WOW!!!!!

Awsome Job!!!

It's is fast and stable. Tested gps garmin and igo8 no problems for so far. I'll be on the road with it today to give it a good run. It really is Amazing work you've done Spiaatie!! I've had my 4700 upgraded to 128mb so there's a good 89mb free for running programs. Is it possible for you to make a cab to install the phone apps. I'ed like to see if it will work with a gsm card I have. I use running voice gsm to test and it works but it's a really old app.

Great Work!!!!

Thanks!!!

Cheers.

So far so good. It fast and stable. About bluetooth connections all works, except I still can not pair with my phone as bluetooth modem (dial-up networking). It suddenly jump. It said: The connection failed and could not be reestablished. Try to use with 'modem is' to set the apn provider, still can not connect.

I use old school T68i (bt 1.1) and Nokia 2865i (bt 1.2).

Any idea?

Any issues with WIFI?

Great job Spiaatie!!

The ROM is working almost perfectly for me. I seem to be having some issues connecting to WIFI networks. I have tried open and WPA networks which connected once, but can't seem to reconnect again

Is anyone else having issues?

Thank you so much for the ROMs!!

Thank you so much for the ROMs!!

I can always reconnect, but sometimes it's necessary to push WiFi button twice - first time it turns on and quick off, and then with second all is ok.

It's so cute that you put your own copyright in the About screen, as if you made the OS or own any part of it!

Hey Spiaatie, which Smartphone resources WM6.5 kit do you recommend for the 4700.

Sorry I didn't read all the way through. Those resourses are for non touch. I will follow your advice and search XDA Site.

Do you plan on releasing a kitchen for the 4700 for those of us who want to be daring??

Cheers.

Guys i have problem with PC connection :/ At Widnows7 and Windows XP don't see my iPAQ! I have this USB connection error :/ U got a good solutions for this? ?

 

[Badwolve1]

Put your iPAQ In BL Mode, connect it to a computer running XP (Vista needs special drivers), unzip the files to the top level of a local HDD, run bootloader.exe, grab a donut

Hope this helps

Yea it seems to be working for me now, I can't replicate the problem I was having before, so its all good here.

Really appreciate the effort Spiaatie!
