Success report

Hi, this is a success report I just flashed the 20273 rom (that is linked on the first page of this thread) on my blueangel device:

Eplus branded with Qtek logo on the front, PH20B model, with 1.40 GER OS (WM 2003 SE) and 1.12 Radio; bought new from price-guard.de.

At first I tried to upgrade the Radio from 1.12 to 1.15 - this failed (country id error, MaUpgrade did not help).

Then I flashed the 20273 rom (WM 6.1), and after a little irritations (reboot took longer than 30 seconds, seemingly no reaction to the D-button press) this worked fine - it's now english not german but that's fine.

After this I tried Radio update to 1.15 with the second method (manually going into USB screen, then starting upgrade) - and it worked.

WM 6.1 works great now, avoiding the data loss when changing the battery is worth the upgrade alone, but a number of other features work better as well, so the usefulness of the device is really enhanced.

Thanks to everyone who was involved in these works!

Now what remains to be done is a) find a way to sync the notes with Outlook (using Win XP SP2), b) german keyboard layout support, c) tool that allows turning on (& draining battery) only with the power button, d) task manager. But it seems there are various solutions out there so this should be no problem.

Hey Mr. xplode!

so... can I use the kitchen on your first post to port new builds or do you have a newer one? i mean... last build of 6.1 and new 6.5 :confused:

Hey Mr. xplode!

I have download your 20931 folder.. entire rar file... put it on c:/ run the buildOS and it shows an error something that it cant found a pakagecommon 5.2.0.0... file not found let me upload an image of my error... i will try the 202XX

im put all files of folder TOOLS to root of folder 20931 and then run createROM.bat or buildOS and works.

Then cut and paste all the tools to the root folder 20931 to get it work?

Asi que descomprimo todos los archivos en una carpeta llamada 20931...

Despues todas las herramientas d ela carpeta TOOLS las pongo en afuera? dentro de la carpeta 20931 junto con los archivos... de buildOS y el bat?

I've encounter the same problem a few nights back, and my work around was to placce pkgcommon.dll (located at the tools directory) to the root directory, in your case the directory where buildos.exe resides.

Hope this helps.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] se':
yes, the dll called pkgcommon.dll (how says Mnemonique) to directory root then you execute the buildOS..

but im put all files into root directory for possible problems when execute the createROM.bat

Si, el dll llamado pkgcommon.dll (como dice Mnemonique) al directorio 20931(raiz) despues ejecutas buildOS y listo.

pero yo pongo todos los archivos de la carpeta TOOLS hacia la raiz por posibles problemas cuando ejecutas el createROM.bat

Hello!

First of all, thank you very much for all the work you do.

I am using 20273 and it's very fast and everything seems to work quite allright.

The only thing I don't really understand is the memory handling. Whenever I install a programm, I get the choice to install it to the "device" or "storage card", after I selected "device" it gets installed into the "storage" part of the memory, rather than the "programs" part. Is this normal behaviour? My device tells me:

Total Storage Space: 60.30 MB - Free Space 18.79 MB

Total Programs Space: 93.13 MB - Free Space 63.09 MB

This is after installing just a few programs, I sure will run out of memory very soon...

Possibly I am just not fully understanding how things work, but shouldn't programs be installed into the "programs" part of the memory, rather than the "storage" part?

I am using a T-Mobile MDA III, previously running WM5 with no memory space problems at all.

Thanks for any answer.

few things to ask...

First: Everything works ok with the PKGCOMMON on the root thanks guys... but 20931 has a bug on sync i cant sync with XP and activesyn 4.5 even if i try to enable or disable the advanced network checkbox... so I back to WMG.S

Second I have few questions:

1.- To add a program as OEM ofcourse i need to get the OEM package or transform a cab into OEM does anybody knows how can I do this? so if i have the OEM folder where I need to place it?

2.- How can I get a Build and separate it into sys oem and rom folders...

3.- What did I get if i finally get this 3 folders I mean OEM has all the programs... SYS has the Reg Hive... and rom Has the... i dont know what does I have... I heard somebody that this means Dump a ROM froma final ROM nk.nbf.

And many more oncoming... jejeje sorry if I´m looking as an idiot but i dont want to brick my device just to start learning to cook.

