I'm currently testing a build using the Bepe 64/64, UPX LOC, the UNI and Wiz SAPs, BA Buttonfix, MMS, and WM5 Storage. added optimizations and temp file relocations to the 64m ramdisk rgu.

I like the comm manager better from those SAPs but still wondering how to enable the greyed features
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
How did you get the 64/64 version work?

@ spkr4thdd

comm manager application seems ok for WIFI,

but WIFI itself does not work
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
using the files from buzzdev.net: 64mb ROM, 2.3 UPX WWE LOC, 2.3 WWE OS and BA DEV 1.00, that should get your base working.. I've added the BA_Button fix OEM package that I modified and uploaded last night to the uploads/BA..

Having tested pretty much the majority of the 2.3 roms, yours are definitely my favourite so far.

The wifi on AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_3 does work in a roundabout way:

If I click the icon in the bottom right hand corner and hit enable, it pretty much hangs searching for networks. Whereas a few other WM5 roms I have tested, find the 3 wireless networks in range straightaway.

If I go through the Wireless manager, goto wireless setting and add the setting for my wireless network manually, then I get a connection with excellent signal, in fact the signal bar is 100% which I have never seen before with this setup.

The two bugs that drive me mad are still present:

Roaming LED on in flight mode.

Stuttering in Media Player on the first 10 seconds of MP3 Playback
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:

Media Player memory leak or buffer problem

For all roms made from bepe's BA rom, the Windows Media Player seems to take ALL the avaliable memory space on the device as buffer. Hence, at the beginning of mp3 or video play black, the player buffer the media to memory until no space left on device (lag while playing). After there is no space left on device to buffer, the media play smoothly. How can we turn off the buffering for media player?

Downloading and flashing ASAP :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
same, we might as well use yours, mine is about a day behind :P
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
could you .zip your dev folder and upload that too?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
Yes, I'm interested in that too.

OK, am flashing Helmi's latest ROM and will see how it is...

I have flashed TuMa 1.4 again tonight and the A2DP works on that out of the box, so I've dumped the reg settings and all the dll's related to it and will see what I can come up with (comparison tonight, then perhaps package tomorrow), I'm getting hopeful for this, each release seems to be getting closer to the 'right' one, I just don't have the knowledge just now to actually edit the base ROM...

EDIT: OK, Helmi new ROM, A2DP has same issue as last time... WiFi, once turned on is controllable by the Conn Manager (as stated above), so we're moving in the right direction, off to check the BT reg entries and DLL's now for A2DP...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
I dont do with dev folder Midget_1990 I do it by hand..just the begining (MMS, SmartDial)

but u can always extract, strip, and modify from it off course.

btw can i ask u a favor? if u think this release is not stable, please edit the quantum to default setting (4B) and repost it? cos my net always havin problem with big file, thats why i hv a delay with posting ROM...

Ok, am flashing Helmi's latest ROM and will see how it is...

that whould be helpfull if u compare them. if doesnt work , please take file sbc.dll, bta2dp.dll, and Avrcp_MPplugin.dll from tuma and If u dont mind please sent me those file and maybe the registry difference... try this location.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP <-- this i just learn and gues it cos I dont hv any reference with this.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
been using everything i can think of on helmi_c's rom, there are a few bugs but overall this is an AMAZING rom.

bugs i have found: wifi in comm manager only after wifi has been started before (about starting wifi during boot up, i know from earlier rom tht this makes the boot take about 5 mins, so dont bother)

pocket msn wont sign in (when wifi is working i can test my possible fix)

although the ram is 64mb, the ramdisk is only 32mb, should be 64mb.

duplicate programs (2 versions of sim contacts and STK)

missing WMP from Programs (i have a fix)

is the BT tray needed as it works via comm manager?

also i de-compiled the rom (old way) and i have noticed that many of the speed hacks i have been collecting are not included, if you want me to send you them ask (thanks to KTamas for helping me collect them)

and finally, have you though about moving temporary files (in mxip_notify.vol) to ramdisk for a faster device?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
the dev folder method is more organised and much easier, IF it works properly. the main problems i've been having are not the actual fixes to problems, but the tempremental behaviour of the 'new' method.

could you then post the registry entries/files/entry in initflashfiles.dat for the working camera/album (preferably seperatly), Cert Patch, VerifyFile Patch, VerifyCab Patch, Extended_ROM Support, fixed brightness slider, fixed 'about', any performance tweaks, No Skiping In Windows Media and you button 5 (IE) config?

if you could i will turn them into/upgrade current oem packages for myself and others to use,

Thanks! :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
<<wifi in comm manager only after wifi has been started before

thats a known issues. Cos CommManager Use WirelessService with is read WMS, and WirelessMgr read AP1 cant resolve that.

<<although the ram is 64mb, the ramdisk is only 32mb, should be 64mb.

Damn.. I do it in a hurry, cos originaly its 32mb version, i just edit the default.hv and i forgot to change the registry in the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RAMDisk]

"Size"=dword:2000000

maybe fix can be added 2 extended_rom or maybe u can edit that?

btw if u see from the memory applet in control panel u'll see the system memory remain?

