AKU2.3 works well on BA - Big thanks to Bepe

[remixme]

Tested Helmi's Rom:
Roaming LED being on in flight mode bug is present, as is Media player stuttering.
The Backlight slider does nothing.
Wireless seems barely Okay; although there is an annoying today flicker when it is searching for networks sometimes. And the whole device slows to a crawl when active, and actually becomes a bit unstable, I noticed at least one hard crash.


Camera: Stills and Video work fine at first glance, but there is a bug where the camera display gets rotated 90 degress, at least one other person has noticed this.

It is reproducable:
Go into Camera, take a photo, view it in album, then hit close and load the camera again. You'll find the display rotated 90 degrees;
I loaded the camera using the icon, and the button, you'll find if you try and take a photo with the the display rotated it will fail.

@logout

any chance you could upload your test rom? at least so that we can compare the bugs between the different roms... i see from your images at the start of this thread that you have wifi showing in the comms manager, which is something noone else has managed to do...

[emwede]

Sorry, I had no BA to test that... but I did the hex edit...
Perhaps I did something wrong, so please use the 2.00a.00 version, cos that one is not hex-edited...

Could someone help me to create the 32 and 64 versions.
List of HEX-addresses and values would be nice…

Hi midget just tested your tonughts stuff 20060712-2303 and it has is the slowest startmenu I ever had on this device. Any recomendations how to fix that?

[bepe]

I've fixed the 32 MB ROM package, should be ok now.
Please let me know whether it’s working or not...

The 64 MB version was already ok

[spkr4thdd]

... of all the issues above the only one I really want sorted is A2DP, but I'm considering a flash of TuMa 1.4 which had the A2DP working and getting the reg entries etc from that and building an OEM pkg...

Quoting myself is lame I know, but...

Do you guys think this will work? If we're working on an AKU2.3 ROM and TuMa's was AKU1 with 'other bits' will the registry settings/dll's that worked with that ROM be portable to the new ones?

[KTamas]

Flashing a clean 64/64 ROM now, I hope it works...
Edit: stuck @ white screen again :( trying the new 96/32 soon.
Edit2: 96/32 is stuck @ white screen too.

[emwede]

Hi, it realy ist true what was written above, the "slow startmenu" problems are solved as soon as you set al sound notifications in setting to "OFF"

[spkr4thdd]

@midget

have you managed to get the RAMDisk ROM's sorted?

[Midget_1990]

only 96/32, i/we dont know the correct hex values for the 64/64 one.

[emwede]

Hi bepe, tried the 32MB RD Version from this afternoon (WITH GER LOC + AKU2.3) and get stuck on the 4color bar screen. Whereas the 00_RD Version works great for me (execept I got trouble with setting up certificates for push mail correctly - buts another story an OT here.)

[a771la]

now i working at wifi.... and it work :)

[spkr4thdd]

do you mean the wifi itself works or that you can control it from the conn manager app?

[thingonaspring]

Hi All,

New version of the TEST_PATCHED Rom is up here.
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blue%20Angel/AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_3.zip

WLan control panel now works. Please report if you can connect to a WLan or not.
Backlight control panel also works. Note that there are 2 backlight panels, if anyone can tell me how to get rid of the useless one, please do!
Stupid IE "-b" bug is fixed.
Speed is very much improved via the recommended fsreplstorecache, fatcache and datacache tweaks, plus modifications to the ati chipset timings.

Camera is broken, crashes on taking a picture. Fixing this now.
MSN messenger still not working, fixing this now.

[ThExSenatoR]

This is very strange guys. I also tried Helmi's rom, and I found that the best rom regarding to responsiveness and overall operating speed (feeling). I never had any lockups with Helmi's rom nor with AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_2 and Ramdisk was always working flawlessly, and never faced to the problem being stuck at the "white screen".
I hope, this project will be successfull, coz so many great guys are working on this rom for us (the community). Im sorry, but I'm unable to continue the testing at the moment, because I have to use my BA heavily until friday evening, so I can continue the testing tomorrow :)
Thumbs up !! :)

[Black6spdZ]

I'm currently testing a build using the Bepe 64/64, UPX LOC, the UNI and Wiz SAPs, BA Buttonfix, MMS, and WM5 Storage. added optimizations and temp file relocations to the 64m ramdisk rgu.
I like the comm manager better from those SAPs but still wondering how to enable the greyed features

How did you get the 64/64 version work?

[hasanj4]

@ spkr4thdd

comm manager application seems ok for WIFI,
but WIFI itself does not work

[Black6spdZ]

using the files from buzzdev.net: 64mb ROM, 2.3 UPX WWE LOC, 2.3 WWE OS and BA DEV 1.00, that should get your base working.. I've added the BA_Button fix OEM package that I modified and uploaded last night to the uploads/BA..

thingonaspring:

Having tested pretty much the majority of the 2.3 roms, yours are definitely my favourite so far.

The wifi on AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_3 does work in a roundabout way:

If I click the icon in the bottom right hand corner and hit enable, it pretty much hangs searching for networks. Whereas a few other WM5 roms I have tested, find the 3 wireless networks in range straightaway.

If I go through the Wireless manager, goto wireless setting and add the setting for my wireless network manually, then I get a connection with excellent signal, in fact the signal bar is 100% which I have never seen before with this setup.

The two bugs that drive me mad are still present:

Roaming LED on in flight mode.
Stuttering in Media Player on the first 10 seconds of MP3 Playback

YES! FINALLY! IT IS WORKING! Thanks :)

[mpman2k]

For all roms made from bepe's BA rom, the Windows Media Player seems to take ALL the avaliable memory space on the device as buffer. Hence, at the beginning of mp3 or video play black, the player buffer the media to memory until no space left on device (lag while playing). After there is no space left on device to buffer, the media play smoothly. How can we turn off the buffering for media player?

Downloading and flashing ASAP :)

[Midget_1990]

same, we might as well use yours, mine is about a day behind :P

[Midget_1990]

could you .zip your dev folder and upload that too?

[KTamas]

could you .zip your dev folder and upload that too?
Yes, I'm interested in that too.

[spkr4thdd]

OK, am flashing Helmi's latest ROM and will see how it is...

I have flashed TuMa 1.4 again tonight and the A2DP works on that out of the box, so I've dumped the reg settings and all the dll's related to it and will see what I can come up with (comparison tonight, then perhaps package tomorrow), I'm getting hopeful for this, each release seems to be getting closer to the 'right' one, I just don't have the knowledge just now to actually edit the base ROM...

