Just wait for WM A02 to be released, or use the RC1 that MagLite has recently released.

A02 has more advantages/improvements over A01. You can skip A01 and directly flash to A02 without problem

Ahh, I see what you mean now. WMP was not in my start menu to begin with. If you add it in, then you are correct that you have to perform a soft reset for the menu to change. So I will confirm this bug.

I still don't have the overlapping WiFi icon though.

Google for "anonymous proxy server" and pick one from a country that isn't blocked. Then set your browser to use that proxy. I do this all the time when my country is blocked.

It's not a bug, it's another icon library. If you open WirelessIcon.exe.0409.mui as ICL file (icon library) you can see all icons inside. Look the attachment.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gadianton:
I haven't been able to connect with WPA networks with RC1. I had no problems with PR2. I'll keep testing.

UPDATE: Ok, I figured it out. After a reset, I had to turn on bluetooth. Turn on flight mode. Turn off flight mode. Turn off bluetooth. Turn on WIFI and then it would connect. (I also had to select TKIP under the network setting for the network I was connecting to... when I went through the normal under pass key and etc, it evidently did not select that option, despite correctly taking the pass key.)

Anyway, with that kink worked out, this version seems to be pretty darn snappy.

I would appreciate it if anyone would upload a 6mg pagepool version of the rom so I can test out the video refresh while reading ebooks (still somewhat evident in RC1). I am a little bit hesitant to hex edit.

Small update...

Dell Axim X50v WM6 A02 Release Candidate 2 (Mirror 1, Mirror 2)

Please do not install full backup from A02 RC1 version! Backup only PIM data.

Changes:

1) Fixed registry bug. Now you don't need soft reset to apply system changes.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hendrixus:
already another one? Thanks. What is changed?

Hmm forget this last remark. I am going to bed :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Nice! So wait, Maglite, what do you mean by fixing the registry bug. Do you mean you fixed that menus error? And can you please answer me the questions I posted on the last page.

How can I get back the original Microsoft's WMP skin and make it z default again, while yours will be my secondary option?

And can I disable those sounds that you added when you press the start menu? The reason is WM6 doesn't originally come with sounds for start taps, and I think the start nenu is alittlebit snapier without it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
What? Try to ask your questions again with more clarity.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Saukoon, I think you were missing the point there. The question was not "should I get A01 or A02?" Their problem would exist regardless of the ROM version they were trying to get because the real problem (and question) was, "how do I get around having to use RapidShare?"

Yuenmun, are you able to use the other mirror links MagLite has posted for the RC1 and RC2 ROMS?

When I put the wm5 files on the sd card. It says no usable image when the sd inage updater starts. I have two cards. A 128 and a 1 gig. Ive tried both with fat32 format. When i put them back in the computer all of the files are there.

still not able to connect my headset in hands-free mode. only works in wireless stereo. is there anything i can do to fix this?

pondering going back to wm5 :-(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
Did you format them beforehand, or just put the files on an existing FAT32-format card? It needs to be formatted and clean, with no other files on the card and the two files from the ROM copied to the root. Even then there does seem to be a compatibility issue with some cards. I don't know which. I used a Sandisk 256 meg from my camera and it worked fine once it was formatted.

Bundle of Thanks

Thanks you very much for your Magnificent work Maglite. I have tested WM2006 ROM A2 RC1 and RC2. I was about to report registry problems with RC1 but in RC2 they have been adressed. device is lightening fast as compared to WM2005 ROM. A01 and A 02.

I have tested the following programs and working fine.

1. TomTom Navigator 6

2. Garmin XT

3. Adobe Acrobat Reader ( the file tested so far has been tagged using Acrobet Reader 2.0 from pc). I have not tested yet but will test later the files tagged by Acrobat 8.0 on pc but had problems previously with WM05 . it worked fine with 2003se though.

No problems with Bluetooth . I felt the mode tab should be the first rather than devices but it is not an issue. It is early to say but battery life has significantly improved. No program running in the background Free memory is 32.95 MB as compared to 23 MB of WM05 that I find it very useful running many programs at the same time like WM with Sat Nav. I have both TomTom and Garmin XT installed at the same time. very smooth installation with no problems. Congratulations. MagLite you are a great Man with out any doubt.

It really doesn't matter if there are other files on the card or not.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lysiong:
ya, mines even got 1gb+ data in the 2gb SD card. I still be able to flash my x50v rom.....:) but one thing to be make sure is your SD card must be FAT32 formated.

