I have the same problem - pressing calculator keys doesn't result in anything, the numeric display stays blank. Pressing some of the keys the "+" and "m" would light-up as pressed big portion of keyboard - many of the keys.

Otherwise I love it. :)

26th February 2008, 04:35 AM
Nice job Ather90!
What RAMDisk size have you kept?
I was seeing on one of your post on some thread about your findings on survival of RAMDisk-contents after Hard reset.

May I add to it for all those who want to know more about it that:
When you flash another ROM having larger-than-before RAMDisk size then the contents shall survive the Hard reset. But, when you flash the ROM having RAMDisk size smaller-than-befor then the RAMDisk contents shall be lost.

Secondly,
I have released the upgrade (version 6.1.1b.16CS) Which has major changes over first release. So use that for your works and you shall get still better results.

thanks shekhar for clearing this out..i have downloaded your rom and will work on it as soon as i get some time apart from my college studies..the ramdisk size is same as it was before i.e 15.96 MB

@insaint..i will check this in the next release

@k_blal and all :

The hidden feature is the Edited Upgrading utility ( didnt u gouyz notice some difference )

@rac..No i havent used all the PD's Vista suite elements but will share them in the Form of Addons later

@ather90

The "Calculator bug" appears after changing regional settings to German (and others??).

insaint
27th February 2008, 08:09 AM
It would seam that changing the regional settings is indeed relevant to the problem, however upon examining other skins, it would seam that poorlyduck's skin, is a little bit out of "spec". I prepared a fix. Since I can not change files on the ROM, the solution isn't elegant, but it works nonetheless. I was unable to make a .CAB, sorry. My CAB Manager is constantly crashing. Feel free to make a .CAB as you see fit. :)

To apply the fix:
- Copy .PNG files to "\Windows" folder
- Use the .REG file to change registry
or
- Use Registry Editor to manualy change registry, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Calculator and change key "FileType" from "gif" to "png"

hi guys i took this rom...i looks great, but the ramdisk is not sufficient for me so followed the steps of c-shekhar

1. Extract NK.nba
> xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0×20040304

2. Open NK.nba with a Hex Editor
3. Go To Address 0x00456250 (since this is a WM6.1)
4. modified as follows:
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 04 --> 64 MB program, memory: RAMdisk= 64MB
4. Updated the Image Check Sum
> xda2nbftool -c -u NK.nba

5. Repack as NK.nbf
> xda2nbftool -x NK.nba NK.nbf 0×20040304

6. Put in the same directory as HimaUpgradeUt.exe or HimaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe

7. Flashed normally

but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have a problem i keep getting the error that the check sum is incorrect

can any one tell me were is my mistake ? please any one ?
one more thing i didn't know how can i modify the nk.nba to change the registry for the right size of the ramdisk !!! so that when i will flash this rom i will get all these changes delete

faraz.riaz
27th February 2008, 07:21 PM
The ROM is fast and stable. Amazingly the internet sharing does work. But A2DP doesn’t work and I can’t use Voice Command via Bluetooth. Also, 4 GB SDHC card is not working on it either.

Ather
28th February 2008, 12:11 PM
I dont think you are following the Hima WM6 forums area because you CANNOT run SDHC cards on the Hima yet !! ..


@ all

I will be releasing another verison of my WM 6.1 soon ( actaully on completeing my 1000 posts :) )

Yes, the same for me. It happend after I tried to install my wifi drivers, so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use activesync again.

I also had this problem, but i fixed this by turning off the option "recieve all incoming beams" in my settings.

Hi, there im trying to improve my xda skills for some times , bot i have a big prob every time if flasch to wm6. no active sync!! Allways this answer with the prototype ect. After changing USb TO PC Settings the devive blocs every action. Then i tryed to sync after i changed WM5torage to aktive - still no chanche to sync because of the leak of driver.
I still use active sync 3.8 and 4.0 on two notebooks, cause there was no reason to change till now. This bug in the calculator is noting , because wm6 is english. Try to translate it to German with the help of the german kitchen of teflock. donīt know if itīll work but i hope so.

