Been away for awhile now, due to work and other stuff.

Tuatara and Xplode, I'm very happy to hear that a new rom and kitchen release will be coming soon. Eagerly waiting for it.

BTW, I've responded to 2 threads earlier that I suspect that the current kitchen seems to drain the battery faster than previous roms. I would like to emphasize that I'm suspecting, base on my experience and also others comments. Hope you can take a look at this too.

Cheers!

Any one tried using Micrsoft's latest WMDC 6.1 (Windows Mobile Device Centre), the equivalent of activesync that will only work with Vista?

I had been using WMDC 6.0 with Vista and so far so good. After I switched over to WMDC 6.1, I found that after the first sync where we are asked to setup the device, my IIs "Device ID" was changed to the format of "WINDOWSMOBILE??" where ?? represents digits.

Can anyone confirm if the same thing is happening at your end?

Thanks.

WMDC 6.1

zard. I confirm it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] saiweb:
I think it is something related to the BT Stack and WiFi. If I turn on BlueTooth, the battery is draining very fast and in few hours it goes to dead zero. Even if I turn on WiFi and keep it running for a while like 5 to 6 hours, the battery goes to zero, if I don't charge it while using. If I turn off BT or WiFi, battery drops by 4 to 5% in 5 to 6 hours leaving the power at 96 to 95%.

make sure the router runs in mixed or in 11 mbit mode, also i have not tryed baniaczek modified rom so i dont know if it has a bug with wifi, in my rom it works just fine in WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption and with wep encription (use them every day)

Sorry to ask but what is the registry setting to remove power service?

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
This are the registry entries for power service, but when you remove them you will remove the battery icon from icon tray

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"Dll"="Power_Service.dll"
"ShowIcon"=dword:1
"Description"="Power Service"
"DisplayName"="Power Service"
"Context"=dword:01
"Keep"=dword:01
"Order"=dword:08
"Index"=dword:06
"Prefix"="AP1"
"InitDelay"=dword:0

so you may want to change this key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1

if you change it to 0 the battery status will be displayed on the top bar in the place of the clock, and the clock will be displayed in the time-date today plugin

My router is an Netgear WGT624 v3. It is running in mixed mode and WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption.

If i use baniaczek rom it notifies me of the connection and i put the password and it connects ok. With your rom it notifies me of the connection. If i put the password it tells me its invalid. So i click in settings and manually try to edit the connection and put the password there, changing it to WPA-PSK TKIP. Then i try to connect it shows Connecting, then Available again...

With WEP or OPEN it connects fine.

Thanks!

WM5 + WM6 parts?

could this be true? can be done for BA also?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1346162
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
What about WPA-PSK with AES ecryption? My AP is using that, as it is deemed stronger, and is hardware-accelerated (AES).

I never managed to make my BA connect to the AP using AES encryption, and it seems to be supported (AES encryption) in about every router/AP, since wireless G came around.

BTW, it's a Linksys WRT300N running a modified firmware (Sveasoft Talisman 1.2.8) which add loads of features.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] srkain:
About the WPA-PSK with AES I don´t think the BA supports it.

I´m getting mad with this thing don´t connect to my router with your rom. And with the rom from baniaczek im getting no service in phone after I get a dead zone like an subway and after that the phone don´t pick the signal again.

I´ll try to cook your rom again with no addons and try again...

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
This should be working fine on the BA with xplode's ROM. I'm using a Linksys WAP54G Access Point, and using WPA-PSK/TKIP in mixed mode with non-boradcast SSID, everything works great.

This leads me to believe that there is something in the registry which is causing this issue. Did you do a HARD RESET and then reconfigure your device, or did you use a backup tool and restore sections of the registry (to save on configuration time)? If you restored registry entries, then your mileage will vary ...

WEP should always work - and you could just use that. While it is TRUE that it can be cracked, the time (and effort) required if you choose a GOOD encryption key is more than most people would want to waste time on. Don't use anything you could find in a dictionary ...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] srkain:
Thanks for the replys guys but I can´t connect yet.

I don´t have an registry backup. I even don´t have an SD card with me. I got an 4gb SDHC from Sandisk but the BA didn´t recognized.

I even tryed to turn off the 108mbits settings from the router and put it in only b mode but no luck either.

With the baniaczek rom it works right off the first HARD Reset. :P

But phone works more stable in Xplode´s rom.

There something I can do to import baniaczek wifi settings to this rom?

Thanks!

EDIT: I´m getting another problem here.

If my SX66 lose the signal it only finds the signal for 1 operator here in Brazil 72410 (VIVO). The operator id from Claro is 72405 and I only can reestablish the signal doing a soft-reset.

I found an fix on a brazilian forum but it is for the Cingular 8525 that is enable the Band tab in phone options and change the umts settings.

I tried that but the settings on the Band tab are blank...

Does anyone knows another fix?

Thanks!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Hmmm ... very, very strange ... what Radio Rom version are you using? 1.15? 1.13? ... ???

Ok ... that's actually a lot of help. Hopefully xplode or I'll get the chance to see what's different between the two ROMs in the next little while (registry/driver/config/etc.) and see if there is something.

