Maybe this is the reason... (only a guess, I've not done any checking!)

WM5 insists on ActiveSync 4, which syncs over TCPIP and as it uses a different adapter (USB as opposed to WiFi NIC) will kick you from your wireless network whenever you sync... I don't think the BA is capable of having more than one address/adapter active at a time...

If this is the case then I don't think there will be a fix for this.

Does anyone have an idea what could cause the error I described on prev. page (Error#1)? I thought it was caused by Camera_Detect but even after removing it from startup I saw that error once (but removing camera detect was absolutly good idea!).

So, has anybody seen such error or it is only mine? :roll:

Interesting Side Effect...

I had installed this rom, and found a very interesting side effect...

Apparently, when I logged into MSN Messenger, and I asked the password to be saved, it created a folder in my messaging folders for "Hotmail". So I get updated on hotmail emails as well.

Thought I'd share this nifty little experience.

Running Repart_DOC.exe for 32MB?

I've downgraded my BA from Tuma 1.3 to a PDA2K WM2003 rom so I can repartition my extended rom. I want to install the 32MB ramdisk version of Helmi's rom and am ready to run Repart_DOC.exe.

The downgrade instructions shows me how to set up a 16MB extended rom using 16384 as the size for Repart_Doc. For the Helmi rom, what does this need to be set to? 32768?

Thanks!

downgrading to 2003se then back to wm5 Helmi's version, i followed midget's post...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] yughsoj:
I followed that link and when it gets to the step to use Repart_DOC.exe, It says:

I guess I'm missing something, but I though this new Helmi rom has registry settings to make use of 32 MB of Ramdisk / extended rom. Are they not the same thing? If they're not, I think I understand:

1. Downgrade to WM2003se

2. Run Repart_DOC and set it to 4000 for a 4MB extended rom.

3. Flash Helmi's AUK2.3 32MB rom wich partitions the rest of the space with 32 MB Ramdisk the rest to program storage.

4. Hook up the new WM5 rommed device via activesyc

5. Copy the Extended_rom directory contents from Helmi's download to the devices extended rom.

6. Reset the device and enjoy.

Does this sound right?

Thanks!

Re: Running Repart_DOC.exe for 32MB?

Extended_ROM size for me is enough 1024kb since MMS and SmartDial already built in ROM, so I only use it for Operator and small addition app... but 2-8mb is okay if u planning to install automatically big app such as Java (Middlet Manager) on hard reset...

my next release will be an AKU.3.0 OS. hopefully not so long...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
yes thats correct... but dont forget to edit Config.txt and Autoconfig.txt to suite ur need.

Config.txt = App that will automatically install at every hard reset.

Autoconfig.txt= Operator CAB files (MMS/GPRS)

Add

CAB: [The cab files u put in Extended_ROM]

note: make sure to add it before the CPY1: and EXEC: tag.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
darn and I made mine 16MB - I guess I'll have to downgrade again to make it smaller [around 4MB].

BTW, Define a hard reset and how does one do this. I assume it not just pushing in the reset button on the bottom of the phone.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
its seems that a 3rd party software or anything, cos no report on that error... yet...

try this task manager, and look what is currently active app and try to terminate them and see if the error still exist... be carefull dont terminate the wrong one, or u'll makes ur device hang, just softreset if that happen...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
More extended_ROM size, the less storage space in WM5, the less extended_ROM size the more storage space. I think 8mb is more then enough..

Hard Reset:

Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button

Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen

* Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right

* OR, press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time

You'll see three options on screen. You MUST change the second and the third to "yes"

* You can do that with the "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.

When you are done, press the "Mail" button

A white screen will show for a while - just wait.

It is presently clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing

When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting

The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...

Sorry Helmi got a bit behind on my testing of these ROMS. Forgot to test yours.

I have found that (for me at least) the service light still flashes even when you put the phone in flight mode. Noticed it was marked as fixed on your changelog

Don't know if anyone else has the same problem.

Thanks for your effort, this problem is a small one but drives me insane.

hmm... thats strange, cos in my device the light is turn of, not blinkin when we shutdown the phone with CommManager...

btw what radio version ur device has? mine was 1.15.00
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
helmi,

I was wondering if you could try out a program or two:

Pocket Weather >>> http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketweather/

Omega One's Journal Bar >>> http://www.omegaone.com/journalbar/

Both these programs seem to lock up my BA with this beta ROM. I have always used Journal Bar but I think I rather use Pocket Weather [means I have to by it - figures].