<<duplicate programs (2 versions of sim contacts and STK) isnt that a different app? or maybe I dont understand ur question...

<<missing WMP from Programs (i have a fix)

Windows media is on \StartMenu not in \StartMenu\Programs Midget_1990 :)

<<is the BT tray needed as it works via comm manager?

BT doesnt hv a problem anyway u like.

pocket msn wont sign in << common problem, I'll wait u to fix it..:)

<<and finally, have you though about moving temporary files (in mxip_notify.vol) to ramdisk for a faster device?

hmm... maybe...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
i can make a cab if you send me the correct entry (or is that it?)

sim manager and sim contacts do exactly the same thing, just look different and I have 'orange plus' and 'sim toolkit' both of which do the same thing.

usually it's in both and people reported that as an error for my rom so i think it should be done.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] willpower102:
I don't know if anyone has actively monitored the ramdisk but it seems that 32 would be enough if not still a little over what's required. Is a 64mb ramdisk overkill?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Yaantra:
I second that!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
No, it is not, if you want a little more storage space.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] willpower102:
That doesn't make any sense. Does it?

Less ramdisk = more storage space,

less storage = more ramdisk.

So why would having a 64mb ramdisk give you more storage space?

Are you installing things to the ramdisk?

I thought you didn't want to do this because everytime you change your battery, bam, all your stuff gone.

Maybe i'm confused :?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sayadil:
I believe 32mb should be enough as well. for more storage i would suggest SDcard.

I haven't tried this rom as yet.... but i tried the other new release AKU 2.3 but preferred IVAN with Ramdisk for its speed and stability..

ANY Early Comparisons with this one... anyone who's tried IVAN's RAMdisk and this one....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
I would be willing to install programs to the ramdisk if I knew it was still backed up by the backup battery long enough to switch batteries.. I've had a couple wm5 roms seem to keep it for a short while and others its wiped as soon as you flip the battery latch.. this is the only reason I can see a 64mb ramdisk usefull as 64mb of IE cache would be way overkill.. can anything else be cached?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
I'm so out of the loop ...

OMG!

KTamas alerted me to this thread ... you all have been very busy!

This is so cool. Bepe is the MAN! I still had been unable to replace the coredll file in the XIP section of the BA, and he's been able to do this! Again, lots of thanks apparently go to mamaich for his help in doing this (and in my opinion is the father of all these BA ROMs!) ... AKU2.3 here we go!!!

I'll be downloading things myself tonight and piggy-backing Bepe's and Helmi's work and merging it with the current state of the TuMa v1.5 development. The work I've done on the drivers/registry implements a number of fixes which I see are still being experienced in the current ROMs. Hopefully I'll be able to implement the speed/performance tweaks too - but that's dependant on how different the AKU2.3 ROM is from the AKU1.x/0.x versions.

Hopefully I'll find some time this weekend in order to help out - at least some time during the waiting for "peanut" to arrive.

Good luck everyone! I'll be watching for fixes/updates and will release anything I find as well.

hey helmi_c,

great rom man u must have spent lots of times on it :) , i found that even after i exit let say Album, it's still actively running under Running Program. I am not sure whether this is a bug or something else but plz check.

also i have 2 suggestions, 1. is it possible for you to put the clock back to the top bar rather on the same bar with date. 2. the battery meter icon, is it possible to move to the bottom taskbar just like wireless/bluetooth icons, Ivan has a good battery meter icon though.

thanks man,

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
thats happens allways in all rom (inc 2003se) unless you have a 3rd party util (like spb pocket plus) that makes it actually end the processes.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1

do the above to get rid of the new one and then copy 'powertray.exe' to '\windows' and 'powertray.ink' to '\windows\startup'

then soft reset

Rom: Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_64mb

Phone: ph20b1 sx66

radio: 1.12

I've extensively tested many of the wm5 and wm3 roms on the site. The one i'm recently coming from (becuase of the speed) is Ivan 1.11 w/ ramdisk.

Some quick observations.

[good]

-wifi networks show encrytion type

-network browsing works

-Wifi connect very fast to whatever network i choose

-wifi seemlessly switches between secure and non secured AP's in the same area (when i ask it to) ...had severe problems with this in several other roms.

[bad]

-phone lags with screen or keypad dialing.

(turning off phone tones seems to help a little)

(turning off smart dialing helps a LOT)

-don't see a reason for com manager on the today screen and the wifi / bt on the taskbar (i know i can turn it off, but what's it good for anyway?)

