[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MonkY:
Thx for the suggestion, but P525 seems too slow even in this USB mode. It goes like 350KB/s instead of 250KB/s... i guess i should settle for that, even if i know the miniSD card is much faster. I was wondering what speed you guys get, so that i should know if i need to exchange my miniSD card (maybe it's so slow because it's not so compatible with my P525 - it's an Apacer miniSD 2GB).

P.S. Does anybody knows a today plugin to replace the standard Date item ? Or maybe a way to customize it (it simply takes too much space for what it does... and i really need to see the date/clock). I've noticed Sorg has done some modifications to remove the battery shown in upper bar... but i still have it in there. How can i remove it ? Thx again !

Later Edit: Found out this:

Now i only need to find out how in the world i can have only the clock in the bar, without the date (becomes too small) :D

Even Later Edit: Found this:

Sorry for messing arround in here, but i hope this will be of some help for other guys searching for same infos :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] max_msk:
Dear Sorg, thnx for the great work! I'm using your build 06. Could you give me a hint on how you managed to map the wired headset button? Is it possible to map this button to jump to next track in TCPMP or any other music player?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MonkY:
Hopefully sorg will release an update soon... or maybe he is waiting for a new firmware from Asus (latest one is french :( ).

Btw, i've noticed in some screens, that ppl can see the Contacts like i do in "Show contact names only" but also have the phone number next to them... If i deselect "Show contact names only" i can see the phone numbers, but beneath the name... and that's a waste of space. Does anybody know how to make it show the number next to the name ? Thx again :D

For example, this is how they see the list: http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/articles/2005/image/wm2005/wm2003se-005.jpg

While i can see it like this: http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/articles/2005/image/wm2005/wm2005-009.jpg or like in the first pic but no numbers... Why ? :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sorg:
i'm not planning to release any updates.

I received too much complains about my ROMs. Although it works fine for me, for some people it causes a lot of problems. May be it's because not proper use or different hardware - i have neither time nor ability to check all this. So, i decided to stop it.

Anyway, everyone is able to build his own ROM now.

May be soon we will see more successful builds of customized ROMs for P525 from someone.

Good luck in creation!

Please Sorg no. I have no problem with your rom. Your rom is THE BEST! Please continue with your GREAT work and share it with us, please.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ronv:
I also support your great work

Please keep on doing it.

Ron
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] User22:
I also support your work, but perhaps you must to have in mind that:

-If you been sharing your roms, the most probable thing that can happen is that people using it give you feed back and also some complainings. My opinion is that this must give you some knowledge to improve, not to take you angry.

-Another user has teach us how to edit the rom, that maybe make you angry, but you must to understand that every one is trying to help to every one.

In any case, if you don't come back here, i think that we will acept it.

Cheers mate and thank you for your work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MonkY:
Even if you don't wanna continue the work for P525, i just wanted to say THANK YOU SORG ! Your work ment a lot for Asus P525 users. Hopefully, somebody else will continue updating "cooking" firmware for this great phone. Wish you all the best, and Happy Hollidays !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
I think the removal of sym.txt caused the problem. Put the attached file under /Windows if you encounter the same problem w/ me.

For Sorg's customized image, I always appreciate what Sorg been done to the P525 community. If you did some homework on Sorg's image, you will found Sorg really did a lot of tweaking (including the lastest Broadcom BT driver 1.7.1 build 9701, trick to make brightness adjustment working for both Phone Alarm and SPB pocket plus ...... etc) to improve the P525. And I am sure Sorg took a lot of time and effort for those.

Sorg, no matter what your decision is. I think want to say a big "Thank You" to you, and wish you could share whatever tricks and programs to make our P525 more prefect in the future.

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sorg:
jackleung,

it's strange the file "sym.txt" affects on some application. I think this file is related to compime engine which anyway doesn't work on P525.

Anyway, thanks for finding solution :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MonkY:
Sorg: i think it would be great if you could share with us some of your knowledge. I understand you got mad for other ppl releasing cooking methods. But you know for some ppl, that will never be an option. Some ppl are too unexperienced and afraid to try "cooking" firmware on their own. Those ppl will always "love" you :D

Now, i think it would be really superb if you could post some tweakings you have done. For example, a registry tweak, or executable you used to make P525 more compatible with some apps. Or maybe the new phone skin. Or maybe an executable to let ppl activate "phone mode" (where you can't touch the screen). It's just a thought... i mean, i think sharing is a bless, and this is probably the best thread for P525 users (not many of these arround). Maybe we could start sharing each other apps settings, ways to improve phone battery life, tweaks, etc...

