n00b question

I have one of the X51 mid axim's and i'm wondering if this ROM will work with it. I doubt it, but thought i'd ask. If this ROM won't work, any suggestions on other ROM's that i could use?

Thanks,

DUtrainertom

Another minor A17 Bug

I noticed that when I went to Start>Settings>System>Screen and hit Align Screen button to adjust my digitizer, the text at the top of the screen is all Question marks.

Anybody else have an issue where the battery runs down ~10% per hour of standby?

If you implant those modified registry into default.hv. the problem will be solved.

Microsoft Voice Command issue with ROM A17

I can not get Microsoft Voice Command to work with the ROM A17 update. The message my PDA gives is "Voice Command has encountered a problem. Restart Voice Command and try again." When I do a soft reset I get this message all of the time. Is there anything I can try? I can not wait for WM6 on my Dell.

Other than that great ROM.:)

WM6 rom download

Hi Football,

Wow such a great work! where can i download the WM6 rom for the Axim X51v? Is it in english?

In your russian thread i've seen that some people in the thread claims that they have the WM6 in the X51v.

Thanks

way to install without action button

My action button (or mail, home, contacts) buttons don't work. Anyway to update the rom through pc software or without the action button. I can get to the screen where the room is listed, but don't have a way to execute it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hiperjp:
What's the correct order?, i have 3 files: dlgctr.reg, GWE.reg and MenuBarHeight.reg.

Thanks in advance! :D

Thanks Football, great work! Looking forward to WM6:cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KBachler:
I tried this version. The CF problem I described still exists.

When adding the AttachPath or PropertyPath registry entries, the ROM seems to initialize the registry BEFORE the hardware cards. Thus, setting a registry entry to place mail on a card creates a new (virtual) CF or SD card. Then, when the real card initializes, it initializes as CF Card2 or SD Card2.

Isn't anyone else having this issue? How do you store email on your memory card with this issue?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HappyMM:
This is not A17 problem. This is a problem for all WM5 PPC.

There is an easy way to solve this problem.

Please turn off today-plugin messaging and other programs those will show email in the today screen.

hey i try to install it but i cant i need help i dont understand

plzz somebody can help me plzz
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KBachler:
I have turned them off. The problem still happened.

Here is the solution to the problem: Football removed Pocket MSN, so it doesn't show up on the Today screen options. However, it is still in the registry as enabled. I went through and removed the Pocket MSN registry entries and now it works.

In addition to using the beta of Windows live, European law required Pocket MSN to be provided separately - so you can purchase Pocket MSN from Handango UK and install it. However, you must first remove the existing registry entries or it won't install.

Registry files missing?

Hi,

can someone post the mentioned .reg files? I upgraded to A17 but cannot find these files anywhere on my Axim.

Regards,

Erik
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KBachler:
I think it's in the first post in the thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KBachler:
Some people were asking about Messenger, msnmail, etc. in another thread. Go to handango.uk and you can purchase Pocket MSN there, which includes both. Before attempting to install, remove all current registry entries that refer to Pocket MSN (or it won't install because the installation program will think it is already installed). It works fin.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] etamboer:
Thanks KBachler!

In the first post.... thanks for not yelling at me :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] etamboer:
I imported these .reg files but now the colors are messed up, I think by GWE.reg. Especially if you use Magic Button the top bar looks really ugly. Does anyone have the default settings or perhaps an export of "unpatched" registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] etamboer:
Never mind,

I found key DefSysColor and copied it to SysColor (overwriting it) and the colors are back to normal!

just got known to this fantastic thread from the engadget news about x50v wm6 rom

well i have a x51v, so i came here

but seems the sd image loader doesn't find the file on my card, i'm sure it is fat32 formatted, but i have only a MMC card(not a SD card), should this be the prob?

//confirmed

it's the MMC card, i get a SD card and the update loads, wow

I wonder if this rom is not for the average, non techie?

After install are there things to do that the average person

might want to stay away from?

Also, did I read that the rom disables the CF card?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
CF Is working fine on the latest ROM, to be honest its a very simple process to do the upgrade even for the Non-Techie.

WM6 ROM Request for axim x51

Hi Football. Thank you for your x51v WM6 ROM. I wonder if there will be a ROM for x51 owners. I am sure many would appreciate that. Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
Quick question JohnDaddyo where did you find Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched, img-43206-Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched, and sdkCerts? lol maybe i downloaded the wrong rom. i dont know if my rom has the CF fix i dont have a CF card but i am looking to get on e in the very near future. is there any way to find out if what i have is the right version, is there a diffrence in version number or anyhting. also i didnt download sdkCerts? what does that file do?

update: nevermind i figured it out
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
Ok I looked it up and i dont think you need SdkCerts unless your trying to change the menu icons or somthing like that, so it looks liek you have all the right files, the only ones you need in the card for the ROM update at first is DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN.nb0 & DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN_nb0.crc files they are both in the Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched.rar file but remember to unzip them with a program like, pkunzip or winzip, before putting them on the SD card. thats what you need to do before you do the first ste i told you. Also remember to unzip the a17regfix files so that you can get all the files that you need for the registry fixes, all the reg fixes can be found on the fist thread, remember you need GWE (in the "Fix notification windows" download) no need to unzip, then you have the MenuBarHeight and dlgctr files that can be downloaded (in the"Fix VGAKEY bug" download) also called the a17regfix file that needs to be unziped before you put it on your SD card. hope this helps. sorry if im confusing you more. Also i wanted you to know that i havent had any problems with my WIFI at all.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnDaddyo:
trying to assimilate a step by step...

