Sincronize files with activesync

Hi and thanks to Dferreira for an excellent rom..

Machine: QTEK 9100 in Danish

I see that the files inside the PDA dont syncronize with activesync. Any idea why?? or should I use total commander????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] asctony:
Thanks, that did it. Have reloaded all of my apps, except SKTools. Will try all my tests and report back on the BT.

Again, good luck on your Op!

Hi guys, I'm back from the surgery... still with some pain on the head but I'm getting better :) Will update this as soon as I can ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
File syncronization with Active Sync... I didn't try this... Can anyone confirm this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bigheadku:
thanks for the rom!

thanks for the rom!! i love it,

i could actualy text without using my styles now!! haha

one quick question, after the rom is setup, am i suppose to take out

my battery before the 3.2.1 setup, process? or just let it go though all the way.

i have cingular 8125 unlocked using tmo network.

thanks again dferreira !

nevermind figured it out just right now.

Wifi connection setup?

Hi,

First off, let me say this was my first ROM flash on my "new" phone. I've got a 64 based 8125 and the process went very smoothly.

My issue is that I cant figure out how to connect to my wireless router at home. At first I was using 128-bit WEP encryption and couldn't get that to work. I disabled WEP and got it to connect once, but now when I try to connect it says "connecting", then reverts to "available".

I'm sitting right next to the router so I doubt it's a range issue. My router's settings are as follows:

ssid = "haneynet"

channel = 9

WEP = open system

WEP = enabled (would rather use WEP)

WEP encryption = 128bit

Key Type = HEX

key1 = a series of numbers.

In really dumb terms, what do I need to change on the phone, and where do I need to go to do it? Also, once connected, how do I tell IE to use WIFI, or does it just automatically do so? I don't have a data plan and don't want to rack up usage charges.

And thanks again dferreira for the excellent ROM and instructions!

Thanks,

-Brett.

will this rom work on gsmart phone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] straightgeek:
had a strange occurrence today...

I've been running this ROM since it was released, always run smoothly and w/ no problems only had to soft reset it once that I can remember. This evening my Wizard froze on the Today screen. I did a soft reset and it became stuck on the splash screen. I tried pulling the battery and restarting, would get stuck again. The battery had at least a 80% charge on it.

Finally I had to launch the boot loader a reflash the OEM Tmobile rom.

I'm reloading the SE rom now.

I assume then the surgery went as planned? Good to see you back. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] myk_83:
I recently upgraded from my Wizard to a Kaiser (TyTN II, whatever u want to call it) and so I'm now passing my old Wizard on to my (future) father-in-law. I had updated it to WM6, but not really customized it that much and tried to keep things fast.

Overall tho, WM6 has been pretty slow, and with a few unreliabilities (due to not being native to Wizard, I guess), so I wanted to go back to WM5 which I know works fast on the wizard and does everything my father-in-law will ever need. I want to keep things simple though, so I still want to keep the HTC Home plugin especially (so he can see the time with his aging eyes :-P).

I downloaded this ROM and flashed it today, and I have to say I am mightily impressed! The Touch Cube has the best implementation I have ever seen in a custom ROM, and I think this is something that would definitely help in keeping things simple when I pass the phone on!!! The only thing I'm concerned about at the moment is some of the other programs that are included with this ROM, that are never going to get used and may just confuse him :-/

So, I was wondering if anybody knows of a basically vanilla ROM, but that contains the HTC Home and Cube (not too bothered about touch scrolling) or a way to use one of the many kitchens to cook a ROM with just these features? I really do want to try and stick to the minimum amount of extras as I can get away with while maintaining these two if at all possible.

