New WM6 Rom of Helmi_c (V1.1)

[bpcue]

yes i'm using Oxios CloseApps but not anymore if this is the problem..will try to see if the iLauncher close all function does the same or not

Stopped using Oxios and HTC-X close and I have no issues with MP for the past 15 hrs. MP eats up the program memory bit by bit. Any tools out there to fix this, rather than Oxios.

[NormanKong]

Hi Helmi
Excellent Rom, works like a dream, no noticable problems. I was a Jwrightmcps fan but I think that he has lost all his fans because of his silence. also Judging from the number and rate of posts you are getting I think you are no doubt top spot.

Please help I do not know how to activate the software marked by * below, where is the "cab folder with ROM pack"? please explain how do I get to it.

Thanks
Norman

To add a Disconnect buttonfor GPRS:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)
if the DWORD Flags2 is not there, create it
Cheers!


I've done everthing as mention but getting confuse which I hav e 2 use to create Flags2 =16. im using sktools and it says create new

string
multistring
dword

this is what I done

Whoever called this baby 'crossbow'... This shud have been christened "NEMESIS"


It absolutely destroys every other rom (with its nitty-gritties)... Imagine what it'll feel like once completely debugged...

Speed = 9/10
Aesthetics = 9/10
Stability = 6.5/10 ( this is where we need to concentrate)


Loads and loads of observations, mostly already discussed if not sorted out... Whatever virgin bugs i observe, will list out very soon...

Helmi...... I am speechless... Wont even make an effort to say something in ur honor dude... ur work is beyond my vocabulary...

[edeplano]

Can any one tell me what is the highest capacity SD card that can be used with this ROM without any tweaks?

I read somewhere that from a certain capacity one needs to partition the drive into several partitions? What is that uppper limit?

Also got the disconnect working for the GPRS, I assume there is not a similar cab for doing the same for WiFi....

I agree. This is by far the best Crossbow version, period. All honour goes to Helmi for this one! Awesome work my friend.

I do have one point to add though. In my view, morphosin is wrong as far as stability is concerned.

Stability = 9/10

Thank YOU.

I have been using this rom since I saw it posted, and although I think it is a great ROM there are a couple of "Charictoristics" of it that I have decided to go back to the old faithful Helmi_c AKU3.5.

1. Not being able to pick up my phone through my BT car kit, and not being able to press and hold the button on the kit and launch Voice Commander has frustrated me to AKU 3.5 which I find to be great.

2. My device keeps loosing the sound. A simple soft reset resolves it but then sound goes. Mainly found when SMS message comes in. It started to vibrate but no sound and the LED didn't flash but then no sound at all. BT had been on though so not sure if related to Broadcom - Maybe not.

3. Too many extra CABs to resolve little problems, which I guess is the downside of getting excited at the prospect of WM6 to early, I guess I expected it to be more solid than it is.

I am however looking forward to when the next release is available as I do rate this ROM highly, and it is a damn good start.

[IRREAL]

Finally the best rom on the net..good job helmy!Stable and fast.

MarkJL,

I am completely agreeing with point 1 and 2, is there anybody who found a workaround ? In general I find it a very stable ROM, but I would like a fully functional Voice command, and a remedy for the "lost" sound

Im really really new to this upgrade game , but I did my best and got this ROM installed on my JasJar , now the only problems that I have is that I do not have any dialpad for phone application , and I already activated MS VC with the .cab included , but if I press the button on my plantronics discovery 640 , nothing happens , only if I press the record button , is there a way to fix this ?? I dont really want to risk it and load another ROM and besides for what I heard this is the best out there right ??
I have not installed any software in it , and I get 25 mb or RAM is this ok ?? and again please someone tell me how to get a dialpad in the phone application !! thanks . . .

Can you please try this? Start media player, then stop it. open any application and close it. Initiate media player again. If it works without skipping tracks after 25 secs then it might not be HTC-X. I know it worked fine after re-flashing, and not installing HTC and Oxios. The problem might be from Oxios.

[Laurentius26]

Did what you sayed,

Started Media player, closed it with HTC X-Button.
Opened Pocket Informant, Closed it with HTC X-Button.
Opened Media Player, waiting for more than 25 seconds now, music playes just fine!

cool, I will retract HTC-X. And blame it on Oxios (close and hibernate). Do u run that application. I have had the problem with every ROM that ships with it.

Will test over the weekend using Oxios and will post here.

I downloaded the rom from the latest available link .

I've a simlocked qtek 9000 with bootloader 2.01 and ROM 1.30.77 and Radio 1.09

I put the universal on bootloader and connect it directly to the PC( active sync is with Un-check "Allow USB Connections")

I keep with serial on top. it wont change to USB!!!! If I slowly remove the cable from the device it quickly passes from serial to USB and again to serial.

When I try to upgrade with ROMUpgradeUt I get an 101 error.

If I try the MaUpgradeUt_noID I get a message that the Upgrade utility it's not for my device.

I've done my search, but i did not find any explanation for this. Any help is welcome. Most probably it's a very stupid error...

Thx in advance.

