Roms (5A2D) 5.2.23547PRO_VOIP WM6.5.5 com5 ("Finger UI"): E01 release (special thanks to Shadrac)

E01: WM6.5.5 VOIP Pro (23547) WWE 4 Mo Extendir

features:

--12 Mo pagepool.

--both IE6 Mobile.

--dking 2700G driver

--patched Wireless Manager

--TCPMP with finger friendly skin (via UC)

--Titanium weather & wireless pluggin (via UC)

--Office 2010 (via UC)

--a 450 Ko dking DKLogo slot, that you can use to customize the x51v Boot Logo with dking Dell Logo Utility. The slot is preloaded with default WM6.1 welcome screen, you can put a compressed image up to 450 Ko (to compare with the Dell original logo that weight 120 Ko compressed).

--ThisPro rom have native VOIP plus all WM6.5 extra that can be installed using Shadrac PresetInstaller (so you can actually have a full WM6.5 rom in your axim)

To know more about the incredible Extendir feature read this thread.

At first boot both rom will installed the mandatory package via UC (be patient during this phase), at second boot PresetInstaller will be automatically launched so you can install extra package using preselection or chosen by yourself.

It means that if you want to hard reset your device you need to have you SD card to installed the mandatory packages. ( or your system won't be stable).

Extendir roms have been tested with older French builds, those roms perform better but might conflict with other softwares (and then become unstable).

If you don't want extendir and you have a 128 Mo x51v, you can use the A11: WM6.5.5 Classic lite(23547) WWE romhttp://rapidshare.com/files/372747495/DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM65_A11_5BFB_WWE_lite.zip and apply this packagehttp://rapidshare.com/files/372759098/Full6.5gui_for_5BFB_lite.zip to transform the WM6.5 lite OS into a regular one (You should also increase the pagepool value). Then you can check the WM6.5 extra from A11 Extended rom package to see if they are compatible.

WM 6.5.5 Makuu ROM for X51v - 128 Mb Ram upgraded

Thanks Makuu for these two new roms based in one of the most recent WM builds 23547 - com 5, with a lot of new features, nice aspect and very stable and with excellent performance (specially E01). The page pool size of 12 Mb I think is a perfect choice for a 128 Mb ram device. The extended package for a previous rom - 23085 it's compatible in a good portion of the pack, let in add web apps as Windows Live, Messenger, Bing & Bubble Breaker game; Skymarket, Welcome center are not compatible with this build. I miss the release of build 23547 Professional - VOIP version WWE without extendir that can be useful for people that wants to run the Professional version but can not run extendir for compatibility or because simply do not like; anyway I like for performance extendir.

As an owner of X51v I feel lucky and priviliged with your work, you are the only one chef keeping up to date our x51v.

Thanks again and Long life to you. Best regards.

dumb question

so sorry guys to ask such a dumb question. firstly is this a ROM and if it is does it or would it run on the dopod 838 pro/imate JASJAM? also if this is a rom that works on the JASJAM etc how do i flash it? thanks and again sorry for the question.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tabatt13:
This is a ROM, but only for the Dell Axim X51v with the 128 Mb RAM upgrade.

@makuu thanks for replying, but I already flashed it today while on lunch break :) It is almost the same, but fixes a bug I was having with the Big Clock on the Home Screen. The only software issue I have, at least with new apps is the official Youtube app crashes, and fim can't connect. Other than that it is a very stable and fast ROM!:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rumjar86:
Guess What

i am running your Rom on my JASJAM... without a problem... it's so funny
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jkammueller:
Problem with the bottom menu bar!

I want to run Pocketnester but when I configure the graphics, I cannot save my settings as the original OK / cancel buttons aren't there anymore. In fact, I am forced to kill the process with task manager. This problem is not caused by PocketNester as all the older programs do not have the menu bar at the bottom to touch OK to save or cancel to exit on setup dialog boxes. The only way I was able to do anything was edit the registry and that takes too long. I am using Makuu's custom wm65 23060.5.3.0 build on the x51v with the custom bottem menu bar. If there was a way to leave the original save and OK buttons at the top for older apps including PocketNester and morphgear? You can install those apps and try to configure them and you will understand when you setup the app. it will solve the issue. I actually like the bottom button bar. If the clasic applications could cancel / OK out of msg boxes, then Makuu's ROM is perfect! Please help. Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mirskym:
Sigh . . I ran into a similar problem with an app that just can't work with the new 6.5.x ROMS with the Start at the bottom. I needed that app, so I have stopped my ROM updating at the last makuu ROM that had the top menu bar (I think he called it Stylus).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jkammueller:
here's an idea

If Makuu could have an option to configure the ui from the settings control panel including what i posted (we'll call it stylus/finger combo UI) , a stylusUI, and a fingerUI setting, that would rock!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mirskym:
Agreed, but I think that any of the very recent WM6.5.x ROMS have the finger Ui (eg bottom panel Start button) hard coded in. I'd be happy if I'm proven wrong. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
If you want stylus UI it means you want a com2 rom, any other FInger UI com are a different OS. You cannot have dual boot with PPC. So you just choose the one you want in your particular case com2.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mirskym:
makuu: Are there new versions of com2 ROMs being released? My impression was that com2 was an earlier version of WM6.5.x and that all the later ROMS were finger UI (high number coms)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
Yes new com2 version are still released.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mirskym:
Great! Then you have my enthusiastic and appreciative vote for you to develop a new com2 ROM. Right now I'm using your:

Rom (5574) 5.2.21876 WM6.5.x com2 ("Stylus UI"): classic lite

A11: WM6.5.x Classic lite with Titanium Gold4 axim(21876) WWE

The extendir version doesn't seem to work with SecondToday. But if Extendir V2 gets further developed and you release a com2 ROM with it I'm interested in trying again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] daniu:
Hi!

