Updated wikipage for DR's

fekhner · 09-20-2011, 09:12 PM

As suggested by Iñigo at some stage, I took a bit of time to update to the best of my knowledge the wikipage for the DR readers,

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Digital_Reader_Software

I hope this can simplify life for newcomers. Please have a look and correct if necessary.

Very nice!

There are some items there I hadn't read about yet that I'll probably check out soon.

Excellent work. it's nice to see at a glance where the DR is up to in terms of all the software being developed.

Excellent work.
Thanks

Now, when I got my DR1000, I can check all addons over.

Does anybody know how to make the link to the DR wikipage a sticky or how to make it appear at the top of the forum exactly like the link for the ILiad by Adam B. ? Probably that could be useful for everybody ...

That's something only moderators are able to do - maybe you can ask them this favour?

fekhner · 11-08-2011, 11:58 AM

thanks for the info, will do

Paquillo · 11-09-2011, 01:13 PM

Great work, fekhner! Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I haven't been keeping up with the development for the DR1000 and the wiki page is a great resource, thanks a lot.

I was disappointed to see that there is not even a project to get the thing to suspend to RAM. Has this been deemed hopeless by those of you who know better? Just so that I can abandon all hope and be finally in peace

Cheers,
Manolo

I think that suspend to RAM is working but not suspend to flash, which is probably what you were looking for, see posts # 36- 41 of this thread

I don't think Irex ever succeeded in succesfully implementing suspend to ram.

According to this post from an Irex employee the reader should last 3 times as long in standby mode (=suspend to ram), from 8 hours in normal mode to 24 hours in standby mode. This is nowhere near the case with the DR1000, at least not with mine.

Suspend to RAM works since firmware 1.5. This mode, also dubbed "sleep", automatically switches of all but RAM and the hardware detecting the pressing of a key until such time a key is pressed. It's hard to express in hours - I never read a book for 24 hours straight - but the gain sounds realistic to me.

(Unfortunately it is negated by the battery getting old and getting old extra quick due to the deep draining occuring occasionally.)