Cool, works fine. But i still have probs to connect to Internet. Even with my SD-Wlan Card connected to my router something is wrong with the connection settings. i donīt know why it needs settings at all. And what about this WLAN MANAGER? I thougt only the 2i has got Wlan onboard.

muckelmaus
18th March 2008, 10:59 PM
My advice-Allways try twice!
Now internet via USB works fine. Just my Pluscom SD WLan Card dosnīt work, like in the WM6Pro Rom, I flashed last time. Maybe someone can help me, because I think itīs my fault. My skills on WM5 and 6 are quite poor, like my englisch.

With a few backups of the Extended Rom and/or Storage or the original FlashRom from the O2-Homepage and the help of this tiny tool PPCPimBackup.cab you can export and import back and forth. HimaDocTool and HimaDocTool Restore are important and working really fine. Flashing and testing the ROMs is a big fun, because both are great work. I think, it wouldnīt be fair to discuss wich one is better, because they are different and both worth to be tryed.

I used the extended rom unlocker to get Storage of 30.53mb
i also have program memory of 77.23MB of which 17.78 is in use and 59.46 free

when i install and cab programs the only place i can install to is Storage ( i have no choice as i dont get an option for anywere else)
how can i install stuff to program memory? is program memory the RAMDisk?

Also i cannot browse the web over wifi
I installed my Spectec wifi card and it picks up an ip address etc
but i cannot borwse any pages, even my router's config page.
in ie i just get a "cannot connect" error and tells me to change connection

muckelmaus
20th March 2008, 09:05 PM
For me, I use HimaDOC Tool as discribed in a thread to get big Storage, But even without I was asked to install on device or on RAMdisc. After unlocking installing on EXTROM too, I think, but Iīm not sure anymore. After upgrading the old Win2k3 cabs in the EXTRom were still there, it disappeared after using HimaDOC, but this is logic, because the storage is reorganized. We both have the same WIFI prob. I think it is a prob with Internet sharing, we canīt choose WiFi to get the net.

Did anybody wonder about, that it seams to be impossible to deinstall progs with -Settings -Managed Programs. There isnīt anything in there! Even AS4.5 dosnīt help. With the tool named ThrottleLauncher, I found a way to try to deinstall the way as in wm2k3se. But no way to get rid of testing zombies, the Data-storage is nearly full-I think I have to hard reset. Some of these progs make confliks so my Start menu dosnīt behave like it should do. I think maybe this might be an effect of ramdisk beeing soft-reset resistend.

No need to be so extra cautious. This is place for daredevils who dont sometimes care for the breach of warrantee. So the advice is .... take a plunge and you shall definitely enjoy. Use Dotfred's ppcpimbkup utility for 2003 for backing up your SMS and restore them using same utility for WM5 .

Thanks, a lot for the link. Meanwhile I found the reason, why i couldnīt download.
I had to switch to IE-Tab, because I usualy use firefox. Only with the IE-Engine Buzzdev.net supports the possibility to download. I tryed to edit my last post but you were faster than me. I think, I have to learn a lot more than i know now, but my German WM6 based on Teijak with HTC Home and Cube etc is nearly finished. Working great. Guys, you are the best.

To enable the Power Battery Icon at system tray:

"ShowIcon"=dword:1


To Enable the ScreenRotate Icon at system tray:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"ShowIcon"=dword:1

and if this doesent work try looking into pocket mechanics settings..maybe there is an option ticked by default to hide the battery meter from the tray..maybe it putted it next to the clock

I've tried:

Hi Ather! Thanks for the great ROM! but one thing bothers me - the sound notifiers/alerts. Even if i have set it to my desired sound alerts or tones, it didn't plays it when, for example, i receive a call; It plays only it's default tones and the same with the SMS receive alert tone. Is there any fixes for this? thanks!

Great news Ather!

Please do add GSFinder as the default File Explorer it is much more useful than the good old File Explorer which is a useless creation. Also, please, include the phone utility which enables multiple contact selection. Allah waastay ye kaam zaroor kerna bhai!

And yes please, guide me, if you can, I have Qtek 2020, Pocket PC Phone. I use your rom; the Wifi/Wlan only shows the link: Turn ON WLAN when i tap this link nothing happens. The same was the case with shekhar's previous roms.

Just read about UC and A2D ,those are 2 awsome and well thought out programs and will make this rom really special to use.A2D reminds me of a program on the PSP called InstallOtron by Fanjita and his crew,it has been adopted by loads of developers and makes choosing and upgrading software a pleasure,it connects to the PSP Homebrew Database (http://www.psp-homebrew.eu/) to download the latest software.I hope you get your Qtek2020 tommorow,i am looking forward to loading this rom on my qtek and having fun with UC and A2D :)

Just upgraded a Himalaya that work had doing very little and it all went very easily. Had to do the HimaDOC to get TomTom installed on it, there wasn't a huge amount of installable space for progs.