EDIT: OK, Helmi new ROM, A2DP has same issue as last time... WiFi, once turned on is controllable by the Conn Manager (as stated above), so we're moving in the right direction, off to check the BT reg entries and DLL's now for A2DP...

[helmi_c]

could you .zip your dev folder and upload that too?

I dont do with dev folder Midget_1990 I do it by hand..just the begining (MMS, SmartDial)

but u can always extract, strip, and modify from it off course.

btw can i ask u a favor? if u think this release is not stable, please edit the quantum to default setting (4B) and repost it? cos my net always havin problem with big file, thats why i hv a delay with posting ROM...

that whould be helpfull if u compare them. if doesnt work , please take file sbc.dll, bta2dp.dll, and Avrcp_MPplugin.dll from tuma and If u dont mind please sent me those file and maybe the registry difference... try this location.

I gotta do some tests tomorrow but so far so good.

[Midget_1990]

been using everything i can think of on helmi_c's rom, there are a few bugs but overall this is an AMAZING rom.

bugs i have found: wifi in comm manager only after wifi has been started before (about starting wifi during boot up, i know from earlier rom tht this makes the boot take about 5 mins, so dont bother)

pocket msn wont sign in (when wifi is working i can test my possible fix)

although the ram is 64mb, the ramdisk is only 32mb, should be 64mb.

duplicate programs (2 versions of sim contacts and STK)

missing WMP from Programs (i have a fix)

is the BT tray needed as it works via comm manager?

also i de-compiled the rom (old way) and i have noticed that many of the speed hacks i have been collecting are not included, if you want me to send you them ask (thanks to KTamas for helping me collect them)

and finally, have you though about moving temporary files (in mxip_notify.vol) to ramdisk for a faster device?

[Midget_1990]

the dev folder method is more organised and much easier, IF it works properly. the main problems i've been having are not the actual fixes to problems, but the tempremental behaviour of the 'new' method.

could you then post the registry entries/files/entry in initflashfiles.dat for the working camera/album (preferably seperatly), Cert Patch, VerifyFile Patch, VerifyCab Patch, Extended_ROM Support, fixed brightness slider, fixed 'about', any performance tweaks, No Skiping In Windows Media and you button 5 (IE) config?

if you could i will turn them into/upgrade current oem packages for myself and others to use,

Thanks! :)

<<wifi in comm manager only after wifi has been started before
thats a known issues. Cos CommManager Use WirelessService with is read WMS, and WirelessMgr read AP1 cant resolve that.

<<although the ram is 64mb, the ramdisk is only 32mb, should be 64mb.
Damn.. I do it in a hurry, cos originaly its 32mb version, i just edit the default.hv and i forgot to change the registry in the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RAMDisk]
"Size"=dword:2000000
maybe fix can be added 2 extended_rom or maybe u can edit that?

btw if u see from the memory applet in control panel u'll see the system memory remain?

<<duplicate programs (2 versions of sim contacts and STK) isnt that a different app? or maybe I dont understand ur question...

<<missing WMP from Programs (i have a fix)
Windows media is on \StartMenu not in \StartMenu\Programs Midget_1990 :)

<<is the BT tray needed as it works via comm manager?
BT doesnt hv a problem anyway u like.

i can make a cab if you send me the correct entry (or is that it?)


<<duplicate programs (2 versions of sim contacts and STK) isnt that a different app? or maybe I dont understand ur question...


sim manager and sim contacts do exactly the same thing, just look different and I have 'orange plus' and 'sim toolkit' both of which do the same thing.


<<missing WMP from Programs (i have a fix)
Windows media is on \StartMenu not in \StartMenu\Programs Midget_1990 :)

usually it's in both and people reported that as an error for my rom so i think it should be done.

[spkr4thdd]

OK, having compared the registry files of TuMa 1.4 and the new Helmi 2.3 ROM the only major differences with regards to A2DP are as follows...

In TuMa 1.4 we have the following...

As you will see from the above, the A2DP driver doesn't seem to be active within the Helmi ROM for some reason, although its entries within the HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\ is identical in both ROM's... in addition, probably because the driver isn't active, a channel isn't allocated to the A2DP profile...

I've a feeling that this may hold the key!

@Helmi, would you believe that I can't find the sbc.dll from TuMa's ROM!! I'll flash it again and get it to you as soon as, but it may not be necessary if we can activate the BtA2dpSnd driver in yours... I'm off to try an manually add the missing entry, and then I'll try again... will update soon ;)
EDIT : Nope, can't add to the active drivers list... it's volatile (doh!), so something is preventing the BtA2dpSnd.dll from starting up...

[willpower102]

I don't know if anyone has actively monitored the ramdisk but it seems that 32 would be enough if not still a little over what's required. Is a 64mb ramdisk overkill?

[Yaantra]

I second that!

[KTamas]

No, it is not, if you want a little more storage space.

[willpower102]

No, it is not, if you want a little more storage space.
That doesn't make any sense. Does it?
Less ramdisk = more storage space,
less storage = more ramdisk.

So why would having a 64mb ramdisk give you more storage space?
Are you installing things to the ramdisk?
I thought you didn't want to do this because everytime you change your battery, bam, all your stuff gone.

Maybe i'm confused :?

[sayadil]

I don't know if anyone has actively monitored the ramdisk but it seems that 32 would be enough if not still a little over what's required. Is a 64mb ramdisk overkill?
No, it is not, if you want a little more storage space.

I believe 32mb should be enough as well. for more storage i would suggest SDcard.
I haven't tried this rom as yet.... but i tried the other new release AKU 2.3 but preferred IVAN with Ramdisk for its speed and stability..
ANY Early Comparisons with this one... anyone who's tried IVAN's RAMdisk and this one....

No, it is not, if you want a little more storage space.

I would be willing to install programs to the ramdisk if I knew it was still backed up by the backup battery long enough to switch batteries.. I've had a couple wm5 roms seem to keep it for a short while and others its wiped as soon as you flip the battery latch.. this is the only reason I can see a 64mb ramdisk usefull as 64mb of IE cache would be way overkill.. can anything else be cached?

[Tuatara]

OMG!

KTamas alerted me to this thread ... you all have been very busy!

This is so cool. Bepe is the MAN! I still had been unable to replace the coredll file in the XIP section of the BA, and he's been able to do this! Again, lots of thanks apparently go to mamaich for his help in doing this (and in my opinion is the father of all these BA ROMs!) ... AKU2.3 here we go!!!

