@ xplode:

I have downloaded Microsoft's Theme Generator and SPB Extended Theme Generator addon, But to convert the Theme into an 'extended theme' I need the original background images. The image size should be 320x320 so that the theme works in landscape. I think there are 2 different images, one for the background and another for the menu. Can you attach them to the thread so that I can tweak the theme files?

For both themes, Crossbow and Vista, if possible...

EDIT

Also, the theme can make use of icons (Vista icons if available):

internal battery (could be a small round battery);

Battery

Battey charging (connected to power outlet)

Battery empty

Memory

Backlight (could be a lamp)

Storage (HD)

Storage Card 1 (SD)

Storage Card 2 (CF)

Storage Card 3 (another, one of these could be used for the RamDisk)

The Icons could be 32x32 or bigger, I can doctor them to fit the desired sizes, and do various other adjustments to make them look good on the themes. If you can provide them to me Id be very grateful, and we can have improved Crossbow/Vista themes for our ROMs.

Virtual GPS issue

when i try to use the GPS applect in settings->system->gps i can set hardware and virtual gps ports, but after tapping ok and reopening my settings are gone.

In Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.0 Beta (v.1.1 Beta) ROM there was the same issue, Helmic forgot the gpsid.dll in the windows directory and posted it seperatly afterwards. I tried this trick, but still not working.

any ideas?

In the previous ROMS pushmail wasn't allowed over wifi, turning on pushmail made wifi turn of and gprs got active. We thought this was a microsoft thing, but it appeared to be a device-manufacturers choice.

So depending on where this 3.5 ROM came from pushmail<>wifi will work.

On my device, qtec9090, pushmail works great over wifi with this xplode 3.5 rom

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] zard:
Hi Xplode,

This is the best rom ever. Though many people prefer to put more programs into the extrom, I beg to differ because it seems to give me more problem to run GPSProxy. Even with 1 or 2 Today plug-in, MS Voice Commander 1.6, GPSProxy won't run previously.

With this rom, I could have 2 Today plug-in, MS Voice Commander 1.6, GPSProxy still runs fine. I found that the lesser programs I have in extrom (plus of course also thanks to you for moving programs out of rom), my BA is working very well now. After upgrading with this rom, I then choose what I really need to be installed. In this way, it works very well for me.

I have not tried Notes syncing in XP but with previous AKU 3.3 rom, it was a problem for me. Think others are facing this problem too with this rom.

Smartdial won't work, but ezdial solves that problem (with AKU 3.3, with ezdial, I cant run GPSProxy).

Powerpoint won't start, not really a problem for me as I don't use it at all.

Other issues brought up on GPS, I've not tried as my GPS is not with me. Will only be able to try it in 2 days time.

All in all, everything is great with this rom. I just hope that you can solve the Notes sync problem soon and I would be stuck with this rom for a long time. I will try Broadcomm BT drivers when Helmi comes up with new developments on that and test out MS Voice Commander again with my Bluespoon AX headset, as of now, notifications doesn't come out from the AX, only through the BA speaker.

Xplode, great work! It's Christmas eve, wishing you and Helmi a Merry Christmas!

Cheers! :)

yeah, i think it's a problem for most of the guys here

i still can not decide to flash which rom, because every one is beta version and has many bugs.

it would be the best thing if xplode and/or helm could make a stable version rom -- either 3.2, 3.3, or 3.5:confused:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mambojambo:
Every single release would be beta. There is no way you can get a totally bug free ROM. People like Xplode and Helmi are more or less heroes to the community. They spare their own time to make usable ROMS for us. Some are so usable that they can be considered almost perfect. Keep in mind that NO ONE is paying Helmi or Xplode. And be thankful that they are willing to do it, since the rich companies that we bought our PDA's from are not willing to even fork out some cash to do RnD for their existing users. Like Ralpheboyo said, WM5.0 for BA has come a long way. It is true that at the beginning, when you are new to the whole thing, you'll be wishing for someone to tell you which rom is the best. But what you should try doing is to explore yourself the world of WM5.0 as of today and learn how these ROMs work. You'll soon get used to flashing your BA and in no time, you'll find yourself appreciating the whole progress of how Wm5.0 has come this far. By then, I hope you too, and even myself, can contribute to the community by reporting bugs and helping to find solutions.

Cheers to all the ROM makers out there!

Why did you get aggression?

These comments are correct but somethings missing...

Did you distinguished?

No one so rich to try every rom versions. helmi_c,xplode and other developers may seems you like heroes, may be that is true.

But you forget that...

They have no risk! and this devices are not cheap for everyone.

Curious people allways tries new things. And they have right to know what is the difference, what is the risk, what is the advantage, which specifiactions are advanced which ones poor... Why must get to crossover among Wm5 versions? What is necessary... etc etc etc...

