Wow!!

Hey this is fantastic guys...

With all the interest that people are showing, I'm sure we can pick up from where Kozhura left off!! I'm very encouraged indeed.

dpdurst - thank you for hosting the roms.

Algasystems and other cooks - let's keep the kitchens busy!

Regards,

Sanjay

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
ROMs updated

All,

Since we are not likely to see more 4700 roms from Kozhura, I've created a new rom (well two actually with different pagepool sizes) that is a hybrid of the working PDAVIET as modified by me and algasystems, and Kozhura's latest 6.1 that did not work. I plan to stay with this until a new base rom - with a working SDHC in my dreams - is available.

I have added links to both on Post#1 of this thread (DPDURST: If you choose to add these to your site, I will update the link).

From Kozhura rom

1. All functionality of rom. Removed all extra items.

2. Word, Excel, PowerPoint are now part of programs instead of a separate sub-folder.

3. Windows Mobile Black theme.

3. Initflashfiles.dat is cleaner but equivalent to Kozhura.

From PDAVIET

1. Service Quality Management.

Personal preferences

1. Removed unnecessary "My Document" subfolders.

2. Removed sample images and HP_Globe1 desktop.

I am currently using the 8mb pagepool version. I notice a minor difference in speed, but overall both are fine. I can sync using cable and bluetooth. Bluetooth works with my GPS receiver and iGO. I have no way to test BTphone. Cjean perhaps the 4.8mb version on your machine?!:) Wifi works.

Thanks to PDAVIET for a working base and to algasystems for the keyboard and other improvements. IMHO, this is where Kozhura would have ended up with a WM6.1 rom if his 4700 had not died. This rom is about 40kb leaner and as clean as I can make it. It works well for me. While I doubt I can make it any better, hopefully others will keep improving this.

Regards,

Sanjay

Appreciation

Sanjay,

I really appreciate what you have done. Everybody can see from your posts that the last weeks have been hectic for you trying to put together something workable for everyone using the available pieces and the help of others.

Thanks to Kozhura first and PDAViet later as main pillars, and the help of many other testers and collaborators -their names have been acknowledged in your posts- with the "glue" of your personal effort, we have now a ROM that is fast and solid.

I think you can take a rest now. You deserve it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
Ditto to what pepeluu has written. Most appreciative in what people have been able to achieve and share with this community. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ramsses:
Sanjay

Many thanks for this - it was looking a bit bleak for a while when Kozhura left us. Could I ask that your next ROM includes the RDP client too?

Thanks

Andy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alan sh:
Many thanks for your efforts - I am sure it is much appreciated.

A question: Are you using the compressed office programs? This was mentioned in a previous thread somewhere and could save 2Mb of ram.

Hello Sanjay,

Sorry for the confusion, I never had any previous cooked Rom's before on my device. I've jumped from a stable WM2003 to PDAviet 6.1 straight. I can't really comment on any previous cooked ROM's. I had a look to the new Ipaq 210, nice machine but couple of things that turns me off, I haven't made my decision yet because I still love my HX4700.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cjean:
Sanjay,

Thanks for your devoted work to us.

Before I flash, I have a couple of questions:

- Your new built from PDAviet with 8MB page pool still contain the task manager on the upper right screen?

- Is this new built is based on algasystem ROM with task manager removed and reg clean/fix?

Sorry, I'm a little confused in knowing the difference between this new rom and the previous one from PDAviet.

Again thanks for all.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dpdurst:
Well I loaded the clean version of the 6.1 rom on my 4700 this weekend, this morning I fired up Co-Pilot v7 GPS on it and within about 5 mins of running the entire PPC reset on me! I'll be doing another test on the way home to try and determine what happened. If same thing will most likely stick with 6.0 v3 of the ROM since this worked perfectly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cliffster115:
Wow sanjay, your efforts and others are greatly appreciated! I'm very happy to see such involvement and commitment! :) This just made my day, thanks!

I've been using the your 6.1 Rom with Algasystem's edits and it has been a pleasure to use, and pretty much stable for my use. Can't wait to try out the 8mb pagepool version with the collaboration from Koz, you, Algasystem, and PDAviet!

