[weber-family]

Hi, I've updated from your AKU 3.2 version.

I've got an error each time I want to connect to via GPRS to Internet . Explorer says "the address is not valid. Check the address and try again".

[SHaDoHaCK]

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Testing........................

thnx c_shekhar For All Rom

[eddyve]

What about zoom SMS? Is it included in this rom? Did you use crossbow as default skin? Or in short, what are the differences with tof's aku 3.5, PLEASE?

[gpsenzo68]

First impression: Great!

Some problems though:

1. Wireless manager: When putting in to Flightmode the function to reactivate phone doesn't work.
2. Tomtom 6.0 when installing it turns off the backlight and each time you restart Tomtom it turns the backlight of again but only when running TT6 after shutting down application the backlight turns on again.

But all in all great thanx

Ahum :-( Forums are there to first look for info!!! My fault Tomtom 6.0 issue resolved sorry!

Dear friend, If you tried to flash it with Shekhar's rom, you haven't flashed your device the right way. May be you did not hard reset the correct way after flashing. Do it exactly according to the intructions.
It must show the correct version number!

Thanks a lot mach2005 for solving the members probs..regard....c_shekhar.

[jinni_plus]

Thanks c_shekhar for this rom, I have one problem, I can't access the internet with GPRS or WiFi because there is no option to select when it ask to choose which to connect to WORK or INTERNET on network card setting it's showing the selecting box blank with no options, and therefore internet explorer can't access the internet.
my WiFi is connecting to my access point.
I hope there's a way to get those setting back.

Thanks c_shekhar again for this nice work

[xmaxx]

Flashed this Rom Yesterday
everything smooth. and damn fast.
i have an Imate Pocket PC too, i had no problems with the SD card not being recognized.
One gripe though, the programs you have pushd in dont seem to work. I am having problems with running Call2Contact, the Dictionary, FlightMode and the Rubix Cube Game. Permissions errors
is asking me to reinstall the apps.
why is this so?
would it be possible for you to release .cabs of these shiny new apps.

i especially liked the speed dial one on the Today screen. damn neat.

[xmaxx]

I will trial your ROM, but I'm not looking office ( Exel/world mobile ) in your list..

I have already mentioned in my first post that all these S/Ws shall require the NETCF to be installed on your device. It is a free S/W and you can install that .

[soupiejr]

I've flashed my device to this from WM2003SE as well, but the Storage size is still 14.63 and not 30. I'm thinking I might have to use Hima_DOC_tool to do this, so I downloaded it, and ran it, then reset the device. To no avail, unfortunately. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the ROM, c_shekhar! GREAT JOB!

[amk]

how can I move the logo CellOne?

normally it works when i use easytweak, but now it says "not works on your phone", when can we have the OEM pakage fro myou like the previous AUK3.2

:)

[The_hesham]

Hi C_shekhar
Thank u 4 the effort in this site and buzz as well

This Rom is very nice, however :
1- Why we do not see Roms with no ramdisk & always we see Roms with ramdisk 32, 64, ...etc.?
2- Why we do not have vanillas Rom ( Rom with no software)?
3- Would u pls upload the Sms backup cab file?

I tried to use the Rom kitchen but it is very difficult for me

Thanks

No-RAMDisk is something which I somehow dont recommend. There are many like me. Perhaps thats why there are no ROMs without RAMDisk available. Actually if you dont want RAMDisk then the spared memory gets merged with program memory. And having more than 30-40MB of program memory does not add to any advantage. Rather it, in my opinion is a wastage of precious resources. Instead it can be put to some use if converted into RAMDisk. I hope I am able to explain the reasons well..good luck..

Either delete \Windows\carrierlogo.GIF file or rename it to something else.

Hey
Im going to be getting an XDA II soon and i was wondering how difficult it is to upgrade to wm5.

i downloaded the version at the top of this page, is it just a matter of running the 'himaupgradeut.exe' in bootloader mode and away you go? or do you have to use mtty?

thanx

[cfit_zy]

C_Shekhar.... Firstly thankyou. Without guys like you we would still be battling with the buggy old original OS the Vendors choose to push out.
I noticed someone else has had the same question I am about to ask which I think you did not get to answer. I have reflashed my O2II several times and still get the storage space of only 14.57Meg and a Program space of 61.26Meg. I have a big problem with the Storage size because its very little space to hold data and some applications which dump some of their files in the Windows directory. Any ideas you can throw at me to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

Install hima_DOC_Tool 1.0 on your device. This shall merge the ExtROM into the storage space and make it 30MB. Mind that after that you shall loose the ExtROM from your device...enjoy.....

Yes you are right. I have tested that it still gives problem with C2C only. Rest of the programs requiring NETCF work properly. May be another 3.5 compatibility prob.. Still let me figure it out...

[bluecream4]

I'm looking forward to your new ROM ++ :)

[selangkahlagi]

Dear c_shekhar nice to hear it has finished.
I have one suggestion to make this rom working completly.
As your prediction, if C2C is not compatible with rom 3.5 aku, it is better if you remove C2C from Rom. :) I don't know is it possible ?

Really good work mate !!!! I appreciate it.....:)

[bdw238]

Have tested the ROM, really fantastic! It works perfect, nice work c_shekhar, thnxs!

[merts]

If you get rar file you should extract that file become exe or msi using wirar or another application. And install that file from your pc.

