Hi Steven,

Thank you for your feedback...

I'm just trying to make a rom with WM 6.1 (like you have done) just to understand the mechnism used...

I have dumped my PDA with pdocread. So I have 3 raw file... How could I dump the file of the part that contains the imgfs for an asus ?

Thank you.

Hi Guyz,

I was able to create a ROM based on wm 6.1 (USA).... I have tried to do the same think with wm6.1.4... I have able to create the rom but the first issue was the size... I think if the rom is more than 55Mbtis, CANNES doens't write on the flash... (could you please confirm) ?

So I have decided to remove windows Live to save some space but nothing :(

Is there any tricks to have the 6.1.4 working ?

Tool used : buildos, dumpxip, wmreloc, igfstool...

Thank you.

Mrnice
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Good news! My new laptop I will be using for development is coming today. After some configuration, I will be setting up the kitchen, and getting ready to make roms again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Excellent! Besides those, did you remember to use Bepe's (or preferably Ervius's version of Bepe's) package tool? Another question for ya, Where did you get the XIP and SYS to make the WM6.1 rom? As for WM6.1.4, I just dumped the WM6.1.4 classic rom from the WM6.1.4 emulator that Microsoft put out. As for the rom, I don't think you can go beyond the 48mb size of imgfs.bin that the asus rom has. So as long as you can fit it inside that amount of space, I think you will be good. Be sure to use Package Tool to get rid of all the unneeded packages correctly!

Update: Mr Nice, please check your pm inbox. I sent you a little something.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Big Update: Well, I managed to make a WM6.5 rom (based on a fairly recent build) that actually boots, and (for the most part) works! The only thing is that bluetooth doesn't work, but I'm working on that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] himi:
hi Stephen, that sounds great! i have a question. will i be able to flash my A696 having CSY (Czech) ROM? i mean i want English ROM anyway (i sent you PM) but will this 6.5 ROM perform language check as official ROMs from Asus do?

thx, can't wait ;)

Square Mark / Marking of multiple Icons/file

Hi Steven,

first of all, thanks for your work.

In this ROM, i can't mark a square (tap hold and moving to mark a square and select all items in this square).

Is it a WM 6.1 thingie ?

Can you say, when we can expect the kitchen ?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xmixas:
Can't wait for wm 6.5. Thanks for job Steven.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pawo99:
anything new?

Hi there is anything new about ROM for ASUS A6x6? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bmasephol:
For some reason my mail notifications on this thread were not working. Good to hear that there is still some work being done! Anxiously waiting for the next ROM to test.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] imbibovita:
Blinking Blue...

I saw this in one post a ways back, but it looked like the ROM was updated to fix it, unfortunately I still am having the same issue.

I have the ROM on a fat 16 card, and it is correctly named. I hold power and enter. I double tap reset. The blue screen comes up recognizing the fat 16 card. If I let go of the power and enter it boots straight into windows mobile and all my personal settings are reset. If I continue holding the buttons down it resets over and over blinking the initial blue screen but never going any further into processing.

Any suggestion on how this can be resolved? I have an A626.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tester66:
After editing the file like

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4860396&postcount=78

It works for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] imbibovita:
I'm a dunce

Oh, I get it, you changed that yourself! I read that earlier, but thought the main file was updated with that change.

Ok changed that and no more resetting, but now it just sits there saying "Waiting for Download"

Has been like that for about 10 minutes....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Marxamuel:
Thank you for your work. With all due respect.

I spent 20 minutes on this download site and looked at all kinds of adds and coupons and I've run out of patience. Is there any possibility of you using another upload site?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] life-saver:
Hi there, Thank you for takin the time to upgrade WM for us, you are very talented.

I Sucessfully upgraded to 6.1, but now, the keyboard icon on the bottom tray is gone... VERY irritating. Appart from that, it is running well, with all glitches previously mentionned (IE arrow, and sound setup).

Depending on the time it will take to fix this(keyboard)... do you know of any place where I can find the Original Asus Version of WM6? it is not on my "getting started" CD, and it can't be found anywhere on asus web site.

... did I just got rid of my Original OEM WM6 for ever? shhish.

Thanks again for you work.

P.S. I must say that I wasn't able (no matter how hard i tried) to download the rom from sharecash. I somehow found it -elsewhere-. It is a shame that most post from this thread talk more about download problems than the actual upgrade...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lord_dizzy:
Nope, you can get the original firmware

Go to support.asus.com, select PDA and there should be all firmwares you want (english = FUU_WWE firmware.zip)

Steven, any good news to come? Please make some peoples happy again :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] life-saver:
emm Firmware yes... my guess was that it is not the OS. (as in Bios vs. OS)

i noticed they are quite large, but unpon installing, it tells me that i already have the version installed... (or newer because of WM6.1?) so it won't go further...

i think i'm screwed... or maybe if I take the img file, and rename it to CANNES_A_WM6.img and follow the same procedure as in the OP it might work...

any guess before I completely destroy my pda?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lord_dizzy:
That is what I did for going back to 6.0 ASUS fw, so you should not go wrong with that scheme.