Just wondering: is there actually only 1 ROM with Office included or did you just not mention it in the other cases? 5.2.23547PRO_VOIP WM6.5.5 com5

And another one: "Stylus UI" would be available with all ROMs if I understand correctly? So I can just uninstall the Finger UI?

Excited to flash tonight :-)

best regards

Rom (5C0B) 5.2.23563 WM6.5.5 com5 branch : PRO release

A11: WM6.5.5 PRO (23563) WWEhttp://rapidshare.com/files/385083548/DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM65_A11_5C0B_WWE_pro.zip

This is the A11 final concept with optimized themes for file system performance improvement.

features:

--IE6 Mobile

--native VOIP

--Showcase.

--hibernate.

--screen capture.

--dking 2700G driver

--patched Wireless Manager

--TCPMP with finger friendly skin

-- Default theme (stylus UI) for low memory consumption (a lite version of the original Rock and Republick black theme)

--Titanium weather & wireless pluggin (via UC)

--Office 2010 (via UC)

--FingerKB (via UC)

--file system optimized original WM6.5 Finger UI theme: DVF Green, Isaac Mizrahi purple, Rock and Republic black, Vera Wang Red (via UC)

--file system optimized Elcondor WM6.5 Finger UI theme: Condor GT Black Edition (via UC)

--All 6.5 Extra (via UC)

--a 450 Ko dking DKLogo slot, that you can use to customize the x51v Boot Logo with dking Dell Logo Utility. The slot is preloaded with default Dell boot screen, you can put a compressed image up to 450 Ko (to compare with the Dell original logo that weight 120 Ko compressed).

--This branch has magnifier feature and new contact management.

This rom have a default page pool value of 12 Mo

Trick: if you need more memory switch to default theme and inactivate titanium, when memory is not an issue just use a Finger UI theme & titanium.

Customize UC if you don't need all 6.5 components. You can also run this rom on a 64 Mo device but then change pagepool to 3.2 Mo and don't use all the 6.5 components refer to the lite thread and check memory consumption table. Compared to a classic rom this rom will use about 2 Mo more because it's a pro rom and runs VOIP phone processes. So If you don't need a pro rom, just take the lite classic 5C0B nb0 together with the 6.5 packages of this rom, you will then get a full 6.5 classic rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JDima:
Makuu, thanks for the new version. Already installed it.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this one! Is there any way to turn the latest branch into true finger UI (like 6.1 or early 6.5)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
Use any of the file system optimized themes
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JDima:
Sorry, I meant "stylus IU", not "finger UI".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dimirass:
makuu many thanks for another great rom!!!!

Now just 2 questions:

a.weather icons don't exist in titanium theme, just an X ,amy solution?

b.is it possible to assign other apps in titanium, eg. photo manager , flexmail replacing pictures and e-mail items?

Can I check with you that with Makuu Lite you are able to connect to Wifi with WPA-TKIP? I lost my wifi WPA-TKIP access with Makuu Lite, been searching everywhere for answers but to no avail. Am thinking of reverting back to wm6.1 just to get back my wifi. Pls let me know if you need to do anything to get wifi WPA-TKIP access.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dimirass:
Any answer?

By the way this rom works great until now and I thin faster than A11(28002) I used before.

WI-FI with WPA-TKIP also works very well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mtal1:
In the latest release of WM6.5 more recent builds I had not experienced any problem with the WiFi connectivity including WPA-PSK-TKIP. But which is true is that all of these releases in the first attempt to connect is not 100% automatic to detect the settings; when you turn on the WiFi in your Ax you must to go to settings, select the desired network and unmark/uncheck the box where say "this is a hidden network", then select manually the encryption method and provide the password; with those steps you must be able to connect. This works fine for both flavors, professional VOIP and lite versions. I hope this help.

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
I don't know what you mean. The strategy to build a rom is not language dependent. You can build your CHS rom the same way of any other rom, you just need the CHS data. There are many chinese forum that can help you doing that, check rombeta for exemple.

SO I want to voip using the built in function but how do I do this?

If I set up an online account with a voip provider don't I just need to configure server details or am I missing something? I can't find anywhere to configure the built in voip!

Connect to Bluetooth GPS Device fails

Hi - I have downloaded and installed DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM65_A11_5C0B_WWE_pro

and I am lucky that I found this ROM here.

