Zaurus Apps

Before I broke it, stupidly, I had a Linux-based Sharp Zaurus. I wrote some useful if not trivial applications for it, some of which are featured in Japanese books about the Zaurus (I got emailed by a Japanese tech writer). I put all two of my online Zaurus programs on this page.

These applications are horribly out of date and are really only here for historical purposes.

Project links

  • shell_0.2_arm.ipk
    A Qtopia-menu program that runs console commands. Similar to the run command in the start menu of Windows. Asks for a single line input of the command and then spits out the command's output through a message box. The "Run" icon appears in the Q menu at the bottom-left of your Zaurus' screen.
  • blanker_0.3_arm.ipk
    A program that turns off the screen for music playing or server work. Includes a console program. Note: I fixed the stupid dependencies. May need to have the "execute with root privilege" option set. Still, remember, once the screen is blanked the Zaurus is still fully on.