[pneuma]

Don't bother with rar's or whatever unless you really cannot download the official version, especially since nowadays there are reports of people infecting archives on the ftp site here, so you should be careful what you download and run. The official version of the .Net Compact FrameWork (aka. netcf) is:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&DisplayLang=en

Also apply the patch if possible:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0c1b0a88-59e2-4eba-a70e-4cd851c5fcc4&DisplayLang=en

I know these files are huge and contain more then you need, but they are easy to install and you are guaranteed to download the correct software.

Hey

Thanx for the reply, will be applying this update next week once i've researched it properly! my first pocketpc!mmm!lol.

C_Shekar, i noticed on the front page you stated that smart dial does not work as incompatible with aku3.5, has anybody managed to fix the incompatibility? i use smartdial a LOT (only wish that this would become a STANDARD thing on all phones!)

any chance of any other screenshots? also, how do people find the screen quality? i use a Qtek 8310 right now,and the screen on that is superd, but compared to my older SP3i, the sp3i is rubbish! will it be a case of this too?!

thank you!

(just wondering, how long do you predict to be developing these roms for? the next version of WM is due soon, whats the likelihood that will be 'adapted' to run on a himalaya?)

hi all:

i'm a newbie on ROM flashing (but not on Himalaya... :) ), i wanted to upgrade my XDA 2 (into WM2005), whose software was untouched (never been upgraded...). Is this possible or safe?

My Device info (from the factory):

ROM Version: 1.60.00WWE
Radio Version:1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
Extended ROM: 1.60.44

Very eager to try this tonight... TIA:)

PS: I already finished downloading c_shekhars WM2005 Upgrade... just waiting for any suggestions...

[selangkahlagi]

Just try and follow the instruction carefully. If you do the steps as written in the isntruction files, I think you will succed to upgrade it.

But I can not give you guarantie absolutely, all depend on your moves, if no mistakes, it will okay.... so read please the instruction and then imagine what should you do... :)

Good luck

[suplado602]

Hi guys!, i'm back... my WM2005 upgrade was successful!... it was a breeze, just around 15mins... Performance-wise its a bit slow compared to WM2003 but the upgrade was worth it... But just like xmaxx said, Scenarios.exe and other apps (Dictionary Editor, Flight Mode, etc.) doesnt work... but still, a great ROM... thanks c_shekhar...:D

hmmm... before i forget... is this normal?

ROM version: 3.50a.40CS
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18

dont worry about the ExtRom, unlock it and you will get to it.
Flight Mode etc works after NetCF 2.0 installation, but Scenarios and Call2Contact dont seem to work.

The O2 phoneplus really works fine, Though it loads a bit slower and as a result many times it appears that it is malfunctioning but if you press the buttons a little slowly it works fine. here is the screenshot... It is worth it and makes me feel no absence of smartdialler..

1. First of all thanks a lot xmaxx for providing the users an alternative location for download. FTP of this forum has got a bit slow lately may be because of filemanagement going on (as moderator has informed).
2. Scenarios shall not work because it has not been provided. (Read the upgrade note carefully). It is anyway not needed at all because a much better profiler is already provided on the today screen.
3. There is a problem of incompatibility with C2C which is to be removed in the next release. cheers..

In AKU ROMs ExtROM ceizes to exist. It can be merged with the storage memory for making it from 15MB to 30MB. Merging becomes necesary becouse you fall shaort of space for installing many programs. Run Hima_DOC_Toolv1.0 for this...

Hello,

When i run TomTom 6 with this rom the backlight goes off, and when i close the TomTom the backlight goes on. Have anyone the same problem, and the solution or answer for this?

[fudgebottom]

I belive this is an issue with TomTom and Windows Mobile 05.

There is a function call about the baklight that is diferent that TomTom have not changed. you can edit the tomtom.exe file in a hex editor to fix the issue...

I will try and get my copy of TomTom.exe and upload it on the site, if you replace your file with this one it should also fix the issue you are having :-)

Regards
Fudge

[fudgebottom]

Hi All

If you are having issues with TomTom 6.010 and the Backlight not working overwrite with the following file and it should fix the issue you are having...

Of course always backup your original before overwriting in case of any issues (although I've never had any)

Enjoy

[c_shekhar]

Thanks for the information and for the Rom.

Himalaya XDA screendumps:

May I ask you why your memory size is 37MB instead of 61MB in the picture #3??

[sawyer_family]

.....assumed it was the balance of available memory left over after the OS Loads...

I've just done a hard reset and got the same, and in memory applet says:

Program Total 37.27MB
In Use: 19.88MB
Free: 17.39MB

Should it be 60MB???

maybe I should flash ROM again

Have a look on the details as well as the screenshots on the first post of this thread. The program memory should be 61MB. I think your storage memory might be 16MB. and your ExtROM still exists. Pl confirm..

Nice rom

Has anyone got the NETCF assemblies to work properly (ie, microsoft.windowsmobile.pocketoutlook) as i have a custom app that i have created that uses this assembly.

I have re-installed netcf2 many times and also connected via Debug in VS.NET 2005 but still the error.

Any info would be highly appreciated.

Mr Shekar
no doubt ROM all fine and stuff
a few gripes though

1. Battery Meter shows 38% but phone knocks off. after recharge, everything ok.

2. when In Call, i dont get the name of the party, just Boxes in the dialer. maybe a throw back to the Chinese translated ROM that you have used in this one. It is a bit annoying to get these boxes in many other programs as well

3. Scenarios and Call2Contact useless ( which you said would be removed in the next upgrade)

4. File explorer is silly, can you update it to Resco's Explorer? i can send you the setup if you want.

5. the Speed Dial is just Fantastic. i love this app, any possibility of getting the .cab of it. i have assigned it to a button and can dial numbers with just one hand free.

