Which ROM supports Qtopia 1.7
« on: May 05, 2004, 03:48:58 pm »
Since the Sharp ROM only support Qtopia 1.5.4 SDK and there seems to be no way to upgrade these libraries to the new 1.7 SDK and still have all the existing GUI applications run, is there any ROM out there which uses Qtopia SDK 1.7 and also provides the source code for the applications running in the ROM. I am mainly interested in a ROM that has the following things:
1. Qtopia SDK 1.7 or 1.6
2. source code for the PIM applications.
3. Kernel patched with Wireless extension 13/14/15.
4. Kernel source code  for the ROM.
5. uses the sharp style ipkg installer.

Thanks

Thanks Lpotter - that\'s really good news.  Would you be willing to hint at the ETA for release?

Only big problem: lpotter was talking about OE/OZ/Familiar Qtopia 1.7 rom release since the end of 2003. He has never released anything  .

I know that he works at Trolltech but... I\'m still waiting to see something to come out. My French translation of the wall Qtopia 1.7 source code + all HTML help files are waiting on sourceforge for so long...

Now I talk directly to you lpotter. Always covering up Trolltech Qtopia information although they are already on the net (like your last boss interview with a kde addict)? Or are you just  trying to freeze the market again because TT has not much resssource to put on Qtopia? Most of use has read about TT financial difficulties. Always covering the fact that Qtopia 1.7 snapshots haven\'t evolved  since the begin of the year (although there\'s always a few \'space/tab\' added or removed + release number change into source code to generate the snapshot of the day)? Perhaps covering the fact that it doesn\'t compile correctly anymore with QTE2.3.8 snapshots since 2 months and no more change since?

The Opie guys have already suffered from this...
If we have chance, lpotter is preparing the Qtopia 2.0/QT3.3.2 introduction but I don\'t think so.

My friends, companies have no friends but only curstomers.
If Trolltech continue the same way, I will begin to understand why GNU hasn\'t chose QT/KDE as their default desktop. We don\'t need another Microsoft at the root of an environnement. Opie guys were asking why pdaXrom have had this success (at the beginning): This is because it gave them their freedom back.

Sorry boys but you are attacking my favorit area: PDA. If you continue in the same way, I will work for reveal what I understand from your strategy and the Open Source Community won\'t like.

Why does it matter?  What major improvements are missing in the 1.5.4 branch?

Curiousity.  What\'s in the latest and greatest that\'s worth breaking compatibility for?

Why a not finished software like Qtopia 1.5.4 shouldn\'t move to a new step? Why should we stay with Sharp 1.5.4 forever? Why Linux PDA can\'t move on to the mass market?

Qtopia 1.5.4 lacks a lot of improvements. Most noticable would be quicklaunch. Another is the mediaplayer uses ffmpeg instead of mpeg3.

Amrein: these things take time. The images will be rolled out with a qtopia community web site. What is the url to your tr files?

Has Sharp made custom modifications to 1.5.4?  On the 6000L, I have quicklaunch and on the fly rotation.

Sharp\'s 1.5 does not have quicklaunch, it has quickexec, which is the precursor to quicklaunch. and yes, they have their own Qtopia sources