I'll be downloading things myself tonight and piggy-backing Bepe's and Helmi's work and merging it with the current state of the TuMa v1.5 development. The work I've done on the drivers/registry implements a number of fixes which I see are still being experienced in the current ROMs. Hopefully I'll be able to implement the speed/performance tweaks too - but that's dependant on how different the AKU2.3 ROM is from the AKU1.x/0.x versions.

Hopefully I'll find some time this weekend in order to help out - at least some time during the waiting for "peanut" to arrive.

Good luck everyone! I'll be watching for fixes/updates and will release anything I find as well.

hey helmi_c,

great rom man u must have spent lots of times on it :) , i found that even after i exit let say Album, it's still actively running under Running Program. I am not sure whether this is a bug or something else but plz check.

also i have 2 suggestions, 1. is it possible for you to put the clock back to the top bar rather on the same bar with date. 2. the battery meter icon, is it possible to move to the bottom taskbar just like wireless/bluetooth icons, Ivan has a good battery meter icon though.

thanks man,

[Black6spdZ]

i kinda wish all the icons were in the taskbar.. they stay on top of any program thats runs and just look like they are in the right place

i found that even after i exit let say Album, it's still actively running under Running Program. I am not sure whether this is a bug or something else but plz check.

thats happens allways in all rom (inc 2003se) unless you have a 3rd party util (like spb pocket plus) that makes it actually end the processes.


1. is it possible for you to put the clock back to the top bar rather on the same bar with date.


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1


2. the battery meter icon, is it possible to move to the bottom taskbar just like wireless/bluetooth icons, Ivan has a good battery meter icon though.
do the above to get rid of the new one and then copy 'powertray.exe' to '\windows' and 'powertray.ink' to '\windows\startup'

then soft reset

[splonker]

Has anyone tried all the different roms which people have built? I really want to try them but where do I start?! lol!

[Midget_1990]

helmi_c's is the best (in terms of bug fixes) atm, but i have found it to be a little unstable, especially when plying audio (his media player 'fix' was to set audio priority as 1)

[imatrix]

hey Midget_1990,

it worked man. thanks a lots

i am gonnat try to arrange the icons in order :)

btw, Midget_1990 how do you create a trayicon?

Rom: Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_64mb
Phone: ph20b1 sx66

I've extensively tested many of the wm5 and wm3 roms on the site. The one i'm recently coming from (becuase of the speed) is Ivan 1.11 w/ ramdisk.

Some quick observations.

[good]
-wifi networks show encrytion type
-network browsing works
-Wifi connect very fast to whatever network i choose
-wifi seemlessly switches between secure and non secured AP's in the same area (when i ask it to) ...had severe problems with this in several other roms.

[bad]
-phone lags with screen or keypad dialing.
(turning off phone tones seems to help a little)
(turning off smart dialing helps a LOT)
-don't see a reason for com manager on the today screen and the wifi / bt on the taskbar (i know i can turn it off, but what's it good for anyway?)
-Phone seems to bog down with wifi turned on

-overall operating feels quite a bit faster than logout 5.4.05, but still slower and less responsive than ivan 1.11. Opening menus and programs still feels more sluggish than ivans. (this is even with all sounds on the device disabled)

more to come, 5am@gmt-5 = too damn late! :D

If I could work out how to make a tray icon my solution to that would be to have comm manager as one (a la universal etc) however we'd still need the WiFi trayicon until the 'must start wifi first to enable in comm manager' issue gets fixed!

like spkr4thdd said, and its a standar pack, I personaly dont use wireless plug-in on the today, its slows thing down. for me better use tray, its straight to the point. or use directly with startmenu icon. btw there is a tray icon to launch CommManager but wifi doesnt work (wont turn on)

Just remove CM from today screen, wireless manager on today frequenly refresh itself and it will reduce performance (very depend on coverage quality as u can see)

btw my 'fix' that u said is suppost to be support A2DP with good quality sound. and this is the rest off quality hack for A2DP:

with that setting it A2DP should produce a clear and clean sound... but sadly, A2DP didnt work... yet... but we workin on it right?

Ok, i can't get to sleep. So what better to do.
[still on rom Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_64mb]

I had the pda connected to the pc with wifi enabled and activesync on, of course. When i dissconnected it i got all sorts of problems.

-For one, something i forgot to mention earlier, activesync running after a disconnect severely slows down my system.
-After i disconnected, activeync was still showing in the top menu with the spinning arrows.
-Clicking on it showed activesync as still connected. Did not go away.
-wifi said connected, vxIPConfix showed a good IP
-ie would get and error locating page: ok
-closed active via shutdown menu under running progs.
-activesync activity icon still showing in menu.
-Cycled wifi, off and on:
-activesync activity went away and was replaced by wifi activity.
-wifi works fine now.
wierd. :? i don't think the reset on resume hack would fix this.

I tried to replicate this bug. When i pulled the device off activesync the second time it still ran ridiculously slow for about 30 seconds, had lots of flashes of all the icons on the screen, but it stayed connected to the wifi just fine.

Once when this problem was happening the device tried to standby while i was waiting for a page to load.
-I tapped the screen thinking it was going dark: no response
-hit a button to make it resume: no response
-tapped a few more things and then finally it resumed very slowly and just about froze opening things with my clicks from 30 seconds ago.

After i got everything running fine again i decided to test the wifi reset on resume hack.
The hack works fine, but after resuming there is a good 10-15 seconds where you can't do anything and the machine crawls. Didn't have this problem on ivan 1.11. What's making this happen?

I noticed that the wifi manager has been replaced in the connections tab by the comm manager. Then when you open up the comm mangaer you are required to go through a wifi settings pop-up menu to get to the wireless lan manger.

[edit] you answered this while i was typing :oops: So is there anyway to get the wireless lan manager back into the connections tab (instead of comm manager) without recompiling?

A premlinary step in troubleshooting network issues is checking for a good ip. So i find myself going back and fourth between the wireless lan manager and an external ipconfig program. Is there anyway to go back to a wm3 style version as the default wifi manager? This is so that you will get the ip displayed on the connection info screen. Would going back to this style manager affect the connectivity at all?

[saw the rom pop up a little while ago. i'm going to install it and play with it while i read up on sleep disorders :cry: ]

[notes]
oh, an "should" i use the ram disk to install anything? I was going to install pocket hack master and considering installing it there since it's a very active program? is this a good idea?

Does the ramdisk empty on a soft reset?