BTW for those new users who are wondering just what increasing the pagepool does, here is a link that I read up on:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gwolford:
WM5torage will allow both SD and CF export (only one at a time).

Well, havent tried it yet, but it should compare well to Phamquangs 20764 rom, but without the additional "customizations" he likes to add (boot screen, some apps). Also, it has Netcf3.5, not 2.0 integrated in the rom.

Now, the 6.5 version is anyone's guess.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spetrie:
Having a few problems with WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20764 Official Style. Managed to get it loaded and started to play with it and then it blanked out. Soft reset did not work. Had to pull battery out. Battery back in and soft reset. Gets to boot screen with 2.61 at the bottom with the background of a regular coloured pattern. Sat at this for 20 mins and gave up. Will not proceed from that screen. Had to hard reset to get it active again. Never had that in all my ROM upgrades.

Giving it a try again.

May have to go back to my original ROM. Anyone else having issues?

I've downloaded and flashed Wm6.5.

I've seen it fast, and i noticed at last IRDA working (my IR portable keyboard will have less dust), BLUETOOTH working and WIFI (WEP) working.

I simply did a SPB Backup and SPB restore from previous WM6.1, and almost all ok, did few fix, added windows default theme posted later.

Every app works good.

The only problem for me is that in past roms i put some apps in rom (cooking a personal ROM). This ROM is instead already full so it seems there's need to delete some files before adding new ones. But who cares, I will use "move shared dll" to SD cards (memmaid function) so i will have more than 70mb of storage free. Memory at startup is 34-35 mb depending on startup apps. Good values I think.

On can remove PHMTRAY from \Windows\Startup if the icons in tray are unused.

I UPDATED MY SIGNATURE :-D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spetrie:
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Have attempted many times to flash new ROM. Once flashed and hard reset I sometimes I get it to start. When I soft reset it gets stuck on boot screen. Hard reset again makes no difference. (No software installed yet) Have managed to to get device working again on HP WM5. Ahh!! I need WM6.1 back

Never had this problem in the past.

Same result with PDAMobiz_WM_6.1_20764_4PP.NB0 & CEOS_WM6.1_R5(kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g).nb0

I am having the same problem. The only way to get back is to fash ROM. I could install all progroms I normally use but when I do a soft reset, it sticks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lhasistos:
I installed Vivi clean , and all works fine with 36 mg from start up , I dont understand why if all 4700 s are the same some of us have bigs troubles and for others its fantastic . I n my case was the only flash thats "clearing data " after a hard reset goes off for itself and the new WM appears in the screen ok. In my experience at the moment its the best rom that even I installed

Its based in PhamQuang as I see but with some apps thats here work fine .

hi all.

Please tell me on which firmware IR (Infrared) port work good?

And how to turn it ON .. ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Hackashaq:
Same here, with both vivi roms 6.1 and 6.5

Soft resets sticks at first HP screen, with the number 2 in the bottom right corner (not 2.61, just 2)

Have to go back to bootl;oader mode and reflash to fix it.

Too bad, since the 6.5 rom was flying before the problem!

I upgraded from Alkor RC, did others having problems do the same? Maybe something is left corrupt in the flash. There are some roms that use the larger 128mb format that takes longer to flash (like Sanjay's), would this format work better?

Can the vivi roms be converted to the larger format?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lhasistos:
OK in Algasys , Sanjay V3 full , and in Vivi Clean all works with IRDA

ALSO IF YOU DONT SET IN CONNECTIONS "RECEIVE ALL INCOMING BEAM" WORKS FINE FOR TRANSFER FILES . Im use and works fine from to another device , in softs its port 3

I have the same. Was running CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g then upgraded to hp4700_2.08.27_b20764_PhamQuang.

Did not go too well so tried WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20764 Official Style Vivi version

I can flash this version and after hard reset it runs, but try a hard reset or soft reset and it gets stuck on boot screen. HP boot screen with 2.61 in lower corner. Only ROM to clear data by itself and start up.

I tired to flash my original CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g but no joy. After hard reset stuck on on boot screen. Not sure why I can't get original running ROM to load.

Only ROM to load now is HP Original WM5 2.01.

