Faria (and others)

I'm not an active poster on this forum; but read a lot and use the roms you cook.

The problem with forums is that they are interactive and everyone can make his statement fairly anonimously... Myself i'm an administrator of an forum for convertible cars in the netherlands; much like this forum... and i know by experience that it takes a lot of effort to guide the visitors along the right path (read: the civilised) path... every once and a while there is someone who's nasty.

Bottom line: Very much appreciate your roms; and for me they are working like a charm...

And everyone who is messing up the threads with critisism about the cookers or anything: please take in mind that it takes a lot of effort to cook this; and they are doing it for us... they aren't going to be rich (maybe a little bit of famous ;) )... so please be polite... it isn't going to do you or us any good; and doesn't help

thanxx.

This ROM is a keeper. Well until the next one!

Great ROM. Can't find any problems. Well just one. I searched for ages looking for "Today Agenda". Should have read the change log first!

I use my wizard as a phone, to hold all my appointments and for TomTom Navigator V6. It is fast, very stable and perfect for my needs.

Well done Faria and all who worked on this great ROM.

p.s. Just ignore the idiots!

Great experience so far

Have been using this ROM for a few days, the 8MB version.

I don't have almost nothing extra installed, and am using exchange to for syncing. I am overclocking the device to 247Mhz just because I can. I think this is the first ROM I don't really need overclocking except for specific applications.

I don't have any issues regarding syncing with Activesync, but I do have the memory leak. The way I learned to live with it is to soft reset the device every morning before I go to work.

Faria, keep up the good work, I for one appreciate it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamejester:
Thanks for another great ROM.

These threads grow very quickly and if you are away for a day or new to a thread important info gets lost, it would be good to have a wiki for comunicating import info to users and report re-producable issues to faria, so I have collated all the info from this thread thus far and created one.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=faria_3_3

If we all keep this upto date it will be a lot easier to comunicate any real problems back to Faria and enlighten new users of issues already covered.

Anyone can update the wiki, so go ahead.

Note the Wiki states at the top up to which page in the thread the info has been collated to. So if you add to it with new info from this thread please update the pointer.

The Wiki has been split into current issues, fixed issues and none reproducible or isolated issues. Questions should be moved to the appropriate section when their status changes. Feel free to add any other sections we can all benefit from.

Added a working apps sestion to the bottom as people have mentioned that some apps have trouble running on AKU 3.x roms.

First, the technical issue: XnView is a great little program and I am glad to have it as part of the ROM. Unfortunately the options don't seem to work correctly. On a 2.26 IPL/SPL and a fresh ROM install with no customizations or software you can not change the default folder location that XnView looks at on startup. It defaults to \My Documents\ and although you can go through the motions of changing it, it doesn't actually change.

Second, is there a reason that many cooks don't make the installed apps show up in the Remove Programs list? I think this issue could be easily solved by an uninstall/reinstall.

Faria, unfortunately you are discovering that no matter what you do to contribute, someone will complain. Unfortunately you simply can not get away from that using this faceless medium. People will say things just because they know you will never see them face to face. And you are right, they are content to take and take without ever giving anything back. But that is a fact we have to deal with. Pay them the attention they are due (none) and brush it off. Just keep in mind there are many of us who appreciate your (and others) commitment to this platform and your willingness to share the fruits of your knowledge and time. Thank you.

Guys

I probably have missed something and this is already handled elsewhere but here gos anyway.

Can we have the first post aas a sticky with all bugs and fixes listed straigh after.

it seems that folk are loading the rom and posting the smae issues again and again.

I have had a problem with the clock being covered ( as others have) and the cure was quick and simple.

If all these were listed on first post then we would have less traffic.

Phone item in Start Menu

Yeah, I didn't want it in the Start Menu but I couldn't get rid of it.

Why

would

Phone need to be in the Start Menu? You can

always

hit the Start button and bring it up, so . . . of what value is it to have it in the Start Menu?

Restoring Contacts properly

My understanding is that PIM data is in a different format in all 3+AKU's - so you can't restore from 2+AKU data.

Just do an ActiveSync to back it all up, then sync again after installing the new ROM!

I would still be grateful if someone can still give me a couple of pointers in using the player and also some links to visit. I'm currently using GSPlayer and it works fine, but i would like to know how to use the streaming media player. Thanks in advance guys, and once again thanks faria for the awesome rom. i'm loving it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] prestonmcafee:
Thanks!