6. WM5Storage takes a hug amount of time to be recognized by Windows. the older version used to get picked up instantly.

7. BackUpSMS and BackupContacts, perform a backup, but if you try to restore, it says No Backup Exists.

8. NoiseProfile is also silly. Cant we have something like WM5Phone Profiles which allows ou not only to set the level of sound meters but also the ringtones, and message alert tones

I hope we can look forward to another release soon.
BTW, i did gripe, but in no way think that i dont appreciate the work that you do in these releases. i wish i had a clue how to make them. i would help out.
Thanks for all the hard work

[fudgebottom]

Hi c_shekhar

Many thanks for your efforts, I have not yet updated to your ROM and am still currently using Buzz (2.01a.64WWE) ROM but find the ROM to be a little slow at times and suspect a memory leak of some kind.

I am planning on upgrading to your version of the ROM once it becomes a little more stable and initial bugs ironed out. (I can't afford to have an unstable phone and have features not working at times as I use my phone every day at work).


Please could you give us a general update of what issues you are currently working and on the status of the issues.

Is there any thing general users can help with? (research, program searching..etc..etc), it might be a good idea to have a list of remaining issues , ROM wish list..etc..etc for all users to see and contribute to?

Many thanks for your efforts and it sounds like you've done a good job so far :-) looking forward to giving the new ROM a try

[c_shekhar]

Let me try to write answers question by question....>

Mr Shekar
no doubt ROM all fine and stuff
a few gripes though

1. Battery Meter shows 38% but phone knocks off. after recharge, everything ok.
Though most of the other forums talk about phone going off after 32% battery level but Incidently I have not faced this prob. on my phone. It has safely gone upto 22%. There are many users reporting my way. It is a matter of further analysis.

2. when In Call, i dont get the name of the party, just Boxes in the dialer. maybe a throw back to the Chinese translated ROM that you have used in this one. It is a bit annoying to get these boxes in many other programs as well
Again it is not happening on my phone. I am attaching the screenshot. It is during the incoming call.

3. Scenarios and Call2Contact useless ( which you said would be removed in the next upgrade)
Scenario is not provided as you would read in the introductory post. Only zoom SMS was reintrodused on request of one of user like you. C2C is also been explained on this thread already that it has compatibility issue with AKU3.5. I have kept it in my todo list for removal..

4. File explorer is silly, can you update it to Resco's Explorer? i can send you the setup if you want.
Unfortunately this is the only extensively used explorer. I cannot release resco explorer because it is a lisenced S/W. I have added resco inthe ROM I am using on my device. But, your comments abt the standard file explorer are absolutely right.

5. the Speed Dial is just Fantastic. i love this app, any possibility of getting the .cab of it. i have assigned it to a button and can dial numbers with just one hand free.
It is already there in the ROM with all the functions. And I too love it..

6. WM5Storage takes a hug amount of time to be recognized by Windows. the older version used to get picked up instantly.
I incidently dont use it at all so no idea. Shall give it a try in one of these days..

7. BackUpSMS and BackupContacts, perform a backup, but if you try to restore, it says No Backup Exists.
I differ from you on this issue with excuse. I am heavily dependent on these two S/Ws because I keep flashing modifications evry second day and the device is H-resetted every second day. Dotfred has really given a fantastic tool to us. The save/restore thecall log function of the contactsbackup is simply fantastic.

8. NoiseProfile is also silly. Cant we have something like WM5Phone Profiles which allows ou not only to set the level of sound meters but also the ringtones, and message alert tones

I think you are talking abt sound profile. I think it has control of sound as well as the rintone type.. check it a bit more.

I hope we can look forward to another release soon.
BTW, i did gripe, but in no way think that i dont appreciate the work that you do in these releases. i wish i had a clue how to make them. i would help out.
Thanks for all the hard work

thanks alot about your rom and it was perfect work

I just want to share my experience with this rom. I don't have any above problem. Both of points above worked well in my PDA.

And I think for no 1, you have problem with the battery. This happened with many cell phone, and called battery drop. To solve this problem you have to change the battery with a new one. :)

To c-shekhar, I am waiting your great final work :)

Hello

I was wondering if there was any method do 'password' the sms inbox?

is this possible with your rom? or could somebody point me in the direction of some software that does do this please.

thank you.

(the XDA II i have is an o2 branded XDA, do i just skip to step 5 in installing? thanx)

[sawyer_family]

Have a look on the details as well as the screenshots on the first post of this thread. The program memory should be 61MB. I think your storage memory might be 16MB. and your ExtROM still exists. Pl confirm..

I reflashed and its still the same.

Curiously if you look at screenshot 4 of my previous post, which is the
Hardware tab of the Device Information applet you will notice that the
RAM size: is 64MB. hmmmm This is an O2 XDA II (not a mini) and I thought
they all had 128MB RAM !!

So I guess either I got a very odd XDA, or some wierd hardware fault, or
something else.

Any suggestions?

Keep pressed the green button for 4 seconds , the speaker function shall activate...

[sawyer_family]

Buzzdev.net site seems to indicate Radio 1.08.00 is best for Himilaya and WM5

I just flashed to this from 1.19.0. Speakerphone still doesn't work though

I was on 1.17.0 which ate battery, 1.19.0 seemed better on power, trying
1.08.0 for fun.

[c_shekhar]

To C Shekar
submission for inclusion in next release if you please

Kept in the todo list... Any more wishlist from anybody??????

[sawyer_family]

Keep pressed the green button for 4 seconds , the speaker function shall activate...

oh yep, green button for a few seconds does the trick. Albeit with an info box with squares (chinese with no font) pops up. But hey it works.