Even with HP Original loaded and then flash CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g, I can't get it to run. Stays stuck on HP boot screen but now has 2.01 in bottom instead of 2.61 from Vivi rom.

Got stuck at the boot screen using the 6.5 when it should have only been a soft reset. Had to remove the battery for 15 secs. to fix it. This has happened a few times.

Everything else seems to work fine. It's fast...maybe not fastest...???

It has some Thai language here and there: the calendar seems to be the only problem, with months and days written in Thai script. (to change, go to system\regional settings)

The number 2 on the boot up screen is odd. I used the bootloader that came with the download and not the usual chrismrulz's bootloader (the one available at flying arizona)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gkleding:
SPB Mobile Shell could be the Problem

Having the EXACT same problems and have had to go throgh the EXACT same steps you have. Go into your bootloader file and see if you have any files in the temp file. I had some old ones that had been extracted earlier that did not clean out. I do not think it is the bootloader that starts the program, or the size of the file I too have been running the CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g and will have to go back to it for now. I think it is in the SPB Mobile Shell and Pocket Plus, maybe all SPB. I believe it is creating major registry problems. ALKORs and Kozhuras standalone roms wont allow them to install or you can install them but they do not function properly. Some do not like it because it takes to much control of the registry, but I believe this is why it works so well and allows everything to work together.

For now I will go back to CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g, my head hurts from installing and uninstalling!!

Sunday
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spetrie:
SPB shell not the issue for me. I have not installed any programs yet and still get stuck on boot screen. Have also tried cleaning out all the bootloader files prior to flashing the 4700.

As I said unable to flash back to CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g, but have managed HP WM5 2.01 and WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.

I had both installed and operational but could still not install CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g. Will have to live with WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.

Try Try Again

Have you installed any SPB programs? Even after I reinstalled the ROM to try to get it to work it got stuck, this is without installing ANYTHING. Anyway I I finally reflashed the HP 5.0 with bootloader, could not ever get a screen to come upand that worked. Once I did that I successfully installed CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g. Check your bootloader. I did not use Vivis bootloader, I used the most recent version from chismrulz.

SO you got yours working by installing HP WM5 2.01 and then you installed CEOS_WM6.1_R5_kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g_K5R1g. I have only used chismrlz bootloader (GUI version) This is the first time I have had this issue.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vivi:
For those who have error. Try this.

1.No restore from previuos backup, use ActiveSynce to bring Contacts and Calendar back.

because the different AKU may have something changed.

2.This ROM is cut to 50432 KB , you have to hard reset twice to format the 70+ MB FAT Partition.

3.If not sure , flash 128 MB ROM of DAG or other ROM to bring FAT pattern back, and then flash my 50432 KB ROM sudden after that.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spetrie:
Vivi,

Thanks. I had the HP WM5 on the device and operational. Flashed your ROM.

Hard reset and data cleared fairly quickly.

Device booted: WM6.1 screen up and waited for screen align

Did another hard reset and left system clearing data for over 30 minutes. Did not enter anything on the initial screen prior to 2nd hard reset. Did not go to boot screen.

Tried soft reset but stuck on boot screen. HP screen with 2.61 in lower corner.

Have I done something wrong?

Perhaps you could provide 130MB version of ROM. Only a thought. I can flash HP WM5 130MB ROM with no issues. In the past I have not had issues flashing cut down versions, but now I do. Seems others do too.

Once flash stop , hard reset , clearing data , clearing data goes for itself and splash screen appears , then calibration screen then all ok .

Its the first flash that do this ,in the past all flashed roms stops in clearing data and need a soft reset to work . The only diff was that I never have a 8 m PP previous rom .Im use bootloader V 3 2 4 9 from chris......and xp

All works fantastic
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spetrie:
OK I seem to have done it this time.

Flashed ROM.

Hard Reset (Data clears very quickly)

Before it starts to boot

Do another hard reset. (data clears very quickly)

Let it boot and then align screen

I am now able to soft reset and system boots into WM6.1

I think the key is not letting it boot after first data clear and give another hard reset

Hope this helps others. Now to test. Lets hope

I've loaded WM6.5 yesterday. It is running well but there is one problem on my iPAQ. I cannot perform soft reset. I have to use clean soft reset instead (Calender+iTask+reset button).