They are not Knights of universe, Yes we have give thanks to them but without exaggeration, so think they are normal people.

At the last.

Thanks helmi_c really great work... No No

As what I sad at past times...

"This is an Artwork."

But:

We interested about somethings, we have really questionmarks...:

Which rom we must choose? which rom give better peformance to us?

Why you don't work together about making a best rom?

Why there are a lot of rom versions?

I've already use Aku 3.2 and i affair to change 3.5 ( Comments are seems very desperate about bugs in both of 3.5 rom versions)

Thanks for who read this comment,

Good days.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mambojambo:
I never knew I sounded as if I praised these ROM makers like Gods. LoL. You are absolutely right that they are normal people. My BA wasn't cheap at all for me, and I believe almost everyone here cherishes their BAs, otherwise I don't think they'll even bother looking around for new ROMs.

You are definetely right about new people trying new things. And it is true that new people will be full of questions especially like those you mentioned. Why this and why that. Why not working together. Why no stable version. Which one more stable... etc.

It is a good idea to come in and ask about bugs or leave feedbacks after you have tried a particular ROM. Yes, there are risks, not just for new comers but for everyone. But if no one is willing to actually flash their BA, then who else? For new comers who are afraid of spoiling their BA, well... not that you should completely back off. But hey, do read around through posts since last year and I think you can be more confident that your BA will be allright! :-)

But coming in here and asking which ROM is the best ROM certainly isn't going to help much. Not that it wouldn't, but I believe we are all here with a common aim, to make our BA more productive by coming out with better ROMs. Comeon guys, don't expect people to do the testing for you and then tell you which is best. Try it yourself, then leave feedbacks. At least you too might actually help to discover the bugs.

Btw, this post, is not directed at anyone in particular. I mean, since we're talking about it, it is of my most humble opinion that new comers should understand that they are here not to leech ROMs but to also participate. Or at least not make too *general* requests such as "Why not join forces, why not just stick to one ROM, etc etc" And, as I said earlier, by exploring around, then you'll learn to appreciate the progress the community has achieved so far.

Merry Christmas to all.

I want to thank Helmi and Explode for the fantastic work with the ROM. I've tried the newest ROMs from both and love them.

You and the others before you have made owning a Blue Angel a fun experience. Thank you all very much.

Personally, I like both the stipped down (clean) ROMs and the full featured ones.

For me it's not so important what programs are in the ROM. Personally,I'd like to see the WiFi and bluetooth working better without resetting, etc.

May God bless you for your wonderful work!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] rhmartin:
The cab file default installation dir is in \Program Files, probably may cause problems to others although it worked fine with me also.

Anyway, changing the default install dir to \Windows will avoid others from installing it outside the device.

Just for info; helmi_c AKU3.5 fix1 partially solves the gps software com port not saving settings, although the hardware com port problem still remains. The partial fix also works in this rom.

Xplode,

Helmi has a new rom using AKU 3.5. BTA2DP is supported with this new rom.

I just bought the I-tech Clip Radio. It was recognised by my IIs with your 3.5 rom as wireless stereo and Handsfree. Microsoft VC 1.6 doesn't annouce incoming call to my headset. My voice too does not go through the headset mic. I believe your rom might not support BTA2DP at the moment, or I am wrong about that.

I used Task Manager to go into devices, and I found the following not loaded

$device\WAV8(WAV8 => Reg Key is Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd (its a dll file)

I believe this file is not in Windows directory. Do you have this file? Can you upload it for me to test if this file will give me Bta2DP?

I'm reluctant to try out Helmi's rom as I'm worried it has other apps in the rom that will give me problems whereas your rom is lean and clean of many other apps. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, this is the rom that gives me 2 Today Plug-ins and still allow me to open GPSProxy without any problem. Helmi's earlier roms (2.6 and 3.3) doesn't give me that, but I must say that his roms are good as well.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks.

i have not A2DP compatible headset to test it, but i have not changed anything since my aku 3.3 rom in which i have reports that A2DP is working fine, i i suppose it should work in AKU 3.5 too, i think the file responsible for A2DP is BtA2dp.dll which i have in rom

I believe this file is not in Windows directory. Do you have this file? Can you upload it for me to test if this file will give me Bta2DP?

You are correct that the file is Bta2dp.dll, which is in \windows folder. I ran a registry search and found that BtA2dpSnd is the folder name. Apologies for my error here. I tried to manually start BtA2dp.dll using Task Manager but it doesn't seem to start, even though it the message said "The operation completed successfully" but it still show unloaded. Of course, it might also mean that unless BtA2dp.dll is running, it will show as unloaded.

Can you share with me the information you have on BtA2dp? Thank you.