[selangkahlagi]

there is a little problem:

diod is always blinking (standard - when gsm is on) in green colour. When is a notification then diod is still blinking in green (standard - in red colour). It's important for me. Sorry for my English, I'm Polish.

I think it wasn't in my case. The red light works well. But still I use the c_shekhar ROM that still have problem with GPRS :) I will report again after I cook the Fix Rom. :)

I am please to say that with this rom I said goodby to my 2003se. This seems the most working and stable rom so far. Thanks you buzz and thank you c_shekhar. I suggest you remove the dictionary, scenarios, display swithch, games, download agent, fastcleanup. Add MS.NET CF 2.0, blackberry or push-email, mms3.5.1.5, and BTaudio.

[alwi]

thank shekhar for reply
but the recording is tooooo bad on my device ...
is there problem in my device ... or is there any programs that can help in improve the recording...
also how to do hard reset in your rom? i tried by the usual way but no use...
and also 32 MB memory storage is too little...
never mind:p
I am waiting your great final work too :)
thanks

[llbasha]

to hardreset your device:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

(for selecting use RecordButton)
(change values with CameraButton)
Select the options as follows:
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

[alwi]

thanks my friend :)

What exactly is the problem with your GPRS??? because on my device it works just fine. I assume that you must be going to settings->connections-->connections-->manage existing connection-->edit--><change the name of connection> and select Modem <Cellular Line (GPRS)>-->next--><change the accesspoint>next-->finish ?? or something else???

[c_shekhar]

I am please to say that with this rom I said goodby to my 2003se. This seems the most working and stable rom so far. Thanks you buzz and thank you c_shekhar. I suggest you remove the dictionary, scenarios, display swithch, games, download agent, fastcleanup. Add MS.NET CF 2.0, blackberry or push-email, mms3.5.1.5, and BTaudio.


1. Scenarios is not there at all even now. So nothing is to be done.

2. Dictionary editor is a good tool if you really want to add the your choicest word suggestion to the database. Needs re-thinking before removing...

3. Display swith is part of psShutxp to facilitate binding to a button or icon.

4. remove Download agent --yes

5. Fast cleanup also??

6. I could have added mms3.5.1.5 but when tested it I didnt like it. It has one very major drawback which causes big inconvinience besides having advantage to add smileys to MMS. Plus it is bulkier by about 1 MB. Thats why you would have noticed that it is not much sought after..Even if you people insist i shall add..

7. BT Audio-->I have never used it so I cant tell. If you have the cab you can post it here. shall try..


Any more wish list from any body????

[alwi]

Yes my friend the battery ...
the pda shut off in 35 % ...:(
please try to be consume less... or shut in less %
and thanks ........:)

For number 2 and number 5, I also agree with you. Thesee are good tool, number 6 and 7 I have no experience, so I don't have any Idea about it. But better if you could add netCF 2.0 :) because it is clear that it is needed for several program in this ROM.

[selangkahlagi]

May be it is possible to adjust brigthness to save power fot the battery. Look at settings>system>backlight

[solomhamada]

[sawyer_family]

Sorry my silly question. Is it possible to downgrade only the radio rom ?

Yes. Just copy the radio_.nbf and HimaUpgradeUt.exe into a folder without the nk.nbf. Same procedure as system rom flashing.

I've gone from 1.17.0 to 1.19.0 to 1.08.0 so upgrade and downgrade appear to work.

radio roms are downloadable from buzzdev.net

Good Luck

[sawyer_family]

Is Any one able to send or receive mms?

Yes.

First ensure your network supplier has enabled GPRS/MMS on your SIM
Just because SMS works doesn't mean MMS has been enabled.

Just phone your mobile phone co and ask them to enable. They usually send you an enabling txt.

Then you need to set up the MMS connection on WM5.

This is what I do for Orange in the UK, which works for me:



Setting up the data account

Tap on Start and then Settings.
Tap on the Connections tab.
Tap on the Connections icon.
Tap on the Advanced tab.
Tap on Select Networks.
Tap on New…
In the Enter a name for these settings: field, enter Orange MMS
Tap on the Modem tab.
Tap on New.
In the Enter a name for the connection: field, enter Orange MMS
Tap on the Select a modem: drop down list and select Cellular Line (GPRS).
Tap on Next.
In the Access point name: field, enter orangemms and tap on Next.
In the Username: field, enter Orange
In the Password field, enter Multimedia
Tap on Finish.
Tap on ok three times.
Tap on x to close the settings.
Setting up the MMS profile

Tap on Start and then Messaging.
Tap on Accounts and select MMS.
Tap on Menu and select MMS Configuration...
Tap on the Servers tab.
Tap on New.
In the Server name: field, enter Orange MMS
In the Gateway: field, enter 192.168.224.010
In the Port number: field, enter 8080 or Permanent, non-secure
In the Server address: field, enter http://mms.orange.co.uk/
Tap on Orange MMS from the drop down list.
Tap on WAP 2.0 from the WAP version: drop down list.
Tap on OK.
Tap on Orange MMS and tapSet as Default.
Tap on ok.
Tap on x to close the settings.
The handset is now configured for Multimedia Messages.

Obviously your settings will differ for different networks.

Good Luck

hesham ,,
It's worked with me ok after many times playing in the setting so keep trying it's will work with you ….

[alwi]

How about to add these program to your rom sir Shekhar:
1- realone player
2- Album
3- AgileMessenger
:) if you can ...

[fudgebottom]

I would also say to include, netCF 2.0 as it is needed for many apps in this ROM from what I've read.

