Feb 3, 2009 - In attempting to play movies, I was told to download TCPMP. For putting movies onto the Palm TX, exactly what is the prescribed format,. The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) is a software media player which operates on portable devices and Windows-based PCs. It is discontinued, though TCPMP is still regarded as one of the most versatile media players for Palm OS based mobile devices. Myxer download free ringback tones.

Palm TX stuff I obtained Palm TX in March 2007 primarily for the following purposes: • Synchronizing TODO lists and calendars with Evolution • Ability to read different documents But it also turned out that I can watch movies on it. Unfortunatelly, I can not turn this device into mobile phone because it lacks microphone input. Here are random notes of what I did with the Palm and how did I configured/customized it.

Connecting Palm TX to the Internet There are multiple ways you can connect your Palm TX to the Internet. Palm can be connected to the Internet via integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IR devices, or with the USB cable used for HotSync operation. Here, I'm mostly interested in connecting Palm to the Internet via some Linux machine, but for the sake of completnes, I'll list the other means also. Configurations listed here are done on Fedora Core 6, but they should work on any other decently new distribution.

Wi-Fi connection If you have properly configured AP somewhere to access it with Palm should be without any problems. In case you don't have one, then, you can improvize with laptop (or any computer with wireless card). There are two ways in which you can conect the two. The first one is with ad-hoc mode, and the second one is to make laptop access point and then to connect the Palm to it. To make AP of laptop is relatively easy. The only thing that has to be carefully configured is security.

But first, let us configure the open AP. The scenario I'm assuming in the setup is shown in the following figure: If you have Atheros chipset (as I do) then execute the following set of commands to activate AP: # wlan ath0 destroy # wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap # iwconfig ath0 essid nx # ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev ath # ip link set dev ath up You should be now able to connect with Palm to the newly created AP. Note that there is no DHCP server so you'll have to manually enter IP data for connection in Palm device. For Palm's own IP address use 192.168.0.2, for default gateway use 192.168.0.1 and for DNS server use your provider's DNS servers. The next set of commands will enable Palm to access the Internet: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.2 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE Note that I assume you are using eth0 as your public interface. In case you are using something else, then change the command appropriately. TODO: Add DHCP and security!

Automate setup. TODO: Add ad-hoc connection USB cable connection This is a great way to connect Palm to the Internet in case you don't need mobility for some reason. In my case, the problem is that when I'm not on my job, I connect to the Internet via UMTS PCMCIA card ant the laptop allows only one PCMCIA card. So, the idea is to use USB cable for serial connection and then to run PPP on top of this serial connection. Here are the steps necessary to make this scenario work: First connect palm to the USB port of the computer and go to the Prefs launcher. There, select Network and then New. Fill in the data: Service name, then User Name (not used actually), Password you can leave unfilled.

For Connection select Cradle/Cable. Finally, select Connect. Note that you should select Connect before doint anything on the computer as there is no appropriate device to operate on. On the computer, as a root, execute the following command: # pppd /dev/ttyUSB1 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 ms-dns You should change dnsip1 with the address of your provider's DNS.
