PLEASE continue to develop this ROM!!

The Sorg roms were a great start to unlock VGA but the amount of free memory was useless. I will be trying this rom tonight, if this doesnt work I am going back to QVGA. VGA resolution is nice but useless with no memory to run any applications!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ec95:
this rom is great exept the high securety settings, even though that might be on Microsofts part, dunno.

Pls continue to work on this ROM
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
I have been using this for a few days now and this is easily the BEST VGA rom available for the Asus P750 phone! The additional memory available compared to the Sorg rom makes the phone much faster and more responsive. Great work.

I have a few bugs/suggestions, below, if you are planning on doing another version (I sure hope so).

Major

- Camera auto focus does not work

- HTC Task Manager "X" button mode (same as Asus Auto Cleaner) does not work

- Wireless settings screens need to be adjusted for VGA mode

- Video phone settings screen needs to be adjusted for VGA mode

- HTC Task Manager Auto Kill threshold is too high (9MB) - this causes applications to randomly end when you hover around 9MB free RAM - which is where my phone sits when running CorePlayer & Opera - so I cant use them both! I have removed HTC Task Manager (disabled the service) to try to prevent this from happening. Raising the threshold as per http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2353593&postcount=228 didn't appear to work.

EDIT: disabling HTC Task Manager from startup services did not fix this. As soon as the phone gets to 9MB free ram it starts auto killing apps. This did not happen with the Sorg rom. It makes browsing while listening to music impossible :(

Minor

- Right click / context menu font is incorrect

- Change CoolCamera key setting to "digit 3" to get the camera button to take a photo

- Include GPS updater by default (instead of seperate CAB)

Hey guys,

Sorry you didn't hear me for a while. I've been quite busy with my new job, and I'm lacking spare time to look into this again any sooner.

However things look good since there is some progress by the Russian on a 21042 build so I'm compiling now. Also I'm getting in touch with them for the English VGA wifi manager etc.

Cheers,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] InfectedM:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jerome!:
I haven't followed the progress about WM6.5. Is it stable enough for daily usage yet?

Otherwise I'm not spending my time on it, sorry.

Ps. contact with Thailand has been made. Will receive VGA wifi manager and autofocus patches soon
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
woohoo! :)

stable WM 6.1 is much better than flakey 6.5. Have you had a chance to look into the memory thresholds for autokill? this is my biggest gripe with this ROM at the moment.

Thanks for your great work :)

New Beta4

Time for a new ROM this one contains:

WWE VGA P750 ROM Windows Mobile 6.1 Build 21042

- New HTC Phone Canvas

- GPS Catcher included in ROM

- Camera Autofocus fixed

- settings -> connections -> connections -> gsm/3g networks now VGA

- settings -> connections -> connections -> wifi manager (all tabs) now VGA

- settings -> mode switcher -> items tab now VGA

- Voice commander

- CF 3.5

- Opera Mobile

Still no video call I'm sorry. Also not able to fix the memory threshold. Can anybody point me if there is a setting or so?

The today screen size is set to normal +1 for some reason in the kitchen. By settings -> system -> screen -> text size you can revert to normal.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
OK... I did some serious googling. I found this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa924972.aspx

WOOHOO!!! A fix!

Change HKLM\System\OOM\cbLow to 0x00020000

Change HKLM\System\OOM\cbVLow to 0x00010000

This changes WM_HIBERNATE threshold to 1024KB and critical WM_TERMINATE threshold to 512KB (units are in 8192b pages).

This lets you use every last byte of RAM without apps disappearing all the time!

Jason
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
Thanks for this tip! Trying it out now. Hopefully it will give more room for other apps to run simultaneously.

For those who want to try this, backup the registry key first before modifying.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
Any way to fix this Russian SIP & Camera in beta 4? Also the hardware camera button doesnt work, and the 3G & battery icons are different??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
CoolCamera CAB

Hi Jerome! Can you create a CAB file for the CoolCamera you use in your ROM using the english language file? :rolleyes:

I'm trying to use CoolCamera in my VGA ROM but only got "gray and black" bars in the display. Any idea how to fix this? :confused:

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
Hi galapogos01, paste this file in your windows folder (where coolcamera is installed)

It should work. It will just replace the ROM file virtually so that english language is used instead of the russian one. The old file is still there.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
You're a legend jembot!! I also found Camera shows on long press (not short like stock). I can live with that... if we can fix the SIP Keyboard.

