[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Sounds like a dodgy battery. Try flashing a different ROM (23071 / 23081). The ROM should never cause the phone to switch off.

To everyone else: There should be a new COM5 build coming soon. As soon as it hits, I'll have a new ROM out. You'll have plenty of time until 23071 expires :) 23081 has the expiry message, but won't expire. 23071 will pop up a message and will expire eventually.

I missed out on patching the shell32 for 23071, but this won't happen on future builds.

On a side note, it may be time for somebody else to take up cooking duties as I'll be switching to the Leo as soon as I have the $$$ ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yolinkin:
yeah meeee 2 ... i got the stash it`s just the waiting that kills me. :P another 17-18 days. god it`s brilliant. but somehow i always wanted the full qwerty keyboard & know i just cant decide between Rhodium & Leo. at the end of the day one of `em will make a great B-Day present for meself :P

Blade... hat`s off in front of you! you did great things over here!:cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WHGibbo:
Sorry I wasn't very clear, I had installed the 23081. The phone didn't lose power, but gets disconnecting from the phone network :( in my case this is O2.

Will try an earlier rom and see if this works..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WHGibbo:
Tried 23071, got the same problem..

It appears that when the phone gets connected to the phone network, and the 'G' for GPRS symbol is displayed. It loses the phone network :(

Any ideas ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jasey9:
I have been using roms supplied here on my o2 zest, and have never had a problem, other than speed. Perhaps it is hardware related? I have rolled back to using 21869 as it is much faster, especially on the keyboard.

Have you tried forcing the phone to use either GSM or 3G? I generally have my phone locked onto the GSM network, as it saves a lot of battery power for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pully:
Using 23071 and since I have reinstalled (and deleted a load of crap I installed :$) it it has been stable and fast, I have not had a problem with phone disconnecting either quite the opposite in fact, it seems to hang on to a signal better than the original WM6.1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
WHGibbo: I may cook a ROM this weekend based off the O2 Zest official, which I have been meaning to do for a while. It will be quite heavy at first, but it may solve your issues

I use these fixes for the keyboard on 23071:

http://rapidshare.com/files/238340283/Anryl_touchfix.cab

http://www.4shared.com/file/67588528/cd1d6fba/RR_Keyboard_Speed_Increase.html

Along with the installed FingerKeyboard, should make typing a lot more bearable :)

I have to agree with Pully - my install of 23071 has been nothing but perfectly stable & extremely fast.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Has issues with 23081 too. Someone called me and the phone would ring then stop then ring a bit more. Most bizare.

Went back to 23071 and as with Blade0rz comments it is solid.

Sorry you're moving on to a new phone Blade0rz :( Looks like a nice phone though. Thanks for all your work so far.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WHGibbo:
Thanks.. Will wait for the new rom at the weekend..

Would be interested in learning how to cook the roms, so please email and maybe I can look at taking over for you..

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pully:
Blade0rz has posted links on the first post that will provide guidance.

And Blade0rz you've done a sterling job with bringing these ROM's to us :)

Looking forward to a replacement to 23071 that won't expire (not that I had a message yet) & is equally as good :)

Hi

Can we have 23071 Lite.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MatrixITE:

The other day i put 23081 onto my xda zest and it told me that it was going to run out as anyone else had this happen
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
PLEASE read the thread before posting questions that have already been posted and answered!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chwads2k8:
Hi guys..needed a little help

Totally off topic.

First thanks Blade u rule if it wernt for you us zest users would be lost.

Can someone giv me the gps settings for this phone. im near manchester if that helps.

Could i get the following settings

Program Port

Hardware Port

Baud Rate

I cant seem to get gps to work iv got copilot and TomTom neither work.

Closest i got i left program port on com 2 and hardware non but id only get 2-3 satt signals at a time and when id pik up another id loose one.

