My First thanks to Football. As there was a mysterious A05 from Football embedded in his Magic x51v when he sold it, I've decided to continue his work with this A06 WM6.1 rom

Just few words to let you know that it's ongoing, It has now trueVGA embedded. And I plan to do it the same way I did the WM6 A00 FR private rom (http://www.ppccool.com/index.php?showtopic=7670).

Original thread here (http://www.ppccool.com/index.php?showtopic=8582).

Current status is:

Rom A06 privß06a "Antik" & privß06p "Pure":

WM6.1 Classic - CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.2) with "4.8 MB Pagepool"

Based on Ranju's v7.4 Universal rom

And includes the following

-- NetCF 3.5
-- SQLCE 3.5
-- BT FTP explorer
-- Softkey Applet
-- TCPMP 0.72 with subtitle support and YouTube support (Subtitle support for SMI in video "Intel 2700G" mode and not in "Intel 2700G Decoder" mode)

nota: You can also use the new Subtitle plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpsubssubtit/), just put subs.plg under \windows and go to tcpmp settings, subtitles to activate the plugin, It's great because it can run under "Intel 2700G Decoder" mode with higher performance than the older one. Thanks will5

-- PIE 6 with hi-res support for "Antik", PIE 6.1 with zoom for "Pure" and YouTube plugin
-- DF's PIM Backup 2.8
-- PocketRAR 3.71
-- PIE cache (temp, cockies & history) relocated to the root (\IE Cache)
-- Windows Live 10.6.33.0600
-- aximsite wireless switcher
-- x51v Mix
-- ozVGA and WM6.1 trueVGA dlls & applet
-- Mortscript 4.1

with following registry tricks:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryType =0 , (file based registry)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit=327 68
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\TcpWindowSize= 98304

thanks HappyMM, for your explanation on the registry.

I am still building it step by step, I don't seem to encounter any issues so far. Like I said I want to have it with the similar content that I have in the WM6 private french edition, or even better if possible. Once I'll have done basic unit test on it, I would appreciate to have some advanced user to do some beta testing. So those that are confident and used to test x51v rom can PM me.

Darn lucky guys with your X51v's lol.

Sadly Maglite left us X50v users with the last A03 WM6.0 setup. Works like a charm but hey, if we could also get 6.1 on our X50v someday that would be sweeeeet.

I still love how my old PDA that I bought back when it first came out new, has outlasted many other devices and is still one of the most powerfull devices out there yet.

just flashed your rom to my x51v. Worked perfectly well and my first impression is very good. Restored my contacts and stuff with the built in pim backup. Rom feels very responsive. Fired up WLAN and hooked up to my WLAN here at home with no problems.
Will install Navigon Mobile Navigator 6 later and see how that works with my BT GPS Receiver.

first, thank you very much for your great rom!!! it's great
but i have a question. how can we enable true vga mode? i made it using ozvga but in your first post, you said 2 dll files included. so, i understood that we will have true vga without using ozvga. is it true? if not, why did you put the wm6.1 dll files? we can enable it by ozvga in previous roms, i can't understand the difference

i really don't know this vga settings thats why i'm asking. i have expected truevga without ozvga

In this rom trueVGA is OOTB, via ozVGA. All the necessary files are there so no need to look for them, as they are OS dependent it's sometime hard to get them.

Might have found a bug. Running beta4 now, and tried to setup my gmail account for email. Basically everything seemed ok, but account setup wouldn't let me choose server type (pop/imap) manually and did setup the account automatically for pop3. I need imap though, which worked fine with wm6 roms.
Can you look into that? I think WM6 roms asked, if you want to automatic config or manual. I also cannot change the server type back from pop3 to imap when trying to edit account settings ...

Maybe this problem is only evident with certain routers? I have the D-Link DIR-655 and although I have to manually tell it to use TKIP and uncheck that it is a hidden network (it is not), once connected, I never have any problems staying connected or losing the password.

