Accessories / Is It Just Me Or Are The Accessories Crap?

« on: October 09, 2006, 04:04:43 am »

Well the pentopia stylus seems to be doing a good job so far. The extendable barrel is useful too. Haven't got around to putting the screen protector back on yet though.

Software / Note Taking App - Suggestions?

« on: September 28, 2006, 08:13:25 am »

The programs I tried all seem to switch to low res portrait mode designed for the previous Zaurii I guess.

The files and folders thing would work I guess but I wanted something a little more accessable.

I'm actually thinking of writing one!

Thanks for this SDK. Looks great. Hopefully try it out tonight. One question: Will I need anything else other than what's mentioned in your guide to do GUI development for my C3200?

Thanks.

Software / Note Taking App - Suggestions?

« on: September 28, 2006, 04:42:42 am »

This is driving me mad. I've searched the web high and low, I've scoured every related post on this site but can't find a note taking app that suits my needs.

I've got an SL-C3200 with CackoLite and I'm looking for a simple notes app that can have categories associated with the notes.

Can anyone recommend something? Being able to export them in one go (or at least back them up) would be nice too.

Ah I see it. It's in lite as well. Kino seems to be a no go for me. It just won't play the files I encode or even a demo file I downloaded from Cresho.

I'll try overclocking with the applet and use mplayer


BTW thanks for everyones help so far

Ok if I use VirtualDub I get a playable movie but the quality isn't great and that's three rather long steps to encoding. DVD Decryptor, Vidomi, then Virtual Dub.

Anyone know of a quicker way and preferably better quality (but still playable) if possible.

Maybe I not encoding the movies correctly. I used Cresho's guide at http://home.earthlink.net/~cresho/start.htm

If you installed the lite version make sure to use the right package feed.  This is the one that's on the Cacko website.

When I installed mplayer and kino from there it worked great.

Which version of kino did you use?
Could you also tell me what settings you used.

Thanks.

Do you use kino2 to do the overclocking or something else?

Actually I don't think I saw the lite one before but my requirements have changed a bit since playing with the Z. Well I've got Cacko Lite installed now and it seems nice. The icons are much better and no pesky apps. Great start.

I'm really struggling to get kino/mplayer or even just mplayer to work. All the info on kino and mplayer I can find seems to be for old versions so not sure which options to use. I got it to play once but it's not working again. Anyway I'll create another post regarding this.

I had tried Cacko but it was such a long time ago now that I can't remember if it did the job I needed. Thanks guys I'll take a look.

Is it as stable as the Sharp ROM?

I'm not bothered about overclocking as long as I can play movies full screen (unless it helps achieve this of course).

Is there a way to build a minimal sharp ROM?
Or can I get one prebuilt?
Or can I just install/uninstall software then just do a backup? Will there be settings/shared files left over?

After playing with all the ROM's I've finally settled on Sharp ROM cause it just works! I'm currently using TRIsoft English Sharp ROM which has a few extras and I've finally decided that Kopi is actually quite good. Movies and music is the only other thing I use. I'd be interested in the tetsu kernal but can't find english info/download. Movies seem a bit slow in the standard ROM.

What I want to do though is get the right software for my needs and nothing more, then do a backup so it's easy to get it back the way I want it.

So what's the easiest way to acheive this?

Cheers,
Dob