Please if someone could shged some light it would be a big help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
No probs :)

I suggest you use mGpsCmd to find which COM port your GPS runs & do some diagnostics. Remember to switch off/on your device when finished using mGpsCmd! Otherwise it blocks the COM port.

a_t_u_l : I will try release a 23071 Lite along with the COM5 Zest ROM this weekend (which will also hopefully have lite/loaded versions)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
That would be cool :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PALMiK:
Many thanks for work

When to wait build 23085???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
New builds are on first page...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spiritbabe30:
hi, can any1 tell me hw can i set the ringtone without phone manager??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Thanks for the new builds, I will be flashing one of these as i've remained on 23060 since you built that. ;)

I have two questions though.

Does the "23088 from P565 (Loaded)" Rom includes these

(Zest ROM)

English XT9 Dictionary

O2 Connection Manager

O2 Network Settings

O2 SMS Customised Alerts

Timezone Setting UK

O2 USSD

O2 Emergency Call Setting

Or is it only the one built from the Zest update?

And number two:

Now that microsoft has made Da_G remove the new builds from his Latest Releases Thread, Where have you been getting the SYS/ XIP from?

I'm looking to finally start cooking and googling has been unfruitful.

Thanks again for all the great work. You have been very much keeping me from switching to another phone as all these new HTC models have been arriving. :D

(The HD2 is very tempting though;))
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WHGibbo:
thanks for update . solved my problem on the xda zest :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Just the Zest one has these files.

You can get new SYS/XIP combinations from that thread, people from other sites usually post links in there...You just gotta follow it :)

Great stuff :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomme45i:
Blade0rz thank you for your work and new roms!

I have used previously your loaded 23071 rom, now new 23088 seems to be as good as 23071.

I will let you know if I find any bugs.

BTW. You could replace some standard apps like Task Manager by THIS
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Thanks for the reply Blade0rz, looks like i've got some reading to do ;)

I think i'll go for the Zest one. Thanks again for the roms :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] patricktoh187:
Blade0rz,

That's for the great 23088 ROM. Finally the irratating expiry message is gone. Will report here if I encounter any problem.

Best regards,

patricktoh187
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Good job Blade0rz....thanks m8e.

Edit: 23088 doesn't ask about the inserted SIM as to whether it should be used for data traffic :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Same here, although it's not a problem on the Zest Rom as the o2 facility is installed.

These new builds are so much more responsive, i have yet to find a use for the magnifier yet though. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SniperJunkie:
Zest ROM

Please can you build a Loaded Zest ROM Build 23088!!! I would be ever so grateful!!! :):):)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Start > Settings > Connections > Network Setting

Just click "Auto Detect" then "Done". No idea why this doesn't autostart in this build...The Zest one auto started fine for me :confused:

I am hopefully going to release a "Zest Pack" this weekend with all the O2 Customisations. This will allow me to release one ROM, but allow users to install the Zest customisations if they wish.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pully:
Thanks Blade0rz

Giving the Zest based ROM a whirl, am I missing out on any funky stuff (other than the applications in the loaded ROM) by using the Zest based one?

The phone still seems to not like receiving MMS full size though :( - minor niggle apart from when being sent amorous texts ;)

Nice and fast so far though and plenty of space to install apps :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Yeah....23088 Lite is well sweet :D

Well, except for the missing :MSAUTODATACONFIG link :-/ I tried recreating it but windows doesn't recognise the target

23088 Xda Lite

I installed the Xda 23088 Rom Excellent work Blade0rz:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaPLeX:
Thank you, Blade0rz!!!

Very good job!

All OK in your 23088, but only free RAM memory.

Why it's so small amount? Why gwes.exe is having about 45-50 Mb heap size?

My friend is haing another PDA with WM6.5 but 23081 relise and his PDA is having about 70-80 Mb of free RAM (PDA has 128 Mb).

How can I increase free RAM memory?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pully:
gwes.exe only using 24mb ram (checked using Memmaid)

here using the Zest Lite Rom 23088
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaPLeX:
RAM in ROM

Yes. Memmaid is showing 24mb RAM on gwes.exe

But SKTools is showing 7.6mb RAM and 47 mb of heap size.

