WM5 1.60c up grade - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

I have up dated my Rom to Buzz's WM5 1.60c up grade,
This left me with 14.54MB storage (& 120.32MB Programe)
However, after sync'ing with activeSync 4.0 (I have 4040 contacts), the storage has become low, Critical in fact! (0.65 MB). I have serched XDA-Dev & Buzz's site and all I have seen is a discussion on RAMDisk (I downloaded this programe but when I un arcived it did not have a .CAB for me to put on my XDA) & Hima_DOC_Tools_1.0 which I cant find anywhere to download on either site.
If someone could help, that would be great
My other concerns are
Camera & Record Button not working
MMS messaging missing
Aart from these small problems, I find the WM5 a greatly usefull OS

i believe most your answers are addressed here

Storing Programms to Flash

Subject: Storing Programms to Flash
From: ako
Date: 18 Jan, 2003 15:27:02
Hi everybody, hi XDA-Developers,
just found today this really cool site and must say: great
rewards for you!
Am really happy to find a way, to backup my MDA.
Had a Palm before my MDA and that was so cool, to control most
of the things you can do with a PalmOS, with the Flash and so
on.
But now to my question: has anyone found a way to store
programms in the 32MB Flash of the MDA/XDA???
Would be greatful NOT to loose the installed programms, when
changing my SD-Card (i have stored most of the programms on the
card, to leave as much RAM as possible for working).
Would be cool, if anyone can help with this and post his/ her
experiences.
Have a nice day,
ako
hi everybody another time ...
just asked some weeks ago, but no answers.
think it's interesting for all of us. perhaps now there is someone who solved the puzzle???
cheers ako
24MB of that space is used for the OS, so you can't use that. The remaining 8MB could be used with the right software. HP includes that with the Jornada, called "Safe Store." I found it very nice to have when I had a Jornada. Unfortunately, the PPC ROM files seem to be protected so they can't be copied. Anybody know a way around that? If so, I can copy this from a friend's Jornada.

Home-cooked 1.72.902 upgrade package (1.72.00/1.17.00) T-Mob

I just put together the following pieces
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.902
"CountryCode" = TMOBILE
All configured for T-Mobile NL
Plz. Post any comments
(Plz. note this thread replaces http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11781 )
8-11-2004 20:57 GMT: New version V2 uploaded.
I added a small archive containing the changed ExtROM files to solve the earlier reported errors (not updating ExtROM version and not making IIWPO un-installable).
Comment on IIWPO and making it un-installable: After having customized & installed IIWPO, you will have to do one of the following to make it un-installable if youre using the 1.72.902 ExtROM:
a. Another hard-reset
b. Running Version_172_902.cab from the ExtROM
NOTE: This thread is being replaced by
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am d/l'ing right now and will be installing shortly...
One request... You might want to include the cab for setting up IIWPO in case someone is installing it into the phone.
edsub Thanks.
Question tho. Can I use this for T-Mobile USA and does it fix the MMS problem ?
asking because the version says NL, isnt that the Netherlands country code ?
Thanks again
Well from first look everything seemed ok.
THese are a few of the things I have noticed since loading.
1. The ext rom version # doesn't show up in the info
2. If you use the IIWPO then it still shows in the remove list
3. The new apps from the 187 version will not install no matter what you do. (I have tried adding the ver # in the Reg, both 902, and 187 (not at same time)) Niether worked.
These are the few things that I have found since loading. If I find any more I will loet you know. Other than these I think you havea winner here!
I was wondering about the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 packages, and why you didn't include or update to them? Was there some incompatibality issue?
Thanks and great job!

