You need "cecompr_nt.dll" either in the same directory as ImgfsFromDump/ImgfsToDump or in your C:\Windows\System32 :) Any other issues Meekel, feel free to PM me & I'll help you out.

Also for you Chinese guys, arhooker released a Chinese P565 ROM over at a Taiwanese forum based on my latest ROM:

http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=222&t=1330467&p=1

I don't have any benchmark software for either P565 or Leo right now, but when I do I'll post the results (so you can see just how much faster Leo is :p)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Meekel:
Ahh gotcha. I was doing this on my laptop instead of PC so guess that's why I hadn't experienced it before..

Cheers for your continued help Blade0rz! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Meekel:
If anyone wants to... they can download my ROM from http://rapidshare.com/files/318604766/GM5_6.5.3-28008-WWE.abi

Please note that I am a beginner at this.. Please make sure if you use this ROM you understand what can happen..

If anyone does use the ROM please update me on how it goes. I would recommend only using this ROM for testing for now.. but in the future I'm sure it'll get better ;)

I am learning as a I go here, it'll be a long road, but as the time goes on hopefully you'll start to see a steady stream of updates. I followed Blade0rz kitchen and used the "lite" OEM that was provided so won't have anything like the O2 updates that are in Blade0rz latest ROM.. Slowly but surely I'll start to add things like that it. As I say, this ROM is just testing and helping me with my development
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
@Blade0rx: thanks for all your work m8....gl with the new phone :)

@Meekel: Well done on your 1st ROM. I will have a play with it tomorrow night.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Meekel:
Give me a shout how it goes.. I'll be cooking a new ROM tonight where I'll work in things like your USSD fix etc. You can wait around for that one if you like and hopefully it'll be a bit more stable than my first one
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
OK...first impressions:

1. It works! :)

2. Input preferences is missing....I can't switch to large keyboard or turn off predicted words.

3. All ringtones are present :)

Nice to see you haven't tried to hack anything out yet....ASUS Backup is back :)

Memory: Storage=86MB Program=42MB

Good job :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Meekel:
1. Phew :)

2. Will work on that tonight..

3. I love the default ringtone :p

I'll work on a few things tonight and get customising a little more.. Will also start to include the O2 fixes and add-ons

I have a XDA ZEST device and i would like to upgrade it to hungarian language, but i don't find a hungarian rom.

Converting .exe to .abi

Dear everyone,

I am having problem with converting the pure .exe (6.1 rom from O2 UK) for my Zest to .abi to flash by memory card. I am kind of newbie thus I do not have that enough of knowledge to to it. Could anyone give me further instruction?

Or can you tell me anyway to restore my Zest by the pure exe 6.1 rom from O2? I tried but it is unable, the software declined the process due to the differences between devices language and the O2 rom's language.

Many thanks for your help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] agitate:
When you run the exe it will extract the .abi file either into the directory that you ran the exe from, or into your TEMP directory (have a look in your environment settings to see what this is Start->Run->cmd then do echo %TEMP%). Don't close the program before you go and look for the abi though, as it deletes it again when the program terminates. I think you have to rename the abi too. By default it is something like temp.abi but it needs to be called something like:

GM5_V6.12.0S.WWE00.00_M4.6.5.P7_V2.10.0 MYS00_20090123_3050.00.ABI

Sorry I can't be more sure about this bit, but it's been a long time since I stopped using my P565.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ngonamanhbvn:
Many thanks for your help. It works. I have downgrade it back to 6.1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lohtse:

No probs, great to hear you're upgraded :)

All versions will be here eventually. I'll upload them as soon as I have time...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Something for the weekend Sir? ;) :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Precisely ;) Hopefully tonight.

I may include some helpful CABs in the new build too :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Woohoo!! \o/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomme45i:
Awesome! Thank you.

BTW. You could delete ASUS Gester, cause it's not working (propably cause WM 6.5 have scrolling already).

