Great for BA
Downloading...
Thanks Krub-Pom

[raymondu999]

Could you explain further the nature of the ROM? (as in clean WM5 or what?)

[xplode]

can you share more info please
ivan's rom is based on mamaich v3, tuatara's rom is based on version ported from wizard and has parts from himalaya. so which rom is the base of this one ?

[logout]

About 50% extract from tuma 1.4, 40% from Ivan V4R1 and 10% from Himalaya 2.01a. Platform is based on version ported from wizard so this rom can add Device lock.

[hycool]

:D
Thanks
This rom is verygood,veryfast

[al_3sjad]

Thanx (logout) :D

[Stofi]

hi, is there a mms client inside?

[thangbom]

I have just installed it. Gr8! Faster than all previous ROMs that I have used. Will monitor the battery life time. Wifi is great, although I don't use bluetooth (so obviously no test). Big Thanks, LOGOUT :lol:

[bolopez]

I've tried it and is really faster, but I haven't been able to access the extended rom in any way. I've tried it from 2003 and using the WM5 tools, but no way. Which is the right way to get it with this ROM?

Thanks in advance,

[nijhof]

does BT work?

About 50% extract from tuma 1.4, 40% from Ivan V4R1 and 10% from Himalaya 2.01a. Platform is based on version ported from wizard so this rom can add Device lock.

Hi logout ...

First off I have to say ... a nice job on the ROM ... and a very good initial go for ROM editing. There are a number of details in this ROM which you should address though, which would help a lot, and make for a good ROM release.

***

Definitely a 'good' ROM editing job and worthy of testing and debugging. From what I've looked at logout has done a reasonably comprehensive job on this ROM.

For everyone's benefit I'd better qualify what this ROM really is - the ratio of this ROM quoted is not quite right or 'fair' or 'accurate' ... to use those kind of words. There has been a LOT of work done - but the majority of it has been not on the core OS, but only on the added applications. So ... for this, it needs better explanation, so that you know what it's really running 'under the hood':

Core OS: (the bits which make it all go) It's 99% TuMa v1.4 ... the 1% removed from the core is the audio gateway / wave device, which is related to the BT Stack. Otherwise every other core element in the ROM is identical to TuMa v1.4.

Functional OS: (i.e. the programs which are in main use) It's about 80% TuMa v1.4, with about 10% replaced / restored XIP DLL's (unused ones) and about 10% (as CABs) from Ivan's.

Features: (the cool toys) 15% TuMa v1.4, 15% Himalaya, and 70% of Apps/Features Removed from the ROM. Cool!

BT Stack: 100% Widcomm Addition from Acer n300 ROM. MS Stack disabled.

Main Registry: 60% Himalaya, 15% TuMa, 15% Ivan

Boot Registry: 100% Tuma v1.4 (which will OVERRIDE anything which was done in the Main Registry by the way!!!!!)

***

Having the Boot Registry inconsistent with the Main Registry is what (indirectly) is saving this ROM. All of the performance boost elements I'd added into TuMa v1.4 (file system, XIP sections, modules, DDI spec, etc.) are controlled through the boot registry, and this has (luckily) not been changed. Because of this, the ROM is effectively using TuMa v1.4 as it's core for booting, setup, OS, filesystem, and display accelleration, as well as providing for the core OS functionality and speed.

This ROM is (almost) TuMa v1.4 without the baggage. There are a few performance things missing, but they are minor.

Basically ... not to put too fine a point on this - this ROM is TuMa v1.4 at it's core, without all the features which had been added. So, if this is FASTER than TuMa v1.4, it is due to the removal of the 'extra baggage'. If this is the case, then we can start to identify where things are slowing down, and what things slow down the OS for users. This is a VERY good test to have done! :-)

Using this ROM you can see how fast TuMa v1.4 really is underneath! Compare with other ROMs now ... just so you know. 8)

***

There are a number of comments I'd immediately make which would further improve this ROM, and correct a number of mistakes:

