New Hentges Rom Release Candidate

[jbbrs]

A small problem - when you choose the "storage" usb mode, you should also be able to specify which device will be exposed - SD, CF or /home

The updater.sh you have for the akita is not the last one I edited, I am attaching here the "fixed" one, that shows the "progress bar" for the initrd as it should be, instead of the debug data.

Applied, thanks!

Looks like the 0% -> 100% width is hard-coded for a normal sized OZ initrd.bin so it could use some hacking

I really do need to get my oe build machine back up and working... Also, the zImage part isn't doing the progress bar, I have to fix that too.

And I do need to start working on porting the rt2570 usb driver to oe, a 802.11g usb stick that works with my akita would be cool...

Coredump - thanks for newbie-slapping, it's always obvious when someone else points it out  

I eventually gave up on this ROM because i "played about" with it by reflashing, installing stuff, reflashing etc.

I couldnt get irk to install properly.
It appears in the update list but ipkg says it cant find it.
I tried installing locally from CF and that "installs", but no keyboard options appear.

Justreader (my most used app)  failed, then it worked fine, then it failed again.

Opiereader is just nasty - is there no way to jump to a specific page in an ebook?

Other than these niggles, the rest of it seems fine, if not damn fine!!!
I'll try it again when it's officially released.

Just tried to flash to the Hentges Rom. It seemed to flash ok but then i'm just left with a window half on the screen half off which apears to be in german. Nothing seems to do anything.

What did I do wrong...

Cheers,

Ben

Have a look at this thread, it solved all my problems

The "window half on the screen" could be the medium mount dialog. Did you erase your old HOME directory before installing?

[fluffybob]

Thanks for the responce mickey. I didn't delete the home directory before flashing and I did suspect that the window I can partially see was the mount window. Don't know why it's in german though and i cant get rid of it.

What should i delete before reflashing again? I don't need anything kept on the C1000, I just want a nice clean install.

Ben

I removed both my sd card and my cf card and rebooted once...you get very minimal apps showing when Qtopia comes up....then I put the cards back in and rebooted again.  I think I then got a media screen but it was smaller and I could "okay" out of it.   Anyway,  you could try that - shouldn't hurt.

Maybe you installed the German version by mistake?

Hope this helps.

I had some difficulty with Justreader installation also.  I think I finally found a version in the Opie feed and installed it right from within the Zaurus package utility.  But as I recall, it still had some problems but they disappeared when I rebooted or something....I know this is not much help, but just wanted to tell you that JustReader is MY favorite app also and I got it working on the Hentges latest ROM and am using it.

Irk I haven't had the nerve to EVER try to install on any Open Zaurus so I can't help you there.

Cheers tombraider!

Everything works now, it switched to english when i booted without CF or SD cards inserted and stuck to english from then on.

Opie apps use some settings $HOME/Settings/*.conf - if you don't remove your old configuration files, then you won't get our default settings - which are necessary for large icons, large fonts, sane theme, etc.

FWIW, Hentges allows to wipe /home/root/Settings during the first boot on Akita.
Other PDAs should not experience problems with old settings (I hope)

Hi all.

Finally making some progress with my C1000. Currently i'm desperate to get a vnc server installed. I've tried installing fbvncserver from oz feed\console but it says it needs fbvncserver-kmodule, libvncserver-storepasswd, libvncserver-javaapplet which I can't find in the feed.

I'm also having problems with prboom. It runs rotated and is not fullscreen but more importantly I don't seem able to do anything other than go up and down through the initial menu. Can't select to start a new game or even quit. I imagine this is just a config or keys problem but I cant find any information on where the keymap file is for prboom or where i can change a startup script to try it at a higher resolution.

Any pointers for either problem would be great!

Cheers,

Ben

prboom -width 640 -height 480

Hitting the touchscreen = enter

Then configure the keys in prboom to your preferences.

Might be an idea to ship prboom with device-specific config files.