I had to turn on bluetooth. Turn on flight mode. Turn off flight mode. Turn off bluetooth. Turn on Wifi... and then I had to make sure that TKIP was selected in the encryption settings of the network to make it work. Since then it works great.

Hello Maglite,

You should problably know...

Alarm clock still not sounding and no flashing the power button light. And no flashing the power button green light for calendar and tasks reminders (but sound is ok for both).

Small problems, but its good to see them solved in a final version.

Thanks!

I can tell you don't use the forum's search capabilities much. ;)

Take a look at this. I wrote it a while ago in the WM5 A03 thread, but it still holds true. The only difference is that instead of searching for this, "FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF 9B4F FFFF 64B0 0000 6400 0000 40F4 1B80 0000 C000", you will be searching for this --> FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF 9B4F FFFF 64B0 0000 6400 0000 40F4 1B80 0000 4000. You will change "0000 4000" to "0000 8000" to change from 4mb to 8mb.

Battery Drain

I don't know if any one else has this problem i am running RC2 on my X50v I left the unit fully charged went to bed got up in the morning, first off the machine would not switch on(soft reset) then the battery power was down to 48%.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
Okay, I don't know which bug this is related to or whether this is something else entirely, but it's not unfamiliar.

Back when I upgraded to WM5 A01, I had a problem wherein, often as not, at least once a day, when my unit is in standby for a period of time, pressing the power button will turn the unit on to a memory error, wherein I have to press the contacts button to fix it. (Depending on how long it was left in standby, it may also drain the battery, as it did this morning, which may be related to pigboy306's problem) This made using my alarms extremely dodgy because they were more likely not to go off due to this memory error problem. This mostly went away in WM5 A02, and was completely gone with WM6 A01. Now, as of WM6 A02 RC1 it seems to be back. (I haven't installed A02 yet, but it doesn't seem to address this issue) So far it has only happened once, so I don't know if this is a recurring problem or not, but since it hasn't happened since WM5 A01, and continued to be fine under WM6 through at least A02 PR1 (I skipped from PR1 to RC1) and is only now showing up suddenly after upgrading to RC1, I suspect there may have been a bug introduced between then and now.

I'm not running anything different aside from upgrading to Wisbar Advance 3, and the only things I have installed right now (all to internal storage) are Wisbar Advance, Chronos Clock, and SBSH PocketWeather, which are the three main things I reinstall every time I flash.

I'll have to see if it continues to be a problem over the next few days. If it does I'll either have to wait for the next RC or revert to PR1 or PR2, since I use my Axim as an alarm clock every morning. (I have my Treo as a backup, but I prefer the Axim being the primary)

Oh, and a question. What advantage does increasing or decreasing the page pool have? I am guessing that the smaller the page pool, the more free executable memory is available but the less responsive the unit becomes due to a reduced ability to cache icons and such. Is this about right, or is there more to it?

ActiveSync Error When Syncing 2 PCs

First, Thanks MagLite for all of your hard work. You are doing a better job than Dell ever did.:)

:confused: With RC2 installed, I have an error I have not encountered before. (I.E. WM2003SE, WM5.0, or PR1-2 and RC1).

I can create a partnership with both PC but after creating the partnership with the second PC I can no longer sync with the first.

When trying to sync with the orgional PC I get a message that certain Items have never been sync'd and asks if I want to replace, combine, or not sync at this time.

I have done a hard reset deleted the partnership on both PC's, reinstalled all Appz and recreated the partnerships and the error reappears.

The items I have syncing normally are Contacts, Calender, Email (on the first PC only), Tasks, Notes, Favorites, Files, Iambic's Vehicle Manager and Vidaone's Diet and Fitness.

This error will also orrur if no data is being sync'd with the second PC and only the partnership exists.

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling ActiveSync on both PC's. Both PC's are running Windows XP Pro.

Has any one encounter this error with RC2?

Hats off to you Maglite! Great work! :)

R2 Candidate 2 works great, Just a single bug though. I guess this one's a solitary case as nobody else seems to be reporting the same problem. Thing is, when I switch out batteries, my Ax retains the battery level of my previous battery. Tried soft-reset, fake hard-reset, but it just does not recognize a fresh, fully juiced-up batt. Could this be a hardware thingy or is there somewhere in the registry I can check, like how often the system checks for power level, like a "power level check refresh rate" or something like that?

