Sharp ROMs / Video Player Success stories

Look in the ZUG downloads section for the Alpha version of TKCrom, that's what I'm running, and it's been completely stable for me.  Can't remember exactly where I got the home on SD script, but I know it was from one of the posts here on ZUG, just do a search for it, and if you can't find it let me know, it's small and I can email it to you.

I'm running the latest TKC rom with the home on SD script, found a pre-compiled compatible release of opieplayer2 so I can compress vids using the latest codec's (XviD, DivX, etc.)  Played around a bit, and I can now run full screen 25fps video.  I compressed the movie Anchorman to 55MB and it plays great.  Small space, full screen 25fps.  The Zaurus is truly a tweaker's dream handheld!

5x00 General discussions / making movies for the Zaurus

I've got a 5500, I'm running the latest TKC rom with the home on SD script (which ROCKS!), I just installed a compatible version of Opieplayer2, which allows me to use the XviD codec to compress things.  I've been toying around and I'm now running at 25fps full screen video, with stereo sound.  And the best part?  10 minutes of video is coming in right around 7, that's right 7 MB.  That means almost any movie will fit under 100 MB, most way under.  So if I spring for a 1GB CF card, I can prob cram it with about 15 movies.  Now who say's my Z is dead?  Let's see the IPaq'ers compete with this!

5x00 Hardware / Screen Dust

« on: October 28, 2004, 08:00:17 pm »

I have a 5500, and there is a flake of dust or something on the backside of the touchpad.  It sticks down just enough that the light catches it and makes it a bright annoying spot to look at.  Does anyone know of a way to clean off the backside of the touchpad?  I tried to take it apart but the whole LCD unit seems quite sealed up.  Thanks for in advance for any suggestions or ideas.