Alright, I figured out my problem with setting up imap email. Seems that WM 6.1 detects when you enter an "gmail" E-Mail address at the beginning and thinks it HAS TO setup your account automatically. So I tricked it and entered an E-Mail address like blah@gmailx.com at the beginning ... and bingo, I could choose if I want automatic or manual account setup.

About page pool, I try 4.8M and run faster than 3M.

boba23
24-03-2008, 04:03 PM
yes I love dat, will wpa2 finally work without problems? can also beta test your rom just pm me..

I think it's simply a hardware issue that the wlan adapter in x51v does not support wpa2. I never had the option of selecting wpa2/aes, neither in official wm5 rom nor in footbals wm6 nor in this wm6.1.
Correct me if I am wrong.

boba

will5
24-03-2008, 06:35 PM
could we have a 5mb pagepool? I don't know if its 3mb pp, but the system, sometimes gets a lot slower than wm6.

besides that, rom is working great!

makuu
24-03-2008, 06:53 PM
I build the rom with these registry tricks:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit=327 68
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\TcpWindowSize= 98304

They insure better performance but they use more memory, that is why I used 3 Mo of pagepool, to insure more then 30 Mo at reset to play 2700G games.

will5
24-03-2008, 07:01 PM
I though 2700g was not working under wm6 or 6.1, cause none of the 3 games (rally, toygolf, etc) were working at least under wm6.
these games works under 6.1?

HappyMM
24-03-2008, 07:03 PM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=4096

These caches will make system unstable. It is not a good idea to enlarge these values.

hey makuu,

is there a quick and easy way to change the layout of the softkeyboard in your rom? I have been trying to change keyboard layout for a while, also with footballs rom before, using the various registry tips available here in the forum, but it never worked for me.
All I would like is to use a german layout for the soft keyboard. System in english is absolutely fine with me.

These caches set as 0 is not "not use" but let the system to decide and write them back when necessary. If you make them "1000", when the system hangs up, you will lose important systemic data and make the whole system malfunction. You may try to set them back to 0 and set page pool at 4.8M. You will get a faster system. Try it, you will understand what I mean.

Maybe you are right I am confused, I have used these for years, I think you get those value also when I used sktools configured for better performance. These are alos recommended by Menneisyys for hx4700: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=the_concise_tutorial_to_making_your_wm5&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

However I'll try to change those values like you recommended.

Allrighty, I have flashed this ROM to my device. The first thing I noticed is how slow this is running (no offense). I can tell because whenever I click on my start button with WA2, it takes a lot longer than it did on WM5/A17 by Football. Not only that, when navigating the filesystem, or even closing/opening windows, it performs slowly. Other than that, I haven't had any other issues with wireless like other people have mentioned. I tested this on the Beta3 ROM. I think the 3MB PP is bad, try to increase it a little bit like others have mentioned.

Thanks once again!

Sorry, but in my eyes, there must be something wrong with your Axim. For sure this rom is the fastest I have seen on my x51v to date. I used official Dell Wm5 Roms, Footballs WM6 and now this. I get immediate responses when opening Start Menu or Browsing through the FS. Can't replicate your problems in any ways mate.

These are alos recommended by Menneisyys for hx4700

HX4700 has a very slow ROM. We have to do a lot of things to avoid the system to write back. Thus, those enlarged caches make HX4700 faster. But X51V's ROM is faster than HX4700. Enlarged caches make system unstable expecially when the system hangs up. The worst result will make X51V won't boot again. It is not worthy doing so. Lennysh's version makes no change about these caches. He sets page pool at 5M. This is why his version runs faster and more stable than yours.

By the way, let users to make these changes by themslves if they need it. This may be a resonable way.

Anyway, thanks a lot.

Sorry, but in my eyes, there must be something wrong with your Axim. For sure this rom is the fastest I have seen on my x51v to date. I used official Dell Wm5 Roms, Footballs WM6 and now this. I get immediate responses when opening Start Menu or Browsing through the FS. Can't replicate your problems in any ways mate.

boba

i dont think there is anything wrong with my device at all. this is slower, slower than lenny's build at least. Footballs' WM5 A17 release was faster than this as well. A17 and Lenny's WM6 just fly on my device. again, nothing wrong on my end.

