Cyberon Voice Speed Dial is ported and is rom embedded.

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 PIMBuckup) found in VistaLibFRE19212MVP1_00 directory.

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

Select SDConfigFRE19212MVP1_00.txt and rename it to SDConfig.txt .

Place the VistaLibFRE19212MVP1_00 directory and SDConfig.txt a la Carte de stockage and Power off.

Place Mio_A701_WWE_WM6.1_CEOS_5.2.19212_Build_19212.1.0.3_Mobile_Vista_1.00_Premium_by_ansar.bin

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 or Portable PC with XP as maximum.

c. Run ScoterRomUpdate-R01.exe on PC or Portable 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).

Important note: Do not flash in UT51 or you may get into flashing errors.

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 premiumVista.tsk theme.

The User Customization process initiates as follows:

a. Loads all cabs from internal rom and VistaLibFRE19212MVP1_00.

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.

e. Again Is one of the best roms ever made and during testing i never made a reset.

Note 1: The 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.

Pressing once you get Start Menu and pressing again Start Menu is hidden.

Note 3: The navigation key is assigned to TomTom Navigator application.

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

Note 5: As you already noticed the Premium.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: The bottom screen plug-in has five small buttons where from left to right you can have:

- 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.

Note 9: Today screen includes Tomtom Navigator that runs without problem from there.

Note10: S2U2 is running automatically i made it bug free.

D. Rom Structure

The Rom Structure is close to WWE and for its details see next post.

E. Important Notes

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.

Once again i comment that if you flash under UT51 you may have flashing problems.

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.

Till next version enjoy!!!

Regards, ansar