And in System->Settings->About we have only 89.84 Mb RAM memory.

My friend's PDA is showing about 110 Mb of memory in About page.

Why is so huge difference in memory in our ROMs?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Blade0rz: was adc.exe (AutoDataConfig) missing from this ROM or is it a build oops?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
There is no AutoDataConfig in the 23088 I downloaded :(

edit: On the RAM usage, the P565 does not have a native kernel (like a number of HTC devices), therefore I assume that WM6.5 cannot handle memory as efficiently. Please remember we are just hacking WM6.5 to work with our device...it was never meant to, so we have to make a Frankenstein of WM6.1 & WM6.5!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Thanks for the update.

I don't supose you know how grab the files from the windows folder? I tried but as they are part of the ROM they appear to be locked from being read!?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chwads2k8:
Xda Zest

thanks for update..

Can some of u xda zest users tell me how long it takes for you to get a fix on gps cause takes forever here. iv only got a fix once.

Is the zest gps totally crap or am i doin summat wrong?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Varies a little but normal is about 45 seconds in my experience. However I found 23088 got a GPS fix much quicker which is why I want to try and get a build with ADC or copy ADC from 23071.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I'll cook 23506 this weekend with ADC included. Possibly another 23088 if I have time.

Why not just use the Asus Network Setting utility for now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
yummy @ the cooking :)

Is the Asus Network Setting the thing that pops up asking whether I'm PAYG or monthly subscription? Always assumed that would set something for o2, as I use Orange & 3 I just click on cancel :D

My requirement for ADC is during the week I use a work provided Orange SIM that is for phone only....no data. At weekends I swap to my own 3 SIM with a data allowance. ADC popping up asking if the newly detected SIM should be used for data connections is a real God send.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Woohoo...found an ADC.cab :D

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rj0b:
great rom, first one i've ever used. however i have a problem in that my internet connection (via o2 doesn't work) any idea on what i need to do?

the 3g symbol comes on in the top bar but none of the internet applications work

(i'm using the zest version)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Run the O2 Network Settings from the start menu & pick your phone type (Contract/PAYG).

Also, I have been very busy this week & am away on hols this weekend, so i'm unlikely to be doing any cooking any time soon :( There are no major builds out now anyways
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rj0b:
sorry should have said before but i have tried that several times but it doesn't seem to do anything, i get a message saying '.....device needs to restart for some settings to take effect...' it restarts and nothing has changed. in the wireless manager i cannot turn on gprs, and using an internet app like ie, marketplace etc, any ideas?

zest rom, on 02 contract

if i use the o2 item at the very bottom of the menu i get a message from 2020 saying 'unfortunately we had problems dealing with your request........'
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rj0b:

Guys, I've been away the past few weeks on business, but I'll finally be back this weekend to start cooking again :D

I'll be releasing the new WM6.5.3 branch (whatever the latest build by then) and also a Zest "upgrade pack", which is basically a collection of cabs you can drop onto your storage card to be installed automatically when flashing any of my ROMs. This saves me having to upload two separate ROMs when the devices are identical...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikeycl:
yeah what he just said!!!

seriously have just seen it for myself and can't wait to get to grips with the cooked ROM
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] agitate:
Glad to see you back. I thought for a minute you had bought a new shiny device and left us all feeling needy.

Sounds like a stroke of genius to me. Keep up the excellent work! I'll drink a beer to your health, wealth and happiness, just as soon as I finish work (well maybe *after* I've been to the dentist :D ).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Buck_Rodgers:
Glad to see your still on the scene. Keep up the good work man! hopefully the new version will postpone me from just giving up with the zest and getting an iphone! lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sofene:
Did it work? Can you upload or post a link to download? Tia.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Yeah..works just fine. Install the cab then create a shortcut in windows/startup to windows/adc.exe
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Can someone tell me what "ADC" is please?

And does anyone else's inbox hang sometimes on exit, on build 23088?