EDIT: anything is faster than official Dell ROM :P

26-03-2008, 12:18 PM
You got it, see first post. I have followed HappyMM advices, it has 4.8 Mo pagepool.

The subs.plg is just great because it works on "Intel 2700G Decoder" mode, and that means really great performances. I don't want to include it now on the rom because it's still under development, I keep the old one because it can works under different resolution mode.

To change pagepool value use Paveld PPeditor (available at 1st post):

http://www.ppccool.com/images/makuu_360308_ppe.png

-Click on top button to select the nb0 file,
-Select the WM6.1 A06 Priv line,
-Choose the Pageepool value you want,
-Select the box under to ask for CRC file generation,
-Hit the down left button to apply (right to cancel). :)

Not a bug, just a FYI.

The built in TCPMP works great, just that the file associations are all set off. This makes certain file types to not auto-start (like PLS playlists from BeyondPod). I use TCPMP exclusively for media, so I set all associations on via the setting menu.

well, the only programs when this happens, were just spb pocket plus 4 (home plugin off).
with relative heavy load, 2 ie, file exp, and tcpmp, sometimes, when you press "start" seems like menu is gonna open, but it doesn't, that's not traditional lags, just feel like if the menu, can't roll. after close ie, menu roll again, but with corrupted icons.


programs like resco explorer was installed after

just a question, what is the pagepool for dell roms? Im playing with different pagepool, to see performance/memory test

the last build of windows live (0800), is bugged by the mail issue?

Well, other question, "goear.com" cause the IE to close, that happens in all wm5, 6, etc. There is a way to fix this? I think its because when you listen a song, through goear, it takes 4-8mb cache, and that´s a lot, but sometimes you can hear the song, without a problem

To make goear.com works, you need adobe flash 7, or maybe there is a better solution than adobe?

Billyvnilly, The content of the private rom is discribed on 1st post, I don't know exactly the content of lennysh rom. His purpose is to release a kitchen, mine is to develop a wm6.1 using the private concept that I already used when cooking the french A00 WM6 rom. The idea of the private is to have some x51v dedicated feature embedded in the rom e.g. TCPMP with 2700G support, wireless switcher, equalizer, trueVGA for x51V....

mphayvanh, TrueVGA applet are fixed in béta6. I am doing more unit test and finalization before uploading. About 128 DPI, I think it offers less compatibility with third part software.

It comes it two flavours:

Today Screen:

What version of windows live are you using exactly?

If you intend to put TCPMP, Windows Live, in your rom, why not converging into a single rom?
Just if you can also add Youtube support and trueVGA mode then I guess no need to maintain my ROM, we could all use yours.

My ROM does not have all the graphical fixes your ROM does for TrueVGA mode. TCPMP is easy to do, and including ozVGA is easy to do. But fixing all the missing icons, and other graphical issues have not been done because I've been busy getting a WM6 X50v ROM ready to release, and trying to get the X50v WM6.1 ROM to boot. As far as the graphics are concerned, not sure what all is even needed to be done there. You've always followed the TrueVGA related stuff, so you've been doing that for a while now.

The pure ROM is working smooth. Speed difference is very noticeable when file browsing the Windows directory using Resco Explorer or the built-in file explorer. Very fast. Boot up time with same start-up programs as my previous Football ROM is less than 35 seconds compared to 1:09 minutes.

I'm beginning to like the MSFT BT Stack. Widcomm Bluetooth Stack is much more efficient though but less compatible with 3rd party BT based programs (Sniper).

So, I love this ROM! Don't change it please.

