Unable to sync to Vista Sync Center

Hi,

I just flash both DA_g 4mb and Sanjay sk61v2_4mb ROM both ran fine and only tested for about 10 minutes. I have to revert back to Kozura Fix 3 because I am unable to connect to my VISTA PC. Kozura Fix 3 works just fine but the DA_g and Sanjay ROM seem to be faster respond time.

Is this due to the 4MB pagepool that cause the Active Sync problem.

Having problems with sync-ing notes

Hi guys!

I installed the Da_G 4mb pp version on my hx4700 64mb and everything works well, except that i cannot sync my notes :-(

Anyone else that has experienced this and has found a solution?

On all other versions that i have tried this has worked (all Kozhuras versions and even Sanjays pdav61kbd-version which i used last before this).

@cook

I found an Opera 9.xx VGA version (dont know if its 9.5 or 9.33) but it works well on my hx4700.

Can you sync with your PC at all..?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Makedonk:
Hi,

yes, i can sync everything else... Mail, contacts, calendar and tasks from Exchange... And i can also tick notes and mobile favorites when i pair my device with the pc... But when syncing starts the first time, Notes disappear from activesync. And if I try changing settings in the device, Notes is greyed :-(

thx

/Makedonk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
whilst it might not help with your specific issue have you tried the solution that I posted in post number 126. I doubt that it could help you as my issue was more related to a general intermittent sync issue rather than a specific problem as your is.

Maybe someone with more knowledge might offer help if my suggestion doesn't..?

good luck :)

HX4700 WM6.1 with SysOn CF 1GB MEMORY GPS

Have you ever tried it? This CF GPS needed a driver which is for WIN 2003CE. May I use it for the WM6 too? Or need the driver anyway? (Its the memory version of the CF GPS card NOT the simple Plus or Plus II - I know that for those dont need the driver!!)

But I dont know that with my beloved HX4700 under WM6 would work the SysOn CF 1GB Memory III card???

thanks!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cjean:
Man,

The best way is to try it. WM6 may report that your driver was for a previous version of WM but you can install it anyway.

Might be worth the try if you want to save a couple of bucks.

Bluetooth GPS

Bulesz,

If you are buying it from ebay, you should really consider a bluetooth device. You won't need any drivers and it won't drain juice from your device.

Think about it

Charles

Well, apart from that to run the bluetooth... But probably less than the GPS card.

Make sure you get one that's either an m-tek or sirf III chipset.

Browsers

Cjean (Charles) and all,

I use Firefox on my laptop and Opera 8.65 on the rare occasion that I actually need to put up with the unsatisfying browser experience on a 4 inch screen.

However, I did check IE and can confirm that this is a problem with the WM6.1 buile 19199 that is out right now. I checked the original PDAVIET rom and had the same problem. Moving temp files and cookies to SD does not help.

I am working on another rom and will try to find a better version. Meanwhile, the Opera workaround would seem to be the best for now. BTW, I agree version 9.5 looks great, but there is some debate on whether the version that is available on rapidshare is indeed 9.5. May be an earlier 9.33.

Regards.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayme:
Sanjay, I had a go at removing IE altogether from a ROM as I only use Opera... :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
Hello Grayme,

Good thought...did you replace it with Opera in your rom or do you add it afterwards?

I fleetingly thought about removing IE because Opera works better with my banking site (about the only purpose for which I actually put up with browsing on a 4inch screen). Also thought about dropping other apps such as WMP for which I prefer lighter alternatives but left them in the shared roms since they are part of the released version. For personal use, I further modify shared shared roms - which I'm encouraged to see others are doing as well.

I would be interested in knowing how your mods are working for you.

Regards,

Sanjay

Yes but the Bluetooth on is also eat the battery ... or not that hard?

I plan to buy a big 3600 MAH battery for my 4700.

It is a SirfIII SysOn CF Memory 1GB III. I heard many good things about it!

Anybody has an own experience?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Bluetooth is much easier on the battery than the wifi. It's a bit academic if used in a powered mount in a car though!

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayme:
Alas I never got very far. Not being able to use the package tool on this rom (properly), my Rom didn't boot up!

WMP should also go IMHO, tcpmp is so much better. Powerpoint, excel (and word if a lighter text reader was available) should go too.

The games are easy too remove. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
WM6.1 Lite?

Given the recent discussion on browsers and as I mentioned earlier, I use a rom that is modified from the standard released version. If anyone is interested I can share a WM6.1_Lite version I am using. It is based on my SK61V02_8 but is lighter by about 5.5mb. I have removed:

- IE (I use Opera)

- WMP (can't do true gapless playback)

- Calculator (more useful ones exist such as hiCalc)

- PowerPoint ('nuf said)

- BT Phone Manager (never used and don't intend to)

- Sample templates (I make up my own word and excel)

I've left games for now...I get bored sometimes. Anyway, it works for me but may not be for everyone.

Problems Upgrading

Hello!

first of all many thanks for your continuing efforts!

second, I'm not able to upgrade my 4700 using the bootloader whatsoever. I successfully upgraded to kohzura's fix4 because it had a different packaging i suppose, but whenever i try to use the bootloader, the usb-tty app freezes and does nothing. I left it like that for an hour or so, thinking that it might be working in the background but it didn't do anything at all..

Any thoughts?

thanks in advance

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Donald24:
Hello there,

Nice work folks. Pimping and speeding up the HX4700 is really the way to go...

Since the WM6.1 I feel like speed is reborn, and compaction is no issue anymore. I've tried PDAviet's 6.1 rom and the Da_G 4MB one, but all of them exhibit the sync-issue I am having with WMDC 6.1.