Btw: i don't know what you did different, but this rom is AWESOME!
• Testing Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_32mb
• Immediately notice less time between a hard reset and the config screen
• The screen icon is not lagging across the screen at all!
• The buttons respond and go to the next screen Instantly when I click them
• (this is all faster than Ivan 1.11 and very close to wm3)
• boot time is faster than anything so far
• softreset again because It’s asking if I want to install stuff from my old ext rom. (forgot to resize)
• first start menu click is faster as well
• notice under settings. First click on system and connection tabs lags a bit
• closed and opened again, no lag now
• “adjust power settings to conserve power” from brightness menu encounters an error
“the file ‘power’ cannot be opened. Either it is not…. Blah blah, …reinstall or restore this file”
• Power has no backup battery reading
• WOAH, screen rotate works FAST with little lag.
• Ok, how the hell to I get rid of the screen rotate icon?
• Phone dialing has only minor lag with smart dialing
• With smart dialing turned off phone has absolutely no lag
• Wifi switches effortlessly between AP’s and assigns correct ip’s without a problem.
• Wifi doesn’t SEEM to slow down the device (this even happened on Ivan 1.11)
• Sweet; reset on resume is already enabled.
• Network browsing works fine.
• One thing I noticed is that all the wifi tabs update in real time.
(some roms different wifi info tabs would only update when you left them and came back.)
• Active syncing now.

•
• PROBLEM: I disconnected from activecync
• Immediately enabled wifi.
• System lagged heavily for a good 30 seconds while it was turning on
• The entire system has slowed down. Feels about like ivans now. Maybe a little slower, hard to tell without another device.
• Activesync icon with two arrows is still active in the status area.
• When clicked on says “activesync connected”
• Disabling wifi doesn’t seem to improve.
• Can’t tell if it helped the speed or not, doesn’t seem like it
• ACTIVESYNC STILL SAYS IT’S CONNECTED and has rotating syncing arrows…
• Turning on wifi makes the activesync syncing icon go away.
• Can’t tell if it improves speed
• Turned wifi off. Active sync still says it’s syncing, It’s NOT running.
• Soft resetting.
• Booted a little slower than the first soft reset.
• Turned wifi off before reset, now it’s back on! Strange.
• Active sync icon is gone, just G icon now. still seems to run a little slow.
•
• To make sure it’s not just me.
• Hard reset.
• Ok, it’s not just me, I can tell a difference. Just clicking the start menu over and over is
Consistently fast. A min ago, it would lag a on every second or third click.
• Doing my initial activesync first this time before enabling wifi or anything else.
• This time I’m going to take it out and let it sit for a minute before doing anything else.
• I pulled the device off after syncing and this time it went back to G just fine without needing to sit or anything.
• No system lag is apparent.
• This is twice that something like this has happened, just not in the same pattern leading to it. (but close!)
•
• Well, after the first activesync the device slows down a little bit. But still at least as fast if not faster than Ivan 1.11 w/ ramdisk. It definitely has more functionality!

I think this is due to the wifi resume fix. I know that was the reason i do not use that fix, just prefer to restart wifi.

I don't know if anyone has actively monitored the ramdisk but it seems that 32 would be enough if not still a little over what's required. Is a 64mb ramdisk overkill?
No, it is not, if you want a little more storage space.

As far as available RAM for running programs 64MB looks like it would be enough. With about 6 programs open (including Destinator for GPS, PIE and Messaging) RAM used was 32.8MB. Most likely people would not have that many apps open at the same time so theoretically 64MB of memory should be enough. If the Ramdisk is able to survive a soft reset that would be better still.

[Black6spdZ]

helmi_c, can you zip and uplaod your DEV folders for that latest build?

1. can we just remove the today screen comm manager if its nothing but trouble?
2. can the smart dialing be removed?
3. anyone tried marking the AS log readonly so the system cannot make all the writes to the ROM memory

[ThExSenatoR]

I don't know if so theoretically 64MB of memory should be enough. If the Ramdisk is able to survive a soft reset that would be better still.

ummm...efjay is right. 64 MB *is* enough, since you have 45 MB available after a soft reset and that is more than enough indeed. And RAMdisk is really useful for me when I'm downloading pictures from another SD card for example.

@efjay: Yes, the ramdisk can hold the data after the softreset.

Wow, this is an excellent release. Two problems which I have noticed - mainly Activesync doesn't realise it has stopped syncronising. Also, a weird one... I set up a password to come into effect when it is inactive for 1 min or more, and then I began to send a text. Half way through typing the text it went onto the password screen as if to say I hadn't been using the phone in a minute, which I had.

Love the speed of it though!!! Really is fastest rom I have had - faster than PPC2003 I think. Media Player fix is the icing on the cake - been longing for that for a while. Really really is fast! Haven't tried bluetooth or WIFI as yet - need to find my bloody WEP code... I know I wrote it down somewhere...........

Do you have these programs installed on ramdisk, and running from there?
I'm just seeing getting this kind of usuage out of it. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. I don't "see" any extra files on the ramdisk. Are they hidden and only show up in the memory manager?

willpower102, i was just trying to show what kind of memory (RAM) consumption could be expected when running multiple apps with 64MB of RAM, to answer the question if a 64MB Ramdisk is overkill and would leave the device short of memory. I'm not currently running the AKU 2 test rom. All the installed apps were installed to my Storage memory.

[Black6spdZ]

well.. didn't I remember seeing a backup util in one of tuma's roms? If there is a program to backup the ramdisk to SD I think we're set...
I'd also like to put my input into what I see as a final product. I would hope we will put all of the absolutely required fixes/patches/updates for BA functionality in a BA DEV SAP. This would mean minimum items needed and not any extra software from personal preference. This way we will be able to have a WM5 rom kitchen and add/or be able to custom build your personal ROM. What will we do when AKU2.5 comes? ;)

[xplode]

i am happy to see that there is constant development of aku 2.3 roms
but i have a little question
is there any progress on pocket msn bug ?

[spkr4thdd]

I've taken a look at it in the short time I've had without visitors tomight, and there seems to be at least a couple of reg entries missing and possibly some other stuff... comparing it to a ROM which works shows that there are no MSN Mobile entries in the Transport entries for TCP or HTTPS... I've tried adding them in but it still says the Service is unavailable, so a little more investigation is called for...

[thingonaspring]

Pocket MSN is a real problem that we simply have to fix. It's present in my variant of the Ivan ROM too, so I'm working on it. Hopefully the fix for both Ivan and AKU2.3 will be simillar.