Also there is a method with a flasher from PC, but I didn't bothered with it (it was mainly used for changing OS native language or so...)

Good luck!

LE: but why you need to go back anyway? :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] life-saver:
well like i mentionned earlier, I don't see the keyboard icon in the lower taskbar. So i can't make it apear. It does apear (sometimes) when i click a text zone, but not in every apps. So this is a major pain that makes me want to go back. Youtube is working in 6.1 and not in 6.0 so I guess i'll change back to 6.1 as soon as it is fixed.

The installation back to 6.0 worked fine by the way.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
I must say that these past few weeks have been a pain for me with both school and rom development. The bluetooth problem is my main priority and that is why I have not released a WM6.5 rom yet (bluetooth does not work at all!!). I think I have found the source of the problem and a fix, but I can't test it unless I find my missplaced SD card that I use for testing roms. Please know that I am also moving everything back to the old server due to numerous complaints with the current downloading situation.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Oh, by the way, how many wanting to make their own roms would like to have my rom kitchen? At present, it comes without instructions (and is limited to WM6/WM6.1 due to me not being to build a sucessful WM6.5 rom), but I know there are those of you out there that either know what you're doing with rom building or are willing to do the homework to learn how to build roms that want the rom kitchen. Instructions will come later (spring break, for me, is the 1st week of March, so I can work on instructions then).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bmasephol:
If you publish a 6.1 kitchen I'd be willing to try to figure out how to create my own ROM. Might help me better understand this stuff. Keep after the 6.5 rom... I know I speak for many when I say thanks for putting in the time and effort.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tester66:
Me too...

Would test it for an german image and my prob with marking multiple thingies.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lord_dizzy:
Can't wait then for a 6.5 tour . And if you'll want to enlighten us about WM6.0/6.1 kitchen, I will gladly eat from it knowing that I will not risk ingesting anything bad for my PDA to broke ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Electrifying:
Hi, i'm also quite interested in this. Does it work on an A636 (not the N version)?

If so, could you possibly cook a Dutch rom?

Thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
No, these roms are designed for the Asus Mypal models A626, A686, and A696. The A636 is in a different device class. As for multi-lingual roms, those are in the works. There will at least be some during my spring break, but I've got midterms to focus on at the moment.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Update: I finally have a WM6.5 rom working that actually has bluetooth working (that was the 1 thing I couldn't get working before). Unfortunately, I can't get the fancy new WM6.5 today screen to display and I had to take out MS Office to save space. I will be solving the Office thing once I figure out how to make it into a cab file. Oh, and the lockscreen isn't working either. However, I will still release the rom since those are only minor things and I know that everyone wants a WM6.5 rom. I will upload it and change the file hosting situation some time this weekend.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bmasephol:
Fantastic news. I'll be checking in this weekend to see if a ROM drops. Thanks for all the work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xmixas:
Hey, very good news steven. I'm too waiting on weekend.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
The 1st public WM6.5 rom for the Asus A6x6 has been uploaded earlier than I originally said. You can get it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=638588. The kitchen upload will follow this weekend.

Some bugs:

1) Sometimes my PDA hangs when I close any program and I have to restart pda

2) In file explorer can't select files

3) TaskManager has ceased to run, I can not understand why
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
1. this may be because you have a program open (in the background) that's eating a big enough amount of ram

2. I have never experienced this

3. I've encountered this, but I have no idea why it does this (not sure if it's a hit or miss thing??)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] valyan:
1. I do not think so. Because it happens in open 2-3 software(PocketRAR, FileExplorer, menu "Programms")

2. And how do you move, copy or delete multiple files at once?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [nemielas]:
Hi Steven855,

firstly congrats on the work you're doing and good luck with it.

Now I'd like to leave some feedback on your fw which I hope will help for the future development.

I've got friend's Asus A696 which is basicaly used for GPS.

I've upgraded it to latest official Asus fw:

WM 6

CE OS 5.2.1239 (build 17746.0.2.4)

V03.0735.00 WWE0409

V08270700

and I was unhappy with OS speed and found rather strange and annoying glitch - if under "Settings - Today - Items" you'll disable "Wifi" from showing on screen you'll find "Desktop" process under "Settings - Memory - Running programs" which if by accident killed will crash OS. Enabling "Wifi" under "Today" will make "Desktop" process disappear.

So I took your v1 and v2 WM6.1 fw for testing and 'd like leave some comments:

v1

WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20757 (build 20757.1.4.0)

============

1) multiple file/folder selection is not possible with stylus, just from "Menu - Select all";

2) IE got that mouse pointer/square;

3) if you go to "My Documents - My Pictures" select any default picture and choose to delete it "Confirm file delete" dialog box will pop up over bottom menu however keyboard icon will stay on top - it's minor but not really nice ;) ;

4) now if I got it right "Task Manager" replaced previous "Settings - Memory - Running programs" but it drags that strange glitch from official version I've described above - dissable "Wifi" item from "Today" and this time you won't be able to launch "Task Manager". Re-enabling "Wifi" under "Today" allows to run "Task Manager". Some of the guys reported this but if I recall right didn't know when it happens.

