About the installation process...
This is important!
This ROM will erase ALL of your personal data and ALL of the Sharp ROM.
Make sure you have whatever backup you need to ensure correct recovery - this is your responsibility.. suggest that you have a copy of the Sharp 1.11JP ROM install, a NAND flash image of the current ROM state and a user backup... assuming that you are on Sharp 1.11JP ROM then you should be able to completely recover by..
i. NAND flash restore.
ii. Sharp Upgrade.
iii. Device zero process (option 3, then 1 from the OK menu).
iv. Restore user backup.
Actually I don't do anything with the flash sizes on this release so the NAND flash is probably not needed but advised for completeness. The Sharp Upgrade should restore as closely as possible the basic shipped state.
Install the ROM as usual using a CF or SD card using the OK menu during startup, if you don't know how to do that then you shouldn't be using this pre-release.
As soon as the install has completed re-enter the OK menu and select option 3, then 1. This will erase the user portion of the flash and hdd and extract the rest of the ROM. This will be encorporated into the user install process later.
Known issues/omissions from the Cacko ROM.
voice recorder (where did that go??) - not included in the Sharp ROM
Opera - May add it in, don't like it but it's a finicky install on the 3000. may add it for ease of use by the user.
Wireless Monitor - May be dependent on Wireless extensions that we don't have.
KEYSWITCHER script into inittab ! ? - This IS an alpha ROM. KeyHelper/Cyrillic Input works whilst in Qtopia.
Memory Monitor applet.. swapfile bits. - Haven't got round to this yet.
Battery/CPU Frequency Application - Probably wait until Anton has his 3000, don't like overclocking anyway.
Notes
* For USB storage to work your device must be partitioned and the automounter will use /dev/sda1. Many USB pen drives do NOT come pre-partitioned. Simply create a partition table with fdisk and format these devices and everything should be fine. I've done some testing and partitioning a pen drive like this retains Windows compatibility.
** Japanese support has been removed, this includes the CRIM, translator and dictionary applications and libraries. At this stage we are working on the best way of creating a non-japanese ROM but could add those bits back in easily later with the new build structure. There's a good reason to remove them and that is the SL-C3000 Sharp ROM hooks the libCRL and other translation libraries at various points - without the libraries installed the unit functions perfectly whilst set to an EN locale. With the libraries installed and set to EN then several mojibake artifacts remain (squares replacing characters in entire text blocks - notably WLAN config, Tab Settings, File Finder - some of these disappear if you preload the addressbook, some don't). So for now, for non JP use I have removed them. I anticipate that we will modify the script that generates the ROM later to skip their removal and simply revert the unit back to Japanese.
