I am using the ROM from Ramsses - PhamQuang base post 570, the 4mb version. I have started to use this one as it seems to offer the most memory free when booted up.

However when I check Pbar to see what is running I find that Activesync as started up itself and is running in the memory without the PDA being docked.

IIRC there is a way to prevent activesync from doing this but I can't remember ho, can anyone help please..?

@jellogwapo

Whilst I'm not sure of the mechanics of each of the ROM's that you have noted isn't the preferred method to ensure the optimum performance to always install your apps etc to the flash card rather then the PDA's internal storage, thus minimising the effects that you have noted..?

Other than that I'm not sure if any of the ROM's offer any improvement that can't be bettered by a soft reset now and again..!?

In fact all softwares install something in settings control panel, ie something.cpl, cause control panel to fail.

a workaround for spb pocket plus is move pocketplus.cpl from windows directory to somewhere else and then, because now settings of spb pocket plus become unavailable even from "option" menu of spb pocket plus, add a link to this cpl file in the startup menu.

I think in this release of windows 6.1 M$ change something to .cpl files and old third parties ones are now not compatible.

any information about this issue are welcome

thanks.

after rename the 2 files soft reset. after delete the renamed files and it's OK.

Task Manager not working after soft reset and other issues

Same here,

TaskManager doesn't show up after soft reset. I found also that Bluetooth signal is fluctuating alot even disconnect sometimes. Still this WM6.1 is very usable but not as stable as WM2003Se. Another major issue, I didn't find a way to keep my settings of Pocket Informant 8 after soft reset. On the positive side, it is as fast as WM2003.

EDIT:

Sometime I have an " ! " instead of the Windows Logo in Start menu after a soft reset. When this happens, Start menu does not work. Very strange....

Had an interesting one today with this version. I have SPB Pocket Plus, TCPMP and TomTOm 6.03.

Started up TT - worked for around 2 minutes then suddenly zoomed out. No idea why. Shut it down and started up TCPMP. No sound. Slider all the way to the left. Tried to move it right and it kept going left. Something was forcing it that way. It's as though the touch pad (or one of the buttons?) was continuously pressed.

Shut the machine off and started it again and it started working OK.

But the sound seems lower than with the Kozhura rev 4 (which is what I used to have on it).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Stick with it - the filesys compaction when it does kick in doesn't kill the PDA any more - much, much better!

The bluetooth issue is probably that you installed a bluetooth app that overwrote the BTcoreif.dll and btsdkce30.dll files in \windows (Tomtom?). Solution: rename them, soft-reset, then delete the renamed files - bluetooth will now work.

Thanks + solution to battery drain (one users experience)

Hi all,

First, Thanks Sanjay for providing this great cleaned-up WM6.1 ROM. I've had no problems with it :)

If I had one request for improving it, or "cleaning up" a little more, it would be to remove the utility in the top-right corner of the screen (next to the clock) that allows closing terminated programs, etc. It's handy, but it's not an official component of the WM6.1 ROM, and some third party apps (SBSH iLauncher provide improved facilities for this sort of thing). Can this utility be removed? If someone can tell me how, I would do it!

Regarding battery drain: I tried WM6 release 4 (Kozhura) and the original PDAVIET WM6.1 and they both worked, however I had the battery drain issue. (Actually, I don't think the battery drained at all --- I think WM6 just didn't determine the battery level correctly and reported that it is drained to 0%.)

I searched in the hx4700 thread and found that "wpl11972" mentioned a HARD reset after flashing would resolve the problem. When your cleaned up 6.1 ROM was released I tried that and it worked! Problem solved!! So, I recommend those with "battery drain" issues to HARD reset their devices. It may solve their problems, too.

Cheers all!

Any solution of hx4700 BT PAN BAG?

Dear all

You may know that our hx4700 has very serious BUG on their Broadcomm BT Stack. It is said that has BT PAN client profile, but doesn't work with host mobile phones at all.

In other hand, expart users succeed to hack Broadcomm Stack and set it on HTC's legency device Universal. And now it works as BT PAN client.

http://www.ruwebit.net/article/275

Our heros Kozhura, sanjay1951, Algasystems, Da_G, PhamQuang, and Ramsses, is it possible to build ROM with corrected BT Stack?

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tapdov:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shamilsh:

I've heard that only in the case of pairing with the Broadcomm BT Stack Host deivice, hx4700 works as client. For example, with Moto Q 9h. But in the case of using with MS BT Stack device or Nokia Phones, hx4700 doesn't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tapdov:
Well I meant that when I choose "Start Personal Area Networking" on my Toshiba e800 (which uses a Toshiba-made stack) it starts a network with my hx4700. The only service I've ever found in other devices was "serial port".

Toshiba e800 is not a Phone but solid PDA, isn't it?