First I thought it was Journal Bar causing the lock up issues but once I installed Pocket Weather, it was also causing the BA to lockup. Perhaps its just my BA .... but perhaps you can figure it out. Oh, JB is the one that causes me to lose Screen Rotation and Wifi Task Icons.

I really miss my weather forcast on my destop.

:(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] remixme:
Same Radio version 1.15.00, I also used CommManager to shut down the phone. Mmm, maybe I have Gremlins.

I have gone back to 2003SE now as need to use this phone as my main one for a while.

Only thing I can think off is that maybe the order in which I turned things off, ie Radio then Wifi vs Wifi then Radio, but I tried a few combinations.

Could be down to the fact that my device has had half a dozen different WM5 roms on it with no reflash of radio.

I will do a more extensive test with your next release Helmi, no point spending time on this unless someone else reports it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] gtp:
Thanks for your reply! Well, first time I saw that error there wes no any software installed, except EzDial, I've just installed your ROM. So if nobody else here saw this error it should be caused by EzDial somehow. I'll try to ask in EzDial topic.

Thanks for your help! BTW, the more I use your ROM the more I love it, it's really fast even with my favorite software installed.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
I had a few problems With my Helmi 1.0 beta, but it seems the Extended ROM files from my operator do not play well with it. At least in part it is understandable, since some packages were for 2003SE.

After a few hard resets, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to use the customization package with my operator's GPRS settings, because they were somehow being wiped from the system.

After resorting to manually adding GPRS setting, I think now I will simply give up using all my operator's EXTROM packages. Not that i feel greatly sorry about it...

Anyway, one thing which annoyed me is that the Comm Manager can shut down GPRS, but can't turn it on (at least in my case). This behaivour is with a manually configured GPRS, with no apps at all. a bare WM5. Back in 2003SE days, I had to (soft reset and) manually turn on GPRS, or else the connection wouldn't work. So:

1)Is it just a vice from 2003SE which I am bringing forward needlessly? which means:

1.1) Will GPRS autoconnect properly, and work under WM5 hassle-free (if configured correctly)?

2) Is there a bug in Comm Manager, or in the way it's being used on this ROM, or is it the intended behaviour (GPRS: can shut down,can't turn on)?

All in all, I am happy with it. Kudos!

I have a 1 gig SD with no problems at all. The only problem I have seen so far with this rom is the initial us of the wifi through the comm app. If I turn the wifi on and off using the settings then it works fine after that. I usa a BA 20b1.

Re: problems

bah, I just now was able to get BT on after about three software restart - but I can not get Wifi enabled. As per the notes on these, I always first turn on Wifi on with the Wifi Task Shortcut.

So, I restarted my BA and Wifi was enabled on boot up but not BT is off [BT Icon does not show that its off - no red line]. I went to Comm Manager to attempt to re-start BT and the Windows Circle came on for about 15~20 seconds. After this still no BT. I have repeated this a few times trying to get both on at the same time - Wifi comes on but no BT on boot up.

So for me its near impossiable for me to get both enabled at the same time. I know I have done it a few times but I have had zero luck today. :(

Re: problems

I assume you have hard reset it a few times?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
Not hard reset but softreset [where you do not hit Record/Media buttons on color bars]. Either by doing the "stick" or by hitting my software button for restart.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] 2POINT8:
Ok so you are doing "power button + reset switch" then immediately "Record+Media " and then changing second 2 choices to "yes" then pressing "mail" button?

This is hard reset. You will lose all info.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
No way - only have done that after installing ROMs

Odd things is that Comm Manager "thinks" BT is enabled - the BT Icon in there is "yellow" and not X in it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] 2POINT8:
Ok. That was the only way to fix my problem. You may want to try this, unless you have tons of 3rd party installed. I run it stock so it is easy for me to hard reset and begin again.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] 2POINT8:
Yeah i had same problem yesterday. But i fixed w/ just a soft reset.

Help, upgrade, downgrade ????

Hi everyone. Sorry to be a bore to you all but i am sort of stuck on what i should be doing with my device. I missed loads of blueangel stuff as i have had an exec for ages but as a phone i prefer my blueangel.

I have sort of been dabbling in the wm5 on it for a while but never really understood extended rom sizes and stuff like that.