Is SRS included?
SRS is not included due to the fact that I don't see any use for it personally. Since it is an ExtROM installer, you could add it yourself.
The NL is only there because some sdetting are more or less specific to the Netherlands. I had feedback on my earlier 1.72.901 package that it worked for other countries (incl USA) as well. Be prepared that the date format will be dutch by default (easy to change via settings though).
Also MMS is suposed to be working (but I have not tried it due to lack of interest in MMS)
The ExtRom# is not showing because some bug in the Version_172_902.cab. Working on that now.
IIWPO not showing in the remove programs list is a bit more difficult than it seems if you install for the first time. Normally you would boot up the device with new rom. IIWPO is NOT installed at this point. Once you have customised & installed IIWPO, you will have to do ANOTHER hard-reset (ie run the ExtRom contents again) to disable the uninstall. You could force this by hand first time to re-run Version_172_902.cab after installing the customised IIWPO. BUT as this cab is not OK, it wont work anyway. Working on that now.
I did not find the time to look into the new O2 apps. If someone finds a solutiuon here, I am more than happy to includew it in a new version.
For the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 the basic reason is lack of time. I dont know what 'extra' new there is on bluetooth in the O2 builds? OS Rom 1.72 allready has an updated BT stack that fixes most open issues. I have no experience (& interest) in MMS / streaming MMS . . .
I suppose the issue with TomTom locking up without GPS enabled is not solved with this rom ?
I know: wishful thinking..........
@Pleun: Nope. I WISH I would have solved that one!!! FYI: I tested he new TomTom GPS 3.07. It doesnt solve any locking issue and next to that makes my Headset react very slow. Also the 'Bluetooth GPS' option that is supposed to solve the locking has gone, at least with my installation. Not advisable. I reverted back to TomTom GPS 3.03.
@all: I solved the issue of not setting the Ext Rom version and making IIWPO non-uninstallable. New version V2 will be up in 10mins (incl. incremental fix for all that downloaded the version from yesterday).
New V2 is up now. See first post in thread.
Plz keep posting comments to make this upgade better

I feel like my MDA2 is a little bit slower to respond not sure why! I added PocketMVP, Belkin Bluetooth GPS, Resco Explorer 2003 V5.0 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP2 for Pocket PC 2003.
I am having problem with Belkin BT GPS; I got it to bond, detect the COM port (COM5) and baud rate(4800) to use but my MDA2 hangs up and had to soft reset. Any idea why?
I will try to install one by one and see what's causing it and report here.
edsub thanx for me it works great its a great improvement!
machine seems faster and no more lock-ups.
Keep up the good work (ill be following you)
p.s only one thing my battery seems to give me no more than 4 hours of on-time
4 hours is very different from my (and others!) experience. The 1.72 rom should even improve battery life.
My battery lasts for about 1,5 days (not measured but recalled from my memory) with approx 1-1.5 hours on the phone and bluetooth permanently switched on . . .
were can I download this rom from?
from the first msg in this thread : RUU172902WWE_eDsuBsofT V2.exe
Hi me again, dont want to sound stupid but I've tried both Opera and Explorer and cannot find any executable file in the first post. Normally it appear in some sort of info box but none to be seen on this thread and the link to the previous one!?!?! Is this something to do with XP SP2?

You cannot download it as a guest! If you are a member of this forum you have to log-in before you can see the file you want to download. That's what I encountered before so just try logging in first.
Good luck!

I have put together rom upgrade 1.72.903
This thread can be closed. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652 for the new one
Edit: The new upgrade files are now available (see refered post)
An error need help please
I downloaded the files then followed the instruction below but now I get error
the flashing process
first the devicedata is obtained from the device, with HimaGetDeviceData.exe, this gets the operatorname, and language/country code from the extended rom, sector 2 of the BDK.
Then a tool 'HimaClearJumpCode' is executed, which erases the jump at the start of the kernel. causing the bootloader to start at next reboot.
the upgrade tool then connects to the bootloader of the xda, via serial over usb. ( port \\.\WCEUSBSH001 )
warning do not just run the 'HimaClearJumpCode' program, it will erase part of your OS rom, after which you will have to repair your device by running an entire upgrade again.

WM2005 for XDAII - is it worth upgrading yet?