Anyway, again, humble me thanking for your great work ! Happy hollidays !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greatbal:
Hi Sorg. I agree with a lot of people around here. You can never please everyone. But the important thing is, you made a lot of P525 users happy with your work (including me! :) )

Thanks Sorg for sharing your time and effort with everyone around here... :)

BTW, i noticed that T9 input is disabled whenever i am using Pocket Internet Explorer to input username/password fields and compose any email/messages. if you happen to have a tweak or a solution so we can use T9 in PIE, that would be great! :)

Again, many thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
It's also look strange to me too why this missing file could cause the problem. I just did a lot trial and testing to find this is the root cause (Dos's "Dir /S /OEN /A" and the software "Beyond Compare" helps a lot in here. :))
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LostEchoes:
Sorg,

you have done an excellent job and I'm pretty sure everyone appreciates it very much.

Your contribution for the owners of the Asus P525 is awesome and much needed to be continued.

We are all grateful that you have been helping the P525 owners and I really hope you will change your mind and keep tweaking the roms, thus making this PPC Mobile a superior gadget.

As far as I'm concerned, I plan to buy a P525 but knowing that you may stop improving this device may stop me from buying it. I don't give a damn about the Asus updates and generally about the device if it doesn't have you improving it. You have already converted this device from a quite nice gadget to a *great* one.

So I beg you to reconsider and I can tell you for sure everyone here appreciates your work.

S.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ronv:

Keep on doing your great work.

Don't be offended by a few people , they only meant good

Thank you , please keep updating us.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] exlixx:
Sorg, all I can say is a huge THANK YOU for your great work ... I have been enjoying your "simplified ROM" ... like some other users put it; you have been really helping ASUS a lot - in improving the p525. You have been making a good device great. Without you, the p525 would not have been as good as it is today. So, all of us owe you a huge THANK YOU in your superb work.

Guys please help me out here asap..

I have ordered a unit with serial number starting from 6AA... as the online shop told me.

Should I go through and buy it? Or is it not a good serial number....

Is 6AAxxxx supposed to be a newer model than the ones that had the problems (66, 67, etc)?

I actually asked them if the unit serial # is 68 and above and they told it is 6AAxxxx Confused

thanx in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] User22:
Yes you can do it. Because the Hexadecimal count is : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F So the one that you will buy is 66 67 68 69 6A

Has anyone experienced periodic loss of sound capability. I've noticed the last couple of days that after doing a soft reset I'll get an error on startup saying something about the wav driver not being loaded which of course means no sound.

On a separate issue, is their anyway to dis-associate the the bluetooth headset button from starting up TCPMP? I'm using a WEP200 and the carrying case I made for it makes it so the button on the headset can be pressed easily by mistake.

Last note: Thanks to Sorg for putting in the time to put together this ROM.

But be sure to try again the Asus unlock utility before ...

- You can try Sorg's Simple ROM for ASUS P525 (with the Asus Unlock utility)

- Or the latest Sorg's customized Rom Build 06 (with the Asus Unlock utility)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LostEchoes:
Guys which would be the most appropriate way to transfer the cooked rom files to the miniSD?

- via card reader?

- via Active Sync (any special settings with this option?) ?

thanx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asusp52568a:
You have to format the card and make sure that no other files except the rom and the flash programme. otherwise your P525 may be burnt.

Make sure that you plug your P525 to charger before the flash.

Read and follow the procedure carefully written by sorg at the begining of this section and you are done.

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LostEchoes:
Thanx for the reply but I'm actually interested in knowing if there is any difference in transferring the files to the memory card between the above mentioned ways. Would active sync alter in any way the files if I use it to copy them to the memory card?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
The only different is speed. Activesync only alter files that it recognized activesync setting (e.g. doc, xls, ....etc). But having a card reader is handy if yr P525 can't boot up because of bad image.

Two of the most important problems with Asus P525 are

1) SKYPE doesn't work with internal speaker. It only works with the external speaker....

Here is the corresponding thread at the Asus official forum:

http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx...&board_id=6&model=P525&page=1&SLanguage=en-us

2) Problematic and uncomfortable search functions with T9 - especially when searching a contact... (keypad defaults to numbers when it should default to letters...! )

http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx...&SLanguage=en-us&page=1&board_id=6&model=P525

I'm thinking that if we all go to those topics and raise our voice, maybe Asus will rush and release new updates / patches / roms that will solve these problems.

So please, anyone who is interested go at the above mentioned links (at the Asus forum) and make a comment so that Asus staff can see and realize that these problems MUST be solved asap. (They do claim that Asus staff does not reply to the topics of the forum but we all know that they *do* read them)
