Sharp ROMs / Wireless Problems On Cacko/ Tk Roms
« on: September 14, 2005, 02:21:27 am »
Hi everyone

I made the big mistake last week and re flashed my 5500 in an effort to get Wellenreiter to work. Now i get different results everytime i flash either Cacko or TheKompanyROM.


My setup:
SL5500
256 SD card, 64m CF
Pretec WLAN
Cacko 64/0 or theKompany alpha3 32/30
updated Cacko kernel with either 64/0 or 32/30 depending on base install.

After flashing i add

Card "Pretec CompactWLAN 802.11"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "prism2_cs"

to wlan-ng.conf

I define a new WLAN setup

Now sometimes i get the network applet, sometimes not. If i don't the card lights up immediately but iwconfig shows nothing.

If i do get the applet when i try to connect i get the Card light flashing and initializing, for a few seconds and then it dies.

Cardctl ident correctly identifes the card

As i said i get different results with each flash.

any help greatly appreciated

Sharp ROMs / Opera 7.30 - Not Working
« on: September 05, 2005, 03:50:38 pm »
hi everyone

Still trying to find the best ROM for my aging 5500. Currently back on the Cacko ROM with the new kernal.

Apart from the occasional lockup it fairly stable.

I am currently trying to get Opera working. After a lengthy install time it lock up the Z. After a quick reboot i get the opera icon. Running from here i get the starburst on the icon and the hour glass for a few seconds. The hour glass goes but the star burst effect stays.

After closer inspection i can see that i have have files in /home/qtpalmtop/opera

Any ideas or is it simply a case of never finishing the install correctly?

thanks

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Rom For 5500
« on: August 29, 2005, 01:12:08 pm »
I have brought my 'old' 5500 out of retirement and have been flashing various ROMS (OZ/GPE, Hentges, pdaXrom) but currently settled on the  Cacko 64/0 ROM. I have updated the kernel, been slowly adding various applicaitons that i stumbled across incl. VNC Server, VNC viewer, Opera, replaced the icon pack, text editor, file manager, to name a few.

There are a couple of applications i really would like to get working:

1. Wellenreiter - where can i get the correct version + support libs for my setup?

Cacko feed  www.bryandeluca.com/cacko/feed/packages or
http://www.zaurususergroup.org/modules.php...=titleA&show=10

I am having problems with both.

2. Are the applications in the feed compatable with my 5500?

3. I got my Pretec WLAN (Prism) card working for a while, but now it is very intermittent - using 128 bit wep, edited the wlan-ng.conf file as mentioned elsewhere - i have tried everything!

any help appreciated - thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.3.5 Sync with Outlook 2003
« on: March 17, 2004, 09:54:34 am »
Been switching back and forth between TKRom and OZ3.3.5 / 3.3.6 and on both OZ versions i am unable to select any contact / calendar  options for Outlook from the Syncronisation options. It just does not see anything almost as if Outlook is not there.

The version i am having problems with is 1.2A (UK version).

I have no problems with TKRom and the newer version of Intellisync

General Discussion / Downloading from Feeds in one go
« on: March 02, 2004, 03:57:50 am »
Hi all

I do not always have a net connection from my Z. If i want to download from a feed like http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/openzaurus/...le-gcc3/SL5xxx/ is there a way of getting all the files in one go instead of downloading each one seperately?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / PretecWLAN Card not \'starting\'
« on: February 20, 2004, 12:15:02 pm »
Been trying to get OZ3.3.6 Pre1 working on my 5500. Initially seemed to recognise cards when i switch between my CF card an WiFi card but not any more.

I have switched back to a 3.3.2 version of hotplug but my CF card only mounts when i reboot with it inserted.

My WiFi card, when inserted, \'lights up\' and cardctl ident identifies it correctly but i cannot see it at all in the card applet on the taskbar and rebooting when it\'s inserted doesn\'t change anything.

I would really like to keep OZ but need to get this sorted as i am on a biz trip next week and need full PIM and wifi

thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OpieMail3 on OZ3.3.6pre1 - 5500
« on: February 17, 2004, 08:28:34 am »
Thought i would try OZ again and in particular the new Opie mail application.

I installed from the 5th toe feed with dependencies but when i try to run the application, either from the icon or console, i get the error \'Could not locate application opiemail\'

any ideas?

thanks

General Discussion / C7xx software on 5500
« on: February 04, 2004, 04:01:23 am »
Ok guys i need someone out there to clarify this one. I installed a couple of apps (Petite Peinture, TreeExplorer) which state that they are for c7xx PDA\'s.

To my surprise both run, apparently OK, on my 5500. I didn\'t expect this!

Is it just me missing something or is this a surprise to others?

Just curious