I would also suggest to remove apps that are not popular to save space for users that don't necessarily want them, if any thing perhaps start a new thread with CAB Files downloads for you ROM to keep it need and any one can download any removed software from there if they still want it?

I have not installed the ROM as yet as mentioned before but am really looking forward to it:

- I use Lexisgoo English Dictionary so I'm assuming the one you include is the same type of thing so I also will not need this app but depends on others :-)

Basically I would suggest posting a ROM that works 100% after updating (eg Include NetCF 2) but still trying to keep the ROM as lean as possible.

Many thanks for your efforts and look forward to the final release after all your hard work

[c_shekhar]

NetCF is OK.
Dictionary is too much to be expected because non of the dictionaries is less than 5-6 MB. So not possinble.
You can post your cabs on this thread itself. Then we can make a library and place them on the ftp later..

[llbasha]

1. Scenarios is not there at all even now. So nothing is to be done.

2. Dictionary editor is a good tool if you really want to add the your choicest word suggestion to the database. Needs re-thinking before removing...

3. Display swith is part of psShutxp to facilitate binding to a button or icon.

4. remove Download agent --yes

5. Fast cleanup also??

6. I could have added mms3.5.1.5 but when tested it I didnt like it. It has one very major drawback which causes big inconvinience besides having advantage to add smileys to MMS. Plus it is bulkier by about 1 MB. Thats why you would have noticed that it is not much sought after..Even if you people insist i shall add..

7. BT Audio-->I have never used it so I cant tell. If you have the cab you can post it here. shall try..


Any more wish list from any body????

1- I have icon on the bottom task bar, when I click on it I get an error message: The file scenarios cannot be opened....etc. Please clarify?

2- Before I upgrade to WM5 I used WordBook 3 for PocketPC. I guess most people have different choice and use dic to know rather than add. Unless of course you mean that whatever you add comes up auto when say writing sms .. do I understand correctly. If this is the case, sue I 100% agree with you.

3 & 5- I guess many would be adding other utilities such as SKtools and Tweaks2k2NET that has replacement for above and more. ... same may be said regarding backup ... I assume most would use something like sprit? However, psShutxp is very small so keeping it would be fine.

4- good
6- Would you or any one suggest an alternative for MMS?
7- Attached the cab file for BTaudio and Total_Commander .. it is great.
8- I agree with 'alwi' ... RealPlayer is OK.
9- I do not know about AgileMessenger. Can anyone gives us advise of advantage/disavantage vs MSN?

Question1: Is there is a way to add/remove the icon on the bottom task bar (other than those by 'Tray_Launch')? Currently I have by default bat, bt, scenarios, mem, and psShutxp (i just wish we can change its skin!)

Thanks a million ... I really like this rom .. I have 0 problem so far!!

[selangkahlagi]

----------sorry double post ---------------

[selangkahlagi]

Agile messenger? No prob. do you then want me to replace msn with this one??

Agile Messenger is good software, but is it free ?
I suggest to include basic tools that are important for the device operation. Concerning advanced application I think, I can install them in storage card. It will save much space.

What do you think ?

[c_shekhar]

So to Sum it up..
1. NETCF...Yes
2. Agile messenger...No (as that can be installed on SD card and not many are intrested)
3. Dictionary editor...Yes (As it adds words for autosuggest)
4. FlightMode...yes (By majority)
5. C2C...No (As it has problems with V3.5)
6. Games...No (removed)
7. MSN...Yes
8. Total commander.....I am a bit confused. Though it is a good S/W but many dont like to use it. Instead they use resco explorer. So for such people there shall be 3 explorers on the device (1-default explorer, 2- Total Comm, 3-Resco) Will that be acceptable?? Or else I make Total commander a part of ExtROM which can be tailored by individual depending upon his reqmt? I need suggestons for this.
9. Scenarios ...No
10. Today theme...changed (Preferably crossbow)
11. Zoom SMS...Yes
Any thing left out????

[Marx2]

is there kitchen to download?

[duke_stix]

Hey
would it not be possible to do the following:

Make a COMPLETELY stripped down ROM, with absolutely NOTHING extra on it, and then produce some sort of a CAB file which can allow you to install say a 'software' package which installs the extra stuff on later? i think some people would actually prefer this as it means you would (in theory, not sure how it works) end up with slightly more storage space to install your own applications without having the rom 'cluttered' up with extra things?

just a suggestion!

total commander is great, although i think having 3 file explorers is a little much! sticking with resco would be better methinks

the idea to make a 'library' of HimaWM5 'addons' would be waaaay better than 'bloating' up the rom with extra software some of us may not even use at all!

[The_hesham]

Yes.

First ensure your network supplier has enabled GPRS/MMS on your SIM

Thanks Swayer_family
First I'm not using this Rom, I'm using TofClock one done from the same source Helmi_kitchen (buzz.net) . The main reason that it has basic programs but it seems that he ignored mms.
He posts Acrosoftmms 3.5 cab to be installed and it dosen't work.
I found programe name mmscomposer. I instaled succssesfuly, and the mms massage apear inside the massages. I mean (start-massages-new - mms or sms)
However, I phoned my services supplier and step by step we done every thing.

The Web to open internet was Ok
WAp was not ok
mms failed to send/receive.
I will pay them a visit as they suggest.

If you don't have probleme with mms by using C_shakhar ROM.
I think I will wait till the next ver. and using it.
It seems to be a very nice one.

Thanks again

No 8, I think we should chose maximum 2 to save place in ROM. I don't mind you will chose which one. In my opinion, Both of them have almost the same function but different user interface. Anyone know what are the advantage from one and the other ?