Other than that, I'm as happy with my Ax as I was wih my iPAQ 2210 four years ago. Timeless devices I'd now consider these two. :cool:

I use iGuidance 4 on my X50v WM6 Maglite Edition. It works fine without any issue.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
I think those just delete duplicate notifications from the database without changing the registry.

The alarm problem had something to do with the device not "waking up" fast enough.

The alarm events would trigger before the device was powered-up enough for the sound system and all other related systems to be fully "on".

The registry changes actually adjusted the time it took to go from suspend to fully on.

BurrOak Software made a program, WakeUpTweak, that adjusted the registry but if the keys are different in WM6 then the program won't work.

I don't know the problem in wm 2003 but I tried by changing registry values in HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts with no results.

Alarm wake up the axim and show visual message, but sometimes with sound and sometimes without sound.

I think this registries values are for alarms that can't wake up the unit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Hey guys and gals, could you all please create a "WM6 Alarm Problems" thread to discuss this sort of thing in? The alarm thing really has moved further and further from the subject of this thread. It appears there are enough people who are having trouble with it that it makes sense to have another thread about it so as not to keep cluttering up this thread. Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
First of all, cavyman, I have been searching a lot for the page pool around those forums, I just wanted to know before which hex editor was used specifically for Dell Axims. But really they can be used for many devices. Thank you for leading me to PSpad anyways. The thing is i'm not really a programmer, and according to the instructions I have a big chance of bricking my device. Also, another problem is that my only computer right now is currently being infected by spyware, and have been for a few weeks while I was on vacation in August.

What I mean is that, Maglite, it will be definitely great if you did make a WM6 A02 Final version with two different PPs, one you kept at 4mb, and another one at 8mb. This is considering that many people here are also concerned about the PP, but are afraid to do it themselves, like me. According to Cavyman's great explanation about the PP, it definitely holds true why I did notice that your WM6 A01 was faster on my device than your current one. I 'm one of those people who really likes to spend countless hours surfing the internet on my pda, while listening to music, and using it exstensively for GPS as well during vacations. So, could you make one, please??? However, this is definitely up to you. You do whatever you want to do.

I actually on another hand could try something different for changing Page Pool myself (if you decide not to make one with 8mb) called a PagePool Smart Changer, which is originally designed for HTC Touch, but soon could be compatible for our Axims. Its a tool with a script that allows you to change pp of your device without actually reflashiing it again, soft reset is all it needs. Search for it in the forums.

Maglite, what I really would like to know about, is if you actually are planning to make another update within a next few days or not, such as fixing that alarm issue. I believe that that's about the only bug left for us to fix overall. The thing is i'm going to be now really busy since school started, and I really want to have my device fully functional with all of the applications installed that I need. Since you said that we shouldn't do a full backup, but rather install everything again manually, it makes things really hard when you release your updates every couple of days where I have to hard reset my device. I mean those updates are great (that's why I decide to install every single one of your updates), but my device is kiind of unusable right now for school. So, once again, are you planning to release another update that will maybe fix this alarm issue in tge next few days, or should I start getting comfortable with this WM6 A02 RC2???

And about the alarm issue, maglite, you are definately right, there is actually many pdas, like upgrade to WM6 Dash experiencing those problems. Dash users actually got a simple cab that fixes that sound issue, but it's not compartible with our axims.

Sorry, for such a long story, but I just thought I had to write one.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

Xdenwarrior, your posts here make you sound as if the forum here is for your personal use.

Maglite and the members here are not here for you only.

I have not had to post once here to find a solution to issues I have encountered but then I make sure to perform a search first before thinking of posting in this already overcrowded thread with many duplicate questions and the solutions mentioned many many times for the same issue.

Why should Maglite have to make a second rom for each version based on what you want?

Has he suddenly become your personal programmer?

Instead of bringing up the same issues repeatedly before there is an update, you just add to this thread and make it harder for members to find the solution to issues they have.

Please show some patience for an update before bringing up a problem already mentioned.

It is very obvious that Maglite reads this thread and responds to issues posted but when you repeatedly post the same issue, it comes across as pestering maglite and taking away from his time for working on the rom and his free time away from the computer.

This post is not flame anyone but to ask for a little bit of consideration and patience.

I would rather it built correctly than quickly and buggy.