My Documents on SD and throttle filesys.exe

Hello,

I try to have faster and better HX4700 and I found 2 good (I think) tricks.

First one is put "My Documents" where many software write something without possibility to change it to SD Card.

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

In fact the solution I found is rename "SD Card" itself to "My Documents" so there is no "SD Card" anymore because "SD Card" IS "My Docuyments". Because I use CF Card for all my storage purpose and only SD card for temporary use (SD Card is easier to extract than CF Card) this is good soltion for me.

The thing to do is :

1) Backup and Erase content of "SD Card"

2) Copy content of "My Documents" on ROOT of "SD Card" (not in "My Documents" subfolder)

3) Modify :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory

String Name: Folder

Default Value: SD Card

Modified Value: My Documents

4) Delete "My Documents" folder

5) Soft reset, done.

2nd one, throttle filesys.exe

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

I read everywhere with WM6.1 filesys.exe is not an issue anymore compared to WM5. The problem is I never install WM5 to my device to compare so I still think filesys.exe is an issue. I found a little app reduce, I think, this issue.

I modified it for last PdaViet ROM and include all info to modify it for an other ROM :

How to modify patch_filesys for your own ROM

1: Connect HX4700 and verify ActiveSync is correctly running

2: Run command pps.exe -t > out.txt

3: Locate in out.txt the line(s) with msflash.dll

4: The 4 first bytes of this line is the process PID

5: Edit patch_filesys.exe with any hex editor and go to 61Ch the 4 bytes is the search process

(note: there are many search process PID at 61Ch, 620h, 624h and so on, you can modify the 1st as described here or an other)

6: Copy the PID read in out.txt at 61Ch address with BYTES IN REVERSE ORDER.

patch_filesys should now run without error message.

If no you made an error with PID once again you must imput bytes in reverse order.

if you read 12 34 56 78 you must input 78 56 34 12

7: patch_filesys run but have no effect (filesys still eat 100% CPU)

try to see in out.txt if there is an other msflash.dll line with an other PID and try with this one.

Can't load Certificates on Sanjay's SL61V3 HELP!!!

I'm having a real hard time loading a certificate onto my hx4700 using Sanjay's SL61V3. I am using a valid certificate that worked with WM2003 but NOT when I loaded Sanjay's SL61V3. I then flashed back to a WM5 ROM and tried it and it worked great then reflashed back to the SL61V3 and again it isn't working. I assume it is a problem with Sanjay's SL61V3. Without the certificate my 4700 is useless to me since I sync to my exchange server. I know that the certificate works with WM6.1 since I am using it with my HTC xv6800 without any problems.

I saw a couple of posts in this thread reflecting the same problem that have gone unanswered (except for one response that won't work for me and I don't think it's a very viable fix for my situation)

Is there another stable WM6.1 ROM that would work? I'm not seeing a lot of update activity ...am I missing something?

Which ROM gives most free program memory?

Boy I'm busy today. Anyway.... for all you IGO 8 users which ROM gives the most free memory. I'm using PDAviet 6.1kbd and I have, after soft reset, 30.40Mb free Program memory. IGO8 consumes 26.3Mb approx. leaving only 4.1mb to do the intensive work/processing. I would like to have 40 or 50 Mb free. How can this be done, if at all? On older ipaqs 39xx & 55xx you could adjust the storage/program memory via a slider to adjust memory to suit. Can that sort of application be used on our 4700's? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SleepyPrince:
you have to mod your 4700 by adding more ram to it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
That's a hardware solution to swap the 64mb chip to the 128Mb chip (too expensive considering age and new PDA/MOBILE cost now) I'm ideally looking for software solution to do this as currently out of 128MB onboard 80Mb = Storage with 70Mb free, 50Mb Program with 28Mb free (approx). On my ipaq 5550 there is an 'adjust memory usage' slider in the storage menu where you trade off storage with program memory. So I can run igo8 and still have 50MB+ free memory. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
That was when you had Wm2003, where the RAM was used as battery-backed up storage too. Hence the slider to allow more 'running program' RAM to be made available. WM5 and later, the RAM is only for running programs (inc. the OS). To have more free, you need to reduce the memory overhead of the running programs:

- Don't have memory hungry apps running in the background (inc. today plugins)

- Reduce the pagepool (although too low = sluggish performance) - must be done by tweaking the ROM before you flash (search for the modpp utility)

- Reduce the disk cache - note: you can alter the internal flash (the replstor cache) and the external SD cache separately in the registry (or via SKtools or similar). Note that using an SD and CF card at the same time with fixed cache sizes uses twice as much free memory as one on their own. Again, bigger is usually better for performance, but bad for free memory (up to 12Mb for sd/cf and 16Mb for replstor is the max for a 128Mb device - any bigger may cause problems).
