What would you like to see in Cacko 1.22 ROM?

Ah hah !, just had the defrag kick in while I had a USB console open.

It seems the Z switches to 320x240 for some reason whilst trying to do this on Cacko ROM, don't think it does this on the original Sharp.

I'm wondering if the process writes something to the frame buffer directly and therefore screws up the display if it's in 320x240 mode.... I also wonder why it's switching to 320x240 mode... ?

Actually is there any chance of nailing the graphical quirk that occurs when you get a jffs2 defrag kicking in on an 860 (don't know if it effects other models) ?

On a Sharp ROM you get a message, the FS defrags then the ROM goes back to the time setting etc.

On Cacko 1.21b you get a black screen with large (chopped) letters showing some modprobe commands for a few seconds then a white screen for a couple of minutes before it drops back to the time setting thing.

You can trigger it if you construct a scenario where you are repeatedly copy large quantities of data to flash and deleting it over and over.
Any thought's on this defrag issue Anton ?

Even if you haven't any ideas as to why it may be happening may be good to hear.

I'm just wondering if it's anything to do with the ATI W100 patch for the kernel. What is that supposed to do anyway ?

Sorry, I have no idea what the source of this problem might be. I think you can avoid it if you don't fill up your internal storage with large amouns of data.

In response to Japanese support (cross posting from another thread, and then some):

My only issue now, after doing the Japanese text upgrade, is that there's no clear way to input with Japanese text. Even if you use the onscreen selector to choose your input method, there are many times where it just won't switch to Japanese, or (on some very rare instances) English.

If there was a selectable keymapping, or an optional install package process upon flashing the rom (is this even possible?), because now since the kana keys are converted to control and alt, there's no real reliable way to go between input methods. At least for me, the on screen selector just doesn't work well. I tried fooling around with the keyhelper, and that didn't really help much, either.

One request and one suggestion.

* A newer version of Busybox with adduser fixed !

* Create a Cacko lookalike IPK (or set of IPKs) so the Japanese guys can use all the original Japanese stuff in the 860 ROM without having to re add it. Obviously this is just a suggestion from a Gaijin (is that right ?) but if the Japanese Cacko fans could list what they like it may be easier to add the stuff via IPKs.

maslovsky,

I wouldl ike to see NLS support on the new Cakco ROM. I use the Zaurus to talk to many different windows platform which uses different codepage, if NLS modules (ipks) could be made available for the kernel would be good.

PS: Can you point me to how I can get recompile the kernel for the Cacko ROM 1.21B with just an additional NLS support ??? And how to just reflash the zImage, without changing other things in the current Cacko 1.21B. I love the current ROM, and I am afraid to loose it when I muck about the the kernel.

DeadJB:

As I mentioned before, you can recompile the kernel to get the kanji/kana keys back. That's what I did, and everything now works just like on the original Sharp ROM. There's a thread somewhere that includes a link to the patches used for the Cacko kernel; just apply all the patches except for the ctrl/alt key patch. Alternatively, you can try a precompiled kernel such as Tetsu's special kernel; however, you may lose some of Cacko's kernel's features, such as improved battery status.

The solution to this problem would be to remove the ctrl/alt key switch from the Cacko ROM, and use KeyHelper to assign the ctrl/alt keys. This would only work for Qtopia, though... it wouldn't work when booting to console. I would think that there is probably a way to adjust the keymap for console mode, though.

It would be nice to be able to get a working IM client on the Z.  While it need not be part of the default ROM, it would be nice if the libpng and such are updated to facilitate easier use of gaim.

And... while i like Opera, it has some serious issues.  Is it going to be possible to update the version?

Another thing: is there a way to lock the backlight applet so that it doesn't dim to minimum after a few seconds of inactivity when the AC isn't attached?

Thanks

I wanted to give you guys some update. I had a lot of work, so I coulnd't spend as much time working on the new ORM as I wanted. Anyway I'm currently finished with the kernel work, I've crated all nessesary patches, so that by the time new ROM is out full kernel sources will be available also for people who want to build their own modules or or customize the krenel.

I'm currently working on kino2 mplayer - updating it to work with the latest vewrion of mplayer optimized for ATI video chip. The new mplayer version gives excellent performance results - I was able to play unrotated 512x250 MPEG4 video without recompression!

Also, I'm adding a lot of new features to kino2, such as playlist support, support for Sharp remote control, customizable keys, etc. Kino2 will be the primary media player for the new ROM.

I have no idea when I'll be finished with the ROM, so just stay tuned...

Any chance of you releasing Kino2 source for inclusion into OpenEmbedded and therefore bring it into OpenZaurus as well. I like kino2 and would love to see it in OZ.

Can you release a ipkg of the player for us to install on older roms now?  I wouldn't mind the new functionality; I'm finding the version in 1.21b isn't playing a lot of files.

There is a possibility to have "aac" support ? in Kino2 (with playlist feature) or with MPEGplayer. So i could listen same music on my Zaurus and on my Nokia..

Am I missing anything? Is there a Netfront Version 3.1 out already?
I thought only the new SL-C3000 did have that one...

Maybe there is some other stuff on the SL-C3000, that could be used on the older models as well (the new Kernel 2.4.20 for example) ...

I tried the new mplayer-W100... (unpacked ipk and link with ...)  it works with aac in mp4 container, only for file.mp4 (Neroencoder and aac_profile = HE AAC codec = AAC Nero AAC ), not for aac from Faac. I could make video with Xvid and aac in avi container...
I tried Playlist.m3u, no problem.. you can jump between tracks with "fn + >", etc..; under Qconsole. Keys work like Mplayer on desktop, so Kino2 is a bit crazy, it's diffcult to forward
