i did the lock method for the upgrade but for some reason it gave me an error at 99% saying that the usb wasn't connected. I'm guessing it lost sync for some odd reason so i have no idea. The battery is charged so that shouldn't be a problem. Now i'm stuck at the bootloader and when i try the RUU again, it saids error [300] invalid update or a connection error.

anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?

newbie

This thread looks interesting. Finger friendly PDA, that's what I am looking for. Sorry, but i have some newbie questions. I am using Atom Black with WM5. How do I install this ROM? Do I:

1. Download and install as per the instructions in the readme? Would my existing data, such as contacts and sms be retained after installing this new ROM? I presume my data in my memory card would be retained.

2. What will happen to my previous installed 3rd party software? Would they be retained too after installing this new ROM? What if the softwares are installed in my memory card?

3. What happen if the installation failed? Would I be able to revert to my previous ROM?

4. What are the differences between "CID G4 LOCKED" and "CID UNLOCKED" folders in the installation zip file? Which one should I install? It was stated there, depending on my device, but I don't know which one.

thanks for the help, guys. . .

I mean WinRAR. Dont want yall to think I'm crazy ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I got it... extract all the contents of the ziped file to a folder. Open that folder, and now copy nk.nbf to the cid unlocked folder. Now you can run RUU :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] doctorbr79:
Excellent! You're the man! I will definitely be posting my findings, which will most likely be gratitude!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
read the readme :)

it says move the file to the directory. Other than that I have some recommendations for what this rom can also have:

-smartskey (would be nice)

-a little more program memory (I usualy have 18 19 mb left which is not enough for me sometimes I guess this is because pagepool is at 12 and launching the cube eats 1mb forever)

-activesync launches itself for no reason sometimes

-wm5torage could be included

-sometimes connmgr.exe locks the device (full cpu usage I had this problem with other roms sometimes too)

-pocketcm could be included (it's free and a great showoff :) )

-the cube music button tries to open the audio manager

-I had to reselect the black theme from home settings to get the theme right

-When nothing is running somethings use like 8 - 13 % cpu I don't know if it's the battery status plugin is this normal? I remember having 1 - 3 % with other roms.

all minor issues for this great rom, I clocked my device to 169 occasionally over clocking to 287 for some programs (with no problems), its still faster than others I've tried and very classy polish on top. May start a new trend of roms :D.

Are there any powersaving or program memory saving additions to this rom you may have figured or know of?

thanks dferreira
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Noonski:
So still no luck on the buttons?

Sorry i can't check an actual wizard 2.3 aku image right now :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I have SoftKey, that does the same thing and occupies about 2Kb of memory ROM.

I've got right now a second version of this ROM which includes X-Button 2.0. It handles memory better than X-Button 1.5. Pagepool is 12MB because that gives us the edge on performance. You can change the pagepool (check the first post for the FAQ's )

This never happened to me... can anyone confirm this?

Ok, I'll add this ;)

Remove your overclocking... 287MHz is way too much. Be advised to use about 240MHz... more than that and you just drain battery... and also bugs appear that have nothing to do with the ROM...

I didn't include it because tene doesn't want that. I've included his keyboard on a earlier version of this and I was instructed to remove it. If you want it, install it.

Read the 1st post. You can change that behavior using Custom Media Hub.

I know of this issue. Due to the all black registry hacking, this has to be done to obtain an all black skining :) Nothing I can do about it... (or I could add the registry setting since boot... hum...)

Hum... maybe OC has something to do with it...

I'll include ScreenOff on rev 0.2 of WM5, so that you can turn off your display while listening to music. You'll still be able to change music using DPAD without turning the screen on :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Still no luck... I've flashed my Wizard 3 times today, just to experiment different locations... I can't figure this thing out :\
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
dferreira thanks for the reply

Seemed so nice for a while to have a 287mhz device :P. It's for the coolcam app I have for recording videos ( I was getting 20 fps 352x288 videos :P )

SmartsKey I mentioned does things like closing apps holding the right softkey and start menu holding the left key for a while , does softkey applet do the same thing?

Installed screnoff and assigned it to a button it's nice

I don't know much about windows mobile rom community. I'm just a user so , sorry for inconvenience about pocketcm.

Looking forward to the next release,

thanks again, I love the quote on change.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
No it doesn't, it allows you to assign whatever program to those keys. I'll add SmartsKey then ;)

About pocketCM, as I said, you can add it later :) Also, if it becomes updated, you can easily uninstall it and add a new version ;)

Thanks everyone.

Active sync starts by itself on mine also, I've set up a mock exchange server and set to manual then deleted mock server this solved it on original rom.

BTW i found out why the dialer on security panel was pink... phcanOverbmp.dll is the responsible for this (this is where the new battery icon is)... I'm editing it and going to certify it so that it can run on our devices ;)

Hi, im new in this forum. i flash your rom tomorrow.

Do you looking forward to create a german version too?

Can you tell me how to make the hardware keyboard into german?

sorry for my bad english!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] doctorbr79:
Okay, this rom is pretty sweet. IT is definitely a good look for my wizard, love the black theme. And it is indeed faster at regular CPU speed vs WM6. I also noticed that my battery has been at 100 percent for about 20 minutes so far, even tho I have battery status clocked at 260. ITs never been like that! Great work so far.

