1. It is not possible in this version, I may figure it out in the future.

2. Not the same, press and hold POWER button and press reset. Then there will be a screen with a green and red phones. But you need to press two "-" button simultaneously to complete the hard reset.

Ha..ha...too late!! Last night i've flash and restore backup using SPB from previous ROM but some apps which need NETCF didnt work.There are few redundant files restored from previous backups (GACxxx files) which I presume were previous NETCF2.0 components in windows folder which blended together with the new NETCF 3.5 files causing the whole framework failed. So, I had no choice but to manually installed all my apps again manually the whole night again.

Now this morning u provide this net.reg.cab files to overcome this different ROM backup, does it mean that it will overide and clean the old NET2.0 components restoration ? If so that's good news but something I missed already..hehe..

Thanks a lot, I really like this ROM!!!!:D:D:D
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Sorry hearing from that, I will provide the restore procedure along with the future release.

The old .net cf files are in rom. spb won't restore it, so it will not result in a mixed 2.0 and 3.5 leaving junks. The GAC-* files in b35 are renamed from .net cf 3.5 cab, just for easier to remove in the future.

Run /windows/cgacutil.exe to see which version of .netcf your using.

Who can tell me about battery life.My phone only 20 hour.Thank
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I don't have this problem. My battery lasts for 3 days and 6 hr in use just like the original wm5.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] min1968:
Same here. 6828 (or any this kind of phone) is not very good at power, but this ROM is no worse than offcial WM5.

BTW flash seems work on my camera, and so far I didn't see Wifi ON itself after soft reboot.

I am very satisfied with this ROM and would keep it on my 6828 untill WM6.1 come out.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] edywanwan:
Same here, without using the battery on standby only consume 10% to 20% for 24 hours.Using heavily especially for Internet using WiFi last 6 hours.

Camera flash does light-on when taking picture(during snap) but unlike old HP ROM which has to be manually light-up by clicking the flash icon in camera apps then snap picture. This is better as it works like a real camera, not just shining up before actual picture taking. I found that this new behavior work in all version of your ROM that I had flashed.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] limchris:

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] min1968:
Me too. But I think this is WM6 issue. I have used a few PDAs/PDA phones with unofficial WM6, none of them have Windows Live work. So actually I can not use WM6 built-in Message software to send/receive hotmail in all unofficial WM6 I've used.

Hi!

Thanks for Camerapatch!

My report - tested on my Hp rw6815:

-)I've to say wow...everything is working perfect

-)LED is working too (i've turned off phone function and then there was no LED,sorry)

-)camerapatch won't work(i see hp camerascreen but it can't open the camera)

It can be solved when take cameraapps from " HP68XX - PDAVIET ROM WM6.1 CE 5.2.19209 Build 19209 by NHOCBANME"!!!!

there are the cameraapps and hp photosmart!i'm tested-camera and photosmart work in NHOCBANME ROM!!

So it will be nice if helloworld1 or someone else can apply camera&photosmart from NOCBANME ROM to this one,so we will have a perfect clean rom for Hp rw6815 !!I would do it by myself,but i'm a medicine student and i don't about ROM-cooking;)

-)radio starts but i can't hear any stations.....

Thanks to all!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] hecatomber:
6815 doesn't have radio, and the rom is prepared for 6828 which has radio. so it's ok :)

I installed the latest rom, this one is the best WM6.1 version I've ever tried. The only problem I have is with the camera. The one in pda-hack doesn't work. Since I don't use the camera that much, this is an excellent release.

Thanks for this. (I've been trying versions for about a month now)

b95 to b99

Hi Helloworld1

Will it be safe to restore a backup made with SPB Backup under b95 rom to b99 rom? Or is there some post restore tweaks that will need to be made?

Thanks.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
To graeFNZ:

I think it is ok to restore backup. I have just changed drivers.

The A2DP auto connection still have a little problem, you need to turn 6828's bluetooth first and then power on the headset and press the connect button on the headser(if any) . Or it will not auto connect.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] GraeFNZ:
I gave the new ROM a try and A2DP Auto Connect doesn't work with my headset (SONY DR-BT21G). It doesn't have a connect button and none of the other buttons make it connect.

I tried this before restoring my backup to be sure that the restore wouldn't affect it.

Thanks for your work on this. It would be nice to have it.

If you flash your device using sd card, it is very easy.

Copy diskimg.nb0 to a sd card and go to bootloader mode, then wait.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] BesFen:
What do you mean with "too many steps"?

You just need to copy the file to mini SD and flash it.

What is the biggest SD card size can be used on the 6828? tempting to buy one of those 4G SDHC or 8G... if possible.

PS: I'm still using b39, as there's no benefit for me to upgrade... :P

Helloworld: I've been using Jiggs WM6 ROM for a while now, and basically, because most things seem to work well (other than my WIFI LED light), I've resisted upgrading to a newer rom.

I just wanted to ask you a few quick questions that I can't really find the answer to (but must admit, I'm not sure I read ALL 60 pages of this thread)

1) what CPU speed does this rom run at? I'm pretty sure the Atom Exec roms run at 620 max or so, is that the case with this rom?

2) Are there any reasons you can see not to upgrade to this rom? ie. are you planning some big change soon? I keep hearing about Internet Explorer 6.1 being improved, but haven't seen it in a rom yet, do you think its worth waiting?

3) I'm after longest battery life, any issues?

4) can you post somewhere a list of known bugs/issues you're working on?

Keep up the good work!

2. There aren't recently. IE6.1 has already been included in 6.1 ROM.

3) I'm after longest battery life, any issues?

3. You can get longer battery life using a power managerment patch.

4) can you post somewhere a list of known bugs/issues you're working on?

Bluetooth volume

Hi,

I was making a call just then via bluetooth headphone, as soon as it starts ringing, I jumped as the volume is incredibly loud, so loud it is so much distortion I couldn't make out what other person is saying.

I had to turn my headset to absolute minimum plus the incall volume to the absolute minimum to get a "bearable" volume , but still too loud.

But after the call I need to turn up the incall volume, otherwise there will be no sound, anyway I can adjust this?

thanks,

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
thanks for the reply, I forgot to mention I'm still on b39 and I meant the earpiece volume on the phone has to be reduced to the very bottom (not speaker volume) to avoid distortion in my Plantrontronics BT headset. headset volume also needs to be at the minimum to avoid hearing damage.

any tweaks available to fix this? after disconnected BT, earpiece has no sound because volume slider is at the bottom.

Hi Helloworld1,

Thank you so much for the excellent and wonderful ROM you made. You brought up light to those that has HP PDA as HP themselves didn't release WM6.

I have one question though, how do you display the battery lifetime and memory space into the WM6 desktop?

In WM5, you have this options whereby you can choose to have this on or off from the 'Today' button found in the Personal settings. Is there anyway you can make this reappear so that I can start monitoring my battery life percentage and the free memory?

Can you enable this through the registry?

Thank you and I am looking forward for your reply.

Don't worry, I've figured it out myself.

You need to modify the registry and add an entry for todaypanel.

However, I have one question.. in WM5, text messages for SMS can be managed by creating a new folder. In your latest b99 ROM, this function has been disabled. Is there anyway you can enable this?

The other thing I noticed is that you cannot move the messages from one folder to another. e.g. From 'Inbox' to 'Sent Items'

Is there anyway you can enable this?

Thanks for your help.

Reset to factory default msg forever. so, i proceed to reload the rom fr minisd card. well, it went thru as usual (bootloader screen then clean boot screen --> this showed rom upgrade is successful) but again it stayed at the clean bootscreen forever. i used the "semi brick" method in page 1 to reload the rom, same result.
