Cacko Rom 1.23 For C1000 Progress

[Smuffle]

Do I have to reflash to the Sharp ROM soley to get a copy of the original dictionary and libraries? (they're not on the CD from what I can fathom).

The dictionary files on the C3x00 are encrypted - you will need certain libraries from the original ROM to use them (if I remember correctly, libzsecure and libeb). The ztenv C3000 ipk simply installs a script that preloads these libraries before starting ztenv. You can confirm which libraries you need by reading that script.

Hey, Gifu! I used to live in Gifu city.. small world.

I've already installed the Zten - can I just copy the libraries you said into the relevant directorys? or do I have to install again? Really confused..

If you look at the file that ztenv-C3000 installs (not sure of the exact filename, but it should be in /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/), you'll see that it's simply a script that makes sure to load the special libraries before starting ztenv; it looks something like:

Code: [Select]

LD_PRELOAD=/opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libzsecure.so:/opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libeb.so ztenvYou could actually use that command directly from a command prompt, without the need for the ztenv-c3000 ipkg... the ipkg just makes it easier.

To use the script, you simply need to copy the necessary libraries to their proper location. The libraries are located in /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/. Of course, if you're going to go through all the trouble of getting the library files, you might as well copy zdict over (unless you prefer ztenv).

Hope that helps.

Japanese support seems to work fine with the new 1.23 - suprisingly easy, but you do lose the lurvly smooth helvetica font.

I have a feeling I've lost use of the great C3100 dictionary.. I've tried everything to make it work, also played with Zten but no joy (I tried what I think is the patch (ztenv-c3000_001_none.ipk) but it appears to be "empty" when I try to install - not C3100 friendly me thinks).

3:15am.  Pooped.

Hello. Sorry, I didn't think much when posting, it only came to me after that that with C3k1 the libs would be in the rom (they are on the hdd1 in C3k). Anyways, if you need the files, I can send them to you. Going to try to get this running on my own too now.

I tried doing this, zdict complained about libsl and libzlib not being there too, I put them, and then it complains 'Unable to get graphics content';'Can't make QGfx for null pixmap' - I needed to copy zten/zdict picture directories under /opt/QtPalmtop/pics and pics144. However, now when I run it, it says 'Display size =480x640' and silently exits. Ztenv with preloaded libs (this script) doesn't complain but I cannot check if it works because I have no space on my cards for the dict files. Maybe that's why zdict exits, the dict files are not there.

BTW, this is being done on a C1k

I get the feeling I'll be spending many hours trying to make this work.. so I've given up and gone back to the Sharp ROM.  The Cacko ROM looks great (well done M) but I know what I'm like - I'll fiddle for DAYS until it's just right.  Time better used on other things.  I know my weaknesses all too well ;o)

Good luck to all who try, look forward to the success stories.

Small update, it turns out that zdict works too, I had to append an '&' on the end. Will see about finding its icon now to make a shortcut.

*edit* Ya, made a shortcut for it with the original icon, definitely works (per se). Still need to check if it works with dictionary files.

*edit #2* It works. C3k(1) built-in dicts work both with Zdict and Ztenv.
Will be posting the howto/IPK when I get some time, depends on the interest; I'm currently studying for my kanji exam and I'm rather busy.

INTEREST INTEREST INTEREST!!!!!!!!! I'm prepared to sell members of my family, if this is agreeable; one member, one IPK.

I'll second that. This is something that I'll want to add to the Jp Faq when I update it...

[drakecoldwinter]

I'm french, I cannot second the idea as kahm seconded that... so I will third it  ?
humm anyway, a FAQ to install zdict with the original dic files from the 3100 would be good, I have currently the 3100 with cacko and I would like zdict with the same files as before.

I would also like to install the memory trainer from the sharp rom, I used it a little fun to have. the Toeic english test, the golf and the other contents got erased of course, the train guide is not usefull at all, and the map are very low quality, so outside of the Zdict and the memory trainer I don't think the other original sharp tools deserve to be "rescued". Anyway, the main point, Zdict how to !

[tad]

Not sure what happened, but after going through the whole flash process, after the final reboot, I'm getting an error "sh: can't access tty:  job control turned off" and then an '#' prompt.

I've been through the flash process a few time - all with the same results.  Any thoughts on what went wrong?  This is on a c1k.

[Tomoe]

Hy gents.

Apologies for keeping you waiting.
I tried to create an IPK, I have the dir structure and control file ready on my Z; however, I cannot find a working mkipkg script, could anyone please link to one?
Everything is correct with the preipk environment, only the tar.gzing of it fails for some reason - maybe because tar on Cacko is actually BusyBox and maybe has different switches? Halp, maslovsky!

Btw, drake, what's this memory trainer app you're talking about, I don't think you get it with C1k. If it's useful, I'd be interested.

Once again, sorry for not providing you guys with an ipk, tommorow is my kanji test, after that I'll have some more time to look it up.

[drakecoldwinter]

humm... the memory trainer comes with the 3100 for sure, it's a program that has plenty of sections (most in japanese) one of the section for example is like this, it shows you 2 figures (red square with yellow corner and green square with yellow corner) it shows you the figures for 5 seconds and then it shows you like 10 different figures and you must choose the right ones, then as you progress the difficulty goes up, more figures are showed, I achieved to memorize 5 different figures that you must choose among 20 or so, anyway is fun, the other section is like it shows a serie of numbers (ex: 13,56,98) and then it ask you to repeat them, then if you succed it shows you a new number (ex: 13,56,98,22) and then it hides and you must repeat them, and so on until you fail, there is another section with kanjis (you must memorize kanjis and words) anyway, the program works always in kind of the same way, it shows you a serie of something and then you must memorize very quickly (5 to 10 seconds) and repeat it afterwards. There are also stadistics (you can make several users and compete and keep a log of it to compare the scores). You must be advanced japanese user to use it completely, I'm very very lost on some of the sections (there are several sections of the program I don't even know or understand what I must do on them... )

anyway, in 4 days I'll be back home (in Hiroshima now) and I will look the 3100 cd to post somewhere the ipk of the memory trainer.

Try to increase the root partition size to 34 or even 34 Mb and flash again.

Thanks Anton!  Turned out that I needed to reformat the CF disk and re-extract the files to it.  After that, everything worked great.  

And thanks for putting this together!  This is soooooo much better than the stock ROM!  I was able to get my network connection to work for the first time last night since buying this!  Simply glorious.

*edit #2* It works. C3k(1) built-in dicts work both with Zdict and Ztenv.

How are you gentlemen!

I made a Zdict IPK, you can find it on [a href=\"http://life.is.just.a.dre.am/zaurus/]http://life.is.just.a.dre.am/zaurus/[/url].
You're also going to need Kakasi, you can get it at the same link or on
http://www.gohome.org/zten/kakasi_2.3.4-2_arm.ipk
I think you might have to run 'sudo ipkg install zdict_obradovic_0.1_arm.ipk' manually.
Please check if it works and let me know.
