Themes, Icons, and Backgrounds / Themes on the C series

« on: July 29, 2005, 05:03:28 am »

has anyone tried porting the opie "appearance" app to the sharp rom?  would this be possible?  that thing was amazing for the 5500 (i never tried OZ on my c750 or c1000).  anyway,  i would love to see that app on the sharp rom,  it provides a lot of personalization.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / How Does Your Pdair Case Fit?

« on: July 29, 2005, 04:03:07 am »

i just got a pdair case from brando and the thing is a really tight fit (yes it is installed properly).  with the insert in, i have to stretch the closure tab to the point that the female end of the clasp is being pulled apart from the leather.  without the insert, is it still tight.  i have not tried it with an sd or cf card in one of the slots, but i do not think it would close at all if i did.  how do other peoples zaurus fit their pdair cases (loose, tight, just right)?  can you fit a cf or sd card in the slots?

why are the controls on my direction pad backwards?  i had this problem with znester and zgnuboy, but i solved it with a keybindings file.  is there really not way to customize the keys in snes9x?  there seems to be some info about doing this on the japanese sites, but i can not make heads or tails of it.

Mac Issues / Sync Ical And Ko/pi In Mac Osx 10.4 (tiger)

« on: July 15, 2005, 06:10:17 am »

i just bought a c1000 and i refuse to believe that i can not sync with my mac. instead of really syncing i have set up apache webservers on the mac and on the zaurus and used a shell script to get the calendar off the mac (via ssh and expect), another script then posts the updated calendar localy on the webserver (ko/pi calls these automatically).  i then subscribe to the zaurus calendar.  if you only show the zaurus calencar in ical, you will have an updated calendar with no duplicates.  i can post more detailed instructions if anyone is interested.

fundable.org is a site that will facilitate donation collecting for a certain project (feature, bug fix, app port, develpment machine, etc), but refunds peoples money if the target dollar amount is not reached.  could be a way to get those donations rolling.  i bet more people would donate if they felt there was a specific "goal" that was tied to their donation.  just a thought.

General Discussion / What Is The Most Reliable Rom?

« on: June 30, 2005, 03:23:25 am »

I would love to use it for:
1. composing emails to be fired off when I get in range of a hotspot
...
4. General PDA functionality.
But for one reason or another I have given up on these options (poor software, flaky network connectivity, esp. to WEP).
Maybe later versions of OZ are better, but I doubt from reading around that they are any more stable.

thanks for the advice, it looks like i might be out of luck though. am i right that the sharp rom is my only real choice?  cacko does not seem to be released for the c1000 and the things you say you have given up on with OZ are the things i need.  too bad.  i have been praying for the day OZ becomes dependable for years, maybe it will come soon.

General Discussion / What Is The Most Reliable Rom?

« on: June 27, 2005, 05:30:32 am »

i have had a several affairs with the zaurus starting with the 5000d,  each foray has ended with me being slightly frustrated. i sold the last z i owned, a c750, a year ago. i cant stay away from these things though, i just ordered a c1000.  unlike last year, i actually need a reliable PDA now (i am no longer a CS student free to hack all day).  what do people think is the most reliable ROM to use?  reliable meaning i can use it for more than a week without re-flashing. also what would you consider as a stable 802.11 card?  i would love to hear from someone who uses their zaurus daily, and has not reflashed the ROM lately.  thanks.
