after installation of release 4 rom, everything is fine, except messaging.

everytime i pick "new e-mail account", it go to outlook e-mail inbox directly, whether i use the account selector or the pull-down menu. more strange is that even inside the option menu, "new account..." does not respond. please help.

btw, kozhura, thanks for your great effort to revive my beloved hx4700. thank a lot.

mmmm I'm just a little concerned with TT's behaviour in this latest ROM. It has always switched the BT on and off when launched / closed down. It is not a big issue in doing it yourself but I really did like that feature.

I think that I'll hold off on replacing version 3 of this ROM to see if anyone else could confirm this problem....?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Huck33:
i had the same problem on R3 but i noticed that sometime the Bt switch on and some time not (after launching TTN)

i updated the HX to R4 yesterday evening so i didn't have time to really test this

I use mortscript to change the volume and the position of the before launching TTN, may be i will add a line for switch on the BT

Rel 4 changes?

everyone is saying "great ROM" and so on, but I have seen nothing about what the difference is. Who can tell me about the changes, whats new or better then in ROM Fix 3? ROM Fix 3 is working absolutely fine for me, is it worth to move to Fix 4?

Kozhura, you are doing a really great job (shame on HP !). But when you offer a new Rom release, please write a changelog. I think, you did it at Fix3, please go on so.

I am having really problems with the Rev 4. There is so much lag/latency in use... I've reverted back to release 3. problems:

1. Unable to restore from backup.

2. Up to 5 second lag on pressing screen to something happening

I've reflashed it 3 times with rev 4 - going back to both rev 2 and rev 3 inbetween.. and still the same problems.

Anyone else notice the latency?

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ankhazam:
Well Truly Kozhura You are a Great Developer but yet I cannot understand what's the problem bout posting a changelog in the first post of this topic. Each time you edit the post to link the new files you could just paste the changelog +_+ It's really irritating to dig up posts to find the news from You.

I would also recommend to make the first post sticky :)

I'm trying this wonderfule Rom, but today i had a problem with certificate. I was not able to install it: when I start the *.cer Pda says "The certificate was not successfully added. Please restart the device and try again"

I reset device but the same error happened... Any suggestion?

(i need this certificate to test a wpa-tkip wireless network)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xunah:
Yes you can but not forget to clean reset the device at the and of flashing by pressing CONTACTS + INBOX + RESET. When asked to confirm the clean reset press CALENDER.

You may need to soft reset before or after doing this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Frugal:
Yes I notice the latency, quite severe at times, but revision 4 is the first version I tried so I can't compare it with other versions. Other than the latency though it is perfect. I never thought I'd see WM6 on my 4700. I may try revision 3 but I'll probably just hang on for the next version as I have total confidence that this is just going to get better and better. I have to say thanks to Kozhura for breathing new life into my old PDA!!

HP should be so lucky... and Issues with WM6 ROM

Hp should be so lucky!...

I do not think that HP ever wished for such an awesome source of testing and documentation database!!!

Thanks Kozhura and everyone here for all the info I have found on the HX4700. I finally get the feeling I am getting value for my $$$!!!

I have tested a few ROMs, which I had never done before. Reading this forum gave me the courage to try it and am now pretty confident on how to do it. After all, what can go wrong with these brilliant ROMs, right?? he he :D

I have encountered a few issues with this WM6 ROM though (I do not think I have the very latest version though) Bluetooth cannot start due to insufficient driver memory (I install programs on the SD card) and the volume control does not work. I put the volume on full and automatically it goes all the way down to minimum. So no Bluetooth and no sound. No good for Tom tom!! :(

I have tried the WM5 ROM, and I faced the same Bluetooth issue, however not sure that I had the volume problem...

I use GPS quite a lot, so Bluetooth is a big must. I will keep trying these ROMs to see if I find one that works on my HX4700.

Any hints?

Thank you very much to everyone posting here, but most specially to Kozhura!!

GPRS Setting

Thank you Kozhura! You are the hero of the world Mobilers.

Fix 4 works great!

Then I have one problem, the GPRS Setting style seem to be changed.

From where can we set the the extra dial-string modem command like +cgdcont=1,”ip”,”internet”?

And also I couldn't use Bluetooth PAN from other HTC WM6 device's Internet Sharing function. Are there any way to use it?

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jijibken:
Hi,

I have the same problem on the FIX4 rom: when I try to turn on Bluetooth, I get the following message:"Bluetooth cannot start due to insufficient driver memory".

What is the solution?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frank.alves:
I too see latency but, only when compact filesys or

synchonize worked.

