Today Theme? And some app can't install

Cool, this new ROM is considered to be a new revolution!!! However, has any one solved the issue of being impossible to change the today's theme?

@ MicMeo: After flashing this new ROM, I can't install Vietnamese Keyboard, that makes me go insane as I really need it for my office work?

Hi helmi:

First of all i appreciate the enormous work and effort you put on this ROM.

sadly am a wm2003se and donnu how to upgrade, i have read the wiki and do not understand most of it.

can you please simplify the steps in an easy way so i can understand, i know this is too much, but i really can use the help.

P.S do i need to upgrade my ACtive sync, and if yes to which version?

do i need to uninstall the old version first or just install it?

thx a lot :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] greatbal:
after reading through all the posts on this thread, all i can say is "Great job helmi!" :D

notwithstanding the small issues on Today Theme and A2DP, you have done a really great job. :)

BTW, one question, My BA is at the moment running Tuma 1.3, is there any particular step I have to take before flashing to this rom?

I'm really intrigued and happy with what i have read, and would like to try out this rom. But, I wouldn't want to make any mistake and have for myself a very expensive paper weight after flashing. :D

Thanks in advance.

great ROM, just issues with gps and mms

A perfect package, simple one-click install with no errors, warnings, etc.

issue 1 GPS:

I configured the GPS ports in connections, but non of my programs using GPS can connect to the virtual port (TT, IGO, OZI). They all work on the h/w BT port, but that's not what i want.

Any suggestions?

issue 2 MMS:

Can't configure MSS settings, when gonig to MMS configuration there are about 10 "default" configs, all with the same name. I can add ny own but then i can't set mine to "default", the options is grayed out.

What can i do?

Slowish ?

Hi I've just upgraded successfully thanks to Helmi's quick guide+wiki and was impressed by WM5. However, it is far slower than what I am used to on my device with 2003SE. So am I doing something wrong or is this a general issue with the BA and WM5?

I have downgraded back to 2003SE just for speed at the moment but if the WM5 rom can be as fast, I'll definetly switch back.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] aleksukomeng:
Re: Slowish ?

yes, WM5 a bit slower than 2003SE.

but I think you should give more time to get use to wm5.

for me, there's no way downgrading to 2003SE.

Upgraded from TuMa 1.3 and overall it is really a very good rom so far. The updated icons look good. PIE and Messaging are a tad faster, able to sync with no problems with AS4.2. Have installed a few apps with no problems. New splash screen is very cool.

Here are the 2 main issues not already mentioned I have noticed:

PIE does not render all images on a webpage - eg on XDA the reply, quote buttons are not visible

Direct push seems a bit slow, mail receipt is delayed a bit (but this may just be due to my work server config)

Everything else seems to be working ok. Havent tested A2DP as my headset's battery is dead and no charger at work. Received one error message after flashing about pimg.exe but not seen it since. No hangs or freezes.

Thanks to helmi_c and everyone else who has worked on making this rom. Excellent work, really appreciated.

Re: Slowish ?

Funny i had just got settled into 2 days of WM3 use when you put this rom out. So of course i HAD to try it. I'm back to WM3 again after a day of use. Here's some thoughts:

The differences about the OS are magnificent. Little things like the options when the device is booting.

The OS is the most stable wm5 i've used to far.

I used to have severe slowdowns if i Asynced with wifi on at the same time.

It looks like that problem is gone as well.

But on the other hand, this rom isn't quite as fast as the fresh install of helmi aku2.3

(i don't know what makes 2.3 it so fast, but it slows down the first time you async or turn on wifi)

Of course, i'll take stability over a little speed.

Now, if i wasn't so used to the speed in WM3 i would definatley keep this rom. But since i've been back i've had much faster video playback, phone dialing, instant messaging, typing, menu speeds, network browsing, internet browsing, and i can even play snes roms at 60 fps. (something never possibly for me on WM5)

Great work on this rom! i look forward to a couple weeks of tweaks before i give it another shot :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fc959:
Re: Slowish ?

Perfectly sums up my thoughts about WM5... although I haven't tried AKU2.3. A real shame as the OS seems definitely better in all other aspects - hopefully the speed issue will get tweaked to a good level (comparable to WM3).

