2 questions

Hello

This is a really nice upgrade Thank you!

My x50v was really lagging like hell untill i got this update...

Now I was wondering if anyone had the MSN messenger cab file to send to myself or had another link as rapid share sucks big time.

Im also wondering if there is a program like the "switcher bar" on this wm6 rom?

As if I have alot of programs running then I have to always go to the memory and end all current programs...

and if you can email the msn cab file that would be cool

my email is "sillsgreg@hotmail.com"

Thanks From Canada:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satani:
well, will there be another update build? as you, Maglite_RUS, have A04?

what's fixed or improved compared to A02 and when may we expect a new build for us? (as for me, active sync, for example sometimes doesn't work completely, it sometimes won't connect, as written before.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
Here is the Windows Live that I'm currently using and works fine.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/yj76u8

No switcher bar :| but you've many programs there to do that, free and no free, I'm using HandySwitcher, not free but for me it is a very good program.

WM6 A04？？？
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meklord:
To learn more, go back to page 36,

but to recap, maglite has said that it is not ready for release, and we'll just have to be patient.

personally ao2 is working like a dream, and i appreciate the hell out of it,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
Not now guys... :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kunteper:
maglite, can you give us some insight as to what is different in A04 ?

bug fixes / visual changes ?

BTW, I have noticed that every time I hard reset the system takes on a different personality. the last time it was very snappy.. I was really happy with it, something happened that I had to hard reset, now with the same apps installed is is like WM5 ... this has happened enough times to make the conclusion that with each hard reset the system reacts different ... :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] climber_1979:
I can all kinds of trouble upgrading my Axim X50v with the pre-requisites for the WM6 upgrade, namely the WM2005 A01 and A02 ROM upgrades. When the upgrade is done through ActiveSync you have to perform a hard reset of the device after the first stage. Unfortunately, I could never get Activesync to recognise the device until I rebooted and so I couldn't complete both stages.

The solution was to uninstall ActiveSync 4.5 and to install ActiveSync 4.2 and then to install the A01 and A02 ROM upgrades and then follow the instructions on the thread for WM6.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers!

alright mine has been dead for awhile so i will prolly sell it for parts unless i can get it working again by some miracle. does anyone know a way to format the flash storage on the device through a boot up utility on an sd card, because my unit hangs at 20 percent and when i go to re flash it with either wm5 or wm6 in the sd loader it hangs on erasing storage, but at different locations in each. and the odd thing is, that the whole unit passes the built in diagnostic test. i would really love to use it again.

Hello everyone,

I am just another X50v user and today I have upgraded to WM6...and it looks so great.

I still have a possible "issue" with Activesync...it is connected but no files are transfered.

Any hints?

I would like to Maglite for this nice release.

10x,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mnbob1:
Works great!

Thanks to all who have made this version of WM! I have been dealing with a sluggish WM5 version on my Axim x50v. I upgraded to WM6 and it is like a miracle! The increase in speed is incredible. I have reloaded all of my apps and they are all working well.

Thanks for a quality app. I wish that manufacturers could do as well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] westerdaled:
Well you are doing better than me. Yes, the Maglite upgrade was easy and I was able to reload my old apps from the ActiveSyc menu ( which was really neat).

I have set the speed to 624Mhz and still it runs really slooooowwwwww:mad: esp in PI 2007

I would be interested to hear if you if you have done any reg tweaks or the apps you are running.

Excellent Update

Thanks to Maglite, I have downloaded WM6 and installed on my Dell Axim X50v. Everything works now after minor teasing problems with the exception of Axim Wireless Keyboard. :o

I have tried installing the WM2003SE version that came with my Dell Axim, unfortunately driver does not work with WM6 upgrade.

Any clues please anyone?

Kind Regards

Hibble 2007

Problem is resolved by downloading a new driver from http://www.thinkoutside.com/support/Drivers.asp - Hope this link will help those X50v users who might have a Dell Wireless Keyboard with similar compatibility issues.

installing wm6 a02

A few points that should be noted:

1. wifi + power can be pressed even when the Axim is switched on.

2. I pressed the action buttons more than twice.

3. SD card need to be reformated to fAT32.

I've tested async with USB and bt.

when syncing using bt make sure that there is no serial port installed .

The latest PlE is much better than opera.

It has a high resolution mode which allows the complete display just as in Pc while not suffering from any distortion.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kunteper:
anyone else have this problem ? (Is this the alarm problem people are talking about ?)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Aaaaaaaaaaahh. Just kidding. Kunteper, I don't really know. Are you running a high resolution mode? Maybe, like it says. You have too many programs running in the background, or that high resolution itseklf sucks the memory out of your pda. I don't use that high-res, it gave me too many problems far back in WM5.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wizard_mini:
There is some strange files in "windows\active sync" folder, and all files are 1GB. Can you check it ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Xdenwarrior, the size of the pagepool does not have any direct correlation to Filesys.exe (compaction thread). On what basis do you make the assumption that a small pagepool has an effect on Filesys.exe. Most people would tend to agree with this: If you make a statement (technical or otherwise), you better be able to back it up. So, please, explain to me and others why pagepool size directly affects compaction. I would love to learn something new.