Any idea how to change SIP Keyboard language? Been doing research, havent worked it out yet.

Also beta4 is missing ie. opera 9.5 is too much of a memory hog to use in a 64mb phone :( but i just found some settings to tweak here too, ram cache size in \windows\opera.ini! default is 7MB+3MB, trying 4MB+1MB.. also the old opera version doesnt import mobile favourites from activesync, the latest one from opera.com does.

Jason
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
Hi galapogos01, i don't use Opera Mobile because it's too bulky. I use Internet Explorer Mobile 6 instead. Great browser! Very much like browsing on desktop. Has adobe flash support. Lighter than Opera or Iris Browser. You should try it. :rolleyes:

About the russian keyboard, i'm just about to try a solution. Will post if the solution is a success. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
But there is no ie6 mobile in this rom? Do you have a cab for it? Itching to see if your SIP fix worked!

EDIT: I found iexplore.exe, just didnt find a shortcut. Easy to fix. Why does ie have a mouse cursor though?? (same as beta3)

I've been using the beta4 rom for almost 24 hours now... Free ram is a lot less than beta3, even if i remove asusstatus and the other junk from startup I only get 12MB free. nowhere near enough :( beta3 was much better.

Jerome, obviously the beta3 and beta4 come from different kitchens? maybe the page pool is larger?

can you do a revision of the old kitchen with fixed camera and english sip & icons?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
VGA ROM

The ASUS P750 WM6.1 VGA ROM i'm using has a startup free memory of approximately 25-26MB. I set the page pool to 4MB.

The IEM6 cursor you're seeing is optional since on VGA, the display and the URLs are so small, it's helpful when clicking on such links or if you just don't want to use the touchsreen. When you're using the touchscreen, the cursor will automatically hide.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
22MB - that's around what Beta3 had.

Would you share your rom?

Just need to extract camera.exe and coolcamera.exe from a sorg rom to get autofocus working... a nice VGA rom is so close!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jerome!:
Hmm, you're right about the difference in kitchens. Think I released too early. I guess I compile the Beta3 rom again with the new VGA packages for Wifi Manager etc.

Please mind this is a learning proces since this is all new to me, few months ago I didn't knew how to make a ROM in the first place :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
Hey, no complaints! These really are the best roms for p750 i've seen so far! :)

If you can do a rom with the older kitchen with new packages & most importantly fix the camera autofocus that would be great.

Jason
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
I got impatient and downloaded the VGA WWE kitchen. I've been having a play tonight. Can anyone tell me before I cook:

- If the SIP Keyboard is english?

- If it has the autofocus fix?

I tried to make a package out of an opera cab (Opera 9.50_15613_WWE_DEVICE_VGA.cab.cab) using PackagesCreator2 and when I build with it included I get an error from buildos about building the registry hives :( Also, i cant edit any registry files or i get the same thing (Just opening and saving the file breaks it, something to do with timestamps or codepage perhaps?)

Also, when i burnt a rom without modifying anything, phone wouldnt connect to network?

Will try again tomorrow... unless Jerome posts a rom in the meantime!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
VGA ROM

Hi galapogos01,

I'm also using the same WM6.1 VGA ROM kitchen..selected 4MB PagePool. I just selected minimal features, saving plenty of space and RAM. Everything works okay.

What exactly is wrong in the your network connections? I don't have such problems and been connecting to my WLAN and to my carrier 3G/HSDPA with no problems at all (ofcourse, given you have the correct settings).

You can use the AtekSoft CoolCamera camera replacement provided by the kitchen and just use the language file i sent you or you could replace the original russian one in the dump file before building the ROM. Whichever you prefer.

My WM6.1 VGA ROM works A LOT better than my previous WM6.1 QVGA ROM. It also has more free startup memory, ~26MB.