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Yeah...ASUS Gester disables some finger swiping
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
FingerKeyboard2 never finished installing on 23034...got bored after 15 minutes and soft reset...seems to run ok though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Regarding ASUS Gester....O2 have a package on the original Zest firmware called AntiGester.cab (see attached) I have no idea what it does, just ran it on 23034, reboot, Gester is still in control panel :-/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Why on earth would o2 want to get rid of jester on wm 6.1!!

It makes no sense... :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
I have no idea...I didn't even know what Gester was until I flashed an ASUS firmware onto the Zest.

Under WM6.1 Gester is a real bonus but under WM6.5 it breaks some of the finger scrolling functions :-/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Yeah same, i think o2 could've done more to their stock rom. All they did was add a skin to SPB mobile shell and wrote it off as the o2 menu. The gprs settings app they added was useful though.

Has anyone noticed the lag when you try to input letters on the latest build of 6.5 on this thread?

What can be done about this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
WM6.5 is laggier (?) than WM6.1, I find WM6.1 much more responsive. Can only hope the WM6.5 final is fixed.

What was the app name for GPRS settings on the Zest?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Uh, I'm not sure I'll have to flash the o2 ROM back on my device, so I'll probably tell you tomorrow.

Actually i could take a look in the ROM first, but i don't know how to unpack the .nb0 and .img files i have from splitting the ROM.

Yeah and the camera bug, but there's not much chance of them missing that. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Download osnbtool.exe & ImgfsTools:

osnbtool -d os.nb0 2 imgfs.bin

ImgfsToDump.exe imgfs.bin

Should get you all the OS files :)

Yeah, I've noticed this too. This lag is a result of double-tapping. I think it's something to do with the magnifier. A few people have mentioned it in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544445

Not a lot we can do until MS fix it :( I am cooking the new build now, so fingers crossed!

Also, I find Build 23034 to be just as snappy as the stock O2/Asus 6.1 ROM!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
New build 23037 on first page :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:

Quirks:

No AM/PM on initial time setup lol

Magnify is enabled Disabled it via registry: HKLM/System/GWE/Magnifier/Enabled=0 (Reboot)

Feels quite responsive, camera works perfectly (Might be having JMLToday installed)

Request: Can you make the volume buttons work via registry?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Hadn't noticed the am/pm. Isn't it a 24 hour clock?

Magnifier I felt is a "feature". I find it horrible and useless, but somebody might like to try it (after all, these are beta builds)! So I left it in for people to switch off if they wish.

Volume Keys are a known problem, apparently this fixes it but I haven't tried:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OllieD:
Try The Panasonic SD Formatter.

Try Formatting Your SD Card With The Panasonic SD Formatter.

http://panasonic.jp/support/sd_w/download/ftp/sdfv2003.exe

This Tool Is The Best Solution For Formatting SD Cards As Some Devices Are Fussy And Dont Like The Way Windows Formats SD Cards.

After Formatting Your Card Try Updating Your Rom With Only The GM5*.abi File On Your Card.

Hopefully This Will Solve Your Issue.

Regards,

OllieD
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomme45i:
OllieD thank you for your reply but the result is the same. Maybe I should firstly flash with older ASUS stock rom before flash from SD?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
tomme45i, have you renamed the .abi since downloading it?

For the device to consider it as legal, it must be named "GM5_*****.abi" (The stars can be whatever)

Also ThrashMan the GPRS settings app is called O2 Network Settings in the program menu on the device, i haven't looks inside the rom yet so i will later on to give you the cab. (if i can find it :D)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
@Bladez0r: The initial time settings is a 12 hour clock, the AM/PM selector may be hidden under the Apply button. No real problem as time can be set correctly from the control panel whilst setting region to UK :)

@jonnymint: There's a cab in the Zest ROM called NetworkSettingProgram_v2.CAB, maybe that's the one. Will have a play when I get the chance. It looks like 23037 is a pretty good build so I'm not too bothered now. I just love the way WM6.5 seems to have profiles for eash SIM card it meets.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Yeah that cab sounds about right.

