This update is just an IPK. It\'s not full ROM update. It should be installed on top of 1.21 ROM.

Nice work maslovsky! And thanks to javab0y for hints on address book sorting fix. Great to have my contacts sorted alphabetical finally!

Anyone else getting an error when trying to backup with Sharp Backup/restore app? I\'m pretty sure backup worked with 1.21 before I installed the hotfix.

I keep getting a device full error, even though I\'ve got 13 gigs free on my PC. In looking at the Sys info app, I see that there are 2 tmp storage areas, one on /dev with 44k total - only 18 k available and /dev/shm with 10meg total - 8.9meg available. I\'m wondering if the backup app is using the temp to store the file list but only sees the smaller /dev space and runs out of space.

my hat is off to maslovsky and javab0y, excellent work getting the address book to work right.  1.21 is the first qt rom to actually make the z fully functional

thanks a ton guys

Hello,

yesterday I tested the new Cacko Qtopia ROM (incl. hotfix) on my SL-C750. Everything is looking great, but two points are left:

- when I want to make a connection with my CF card modem (Billionton) a message came up: \"CF card serial device is busy\". I found (with lsmod), that the module \"serial_cs\" was started. This is not the case in the older ROM-version (which I reflashed after the testing session). Any idea to bring that modem to work?

- (a more \"silly\" item, I know) the week in \"calendar\" starts with sunday (and not monday). Any chance to configure that?

Greetings,
Frank

1.21(a) is fantastic!

Try another serial_cs module, which is available in the downloads section of this site.

Just got my C860  - wow what a machine it\'s leagues ahead of anything else I can find on the market - was considering the UX-50 - glad I didn\'t  - the screen on the is device is amazing.

Anyway - took the plunge and upgraded the rom the Cacko 1.2.1 - what a great update - you would get nothing like this from any other non- linux platform... - Thank you very much Maslovsky

Now I\'m trying to install the hotfix and I get the following msg from the GUI package installer:
\'ipkg says something went wrong. sorry.\'

now after doing some digging I tried installing from the command line by typing:
\'ipkg install cacko-qtopia-rom-hotfix_arm.ipk\'
I select \'y\' \'the following package were previoiusly requested but have not been installed - Install them now?\'
it then says:
error
filename - __.ipk
Downloading /__.ipk ...
/__.ipk:invalid host name.
ipkg_download:ERRO:Failed to retrieve /__.ipk, returning
ipkg_get_install:Perhgaps you need to run ipkg update?
I try and run \'ipkg update\'
then try and repeat the above process but to no avail.

I also have this problem with any other package - can anyone shed any light on the issue.
Oh just to add I have tried reboot several times.

A previus ipk didn\'t install properly. Install from the command line again, but select N. And/or find the status file which contains all the ipks that have been installed and delete reference to the failed ipk. I don\'t have my Z with me right now, so I can\'t point you to where it is located.

Thanks for the reply. I have not managed to install anything since I installed Cacko 1.2.1 so there is nothing installed. I did try the above but I am still unable to install anything
here is a cut and paste of what is currently happening

# ipkg status
# ipkg install cacko-qtopia-rom-hotfix_arm
ipkg_depends: ERROR: Package name cacko-qtopia-rom-hotfix_arm contains illegal characters (should be [a-zA-Z0-9.+-])
filename - __.ipk

Downloading /__.ipk ...
/__.ipk: Invalid host name.
ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve /__.ipk, returning
ipkg_get_install: Perhaps you need to run `ipkg update\'?

# ipkg status
Package: error
Status: install ok not-installed


Then I do the following:

# ipkg remove error
ipkg_remove: Package error does not appear to be installed in /
Purging mention of error from ipkg database

So then I renamed the IPK file from \'cacko-qtopia-rom-hotfix_arm.ipk\' to
\'cacko-qtopia-rom-hotfix-arm.ipk\'

then do the following:

# ipkg install cacko-qtopia-rom-hotfix-arm
filename - __.ipk
 
Downloading /__.ipk ...
/__.ipk: Invalid host name.
ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve /__.ipk, returning
ipkg_get_install: Perhaps you need to run `ipkg update\'?

I\'m stuck please help.......
