    A date with the Pyra

    I had an iMac a few years ago with BootCamp installed that could boot to Mac OS X or Windows. I could also launch the Windows partition inside the Mac OS using VMWare (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1014618).  This was a nice...

    A date with the Pyra

    I'm not enraged by the suggestion of default boot to Android but the idea does force a lurker like me to bother to post.  I came to the pandora from the n900 community a few years ago and I am a supporter only because its a fairly open device in terms of software, design, and...

    How to reflash when right shoulder button is broken [solved]

    According to the wiki, you can boot an OS off an SD card in the right slot by creating a boot.txt file set to mmcblk1p1.  Assuming you have formatted your card with ext2 and you load the kernel off the SD card: setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rw rootwait vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K...

    How to reflash when right shoulder button is broken [solved]

    Last night something got messed up on my Pandora and I could not login to XFCE.  It would boot and accept my login but one of the scripts would fail, the desktop would not load, and I was back at the login prompt.  This morning I decided to do a full reflash of the most recent SuperZaxxon and...

    Wiki for Installing Pandebian (Pandora with Debian)

    I had the problem of not being able to boot off of my 8gb Transcend SD card when I created ext partitions using tools on the Pandora or on my desktop.  I ended up using the sd_installer.pnd which formats the SD card with 4mb fat partion for /boot and rest of the card with swap and a ext...

    Just Upgraded To SuperZaxxon, And No PND's In MM?

    I've had trouble before with MM after a full flash.  I ended up moving all the *.ovr files off of the SD card to get rid of custom names, categories, etc.  Also moved mmenu.conf file that I had customized.  Basically got rid of all MM customizations I had made.  Then I could see PNDs in MM.  I...

    Is There A PND...

    gPicView is called Image Viewer in repo. AFAIK most of them will handle .png and most have a slideshow feature that will work if images are in same folder.  My personal preference is Viewnoir, I use it on the Pandora and my desktop.

    Review with Praise

    Just received a silver 1Ghz Edition to replace my black Rebirth Edition (which is getting donated to the cause) and agree with bismuthdrummer's comparisons--the case is fantastic, the extra speed is nice, and the LCD is disappointing but only in contrast to the previous LCD. I had some initial...