I set my phone up for the wm5 right at the start, way back, i think from buzdev. Since then i have just been trying different roms.

I think i messed up when i put ivans rom on because i didnt set the operator. Then the phone bit wouldnt work so i did the set operator and re-flashed. Since then the phone seems to work to start off with but cuts off after maybe a min of being on a call. I hoped this would go away with a dif rom but when i flashed this rom then the prob was still there even though i did the set operator jobby.

As far as i can tell looks like i have a 32mb ram disk, or so my vista machine tells me when it is connected, should i change this. I really dont know what i should be doing.

Now directpush seems to be working i would really like to use my blueangel instead of my exec but i cant yet.

Thanks guys.

Rob.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] motisu:
I am also having this problem. once I turn it off, I can usually only turn it back on after doing a soft reset.

Moti
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
Okay, I think I have figured out my issue and I believe its tied to what is enabled on my Today Screen.

It seems when I have two items enabled [Omega One Power Bar and SBSH Pocket Weather] the Blue Tooth stack can not load on boot up. However, Wifi seems okay but I think this is due to Wifi loads way before the today screen comes up. If I recall correctly BT used to do this too [Blue Light would come one during the Boot Loading Image like Wifi is doing now].

So, what I must to *before* restarting my BA is to disable Omega One Power Bar and SBSH Pocket Weather from my today screen. Then restart my device. Once its up and running I enable my two Today Screen items. Then if I need two disable Wifi or BT [or both] and then I can re-enable them from Comm Manager.

Now it does seem that if I start my BA with BT off, it will not turn on - so I have to have it "enabled" on startup - then toggle it on/off as needed. Once again, Wifi seems okay but I think that is due it starting so early in the boot process.

Sum up - if you are having BT/Wifi issues turning on [both at the same time] disable Today Sceen addons and then soft restart your BA.

Now I wonder if there is a way to either delay the Today Screen from loading or having BT start sooner...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] motisu:
trying now. will see if it helps by me..... nope, didn't help. hade both wifi and BT on, in today only had date and lock active and soft resetted. BA camr up with both on but when I turned off BT, I couldn't start it again.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
Are you using Comm Manager or BT Icon to turn it off? I been using Comm Manager to turn it off and then back on again.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] motisu:
Been playing with it some more and you are right! But in order for it to work, EVERYTHING in Today must be off! If you reset with everything off and then turn on the various plugins, you can turn on/off both BT and wifi with either comm manager or the icons. Really weird!!

Moti
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
Yes, I believe you are more right - the more you have off the better chance you have of them comming on and off correctly.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdaradar:
maybe a stupid suggestion, but you could also do what i did. don't use both addons at all, are they usefull or just nice to have. :?:

i can turn on/off wifi and bt both or just either of them in any combination and i don't need to reset my helmi-c rom. it just works.

hey

been using this rom for about 4 days now... noticed that the rom was pretty fast in the begining and then slowed down a bit. I deleted the camera detect file which helps in speeding up boot up only...

so i was wondering if someone knew other tweaks.. or may be a link to overclock the CPU of BA...

also if someone knew how to get tray icons... like Shut off Wireless bluetooth.. replacing them with COmm manger.... pls help..

Great Job helmi C.. best rom till date.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] willpower102:
what where the steps you took to delete the camera detect files? i can't delte them because they are read only, and i can't change their properties using resco. I'm about to try total commander.

I noticed the slowdown too. the biggest test i have for it is dialing with several programs open. I can always tell because the dialing starts to severely lag.

Although, i seem to have temporarily defeated this problem:

I had the device running for 3 days without any lag. What i did is completely turn of the standby mode, and never pressed the power button to go into standby and i didn't activesync even one from a fresh install.

This worked great, so i added in standby. The rom still ran crisp and clean even WITH wif turned on!

After i activesynced the first time it got slower. Then after several more cradle docs (even with nothing new to sync) it just got really slow again.

i have no idea now. I'm tyring to make the activcyn log file read-only and seeing if that helps.

no.. It just some registry value to speed/optimize things up...since i dont apply this tweak in my beta, cos i dont think about it so much... but maybe its necessary...

currently I dont use any overclocking app... and still dont think need one...

but as midget recommendation, maybe next time i'll use XpuScalar for my device to automaticaly speed adjustment. so it will make the batere life longer (200mhz while stanby or less activity).
