[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
OK, it's possible that radio ver cause some problems. I would anyway recommend to upgrade it to 4.7 at least. That's the direct link to Asus ftp: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/IA/P525/P525-FW-V4700.zip

But most of all I think your problems are caused by PIN Code check enabled. Just disable PIN check on boot and try again. I suppose it will fix your imcomings.

P.S. Thanx for the nice words about my city. City is really nice and the girls are the main decoration of it :)

still a messed up alarm screen setup..... see the pic :eek:...and the icons on the quick link short cut bar are not completely seen...the buttom edges are cut from the button start bar....like the problem before :)

Just found another bug: when I press on top icons like battery, clock etc then TitleBarScreen comes out...but if I press on "clock icon" on the TitleBarScreen then the battery setup comes out......

....and I am wondering why nobody else reports bugs here????
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
To downjones

1.

Please tell - what the f*ck is wrong for you with these bloody icons????? Just don't be lazy to make the screenshot of your phone and post it here is possible. What the hell is cut-off there??? Or you want me to extract these icons from AsusStatus.exe for you to compare and calculate the "missed" pixels?

2.

If you would not spend all your free time finding bugs in my roms - you would be able to read this thread. Than you would know that all the bugs you mentioned are build-specific. Hate to disappoint you but these are Microsoft bugs - not my ones.... Let them fix the bugs.... or you may write straight to mobile.microsoft.com and leave your feedback. All these also refers to the screenshot you posted for alarms...

So buddy - for the future - stop blaming me for MS bugs. Here is not MS thread for beta testers and my name is definitely not Steven Anthony Ballmer. Read the useful topic I mentioned in order not to be disappointed flashing the new build and leave your feedbacks there.....

P.S.

Listen, dude, are you Russian? Reading your posts causes that strange feeling.... Your uncompromising conviction that all the world owes you..... Typical Russian outlook (no offence - I'm natural born Russian too)... If it's so - you may write in your native tongue here - it's no use for others to read this bull****.....

I'm just curious - why the hell do you try to flash my ugly buggy roms? It's kinda masochism or some very special dalliance? Flash new build - hooray!!!! - this bloody bastard AndrewSh again failed and made a ****!!! Why nobody says he's an asshole? OK, let's say - you have a kitchen from pdamobiz - so I'm waiting for YOUR rom - I suppose it is PERFECT and I would like to have it on my phone. When????? Just define the time and a link.

P.P.S. Just some statistics - reason for editing the post - amount of downloads at my account (rapidshare): 23034 - 100, 23037 - 52 (for now). Does the amount of feedbacks (except yours) tell anything to you?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Prusten:
Oh it works, it works ZTA4!!! T9 and SMS's address auto-completion function! Thanks AndrewSh to make it possible and thanks EABRILLOS, I though stick to 21731 and then I found your post...

MANY THANKS,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
well if you don't see the difference then I can't help :)

First of all I have my own company to run since I am an investment broker....so I got no time to read "THIS THREAD"....but thanks for your advice!!!

Second of all I NEVER SAID THAT it is your fault!!! I just said where the bugs are...I didn't say Andrew hey you asshole it is your fault....never said that...so you are obviously just emphasizing.....

Andrew not to let you die in ignorance....yes I am russian but I do not live in Russia since 17 years....so I am more European than russian. Besides I never said that the world owes me....you're just hallucinating. Furthermore saying just "typical russian outlook" is not just insane it is childish. Every person is different! But I do not want to start a discussion with you here about races.....

So now we come to your useless question: why am I flashing your roms..... because it is like passion I like to try new things and to tweak them....so...it is not about dalliance to you dude........

However it looks like you don't like any criticism about your roms, it is just a sign of immaturity.....and to make you happy I am not a rom cooker ...I don't have time for this :).....besides if you like it or not I will always say what I think....and from your side a simple answer like: ...I do not see the bug on the icons....and those alarm set messup is microsofts fault......... but you are like a girl...pressing the **** out yourself and making such a drama....learn to give explicit answers! I do not want to have a romance with you ))))))))
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
It means - small hanky-panky between buyers and sellers? :) Dude, we are colleagues! But I prefer to define myself as a financial consultant :)

C'mon, I'm in this business for at least 17 years with my three companies. No time? Don't make me laugh :)

I would not die - believe me. Because your Russian origin is pretty obvious - it's enough for me to read your posts to see it.... Even my younger sun (he's 20 yo) read your post and said - that guy - definitely from Russia - not from Moscow of course.... But probably something like Urals or the Kazakhstan border.....

