Firstly it is not possible to increase the storage beyond 30MB.

But, I have never faced any shortage of storage space at all. After installing heavy progs like spb weather, spb diary, resco explorer, phatpad, spb photo viewer and many others on RAMDisk of my device I still have abt 14MB of storage spare.

more to my woes... :(

I have indeed experienced the prob getting to flight mode with 1.19... think I too will be downgrading the Radio, thanks for the info...

Apparently it seems like its not a prob with VISTA... i tried to flash my device, so went into the bootloader mode... since then I am unable to sync the device itself, does not seem to be connecting at all, any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks and Regards...

hey guys

whats up guys

i havebeen away for a while

i flashed this ROM, been using it for a few days now, so far no problems.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] daWidoW:
I just installed this ROM in the afternoon... seems like i have a whole lot of trouble... the previous 3.5a seemed to be better... :-(

and my battery seems to be acting really wild!!!, earlier it would shutdown at 20% and again get alive... now my phone shuts down at 40%! anything i could do abt that? I do knw that its old and all... still... any suggestions?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] xmaxx:
Old Hima batteries have weird character flaws :) the only solution really is LUCK

back up all your stuff ( and i do mean REALLY backup)

format your SD

dump nothing but the ExtROM on it.

Reflash ROM

Pray

if it works, it works, else, live with it. this is the only possible solution. even if you go back to the old 3.5, there is no guarantee that the batt will not be weird.

n00b sorta q

mr c-shekar,

i am trying to no avail to run flash files on my ppc. i installed the Adobe Flash player 7 for ppc on it, it installed fine, but then it just dissappears. the flash ext doesnt get associated with it either. There is a Macromedia subdir made in the Windows dir, but it shows empty. /windows/system/ also has no trace of the executable. would you have any idea where this thing gets installed?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] c_shekhar:
ver 3.50c has many improvements including better stabilty. I suggest that you reflash the ROM once again by following the procedure mentioned in the readme files. I hope you shall enjoy it.

As far as battery is concerned it is for sure that the batteries have worn out. They need to be replaced. There are threads on this forum which have deliberated a lot on this issue and finally reached this conclusion. Kindly go through them..

Just the basic rom features and standard programas and colors, only adding the fixes and corrections you provide in your rom?

found glitch

cs

i found a glitch in this ROM, everytime i remove the battery the RAMDISK gets wiped. even if i dont use that RAM DISK reset switch.

so have to be very careful about not letting the battery go down to zero either. cause same thing happens

One other thing i noticed, in all of your ROMs, i always had a persistent volume button problem. on each reset, the volume button would automatically keep getting pressed UP until i physically pressed it down and clicked on the vol meter on the Today screen.

in this new one, this problem has been magnified. Now it just doesnt do that only at each reset, but does it suddenly just out of the blue, anytime.

i chalked it up for a long time to the fact, that ok, my vol button is messed up. But then i flashed it recently with Helmi's SP2 ROM and that anooyance has just totally dissappeared. i even reset the peice multiple times to see if it was just a fluke thing, but it actually works. there is no volume button problem any more

just FYI

Battery vs Ramdisk:

I too have encountered this problem. Even the Time resets to factory default. But it is not the ROM related issue. I have two batteries and while replacing the rundown battery with the fully charged one something happens. I guess shorting or mishandling of the connecting pins are the root cause of it. Now, since the the I have started removing the vattery a bit more carefully I dont enclunter this prob.

Volume button-Issue:

I indeed is a very strange prob you have encountered! No body else has ever reported such prolem, though my ROMs are in use since more than a year now. Not even me have this issue, I am surprised. Let us have some more observations on this...

Infrared remote

Dearc_sheckhar

I have a question. Did you try to send or receive file by infrared ?

Because I try NoviiRemote Deluxe and I can't use it, to send or learning button.

Could you tell me how to fix it.

Thank you
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] c_shekhar:
For upgrading the radio kindly put the radio_.nbf of your chosen version in the folder where HimaUpgradeUt.exe is avilable.

2. Bring the xda-2 to bootloader mode.

3. run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe

You have to follow exactly the same procedure for upgrading the radio as you had adopted for upgrading the ROM.

