Best ROM for C860
« on: March 02, 2004, 11:57:53 am »
I have a dynamism C860 and I would like to flash a new ROM.  I don\'t care about any of the Japanese language stuff, I would prefer an all English ROM.  What works best and what would you recommend?  I want to have full WiFi + Kismet and, if possible, bluetooth support (although latter is less important).  A really good video player is also important (I encoded some pretty good wmv files that play nicely with the Sharp stock player).  Also, if I export my existing installed apps before reflashing can I then import them after the new flash to get them all back?  Please let a newbie have your advice.  Thanks.

Wait a few days and you\'ll get the best ROM - Cacko Qtopia 1.20. It\'s ready, only looking for a place to host (hopefully on this site)

It has a shirtpocket logo on the startup screen, anyone know which version this is?

The DL link i posted above was not the new qtopia rom 1.20, but appears to be a build from 24/02/04, newer than the last official release. Don\'t know what the differences are between that and the last official release,  all ive noticed is a different boot up logo...

AFAIK the new qtopia rom is ready and will be uploaded somewhere soon by sash.... we all wait with bated breath :-)

Any reason why this can\'t be added to the zug downloads.