I'll have to see how he gets on with it for now, but colour me impressed :-)

Nice i have got BRICK....When i flashing my notebook has got restart( i don't know why). On the screen are 3 colors red blue and green On the right corner is RUU and on the left corner is USB. This is End with my wizard.....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Hum... I usually install secureW2 software on the phone, because it supports WPA security and it works flawless. You can get it here: http://www.securew2.com/resources/SecureW2_TTLS_333_CE.zip

Remember, this ROM is based on the old AKU 2.3, so it might not even support WEP encryption right :) But if you add securew2, it will work just fine. About PIE, it uses automatically WIFI if its enabled :) so don't worry about the data plan if the wifi is active. You don't even have to turn the phone into airplane mode to wifi anymore, it just works ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Go the first post of this thread. Read the first line.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
This happened to me when I enabled the Scheduled PIM Backup. At the time it was scheduled, the ROM just froze and only by doing a hardreset was I able to boot it up again. Don't enable it... I've already informed DotFred about this issue, and should be fixed when he does it :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Yeh, everything is fine, I just need to rest for some days now ;) But sure I must confess I do miss this ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Worry not. I'm planning on updating WM5SE to AKU 3.3 and keep it as simple as it can get. No extras on it. I'll be releasing 2 flavors:

- WM5SE Rev 5 Vanilla which will be as clean as possible, with the standard apps but updated.

- WM5SE Rev 5 Touch which will have the fancyness.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Just installed the rev 4.

Looks good and seems to work great. With Blackberry Connect (2)

One question howver, on HTC Weather.

In what direction should I look for solutions to make it work (via GPRS).

HTC Weather works on the HTC Touch (same network as my Wizard), so whats the issue?

btw: I used your patched HTCHome and I deleted the reg key. neither worked.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Raithlin:
:cool: Looking forward to this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] corky_aloof:
Great work, dferreira! I've tried many of the popular roms and I am most impressed with the speed and functionality of WM5SE. Another favorite is TNT's rom series, but I have no need for the inflated resources of WM6, so I'm glad to see you are basing your rom on the zippy WM5.

Cant wait to try your next release. Keep up the great work!:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Another (irritating) minor: The looks of Home in landscape is eh.....strange.

Anyway to fix that?

I think I read something on thsi somewhere, but can't find it anymore. Seems specific for thsi ROM because the (original) Touch of mywife does not have the issue.

Question: Can we change the Icons of the Tabs of Home?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] X-man germ:
Praise to dferreria

dferreira,

I loaded your (without any doubt, the best) ROM yesterday and I am very pleased. Your ROM has released new life to my xda o2 Mini S. I was using my Nokia N93 just a tad to much. Now I use both everyday. Once again, thank you very much and please keep up this level of cooking.

X-man germ
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
From what Ive read, when we connect, a proxy is applied to the server of the weather, making it not to work via GPRS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Hum... the landscape works without a problem here :confused: can you make a screenshot to see what gives on your side?

Yes, you can change them :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Here you go

(currently using the patched HTCHome.dll)

The two grey-ish bars on the sides look very weird.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
I read that too, but why is it that a stock device (Touch) on the same network CAN use weather via GPRS?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Right....lol.

Do you know how, ehm: How can i change the icons on the Home tabs? ;-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Actually that is not a problem of the HTC Home but the theme you are using, that is missing the landscape sized background.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
My guess is that the porting of HTC Home Plugin to WM5 was not as successfull as they wished. Somewhere on the .dll there must be something missing, not making it possible to use GPRS connection for updating... I never got it to work via GPRS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
You can do it manually, by replacing the HH_xxx icons that you'll find in \Windows\ folder or you can use HTC Home Customizer, tho it might break the functionality of it...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mick.j:
This is the first time that I have flashed my Wizard and all has gone well, a couple of moments of tension as the pauses seemed just a little too long. :)

First, I made backups and gained a familiarity accessing the ROM Zones using WST (thanks mestrini), I started with a rev 1.-- ROM so updated to rev. 2 IPL, SPL and Radio zones using the TMOUK ROM Rev. 2.26 following the "How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!" (thanks Vippie).

I gave myself the slider volume control back by removing the startup link for Softkey, I did read the Softkey topic for any configuration details but from what I see there is no UI although there is a version that leaves the slider as the volume control. Previously I used "aebuttons" for button assignments and I will probably install again.

A couple of points.

1. This is probably not specific to this ROM, when installing CABs there is a button for installing on the MiniSD Card. Selecting this does not work. Previously I used cabinstl_en which I will re-install but am wondering if this is a generic problem with WM5 or something specific. Add: Note that sometimes the install fixes the destination folder so may account for what I am seeing.