Use SKtools to check
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stealth1:
Remember to delete the \Windows\program files\Games folder to improve the speed !

Let Compaction complete, and Release 4 is even faster than release 1 (I skipped release 2 and 3)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saltinbanquis:
To be honest, I don't know. I have googled for an answer but haven't found anything just yet. If I do, I will post it here...

Am about to test the Fix4 ROM but I don't think this will be solved. What I found strange is that the WM5 ROM brought same issues...

Keep trying!! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Huck33:
quite strange :confused:

i switch on BT without any problem

i have wisbar advance 3 running, i launcher and pocket breeze and not issue
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] foxbatul:
same OLD issue - it is TOMTOM fault.

you need to use the righr version
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
I assume you have paired & connected to your BT GPS device. Also turned off the serial port security, also you may need to uncheck the auto connect to your GPS {device name = BT GPS etc] in the BT setting page select Serial then advanced

I used the Chrismrulz's bootloader to load Rom version 4. No problems. I had tried with the SD card but it got wiped (or unformatted) and didn't seem to work. I have SPB pocket plus (3.0.4). Igo 2006+ works fine and Automatically connects to the Bluetooth GPS. I install programs to device so I can swap SD cards if necessary. I've found no obvious latency or slow action time. The only thing I have found (but not the ipaq's fault but active sync's 4.5.0 I think) is that it seems much slower to sync than with the 3.8 version. I know i was forced to got to ActiveSync4.5 when upgrading to WM5 or WM6. Not loaded Tom Tom (probably unlikely as Igo is the best (IMHO). Waiting for Igo8 eagerly.:) :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saltinbanquis:
Really? I am using Tom Tom 6, (version 6.000) is the a patch I have to apply? I will google for that, but if you have any info/links, I would appreciate it!!

Thanks for the tip anyway!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Frugal:
After I did a hard reset and deleted the navpoint service registry key the latency was gone. It's now running nice and quick.

Frugal
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Frugal:
Some versions of Tomtom 6 overwrite one of the bluetooth .dll's. You need to take a copy before you install TT6 then restore the file once TT is installed. Unfortunately I can't remember which file it is as it is a long time since I had this issue myself.

Frugal
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Notdeadyet:
Would you mind detailing the deleted registry key or pointing to an earlier post with the specific info? thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FrankKF:
Let's come back to PagePool

this topic pops up in cryptic bits and pieces on this thread and elsewhere.

My unit has been upgraded (128MB memory) so that I have the capacity for a larger PagePool for running several apps concurrently (.. and perhaps manipulate cache and have a RAM disk). Vivi's updated Kitchen has just been posted for Kohzura's new WM6-ver-4. All these are great presents under the Xmas tree as we have now seriously rejuvenated PPCs with great VGA-16bit screens.

We sure would benefit from a discussion and comprehensible procedure for addressing PagePool and RAM disk customizations. Mind you, of the some 350,000 followers of these threads .. only a small percent are hackers .. most like I are users with lower capabilities across the spectrum, but intensly interested in tweaking our PPCs to suit our unique usage; and 'bricking' our units no longer seems to be the threat it was just a few weeks ago, thanks to Chris's great BootLoader.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Frank KF

BTW .. with an upgraded (128MB memory) .. does the system recognize and use all 128?

PS: Almost forgot.. I installed the latest ROM (v4) via the chrismrulz Bootloader .. everything works well, have not run into latency issues (yet). Tested WiFi at Paneras' last night, perfect. BT-stereo headset works great, BT-mouse .. OK; Delorme BlueLogger GPS .. ditto; BT-keyboard .. always fussy in past, no exception now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
That would be: HKLM>Services>NavPointService. After you delete it, make sure you flush the registry and reboot to make sure it is truly gone.

However, I have also removed this but find that whenever filesys.exe kicks in, the 4700 drags. Fortunately this is not often or for long, if you keep all apps on SD or CF cards. So I would like to know what others have found with removing this registry key.

Menneisyys published some tweaks for WM5 - some of which may still be helpful in WM6. His 4700 blog is at: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&cat=96. But I think kozhura has already done what's possible in regards to speed. This is already so much better than HP's WM5 fraud.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] merten3000:
Release 4....

Hi all,

First I used fix #3 without any problems. My hx4700 was running faster and more stable then ever before. All programs (tomtom 6.030, IE, bluetooth, etc) worked great.

After that I used fix #4 and flashed without any problems and much quicker then the 3rd release!

