Free sony vaio software for linux

S-Jog is a GUI for Sony VAIO Jog Wheel.
S-Jog is a program that uses the Sony Vaio laptops Jog Wheel to launch user applications, adjust the screen brightness, volume, and also to scroll pages up and down (like a mousewheel).
S-Jog pops up when you move the Jog Wheel, then disappears after 3 seconds of inactivity so that it doesnt waste desktop space.
The aim of S-Jog is to give Linux a nice graphical application to manage Jog-Dial wheel on Sony Vaio laptops. It utilizes the Sony Programmable I/O driver in recent 2.4.x kernels or the legacy SPIC driver provided in S-Jog distribution.
Currently, S-Jog is able to launch applications defined in the sjogrc file, adjust the screen brightness level and also the master volume of the sound card. Also S-Jog makes the Jog-Dial work like a mousewheel and it runs in background.
Enhancements:
- README, sjog.1: Updated doc file

Sony RM-X2S XMMS Plugin plugin lets you control XMMS with a Sony RM- X2S joystick. These joysticks are typically shipped with certain car radios. The use of similar devices from other vendors should be possible. The joystick is connected to the standard game port.
Installation:
Compile and install the plugin source with:
./configure
make
make install
You can supply the following options to configure:
--enable-debug
enable debugging prints
--enable-nls
enable localization
You can insert module options into /etc/modules.conf to load the joystick module automatically by make installmodule.
If you are not root, or dont want to install into the global plugin directory use make install-home to install the plugin to your private xmms directory (~/.xmms).
Setup in XMMS
- Now start xmms and get the plugin configuration panel with CTRL+p. Select the plugin and click the Configure button (picture).
- Check the device setting. If you have only one joystick port, the default of /dev/js0 should be fine. (picture)
- Calibrate the joystick. The systems needs to perform 4 measurements each lasting 2 seconds. If you press the calibration button the first measure will start and a popup window will appear after 2 seconds. (picture)
- Press the OFF Button on your Sonystick on click OK. Leave the button pressed during the measurement (2 seconds) until the text in the popup window changes
- Now the same procedure with the MUTE Button
- Now press no button on the sonystick
- Now set the precision to 5. If you experience difficulties when using the joystick (events without touching the joystick or some buttons having the same event) you can alter this setting. Lower values make the joystick more precise, thus harder to control.
- Configure the buttons. A beep indicates that an event was successfully recorded.
- Pressing the OK Button to save the configuration. Cancel will not save any changes made to the configuration.
- Finally you can enable the plugin in the XMMS preferences window.

Sync4j is a mobile application server, and more. Sync4j includes a suite of tools to develop, deploy and manage any mobile project. It is a certified implementation of the Open Mobile Alliance Data Synchronization and Device Management protocols (OMA DS and DM, formerly known as SyncML).
Sync4j reached more than 19,000 downloads in a single month and it is supported by one of the largest mobile developers community in the world.
Main features:
- Sync4j Server: a mobile application server with connectors to SQL relational databases, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and SugarCRM.
- Sync4j Clients: applications for Outlook, Windows Mobile PocketPC, BlackBerry, Palm and iPod that you can use to synchronize your PIM data (address book and calendar) with the server
- Sync4j Email Gateway: a POP, IMAP and SMTP gateway, to support your mobile email needs.
- Sync4j Software Development Kit: tools to develop sometimes-connected mobile applications on devices (in Java - J2SE and J2ME - and C++) and to add data sources to the server
- Sync4j Device Management: an OMA DM server to remotely manage mobile devices
A wireless application needs data. The information must be available even when the device is off-line. Synchronization between multiple mobile devices and corporate servers is a fundamental component in every wireless project: data is supposed to be consistent when accessed by multiple users who are not always connected to the network.
Once a wireless application is developed, it needs to be transferred to a remote device, over-the-air. Then, it must be kept up-to-date. Application provisioning is pivotal for the success of any mobile project.
Developers of applications around the world have been looking for a platform that would make it easier to create mobile applications. IT Managers are struggling with PIM synchronization and mobile email deployments, locked by commercial vendors on a spiraling high cost structure and unable to manage a fast growing fleet of mobile devices. Sync4j is the solution they are looking for.
Open source means freedom from vendor lock-in and high quality software (thousand of eyes on the code, an enourmous community effort for testing). Sync4j is well supported by the community and the company behind it, Funambol.
Sync4j is an open source complete and unique mobile application server, addressing all the aspects of the equation:
- data synchronization, including PIM and email
- application provisioning
- device management
Sync4j is multi-device and multi-platform, running both in Windows and Linux. It runs on Tomcat and on top of J2EE application servers. It has been designed for carrier-grade deployments.
Since day one, scalability and reliability have been a clear focus of the Sync4j architecture, Sync4j is built on the Open Mobile Alliance data synchronization and device management standards (OMA DS and DM, formerly known as SyncML), thus leveraging the availability of SyncML clients pre-installed on cellular phones (such as all Symbian, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Siemens and others). For devices where a SyncML client is missing, Sync4j provides its own clients: Outlook, Windows Mobile PocketPC, BlackBerry, Palm and iPod.
Sync4j target market is everyone looking to build, deploy and manage a mobile project:
- Developers who need to extend an existing product to the mobile world or are looking for an easy way to create new mobile applications, grabbing data from existing data sources (such as SQL databases, Exchange, Domino or SugarCRM) or adding new data sources.
- IT Managers that want to deploy a PIM and mobile email solution or just need a way to manage a fleet of mobile devices.
- Device Manufacturers, that are looking for an OMA DM or DS client.
Download includes:
Apache Tomcat 5.0, Sync4j Admin 1.2.4, Sync4j Java GUI Client 1.0.9, PIM Web Demo 1.1.7. Runs out-of-the-box.
Enhancements:
- Major bugfixes