1). The display interface elements have been incorrectly specified. This thankfully is not leading to problems, due to the structure and default specifications which have remained in the boot and main registry, which still enable the correct default driver to be loaded. (*)
2). The DDraw, D3D, and D3DM portions rather than being left in the ROM and being left as XIP and only configurable as enabled, have now been used from Ivan's CAB - which is a large degradation in performance. To be honest, I don't know why they were removed?
3). The USSD Services have been removed for some reason. Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a technology unique to GSM. It is a capability built into the GSM standard for support of transmitting information over the signaling channels of the GSM network. USSD provides session-based communication, enabling a variety of applications. This means that the STK service and other direct phone communications services have NO HOPE of ever working on this ROM.
4). The Wireless Monitoring Service has been removed, and replaced with only a WLAN Manager. Not entirely sure why this has been done, but I guess it's a choice.
5). The Camera has been applied and integrated into this ROM. This does however mean that this ROM is NOT recommended for any SX66 users. You will experience the standard 'camera' problems initially, although you would be able to disable the Camera ... eventually as before using the old disabling CAB.
6). The MSN control panel was replaced with the same version, and VGA size bitmaps were used instead. I'm not sure why this has been done. Also, all MSN accounts have to be hotmail.com addresses in this ROM.
7). There is also no RAMDISK in this ROM, so there are no performance benefits from moving the PIE cache or Volatile elements into RAM.
8 ). Additionally the ROM has included the quantum timing improvements from TuMa v1.4, and the configuration fixes, but has not restored the 32Mb lost to the RAMDisk. So only 96Mb of RAM is available instead of 128Mb! Very odd. Was this an oversight?
9). The Widcomm stack has Licencing problems, since it has been integrated not as XIP modules, but as restored DLL's. I get the dreaded "Sorry! Bluetooth can no longer be used because the license is expired." message. *sigh*
10). The Power Applet has been replaced with one which gives a nice checkbox interface ... but the checkboxes are non-functional. Wrong control version (Himalaya has no WiFi, and BA has different Wireless requirements).
11). The 'odd' older incorrect registry settings for the TrueFFS driver have been used. There is no TrueFFS.dll driver available in the ROM, so an entire chunk of configuration is unfortunately still 'irrelevant' in it's own way. It doesn't affect operation though - thanks to the boot registry from TuMa v1.4 being unchanged. This is an ongoing mis-configuration issue in all ROMs since the original.
12). Your "welcomehead.96.png" boot screen/splash is incorrect. It needs to have support for landscape booting. You should fix this!
13). You don't need to include the dogfood provxml, unless you want the MS dogfood certificates installed. They're not required.
14). By restoring the original WMA files for the Ringtones, you're forcing the use of Media Player again, which will result in VERY slow rings - i.e. 3 rings before you hear one yourself.

(*) Tuma v1.4 first implemented this DDI accelleration method, and explicitly did so to achieve greater display performance. This ROM 'by accident' is achieving the same result, whether the 'DDraw_Acceleration.CAB' is used or not. This is because the file "ddi.dll" does not exist in the ROM! So the OS's only recourse during initialization is to use the "ace_ddi.dll" which was (thankfully) still specified as the currently defaulted DDI driver. Otherwise there would be no display!!!

NOTE: Because this ROM is effectively TuMa v1.4 at it's OS Core, the following caveats we identified for the TuMa v1.4 BETA release in using this ROM still apply!

- UPX'd Applications may be causing failures
- Power Manager Bug
- Odd ActiveSync Behaviour & non-communications
- Repllog fills the event reporting
- Interaction of AKU2 elements with AKU0 (repllog.exe Errors / ActiveSync)
- GWES subsystem / IE extensions (may lead to failures)
- Backlight Level/Flickering
- Battery Polling/Timing & Reporting

And the TWO real BIG problems which can lead to PIM data loss ...

- Optimization features to improve speed (Data issues / PIM corruption)
- Filesystem Respecification (FAT instead of TFAT filesystem specification)

I'm still tracking these issues down - but PLEASE if you're testing this ROM, let us know of any of the failures you may experience in the above elements.

***

Also, the Widcomm BT stack has been nicely integrated!!!

This is version 1.7.1.1429 (from a WM5 ROM not 2003SE) which is the one I had extracted from the Acer ROM - although this one used appears to be from a different source. Looking at it briefly it looks like the Widcomm BT elements have been correctly integrated, so I would be _VERY_ interested in hearing how the BT works for others on this ROM!

Obviously the BT shutdown bug is not present by using Widcomm, but I haven't had the chance to test all the profiles (Handsfree, Headset, Wireless Stereo, A2DP, Avrcp integration, Serial/GPS, etc.)

Otherwise, logout has done an excellent job of removing SmartDialer, VoiceDial, ClearVue PDF, Intellipad / T9, Dialpad, POOM, and all of the HTC extensions, Phone Skins/Panels/Controls/etc. and strangely a few other elements which I would consider 'useful' functions and important helpers (SimToolkit, USSD, etc.) ... but everyone has their own preferences. This really is a 'stripped' ROM.

