Bootloader is different wich is more than enough :P
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
Thanks for the 21193 release, AndrewSh!

First impressions:

1) the context menu opens slower (the circle when you tap and hold an object). You see that already in the tap-screen-to-setup-device.

2) The wait symbol (the 4 coloured balls) got bigger

3) the Startmenu cannot be closed with another click on Start (which was usual way to close, because with wktask it is shut down forever when you press the X button).

4) the Black theme was nicer than the Blue theme, looked more professional.

5) the scrolling of the start menu has become better and faster. However, it is still not as smooth as in e.g. Pocket Informant.

6) the lock screen is now animated but also slower and more buggy.

7) you can move the items in the startmenu (complicated but possible), and they now also stay there after a reset.

So, MS is far from being perfect, but slowly it is getting better. We have to wait until 2015 :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
parkhaus, thnx for the analysis.

Point 1. I suppose - I found the reason in Shell. If it really works - I will upload dll to change in \Windows to kick system's ass for faster response.... Hopefully lockscreen will also become faster...

About themes - if I'm not lasy - I simply draw smthng for background (like it was with black one). Now I was really lazy - just picked up blue default stwater and simply moved the color balance to make it more blue..... Normally original themes in donor SYS look.... how to say in a polite way..... a bit sophisticated for me.... as a creation of insane individual.....

P.S. Concerning p1. Dll replacement causes device's death. So I just recooked the rom with that dll - it really became faster. Pity that it's not possible just to add a file. But anyway I will collect the feedbacks and make minor improvements, than I will upload ver 2. That's it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
1. I mean you're a begger....pppplease...cook that and this...

2. it is just boring that you ask to cook your 21028...nobody wants that!

3. no...but I'm talking to you!

....and first you wanted to have 21028 and was disappointed with 6.5 ...but now you changed your mind?...wtf....and grow up! a little criticizing won't hurt you! :D:p

....Andrew is doing great work I think and he is giving us the possibility to use 6.5....so you guys just be thankful and it would be alot helpful if you post a bit more feedback....then Andrew would know what to improve!

AND those guys who are posting here absolutely STUPID questions like........ohhh can you tell me please how to run your 6.5 on my opal or hpq...or whatever......are absolutely NUTS! Guys I wonder anyway, why it is so hard to understand for you that the software can not be the same for different hardware!!!!! SO THIS HERE IS ONLY FOR ASUS P525!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
sorry, AndrewSh, i am unsuscribing topic.

good luck.

downjones, try to cook 1 good rom(342% tcpmp test @ 400 mhz, 1 week on 1 charge, 33 mb mem free after boot) to say i am nab.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
There's no bootloader in my rom. The hardware driver set is the main thing - they call it XIP & OEM.... The rest is similar.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Good to know that "holy war" is over. Please, no more **** measuring here. Let's act like adults. I am nab, ok? Hope everyone is satisfied....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cRaZyzMaN:
Andrew any solution for my problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Your problem is slow homescreen refresh on startup or resume. As I wrote already - I found the solution.

Ver 2 shell is much faster in that way. Hopefully the problem will be solved when I upload the new ver and you will flash it. I am lazy to look for headphones to check it. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cRaZyzMaN:
i hope it works

thanks for the solution

btw this is the best rom ever for asus p525

XIP 21193 ported by Alexx~.

SYS 21193

Fast and smooth. Wait cursor - changed for 21169 type one (small and not so ugly looking). Copy/paste circle appearance - fixed to be faster.

Three tsk files - blue, red, black (see screen shot and say thanx to parkhaus for that - he told me that it's time to add smthng not so simple). Stupid tsk names from donor SYS remained untouched 'cause I'm a member of a club of lazy bastards and don't want to fix registry:). Only the backgrounds changed.

Added to first post.

cRaZyzMaN not sure that your problem is fixed. If not - leave the blame to MS not to me. And wait for upcoming releases.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
Wow, AndrewSh, you are VERY quick! Thank you so much! Great job....

I was just thinking today, quite a few people complain about the new start menu in WM 6.5.

there is a freeware called Quickmenu which gives you an "old-style" startmenu.

Now I know AndrewSh does not like to cook "external programs" into his ROMs, but this freeware takes about 400kB if you install it as a .cab, or only a few kB if you cook it into the ROM (both versions are included in the download).

If you want to see screenshots and find the link for download, go here.

I went back to the 21169 release (I have not checked out yet the 21193v2, but it looks very promising), and I configured it so that if you press the startmenu button short, the quickmenu startmenu appears, and if you press it long (about 1 sec), then the WM6.5 startmenu appears. Maybe worth a thought if you do not like the new menu....

