Where can I download the latest rom for a 5500? I Tried OZ, great ROM dont get me wrong, but I found package installation to be hell... wo I wnat somthing that comes tock with a web browser.

I recommend The Kompany ROM (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/UpDownload+index-req-viewsdownload-sid-31.phtml) for the 5500. You can download the Applications for The Kompany ROM here (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/UpDownload+index-req-getit-lid-108.phtml). These applications include:
Opera
Hancom Office
Jeode (Java)
Addressbook
Datebook
Updaterom
Patience
Todo
Textedit
You can see some screenshots here (http://www.thekompany.com/embedded/rom/screenshots.php3).

Sharp 3.13 Rom.
I've tried 'em all, and I always go back to this one.

Yea. Komapny is cool, but wont recognize mt CF ornico card.
Konsole on Sharp 3?
-
I'd go with the latest cacko rom if I were you... check out the pinned thread at the top of the sharp forum
-
I think we can reach a consensun here onthsi board that the Cacko ROM seems to be the best bet for a complete Sharp ROM compatibility as well as some juicy add-ons to the ROM and great functionality.
Its been stable like a rock too for me (though for me its on the C750).
-
Cacko would be my ROM of choice if it didn't have so much stuff pre-installed (or at least an option/guide to uninstalling them)
I prefer TKC as it is more "Bare-bones" so I can install only the stuff I want.

i, too, cannot seem to find the 3.13 image, so i flashed my 2-day 'old' (ebayed, refurbed) 5500 w/ 3.10
-
... same here ... Mine is almost a week old. Is on 3.10 as well.
I've tried OZ/opie, Qtopia rom but they had a problem with resuming from suspend.
Do you happen to have a belkin keyboard? I cannot seem to get it running with IRK.

I have found the Sharp 3.13 ROM to be the best and the easiest to install, but then I've only tried OZ and the Sharp original and 3.10 so you can't go by me.
The Sharp 3.13 has the CLEAREST instructions for installation of any software I have ever seen. If you have Windows XP it's a breeze to install THROUGH THE CRADLE and making sure the cradle is plugged into the adapter. You just do a couple of double-clicks with your mouse and wait for it to finish.
You can download it here: [a href=\"http://www.elsix.org/downloads/CD-v313.zip]http://www.elsix.org/downloads/CD-v313.zip[/url]
The icons are UGLY but you can download and install an ipk called cool icons to rectify that problem and download screensavers, boot up screens and wallpaper to dress it up.
-
ok, I am downloading 3.13 right now ... ...
btw, how is this "#2 SL5500 w/Hentges OZ 3.5.3 Opie 40-24" setup working for you? I tried OZ 3.5.3 and also QTopia ROM (from qtopia site) and both had issues with resuming. The touchscreen just remained in slumber land.
Thoughts?

now to try and decide between Cacko and Sharp 3.13 for my 5500

Try the qtopia 2.1 rom again. The resume issue on 5500 has been fixed.
-
Really? Cool! I recall that qtopia can support rotation without reboot right?

The cancel button problem is fixed and I think the right joystick problem also so I "almost" like Open Zaurus now. :-)

ya, me too ... and too bad I do not have 2 Zs ... so I am sticking with 3.13 sharp rom for now.
Frankly, the various images (OZ, TKC, Cacko etc) all are really very impressive to me. I mean, here we have working embedded OS running on commercial pdas like these Zs ... man, I take my hat off! ... and that kinda explains my surprise when the touch screen continued to sleep on the recent build ...

Cool, I will try this at the weekend. Now suspend/resume works I will be able to start using this ROM and finding all the other bugs

hmmm, lpotter, wondering if you could point me to the qtopia 2.1 rom link? I did try 2.1.2 image from [a href=\"http://www.qtopia.net/downloads/roms]http://www.qtopia.net/downloads/roms[/url] ... and got the error.
So, is there a change in the build no. or something? The timestamp of the version I tried 2.1.2 (19-07-2005 7:23:46AM) is identical with a new download from qtopia.net.

On second thoughts, I think not. At least that's not the case for SHARP roms. I vaguely remember doing that for the Qtopia rom from Trolltech, qtopia.net.
Am using hentges rom right now and luving it! ... just trying to get Belkin ir universal keyboard to work. gaim is on the list too. Somehow the default refuse to work for me! grrr
-
How do I get software to install on hentges, i've downloaded all of the feed from OZ, but ipkg install -d sd packagename does not always work. I understand the dependances and all and I install anything it says it needs but nothing will display on my desktop. Even after I click reload icons.
Also a lot of the preinstalled apps will not launch, I keep getting errors or they do nothing.
Any help is much appreciated.

You need to do a ipkg-link after installing the module, since you are installing to sd card.
if you know the ipk module name, not the filename, then do
#ipkg-link add module_name
if not, do
#ipkg-link mount /media/card
Note that this re-adds all the ipkgs found to be installed on the sd card and can take awhile.
You may try reloading the desktop icons by clicking on the "reload icons" icon under settings as well.