But one of the first thing I tried to config is the connection to Holux GPSlim 236 via Bluetooth.

The device is being found by x51v and can be configured using the defaults (and as it was working with WM5). But when trying to connect, the msg "...The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect." Well the passcode for Holux is 0000. I have tried to ommit the passcode, because there is no secure connection essential. I have tried to key in the passcode - and some variations but nothing helps.

Does anyone have an idea how to get it to work?

Thanks, Rainer

BTW- access to my LAN and to Internet via WLAN works well.

THANKS - BIG to makuu for his great work !!!

Password Troubles

Is there a way to bypass the password pin number (or turn the password off) from activesync accessing files?

I love this ROM, However with the final A11, I set a password PIN. When rebooting, it appears the lockscreen comes up before the device has finished booting. When I do enter the password, it goes to the today screen. I am not able to get to the 2nd today screen (with all of the programs), or access any of the system settings.

I go thru the usual steps, after selecting the right ROM on my SD card, pressing action twice within 3 seconds, i get the error message

barebone VoIP ROM

First, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Makuu for building these wonderful ROMs for us x51v owners.

I have an original 64MB x51v, and I would like to use it mainly as a wifi voip phone. Therefore, I would like to have a bare bone Pro ROM that has VoIP without other fancy add-on components. That way the PDA will be more responsive and I will have enough memory to run other software.

However, I am really new to this ROM update thing, and I have been reading this thread for a few days on and off, I am still lost on how to remove all add-ons to free up RAM. The best I can do is 10-11MB free RAM. It will be greatly appreciated if someone can point me to a tutorial or a detailed instruction on how to do this.

It would be ideal if Makuu can release a completely striped down version Pro WM6.5 ROM so that we can just use it for VoIP plus one or two applications that owner desires. Thank YOU Makuu!

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
Check the lite rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dramerica:
Thanks Makuu for you quick reply! If I understood it correctly, your lite version does not have native voip. What I really want is to use x51v as an ip phone, with light web capability. A lite version rom with voip would be perfect!

Thanks!

ps I knew that I could install 3rd party voip software, but none of them looks nice as your native voip in pro rom, not to mention integration of contact.

You are right, I did cooked lite pro version but never published it. If you want lite Pro just use the last A11 5C0B rom, remove Full6.5_gui.cab from UC, stick with the default theme and reduce pagepool.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dramerica:
Again, thank you Makuu for getting back to me!

I did try to reduce pagepool, however the program pagepool editor you posted at the front page does not recognize A11 rom. Would you provide updated cfg file?

Appreciated!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
I don't have the rom with me just open nb0 file in any hexeditor and find following kind of sequence:

FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 9B 4F FF FF 64 B0 00 00 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 00 00 80 00

That would mean that pagepool=8M

Some exemples:

00 00 80 00 =8M

00 00 C0 00 =12M

00 00 00 01 =16M

00 00 80 01 =24M

00 00 00 02 =32M

You can find other exemples in the cfg file, you can also modify the cfg file at your convenience.

Don't forget too generate the new crc file (you can use the pagepool tool for that).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dramerica:
Great, that was very helpful Makuu! I was able to reduce pagepool to 3.2M.

One question: what kind of algorithm is used for crc? I tried EasyHash, its crc-32 codes are different from what you have for original WM6.5.5 rom, and modified one from pp-editor.

Thanks!

ps What tool are you using to cook the rom? I had done some rom for GPS system, but have no idea about WM6 roms.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
I don't know what crc algorythm is used you have to ask the guys from pda.ru that wrote the pp-editor software.

I use old tool to manually cook the rom (bepe, mamaich,..), I don't use kitchen because I like to be in control of what I'm doing.

Thanks Makuu for the rom, I apreciate it, but here's my 2cents honestly I'm not a big fan of the new 6.5 build from Microsoft it's supposed to be more finger friendly but I found it to be a mess, the icons are too big doesn't look nice at all, I like the idea of the start menu on the bottom, but found the switcher type bar at the top that displays volume memory bat ect too be a pain in the ass. If this is the way that Microsoft is taking WM6.5 and WM7 I think they should reconsider.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbz_Ghost:
Very nice piece of work, but yeah, that massive hit to RAM is hurting on my (recently acquired after years of waiting) X51v. Is there a snowball's chance that some of us will ever see a barebones no-frills added basic 6.5 ROM for the X51v (that someone has cooked up, of course that is just that: barebones, with no extra fluff, etc? I mean, I do sorta-kinda like that Fingerkeyboard but, geez, that thing is a ***** to get used to - and yes I realize it'll just take some time, too used to the old style I guess.

Perhaps I need to spend some time focusing on learning how to cook a ROM myself so I can barebones one - I don't need a ton of stuff that's always included or included when possible: Office, Data backup, etc. A lot of stuff that's "stock" I'd dump if possible and get more room/RAM back.

And no Bubble Breaker? Come on... that's the game I always look for and the one I can't live without. ;)

Ok, just kidding there, but the Wife noticed it's missing on this one this thread is about and freaked so, no offense, but I had to revert to Lenny's L14 for the Wife. :D
