ActiveSync 4.5 Help

Hello

I have tried all I know and followed info on the web to get ActiveSync 4.5 to work with "Windows Mobile 5 AKU3.5 R4 by xplode".

All I get is "You device was not detected".

I'm using XP SP2 + T_Mobile MDA III. Everything worked perfectly with ActiveSync 3.8 and original BA_TMUK_14200_112_11300.

Does anybody have a foolproof way of getting AS 4.5 to work with WM5 AKU3.5 R4?

Thank you.

Vanilla Version

If you are starting this project would it possible to create a clean rom with no apps pre-installed? For me this is not a huge a problem but I just find using a vanilla rom allows people more flexibility to really customize their devices as they wish. I personally buy all my apps so a lot of the pre-installed apps are really useless.

BT issue: can receive files from my PC via BT without a problem. Sending files from BA to Laptop ALWAYS fails. This comes as no real surprise really......however with Helmi´s roms at least I could transfer files even though I had a 50 50 chance of success. But with this rom it ALWAYS fails
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] zard:
Xplode,

I thought R4 already included "Added .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP2"? Maybe I understood wrongly. Sorry!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] zard:
Vanilla rom is great but some apps do not have cab versions (or at least I could not find them)!

WM6 question

Xplode,

I understand that you said that you are working on another release of your rom. I just wanted to know if you are also working on a possible WM6 rom for the BA.

I noticed that you are actively posting on the WM6 rom discussion and that you seem to be the only one on that forum with the ability to create a WM6 rom.

Are you currently working on anything for WM6? Also, how will your new rom release compare to WM6 rom?

Thanks for all your hard work!!!

Thanks Xplode

after i install this rom why my ppc running so slow ???

i have install resco media , eWallet, audio notes

Thanks

:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
as i said before, this may not be my last rom, if there is something to improve, i have an idea to a vanilla version but still thinking on it. It will be without mms and camera (they will be available as cabs in the extrom of course) without comm manager (will bring back icons in tray for wifi and bluetooth) if i send mms and camera to extrom there will be enough space to add .NET CF 2 SP2 into rom

Hi some problem with R4

TODAY Screen cann't change background image from some tsk file. It return to crossbow background image. but some tsk like "windows mobile Green" it can change. I don't know Why?

How can I solve this problem?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
this rom uses the new theming system from wm6, which is the reason for not changing the background.The old tsk files use gif images for themes, the new ones use jpg. I will post workaround for getting the old theming back, or maybe a cab. Windows mobile green can be used without problem, WM6 Guava bubbles can do it also. Also only background can be changed from Pictures & Videos app.

Rebooting

Battery life is good as all the other roms. Only when you SR it seems to take quite a bit out of the battery life. Apart from that tel call and PDA usage is normal.

List Pro 4.1: with this app installed the system has very minor glitches, but most noticable is that the speed varies (but not a huge problem v minor worst case scenario speed is like Helmi's when you use list pro).

Hi all

where is IA Camera v 2.21 Build 20245 im want download only camera files in this version 20245
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ozmanic:
very strange..workin R4 from xplode WITHOUT any problems.fast and clean working.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
most of the problems were caused by bad sectors to the hard drive (i mean in previous roms). It is normal to have less bugs after above 50 compiles of the AKU 3.5 rom, and of course after pointing the bugs for resolving them
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] malkovich:
OK, so here's my 50 cents:

1) When I change the storage location for the camera to the SD card, I get the following message: "Unable to capture. Not enough memory. 36001:111:0" -- Since I only bought this unit a few days ago (and only because I knew I could flash it with Xplode's ROM :D), I don't know whether that's a bug or a feature :-). The SD card does have lots of free memory, of course, and I've been wondering if it may be too slow, which might at least be the case for video, however the same message appears for still images, and also the card is not particularly slow.

2) I would have to say that the WLAN works a little intermittently. Sometimes I'm unable to turn it back on, neither in the Comm Manager nor in the Wireless LAN settings, until I reset.

3) I do have some Active Sync problems, just like a few other esteemed colleagues reported ... It's working fine with "Missing Sync" on Mac OSX, but it's not recognized by AS 4.5 on Windows XP. I also tried turning off "Advanced Network functionality" in the "USB to PC" settings, in which case Windows starts recognizing it, but then the BA says it can't do USB with those settings (or words to that effect).

4) Finally a matter of taste: The new Icons in the camera app ARE nicer, however if your eyes are not so good (like mine -- it's why I need a 3.5 inch screen), they are slightly harder to distinguish than the old ones (in the R3 ROM).

Please understand that I don't want to complain, just trying to help. Overall, I'd say R4 works almost perfect -- THANK YOU !!

R4 timezone bug?