Guys, I can't confirm a "general WPA issue" in any ways. Running WM6.1 Medkit on my x51v and running wm6.1 bepe on my Polaris. Neither of both shows any WPA password issues. I setup my home wlan once, and it works on BOTH like a charm. I turn on WLAN on my devices, takes a few secs, and booom I am connected. That's all that happens for me.

boba

I concur with this statement. I am currently running makuu's 'pure' ROM and I have not encountered a single issue (so far). However, with any of the ROMs I have tried dating back to Football's, I have not ever encountered the "general WPA issue" with the password being lost. I have used a D-Link DIR-655 router the whole time and I am starting to be convinced that the issue has everything to do with the router that the Axim is connecting to and very little to do with the Axim wifi drivers. I have left my Axim on for days straight just sitting idle and it never lost the password.

On a side note, I encourage LennySh and Makuu to work together on a single unified kitchen. ;)

Please stop telling wpa bug is not present, that wont help to resolve the problem

Im running 10 days straight with not even one pass lost, before the 10 days, I get the pass lost 5-10 times in a day.

I dont change a single cable in my installation, same router, same config, etc.

Same axim rom.

Its just a bug, that present ocassionally, and dont know why, suppose in certain situations, the router ask the pass again, and the axim cant answer

will5, I am not claiming that a problem does not exist with WPA and I think that it is great if LennySh has something available that might make it easier for folks that are suffering from any problems. I am merely suggesting that problems could be router related. You said that you have always used the same router... might I suggest that you verify that it has the latest firmware update and, if it does, try another router if possible?

Just a thought out of the blue, Routers assign an address on a lease, the lease renews on a preset basis. Generally speaking the lease is supposed to renew with the same IP address, but that does not always happen for some unknown reason. protocols such as WPA pass along a token based on certain variables. It could be that it is not the password, but the token that is being rejected due to a change in a variable. The account would have to be recreated to generate a new token.

Not that any of this is of the slightest value in coming up with a solution. I haven't been a programmer for the last 3 decades so I wouldn't even have a starting point for writing a fix :(

My First thanks to Football. As there was a mysterious A05 from Football embedded in his Magic x51v when he sold it, I've decided to continue his work with this A06 WM6.1 rom

Just few words to let you know that it's ongoing, It has now trueVGA embedded. And I plan to do it the same way I did the WM6 A00 FR private rom (http://www.ppccool.com/index.php?showtopic=7670).

Original thread here (http://www.ppccool.com/index.php?showtopic=8582).

Current status is:

Rom A06 privß06a "Antik" & privß06p "Pure":

WM6.1 Classic - CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.2) with "4.8 MB Pagepool"

Based on Ranju's v7.4 Universal rom

And includes the following

-- NetCF 3.5
-- SQLCE 3.5
-- BT FTP explorer
-- Softkey Applet
-- TCPMP 0.72 with subtitle support and YouTube support (Subtitle support for SMI in video "Intel 2700G" mode and not in "Intel 2700G Decoder" mode)

nota: You can also use the new Subtitle plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpsubssubtit/), just put subs.plg under \windows and go to tcpmp settings, subtitles to activate the plugin, It's great because it can run under "Intel 2700G Decoder" mode with higher performance than the older one. Thanks will5

-- PIE 6 with hi-res support for "Antik", PIE 6.1 with zoom for "Pure" and YouTube plugin
-- DF's PIM Backup 2.8
-- PocketRAR 3.71
-- PIE cache (temp, cockies & history) relocated to the root (\IE Cache)
-- Windows Live 10.6.33.0600
-- aximsite wireless switcher
-- x51v Mix
-- ozVGA and WM6.1 trueVGA dlls & applet
-- Mortscript 4.1

with following registry tricks:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryType =0 , (file based registry)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=0

So, could anyone reference me to the respective instalation procedure to this rom?

Its the same for all x51v, doesnt matter language, just search how to turn on your pocket in flash mode, and just put the 2 rom files in an sd card.

I don't know what's in Lenny's rom, I got confused by what zoom means for him. "Pure" is a pure WM6.1 rom means it has PIE 6.1 with the new Zoom out feature.

About the fix both "Antik" and "Pure" have wpa fix, webview fix is only in "Antik".

will5, beta005 has hybrid PIE from Universal Ranju Rom (like all previous beta). "Antik" has PIE 6, "Pure" has PIE 6.1.

