Pdaxrom Vs Oz & Gpe
« Reply #60 on: August 05, 2006, 03:03:11 am »
I've tried both OZ and pdaXrom and keep going back to pdaXrom on my C860, seems to meet my needs a little more. OZ was great though.

As for pdaXrom window managers, I gave wmaker a try, very slick and fast that was. Just needs a few more dockapps ported for it and it'd be greatly useable.

A lot of stuff percieved as 'missing' in pdaXrom is often available in the contrib feeds.

When my only Zaurus was a 5500 though, I stuck with Hentges' ROM. Worked great. I really suspect that if there was a version available for the C860 I'd probably be using that right now.

After trying out GPE for a bit, my impression was that it was a bit uncomplete, more like an alpha release and not very useful. But then I tried the hentges version of GPE and the difference was enormous. I also tried OPIE, but apart from being a little faster than SharpROM/Cacko, it didn't have much else to offer and the lack of useful apps (quantity does not make up for quality) was quite dissappointing in OZ in general. The GUI package manager just crashes constantly which I think is quite annoying to say the least.