Just for for vote if it is necessay,
Resco is used commonly in my environment. :) but anything our choice. I agree....

One that I know, this will be the best rom for us...:)

c_shekhar thank you again, Our wish to get great ROM can happen because of you. Good work mate. !!! I can not be patient to try for the next version.

[fudgebottom]

I Agree, a basic functional ROM is best and personalize it your self later :-)

I use Total Commander BUT don't think it should be included as many might not like it... I would stick to the basic explorer and people can add which ever file manager they like after?

Still agree with the rest of the list though... Sounding good to me!

Yes - NETCF
Yes - Dictionary Editor - (not 100% sure but if it's very small why not)
Yes - FlightMode
Yes - MSN - (although I don't use it, I guess others would)
Yes - Default Explorer
Yes - Today Theme - (default is fine or any other as long as it looks clean)
Yes - Zoom SMS - (not 100% sure what this is yet but sounds small)

No - C2C
No - Games - (would like the cab to install later)
No - Total commander
No - Agle messenger
No - Resco explorer
No - Scenarios

how would one go about cooking their own rom?

thanks for the rom c_shekhar :)
Perfect work :) :) :)

I might want to download your new ROM C Shekhar but may I ask if the intermitten Booth screen that has your name and list of program has been removed. I would rather have the original one. Or can you upload your kitchen? Thanks

[The_hesham]

Hi C_shkhar
What do u mean by,
8. Extended ROM has come back but, on \Storage Card this time.

[selangkahlagi]

Hi C_shkhar
What do u mean by,
8. Extended ROM has come back but, on \Storage Card this time.

You are right mate :) I also want to know more concerning this one. Is it means possible for us to merge extROM in device and the storage so we will get more space ?

[The_hesham]

I'm really confused,
I understand that I had to install this Rom and to get more space in storage I had to make Extended Rom Unhid, Unlock.....etc
Now this Rom has 30 MB storage is this mean that after merging the Extended Rom it will be more?
Is this mean that the mobile will have a problem from any kind if i moved the storage card for any reason, due to the fact that Extended Rom is there?
Or the Storage will have another name

Or What!!

I really want to understand this issues before start using this Rom.

[selangkahlagi]

Are you sure your storage 30 MB ? not in my case. My storage still 14.54MB, RAMdisk 39.96 MB and Program 61.26 MB.

How could your storage 30 MB ? or is it means your extROM has been merged ?

[The_hesham]

No mate I said I did not use this Rom yet
I was going to use it but I was wandering about it is specification written in the first post.
If u install it and u have 14.54 MB storage, this normal for WM5. But after that u have to merge the Extended ROm to get 30.5 MB storage.
If u used it can u tell me about the mms is it working normal because I'm using TofClock AKU3.5 and i have a problem in addition to another bugs.

I didn't merge it yet so I got 14.54 MB. I have used this ROM. In my device this room works well, and so with the MMS. I am still searching if there is any bugs... I hope I don't find it. :)

Good luck

[llbasha]

I thought we would have Agile Messenger instead of MSN!!??
May be you could remove the optional programs out of the rom and put them in the optional Extended ROm. This way everybody is happy to add what he wants to the extended rom according to his need. Thanks C_Shekhar... I appreciate your support.

[amerkasem85]

Please , fix the link

i don´t understand !!!. I have a spanish rom with 14.57 of storage (now 3.09 free), 61.26 of ¿programs=ram disk? (now 37.65 free) and only I had installed the pocket informant 2007, the spb diary, and spb weather, all on sd card, and i haven´t memory to install another programs, like the cf2.0 and anothers

how is the use of the storage ??? i had installed on sd card but i supose that the today functions of this programs use storage memory ¿it´s true?

the rom of this thread has the same memory distribution ????? only has 14.54 mb of storage ????

[selangkahlagi]

Please , fix the link
what 's problem with the link ? I have downloaded and all worked well

[altimaseny]

I upgraded to this rom and I cant connect to the internet anyone can help me out ?

Do I have to setup the internet or it should automatically set up itself?

[rodbacon]

I had a few issues with this. The main one being Push email from Exchange. It just refused to work. Also, the "connection manager" is missing all the options (push email, data connection, etc. etc.). What's with that?

[alwi]

Well done c_shekhar about this graet job :
but i have some notes about your new rom that face me...:
1- This time my pda shut down when battery at 50% :confused: is there any body else have the same problem !!!
2- when i try to set wave file as ringtone .. the pda open MMS :confused:
3- The program data backup is not present !!!
Otherwise the rom is perfect for me , thanks for NETCF that resolve alot of problem...
but the battery will let me to return to the previous rom...
About the idea of the extended rom it was fantastic :)
but i have small suggestion : how you can controll the path of these extended rom in storage card to be installed into ram disk instead of storage memory :rolleyes: , I think it will help us alot when we install big program like translation to other language ... for example ....
and thanks again master c_shekhar
Good work

Hi C_Sekhar,

Thanks for the good ROM, in my device under setting>Connection, the WLAN Manager links it's not shown an icons. Could you help me on this one?
I would like display the icons or completely remove the links.

Thanks,
Giri

[c_shekhar]

@the_hesham
@selangkahlagi
@carlosA

Let me try to add some more facts which are a bit historic.
1. Since the time the WM5 has been tried on Himalaya the storage memory was only 15MB initially. this 15 MB wash was falling really short for comfortably installing and running programs. So the ExtROM, which was resident in flash memory of the device, was merged into it by using hima_DOC_Tool v1.0. After running the utility the progrm memory increased to 31MB and made every body comfortable. So all those who have been using WM5 on himalaya are normally not having ExtROM which they used to have earlier.

