@simonsalo

Well, install all cabs in the extended rom is not mandatory. But you need the following cabs if you want to use all possibilities of your BA:

Album_BA_AKU26_RC23_Midi.cab (this cab works with your camera)

ArcsoftMMS_3.0.7.6.cab (if you send and receive MMS)

BA_WW5_SMS_Alert_fix.cab (if you want to see the name of the person who is calling you)

Java_10.1.2.76_BA_WWE_unremovable.cab (needed for IE)

PVPlayer_WWE_AAC.2577.cab (used together with ArcsoftMMS)

Signed_HTC_CameraPatch_2.3.sa.cab (camera patch)

@_TB_TB_

This is how I add files (ie: boot splash image) into a nk.nbf file. If you feel confortable with it, you can try.

I use "IMGF tools" and "rgucomp.exe" to modify the ROM.

The process is as follows:

-With xda3nbftool.exe, I convert the original nk.nbf file into nk.nba

-With IMGF tools, I prepare the nk.nba file to antoher format so I can extract, delete, add files (You cannot replace an extinsting file for a new one if you don't delete first the old one) or make a dump of the whole ROM (all directories and files) into a directory (I use the this option). The registry is in two files: default.hv and user.hv

-Then I use "rgucomp.exe" to convert the registry (default.hv and user.hv) into a text (ASCII) file to modify the values.

-Once this is done, I convert the new ASCII files into UNICODE files and I use again "rgucomp.exe" to convert the UNICODE files into default.hv and user.hv

-I copy the new files to the dump directory to replace the old files. I also can add some new files (programs, dll, etc) to the dump directory (This is how I have updated the Camera and Pocket MSN)

-When all this is done, I compile the dump directory to build a nk.nba file.

-Finally, with xda3nbftool.exe I rebuild nk.nbf file

Stuck on 4 strips boot screen

Hi There,

I have just updated the modified Artz version of WM5, after reboot the windows get stuck on 4 colour strips screen.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem? thankyou
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
Did you do a full WM5 hardreset?

The most annoying thing in all the WM5 in BA is the hardware keyboard lagggg:(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ArtZ:
@Thuanfx

I supose you can you see but I haven't test it.

@Juggles

You can find the tools here:

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/BlueAngel/WM5_ArtZ/ROM_Tools.rar

@SKassam

I don't understand your question. UNLOCK what ? SIM unlock ? Extended_ROM unlock?

-If your talk about unlocking the phone, I don't see the point to have that included in the ROM... once your phone is unlocked, you don't need the program any more.

-If you talk about the Extended_ROM in your device, you don't need that either. When you use "DOC_Restore_1.0.exe" (included in WM5_ArtZ_WWE.rar), you will get 31MB extra in your BA but this is transparent. The Extended_ROM is now in your in your SD Card and old "Extended_ROM" and "Storage" folders in your device under WM2k3 will be used as extra memory for Windows.

@noed98

Hi Aussi! I forgot to tell I recommend after flashing the a WM5 ROM to do a hard reset and clean the registry as explain _TB_TB under your post. I forgot to say something else... I love Australia. I was in Sydney last time in February/March this year for Madi Gras and I bought my first XDA O2 in Sydney in 2003... Next time, I go there you will pay me a drink, ok? ;-)

@All

I have some good news... My BT blue diode is now flashing even when the phone is off... I found out changing the "CacheSize" and "Flags" settings have consequences on BT and Today screen. I keep on testing different settings. Your help will be highly appreciated!

Testing differents values of CacheSize and Flags in the registry keys I gave you before, I realized that the "Bluetooth headset mode" will appear/disappear from the Today Screen. First I though it was just a display error but after a while I understood it was a memory allocation problem.

I was tonight at a japanese restaurant with my friend. I wanted to call some friends to join us for a drink and before I turned on the BA, I saw that the blue diode was blinking!!! After my call, I turn off the BA but the diode was still blinking... I whished for the first time to have a headset! Well, I will keep you informed...

