Great, Maglite, I've been running your ROM's without hassle, thanks for your efforts, I'll report any bug if any.

Everyone, let's try to keep this thread as uncluttered as possible!!!

I copied this from the original WM6 thread as it seemed to have helped some people there:

Here is the way to get into the SD Image Loader on the first try (as one try is all it should take!). This is meant to supplement MagLite's directions (step 2 through 4):

Step 1) Press and hold the Power Button + WiFi (Hardware) Button
Step 2) While holding those two buttons, QUICKLY PRESS AND RELEASE the Reset Button on the back of your Axim. The "press and release" is for all practical purposes a simple "tap" of the reset button. NO NEED TO HOLD THE RESET BUTTON IN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. NO NEED TO PRESS THE RESET BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES.
Step 3) Continue to hold the Power + WiFi buttons until you see the white screen with a blue "banner" at the top which states the SD Image Loader version
Step 4) Once you see the above screen, release all buttons and the ROM image from your SD card should be listed on the screen
Step 5) Press the Center Button (this is what is referred to as the "Action Button" or "Action Key") on the D-Pad (front directional pad on your Axim) TWICE QUICKLY
Step 6) Sit back and wait for your device to flash with the ROM

Alarms bug already patched in this rom

[MagLite_RUS]

RTM - release to manufacture

[MonarchX]

Great! Thx! Besides the alarms, is anything else new?

Does not having A02 boot loader have a down side ? I still show "SD Image Update A01" ... I have succesfully updated to PR1, RC2 & RC2 .. now I am updating to RTM

[Gadianton]

FYI,

I tried pagepool 4, 6, and 8megs of the A02 RTM rom and it made no difference in the ebook page down scrolling update mentioned in the previous thread (where when scrolling an ebook the first 20% of the screen updates then pauses and then updates the rest).

I'm just gonna stick with the pp 4 version as it is very good.

I hoped that saved some people some time.

Hi :

I'd read all the posts since the first release of this WM6 and I have a question about the activesync. When I sincronice the pda, the activesync programm always stay in memory. Is there any programm to close it automatically when it stops the sincronization?

The filesys problem is a big problem to the user that are using the axim all day, like me. I have too the server patch, but the pda normally once a day I have to softreset it. I read a lot with the prssreader and i use it to put my notes, use the hp48 simulator in my work and read a lot of pdf files because I do not want to wear all the papers to my home. For me the axim is very important in my life and it is with me since 3 years with 3 batteries.

Thanks to MagLite to all his work

ALL Windows Mobile programs stay in memory.
Calendar, Contacts, Calculator..... everything.
You can get 3rd-party software that actually closes programs and that will also work on ActiveSync but the OS, out of the box, only closes programs as needed when resources get too low.
Battery Bar, Pocket Plus, WisBar, and a hundred more all have program closing capabilities.