I guess it's similar to lenny's, first rom have hybrid PIE and last one has PIE 6.1.

ursoouindio
07-04-2008, 02:58 PM
So, I flashed this A06 "Pure" WM6.1 rom in my x51v and would like to make some comments/questions...

First of all, i never had flashed a different rom to my axim and It was quite easy, it didn't matter that I had a non english device. It is running very well, thank you. Makuu, you've done a great work. It runs so much better than WM5.0 and have about more 2 mb of free ram.

I've already tested (not intensively, but worked) wifi, bluetooth, ir and a lot of applications and everything is working just fine. Now I'm looking to ask some friend's 8gb SDHC card to test on it!

I did not tested Pie, I will use Opera and NetFront anyway.

It's great to have TCPMP integraded. But, why keep Windows Media Player then? I don't like it and never used it. I guess it would be something to improve.

Another improvement that I would suggest is the Broadcomm stack, for bluetooth. This from M$ is horrible.

And another thing that catched me was the Block Recognizer. Seems very simple and functional!
Is it native from WM6.1? There where some characteres that I didn't realised how to do and I didn't find any help to see what is the shape the A is supposed to have. Also, it thinks my "a"s are "e"s and I would like to tell it that they're not. Is it possible? Every writing-input sotware i've used allow this.

I will keep on testing it, there are other features that look interesting and I did not used yet. By now, thank you very much for this Rom, Makuu. Works like a charm.

@makuu: Thanks for the ROM. Now i'm using lennySh's WM6.1 Beta 2.1 rom but i'd like to use real VGA. So can you give / upload ozVGA and WM6.1 trueVGA dlls you've include in you ROM please.
And one question: i think you've try your rom (of course) and lennySh's rom. What are the differences (except you've inclued TCPMP in ROM and ozVGA) I mean system driver, pagepool, registry hacks, ... ? Maybe i'll go back to your rom (the first wm6.1 i've tested)

makuu
10-04-2008, 09:38 PM
I think the last 2 rom are about the same, mine has trueVGA, MSN live, TCPMP but also the YouTube plugin using PIE & TCPMP. Lenny has other tool instead. I you want trueVGA, I suggest you use mine. I did a package for WM5 aku 3.5.2 in the past, you can find it @ aximsite, but those dlls won't properly fit for WM6.1. I didn't make any package for WM6.1, I don't use files but module so that won't help you unless you cook your own rom.

Hey Makuu, check out my post about HTC Home Plugin working on your ROM. All that is needed is two fake phone edition DLLs in the windows directory.

Hom Plugin on X51v (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384191)

Might be worth including in future rOMs. I have a feeling these DLLs will allow other XDA phone apps to work also.

Makuu, just be carefull with the lot more... I don't think people want a rom full of stuff that they can get (or not) just installing... I think that would be great if you released a slimmer rom and and other complements (.cab or something) with the extra goodies.

I've never used PocketCM and do not use my axim as a contact book, I use my cell phone for that. Maybe it's a great app and I could use it, but, for now, I don't have interest.

I am using your "pure" rom and loving it. But theres something strange, I left the ax charging overnight on the cradle (pc was off) and it did not wake me up this morning. The device just turned on with a soft reset. Maybe it is a rom bug.
Other thing is the "headphone booster" (X51mix) that doesn't work, it would not change the headphone volume in the range of 0 to 60% and if > 60% the headphone is muted.

again, thanks for all your work!

Cause the sound output, cuts, when the level is very high. Not only with the soft, even if you set a little high the x51mix values, when you change the "traditional volume bar" to maximun, sound cuts. That only happens when headphones are connected, so, its a sound output limitation, sure.

Yes, that is very reasonable.

I remember seeing on Dell's site that they updated the sound driver to attend to some (french i guess) regulation. I was looking for a brazilian update at the time.

I tested SRS and it worked nicely. It did not have a "phone boost" setting, but i've tested every other availabe setting and worked fine, can improve the sound quality but perhaps not the volume.

