Qtopia Rom 2.1.1
« Reply #60 on: May 12, 2005, 12:17:39 am »
Well,
I thought I'd try using this ROM for real - thought maybe by moving files to SD and making links (as LPotter suggested), I could overcome the limited memory of my 5000d even without the better 32-0 kernel.

So I started trying to install my old favorites, like Qtopia AdvancedFM,  batteryapplet (the one that lets you create and activate a swap file), etc.
But noting seems to really install.  The package manager seems to indicate they install without error, but there is never a desktop link, whether I install to "internal memory" or to SD.  I'd use the file browser to check if the files are there, but am rather stuck as I can't install one.  (and I'm a linux newbie).  I could hunt something down with the terminal, but since I don't know exactly where I want to look, this would take a lot of time going through each directory with ls.

I think the files must really have installed as when I tried installing AdvancedFM to internal memory, I got an "extremely limited memory" message immediately afterwards.  That probrably means I'm just missing some symlinks somewhere if I'm understanding things correctly.

LPotter,
If having a newbie trying out the ROM is helpful enough to you to warrent your taking the time to help with silly stuff like this, I'll keep testing.  Otherwise, I suppose it may be best for me to wait for the final version with the 32-0 kernel.

Just tried Qtopia ROM 2.1.1 beta on my 5500. Unfortunately, after flashing, it would not turn on again. I followed the instruction, even tried flashing it again, still can not turn on.  
I don't have a CF card reader, I'll have to find one before I can put any other ROM back. Just wondering if anyone's having similar experience? What should I do now?

Did press the reset button after flashing, and remove the cf before attempting restart?

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!

How does one sync to the Mac desktop using this ROM?

I saw a new Qtopia Desktop for download on the site for OS X, I'd think it would be able to sync over IP with the Zaurus.

lpotter I've got two requests if there is further work on the 5500 version.

A 64-0 kernel for the 5500 and the newest hostap?

I've got one of those Sandisk ConnectPlus 128mb+WIFI cards that I posted the deal on last week or so and I'd like to see it work under the Qtopia 2.1 rom, Right now I think it only works with OZ 3.5.3

does anyone know where the ipk's are for the pim?  I like the pim but not being able to use a spreadsheet program really limits this rom's use for me.

Did you check the little clips that hold the battery in. If one of them is in the unlock position the z6000 will not start , don't know about 5500

*bump*

is this new TT rom going anywhere, or was it just a way of trying to stimulate interest in getting away from qtopia1.5.4 (sharp proprietary)?

BTW, which version of qt-e does it use?

I asked Anton Mas about this, and because Sharp use old libraries for their apps, and an old version of qtopia, it's far from non-trivial to make a Cacko ROM which used latest libraries, if not impossible, which wouldn't break all the Sharp applications.

Maybe a hybrid would be possible... or even using "chroot" to put the Sharp apps into a "cage" to make them work.

Sigh. If only Sharp actually licensed their s/w opensource, things would be so much better.

Qtopia 2.1.1 is compatible with applications for Sharp roms.

If you are talking about the applications that come with the Sharp roms, a 'compat' library could be made to supply those symbols that Sharp has created.