1). The WLAN_MAN.EXE, SoftKey, SMS Alert Fix, Running Programs, file rather than being included in the ROM have been added as CABs.
2). WModem has been taken from Ivan's extraction of TuMa v1.3, and installed as a CAB, which was already contained in v1.4 in an improved form. Not sure why it wasn't just kept?
3). Various media file type support was removed (as per Himalaya types it appears), which eliminates Midi, WML, 3GP, AMR, M4A, M4V, MP4, WMLC and any of the HTC Source Filter extensions available. This means that playback for those file types are not available in WMP10 for this ROM.
4). Ring Tone Plugin Player has been removed which will prevent certain ringtones from being possible to use. However, this is probably a GOOD idea, since using anything other than WAV files will cause your BA to take 3 or more "real" rings before it plays the ringtone for you to hear.
5). WWAN Classes have been removed - not sure why.
6). Contact, notes, PIM integration and support has been removed - again, not sure why.
7). The Himalaya method of using PIE to open images has been used, instead of using the Image Viewer. Personal choice? Not sure.
8 ). SetSecurity was added to the ROM Control Panel, instead of leaving all security elements 'disabled'. The default settings are still 'disabled' by default and properly open, but this panel could serve to confuse users.
9). Strangely, the Widcomm BT settings were not integrated in the same way into the Control Panel ... but not sure - no real comment.
10). Error Reporting (and other annoying things) were left enabled rather than disabled.
11). Strangely the bluetooth context menu has been added everywhere, but of course the actual context menu itself is unregisterable for those applications. I'm not sure what was tried to be achieved here.
12). The Window Classes and hard-coded handles are in the registry for the buttons - I think this was an oversight - but these values are overwritten (thankfully) anyways on startup.
13). The Bluetooth Profile changer is still available in the registry for the Today screen, but the actual DLL isn't present anymore.

The downside to removing these items is that ALL features which were present before will now take up STORAGE SPACE on your device, since you have to install them as additional CAB files!

***

In summary ... to put it quite bluntly ... this ROM is effectively TuMa v1.4 without the features added, and without the extensions. With a bit of fixing as I suggest here, this ROM would be a VERY good 'base' ROM for general usage - by those who want to manually ADD everything to their ROMs.

NOTE: All of the BETA caveats/problems for TuMa v1.4 still apply to this ROM though!!!

A very fine job by logout though ... I think this ROM will be very appreciated by BETA testers! :D

A couple of questions:

1). When will we see a "Rev B" with the fixes I suggest here? You should revert the incorrect registry elements in the main registry to prevent problems though. If you want some help/info on this - just PM me!

2). Would you then be interested in updating / enhancing this ROM with the new TuMa v1.5 base, using the Widcomm Stack and your application / feature removal work? The changes I'm doing now hopefully will address the other issues I'm still researching / fixing from TuMa v1.4.

For any BETA testers ... please keep us up to date on your findings in this thread!

[azinicus]

Great job logout! This is by far the most stable version I've used to date. I have the SX66 variety of BA. Also, I was using TUMA 1.4 prior to this. This ROM is much faster and more stable. Initially, I recieved an error message about the bluetooth license being expired, but that seems to have gone away now. Also, bluetooth handsfree (Jabra 250) is not working 100%. I can't seem to answer calls with the handsfree unit. I have yet to try bluetooth active sync. On that note, active sync seems to work much faster than Tuma as well.

just my 2 cents, thanks again logout.

Update: on soft reset I got an error "A problem has occured with device.exe"

[azinicus]

After reading Tuatara's post, good job both of you...I didn't realize Tuma 1.4 was so heavily involved in this rom. I think what makes this ROM work for me is that a lot of the applications from Tuma 1.4 have been removed thus improving performance and stability for the most part - as per your intention for 1.5 I believe Tuatara. Great job both of you, your work is saving puppies and kittens somewhere in heaven. :wink:

BT problem still there (that is no sound with JABRA BT 250 on phonecall, pairs fine)

[Tuatara]

Well ... that's NOT entirely a 'fair' comment. There are a number of 'issues' which need to be addressed, and most of them can be fixed relatively easily - even just using cleverly crafted post-install CABs! (So get working on the fixes eh? ;-))

Predominantly though, the "dangerous" remaining issues have to do with the OS Core changes I made in TuMa v1.4 ... so they're my bugs in a way - and I'm trying to fix those ones. 8)

Hello logout,
Nice job it is really fast.

[candrat]

I'm having trouble connecting to ActiveSync trhough BT.
I setup a new ActiveSync connection through BT Manager and when I pressed "Finished" there's an error message"

Connection Not Valid
Unable to open the connection '`BlueToothActiveSync'.
This connection is no longer valid or does not exist. Select a different connection and try again.

Does anyone has the same problem?

