Powerpoint link not working

I have flashed 3.3 but powerpoint link is not working. can anybody or Helmi himself can guide to resolve it with the help of registery
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] littlestub:
Yes,you did a really good job!thanks!

I installed AKU.3.3,evething is OK but it seems I can't open the Powerpoint files,it always says that "the file "ppt"cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or one of its components cannot be found.You must need to reinstall or restore this file."

what should i do now??? Thanks!

Error 102: Ce Image File Checksum Error

I tried downloading the ROM numerous times and did a CRC check too. No errors found. I could not find how to backup data from the device from Activesync. Never used the backup function. Tried using the help files and says to go into Activesync->Tools->Restore/Backup. Went into Tools and never saw a thing of Backup.

Anyways now going into this ERROR 102 while trying to insall the AKU 3.3 ROM.

1. All applications on PC and SPV M5000 closed.

2. SPV M5000 reset.

3. Started ROMUpgradeUt.exe. Clicked next.

4. Error 102 - Setup cannot proceed. Another window shows that Device information and version checking. Kept showing for 1/2 hour.

5. Tried resetting the device again and redownloading the AKU 3.3 ROM.

6. Still no success

Since many people report mistakes in this ROM i will stick with the JMWrights or ivans ROM. Even those ROM's have bugs and mistakes. But not so much as HELMI's.

Personally, I would go for the latest ROM from one of the certified manufacturers. Orange has made the latest ROM with AKU 2.0. Yes that might be good. And a nice theme to go with it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] van:
I think that very nice icons, skin and run very fast

1- PowerPointMobile is not working

2- Contact from Dial phone is not working

3- Two soft key app in setting\system

4- Wrong shortcut when click Startup Manager

5- RAM less than another ROMs Ivan...

Thanks Helmi

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] xanadu:
I think point 1 to 4 are easy to change and Helmi will adjust it ASAP. RAM is less because paging pool use 4 MB more from RAM, therefore we have extra speed.

On my QTEK I made spb benchmark tests, qtek 1.30.77 index result was 299, with Helmi's aku3.3: 568

In fact I can live without Powerpoint, during a call without keypad, with two shortcut icons (I am using only the second one) I can change shortcuts, 26 MB RAM after sr enough for me.

But sending/ receiving sms are very important for me and this Helmi's rom is the first where it works (except shipped roms)

Thanks Helmi everyone has chance using 3.2 rom with 4 MB more free RAM (4 MB less Paging pool, as in shipped roms)

I tried 3.2 and these same ERRORS are present, if anyone wants to know.

Comments

Here is my smoke test results (AKU3.3 version):

. Despite what others have said, text messaging (SMS) works fine for me on the AKU3.3 rom.

. The 'contacts' button in the phone is indeed broken

. Data/3G works fine (tested ok)

. Video calling works fine.

. I can confirm the vjbigphone .lnk file issue in 'startup manager'

. Memory free on boot: 20.43MB

I've had a lot of phone lockups on the other ROMs (Ivan,Indra,Jwright) - here's hoping this is somewhere close to a resolution. On those roms, main symptoms include the data/phone icons in the title bar become unresponsive, phone doesn't call - and outgoing calls refuse to end (end button doesn't work).

Contacts

Contacts button is working for you? Odd - doesn't work for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] LordChaos:
Another bug/issue:

. GPS menu not visible in Connections (need to use standard patch to enable it) - might be nice to include by default in the ROM as in the others.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
No, I believe he meant the Contacts Icon from the Program Folder works.

The problem is the Contacts assigned on the left soft key while the Phone Screen is up.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CWKJ:
Excited!!!.

Can use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade AKU3.3 with all the original ship upgrade tools of my phone?

Does all my SpriteBackup (Registrys & Files) from AKU2 be transfer into AKU3.3?

Does copyng the PPT from Old Rom and copy into AKU3.3 helps?

Any fix for Contact Problem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] LordChaos:

The Helmi ROM freezing? Not getting that here ...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
Thanks for all the input guys...

hmm... its seems most of the problem is on qvga/true vga switchable mode... I'll try to learn more about it... I'm Just gettin started use my exec device...

- If ur phone button is weird, just use vjbigphoneres to fix it (vga mode)

- The two softkey applet in setting is difference use, 1 for easy, 2 for more options.

- Use patch1 for PowerPoint, more readable phone text, Backlight, Power and WlanManager

I need time to get used to my exec...its new stuff for me...lol...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] poussin69:
Patch 1 is ok for Powerpoint, good job well done :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
Thanks very much. It would be nice to not have the patches, but the actual ROM to be fixed. Just a suggestion.

Another thing I noticed, nothing that affects the system but for aesthetic purposes, during a hard reset, after setting the time, etc... on the last screen when the Universal wants us to "Tap the screen" to continue the setup process, the "Whorling Pattern" on the green Windows Mobile 5 Welcome Screen is misalligned.

Hi helmi - thanks for the patch. Think we could also have one for the 'Contacts' button in the phone app? Still doesn't appear to be working after patch 1.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CWKJ:
Q1: Can I just upgrade the nk.nbf without touching ms.nbf/ExtendedRom & radio.nbf?

Q2: If I only upgrade nk.nbf, does it go hard reset？

Q3: If hardreset, what will happen if my Extended Rom part is empty? I have cleared everything in it to use for storage.

