Hi Xplode,

I found two files in ftp under fixes:

1. HTC File Support Addon.cab

2. xplode Network Cards WiFi Fix.cab

I know what item 2 is for but what about item 1. Can you share what is this cab for?

BTW Xplode, do you have smartdial cab? I've been asking around in the forum but no one seems to be uploading it for me.

Thanks.

Mwilmars smart dialer v2.2 attached. The colors don't match with the built-in dialer but it works.

Someone is looking for this too. Please backup the original Power.exe located at \Windows then overwrite with the unzipped attached file.

thanks for the uploads but there are problems with them.

1.unable to rename or overwrite power.exe. Had to boot in safe mode to overwrite it

2. both hide cabs give errors during install that they are not for this device.

3. smartdial is only V.2.1, installs but after soft reset, the PDA is unable to get to today screen and phone icon has ! Had to remove it to get today to complete boot
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] zard:
rhmartin,

Thanks a million. Had been searching the forum and the internet for the past week for the smartdial without any success at all. Appreciate it. It works fine except that it is truely version 2.1, no issue for me.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] rhmartin:
hi motisu,

thanks for the feedback.

1. i used activesync (4.5 beta if it matters at all) to overwrite the original file.

2. sorry about that, those are cabs for uni, uploaded the fixed ones.

anyways, ihere are the reg entries

Hide rotate icon

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Screenrotate]

"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000

Hide wireless manager icon

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]

"Keep"=dword:00000000

3. yup version should be 2.1. but the problem of unable to get to today screen is strange. it definitely worked for me without a glitch.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] motisu:
Hi RHmartin,

1. The new hide cabs work just fine. :)

2. Stangely, but after uninstalling and reinstalling smartdial, it work OK.

3. after booting in safe mode, I was able to overwrite power.exe and it also works fine.

Big thanks for all 3.

Hi Xplode and the other gurus :),

i am currently still havent gone to your version due to the fact that i am still very happy with Helmi 3.2 rom.

Reason being is that I am not sure what the listed current issues are, and I am afraid that I will lose a lot of functionalities from my current rom.

1. Can you or someone else list known issues for this rom please?

2. What about the BA turns on randomly issue ie. big mike fix. Is it still there?

3. What about activating voice dial from bluetooth handsfree - is it available on this rom now?

From the feedback, this rom is very good, however, I would like to know the current issues it has, whether I can live with it for the moment or not.

I am sure sooner or later I WILL use this rom on my IIs, its just a matter of time :)

Thanx a lot.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bara_too:
I'm not a hardcore user so here it goes! I was using helmi's before this and here is what i can say:

1. i encountered minor issues, bluetooth light turning on when booting (after booting its off) , when playing video on Windows Media Player the video is not centered on its display , voice commander sometimes make the BA soundless

2. don't have this issue!

3. haven't tried it yet! if it does, you can install helmi's bluetooth stack maybe it will work!

very happy with it though and it is faster than the older roms! there are less programs and apps though!

thank you xplode

No more updates on this ROM? How about new versions with all the fixes? "Its seems that all ROM gurus are "hibernating"? Ive read about AKU 3.5 chinese ROm for Himalaya, what about for BA? any developments so far?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] MasterMerlin:
Calm down .. take some fresh air and think about that all the ROM Gurus are also have a real life where they maybe have to buy some gifts for x-mas or take some time with there friends. If Xplode or any other bring up something new, you will get informed ..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
@ALL AKU 3.2 roms are more stable than 3.3 and 3.5, and they are almost bugfree, I am thinking about cooking 3 types of roms, one AKU 3.2, 3.3 and 3.5, i have working release of 3.5 but it still has the same problems as 3.3 plus tha pocket excel does not work

This is my first public release, so when more eyes are looking for the bugs they are obvious, but it will not be bad if some of you give ideas for fixing the bugs because i am really jammed in one place