Have to say that so far all seems very stable and fast.

I used the extended rom unlocker to get Storage of 30.53mb
i also have program memory of 77.23MB of which 17.78 is in use and 59.46 free

when i install and cab programs the only place i can install to is Storage ( i have no choice as i dont get an option for anywere else)
how can i install stuff to program memory? is program memory the RAMDisk?

Also i cannot browse the web over wifi
I installed my Spectec wifi card and it picks up an ip address etc
but i cannot borwse any pages, even my router's config page.
in ie i just get a "cannot connect" error and tells me to change connection
have wifi issue ever got resolved, I spend hours , no go.
Had to reflash to c_shekhar wm6 rom: although comms manager still does not pick up wifi I can use exporer etc. It was working fine in wm5 flash

22nd April 2008, 08:22 AM
I am sorry about the WIFI issue..will try to fix it

@ ALL

Yesterday i was trying to soldier my connector..i Broke the connector , Broke the USB cable..and also damaged the PCB :( :(

So i think this is the End of the road to Hima for me ( until i get another )

I had a lot of Fun time here
Bye

I've seen this once, the culprit was some stupid utility. So please try with no additional software.
Another time I thought that the problem reappeared but soon found out that I accidentally muted with the volume slider... (I'm blonde ;)

Hello Ather and every one
First of all, thanks for your grate ROM, I have just upgrade from WM2003 so it is like to drive in A mercedes instead of in an old auotobianchi.
It is fast and stable.
My only problem for now is that my SD WI-FI LAN card (PRETEC), is not working, and i can't enable the wi-fi feture in the connection setting wisard.
Any idea how to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I'm new here.

I've a Qtek 2020 since 2005 with Windows Mobile 2003 and I never have used it.
It has:
ROM version: 1.75.04ITA
ROM date: 01/20/05
Protocol version: 1337.24
ExtROM version: 1.75.104

My problem, at the moment, is to install JAVA software, but JAVA is supported on WM5 and WM6 only. :mad:

How to solve the problem? I've to buy a new PDA? :)

Can I update Qtek 2020 to Italian WM5 or WM6? Where to download the upgrade?

Thanks to all!
Bye.

Hi.
Thnaks for quick reply.

When I try to follow the instructions (Noob hot to install.txt) I read on the display Serial, after that "USB" (after I connect the device to the PC).

After that I execute the file HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the local disk of the PC but after 2-3 minutes I obtain the error 101: connection error.

Please note that I've installed the last version of ActiveSync (and it works fine with normal use of the Qtek 2020).

Please note that I've Windows Vista Ultimate on my PC.

What can be the problem?

Thanks again.

Ather
30th November 2008, 05:17 PM

Thanks for the prompt reply Ather. Just one more thing. How do I deactivate the threaded SMS? After years of getting used to the "unthreaded" SMS, this one is a bit unnatural. I read in shekars thread that they have a .cab file for this. Will it work in your ROM? Thanks!

Sorry to bother you again Ather but I noticed that all programs I install are being stored in the STORAGE (30.53MB) memory instead of the PROGRAM (77.23MB) memory. I installed them from .cab files I placed in my SD card. Is this supposed to happen or is there something wrong with my system? Sorry for being such a noob. If there is a thread that explains this can you direct me to it so I can read and understand it better?

Thanks!

Programs:
HTC Home
HTC Action Screen
HTC Home Customizer
TCPMP
Total Commander
and several others.... I found them all here in xda-developers.

Ooooooopps!

Ok I found the explanation already in this thread! :)

Funny thing is I already went over this thread and did not notice it because i was not looking for it back then. Any way so if I understand it correctly, we cannot put the programs in the PROGRAM memory.

Thanks Ather!

Remember to make a copy of your personal data, eg. with the help of PimBackup WM2003 version, as all those information will be lost.
A backup of the OS you use now is usefull, too. In case something goes wrong or you are not confinced of the WM you flashed.
Most important is that you read carefully first, all information you can get about flashing and the rom you want, untill you are really sure about it. Good luck, and nice to see you here. There should be no prob to flash, in case you are well prepared.
