- How to enable more languages on PhonePad?

- Open TotalCommander

- \\Plugins

- registry

- HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\IntelliPad\

- Now delete all the Library# (where # is a number)

- Edit Languages and put 20 -> this is the limit of files to look for

- LibraryCount and put 20

- PreLanguages and set to 1

Reboot the phone :) There ya go, more languages to choose from on the input options ;)

Since yesterdayI have an issue that occurred last week once or twice (but is now persistent):

When my active profile is 'Normal' and my calendar has an 'active' appointment, my phone switches to Vibrate. It never switches back though. (in fact the behaviour that should occur when the 'automatic' profile is on)

Anyone has the same behaviour or knows a way to get rid of this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I disabled the profiles tab, since I can change it on top bar in volume icon... HTC Home Plugin, although it works on WM5, its not perfect due to the hex editing of the htchome.dll to make it work, along the way some funcionality is lost. Another issue is the time 12h format that only lasts until you change the regional settings, after that it stays in 24h format.

Want an advice? Don't use HTC Home Plugin... there are free and much better options to replace it and don't take half of the screen display :\
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
mmm, Guess te advice for me is to disable the profiles tab again.

Pity, I liked it's 'supposed' functionality.

I dont have an issue with the 24h 'feature' since I always use 24h time format...

All in all what I like best in your ROM is:

- HTC Today (pity its a bit cripple)

- Finger scrolling

- Overall looks (including the animated wait-cursor!)

- Memory footprint

Things I don't like in your ROM:

- Battery drain (seems indeed to be caused by Cube), now worked around by not using Cube.

- GPRS behaviour (it's AKU 3.2 specific): The ROM can have only one APN connection active at any time. AKU3.3ROM's can have multiple APN connections (ie Blackberry and Internet) active simultaneously. This means now my BBC connection is dropped when i start using PIE and eventually is picked up again when PIE is terminated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Then I suppose that Rev 5 will make you happy :) I'll do my best to release it as soon as possible ;)

About the profiles, you can install PhoneAlarm, if I'm not mistaken it supports better Profile managment.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
I removed biotouch link etc. from start up and gained about 5meg, sad thing is though I leak about 5meg in 24hr period.

dferreira - could you clarify, will Rev5 be stripped down version or are you stripping it and then filling it back up before release.

Is it possible to delete features of rev 4 that we dont use like the cube?

if so what are they and how do we do it.

Edsub - SPB phonesuite has some good features including profiles.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Rev 5 - Reloaded will be the Vanilla from my ROM, meaning no extras, only the standard apps but updated/fixed. I will release it and if everything working, I'll release a new filled up ROM - WM5SE Rev 6 - still no name for it.

About cleaning up Rev 4... its only possible to do it by editing the ROM itself... But I'm already doing this, but on AKU 3.3 ;) So Rev 5 will be an update on the OS itself too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Sounds great I can't wait.

"WM5SE Rev 6 - still no name for it." do you mean like "Vista" etc.

Maybe we should have some suggestions for a name?

Maybe something that reflects the speed of this rom say "velocity".
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I was thinking WM5SE-B25 (Back to 5) :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] baklavoni:
Few questions after first rom flashing... ;)

Hi to all.

I'm newbie to all this rom flashing, and I have some questions regarding this WM5SE rev 4.0 rom.

I have sucessfuly flashed my T-Mobile MDA Vario (Wizard) with this rom. Everything was OK.

After taping and screen aligment, Customization tool started on device.

After instaling black theme, sdk certs and htc home it started to install .Net compact 2.0 and when it reaches 100% device just restarted without asking me anything.

It started regularly (with black boot screen "HTC welcome", and following regularly blue screen Windows Mobile.

Device started completely, but WITHOUT Htc Home Tab, Cube, and that cool SMS one hand keyboard.

Not to mention that everything else from list of changes in this rom wasn't installed.

So what to do? How can I get full install of this rom?

I bought my Wizard in Croatia from local T-Mobile resseler.

Hope anyone can help.

p.s. I have another problem. I have install HTC Home manually, and device after every restart won't start. It stuck in blue screen with Windows Mobile.

I found solution... Just plug charger in device and restart again. Than device start regularly with HTC Home installed and running. But I'm not carrying my charger all the time with me... :P ... so if my device need restart, I'm in trouble.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
If you flashed the ROM and you got your old OS on it, it means that you haven't followed the instructions about CID Unlocking. Only after CID Unlocking, you'll be able to replace the ROM. CID Unlock is different from SIM Unlock, its a restriction by the manufacturer that prevents you from using other ROMs other than theirs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] baklavoni:
Your'e right! :)

I haven't followed right tutorial.