To change the SMS font sizes for both reading and composing goto the windows directory and edit both the compose_style.css and read_style.css files. Both files include references to various font characteristics including size/colour/weight etc when reading and composing text messages. Also allows you to change vcard subject/body/header characteristics. Both files are hidden and read-only so use Resco Explorer or similar to copy/overwrite.

Hi Bukwit, are you successful in changing the fonts in sms and mails? I amended all font references to size 8 but only the heading has shrunk. The body somehow stays with the larger font size. Haven't figured out... :(

I think all of us know that the Helmi’s ROM 1.1 is the best WM6 Available ROM right now.

However, by 2.06 PDAVIET it seems they have use the Helmis ROM as base but optimized and increase the speed. Definitely, speed wise is the 2.06 faster.
Would please Helmi have look in to PDAVIET 2.06 and see whether 1.1 can be further optimize in speed.

I have seen some post here in which some people seems look down what those PDAVIET people doing.

I think definitely that is not right behavior. Couple of years ago when Japanese start to build cars and implement reverse Engineering, many of the European car makers have just smiled and did not take them serious. Nevertheless, look how fare that Japanese Carmaker came today.

[almerchant]

Since jwrights ROM I have not installed a new rom coz of lack of completeness, is this all inclusive idiot proof?
can we just plug the usb lead and run the file and we are done? and we can add our apps and see how they work?
any suggestions wud be of value

I'm not going to make the same mistake twice!
Sounds stupid, but I feel quilty!
I Think it's better that we all put the brains together

Hope you don't mind Helmi and that I still got your support.

You can't turn it of with the Comm manager (Start/Programs/Comm manager)? I can! Otherwise try Start/Settings/System/Memory/Running Programs and stop the Comm manager.

Just want to say that I posted earlier about having sudden hangs and I thought it was helmi's rom. Well, I replaced the battery and the hangs stopped. I guess it just happened that my battery had stopped performing at the time I upgraded to helmi's rom. So for the record helmi's rom was not causing the hangs.

Hey guys,
Has anybody encountered serious problems with phone audio after flashing with this rom?

I can't hear nothing when calling and i'm also not able to set speaker on... something wrong with gsm audio codec or ... am i bricking my UNI?

Thanks...

I cannot connect correctly with Helmi BT stack. It is recognized and stablished the connection, but not works for the phone, I mean you cannot make phone calls and the parrot says "no coverage" of the phone signal in the phone, that is not true,

Did you check and obtain it working?

Hello Guys.....this is only for you information.....i was facing problem of HANG many times....and finally i found the reason....i was using the MS voice command integrated inside the ROM...and now i am not any Voice command program and every thing is ok....

Hi Astraman,

It good be possible, I don't use MS Voice Command (using Cyberon Voice Commander instead) from the beginning I flashed this Rom, I didn't have hangs at all and I'm using this Rom for about a week now!

i did not use the Cyberon as it is in all the ROMs ....so i gave the MS a try...but it seems like it make the device hange when a call coms...i found the device hange with the notification popub of the incoming call also alot of times the device did not ring on the incoming calls and hang....but now it is ok without the MS.

[Laurentius26]

Hi Astraman,

I know that you didn't use Cyberon, but what I'm trying to say is that I also didn't use MS Voice Command. (so, same situation, no hangers)
But if you do like to use Voice Commands than you should give Cyberon Voice Commands a try, I didn't have hangers with this software.
Also, both applications are not activated by default, you need to install the Cab file first, and if you do not like it you can remove the cab file and the prog is deactivated again.

just a thought

i don't use any voice command on the phone, but i also have the problem of the phone hanging when i get a new call. this happens when i have the vibrate & ring selected in the phone settings..
i think maybe the phone hanging has to do with some interal process which happens when a new call comes in.. something like what used to happen in the WM2003 phoneswhen the bluetooth used to swith off when the phone used to go to sleep mode..

[simonsalo]

OK - I am sharing a version of my extended ROM (storage) files with WM6 Helmi testers. These are now all triggered manually. I have found it just as easy not to use autoconfig giving me control over when and where I install.

I am in Australia so my carriers are only the Australian ones but you can easily replace these with your own region specific ones.

You can also stop the hanging at reset (in either helmi or midget's rom) by unchecking all your plug-ins before doing a reset.

Just browse to the Universal upload folder (as I was unable to upload this file to the post) ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/ and then take a copy of simonstorage.rar then unzip with winrar.

Enjoy!

Did u try this version?

I'm using Helmi 1.1 ROM with IMAGiNet Arabizer 2 Build 342 and It's running great :)

Hello, did you try the original iMate Ext_ROM 1.30.171 WWE which reads as build 337? I've been using it since three last roms upgrades and not asingle issue, except with the hard keyboard I installed the uploaded fix found on this forum and that's how the key board works supeyb!

I have noticed when I turned the phone interface off during the Ext_ROM installation, arabizer gets screwed up, therefore I quit doing that and am fine now...

[Jorry]

I'm using the Helmi ROM now sinc nearly one week. It's great work.

But one more question: How to activate the keyboard backlight? Maybe also with the sensor functionality ;-)?

Just to inform you all that as I read before in other posts, the cable is really important no matter how strange it can seem.

