[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
The BT solution that you have noted is similar to the one that I have followed. These instructions are from a user guide for my GPS receiver...

To set up a Bluetooth connection on yourWM6 device, follow these steps:

1. Go to Start Menu > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth

2. Turn Bluetooth on under “Bluetooth Status”

3. Select the “Services” tab, and highlight “Serial Port”

4. Place a checkmark next to “Enable service” and Uncheck boxes for “Authorization required”

and “Authentication required”

5. Select “Advanced” and make a note of your outgoing com port. Then select “OK”

6. Go to “General” tab and click “Bluetooth Manager” at bottom of screen.

7. Select Menu > Paired Devices > Add.

8. Next to “Device”, select the search icon (make sure your GPS receiver is on)

9. Select “BT-GPS-??????” and enter passkey (which is 0000). Then click “OK” twice.

10. At the “My Shortcuts” screen, now select “New” at the bottom of the screen.

11. Select “Explore a Bluetooth device” and select “BT-GPS” when found

12. Under Service Selection, highlight “BT-GPS COM port” and uncheck box under “Security” and

click “Next”

13. Click “Finish” once shortcut is created.

14. Next, hold stylus on BT-GPS icon and select “Connect” from list.

15. Once connected, close Bluetooth Manager until you are back at “Settings”

16. Select System > External GPS

17. In programs tab, select COM 0; in hardware tab, input your outgoing com port and click “OK”

Previous to using Andy's latest finely cooked ROM I had a GPS receiver that would be detected as a SPP slave and I would never need to 'pair' with it, as long as I had switched on the BT on the PDA iGo would then pick it up and work fine.

Now I have to go into the BT manager before starting iGo and connect to the receiver from the created shortcut.

Will this work on a rx5700?

specs are similar :S
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tapdov:
If you mean the bluetooth procedure, maybe.

The ROM, definitely NOT.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elparra72:
You are right RiPLeY78, connection setting doesn't work fine. For connecting my mobile I've had to create a new comm profile and through BT manager I've created a new bluetooh connection. Is more complex but works. First I tried using BT Phone Manager but failed too. Well, the solution is manually create/modify your connections in new profiles :-(

I've detected a low performance sometimes (mainly with Opera mobile 9.5.1004) but I think an old application can be the cause because before installing applications everything looked fine.

No more issuess detected :-)

Very good job and maybe a small modification is necessary. When will have a new revised version? Thanks to everybody!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pedrocasilva:
That means NO :D thanks (for stopping me)

I have noticed another minor problem with your newest ROM: when I heve active WiFi connection and I tap on the WiFi icon (on the menu bar) the bubble which appears is empty (has only title).

Hello,

about last Ramsses release I saw 2 errors in parameters in registry. value are entered as if it is Dec values but it's Hex values

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]

"limit"=dword:00131072 (it's hex !!!! = 1249394 dec)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TcpIp\Parms]

"TCPWindowSize"=dword:00065536 (it's hex !!! = 415030 dec)

Desired value should be :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]

"limit"=dword:00020000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TcpIp\Parms]

"TCPWindowSize"=dword:00010000

Please note the desired values are huge, "normal" values for these parameters are :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]

"limit"=dword:00002000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TcpIp\Parms]

"TcpWindowSize"=dword:00008000

probably WM6 don't use the values and use some other default value because there is no enouth RAM for it !

Other thing, with this release, spb Backup have great difficulties to stop the task in begining of backup/restore process.

Thanks for your work !!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ZinFab:
Sorry guys I'm a bit confused...which Rom has Wifi issues the Alkor or Ramses?

Which one has contact issues and Real VGA issues?

I am about to flash and would really like a Wifi and contact able rom Real VGA I can live without...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Here's the wzcsvc.dll from Kozhura's newest ROM - I'm interested to know whether this addresses some of the problems:

(unzip, copy to \windows, soft-reset)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Avram83:
Tried, but when copy it say "replace file?", yes and then say access denied, file protected.

Is there some other way to put it into windows folder?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cook:
first rename actual one in windows directory, then copy, then reset

(usual way to deal with locked files even in Windows desktop computer)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
I have had another thought - there are two files associated with the wifi zero-config. Rather than replace that one, try replacing the ROM version with this other file (From Kozhura's WM6.0 R4 ROM). Initial results are positive - wifi is now turning on and off properly.

(Turn Wifi off first!!, soft reset afterwards)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
BTW, here's the standard and green TSK files. I'll include them in the next ROM.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
A carry-over from Alkor - thanks, I'll fix them.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Avram83:
cook "first rename actual one in windows directory, then copy, then reset

(usual way to deal with locked files even in Windows desktop computer) "

rename is not an option (greyed)

ramsses "standard and green TSK files. I'll include them in the next ROM."

I think not to put them, because it is very easy to add theme that you like.

I would like to add, that it would be great to have ROM without IE, WMP, and welcome screen.

Maybe 80 - 90% people don't use them, (opera mini , net front, core player...)

Thanks for GREAT work on still the best 4700.

Regards from Serbia
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayme:
That's the same for me, I'm almost identical to you (I use the new opera from earlier in this thread and mortplayer instead of net front), however I doubt we're the norm?

Theme's seem to be so personal in choice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
You can't rename - it's in the ROM! Just copy with resco explorer - it will warn you, but say yes, it's okay. Make sure to turn off wifi first, then soft-reset if it still says the file is locked. You may need to also turn off the today wifi plugin.

The extra themes only occupy the imgfs partition and do not reduce the available internal flash ROM space, so there is a space advantage to include them rather than add them later.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Avram83:
Thanks!

Didn't know for themes. OK.

(I liked very much SL61V2lite (didn't have welcome screen-great thing))

It would be great not to have welcome screen, IE and WMP.

:wawe:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cook:
Thanks. The original theme are the only theme works correctly in RealVGA. Could you add Windows Default (blue) theme without HP background ?

I don't know how to made theme in RealVGA. ThemeMaker_X don't made correct RealVGA background (background too small)

I feel this last ROM is faster than all I try before :

- WIFI Reconnect faster

- Power on is faster, PocketWeather is really faster after power on. For this it's not just a feeling, I'm sure.

- Filesys seems cause less slow down when running

bad point is SPB Backup have great problem to stop task in beginning of Backup/Restore process

I think PIE is not the last version. Last version (I think) attached to this post.

But great release !

Thanks !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr Joshua:
personally, andy's rom fixed PIE for me.

no more 100% cpu usage on web pages, and i like the welcome screen, feels like i just pulled my hx4700 right out of the box..

i also use wmp and tcpmp...

not a great fan of any of the browser offerings so far, lackluster..

thanks andy

P.S. .72RC1 tcpmp + flv plugin + PIE 6.1 + www.ytpocket.com + "industrial love" now plays flawless.. before had extreme chop issues w/ SL61V3..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Okay, I'll keep it as is for now for 'stability'...

Andy

(I'll up a tweaked ROM soon)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayme:
Any chance of a lite version without wmp, PIE, powerpoint, etc. please? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Yes, in theory, but I wonder why? If you remove them from the imgfs partition, the FAT partition for the built-in user-accessible flash does not increase, so there is little benefit...

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayme:
Just tidyness, why have stuff you don't need (extra files, links, etc.)

Plus, if we feel inclined, we can then cook your ROM with the programs we do use.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bub181:
Is there any way of reclaiming the space which was saved in the system partition and adding it to the user partition? This way we'd have more user space available which would mean less filesys.exe compaction because more data has to be written before filesys.exe has to come along and compact it.

I heard that in other PDA models there was a tool that was released which allowed a cooker to do this. But no one seems to have tried it for the HX4700.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
I think the newer imgfs tools may allow this (I think imgfstonb does just that!).

I will experiment...

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bub181:
Excellent. I look forward to hearing how it goes. Then all these lite ROMs would really be of some practical use.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
I have been looking (and trying) based on this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298327

... so far to no use :mad:

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr Joshua:
technically they are of more use now than they were ever intended to be.

the hx4700 is far past the life cycle hp scheduled for this device..

removing PIE more so than WMP would impact the bare usability of the rom.

i do remember reading somewhere that PIE allows add-ons where as some of the others don't.. also PIE doesn't depend on remote servers to render pages ala Iris, Deepfish, skyfire, (netfront?), etc.. minimo was large, slow and unwieldy, same w/ opera.. PIE is also free.. where as opera is not.

cooking and updating multiple roms would double the work the person cooking them would undertake? and as it seems, removing them wouldn't add any more space in user accessible storage.. don't like the "clutter" remove the lnk's.. trying to remove PIE which i'd assume M$ has integrated into WM much like IE in their desktop OS's might create more headaches than it's worth. I'd vote for fixing bugs that directly impact the stability and use of the hx4700 instead of trying to remove PIE/WMP $0.02
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
true... But I'd also like to get the tadzio imgfs tools working with hx4700...

Andy

Edit: Well... A bit mad...

1. You need to use Tadzio's tools v2.1rc2 NBsplit/NBinfo/NBMerge:

NBSplit -data 258048 -extra 4096 etc... are the correct (not obvious - had to look at the old tool's source code)

2. Then use the v2.0 rc2 imgfs....exe files as the newer version fails on the hx4700 ROM!

Watch this space...

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bertolinz:
Oh, this is just great!

This space is usually already the first one I went when I connect to

internet.

Andy, thank you for your last rom! You are too deep into this that I

wonder when we will see your very own cooking masterpiece.

Please don't get tired....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Okay, need more help here, I'll PM Kozhura and ask him what I am doing wrong! (I can dump using the new tools but can't get a valid ROM the other way).

I'll post a fixed 'using the old method for compilation' ROM soon with the registry and WIFI fixes.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bertolinz:
Just trying to be helpful

Kozhura mentioned that he used his OWN tools (he make them last year).

When he (for the time being) abandoned work on HX4700 he left his

tool for his Russian followers - Alkor&co....Those (but perhaps incomplete) tools might still be available - I have downloaded them but later gave up - too much for me. Maybe I still have them somewhere, but recently I've done some disk cleanup, so chances are slim. But I'll try to find original thread and let you know.

Robert
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Thanks - that would be good!

Edit: Here's v1d - has a plain default background, fixed wifi (uses the 2 wzc*.dlls from Kozhura 6.0 R4) and registry fixes as already discussed.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bertolinz:
Sorry, looks like threads are edited and links are gone...

There are still some references to kitchen but I've been

unable (tried hard) to find download link. And I've deleted all

stuff too when I heard about Kozhura comeback. I've remember

talk about kitchen was 4 month ago when first 6.1 rom was dead line.

Maybe some of our Russian friends or even Kozhura (but I'm not

so sure about him - Wietnamese roms are according to Russian threads

at least half fake - some new ingredients above old Kozhura 6.0 rom) could

share kitchen stuff with Ramsses - he have knowledge and interest!

Andy I'm uploading your last version right now - thank you.

Possible interesting WiFi tweak

Folks

I have noticed that turning the power management off on the WiFi seems to provide quicker and more reliable connecting, including after power resuming.

The default is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\tiacxwln1\Parms]

"HTCPowerMode"=dword:2

If you change it to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\tiacxwln1\Parms]

"HTCPowerMode"=dword:0

...and soft reset, the change can be observed.

Just one to try, I'd appreciate views on this as whether this helps or not.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bigu1975:
Andy,

I have tried it - my first impression is turning WiFi on/off seems to be quicker :)

I think that for sure the WiFi card is turning on quicker now.

I am not sure if the connection to AP is quicker.

I use WPA-PSK and your previous ROM (without last WiFi fixes).

Thank you fir your effort.

Regards,

Bigu1975
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Thanks...

All you need to apply the wifi fixes in the new rom (1d) to v1c is to copy over the wzcsapi.dll posted a couple of pages ago.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bigu1975:
Yes I know, but... :( I don't know how to do it.

The file is in ROM and it is write protected. I am not able to replace it or even to rename.

Regards,

Bigu1975
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Turn off wifi, disable the wireless today plugin (un-select in today settings, list of items), soft-reset. Copy the file to \temp. Use resco explorer to copy the file from \temp to \windows.

See if that works!

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bigu1975:
As usually you were right :) Thank you very much.

It works! The key to success was a Resco Explorer :) Previously I was trying to use default file explorer.

I replaced mentioned dll and WiFi still works :) In my opinion nothing has been changed but I need to test it more.

Unfortunately after tapping on connection icon the window is empty (doesn't show connection details).

The bad news for me is that after changed wzcsapi.dll to older one (from Kozura R4, or to newer one from Andy's v1c) my WiFi connection is less stable. It means that from time to time I am not able to connect to my AP (of course I have defined my connection properly). All what I can do in such case is to turn WiFi off and turn it on again.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr Joshua:
after flashing the rom from (post #911) resco explorer 2008 today screen add-in refuses to load.

with or without the above registry changes wifi connecting after a self suspend goes into an infinate loop.

however going to wifi settings -> ipaq wireless, turning off wifi -> settings then connecting to (WAP) then it's nearly instantaneous.

i'm going to play with it a little longer to see whats going on, i'll post up results later after i get everything re-installed..

thanks for all the hard work andy :)

Edit 1: after installing PIE 6.1 Cab from post #896 the soft reset it performs turns off wifi requiring you to go back into ipaq wireless to turn wifi back on.

Edit 2: Installing PIE 6.1 cab from post #896 seems to fix resco explorer today screen add-in showing up.

Edit 3: Adobe Acrobat for PPC complains that the program i'm installing may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows mobile.

Edit 4: i've installed this all to CF w/ the exception of the M$ extended DST update and PIE 6.1 which i installed to main mem. DST complains if installed to CF. havn't tried installing PIE 6.1 to CF for obvious reasons.

With this DLL on ramsses v1c : can't turn on wifi ! (not only can't connect, can't turn on !)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
I'll put it back the way it was - I can't understand why it should prevent wifi turning on at all given it works for other people.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr Joshua:
i'm not sure that it would/does prevent wifi from turning on.

it's quite possible that somethings been ommited.

IE, possibly doing other modifications of rom v1c then trying to cut and paste that file in rather than use v1d which you've already replaced that file?

as mine turns on just fine, it just seems to have a problem w/ being suspended..

i'll be reflashing w/ rom v1d, keeping it bare for a bit and trying a few things.. after that i'll install PIE 6.1 that was posted earlier and microsoft's extended DST update.. re-test, and go from there.. as stability seemed to return to wifi after installing PIE 6.1.. *shrug*

Edit 1: tapped on the wifi icon via icon in lower right hand portion of the screen after initial setup, brought up ipaq wireless wizard, finished wizard. tapped on settings menu in ipaq wireless, setup WAP via the three tabs in "configure wireless networks" went from connecting to available, never connected.

went into self suspend(not in the cradle) resumed and wifi turned itself off then on again, and connected instantly to the WAP i had setup.

wifi after self suspend (on or off the cradle) goes into an infinate loop trying to reconnect to WAP

Edit 2: suspend in cradle functions.

Edit 3: Wifi on today screen was absent? Can't remember if it was there or not after flashing the rom. It had to be selected again from the today screen item list in settings.

Edit 4: after going into suspend and resuming, then turning wifi on then off to connect to wap to cancel the infinite connect loop wifi. on the today screen wifi icon has problems refreshing/updating status. just does."WIFI: blank " no status, just empty.

Definatly has problems w/ wifi stability in general after being suspended. Going to update to PIE 6.1 and test a few more things.

Edit 5: after installing PIE 6.1 problems still exist. no registry values were changed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
The wzcsapi.dll in 1d seems to cause issues with activesync, so I'm making a 1e with this returned to how it was in 1c with the registry fixes and the power management on the wifi setting as '0' rather than '2'.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr Joshua:
any idea's what the differences between the two dll's are and why activesync would cause these problems?

i'll give 1e a go as soon as it's uploaded.

Have to test the wifi options properly as had issues with 6 rev 4 and open lans, also didn't manage the WPA2 on WPA TKIP at home.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WODP:
I've tried Ramsses rom but i got problems in WM player (freezing on times, buffering alot, slow response).

Alkor's rom works better and faster in general and in WMP.

I don't know why but Ramsses rom worked even slower than last Kozhuras at my hx4700.

Wifi worked great on both new roms(no problems at all).

Is it possible to remove software for Nav Point completly from system?

What about HP image Zone (there's no need to have two image viewers? - i prefer P&V)?

I want to thank all rom cookers, becouse you're the only reason 4700 is still one of the best PDA's.