Hi,
Noticed lots of progress with the WM2005 for XDAII project and want to congratulate everyone involved for their hardwork.
I wanted some feedback on the upgrade process from those that have done it, how did they find the upgrade process, is the device working as intended (if not, how much of the device is funtional) etc.
I am currently running my own cooked WM2003SE Rom with v1.19 Radio and it works great, everything works with out a glitch and I have not had any issues for over a year - I would like to try a copy of WM2005 in the hope that I will get the same functionality as I currently have.
The only thing putting me off right now is lack of info as to how it works, what problems are there such as not being able to downgrade if I need to etc. Just basic concerns really.
I want to get my hands on a fully working rom image for my XDAII as I do allot of pocket PC development and would like to start working on apps geared towards Windows Mobile 5.0.
Cheers,
Fz
yo this is my first post, i have only had my xdaii for about two weeks and have upgraded to wm2005, i think in some respects it is better than 2003, but it has some issues like camera button and record button not working, but there is software to resolve these issues. one other bad point is that that you cant seem to copy your contacts, there is a program calleed asukal sim manager but this doesnt work either. the way to fix it is to go into to the windows folder and find a FILE called simuploader and this does it all for you, some of the plus points is it is much easier to extend your rom, and when you install programs it gives you the option as to where you would like to save it storage program etc. to answer another question yes you can flash back to 2003 as i have gone back to 2003 se and have since changed the rom several times. I hope some of this info is ok for you......

Make your X01HT a WM6 Device (for Gaijins)

You just got your X01HT and would like to use the latest WM6 ROM in English with your Softbank account ?
Here is a quick guide, gathering information that has been exchanged and spread accross many threads on this forum (Searches can be fastidious, I know that well...)
I have been reading this forum a lot, keeping on asking questions to everybody, so it's time I contribute a bit to help by describing step by step how I switched my Japanese WM5 Softbank X01HT to a WM6 English device
This post is target at Gaijins who want an English WM6, but still want to be able to use Japanese with it. For a Japanese MUI or ROM, I guess Asukal will probably publish something
***EDIT: for a 100% Japanese ROM, you can now have it here: http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=...ge=2#msg-30597 ***
I was first willing to cook a ROM including all these, in order to spare some space on my HERMES. I had already cooked an "intermediary" one when Tadzio issued his method to make a "shrinked" OS ROM that would allow you to use the spare space from the ROM
Since this, no point in adding all these mods in my ROM
First: making flashing safe
Download Hard-SPL-V2 from the great Olipro to avoid bricking your device. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Install it
Then, get your ROM.
Download the_passenger ROM shrink version of LVSW 20070320 ROM (More space available) and install it (Read threads about flashing ROMs if you are not familiar with that...)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8YJATBPG
Install the Softbank AP Settings for your internet connection. You really WANT that. Big thanks to itamae without whom we'd be stuck on first of April this year... (Or I'd still be using WM5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298031
Now you need a Registry editor
I am used to PHM Regedit. You can find it there for free:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
To map properly your Softbank Keyboard, do the following registry modifications:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 30411 (Hexadecimal base)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload] "Default"= e0010411
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1] "Default"= e0010411
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...keyboard+x01HT
To allow the video Call key to appear on your phone keypad, modify the registry as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin] Enabled = 1
Optional: getting rid of useless trayapp (It looks nice... but it Slows down the Hermes and you can replace it with better apps)
Delete TrayApp key from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
Fix the disappearing micro SD (Doesnt really work for mine... But could work for yours...)
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196 (Decimal base)
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196 (Decimal base)
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324
Now time to have your Hermes speak Japanese
Japanese fonts
Use the excellent work from Asukal, that you can find here:
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/LetsJapanNo5.zip
I did have a problem with it: once I executed it, I could not sync with my Exchange server (Quite a pain for my push email account...)
Asukal found the solution: edit the registry, and change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mobem\CE-Star] "MyNLS" = "\windows\wince.nls"
Japanese input
Not using for myself, but these work perfectly (I tried):
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/BagojsINPUT.zip
Silent mode switch
You're going to be missing the Softbank unique way of switching to silent mode (Only available in Softbank ROM)
The way to go around this is by using Vibra
Details available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ighlight=vibra
Download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1164714506
MMS
Softbank's MMS System is a pain because it's incompatible with "classic" MMS systems...
You can download Softbank's software... But... it's slow, big, bulky, ugly, etc... If you dont mind missing the emoticons, you should go for MMSLite
Regedit, Look for Arcsoft. Delete all references to Arcsoft (Sometimes need to be done in several times, some entries being in use if you have by mistake launched MMS Composer once since your flash of the OS...)
If you dont do these eletions, MMSLite will actually not install...
Downlaod and install MMSLite
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1170599400
It should work perfectly !
I you have enough courage (And ONLY after having installed Hard-SPL 1.11 !!!), you can try flashing your radio
You dont have to... but the latest 1.38 does seem to grant an improved battery life
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297925
Now you're done, you have a great phone with a faster OS, more storage space, improved battery life, that works perfectly with Softbank AP, can use Softbank proprietary MMS system, and can read and write Japanese
After, there are lots of other things you can do, like mounting your Extended ROM to gain extra space, Unlock the SIM, etc, etc... But it is not the purpose of this thread. Have fun reading the forum, it is well documented in other threads
Have fun !!

