Short answer: Unzip and Browse :D

Longer answer: qood question... what I did was unzip to \data\wiki
on the archos, then use the file browser to open the \data\wiki\index.htm file each time I want to use it...
But another option would be to unzip the file to \info on the archos
then it might be ...

I've gone with this:

over 4000 articles, 24,000 pics.. something to read on the train

will it be possible this time to access the openPMA-NG with out the wifi connection?

Hi Suraj,
Bubu says " FTG exploit will be required". I'm sure that's a typo, and he meant the GFT exploit (http://code.google.com/p/arcwelder/). This exploit requires wifi, so it doesn't look like you'll be in ...

I was looking into running Damn Small Linux, any tried anything this stupid yet?

I got the qtopia that was released on here working, though its fairly functionless at the sec.

Im not quiet brave enough to wipe the HDD and put an image of this on and see if its boots.

Take a look at http://en ...

Is it worth upgrading ?
I don't know yet, because I haven't upgraded I'm hanging out for a new openpma release, but at the moment openpma doesn't do much.. so the choice is pretty academic.
If archos firmware offered keyboard support, I'd probably jump on it.

f**k it, i'm going to update now, the hacking doesn't work out.

I'm tempted too, the hack is great, but can't even get a keyboard to work or qtopiadesktop to work, so i'm running out of reasons to ever run the hack

Unless... there's a new release of openpma in the pipeline ?

They are editing the site right now 15.18GMT, there's a notice saying:

"The site is Being modified at the moment. We are sorry for any inconvenience."

Does the capitalization of "Being" signify that the next release will be labeled the 666 instead of 606 and it will be so good that it will take ...

As they say in the open source world, "it will be released when it's ready".

Oh, I thought it was "release early, release often" ;)

Personally, after my prayers were answered just after Christmas, I've been praying ever since, so I hold out great hopes for Easter. Did I mention that the Gods ...

Another Juice user here, then mediamonkey to sync with 605.

But I'll settle for a text-only initial version.

try this:

the 7z files are compressed html files.

Is there alot of applications available that will sync to the 605
Correct me if I'm wrong anyone ( I cannot get qtopiadesktop to run), but I'm assuming that the syncing capability is similar to a pda, insofar as you can sync contacts, notes, tasks, calendar.

If it would sync files as well, I'd ...

I'm using an unpowered hub, with a hdd and a card reader, it all works fine. There's an option to safely unmount each device on the Archos main screen

Next I'll try a different PC

I tried installing qtopiadesktop on a pc (no firewall, no antivirus), and it didn't run.
Sorry for hijacking this thread, but this is a major issue for me using Qtopia.
I'm wondering if there is anyway to stop desktop trying to sync on startup, just so I can debug ...

That's the same install file I used. I wonder if there is a firewall issue? Also, do you have the qtopia tray icon? Are you in an admin account?

Yes, admin account, and I turned off my firewall.

Qtopia Tray is just a shortcut to:

"C:\Program Files\Trolltech\Qtopia Desktop\qtopiadesktop.exe ...

I have qtopia desktop running on xp sp2 and it syncs just fine except for the calendar which is not working yet...

That sounds great.. I'm on xp sp2 aswell. I've downloaded ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/desktop/Windows/qtopia-desktop-2.2.0.exe and the install seems to run fine. When I run it ...

The built-in PIM apps all seem to work, and I am able to sync them with my laptop PC using Qtopia Desktop.



I'm very interested in the Qtopia Desktop, however I couldn't get it running on Windows. Can anyone report a working instance of Qtopia Desktop on Windows..

(I also tried to run it on ...

Oh it does do VOB? Thats good news to my ears:D

I bought the 'Cinema' plug in to avoid the hassle of conversion, but find that it will not play all vob files. For example, I copied the vob files from two DVDs yesterday. Neither will play.. It kinda makes the cinema plugin useless, because you ...

I use Scrapbook (Firefox extension) to capture web pages, then Synctoy to put the web pages on my 605.

i dont wanna format again

I'm in the same boat... and losing interest fast..

My sneaking suspicion is that there is an arms race going on.. Archos are working on a new firmware, and hackers are working on a new release that fixes alot of ...