KSMS-Tool is a tool for sending SMS via your mobile phone. In principle, every modern mobile phone should be supported; these have been explicitely tested so far:
- Siemens S55
- Sony-Ericsson K700i
The connection to the mobile phone is established via the serial interface. In principle, every serial emulation (e.g. via USB, IrDA, Bluetooth) should also work if an error-free connection is guaranteed (especially in the wireless cases IrDA resp. Bluetooth).
Details on choosing a non-default connection to the mobile phone or on how to populate the user-defined addressbook can be found on the KSMS-Tool homepage.

jrawio is a Service Provider Implementation for the Java ImageIO API. It provides the ability to read images coded in a digital "camera raw" format (such as NEF for Nikon or CRW/CR2 for Canon).
jrawio is to be pointed out that jrawio is implemented in 100% pure Java.
In simple words, a Camera RAW format is the dump of the data collected by the camera sensor, with basically no post-processing applied. While it has the pitfall of requiring heavy processing in order to achieve a displayable image, the basic advantage is that any transformatio applied to it is "reversible".
From this point of view a Camera RAW format can be thought as a "digital negative". But dont confuse this with Adobes Digital Negative format (.DNG), which is just the try to define a standard format of RAW images. Indeed every camera manufacturer (e.g. Nikon, Canon, ...) has its own format.
jrawio is presently a Release Candidate for v1.0, so its coming out of beta stage. Please refer also to the Release Notes for information about issues.
It has been tested with about 8,000 photos taken with Nikon D100 and D70 cameras and with about 250 samples of various cameras downloaded from the web. jrawio has been explicitly tested with the following models:
Canon CR2 Digital Rebel, EOS 1D MkII, EOS 1Ds MkII, EOS 350D
Canon CRW D30, EOD 10D, EOS 300D
Leica DNG R8, R9
Minolta MRW DiMAGE 5, DiMAGE 7i, DiMAGE 7Hi
Nikon NEF CoolPix 5400, CoolPix 5700, CoolPix 8700, CoolPix 8800, D1, D100, D1X, D200, D2H, D2X, D50, D70, D70s
Pentax PEF *ist D, *ist DL, *ist DS
Sony SRF F828
Enhancements:
- This release fixes bugs related to application integration.

VISCA Camera Control Library is a library for controlling a VISCA(tm) compliant camera through the RS232 port of your PC. VISCA, on its side, is a protocol developed by Sony so that a lot of machine vision cameras from Sony are compliant with VISCA.

Typical cameras include the FCB-IX47 family of camera block for OEMs. Note that other devices, such as VCRs, can be controlled. Drop me a line f you know other functions that you would like to be implemented and for which you have the opcodes.

libVISCA has been tested only with an FCB-IX47P. This does not mean that its the only camera compatible, but some others might require addition/changes. In the current version, libVISCA has interface functions for every command/inquiry of the specifications. This includes zoom, focus, digital effects, white balance, and much more.

Every function composes an RS232 message, up to 12 bytes long. The message is then sent to a function that will actually send the 12 bytes after appending a header and footer. The function also waits for answers from the camera, such as ACK and completion messages. If its an inquiry, the reply is stored in the input buffer of the interface structure.

PSIX is originally a shell for the Sony PSP. I found the shell to have great graphics and a nice interface so i decided to port the look and feel over to one of the best window managers and OS. I also did this without falling under any License agreements because no one likes GPL.

Note: If installer dosent open from Konqueror then start installer from Konsole (sh Install PSIX Theme.bash)