Q4: Can the Registrys & Files (Software) from AKU2 using SpriteBackup (very old 2003 version) be put back in AKU3.3 and still work the same? So far my restore when doing hardreset in AKU2 is ok.

Q5: Can the Ppt & coming Contact patch be introduced in ROM say v1.2?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pug:
A1: Yes, delete ms_.nbf and radio.nbf. Recommended to cook your extended ROM though as older extended ROMs contain version specific software.

A2: To get the effects of the new ROM, yes.

A3: No extras will be installed and you will need to manually reset when the install has finished. In hind-sight, ignore the waffle in A1.

A4: If you mean restore an Aku 3.3 install from an Aku 2 backup, why? All you will have is an Aku 2 install and a wasted 30 minutes of your life you'll never get back again. Just contacts/PIM would be OK but a full restore will overwrite core system files with much older versions.

A5: I'll leave that for the man to answer, none of my business that one. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CWKJ:
Thanks pug.

I think the spritebackup only backup the registry & my install software, but not the ROM. I will check.

If I do not restore, you mean all my registry hack (a lot and cannot remember what I have done) has to do manually again. OMG. Is there a simple way.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
Sorry, but no shortcuts. I hope there was. Unless you have individual CAB files of the registry changes you did, then that should have been what you have cooked on the Ext ROM. Anyway if anything goes wrong, since you already have a copy of the backup using the AKU 2 ROM, even if you upgrade to the AKU 3 ROM, it would be easy to restore everything. How? Just downgrade back to your previous AKU 2 ROM and ran your saved backup, and you will have your Universal the way it was before even upgrading to AKU 3.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CWKJ:
Sigh, before I ever start using spritebackup, everything changes are log down by me step by step manually for recovery upon hard reset including Registration Codes, email addresses, etc. Afterwhich I got lazy and did not log, must slowly recall what I have done since using spritebackup. Seems like got some work to do before upgrade. Sign again.

"Human themselves is the best tool, any other tools make human lazy"

eelco_akker:

Can explain a bit on "PIM access has changed since AKU 3.2, you will end up with corrupt files"?

Do you meant the PIM.VOL file?

Or you meant the registrys structure is no longer compatible between AKU2 & AKU3.2 onwards?

Or are you refering to the additional software install by me on AKU2 cannot be used on AKU3.2 onwards?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] eelco_akker:
I believe the filestructure of the PIM has changed dramatically, you cannot restore your PIM.vol 'cause it won't work.

Your AKU2 programs will run on your AKU3.2 version, some CF1 programs will have some problems, but most programs will work.

Cannot Restore PIM.VOL is ok, what about copying the PIM.VOL to SD and copy from SD again after install AKU3.3?

How about SYNC back from Outlook will do the same as above right?

What is CF1 programs?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ksameh:
1. This is the same as performing a restore :)

2. This is the way to do it..you sync to outlook before update and then sync back to the device after update.

3. CF1 is microsoft.net compact framework v1 ..some application are written in that , and they need it to work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beginner:
TRy:

- Copy the file with extension nbf in a folder for other official upgrade. Delete if this is your case the radio_.nbf in order you don't change the radio version if it'snt your objective.

- use mapgradeutility for country error problem.

- upgrade with the device in boot loader.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beginner:
The problem with CF1 looks no solution because the estructure for new AKU 3.2 and AKU 3.3 has changed.

I was looking for a program supported in this rom that can check sms arriving.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] davicito13:
very thanks... but

I update my universal three times, but this is the first time that I have troubles.

I've tried (I think everything) the solutions post here but:

- Copy the file with extension nbf in a folder for other official upgrade. Delete if this is your case the radio_.nbf in order you don't change the radio version if it'snt your objective. [Country ID error]

- use mapgradeutility for country error problem. [restar itself (universal)]

Ok, I'm new indeed

Well, there are a couple new roms all with 5 stars, which everyone really likes... There are hundreds of posts in each of them; I've been reading for an hour, but I'm still not sure at all.

Which one of these roms is the most stable with least bugs? Which one should I really prefer? Can anyone make a detailed comparison in one post, or at least recommend me one of them?

1- IVAN Beta 15

2- Helmi Aku3.2 or Aku3.3 (actually this is the only AKU3.3 I've seen so far, does that mean this is the best :)

3- Indra 5R3

4- Jwrightmcps 's Jasjar rom update

actually, I'd like least programs with lots of memory :) I can install the programs as I would prefer later on, or integrate them into the extended rom. But I can't decide on which core to install... I wouldn't like to upgrade in a short while, this is my main phone too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
From your list right now. Go with Indra's Beta 5 R3.

Why? Ivan and JWright's ROM has memory leaks. That definitely excludes them on my list. It will only take 12 hours and you can't open any apps because the memory has gone down to 2MB, both of them running on a clean ROM (nothing installed). So you need to soft reset to be able to run apps again.

Helmi's ROM is actualy good, but a few apps are not working like the contacts found on the phone app, etc... There is a patch, but it still does not address the problem, maybe in the future.

So, what's left, Indra's ROM. Start reading from the very end of the thread to see if there are any complaints that would deter you from using it. Anyway, it has been out only for a day, so your reading won't be that traumatic. Stop till you get to the part where Indra posted that he now released R3.
