well, to be simple, there's no Storage support on WM5, maybe u need to do it manualy about the ExtROM. the Important file is Enable_MMS.cab (to enable MMS) and u maybe need to run manualy the DelCDetect.exe to delete The Camera_Detect.lnk on StartUp folder. and ur ready to go.

or

copy the cab u need from ExtROM packet, and store them in

\ExtRom (Main memory)

and edit the Cfg.txt and Autoconfig.txt change every "\Storage Card\ExtROM" tag to "\ExtROM" , find & replace might usefull on this...and run the autoconfig.exe manualy...the cab will install automatically... done...

btw u must do this on every hard reset (but u only need to edit the cfg.txt and autoconfig.txt just once, if we assume that u save it in ur computer and copy-paste to device on every hard reset)

hopes it'll helps.

In WM2003SE, I kind of remember being able to see a popup when the connection to a wireless network had been established. Is it still possible in WM5?

In Settings/Notifications/Connection established, I've ticked "Display message on screen", but the baloon never pops up. Anyone else have this problem? (for the heck of it I also ticked "Vibrate" and it didn't work either).

I need this because I always end up trying to browse in IE before the connection is done establishing.

IT3689,

Thanks for the tip. But like I said in a later post, my problem did not happen from saving the file. As a matter of fact, I don't think I know what happenned anymore :oops: . I just thought it was too much of a coincidence that after using Excel twice, I just couldn't wake my BA up (other than by SR). It could have been just instability of the rom.

I'm using 1.3 Helmi Rom with 1.5 Radio. Generally, it is good.

I have the following problem:

1. If BT is on, my device seems to switch off and on by itself, between intervals of about 1 min or so.

2. I don't recall having this problem when I was using 1.2 Helmi Rom with 1.5 Radio.

I read in the 1.2 Helmi Rom thread about this problem for all WM5 using MS bt (bigmike patch), turn the phone on in random time and currently Helmi dont hv fix for this. Is this statement holds true for 1.3 Helmi Rom? Hope those who knows about this could quickly respond before I start doing I try doing a fresh ROM dumb onto my O2 IIs again.

hmm... I like ur idea Joe, been thinkin about doin that also, but I think Upx thoose app is enough, btw I've upx them ppt.exe to 798kb (default 2.2mb) and pxl.exe to 331kb (normal 851kb) and also tmail.exe to 125kb (normal 316kb) so, normal file size is 3.32mb and upx version is only 1.22mb well, 2.1mb free at least. but my v1.3 rom hv some file missing (.NET 400kb)...

btw it is possible to make a rom with 2 BT stack MS and Broadcom, and with appropiate cab or app to switch beetween them, but we hv to strip MMS or even some more, cos the broadcom stuff is so big... 8mb...

Maybe I dont use powerpoint, but I think we shouldn't remove a basic app. , cos for some user it might be usefull or even a daily task. we can always able to save to storage card for extra app right? really appreciate u input bro. well, I'll go with the vote..

Strange, I tried UPX'ing the office apps and none worked... Hmmm, I think I will try one more time.

I have read dlls can be UPXed too, but they are more tricky, some may not work UPXed because of changed memory addresses or something like that... they would have to be tested one by one.

EDIT:

Yeah, Office apps don't work if I use the standard upx compression, but if I use 'upx -i --strip-relocs=0 --compress-exports=0 --compress-resources=0 ppt.exe' the .exe remains functional, and only 1KB bigger. :)

/EDIT

EDIT2:

I compressed office.dll, pxl2xls.dll,xls2pxl.dll and pxlfile.dll (besides the exes). officeres.dll and officeres.96.dll are not compressible, at least with the settings above. each dll is cut by at least 50% original size.

And guess what? I tried to saving excel files to main memory, just for kicks, and I couldn't manage to lock excel or the device :) which was happenning before the dlls/exe were compressed.

/EDIT2

EDIT3:

Call me reckless, or hard-reset lover... but I have compresses gwes.exe, which is a very very basic system exe in charge of graphics, windowing end events... and the machine booted nicely afterwards!

Reduced from 1078KB to 591KB.

i am going to experiment swapping some other big system files with UPX versions, if anyone b0rks the system, I'll blacklist it.

The bluetooth quality is not great regardless of which cab i used.

There is a delay in ring when recieving a call.

SMS does not show up when the phone is screen locked and the screen is off.

I think overall, the major one is the SMS not coming in and waking up the phone. The ring delay is there in many of the windows 2k5 roms. It is still an ongoing problem.

I have been using this ROM for a while now. Really fast, most things work great. On my BA I have two major issues:

- when bluetooth is on, the system wakes up every few minutes, which is not very nice, especially in a dark bedroom.

- when I remove the main battery (backup battery is ok) the system loses its settings for GPRS and Wifi. With a normal reset this goes fine.

- after removing the battery, the radio message on the splash screen says None, after a stylus reset the radio comes back and the phone gives service.

this is a known bug in wm5, not helmi specific. in wm5 bt keeps getting lost. 'big mike' made a workaround via waking up the pda every few minutes when bt is on. not the most optimal solution but without this workaround, wm5 is useless for bt-users.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] jakubd:
I'm not sure it is worth answering, but it's nice sometimes to have answers in one place, instead of using search many times.

I love to say this: THIS is a fix :) thanks to it, you can use Bluetooth headset withpout loosing connection when power goes off. Restarting is a side effect of the fix. So far there is no solution for this. If you don;t use BT headset, just shut down BT.

BTW: Helmi, can you preapre a cab, that reverts the old, erratic BT driver, that works the old way? I don't use HS, so I don;t need this fix.

I'm not sure what is this: those setting are kept in flash, not in ramdisk, isn't it?

This is known problem: on the first boot GSM hardware boots slowet, than rest of the system, and on driver load hardware is still not ready. I don;t think that can be solved without M$ help, so we can forget about this. Just soft reset after a while when making first boot.

great speed improvement

i'm using 1.3 for a day now and the speed is impressive faster. my personal benchmark is tomtom startup time.

on 1.2: over 30 seconds

on 1.3: about 18 seconds

on 1.2 with PHM overclocking it was 13 secs, but I suspect PHM of currupring files. Lost the phone sound files and pshutxp was corrupt too, so I don't try that again. And with 1.3 I don't need it!!

Re: PHM corrupting files?

:oops: you're right, now you mention it, i lost pshutxp as well on helmi's 1.1b without PHM. So i'll give PHM a second try, this makes my personal tomtom benchmark look like this:

on 1.2: over 30 seconds

on 1.3: about 18 seconds

on 1.2 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs

on 1.3 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs

So could i state that helmi's 1.3 ROM is coming pretty close to the optimum of the device since the difference with/without PHM became so little :?:

I think the next test will be 'time'. How will speed stay when using the system longer than just a few day's. it's my experience that on any ROM speed declines after some time. Not specific on WM5, this was in WM2002 and WM2003 as well.