Tought that CID and SIM unlocked is the same thing... :o

Thanks!

Will try later again, but this time hopefully it will work :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Welcome to Wizard flashing world :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] damdismoo:
my tmobile mda is stuck on the red green blue and white screen! what do i do?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Flash back your original ROM or WizardLove ROM. That should make it boot again...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Rev5 being based on AKU 3.3 is REALLY good news.

Does Vanilla still mean it has fingerscrolling?

I hope the reg-tweaks from Rev4 are still in (as for some extra tweaks I applied myself, I can sent them if you want)

I guess Vanilla does mean it wont have HTCHome?

And WinCECommander?

What is Important for me is that the ROM has the SAME OS version as Rev4. The reason for this is that BlackBerry Connect needs that.

And for the name...I vote for "Velocity" for the Rev5 as well (if it still has velocity off course, lol) Remember this is the ultimate WM5 ROM for Wizard so dont be too modest when choosing a name.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I'm flashing as we speak a release candidate of Rev 5. The fingerscrolling is a must, I simply can't live without it now :D All the Touch will be gone, for the Vanilla and extra software. It will be a ROM for those who like to choose what to put in. Also its good for me so that I have a solid base to build Rev 6 on :)

About the reg tweaks, yes they will be there, and if you have some to add, post them here so that I can put them on Rev 5 ;)

The OS version you need is? I'll figure out how to change it, just tell me the numbers you need :)

About "Velocity"... hum I guess I'll stick to that!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
:D :D :D :D

Finally! I cracked finger scrolling on AKU 3.3!!! Working perfectly on AKU 3.3, there's no issue hitting the OK/X button too!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Nice one:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Gr8 news!!!

OS 5.1.195 (lol just saw your WM5SE in the about!!!) This (together with an AKU level of .2.0.0 which should be set by the user anyway) version makes the ROM compatible with Blackberry Connect 2.1.2.31 (wich is the latest WM5 generally compatible client).

I documented the versionhacking "from the outside" on this Wiki page:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_version_hack

BTW: I am looking into the HTCHome Weather via GPRS thing with N2A. . . . .

Will post reg-tweaks tomorrow.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Das.Flaigsi:
Hi i have some problemes with my device.

The system crashes almost every day. if i plug in the data cable, if i get an incoming call.

How can i disable the cube?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Thats weird... no one has those issues :( Maybe a bad flash ? try flashing the ROM again...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Raithlin:
Just a quick note - I had a work associate drop his Wizard off with me, asking for the same ROM I had (WM5SE Rev4). First time I had ever flashed a G4 device, and it took me about 4 hours to read through all the content on the forum, but said associate is now the proud owner of a WM5SE-flashed Wizard. :cool:

Thanks again to all that have shared their knowledge. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Here you go.

This cab contains the platformxxx.reg I use with my WM5SEr4. Is has quite a lot of tweaks commented out because i saw you allready had them in the base ROM.

The ones needed are imho:

-Enable Wireless Today item

-Enable GPS (beware, I havent done the complete tweak in the REG because I cant delete keys there. maybe you can really fix itb in the ROM)

-Show Operatorname based on SIM (not completely sure about the effect in -AKU 3.2. Worked ok in AKU3.3)

-Browserperformance

-Disable Load SIM data

-GPRS Disconnectbutton (3sec end key)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Thanks, I'll look into them ;) I'm here trying to get HTC Album to work, but its not going to be an easy task... Will try to replace the default camera/pimg program with the new soft from Touch Dual. Internet Sharing and 10 Button commanager is already ok, so as A2DP.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mda2:
a few questions

Dear dferreira,

I've been using your ROM (r4) since September. It's great! Just a few questions I haven't found answer in FAQ section on the first page (just wasn't able to read all 50 pages):

1) Seems I can only increase/decrease volume using the side button in Today screen, not in any application window. Is there anyway to make it work? E.g. when I run TCPMP I have to switch to today screen before I turn off screen.

2) Turning on/off wifi is not as convenient as in the past: you can't touch the screen (the signal bar) and turn it on/off: you have to press the side button first. Is there any way to get that feature back?

3) One annoying thing is: if I turn off volume (or use vibrate), every time I after I finish editing an item in the Calendar, the volume will turn on automatically. Is there any fix?

Thanks for the great ROM and look forward to your help :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
1 - This is because of SmartKeys, that takes control of the volume slider so that you can scroll up/down on IE. You can remove the SmartKeys from \Windows\StartUp folder and then reboot. That will give your slider back its functionality.