1. Power Bug - i was thinking that thiss happens because of the power service, but i am wrong (might be from driver incompatiblity with newest AKU roms)

2. Lack full integration between Comm Manager and Phone,Wifi - this for sure happens because of driver incompatiblity

3. Office bugs - like mist to me (in AKU 3.2 works fine AKU 3.3 works but shows an error on first start AKU 3.5 word and powerpoint works, excel starts fine but when you open file the device crashes) i am really dont know how to fix them

4. Media Player - files support is fixed, the shifted screen on video playing is from the skin, in next release it will be with default media player skin
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
Hi explode,

well your aku 3.3 is pretty good, few minor bugs. anyway i think rather u r gonna build 3 diff rom, i suggest to concetrate on just one and make it bugfree.

and Helmi_c i hope u got your BA back soon :)

Tuma, I hope u get back in the game soon too :)

great works to all u guys.

cheers.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
you are right, i think i should concentrate on AKU 3.5 because it is the latest one, i will publish first test rom this evening, you can build your own extrom i will publish only nk.nbf files from now on packed with winrar

what do you think guys , should i post it in new topic or cotiniue here ?

the base rom is the same for both AKU 3.3 and AKU 3.5, and they have the same bugs
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] oelapoel:
Hi Xplode,

I agree that you should concentrate on 1 rom, and that should be the latest one. Please create a new thread to separate it from the other rom.

in that case, i will wait for your latest rom then :)

Feel sorry for myself cause I am only a user. Cant really help much, but I will try to give inputs for all you gurus...

What are the improvements from AKU 3.2 to AKU 3.3 to 3.5?

it said in the beginning of this thread that there are bug fixes, however no details. Where can I find these details?

Cheers

Hi ,

A bit confused , Anyone can enlighten me on "base rom is the same for both AKU 3.3 and AKU 3.5" ?

What is base rom ? i thought AKU is the complete ROM.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] blackflagsvn:
Well, it's a good idea to publish just nk.nbf. However, not all users can build their own extrom or at least which programme should be installed. So Xplode, please pack your add-ons plus must have *cabs.

In additions, opening a new topic for each ROM release is a good idea for the purpose of easy-to-follow, man.

Keep on working man!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] zard:
Xplode, I suggest that you post together with the other apps in a separate folder, and we can include whatever we need into the ext rom. Other apps that I was trying like mad to find was the smartdial and finally I managed to get version 2.1. Do you have a newer version? Please include in your new AKU 3.5 rom folder.

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
Agreed, focusing on one ROM is the best.

I'd start a new thread for sure. In fact, I'd encourage people to start new threads for any issues that come up. Perhaps with a decent subject line e.g.:

xplode 3.5: cannot get wifi connected.

I've long been of the opinion that these huge, monolithic threads are really counter-productive. The conversations are disjointed and it's hard to see if a question has been answered.

hi xplode

just download you r1 rom and flashed my m2000 with it the rom great but can you help me with a prob my contacts wont start just flash up then goes of the device work fine still and could you tell me how to load the ex/rom as im new to all this thanks paul
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
Please start a new thread! it avoids confusion, and long threads (this one has 22 pages already) get annoying after a while.

Overall I am impressed with xplode 3.3 R1, I have not yet delved into Bt and WiFi, but as a phone it has been working really well.

One problem which has happened to me a few times is that the machine sometimes loses the network and requires a soft-reset to get back. Sometimes it takes more than 2 days for it to happen.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] rhmartin:
I would also agree to an AKU 3.5 and leave the stable AKU 3.2 as it is for now.

If you are using bepe's ROM Kitchen, it will also be nice to upload the modules so those who have knowledge in ROM cooking can play around with the Pocket Excel modules & probably help out with solving the crash problem.

As been said before, despite the minor problems in AKU 3.3 ROM, it is more stable & faster ROM compared to the previous ones. You also mentioned that the base ROMs (3.3. & 3.5) are similar & therefore we may expect at least the same speed & stability to the newer AKU 3.5 ROM.