============

v2

WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.21054 (build 21054.1.6.7)

=================

1) multiple file/folder selection still not possible with stylus;

2) IE and mouse pointer;

3) same minor problem with "Confirm file delete" dialog box as above;

4) "Task Manager" problem as above;

5) NEW: "Settings - Personal - Sound & Notifications - Notifications" no events;

6) another minor problem: just at the last screen which says "Setup is complete. Tap screen to continue" desktop backgrounds are not aligned properly :) ;

for the rest I'd like to shake your hand - you've done great job!!! :) OS is running much faster.

I'll be having this PDA for week or two so if you'll need any feedback on testing your builds I'll be glad to help.

PS btw, Steven855 I've left couple of comments on your WM6.5 build thread
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pitp:
Main problem is within Notifications, missing all sounds.

Check complete system, dont forget thats Classic. :-)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snow2133:
How do you change this two bits?

Thanks!

ok, I find it how
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Did you check my 2nd post in this thread (for donations)? As for the bad download service, I apologize. This is the first time I had tried something like this. I will try to fix it as soon as posible.

Update: I have finally got around to fixing that dastardly download link. Downloads should now be smooth until I come out with the next WM6.1 (which I am planning to make a multi-lingual release, that's partially why it's taking so long for the next release).
[HD2 General] kersh:
I have only 120mb of 180 for programs or similar on the device.

Is not very low? It have 512mb, maybe 200 for the rom or so, but 380 in use and only 120 for the user?
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
WWE ROM is around 280MB AFAIK. I don't know what language ROM you are using, but it definitely shouldn't use 380 MB. You should have slightly less than 200MB available.
[HD2 General] ardsar:
Storage size to user is 181.6MB. However it looks like HTC install some apps that use some of this. I have only installed spb wireless monitor, resco explorer and a few other small bits and im down to 105MB
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
That's annoying. There are things that don't belong in ROM such as navigation software, or the silly Navipanel thingie, and some other stuff that can save around 20-30 megs in a custom ROM. Taking a brief look at the files, I can see how I can free up another 20 or 30 megs by removing other stuff without losing any functionality or the goodies. So custom ROMs will certainly improve things a bit without becoming "lite" or introducing bugs... However, it certainly sucks that they made such a device with such a small storage.
[HD2 General] fards:
guys kick back, chill out and listen to your selves for a bit, you're complaining because you have over 100 mb of *storage space* left, that's not program memory that's unused wasted space you've paid for and aren't using! LOL

When you're down to 2mb then start worrying about it?
[HD2 General] Ciddy:
plus there's a 2GB microSD card in the box, not the usual 32 MB card you'd get with your latest 5 MP compact camera.

I ordered myself a 16 GB card to go along anyway. Where are those 32 GB microSD cards SanDisk anounced in spring 2008 anyways?

;)
[HD2 General] mrturq:
i had to hard reset my phone because the second day my memory was full

i couldn't install mobile shell 3.5

so, i think its an issue
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think this is an issue too.

I've only installed 1/2 the apps I had on my HD, and I've got just over 20MB left. I had shed-loads left on the HD, even after installing everything I want!

Don't want to start flashing ROMs on a brand new phone, but maybe a lite version is the way to go.

Just have to wait and see what the chefs cook up.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
On my Touch HD I'm using around 180 megs of internal storage, and I don't store any documents, photos, videos or any other user files there, my SatNav app is on the storage card. So this is all taken by mail and apps.

In this case lite ROMs seem to be the only reasonable way to go. Like I said earlier, it's easy to free up some 50-60 megs (even more actually if we remove sample pictures, some ringtones etc.) without losing functionality, and keeping the ROM quite "full". SatNav just has nothing to do in internal memory when you have 512 megs of it, I don't know what they were thinking putting it there.
[HD2 General] mike91t:
don't forget to change the cache in opera to your storage card as it is set to default on internal. Also of course use storage card for mail attachments.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
That's a good call but I think they might be the same application. Trying out the Magic's Sense messaging app might work too but I believe the issue is Sense not the phone specific app. I might be wrong. When I get a chance I will replace the apps and see if there is any difference (obviously this will take a few days of testing to really find out). You can just pull the app from the Eris dump btw and push it yourself too.

1. Go in to the default Messaging app > Menu > Settings and uncheck retreive sms and mms > uncheck notifications

3. Go to the people app, do like your going to send an sms message, a pop up will come up asking which app yyou'd like to do this from > check-mark default and select your preffered messaging app

4. paypal me $1