2 - This will be back with AKU 3.3, Rev 5 of this ROM, soon to be released.

3 - This is a known bug from AKU 2.3 (which is the ROM I based WM5SE Rev1,2,3,4). It will be too fixed with AKU 3.3.

Glad to see that finally I've done something I'm proud of :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mda2:
Yes you should be very, very proud of yourself! :D

I just thought about another question: when rev 5 is released, what's the best way to upgrade from rev 4 (or earlier release) w/o re-installing all apps? Could you please put that in the FAQ section when you have time?

Thanks. You have a good one!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Unfortunatly by flashing the ROM, all your apps will be gone, there's nothing we can do about it :(

You can flash Rev 5 over Rev 4,3,2,1 :)

Btw, wallpaper for new rev :cool:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
- Office 6.1 + OneNote Mobile completed...

- HTC Album on WM5, instead of pimg.exe, completed...

I'll testdrive the ROM, probably will release new version tomorrow ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zzoinks:
I know it's not directly related to your ROM, but I figure you do enough ROM updating that you might have some insight.

Do you have any tips for backup/restore of data that can be done to minimize the impact of an upgrade?

For instance, I've been using the PIM Backup utility included in Rev4 and selecting everything on the list of available backups. Is there anything else I could do before installing the soon-to-be-release rev5 that would make the transition easier? Any way to easily backup other stuff like the owner info, selected ring style, wifi connection info, etc?

Thanks,

-Brett.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
Great question. I have a full system backup using SKTools, which is supposed to be used only if one does a hard reset. Not sure if the restoring that backup would still work after the ROM is upgraded.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Hum... usually I just use PIM Backup, since all the other info I don't know how to backup... I don't know how SKTools works... maybe it should be ok :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
Yeah, maybe :)

SKTools can back up the PIM, databases, registry, all files, ActiveSync partnership and Pocket Outlook folders - it can also do all of these as a full system backup. These components can be restored individually as well.

I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work I will just reflash. I would think that everything should be fine except for maybe the registry since not all the same apps would be in the ROM. But then again SKTools has a registry cleaner to find and clean out invalid entries and values.

I think I've just answered my own question by typing the paragraphs above.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Cipher:
did you manage to make HTC Album finally work with gestures? if so, could you make a cab for wm5se rev4 out of it, too?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Not yet... gestures are missing. I'm waiting on Starwong to fix it ;) I just made the OEM package so that its ready to build the ROM. Office 6.1 is working perfectly :) When he fixes it, the cab that he does, should work on rev4.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
The new look of WM5SE will be as attached. Tell me what do you think?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Arrrrhhhh its Green.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Don't like it? :\ Well, you can still choose the allblack skin if you wish :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Its just the colour I don't like (have backed up the allblack.tsk)

I do like the WM5SE5 bit in the corner its about time you give yourself a liitle credit.:D

Sounds great can't wait for tomorrow.:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
You can also edit the smartskey config file to disable the remapping of the volume slider.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
The colour is just amatter of taste. I still prefer the standard Crossbow theme. Until now that theme is the only one that is really complete (ie. the allblack still has some blue-ish things that dont match the rest)

The WM5SE in the corner is OK, but will be overlapped by any active program/service icons (like Blackberry with me).

What I really dont like are the HTCHome tab icons. I like the default icons much better. I think the default icons are much more self-explanatory. Maybe also a matter of taste.

Will HTCToday be in the Rev5 anyway, or should we just use N2A's patched version (that one has the default icons I like)

Some questions:

- Will the dialer in R5 (AKU3.3) show the operator/network name? The AKU3.3 (T-Mobile HR originated) I used before did not show that in the dialer.

- Is the size of the dialer window (blue-ish part that shows operator name, and the dialed numer/name) limited to what is is on rev4? There is a big black space just above it that might be used I guess.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mick.j:
I did some more reading of the smartkeys thread and came across the PDF guide to configuring Smartskey, this includes being able to enable/disable volume slider usage by other apps if required. The PDF can be found in the download zip at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=256525 It requires the editing of smartskey.ini file that this ROM includes in the windows folder.

There are two versions of the download, 0.56 is the version I believe is currently used in version 4 of this ROM.

I must find time to try this out but in the meantime might be of interest to others if not already mentioned anywhere. :)

Edit: Ah, just noticed that Edsub added the same info.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I've corrected this on Rev 5 ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamejester:
quote - edsub - "Will HTCToday be in the Rev5 anyway"

I hope not, I do not think it should be in a clean ROM (or any ROM!), I personally do not use it as it wastes a lot of home screen realestate,

if you want a clock, use slide to unlock which is a great screen saver, phone locker, dashboard app.

