For Sale / Wanted / Fs Zaurus Sl-c 1000 + Accessories

« on: December 04, 2005, 11:42:30 pm »

Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000

I'm selling a lightly used, pampered Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000. All original packaging, users manuals, CD, etc. are included (all in flawless condition). The screen has absolutely NO DEAD PIXELS.

The Zaurus is still under warranty - if there is a problem, you can ship it back to PriceJapan.com and they will forward it on to Sharp Japan for servicing.
Currently the Zaurus has the pdaXrom on it. If you want me to return the Zaurus to its original condition with the standard Sharp ROM with English conversion, I can switch it back before I ship it out.

Now for the goodies  

Accessories Included for sale: (1) Sharp EA-70S AC Adapter (there was some discussion on the zaurususergroup.org forums about whether the standard AC adaptor made for use in Japan was safe to use in the U.S., so I bought the U.S. adapter to be safe. (2) Corsair 1GB Secure Digital Card. (3) Symbol wireless compact flash card (works right out of the box with several different ROMs and has the lowest profile of any wifi card used with the Zaurus. (4) Kennsington USB mini mouse and USB host connector (so you can navigate the Zaurus with a mouse through its USB host functionality. (5) WriteShields screen protector has protected the absolutely stunning screen since I took it out of the box for the first time. 

I attached a photograph of the Zaurus running pdaXrom and all of the accessories below.

I will only ship to the U.S. That means I will not send it to Nigeria or some other South African country, nor will I accept Western Union Money Orders. Please do yourself a favor by not inquiring about whether I will ship abroad.

You can e-mail me at wmadan@sbcglobal.net.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Sword And Biblestudy For Rc12

« on: November 06, 2005, 10:37:31 pm »

Hi,

Thanks for your test. I think I have to upgrade to RC12 and test it. But I am busy with my Segway   

BTW, did you install any bible to sword yet? it will give seg fault if you don't have any bible installed.

I will test it in the next couple weeks. Sorry for making you guys disappointed.  Thanks.

Jacky

I just compiled biblestudy 1.0 and sword 1.5.8 using the latest SDK cross-compiler.

To run biblestudy, you need...
1. RC11+
2. wxwidgets from pdaXrom RC12 feed
3. install sword 1.5.8
4. sword bibles
5. install biblestudy (of course)

Since I don't have RC12 installed, I did not test it yet. Please give me feedback (either works or does not work). If it is fine, I will upload it to unstable feed.

I just tried to install sword/biblestudy on my C1K and rc12. Had to add libtiff and libcurl and then biblestudy launched and I got to the main screen, then it seg faulted.

Jacky,

Actually, I hadn't installed any Bible modules yet; that's probably why it segfaulted. I'll try it again and load a module to see if it works.

Jacky,

Ok, I loaded two Bibles into /usr/share/sword (both the mods.d and modules directories) and started Biblestudy and it still segfaulted.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Opie-reader Version 0.7j

see in /usr/share/applications and copy/modify one of the .desktop file.

place the icon is /usr/share/pixmaps

Thanks, pgas!

I found a couple of bugs. The "zoom in" and "page down" icons do not appear in the toolbar. A space for them is creating on the toolbar, and pressing the space yields the desired action.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Sword And Biblestudy For Rc12

« on: November 03, 2005, 10:11:59 am »

Have you considered GnomeSword? I wonder if it would work better because of the presence of the gnome libraries for pdaXrom.

Back when I was running Xqt and Debian under the Sharp ROM, I installed both BibleStudy and GnomeSword in Debian and GnomeSword ran faster.

Bill
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=101981\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

can I run GnomeSword within xfce4 ?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=102003\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I don't know; I think someone would have to undertake the task of compiling GnomeSword for pdaXrom. I ran it in a chrooted Debian (and Xqt) environment when I was running the standard Sharp ROM. All I had to do under Debian was "apt-get install Gnomesword" and the package installed.

I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to begin trying to compile GnomeSword for pdaXrom, but would certainly use it if someone did.  

GnomeSword's interface is very clean and simple.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Cacko Rom 1.23 For C1000 Progress

« on: November 01, 2005, 04:14:34 pm »

You need to (1) Resize the root partitition; (2) Reboot; (3) Format user flash; (4) Reboot; (5) Flash the ROM; and then finally (6) Reboot.

Bill
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=101718\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Thanks for the tip Bill -- but perhaps I wasn't clear.

I did resize the root partition, the Zaurus started to reboot, but stopped at the white screen with the SHARP logo in red. It stayed there. So I tried the whole process again, taking out the battery first and resizing the root parition. Reboot and... same problem.

The Cacko instructions don't mention anything about formatting the user flash... How is that done? Is it really necessary?

 


Thanks...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=101723\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

If I remember correctly, the installation routine asks if you want to format the user flash, but there is a menu option for it, I believe.

The first time I flashed the ROM, I chose 121 as the root partition size. My Z hung when booting, so I went back in and set it at the recommended size of 32. Then it worked. So you might want to reflash the ROM with the size of the root partitition as 32MB.

Now that I know I need to load a module from the feed, can you confirm the correct module to load is usb-serial-modules-2.4.20_1.23-lite-1_arm.ipk?

No, you need usb-input-modules

Hmmm... never flashed before... did the first step: resized the root partition as indicated in the instructions... my Zaurus restarted but it only got to the SHARP screen ("Shibaruku O something kudasai... excuse my inexistent Japanese...   ).

It's been stuck on that screen for at least half an hour... HELP!! What do I do??

Thanks...

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Usb Mouse In Cacko 1.23

« on: November 01, 2005, 02:19:35 pm »

Please, read my posts carefully. If you use Lite verison you need to install appropriate kernel modules to support USB devices.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=101691\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Anton,

Sorry to prompt you to reply on this. I did read the information on the "Lite" version in the Sharp ROM forum you posted, but did not read far enough. In the "Kernel" section, you wrote: "- Included updated USB storage and serial drivers from 2.4.31 kernel" and I took that for USB mouse support working out of the box. My bad.

Now that I know I need to load a module from the feed, can you confirm the correct module to load is usb-serial-modules-2.4.20_1.23-lite-1_arm.ipk?

Does the new Cacko ROM support USB host capability (mouse, keyboard) out of the box in both the full and lite versions?

When booting up, I see the mouse "+" sign, but when I plug in my USB mouse, it doesn't work. Is there a script to run or anything else I must do to enable my mouse?

For the 1K, do we truly need to resize FLASH to 32K?  If so, why?  What are the ramifications?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=101505\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The first time I flashed the ROM I chose 121 as the size of the root partition, thinking it was the same as the pdaXrom. I got an error when the ROM was booting. So, I reflashed this time choosing 32MB as the size of the root partition and everything worked.
