Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxng

Hey jp, if your Z does sell, and you get the bug, let me know.  I have an extra Z I could let go fairly cheap.  

well il depends on how i'll like my new machine  i'm still waiting for it  

What can I do to help Meanie with this release?

Send him money so he doesn't have to have a real day job!  That's a joke, but probably not far from the truth....

Cool!  Something to play with later.  Hey jp, if your Z does sell, and you get the bug, let me know.  I have an extra Z I could let go fairly cheap.      I've currently stopped playing with the Z in favor of my new iPhone.     My wife buys me the coolest toys.  She and our room mate both got the new (to ATT anyway) palm centro's.  They got them so they could use the Readerware software on them and she hasn't really used it at all yet.  Though she's using the hell out of every thing else.  Which is cool.  I've been watching the Android Zaurus page pretty closely too.  I've got the older version running on the 3100.  Pretty neat, but not real usable yet.  Have Meanie's pdax on the 3200.  I think once Android is up and running on real phones it might give the iPhone a run, but by then we should have 3rd party apps without hacking.  The iPhone and my apple tv are really the only things in the house I haven't taken apart or hacked yet!  Though the apple tv might.  Haven't decided yet.  I might throw a larger drive in it.

PocketPenguin / Is Pp Project Dead?

« on: February 13, 2008, 10:13:47 pm »

given the N810 seems to have everything we zaurus users could want, albeit not in a folding clamshell but good enough, is PP dead?

Too bad it (the nokia) has a crap ui.  That was the reason I got rid of it.

Android / Setting Background Image

Hey I just found that when on the "home" screen once the gui is loaded, hit the menu key.  It brings up a drop down menu for the background.

Okay, here's what I did. I flashed the image with the files on my local system, just to make sure it works. Since this is the case, I re-uploaded all files.
I don't have much time now, so either download and check yourself if the new uploaded files work, or be patient and wait until I double checked them.

Yea, still does the same thing.

It's because of a problem in the gnu-tar binary. Whatever I do, it just uploads a small part. I've adjusted the download link so it points to the SL-C1000 directory. This is the same binary, so it should work if you re-download gnu-tar.

I was just about to post the md5 is wrong..  

 It should be okay now, please let me know if it works for you now. Thanks in advance!

Works now!!  Thanks!  Now to figure out that rotation thing....

I get a kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.

You did choose the default option from Altboot on the first boot (boot from microdrive)?
Because, as a programmer would say about his/her program "on my machine it did work perfectly"  

I don't get the altboot menu.  Should I have installed after using a different image?  This was installed after a cacko install on a 3200.

Will they be cf compatible, or just like the microdrives in the old iPod mini??

Thanks!  It's actually been a pretty decent winter so far.  It hit -44 for a couple days, but now it's back up to the -1's.

I thought it was cold in the Chicago area this morning (low single digits).  Thanks for the reality check.  

Yea, but you have that cool thing called humidity, and lake effect snow.  Fairbanks is an arctic desert.  So it's cold, but not that crappy penetrating cold you get.  I'll be moving to Ohio next month, so I'll have to get used to the weird weather that's been happening there.  My wife is there now and said the guy that lives across the street mowed the lawn three days ago!  It snowed the next day, and now they're calling for 50's by this weekend.  Freaking strange.

Lol, niace to see you back, and Happy Holidays from the sunny south

I gave up on the nokia--right now I'm running pdaxii13v2 on my 3100 with cheap 16gb cf, and watching the buzz on the google android thread. debian +android would rock, assuming I can get everything working (which is a big assumption).

No problems with data loss here, and Wifi works fine for me (WPA worked as well the one time I tested it). I haven't tried BT.

As for FBPanel, just switch WMs to IceWM, Xfce, or EvilWM (a great choice!).

Things aren't frozen. InSearchOf apparently has the kernel work done and a lot of other stuff moving along nicely.

To contribute, find something that irritates you and fix it. Then upload your change to SVN. Or write docs, or whatever. I don't have the builder running, and I'm working on an all-in-one app to replace the GUI config tools and maybe the package manager (they're so slow!).

Interesting conversation. I'd pretty much concluded that Beta3 based stuff was the functional state of the art for the Z--I'm not really interested in running most of debian ( pr r198, or Anggstrom)and having "sort of" functionality (I listen to music and watch video on my Z, so the multimedia stuff counts)  spent some time last night thinking about putting the microdrive back in the 3100 and selling both Zs for an N810--so far I'm not convinced it is worth the trouble; I suspect I'd get the n810 and find something at least as annoying as a Z annoyance...but we'll see

The Nokia's are a joke.  I tried, to convert over.  Had a n800.  I shipped it off to Ireland today.  Trading a dude for a c3200!  Nokia is treating the n800/810 like Sharp did the Zauri right before they dropped them.  They don't really listen to the end users.  They come with cameras, but there's really no usable applications for them.  They claimed it would work with google talk, but then they pulled the software because it was too buggy.  They just released a new os for the n800, which is what the 810 comes with, then they all went on vacation.  Then the update server crapped out.  Now they're saying just wait till we get back from vacation!  If the comp-usa is still open down in Anchorage, and they are giving them away, maybe get one then.  I wouldn't waste your money though.
