Cacko Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 is available!

[Dan000892]

One slightly annoying thing I\'ve noticed with Cacko 1.21 is that the orange charge light only stays on for about a minute when the power supply is plugged in. The applet monitor shows that the unit is charging ok, and if I pull the power lead out and plug it back in, the light comes back on, but only for a minute or so.

I too am experiencing this problem. I\'m using a C750 with Cacko 1.21A with the large capacity battery and I am unable to charge it for more than a minute unless I completely power it down.

Apparently after that minute it thinks it\'s charged, so it stops charging the battery, but once AC power is removed it knows that it\'s only got the % it had before charging (or perhaps 1% more).

Anyone have a fix (other than completely powering down the system to charge it)?

I have a C760, and I just plugged it into the adaptor whilst turned on, my orange light has been on for at least 3 minutes now.  As I speak, it just went 5 minutes elapsed on orange light (because the fish screen saver just kicked in!)

Note that I am using the power supply from my SL5000, not the 110V one I received with the default packaging.

I am a new user of the SL-C860 who is experiencing problems when opening large pdf or word documents, since using the Cacko Rom 121 w/hotfix A. When opening the documents in HancomWord and PDF the hourglass appears then after 20 secs disappears. The same documents could be successfully opened when i had I used the original Sharp Rom.

Is it a memory problem?  

Thanks in advance.

2. When setting the PC Link to USB Storage, when I plug it in the network interfaces come up (as if it was set to USB Storage)
On my desktop I\'m running Gentoo Linux, I tried with kernel 2.6.5-mm and 2.6.6-mm-rc2. Any ideas?

Did you try on another PC?

I\'ve tried it with several PC\'s, both Linux and Windows. Same thing, I have PC Link set to USB Storage and I get a TCP/IP link.

Has anyone noticed that sometimes the clock changes to funny japanese charchters? with the 1.2.1 ROM? the only way to fix it is to reboot.

The only other idea I have is to make a backup of your data, then perform a clean ROM flash without restoring your backup first. If it works, then restore your backup and try again. If it fails then there is something you\'ve done in the configuration that breaks USB storage funcitonality...

What size is the document you\'re tying to open?

Interesting - I\'m also using an adaptor from 5500 and don\'t have any issues charging...

I finally got a stable BT! Dunno why, but if I set the clock to \"PXA250\", it works! Now, I can get a very stable BT connection with my PC and mobile phone

Nice catch!  That should be usefull tip to anyone expiriencing \"strange\" problems with their Zs: Turn off overclocking (set CPU speed to default)

The point is: I\'m using C760 and the defualt should be PXA255, not PXA250.  But I have to force to PXA250 or sometimes Power Saving mode to get stable BT  :wink:

Dunno if this is my BT problem (old version Nokia card).  But I have not experienced (or not noticed??) same problem in previous rom.

I see. This is usefull anyway. Don\'t know for sure what exactly may be the problem... If you have time, you may want to try previouse ROM versions and see if problems exists.

On closer inspection it\'s not really japanese charchters , it\'s just corrupted fonts and the problem appears to happen when exiting an old (none High res.) potrait style app and switching back to landscape mode - the battery info is also unreadable - sometimes the whole system will crash as well (something about modules.conf being more recent than something else, it flashes past rather quickly) - any ideas?

I don\'t recommend using that mode at all (if possible) - its implementation in Qtopia is buggy...

Do you mean not using Portrait only applications or swiveling the screen around and letting Qtopia change the current onscreen app to portrait mode - I.e with Hancom Word or something. (I have not had a problem with any of the apps on your ROM with this functionality only other apps I have installed.).