-Phone seems to bog down with wifi turned on

-overall operating feels quite a bit faster than logout 5.4.05, but still slower and less responsive than ivan 1.11. Opening menus and programs still feels more sluggish than ivans. (this is even with all sounds on the device disabled)

more to come, 5am@gmt-5 = too damn late! :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
If I could work out how to make a tray icon my solution to that would be to have comm manager as one (a la universal etc) however we'd still need the WiFi trayicon until the 'must start wifi first to enable in comm manager' issue gets fixed!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
-don't see a reason for com manager on the today screen and the wifi / bt on the taskbar (i know i can turn it off, but what's it good for anyway?)

like spkr4thdd said, and its a standar pack, I personaly dont use wireless plug-in on the today, its slows thing down. for me better use tray, its straight to the point. or use directly with startmenu icon. btw there is a tray icon to launch CommManager but wifi doesnt work (wont turn on)

Just remove CM from today screen, wireless manager on today frequenly refresh itself and it will reduce performance (very depend on coverage quality as u can see)

btw maybe u can try the latest version, and maybe u can give a comment:

can u please explain the meaning of "unstable" cos I've played with my toys for about 3 hours now, plus incoming call, sms and browsin the net. can u please tell me maybe i can 'fix' it?

btw my 'fix' that u said is suppost to be support A2DP with good quality sound. and this is the rest off quality hack for A2DP:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]

@="Bluetooth Advanced Audio Output"

"PriorityRenderOutput256"=dword:0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Devices]

"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:64

"BitPool"=dword:33 ;default 38/26

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Buildin\BtA2dpSnd]

"Priority256"=Dword:3C

;hex

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]

"Capability"=dword:45

with that setting it A2DP should produce a clear and clean sound... but sadly, A2DP didnt work... yet... but we workin on it right?

Not usually and not standar, its personal taste...btw If u hv the shortcut in that two place, then they cant never be remove from each current place, and if u love WM so much isn't enough to start it from the start menu instead from StartMenu\Program and scroll down for hundred of icon? and that doesnt makes \Program folder looks like thousand of repeatin shortcut. un efficient if u ask me...still dont see it as a bug for me.. :wink:

Ok, i can't get to sleep. So what better to do.

[still on rom Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_64mb]

I had the pda connected to the pc with wifi enabled and activesync on, of course. When i dissconnected it i got all sorts of problems.

-For one, something i forgot to mention earlier, activesync running after a disconnect severely slows down my system.

-After i disconnected, activeync was still showing in the top menu with the spinning arrows.

-Clicking on it showed activesync as still connected. Did not go away.

-wifi said connected, vxIPConfix showed a good IP

-ie would get and error locating page: ok

-closed active via shutdown menu under running progs.

-activesync activity icon still showing in menu.

-Cycled wifi, off and on:

-activesync activity went away and was replaced by wifi activity.

-wifi works fine now.

wierd. :? i don't think the reset on resume hack would fix this.

I tried to replicate this bug. When i pulled the device off activesync the second time it still ran ridiculously slow for about 30 seconds, had lots of flashes of all the icons on the screen, but it stayed connected to the wifi just fine.

Once when this problem was happening the device tried to standby while i was waiting for a page to load.

-I tapped the screen thinking it was going dark: no response

-hit a button to make it resume: no response

-tapped a few more things and then finally it resumed very slowly and just about froze opening things with my clicks from 30 seconds ago.

After i got everything running fine again i decided to test the wifi reset on resume hack.

The hack works fine, but after resuming there is a good 10-15 seconds where you can't do anything and the machine crawls. Didn't have this problem on ivan 1.11. What's making this happen?

I noticed that the wifi manager has been replaced in the connections tab by the comm manager. Then when you open up the comm mangaer you are required to go through a wifi settings pop-up menu to get to the wireless lan manger.

[edit] you answered this while i was typing :oops: So is there anyway to get the wireless lan manager back into the connections tab (instead of comm manager) without recompiling?

A premlinary step in troubleshooting network issues is checking for a good ip. So i find myself going back and fourth between the wireless lan manager and an external ipconfig program. Is there anyway to go back to a wm3 style version as the default wifi manager? This is so that you will get the ip displayed on the connection info screen. Would going back to this style manager affect the connectivity at all?

[saw the rom pop up a little while ago. i'm going to install it and play with it while i read up on sleep disorders :cry: ]

As far as available RAM for running programs 64MB looks like it would be enough. With about 6 programs open (including Destinator for GPS, PIE and Messaging) RAM used was 32.8MB. Most likely people would not have that many apps open at the same time so theoretically 64MB of memory should be enough. If the Ramdisk is able to survive a soft reset that would be better still.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
helmi_c, can you zip and uplaod your DEV folders for that latest build?

1. can we just remove the today screen comm manager if its nothing but trouble?

2. can the smart dialing be removed?

3. anyone tried marking the AS log readonly so the system cannot make all the writes to the ROM memory

ummm...efjay is right. 64 MB *is* enough, since you have 45 MB available after a soft reset and that is more than enough indeed. And RAMdisk is really useful for me when I'm downloading pictures from another SD card for example.

Wow, this is an excellent release. Two problems which I have noticed - mainly Activesync doesn't realise it has stopped syncronising. Also, a weird one... I set up a password to come into effect when it is inactive for 1 min or more, and then I began to send a text. Half way through typing the text it went onto the password screen as if to say I hadn't been using the phone in a minute, which I had.

Love the speed of it though!!! Really is fastest rom I have had - faster than PPC2003 I think. Media Player fix is the icing on the cake - been longing for that for a while. Really really is fast! Haven't tried bluetooth or WIFI as yet - need to find my bloody WEP code... I know I wrote it down somewhere...........
