Astro Slide - Android / Re: Astro update to V07

« Last post by Dom (shymega) on January 30, 2025, 04:07:59 pm »

Mobile data shouldn't - in theory - affect it. There was an outage recently, but no official word from Planet. It was reported on the `shymega/planet-devices` GitHub repo, and I wasn't aware until then.

Are you using corporate WiFi - or is this personally managed?

Found the problem: Planet Update works (for me) only with mobile data, not with Wi-Fi!

How are you liking it? I see on Ebay someone is selling them. I guess they bought them from the factory when Plant Computer did not pay for them. they are asking $200 + $600 for shipping so $800 for it but since not many have not been delivered I do not think it will have a good support community.

Zaurus - Void Linux support / Re: Audio doesn't work (crashes)

I am not sure the about the 4.19.0_1 kernel, but audio worked fine in 4.14.x I believe.

You can try the latest kernel 5.4.221_1:

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/85ecb614101fe05b8141c0e4975be2d58e13642d
https://github.com/greguu/voidz-packages/releases/download/build-008/zaurus-5.4.221_1.tar.gz

You could also try the test rootfs with Netsurf, I believe it uses the 5.0.0 kernel, but there is no package feed for this rootfs.

Has anyone captured the v07b update download? The update server seems to have disappeared.

One workaround could be to exit fullscreen mode while the video plays in the background or use the "mini player" option if it’s available. This lets you scroll through comments while the video keeps running in a smaller window. If neither option works, it might be worth checking for any settings in the firmware or app updates that address this issue.

If you’re working on converting or editing thumbnails or images for your videos, this tool might come in handy: https://www.movavi.com/image-converter/dpx-converter.html. Hope this helps!

Zaurus - Void Linux support / Audio doesn't work (crashes)

« Last post by glu on January 07, 2025, 05:43:16 am »

Hi, I'm using voidz with 4.19.0_1 kernel - the issue I am having is that as soon as I play something (aplay or mpg123) the system crashes. It is the same error message as described in https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/d803b938-3212-6485-8786-43dff6e46e6a@zonque.org/T/

Did anyone else manage to get audio working on voidz with above kernel, or are there alternative (newer? older?) kernels that work?

Thanks

I have addressed the issues in the README. I suspect people are downloading HTML as a 'zip'.

You are right, my browser give a me a .zip html file.
Redownloaded the right file and updated, thank you Dom!

Hi!
Do you happen to have a copy of the v25 or the correct link?
, HERE https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Rooted_Android_For_Cosmo I can only get a zip w/ two files.
Thanks