I would like to get it louder!

This is exactly how my X51v with WM5 A12 acts with headphones attached.
if I crank up the volume in PocketMusic, especially if I use the "boost" in the equalizer, the volume cuts way back, until I lower it to say 60-70% - anything higher and it cuts out again. So it must be related to that "french regulations" patch Dell issued...:mad:

Can you say more about the problem? Do you mean that you had an alarm defined in your axim and it didn't ring but soft reset instead. Can you try without leaving the device on the cradle?

ursoouindio
12-04-2008, 09:57 PM
well, I set 2 alarms to ring on specific hours, turned the device off and gone sleep. It was charging on the cradle (I don't normally do that, I charge it with the cable instead) but as I have synchronized with my pc, I left my device there.
So, I turned off the pc and the axim. It has ActiveSync running on it, as I could see on the task bar (WisBar Lite).

On the next morning, It did not woke me up (but I did woke at the time just by myself, damn routine) and noted that the axim didn't ringed. I tryed to turn it on, but just worked with a soft reset.

I will try the same thing on monday. I'm not at home this weekend. I've used it other days without the cradle and it worked normally...

Has anyone tried WPA-PSK/TKIP with this ROM? Does it work the same way as on WM5? I read here and there that it either doesn't work, or keeps losing password... Is there a definitive information on what exactly works and what doesn't? -- Thanks.

makuu, thanks for giving me your gift...07pure.

I'm testing my x51v...i dont know exactly...overnight...not awake..by power button...same bug? still...

I did activesync schedule setting...manually...pick time? unselect all...
is it only...my problem?
tomorrow i'll be back...:o

it seems to be the same thing that occured to me. I was charging it on the cradle (power cable was pluged) and pc was off. On the next morning, didn't turn on without a soft reset.

I've tested again last night, but not charging. I've synchronized and took the device from the cradle, it has AS still running and then turned it off.
This morning the alarms ringed normally. No unexpected behaviour noticed.
I am using an extended 2250 mah battery. It was 95% when turned off by night and in the morning was 91% (or not, I was sleepy).

I did not made the AS trick. I don't believe it's suppose to have anything to do with it, since when the bug happens to me it was on the cradle with an external energy source. When I did soft-reset after the bug, the battery was fine, I've used it all day.

So, maybe this was just a random bug and I would not care about it, but, as murjjin also had it, maybe it's something you should care about. Maybe there are other users with this problem and they did not comment here.
I still have to test it while charging on the cradle. Then, will apply the dummy server trick, I don't have much confidence on AS.

Thanks!

I have a new fix going in my next rom release. Hopefully this will fully fix this issue, but then again, I don't think I've had any complaints with my last fix yet either...

lenny, and when are you going to release next rom?


After test all roms, still using makuu beta 005, I think its very well balanced

with 006 PIE doenst work so good like 005, and the high res, is still (for me) the best option

Testing wm.61 pro, but having today plugins with some bugs like the keyboard one, doesn´t make too usefull. and many other things phone related, that dont use.

Obviously, is a great work to have so many options to choose from. :)

Hello makuu,

great work!
I,ve installed the pure version and i am satisfied about the speed.

I tested bluetooth gps and i have a problem that the device
is lost under "Devices" after ending the bluetooth session.
When i turn on the bluetooth gps again, i must pair it new.

A second problem i found is the Bluetooth PAN Feature have
someone tested this successfully? At "select services" i get no
Bluetooth PAN only "Dialup Networking" but my SE K800i should have
the Bluetooth PAN Feature.

I don't have problem with the professional rom and my BT338. I need to register it the first time but after that it's always recognized each time I turn on The BT. It should be the same on the classic rom as BT implementation is the same.

tested the alarm with AS running and battery charging, on cradle. Worked fine.

I supose it was a random (althought odd) bug after all...

I'm looking forward to test bluetooth now, with pc dongle and cell phone... But for that I will install the bradcomm stack first...
I don't have spent much time at home to play with this stuff, but if I notice something strange, will let you know.