No comment!!! Just excellent!!! Hats off to downjones everybody!!! No - I have one comment: it's a big disgrace to be ashamed of the origin!!!

Races..... I see..... again races.... painful theme, isn't it? Every person... different.... But .... some distinguished individuals .... are more different than the others.... Very familiar words.... So who's the kid here, Mr Broker?

I really appreciate it! Seriously!!! No ****!!! :)

Know what? I can not learn - I'm too old for learning, sorry....

Me either - I'm old-school guy - I never understood that kind of relationship (between two males... I hope you're a male?)

To all!!!

I am really sorry that I afforded to have some fun with my replies to the posts of funny guy downjones. It's totally flood but sometimes I like have a good time.

Once again - sorry. :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mickutz:
i have installed the latest version with the touch flo you have posted a couple of pages behind and works great (encountered only a few problems but i can live with them)

thank you very much again, it's getting better since the first version i've used
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tkyuo:
Nope! I appreciate all ur effort on the ROM for P525, thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
Investment Broker and Financial Consultant are 2 different things :)

Its not about how many companies you have...it is about time and money :)

...well originally am not from the Urals nor from Kazakhstan... but guys nice try.....maybe your son can guess how much money I got on my swiss account? ))))

I am not ashamed to be russian...I am proud of what I am :)

well well look at him, he likes to turn around and try to screw the people from another angle.....

I almost believed that.... try harder!

ohhh well I see.. so you rather prefer to stay an old moron?

I said no romance....

only sometimes????! I love it every time :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
dude thanks for the hints ...I tried everything it just always hangs and nope no white screen it just like a freezed screen...I can not touch anything even hardware key buttons don't work....so I must apply soft reset. But honestly ....624mhz is maybe just 5% faster but has a bigger draw on battery...and my battery is right now hot enough at 520mhz :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
You disappointed me.... I thought you're adult..... Sounds like kindergarten talks.... For sure you may try to start **** measuring here - but not with me. I am not interested any more..... Let's stop for now otherwise I will ask moderating guys to clean the topic.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nezz:
Looks like the friendship is over, for now...

I had to charge my P525 again to check out what MS made in the last few weeks. Thank you, great work as always AndrewSh :) Without you I think I would have to switch to a newer phone earlier.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
So guys and gals - next 23041 is out and as far as I see on my device - MS guys finally fixed Titanium plugin. Not ideal result but acceptable for usage. They also fixed hardware Volume control - now it's possible to adjust volume straight without taping on TitleBar. Also taping clock on titlebar now shows appointments - not the bloody battery....

The only think left unfixed is Alarms menu - it's still a bit wrong. Anyway - next build is usable and if I'm not lazy - I will upload it tomorrow.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kojakojakoja:
Upload sites

p.s. I guess it would be much easier to UPLOAD FILES to some other place that the "usual suspect" Rapidshare.

Here are my favorites, the first one being absolute favorite:

http://dropGet.net/

http://www.WillHostForFood.com

http://www.mediaFire.com

http://www.easy-share.com

http://www.uploading.com

http://www.2shared.com

http://www.4shared.com

..

http://dropGet.net/ is THE easiest place for sharing. See for yourself - it looks like Google and even more simple: only one sentence and two buttons, no registration, no mail, no nothing; just upload and leave, simple as that.

At least it files could be uploaded to more than one uploading server, i.e. Rapidshare AND DropGet.net for instance, or any other server, at will.

Cheers...

Koja (read: Koya)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
kojakojakoja, just a couple of sentences - as you asked

3. Alternate file and registry manager is included in my roms

4. Link to the Office - in the first post

9. LED lamp as you call it - named Torch and is in my roms by default (Record hardware button)

Hopefully other guys will inform you about the other software you are interested in.... because first - I'm not a big fan of third party software. second - not all third-party soft is compatible with WM6.5, better to say: there is NO compatible software available because WM6.5 is not officially released yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
first - use AndrewSh's 21014. or 23017, only good builds. imo. Just DO NOT try newer than 23017, you will lose any respect for microsoft.

1. opera - mini, you know where to find it, i suppose..get java, first to use it. as secondary browser i can recommend newest skyfire.

3. tc is made by ghisler - now you know everything you need to find it. it is almost perfect thing.

4. 21014 if i remember right, or find cab for 6.1 on xdadev.

5. adobereader LE(find version with REFLOW function in menu) for pfd's(i strongly recommend to stay awat from pdfs on qvga screen if possible).

i STRONGLY recommend alreader for ebook reader(txt rtf doc, html), program is perfect.

http://i30.tinypic.com/zmnpt0.jpg

i can make cab for you, program is BRILLIANT, yet unknown here.

for editor try to check made(from freewareppc.com i.e.).

