Hi Sam,

You have just donated a halo above Helloworld1's head, nice. :D

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I suggest you use a registry editor to export the hclm/software/"your specific program", this can help you saving settings of some software for further use. After updated, you can import there registry backups.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Thanks for the suggestion, I am never quite sure about this, some programs could scatter their settings through out the registry?

I will do ROM upgrade less frequent, at this point, there is no major benefits for me to get onto wm6.1, so I will wait for the "perfect" clean 6.1 ROM coming from you :)

May be you can give the BT PAN (not DUN) issue a challenge?

Oh, I still have to go back to wm5 to upgrade the radio... duh... always nervous about doing this kind of thing (lack of confidence).

BTW, under Bugfix of point 7 on your first thread, what does STK stand for or mean?

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Most softwares will store user settings in that place. You can judge if it is the user settings and have a try backing up.

You can read the release note of 0.34 radio. It is really not very beneficial. Staying with 0.33 radio is ok. STK means SIM toolkit, that is a set of tools included in your sim card. Of course the STK can not run natively, a loader is needed. The one in b85 rom is broken, and I have fixed it in new version.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] me101:
Helloworld, i'm currently using one of your older WM6 ROMs (20080309b39) and I was wondering how stable/fast the current WM6.1 ROM is compared to WM6. I'm asking this because I used nhocbanme's WM6.1 ROM a while ago and ran into quite a few problems.. the main one being that the device refused to start after 3 soft resets.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
3-soft-reset problem, emmmmmmmm. That is the problem when I uses my wm6 series rom after updating the radio. Anyway, I don't encounter such problem in my WM 6.1 ROM. The stability is fine. The only stability issue is that the 3rd party today plug-in and input method can not initial correctly after soft reset in a very few case. Reset again will solve this problem.

My rom and nhocbanme's uses different base sources, so maybe you can have a try of my rom.

Bluetooth DUN

Hi Helloworld,

Good news! I got BT DUN working with my MAC finally, it wasn't working before because I followed the instructions from my carrier's website, and is completely different from what I need, plus I need to download a modem script from a some website.

There is one problem however, it will disconnect my GPRS, so the little "G" icon will disappear from above the signal bar, and my MAC will connect direct to the phone's GPRS without showing the "G" icon.

Because of this, SPB GPRS monitor won't be tracking the data too... hmm...

When I tried to do activesync over GPRS while my Mac is online, it will ask me to hang up the phone first, is this the same as yours?

If anyone wants to setup your wm6 6828 to connect to a Mac through BT DUN, let me know, I'll make a new post for this. But this only applies to Optus Australia though, as every carrier is different.

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Glad hearing that.And yes this is the problem of dun profile, it will occupy the gprs connection without using the system wide connection, instead the host computer do all the connection work. So the system wide gprs and dun connection cannot coexist. That is a reason why ms drops dun since wm5 aku3.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Die you deleted the right entry, that is the one have prefix RichEditHostFont, and do a soft reset thereafter? This tweak works well on my device.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Oh I see..., but i can't see why it should bypasses GPRS monitor, on my wife's Samsung i320N (wm5) GPRS monitor works normally though, can keep track of data throughput etc and has that little "G" icon too.

Anyway, I'm happy that it works now.

So any more bugs or improvements to be done on the wm6.1?

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] dennisclt:
I've tried several things to update to wm6.1, but to no avail...

I can't seem to update my RW6815. I tried the update using a 1Gb memory card and the bootloader trick, but after a few minutes of seeing the bootloaderscreen (PBL1.0.5) it just continues to load WM5.

I'm running 2003 server on my pc, and trying to update through the pc way has no results either. Do you háve to use XP?

Also my iPaq is a dutch version, can that be part of the problem?

Thnx for your reply in advance!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] slys3171989:

Any idea how to increase the speed that the green light flashes? It's much slower using this rom (about every 8 seconds), where as on WM5 it flashed about every 3 seconds. When it's orange for a notification it still flashes faster though.

There must be a registry option somewhere..
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I think it is the driver problem.

