I forgot to mention, that I use 1.3.1 and experience these problems too, so that can be side-effect of increasing paging pool size. Hope it isn't.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] MHoefler:
Something is wrong with the RAMdisk size!

Hi!

All new ROM versions seem to have a 16 MB RAMdisk! I just flashed the version that says "16 MB bitpool and 32 MB ramdisk", but when I look in the "Memory" settings of my BA, it says total size of RAMdisk is 15,92 MB.

What's the problem here?

To Helmi: is it possible to make the size of the RAMdisk adjustable for the user? If not, can you create ROM versions with different ramdisk sizes? E.g. 16, 32, and 48 MB so that everybody can choose what's best for his needs? The paging pool should always be 16 MB, as this seems to have turned out as the optimum.

Also, is it still a speed advantage to install programs on the ramdisk? If no, it'd be preferrable to have even smaller ramdisk sizes (e.g. 4 or 8 MB) just for temporary stuff. Or maybe even no ramdisk?

Thanks,

Martin

Radio

Thanks Hemi,

Here is my report about new rom. After the rom was instaled, bluetooth and wifi can´t turn on. But after choosing turn it on and SR it was active. A few days later everything was OK, I didn´t have to SR, the machine runs smoothly:

* The ROM is very good and has many attractive features. Now, all functions work on my MDA III.

* But sometime it is freezed with no reason

* I have to start radio manual by touching the radio icon and choose setting.

Someone said that it runs faster than WM 2003se, but I tested some versions WM2005 (Logout, Tuma, Hemi 1.3.2) in my opinion the speed is little a bit slower than WM2003se (1.42 T-mobile official version) and consume more energy. :rolleyes:

I have having lots of problems downgrading to 2003SE. I have formatted my extended rom, and unlocked my extended rom. Now the modified Maupgrade works but my unit is a PH20B and the Baupgrade no longer works. When I switch the unit to program mode, Baupgrade checks the unit and then I get an error 100.

not using big mike's fix will give you instable BT. When you have BT on and your BA goes to sleep, you'll probably need a soft reset to get BT working again. There's a lot more instability, but i forgot the details. Must of us using WM5 on a BT are using big mike's fix.

In helmi's ROM package there's an ADDON folder. In this folders there are two cab's to enable and disable big mike's fix. Havent tested them myself, but knowing Helmi, i'm sure they work. So try it and see what happens.

Downgrading back to 2003SE

@keano,

I did do that. That is how I downgraded but now no operating system (i-mate, t-mobile, etc) writes the Extended rom.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] keano:
did you do the following? (cut and paste from somewhere in the forum)

2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)

kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe

3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.

4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001

5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.

6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted

7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.

Upgraded But have some problems

First of all thanks to Helmi,Mamaich and all others who contributed to the development of this great ROM. I think this is the best ROM ( of all that i've used). Active Sync works perfectly and thanks for the inclusion of the backup application.And many more utilities. Please excuse me for writing the reply too late. This was because I was testing the ROM thoroghly.

But Helmi, I found two major problems that I want to any others have experienced?

1. I have activated the Smart X utility. When I pause the Windows Media Player for some 5 minutes or so or till the backlight turns off, the phone freezes and I have to reset the device. I even disabled the Smart X, but the problem was there. I finally decided to Hard Reset and I did that. Even now the Problem persists. Any suggetions.

2. The Media Sync Problem: have installed the Windows Media Player 11 Beta (1 I think). With that I have no problem syncing the audio files. But when I try to sync the Video files, it converts the files. On the Blue Angel only I can hear the Audio but no Video.

Please give your valuable suggetions and guidance.

Ramdisk removal (?)

Hi

Great ROM, no doubt.

It was asked several times, but still remain unaswered.

How to remove/change amount of RAMDISK ?

Is it possible without reflashing rom ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
you can remove it/make it smaller without reflash, but you wont gain the memory back into programs memory, it will be lost.

Best bet is to set the ramdisk registry to teh size you want, then reflash hemi's rom which you have hex edited to gain/lose the right amount of ram. DO NOT WM5 HARD RESET and you phone will be like before, just with the ram and ramdisk changes. (if you dont hard reset you dont lose data cause the ROM version is the same, just sifferent ram settings for boot).

or dont bother :P
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:

I'm getting permanent whitescreen after installing this. (The whitescreen after selecting to format after first coloured stripes) I've tried reflashing with it and still get a white screen.

Also tried using the old XDA IIs Upgrade ROM (which works). So I don't know whether it's a problem with the bootloader. Or not as the old ROM I was using still boots up ok.

Device Details are:

PH20B 0 B

WWE E

O2___001

1.40.00 0 0

1.40.242

1.12.00

12.00

ROM is 32MB Pool, 16MB Page.

Edit: Tried the 16MB pool version and worked first time. It seems that with the other version using setoperator would cut the nbf file down to 6MB which I didn't realise was not normal.

I'm having the same problem; I posted about it a few pages later but I missed this chat originally.

I don't think it's a network problem. I've tried the phone with a Vodaphone SIM card and it has the exact same problems. Incomming calls fail most of the time and outgoing usually gets cut off around 30 secs in. It's a nightmare as most of my calls go to voicemail and you get cut-off on the voicemail after you delete the message but before your phone clears the voicemail icon.

I don't have the device info problem when when upgrading; the ROM and Radio are shown correctly and the ExtRom entry is blank. This only works when the phone is in the bootloader but when it's on ActiveSync I get a country error (as expected, right?). I've tried both Helmi 3.2 and 2.6 with both 1.13 and 1.15 radio roms and I can't get rid of it. I've had it once before and I cannot remember for the the life of me how I sorted it out.

Can anyone help? My phone is effectively useless and has been for a couple of weeks now.

Hi Unicorn,

I was talking about Microsoft Voice Commander, the last official version is 1.5 and seems it doesn't work in any WM5. The one which is on the ROM might be usefull for native American or English speaking but not for others. MS V/C accuracy is much higher then Helmi's provided with the add. Helmi's VC demands lot of memory and as well if installed can be possible reason for "Blank Screen" or "can not load" Helmi (I removed it because I got blank screen).

Similar problem

I've had this problem each time I've tried to upgrade since one particular Helmi ROM didn't have this problem. I also had the same problem with the Tuma ROM's.

The only one that works without disconnecting calls is the one that gives you 'operation failed' whenever you reset the device. This is really annoying and means that when you change batteries you need to do several resets before the phone works correctly. Any subsequent ROM I've tried causes this, so from these comments it looks like this one is no different.

I am on Orange UK, so I'm sure this is the culprit - they've replaced my phone once and it made no difference. I do wonder why the particular ROM I'm using now works and the others don't. Any ideas anyone?

Would it be possible to set a different operator and still make calls? I don't think so...

It means that your operator is set to AT&T.

To set operator, use the setoperator.bat that is included in the upgrade package and set your operator code to whatever it is. List for operator and their codes is available somewhere in this forum or the Wiki. for usa and T-mobile, i guess it is T-MOB001, however, do check first.