While I'm typing - many thanks to ktamas for his recent ROM release, I'm learning a lot from it.

[Black6spdZ]

I say find a CAB installer for MSN and remove it from the base rom

[spkr4thdd]

Perhaps when he get's the time Tuatara could take a look... he had both Pocket MSN and A2DP working in his 1.4 ROM... personally I'm stumped with A2DP atm, and I've only started looking at Pocket MSN, but it looks just as confusing... apert from the 2 reg entries I mentioned everything seems to be there, definitely needs a closer look.

[willpower102]

@efjay: I understand now. So the system is set up well enough that programs installed will by default cache in the ramdisk? If so then that's terrific. (i haven't relly studied up on how the ramdisk works :oops: )

A little update on my phone usage. I overclocked to 530 mhz and see a minimal increase in the main OS. Keep in mind i have an sx66 (not originally w/ camera). I don't know if that's the problem or not.

So far i've done wifi browsing for several hours, gprs browsing, several syncs, Opening and closing almost all the programs on the device, force killing IE and many other resource hogs when not needed and just leaving the basics running in the background. After a half a day of use the device is pretty much spot on par with Ivan 1.11. This is good and bad, it's good because it has network browsing capabilities and a few other quirks fixed. But it's bad because i was REALLY excited with the initial speed after a fresh install. I mean it was running faster than i've EVER seen it run before in wm5, and definitely on par with wm3. This slowdown from the initial install is noticeable even after 30 minutes of full and complete usage. (accessing all the features, activesync, wifi, IE browsing and sleeping several times)

I think the initial slowdown comes either after the first time the device resumes from sleep and/or after the first time the device leaves activesync.

What do you think is causing it to slow down so much after these?

One main gauge i use is the smart dialing reverts back to being slow. Not NEAR as slow as in the first release, but about as slow as ivan's. So i've turned that off in the settings. Dialing is faster now. Still not as good as a clean install.

[spkr4thdd]

@willpower102

Not sure if you've read these (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=322814#322814), linked earlier in this thread, but they give a pretty good run down of the issues of having a non-native WM5 PDA and the slowdowns etc and the pros/cons of moving stuff around different storage types... not sure if all the hacks are present in our ROM's...

[Black6spdZ]

Just a recap on that link I posted earlier
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=130456

As has already been pointed out, you must reduce the number of files in the main storage. You, however, must also make sure you update/ delete/ write files in there as rarely as possible."

download his reg optimizations and try them out.. I haven't gone through to examine everything in detail but I am positive all of our ROM slowdowns are due to the facts stated in his article.

[Black6spdZ]

helmi.. is it me or am I missing some memory? using the 32mb ramdisk beta rom I only have 60mb or program memory.. shouldn't we be seeing around 96mb?

[Midget_1990]

It's present in my variant of the Ivan ROM too

really? in the latest versions of ivans it was working fine, this leads me to believe that its not a software problem, maybe MSN messenger servers changed in preparation for windows live messenger or something?

[spkr4thdd]

One in particular caught my eye...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys]
"TempPath"="\\SD Card\\Volatile"

Surely we could set this to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys]
"TempPath"="\\RAMDisk\\Volatile"

to make more use of the RAMDisk?

[Black6spdZ]

so here it is in plain english.. we must store as much data on the ramdisk as possible to keep the filesys.exe compaction thread from running and slowing the system down. yes, the author of that article doesn't reference ramdisk because it must have been written before the ramdisk was available evidently.. but SD memory cards use NAND ROM memory so its much faster than the internal NOR but not faster than it could be with RAM used in ramdisk

I used Pocket MSN as a test earlier today when I flashed TuMa 1.4 to get some dll's and reg entries... it worked fine, I then reflashed helmi_c's 32MB Ramdisk (which is actually the 64MB version Black6spdZ! Don't ask why!?!?) and compared the reg entries etc... there were no MSN Mobile TCP or HTTPS Transport entries on helmi's ROM so I added them, as they were the only difference I could see straight off, but no luck...

I'm seeing some weird things over here on the Axim site.. take a look at these posts on the next few pages
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=104366&page=51

Most of those tweaks are already in Tuma 1.3, including moving filesys to the ramdisk - they arent really new, probably just need to be added to the new beta roms.

Also the MSDN articles is basically saying use a Ramdisk - use RAM as storage memory.

[Black6spdZ]

I'd be willing to superglue my SD in place if it the ROM image could be booted from it and was significantly faster.. but I assume the bootloader would have to be modified?

[Black6spdZ]

I've noticed my phone slowing down recently so instead of just doing a hard reset I uninstalled all the software that was previously in ROM and re-installed it to the SD. like a fresh phone again and very fast.. minimize the writes to the ROM and it won't slow down...

[Midget_1990]

about a2dp, has anyone tried this?

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showpost.php?p=1077415&postcount=1

[spkr4thdd]

Yeah, I think it was originally posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48491)... I assume the cab they mention includes the dll's and reg entries from the xda-dev post...

This 'fix' gives the same issue as every other one we've tried so far, available as service, but not available to select/activate...

helmi_c and I have been talking 'offline' about this and comparing reg entries/services/dlls etc to see how TuMa got it working there seems to be more differences than I first thought, but it's a pain trying to sort it all out.. as far as I can see, if we can get the BtA2dpSnd.dll to be an 'active' service as well as a 'builtin' one then we should be half way there, it just doesn't seem to activate once the pairing is complete :(

[Black6spdZ]

what was the fix for the wireless not being able to search for access points?

[helmi_c]

PocketMSN Fix and SSL has been release... try it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56287&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

can someone test it with Exchange Server, push, ssl? since I fix most the sertificates issues there..

[xplode]

helmi_c is the fix only for your rom or for all aku 2.3 roms? Because on mine it does not work, still get "Pocket MSN sign-in failed. Tap here to try again."

well, as we all know and I said earlier, bepe ROM and me are different... but u can use it with some modification first on OS part.
maybe u should wait for bepe to modified/update it.

[a771la]

there aren't new roms? :lol:

[spkr4thdd]

Okay, I have been using Helmi's ROM for a while now and love it, but I'd really like the full storage space (90+) with the 32MB RAMDisk... I want to try and build my own ROM with the apps I always install already done, I have downloaded the RAMDisk CAB from the FTP site, is all I need to do add that to my ROM or do I need to edit anything else to prevent storage conficts etc?

And if I fail miserably (quite likely!) is there anything I can do to free up the missing 32MB in Helmi's ROM?