Thanks once more for the 21193v2! Nice themes...will the Windows Black with the Asus logo (from 21169) also work with 21193v2 if I copy it over?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cRaZyzMaN:
andrew downloading the rom, i will give you news

i have the same problem, even if i reboot the device i cant get sound from the phone, sometimes it just go crazy and it functions properly, lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
parkhaus, thank you. I know this utility. Actually, my Russian friends include it into rus versions of their roms.

cRaZyzMaN - kinda misunderstanding from my side :). You have no sound after you use headphone and then disconnect it? Normally it's a hardware problem and it happens very often with 525. I wrote about it already somewhere in the topic. It's a malfunctioning of the micro switch inside the socket. Just take a toothpick and slightly move it inside the hole for the headphone jack - that's it. It's not a problem of a rom....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cRaZyzMaN:
Andrew you are the man, it works, at least for now

Thanks again
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
You know, the tsk in 6.5 also uses png resources that are not included directly in tsk - they placed straight in rom like separate files.

You can do following:

1. Extract the picture from my tsk with asus logo and apply it as a background picture.

2. Take the whole tsk with logo and rename it to one of the included tsk - thus it will be able to use png resources (they have correspondent names).

Normally the old tsk will work if simply added without renaming but I suppose you will loose all 3d scrollers and bars - they will be replaced by standard flat ones (as in 6.1)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
Looks promising, thanks for the new build!!

I just tried it, and (despite the slower copy/paste circle) I have not noticed any problems. Even Pocket Informant today plugin works normally again.

The only thing is, I actually want to USE my P525, so I always have to re-install all programs and recover all settings after flashing, which takes a while.

Nice job on the startup splash screen and the themes!!

Hii

I was a little absent from this forum, and I am wondering which is the best wm6.5 for my asus p52, without any bugs!!!?? Tnx in advance!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Without any bugs? Sounds cool! All 6.5 are betas. What do you mean by that? Even the official 6.0 release has bugs.....:)

The best one - is on my phone, but I am not going to publish it for now.... Still improving some small things.... :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] worker_x:
hehhe I wanted to say, which is wm6.5 with minor bugs, or without enourmous bugs like: not working WLAN, or sound, or something else :):)I will wait until you publish your version!!!:):)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
worker_x, sound, wifi and "something else" are fully functional in my roms. And it's not a fact that I will publish my own rom. I pay for the traffic and it costs 10 times higher in my damned country than in the rest of the world. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Premananda_laishram:
Lite version

Hi Andrew, Is it possible to make a 6.5 rom without 'synchro time' and 'titanium theme'. Have no use for it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Normally - yes. It is possible. But the problem is that I do not make tailor-made stuff. I upload my own roms. I use synchro time (20 kb - non-resident) and Titanium (possible to switch off). You are free to make your own rom with or without anything you want. Rom Kitchen for that purpose - somewhere in Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking - I published it long ago - just search for it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vmixez:

so-so-sorry my bad english

Andrew good work! :) Thank you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Thnx for bug report. I know about it - just forgot to fix rgu.

Go [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock]

"SK2TEXT"="Contacts" - change for "SK2TEXT"="Set Time". Reboot.

Bad English means nothing if the post is valuable! :) Stupid post in excellent English is worse.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cRaZyzMaN:
Hello Andrew it gives me an error checksum error, i try to flash with original rom and it just gave me the same error
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sima00:
i think, format (fat16) SD card and reupload rom file, solved checksum error!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Atis:
yes, format FAT 16 or 32 you card. and anyway running the AsusUnlockLangID.exe. I think...:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nezz:
How can I change the left softkey? It always switches back to Contacts after soft reset, while I want to use it as Call History.

SPB Weather component still doesn't work, but activesync problems have been solved (looks like).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Normally it should return to Contacts. If you wanna change it for yourself - I gave the destination already - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome

Check the whole string, find "SK2TEXT"="Contacts" and correspondent MSCONTACTS value and change it for whatever you want. I suppose it should be quite clear for everyone..... Especially for you. I am not going to do that - I'm satisfied with the default meaning.

But normally your demand is a bit useless. In Titanium there is an item PHONE (two clicks up from the Clock). Just go to it and push Enter (by joystick) - you will get Call History menu.

I suppose you did not check all the features of your phone before you started to complain....

Thanks for this lastest build ROM.