I could sync with one cable but on bootloader serial wouldn't change to USB.
I got my devide stuck on bootloader when i tried upgrade with sync on with the country id method.

I could do nothing wiht the qtek because i couldn't get access to get.

Today at the office, sync off, first conection with the original cable and voilá, USB. Uni_exitbootlaoder, and everyhing as new.

Use the original cable...

Hi Helmi,

Thanks for the fix, the sounds work, but notifications doesn't. I tried to enable e-mail notification but I hear nothing. Maybe it has to do with my device, would be great if somebody else can confirm this?

Leo

Web&walk does not seem to work any more for me. Anyone knows the GPRS settings (authetication and slot) for T-Mobile NL?


My config is:

Although i am having some serious isseus with everything related to the phone and/or radio :(

After going through a tunnel reconnection takes forever, or just hangs. This makes me miss phonecalls. People get my voicemail instantly and SMS messeges are not recieved until the next softreset :S

Ever since i have WM6 installed this problem is re-occuring, i went from 1 soft-reset every now and then to like 10 every day!

I'm using radio ROM 1.14.00, are there any other people that have this issue(s)? Would i help if i change the radio ROM of is it something in WM6?

[Laurentius26]

Hi,

About radio 1.14.10, I use this with no problems what so ever.
I'm also on T-Mobile network, the radio is functioning just fine.
A lot of people complain about this radio but I do not understand!
Do you use MS Voice Command?

To Biffert and/or Laurentius

I mean the GPRS (PAP or CHAP authentication and class 8 or 10 slot) that you can find under GPRS Settings.

Thanks

[Biso007]

Did u try this version?

I'm using Helmi 1.1 ROM with IMAGiNet Arabizer 2 Build 342 and It's running great :)

yes , I tried this version and it looked great ... but unfortunately the phone part hanged requently so I couldn't continue coz this is my main device for business ... it's a pitty coz I liked this rom so much.

I never change those, but here they are :)

@ Laurentius26:
Nope, no voice command, just phone, sms and dataconnection. Where can i find radio 1.14.10? Will see if it improves after upgrade.

I too am running radio 1.14 with the same problems...maybe going back to radio v 1.13 will help.

I just spent the morning in London with Push email enabled. Moving from building to underground & building again it keeps losing the data connection, struggling with the 3G / GPRS hand over & then getting to the stage where only a reboot will allow it to reconnect.

Can't tell whether this is Radio 1.14 or the Helmi WM6 ROM, but the combination results in a device not suitable for real work use.

I will revert back to a more sdtable system because I need it working better than 50%.

I use push mail, but I have no problem. The problem here is that the 3G service in London is not that great. Switch to 2G and you will have a better experience. Aslo, rather than soft reset ur device, you can switch flight mode on and off. That will kick ur connection back. I use radio 1.14, 1.13 was really bad form me.

the old arabization do not work but removing then installing the new version will work but without arabic external keyboard.
tcpmp core player have some problems with Helmi 1.1 too!

[darkjedi]

Not to start a war or anything, but would there be any benefit to install the Helmi_c rom if you already are using the Midget1990 rom?

[franklinromeo]

hey guys. I no this a a weird question but. Can anyone telll me any specific problems with this rom. Because there may be an app thats is essential for me. and also what is the maximum sd card capacity of this rom.

[scaffettese]

I have radio 1.14.10 and Helmi 1.1 ,telecom italia operator, I don't have any problems, I use a SD 4 gb I try a 8 gb SDHC but doesn't work... installed a lot of application (resco photo,audio, radio ,explorer Spb pocket plus ilauncher tcmp 0.81 tomtom6 wad and many other,a lot of games) only 1 reboot in 5 days...

What application is it that you need to run?

Think maximum SD for the Universal is 4Gb as it doesn't support the new HC cards. I've just bought a 4Gb 155x high speed and it registers fine.

[franklinromeo]

Why won't this work

to franklin with 4gb....



i have tried a lot of 4gb cards and sometimes its not the device its the card that is defective....try using 150x 4gb transcend or the ora 4gb memory card coz both of mine works well with helmi...midget and jwright rom with no problems at all...


hope this helps

[AlCapone]

just joining the "happy-gang":

I use:
Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.1 with Radio 14.1 - and see no problems.
stability & performance is just fine.

(Thank You)

I would like to try MS voice, but I assume that causes problems, so maybe later.

The only thing I find really strange, is that the notification DB still gets more and more duplicates - and it's very strange M$ did't fix it yet.

[cottinghamm]

Hmmm, having to turn flight mode on & off serveral times a day, not that handy.

3G hand off may be an issue but I have noticed that the device will stop getting push mail even on 2G when I am at home, so maybe there is something else wrong with the actual device (given that there is a general feeling that this ROM & Radio version are OK). I still can't rely on it though.

You don't have too. The only time I use that is when I am on the train and I loose connection while using the web. If you are just using other programs with push mail its fine. What normally happens with my device is that I loose connection when I go into a long tunnel or undergraound and it will re-establish it automatically. If it fails the first time, let it be it will reconnect itself say after 5 mins.

