Sharp ROMs / Hybrid Rom Qtopia 1.6.2

« on: May 31, 2004, 06:29:14 pm »

Hi all,

I have been testing various roms recently on my SL5500 and I think the best looking Rom I have found has to be this Hybrid Rom. The only problem I have is connecting it to my PC so that I can synch with Outlook. I can get the USB network interface up and ping my Zaurus but I cannot link to it with either Qtopia Desktop or Outlook. I have configured USB as TCP/IP advanced and as I said ping works no problem. The version of Qtopia Desktop I tried was 1.6 as stated in the download page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. For now I am going back to Sharp Rom 3.13 with Cacko Patch for APM and battery (Which synchronizes and backups perfectly by the way).

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Kernel For Sl-5500/5000d

I have tried this kernel update and the battery applet appears to be working fine but I also hit a problem restoring data. It appears to be unable to see backups from 3.13 rom. I have some old backups from 3.10 and it can see those to select them but so much has changed on my zaurus since then. :?

Sharp ROMs / theKompany.rom versions ?

I found on tkrom2.0 alpha3 on 5500 that you can backup to PC with Sharp backup software but not to CF or SD. I found I had problems when restoring though as I could not reboot after doing a restore which led to a constant message looping on bootup. I have since given up on backup and rely on synchronisation only to safeguard my data.

Another problem I have with tkrom is the wifi status does not show signal strength as the wifi icons are all the same. Can anyone running SharpRom 3.10 or 3.13 make a copy of the wifi icons from home/qtpalmtop/pics/netmon for me. I\'m not sure whether both sets eg WIFI0.png-WIFI3.png and WIFIa0.png-WIFIa3.png are needed. This would save me reloading SharpRom purely for a few icons.

If anyone can email those icons to me I would greatly appreciate it. Email address is c.whittaker@freeuk.com  

Thanks in advance

Sharp ROMs / thekompany rom

Hi everyone, I have installed TKCRom 2.0 alpha3 on my 5500 and I am very happy with it apart from one major problem. I installed all my programs I required with no problems reported but if I try and reboot the Zaurus it goes into a loop at bootup waiting for a device. If I then try yo reset using battery switch or reset button the system will boot but never display the startup screen, only displays the taskbar. I cannot start any programs because they appear to hang. My only option is to reflash and restore from backup ( incidently I cannot backup within Zaurus as system claims not enough free memory so backup made to PC). I have now reflashed 3 times due to installing programs that cause problems. Does anyone know of the reason or a cure? I thought it may be because of Opera 7 so I may try reflashing and only installing selected programs.
