Watapon ROM

[tapjpa]

I am also using the T3 stylus it fits great. When you want to use the stylus just press the top, it extends and you grab it easily. It fits just snug enough in the silo that it won't fall out on you when your carrying your Z around.

Is there a charger that allow charging from an usb connection to sl 5600 directly? I know there is one for the sl-5500 not sure abt 5600. I don't wish to bring my big & bulky original charger to & from home & office. Anyone has any idea on this?

[tapjpa]

You can use the same cable but there are 2 little "ears" you need to clip off.
The ears are used on the 5500 to hold the cable tight but the 5600 doesn't have the same config for the connector so there's no sopt for the ears to latch in.

does the stylus fit nicely into the stylus holder? I seen before stylus that can extend, if I can find that that fit nicely & securely into the holder that be great.

Thanks tapjpa for the link. Will to wait til the weekends to try it out. Real busy these few weeks.

Looking forward to version 1.6.
When will it be released? Few weeks time?

Chaos, it be great if you can package the sharp player for version 1.5.5 so that I can switch over. Thanks.

The T3 (I think it's the T3, anyway...) stylus does fit into the slot nicely.  The unfortunate sideaffect is that it kinda stretches the slot a little so the original stylus no longer clicks in place. And as I cannot remember which one it is exactly, just bring your original stylus along. It's the Tungsten stylus that is almost exactly the same size as the original.

1.6 is coming whenever zautrix gets out KDEPIM/PI 2.0. It's gonna be near-perfect long before that, though. I expect 1.5.6 to be almost 100% perfect. Just holding off on final for that 2.0 release. I'd personally rather avoid using an under-heavy-development set of apps in a non-beta release. Meh, you'll probably find 1.5.6 or 1.5.7 to be perfect though.  (Oh, yeah. Once I've gotten every bug worked out, except the KDEPIM upgrades, I'll try to make it so you just have to flash, not re-format. i.e. the /home will not change, just the stuff in the read-only part.)

I'll try to package the Sharp Media Player this weekend for 1.5.6 (also this weekend, maybe Friday at earliest).

I tried the stylus T3, it can go in but cannot come out. Need to use somethin to dig it out. Any idea?

That's the one with the telescoping end, right?? If so, try poking the telescoping end of it with your old stylus, or a small stick...

If that doesn't work, you *could* (BE VERY CAREFUL) take a *SMALL* bit of strong glue on the end of a SMALL STICK, and BARELY TOUCH it to the end of the stylus. Let it dry and CAREFULLY pull it out. You might want to wait for other's suggestions before trying this one though, as, for obvious reasons, it could be dangerous to the Zaurus.

Mine "stuck" like your describing at first. It took a "little" breaking in to work well.
A few people here have taken some real fine sand paper and and knocked down the diameter of the plastic cap a bit.
But definitley be very carefull trying to get it out, using the old stylus to get it to pop up is probely your safest bet.

[radonsg]

i went to a shop to try it out, they managed to dig it out. When I saw that, I never get the stylus already. So meaning to say I need to do something to it before I can use it?

tapjpa:
When u say "breaking", can u describe in more details?

Chaos:
U did not have the struck problem?

Meaning to say, the thing will be quite loose. Right? Cos don't have the "ears" to hold in in place.

[tapjpa]

The breaking in I was refering to was wearing the plactic cap of the stylus down a bit, probably a bit of the case plastic as well. The original stylus still fits like it should.

With out the ears the cable still fits snug. I have only had it come loss once or twice and that was my own stupidity pulling the cable tawt. Even with the ears it more than likely would have pull out.
Cutting the ears off is the solution given by the vendor for using the cable with the 5600.

Nope, my T3 stylus was 100% perfect. Worked like an absolute charm. Actually, I got a three-pack of them, and *all* of them worked perfectly. I've swapped them around a bit, as to keep a nice semi-fresh stylus all the time.  I'm a bit obsessive that way.



Anyway, I suppose we should get back on the topic of the ROM itself sometime here.  Once all the immediate problems with stylii and cables have been sorted out, anyway.

[radonsg]

yeh. I don't know when will I sort out my stylus problem. Nevertheless, I will have to wait til this friday evening or weekend before able to test out the 1.5.6. Real busy with work, reached home everyday 10+pm. No time to try it out.

[Chaos]

Nice, just built an initrd.bin, and it's got about 200 KB to spare.  Still holding off on 1.5.6 until the weekend though, as to just check it over...

Nice amount of bumper-zone space (that 200KB), unless anyone has any 200KB large bright ideas?

[tapjpa]

Did you ever put together mplayer in the ROM or build an IPK for it?

[Chaos]

Will build an IPK.

Not enough room for Mplayer in the ROM itself (it's like over a MB large executable).

The KDEPIM suite is like... 8 MB itself, not leaving much room for other stuff there...

[mike151]

How about having both PIMs (Sharp and KDEPIM) as IPKs?
In that way we may pick and choose which one suits better our needs.
