WM6 A02 PR2 bug?

I put in the new ROM last night, and the certificate issue is gone!

Everything seems working perfectly except when I try to turn on WiFi by clicking on "Turn On" button in Dell's WLAN utility. At first the system spins for a few seconds and stops -- WiFi is not turned on. But after a few tries, it eventually works. This may be the issue carried over from previous versions of ROMs.

Great work Maglite!

BT icon for BroadCom BT Stack

I modified the pretty icon to work with Broadcom Bluetooth Stack.

Only need to put BTTrayCE.exe.0409.mui on \WINDOWS\ and Soft Reset the axim.

If you don't like it, you need to delete BTTrayCE.exe.0409.mui and Soft Reset again.

Not able to create BT partnership with activesync

I am not able to create a BT partnership with activesync (v4.5).

This bugs me, mostly because it seems like all the info is entered at the right places at the right time. I'll explain:

On my beloved Axim x50v running the newest incantation of wm6,

in the bluetooth settings, my computer is listed as devices, bluetooth is turned on, and set to discoverable. And I've been able to pair up a com port with my computer. Everything good so far.

In bluetooth setting on my comp, my axim is listed as an availabel unit, and the com port is reserved here as well.

However, when I ask activesync on my PDA to connect to my comp. using bluetooth, it is of the very strick meaning that there is noe suitable bluetooth partnership. If I answer "yes" here, i come back to the bluetooth settings on my PDA, where everything looks fine, and I find my computer, and have the dedicated com port.

If I answered "no" when it asked me about the partnership, nothing happens (as expected).

Does anyone have an idea? As I really would like to be able to sync using BT, something wich incidently will allow me to connect to the internet aswell without seting up a WiFi.

Thanks in advance

Wild guess: did you create an outgoing port in your x50v Bluetooth setting?

And did you allow the ActiveSync Connection Setting to allow the connection using the port x you set up for bluetooth?

I'm considering getting an x50v to upgrade with MagLites wm6 as a backup to my x51v. Just a quick question.... doe's this version have the full pwer off option that the x51v has? I know that the official wm5 version did not have it probably due to hardware differences, so I doubt it . Can anyone confirm this?

bluetooth

well the bluetooth is showing the headset in this edition (unlike the square in a01), but it only gives the wireless stereo option. i cant setup the hands free.

the wireless stereo seems to work for basic system sounds, but the audio cuts out when trying to use windows media player.

any suggestions?

headset is a plantronics pulsar 590, x50v has the 2nd release of a02
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saukoon:
Yes. You have to set the port used in ActiveSync. Have you done this?

Has anyone tried connecting the latest ROM to a motorola phone via bluetooth to use it as a DUN modem. My axim sees my motorola phone, but then no services are available. I was able to connect in 2003 rom. The 2005 rom required a registry edit to get it working, but I can't figure out what to do with the 2006 rom to use my phone as a modem.

When I installed PR2, I did the no-no of restoring a backup made with PR1 to get access to all my programs. So far I really haven't noticed any real problems (other than a couple of minor glitches), but it was the best I could do since I didn't have time to reinstall everything. Anyway, to the point, I'm going to take some time to reinstall all my programs this weekend, but I was wondering if the A02 Final or PR3 were going to be release soon. If they are I'll hold back and wait until they come. Thanks for the great PR releases.

I don't want to perceived as being ungrateful or putting pressure to finish the release. I am just curious because it would be a shame to get everything reinstalled on PR2 just to have to do it all over again a day or two later.

MagLite ... about boot.rgu and boot.hv

It is posible (if you can) try to modify this files in the rom ... meaning about:

"SectorSize"=dword:1000 to "SectorSize"=dword:200

to see if the sector size at the time of reinstalling the rom is formated to 512 Bytes?

i know that i am been a pain in the a#S about this subject but ... please ... can you make this little thing ..just to kill this doubt

after the reinstallation we can check the sector size with sktools

Did you try assigning a static IP address on both your router and X50V? It helped me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] czayson:
i have the same problem and static ip is not the solution :( connection is still not stable.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kartam:
It won't help, I'm afraid. This is only a registry setting that is erased while flashing. It won't even be read by bootloader while flashing a new rom.