I only stated how I manage to use my push mail efficiently. I am more interested in push mail so never tested BB. FYI, u can use push mail if you want. Their are so many free service providers eg http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/

My company has exchange, without capability on pushmail because estandar is BB. Problem usually is not possible to forward mail automatically to "pushmail" companies.

[juanjillo]

Hi,

Know anybody, how to set a discconect button for GPRS. I try the HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 or 16 and not work (the 16 valor show the time of the connections).

thanks.

[bpcue]

What do you mean by not possible? Is this restricted by company policy and are all pushmail companies blocked. Unfortunately I don't see the basis of that. Pushmail site or third party sites. What makes them different.

bpcue: I'm not expertised on this field and I ask for apologizes if I say stupid things. But I checked -time ago- some solutions and ever needed your corporate exchange server forward incoming mail into the solution you put, in order you recevie push mail. But my company policy doesn't support to have a rule for automatic mail forwarding.
If some new provider gives this service and doesn't need forward the mail, I will test of course.

[grayme]

I have serious issues lately with my XDA (I just happen to be running this Rom).

I have no idea if it is the Rom or something I have installed, but if I am loading up a largish webpage (three times with wikipedia this morning) it will often freeze with the screen doing an odd 'thing' where lines go from left to right in brightness.

Anyone else experienced this and knows the cause?

Just wanted to understand why mail forwarding was restricted. I will suggest you give it a try just to see, that way you gain that knowledge. I am not a guru either, just wanted to understand the basis behind it. Just trying to learn myself. :)

You usually get an invalid certificate when you try and configure push mail prior to setting time, date and region to the correct settings.

I've only ever used the standard Orange ROMs but I've always found them infuriatingly slow. I upgraded to WM6 yesterday and I must say I'm super happy. It's like a having a new phone, feels much faster and works how I always thought my M5000 should.

[onthemail]

Any WAP problem ? everything work fine with this new Helmi great ROM, but... i can't connect to wap by http://, i have to use wsp:// url every time (and it's work), after using google i have to rename the link i want ! GPRS, mms are ok

somebody have same problem ?

[d.zevenbergen]

Dear Helmi,

My english is not so good, but I hope you understand me......!!!

!!! THANK YOU VERRY MUCH !!!!

I have installed your WM6 ROM.... and it works great!!
It is the BEST ROM ever. Better than Qtek, HTC or whatever....
All my problems are solved!

There is one problem, I have instelled the folowing Today-plugin's:
- PhoneAlarm 1.58
- Pocket Breeze 5.1.03
- SPB Pocket Plus 3.1.2
And if I boot my Qtek 9000 it freeze at startup, by loading the pugin's.

Now I have removed the SPB Pocket Plus 3.1.2 Pugin.... and it works gerat!

Best Regards,

Dick Zevenbergen

I now in Helmi's first release this wasn't working as well.

Not sure what your problem is. I can simply press my headset button - say "call xxx on mobile", get asked for confirmation, say "yes", and it dials - just the same as WM5. I then press the button to end the call.

All I did was install the activation CAB as it's already in the ROM and just needs to be switched on (which is a great idea).

Cheers,

Hi, i hv tried all version of wm6 from midgets to helmis to pdviats.
Problem is in all am not able to connect my bluetooth headset to the phone...
are more users facing the same problem...plz reply

[tyl]

Whats the prob mate?

Does the device not detect the headset? (if so, make sure the headset is in discovery mode) Or does it detect and not pair? (make sure you put the corrrect pin code in) or pair but not function?

[nutty88]

is there a tweak or a registry edit to turn off wifi using the connection icon

when you turn on wifi and after its on
then when you click on the connectivity icon it should say (turn wifi off) but instead it still says (turn wifi on)... is there a way to fix this? i wanna be able to turn off wifi without using wrlsmgr or commmgr.

any help would be greatly appreciated

ty

I have similar problem with this rom. The connection icon reports wrong status all the time. I used to be able to click on the connection icon and turn on or off wifi. Now I have to go to CommMgr.

With WM5 i used to press my headset button then hear a beep from headset and then say "xxx" (where xxx was just the name) and it dials. Then pressing the buttons was ending the call.
Now with this rom when i press the button nothing hapens.
If i use voice speed dial from the phone without the hands free it works fine.
Thanx

[goli]

yes, it's good, i found it page 15, in a post of helmi himself ;)

thx.

[planetibo]

Why my modifications of the base of register do not have any influance on user agent?

What have you with this file? Modify the .cab estension in .htm

[Bing123]

Whats the prob mate?

Does the device not detect the headset? (if so, make sure the headset is in discovery mode) Or does it detect and not pair? (make sure you put the corrrect pin code in) or pair but not function?

The evice recognises the headset, even voice comes through once but then subsequently after recharge it will not recognize it.
also in call waiting it picks the other call and then no voice comes through..
plz help what to do...

[mikealder]

Just a quick work of thanks to the creator, by far the best ROM I have tried on my device so far, the speed gained when using the unit is incredible - very impressed, thankyou - Mike

[n3m0]

Hi there,
First of all, thanks to Helmi for this great ROM.
Now, maybe someone can help me: I have a little problem with bluetooth (helmi BT stack) new and my vivavoice (car kit "parrot"). Jasjar paired, contacts transfer ok, but:

-Incoming call: no contact name appears on vivavoice LCD, and I can't answer via vivavoice... the kit buttons don't work at all (not "answer" or "ignore"). The kit rings, but I have to answer using phone buttons, then the audio is tranferred to vivavoice!