Just some tips...

- Avoid leaving running applications in the background if possible. Use Quickmenu + WKTask to manage closing of apps when clicking "X", "ok" or pressing "hardware OK button". You can use exceptions if you don't want a particular app to close otherwise.

- To "efficiently" reclaim wasted RAM without system overhead, install AutoHibernate and ASyncKiller. Hibernation is the best RAM recovery method, AutoHibernate automates this in the background for you. ASyncKiller, on the other hand, automatically closes ActiveSync if it is not used or idle. Details and download links here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=386948

- Avoid using heavy and cluttered today plugin. I use HomeScreen++ UI as my today plugin..Using personally modified BSHome skin. Details and download link here http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm

- For the keyboard, i use Finger Keyboard 2. Details and download link here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3581042. Impressive freeware keyboard. You should try it.

- To set a particular keyboard to be the default (i.e. Finger Keyboard 2), use SKTools, navigate to "Input Methods" and make the preferred keyboard the "Default" keyboard.

- To always use the "ABC" (2nd item) in XT9 (when using hardware keyboard for input), use the cab file i attached. If you do not use this cab, you'll notice that when you go to, for example.."New SMS", try to input text and you'll notice that the "XT9-English" will always be the default when typing using the hardware keyboard.

*** XT9 is always active even if you use a different SIP (Soft Input Panel). This is especially useful when you want to use the hardware keyboard AND your preferred SIP "at the same time" or alternately with no fiddling/changing of the input method. ***

What else did i forget? UI customization, yesss!...I can't live without a little customization!..LOL.. I changed my taskbar icons to 3D colorful ones. I use the other file i attached. Screenshot is already included in the ZIP file, look at the taskbar. :)

That's quite a lot i put in there. I hope i helped you on your quest for the best VGA ROM. :)

Cheers!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
Thanks :) I will have a good read tonight.

I've been using wkTask for ages, it works great. That alone didnt save the beta3 rom, because even when there was loads of free RAM, apps would die because of the WM OOM thresholds. I had no additional apps on the today screen.

With my cooked rom, it showed "No Network" all the time and wouldnt connect to my carrier. I cooked using the "Network Setting (all operators)" package, hoping it would auto-add my 3g settings (AUS). Maybe this package is broken? Also, it wouldnt start any applications, not even MS ones. Something was totally stuffed. I cooked on Vista, maybe that's why? I can paste screenshots of all packages I chose. I wanted to customise a few reg files (Locale, some other settings) but every time I tried it wouldnt cook, so I just went with the defaults.

I have gone back to beta3 for now. Fixed OOM but no autofocus though :( I tried copying the camera.exe from a working ROM but it wouldnt let me.

Jason
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
That's odd..Maybe it's because of your OS, Vista. I use WinXP SP2.

But your radio works right? You can send sms? Make/receive calls?

With regards to my network setting, mine had just one wrong (outdated) setting for data connection and just had to reconfigure it the first time..Then i can connect all the time. Compare and take note of your current network setting with the one's using your cooked ROM.

If apps won't start, there's definitely something wrong with your cooked ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galapogos01:
No GSM radio at all with my home cooked ROM. :(

When I use the russian roms I always have to enter 3G / MMS settings, its kind of annoying but not a big problem. I hoped adding the all operators package would fix it. I ran out of time to test more, I have to use the phone for work too!

Hopefully I can cook a working one tonight. My cooked one had ~26MB free, which is awesome, but if you cant run apps, whats the point! :) All thats really bugging me now in beta3 is the camera autofocus.

Jason
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jembot:
Hi galapogos,

Maybe i'll send you a lightweight cooked VGA rom to try out? It should work with your device as it always does with mine.

I'm not really that good in it. I just take the SYS section from Calkulins Diamond ROMS on ppcgeeks (just Google for it).

Then I took the XIP from the Chinese\Pdamobiz <insert any rom> rom and created the ROM.tpl with the NB0kitchen. You can unpack and create the XIP section with it too its not just meant for compiling ;)

That's the process in a nutshell. I'm sure there are ways to do it manually but thats a thing I have to learn too.