This is a really good idea and I added programs that are working for me. I don't seem to have any of the problems listed so can't help there.

I have found several easter eggs in this ROM. I was already a fan of Battery Status, TodayAgenda, wm5NewMenu and Smartskey (as well as the now missing TodayAgenda, which I prefer to PHM Traylaunch) but had never used, or even heard of in some instances: Mobile Secretary, PocketRar, XNPocket, Core player, or Live Search. What these d and how to use them might me a worthy addition to the wiki.

Am I right that these programs reside in extended memory? I couldn't overwrite the smartskey.ini, finally had to open it with Total Commander and edit it in order to put my settings. How to access these programs properly might also make a worthy addition to the wiki.

And of course: if you don't see the programs after installing the ROM, it is because you didn't unlock properly.

Thanks again!

Are you CID unlocked?

Sounds like you haven't CID unlocked your device. Sim unlocking is different than CID unlocking. In order to flash ROMs that are not from your carrier you must be CID unlocked

You're right, the fix is there.

Do you have thoughts on the purpose or value of having Phone in the Start Menu in the first place? (That was the main point I was trying to make)

Perhaps Faria can put a link to the wiki in his first post and people can update that with info that all will find useful.

Good idea, any experienced users of any of the apps added to this ROM please post a little guide in the Wiki, I for one have been introduced to some cool additional apps with this ROM and there may be more that I am missing a trick on!

A question regarding the page file.

This ROM writes a page file to the SD card right?

So what is is called and where abouts does it go?

I cannot see a file on my card like pagefile.sys anywhere using either explorer from PC or Total commander.

Also, how do I view the extended ROM using Total Commander?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmbneaf:
I too had this problem too.

DISCLAIMER: I have tried to describe in detail what I did here. Read and re-read the instructions carefully before attempting this. I will not be responsible for lost or deleted calendar items.

I fixed exchange server sync with calendar items by doing the following:

1st

Connect and Sync with MS Active Sync (I used version 4.2, should work others as well).

2nd

Move your Calendar items from Exchange to you desktop machine (you're probably already here; but, if not do so). Tools>options> in the menus. Click sync so that both your Wizard and MS Active Sync are now fully synchronized

3rd

Create backup folder in MS outlook (on your desktop machine). Make a full back up calendar/copy folder of ALL of your calendar item in MS Outlook on your desktop machine (WARNING: >> you'll need this later & be dang sure you have backed all calendar items up<<)

4th

Gulp. Delete all Calendar items while your wizard is attached (you did do step #3 right? if not your crying now). Verify nothing is in your MS Outlook standard calendar and on your wizard. Blank, nodda, nothing.

5th

Disconnect your wizard, bare with no calendar items (does it feel naked yet?)

6th

While in MS Outlook (on your desktop) Copy your backed up calendar items back to the standard folder (you'll get a ton of missed meetings etc, just dismiss them all).

7th

Reconnect your wizard (yeah it will sync them to your desktop again - that's ok & will help step #8 go faster).

8th

Now via Tools>options move your calendar items back to the exchange server and sync again

This should do the trick. Worked for me.

I have tried to describe in detail what I did here. Read and re-read the instructions carefully before attempting this. I will not be responsible for lost or deleted calendar items. Basically you're fooling MS AS and the Wizard that you just added all new calendar items and re-formated them for the device.

"Beta"

This ROM looks great and a significant improvement over v1. Kudos to all the guys who worked on v1 and thanks to Faria for all of the work in bringing v2 to the community.

I really love the collaborations shown above. People helping each other to solve their issues is exactly what should be in these threads.

My question is a simple one. Faria, you state in the first post that this ROM is a beta. I know you've said that you'll be withdrawing yourself from the Wizard forums soon (I have read all the posts in this thread and got up to page 53 in the v1 thread) so..... will there be a final version?

Two things I notice.

1. The Rintone Manager in the Acessories don't really work well when you want to add mp3's song to your ring tone cause when I tried it, it seems to add to the main memory, cause I get memory is low when I add songs from my memory card which is in mp3's formats. So I tried mRing which is another ringtone kinda manager which works much better without increasing storage on the mainmemory and no error message.?