- I' can't compose a number using the vivavoice composer: the kit send the number, but the phone simply "forget" some numbers (ex. 1234567... and the phone 1367). It's like the kit compose "too fast" for the phone.

Before the upgrade the kit worked fine.

Any help? Thank you all.

[Biffert]

I posted a little while back about my problems with the phone thingy, here's the result so far:

1.14.00 - Not good, takes forever to reconnect when coming out of a tunnel, and multiple crashes when using the data connection (Icon says connected, but no connection at all!) Soft-resetting is driving me nuts.

1.14.10 - Little improvement here, takes shorter time to reconnect (relatively that is... it still takes at least 5 minutes!) Only had one crash in the dataconnection so far, but it resolved by turning the phone off and on again via the Comm manager.

Today i'll try radio 1.13.00 Since i go through a long tunnel twice a day, the results wont take long :)

WM5 with radio 1.11.00 takes 10 seconds maximum to reconnect, and restore the data connection within that same time. So i cant blaim the network ;)

[AlanJC]

Well, something was screwed in my registry, and I have no idea what, but it made my bluetooth stop working with other applications that used it, so I took this oppertunity to flash to the Helmi 1.1 ROM.

Well, it's fast, and has more available RAM, but it hangs for a second or two every so often compared to the Indra ROM.

Also, pushmail, and live messenger fail to work over GPRS/UMTS connections, but do work through activesync.

Strangely though, Opera, and IE work fine.

I'm also using the 1.14 radio.

EDIT:

OK, typical murphy's law, I post that, and within 5 minutes, it starts working. I haven't even reset or done anything, but I got an email alert, and then decided to try messenger, and that also worked.

It's been trying to connect to my mail server since 12:03am, and it's now 10:29am. I had also tried messenger several times since 7am.

Very strange!

Is Helmi doing remote fixes now ;)

[cottinghamm]

Hi, every time I reset (unfortunately a lot) word completion turns itself back on. I hate word completion & would rather it remembered the setting before soft reset (as previous ROMs did).

Any way to sort this out ?

[Pyrofer]

Im using 1.09 radio, and get VERY long time to reconnect after a tunnel, sometimes it doesnt seem to connect at all and i have to soft reset.
I also seem to get frequent GPRS crashes where the icon stays on but no data passes. I found this out testing the push email when the emails stopped coming through!
I had the same issues on aku3.2 and the reconnect time has always been long since the original o2 windows rom.

Can anyone recommend a radio rom they are using that has no problems? Would I be better off changing from 1.09 ?

I had such a bad time on Wednesday with Radio 1.14 I have reverted to 1.09 today to see whether it is any better.

To help the testing I used ROM 3.5 & Radio 1.14 yesterday & it hung mulitple times trying to receive mail or use Push mail, so it may be 1.14 that is the common problem. I know others will be having good results with it but I don't find it reliable enough to actually use the XDA (on O2) reliably for work.

Hi, has anyone had any luck flashing a ROM from a Vista PC yet, I am still having to do this from an old XP machine which is not convenient at all.

Look in the general forum, there's a sticky there.

I want to give a different radio ROM a try, mine's stopped working on messenger and push mail again now. worked for 10 minutes, but now it's back to browser being the only working thing.

I'm unsure which to try out of 1.11 or 1.13 though.

Both will have to wait until tonight though as I can't access the FTP from work unless I get a direct link to the file.

I am using Radio 1.14.10. I haven't had any problem connecting to date....messenger and push both work. have been using Helmi's rom since it was posted.

[AlanJC]

I never had this problem on the original Helmi ROM, or the Indra ROM, only since updating to this ROM, and it's really intermittant.

There's a possibility it could be down to the weather from all of the snow making the network itself have connectivity issues, but my signal isn't fluctuating much, so I'm really unsure what the cause of the issue is.

[drsqueggy]

maybe...it started snowing here about 1am last night. tried phoning a friend to tell him, signal seemed fine but had a little bit of crackling and was hard to hear him... phoned him again this morning with no problems at all. could it be the snow?? its a mystery ;)

[almerchant]

I'm still grateful to helmi for letting me test his first crossbow rom, but I am not going to reflash with anyone's image until we actually have some new code from a commercially released device.

Just seems silly now.

I love yr punch line
It had me smiling for a while
I agree totally
Its no point.. I could sound too cautious but believe me i am on jwrights rom...
I have a Jasjar
Just thot i shud write the note for U

[jingtex]

I try Helmi_c (V1.1). Every thing is OK.
But I can't install TreNote (A good App for Me)
Have Introduction ? Thank :) :eek:

[bukwit]

Hi Bukwit, are you successful in changing the fonts in sms and mails? I amended all font references to size 8 but only the heading has shrunk. The body somehow stays with the larger font size. Haven't figured out... :(

You can change the size of the body of emails by going to menu/view/text size...but there is no such option when viewing/composing sms...i've successfully changed the font size in the compose_style and read_style files to get smaller font sizes in sms. Maybe pm me your 2 files and i'll check them for you.

