Heya all. I\'m not sure what the (unwritten or written) rules are for making such a request but I desire this applet to be converted to regular sharp rom format:

The applet is a Bluetooth Manager written for OpenZaurus, I do a stuff with bluetooth and could make use of such a good applet for the Sharp ROM if anyone knows how to convert it to Sharp ROM, or at least Sharp ROM with libopie installed (which I have. I tried to install the OZ BM ipk to my Z but it wasn\'t recognised by the package manager).

Thanks

use ar to extract the contents of the ipk, then use tar and gzip it back up, rename to ipk.

Where is this AR tool? It\'s not installed on my Z C760 With Sharp ROM

Give me a shout when you\'ve downloaded it.

Got it, did you modify it for me?

Yes, though I don\'t know whether it\'ll work or not. If the worst comes to the worst you can use tar -zxvf filename.ipk to extract the contents and try packaging it yourself.