Just so you know. I have tested it with the Exchange Server (Push), and it works now. The SSL certificate checks in fine, and it works. I get push email from my work exchange server with no problems.

Just thought I'd share... I have not tried MSN, and maybe later...

Thank you!

[cso5874]

Okay.... I also checked to see if the MSN would work, and indeed, I can log into the MSN Messenger in the Pocket MSN.

So... Hmm... There was one more thing that I placed in the certification... I do not know if that was the kicker that helped out with Helmi's ROM, but I am going to include it here, since it is just a certificate root for Verisign.

[Midget_1990]

is there anything I can do to free up the missing 32MB in Helmi's ROM?

no idea how to make the ramdisk bigger but I know how to get the 32mb back as program memory. it involves hex editing the unencrypted NK.nba. 0x207c14 from 94 to 96 and 0x207c18 from 40 to 60.

Cheers, I'll try that when I get the time... need the BA for work loads over the next 48hrs so I'm gonna leave her as she is just now...

EDIT: BTW, although I can't get Pocket MSN, or Internet over WiFi (but it works over GPRS), I can get GMail to work in messaging... over GPRS and WiFi... about to try the Root Cert patch above see if it makes any difference,

This one is not working for me either.. just to be specific... i downloaded this fix and installed it to my DEVICE option... Helmi's MSN fix was already installed when i installed this.. after finishing instalation i did a soft reset.. msn didn't work.. same error logon to MSN Messenger Failed Because the service is not responding.

I uninstalled both the fix... just installed your fix restarted and tried running messenger under wifi.. same error....

what should i do..??

[Black6spdZ]

Midget sure you found the wifi fix first? lol, I ran across that reg entry today as well.. reset and APs popped right up

[sayadil]

as far as i see this fix is mostly made by helmi_c so thanks goes to him too

see ya

[Brazilian Joe]

I have upgraded, and I am pretty much satisfied with the new rom. I had a hard time connecting to GPRS, but then I aded a few CAB from my original 2003SE Operator customizations, and it worked. But it is still weird.

What happened:
I tried to manually add the settings. turned out I simply couldn't put in all GPRS connection settings, because my ISP uses a proxy, and there was simply no option to set up a proxy under 'My ISP'. I can only set a proxy under 'My Network'. So, I was a bit disappointed, because without GPRS I would have to rollback to WM2003SE.

Then I tried to gradually install stuff from the original EXTROM. I copied my extrom backup to a new folder, and firstly I removed the APPS I knew would have nothing to do with GPRS (ClearVue etc). Then I procceeded by looking at the customizations which had a chance of being connected to the connection settings, and added 4 or 5 packs. this is no even 30% of the full contents, there were many packages in there.

Turned out one of the packages automagicaly added the operator connection settings, and maybe added something to the system which would cause it to work.

Bugs:
Only after the first boot after instaling the extrom cabs I could see my connections @ the 'My ISP' under 'connections', and saw the option to configure proxy to 'my ISP'. after another soft reset, those options disappeared from the menu again, and the GPRS config does NOT show up, but it IS registered *somewhere*, because I can connect and browse. I alsso can't add another connection with the same name, the interface finds the other connection, even though it does not display it.

I am thinking of hard resetting and installing those cabs again, one by one, and try to connect each time until I find the minimum packages needed.

Overall, an impressive result. I have already installed the apps I was used to, and I find it even faster than when I was using 2003SE.

Kudos to Bepe, Helmi and all the others too!

Oh yes! I had exactly the same issue... I contacted the author of Tweaks2K2.net and he provided me with a CAB which basically forced my registration... although he wasn't happy supporting it, especially when he realised it was a hacked ROM, but he provided it nonetheless... I can send you it later, if you are capable of editing the cab to input your key instead of miine...

[bolopez]

I have tried to build my own ROM following bepe's procedure, and it looks like working, but there are bugs in my ROM that I can't solve.

So I tried to use helmi's one, but it's a WWE ROM, so I have to reinstall the Spanish cabs and files over it to get a half-Spanish ROM.

Is there a way to use someone else's ROM and just use the LOC package with it? I mean, can I take Helmi's ROM and just apply ESN AKU package over it (or even some packages I would like to be in it)?

Or the other way round... Is ther a way to decompile the whole ROM just to add things you'd like in it?

Thanks in advance to you all.

And special thanks to Bepe, Helmi, Midget, thingonaspring, Tuatara and all of you that are making true WM5 on BA.

How do I have to edit it? with a hex editor? If that's all it takes, then I should be able to handle it if you give me the offset. I would appreciate it cause I really do use the tweaks.

I am stumped guys.. the wifi issue is due to the tiacxwln.dll file. The working version is 321k. I have made sure that is in the BA_driver folder.. I even double checked the dump folder prior to creating the ROM and it is still the same file.. but after I flash the ROM I come up with a 326k file that doesn't work.. I have to manually copy the 321k file into the windows folder and reset and then the wifi works normally.. where is this other file coming from?! Is this why you have to use the extrom helmi??

Extended_ROM is more usefull then just that, and yes, theres some of the file can't be read by OS maybe the PE header is not correctly state/guess by the dump tools, u cant see that if u hv a task manager or a Wince remote proccess tool (Visual Studio 2005). And fyi BTA2DP.dll? never been load by OS till now, and thats why we cant get BTA2DP to work. Avrcp_MPplugin.dll is load ok (WMEdia Bt2dp extension), SBC.DLL dont load also dont know why...

bepe and me are start almost together (off course i got AKU.2.3 from him) at the begining port AKU 2.3 to BA, thats why mine and bepe hv different version/approach. but the base are still the same, I got AKU.2.3 from bepe, thanks him for that...

and also the next AKU3? will be different again beetween me and bepe, since we start it different way, and different approach maybe... but thanks to him, cos of his info for the right tool I can make my AKU3.0 to work, before it i get stuck on today screen... that 1 file makes me mad!... thanks bepe...


Thankss,helmi.
Now my BA lives with your ROM.
It's great.

[wodonwong]

Dear developers,
The disappearance of eMail account settings upon changing batteryboth happens to Tuma 4 and Helmi 1 ROM. Currently, I need to soft reset the machine on the booting screen "R None" to prevent it from happening.
Will the above issue be addressed in the new ROMs?
Many thanks to all of your hard works.

[Black6spdZ]

Helmi, so in other words you are saying the the files extracted from the nba using imgfs_tools may not be all of the files present in the ROM? And this is the reason for the wrong Wlan driver being loaded?

