1.2 seems stable on my sx-66 for the most part. The biggest issue I have is battery life. This is by far and away the absolute worst rom on battery that I have tried. I charge full before I go home from work and by the next morning I have low battery warnings already. I dont even talk on the phone that much with this PDA. Constantly having to recharge or change out battery...

anyone have any ideas or suggestions for this issue? I am going to have to switch back to Ivan's latest rom or even TuMa 1.4 (neither of which I like as much as this one) if I cant figure out something that is causing the battery to drain so fast. Thanks!

I'll post in the first page if there's no stability issues, cos i've a little bit doubt on that tweak. is it safe? cos I cant test much, in AKU3.2 its ok.

Cleartype on landscape?

I try to set cleartype to on on landscape mode, but the registry setting always changes back to '1'.

I don't know what is causing it.

I am using the SpeedTweak now, but so far it looks like the machine is still resource-starved occasionally by system proceses (which means video skipping). But my video benchmarks look a bit better. I'll try with some games which performance was suffering badly too and see if the speedtweak made them better.

Helmi: maybe underclocking it to 200 or 100MHz (XCPUScalar) and trying to make it more responsive at that level can help optimizing it? Maybe you can apare a few minutes of low speed pain with AKU 3.2 and try to make it faster... :)

Re: Activesync USB vs IR

hmm.. thats strange... ActiveSync shouldn't be an issues. but try this cab after u install this, there'll be a shortcut in Program >> accesories >> ActiveSync switch (Serial or RNDIS)

Re: Activesync USB vs IR

I am running small firewall (Ghostwall) on my PC. I had the same usb issue when I moved to activesync 4.2. the device would not connect via usb cable. but when I change the firewall to "allow all" mode...activesync 4.2 works fine via usb cable. If you have some firewall other than built in windows firewall you might look into that being the problem. seems rather odd to me for firewall to block communication with usb port, but i have tested it over and over...every time firewall is on with default settings activesync 4.2 wont connect with device. If I allow all traffic it works fine. I just need to find what specfic traffic it is so I can make a rule for it, rather than allowing all =/.

I just can say 1 thing...the more complexity of the rom, the worse it will eat ur battery life...

cos this rom is an advance one, btw I hv a though to reduce some unused part for some. like if u dont need IR or BTa2dp, or let say, just want to use it as a daily phone, not a multi connection toy?

by strip part any of that service with cab. what do you guys think? or may be some1 could make a program for that, its only a matter of changing the registry value to disable some drivers.

btw if u mark the recieve beam on the IR applet, it will reduce ur battery life, but if u unmark it? u'll unable send/recieve file with bt and BT audio gateway will be worse...confuse? so do I...lol...

but so far, I think its acceptable and fair enough with the service my toys serve, or just like i said earlier, try usin xpuscalar with auto arrange speed (200mhz on stanby is enough).

Re: Activesync USB vs IR

Actually, I know the answer to that one. Even though you are connected through the USB cable, ActiveSync 4.2 treats your device as a network adapter, and not a USB connection. I read this somewhere, but forgot where. It was one of those obsecure MS sites...

Do you see that when you connect your device, the little "New Device Found" activity in the corner of your PC's tray? Well, does it change to "Windows Mobile Device" is ready to be used?

That means, you are almost there, you just need to make one little simple change before you can use the device. For some odd reason, most of the time, the network adapter is configured correctly, but sometimes, it isn't. Here is how you make it work.

Open the properties for the "My Network Places" or whatever it has been renamed to. You will see one of the adapter showing up with the name "Windows Mobile-based Device #12" or a different number.

Right click to get to the properties.

Check the box for "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and few other boxes will be checked as well.

Click Ok, and the device should connect as a network device on your computer.

And the communication is done through 10 Mb network connection, rather than as a USB connection.

Hope this was your problem....

Re: Activesync USB vs IR

This is actually a Good Thing. Ultimately, the phone is using TCP/IP to sync; one of the clever things about TCP/IP is how the stack works. You can do it over anything; someone has written a spec for IP over carrier pigeon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers. The phone does it over BT/IR and USB using the exact same sync routines.

Can you add activesync to your firewalls OK list (white list)? Many personal firewalls work on a per-process level and what's happening is that activesync isn't allowed to listen on the ports that are connected to external devices. Failing that, you could add the port it wants to use.

However, take care. When opening up the port, try to restrict it to whatever adapters (network cards) you can. You don't want people connecting into your activesync without permission! It all depends on which firewall you use.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here.