[Biffert]

After trying radio 1.14.10, 1.14.00 and now 1.13.00 i am at a complete loss.

In its current situation my universal is unworkable, the dataconnection is a huge pain. I roam between UMTS and GPRS quite often, this is where the first obstacle lies... it takes waaay to long to reconnect (at least 10 minutes).

The second hurdle comes when i go throug a tunnel and lose connection completely. It then takes even longer to reconnect. This problem occurs with all mentioned radio roms, but only on WM6. When using WM5 i have no problems what so ever.

After switching between UMTS/GPRS or reconnecting, the dataconnection will hang every single time, resulting in a soft-reset. The icon states that there is a connection, but when clicking it, it will say there is no connection at all!

It's driving me completely insane at the moment because it eats my battery, and i miss phonecalls due to all the soft-resets.

I never change those, but here they are :)
GPRS Authentication: CHAP
Slot: Class 10 (3R2T)

@ Laurentius26:
Nope, no voice command, just phone, sms and dataconnection. Where can i find radio 1.14.10? Will see if it improves after upgrade.

Thanks in advance,

Biff

I had to reverse to the last T-Mobile NL mobile because the situation was unworkable for me and i must be reachable this week-end for my work. Everything is working back to normal (GPRS and UMTS OK) but what strikes me is that i now have PAP as GPRS authentication.
Also did someone look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292783 .
I have the same symptoms. Sorry i can try it but i won't be able to reflash this week-end.
But believe me i will surely retry it because the rom is further very usable.
Thnaks to Helmi for this great job.

My testing yesterday with Radio 1.09 was very good, no dropped connections all day. I am travelling today so I will see how it goes.

After that I am off to Kenya, I doubt I will worry too much about Radios & ROMs there .....

[Pyrofer]

I get no notification of new emails!

I have push email setup and working, but when a message comes in - nothing.

The unread messages says 0 and there is no sound etc. It works for incoming sms.

I applied the registry fix on page 22 of this thread, but it still doesnt work.
Any help?

[SpyderTracks]

My testing yesterday with Radio 1.09 was very good, no dropped connections all day. I am travelling today so I will see how it goes.

From my personal experiences with Radio ROM's I would have to agree with you... I haven't had any problems with 1.09 at all, whereas 1.14 had little hiccups same as you.

Hi Cyber-mate

For this I use Ateksoft Coolcamera, and it's working perfect, lot of settings as well. In this app included you get also Webcam plus, with this I use my Universal as a Wireless webcam over Wifi, but you can also use bleutooth. It's fun :)
Btw this is also nice, it controls the flashlight, so when you make a picture the backlight flashes if you like.

To add a Disconnect buttonfor GPRS:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)
if the DWORD Flags2 is not there, create it
Cheers!

Need a disconnect for Wifi too.
Is there any way to ensure that the device is using the Wifi instead of the GPRS when the wifi is available?

Also, is there a full screen numpad available for VGA mode?

[Biffert]

Radio's tried so far:
1.14.10 - No
1.14.00 - No
1.13.00 - Much better, but mmmmmmmno (Lot of weirdness went away with this one, but still some reconnecting issues and nervous behavior on UMTS/GPRS borders - drained my battery in a day!)

Up next!

1.09.00 :)

There is actually some progress, as the version numbers get lower, so does my soft-reset count on a daily basis :D

1.14 can be found here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Radio

I've also just downgraded to Radio v 1.09 (from 1.14) due to some trouble with 1.14. Seemed like with 1.14 I didn't get service in some locations where there was very low signal. This was both pre/post WM6 so I don't think it was a WM6 issue.

There's a CAB file included in the CAB folder in Helmi's ROM that contains a fix for this.... it automatically chooses GPRS as the connection setting wheather you have wireless connection or not (M$ Genius' at work there :p). The CAB file disables this and allows you to select what connection you want :D

[SpyderTracks]

maybe...it started snowing here about 1am last night. tried phoning a friend to tell him, signal seemed fine but had a little bit of crackling and was hard to hear him... phoned him again this morning with no problems at all. could it be the snow?? its a mystery ;)

Oooooooooooo..... that's what happened to mine, crackle crackle crackle then POP, insurance job :(

Stuck with bundled 1.09 with this one, no problems. Don't know why I flashed in the first place... BIGGER BETTER MUST HAVE! I have issues :)

FYI, after 24hrs testing. Radio 1.09 has been embarrassingly stable. No disconnect of GPRS since and no failed connections, Its just brilliant :)

[Cyber-mate]

I see lots of threads talking about radio versions. Some who had good xp and others not!

Well, I just wanna know whether the local network would make a difference? I mean using 1.09.00 or 1.13.00 or any other!!

I have read from different members over here who are from lots of places and some are common in using the same version, whereas others had used the same version and it did not work for them?

Any technical explanation?

I'd say the opposite - the battery seems to last longer in this Crossbow ROM than it ever did with a WM5 ROM.

[Laurentius26]

Hi,

If you follow the tips from Jwrightmcps:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=252611&page=3

You get a longer batterylife.