To get an all black skin try this .tsk file.

Switching to it then back to the v4 allBlack.tsk seems to fix the blue bits.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] derkesthai:

Glad the weekend is here to play
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Off topic

Apologies for going off topic but I thought I'd ask while we're waiting.:rolleyes:

Edsub - I noticed in your sig that you have 15th gen dual sim:

can I take it there is enough space in the back to accept the second sim?.

I have considered getting one but thought the back cover is a snug fit and not leaving any room for the second sim.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I can't release my ROM yet because it still has some issues I need to fix. I always like to test the ROM before releasing it, otherwise it will happen like rev2,3 which weren't stable.

Sorry guys, but touchflo isn't working quite well on AKU 3.3... I can't get to Settings folder when using it, still have to find out why... probably memory access errors... maybe... Let me fix this and I'll release it :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Ive found the HTC home plugin draws 6mb of memory and then leaks another 5mb over the next 24 hours.

I've stopped using it and my device has stayed at 18mb free for two days so far concluding that it must be the HTC home plugin.

I already have launchers and profiles so most of the plugin is wasted.

I do like the big bright clock on the home screen but can't do with the mem leak.

I'll have to find something that displays a similar clock without the rest of the stuff.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Don't worry about the clock, I've included something lighter and better IMHO :)

Hey dferreira,

I just wanted to say Thanks! for this great ROM! I have flashed both my Wizard and my wife's (her birthday present this Monday). She loves it!

To share, I wanted to upload my smartskey.ini file that returns the volume function to the slider key, while keeping the left and right softkey functions of Start Menu and Cloe Program. Just unzip this archive, then copy the ini file to the Windows directory on your Wizard. Then do a soft reset, and the slider should control volume in all apps again.

Looking forward to the 3.3 and Wireless Today! Just make sure and tell us newbs how to find and install the Cube and the HTC home stuff, so my wife won't miss it.

Thanks!

-Joe
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Sneak peek :) All you see is included ;) There is also different clock looks, one for the black skin too, which is too included, for those that still want the all black look... touchfloing now...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Spooky!

I use:

Samsung time

spb phonesuite

pocket breeze.

edit just found the clock today after trials with htc home mem usage, loaded it about 5 mins before you posted the screen shot.[plays twilight zone theme]
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
I can minimize pocket breeze and phonesuite just wish I could get a clock to look like the photoshop image in screen1.jpg.

I like a clear screen most of the time but like to be able to view my info quickly when I need to.

s2u2 (screen3.jpg) is kinda what I want the today sreen like.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] derkesthai:
No more HTC Home plugin? But I got used to it :P

Was nice to have it in a TAB in SBP Diary :-) Oh well.. I'll figure it out.. again :) still waiting, but dunno if I can upgrade this weekend (if available...) hope so!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mick.j:
Had a play :) Is this to make the ini file writeable rather than in ROM?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
You won't have any problem to edit it, via PDA, cause I've included Notepad ;) So no more editing on your PC then back to PDA!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
Hello dferreira,

Just wondering if the new ROM would also include a larger image for the dialer (picture caller ID).

Thanks again for the great work!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
My 15th Gen Dual SIM is a cut-type Dual SIM adapter. Tha means you have to cut the two SIMs just round the brass area (I used the special cutter for that), then put them in the adapter wich then goes into the original SIM slot in the phone. It does noet need extra room. Works gr8.

I would really recommend using the special cutter and not try scissors or knife.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
I like the first pic.

I guess the mail and phone icons give access to the missed calls/text messages/emails.

It lacks one thing: a finger friendly launcher.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
I have ILaincher as a tab in pocket breeze (it was minimized).see pic

you can have many diferent ways of being notified of missed calls etc.

In the pic below it just says no missed calls or messages!

Thanks for the info on the dual sim, unfortunately I can't cut the sim because it belongs to my employer (calls only) I want to connect to the net now and again and have to go to McDonalds for free wifi.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
URRAY :D Touchflo problems are solved. It was memory overlaps happening. Also, improved responsiveness of touchpad ;) Overall performance of the ROM is amazing! Much quicker than Rev 4!

How about this stats:

Storage:

Total: 42.55MB Free: 32.50MB

Program:

Total:50.03MB Free:28.64MB

:cool:

Only 2 things missing to get fixed, which is missing ringtones and getting the black back to the rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moochermick:
Woohoo

This is sounding like the perfect rom.
