Mio Arabizer A701 WWE WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20755 B 20755.1.0.0 Mobile Vista 3.00 by ansar

Dear forum members,

Updated on 28-10-2008 10:30 PM for backup procedure, see bellow

This is the new Mio Arabizer A701 WWE WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20755 Build 20755.1.0.0 Mobile Vista 3.00 Lite Rom.

The CE image is based on the Official WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20755 ( Build 20755.1.0.0 ) .

It is created due to requests for an Arabizer rom.

< Start Menu > function is provided world wide first (wwf) in A701 to the bottom left hardware key ( under phone key ) directly from rom.

< Suspend > function is provided to the bottom right hardware key ( under power key ).

Another wwf is the A701 icon when you synchronize in Windows Vista as well as the folder A701 of synchronization.

Finally the phone dealer has been redesigned in the cool blue colors of this Mobile Vista Lite edition.

The versions of the applications included inside the rom are as follows:

1.	Data Backup	: 3.10 (Build 21366) of High Tech Computer Corp.

2.	Windows Live	: 10.6.0039.130

3.	Windows Media Player	: 10.3 Build 20755

4.	Office Mobile	: 6.1

5.	Task manager	: 2.9

6.	Total Commander	: 2.5

7.	WiFi scanner	: 1.5

Update of backup procedure:

Before flashing make a backup of your files in Storage Card using the Data Backup Program from my previous roms or your favorite backup.

In case you do not have a backup application install the Backup.cab (is PIMBackup) found in VistaLibARA20755Lite directory.

After PIMBackup installation perform your data backup in your Storage card.

Warning: If you have downloaded before this chronocode [28-10-2008 10:30 PM] and you have backup problems then re-download.

End of Update

From paragraph 2. above there are four variations of the Lite Mobile Vista 3.00

Place the VistaLibARA20755Lite directory and SDConfig.txt in the Storage Card and Power off.

Place CE image file in a directory of your desktop or Portable PC and proceed as follows:

a. Set your Mio A701 in boot loader mode by holding down Volume Up + Navi down + reset buttons and

After 4 seconds (for me is ok in 0) release Volume Up + Navi down first and then release the reset button.

In the ScoterUT Rxx Magneto screen menu select FlashROM Upgrade and press Navi center button.

In the next FlashROM Upgrade screen menu select the CE img by USB option.

b. Connect your Mio A701 to your desktop or portable PC with Activesync 4.5 setting: Allow USB connections not checked.

Note: It is difficult to flash in a Vista OS on desktop or Portable PC.

I recommend a desktop with XP as maximum.

c. Run ScoterRomUpdate-R01.exe on PC and follow the instructions.

d. After the successful flashing select in Mio A701 exit and Enter deep sleep or Watchdog reset (in UT 55).

e. Unplug the USB wire and perform a hard reset by holding down Volume down + power on buttons. (Not required in UT55)

The Rom loading process will perform as follows:

a. Loads all splash screens, performs the welcome screen, displays the initial Today screen and

b. Then loads Mobile_vista.tsk theme.

The User Customization process initiates as follows:

a. Loads all cabs from internal rom and VistaLibWWE20755Lite.

Note: the majority of cabs are modified by me in order to go to the desired destination.

b. Loads the *.xml files and performs the instructions included in these files.

c. The process will finish after machine's final Reset and final boot.

Note 1: The new keyboard layout has options for small and big letters.

It is predefined to initial setup in small letters. In case of big, the CAPs are displayed with double tap on shift key.

Note 2: The key of media player is assigned to Start Menu for better performance.

Note 3: The navigation key is assigned to Suspend for better power saving.

Note 4: RegEdit (the one part of task manager) and Total Commander is assigned in the screen bottom left and right locations.

Note 5: As you already noticed the Mobile_Vista.tsk theme is redesigned as cool blue.

Note 6: Internet explorer has two new home screens.

The first has help, IE Home, Mio Home and Xda Developers.

If you tap on IE Home the well known IE screen is seen.

When you tap on menu>tools>options you can set the current, IE home as home page.

You can always go back to the first page from menu>tools>options and setting use default.

Note 7: In SDConfig.txt is included the new Comm Manager.

Note 8: The bottom screen plug-in has six small buttons where from left to right you can have:

- The green for on off the phone

- The GPS ephemeris activation

- The memory

- The Bluetooth

- The Icon only for battery charge view. For the settings there is the top bar battery button.

- The screen rotation button.

- In case of XCPUScalar enabling, you have three more as XCPU, Suspend and Reset.

D. Rom Structure

For the rom structure see the next post

E. Important Notes

The Prayer Times is trail edition and you must get your registeration key.

I see in posts that some users are facing problems with MS Vista synch.

Now in MS Vista will see Mio A701 as a folder when synch.

I use Vista for all rom projects, but Windows Mobile Device Center must be of version 6.1.6965 .

I moved my A701 in official R65 and UT55 and i had no problems with flashing.

So do not change from your R65 if there is no good reason for this.

You may have serious problems, even to brick your device, when downgrading to R48.

In theory then is no difference with practice but in practice there is.

I will release a Mobile Home and a Mobile Premium Vista edition based on the tested 20755 OS.

These WWE versions i.e. Lite, Home and Premium will be the basis for other languages to build.

Till next version enjoy!!!

Regards, ansar