[Tuatara]

I can't get my ht820 to accept avrcp inputs nor can I get it to accept the ht820 is handsfree mode.

That's because this ROM does not contain the Avrcp or A2DP profiles. They were also removed - predominantly because of the BlueTooth stack removal/change.

There are unfortunately still some problems with the Widcomm stack ... I hope they can be resolved by testers of this ROM - if so, then we could switch TuMa over to it as well - but at present, the Microsoft Stack is far more compatible, and far more reliable in operation.

I'm not sure what is still required to properly support these profiles then - I've not had the chance to test it myself either.

[Stofi]

hi Logout,
you build a very good rom. Only one big problem is inside: Widcomm!
Is it possible get MS BT Stack back?
I don´t need a widcomm Stack, I only need a working BT Stack with my carkit.

hi Logout,

Ummm ... this is what logout has specifically attempted to achieve.

logout's ROM is SPECIFICALLY using the Widcomm BT Stack, and NOT the Microsoft Stack.

This is primarily to address the 'TURN OFF' issue which we have in the Microsoft Stack, and to use Widcomm features instead of Microsoft ones.

logout has also effectively removed all application and integration features and OEM elements from the TuMa v1.4 ROM - creating a very usable BASE ROM for people to add their personal favourite applications to.

Those are the most important points of change to keep in mind when using this ROM!

Hi there, im using Supertooth II as my carkit.
now i find a way to use my Headset profile, it is a simple change under HkLM/software/widcomm/plugin/handsfree/
change "AudioHandling" to 13 decimal (0xD)

After pairing and disconnection,you must connect this Devices manualy in the Bluetooth Manager. For answer and disconnect a call, only use the BA Phonebuttons! it works!

[Stofi]

i forgot to tell, after pairing your devices, push on the Headset symbol leftside from "G", choose settings and you will see only, text for Audiosettings is gone, you can only coose Telefonsetting, choose it!

The battery duration is very impressive, with normal usage i have almost 2 days of total hours 3 hours of phone usage and still have 38% of battery remaning.

One bug i had encontered:
on power menu by pressing the smaal power icon in adjust backlight and then pressing adust power settings it opens the add ring tone menu.

On the phone menu, doesn't have the speed dial button and we can´t assign ring tones or vibrating\ringing styles.

Also the BT doesn't Work very well.

Besides that it´s very stable ande very fast ROM

Keep up the good work

Hi! Logout, thanks you again!

[handroid]

I had like to thank logout for the nice work and tuatara for review and all who care to post comments but could I sugest that we stablish a goal to achive a base rom (wifi, bt and phone being critical), as clear as possible with just the main features, excluding camera and with main issues resolved as in registry, wifi, bt, headset, rings, screen, clear versioning etc... and then release all other stuff as addons, including cam. cheers.

[deepakr]

Hi all,
I have an Itech stereo bluetooth clipset which did not seem to work with TuMa 1.4. However, it works fine with Logout's ROM!!. Speed is comparable with 1.4 (which Tuatara has so eloquently answered as to why). I am a happy camper. Will check to see performance over time unless of course TuMa 1.5 is released. On power off...it still fails..but I feel we are close!

[msuk]

Hi,

Thanks for the great work, I have noticed that sometimes when the screen is switched off it automatically switches on. I have enabled button lock but for some reason the MDAIII wakes up by itself anyone else experience this?

Thanks
Msuk

[MOHDWADEA]

Firstly Thanks to Logout for this Rom and Tuatara for his descriptive review.

Back to Bluetooth..

On incoming calls, you can not answer by pressing the headset. I think this may be because this rom has no way of allowing the PDA to channel/stream the sound to the headset. The components required are available on Himalya.in phone>phone options>where it allows you to send sound to headset after three rings and to auto pickup. I do not know if this would work with future roms for blue angel. It was available on one mamaich port from himalaya however that had a microsoft stack...i wonder if the phone options cpl would work with the widcomm stack and thus not auto stop.

However this may not be the reason why the headset can not pick up a call if the phone rings. Anyone else having this problem? has it working with their heaset..please speak!!!

Thanks for reading

I've noticed the same thing, but the battery life is really good with this ROM, so it's not as big a deal.

Yeah - the screen switching on is the Power Management 'bug' I introduced in v1.4. You'll notice that it stays on for EXACTLY 15 seconds, and then turns off again. Heh ... this is the maintenance thread running in the background, and I mistakingly turn on the screen when it's running. Ooops.

As for battery usage - YESSS! - that's VERY good news to hear, because it means that I've sorted out (except for the maintenance wakeup) the other power usage issues, and we should get back excellent battery life for the ROMs, and still have fast ring times (when using WAV files).