But when I started using the hx4700 I noticed that the flashing process did not entirely deleted the previous version. This resulted in a lot of double files in my programs folder. And a lot of programs were still installed but did not work properly.

Today flashed back to fix 3 and all is smooth again.

So I will stick to fix 3 for this moment. But please let me know your experiences because I'm always willing to try again.

By the way I'm also searching for a good way to change the language of my rom to dutch. Suggestions are welcome.....

Greetz Merten
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] garysteel:
When you flash to ver 4 and don't ike and rturn to ver 3 how are you restoring your files as each flash would require a complete re-install of all programs as a backup like spb backup would backup ver 3 or 4 system files does it not ? or

are we supposed to flash to new flash version and just restore a backup.

any help here appreciated

G
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] merten3000:
this is how I do it.... (for now).

After each flash it takes me an hour to re-install everything....:(

But it doesn't bother me that much.

So I can not help you with that one, sorry.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Oli_P_aus_E:
Before you flashed, you didnt perform a clean reset on your device?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] merten3000:
yes I did. but even then it didn't clean the rom well. Even files as mail were duplicated and I never use those files....

But it's ok now with release 3
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cerdito:
Rom Version

Using Rev 3 and now I flash the rom to rev 4 in the old way, ik seems to work but how can I see if I used the whrite Rom, it al seems the same as in Rev 3.

In settings I see:

CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) is this Rev 4 ?????????
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ridolfo:
Yep, that's the right one. If in doubt, compare your "About" screens with the screenshots in the first post; they are updated with each new version. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ridolfo:
I think it's because only the OS part of the ROM is flashed (which is also why it's so much faster). So, if you want to start clean, you should do a clean reset after flashing, not before.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cerdito:
Thanks for your quick answer:) :) :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Deorum:
Great Update ...............
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
I upgraded to the latest ROM, using the written instructions, and all went well.

Just be aware though that it deletes the contents of your SD card, well it did for me.

Fortunately I have all of my applications etc on my CF card.

As most of them worked after the upgrade it saved me a long time in installing them again :)

My bluetooth switching on and off with TomTom works fine.

All good stuff.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] merten3000:
Also flashed again with release 4. Did hard reset after that. Indeed no problem whith double files yet.

First impressions:

- one note is missing in office mobile (was there in release 3)

- seems a bit slower then rel 3 but not so much.

- quick flash indeed

- Still in English (want to cook it to dutch...any help? I already have the vivi kitchen)

- Looks stable

- All programs seem to work (Tomtom, IE, bluetooth, resco file explorer 2007)

Great job!

Ipaq Wireless Icon:

There should be a link in windows folder that you can put in the Startup folder. Its called iPAQWireless.lnk. Or you can create one, it points to \Windows\iPAQWireless.exe and you need to add -s at the end of the "Target" line.

Khozura, Thanks again for another Rom. I too have been experiencing abberant bahavior. WiFi Exchange synching working then not working. Bluetooth sync the same way. Other issues. I am going back to Rom 3. I would suggest releasing a Full ROM of fix 4, perhaps that would be best to cure these odd behaviors people are seeing.

I'm having similar issues (still on kozhura's WM5) with insufficient driver memory, but it started after having the device upgraded to 128 mb ram :(

Does your device have 128 mb ram, by any chance?

I'll try with a reflash to fix4...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
KTamas, Luckily, I've not experienced any freezing after standby since I installed this ROM, but there was one time I had a similar experience with a previous WM5 ROM. Just can't recall if I had flashed to the kozuhra 3.5.2 or was still on the HP trash. So perhaps this is not related to the ROM. Just a thought.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ipaquser07:
Excellent work Kozhura!

Upgrade went well, used GUI version of bootloader on XP.

My additional observations are:

The RSS aggregator FeederReader fails to work with the preinstalled .NET framework on the ROM. However reinstalling .NET CF fixes this problem. This was also true on WM5 AKU 352 ver 1.4.

Calender information saved from AKU_352 ver 1.4 using SPB_Backup, when restored reports a database corruption error when attempting to add new appointment. Any help appreciated on this one. I am prepared to delete the calender information not contacts though.

Cheers.

P.S. the 4700 is now soooo responsive!!!!

Hey guys, just updated my bootloader - (BootLoader.exe)

It now supports flashing under Windows Vista.

If it detects you are running vista, it will prompt you to install the special drivers automatically.

It will disable the 'allow usb connections' setting, then detect your hardware and install the bootloader-compatible vista drivers, then enable usb connections again.

if you would like to use this with other bootloader's like the original HP one,

you can use this stand-alone executable that installs them: Vista_Drivers.exe
