Da_G

I'm struggling to understand how to rebase the modules when I have a new file. Any hints appreciated! (Sorry to ask again)

BTW, I have found a possible source for a good set of XIP files in the "Slim 19199 Cooking kit" for the Wizard.

permanent activesync killing

Hello gurus!

Could this (and maybe other) registry change be included in the cooked ROM to avoid the widespread problem of activesync kick-in (and its influence in sped and battery life)?

From http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showtopic=11823

"...

You can also check the following registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F 4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Settings] SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled (x)

Where x is one of the following:

0=Manually synchronize

5=5 minutes. Default value.

15=15 minutes

30=30 minutes

60=60 minutes

120=2 hours

240=4 hours

Since I don't use remote syncs (the 4700 is not a phone!) I use "0". This allows automatic sync on cradle, but keeps AS from popping up every 5 minutes to look for a remote connection. Some folks also "kill" AS after every sync. This has a dramatic effect on speed.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
Yes, I'm hoping that Da_G will find this useful. Sometimes, I can make some sense of translations, but other times it remains a puzzle to me. I have found that CRC comparisons between modules works for me as a way to check if anything has changed between module versions.

Starting point would be to leave modules I'm not sure of, in the rom and then experiment by removing one at a time.

Still looking at Universal 6.1 roms...

That reminds me, how much of this ROM is unnecessary crap the machine can't use because it's not a phone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Linus_18:
I've tested the rom made from a BIG BIG BIG: DA G.

I've found that my 4gb sd card is well recognized, with the suggestions of CERDITO in post #253 for killing that damned activesync and TMAN and other hacks in the SBSH website (WONDERFUL CERDITO !!!) i close every app and my battery is 2% less after 6 hours in standby.

So fast battery drain issue has gone too and i have no other problems with this new rom.

I have 72 mb for storage and 26 mb of ram for running programs (in wm6-kozhura i had 43 mb for storage and 32 mb of ram for running programs.

Other thing, i've seen that FILE EXPLORE is 4 times faster for the folder WINDOWS of the device, rexpect to Kozhura WM6 ROM, so I decided to reinstall some apps and to remain with this rom till a better one will be released. I didn't find any other problem so this seem to be PERFETCT NEW ROM for hx4700.

I suggest using SBSH ILAUNCHER (nice 64x64 icons & tabs you can add as many you like, need to have only a INI FILE on device, the other things on SD Card) and RESCO EXPLORER (nice access to every resource of the device), QUICKMENU (recursive menus) and TMAN (kill every app and background app before off).

Only if I could, i'd disable some starting services, if not necessary, so to have much more ram free.

I only removed (with MEMMAID) NAVPOINT SERVICE 'cause i don't use the keypad on hx4700.

I've seen some startup services that weren't on wm6 from kozhura: SOFTWAREDISABLE, SWMGMNT and some others.

Do someone know if some services can be removed without any issue on wm6.1 hx4700? Thank you for a reply, if someone can.

A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU TO DA G.

Sorry for my english, russian is native.

I'm not shure Da_G will find this useful. There're many slangs. I hope my bad english help you more then good Kozhura's russian. :oЪ

ceddk.dll - theare is no reason to chahge thise modul, it's the same as in 5.2 and 5.1.

initvmmap.exe - the same as the first (ceddk.dll).

initvmmap.exe - thise module is needn't at all for PDA, it's for HTC's PDA phones.

fsdspy.dll - and this better not remoove at all, there will be problemes with programs, I have experience.

Yuuuuuhh, I'm tired to write thise all and go to take a rest. 8-)

Thanks, a better translation than google! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Slavv:
I did my best:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Da_G:
Thank you for the translation Slavv :)

I only wish Kozhura was a bit more detailed.

ceddk.dll - The functionality of this module is the same, yes, but the code is most certainly different. So while the older one will work, logic dictates that the changes must be bug fixes, why else make them?

certmod.dll - This module has definitely changed. WM6.1 version includes support for the new WM6.1 features (like domain enrollment allowing server-based control of software installation, see "Managed Programs" and "Domain Enroller"

initvmmap.dll - This module appears to build an in-memory map of the layout of slot 0 memory, and is linked to the memory management subsystem, it is specifically called in the XIP registry of all WM6.1 ROM's I have, and loads certain system modules into a specially managed area of memory, does not seem to be linked to phone specific devices in any way..

