Wi-Fi problem - not resuming after sleep?

Thanks xplode, great work, reasonably stable release that functions well (aside from previous mentions).

Has anyone noticed the following behaviour with WiFi?

If you turn off phone then enable WiFi via comm manager icon, it works first time. Then enable phone.

WiFi is losing network connection in sleep mode, when BA returns from sleep mode, WiFi is in some form of network search loop and has to be disabled and re-enabled to work.

Another observation is that when push email is enable for send and receive immediately, WiFi does not enable and needs a soft reset to work. Conflict with GPRS perhaps??

R4 roM Problem

Hi Xplode

Regarding The rom R4 recently I have flashed to my device as its an excellent Rom I have used In my Xda 2s ever since I have bought. I am very much happy for the rom and its really appreciative work done BY You as well as members who has helped you.

I have some problem which has occurred in few days after flashing the Rom. My today

Screen Image i am unable to change as any .tsk file gets uploaded but doesn’t come the front picture on screen at the same time only real crossbow image Green appears.

Second problem which has started recently is calling green button works perfect for outgoing calls or redialing the number but incoming call the green button doesn’t work for accepting the call at the same time if I am using the Bluetooth call gets accepted easily ,unfortunately I couldn’t understand the exact problem yes few days back this problem was not much but now its increased verymuch. Can you provide solution for this problem .

I am glad and wants to thank you very much for great efforts taken for making this Rom.

Thank You

All in One BA

Hi all,

Somtime I get confused with few version or BA ROMs (from Helmi, Baniaczek etc). And each of them has its own pro and cons. I am just wondering, if all of these "good" guys can come into "onespace", just work on one "single" version, improve the functionalities, stabilities and so on, it will be "wonderful". And we can ensure every ROM release is the best of the best result. What do you think, guys? Lets make BA the best PDA gadget ever, with the powerful hw and the most unique name which everybody likes "Blue Angle".
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Arrrgh!

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

(How many times does this NEED to be asked in the Forums?)

*sigh* ...

All I can say is ... "Do you prefer Coca-Cola ... or Pepsi?"

---

Everyone has a DIFFERENT opinion as to what makes a "wonderful" ROM.

Stability isn't readily quantifiable either ... some people NEED to have 50-billion Today Item Plugins ... others prefer the minimalist approach. Alone this ONE decision by the user of the device, can radically affect the stability!

Each "plugin" can often REQUIRE a specific version of the OS or Library which may be known to be unstable, or older, or incompatible with some applications, but because the ROM author wants to use a particular piece of software, it MUST be included in their ROM.

So ... my point ... does it REALLY need to look like Windows Vista? Does it need SmartDial? Does it need VoiceCommand? Bluetooth GPS/A2DP/CarKit connectivity? Does Battery Life Matter? Do you have 50 applications Running at once? Do you play Games? Is it your LIFEBLOOD PDA which has all your Appointments/Tasks/Contacts with Push-Email, Office & Phone capabilities critical to your work?

Some people have even said to "ditch" the Office applications to make room in the ROM for other "crap" they (apparently) need? I say "HUH?" ... what drugs have you been sniffing? Word/Excel/Outlook/PPoint are CRITICAL for my needs!!!

Ask all the questions of the capabilities ... go through the Pro's and Con's of each ROM, and decide FOR YOURSELF which ROM would suit YOUR needs.

The ROM builders here are working for their own desires, and take into account everyone else's wishes (as best they can). They are our guides (shepherds if you wish) through the quagmire of versions and darkness that is Windows Mobile.

*** Lateral Tangent - Quoting from Pulp Fiction: [Ezekiel 25:17]

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Each ROM builder adds to the base of knowledge, this knowledge is then given freely to everyone, and each future ROM builder is then able to continually improve. But there can never be perfection.

So, I say again ... "Do you prefer Coca-Cola ... or Pepsi?"

- Make mine a Beer.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
@yoogi_ooi yeah right, why dont you ask operator why they make new versions, or why there are roms for every device, or why there is no universal rom for all languages and devices and operators. There are not too much rom versions, you use whichone you like, end of story.

@Tuatara how you doing man i havent see you around :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
I'm doing pretty good actually ...

First, my apologies for the "rambling diatribe" above - but having just read that same question on some other "WM6" threads, and the older ROM building threads of Helmi's, baniaczek's and yours ... having "yet another" one of those posts just pushed me over the edge.

Secondly, I've been VERY impressed with your ROM Kitchen AKU3.5.2 R5 work, and have been following things very intently. I'll be building up a ROM version sometime soon - with some of the custom bits I need added.

Thirdly, as soon as I get some free time (yeah - like that's happened recently *sigh*), I'm going to attempt a WM6 ROM, and try to resolve what the dependancies are and where things are failing. It'd be a 'first step' to see where the problems in the WM6 port are.

Fourthly ... I've got an "idea" to update the toolkit applications (build_imgfs, rgucomp, recmod, etc.) into an integrated package and improve for better performance/memory/etc. with greater reliability in this - i.e. free sectors, module overlap checking, IMGFS and UPX packing, etc. This should then make the Rom "BuildOS" process a lot better.