2. Dunno if it's this rom or pocketbreeze problem when I delete the sms on pocketbreeze and when I reboot it's back there again. I'm guessing the sms is store on the sim card itself, does anyone know how to permanently remove it from the sim card?

Thanxs for reading this post, excellent forum,and people.

3 days use and rock solid (8mb PP)

Once again, compliments to the chef(s).

3 days straight or normal use which includes lots of A2DP audio, pocket Outlook stuff, Windows live messaging and mail, Windows media sync'ing, MS Voice Command 1.6 over BT, Internet sharing use over both BT and USB to three different PC's.

3 days, no soft resets, no instabilities noted on my G3, other than a minor reg tweak to get A2DP in stereo and some monkeying around with BatteryStatus to get my overclocking where I wanted it, this has been a rock solid A#1 product.

I wish the carriers did this well with their ROMS, but then we wouldn't be having all this fun would we :-)

having a problem in Faria Mobile 5 AKU 3.3 ver 1... is it a known issue or just me

Hello all

I will be upgrading asap but a quick question on the ver 1 found in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=290155

Im having a problem in Faria Mobile 5 AKU 3.3 ver 1... is it a known issue or just me?

First of all thank for all the great work and support many here are providing and doing it for free (think that is a highly unappreciated fact)

Now for the issue (you knew that was coming)

Flashed Faria Mobile 5 AKU 3.3 OS Rom… no problems found at first

But just ran in to my first problem….

After the flash if I plug in the head set… the external speaker still plays?!

…I can not for the life of me find a setting that will play only via the plugged in head set?!

I listen to radio via the internet … in the past if I used the jack for the ear set this would mute the phones external speaker(as it should) so I could listen in private

It seem trival but it a real killer….I do Cisco router tech support in 12 hr shifts right now and I love being to able to internet radio while I’m working without disturbing other… now I’ve lost that.. and I’m bummed

OK for the base line I have a US T Mobile MDA (wiza200)….that I’ve been as stock/locked 2.6 T Mobile rom… no problem

Per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435

Did the unlock (downgrade to button 1.5/ hard boot/run lokiwiz02b U. Unlock, reboot, C. CID Unlock/ hard boot/ rerun button 1.5 to clear the SPL 2.6 still/ hard boot…then after all stable at 1.5… flashed T-Mobile 2.26 ROM again for a “strong 2.26 IPL and SPL to work with”/ hard boot/ then flashed Faria Mobile 5 AKU 3.3 OS Rom ver 1… / hard boot…also flashed radio rom 2.47.11)

All went well, running great, stable, …

Show:

2.26 IPL and SPL

OS 5.1.461 (build 15671FARIA.3.5)

ROM VER 3.3.9.9.WWE DATE 11/10/06

PROTOCOL 4.1.13.24 EXROM faria v4.0

Again thanks for the support and hoping to geting up to speed on this cool little box

(my first computer was a PDP 8 with a Teletype interface... hacking the box is more then 2nt nature...it a job requirement):D

O dam me!... If Id bother to read the last line of the first post of this thread Id have the answer to my question...never mind( as I slink out with egg on my face)

Ringtone Manger

" So my do you not do the easy thing and make a folder 'My Documents' and put the mps in there and it will be in the list!!!! Its easy and works! "

Actually I do have my mp3's in my storage card in My Music document. It's just that when I open up Ringtone Manger and mark them to add to ringtone in wm5 seems to add the mp3's to main memory for some reason I get memory is low when I check them and go okay.? and I don't want to put my mp3's on my main memory to make it a ringtone just to make sure you understand this.

Other then that, the ROM is solid fast and awesome, dunno why people think the WM6 is faster ..I have wm6 on my g.f phone and it doesn't come close to as fast as faria's & co rom V2. WM6 seems to slow down after awhile when you click on the start menu and other stuff, at first it quite fast. Faria & co rom is solid fast even after I install lots of programs and haha, my main memory only has like 1.7mb free now and still run crazy fast...Nice work, Faria and the great people on this forum that made it what it is now. You guys should be proud of yourself. And for people complaining about this and that, and requesting fix. like Faria said it's s developer's forum, so it's okay to post the problems, and see if we can all figure it out, but dont' expect them to do it, it's a free open source not a paid service. State your problem with details and your setting then your question can be answer quickly or at least it will help you better. Thanxs again, great forum.