Flashing slower is more power conserving though.

I have once tried to modify the wm5 registry to set it slower but no use.

The new ROM(b30) looks stable. Camera open smoothly in my 6828.

One question,

What is this 'Microsoft YaHei font to display CJK' glyph means? Any way to remove this font(10MB) since its size is so big so as to save more space, so that the ROM is real big storage and clean.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
It is a font that embedded in rom. It won't affect the real storage and memory but rom space.

Just because I am using this font to display CJK glyph, I embedded in the rom.If more people do not like it, I will remove it in next version.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
It is not 6.1 rom, 6.0 accually.

I am waiting for the official 6.1 release not beta one, so I may modify it.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] edywanwan:
Thanks for your quick reply.

Well actually I m using comic san fonts ( 124 & 108 KB) which I copy from Windows XP pc. Other than that the default font which commonly use in other ROM are tahoma and tohamabold are quite accepted as a default font and easily read. And this Microsoft yahei are quite similar to tahoma( as what I see when set to it) just that the size are smaller.

I also own a hermes flashed with Dragon Clean ROM with 83.58 MB free storage as well also tried other big storage roms but never notice this font before, thats why I ask. I have had my HP 6828 ignored for almost 6 month since then, but your ROM just came to rescue and it is active again with WM6!!!:D

Sorry, but what is CJK glyph and what does it do?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] min1968:
Please keep MSYH if it doesn't affect other function.

Or make two different version with /without it.

Thanks.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
msyh font, CJK Glyph

This font can display larger range of unicode coverage mostly Chinese, Japanese, Korean special character and glyph.

I have used fontforge to replaced this font's English part with Tahoma, so it won't affect the English(and most European language) display. Because, the default is wider and higher than tahoma resulting in cutting parts of the glyph when displayed.

The modified font's name is msyht.ttf,Microsoft YaHei.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Memory consumption and Tahoma font

This rom used tahoma as default font and fontlink to msyht.ttf. So it will mostly use Tahoma font and won't take any memory until you try to display glyphs that isn't in Tahoma. Then system will use msyht.ttf and consume some more font cache memory.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] edywanwan:
Right on!!!!

Thanks for your explanation.

Keep up and keep going:)

Recovering Data

This information is useful for one who want to recover data using a backup software like spb backup or something like that.

You do NOT need to do so if you are doing a fresh install.

If you updated from b29 to b30 do:

1. reinstall all your java apps.

if you updated from b30 to b35 do:

2. Delete the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework] in registry editor like resco registry. Import attached reg file using resco registry(included in resco explorer). If you do not do so, apps like calculator won't work.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] min1968:
I flashed B35, so far so good. Two questions:

1, Is there anyway to turn power on by other buttons? There was an option in settings/button in official WM5, but not this WM6.

2, Is it same way to hardreset as official WM5 (Press and hold the Answer/Send, Power, and End Call, then press the Reset)?

Thanks for great ROM.

Hi,

pda = rw6828

SD card = 1GB Pendrive miniSD (i don't have other. saw that 1GB also can work)

PBL = 1.0.5

I try to flash b92 rom.

1. Copied the diskimg.nb0 into miniSD

2. Create directory "Cabs" in the device and put in the pda-hack.net_rw68xx_ExtROM_emul.cab file

3. Do a soft reset.

Pls don't ask me to flash via pc. I have read the instruction. too complicated. sorry...

Thanks in advance!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Hi,

If you have read the instructions, I suggest you read again, cos you missed a lot of things.

First, you don't need step 2.

Second, step 3 soft reset is wrong, you need to get into boot loader mode, not soft-reset. To do that, hold down left and right "-" soft keys, at the same time poke the soft-reset hole with your stylus. Then make sure you do not interrupt the process, wait 13-15 min it will clean boot, then voila!

Make sure you fully charge your phone first.

Maybe the pda is not booting from the miniSD? Any specific sequence to flash? e.g. press the 2 '-' first then only poke the reset hole then only insert miniSD card? Or just reset to boot loader with miniSD card inserted? Both way tried. Still cannot.
