If someone wants the TodayPanel v2.20 Pro version, you can download the file from this little server Admin edit: link removed, warez is not allowed!

With more functions, like "Power Off" or Task Manager or "Wifi"

i edited the wm6 rom so that i could have a 8mb pagefile. useful in heavy multitasking. the default pagefile size kozhura set it at is 4.5mb.

i also tried putting the pagefile to 0mb (zero mb). the performance was pretty bad, acrobat reader had trouble running, heavy stuttering when going back and forth to different tabs/windows, etc.

It works, thanks!:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Eikichi:
I meant the OEM the one which came from the rom itself since kozhura had problems making it work as part of the ROM (OEM) since kozhura in his post in the russian forums has mentioned its inability to run as a built-in plugin, but installing it as a third party software be it light or pro works works perfectly. But the PRO one is recommended, as it has more fuctions than the light one. :o
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Casual User:
I see. Thanks for the explanation. It is a little difficult understanding googleese. However, like you said it installs fine after the ROM has been flashed.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by colored bars. These are the same files that were included with the WM5 AKU 3.5.2 for the 4700. This installation can be removed by the Remove Programs applet if it isn't what your looking for. Give it a try to see if it is what you want.

I can only turn on if i remove the SD-Card and plug-in again.

Beside, everything else works fine.

Thanks a lot for the very fast response on my Today panel. Now I've found another interesting thing which I can not explain and would appreciate your enlightment here.

Before I could on my hx4700 in ActiveSync find the possibility to backup/restore my PDA, with the new flashed rom that option is not even visible in my AS which took me by surprise!

Is that a feature of WM6??

Thanks a lot

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cafcpete:
Have you looked at switch by the battery eject?

I have to have mine in the "locked" position for the WM6 to work.

If I have it in the "Un-Locked" position then I get the same symptoms as you.

I've been using the latest ROM 0.7.0 fixes 2 now since it was first posted. When used in anger today however, I must say that I am more than a little concerned about the latency between touching the screen - and something happening. Typing works with the keyboard, I often had to wait 2-3 seconds before anything appears and then all the letters appeared at once. Anyone esle notice the latency issue or know of something I need to check/change/modify to correct it? Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oliverr871:
lol i know about that thread. although the benchmarking was useful, in heavy multitasking a bigger pagepool size would be better. notice how in those applications, he just tests out application speed but not multiple application accesses. and the version of wm6 he was using was old (the first release, buggy and slow) and is not using the latest wm6 ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cyberdude_pete:
I find this happens to me too.

I think its compaction.

Not sure, not very familiar.

Seems like it goes away either with a reset, or just by leaving it on for a couple minutes without interaction.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] objectref:
Yeap, it is indeed the compaction thread. To minimize the problem, be sure to store applications and docs in the cards and NOT in main memory.

CF as RAM?

I have some maybe unusual questions.

I have bought CF Apacer 100x 512mb card (brand doesn't matter really), eventhough i have 2gb SD card. Is it possible to somehow on software level expand it's ram (use CF as virtual ram - something like Vista does with usb stick / turbo ram booster).

I would use CF only as ram. Has anybody got an idea how to do this?

Kozhura, your rom is really the best! Respect to all who share their products and help others like me.

Microsoft removed the Backup facility from Activesync and you must rely on software on the 4700 to perform a backup. There used to be a backup app on the 4700, but it has been removed because it no longer works. It was based on Sprite Backup (not freeware). I use SPB Backup (also not freeware).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coruscate:
I've seen this in 2003se too, problem persists in 2006

I've had the same problem, but it started in 2003 se and it persists in this ROM, and it seems to relate to the fact that I've loaded most programs to the SD card. It will be really slow at the begining and after a while seems to work at full speed. Also, the icons in the drop down menu are gone or out of sync with the software after a reset and the correct icons can only be seen again for the items loaded on the SD card if I go in and check and uncheck any item in the menu dialog under system settings. Once this change has been made all my latency problems seem to go away unless I am multitasking multiple GIS/GPS programs.

Let me know if this is similar to your problem.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jwy2k2:
So how does one go about benchmarking multiple application access?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Casual User:
Oh... wouldn't that be nice. To be able to add memory by just inserting a memory card. Unfortunately, ram memory and flash memory aren't the same. To start with, ram memory is much faster (and consumes more power) than flash memory. As far as using flash memory as virtual ram like Vista Readyboost - that is already happening with WM5 and WM6. This virtual ram on the Pocket PC is (in a nutshell) like the Persistent Storage mechanism that is used for memory management. This is also part of the reason why you see complaints about random sluggishness on NOR flash devices like the hx4700 when they are running WM5 or WM6 (file compaction). 2003SE didn't have this type of memory management, and you would always have to be mindful about managing your memory to avoid out of memory problems.

It would be nice if manufacturers provided a slot dedicated for memory expansion (like underneath the battery). One can only wish.

