latest X11/pdaX ROM!?!?

[DeathLog_]

It\'s alive!!!! It\'s alive!!!!!
I used the recover.zip mentioned in http://externe.net/zaurus/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96

You need to download the zip for the sl-c700  (you need to select the one for your specific machine) from http://pocketworkstation.org/files/recover/

follow the steps in the readme.txt and you can unbrick your unit!!!

voila!!!! my sl-c700 is back in business!!!  

Thanks to all for your support!

I don\'t have the brick problem now,
but I still have the problem with the installation of the new pdaXrom
I just installed the cacko rom before this new pdaxrom and is working fine (I fixed the calibration problem of course). but I want to have the last version..

any ideas? :roll:

hi guys,

I had flashed to the pdaX rom... but i am facing some problems here and pardon me for asking stupid questions...

(1) there is no internet browser in the pdaX rom, so how do i install or get any internet browser??
(2) me SD card is not recognised by the Z, any way i can go about this problem??
(3) after i installed the pdaX rom, i cant do normal syncing with the desktop thru the USB. so anyone can help on that??
(4) i dun haf a wireless network, so i think the only to get packages into my Z is thru USB syncing, and now i cant get it to sync with my desktop, so i am stuck with a very capable rom but without any programmes in it. can anyone help??

TIA.

choonhow.

Using the Search feature or reading the this entire thread could answer your questions.

But in the defense of newbies (of which I count myself), pdaXrom might want add a readme.txt with the ROM. Also they might want put a note on the download ROM page to check the FAQ section for details on how to use the ROM.

Anyway choonhow, you need to download the SD-module and browser from the feed onto your desktop then you should be able to connect to your Z via ftp and copy the ipks over to install. (I think you have to have created a password for root for ftp to work)

Code: [Select]

passwd root whateverpasswordyouwant

ah, excellent, thats what I needed.

Hmmm.  btw: the 22-DEc is just my lame way to try to put the last time I verified a link
into the system without it being hidden (white on white?) etc.  Unfortunately, opera
seems to be cranky about user:pass in urls... I\'ll probably move to white on white.
Anyway, the user:pass certainly isn\'t needed on any of the urls from zaurus.spy.org
and certainly not for access to any dirs under that top level, etc.

Socket CF+ LP WLAN Card Rev A 1.00
BUFFALO WLI2-CF-S11

It didn\'t work for my BUFFALO WLI2-CF-S11.

Is there anything required after installing the ipk?

ah, but when I do this (9 times out of 10?) the icon start flashing like I\'m constantly
clicking... it\'s like it\'s \"jammed on\" ...

I kind of liked the icons of rox... on the desktop... vs the same looking icons of matchbox.
but perhaps that\'s just a setting/config somewhere.

restart your Z or by hands:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

Does anyone know if the C700 calibration problem is ok on this new rom\'s kernel?  The overclocked kernel in the last release blew up the touchscreen driver on the C700.    If the new release\'s kernel does not account for this, can we use sushoki\'s kernel again for this release?

Thanks!

I\'m not sure if this has been asked, but is the cacko team still going to develop the x11 rom?  While the pdaXrom is very nice it just doesn\'t have the same xwindows feel that the x11 rom does.  It feels more like an alternative to QT, like OZ is.

I really didn\'t keep pdaxrom installed long enough to give it an honest evaluation though.  I\'m a socket wifi card user and the patch crashed on me whenever I tried to install the ipk.  Not sure why...  I\'ll try it again on the next release.

I talked to sashz and he says no, Cacko are dropping support for non-pdaX ROM\'s altogether. He also said that they will move all the current X11 ROM apps to the pdaX ROM.

If you have a bug problem please come to #cacko on irc.freenode.net

Cool, thanks for the info Fox