2. But, the craving for having something similar was always there. Which has become possible now. Only change is (I feel it as rather advantageous) that the ExtROM progs shall now be residing on SD card called \Storage Crad. It is very advantageous because now the ExtROM is always visible and the hassels of unlocking/unhiding shall not be there. And you can freely add & remove the S/W cabs in it by correspondingly modifying the config.txt available in the \Storage Card\ExtROM.

3. Since the use of ExtROM is only at the time of Hard resetting the device there shall be no problem even if you remove the SD Card from your device after the hard Reset. More over if somehow you dont want to install the progs in the ExtROM you can freely remove the SD card and hard reset. There shall be no problem for the device to bootup.

4. For installing the progs in the ExtROM on to the RAMDisk instead of main memory, you need to edit the cab files. Be careful because it is a sensitive task and must be done carefully. Normally the ExtROM is used for accomadating only those progs which are to be installed in the main memory of the device. however it is only a convetion and not a restriction.

This is the final ROM of ver AKU 3.5 from me. And has been testes for internet/GPRS/MMS etc very well. You need to feed the configuration manually or through a cab corresponding to your service provider...

....regards and cheers...

[rodriquez1984]

i wish to try this rom, so can u fix it pls?

Thanks...
Rod

[PaY87]

The new version of your rom is great! ;)
if somebody wants to upgrade to this rom use this tool to backup your contacts!
after installing just copy the backup file to your pda and run it.
this backup tool is already a part of the new rom..
it saves a lot of time if you know that! :)

[llbasha]

Ok then my friend how to edit the cab file to be installed in to other place like Ramdisk :o

You need a CAB file editor. A program that compile the installation files into one pocket pc CAB file and set the installation routine.

Since you have never done it, I suggest you start here:
http://www.trajectorylabs.com/pocket_pc_cab_file.html

you can use CAB editor, such as OCP WinCE CAB Manager (http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr)

[llbasha]

This is the final ROM of ver AKU 3.5 from me. And has been testes for internet/GPRS/MMS etc very well. You need to feed the configuration manually or through a cab corresponding to your service provider...



This is sound like sad news. looks like all the big boys are leaving the Himalay's and going to play with the newly released toys... I hope you shall stay around for help. We do appreciate your assistance.

Final request, would you please let us have the kitchen for this latest rom with shorts note and advise/consideration so we may start to build our own.

I trust many around here will have the same wish...

[duke_stix]

just flashed..

WOW!
thank you c_shekar!

whats the next rom your going to be cooking then?!

[sortlaih]

Thank you for this ROM; it's really great …..

Just I want to suggest removing the dictionary and the calculator programs,
For me I used to use different programs, lexisgoo V2.7 as dictionary and RDCalc V2.7 as calculator.

One thing with every restart I do my ringtone goes to the default one so I need to assign again to the one I choose.

Also the information which appears in the page with every reboot I believe it's not necessary is there any way to remove it!!

Thankx in advance

The dictionary editor is not a dictionary at all. If you are using any dictionary continue. This dictionary editor helps to add new words into the database of the windows default autosuggestion database. There are many words which are normally not there in the autosuggestion database of the windows and you would like to add the words of your choice into it. Use this tool it is great...

[fudgebottom]

Hi c_shekhar

Many thanks for your work, just to follow up to see if there is any currently outstanding confirmed issues with your latest release that you have not provided a fix for (eg. Wireless Icon patch).

I'm VERY happy to hear users find your ROM fast, I'm after speed and stability as mentioned before I use my phone for work and I use GPS software a lot as well so speed is also important.

I have not made the move to the new ROM as yet but would like to do so as soon as I can get confirmation your latest work is stable and working 100%.

Regards
Fudge

[c_shekhar]

The only bug witnessed so far is fixed.
All of you Pl install this cab on this ROM 3.50b.40CS. the cab is available on post#202 of this thread...Enjoy the speed and cheers for the features. I hope you are enjoying the new set of icons in this ROM..

[fudgebottom]

Hi c_shekhar

Many thanks for the quick reply, I might get my phone connected and install the new ROM :-)

Many thanks for all your efforts, it sounds like it's going to be a great ROM...

1. Just a silly question, if you do release a new build of this ROM, you do loose all your installed programs..etc..etc when upgrading again is that correct?
From memory you have to clear the registry and format your storage so all will be gone, correct me if I'm wrong...

2. Also do you need to install the ExtROM or can you leave it out? (please could you explain a little more what the files in this folder are for).

3. Also my understanding is that I can also put the "cs.WLAN_Fix.cab" file into the ExtROM folder if I want to automaticly install this file (and if I chose to use the ExtROM, is this correct?)


Regards
Fudge.

Yes. It is to be hard-resetted

From memory you have to clear the registry and format your storage so all will be gone, correct me if I'm wrong...
Every thing except RAMDisk shall be gone

2. Also do you need to install the ExtROM or can you leave it out? (please could you explain a little more what the files in this folder are for).
You remove the SD card at the time of hard resetting then the ExtROM shall be ignored. Simple..
3. Also my understanding is that I can also put the "cs.WLAN_Fix.cab" file into the ExtROM folder if I want to automaticly install this file (and if I chose to use the ExtROM, is this correct?)
Yes you can

Hey c_shekar , I am new to this forum I recently upgraded my rom or lets say I deleted my old rom because of a lot of bugs and problems screen freezingi up anyways I have a error on start up I install your software 3 days ago.