So I guess the answer to your question is no... sorry.

Latest ROM is Great

Just want to say, this latest ROM is great.

Until this ROM i had issues with WPA-PSK, my extended battery was of no use, infact it worked worse than the original, the battery drained even when switched off.

This latest ROM has fixed all of this.

Thanks kozhura and the others for the great work that HP have failed to do for quite some time.

Note for HP, you folks are useless!!!!!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WODP:
@Casual User: Thanks for explaining. It's true, too bad for that missing extra memory slot :)

Is there anyone who knows what 'Download agent' is good gor?

I would like to remove it and BT Phone manager and HP Image zone (i find Pictures & Videos much nicer app - or are they depended one to another?).

That way ROM would be lighter and liter, more storage and page pool to 6 or 8mb ... even aster hx4700 :D

Is it never happened before? I don't have this problem and this version is working well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Casual User:
Actually, I take back my last statement about the Backup/Restore being removed from ActiveSync. It's still there, but only if your using WM 2003SE. As far as I can tell WM5 and WM6 devices don't get to use the Backup/Restore functionality in ActiveSync. Here is a link with more information - http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=379987. I can't recall if WM5 required ActiveSync 4.0, but I do know that WM6 requires ActiveSync 4.5 and as far as I can tell since ActiveSync 4.0 the only devices that could use the Backup/Restore feature are WM 2003SE devices. For a while there was no way to perform a full backup. All WM5 and WM6 users must rely on third party solutions to create a full backup.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Casual User:
No problem with the power button here. Perhaps the button is stuck or non functional. Unfortunately the Self Test program on the hx4700 doesn't test the power button, or the reset button. If the power button is stuck down, then you would have had a problem with the backlight being turned off at some point which would have required you to manually go into the backlight settings and raise the brightness level up from being off. I would try a hard reset and see if that helps. If all else fails - go back to how it was working before. Confirm that it works, and then try the new rom again. Hope you're able to get it working.

I have found the same thing. If I leave it for a few minutes or soft reset problems seems to go away. Probably compaction issue. I do have most programs installed on CF card. (39Mb free in onboard storage)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] objectref:
I finaly managed to flash the "fix2" version of the ROM. I made 2 hard reset after that (i read it here that is essential to do this) and started installing the programs that i was using in the WM5 rom version that i had.

I had installed 5-6 programs and when i did a reset, the iPaq stuck at the first screen, in the time that it tries to load the today plug-ins. It had succesfully loaded the first two but it then stuck and i had to perform a hard reset to get it back.

This happened 3 times (tired of reinstalling programs all night...) and i suspect that it has something to do with software that install itself as Today Plug-ins...

Is it a "known issue" with this particular ROM and the Today Plug-ins ??

Or, is there a way to actually boot the iPaq WITHOUT loading the plug-ins so that i can easily "spot" the program that cause the behavior ??

(just imagine to install 10-15 programs and be forced to this all over again, for 4rth time...)

thanks for any help!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nimbus265:
I think the thing is that this particular build 0.7.0 fixes 2 seems to be worse than any of the previous 0.7.0 builds. The latency varies depending on when you last did a soft reset it appears, and is never consistant. I have one only application installed on the device itself - the rest are on a variety of SD cards. As I use the PDA for flight navigation principly, I cannot afford to be focused on soft resetting the device every few minutes/hours etc while in flight.

While this ROM, when working is fantastic,does anyone notice the latency or have any suggestions as to how to improve pefomance? Thanks

How to redirect mail folder to SD Card

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ctpuk:
Sorry if this has already been posted.

I've found that tweaking the filesys TempPath makes a huge difference to performance as long as you have a fast storage card.

It may be a fluke, but my 4700 seems loads faster now.

What to do...

create a folder (I used "\SD Card\Application Data\Volatile" because the default is "\Application Data\Volatile") on your SD card

Edit the registry - HKLM\System\Filesys - change TempPath value to point to your new folder

Power off PDA

Power on PDA

Perform Soft reset (I use reset.exe - got it from pocketpcfreewares.com)

Whether you use software to do the soft reset or not, the key is that the changes get commited to file. It may be sufficient to power off and on to do this.

Note, I've only tried this today. Up 'til now, my 4700 has been stable - it is definitely a lot snappier. I would guess that it's not a brilliant idea to remove the SD card frequently after making this change - although I have done this once and it didn't crash.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] psyCORe:

I agree. I use SKTools to move the temp folders as well as the cache/history folders for Pocket Internet Explorer to external flash storage. I install several applications to the internal flash of the device, and the only time I notice compaction problems is when I install a new piece of software into memory or if I move files around. After I have installed all of my applications and let the device stabilize, I don't suffer from compaction problems. Here is a link to the trial version of SKTools (no time limit - just some reduced functionality until registered) http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_downloads.html#tools.

Not sure whether this s an incompatibilty with this ROM or CE-Star causes this problem regardless which device and WM6.
