Watapon ROM

[Merardon]

Have you made the rom more secure at all? I'm currently happy with TheKompany rom. Does this work with the 5500? I'm too lazy to flash it right now, too tired.

The ROM is not secured any differently than the other Sharp based ROMS.
It will not work with the 5500 it is specific to the 5600.
If you do have a 5600 it's a great ROM, cleaner than the TK ROM and a little more modulare.

Chaos:

Confirm usb sync not working for me as well. Still testing others.
Btw where is the mplayer ipkg?

[Chaos]

Ok, I'll see about that USB sync... I must be missing something painfully obvious...

The mplayer IPK isn't built yet. I'll try to get that one built soon though.


Zethereal is complaining about a libgcc? Why would it need something (assumably) related to gcc? Hmm, I'll have to dig into this a bit more...

well 1.5.6 is looking pretty good  

I've found some quirks with the file manager application.

clicking and holding to bring up the menu works fine ...  but when you open a file as text, it just dies.  Possibly becasue the mime type is only set to .txt?

I often use this method to look at files like network.opts and alot of .conf files, just to see how thier made.  It's alot easier then firing up a Konsole with VI each and everytime I want to check something.

Any tips on how to fix this?

The terminal application also won't allow me to paste a string into it. I can copy from it ... but pasting won't work.  I often use the file manager to find where I want to be (it's easier to see) .. then just copy/ paste the location into the terminal.

I'm also have problems connecting with a wpc11 linksys card. it's reconized, but it wont' connect to a wide open linksys default router.   Not sure what's going on, but I'll explore further. I copied over my old wlang-ng.opts file but none of the entires are being reconized by the network manager.   Anyone else have a problem with this card?

Well shoot. I've been slowing customizing my 5500, and then discover the Watapon ROM with everything I was looking for.

Are there any plans for a 5500 compatible ROM?  Right now, I've been considering waiting for the Trolltech ROM.

As said many times before, this is NOT a 5500 ROM, and I don't own a 5500, so I can't really make it into one either.

The 5500 is also way too limited to have what this one has in the default config (5500s have like 8 MBs less internal flash room).


loji, I don't know how to solve those problems exactly, but I'll look into the mimetype one. I didn't even realize you can paste or copy in the terminal, so no clue on solving that one...

I got the wireless card working fine now.....Reflashed and formatted.... I'll just have to add all my network settings manually....small price to pay for such a goood ROM

I was thinking the name of the text program has changed. Since you added this better text editor...I imagine you erased the old one. They probably went under different names...so when the filemanager tries to open the default textmanager it just dies becuase it can't find it....a symlink from the old name to the new editor should fix that I bet...
Anyone know the name and location of the default sharp texteditor.

great stuff   everything works very smooth .. but I'm noticing the battery is draining alot faster than it used to. . .   Am I just crazy?   I was on the net for 20 minuets or so, and had the Z on for about an hour this morning.. . but it's already down to 25% . Does doing alot of installing drain more of the battery?   that's all i was doing all morning during class  

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this ::: or if there is something I set wrong that is sucking the juice.  I seemed to get about 2 hours of active wifi use before my battery died with my old rom.

btw:   opie rotation is amazing!!  First time I installed it it works fine (and from an SD card too)  Veery useful to have landscape mode.

Is the Kmail/pi the newest version?  It's really unstable for me.  Does anyone else use it?    Whenever I try to delete anything it crashes.  Delete mail, crash ... delete a mail profile, crash... etc.. It's great having it intigrated with ko/pi, but only when it works. .. .   Anyone else notice this?

I haven't noticed any difference in my battery life.
I get around 2.5 -3hrs with my wifi on and get around 6 without.

Chaos,

any news for the usb fix for 1.5.6?

[adf]

arrgghhh.  I'm selling my 5600 to cover the cost of a new 6000.  This is a better rom than I'm getting.  
trivial stuff....
X/QT works well on watapon. the xqt > pocketworkstaion hack does too... lot of fun there
There was a version of xmms, with mplayer that worked .00005, or something much like that. I'll try it out. If I rmember though mplayer would drop frames of some recordings whe called through xmms....  we'll see

Thanks for all the work.

xmms 0000.5 works and there is a same version embedded mplayer to go wth it.

Ok, just quickly writing up a reply here to update everyone... I've been terribly busy lately. I haven't had any time to work on the ROM. I should in a few weeks though, around the beginning of winter holidays. So I'll get an updated/fixed version out then, or I should... Once again, sorry for the lack of recent work.
