Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Games Under Gpe

« on: May 01, 2006, 12:04:58 pm »

One thing I really miss in GPE, even though it is not really a very "serious" request, are games.

in the standard QT environment, as well as in embedded Debian or PdaXrom, there are many good games I would really like to see natively under GPE.

In a very personal ranking I would really like to see:

1) Exult (It is both in QTE version and in Pocketdebian)
2) Crimson Skies
3) Battle for Wesnoth
4) MAME (It works very well, at least for the 1970' and 80' games on my 150MHZ nokia 7710!!!)

I am sure this list is far from complete but would be very nice
I would really appreciate if at least an attempt could be done for some of them!

Thanks a lot anyway for the great effort put in OZ!

Guylhem Rom / Bugs In 1.0rc4

« on: May 01, 2006, 09:40:12 am »

Thanks for the info Hrw!

Guylhem, I attach the DTL1_CS (I do not have the serial_CS) module taken from my stock rom.
It should, hopefully, work correctly with your rom.
Could you add it so that I can use the BT card?


Thanks a lot,
Adalberto

Guylhem Rom / Bugs In 1.0rc4

« on: April 20, 2006, 09:18:00 am »

Hi,

does anyone know what module is needed for the SOCKET CF BT card to work in Guylhem rom?

I am not near my home desktop to check, but if possible, it would be a great plus to have BT working.

On the sharp rom I was using Tumnus BT IPk.
Thanks a lot for the effort!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Collie Oz-opie 3.5.4 Issues

« on: March 21, 2006, 06:49:20 pm »

Hi,
I just installed OZ 3.5.4 Opie image on my 5500 and liked it very much.
I found a couple of issues tough:

1) I attached a SanDisk 802.11b Low power card, and while it is recognized and I can configure it with the network tool, I have serious stability issues with my home WiFi connection using a 128bit WEP encription. The card connects but loses the link after a short period (I can barely update the feed list!) and I have to extract it, suspend and resume and reinsert it to have the connection back for a short while
2) My SD card is recognized and I can use it, but it is not shown in the card applet in the panel
3) Apparently the automatic time update is a bit erratic as it seems not to consider the timezone and sometimes it completely changes the time
4) Sometimes it freezes, especially with the CF card inserted

I hope this issues can be easily solved because I like the new rom a lot! :-)

PS: speaking of small old bugs never corrected, apparently the console can still not be closed using the exit command, as in the good old 3.1 times! ;-)

6000 - Tosa / Video Acceleration Fund

« on: December 10, 2005, 06:02:20 pm »

I am also in.
I think a 50€ is reasonable for me in order to have a HW accellerated Video on the 6000

6000 - Tosa / Latest Guylhem Rom

« on: October 28, 2005, 07:10:29 pm »

Oops - forgot to compile it. Please wait until tuesday (vacations!)
Alternatively, some one here (adf ?) could simply download the kernel sources compile the module, and post it here.

I'll be included in rc5, hopefully with a network icon fix

I'll wait!
No problem!
Thanks a lot again,

Hello

Since there are so much of you who need this, I'll add it as a module so 1.0rc3 users can simply insmod it

6000 - Tosa / Latest Guylhem Rom

Hello

Just wait. I will try to have a rc4 soon with also the network icon fixed. Hopefully by thursday.

Guylhem,
would it be possible to add BT CF support?
I understand you did not add BT card drivers in your kernel, but I would really need to have my socket (rev.F) BT card working.

I would be more than happy to try your ROM if you could add this driver (at the moment I do not have my linux box working and cannot work on compiling mine  :-( ).

I hope it is not a big deal.

Thank you very much,
Adalberto

Software / Smartmovie

...Now why anyone would want to use this on the Z is beyond me, and I doubt you'll find someone here who does (then again, I might be wrong ...) -- there are quite a few Open Source alternatives for bringing Video to the Z, and most people are in fact using those.
...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91614\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Maybe because they used it on their phones and liked it
Maybe because they wanted to test it
Maybe it is a good and easy to use software working on multiple platforms...

I do not know; I was looking for a software for my 7710 and found that smartmovie works for the Z too.
Considering that there are some other shareware players for the Z and that some people use them, I was just wondering if someone gave a try to this one too. To know the pros and cons, apart from the cost

:-)

Besides, given that there aren't many companies still supporting the Z, i think it is alsways a good thing to see someone doing it. I do not know how many here were aware of this either

Regards,
Adalberto

Hi,
did someone try Smartmovie for the Sharp Zaurus?
Smartmovie Web page

It is widely used on Symbian Smartphones with apparently good success.

How does it work in "formatting" videos for the Z and as a player?

Thanks,
regards,

General Discussion / Extremememory 2gb Sd

« on: August 12, 2005, 01:36:34 pm »

How about this ? There seem to be more problems with 2gb cards.

If it is a driver problem, there is still hope for my sandisk ultra II 2Gb card.
You just made my day,

Chero.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91591\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I saw the link...
No good news.
Let's hope it is just a driver issue, but theoretica all the not 5x00 models have the standard SD drivers that "should" not give problems....

PS: I have a 6000L with the Sharp ROM

General Discussion / Extremememory 2gb Sd

« on: August 12, 2005, 05:39:00 am »

Hi,
I just bought an extrememory 2GB SD card.
It is recognized in my PC, but my 6000L (stock kernel) apparently does not like it.
Did someone try it?
I know some people had the 1GB SD working, but any experience with the 2GB one?
Did someone try a different 2GB card and has it working?
I wonder if maybe the 6000 cannot handle big cards.

Thank you,
regards,
Adalberto

Juts create one simple contact and try to import it to Outlook. Does that work?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=86562\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I created some sample CSV files with 1 address in each and all failed with a "Translation Error" message.

I tried to attach a sample CSV file I exported from Ka/Pi that I could not import in OL 2003 but apparently it was not working

Here are the lines in the file:

Code: [Select]

Formatted Name,"Family Name","Given Name","Additional Names","Honorific Prefixes","Honorific Suffixes","Nick Name","Birthday","Category","Home Address Street","Home Address Locality","Home Address Region","Home Address Postal Code","Home Address Country","Home Address Label","Business Address Street","Business Address Locality","Business Address Region","Business Address Postal Code","Business Address Country","Business Address Label","Home Phone","Business Phone","Mobile Phone","Mobile (home)","Mobile (work)","Home Fax","Business Fax","Car Phone","ISDN","Pager","Email Address","Mail Client","Title","Role","Organization","Note","URL","Resource","SIP","Department","Profession","Assistant's Name","Manager's Name","Spouse's Name","Office","IM Address","Anniversary","Gender","Children","FreeBusyUrl","ExternalID"

Code: [Select]

Juleps,"","Juleps","","","","","","Ristoranti","","","","","","","Via Torricelli 21","Milano","MI","20136","Italy","","","+39 (02) 89409029","","","","","","","","","","","","","","Brunch alla domenica\nChiuso il lunedì\n","www.julepsmilano.com","resource-name","","","","","","","","","","","","",":"
Maybe this helps.

Can you try to find out what in the csv card file is wrong such that outlook does not import it?

Yes i could check, but I do not have much experience in the Vcard parsing, any suggestion on what could I be looking for?

And thanks for the work on the OL sync!