I plan on trying priv 6 ROM. I haven't tried anything like this before, so just out of caution: if I have functionality issues, is there a way of going back to WM5 A12? Where would I get the A12 files for SD image loader? -- Thanks.

I encourage you to do so. :)

I was at the same condition.
For the files to get back, take a look on this tutorial: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/137015-tutorial-how-revive-bricked-x51-v-using-dommes-sd-rom-loader-tutorial.html

Another thing:

I can't synchronize my appointments on the axim calendar with my pc... It runs ActiveSync normally when on the cradle but then there's a exclamation point in the ative sync icon (on pc), meaning that something is wrong. So, there's a button to a report window that says that the events on my mobile device (lists all of them) can not be synched, and gives me the support code "1".

I'm using AS4.5 in english, winXP in Portuguese and the "pure" rom on this thread.

No known way, you need to find out how to revert nb0 to IMG. It would be maybe easier to solve your hardware problem.

hey thank you for getting back to me on this subject!
Yes, i kinda figured that. what is the difference between the two? How would one go about a converter? are there any out there? I seem to remember someone asking about this way back in the early football days??

thank you!

well found what i think was the original talk about a way to usb flash custom roms and it was in the xda forums for the foot ball 17 rom image. lennysh mentioned it would be conenient to have a kitchen and flash directly via usb. someone reported they were on the img2ng0.exe project. nothing seems to have come from that line of thinking. anyone have any ideas of a reverse ng02img?? or how to build a rom from the ng0 format and then convert it to img??

thank you!

Hello makku,

i've tried the professional rom and the bluetooth gps is working fine.
Maybe there is something different in the classic rom?

UPDATE (05.03/2008): For my just-published HP iPAQ 210 in-depth review, I’ve thoroughly tested the (multimedia) performance of the tested WM6.1 ROM’s and found them excellent. Also, I’ve specifically tested whether the ImageOn and the 2700G driver is correctly utilized by multimedia player apps aware of them in the iPAQ hx4700 and the Dell Axim x51v, respectively. They are. All in all, well done ROM cookers :)

See see Section 1.4 HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2169907) for more info & numeric results.

TIA

It is not a final, but I've got it for several weeks and it runs fine...

I just upgraded from a previous 6.0 rom to this one for my Axim x51v and so far I'm very happy with it, except for the fact that I cannot disabled Storage Card Encryption feature from the settings panel.

I uncheck it, then I close it and reopen it and it's still checked. This is a big problem because I try new roms often and end up saving a lot of the files on the storage card in order to retrieve them when I reflash the device. With the encryption feature enabled, those files will not be readable again.

Is there a way to force encryption off via a registry setting perhaps? i've looked but not found anything.

I installed Beta006 pure. This was based on reviews in this thread and on aximsite. My x51v is now fast and snappy, I love it. I cannot wait to get 8 or 16 gb sdhc card...it was second reason to install wm6.1. CF is to slow , bulky and expensive.
So far no real complains (run for 3 days) except for this glitch with uninstaller:

I could not uninstall Skype from "remove programs " list, when I clicked remove: it says "skype was not completely removed. do you want to remove it from list of installed programs" after yes, screen blinks and skype is still there. SK tools (4.1.25) is no help, it does not see skype in their installed program list. When i tried to reinstall skype, I am getting: installation was unsuccesfull. Cutting story short I did hard reset.
Today the same story: tried to reinstall resco today plug-in (plugin did not show up after installation). Again it is not possible to remove it from install program list and sktools dont see it.

Is it any way to fix it or installer list could be edited manually? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I do not really want to do another hard reset or go back to dell a12 rom after having makuu rom for few days. Big thanks to makuu and everybody else who contributed. This rom is fantastic and I want to live with it for rest of my axim life or till beta007 is ready,:)

cheers

hei!
i'm using a 16 gb Markvision SDHC , it was the cheapest one heheh

You installed Skype after flashing the rom right? I am using this rom and don't have this app. Good to know that it may have problems, i'm thinking on installing it soon.
And I am using spb pocket plus today plugin flawlessly. Don't know why you couldn't run Resco's.