But wait, DrBios - you said some time ago that setting pagepool to 0 MB totally minimizes the compaction attack, right? I wonder why MagLite won't try this, I asked him several times to do it.

But, I've tried other thing - an app called PSMformat (formats the persistent storage from OS level) but it doesn't work and says that no IPSM DLL is available.

I'm afraid that IPSM was removed for the "MSFLASH for STRATAFLASH" driver. I think IPSM handled storage better - well if the IPSM was used in 2003 why compaction didn't occur? Because the drivers were right, I suppose. Now they are Microsoft ones and it doesn't work pretty well. To be honest, Ax doesn't work normally (not to offend anybody, I am very grateful for all the upgrades), because dell is too lazy to change about 2 bytes in the bootloader to make it format with 512 bytes per sector.

I read some time about IPSM and I don't know what library is missing. I copied the PSMFSD.DLL lib from x50v 2003 rom to the windows and root folders, and error still was in place. I even tried to disassemble the PSMformat but I didn't find out what is missing.

I was thinking about recompiling the format code to make an app to format the IPSM in right way. But I don't think it's possible because PSM1: device known from 2003 ROM is now known as DSK1: and I don't think it can be formatted by Windows anyway. But I'll try.

Flashing PR2 right now.

I have WM2003se and I downloaded the upgrade to WM5 file you had a link too. When I start the sd image loader it tells me no image found.:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hongluo:
Hi buddyochoa:

Your SD card must be empty and FAT32 format.

Then you can replace the image file to SD card.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DrBios:
i understand what you say ... another idea than i image was migrate in some way the hx4700 bootloader 2.01 wich have the sector size modification to perform the format at flash time but that i guess is far complicated -.... i guess that the only way is disasemble the axim bootloader but where is it? and how to dump it ? like Maglite said before the only way to doit is modificate the bootloader but i really dont konow how to extrac that part of the rom

BTW:PP0 doesn't have a good efect , it doesn't reduce much que compactation... and ram is eated like hell
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DrBios:
Kartman ... about the compactation in WM2003 ... it happens very often ,you can see it in any cpu task manager, ... filesys.exe at 100% and the unit get stuck ... but the difference is that it just last less, and the filesys threads are almost idle

You must still follow that upgrade path, in order to upgrade to windows mobile 5 a02 which has the bootloader that we need for this to work reliably, you must first have the WM5 a01 installed. once you have flashed to WM5 A02, you can directly flash to this version using the SD card flasher.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Maglite,

Thanks a lot for all of those other updates you released, getting windows live to finally work, which i couldn't wait for, and fixing those WIFI issues. However, not being a power user, i still found the following bugs in your latest WM6 A02 RC1:

1)Menus function in the settings, personal, do not work properly. You can see what i mean when (after you just flashed your device) you press start, and windows media from the shortcuts, you will get a shortcut error. This is because windows media is not being selected as one of the 7 shortcuts, but is still being shown in the start menu. The same thing applies to everything else. Whenever you assign different shortcuts to start menu, you will alwayse have the following shown under the start: today, calendar, contacts, home, internet explorer, messaging, and windows media.

2) Sounds for the alarms do not work, but i know that you are already aware of it. I just hoped at first that "All sounds fix" that you have added in this RC1 have fixed that issue, but i guess not.

3) Not sure if its a bug or not (probably just a graphical error) but when you turn on the wifi and connect, that wifi icon in the tray bar right besides that beatifull 3d looking bluetooth icon that you added, gets overlapped by the signal strength icon. I had the same issue in PR2, but not in PR1. In PR1, that "wifi turned off" icon just simply dissappered, and was replaced by the signal strength icon when my axim connected.

4) I noticed that in Windows Media, you made a new skin (the one from windows vista portable edition over at aximsite) as a default skin. So how do i suppose to get back microsofts original default skin? Did you actually delete it? I know that this shouldn't be considered as a bug, but i do know that when i used your old WM6 A01, when i added that same windows media skin and saved it in my documents folder, microsofts's default skin suddenly dissapeared. This wasn't the case with your WM5 A03, where under searching for skins in the options, i had 2 to pick from.