fsdspy.dll - This module is a file system filter, based on a sample filter provided by microsoft in the PB5 kit, it is designed to provide an interface to monitor filesystem access on the root filesystem, which is not used by any of the system-included modules or programs, nor any of the HP-included modules or programs, so far I have not found a program that ties into this module (my guess is that it's some HTC-written software they use in-house for debugging) - either way there should be no problems experienced with any included programs, as it is never used aside from loading at XIP time and staying resident in memory, constantly monitoring the filesystem to report back to no one. - There may be a 3rd party software that utilizes this filesystem filter to report back on file access or otherwise use that info, but I have not run into it yet?

@ramsses: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=357249 has good info on re-basing modules in XIP, to sum it up you will need M'Reloc from sticky in Development forum, open filename.txt inside module folder from original XIP module, look @ values e32_vbase and o32[1].o32_realaddr, note those values. Open up new module in M'Reloc, input new values, click DoIt, then open filename.txt inside new module, also change values to match. Rebasing complete! Now erase old module (do not forget filename.txt outside of module folder, also replace with new module filename.txt)

Mine is a 4 GB SD (simply SD) CARD working with wm6.1 "Da G". SD only (not SDHC, if this isn't clear lol ).

STARTUP SERVICES ON WM6.1 (seen with MemMaid) :

-----------------------------

SOFTWAREDISABLE

SWMGMTSERVICE

CERTENROLL

SNAPI

BTHIDSVC

LASSD

CREDSVC

SQMUNLOAD

SCREENROTATE

OBEX

NOTIFY

DTPT

--------------------------

I ask what are they for, and which ones can be removed so to free ram on the device.

I already removed NAVPOINT (I don't use keypad on hx4700).

I think that if bluetooth and wifi aren't always used, the two shortcuts BTTRAYCE and IPAQWIRELESS can be removed from Startup folder and put in Start Menu folder under Programs, for manual loading each time they're needed, freeing normally ram for other uses (precisely 5 MORE MB in my device). I'm actually at 26mb free ram with resco today plugin, ilauncher today plugin, calendar today plugin and tasks today plugin and quickmenu app. Will I arrive at 32 mb free ram like i had in wm6 ? I hope so. At this point storage free for saving files is 72 mb (largest i ever had).

Thanks everybody in advance for suggestions !

Enhancements possible for DaG 4mb and DaG 8mb

Well done with this "DaG 4mb".

Recovering 4mb of ram in a device that has 26-27 only at best is a good result. I will test if speed will be unchanged, i suppose there won't be a big change.

Both 4mb and 8mb from DaG could be enhanced upx-ing some apps not often used.

UPX is a compressor for executable files. Files are expanded at runtime with no difference in execution respect to original files.Dll files in some cases can be compressed with UPX, but often the resources (icons, bitmaps) are not loaded so every dll must be tested when compressed and if not good, must be restored the original one. This can only be done with DLL in ram, cause DLL in rom can't be obviously changed and one can notice a reduction of space for file saving.

Can someone explain how to put in this Rom a UPX-ed version of Powerpoint.exe (600 k against 2,6 mb-> 2mb gain in storage for files)? i've seen this app is in rom, so if someone try to overwrite it, really this don't happen and one can notice minor space for saving files. If you delete it, it will be restored from Rom at his original size.

So there are 2 chances:

1) copy file apart, remove it from rom, reflash rom, copy UPX-ed file in ram;

2) cook a new rom directly with the UPX-ed Powerpoint.

Number 2 had to be best, i'd like to know how to use mamaich tools and others tools to do this.

Both 4mb and 8mb from DaG could be against enhanced if some startup services could be disabled or completely removed, giving more speed to others (i.e. NAVPOINT, BTTRAYCE, IPAQWIRELESS, and maybe others).

Among all these, EXE files can be loaded later, when needed.