Looking forward to the new build, i can't wait to try out the new native keyboard! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomme45i:
Auto Data Config - it automatically configure your internet settings.

If you mean sms inbox, I can only say I don't have problem you mentioned, but I have only about 200 text messages now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
It's the thing that pops up after you swapped SIM card saying "Oooh...a new SIM card! Shall we use it's data connection?" or something like that :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
New build is on first page.

Any O2 XDA Zest users, install the Zest Upgrade Pack to your SD card, then flash whichever P565 ROM you like :) Anybody already using UserCustomization will need to merge their SDConfig.txt with the one included in the RAR.

ADC is again included
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
\o/ thanks Blade0rz :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaPLeX:

These are in "Visual Kitchen" format, the tutorial will tell you what to do. You only need the 0419 folders (Russian files), not the 0409 ones :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaPLeX:
Thank you, Blade0rz!!! :) You are the best! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Thanks for the replies and the new build! :D

I think the sms inbox hanging may have been down to the fact that i have over 600 messages in there.

Since deleting them it hasn't crashed since. :D

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VorTechS:
Want to upgrade - but finding the cooking instructions hard to follow

Guys, I'd like to help make the cooking instructions easier for people new to this (like myself). To me, having tried to work through a couple of times now, I'm finding inconsistencies in the following documentation:

http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVSRtzFJxzzZZGN3cnAyN2dfMWczdm5ianRn&hl=en

I suspect it's probably because I've fallen at the first hurdle - and I'm tech. savvie!

I just spent an hour following the instructions, and then realised I was using incorrect files for extraction, and have now decided that I am stuck at the point of 'Getting the original firmware'.

There's a whole bunch of files on the specified FTP site, and no clear indication of what file is what. I could guestimate that WWE is World Wide English, but are there any specific rules as to which file should be downloaded? Or does it not matter?

I'd actually gotten as far as completing the first stage (with the wrong firmware). As part of building the packages I was prompted with a question not covered by the documentation - and conveniently I've forgotten what it was... something about running an 'Import XIP .bat' file? If (when running the process on the correct firmware file) this comes up again... what should the answer be...?

Sorry for being a n00b, but as there's a lot to do I want to make sure I get it 100% right....!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I just gave the Asus FTP for reference. You can get a user-friendly list of the firmware available at Google, or the Asus site:

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

From then on, the steps should be pretty straightforward.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] a_t_u_l:
is it possible to have HD2 Rom on the Zest, just saw a video of it running on Omnia 2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ZCfcIqeIM
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
The Leo ROM is just a version of WM6.5 COM2 branch (21869) with the Sense UI installed. We don't have OpenGL so we can't use Sense UI.

What kind of benchmark? 3D, CPU, Read/Write? You can download SPB Benchmark to do that yourself:

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/benchmark
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] a_t_u_l:
Thanks for your reply.

Yeah benchmark for performance report, just to know these new roms are faster or equal to earlier roms. I just dont like 6.5 interface and feel it will slow down the phone (just hallucination).

Memory problems

Great job! I decided to try your firmware on my P565.

Has anyone memory problems with this firmware? After I install the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.1 I had only 2.8 MB free memory! I don't think this is enough to iGO (for example).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pully:
With the latest ROM I do have less program memory availble, under 12MB.

Running:

S2U2

Pocketbreeze

Iconsoft PhonEx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oramclaren:
I don't think 12 MB is enough. Sometime the iGO crash with "out of memory" error when has more than 20 MB free memory!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I have 40Mb of free memory with no programs loaded. Running Internet Explorer, Nitrogen, Facebook & Opera all at the same time uses an extra 12Mb.

40Mb should be enough for you to do anything you want with your phone. SPB obviously is resource intensive (as is Manila, etc.) but it should NOT be using 38Mb. And if it is, I suggest you take it up with SPB ;)

I won't be releasing any more ROMs as my Leo has arrived today, so if someone wants to take a look at the memory issues, feel free.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