2. I use PeekPocket, previously it would display signal strength in units of one but with this ROM I find that it is displaying WiFi signal strength in multiples of 10. I see that the Battery charge Icon on the top bar also works in steps of 10 and I wondered if there is a bizarre connection but more likely is just coincidental. Would add though that WiFI connectivity seems better than with the old Rev 1.-- ROM. :)

So, all in all no real problems and have been using for two weeks or so without any crashes.

Many thanks to all.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zzoinks:
Thanks for the advice. I installed securew2 from the link you provided, but I can't find where to configure it.

Does it create an icon in "programs", or is it a driver that I need to somehow configure? I tried looking around securew2.com for info but didn't really find anything.

Thanks,

-Brett.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
You can configure it when it detects an WIFI spot :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zzoinks:
Thanks for the tip. I ended up changing the channel on my router from 9 to 11 which seemed to help... maybe it was an interference issue.

I just created another problem for myself: I installed the "HTC Home Plugin Customizer v0.8b" in hopes of tweaking the home plugin to only have 4 tabs instead of the default 6. Now I'm regretting it because I also managed to screw up the appearance by choosing "original" thinking it would be your version as installed in this ROM.

Is there any way to revert to your version/skin of the HTC Home plugin w/o reflashing?

Thanks!

-Brett.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
You can uninstall HTC Home Plugin Customizer, it should revert back to original looks. If you want to display only 4 tabs, you can do it via registry:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHome\Tabsetting

You'll find there 1,2,3,4,5,6 which are the numbers of the tabs. Say that you want to remove the weather tab, because it doesn't work: 1,2,4,5,6.

Exit TotalCommander, open it again to see if it saved your settings, softreset :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Ok guys, as of now, I'm working on WM5SE Reloaded.

I'll take AKU 3.3 from TMO, strip it and clean it, update the software that comes with it for the latest versions, debug it, fix it and improve it. Once its ready, I'll create a new thread.

About the looks, I'm redesigning the dialer and also the commanager. The black is still the choice of color, since it consumes less battery. HTC Home Plugin will be gone, as well the Cube. So I'm aiming on having still the scrolling with fingers active (if I manage to make it work on AKU 3.3 this time...), but no CUBE/HTC Home plugin/Touched stuff.

That should give you the liberty to choose whatever Home plugins you'd like, keeping also as much free memory as possible. The Cube, tho it looks great to see something different, its useless. Those you wish to keep the Touched look, can use Rev 4, which as been stable as we know :)

I'm going on a totally different direction now... not following a new device looks, but keeping Wizard as simple and sexy as it looks, inside out, like when we bought it for the first time :)

I hope you guys enjoy my ROM as much I enjoyed building it ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eloo:
Sound like a dream ROM for me, I will keep looking each day. No cube and home plugin sound great! Thanks!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zzoinks:
No such luck. I uninstalled it this morning but I'm still stuck with the same look it gave the HTC Home plugin. For instance, I'm stuck with these icons instead of yours:

Is there any way to rescue your (really beautiful) implementation/skin for the home plugin?

Any way to export the settings to a .reg that I could run? If not, I'll consider it a learning experience and try to backup/reflash/restore to get your home plugin back.

Thanks for your help,

-Brett.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamejester:
Hummm, doesn't sound like anything new to me. Faria's ROM is AKU 3.3, is very clean and has been around for ages; you can find it sticky in this forum.

I think this one is GREAT and have been using from the start, I switched from Faria which I used for 6months +

What I liked about this ROM was it's ability to use it without a stylus.

My stylus holder is broken as I am sure most peoples are now, so I have just given up on using one (yes I know I can fix it and have seen the rubber method!)

I disagree that the cube is useless, it gives very convenient stylus free picture dialling - yes the media side is a waste.

I like using my phone without a stylus and have customised this ROM to make it fully finger friendly. This combo I think is the ultimate stylus free ROM:

This base ROM

Cube is great for quick calling

+ Slide2Unlock - good auto locker + display panel with clock, appointments, sms, calls, etc..... Just what you need to see as soon as you turn on your phone.

- HTC home plugin (don't need this with cube and slide2unlock)

+ Pocket CM, great finger friendly contacts manager

+ Battery Status, good for app profile linked overclocking

+ XnView Pocket for viewing photos (it is free)

+ Core TCPMP for playing vids (the last free one)

+ different Java midlet manager, the one in your rom does not work with gmail applet.

