C1000/3x00 General discussions / C3x00 Hd Data

« on: October 15, 2008, 01:53:16 pm »

Hi all

I need the data that usually resides on the C3x00s' harddrives - dictionary files and possibly the gps/map
app data - I'm primarily looking for the dictionary files.
Conics used to have copies of the CDs that came with C3000 online at http://pda.conics.net/c3000/cd-apps/
and the copies had that data, but that page is no more.
Could anyone point me to another download location or perhaps put the CDs online if possible (maybe make a
torrent of it?)? You'd make one Japanese language student very happy! I did have them but lost them
(and a lot of other stuff) moving back from Japan.

Thanks!

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Pivot Head Wobblyness

« on: October 15, 2008, 01:41:59 pm »

Hello all

For a long time, ever since I dropped it once, my zaurus' screen mechanism was a bit wobbly.
Nothing that would prevent me from using it, but it finally got on my nerves and I decided to fix
it now. Could anyone give me some advice/pointers?
BTW, the wobblyness is not in the screen lifting but the screen rotating part, so the screen panel moves
a few mm to the sides when in portrait mode (only if I push it with my finger, not on its own).

Thanks!

C1000/3x00 General discussions / C3x00 Encrypted Dictionaries

« on: March 10, 2008, 12:05:45 pm »

Hello everyone, long time no type!

I am not familiar with EPWING format tools and a friend who was skilled with them has gone AWOL (wallabee, you alive?) so could someone with knowledge and expertise tell me if it's possible/viable to extract/copy the data from the encrypted dictionary and create a non-encrypted (but same in all other aspects) on the Zaurus itself, ie putting libeb and libzsecure to use?

Thanks!

Gentlemen,

What are the possible ways to get a high speed (i.e. 480Mbps) USB bus on Zaurii?

Hello fine gents

How would one go about inputting japanese in Opie?
While Opie is great, I cannot go without Japanese input.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Powermanga

« on: November 12, 2005, 09:53:43 am »

I am having some troubles running Powermanga from Cacko feed on a C1k with Cacko1.23full;
when I run it I can hear the music but no picture shows up for couple seconds, after that
the screen just goes white and Zaurus becomes unresponsive (the game music still plays).
Was anybody successful in making it run? If yes, were there any other requiered steps
besides installing the game and SDL + SDLmixer ipk?

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Zdict

« on: November 11, 2005, 12:02:37 pm »

How are you gentlemen.

Zdict ipk v0.1 has been released.
You can find it on http://life.is.just.a.dre.am/zaurus/.
You're also going to need Kakasi and eb library, both available on that address.
When you install the ipk (it might need to be run with sudo ipkg install), run the following 2 commands in console if you own a C3000 or C3100:
sudo ln -s /hdd3/dict1 /home/QtPalmtop
sudo ln -s /hdd3/dict2 /home/QtPalmtop
If you want to load the dictionary files from an sd or cf card, you're going to have to rename dict1 and dict2 folder to dict (ie, move the files from dict2 to dict1 and then rename dict1 to dict).

Please report bugs and twitches.

Also, I'd recommend you to check Ztenv if you haven't, it's a fork of Zten just like Zdict and can be used with Sharp's default dictionaries. You can get it on
http://ebsnap.lkj.jp/zaurus/,
the files you need are
http://ebsnap.lkj.jp/zaurus/zlib-eb_1.2.3v01_arm.ipk
http://ebsnap.lkj.jp/zaurus/ztenv_1.9.25_arm.ipk
http://ebsnap.lkj.jp/zaurus/ztenv-c3000_001_none.ipk
Along them, you need Kakasi and eblib but I guess you already have those two installed for Zdict.
Somebody please check if Ztenv recognizes the /dict1/ and /dict2/ folders on HD, I don't have a HD-equipped Z so cannot check on my own.
A useful addition is PopupApplet, http://ebsnap.lkj.jp/zaurus/popupapplet_0.02_arm.ipk
which splits the screen in half between Ztenv and currently running program (text editor/reader for example) and lets you lookup words on fly. Ztenv has to be running for it to work, of course.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Wellenreiter And Kismet On Cacko

« on: November 02, 2005, 11:34:27 am »

This is a small instructional I slapped up couple minutes ago for TsingTao when he asked me how did I get these two running; pardon the grammar mistakes and such, English is not my native language and it's rather late here.

-----

About Wellenreiter, I installed the files from the alternative cacko feed ( http://web.mol.ru/~zaurus/feed/ - libpcap, libopie1, libopie2, wellenreiter - install them in this order), at first I got some grays too because it didn't work, I clicked on Autodetect in settings, then checked if the driver name is correct, and there it was, hostap, and everything should work, but it didn't.
The thing was, after 20-some tries without any success I noticed the 'Name' selection box in Wellenreiter configuration, it defaults to wifi0 and it should be wlan0, I changed that and voila! it works. So, first you click on Autodetect, and then switch from wifi0 to wlan0 in Interface box.

About kismet, it is a bit more work. First, make sure you installed libpcap, kismet and kismet-qt from the cacko feed, then:
In the network app create a new service, call it anything you wish, on the config tab untick the 'Non-Spec ESS-ID' and enter 'any' as SSID. Switch the network type from Infrastructure to Ad-hoc and on the TCP/IP tab untick the box for automatic address assignment, then enter this: IP – 10.1.0.2 Mask - 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.1.0.1
Also, untick the 'Autodetect nameservers' on the DNS tab and enter 10.1.0.1 in the first box.
Now, open /opt/QtPalmtop/etc/kismet/kismet.conf with your favourite editor =) and then find the 'source=blablabla' line (almost on the beginning). Change it to match your card (in my case it looks like this:
source=hostap,wlan0,hostap
first one is the driver name (write it according to your card or according to what Wellenreiter had autodetected) and the second one is the interface name, be sure to change the interface name to wlan0 since the default is 'eth0', not much sense in leaving that right? The third part is name and you can put anything.
Now, scroll down, somewhere at 1/3 of the file there's a line 'gps=true', comment it down (put # in front of it). Save the file.

Connect to the network (dummy network) we configured on the beginning, then open a terminal (don't run the icon for kismet, fails for me too) and enter 'sudo kismet'. It should work. If it acts weird, try entering these two lines:
cardctl eject
cardctl insert
before starting up the network and running 'sudo kismet' (try the same with Wellenreiter if it fails too).


BTW, anyone knows how to get Kismet to display colors, AND the full lines (frames)? When I put TERM=vt100, color is not supported, when I put TERM=linux, lines do now show up correctly, and I'm not too sure if there's color, either.

1) What's the average throughput compared to quoted 128kbps?
2) Does it fall down too much at times?
3) Does their web-proxy work only on port 80, or is the whole http traffic regardless of port routed through it?
4) Are you able to use it while commuting in subway/trains?
5) Does that 'platform certificate' program you are required to install/get by upgrading the ROM impose any limitations on USB/IrDA ports or additional SD communication cards (i.e. can you connect to other computers through them while it's running - I would like to be able to use my computer's screen and keyboard to net when at home)?
6) How fast is it drying the battery compared to when you're not using the card; also, is it possible to put it in dormant mode of some kind?
7) I've seen on various pictures that the card bulges out on the side quite a bit. Is it a problem when you're holding your Z in hands and typing?
Do they disconnect you at certain time intervals and if they do, do you get the same IP once you reconnect?

Thank you