I tried installing the other HTC home plugin that you suggested to get the weather working. It wouldn't show up and I could not enable it from the today settings. It also erased your plug-in in my settings, so I had to remove it, then yours came back. I have used that plug in with zoki's rom and it worked, and was the only time my weather would work. Maybe you can help with this. Also, I would like to see the 10-button comm manager, because it has the 'internet sharing' option. I installed Schaps cab, and the icon is there, but it doesn't work.

Being able to hold the right softkey to exit things would be nice too, as I have a hard case over my wizard, and its difficult to hit the x with my finger.

Still a great rom tho!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Pumpiron579:
In the next release, could you just add the weather plugin. I added it but would not work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I've included the instructions to disable this auto poppup of activesync on the FAQ's. There also the Time Zone settings, that seen to activate activesync from time to time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I've included the HOSTS redirect from htc.accuweather.com -> ip from N2A via registry on the next release (it does the same that the patched dll does, although their patched dll doesn't work on WM5). Lets see if it works for you.

PS: I'm about to flash the new release. Will test it through tomorrow and see how it behaves ;)

"Zoom SMS (you can disable it if you don't like it... I love it!)"

How can I do this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
and mp3 ringtones

last zoki rom I used enabled me to use mp3s. you could add this too, for example my documents->my ringtones in storage card used to get recognized. sorry I don't know yet how it could be done :P I'm searching now

It seems putting the mp3 in the root directory or the mydocuments directory makes it recognized, but would be nice if it stayed in my ringtones folder.. no big deal

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] iAmPengwin:
nevermind, i used another rom and it works now but i still can't get this rom to work. It will always stop at 99% and give me a communications error and i get stuck on the bootloader screen again.

edit: nevermind, i got it to work somehow. I haven't used it yet but im excited to. :D

edit 2: I really dislike the 24hour time format, any way to change it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sebek-d:
Don´t forget about European users, we operate in 24hr mode time and a lot of people prefer 24hr mode. hopefully there is solution to have the option to change that from 12 to 24hr mode.

By the way my alarm is not turning at 6 am anymore:) still dont know the reason:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] iAmPengwin:

1. Download and install as per the instructions in the readme? Would my existing data, such as contacts and sms be retained after installing this new ROM? I presume my data in my memory card would be retained.

Get a program called Pim backup and backup your contacts sms it is included on this rom so you can easily put them all back.

2. What will happen to my previous installed 3rd party software? Would they be retained too after installing this new ROM? What if the softwares are installed in my memory card?

Any software will be lost from main memory but not the sd card, however you may still need to reinstall it so windows knows where it is.

3. What happen if the installation failed? Would I be able to revert to my previous ROM?

Read this very carefully and then read it again (including any links to other threads) When you've done that read it again.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=310831

4. What are the differences between "CID G4 LOCKED" and "CID UNLOCKED" folders in the installation zip file? Which one should I install? It was stated there, depending on my device, but I don't know which one.

As above. sorry but the process is too complicated to give you a quick answer you really do have to read alot.

With regard to G4 cid locked / unlocked I'm not sure as I have G3 but I think you need to determine which device you have then copy the nk.nbf file in to that folder and use that one. Best bet is to read the thread in the link. use WST to determine which device you have.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329170

Sorry guys for not being able to keep my promise of releasing the new Rev this past Sunday. I've been testing and flashing my Wizards countless times just to make sure everything is working as I want it to be, meaning reorganizing the icons on Programs, just so that you don't have to look too much for something (or even scroll on it). About the ROM itself, I've fixed the missing ringtones (added some more). I'm having some problems with FTouchFlo... but its some conflict with the touchflo driver and the program... still have to narrow it down.

I know, I do take some time to release a new ROM, but its just so that you don't have the pain of flashing a new ROM every day...

I have been using V4 for 2 weeks now, it is very good rom and very speedy and stable rom, but i have the following comments :

1. the clock in the today screen does not work for Am/Pm System (even after i changed the settings in the regional options).

2. the weather plugin does not update using the GPRS, it is only update when i am connect to my computer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Those are known issues of HTC Home Plugin for WM5. During the port, some funcionality was lost (decompiling, recompiling without the source code has these issues). Those are reasons to NOT include it on Rev. 5.

FTouchFlo issues are solved ;)

All,

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere but if it has I have missed it. I am running WM5SE on a locked Q4 Cingular 8125. Since I flashed the ROM I have not been able to sync with either my laptop or my PC. I am running Windows XP Pro on both with ActiveSync 4.50 on the laptop and 4.1.0 on the desktop. I am connecting through USB... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

clock remains in correct 12h time until..i dont remember what i did but it reset back to 24. try and fix that, i hate 24h =(

and why does my text inbox get cleared when i restart the phone? that'd be nice to not have happen too.

Don't panic, thats the Bootloader screen. As long you can get that screen, you can restore your phone.

You can restore it back to working condition by flashing back Wizard_Love ROM or your original ROM.
