I was wondering how many users have decided to use Cacko lite version of the ROM instead of full one. While creating a poll I decided to add other options just for the completeness...
-
I'm using Cacko lite + Japanese (which wasn't an option) so I choose the cacko lite option in its place.

There are no more options in the poll for that

I am also using Lite

I'm currently using stock roms on my 5500, but I just changed my fiance's to cacko for 5500. However, our experience with that is not going well due to the "lockup on suspend"/"locking up at external power" issue. I'm going to put her on either crow or back to stock if the lockup issues continue. I'm now debating if I should bother trying to move mine to one of the 64-0 roms or not. My 5500 never seems to have the issues hers does. Mine runs SD as ext2 fine, hers would lock up randomly using stock roms (but work fine formatted VFAT). I really want the non-volatility and extra ram, but if it doesn't fly without random loss of engines I'm not much interested. The fine set of additions in the cacko rom are nice, but they aren't worth the instability. Randomly switching SD cards until it succeeds just isn't really an option. It would be nice to have the time and understanding to tackle the issue, but so far neither are readily available.

Same as Stubear, Cacko Lite + Japanese.

- anpachi, gifu, japan

I use the Cacko 5500 ROM currently. I had lockup problems too, mostly due to SD cards that weren't very good quality. Including lexar and panasonic.

Well I will answer both yes and no to Cacko 1.22
to explain - what about those users who have two devices ...
on my 6000L - Stock Sharp ROM
on my C750 - Cacko 1.22 Lite
thank God I had some choice - device wise and ROM wise.

hehe ... I am one of those lazy bastards ...
In my own defence ... I have a c700 as well which I play with. It alternately has PDAXROM, OZ and Cacko as and when I feel like seeing how things are coming along. The 760 I use every day to do real work, so I don't mess with it. Cacko 1.21b, Opie Terminal and a serial cable have saved my bacon on many occasions!

"Dont Fix it if it aint broke"
so goes the saying in technology circles... so some work with what works best and you dont need to upgrade to get the latest and the best always - hell my previous comany used WinNT and were not willing to pay microsoft money for every little upgrade it brings to the market - untill of course MS stopped support for it - and thus forced many to upgrade at any cost... but thats a diferent story.
-
I'm running 1.22 on my 760. Outstanding piece of work!
The Sharp ROM on my 3000 is nearly useless compared to Maslovsky's excellent ROM.

In regard to the answers, it seems there could be a new poll :`who has two zaurus devices ?`
I can begin and answer:`yes,me!` but with my c3k & 6000l i am the unlucky one who has the choice between sharp stock rom and nothing else
-
we should have this poll pinned and maintained in every model specific forum (of course options should be adapted to context) instead of awkwardly placing it in here, the Sharp ROM forum. I have a strange feeling that OZ and pdaX people was too pissed to vote, because of the fact that they have to click that stupid "Sharp ROMs" forum link.
or this should be in the general discussion at least

My initial interest was to see what persentage of Cacko ROM users have actualy chosen the Lite version. Adding other ROM version was a kind of side effect
I have no problem moving this to a more appropriate forum, but I personaly can only move and pin topics withing the Sharp ROM forum.
Also, OZ and pdaX guys - are you that religious to be "pissed off" by simply clicking on "Sharp ROM" link You're voting against it anyway, so what's the big deal?
-
I doubt the people who prefer another piece of software are pissed, but who knows...
More probably, they just don't visit a forum they're not interested in (what a new and revolutionary concept )
-
Well, I've only had my Z for one day, and within 24 hours I'd already installed Cacko (full version 1.22) as I'd read enough about it on these forums to know that it would be my first try
I will probably try some of the other ROMs at some point, but I have to say that the initial impressions are extremely good!
Thanks for the hard work!

Actually, I have three. My 5500 runs a generic Sharp ROM, too.

Anton,
To keep you happy, I just installed the 1.22 lite rom on my c700 to see what I think. You have me convinced. I will be putting this on my 760 very soon ...

I'm number three.
I was lazy indeed ! Coming from pdaX, I wanted to try the X/QT pocketworkstation setup. In 1.22 my wifi didn't work "out of the box", and I was too lazy to figure out why! Shame on me!!
So I flashed 1.21b, cause I know it does work on this one.
BTW : the X/QT pocketworkstation thing seems to work just fine.
When I have some spare time, and I don't want to be lazy any longer, I will try 1.22 (did look nice for the hour I tried it)
Cheers,
Chero.

You should really get in touch with Maslovsky. All cards working in 1.21 should work fine in 1.22.

It may be worth noting that some cards are having problems if you have autoconnect checked, for example my Senao card wont connect if I have thus enabled but will work if I select the profile manually. Don't know where the problem lies on this, it certainly worked OK on 1.21.
This may be your problem..... anyone know why this happens??

The sig more or less says it all. I wrote the FAQ on Maslovsky's webpage for 1.22 Lite + Japanese so that's what I use I ended up choosing 1.22+J in the poll, though. I didn't read what the poll's purpose was beforehand, or I'd have chosen 1.22 lite.
1.22 lite was a fantastic option for me. I had over 100mb of free space afterwards - and even with the full Japanese support (datafiles on SD) I've got 70mb of free space left after installing all my software. It leaves menus less cluttered with things you'll never use.
I've got a "mule" bring back a 3000 this month, and I'll be sorely missing Cacko on it. I'll probably end up either trying to roll my own or offering help to Maslovsky over getting Cacko going on the unit.