Do you think that bepe might be interested in releasing the sources for the current toolset (i.e. BuildOS, etc.), and/or do you think some of the ROM-Dev's would be keen on an OpenSource full - graphical-style project development process for a ROM Kitchen Toolkit ... ??? Just a thought I've been having ... :-)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Biohead:
@Tuatara: Please don't feel as though you have to be the one to try and get WM6. Personally (Again, its a personal thing so not everyone will agree), I'd be happy staying with WM5. I feel WM6 is really going to push the BA.

In general, these latest WM5 ROMs are of an entirely different breed of ROMs from the early WM5 ones (Remember them?). I'm just thankful they've gotten as quick as they currently are.

BTW: Pepsi anyday!!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
WM5 with AKU3.x+ has proven itself to be EXCELLENT. The speed improvements alone (with the Page Pool Patch and RamDisk Patch) have improved the Blue Angel (and most other devices) no end. WM6 is simply the "next step" in the evolution of this.

My first attempt will be to determine the dependancies which are preventing a WM6 port and/or to possibly make a "FrankenROM" with WM5 and WM6 elements (unstably?) cobbled together. It's more of an experimental research process - and while nothing may come of it, maybe it'll highlight some other improvements which could be made. Who knows?

We have a lot of people to thank for all their hard work in this ... without them, we'd still be 'rumbling' along ... potentially even using one of my old ROMs (aigh!).

Mmmm ... Beer ... my love for you will never die.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] baniaczek:
You will get a lot of problems, but ... you know. IMO the lack of documentation (nor WM5 nor WM6 Platform Builders) are critical. Discovering things created by MS programmers == the hell :(

TuMa1.4. The best one before AKUs.

Visiting Poland be invited.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
I know that feeling. I've just been dealing with the new crop of VBMacro bugs in Word 2007. Many hours have been wasted because of (accidentally) having the Selection point (i.e. cursor) inside a Range Object upon which the Macro is operating on. Simple answer ... move the cursor away ... run the Range operation ... then move it back. Bug fixed. Why does moving the cursor matter? Don't ask me ... Arrrgh!

Well ... TuMa1.3 was designed from the ground up to be very stable, and succeeded in that. I was very happy with that one. Unfortunately, TuMa1.4 was trying to push the absolute limits on everything (speed, compression, module merging/relocation, UPX'd exe's, buffer sizes, TrueFFS optimizations, etc.). I got pretty close, but there were just too many problems with how far I'd pushed things ... and in the end, I had to pull the plug on that one. But it's cool to see that some of the 'tricks' from it have been used in ROMs since.

Ok ... make mine a Żywiec (Light is fine too) ...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
About romediting: the roms for all devices are mainly devided in 2 OEM and SYS (yes even the xip) you can port everything created by microsoft (one more time, you can change every MS stuff in xip also) but OEM stuff (mostly drivers) are device specific and they can not be changed at all (of course if yo uhave their source and rewrite them you can change them to a new better ones) so this applyes to all devices, so there is possibility to runWM6 on BA if we have properly ported XIP (there is only one chance to do this, manual)

@Tuatara - i do not know if bepe will share hes source, you should ask him

.NET CF2 with this rom?

Hi explode, firstly this is a great rom - thanks to you and all involved!

I am a noob here, apologies if this question is answered elsewhere - I have searched a lot on this topic without much success.

Is it possible to create an OEM package for the .NET compact framework 2 (sp2) by simply following bepes instructions on this? I am looking for information on how this is done, it seems it is more complicated than just extracting the files and registry entries using Msceinf. For the CF1 package there are masses of (renamed?) files and registry entries and I can only see 1 registry entry for the NETCF2 cab ( HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\Installer\GACPath )

Any info or pointers much appreciated!

I am downloading the lazy release.

will be there any problem with my SX66? because my SX66 don't have camera.

once the update is complete, can we remove the camera app from there?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SandStorm:
Ok, lets see if is this:

1-> i remove the camera templates.cab from the extrom before upgrading

2-> i open the conf.txt and remove the line "CAB: \Storage Card\ExtROM\CameraTemplates.CAB", save the file, and upgrade the pda, using the steps in the tutorial.

it is this? is it enough to not load that camera file when be upgrade is done?

or do i have to remove more files to not have the camera menu?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Someone Walkin':
You are right Jakubd, it can't be changed as it's not a picture but a test signal from the device itself.

(Nice sig btw. :))
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Someone Walkin':
Does the extra software for the cam cause problems on boot install?

If it isn't, then it may be better just to delete the software/folder after the fact as opposed to running the risk of causing registry failure by extracting the software pre boot.. just a thought.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SandStorm:
I don't know, but since the phone don't have teh cam, why i should use it\have it there? :s

other option i have is to try the kitchen rom, but already downloaded this one.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SandStorm:
i found this:

then, maybe its only necessary for me to add the line "CAB: \Extended_ROM\SX66.CAB" to the CFG file, and of course, that cab in the extrom folder.

Now, i shall be able to upgrade the phone (i guess)

I know that cab worked for 2003 SE, so, probably it will work on WM5 too.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Someone Walkin':

I had the same prob, and it isn't an OS prob. try this:

1 Sync your device with you PC. ( so you don't loose all your contacts )

2 Locate and delete the file "pim.vol" on your device. (I think it's in the root or

"my device")

3 Then resync with your PC.

Hope it works for you also.
