the ordering problem is solved with 'addressbook.so' taken from a 6000 rom

Assuming [a href=\"http://bryandeluca.com/cacko/feed/addressbook_1.22-lite-1_arm.ipk]this[/url] came from the 6k (are there any docs available for cacko packages?) that doesn't work for me.  Do you need quicklaunch from a 6k too?  Is the whole 6k ROM available anywhere?

The left over Japanese you are seeing comes from the AddressBook.conf file in /home/zaurus/Settings/

You have 2 options

1) Edit yourself
2) Copy the English version (attached below) into /home/Zaurus/Settings/

Are you using that with the Japanese addressbook?  [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11399&view=findpost&p=73716]I can't see how that would work, and for me, it doesn't[/url].

Hi,

One of the FAQ pages on the Shirtpocket website seems to get the solutions:

http://www.shirtpocket.co.uk/spforum/index.php?showtopic=41

I haven't tried that yet and have no idea where their files are from (own customized?).  Anyone has ever tried out that solution?

Certainly am. Not sure what your doing wrong but here are some screen shots of my addressbook in Japanese mode and English Mode

Just to prove I'm using the Japanese addressbook

Here we go with Japanese Entries

Now copy AddressBook.txt to /home/zaurus/Settings/AddressBook.conf
 [ Invalid Attachment ]  Voila, English Entries

If it didn't work for you, then maybe you have fast load running on the addressbook, if so then turn it off or reboot the zaurus to see the changes

OK don't know if I did someting wrong or if my C3000 that I purchased used (1 month old) has a different address book on it. It is named address book but when you open it up it says contacts, here is a screen grab of my "addressbook" and the icon for it.

Do I have a differentt program and not the "address book"?

It looks the same on mine, it just doesn't actually work. See my linked post for details.  Thanks.

If it looks the same, ie the Japanese text is changed to English then it DID work.

Otherwise I don't understand what your problem is. When I change the text in AddressBook.conf from Japanese to English the entries changes from Japanese to English too. I can't see Sharp changing the app so that it works on the Cxx0 and not on the C3k.

Sorry, Stu, I should have been more clear.  The post I was refering to was [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11399&view=findpost&p=73716]this[/url]:

As far as I can tell, ~/Settings/AddressBook.conf just gives the order of fields in the picker and which are currently selected, so changing the text there wouldn't change the labels.  However, it does seem to be recommended as a way of changing them (ref 1 ref 2).  I tried it, but found that it just creates new fields which don't show up in the record view page and aren't saved, so maybe it's just a way of changing the leftover Japanese names if addressbook.so from a sl-6000 is used (but then why not just delete the config file?).

BTW, I'm not actually using a 3k (see sig), I just hijacked this thread.  

Thanks.

Could someone please post a version of addressbook.so that corrects the English tabs problem on the SL-C3000? I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Ahh, okay. I think I understand now.

I think your problem is that you have to change both the [ImportantCategory] and the [InputItem] sections with the text you want changed (actually you maybe able to just change the [InputItem] but I've never tried that) just changing the [ImportantCategory] entry doesn't work.

Here is another screen shot - I changed "Middle Name" to "Happy Frogs"
 [ Invalid Attachment ]

But it doesn't display as a column name or on the main record view as you mentioned. I think the entries on the Main view may be hard coded and aren't affected by AddressBook.conf (they appear to be the same fields that are in the column view list)

I recommend moving to KA/PI (and alos KO/PI) it has a lot more configurability.

Thanks, [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11399&view=findpost&p=75081]that's better than the cacko/shirtpocket version[/url].

'fraid not -- I tried it using your file.

But it doesn't display as a column name or on the main record view as you mentioned. I think the entries on the Main view may be hard coded and aren't affected by AddressBook.conf (they appear to be the same fields that are in the column view list)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=74764\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The name doesn't display, or the value?  [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11399&view=findpost&p=73716]The names are hard-coded in the binary[/url].  If you can't see the value, then you can see how it doesn't actually work.  In your images there are no values.  If you display a populated record can you see the values?  What about the Company and Department fields for example?  You can see in your image that they are duplicated.  Does it actually work to populate them?

I recommend moving to KA/PI (and alos KO/PI) it has a lot more configurability.

I'm planning on moving to Japan, so I'm expecting that the procunciation fields will be useful. (Of course, in that case, I should just learn the kanji field names   )  Do you still use the Sharp or cacko addressbook, or have you switched to kapi?

Thanks.

[gojira]

Anybody know if this is the addressbook or something else?

Huh?  Oh, I see, you quoted (in full, without previewing) the wrong post -- you might want to go back and edit that.  To answer your question, as you can see from Stu's images it doesn't look anything like the Sharp addressbook, so I'd guess it's something else...  What's the executable called?  Where'd you buy it from?  What does the help button say?  Is there an about menu?
