Helmi,

I found something else today with the 1.3 rom. I have a feeling that Excel Mobil might be malfunctioning. I used it twice at work today and both times after my BA went into hybernation, I couldn't bring it back to active status other than by doing SR.

I believe that Excel Mobil was causing some trouble in one of your older roms (I want to say 1.2, but I am not certain) like crashes and such. I just thought I would mention it.

Battery is much improved!!!!!!! I don't know what you did, but GOOD JOB MAN!!!!

Will keep on reporting...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
It has been reported that excel mobile froze when trying to save to internal storage. I tested it on Helmi 1.3 and it happens too. if you work with files on storage card only, you may have less problems until it is fixed...

helmi_c, just FYI having just gone from your AKU 3.0 rom to a TyTN I can say the A2DP problems are the same - pauses during a song especially if the phone is in a pocket, bag etc. Would be interesting to see if you can solve it on your rom, could help all of us with this problem.

Upgrading ?

Hi,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, however I'm having trouble with this step in the upgrade process.

Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???

(where ??? is your operator)

How exactly would I do that in Command Prompt. I've renamed the whole extracted folder as "ROM on my desktop and am left with this

C:\ROM>SetOperator O2ASI001

'SetOperator' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Its probably something simple. Please let me know. Thanks!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sarvesvara.dasa:
Type it as...

SetOperator.bat O2ASI001

About A2DP, #1 ugly hack which might be effective is increasing the thread priority. is it possible? anyone knows how to do it? it may bog down the entire machine though...

#2, if there is a registry setting to adjust the buffer size, the situation could improve.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] egzthunder1:
Re: Upgrading ?

If you put the folder in the Desktop, that means that the path that you are writing in the Command Promt is not the right one.

"C:\ROM" would refer to a folder called "ROM" in the "C:\" directory. The desktop folder path (at least in my case) looks something like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Desktop

By the way, you do not need to put the ".bat" extension to get SetOperator to run. You were doing it just fine, just have to put the correct path.

Give that a shot and see if it works. Hope this helps.

BJ,

Thanks for the tip. However, it did not crash while trying to save a file. It just froze my BA after minimizing it (still running in the background).

I will say one thing though, this is not as stable as 1.1b used to be. Just today, was using my BA and my screen stopped accepting input from my stylus. I could still use the hardware buttons but that was it. After I SR, everything came back to normal.

However, I know that we all kinda "rushed" Helmi into releasing this rom. Still, this is one hell of a rom!!! Just needs a little more stability (and Voice Command :wink: ) and it will be great!!!!

Looking forward for new patches, and as always... KEEP IT UP!!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] NYCgroove:
Thanks for the tips. I think I'm just missing it. The folder "ROM" is on my desktop

It contains: The PH20B, PH20B1, EXTROM, WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_v1.3 folders and the TXT file.

I open command prompt and it reads C:\Documents and Settings\MyName>

What do I type from here? Thanks again for all the help and prompt replies!

@NYCgroove,

If you say that your "rom" folder is on your desktop you need to type

cd\

cd "documents and settings\your windows login\desktop\rom" (ie, if your login is nycgroove then it would be "documents and settings\nycgroove\desktop\rom"

hope that helps.

For some strange reason, no matter what I do, when the ROM folder is in my desktop, I cannot get command prompt to cooperate.

NYCGroove,

I just read the error messages that you got. Imatrix posted the xda3nbftool file that you need to make the SetOperator work. All you should have in that "ROM" folder of yours are: nk.nbf, SetOperator.bat, and the file posted by imatrix. Try it now and it should work.

I have noticed that Helmi does not include the Preparation files in the zip file along with his roms (and it does not say anything in the readme either about things such as resizing the storage (of course, this is all in the wiki)). Maybe, since we have a lot of new comers into the upgrading and downgrading world it might be a good idea to include the files in the zip file (for future releases) and a small addition of preparation instructions for the readme (such as resizing the storage and such). Doing this, we can "save" people who have not read the wiki (or are not aware of it) :)

Just a thought :wink:

Glad to hear you are up and running. I guess you could try to go to Radio 1.13. It works fairly well on my BA. As far as 1.15, I would not recommend it since I have read a lot of mixed opinions regarding that Radio Ver. I know that xdaradar uses that and he does not seem to have any sort of problems. You may want to try it out. If worst comes to worst, you can alway downgrade to 1.13.

As far as fixes, other than the two fixes in the first post of this thread (Transcriber and .NET), I have not seen too many others that might deal with stability or functionality of the device. Just keep an eye out for this thread. Just remember that "Good things come for those who wait"... particularly when the one delivering is Helmi 8)

Re: WiFi

The pushmail is disabled as I don't use it. I think my problem is that wifi gets enabled as I see the LED indicating it. But in the Wireless Lan Manager I don't see the network detected. Has this something to do with the fact that my wireless network requires a network key password to be given. But I have disabled authentication and tried also, it just doesn't get the network.

Choosing a different Keyboard Language

Helmi,

Thanks a lot for the great work; I was using TuMa 1.3 and decided to give your ROM a try; overall, I am happy; however, I still the following problems, number 3 being the nastiest.

1) I got the error for Voice Commander; re-installed it from EXTROM; working fine now.

2) Contacts still don't show in PI 2005; downloaded PI 2007 Beta but could not install it at all; did anybody have any luck installing it?

3) I am using the Arabizer software from ImagiNet which is working fine except for one problem; the Arabizer installs an additional keyboard that has the Arabic layout; I cannot select the Arabic keyboard at all; whenever I do, the selection goes back to the default English keyboard; tried to change it from the Settings/Input; didn't work either; I cannot type Arabic SMS which is a big problem for me;

Hope you can fix this problem soon.

Keep up the spirit of good work.

Hassen.

* 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"

Hi

I got problems to get connection while switching between cradled and wifi. When cradled, often ActiveSync-Error 85002003 unables to connect to exchange-server. When trying wifi bubble-error appears "cannot connect with current...".

Like I wrote, I tried AirFix 1.0, which gives the possibility to stop and start the "connmgr.exe". But then, the phone-process "cprog.exe" is struggling and the phone isn't working properly (no incomming calls, outgoing calls can't be ended).

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] raymonds:
If you want to have the cab files in the Extrom installed in your device, you have to understand that Storage is not the same as Storage Card.

Storage is in the device under W2k3, it gets wiped out when you upgrade to WM5... while the Storage Card pertains to the SD card, which stays intact after the upgrade.

You should have an SD card, and put the Extrom folder in the Storage Card.