Simple answer ... yeah ... Dump baniaczek's ROM, extract the Wifi settings & Driver, build the OEM package, resolve dependencies, and and then re-cook using xplode's kitchen. :-)

For a ROM cook this is readily possible, and if you're interested in doing this, then it would be a great learning opportunity (if maybe slightly time-consuming). Otherwise, hang on a bit, and I'll see what I can find, when I find some time ...

It could be that the UTMS Band Select Tab is not compatible with the BA settings, as the tab in xplode's ROM could be for the 'donor' device (I believe it's the Hermes, where the OS came from). Enabling this may not operate as it should.

Again, this may be something to check as to differences between the two ROM versions. Slight incompatibilities like this can (and do) occur. It's (next to) impossible to find them all when making a ROM.

It sounds like there is a Radio issue between the two ROMs, and probably taking a careful look at the differences will highlight where the issue lies ... hopefully some time will "free up" and we'll see what can be done.

I´m using version 1.15.

The wiki have infos on this right? I want to try it!

I only saw this fix searching for it on google. I got this error on WM2003 and now in any WM2005 rom. A woman here in Brazil got the same error on her 8525 and I will post here what they described on forum:

I have no ideia on what to do. I only saw that this worked to her...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
As far as i know the BA hardware is not UMTS compatible, so try to select the operator manually (it switches the bands autimatically)

Also about AES encryption in BA the problem is driver related, the driver can not handle better encryption than WPA PSK TKIP, I have searched in the past for WPA2 support and G speeds compatiblity, and I found that this is driver(maybe hardware) limitation
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] srkain:
Even in manual mode I only get the 72410 signal. To re-establish the signal I have to get out the battery, turn on the BA and perform a soft-reset... :confused:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Gurx:
I live in Brasil too (RJ) and have the same problem. Vivo network is causing this.

Our BlueAngels is trying to find our net but discovers Vivo first and stop searching!! Vivo uses 850Mhz band and Claro (and all the others carries) uses 1800Mhz, then Vivo is discovered first.

I see the same problem in others brands too, the Treo has the same problem, so Palm puts a fix on this site. Basically you forces your cell only to search in one freq, 1800Mhz, and not in the other.

You can try Band_tool.cab or BandSel_BAWWE_140921.sa.cab to solve this issue. This tools creates one more tab (in Phone configs) that enables you to select the band you whant to use.

Search here, in forum, or in the Xda ftp for these cabs.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] srkain:
Tried here but didn´t work. I think they are supposed to be used in WM2003. There is something like this working in WM05?

I´m pretty sure this will correct the bug caused by Vivo.

Thanks!

EDIT: I tried again after a Hard-Reset and I think it worked, but when I performed a soft-reset the phone didn´t turn on. If I try to bring on his settings I receive a message: A wireless radio must be attached to use the phone.

Maybe the incompatibility with WM05?

Hi all,

first - I love this ROM. I've been using it practically since the day Xplode posted the kitchen and have been very happy with it. I'm even more excited to hear that Tutara & Xplode are working on another ROM update - thanks guys!

I have a strange problem - I can't change the system time anymore. If I click on the "Clocks and Alarms" icon in system settings nothing happens. Has anyone come across this problem?

The white screen problem occours when the rom you cooked have no free space, or in a simpler way: you rom have too many things on it.

Try removing some programs and when you run build.bat, after it completes building, check the place where it says "free space".

Hi,

I have just upgraded my Blue Angel's (BA) ROM to the WM5 AKU3.5.2 R5 Rom Kitchen v2 last night, but start having issues already!

There are a couple of scenarios that I found the BA will hang at the startup screen when the Windows Mobile logo appears.

1. The first scenario was when I changed my battery. I turned off the screen, pull the battery out and replaced it. The BA hung!

2. I installed SPB Pocket Plus 3 and uses the embedded RESET function (icon) to restart the BA. Every single time I did it, the BA hung. (And I have tried more than 5 times. It really started to piss me off!)

The only solution that I can get back to the WM5 system was to give my BA a hard reset! The paid was to LOSE ALL the programs I have installed!

Has anyone experienced this before? What was wrong with it?! Did I do something ridiculously wrong or just another bug (a big one!) of the ROM? If it's a bug, anyone has a smarter way to get around it rather than hard resetting the BA before the fix comes out?

Many Thanks!

The free sector, I think, means free hdd space. The software talks in hardware language, so do not be surprised of not understanding.

For your ROM update, I would suggest you stick to the default setting from "BuildOS.exe" and follows the onscreen instruction. They are quick easy to follow.

yup, after i reflashed my 2s, i've noticed the difference as compared to a freshly reflashed 2s without the netcf2sp2 in rom. however, i found a problem with integrating the netcf2sp2 in rom, my program particularly the Pocket E-sword and easy tweak do not run. it says "not a valid win ce application". i tried to hardreset it for a few times but still the problem exists. it also cannot extract the spb backup file which was previously created on my previous rom (without netcf2sp2 integrated in the rom).

so i recooked my rom and removed the netcf2sp2 from the rom, i just placed the netcf2sp2 in the extrom to be installed after bootup.

hope someone can fix this.... i really loved the speed resultng from integration of netcf2sp2, but i dont want my programs to stop running on this rom....