But, as you said, it's not really needed in 6.5 as it just knows the settings already.

I always seem to forget to do this until i go to make a call! xD

The only gripe i have with this build is that the slow typing is still there. I know Blade0rz said turning on Gester fixes this, but 6.5 just isn't right without the scrolling :(

I found this cab in another thread, the poster (can't remember who, sorry) said it should fix the typing lag but it doesn't seem to work for me, maybe you'll have more luck!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomme45i:
I've flashed official rom once again, and after that finally I can flash my device true SD card :) Thanks for all replies, and Blade0rz thanks for the new rom :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Did you download 23037 from the first page? Camera is working fine...

I agree, no point in having WM6.5 without scrolling really...I've just got used to the typing. I have searched around and nobody seems to have a fix. I'm still convinced that the Magnifier is intercepting double-taps when it shouldn't be.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jonnymint:
Oops yeah i'm using your new build, thanks btw :D

The camera is fine, but if i try to go on the video camera the device hangs and i have to soft reset. I seem to recall this being mention before though.

Yeah i've noticed that when the magnifer comes on it seems to keep double tapping on the postion it's at, so i agree with you there.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Yeah, even with magnifier switched off (enabled=0) something is intercepting taps. Particularly noticable when trying to enable caps lock on the keyboard (double tap shift).

Switching to movie mode in the camera does appar to lock up the camera application :-/ Using QMenu does allow you to kill the camera app cleanly tho. One day Microsoft will get it right :) (or ASUS need to modify their camera app)

Is there an OpenGL driver for the P565?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pak1to:
to avoid problems with camera app ,requiring a lot of virtual memory, recmod modules in files in to the package Browsingie.

best regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Browsingie modules have already been put through recmod. There should be plenty of memory available for any sort of camera functions...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] agitate:
Hi,

I'd just like to thank you for all your work on these ROMs. I'm running 23037 and it works near perfectly. I'm having the double-click problem, along with everyone else. I also tried the AntiGester cab file from my original O2 ROM, but it didn't do anything. I'm pretty sure it isn't anything that Gester is doing anyway. Something is hooking double clicks at a lower level than other apps (including the SIP), probably the magnifier (as previously mentioned). Is it only P565/Zest owners experiencing this? Does it happen on other Asus devices? It was mentioned in another thread that it could be the OEM touch.dll causing it. I presume that that would be difficult for a third party to fix. Does anyone have any contact with anybody at Asus? I wonder what bit of code in Gester causes the problem to go away?

Anyway, thanks! I think 6.5 is a huge step in the right direction for MS. I was starting to get jealous of Android and iPhone users. Not any more (although Android will still probably be my next OS).

Adam
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
All good points Adam, I suspect all WM6.5 devices are suffering from the double tap issue :-/

Android developement is coming along....will be nice to get it running on the P565 (Zest) one day :D

It's not without it's problems though....a mate at work has a Hero (Android 1.5) and you can't set proxy settings for wireless browsing.

One day phones will work correctly...but then again that will be a sad day for developers if we were all happy with our phones ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Yes, it doesn't seem to be just related to Asus devices, seems to be quite a few people have this problem. I don't think there's anything to be done apart from wait for it to be fixed. Build 23041 doesn't fix the problem though :(

New build should be up later on tonight

EDIT: According to Redmond pie (http://www.redmondpie.com/download-windows-mobile-6.5-build-23041.5.3.0/) build 23041 includes:

"Changes in Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23041:

* The buttons on the bottom bar are now more ovalish than the roundish buttons which were found in previous builds (23036 & 23037) of Windows Mobile 6.5.

* Hardware buttons for volume and camera are now working.

* The status bar on the top has iPhone-like slide effect now. You will now have to slide it to get into the magnified status bar.

* More speedy and responsive.

* Numerous other bug fixes."

"Hardware buttons for volume and camera are now working."

Does this mean there is already a fix for the volume?