Here is what it says
The file 'sddaemon' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate , or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.

Can't help to not to salute you! Five Thumbs?

I've been passive members as my search for The Best Himalaya ROM ever cooked, but this 3.50b.40CS can't help me to write this post for your Great Work!

Since I've dare to post, what does EDGE or EVDO (_connect_PPC/_sync_PPC) do? Is it exactly the same as file gprs, gprs_connect and gprs_sync_PPC? Is it than possible to use those EDGE or EVDO services? or even better: shall will be there UMTS or HSDPA :D

Great ROM CS !!!

Love the extROM install from SD

Just a few things:

1.Backup SMS just gives me the window as per attached screenshot

2.The Icons in the programs screen seem to refresh every few seconds. The older ROMS did this too, so nothing new, just wondered why

3.Any chance of a tiny tutorial on adding our cabs to the extROM. I added WM5torage and although it does install it also hangs the system (I think there is a reboot (yes/no) window that gets hidden underneath.

Thanks

1. The backup SMS should show up as attached screnshots.
2. Dont understand what are you trying to convey.
3. As I have written in my post on ExtROM, that as per conventions, only those cabs are to be added in ExtROM which need to be installed on the main memory and also dont have any screen/window popping up. Or else you have the ability to tailor the cabs to suit this principle.

ANy way thanks for liking this ROM...

PaY87: I find the same, even though all draining processes like bluetooth and infrared are off. I think it might have something to do with the O2 programs and the activesync issue where activesync doesn't switch off when the device is uncradled.

i dont know if its active sync, because this was running in background before in previous version too without battery draining..
is it possible it has something to do with the tray icons on the bottom of today screen? an other strange point is that i am not able to see my backup battery anymore in the power menu!
there is just the normal battery status!

Hi c_shekhar

I've asked a chinese friend to translate the words posted but they don't seem to know what they mean, they said if they can see the Chinese characters that would be easier...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Say the Chinese character for "small" is a few squiggly bits. The "pin yin" for that would be "xiao". I don't think there are exact english words for the following :( And no. 1 and 4 seem to me as having no difference. I don't know what no. 2, 3 and 5 are. No. 3 might mean "phonic"

1. Pin Yin
2. JianPin
3. ZhuYin
4. HanYu PinYin
5. TongYong PinYin

Sorry could not help much, but if you can get a screen shot of the Chinese characters I might be able to get a better answer.

Thanks a lot for extending help. These words are translated from chinese by a chinese it seems . He seems to have put the chinese into english phonetically. I wish to replace them with appropriate english word. Please try some more...

[fudgebottom]

Hi c_shekhar

I will see what I can find and ask some more friends that are Chinese...

Would you happen to have more words before and after (sentence structure), pictures...etc..etc.. any thine else other then just the words?

I'm thinking if it's in a sentence it might be easier for them to understand?

Perhaps you could let me know what words you have translated so they can get a feel of what type of words it will be similar to?

Fudgebottom here are the screen shots..

[pneuma]

Hi C_Shekhar,

PinYin is a method of phonetics used to represent Chinese words with English Alphabet. By the looks of the screen shots, the options are simply asking which phonetic method the user wishes to use. For instance the method to say the "ch" sound in church might have different representations in PinYin depending on method, such as a "t" or a "x".

Therefore there is no possible translation for these words, as they are simply input/phonetic methods which are dialect/region based.

A full explanation can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PinYin

--M

[fudgebottom]

Hi Pneuma/C_Shekhar

I believe Pneuma is correct, I send my friend a copy of the screenshots and they also came back with the same kind of answer...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From the looks of the screenies, it looks like they are mainly for searching. So I suppose that if the person's name isn't written in Chinese, then those functions are not required. As English doesn't use pin yin. In the 2nd screen shot, the options seem to be all the same (all pin yin). Just different versions of it. Are you having troubles searching for names of people? If not, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Not sure if I explained myself well! But see how you go.

Hey

Is there any news on releasing a completely stripped down ROM update?

or, better still, how would someone go about stripping down a rom completely to just include the STANDARD phone software with absolutely nothing extra attached?


also, c_shekar, the skin that you use, in the 'red' screenshots, it looks like you've got all of these little 'tabs' on the top most band where the signal meter and clock are, how did you get these?


thanx

Try ROM released by O2. You will find naked ROM there. We are here to explore possibilities and to do time travel with our Himalaya units

hey

last i checked, O2 didnt release a WM5 rom update for the himalaya, i've already tried c_shekars, and just for the sake of it, yesterday i flashed the one HELMI has put up, and i prefer that rom as its a lot more stripped down and is noticeably faster.

also, whats the max people have overclocked their devices to?



thanx

hi guys, thank you for your work
but i've some question... my pda is rebooting when i press the power button on the battery in %80 or something.. it was started after flash to AKU3.* series.. i've tryed lots of roms but it's not fixed... what can i do?

ROM: 3.50a.40CS
dated: 17.12.2006
OS 5.1.195 (Build 15698.3.5.0)



Hello c_shekhar... as written in my post on Buzzdev (http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,26,29006),
I was looking for a working Terminal Services Client (Remote Desktop) on your ROM (cause I didn't found it from when I started using WM5). The one downloaded from Microsoft website says "MSTSC.exe is not a valid Pocket PC application" and doesn't start. I have found the rar attached, a mod of the original application by MS. It works! Unrar, copy in Windows folder all files, and link in Start Menu, and import .reg.
I think you can add this useful tool to your next edition...

Thank you,
Bye :)