@Midget...

I've been using helmi_c's ROM with RAMisk for a while but found over the last few days that it became very unstable, not sure why... PIM data dropped, BT/WiFi unresponsive, icons disappearing... not concerned really it's still beta after all!

But yesterday I decided to try a new ROM, your AKu2.3 v1.1 and without adding any tweaks or overclocking, it is by far the fastest WM5 AKU 2.3 ROM I have tried, very responsive even with several apps installed/running... I'm really impressed with it as a base ROM, so...

1. Are you still working on this?

and if so...

2. Do you have a RAM Disk version?
3. Do you have a version with WiFi in Comm Manager?
4. Do you have MSN fixed? (Fixed with your MSN+WiFi Fix and Activesync is OK)

and if not...

Can you post your DEV folder et al so I/we can work on it :D

My intention is to build a very personal ROM (which I will share of course) including the Eten Dialler (I assume this is possible?)and my stock apps (Call Filtering + the stuff included in TuMa such as PocketRAR, Pocket Notepad etc...) and I'd love to start with yours as a base ROM...

[helmi_c]

@Midget...

I've been using helmi_c's ROM with RAMisk for a while but found over the last few days that it became very unstable, not sure why... PIM data dropped, BT/WiFi unresponsive, icons disappearing... not concerned really it's still beta after all!


sorry to hear that, well, I use in my device for a week now, and nothing like that happens, and the speed..hmm...there no tweak (standar speed tweak) in my rom, maybe u can test it from my rom thread

btw for u guys who want to try midget rom, u can find it here:
http://micmeo.com/BlueAngel/

thanks micmeo for the space. :wink:

[Black6spdZ]

helmi.. have we figure out a way to not need the ext_rom use? It would be such a pain to have to dynamically change its size to fit the programs/utilities needed each time or else there is just wasted space if you allocate more than is needed. what about the SD Ext_rom I've read about?

helmi, I don't think it was your ROM per se... I had been hacking all sorts for a couple of days and things just started going wrong, I just happened to use an alternative ROM on flashing... :) Looking forward to the AKU3.0 dev stuff, and your version of the ROM of course!!

[Midget_1990]

as i mentioned earlier i'm working away from home during the week, but this week ive got monday off so ill have three days. Not really sure if I should continue with my ROM as helmi seems to have more time to put into his and there is not much point having two :P

[SKassam]

Midget_1990,

Any idea on how to recover the missing 32mb of RAM? Thanks.

I agree, why not use SD EXT_ROM? Heck I need to re-downgrade to make my Extended_Rom from 16 to 8 - I would much rather do away with it. I want to make it small but not to small - if we had it in SD then no worries!

Or am I missing something about using SD and that being a bad idea?

[Midget_1990]

@odie3: its a bad idea for people who:
a) dont have one (everyone has an extrom)
b) have a small SD card and want to fit as much other stuff (music etc) on it as possible

@SKassam: it involves decryting and hex editing the nk.nbf file, then reflashing, PM me if you know how to do that and i'll give you the values, otherwise i wouldnt recommend it as you could f*ck up your device.

[odie3]

Well, its not that bad - I do not recall when TuMu roms where released people complaining about not having a SD card. ;)

Seems eating up 8 [or even the 16MB defualt] is nothing for a SD card - then again I do have a 1 GB card [and could not even think of not having one at all].

I would figure users like us would have a SD card [with ample space for a ext_rom]. We are a bit advanced from a normal PDA user [or I would like to think we are]. :)

@midget

Is it the .nbf, or the .nba that needs to be hex edited? And if it's the latter how do I then return that to an nk.nbf? I tried the following before...

1. Converted helmi_c's nk.nbf->nk.nba
2. hex edited relevant sectors
3. Added nk.nba to a dev folder
4. Ran createos.exe then createos.bat

At that point it hung... perhaps I was using the wrong boot.rgu, not sure but I couldn't get it to work... am I in the right ball park, or do I need to do it differently?

its the .nba you edit - its the decrypted version of the .nbf, not a clue why yours hung, mine works flawlessly. :/

[willpower102]

Besides keyboard lag i've experienced a lot of slowdown after days of use with helmi's as well. I'm still trying to trace exactly what it is related to. If i don't activesync, it never slows down.

[spkr4thdd]

its the .nba you edit - its the decrypted version of the .nbf, not a clue why yours hung, mine works flawlessly. :/

Okay... tried again, and it runs the createos.bat fine, but the exe fails on boot.rgu stating it is too big?! I haven't changed it so why should that happen?

[Midget_1990]

no idea, try using the tools as they come (with your oem files) and then editing the nbf/nba AFTEr you have built your rom, thats what i did.

[spkr4thdd]

Okay, let me get this right...

1. Build my ROM
2. Convert nk.nbf -> nk.nba
3. Hex edit nk.nba
4. Convert nk.nba -> nk.nbf
5. Flash ROM

If that's right, then how do I do step 4?

[Midget_1990]

using these tools (each bat goes a different way)

[spkr4thdd]

I new there was a missing link! I didn't have nba-nbf converter, kinda makes life hard!!!

[Midget_1990]

actually its just one part of the origional rom building toolkit ivan gave me when eh moved to universals, if you want it ill upload it :D

tuatara also has one, with the following advantages:

easier to use
handles hte XIP section of ROMs

however i prefer ivans one as with tuatara you cant realy just do one operation individually, but with ivans you just do the thing you want to do (eg convert to and from nba & nbf)

Why not post your latest and greates ROM for us so we can all use it? Is your version 1.1 what you have on your BA?

Thanks.

Shamim

[Midget_1990]

atm on my BA i have a modified version of helmi's rom, so i woulnt fell comfortble posting it, due to it being based on his wor kand all. if/when i get time i will try and get a aku 3 release out, but who knows, by the time i have enought free time we could be using crossbow :P

[Midget_1990]

however i have to tell you all not to use it ATM as although it does what its supposed to do it also stop active sync from working, my bad :roll:


Did anyone see that part of Midget's post about the MSN WiFi Fix? Seems not a very good idea to install... or has he fixed that and not told us?

just fixed it now (active sync seems faster than before now :D)

afaik it was because i forgot an xml files. it is included now (and reg file fixed :oops:)

Sorry, it didn't work. After I installed the new fix, I tried to activesync to my exhange server and still gives the same error mesasge. "Contact your ISP or exchange provder.. blah blah blah".

