Qtopia Rom 2.1.1
« on: April 04, 2005, 04:58:09 pm »
Just tried this on an SL-5500.

1. Looks gorgeous.

2. No IRDA (known issue) fixed soon I hope?

3. Does not sync with Qtopia Desktop 1.7.0 because of version compatibility.

4. Cannot generate British pound sign using Fn Shift-4.

Hope they fix these issues because I would love to have a stable OS that syncs with Linux.

can't you fix irda by loading kernel modules?

I plan to try it on my 6k in a few minutes.  from what i see on the forums re things 2.1 isn't doing, i kinda suspect the kernel should be swapped out. i'll give that a shot too.

Initial impression - good - looks very neat and tidy - and I like the bobbing icon when an app is started (instead of the flash in the older versions).

Cant suspend the thing.

I like the 'cancel suspend when online' power management feature. Thats required.

The apps are the same - thje documents tab is the old version again - I think the one we had on the latest Sharp ROM was and is much better.

The notes app doesnt have the feature of the Note taking app on the Sharp rom - text files as well as notes integrated together.

Got to ry the apps individually now...
Oh yes, the full screen handwriting is nice - but the pencil seems so think  - couldnt it be a thinner line (maybe its configurable ?)

There's a 32mb ramdisk mounted on /mnt/ram

Oh, I got opera to install from the zug feed,

Had to edit /etc/ipkg.conf by hand and add the feed, I also had to modify the destinations as they had /mnt/dest for the destination name instead of just dest

ipkg-link worked as expected and when I restarted qpe I had opera in my tab

I linked opera in /usr/share and its working fine (7.30)

There appear to be some additional packages at http://qtopia.net/packages/SHARP/

The feed doesnt work that they have in the Software app and I cant make the above url work as a feed, it complains about:

Downloading http://qtopia.net/packages/SHARP//(null)
sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 2: `wget --passive-ftp    -q -P /tmp/ipkg-m4S69y http://qtopia.net/packages/SHARP//(null)'
Failed to download screenshotapplet. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?

Not sure what that's all about.

Been waiting for this too!

I'm really keen to try out 2.1.1, but the "no internal WiFi" bug on the 6000 is too big for me to overlook. I just can't have a Z that doesn't connect wirelessly. When this is sorted out I'll flash over right away.

adf's kernel tweaks sound cool as well.

Is this due to the 'cancel suspend when online' setting mentioned by nilch?

I haven't got time now to reflash and find out.

I downloaded the new Qtopia Desktop on my Mac and it's Great!

I dont see the UI problems that 1.7 had and I was able to sync with the new rom once I adjusted the security settings.

How I wish there was a 64/0 image with home on SD right now!

Have you had any luck getting the Z to suspend with this ROM?
