Sharp ROMs / Decent Pdf Viewer For Cacko

« on: June 21, 2006, 02:09:32 pm »

Hi

I tried to install the

qpdf2_render-freetype-2.3.0-070505a-1_arm.ipk

from the Cacko ROM Feed.

It seems to install without errors from the command

Code: [Select]

su
ipkg install qpdf2_render-freetype-2.3.0-070505a-1_arm.ipk
The icon appears, but when you click on it, the hour glass appears for a few moments and then nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Who Could Develop Pdaxrom If It Were Open?

« on: June 20, 2006, 11:43:35 am »

Hey all, never done a poll before, so hopefully this works.

This is just a me being curious thing. I actually wonder how many of you out there have the skills necessary to work on pdaXrom and how many of you would want to if you could. The more people that are interested, the more evidence we can show that people really want to get involved.

I've set this up solely as a poll, if you want to discuss this further, please PM me.

Hi

How do I add more fonts? Would be cool to use more standard fonts in the abiword documents.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gpe Address Book Information

« on: June 18, 2006, 03:23:43 pm »

Hi there

I have all my address info in a spreadsheet. I'd like to import it into the GPE Address book. I'd also like to be able to export any changes out again.

Is that possible?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Best Source Of Gpe Apps?

« on: June 17, 2006, 05:13:00 pm »

Hi Guys,

Am really starting to love OZ/GPE thanks to the current RC of the Hentges Rom.

Is there a good place to look for GPE apps and their descriptions and whether they'll run on this Rom?

Thanks

Archos forum / Will There Be A New Pma?

« on: June 15, 2006, 01:34:36 pm »

Hi,

With the appearance of the UMPCs, which if you think about it are very like souped up PMAs without the cool media bits, does anyone know about a new PMA likely to hit the market any time soon?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Open Office On Oz/gpe?

« on: May 30, 2006, 05:07:38 am »

Hi There

I'm liking OZ/GPE on my C1000, it seems very clean. I know GPE is X11 based.

Does that mean it's possible to compile OpenOffice to run on OZ/GPE?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Vs Oz & Gpe

« on: May 29, 2006, 04:41:54 pm »

Hi All

What's the main benefit of pdaXrom vs OZ/GPE?

They are both X11 based, as I understand it, both seem clean and quick.

Which, if any, is better and why?

I know this is all perception, but I'm curious what the perception is.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Openzaurus Install On C1000

« on: May 24, 2006, 07:38:41 am »

Hi

Is it possible to install the latest RC of OpenZaurus on to the C1000?

I saw a directory for the Akita, but files there don't seem to relate to the instructions in the install notes. Sorry if this is obvious to you all, but the notes on how to install the C1000 seem a little out of date or incomplete for the C1000.

I have no idea what file is the equivalent of initrd.bin this isn't covered at all by the notes.
There is also a mention about the flash partitioning, but if you don't know what the original flash sizes were (or how to change them back) that warning is just not helpful.

If anyone could help me and/or update the install notes, that'd be great.

Thanks

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Who Are Our Developers?

« on: March 29, 2006, 04:59:33 am »

Hi All

I'm curious, who are the developers for pdaXrom? I'm aware that Laze and Sashz are the primary developers and contributors to the project and based on the latest beta I think we can all agree they're doing a great job.

Are there any other people who're involved in the development, be it the website, code checking, code development, testing etc? If other people are actively involved, it'd be nice to know so we can sing their praises also.

Can other people get involved under the supervision of Laze and Sashz? Perhaps to relieve the burden so they aren't the sole people doing everything, if indeed they are.

The reason why I ask is that this seems a huge feat for just two people and obviously people have lives and things crop up and so on. Delegation is a good thing, as long as there is good management.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Fat32 A Read Only File System?

« on: March 16, 2006, 04:15:49 am »

Hi,

I just put my fat32 SD card into my Z which is a C1000, using 1.1.0 Beta 2. I went into the terminal and tried to mkdir and was told that the filesystem was read only.

Does that mean I can't use a fat32 SD?

General Discussion / Figlabs Conversion Vs Others

« on: February 03, 2006, 06:03:54 am »

Hey there

I've a C1000 that I bought via shirtpocket. The conversion is fine.

However, just having read the figlabs site after having downloaded their excellent zudoku game, their conversion sounds much better.

Has anyone got a C1000 conversion from figlabs, can the comment?

My biggest annoyance with my C1000 are the fonts in Hancom Word, they always default to this nasty font and even if you save the file with a different font, the fonts revert to the nasty one on reopening. I'm not entirely sure if that's the conversion, but my 5500 never did that.

There are other little annoyance, but I'm genuinely interested in people's experiences and recommendations

Zaurus - pdaXrom / W I N E

« on: January 28, 2006, 03:46:00 pm »

Hi everyone,

Little random thought pottered through my brain and my Linux knowledge isn't enough to answer it.

Hypothetically...

Could Wine be installed onto pdaXrom?

If so, could MS Office or even the windows version of Open Office be installed and run using Wine?