Keep up the good work mate!

woow....!!!

what a ice rom explode,, you did "explode"!! I would like to congratulate you for this, I guess you put a lot of your effort here. this version of yours is a lot faster than that of helmis aku3.3. I love the icons and all.. wifi works fine, as welll as bluetooth. (though I use the widcomm right now)

here are some of the few minor bugs that should be fixed on next version.

the first time you open powerpoint, a popup message saying "ppt is not a valid wm application", and you have to tap it again and the app will open. (well just a liitle prob but is annoying) lol

pieplus seems not working, I guess, I don't know to others who have tried it in this version, my problem is that, only one tab is visble , when you open another tab, it doestn appear on the screen as a second tab and so on. I have configured pieplus, or would I say I miss something, but stilll the same thing hapend. I just replace it with multiie.

tweaks2k2, WELL AT FIRST it gives me error, but after soft reset the app is working fine again.

so far the rom is very nice, I know this is your first public rom but still you did a very great job.

oh by the way regarding camera problems well, don't have any problems with the camera, it's working fine.

the only missing in here are extra applications which are very usefulll and worth to be integrated in the rom like Runningprograms, psshutxp, wmstorage, softkeyapplet, startupmanager, htc x button (definitely),and taskmanager,

goodluck explode.

The archive uploaded to the ftp works just fine, for those that get corrupt archive please use a download manager or ftp client, or just redownload it.

This build of camera has known problems so I will change it with earlyer (but fine working) version (Temporary fix for this camera is hard reset)

The Office programs behave strange after patching the new icons so i will just return the original ones

PIEPlus works just fine here, it opens tabs normally

Some extra apps can be included in EXTROM, i just want clean rom, i will include requested apps in my next version

I am now testing the battery bug that cmwong456 mentioned maybe tomorrow there will be updated version

I am seeng that some of you guys have problem updating so here is the common WM5 update procedure:

1. Put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing power, reset and record buttons at the same time, your screen should show Serial and your bootloader version

2. Put the device in your cradle

3. Start MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe (it will kill activesync automaticaly) and follow the onscreen instructions

4. Press reset button, before the radio, protocol and rom versions show hold record and camera buttons, in your screen 3 options will show. you change the line with record button and change the option with camera button. Leave first one at NO state, and the other two at YES state, and press the Mail button (This procedure is known as WM5 Hard Reset)

5. Perforn the traditional WM setup by alignning the screen and test the stilus and set the time, date, timezone, password and email

6. The EXTROM setup starts please wait until it is finished, it will restart your device, and thats all

I am now testing the next build of this rom, in the extrom i have included all requested apps, i hope i have a fix for camera, but i will try in a few minutes

i have requests to build a versions of this rom without ramdisk and with larger pagepool size, i think this is the most balanced version 16MB Pagepool and 32MB ramdisk

what do you think about that ?

Another thing about flashing, the upgrade tools have problem killing the activesync 4.5 beta2 process rapimgr.exe, so you should kill it manually trough task manager, everything works fine with AS 4.2

Hey, xplode!

At first, I want to thank you for cooking the ROM. The world is now better because of those people like you. Peace!

Here are some thoughts of mine about your ROM:

As a semi-pro PDA user (I think so), I'm very glad in working at a clean ROM so I can feel the fastest speed of ROM. I know WM5 for BA is unofficial and if you let this buggy ROM never has any chance to crash, I love to. In my hand is a PPC Phone, it have to be working entire of my life without anything like "soft reset". That why I hate "psShutXP" exists in my software list.

And this incredible ROM has almost options which I want:

- The speed

- The stable performance

- *Clean ROM*

(Some bugs but I don't really care. If you can fix them, it will be very nice)

And I have a suggestion: Don't listen to above people, just make the ROM perfect as you think.

Love you! (more than Helmi :(),