I place all files on my CF card...

Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched

GWE

a17regfix

img-43206-Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched

Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched

then hold power, wifi and reset?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
Make sure the correct files are unziped when you try it, makesure you have DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN.nb0 & DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN_nb0.crc on the card and then hold power + wifi + reset, then release reset after a few seconds.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnDaddyo:
do you recall where you found or can you post those two files<

DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN.nb0

\DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN_nb0.crc
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
in order to get thoes two files you simply unzip the file "Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched.rar" inside that rar file wil be both

"DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN.nb0"

"DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN_nb0.crc"

extract both .nbo and .crc files to your sd card

put card in axim, press power, wifi, and reset all at the same time.

after a few seconds (maybe 10) let go of the reset button but keep pressing power and wifi

wait till a boot screen pops up on your axim

once that happenes keep ressing the middle button thats surounded bythe direction pad (aka action button) untill you start seeing a file loading screen and then your hom free. once you get that done and if you still have questions about the reg fix just ask and ill try to respond asap
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnDaddyo:
afraid to ask, but...

MUST the files be extracted to my SD and NOT my CF card?

The first time I tried, I had the files on my CF card an a box

came up saying sd image failed, try again. I moved the files to my

SD card but even after holding the three buttons for 40 secs, nothing

happened. When I let go it asks if I want to restore to factory settings.

I said no.

A thought. Perhaps I should delete the files off my CF card and try again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
Are you holding all three buttons and the letting go of the reset button while still holding the power and wifi? im not sure about the cf question i dont have a cf card as of yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnDaddyo:
Hi...

After trying again I get a popup saying "only Fat32 supported" "Image update failed. Please Try again"

listen, I would not blame you in the least if at this point you wish to kinda drop out of the support mode. Seriously!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] UnicornKaz:
Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched.rar <<-- pick only one, you have 3 same files here

GWE.reg -->> it's already a REG file

a17regfix.zip -->> unzip !!

img-43206-Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched.rar <<-- pick only one, you have 3 same files here

( this filename is the one posted at the 1st post !!! )

Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched.rar <<-- pick only one, you have 3 same files here

~~~~~

that's 2 too many !!!

all you need is:

img-43206-Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched.rar

unRAR the above and you have 2 files:

DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN_nb0.crc

DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A17EN.nb0

~~~ and need the following too:

GWE.reg

a17_VGAKEY_regfix.zip -->>> unzip to get 2 "REG" files.

the other 2 instances of ( Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched & Football_A17EN_nb0_CF_Patched ) are the same files as your RAR above !! ... you only need one instance ... not 3 !!

You cannot tell that you have 2 of the same name & the third almost the same ??? :confused: they all are the same size !! :eek:

then read and follow carefully:

Follow these steps to install

1. Copy the image file (*.nb0) and the corresponding CRC file to one SD card root directory (the SD card must be formated as FAT32).

2. Insert that SD card into PDA

3. Hold "Power" + "Wireless" + "Reset" simultaneously for one second. Release "Reset" and hold the other two buttons until system comes up a screen for SD Update Mode.

4. Use the navigator (Up or Down) to select which image you want to update if more than one valid image existing on the SD card

5. Wait till reflash completes.

Note: If the card cannot be recognized, or no file is found, please re-format the SD card and repeat the above steps.

proceed to use all the REG files by tapping on them ... they will be imported into the registry !!

recap:

you should have total of 5 files:

1 nb0

1 crc

3 reg files

~~~

I can't make it any simpler then that .... you have to read throughly !! ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JohnDaddyo:
Thank you.

Ok, I guess I need to first format my SD card to FAT32 ( which I guess is why I got the error listed in my above post)

uhhh, how do I do thid FAT32 format?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
Its telling you to format your sd card as FAT32 make sure its not formatted as FAT. to fo this put your sd card in your card reader and then go to start menu, and then my computer. inside the my computer window you will see your SD card. simply right click on the icon and go down the options untill you see format. then simply select FAT32 option and the wah lah you have a newly formated FAT32 SD card. just add the 2 files (or 5 if you wanna add the 3 reg fix) and repeat what you did the first time. lol naw man its fine your almost there dont worry about me. lol your just lucky that today is my day off.

***warning formatting your SD card will completely erase all of your files so make sure you back them up***

Missing Tasks and Contacts

I've been following this thread for a while now and was excited by the reports of a faster, stable WM5 in A17. I successfully flashed my Axim, but now I'm not able to access my Tasks or my Contact list. When I select them, the screen flashes and returns me to the screen from which I selected the program. Any ideas? I'm going to have to flash back to A12 for now it seems:( .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
did you by chance try resetting your buttons. the option in Start/settings/personal/buttons. somthing like that happened to me with a diffrent version of A17 that i had, for some reason the home button did that and when i checked the option to map that button as home was just gone! i dont know of that issue with this rom maybe youd have the option of remapping your button to there proper apps.

I had the same problem after restoring from a backup (from A04ger) with the "OS upgrade" function in A17. I realized, that there's no way to have a consistent environment with this. So I installed my apps again and vóla - it works perfectly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jabailey1:
Thanks for the suggestions. At first I thought it was because I had done a restore after flashing to A17 that had caused the problem, but when I did a hard reset the Contacts and Tasks still didn't work. I'm going to try flashing once more, and not restoring to see what happens. I'd really like to use this ROM, I'm tired of A12's sluggishness.
