Anyone manage to get iSilo working?
 
I just got my N800 today and the first thing I want to install is iSilo. I did some research and to my knowledge, iSilo doesn't run on these tablets yet..... so now I'm wondering if anyone runs iSilo on GarnetVM?? If yes, does it work successfully and is the screen full-screen or still the Palm size?

Thanks.

I think I saw iSilo listed by someone as one of their favorite apps, implying it is running for them, but it didn't work for me. So, you should try it in the GarnetVM, of course. It would be full-screen.

It would be awesome if iSilo could run on my N800. Anyone have step by step instructions?

I just got it running. There's nothing difficult about it; I just needed to install Tealecho, whatever THAT is. I'll watch your messages for a description of the problems you encounter. Oh, step by step?

1. Install Garnet VM
2. Install Palm version of iSilo.
3. Install Tealecho.

I installed iSilo OK, I don't see why you would need TealEcho?

It would be nice to have a virtual SD card of course, all your docs have to sit in "handheld memory".

I just installed iSilo, but my iSilo pdb files look horrible running on Garnet. Anyone know if FBreader can read iSilo files?

Sorry, another question.

I have like a Gig worth of stuff I want to put on here, but I already enlarged the storage heap on GarnetGVM to it's maximum measily 64 MB, anyway I can increase it to fit my 1 GB worth of files?

Re: Anyone manage to get iSilo working?
 
The reason I had to install tealecho is the program told me it needed it. Maybe there are different versions out there. I think that tealecho came in as one of the programs in the file I downloaded. I don't care that much, since I don't think I'll be using isilo -- I was just trying it out. I use FBreader, mainly.

I don't think FBreader can specifically read isilo files, but those files can be converted to some format FBreader can read, I would assume.

Re: Anyone manage to get iSilo working?
 
Let me answer a few here, to my knowledge...

No, there's no way right now to boost things past 64MB, we're all pulling for them to make a virtual SD card so you can get at the big files...

And once it's in iSilo format it can't be converted to anything else... iSilo is the only reader that works with that format. Unfortunately. Not so bad on Palm, because it happens to be an excellent reader.

If the docs look horrible it's probably because it's using subpixel hinting for a 320x320 screen, and it's stretched to a n8x0 screen... go into fonts and change the text size to medium, instead of small.

Thanks for your reply.

I guess I'll just have to make do with 64 MB....

In which folder I must paste my archieves .pdb in order to isilo by Garnet N810 reader it, since Isilo read only archieves pasted in "Internal Storage". In "temp" folder? In documents folder? This occurs cause Isilo donīt has browse option to search .pdb archieves. Could anyone help me?

One of the Google Summer of Code projects is to create a QT-based eBook reader for the N900. Might be worth asking if this reader will be able to import isilo files.

I forgot to add a link to the project details:

http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/stud.../t127230761250

I am very excited about some of the N900/Maemo projects for Google's Summer of Code. This could result in the creation of some stellar applications for the N900. Other projects include:

Porting OLSRd to Open Mobile Devices (Maemo/N900 and Android)

FaceBrick - a facebook client for Maemo / the N900

Optical Page Reader for the N900

Did you get the answer? I'm trying the same in my N900 and I can't see the files...

I wrote a step-by-step guide to do it. It's in portuguese, but you will find a quite efficient translator on the upper right corner. Maybe this help you.