Why does this not surprise me? Yes, you are very picky -- nothing new there.

Do you honestly need to open "Help" on your Axim? Or, are you just trying to create more extraneous work for MagLite while making yourself look special for finding a "bug" in Help.

Again, with the alarm thing...I created a new thread for alarm discussion as there are many users who do not use alarm functions and there is no need to clutter the thread with alarm issues.

Ringtones? Wait, now I'm lost. (:p) I thought this was a thread for Axim X50v. Did we all of the sudden get cell phone capability on our Axims?!?! (:p) Xdenwarrior, why don't you do some reading about the different versions of WM6? After you're done with that, read MagLite's first post in this thread and tell me if it says WM6 Classic or something else. It would be good for you to better understand what you are installing on your Axim. ;)

Wow, I'm confused again...I thought you just named off several nit-picky issues. Decide what you think about the ROM, Xdenwarrior! If it seems like a finalized version to you, quit posting picky posts. But, either way, make up your mind. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefano92:
Hello all,

I think that there is a random bug (seems to me as being random) with sounds. I hard reset my device to have a clean system and without any other soft installed, sounds went out after a moment. They came back for a few seconds after an off/ on and desappears again. I had no such issue with WM5 A01 and 02 nor with WM6 releases until the RC2 and the RTM.

I suspect driver to interfere with some other task.

Does someone experienced similar troubles ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pigboy306:
My battery went completely on mine today left home full charged, got to work 6 house later... memory error and it kept shutting off. Came home plugged in and it stays on.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

I just installed this last night and I have to jump in here and say this is very nice.

I was on 2003SE and went thru the various stages to get here and the installation went very smooth indeed.

I went thru and got the sounds working thru the sounds and notifications and went well, no problems with sounds dropping out.

The processor is also not stuck at full throttle either.

Wireless is working great here also and no issues of losing the connection at all.

Things are working great for me except for the occasional slowdown that is very manageable and not unlike I would get back on 2003SE.

Someone spoke of issues with SPB Clone and having issues with it, I had issues with SPB Backup on 2003SE just a few days ago.

I went to do a backup, this is on 2003SE and the backups I had said they were for a different device than the one I am using and would just freeze the pda at the dell screen.

Not sure what the issues are as I have not run anything new and just last week did a restore and it did the restore fine then.

I have been hearing nice things on Sprite Backup with WM06 so I am going to try this and see if I have better luck.

Have to say thank you as this works great as compared to the WM05 rom which was very nice but caused me enough issues so I stepped back to 2003Se until this update and no plans to step back as this is working great for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gadianton:
I echo this. No major problems with WM6. A few minor inconveniences, but frankly, I've had those with all MS ppc OSes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] harpooner:
Thanks Maglite for your excellent work.

Successfully hexedited the nbo file of the A02 rom to give myself a 6MB pagepool which is slightly larger than Maglite's 4MB, as I do tend to run multiple applications at the same time on my axim. I have downloaded all my applications, this time all onto the SD card, as recommended by many axim experts, to keep the filesys ferocity minimised. Filesys wear leveling still kicks in from time to time but it is certainly less frequent, and when it does it lasts for a shorter period of time. So, a definite recommendation to everyone who wants less menace from filesys: please install as many things as possible on your SD card, and keep all write operations to your main storage memory to a minimum.

Apart from a few minor things I am truly pleased with this rom, and it has certainly brought a new life to my pda. With WM6 now fine tuned by Maglite, the X50V lives on. I am truly amazed at how versatile this device has been through the years.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefano92:
Hello,

I would just tell to everybody who has eratic sound issues, to reflash with the RTM again. This is what I did and sounds came back and stays stable. Appart this issue last night, this RTM release is amazing.

Filesys effects could be neutralised a little with the activesync fake server.

Thanks Maglite for your excellent work.

Maglite, by the way, now that the RTM is released, do you have some other projects for the X50V ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
More importantly, is there going to be an A03? I know Mag doesn't owe us anything and his work thus far has been nothing short of amazing, but I still have the memory error issue (left in standby it will fail to turn on -- or when it does it gives a memory error -- alarms will fail to trigger, and it will drain the battery after a random amount of time -- typically after an hour or two.) I'm going to have to re-flash to PR1, because this problem didn't exist there, and I need my alarms -- not to mention having it drain the battery in standby causes it to be relatively unusable if I take it anywhere without a travel charger and access to an outlet.

I don't know what causes it but it's been there since WM2003, so I suspect it has something to do with filesys triggering while in standby and going into an infinite loop or encountering an error or something, which prevents events from waking the device up. I can't see it being anything I'm running -- I'm only running Wisbar Advance 3, SBSH WeatherPanel, and Chronos Clock. Nothing else has been installed, and they worked fine under PR1 (and possible PR2, though I didn't try that one.)