Then 2 apps worth paying for

+ PhoneAlarm - Auto location profiling; detects I am work by cell ID and switches my phone into work mode (normal ring tone, lower volume, etc..)

+ Pocket Breeze - today plugin that uses all available space to show appointments, etc...

I would still like to see a version 5 of this ROM that has just a few things removed to save memory.

- HTC plugin

- Games, tetris!

- eJava, perhaps replace with a better midlet manager

also would it be possible to free up more Program run memory??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Yes, I know about Faria's AKU 3.3, but TMO has a more recent OS + fixes :) 3.8.x.x something.

I'm aiming for a cleanup and updated ROM, without any fashion trend.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] corky_aloof:
Does this mean you are going in a different direction than your previous post about a two flavor release?

"- WM5SE Rev 5 Vanilla which will be as clean as possible, with the standard apps but updated.

- WM5SE Rev 5 Touch which will have the fancyness."

IMO, full versions are popular because there seems to be far too many essential apps the average person likes to use on their wizard to install separately.

I am very excited about the reloaded version you are working on but would miss a full version of it something awful.

Looking forward to it and keep up the good work!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:

Can Not Flash ROM

I have tried this many times. I just can't get it to work. I even flashed the HTC/Cingular ROM back in just so there wouldn't be any installed programs or reg tweeks that might get in the way.

Everything goes fine until I get to the bootloader screen (color bars). I get an ERROR 260 saying there is a communication error between my phone and the PC. I have followed the recovery steps many times. Every time I take out the battery and restart, it boots up to Cingular WM5.

When the RUU starts the flash process and my phone goes to bootloader mode, my PC chimes a few times like it does when you disconnect the USB cable from the phone under normal operation. Is this an indication that the connection was lost? The bootloader screen

does

say USB at the bottom by the way.

Could someone please help. I am very excited to finally get rid of this bloated Cingular ROM!

Make sure you have a copy of MDA ROM

Im very new to this RUU and ROM thing. I have a unlock MDA not CID unlocked MDA.

I choose the CID UNLOCKED to get OP's Rom. It went 99% and it will not complete. All I got was tri color mode. after reboot the phone. This was a big mistake.

Which is not too bad because phone was not completely dead. I search and search over 40hrs to find info about fixing this phone. Everyone is saying wizard love rom will do the fix. It will not install on to the phone because it has a rom version problem.

I end up have a thought, I went back to t-mobile website and try to find my original rom. Bingo, that was a real fix to get my phone back. Because of the incident, I really learn more.

If you still have a account with T-mobile go to this website.

for those getting stuck in bootloader mode...

This applies to G3 devices...

1. To get out of bootloader: Flash back to a factory ROM from your service provider - you should not need an ActiveSync connection for this.

2. Follow the instructions provided by dferreira in the first post of this thread. This includes visiting the link to the CID unlocking instructions, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=263116. In those instructions it says to "downgrade" to the Button ROM - this is highly advised! Do not try any other ROM so you can minimize the variables that are likely causing the bootloader/error 260 issues.

3. CID unlock as instructed in the same thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=263116.

4. Do not do anything differently from the instructions provided by dferreira in the first post of this thread.

5. Do not do anything differently from the CID unlocking instructions provided by faria at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=263116.

6. Install dferreira's ROM and be happy, happy, happy.

I am experiencing a very quick battery drain. My Wizard does not hold a day (= 12 hours!) without charging now. With previous ROM's (both AKU 3.2 and AKU 3.3) I could leave it for the weekend before charging...

Anyone having the same experience?

I dont see effect on having an open GPRS connection (Blackberry Connect). Maybe some background process??

I keep having Activesync popping up, wil fix that today, maybe thats the cause....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I've got a battery drain of 33mA (checked with BatteryStatus), and the battery lasts for about 5 days +/-. Maybe something you installed ? Now come to think of it, since I don't use the cube, I've removed from startup the links for biotouch etc, leaving only poutlook. Don't worry that finger scrolling will work as usual, you'll have more memory free tho and less battery drain :)

See if that helps ;)

PS: Rev 5 is gonna be cool =]
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eloo:
