uploaded revised 'c' version.

The slight modifications are:

1. embedded phone fix

2. Phone Contacts Manager (added more features/options in the menu of Contacts)

3. speed optimization restored to 200+ integer

Please share me the ROmdisk.cab. I'm using 3.3.2 (not 3.3.2b) and it work well for me, so i dont want to reflash to 3.3.2c. In 3.3.2, there isn't Romdisk.com, so i can't uninstall it in Remove Program. The hidden partition have the name : _QHiddenPartition. With Romdisk.cab, i can use WinCECab to view which registry key to unmount it.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
Hmmm. I'm not sure if we can unmount \_QHiddenPartitionin 3.3.2 that's the reason I hid it in 3.3.2b. Somehow, enabling it by default caused it to be unmountable. Anyway, I have attached the ROMdisk.cab for you to try.

The best way to hide it is to modify 3.3.2 slightly and reflash it.

Maybe you can upload it to wikiupload as for Aku3.3.2b.

Thank you!

Jiggs, I've a question for you, a bit out of topic, but I still didn't find a solution (and you are the Atom Guru).

My Atom has a known bug in the MMS section which prevent to send an MMS directly selecting the name from the contact list (I've to manually put the phone number instead).

As far as you know Is that bug solved or is there a workaround more trivial?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] Aldoir:
bad news.. I lost a call few minutes ago, nor the Green hardware button or 'Answer' soft button was able to answer the call

Reseted the whole phone and it stuck at O2 boot screen ;(

I'm using the 'b' version plus the fix.. do you think I'll get improvements with the latest 'c' release?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
I'm currently, trying to decode HP rw6828. Apparently, it has a more updated set of device drivers. If someone could give a ROM dump of this device, this would greatly help and probably fix the buggy phone!

I have tried downloading their offical ROM update, but somehow, after a week of trying to decode the lock HP has placed on them, I couldn't decode it. So the ROM dump is an alternative option.

If anyone has access to this device, please inform me.

Thanks in advance.

Jiggs

@Aldoir: apparently the increase in speed for 'c' has fixed the 'stuck at boot' symptom. Been using this ROM for the past 4 days without any problems. I haven't had any missed phone calls so far. (fingers crossed)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
In the ROM that I cooked, there is an option New Menu for WM5 in the Settings->System section. I have enabled this in my personal settings and placed in the left soft key; such that, when I want to send SMS, MMS, and all other new stuff (new contact, new etc.) I go straight to the app. For MMS, it opens the composition of MMS, then you just have to tap on 'TO' to search for your contact. This is the design of the OS.

You can post this feature request on dotFred's column under PPC Contacts Manager. I'm sure he'll be glad to do it. In my recent ROM revision, I have included the PPC Contacts Manager. It has more options than the default design of Contacts. But, once dotFred has the new feature, we can easily incorporate it.

cheers,

Jiggs

I do not yet have a large experience! Please collect ROM for Exec of version of 'c'.

1. I put an original file in C:\Scoter Kitchen\UTILITES\ROM\diskimage.nb0 (Xda-Atom-Exec-ENG-20060721-MOT0822.exe)

2. Then following your instruction ROM collected.

3. Sewed

4. My Exec, died! (At a load costs on the picture of O2)

5. I recovered the device!!!

6. What did I do not so???
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] azzo1:
Sorry Jiggs, I didn't make the issue very clear..

I mean.. When I compose a new MMS using the standard messaging app (OS),

if I put in the TO field the name/number selecting the contact from the contact list, the messaging application try to deliver the MMS but, at 99% sending progress, it returns an error.

This is a bug of the messaging application; the contact isn't reported completely in the TO field (it reports something like "name" <+10xxxxx without the trailing >).

Any1 has this bug?

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] ITEX:
Your homebrew ROM is great! Well done... 1 question though...

I am finding the 3.3b rom stable and a great improvement... particularly the WIFI connection, previously it would not connect to my home network from some rooms, now it does! Yeay I can catch up on email in bed now! Nice additional applications too... though I think the 'O2 Plus' free downloadable close button add-on is better than 'mbutton.exe' cooked into the ROM. PS. Instead of making the hidden partition visable (which creates some problems) why not just have a shortcut to one of the '_Qhiddenpartition' folders, in the root of the device - that's what I do... using CECommander explorer can then navigate around (WM5 built in Explorer only allows browsing the folder you link to, can't get back to the root of the hidden partition). then there's one less cab file needed and more space for goodies!!! :rolleyes:

One specific question about the ROM though, where has the bundled GPRS Monitor app gone? I can search and find the links for it but the exe's are no longer there - was this by design for some reason?

Keep up the fantastic work... I'm sure you have the kudos of every Atom user on the planet! Who knows, maybe if O2 see how many users want/need an upgrade they'll see the logic (and get more of their users to stick to the O2 brand) in creating a WM6 upgrade for their older devices and not try to force us to shell out another $1000 +/- to upgrade to a WM6 model. :mad:

I'm going to upgrade again to 3.3c ... unless you think another version is on the horizon soon? ;)

Jiggs
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
I agree O2+ is better than mbutton; however, mbutton could be added without introducing changes to the ROM - meaning no possible conflict, IF an end user wishes to install a program of similar function (i.e. pocket plus, iLauncher, etc.) O2+ when built-in to the ROM will be somehow semi-permanent, and will need a custom CAB to disable this. Right now, I have no time to do this, SO, better install it after hard reset.

I have removed the GPRS monitor because it was not compatible with the new AKU3.3. I will try to replace it with the upgraded GPRS monitor later...

Thanks for the feedback.

If this version is fine for you, then stick to it for a while... I'm still looking for the updated device drivers from the HP rw6828. Please help get hold of a ROM dump from the device.

Jiggs
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
Mr Nik,

You can NOT USE OEM of Atom because we have a different set of drivers. BUT we have the same SYS files only. Just continue your work by modifying OEM section ONLY and TEST it on your device. That's how I do it.

All you need to do is study ROM cooking. I have made a summary of what you need. JUST GO HERE. Please take note that it was made during the time I was cooking for the Himalaya device. BUT, basically, everything you need to edit the ROM is there. OUR present ROM kitchen is pretty much faster than the OLD method.

Happy Cooking.

Hi Jiggs,

I have patched your 3.3.2c and noticed that you change the series to be original one. The process of flashing rom work smoothly.

This means that the series make last rom (3.3.2b) not compatible with my device (Atom Pure).

Thanks

baszu
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
Yeah. I wanted to changed the series, so I will not be confused with the files. There are so many test ROMs here :D Anyway, your feedback was of great value. Hope this ROM is fine by now.

Hey, Jiggs, just a question. Where are the phone notification profiles stored in the registry? I would like to remove the "w3" from "av0w3pr" PERMANENTLY (as it is, a direct registry change of /sounds/ringtone0/Script will be negated if you decide to change ringtones).

I went thru half of the postings and couldn't help but thinking about installing the aku333b. i've actually downloaded it. BUT my greatest fear is when you mentioned about installing this may turn my O2 into a brick!!! my qns:

1. what do u mean by brick? does it mean unuseable, fry the chip, throw the set etc?

2. is it reversable?

3. can somebody put the installation steps and other related steps/actions (jiggs') and other additional steps(?) into a doc file(?) so that it's easier for newbies like to me follow.

3.3.2c Feedback

Like others I have found some freezing up of the phone functions on 3.3.2c - wasnt getting them on b version... may move back to that one soon.

What were the changes from b to c? Is there registry differences I can change back... phone functionality seems to freeze up occasionally when call is coming in, or when pressing a speed dial number... also using alps wifi manager - 'turn on Wifi' switches wifi on, but next time you click on the menu it still says 'turn on Wifi' (not Turn OFF), not a biggie but thought it may be a symptom of a bigger problem? Other than the phone issue no major problems...

Hoping for a WM6 update soon :D

Keep up the good work, if there's anything else I can do to help let me know, I have a computer services business and often do testing and reporting. Glad to assist, shame on O2 for not doing the support!

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] ITEX:
Tracking down 3.3.2c problems...

So far I've found that the locking up issue seems to happen on the first few incoming calls of the day... something to do with prolonged suspend mode?

A cold reboot - not hard reset - seems to prevent it from happening again, incoming calls do not lock up after that - until the next day... to cold reboot, press the reset hole while holding the power button, do not follow the onscreen advice to reset to factory default, after a few seconds just press the reset hole again the phone will restart as normal and the incoming call problem stops.

Interesting
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] shpy:
The 3.3.2c version is realy slower than 3.3.2 . Open or close somethings take much time. Sometime, when oncall, i pressed the answer key (soft or hard button) , it did not work. I must pressed 3-4 times.

I tested by this:

1. 3.3.2c, when feel it run slowly and had some problems, i make a full backup by spb backup.

2. Reflashed 3.3.2c and restored that backup file. Atom still run slowly.

3. Reflashed 3.3.2 and restored that backup file. Atom run faster very much.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] ITEX:

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] ITEX:
I wonder...

Just wondering if the phone hangs are related to the new menu items in the phone functionality, e.g. speakerphone on, speakerphone off, etc... noticed there are two blank menu items showing up that seem to do nothing... never a good sign to have mysterious blank menu items in my opinion! Are those new menu items as a result of a new add-in to the ROM (like the contacts new menu items) or are they they just from the OS?

I've moved back down to 3.3.2b to see how it compares to c. :)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] joolawan:
I used it for two days, I found that It 's very stable.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
I've been using 'c' for a week now, BUT I haven't encountered the phone hangs. Somehow, I have come to a conclusion, that there are device differences. Just like the Atom Pure which doesn't install the new ROM if the serial numbers are changed... etc.

What I do observe with the device is: the WLAN checks for network availability at startup even when it is turned off. It does so in the background. While it is doing this, the phone stability tends to be affected by it. So, if you do soft reset your device... you need to wait for at least 20sec before the system stabilizes. Otherwise, you will encounter hangups. Why? simply because we have very little program memory, and the device drivers for Atom is a resource hog!

We practically used up 45~50% of the program memory around 20~23mb of valuable program memory. Unfortunately, the program memory is something we can do nothing about unless efficient and small device drivers will be used.

Other alternatives would be to disable some services at start up bringing the utilization of the program memory to 19mb (this was the lowest so far that I have achieved) At this point, normal phone operation without application loaded is at its optimum performance.

It is imperative, therefore, that a third party application should have a close function that really closes (i.e. magic button, spb pocket plus, spb mobile shell, iLauncher, etc.) This will save the program memory.

The operation of AKU3.3 also takes up memory. When available program memory drops down to 15mb -> expect hangups! The device simply could not operate without enough space.

Applications that are loaded are startup also take up program memory... That's why in the first release of AKU3.3, I have removed all startup applications rendering ~20mb of used program memory. Seems to me, some people uses the SimToolKit (StartSAT.exe) That's why it's loaded at startup.

@ITEX: As for the blank menus, I don't have blank menus in the phone... I do have disabled menus in the phone application.

cheers,

Hp rw6828

Can this ROM be installed on my HP rw6828 Jiggs?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] ITEX:
Idea of subtle differences in phone builds...

I think you may be right Jiggs, that some Atoms are not quite equal. That may explain some users finding 3.3.3c more stable than b and vice versa

I'm going to keep an eye on my Memory, in settings - see if something on my phone has a memory leak causing the RAM to dip below the phone crashing point.

As for my phone menu weirdness, how strange is this? - After first loading the ROM I notice in the Phone application there are additional clickable menu items that weren't there in aku 2.2... things like speakerphone, conference and a couple of empty menu items with no text... then after the phone has frozen up a few times and required a reboot, those menu items are no longer there... I'm back to just the standard set of menu items now, how strange!

I wonder if there is something in the OS which weeds out items of functionality that cause instability... surely a Microsoft OS couldn't be that smart could it?

Anyway, I'm having great fun tweaking and tuning the Atom - to others reading this list, I'd recommend trying b and c and finding which work best for you - as long as you follow Jiggs' flashing instructions carefully I dont think theres much danger of damaging your phone... just dont try flashing another type of phone!