I cannot get anything at the link on the "ftp" though I did go and download the cache cab again but there is no Screen Lock applet when I execute it. I have looked at the programs, setting, etc. but cannot find the Screen Lock applet.

Congrats ArtZ

Great stuff, I've installed this over the weekend. Apart from the difficulty finding things caused by the new OS all seems to be well.

The CAB for correcting the cache size values is missing the first value, and doesn't include the later added values, so these were put in manually.

Regarding the BT issue, I seem to have BT stay on when I turn the device off, but when I turn it back on then the BT shuts down.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] gothier:
Beause of the notification problems with Tuma 1.4 I tried this ROM last weekend.

Works pretty good for me :D : No Wifi Problems, Phone rings with first or second tone. No resets or hangings so far.

ActiveSync has problems disconnecting after removing the device from the cradle (sync with desctop).

I can confirm, that my Bluetooth LED binks even after the device is turned off. Since I have no BT headset to test, I can´t tell you if the BT issue is still present.

"Device Lock" would be great :)

Problem with GPRS

First of all let me congratulate you on an excelente job with this rom.

I've been using it since you posted it and i think it's the most stable to date on my BA.

I just have one problem. I am an heavy GPRS user and in this rom i'm unable to get it to work. I configure the connections correctly but when i click on the icon near the clock on the titlebar it doesn't show me the connections i've just configured.

Is there something i'm missing or is this a problem?

Thanx and keep up the good work.

Ivan WM5 v3.3 R5.2 is faster than this one and it also use MS Bluetooth Stack.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ahegazi:
I agree. Ivan's so far is the fastet (though ar are still slow). I also noted the following:

1. Camera "About" says it's version 2.11. Not 2.3 as the CAB when installing.

2. Messages are not working at all. I did hard reset 3 times and faild to turn it on.

I'm back to Ivan's again

Phone Problems with this ROM

I had unrelated problems trying to get Destinator (navigator program) talking to my Bluetooth Parrot car kit GPS unit, so I downgraded to 2003SE so I could have navigation again.

Low and behold, as soon as I did this I got a bucket load of SMS messages relating to missed calls.

While using this rom I did send and receive calls successfully, but I obviously missed a lot of them too.

I guess it's a hard question to ask, but has anyone else had reports of missed phone calls? I did have the green light flashing indicating I had coverage at least for some of the time I was missing calls too.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ArtZ:
I've been out for a few days but meanwhile I have decided to improve Ivan's R4.2

As usual, I have made 2 ROMs, one in WWE and another one customized for Orange France (with French keyboard)

What's new?

-Lastest Widcomm version 1.7.1 Build 3400 with patches for Headset (It should be fully working now, but I couldn't test it cause I don't have one).

-Bluetooth doesn't turn off when you switch off your BA and BA shouldn't turn off if a Bluetooth connection is on.

-Camera (2.11 RC2.3 build 20245) supports MPEG4, Contact Pictures and Picture Editor.

-Set Security applet is now included.

-Nice keyboard skin (working also when you change the HW keyboard to French, but On Screen keyboard remains in English)

-Lots of new registry settings to improve reliability and stability.

-Extended_ROM is back to the device, but I will change it later back to the SD Card. (Don't forget to use DOC_Restore_1.0.exe to revert extended ROM changes to factory settings and use ExtROMUnlocker_WM2005_Only.cab to copy the extended ROM files into the "Extended_ROM" directory. Once this is done, check that all cabs are in "Read Only", LOCK the Extended_ROM with ExtROMUnlocker and HIDE it. Do now a hard reset and everything will be installed)

Here're the download links:

WWE:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/BlueAngel/WM5_ArtZ/WM5_BA_Widcomm_WWE.rar

FRA customized :

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/BlueAngel/WM5_ArtZ/WM5_BA_Widcomm_FRA.rar

I hope you will like them ;-)

NB: After install (or hard reset), you may find during the first minutes after that your BA works a bit slow. Don't worry, this is normal behaviour but in normal operation, you will find this release really fast.

