Sharp ROMs / Address Book Issues with Cacko ROM 1.21b

« on: July 30, 2004, 11:06:46 am »

Nothing special at all.  I flashed.  I installed the 1.21B patch.  I hooked up to my PC, and let it rediscover the device (calls it a C860), and then ran the sync.

Note that months and months ago, I followed the instructions to export, sort, and re-import my Outlook contacts.  That may be why mine works and yours does not.

If you search the forums for Outlook and sorting I'm sure you can find the instructions.

Sharp ROMs / Address Book Issues with Cacko ROM 1.21b

« on: July 26, 2004, 09:16:46 pm »

I was wondering if anyone else is experienceing the same issues that I am.  When I click on the alphabet tabs in the Address Book in this ROM, there is no response from the software.   When I type ANY character the the text box located next to these tabs, all the entries in my address book "disappear" (I thought this was a quick search).  The Find function under the Option menu works, but there are many times either of the other 2 ways to locate names would be quicker.

Just got the ROM working, and sync going to Outlook on my C750.  The alphabet tabs in the address book work for me.

Cxx0 General discussions / I'm confused. Which ROM should I use?

Why wasn't the Sharp ROM ok for your needs?
I have a 5500 and, admittedly, simple tastes, so I don't know if I can make any useful recommendations.  That said, I am pretty comfortable with the Sharp ROM for the 5500 (3.1) and it never crashes on me.

The C7XX series doesn't come with an English ROM.  Dynamism did a pretty good English conversion job on the original Japanese Sharp ROM, but there are lots of places that the Japanese stuff just refuses to be converted, like in the "tabs" for sorting/finding in the "Contacts" PIM, etc, etc.  Also, my WiFi card wasn't natively supported in that ROM, either.

Background - I bought my C750 over a year ago.  Loved it.  I think I loved it too much.  Instead of just USING it, I screwed with it.  Tried this ROM, and that ROM, installed this application, and that application, and basically realized that it was never useable, because it was always in some state of disrepair, because I was screwing with it to get it "perfect".  So 6 months ago I put it away, and switched to this "free" PocketPC that I got.  

I hate the PocketPC.  Really, really hate it.  I want my Zaurus back, and working!  I'm willing to put in time to work around problems, but I need to *know* that the problems have work-arounds.

My hardware is :

C750 (from Dynamism) + spare battery + battery charger
Socket Low Power WLAN CF
SanDisk SD cards (64 MB, 256 MB)

I must have:

-USB connection to Windows
-PIMs that sync with Windows, preferably Outlook 2003, but willing to settle for other desktop PIM *if it works*.
-WiFi that works
-Web Browser
-Music Player for OGG
-couple of simple mindless games, like freecell, etc
- and I want all that stuff listed above to work without freezing/hanging/rebooting the Z several times a day

Like to have:
-Palm emulator to run ereader to read my e-books with @$#%#$@%&* DRM
-Java stuff ('cause I'm a Java developer)

So... given all that, can someone recommend which ROM I should be using, and why you think a particular ROM would suit my needs?

Can you post the reference to the class file that appears in the HTML file?  It's difficult to say, without seeing that

There\'s been a new release of that tkc app which fixes the small font problem.