Having "advanced network functionality" on or off, it doesn't matter, it syncs after a reset only once (and just if you're lucky enough), if you take it out of the cradle, the PPC won't notice the disconnection, still havin' the two arrows on the taskbar. In this state sometimes WiFi wont start anymore, hanging up the system, you have to reset again.

I could live with this, if I wouldn't need the synching, but I have my diabetes database on that ppc, so I cannot lose that functionality.

The WM6.0 was synching just fine, and I had no problem with anything.. but speed is just not up to par with 6.1, compaction is still a problem with 6.0

I've tried several registry hacks, i.e. manual exchange schedule, disconnect after synch..., none of them helped.

It seems to me, this is an USB driver problem, my PPC connects hub-less directly to the mb.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Don

Old Rom Backup?

Hello all!

I have been watching this thread and the Kozhura thread for many months now and I am incredibly impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge of the people involved! Before I had twins, I would be in there like a dirty shirt, but currently I do not have the luxury of development time! I am also incredibly impressed with the spirit of assistance and sharing that both threads have displayed - so congrats to everyone!

Before I try upgrading to the Da_G rom, I was wondering if there is any reasonably straightforward way to back up my old rom (WM 5.0) just in case I have to restore it (which I am hoping I won't have to do!). I am willing to take the leap regardless, I just like to be prepared for the worst!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
If I use the batch file in the post above by rayone, what about this part:

In order to add those compressed files do I need to run the viewimgfs program as well, and then go into the folders by hand as per the instructions in the readmes? Therefore, I'm thinking maybe this should be done before doing the batch file instructions so it doesn't mess up the header info? Unsure. :confused:

Also, in the above quote, what's with the deleting and adding of the same files or is this just for example purposes?

Thanks for the list of these rayone, it helps with consolidation.

All that's required is to have the compressed files in the same dir as the batch, or change the path in the batch. No need to extract.

Basically you're replacing the uncompressed versions with the compressed versions.

How to "customize" some roms

THE LINK AT THE END IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CUSTOMIZE DA_G ROMS (4mb or 8mb).

I'VE TESTED SOME REPLACING AND SOME REMOVING, I THINK THIS BAT FILE

DOESN'T DAMAGE HX4700 FUNCTIONALITY AND LEAVES FREE SOME MORE MEMORY.

ONE CAN ALSO MOVE IN \WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS THE FILES

IN \WINDOWS\STARTUP, FREEING SOME MORE MEMORY AND LOADING BT/WIRELESS APPS WHEN NEEDED.

THERE ARE THE UPX-ED FILES AND THE MAMAICH TOOLS.

YOU ONLY NEED TO ADD THE ROM YOU WANT TO CUSTOMIZE (.nbf file) IN THE SAME FOLDER WITH THESE FILES.

IF YOU USE VIEWIMGFS YOU CAN VIEW OTHER FILES TO COMPRESS OR REMOVE AND USE THE SAME METHOD.

HOPE THIS HELPS. DON'T REMOVE WCPLUGIN.DLL OR DEVICE WON'T BOOT AND WILL HAVE TO REFLASH.

PAY ATTENTION THAT COMPRESSING SOME DLL (for example SHELLRES) WITH UPX CAUSE SOME ICONS TO NOT BE SHOWED.

http://rapidshare.com/files/100233270/ENHANCE_DAG_ROM.zip.html

HOW TO PUT ROM IN THE DEVICE

Have to use Bootloader by Chrismultz.

Make a folder named BOOTLOADER in root of your hard disk (or other name with absolutely no spaces inside), put bootloader.exe there with the .nbf file too.

Put the device in bootloader mode (reset with stylus holding down right and up left buttons).

Click on bootloader.exe, then select the right .nbf file.

http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=243984

After doing this do a soft reset (stylus) and after (device still not working) one or two hard reset (reset with stylus holding up right and up left buttons, then confirm with down left button only).

If you bootload same os version, but different cooked rom, you can use spb backup or sprite backup (i use the 1st) to restore settings, databases of contacts, tasks, messages, registry settings, and apps registration informations; sometimes have to fix time 1 or 2 times after a device hang, after this i hadn't other problems.

Regarding to another comment about the RAM on your ipaq, is it really worth the time and money to get the hx4700 upgraded to 128MB by PPC Techs? I think they are the only company who is still offering the service, and last I checked, it was $159 to get it upgraded.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
I am saddened to hear that Kozhura will not be doing more ROMs. This was to be an interim until he returned with a working release of wm6.1. So you may be right that this is where we could hear about others. I hope someone with Kozhura's talent will pick up from where he's left us.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
You're welcome and yes it does indeed appear to be faster than WM6. Now that Kozhura has sold his 4700, I truly hope there is some other genius that can replace him here. I will surely miss him. Hopefully he will still contribute to the forum and guide others.

Yes in my opinion the 128mb upgrade was worth it for the 4700 when I did it a few years ago. I have seen other reviews that under WM5-6 it doesn't make much difference - but the way I see it, more memory

can't possibly hurt

. However, now that the HP210 is available at $399, I would have to think hard about spending $159 on just the memory upgrade for a beloved, but old device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
Vivi,

I assume (because I don't have it) that Kozhura's last 6.1 ROM still had the RGU files. Do you think they would be useful to bring back into this one? Otherwise, the 6.0 ROM had them so maybe they would help to save time? Not sure how much has changed from 6.0 to 6.1. Just a thought...
