New 7x0 Qtopia Rom from Sash

[tamarian]

The new ROM looks great. I used 30 megs, no problems. And it\'s a lot faster. GPRS CF  installed fine. This is the first time I tried Opera, since it was always slow compared to Netfront. But Opera 7 is looking good.

Well done Cacko team!  You are the best!

Now, who is Daniela?

Be careful with this crappy kernel of sashz:

A) FastFPE - Blows your precision...it may be suitible for people who do not do scientific calucaltions.  Watch out for any calculations for Handcom Sheet.  

 Nothing wrong with preemptive patch.  There are no compatibility problems.  Sash is too lazy to \"make modules\" and install them on his ROM.

C) Watch out for his so called \"LCD buffering\".  Its what is causing the \"ghosting\" to appear.  It would be a shame if your LCD screen gets permanently damaged.

This is the second kernel/ROM by sash and friends that has been placed out in a renegade fashion.  He does no testing nor looks at consequences.  Use this at your own risk.     

It\'s posts like this that make me wonder whether or not we should allow guests to post... it\'s not that hard to log into the site... and with the recent bug fixes (on the site/server), it seems that we\'ve had less \"oops I was guest\".

Everyone is entitled to their opinions.. but \"Sash is lazy\"?  Come on!  It seems like Cacko is releasing a new rom ever month... I\'ve seen 2 in the past month from them alone.

OK, guys, everyone - go ahead and get the real new ROM.

Sorry about that mess. Don\'t know how that happened

Is this compatible enough with the prior sash ROM that I could flash the new ROM and then recover from my backup?
I\'ve done tons of manual \"tweaking\" on applications that I\'d like to avoid if possible.

I have a C860.  A few questions about the new ROM please:

1)  Can I use the new ROM on the C860 and still retain the fact that the Zaurus is recognized as a disk drive when connected by USB to my PC?

2)  I backed up the stock Sharp/Dynamism ROM that came on my C860.  I assume I can always go back to it if I have problems with the new ROM.  What would I set the flash partition size to in order to return to the Sharp/Dynamism ROM?  Are any instructions available regarding how to go back to the stock ROM.

3)  Am I correct that the new ROM has wireless support in the kernel so that apps like Wellenreiter should work OK?

Thanks.

1. Haven\'t installed this version (dl\'ing as we speak) but in prior version, yes.
2. Search on NAND - you can\'t restore a regular backup, but can revert to NAND backup which is bit by bit copy so partitioning shouldn\'t be a factor
3. Yes it has wireless - don\'t know about Wellenreiter.