Much faster, but BT headset is not working properly.

It will connect to the headset fine, but when I try to answer a call using the button on the headset it doesn't work. When you press answer on the screen you get audio on the BA and headset!!!

Also it didn't install the programs from the SD Card, so I did them manually.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ArtZ:
@inforce

Hummm... As I don't have a headset it's difficult for me to test but I think the problem could come from a value in the registry. Could you modify manually this value?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Widcomm\Plugin\HandsFree]

"SupportedFeatures"=dword:00000037

"ServiceMask"=dword:00000001

"AudioSetupDll"="\\windows\\HTC_PCM_Routing.dll"

"AudioPreferences"=dword:00000002

"AudioHandling"=dword:00000008

for this one:

"AudioHandling"=dword:00000013 (13 in HEX or 19 in DEC)

you can also try to set this value to "AudioHandling"=dword:0000001

Hope that helps. Please let me know if that works and I will patch it.

Thanks.

Hello ArtZ

I just want to thank you for ur work on this enhanced rom, I have tested

almost every wm5 rom released for BA and ur latest rom I just got last

night is the best of all,especially with the latest Bluetooth stack, I can

send/Receive files..etc.. with almost any device..which it wasn't possible

with previous roms ( Mamaich,Tuma, Ivan... ) and the speed/stability are

good enough till now...

By the way I have the SD card version of Extended ROm which fails to

install the Cab files automatically but that's not a problem at all..

I installed them manually.

Also a boot screen like the one used in Tuma1.4 ( Blue Female Angel )

would be nice to add ;)

Thx again for enhancing this Rom,

This is strange, but I got Photo Contacts in the list of programs. I dont know why Photo Contacts is there since its built into Contacts anyway!

Anyways I tried to run it and it gave me this error..

Database Initialization Failed. (f0009859) 997:100:10

I am assuming this was installed as part of the Extended Rom CAB Caller_ID_BA26_Generic_WWE_RC21.CAB. Am I right? If so, what is the purpose of installing it? Can I do without it?

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ArtZ:
@fadhelam2k

Photo Contacts shouldn't be there. You probably have installed an optional cab which install Photo Contacts in the list of programs. When you start the camera, you will see an extra icon which allows you to take small picrures (same size and definition as Photo Contacts).

@SKassam

SD version DOES install cabs from the SD card, but you have to validate the location and/or installation for each cab. I couldn't find a solution for that. But probably someone else have an idea to solve this issue.

@edgariu and @SKassam

This versio has an applet to lock all hardware buttons except the "turn off/on" button. This was already in namaich version. From the beginning, I have choosen the option to keep the ROM as clean as possible, with the minimun of customization. I'm just working on the windows part. You, guys, can add after the programs and personal settings you like. This is the reason I keep on publishing two ROMs, one with French settings (because I live in France and I use Orange, so it's my own version...) and a second one with no personalisation, just what is really needed to make WM5 to work properly on a BA device. In other words, it's like if you ask HTC to add this or that program or setting because you like it ;-)

@all

I read other forums about WM5 for different devices which are not HTC. Apparently, in most of forums BT and headset is a hot topic. I believe this problem is common to all manufactures, so don't get impatient if we cannot sort it out in the the next weeks...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
Thats the maion reason why some other roms dont do it by SD card, as if you use the /real/ extended_rom and just pop out your SD card it does them all automatically. That and added support for people without them :P

I have done a little troubleshooting on this one.

It comes down to what I hope is a relatively simple fix.... the phone portion of the O.S. does not see the hands free headset.

Also.... the phone will start with bluetooth enabled but does not see my HS805 until the headset is turned on and off. I don't mind this as much... but would really like the handsfree portion to work.

Oops, yes! I forgot to remove the link. ZaJules, you're right! But you need to install the cab if you want to see the name of the person who is calling you. Instead, you can go to the "File Explorer", then you go to "Windows\Start Menu\Programs" and you delete "Photo Contacts" link. Sorry
