Cxx0 General discussions / Installing Icons on C860

Thanks Stubear (and thanks to Emperor who was kind enough to reply to my PM.) You guys are great.

I'm still learning how to use the terminal to move files around. Is there any good GUI file manager for Qtopia?

Anyone know how to go about this? I'm still using the Sharp ROM (1.40) and I'm not sure.

Would it be easier if I flashed the C860 with the PDAXROM? And, if so, how do I install new icons then?

/I apologize ahead of time for the newbie questions.

Cxx0 Hardware / GSM CF Card: C860 as Cellphone

« on: June 01, 2004, 10:23:43 pm »

Has anyone has any luck in using the C860 as a cellphone?

There are a number of CF GSM adaptors, but they come with software for PocketPC and Windows OSs only. Has anyone, in all of their Linux travels, seen any kind of software that might work, in conjunction with one of these cards, on the C860?

Here are a few such cards:

One for GSM networks:

One for 3G:

Cxx0 General discussions / 2GB CF Card in the C860?

BB, Lareya, thanks to the both of you for your replies.

I\'ll try giving the old Search button a whirl to find the instructions, although I remember many posters had problems even after creating a single partition and formatting the CF to FAT32. I\'m wondering if the Hitachi/Muvo card is a sure thing or a 50/50 proposition.

David, thanks for the quick reply!

I was thinking of grabbing the 4GB card out of a Muvo for use in the C860 as well. If anyone can confirm their own personal success stories I\'d love to hear them. (So far, I\'ve only found one vague confirmation in a thread from the beginning of this month.)

As for 1GB SD cards, I know Staples (in the U.S) has the SanDisk 1GB card for around $350. ($150 less than the suggested retail price.) An online store called CanogaCamera.com says they have them in stock for $290. Still too pricey for me.

I think I\'ll be sticking with CF for a while.

David, have you had any experience watching avi files off of your CF on the C860? If so, how well does the Zaurus pull them off? (And, of course, how much battery time does it eat?)

First off, thanks to everyone who roams these forums. I\'ve been a silent reader for quite a while and have found many a solution to many a problem by reading the wonderful responses provided by ZUG members.

Really, you have no idea. Thanks!  

Second, forgive the newbie question, but I can\'t seem to find any confirmation in existing threads.

I\'ve been thinking about buying a Sandisk 2GB CF card for use in the C860. Has anyone had any experiences with 1GB+ CF cards in their Zaurii? If so, under which ROMs?  :?:
