FYI...

I FLASHED the Alkor Edition/Beta 1 Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM into my stock iPaq hx4700 (64MB) on May 11th. Note: This is an English ROM.

I will be going back to Kozura's REL4 6.0 ROM until I can find something better.

Here is the one major issue I have found so far with the Alkor Edition 6.1 Beta 1 ROM.

Of the 20 Settings/System selections, 5 of the 20 disappear if I establish a WI-FI connection !

Selections that disappear until I perform a soft reset....

1. Settings/System/Backlight

2. Settings/System/hpAssetViewer

3. Settings/System/iPAQAudio

4. Settings/System/Power

5. Settings/System/SelfTest

I performed both Clean and Soft resets multiple times. No improvement.

1. Before install I checked the PagePool with Modpp. It is 4.5 MB. I left it at that value.

2. The initial bootup screen shows "Windows Mobile 6" in white text with ".1" in red text with a larger/different font. This looks strange / ugly. The message "Loading..." is in an old English font at the bottom of the bootup screen."2.01" in red text appears in the lower right corner of the bootup screen.

3. Note: This ROM contains a program called SRS WOW HD to supposedly improve the audio.

I'll continue to watch for that 6.1 ROM from Kozura !

Alkor ROM

Well, I've been reading Alkor ROM post and this version has a lot of issues. It's the first version and the idea to implement 214 drivers is something very interesting but not enough deleloped. The good news is Kozhura is there and his experience can help to Alkor in next version. At the moment I prefer versions in this posts.

SDHC to CF Adapter

While an interesting bridge product ... the CF adapter makes NO sense for the hx4705. We do need to find the key for using the larger capacity SDHC cards in the SD slot. The CF slot already has 32GB cards available.. and larger ones may be on the horizon.

==== Since my above post I have come across the situation where an SDHC to CF adapter makes sense to me ... I have digicams where I use SDHC cards (I have several 8GB units) for still and video takes. The adapter makes sense to be able to view such files on my hx4705.

Thus, what is the experience with these adapters. Which are the faster or fastest for READ from (also for write to)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jimpsar:
Hello I have bought a used 4700 and up to know I am very happy with it.

I have the Kozhura's latest wm6 rom and I d like to know if I can have 8gb or 16gb sdhc or 16GB CF card working.

Thank you keep up the good effort guys ,I am a supporter.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Islanti:
What this allows you to do, though, is use SDHC in your hx4700. Nice if you have other devices (cameras, for example) which use SDHC and you want to access that card on your PDA.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wexx:
That is true but every hx4700 is licensed to use certain version of PI. There shouldn't be any problem including PI 2007 released with WM5.0 in ROMs. Making it available for download separately, however, would cause disputes.

Using cracked version of PI 2007 on hx4700 is perfectly legal (you still have a license). Cracking it, however, is not legal.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayme:
You're sure about that? :confused:

"HP hx470x Series iPaqs

The HP hx470x Series with Windows Mobile 5 iPaqs ship with Pocket Informant 2005 Build 477 (Pre Rev 4) in ROM. These units are licensed only to the version provided in ROM and any future ROM upgrades as HP sees fit to provide. All support for the in-ROM version is through HP. Any upgrades to the most current retail version of Pocket Informant will be at at the cost of $14.95 and will entitle the user to support from our technicians as well as all the standard entitlements provided by the retail release."
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrismrulz:
it may be technically illegal.. but i say up HP and 'what they see fit to provide'.

we're atleast entitled to the software it came with seeing as though we're the ones continuing on the work for our thousand dollar devices they abandoned.

if it was the same version HP included that would probably be ok.. but an outdated version of PI in the rom would be pretty tacky and not worth the space.

sd2cf converter

i have sd2cf converter and used it with my 4gb sd card as a main storage space for programs etc. i decide to do this way as it was complicated to put it out from slot. sd slot was used for music files, other sd cards from cameras. however after year or so i had to recover my 4gb sd card 3 times. last one was quite complicated and lost some important data in root directory. now i'm going to use dedicated sd slot for main storage and sd2cf converter to so called read only data - music, pictures. i think with sdhc2cf converter it could be similar. however, when used only for pictures viewing or ocassionaly then ok, should not be a problem.

ROM cooking itself is also technically illegal. My point was that no one could sue you for including HP's original version (or even any 2007) version of Pocket Informant in your ROM.

Yes! On the ipaqs (39xx, 54xx, 55xx & 47xx etc) if you press and hold power button for 2 seconds the backlight toggles between switching off and on. just a normal quick switch is the power and can be reset by soft reset too.

New ROM PhamQuang HP iPAQ 4700 - WM6.1 (Build 19213.1.0.4).

Hello.

First, pardon my English.

There is a new ROM PhamQuang HP iPAQ 4700 - PDAVIET ROM WM6.1 (Build 19213.1.0.4).

I think there is a fault in this new version.

In the programs folder icons are flashing all the time.

Only are fixed the icon of "Getting Started"; "Task Manager" and subdirectories that exists in this folder.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wexx:
Well, that is a good argument. However, any new WM5.0, WM6, and WM6.1 ROMs could still be described as modified original HP's WM5.0 ROM. So we are only technically redistributing their (modified) stuff. Well, I don't care anymore. I use my own ROM with PI 8 built in now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wexx:
I don't know if this was discussed in earlier threads. iPAQ audio settings program works. But after a soft reset it is turned off (can hear it). When I go to that program to switch it back on it seems to be turned on but the EQ is only engaged again when I slide a band or select profile. Is there any way to have the EQ working persistantly? I am using Sanjay's SL61V3 based ROM.

Hello again.

The problem of blinking icons in the folder of programs I think that comes from the attributes of the files. lnk.

If we change the attribute of these by read-only stop flashing icons.

Somebody knows because this happens.

If you install new programs the same, changing the attribute to read-only solves the problem.

volume control and time display missing in true VGA mode

Hello. I'm new to the XDA forums. I've used my HX4700 since 2004 when it came out, and it's still my fav device. I tried upgrading the ROMs up to WM5, but found them unreliable, and so until last week was still using 2003SE.

Menneissys' excellent articles about the HX4700 and the new ROMs made me want to try again, and I finally went and put 6.1 on (SL61V3).

It works great, and I am thinking of making it permanent, but one problem came up - in true VGA mode (using ozVGA) I can no longer see the volume control and the time in the right part of the taskbar at the top of the screen. They are still there if I switch to qVGA.

Is this a known problem? Any workarounds? Any 3rd party volume controls I could use instead?

Thanks.

G

p.s. on a perhaps related problem, I hate how much space the time and date display takes on my today screen. This is a WM6 "feature" from what I read, not a problem with the hack, but is there any way to modify the appearance of this without getting rid of it altogether.

Thanks.

PDAViet new ROM

Hi,

I've just load new PDAViet WM6.1 in my HX4700. It looks well but has some troubles. It's so customized and icons blink in programs as Chapito told us. Some programs must be removed as HP image Zone and in general a clean is necesary. Installing software I found no problems at the moment and it looks very stable. It's a good base ROM and I hope a new 'clean' version soon.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spetrie:
I have used it on WM6.0. It works but only if you have lots of free RAM. I have 26MB free RAM and can get it to work for short journeys. As soon as I try to calculate a long trip it runs out of memory. I will be sticking to Igo 2006 and Tom Tom just now. Perhaps they will release a newer version that does not use so much RAM. iGO 8 is really designed for PPC with 128MB RAM and not our 64MB device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
I have on my 4700 (ROM 6.1kbd) iGO8, it runs great all day. The only time I get the 'out of memory' is when browsing and zooming in & out & around large famous buildings & cities (London, Paris, Budapest etc) with all the buildings, attractions & terrain on full. In normal use there was no problem. :)

By the way does anyone now how to stop the battery setting to be unticked :confused: after a soft reset, because after a soft reset if an appointment comes up it stays on until battery is flat. I have Pocket SPB installed. I want it to be fixed as 'switch off after 5 minutes'. Thanks!

Hello,

I've tried to analysis the blinking trouble and I have two theories. A service running or display driver. I know ATI video chip has any problem with cache and must be disabled but I did it and no difference. Set .lnk as 'read only' is a solution but in my HX4700 blinking is faster when more attributes has been changed.

Excepting blinking I detected two things:

- After a lot of test with older ROMS with this last one Juniper connection manager works fine (using PIE) used in my company VPN connection. Application is for WM5.

- Citrix client doesn't work properly. In all others ROMS this client worked fine :-(

New PhamQuang B19581.1.1.1

I've loaded this new run few minutes ago and first comments are:

- 4 Hard reset were neede to boot.

- I feel a very bit slow comparing to others ROMS but I have a similar problem in the past and doing a hard-reset and reloading ROM was enough for improving speed.

- WIFI has reconnected three times in 5 minutes. My AP is not so far.

- I've tried Guava Bubbles and Windows Mobile 6.1 themes and they look like low deep color. Only Windows default looks well. I think changing Themes to another ROM is enough for solving this trouble.

- No blinking :-)

- Stable.

- Well, after another hard reset speed has incresed. Now it's working fine.

I'm going to start software installation. I use .CAB files only. I'll post more info asap.

New ROMs are going to be published because a bug in WM graphic format files. We are waiting for :)them ;-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elparra72:
Icons are blinking again but I've isolated the problem. Blinking started when I plugged my CF ans SD cards. I unplugged them and reset PDA and Icons blinking stopped. I plugged CF and blinking again. Reset. I plugged SD and blinking again.

I think the problem is in cards driver.

-WIFI is stable now. Maybe a hard reset was necessary.

- VBAR 2.2 working fine.

hi, i've used the original Kohzura ROM to flash my hx4700 and everything works great with it except for the filesys.exe issue which slows down the performance quite often. now following this whole thread have lead me to download several ROMs that were supposed to enhance the original ROM but each release seem to have a drawback (ie flashing icons, no WPA in wifi, unstable, etc etc).. can you guys help me figure out which ROM is the closest to the initial Kohzura ROM WITHOUT (or minimal) the filesys.exe issue?
