To anyone searching for similiar info:

I was able to load the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable Package using the following link on microsoft.com:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1343D537-A62F-4A6E-9727-7791BF4CC2BD&displaylang=en

Using Activesync this package successfully loaded with the A17 ROM.

For info - I had to load the .Net Compact Framework to use the ACBTASKMAN program. In addition to tracking processes, cpu etc. this package incorporates the battery consumption utility to graph battery drain depending on certain processes or things like wireless activity.

Any FWIW!

Check Resco Forum, I filed a bug for the latest version because of that. (Version 5 doesn't have this problem)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
Thanks for that.

Seems weird that I also see it in WMP.

Don't see how Resco could be effecting that.

:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
I took a look a the Resco forum and it looks like the real culprit is Softick's Card Export II v3.03. That would make more sense considering I was seeing the problem in WMP as well as Resco Explorer.

Softick confirms they've received bug reports and are working on a fix.

Also, makuu over at aximsite has further modified football's A17.

The dialog box centering is built into the ROM as well as SDHC support.

Discussion and download links can be found here.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blast0id:
problems...

I don't know what it is... but I made a backup of PIM data only with SPB Backup 1.6.2 and then loaded this ROM. after restoring PIM data (from A12) ONLY after freshly booting this ROM when I open calendar I receive a "this program has encountered an unexpected error" and then closes the calendar app. I am going to try loading A12 back onto axim then restoring PIM data then syncing with outlook so the data is in outlook on computer then reflashing with this ROM and syncing instead of using PIM data backup to restore calendar and see what happens...

edit: actually going to try the M17 since it has SDHC support (w00t!)

Yeah I learned that the hard way it appears that AKU 3.5.2 uses a different .vol structure than A12.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pcguymy:
Just to inform you guys that I have updated to Makuu's M17 ROM and it works fine with the notification window centered and also great SDHC support. FYI, I am now using AData's 4 GB Class 2 SDHC card and have transferred all my programs previously installed on my Kingston 2GB SD Card to this 4 GB card and everything works flawlessly ! Thanks Makuu for the great work !!

Hard reset after A17 upgrade!!!

I have been using he A17 for a month now, is it safe to perform a hard reset? Or is there something special I should do?

I have not did one since the upgrade.

I dont want to do a hard reset and loose something valuable. Should I reflash again?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rugedbc:
a17 hard reset

I used the a17 before the wm6 a01 rom came out.

I did many hard resets without problems! Also, I wouldn'r reflash unless you have already done a hard reset. It may not be necessary, but i tend to be overly cautious with these things.

good luck!:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [AFX]:
i did a hard reset and it went well. still stayed at the a17 if that is what you are wondering.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
Softick has released Card Export 3.04 and it does indeed take care of the file refresh problems I was having.

Resco and WMP are now behaving properly.

It worked out perfectly. Everything went smooth.

RAM Upgrade with new this AKU.

I flashed my x51v with this new AKU some time ago. I love what it did to my PDa. But I wont restate what has been said over and over.

However, I'm interested in getting the RAM upgrade from 64mb to 128mb. Will this AKU have any problems reading the 128mb chip? Will the PPC Tech do the upgrade with the AKU installed? Is there any one here who has the best of both worlds, this AKU and the 128mb upgrade?

Thanks in advance!!

hi guys im new to this but i have a dell axim 51v with WM5 and want to update it to WM6 i have downloaded the rar files DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM6_A06ENprobAp.rar i understand these files must be extracted to an SD card fat23 format which ive done.. am i missing something ? can anyone help me on this ? :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] djlenoir:
First, you are correct so far in what you have done. The next step is to hold the power+wifi buttons in while pushing the reset button on the back for a couple seconds...then let go of the reset button (still hold the other two) and you will go into the bootloader. Simply press the button the dpad a couple of times to find and confirm the image you want to install to ROM and you are on your way.

With that said, this is an older ROM, and newer WM6.1 ROMs are available that I suggest you use instead. You have more than one option even. Search for threads by Makuu or LennySh.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
No, you can't since you need a VGA device. Football's ROM is for x51v only.

Just keep in mind that it will be a while. I read about his progress at 4PDA, and seems like WM6 at this time is way too difficult for Football to port, practically everything he tried is not working. Besides he still has to get the CF card to work in his AKU 3.5, which he is currently working on. But, yeah, i'm sure he will get WM6 eventually on Dell Axim.:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wl08:
Amazing!

Good Job!

Tested on my x51V, works geat(I don't have CF card).