6. total commander, i suppose..

7. cannot recommend anything(heavy), but check today agenda in first place for tasks, and appointments.

http://i26.tinypic.com/2jfa9hw.jpg

here it is:

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-todayagenda.html

8. no go - you may try coolcamera, BUT there are some issues with it.

stick to default software, it is ok with fantastic macro(BUT DO NOT use macro function to it, just autofocus).

9. you have torch in every asus rom for it - works perfect, led is STRONG here.

3 sites if you want to check c.a. 60000 programs for free:

freewareppc.com

pocketpcfreeware.com

freewarepocketpc.net

btw, asus p525 beats 2/3 of expensive phones advertised on xdadev, you chose good device.

imo.

ahh, last advice: NEVER, EVER use SPB soft.

it is CRAP.

remember- NEVER, EVER use SPB soft!

Titanium plugin is fixed by MS so it's again included

Update core and sys

WM 6.5 CE.OS 23041 Build 23041 AKU 5.3.00

http://rapidshare.com/files/274674515/ROMGalaxy_23041.7z

LZX, PP 4 Mb, 520 MHz.

The only MS bug left (or better to say - detected) is Alarms menu. The rest is OK. Full IE, widgets, and so on. The rest - as usually.

Fix for menu Alerts for 23041
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
I suppose you got second-hand 525. That means - someone was trying to dismount and clean it. If someone has not enough skills or does not know how to dismount the unit - for 99% he will break the ribbon cable of the led. Even me did it once - although I know how to do that. Somewhere in web is the manual with pictures how to properly dismount 525 - look through and try to fix the ribbon cable - I managed to do that easily with the soldering iron.

About which build to install - make your own decision - nothin simply hates MS :). Actually I agree with him in many questions but I would prefer the latest build. It works very well.

About Titanium plugin and how to deal with custom plugins - it's a separate big topic and I am not going to start that discussion right here. Browse through xda - several topics about Titanium customizing are available - read them carefully.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
..erm, AndrewSh, i loveD m$.

Before HTC bought whole thing and WM idea is GONE.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] framir:
Do you know if the latest rom can work with a Asus P552W? :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kojakojakoja:
AndrewSh, you are right - I bought it second-hand.

I will follow your advice and find manual to properly dismount P525. I'll let you know through this website about the further developments. :-)

Also, if you find that manual yourself (somewhere lying dusty in your PC), plese upload it and give us link.

..

Now about latest build... As usual, if I install it - I will have to reinstall ALL applications? ...Or Sync can reinstall them for me?

..

I could swear my P525 was 416 or 420 MHz when I bought it.

Yes, it says so in ASUS manual:

So how comes now it says, in Settings/System/About that it is A270 520 MHz processor?

..

...Btw., I tried XGuru. Does it really do the job of THAT MUCH overclocking?

...And: if I put CPU to Power Save mode, does it really go to Power Save? Because, when I click to XGuru after setting CPU to Power Save (in Settings/System/CPU), XGuru reads different data (i.e. it reads its last input data, which, for example, might be 442 MHz). It that OK, is it normal to have 520 MHz while in Power Save mode?

(What is actually Power Save anyway?)

Thanks ... again. :-)

Kinda miraсle, isn't it? :) Maybe the device is broken.... :) Or maybe I simply over-clocked it a bit while porting XIP :)

This cab fixes menu Alerts in 23041. Menu is almost normal after install and reboot.

Special thnx to SergeyLAR from asusmobile.ru for finding the reason of a bug and for patching resources.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kojakojakoja:
AndrewSH, could you at least give me a definition of Titanium, please? Like: what it is, at least. Is it a program, something that makes OS loooks different, like a skin with additional features, or what? There are topics about plugins FOR Titanium, but I have no clue what Titanium is.

I have found this, so I'm starting to have a clue: [APR 29][WM6.5] WM 7 Titanium Project - beta6.9

But why is this skin/Titanium that we have now (in AndrewSh ROM 23017) soooo ugly?

I mean, ok, we should not be discussing beauty, but... this one seem not to follow the elegance of your WM 6.5.

I tried a couple od days ago SPB something (let's say Phone Suite 3.0 or something 3.0) and it looked perfect!!! Is there similar Titanium that looks and feels good?

Thanks.

Koja
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Listen, kojakojakoja, I'm a very bad teacher. Just open your phone settings\today\items. Titanium is one of them. It's just different user interface. If it's ugly for you - switch it off by removing hook in dedicated window and write the complain to MS.