Im quite amazing about the speed of this rom... This is really GREAT WORK!! Thxx

but anyway, today i went to Siam Paragon today. I just wanna buy a BT headset to replace to crap jabra 258....

i dont know y jabra 258 doesnt work well with BA..., which has many noise everytime that i make a call.. ( if anyone has a solution, plz suggest me some :lol: )

Anyway, so i decide to have a new BT headset. i saw SE HBH-DS970, which u can see here http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp...der&php=php1_10394&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10394

Its bluetooth headset that comes with A2DP and if im not wrong, AKU3.0 is support, right?

Actually, i tried it yesterday with wm2003se, but it didnt work. i can search though it, but i cant pair it. So i go again today, i can pair it, listen to/ control the music ( i use pocket Music ). but i cant use it to make a phone call.

Any suggestion?

Again, thz for this incredible rom. speed is unbelievable!!!

ActiveSync Connectoin Error

When ActiveSync was working (with Exchange-Server) over GPRS or Wireless, AS is not working cradled by USB. Errorcode 85002003. I tried several tests (also on my PC: deact. Firewall and so on). BA tells "cannot connect with current connection settings". It's working fine after a Softreset, until AS has used GPRS or WiFi.

AS over WiFi or GPRS is always well. The problem is defently on BA's side.

Anyone else with these experience, that it's working after a softreset?

Virtual GPS port steady as a rock in this version

Many thanks to Helmi-c to put in the tuma gpsid.dll and to spkr4thdd for his feedback. It's working excellent now. Started from scratch, so removed com-config in gps-applet, removed bt-paring and com-port in bt-applet.

This is what i did in the bt-applet:

- paired the bt-gps

- defined one outgoing port: com6

- gave it the speed 57600

This is what i did in the gps-applet:

- programport: com7

- hardwareport: com6

- recommended automation on

Then using it:

- define com7 in oziexplorer and startup: ozi will find&connect to br-gps

- startup &define "other gps device" with com7 in tomtom

- startup &define com7 in IGo

- startup &define com7 in Jeff Prestons mytrack

Driving my car for twice an hour and it work great, not one issue while all these programs were simultanious working an telling me where to go at the same time. Inbetween i got some mail notification, so GPRS and mail where active as well.

B.t.w. i uses pocket hack master to speedup things a bit and tomtom started in 13 seconds in stead of 35 seconds without pocket hack master.

Wiki has been updated

I've just spent the last couple of hours updating the wiki for this ROM. I've pulled all of the installation instructions (flashing and extrom details) into one page and rewritten them somewhat to make them a lot easier to follow.

The page is: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi

Could people update the issues page as and when they come across them? Also, helmi, do you want to replace the installation instructions in the ROM with mine? I think this would make sense.

Re: Activesync USB vs IR

I understand your point, and how TCP/IP works. The firewall is blocking communication between the PC and the device itself. Not between the activesync network adapter and the network. Seems to me the firewall should be blocking communication between the rest of the network and the activesync network adapter rather than stopping activesync from communicating with the device connected to the USB port of this computer. /shrug just seems bass ackwards.

left-over buggies (just speaking for myself ;-))

For my way of using the BA there's not much to wish for. Just three things left over:

Can't get WiFi to resume

With no connection WiFi will turn of, while the option to turnof wlan if not connected is not set.

When pushing the powebutton to turn off the device i actually see a red line crossed through the WiFi icon just befor the light goed out

When the system suspends and later on a new mail message gets in, it will be picked-up via gprs.

most nav s/w can't set up the bt-gps connection via virtual port

Like i said, virtual-gps is working now, but i always need ozi-explorer to fire-up the bt-gps connection. Anybody else willing to try this, maybe you can PM me for the details.

Should upgrade?

Hi, currently i've Tuma 1.3 on my BA; now i'm leaving for vacation and would to know if i should upgrade to helmi_c AKU rom.

The main reason because i would to upgrade is speed (Tuma rom is very slow), but i don't know how much stable and compatibility issues of AKU rom (i've read many problems in previous posts).

It's important for me Bluetooth and TomTom navigator, that work well on Tuma rom.

Should i upgrade or i need to wait for the stable release of helmi_c rom?

i haven't tried Tomtom though. maybe you could wait for others to reply in this regard.

You'll have to mess with the camera and its settings manually to find a good way yourself. Simply there isnt a simple solution to this sadly.