The best way is to add the radio_nbf into the folder where nk.nbk is existing. Anf, run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe. It shall upgrade both.

A godsend for a faulty phone

Greetings All,

CS, I think you from the ends of the Earth for the wonderful work that you have shared with the people here in building the WM5 ROM for the Himalaya.

I bought my XDAii about 2 years ago, and it didn't take long before I thought that I had bought a lemon. I can't remember a single week going by that I didn't have to do a complete re-install of all the programs to this device from a crash. In the end, I was running Sprite Backup and backing up at least once a day so that I would have a reasonably recent file to restore from, but this was too frustrating and in the end I put the phone back into the box and decided to sell it.

That was about 12 months ago now, and I'm glad that I didn't get around to selling it because after finding this website, downloading and installing your ROM, I could not be happier with the phone.

I've been using the new ROM for about a month now and not a single problem. I have tried several versions of your ROM's and decided to come back to the 'B' version and a downgraded Radio to 1.17.

The speed increase from the standard 2003SE version of Windows is simply stunning and the phones new-found stability stands alone as a reason to keep it.

No complaints here and I again thank you for all you work and continual support of those wanting to use your creation. I have read each and every post on these 70+ pages and you have had your hands full trying to keep everyone happy. I applaud your willingness to continue and release the 'C' version even though you said that you were done with this project.

To those that don't like the work that has been done here. The door is over there and don't let it hit you in the arse as you leave this happy place. There are plenty of empty ROM's out there and I'm sure that you can find one with a simple look on Google or head to http://buzzdev.net/

Thanks again CS

Regards

Delta

Screenrotate question

CS, quick question.

I know you can rotate the screen using the systray icon for screenrotate, but i have that disabled the tray default because it takes up too much space.

Using wisbar advance's method of screen rotating (wm2003only) leaves my XDA all jumbled when slide2unlock is running. Screenrotate's the only thing that works properly.

So my question is, how can i create a regular shortcut (that i can store in the start menu or as a button in claunch) that when pressed, will auto-rotate the screen to your desired orientation (basically what the systray icon does)?

BTW, continued congrats from me on this ROM. It hasn't let me down yet. Still running as good as the day i installed it. Only reason i can see for upgrading to a new one is if you rebuilt this with the Widcomm bluetooth stack. Kudos CS.

something need to correct

Dear c_shekhar,

Many thanks for your rom 3.5c.40CS. it is very nice, however i found some mistake need to be corrected as follow:

- Speaker phone button on call does not work

- Can not update contact when add new number (Nokia phone can). whenever we add new contact, PPC never ask to update or add new.

- When save new number from call history, PPC always auto add to office phone, not mobile phone

i think if we can add and correct these functions then your rom will be surely much nicer.

Thanks

Afraid for ROM update

Hey guys,

I think I can call myself a NOOB :confused: regarding flashing ROMS.

I have an I-mate Pocket PC (as I found on the forum it is the equivalent of the Himalaya) and the ROM update in this topic should transfer my WM2003 to a WM2005. I want to upgrade to run some programs that need SNAPI, which is only integrated from WM2005.

My biggest concern at the moment is that the ROM update goes wrong and that I can throw away my phone (and new phones are expensive)

Can someone help me with the following questions.....

1. Is this the correct upgrade for my phone?

2. Can I make some kind of recovery ROM backup for my device

3. Can someone talk me through the different steps (sort of tutorial), maybe with some screenshots

Thanks very much in advance....

Any chance of CABs for all the ROM features?

Hey C_Shekhar

Just upgraded to WM6 (Helmi's TofClock ROM) but i wanna keep a few things from this ROM (specifically, the Blue_White KB Skin, Flight Mode, Photo Dialler (that cool speed dial thingy on today screen with photos of contacts), Select All contacts and delete selected (More than one) contacts in the option, WM5 newMenu, Contact backup, and SMS backup).

Is there any way i could get a copy of the cabs for all these? I've redownloaded the ROM to try and extract em but TBH i wouldn't know where to start.

BTW, the above list is from your feature list on the first page of this thread.

Thanks.

EDIT: Found the keyboard skins, wm5newmenu and softkeyapp on buzzdev.net (download section), found the contacts backup app here and i'm still looking for the rest.