Now, i just want to double check once again with somebody on the pagepool. Somebody memtioned afew pages below that the videoflow is slower since now the pp is only 4mb, and people who work for microsoft said that the performance of the device will suffer on WM5 and up if the pp is less than 8mb. So, is it really safe to keep the pp at only 4mb, cause i really don't care how much free RAM i get? Maglite, maybe you should set the pp of the axim back to at least 6MB. That would be great.

I know that there is still bugs to be worked on, but we are definately very close to finalizing this WM6 A02 ROM.;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Well, first of all, read this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1492527&postcount=797

Secondly, let us know what kind of connection your work network is. Is it WEP secured? WPA? WPA2? 802.11 authentication?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
Sweet! You da man, Mag. Downloaded and currently flashing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I have noticed that my Axim seemed to work better with the PP set at 6mb as opposed to 4mb. However, it might be working better for some other people. Though you might not care how much free RAM you have, many others have expressed the need for more available RAM. Ultimately, the truth of the matter is that someone will always want something else to be different. It's unrealistic to think that MagLite can produce a single ROM that fits the wants and needs of everyone.

That being said, since the pagepool size can be changed by the end user (as opposed to some things that can only be changed at the "kitchen" level), why not make the pagepool change yourself to fit your needs? I know it's a bit of a pain, but it really doesn't take that long to do if you know what you're doing. Once you're in a HEX editor with the ROM open, you can make incremental changes to the pagepool value and save each derivation of the ROM in a separate folder denoting the pagepool size. When you've finished that, you can begin testing out the ROMS with different pagepool sizes and find the one that gives you the best performance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
its getting nicer, but the rom has an awkard feeling to me, it seems to speed up and slow down randomly, might just be me though. i did get some graohic garblig like that pic that was previously posted, but was probably just pocket quake being crappy. wifi seems to connect easier and it enables a whole lot faster like back in A03. and for Xdenwarrior, the pp @ 4mb on pr2 seemed fine and all was good, at least for me, this new release might just be quirky.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kaitlyn2004:
I'm currently still on WM2003SE. I was disappointed with WM5...

People have said WM6 performed better than WM5, but how does WM6 compare to 2003se?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Kaitlyn, the best thing I can say is "try it for yourself!" Honestly, if I were you, I would erase WM5 from my memory and try WM6 with an open mind. WM5 had a lot of problems, but MagLite has done an EXCELLENT job with this WM6 ROM. I think you will find that for the most part, it is not too much slower than WM2003SE in terms of responsiveness. It does have a lot of added features that I'm sure you've probably picked up on if you have read some of this thread. Plus, if you really don't like WM6, you can always use the Dell WM5 to WM2003SE rollback utility (it will work even though you would be running WM6). :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
Well, so far so good. WiFi works great (shared, WPA) and seems to connect a lot faster than it used to. Running bare (except for the TrueConnect driver which installs automatically when I resync) with only ActiveSync running, I seem to have 28.18 megs of free memory. Does this sound about right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazingwolf:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
PP size now is 4 MB. In future releases, I don't want to change it. If you would like to another PP size please change it manually in HEX editor.

Thanks for the clarification about the PP, cavyman.

Blazyingwolf, Are you serious? I mean you don't experience my first and third bug. Just to be sure, maglite could you please check on my first bug about the menus, and the third about the icons overlapping.

Maglite, also how can i get back my original Windows Media skin made by Microsoft? (Since you replaced it with another one.)

And also, maglite, does WM6 naturally suppose to have sounds when you tap start menu, or did you just decide to add this feature? If i want to, how can i dissable it?

Actually, this is very weird. In order for me to change the shortcuts i want to have in the start menu, i need to soft reset my device. Only THEN, you can see those shortcuts. You don't see them change if you just press ok button, and exit the settings, which worked all of the time before. I really think this is a BUG, you guys.
