No, I've tried before and found out that the shell file used in the iPod Manager has problems reading normal shell commands. I originally made a work about for this, but now theres the new userland that supposedly enables start files, so then it should work. If you want this to work as it is right now with the iPod Manager, you'll have to duplicate the shell file in the zip and replace the shell file in the manager with the one from the zip.

It works normally for me...

yes, thats what i did was made a copy of darkmatter scheme and renamed it to default like you said on the first post. The first time i rebooted, it came up with darmatter as the scheme, but when i rebooted, the menus and scheme got all messed up again. it was like black and white with the text from all the menus i went through merged together. i found out that it deleted my default file after reboot. so why is it deleting it is the question? on another note, when the menu/scheme is messed up, if i go into schemes and change it, it goes back to normal. But what im wondering is why the scheme that comes up is so messed up. its definitely not the black and white theme.

Alrighty, I obtained PZ2 source and looked through it. Apparently this is how scheme handling works.

Code:

if (save) {
unlink (SCHEMESDIR "default.cs");
symlink (file, SCHEMESDIR "default.cs");
}

In otherwords, the default.cs file is resymlinked each time. Hardcoding the default.cs file is only a temporary measure. In the new PZ2 binaries, however, mono.cs is automatically chosen as default, so there shouldn't be any problems for that. Just update the Podzilla2 binary.

k i will do that. for some reason though, when i tried to extract the latest nightlies, they wouldnt, so i kind of messed up the firmware, being stupid and trying to update with an unextracted file. but i will reinstall and update. can you just put the updated files in with the install files?

i keep on trying to extract the latest pz2 files from nightlies, and have tried multiple programs saying no archives found. i dont get it. ive tried earlier files from the pz2 files there too.

Hm, works for me. Download em to desktop first, then extract using the WinRar shortcut ("Extract here" on right click). Winzip won't work here.

im using winrar, but what i think is that it really isnt a compressed file, because it has the same exact file size as the podzilla 2 file in your installer. what i did was made it into an allfiles/file type:file. im going to see if that works.

did not work. just a bunch of text. but could you possibly upload the latest nightly that is unzipped to rapidshare or something. i dont get why it wont extract. im using winrar and other extracting programs, and it always says no archives found.

sorry for all the posts, but i am really trying to figure this out. do you have the schemes working on yours perfectly, because i finally was able to extract the download. im not sure why, but it was a different file size this time when i downloaded. maybe im just retarted. but still no luck with the default.cs problem

Alrighty! Big 'nouncement for ZZ. I've created a userland with ZZ components already added, so everything is installed turing iPodLinux installation! The below link is a zip containing the networkless Installer 2 with a modified packages.ipl that installs the ZZ system in one go. This contains ZZ 1.3, which has all updated modules, schemes, zillas and iBoy. Also, the userland is based on the newest version that enables start files ; )

See three posts below for download link. v v v
I'm uploading the zip (23.1 mb) right now, so watch this space for a download link!

Actually, I think I accidentally included a new, unreleased Floyd2MPD binary AriX compiled for me instead of the normal Floyd2illA (its still a updated version though, but I didn't completely test it all). The problem is, MPD doesn't seem to connect for me at startup, so that may be a problem. It might be because I have no music on (ie, no /iPod_Controls/Music folder), but I'll post if it works. Otherwise, the Podzilla 2 probs are fixed.

Ps. MySourceDump is being a pain in the ass for uploading. I might end up using a private uploader instead. Either way, tomorrow AriX may have a mirror up for y'all ; )

Here it is. Its hosted on a private uploader, so don't mess around. Download the Installer (first one) and possibly the iDoom Expansion Pack as well. The Rockbox stuff is already included in the installer rar (see the ReadMe). Enjoy!

Also updated first post.

Edit: Bugs
The rc file extras do not execute properly for reasons I'm trying to find out. That means no MPD, no clock syn and no Loader 2 arguments for now.

FOr the installer, a small warning popup warns of "Package format version mismatch (need 3, got 2)" - that my editing mistake; just change the line "version 2" in the packages.ipl file to "version 3". It shouldn't affect installation though.