Special Note:
This is NOT an OFFICIAL ROM. You can not expect support from O2 by bringing in your device with this ROM. Neither should you contact them for support on this ROM. By downloading and upgrading your device with this ROM, you agree to the considerable risk of bricking your device; and that I can not be held liable for damage brought about by the usage of this ROM.
Jiggs
Side Note: This will not SIM unlock or change your mobile serial no. (IMEI) in any way. You can flash back to original ROM anytime! Do not attempt to flash this on ATOM EXEC! If you get COUNTRY ID ERROR, you did not follow steps above. Do NOT restore from spb / sprite full backup, this will overwrite system files and make your device unstable; worse, unusable.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO UPDATE YOUR DEVICE USING SD CARD FLASHING!!!
Official XDA Atom WM5 AKU2.2 WWE Thanks MightyOX!
To everyone who tested this ROM:
When I say this is for evaluation only, it means you are to test this ROM. It is not a perfect ROM. We will never know the bugs unless it is subjected to different scenarios. You can not also expect to have every solution to every problem encountered in this ROM. You can, however, do your part and contribute by finding a solution yourselves. I cannot do this alone, and this is not the only thing I do. I posted this ROM to share with everyone else, and get to enjoy more features for our neglected device. If you are not contented, you can always go back to the previous ROM of your choice. We are not forcing you to use this ROM. Please don't make demands here...
Jiggs
Good work!!! Make this ROM for Atom exec support miniSDHC...
Is this the same as the one you PM'd me with? <.<
I'm still going to test the beta to see if the SDHC drivers work, tho.
What is the difference between various page pool sizes. How do I decide which one I need.

more or less... hope SDHC works! only some minor changes. I had to change pagepool to have different program memory requirements. been using 4mb since yesterday, graphics is lagging but processing power is still the same result as per benchmarking.
Thanks again JIGGS....your update is keep on coming , blessing from you for our atom.. MANY THANKS
yes right, can you explain to us the pagepool differences? which is better of this 3?
JUST A REMINDER GUYS...so no one will have a dead ATOM!

I can't tell you which is better. You have to try it. Different users have different requirements. It's a trade off between graphics speed and available program memory. processing speed is not affected by it based on my benchmarking tests.

I don't advise you to sacrifice too much pagepool for program memory, tho - WRT experience from the WM5 builds, a large pagepool actually speeds up your device. If you don't wish for the Atom 1st Gen ROM experience (and, given that the unit I own used to belong to my first adopter sister, I'm well familiar with that), take the 6MB PP at least.
By the way, folks, I have "moved" my "sig". For great justice. ^_^
By the way: You know those default program cabs Jiggs puts into the extROM? It's safe to delete them if you don't intend to install them (you must install the extROM unlock first, however). Just as long as you don't touch anything that doesn't look like an official program install or directory, you should be safe - and you get to use your extROM as an install location. Hard reset and soft reset still works correctly without them around, so if you plan to use your extROM and need the real estate, go right on ahead.
(I wonder what happens if I hard reset with a custom cab in there... tho I'm a little too lazy to reinstall everything right now.)
Any chance of an update for the o2 atom exec?

contrary to our experience in WM5, WM6 didn't suffer as much LAG as it did during the past. In fact, I'm still using the 4MB without any complaints. I don't know for others who play games on their ATOM....
How's SDHC my friend? working?

THANKS for the advice bro..maybe i will try to see the difference of both. One of my friend will install a different pagepool and we will compare.
adtl advice, just copy those cabs you will erase to your SD card then maybe oneday, someone or you may need it ;-)