I have first time loaded a ROM on my device. And its runs succesfully. ;)

i fixed the "second contacts text" at today screen, now its looks more better. :)

i have a question. How to customize my incoming call ringtone? i cant find to how add my mp3's to list.

i discovered another thing. Resco Explorer doesnts runs correctly. To use it without any problem;

@ Resco Explorer

Menu>options>customize>

uncheck "enable touch scrolling"

May its about the WM6.5's touch scroll system. I dont know anything about it.

Another bad english guy :D

Thanks for ROM again :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sima00:
opps!

Battery charge very slow! (5h 0-35%)

(ha a magyar világnyelv lenne kérném belefőzni...áj tink)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Just put your mp3 to the root of your Storage Card, or to \Windows, or to \My Documents\My Ringtones and than go Start\Settings\Sounds and Notifications\Notifications. Your ringtone will appear in drop-down menu Ring tone.

Other way - create a custom folder on your Storage card, for example Music. Than go HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory and change "\Windows" for your "\Storage Card\Music". Normally it's a common tweak and I should not explain that.

Normally I use Resco in standard mode. But I've enabled touch scrolling now in it on my phone and it works. Anyway I wrote in the first post - I do not provide any compatibilty with the third party software installed. There is NO compatible software for WM6.5 for now. WM6.5 is not officially released yet!

Right now I am charging my phone - everything works as it would. Normal charging. You better check your hardware. I can not confirm that bag. And anyway the charging process has nothing to do with the new rom - the OEM part of the rom stayed untouched since the last official release of Asus. I do not develop any new hardware drivers.

My advice - reflash the rom. Once one guy here started to complain that the battery drains too fast (2 or 3 hours and it's gone). I offered him to reflash the same rom again. And it worked for him......

One more thing - forum rules here have a point about the language. How would you like if I start to answer here in Russian, using IT slang so you would not be able even to use online translator? So please - no Hungarian in your posts - first of all the encoding is wrong for some users and special letters with some **** upstairs look strange, second - it's kinda disrespect to forum rules and to other non-Hungarian users.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Atis:
Simple solution: copy ringtone file the Storage Card root or \Windows\Rings\ folder.

Sorry, i dont understand :) Try checking the custom mode. I work.

Aaahhh, Andrew always proceded!:)

hun post deleted:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
BTW, sima00, I started to charge my phone half an hour before I wrote my previous post from 20%. Now it's already 99%. So - charging works fine. I still have the first original battery hardware ver 1.2..... Pretty old, but it still works.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nezz:
Resco Explorer works fine for me in touch optimized mode.

@sima00: Battery charge is all up to your active sync connection if you charge it via USB (just like me). If I need fast charge I use my normal charger.

Can we add a weather dock to here ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
I told already - normally it's the same. Enabling Titanium does not switch off hooks from normal homescreen items, enabling Windows default - uncheck all the check boxes. That's it.

Second - MSN Weather Widget does not work properly - I've tried it several times.

Hello everyone, I am new here, new on P525 too, and thanks for these 50 pages full of information.

This is my second day with 21.202. It looks stable and fast. Some problems, however:

1. No possibility to make a selection (to delete or copy a block of text) in the writing window of SMS.

2. Is it possible to make a call (call the last dialed number or a favorite number) from the headset without having to touch the PDA? (It would be great when driving - in Vietnam we pass a lot of time on the motobike :D ).

Thank you a lot Andrew and all of you for the great job done.

Now i flash 21500 and it looks fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
New build 21500

Thanks for the 21500 build!

I was eager to try it, so I flashed it and here are my 5 cents about it:

1) Looks nice, and seems to be quite fast, especially if you switch off the CPU Auto mode! And all the symbols look nicer in the settings page...

2) The "Modem Link" and the "Internet Sharing" feature is back! Thanks.

3) I have not yet tried the call-in feature with the 1minute bug. However, what happens if you disable PIN protection and you lose your phone? The "finder" will not need any PIN to phone around. Somehow, disabling PIN does not seem secure for me. Is there another solution?

4) bswitch.exe is good (like always) but bswitchset.exe is missing. It is not possible to adjust the behaviour of bswitch.exe without it. AndrewSh, can you please help out?

5) I use this newly developed freeware keyboard now from xda-dev, it's very good.

6) I hope very much that MS will someday make the IE scrollable with gestures. In all other programs, scrolling (just like on the iphone) works very well already, in IE it does not :(

7) if you check the "Wireless" item in the today screen setup (old style), there is a strange symbol for Bluetooth. Small bug though only.

Finally, I am amazed about our P525. It is quite old but still very capable! Thanks to AndrewSh for keeping it up-to-date!