Hope this helps, thank you in advance to everybody.:D:D:D:D

RamDisk for temp (IE, Opera ...) files

Hello,

Is it possible to use Ramdisk to store temp files (IE cache for example) on these WM6 ?

like this one

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/tips...-compatible-almost-every-wm5-device-here.html

Is it possible to have persistent soft-reset proof ramdisk or only volatile ramdisk ?

thanks for any information
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Yes - it works - and you can make it auto-initialise so it is always there after restart. Any data that was there prior to soft reset is blown away - so it will be volatile - but will persist after a normal power down/wakeup.

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cook:
OK but auto-initialise = auto-crash :( !

I just copy the ramdisk-8192.lnk in windows\startup and I have an auto-crash on boot.

note I try it before by starting manually the link from explorer and it's work so I suspect it's a timing problem ... is there some utility somewhere to delay startup starting link ... I know mortrun but it's a bit to much for what I want :)

thanks.

First I want to thank all the hard workers for cooking these wonderfull roms. I am reading this thread and the one from Kozhura already for quite a while and this is my first post on this forum.

The following problem occurred after flashing sk61v02_4 after a soft reset with an enabled simple password only the top adress bar showed up and the only thing I could do was a hard reset and clearing all data and a restore . Without a password there are no problems. (I have checked this twice) Does anybody has a solution or is it just bad luck.

Thanks in advance

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jwy2k2:
You might try using a smaller Ramdisk. I've used a 4MB on mine without any problem by just putting a lnk file in windows\startup . I did have problems with much larger ones though. (8MB?...don't remember) Also, if you use sktools you can go into the startup tool area and choose the order to start for some of your lnk files. I set the ramdisk lnk to start first. I don't know the registry setting for this but it shouldn't be to hard to find. sktools just makes it more convenient. I hope this helps.

cache with DA_G Rom

Dear all,

I notice a strage thing with FATFS cache.

I obtain Tomtom loading in 5 sec comparing to traditional 30 sec by setting "CacheSize" to high value like 0x4000 or 0x8000 evec if MSDN told "CacheSize" setting is now deprecated.

setting "FatCacheSize" and "DataCacheSize" (these settings replace the old "CacheSize") do not provide the same improvement, ie do not provide any improvement at all.

Note I try power of 2 settings from 0x1000 (maximum according to MSDN information) to 0x8000 (max working value according to my test, 0x10000 crash)

So the strange things is the deprecated settings works well and the new one seems do not have any effects ...

is it normal ? or some .dll are an old one ?

by the way I think it's interesting to know it's possible to set cache greater than max according to MSDN for those have 128 Mb Ram ...

As I have written yesterday, I've installed WM 6.1 with the ROM of Algasystems, my pda works very good (sorry for my English ;) )

Firstly I had a problem with SPB Pocket Plus (thread #317), but with your help, now it's ok, and I have kept Pocket Plus on my pda. Thank you for your help

I've installed SPB Pocket Plus 4.0.2, SPB Traveller 1.6.0, AgendaFusion 8.60, PocketTweak 4.2.7, Resco File Explorer 6.17 (but it's slow), Task Plus 2.07, TCPMP 0.72, XNView Pocket, eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime, SPB Backup, ... and many games, and all is OK. :D

The SoftKeyApplet.cpl from Dell works too.

I've installed the patch of Football for the bug of IE.

The WiFi seems to work correctly with XP and Vista.

The BT works fine too.

My pda is a little bit slower than with WM 2003 SE, but much faster than with WM 5.0 from HP.

For information I have an iPAQ 4700 with 64 Mo RAM (not with 128 Mo like some people) and I have in the settings under Memory: Total=54.30Mb, In use=26.11Mb and Free= 28.31Mb. For this number in free, it can be also between 19 Mb and 24 Mb. I suppose that's ok.

With WM 6.1, the screen of my pda seems darker than with WM 2003 SE. I have seen the same with WM 5.0. Do you know a software to change the value of color, contrast, brightness, ... ? (for information: in the settings, the brightness is on max)

I have a little problem with the connection on my pc (Vista): if I want to do two connections, I must do a soft reset of my pda before each connection. I think to have read something about this, but I don't know where in this forum. An idea? :confused:

I also want to thank you everybody for the different ROM that you have created. I have no time enough to try each ROM, but I'm sure that the created WM 6.1 are perfect for the iPAQ 4700. :)