I've got another weird 1.22 Wireless interaction. I use a linux firewall based off of Mandrake's Multi-network firewall distribution, and it provides my internal network's DHCP services using the 10.x.x.x IP block.
My wireless is a Dlink 614+ router that I uses strictly as a 4 port switch and WAP, so it's internal DHCP is turned off and the WAN port is unused. It uses 128bit WEP. If the DHCP server were enabled it would serve ips in the high 192. range - not the default 192.168.0.100+ range.
If my 860 is set to get an IP through DHCP, it manages to pull a high 192.x.x.x from the disabled DHCP server in the router, giving me access to the router's configuration pages. (!!) Every other device I have (including my 5500 running Cacko's 64-0 kernel with root on SD) correctly pulls a 10.x.x.x IP from the only active DHCP server.
This happens on 2 seperate 860's. I don't know if it affects the Sharp rom or earlier SL-Cxxx Cacko versions, but I'll definitely test it out when I get my 3000 in. Everthing works fine if I just hard code an IP on the 860.
It has to be one heck of a weird interaction to force my router to cough up an IP from it's interal DHCP server when it is disabled.

I use TKC 2.0 alpha 3 on my 5500
I tried cacko and found it very slow using /home on SD and full of stuff i didn't want (and couldnt remove).
Is there a bare-bones version ?

The Cacko 1.22 lite - thats what the thread is about in the first place... the bare bones version against the full featured version usage.
-
It's not for the 5500 though, is it !!
-
I am using Cacko Hybrid rom for 5500 64-30 with some changes (included mc, sshd etc ...) in rom and as Qtoplia GUI I am using part of TKC rom with also some changes (added neocalc, a few of applets, cyrillic keyboard from 1.22 Cacko rom with slovak and czech keymaps for 5500), installed on 128 SD card. Qtopia can be installed on SD or CF card. If someone is curious to try my cross rom give reply.

Thank you. Now I no longer feel odd saying that I own a pair of C860s! (G)
(Hey - ONE could break!)
In general -
I have played with all the ROMs that I have been able to get my hands on, including the Cackos, but my 24/7/365 system still runs a anglicised Sharp ROM.
1) Cacko kept locking up solid too often & too intermittantly.
2) The 24/7/365 has a LOT of stuff installed to SD & I have been too lazy to go to the trouble to replicate it entirely yet, even to the newer Sharp v1.40 setup.

No, no. You were absolutely right the first time (G). Just ask padishah_emperor; he will vouch for the fact.
I've considered having a set of matching quick draw hip holsters made to carry them in.

- Depends on what's meant by a "custom" ROM. Since I discovered the C1000 allows me to mount the "ROM" in read-write mode (thanks tumnus!), I've, uh, done some changes. Out went Netfront, calendar, addressbook, todo, calculator, jisho, 35MB of useless Japanese dictionary (for this u.s. citizen at least), bunko, and whatever else seemed extraneous at the time. (cheshire grin) In went the PIMpi suite 2.1.4, neoCal 2.4, Opera 7.3, QPdf, and PortaBase, leaving me with 17MB of available space in the "ROM" section, compressed, so I can put more than 17MB of stuff in there.
- I'm still playing with it. (foolish giggle) Opera's icons are still in main storage, and I haven't figured out how to get QKonsole linked over 'cause it's running in order to execute commands to move things around. (grin) I'm currently trying to figure out where bash/sh gets its path from so I can put Blackdown's JVM 1.3.1 in there. I'm hoping I can get my main storage up to at least 60MB free. Stylin!
- But the kernel and base operating system are plain-vanilla Sharp ROM. If that means I'm using Sharp, then that's what I'm using, primarily because the C1000 has a very limited selection of alternates available at this time, and the ones I've seen have rather basic issues, like primary-use buttons not working, and USB, and other things I don't feel I can live without. (shrug) Not complaining, mind you. The C1k just hasn't been out long enough for more options to be out there yet. I can wait.
- If all those mods mean I'm using a "custom" ROM, then that's what I'm using. Far as I'm concerned, it's Sharp, though.
- Cricket is using plain vanilla Sharp 'cause I can't mount it in read/write mode to re-organize it. Then again, if all goes well, someone will buy Cricket and I'll be down to just one Z. (wink)
-
Heh. On my new-to-me 5500 I'm running the 3.1.3 ROM at the moment. I like the relative ease of file transfer.
-
I voted Cacko 1.22 but in fact I use 1.23b1 on my C3k
-
I use Lite, but at this point it isn't saving me any space b/c I've added so many of the base apps back on. I would switch back to the non-lite version if I felt like reflashing.

This made me laugh out loud IRL.
Anyway, I haven't voted as I've hardly started messing with my Z, but amongst other things I use it for rapidly noting things down when I'm having a creative rush. Creative rushes are not nice things to have interupted, especially not repeatedly by your own tools so if I had an unstable rom I'd quickly end up wanting to shoot the thing.

Say, I see one of the vote choices is for "Cacko ROM for 5X00" Does that mean there is a version of cacko that will run on my SL-5600? I sure hope so!
Thanks in advance