I am not interested to discuss good and bad features of Titanium. It's a MS decision to use that interface - not one of mine. So it's a part of new OS and that's it.

I can understand that you found many new things for yourself trying betas from that topic. But I am not able to answer all your questions - I just provide new build porting to our ancient device to bring the second life to it. You know - first WM6.5 betas appeared in January - for that moment your questions would sound well-timed. But not now. So - just read around. Not only this topic - actually there's nothing to read here in my thread (almost)... Sorry....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kojakojakoja:
AndrewSh, you actually helped me. :-) Thanks for that. Now I know that Titanium is GUI made or delivered by Microsoft, so I can sleep peacefully if I turn Titanium off. I was afraid it might be something important. You cleared it out for me, so thanks once again. :-)

The topic I linked was just one of the topics that partially gave explanation about Titanium. Well, it was left for us to guess that it might be a skin, GUI, or something more. Now I know and am pleased. :-)

..

Now 2 questions for you, if you don'r mind:

1. What is the difference between ROM 23017 and ROM 23041?

2. Is there a way to UPGRADE ROM 23017 to ROM 23041, i.e. not to flush all installed programs?

2.a. Is there a way to only copy/paste some of the files directly to P525, in order to achieve upgrade?

2.b. If the answer to 2.1. is negative, then will synchronizing BEFORE and AFTER instalation of new ROM do the job?

2.c. ...Or user simply has to install everything from scratch?

Thanks.

Over and out. :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eabrillos:
What makes our Asus P525 a TOP OF THE LINE/HIGH END PDA/PHONE, it's because of AndrewSH, he always find ways to make its upgraded ROM the latest. Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
kojakojakoja

1. Between 23017 and 23041 was 5 releases of COM3 and 3 releases of COM4. It means - I made at least 8 different versions of rom. How can I remember what was in 23017? Interface's been changed - the bottom bar became higher and Start button is now at the left bottom (like on PC). If I start to describe all the fixes in all ddls that I know - should it be interesting for you?

2. No. Some guys use so called backup programs but I never used that things so I do not recommend to use backup anyway.

2a. Sure not.

2b. What do yo expect from synchronizing? Start ActiveSync and see what is possible to sync. Due to synchronizing you can only save your contacts, calendar events, tasks and other Outlook and Media ****. But not any programs or so.

2c. I do that. Some programs, if installed to SD card - do not need any reinstall (for example Adobe Reader works nice from Card once installed there). But you should check these programs by yourself - I don't know all the programs that do not need reinstall.

Sir AndrewSH,

Help, uhuhuhuhuhuh........ ZTA4 (3rd Party INPUT) won't work again, please help......
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kojakojakoja:
I installed some SPB programs and now one of them is being used for SMS/MMS. Unfortunately that one has no option "copy all messages from SIM card to phone memory or to Storage Card". But I remember this option was present in a program that opened my SMS when I installed AndrewSh ROM 23017.

Can someone tell me how to start the original program and what was its name, please?

AndrewSh?

...Or simply how to copy messages from SIM card and not just move them (thus losing information about date and time of original message)?

Thanks in advance.

Koja
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kojakojakoja:
Change from ROM 23017 to ROM 23041

OK, but for us who don't know about COM3 and COM4: is that something very important, or should I feel comfortable with previous STABLE version, named 23017?

Yes, but how do I make them alive? I.e. newly installed OS will not know those programs exist/reside in SD card; I need to "tell" him about previously installed programs. How do I do that?

...Then I need shortcuts, which I guess is just a matter of copying Start Menu folder (or whatever the name is). OK, that's simple. But previous step is an unknown field to me.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
I found a bug in the newest rom: when you leave the today screen by clicking on the start menu button or by opening another program and then you try to click on the topbar with icons like connection, battery...etc... the TitleBarScreen doesn't come out.

Besides alarm menues are still a big mess....Andrew and yes it is NOT your fault...so don't even start here :).....but I am wondering if the cab which fixes menu Alerts in 23041 will apply here???? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
It's not a bug - it's a feature. The same is in the newest 23045. Why should TitleBar appear in StartMenu? All the features are available via StartMenu shortcuts so dubbing the function is useless. That's why MS left TitleBar access only from homescreen. BTW the Titanium fonts are finally completely fixed in that build.

Shellresapps.dll.0409.mui is different so applying the cab you can miss something else. But you can try - I am lazy to work with that resource again.

About "start here" - I told you already - just don't worry 'bout me - I'm not interested to play juvenile games - better watch yourself.

To all

New COM3 23045 (newer than 23409) was ready yesterday. Hopefully I will upload it during the day.....