Mine did!

Before it stopt at 54%
Now it stops at: 21%

Anyway, I think in this rom the battery life is no shorter than previous Roms I used.

If you look in Connections\Infrared Beam, you should disable it for longer battery.

Cheers, Leo :D

Hi,

Anyone manage to store email attachements to Storage Card after unhiding the Extended Rom?
I tried everything but it still don't work.
I now in Helmi's first release this wasn't working as well.

Leo :confused:



It seems that calling MAPI_SetAttachmentPath from cemapi.dll do the trick.
(Even if you unhide extrom)
After calling this all attachments will be on Storage Card directory specified as MAPI_SetAttachmentPath first and only parameter.
But It's far from the best because you have troubles on first soft reset.
You'll have Storage Card and Storage Card2.
It's possible to avoid this by changing attachment path to Storage memory before every soft reset. But it's crazy solution :)
Unfortunately I don't know how to solve this really good :(

[kucsi]

Hi

first of all i would thanks a lot for this ROM.
I have only 3 problems with it. I am using the BroadCom stack and i have Nokia HS-12W, and my first problem is connected with that. If i set up my headset as bluetoooth headset, i cant pick up the calls with my headset. If i pick up the phone on the Uni, of course i can switch to the headset by pressing the function key on the headset. BUT. After i finish call, from that all sounds are not on the Uni but only on the headset. I installed the sound fix patch, my headset profile is set only for Telephone calls(the standard audio is off). When i run Bluetooth Audio Release, then the sound goes back to Uni, but after that i can't switch back the sound to the headset again.I have to switch off and then on again the Bluetooth and the Headset and than it is in the beginning phase again.
Two another questions : is there any small programm which toggle bluetooth?(with ms stack vjvolubilis was a solution). And what is this Bluetooth Audio Release program really for?


The second problem is that the free memory goes very-very quickly down :(

The 3 one is that i cant force Active Sync not to start automatically. I tried what was working on WM5

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=254344&highlight=add+server+source
But it does not work here. Did anyone manage to find solution for that?

I really hope someone can help me to solve this bluetooth problem, because the stack is much-much better then the previous MS stack was.

[amjad]

thanks all

Hello!
I've installed this ROM a few days ago and seems pretty good.
Even though, I have a problem. Everyday, at least once a day, I have my phone freezed, when recieving a phone call (radio 1.14.10), until I soft reset my Universal, my phone is freezed!
Does anyone has this problem? I've never had this problem, using a lot of other WM5 and WM6 ROM's.
Thanks

One more thing!

I followed this tip from Tony Leone.

Move Email and Attachments to Storage Card

You can free up even more memory on your phone by moving all of your downloaded mail and attachments to your Storage Card.
Step 1.
Using the file manager in activesync, create the following folders on your Storage Card.
\MAPI
\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS
(You can actually name them whatever you want, "Inbox" for example.)
Step 2. Now browse to \Windows\Messaging (SmartPhone) or \Windows\MAPI (PocketPC)
If you want to save all of your existing mail, move everything in this directory to the new ones on your Storage Card.
Step 3. Now fire up your registry editor and navigate to the following.
[ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI ]
Then create the following keys.
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI
Step 4. Reboot your phone and then goto your inbox. If you can see all of your mail then mission accomplished. Double check your attachments as well.

No mather what I do the attachements stay on Storage :mad:

Any suggestions?

Cheers, Leo :)

I'm slightly new to the Windows Mobile world. My last was PocketPC 2000.

My question is, why is Windows Mobile so bad at adapting to resolution changes? M$ must have known that resolution limitations would eventually cause problems. We now have a resolution equivalent to Windows 3.1 and are yet forced to use apps in full screen mode? What gives?

Sorry, I know this is slightly off topic, but it's the one thing that has been bugging me since I got the Universal.

Now I found the reason found the reason for my problem but not the solution yet. It is the WIFI interferes with BT, it doesn't do the same in my PC though. I think there is still a lot to be done for the Radio and the MS stack.

Hi,

Thanks for this.

Changed the name and did a softreset, but now the attachements are stored on My Device/Storage?
So now I've got three maps, Extended_Rom, Storage Card and My Device/Storage (New map) where the attachements are now.

So this is what I did as follow:

Deactivated 'Store Attachements to Storage card in Outlook/Settings and deleted the map My Device/Storage, and softreset again.
After softreset I activated 'Store Attachements to Storage Card' again and checked E-Mail.

Now the Attachements are back on the 'Extended_Rom' :(

So changing name doesn't help

Did you manage to move your E-Mail Attachements to Storage Card?

Risking looking slow (as in disclosing something so obvious everyone else knew about it months ago), but I have just seen that in pocket outlook if you push and hold 0 (zero) or H you get a list of shortcuts that work if you push and hold them.

e.g. 9 or S = send / receive, 7 or D = delete, hence as there is not one for new you could change the soft key to new and I'd happily just push D to delete :)

[helmi_c]

guys... the assignment order for Storage/Extended_rom are more priority then Storage Card, so the first one to use in messaging is Storage/Extended_Rom we must change the order of both Storage & Storage Card, from there we'll be able to store attachment in Storage Card, unfortunately I dont planning to do so for now... been hell busy with real life stuff...