Thnaks in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
SYS forlder is for MS(OS) stuff only, OEM is for added stuff, drivers, oem programs, predefined settings, tweaks etc.

when you dump rom you must rebuild the packages there are many apps that do that for you sometimes packages builders place all oem packages in sys folder but you can recognise them easy, most of them start with OEM in the name
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:

well i still cooking but i got another thread for WM 6.5, these builds were my incomplete work and i have no time to go back to WM6.1 development i got 21014 WWE build working and unreleased ... but i have no time to finish it either, now if you take a look i am no WM 6.5 base :)

my absence of rom cooking for a while was because i had no much time to do it, and the nest summer will be the same way maybe

Hey Xplode!

I will try your rom later on since my BA has been slowing down considerably for the last few days (becoming more unstable in the process). I am running one of the pdaviet roms ((not sure which one :D, I can't remember) 1.9176, I think). Anyway, I believe it was concluded after quite a bit of testing that the optimum balance of ram for the pagepool was 16 MB. Did you just put the full 32 mb in this one for the hell of it (to see if it performed better), or did you have something else in mind?

I was thinking about this pagepool thing yesterday, and I thought that maybe just like as Windows versions evolve, requiring more and more memory/resources, etc, WM would also require more pagepool as it evolved. I think that 2003SE was set to 2 mb by default and the system run fast. We then moved to WM5 and 2 mb slowed our devices down to a crawl. We took it to 16/32 and it became blazing fast (with no slowdowns over time). Now WM6.1, with 16 mb my BA slowed down after a few months of use. If your 32 mb doesn't slow down with time, then I will have proven my theory, which will only mean that we will only be able to take our BAs so much further (probably not past WM7 or WM8, and that is a big stretch!). Just my two cents.

All in all, Good Job!!

Error 86000107

In my case I have XP on work PC and Vista x64 at home. Had this error with earlier 6.1 and first attempt to sync back with 1-st PC was not successfull (may be due to bad USB hub). So I will try again and report here.

Added: Confirm that problem exists when sync with two PCs:

- Activesync 4.5 on winXP

- WMDC on Vista x64

you can sync only with one PC. If you sync with second, and then return to first you will have error message like "Activesync encountered an error on PC" (aka error 86000107)

Looks that this is not particular ROM error, but error supplied with all WM 6.1 ROMs

Falling back to 6.0

I noticed that even if the text messages / emails are deleted permanently, they reappear as unread messages after reboot.

This looks like a bug. I have no additional program loaded, I just have basic ROM occupying 3.3 MB storage space. Any clue?

@ahassouna your wlan issue is an isolated case, i have never heard anyone to encounter bug like this in mamaich,tuatara, helmi, logout, or anybody's rom an you are the first one with this kind of issue, it may be caused by third party software. Your MMS problem is fixable - aaraj posted you the needed files, you should read what i type in first post (that the cabs from my last rom can be used, and if you have read the 1 and 2 post from my last roms thread you will find links to MMS app, why you people dont read ?)

@thejasco - i dont quite understand your problem, can you elaborate ?

@April 1 - i haven't encounter a problem like this here, maybe because i reboot after pressing the power button and wait a couple of seconds before reset, this way you can not screw anything in the OS , but if you reset working device it is unpredictable what will happen on next boot :) You do not need .NET 3.0 or 3.5 to be installed , the rom has inside .NET 2.0 SP2 like any other WM6 and WM6.1 rom it is there by default, if you use application which require newer version of .NET then you must install it.

@aaraj - Well i can not test every BT headset .... it is quite hard to make working rom which is compatible with all the BT Headsets (i must have them all for testing in order to fix any possible bug) i do not own BT headset so i havent tested it, the Bt settings are defaults of the Cingular (AT&T) wm 6.1 19209 rom i have not changed anything

I use this rom for more than a week without soft resseting and never have a strange bugs like some of you mentioned with time the rom starts to consume more than the half of the available ram, but does not slowdown a bit :) we are lucky to have 128 RAM :)

@xplode,

I think that what he is trying to say is that whenever you click and hold on an icon (or folder) in the File Explorer, you don't get an option to check the properties anymore. I did notice that as well, but didn't pay too much attention to it.

By the way, I have tried all of my BT devices and they all work flawlessly. WiFi also connects to all of my preferred locations (work, home, etc).

Stability and speed have remained the same (really good) since I installed it 4 days ago and even battery life is much improved over older versions (even with BT and S2U2 active, which tend to have quite an impact on the battery). I will keep on reporting if I find anything else..