I think I must have the changed the timezone (to GMT+1) at least three times by now ... seems like it often reverts back to "Pacific"

I get this problem in both R3 & R4 Xplode rom, as well as Helmi's 1.4 Vanilla rom. If wifi is on, landscape mode, internet explorer open and with TenGO Thumb as input, it will hang my BA. If using normal keyboard as input won't hang. When BA hangs, after Soft Reset, alignment on screen will be out. Only way is to do re-alignment of screen again.

you have really strange problems, camera works fine on 3 difrend devices, even if i change the save location to be in sd card or ramdisk, About old camera i will post the old exe to replace it in your windows folder.

@rizortis wifi only disconnects when device goes to stanby, this is default setting, it may disconnect if you loose signal.About themes you can use WinCE Cab Manager to edit tsk files, just extract gif from it and convert the same to jpg

1. You didnt set "lock except power button"

2. Or you have BlueTooth active and then read (BT issue ->)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
kerio is right, there are 2 ways of powering on, pressing a button and if your bluetooth is on, it will power on your device
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] malkovich:
You're right, it IS weird ... I tried it with another card, and it works:confused:

The one that works is a 2GB card, the one that doesn't is 4GB. Both are the same brand (Patriot). So far the 4GB card has been working fine and it's _not_ SDHC as far as I know ... On the other hand it still has 2100MB free, I don't think I've ever used it beyond the 2GB mark. Should I try copying something to it that gets it over the 2GB, or is there some other test?

Has anyone tried using this R4 ROM with a 4GB card? Even with the camera maybe?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ct2gwj:
Yes I've set it "lock except power button"

And Bluetooth it's on, because of that issue of my callers can't ear my voice... and turning on BT solves this issue... (Old trick...)

So, since I need BT always on because of voice calls, what should I do?

Thank's guys for your replys!!

Hi guys, I have recently upgraded to the vanilla rom by baniaczek.

Just want to ask if it is possible for me to follow the same set of instruction to install xplode's lazy version.

Also, i have a noob question hope experts here can answer... what happens should i do a hard reset for my ba? (Upgraded to wm5 already) would it have any conflicts?

thanks in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] malkovich:
You need to change the partitioning of your persistent storage (disk on chip) first. Look here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi

Seems to be about Helmi's ROM but the instructions (starting mid-page under "Installation") will also work for Xplode's.

Also the overview won't hurt, and do follow some of the links there:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
Offtopic: I am really glad to see that there are still some people that first read and then ask :)

@all others, read wiki about rom upgrading and then ask questions

Hard reset is always needed if you upgrade to a difrend rom, if you upgrade from my R4 to the Lazy R4 you do not need hard reset, so if the changes in rom are minor between releases you may not do a hard reset

here are some of the steps for those who aren't lazy. the rest are in WIKI, so you have to do a bit of further reading. you should thoroughly read/understand the WIKI before trying this out. it is assumed you have also extracted the .rar file of xplode.

1) copy the GetDeviceData.exe from the extracted files (of xplode) to your BA

2) from your BA, use File Explorer to navigate to GetDeviceData.exe and click to run it.

3) there will be a corresponding DeviceData.txt that will result after you run the GetDeviceData.exe. it is found under the Windows directory of your BA. copy the DeviceData.txt to your PC so you can open and view it. for those who already upgraded before to a WM5 ROM, they get T%CID? as the value that is used in step # 8; but for those who haven't, they get a different value (check the WIKI)

4) Create a new folder on your C:\ drive - call it ROM and this is how it will look like

C:\ROM

5) copy and paste all the extracted files (i.e. NK.nbf, setoperator.bat, etc.) into this new folder you named ROM

6) start - run - type 'cmd' - Ok

7) type 'CD\'

8) type 'CD ROM\'

9) type 'SETOPERATOR T%CID?' then press enter

10) your NK.nbf file is now changed to your operator code

11) run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file

12) read the rest in WIKI

Thanks for this great ROM (V4). I installed it a couple of days ago without any problem. Then I went into the camera programm and selected photo, than video and the picture syles. My Qtek 9090 hang up and there was nothing I could do to bring it alive.

Some Suggestions

I Love The Rom. It seems stable works well as if I bought my SX66 that way. But I believe that if you keep the rom looking stock like helmis or others. It would be more appealing. Because when you go into programs the first thing you notice is 4 folders??? this is kinda weird because as far as I know you buy a new PPC and it does not look like this. Also the X-Button Application blows in my opinion. I tried to delete it but I forget that it is part of the rom. if possible stick it in ExtRom. I wonder if it would be possible to create a very Basic Barebones Rom for the BA. Just asking... :) I would just love to see a rom from someone that looks like you went to the store bought it. Basic, with all updates patches. Make most of the space on the rom but also nothing extra that should be manually installed or part of ExtRom. Thanks for hearing me out.