Do you know the French keyboard code ? Or where I can find a chart with country codes ? Impossible to change the keyboard after WM6 installation.

Thanks,

Mav

Great job Helmi.

I think this rom is a step forward for our universal.

But after a week using it i have a couple of annoying problems that make me think in going back:

1. I use Direct Push, and im constantly connected thru GPRS. The problem is i usually get disconnected without notice it, and when i realize, it's impossible to open a GPRS connection again. The only solution that works is disable and enable the phone or sometimes, i even have to soft reset.

2. I set up a sound and vibration for receiving a mail, and sometimes, that sound and the vibration stop working. The direct push continues working perfect, but i have no sound or vibration when i receive the mail.

I tried reflashing the device twice, and using withouth installing any apps but i still have those problems.
Living in Spain and using Vodafone.
Aku 3.5 worked perfect for me with the same configuration.

Is somebody else having these kind of problems?

Thanks everybody here for helping us to enjoy more our devices.

Having the normal GPRS crashes with radio 1.09. I downloaded a 1.13 to try, but get countryID errors, I tried a NOID version of the upgrade program but STILL got a country error, just a little later in the update process (still not flashed).

Firstly, does anybody know if 1.13 is any good for a radio rom, or am i better with 1.14 or 1.14.10 ? (and can you send it to me :p)
Second, what do I need to stop the country error on a radio rom upgrade.

Don't know if it will be the same for you but disable usb connections in Active Sync before running the noid upgrade. sorted out the problem for me.

Just thought I'd kinda bump this thread a bit. Both a friend and I have tried Helmi's v1.1 and JWright's Crossbow, and found Helmi's to be much more stable, especially on the phone front.

I think I'm experiencing less problems using Radio 1.13, rather than v1.14.1 - I've never found the v1.14 to see if that was any better than those.

Cheers,

Steve.

Is it possible to use the phone as webcamera camera for your computer?

[wtpelzer]

Does anyone know if you can get the HTC Task Manager as a seperate CAB?:D I was using PDAViet 2.00.70 and because OzVGA wasn't working very well on that OS :( I switched to Helmi's ROM which is great:D , except that I miss the task manager!

[Jjjasjar]

Hi Helmi,

Using Helmi latest rom I found that radio 1.13 fixed the GPRS lockups I was having. In fact the phone seems quicker to regain signal after 'tunneling' than before.
I was on 1.09, it sucked. 1.13 works really well.

Still cant get bluetooth headphones working! Using the alternate stack not the MS one.
A dedicated jabra150 headset works fine for phonecalls. My plantronics stereo headphones work for high quality audio (music) but dont work as a phone headset. No sound comes out or in. The phone thinks its working because there is often no sound on the speaker from the phone (not always!)
So i have to have both the jabra and the plantronics on to listen to music, then swap for a phonecall! Doh!
Any ideas?

I'll second that - I've tried a variety of Radio ROMs and I would say that 1.13 is the best of the bunch for me with Helmi's Crossbow. v1.11 looked ok to start off with on the data front, but the phone would often not receive calls. v1.14.1 just seems a bit flaky on the data front when moving around, so as I say, v1.13 gives me best performance.

For info, I'm running Helmi v1.1 on an O2 Xda Exec with a T-Mobile sim.

Cheers,

Steve.

Has aanyone found a way to view videos on the web through the jasjar such as youtube or google video??

[legion1911]

helmi rules the planet but we need an updated wm6 rom pretty pleaaaase!

[robertwebbe]

Has aanyone found a way to view videos on the web through the jasjar such as youtube or google video??

I have done a bit research on that last week; the problem is the flash version whitch is used by Google and YouTube.
They use version 8 and the Flash Mobile 2.1 version you can download is based on Flash 7. That's the reason it don't work. We have to wait for Flash Mobile 3.

At the 3GSM Nokia's CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasuvo announed a partnership with YouTube. Vodafone has also a partnership with YouTube so I think it does not take a very long time :)

[disruptorx]

but there is no mobile office or video call functionality!!dats sad!!!can this be fixd?and when?

WAITIN...........!

[disruptorx]

Can u please work on the video call function!and where is mobile office in this rom,i think its missing!

[Melty]

I'm confused that you don't seem to have Office Mobile as I have just installed this ROM and it's got Office Mobile (although only on the Start Menu by default apparently). I suspect that if you move it from there using the Today setup it will appear in Programs, but I'm not going to cos I'm happy has I am. If you really can't find it anywhere, try copying a word or excel document to your device and then clicking on it in File explorer. What happens?

[galt]

Has anyone else noticed this on this ROM? When Newsbreak is downloading an image for a feed, if you exit that feed item and go back to the feed list view the device hangs for 5-10 seconds. If you let the image load and then exit the feed item, no hang.

I didn't have this experience on AKU 3.2, installing the app or channel data to either SD or device doesn't resolve the issue.

[r_calimer]

Thank you so much for this wonderful rom that you made here for everyone to enjoy, it is smooth and so easy to work with, no locks ups, as of 6 hours working with it now.
just wanted to thank you for it.