But white screen once when I put in the cradle, same as A12, random white screen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Latty:
i'm looking forward to installing this once a CF fix comes out

An idea...

I've been looking at the ROM files and noticed that pcmcia.dll is not dated with the same date as the rest of the files in the ROM, which made me wonder if this files has been signed as all WM5 files need to be??? :confused:

Also, the sizes of pcmcia.dll are different across the 3 images (OEM A12) and A17 & A17BETA.. I've not really got the skills or the time to make myself a new ROM and aren't sure if Football has already tried this or what.. just something I've noticed and thought I'd ask.

Beyond that the A17 is fantastic, much snappier and nicer to play with. I really like the new system "beep" noice :cool:

P.S. I wonder if this is the A17 version.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
This is the A17 version BUT modified from the previous version where the compact flash drive did not work. On this version this has been corrected and all works fine. I have both SD and CF in my device and using both of them now with the latest version.

hi,

but where is crc file?

or i can use crc from prevoius version?

and other fixes are also integrated? vgakey atc...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
The CRC file is included within the zip/rar file you download. There was no mention of the other fixes been put into this rom and I have therefore just reapplied them to the PDA once I had installed the updated A17 rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] duuri:
i mean here is no crc file http://gtech.files-upload.com/349605...tched.rar.html
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deceiver:
Is this english? Filename says RUS and what about the CRC file? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
Guys, this is the ENGLISH A17 Rom, 100% guaranteed. The file I have linked you to is a zip file, within that is the ROM and the CRC.

If people are not happy about this or seem to be making a big issue over the CRC then I will take the link down, I only did it to make things easier for people, and now I seem to be getting him with messages about the CRC.

If you dont wish to experiment with these types of ROMs, then you should stick with the device exactly as Dell intended.

Sorry to sound a bit harsh, but since I posted the link, I have been getting a bit of hassle form some guys.

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
Please keep the link up at least until tomorrow as I very much wish to try it out but my work webserver will not let me access the link so I have to wait until I can get outside at home to download. Sorry about the hassles. I for one, appreciate all your efforts to make this usable.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
Hey no problem, will leave it as long as people want, and no need to be sorry ;-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deceiver:
Sorry gtech but the image you posted above its the wrong file. Your file is dated about 15days ago and its the russian R01 version.

Speed?

So has anyone actually checked the reported increase in responsiveness? I am sure a fresh system will seem much faster than one full of stuff. Any benchmarks with clean A12 and A17 systems?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] writer:
WM6 coming around the corner anytime soon?!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alexnvidia:
Flashed and everything work out fine for me! system is very responsive, icons are just beautiful. thanks to the developers of this ROM. you guys did a GREAT job! your work is definately appreciated, aximsite admins are just too arrogant or conservative regarding your effort. we should all look forward, not backwards and stay in stone age. if WM5 aku2.3.1 is totally usable, why do you think MS release aku3 or even wm6? my axim is ready for the future. theirs will be in the stone age. keep up the good work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
I actually did a clean install on A12 (how my device came from Dell), then did the A17 and as everyone is commenting, the system is as different as chalk and cheese, far faster, more responsive on the menu's and looks superb.

This isn't just a "Cosmetic" fix, its a very very worthwhile upgrade, I for one am extremely happy with it, and look out with eager anticipation the release of A18 :-)

And yes it would seem that Aximsite Admins have their heads stuck up their rear ends.....closing a discussion on Roms....Comon guys WAKE UP.... DELL Dumped us in the brown stuff so what are we supposed to do.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lemark:
Hmm, rapidshare simply sucks. I'd appreciate if anyone bother to upload it to someother site.

Having problems loading the image.

Copied the two files from the rar file to a FAT32 SD card.

Reset, power and wireless combo done and I have got into the SD Image Update A10_G4 screen. Nothing then happens, I am sure the problem is something obvious. Do I need a boot loader on the card aswell? If so, where do I get it from?

Also, if I do get it working, can I go back to A12 if I need to?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
I had a similar issue when I first used a 4Gig SD Card. Got a 256Mb Card formatted it to FAT32 copied the two files over and worked perfect.

If you have another card, format it first then copy the files over and give that a try.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lemark:
Thanks again man :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
Two quick questions. Is there any difference in the two postings of the modified ROM? and has anyone had any problems with the usual 3rd party applications not wanting to run on the update?

does anyone realize that A2DP doesnt work as expected? audio dont seem to transmit properly. any tips guys?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jimmy870:
First off, I would like to thank Football and Makuu for their excellent work.