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
If Tuma 1.3 use SD ExtROM (\Storage Card\ExtROM) and not 'real' Extended_ROM then no further preparation is needed. just copy the file from my ExtROM packet and modify the Cfg.txt to support the files in Tuma 1.3 ExtROM and flash ur BA.

btw I'm not guarante that Tuma's AddOn will work in this rom, since the difference system version, and before u flash be sure to Sync ur Contact, e-mail, etc cos old OS wont be Compatible with this rom even some AKU.2.3 files is not compatible with this version.

Re: great ROM, just issues with gps and mms

I've include AutoConfig app for change/add Operator Gprs/MMS setting. And this app is HardCode installation to RAMDisk since this app is need an old .DLL.

Currently Supported Operator By AutoConfig is below, for others please edit the Autoconfig.txt and add ur own operator in the OPERATOR sub dir or just pick the Default to get a base template.

This Operator CAB is taken from WM2003ASIA, plus O2UK.

Currently Supported Operator By AutoConfig:

1O1O

3-DUALBAND-

AIS

Celcom

ChungHwa Telecom

CTM

DiGi

DTAC

Globe

IM3

M1

Maxis

New World Mobility

Optus

Orange Thailand

Peoples

ProXL

Satelindo

SingTel

Smart

SmarTone

StarHub

StarHub Prepaid

Sun Cellular

Sunday

Telkomsel

Telstra

Vodafone Australia

O2 UK

this pack is supposed to be in extrom before this ROM is installed so it will be automatic launch, since we already install the rom so we must do it manualy:

1. Copy Autoconfig.txt to \windows\ and also OPERATOR to \Storage Card\ExtROM\OPERATOR (or just extract this .RAR to \Storage Card\ExtROM)

2. Install AutoConfig.CAB

3. Start >> Program >> AutoConfig for setting ur operator (GPRS/MMS).

the next time u hard reset it will automaticly launch, u only need to do this once.

Maybe delete some unused operator file from \Storage Card\ExtROM\OPERATOR\ is a good idea since all of this operator .CAB is 3mb++

helmi, I opt to remove the comm manager app because since it can't function to enable wireless its almost useless.. save some room and use the built in wrlsmgr manager as its faster anyway. Also the camera app can be UPXd.. that will free up another 200-300k for these patches you are needing to put in the main rom.. I see the ext rom as being good for installing add-ons but not the neccessary functions wouldn't you agree?

My Take on this Sweet Rom!!!

Helmi,

I have been arguing with myself on whether I should upgrade to WM5 or not (I have been following all the threads since they found out that WM5 was on a BA prototype early last year). I finally worked enough guts to go ahead and try this rom. I will be quite honest, it is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

While it is true that it is a tad slower than WM2003SE, the stability is by far better (at least it has been since yesterday night when I flashed it). Overall speed is good as well; however, it does stutter a little.

I have been doing this since I thought it was time I made my contribution to the site as a beta tester for this. This is what I have seen so far:

*Today theme cannot be changed (known bug)

*Voice Command not working (known bug)

*Whenever any application is opened, the time of day in the top bar dissapears (minor bug, but I have not seen anyone talking about this one)

*Battery life seems to not be all that great. I have a 2400 mAh battery, which would normally be at 92 -95% after a day of normal usage. After today, I was left at 82% (normal day of usage as well). I have an MP3 set as a ringtone and I have a feeling that might have something to do with it. (no one had mentioned anything about battery life yet)

*Comm Mgr cannot start the WiFi connection. However, it can be started from the other connection manager. (known bug)

*pimg error on startup (known bug)

All in all, everything else is working smoothly. But if you could first focus your attention to Voice Command and battery life... well, I cannot speak for everyone, but I think that VC has to be THE most useful application I have (as far as cell phone usage) in that device. And battery, well, that is a no brainer in itself.

Keep up the good work!!!! Will keep on testing and let you know if I can find anything else.

Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!![/list]

Non-Registry Editing Solution for Today Screen

All,

I have found a way to change the image in the boot screen. It sucks though because it will only put the image as it appears in front of you (no resizing or anything like that). Just open the picture that you want with the Album app. and then go to Tools>Save As>Set Today Image.

Nevermind that, you can edit the picture in the Album Edit tools to about 130% and it will completely cover your Today screen (see picture below). Hopefully, this will help so that we can move on to better things. However, if anyone comes up with a registry tweak or something to seriously fix this small bug... well, that is good too :)

Hope this helps some of you out there!