Please go there and post if you have issue with the alarms not working.

This is the link.

For all the people with alarm issues, there is just the one reply to the start of the thread.

Use it, it is there for replies so this issue gets looked at.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Ok, cavyman, why were you criticizing my last post? Those 3 questions i brought up as i said are very minor. I don't really care about "cannot open help" error myself, but just wanted to double check if maglite is aware of it, and so that others wouldn't ask about it. My second question is not a bug, i just can't figure out how to enable Alarms 1, 3, 4 to be used also along with Alarm 2, and 5. I can see them in Windows folder, but they not there to pick from in alarm settings. And instead of answering me you are just trying to send me to another thread. And yes, my third question was kind of off topic. Well, actually, I meant 'to use one of my mp3 songs and set it up to use for alarm, not ringtone.' Sorry.

About the pagepool size, everyone has their own opinions.

If you even look at Brighthand.com, solnyshok, says this:

And about the compaction thread, hey that was my hypothesis based on using my device with different PPs as maglite narrowed it down to 4mb (i might be wrong); i never said that it's a fact, but i don't think that the way providers set their device pagepool (for example Dell Axim x51v knowing its architecture) very often to 8mb is just a coincidence!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Does this mean you will try to solve it in your next release? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefano92:
I am pretty sure that there is a remaining bug with sounds. Yesterday after hard resetting and reinstalling my device, sounds were there and rock stable during hours (click on screen, video with sound on TCPMP etc ...). I left my Dell all night long charging (happy that sounds came back) and this morning sounds went out again.

Sometimes when clicking on the screen I can heard a biginning of a sound immediatly cutted by something (like a short cut). Same in TCPMP where a video starts without sounds and after few seconds, sound appears for 1-2 sec and disappears again.

Is there any possibility that a timeout parameter has influence on that ?

Or the sound driver interfering with another task (IO or IRQ issue?).

Am I the only having this issue which I consider as being major for a multimedia device like the X50V ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefano92:
There is a patched filesys (patchedfilesys.exe available at aximsite.com) for WM5. It does not work with WM6 unfortunately
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
I don't work in Dell, I don't work in Microsoft, I don't have instruments to patch this "bug", I don't know way to patch this "bug"... :mad:

Если ты такой умный, то попробуй сам решить эту проблему - тысячи пользователей X50v будут тебе благодарны! Я этого сделать не могу, потому что не знаю как!

Что тебе непонятно?

И еще раз, я не собираюсь изменять размер PP. 4 МБ для меня и большинства пользователей вполне приемлимо, если ТЫ хочешь больше - пожалуйста, бери HEX редактор и меняй.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefano92:
Sound issue closed. Works fine now. I found posts explaining the issue on X51v. It is randow hardware issue with the jack. Nothing to do with WM6.

Regarding the filesys issue, there is a well knows trick called fake server. Maybe a registry hack could set automatically the schedule options of activesync to manual (don't know where, but will chek if it works) avoiding to do the trick manually. Filesys seems to be quieter in such case (don't know why , but it works).

Thanks again to Maglite.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hometownnerd:
Up and running!!

Thanks for the help, I was trying to do it with a full sdcard so I copied it all over to the PC and then did a format from within Resco explorer, since I do not have a card reader yet, and then placed the two files on my sdcard and low and behold worked like everyone said.

That being said.....I just want to thank everyone who worked on this ROM, it blows the socks off of WM5 which I stinking paid for. You have given me my device back, and everything I used to do with WM5 I can still do with WM6, it is sooooo sweet!! And battery life has increased so much that I cannot believe it, I was beginning to wonder if the ROM was broken in its ability to find battery % it was dropping so slowly!!

Again, THANKS A BUNCH for this ROM and the work you have put into it!

Great appreciation

I really appreciate the hard work and effort that Maglight out in to this rom, I dont have any bugs or problems at all installation, config everything went smooth as silk. Been using it for about 3 weeks I am very grateful to Maglight for reviving my pocket pc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juanpa74:
Ok. This could be a stupid question or it might have been answered before.

My Axim was working quite well with the WM5 by Maglite (12Mb pool).

Then I tried WM6 A02 (4Mb pool) and found it to we worst than the WM5.

Then tried the WM6 A02 (0Mb pool) and also had trouble with that (slow).

Of course I always try to install programs on CF Card and apply hacks and redirect PIECache and so...

The question is why is 4Mb pool or 0Mb better than 12Mb? Why was it reduced with WM6?

I am thinking about trying a WM6 with 8Mb or 12Mb pool and see how it goes.

Have anybody tried that?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Antineutrino:
Because a big Page Pool is a waste of Memory...

If you have a memory hog application , you can barely run it...

To define the size of the Page Pool is to understand your real need...

A bigger one will make faster the loading of the code of the application but the execution speed will be the same... A lot of free memory insted will allows you to run every resource demanding application.