If it wasn't for people like you, we would all still be in the stone age.

As soon as I saw the new version of the A17 Rom, I had to try it.

I had a 4gb SD card full of programs, just copied the two files to the root, rebooted using wifi+power+reset and everything went fine.

Loved the new look but I can't tell if there is a true performance difference with day to day use.

Tried everything I could think of (including a2dp) and so far no problems at all.

Cf works fine Bluetooth, wifi, everything.

Great job.

Beyond knowhow you had the insentive to go ahead and do what Dell wouldn't just because there was a need.

You have a bright future ahead of you. My thanks for all your trouble.

Take care and best wishes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] garybeaman:
Tried a different SD card and the update installed successfully. Anybody know where I can find the latest version of transcriber, tried one called WM VI Black Transcriber but it doesn't work, missing startup screen and menu corruption. Does mobile office 2007 work with this version?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
One last question. What is the free memory like after the update? I am always running out of program memory (running apps) and wonder how things change memory wise.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rumble291:
Does this work with X51 mid??!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
oK. I decided to give it a try. I get a screen saying SD Image Update a_10_G3 at the top and a white screen with the name of the .nbo file highlighted in black but nothing happens. Should I get more than this or do I need to wait this out? I am using a 256meg SD card formated fat32.

Never mind. Found out that I needed to push the action key to make things happen. Updating now. We shall see.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Latty:
press the action key
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
Thanks Latty. Finally did that and all installed perfectly with no problems. One question however, how do I install the 3 .reg registry updates? Do I need a program or just drop into the registry?

A few problems with my install

After installing Resco 2007 and the Core Player I tried to play an avi file. I click on the file in resco, the core player opens and i then get a no CF card error message. If I point the core player to the file on the CF card it plays fine.

Also I cannot connect to my WPA protected wifi network which I was able to do before the upgrade.

Any one else run into similar issues and found a solution.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tyborg:
I haven't had any problems connecting to my WPA protected network after the upgrade.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
Been running the A17 for a while now with a lot of 3rd party apps installed. All works fine but don't think there is much increase in speed once the system is loaded up but seems stable and icons and new sounds are nice. Don't see any real new functionality but glad I did it.

Guess I need to amend this as the web explorer application now has a "high resolution" option which gives much better graphic rendering. Nothing else different so far. Have not tried to connect to bluetooth headsets so can't comment on that but can sync via BT to my desktop with no problems.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sjorge:
Same here it works but I get like 3 sec of audio... nothing for a while again afew seconds of audio... any idea?

I used to have the Widcomm hack on before upgrading...

First there was a little tool to bump down the transfure rate for every bt service and that worked.

Later there came a hack to bump down the rate only for Stereo headsets

Could this be a simular problem... its sounds (pun not intended) simumlar.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jimmy870:
I've heard of this problem even without the rom update, I suggest you look elsewere first "various threads for a2dp" for the solution or try reinstalling relevant a2dp drivers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Hue Jorgen:
Wi-fi issue resolved.

I was able to pair up a bluetooth headset but it shows no options for connecting so I can listen to music and videos through it like I did before the upgrade.

I also cannot get files with AC3 sound to play even though I installed both TCPMP and The Core Player which are both supposed to have ac3 support built in, any thoughs anyone?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tyborg:
Coreplayer does not support AC3 files and TCPMP only supports it with the plugin installed. It is available on the web with a little searching
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sjorge:
Got it working by doing:

turn on bt, pair with headset

turn off bt, soft-reset

turn on bt, turn on headset, wait till WM5 find it and auto-connect

then it works, if you force the connection it doesn't... odd but it works fine if I do that... well just let it auto-connect from then on :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alexnvidia:
my way of getting it to work is by installing widcomm hack from aximsite. although widcomm driver is good, it uses up alot of memory. is there a better way to get the stack driver to work? isn't AKU3.5.2's A2DP driver supposed to be very much improved over AKU2.3?

Thanks Tyborg.

I also took the advise of another poster here and installed the widcomm bluetooth stack, earpieces work great now. sJorge I never did get it to work using your method.

So as of now everything is working as normal except for the error I get with the CF card. If I try to launch a media file from within resco file explorer the core player launches but I get a "file not found /CF" pop up window error. This did not happen on the A12 rom. If I open the core player and point it to the file on the CF card it plays fine.

Anyone getting errors like this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sjorge:
Well I got it to work without the Widcomm stack... U like the widcomm stack better than the current one but the memory is a big big turn off for me.

Since I got it working with the stock one I don't think I'll install the widcomm one.