Hi,

When trying to pair my Nokia HDW-3 BT headset kit it fails the Service discovery - any ideas how I can get around this?

[foxtrot2]

Many thanks to both Tuatara and Logout for this Rom.

strangly i don't face the screen turning on after switching off issue.

but for some reason my device won't auto standby after 1min after mating the necessary settings under the power management.

one more thing would be the WiFi resume tweak, when i set to to auto resume after returning from suspend, the device would always turn on WiFi no matter if the previous state was WiFi on or off.

anyone any idea why i'm facing thises strange probs or is it jus me?

[alexanderi]

upgraded to this ROM for 2nd day and so far the backup battery issue still there. If my device is off overnight, the next morning when powering on, the notification "Backup Battery Low" prompts.

Other than that, it is pretty lean and good. Thanks.

i got the CAB file for the Device Lock application for WM5
download it from here

I have tried this application and nothing happens? I have checked suspend in settings then I choose device lock from programs and nothing happens. There is also no today plugin with the lock symbol. Any ideas?? I am using a BA PH20B branded XDA 2s running WM 5 / Microsoft BT stack - Artz ROM.

ROM v5.4.1 base on Ivan and Tuma rom:

Hello.

Can you explain what the following cabs in your extended rom folder do before I load them?

D3D_Driver_Addon.cab
DDraw_Acceleration.CAB
ResInfo.ARM.CAB
Running_Progs_Inst.CAB

Also do you have an isolated cab version of the today lock plugin that works?

Keep up the good work - from Sydney down under...
Regards,
Simon

Thanks for the rom, it's the best so far.

Using wlan to browse the internet is still alot slower than 2003. I am using sx66. Is there any setting I could use to speed up the speed of loading pages?

thx

I'm having a hard time syuncing Emails from outlook with this ROM. If I turn on this option, I get an error "8007000d" in ActiveSync 4.1 (tried 4.2 as well). I googled it up and it seems to be a Windows Media Player bad data error.

Bluetooth: I had no problems pairing it with the Moto hs850. However, when I use it during a conversation, the voice gets transferred from the headset to the phone within seconds. Comes back on when I hit the icon, and then it drops back to the cell phone again.

The D3D really slowed down my system, I wldn't recommend it.

This ROM is working great, but I've noticed that the WLAN driver doesn't seem to support WPA, only WEP is supported. Is there a way to add WPA support?

I don't not here to complain, but to explain all the tragedy happened to me after installing this ROM

Before I begin, let me go to my BlueAngel ROM flashing history ...

1st I use Tuma1.3 I found it slow and lagging, can't play MP3, so I changed to Ivan R3.3. Found it fast, but the version I got was having the MSN Messenger problem. Planned to change to R4, but end up using Logout ROM after looking at other ppl comment. And this is how the tragedy start.

I had experienced 4 times after installing this ROM where when the Windows Error which required reporting pop up ... some that moment onward, no matter how many times I reset, I will nvr get the phone back, even the SIM password menu will no pop up anymore. Worst of all, I can't even reach the "contact" page any longer. The 1st 3 times was okay, becoz I always sync with my pc where my contacts are still there. But the 4th times, I really feel like crying after the happened and my PC HDD crash at the same time. I lost all my business contacts ... hundreds of them without having them storing in other place. If anyone of you know why does this happen to me, please let me know ... now I changed back to Ivan's ROM ... if shit still happens I will give up totally and go back to WM2003se ... really hope someone can help enlighten me

I have personally found this the best of a WM5 ROM's...

I have managed to install the Blueangel MMS Client and no Probs there..

Also had a MSN Messagner Problem but that was MSN and not the ROM...

It is fast,stable, the bluetooth A2DP is great also GPS is good aswell Mapopolis..

I use the THB Bury Carkit and the sound is now more clearer than previously....

I had a few problems (No more than WM2003SE) with Activesync but upgraded to Beta 4.2 and has removed a great deal of issues.


The battery life is better as is the screen resoultion, so it looks as though I will be sticking with the rom for a while, I no longer use the BT Carkit so that is no an issue...

So thanks Logout and look foward to your new ROM your the Man :D

[brice]

Dunno what might have happened but personnally I use plaxo (www.plaxo.com) to back up my contacts online...
It syncs with outlook which your ppc syncs with.
This way if anything goes wrong then all you have to do is resync outlook with plaxo then your ppc with outlook... :P

Take care,

brice

[markitosgv]

[jelty]

Phreakazoidz, if you read the rest of this post, you'll see that Tuatara said that:
the STK service and other direct phone communications services have NO HOPE of ever working on this ROM.

[Phreakazoidz]