My device isn't as stable as I would like, but it could be because I've installed a lot of different softwares... But it's better than WM5, for sure.
And this odd alarm bug that the device is ringing at strange times everyday (like on the middle of the night), without having respective alarm set up. I am trying to understand it.

I have had problems with Resco too. To get the Today plug-in to work, I've installed it, reset (nothing there) Installed it again and gone to the Today setting area, and it IS THERE. Very finicky, you have to play around to get it to show up on the Today screen. I think you can forget about totally removing Resco, I've not been able to, so I just Install it and use it (the file explorer version I won from Aximsite).

I also want to know the answer to "efishta"'s question about file encryption!

chrisg3
11-05-2008, 02:57 AM
The reason I had to uninstall skype it had voice quality problem. But this could be bad internet connection/traffic problems. I was not sure if it was my axim/new rom or internet connection so decided to uninstall, just in case...and so I learned about uninstall problems.
I will try with resco today plugin in next few days, may be i will get it to show up...
I also Have Spb pocket plus, but did not tried it yet...

Launcher, which i downloaded from aximsite, works very well, very fast (and small) and FREE.

I also have problem with "persistent" storage card encryption, it keeps comming back, no matter how many times is ticked off...
I don't see it as big problem yet: I can read word files on my laptop which were generated on WM5 but edited and saved on current rom. I start new file on WM6, save to the card and check if it reads it on another PC or on Nokia E50 Quickoffice.

I guess I am lucky not having alarm problems.

Makuu beta006 pure hasn't got all TCPMP pluggins. I had to install flac, speex and ogg pluggins. I am not sure what the first two do, but had them installed on WM5. ogg I really need to play some of my music.

cheers

Well to be fair (and short, typing this on the Axim) it doesn't seem to be affecting the actual files being saved on the storage card. They seem to be written without encryption since I can read them on a separate card reader.

I do have a file that was written with encryption that leads me to believe that initially it was writing with encryption enabled but when I unchecked the option in the settings I think it disabled encryption but it still stays stuck with the checkmark on.

Regardless there is no issue on my end so I'm not worried about it anymore.

I taring to use the Spectec SD WiFi SDW-821 802.11g WLAN. The problem is the card responding (diode blink) but it not connecting to any application.
Only the internal WiFi wok properly. Even if the internal WiFi work I see the diode on the Spectec sometime blinking.
Also the Dell WLAN utility lacking the setting portion. I load the Spectec driver ve WM6 driver.
Any body have some problem using external 802.11g or any other with the version 6.1?
Any body have some solution?

Thank to all that develop the 6.1 . Finally we can use more then 2GB.
One note: when I first time plug in the 8GB SD it did not recognized it utile I make cold reset.
Could not put any file on the Trancend 8GB SDHC. I have to first crate directory and put it to that directory.

My alarm oddity:

I'm using the default alarm manager from WM6.1. It has 3 alarms that I can "check" or "uncheck". Each one you configure the alarm hour, the week days it rings, the sound and other minor settings.

I have 2 of them checked and configured: The first one rings 6:43 AM and the second 6:47 AM. They both ring from monday to friday and the minor settings are also the same. The third is unchecked and I never used it.

But, (I guess it was since I was messing out with the hour and time zone, but at the end I've returned previous condition) my axim does not alarm 2 times / day, from monday to friday, it does SIX times: 1:15AM, 1:20AM, 6:15AM, 6:20AM and the expected 6:43AM and 6:47AM. On the weekend it does not alarm.

Yes, it is a very annoying disfunction. I've looked around on the alarm settings but there are nothing that would do it, the clock settings are very simple. Since it is a problem with the time management from the OS, I guess it could be a problem with the rom (or even WM6.1).

Any suggestion on what could it be or what could I do?
I'm thinking on reflashing the axim, but I really don't want to go over installing and configuring it all over again....