Does the activesync have to happen over Wifi? Cause I'm using GPRS.

I love both the midget and the helmi roms, somebody has to get this one problem resolved.

Are you speaking of helmi's or your latest rom? I downloaded yours about 7 hours ago from this post and can't get the wifi to connect. Even after i apply the midget_msn/wifi fix it still sits trying to connect forever. Any idea? Or did you upload a newer rom since then? (never had this problem on helmi)

On a good note, SO FAR your rom doesn't slowdown if i activesync with wifi turned on. I had a recurring problem with helmi's rom that when i synced with wifi turned on (or i turned it on seconds after a sync) the device would slow to a crawl. After several minutes it would bounce back up, but no more than 50-75% of the speed after a fresh install.

[Black6spdZ]

helmi.. how did you fix the powerpoint?

[Midget_1990]

can anyone help me?

I've got an aku 3 rom working very well, except that all my entries in initflashfiles.dat are not being acted upon. Standard entries like the games folder etc are still ok, just the ones i've added via my oem folders...

No idea why this is happening :?:

also, anyone know how o change the OS version (bootup and device info)

[imatrix]

Midget,

has Bepe rls the BA AKU3.0 base rom already?
if he has, can u plz give me the link?

imatrix

[thingonaspring]

Hi midget_1990

I've had this problem in the past. The only way round it I found was to take an existing, working initflashfiles.txt from another package and edit it very carefully in notepad. Leave all whitespace untouched, remove all lines except one.

New edit that line to make it perform one of the functions you need. Don't modify the last visible character of the line, or anything beyond it, to avoid disturbing any unusual carriage-return/linefeed characters.

Then cut+paste that line, edit and continue.

It's a fiddly and unscientific process, but for me it works.

By the way - I also have a working-ish AKU3 build, but it's acting bloody strangely. The main problem is screen artifacts that look like incorrect color depth and a slightly misaligned display buffer. I've got the screen working without artifacts, but sometimes on reboot they return for no apparent reason.

Stayed up til 4am with that problem. The missus was not impressed ;-)

[xplode]

As far as i know there is no aku3 base rom for blueangel, but bepe has beta base rom for himalaya

[Midget_1990]

there is, you just need to know where to look :wink:

[motisu]

there is, you just need to know where to look :wink:

And that would be????.....

Seriously, are there any guestimates about when there will be a version stable enough for testing?

inquiring minds wish to know.... :shock: :idea:

[Midget_1990]

atm it is really unstable, the problems i'm having is that every application requires signing, so things like camera, mms, album, wifi manager etc dont work, if anyone knows how to disable this that would be great!

problems i'm having that are not related to aku 3 are that the backlight sliders dont work again and wmplayer stutters (need audio priority fix)

[Black6spdZ]

midget, you have to add the frontlightdll and associated reg entry to the new SAP.. working fine for me.. I'm just still having an isse with a good clean camera oem package and wifi.. I used an old wlan_man.exe to actually turn on the wifi and that works but I don't have the wlan_mgr to let me actually pick an AP but the WZC works and pops up with available APs so I can pick from one.. just need the cam and wifi and its perfect ;) aku3 that is.. is it time to start its own thread?

[Black6spdZ]

well I wanted to let everyone try my contribution to the project.. all fixes, patches, and speed tweaks have been applied that I have read here and even other sites pertaining to WM5. I have to give a disclaimer though because I have packaged xcpuscalar in it that scales from 300 to 530 and have also OC'd the aATI gpu to get the most speed possible.. although I have used it fine on my two BAs YRMV. Only thing I know does not work is Mobile PowerPoint. This however works on AKU3, so if this is important to you wait until that is released in a stable beta. Thanks Bepe, Midget, Helmi and all others that have worked hard on this.

I'll have a go with it :-) Does it need anything special in extended_rom and does it use SD extended rom or real ER? Also, does it have camera detect or do I have to run it seperately? I'm installing it on an SX66.

Bring on AKU 3.0!

Black6spdZ:

After installing, I hate to say this but it is a washout for me. I have lost MIDI support( which I had in helmi_c's), menus take forever to open unless I turn off events and notifications. I think I'll -go back to Helmi_c's untill something better comes along. Sorry. :-(

well the intial lag in response is most likely due to it starting at 300mhz, I set this to make average battery life remain ther same as if it was set at the factory 400. Try bumping the initial speed to 400 and it will make it much more responsive but use more battery.. its all a trade-off on what you feel is most important. if you want to uninstall xcpuscalar just remove the link from startup. Imatrix, this is a controversial subject but in my roughly 12 years owning and OC PC cpu's have never had a failure doe to OC and if it is shortening the life of them.. their technology will be outdated far before it fails..MIDI support? I thought that was native to WMP already? I hadn't ever tried. The Camera app does use camera_detect so should work on both 20B and 20B1 devices. I have my whole dev settup using bepe's package system, no extrom support needed. I would gladly upload it all if someone wants to play around with it. can remove all the apps I've integrated as they're OEM packages, RAR, Camera, XCPU, etc. The fixes andt weaks reside in the SAP folder, mostly in its rgu. I'll gladly try to make small changes and improvements if the demand is there.. I have no where near the knowledge on this as Bepe, helmi and midget but trial and error seems to work on my side.

I'm not talking about a slow respone time. I'm talking about the old known problem of if sound and notifications are enabled on a SX66, the whole system starts to crawl. Interestingly, on Ivan's and on Helmi_c ROMs, this doesn't happen.

Again, Midi is supposed to be built-in but on the SX66, it causes SEVERE problems.

(just to let you know i'm currently trying stealing the powerpoint from aku 3 and as for wifi, i'm keeping it completely sepperate from commmanager, except for it showing in the today plugin.)

Midget, I noticed there are two (or more?) versions of the Wireless Manager, the one with the tick box on the settings screen, and the one with the seperate screen with the 'Turn WiFi On'/'Turn WiFi Off' radio buttons...

Having tried to incorporate the first version with the Comm Manager I received an incompatability error, however, with the second I managed to get it to work, after a fashion, that is, if I go into the Network Card settings and add the AP's SSID and key etc prior to using WiFi then Comm Manager worked, but would not find the AP's SSID on its own, the first one however will find the SSID but won't incorporate with Comm Manager.

It appears the Comm Manager uses the radio button app to 'toggle' WiFi on/off, but for some reason it initially can't find a connection if the AP isn't set up. I'm trying to work on it just now, but work is really busy, and being on 24 hr call isn't helping :(
