Dear forum members,

From my beloved islands on vacations, i found some time to finalize this version and i wish you all a happy summer time.

This is a new Rom for Mio A701: WWE-WM6.5-CE-OS-5.2.21500-Build-21500.5.0.0, compressed in LZX algorithm, Mobile Vista 5.00 SeaDragon, M2D, D3D, YouTube.

Two cabs are only required to be installed, namely SeaDragonFiles and Streaming Media, in order to play YouTube video.

SeaDragonFiles include many applications that now are installed in rom, as Flash Player, IA-Zip, Java, etc.

The XIP (eXecutable In Place) is further developed to allow WM6.5 and LZX compression.

The CE image is based on an Official WM6.5 CE OS 5.2.21500 ( Build 21500.5.0.0 ).

This SeaDragon 5.00 Version is different than previous rom build, so let's see the details:

1. Memory Management.

.. New memory and storage memory modules have been introduced that speed up all relevant operations and

.... increase the overall device performance.

.. These modules are to support both xip and sys parts of the rom and relevant registry settings are improved.

.. The registry parts i.e. default and user, are completely redesigned and expanded.

2. Power Management.

.. New Power management service has been implemented

.. Backlight.cpl and Power.cpl modules are totally fixed.

.. The backlight.cpl accepts 10sec, 30sec, 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min and 5min on battery power.

.. The backlight.exe and power.exe are also shown in System Settings.

.. All icons of AllInOne are working and one more are included in the icon tray.

.. The so long inactive green battery icon is now working and displays the backlight.cpl module.

... From that icon we change screen's brightness immediately but do not change the backlight timeout.

.. The icon battery in the Task Bar top right is left inactive and shows remaining battery power.

3. The Phone

.. Phone is fixed with the implementation of callserv.dll, tkitloader.dll 's and a small in code fix but lot of time to create it.

.. Now in Start you will see your providers menu link, for instance Vodafone Menu (*.lnk)

.. During first rom release it is reported that the fix works in all countries around the world.

.. The Speaker function is reworked and fixed.

.. In phone settings we see many new tabs at the bottom of the screen that allows many new functions.

.. In the last tab you can set automatic call receiving i.e. after 1, 2 or .. rings that is good when driving and bluetooth is enabled.

4. Calls Over Bluetooth.

.. When receiving a call we can activate the phone and voice with one (1) click on the bluetooth device multi task button.

.. After finishing our conversation, we can deactivate the phone again with one (1) click on multi task button.

.. This is valid with the first call only during a bluetooth session.

.. In the second and next calls it is a little tricky and undocumented. Please think of your safety first when driving a car.

.. With one click first we activate the phone receiving and next with a double (quick) click on multi task button we activate voice receiving.

.. Remember that after finishing our conversation, we apply a double click to deactivate voice and then a single click to deactivate the phone.

.. As previously said is safer when driving to enable automatic phone activation after desired number or rings and use a single clicks.

5. Audio Management.

.. All audio functions have been reworked and now you can play:

.. .aac, .3gp, .3g2, .3gpp, .m4a, .m4v, .mp3, .mp4, .wmv, .amr, .rmi, .rv, .ra .rm and .rma audio and video in windows media player.

.. Files with .rm , .rma, .rv and .ra requires Q8real.cab to be installed.

.. I am working for further development in order to include .avi and some more codecs.

.. If streaming media cab is installed, in order to play youtube video, then 3gp video is not shown correctly.

.. Just unistall streaming media if you really need to see a .3gp video file correctly.

.. The provided Audio Manager includes an audio booster and is required for A2DP stereo listening.

6. Bluetooth wireless stereo.

.. Wireless Stereo has been reworked and the provided a2dp is almost lag/skip free.

.. It is required to cradle the device in mains power and set it from e-Utility to Super Performance or for no lag/skip with XCPUScalar to 624 MHZ.

.. It was tested with BB-02 wireless stereo head phone with very good results.

.. A2DP Toggle -1.1 of Teksoftco is provided in a cab with very good performance.

.. When driving please follow the rules and stop at the emergency lane when making or receiving a call.

7. Obex over Bluetooth.

.. Obex File Transport is supported and you can send/receive files with btcrawler, total commander and fexplorer easily.

8. Bluetooth over Activesync.

.. You can connect your device wireless and have control of all your windows and SD card files.

.. There is no need to enable advanced network functionality from Start\Settings\Connections\USB to PC.

.. There is a small procedure in Hacking and Development of how to, if you face a problem.

.. There is no need to activesync our device with a USB cable connection and then over bluetooth.

9. WiFi/Wlan Management.

.. New functions and drivers are provided in order to speed up your file transfer operations.

.. I did not test them myself due to a new card delivery delays.

a. Connection through USB cable.

.. USB connectivity is reworked and connection through USB cable is of direct performance, no need to enter advanced USB connectivity.

b. D3D drivers.

.. D3D drivers are tested and working as you can test it from Start\Programs\Apps with D3Ddemo, Lights3D and Text3D.

c. User Interfaces.

.. You can have the windows mobile 6.5 (simple or default), Htc Home, Htc Home Diamond and Manila 2D Sea Dragon interfaces.

.. In the provided VistalibWWE21500LZXMVSD5_00 library all cabs can be installed manually as desired.

.. An SDConfig.txt file is provided with the installation of the two required cabs or we can flash without an SDConfig.txt file in the SD card.
