Not sure on the life expectancy on flash memory, I find that sometimes it just fails. I actually use a micro SD card with an adapter to do my flashing and then have a 8gb card for once the PDA is setup with my programs, videos and music on it.

Just go to a cell phone store where they have a drop off for used phones, grab them and check them for micro SD cards, I can imagine people forget about those things, especially if they never knew the phone had one to begin with.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Folks, if anyone is wondering why it's taking me so long to put out a rom. It's because of college and (mostly) the fact (evident from previous post) that I am having a hard time trying to get ANY rom to flash with my SD card. After I'm done with my last final next Tuesday, I can finally work on my A626 (doing any necessary cleaning inside and/or outside the device) and work on (finally) flashing a rom.

Update: Thanks to a tip in one of my WM6.1 threads from _barmaley, I was able to get a test rom to flash correctly. The finals thing still stands though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bmasephol:
Good to hear you are able to flash... I think I flashed one of your first 6.1 roms using a cable and via command line from my pc but that was a lot more difficult then using the SD method.

Looking forward to the next release like always. Good luck with finals, I can honestly say I don't miss that week of college, just the rest of the weeks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Regarding MS Office Mobile in WM6.5 roms: I have been working on changing the type of compression that the rom uses in order to fit more stuff (including MS Office). However, all attempts have resulted in a non-booting rom. Therefore, I will not be including MS Office in builds until further notice (when I can finally get a bootable rom with the new compression type), but I AM going to give a link to where you can download a cab (setup) that has MS Office (and is Free). The reason is due to the (increasingly hard) task of making everything fit in the rom with each new release and me not wanting to skimp on quality with the roms. I am sorry if this severely affects anyone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] locozozi:
Hi Steven,

Thanks for the update.

You're the person I'll trust to resolve the non-booting ROM/compression issue! :D

Until then, I'll try the latest 6.5 ROM - Once I got the link for the CAB (I assume it's a full version of Office...).

Thanks for all your efforts & Good luck with the exams.

Cheers

LZ
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Update: I wanted to post an update so everyone isn't totally in the dark about progress on the next rom.

During a break from studying, I found that I was using a bad file for the compression. Luckily, I did find one that (supposidly) works, but I have to go through the task of reallocating dll files (in XIP, if you know what that is) to make it fit (which is a pain!!) since the file size of this is new dll is bigger than the one that Asus originally put in it. After that (and a successful future WM6.5 build), I will be working on linux for Asus A6x6.

Memory problems

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone used the wm6.5 1a rom and iGo navigation together, but in my case the iGO gives me out of memory errors. I started a study and I noticed two things: After a clean flashing with 6.5 in my A696 I have about 25 Mb memory free and when I flashed with original 6.0 ROM I have 31 Mb free. With 6.5 I have out memory errors with iGO, with 6.0 with the same settings of iGO I don't have the errors. I tried various memory settings in iGO but no luck, so I must downgraded the WM because I use often the A696 for navigation. If anyone had this situation and resolved this problem ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] imre00:
Programs and settings number of columns

I want to share my contribution, if anyone want to see 4 columns in portrait and 6 columns in landscape mode in the programs and settings screen, just install the attached cab file. If Steven is considering useful he can integrate in the rom. If you don't want to use anymore, uninstall the cab and you are in the original state.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drtek:
Is there any way to change the new menus back to the 6.1 "classic" look? I really hate the new touch-flow main menu and this was the reason for going back to 6.1

Another thing: I would love to have 6.1 or 6.5 in German language but the ASUS patcher I found some days ago does not work (ROM won't flash, just a soft reset).

Anyhow, I really appreciate your efforts - without you my 686 and 696 won't run 6.1 or 6.5 after all.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Sorry to disappoint you, but all the Asus Patcher does is patches the rom so you can flash a rom with a language different from the default language firmware-wise (for example, the default firmware language for me is English, so the Asus patcher would allow me to flash a German-language rom). It does not patch the OS files for a different language. For that, you have to build a new rom (see below).

To go back to the default today screen, just uncheck "Windows Default" in the today settings and choose the today panels that you want

As for different language roms, I will have plenty of time to make those over the summer (break), so expect international versions coming soon (and yes, German is #1 on the list due to most requests). The only reason I haven't done it yet is because of time constraints due to college and me wanting to make a successful rom first (with a language I know) so I can easily solve any bugs with the international versions.

For those of you who still like WM6.1, I am going to be releasing a "Final Mix" rom to close out my series of WM6.1(.4) roms. After that, I will just put out "bug fix" roms to fix any bugs with the final mix rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
What is actually in the cab file? Is it just a bunch of reg entries? If so, can you post those reg entries. As for putting it in the rom, I'm skeptical about it due to the fact that everyone might not like the rom like that. However, if it is a bunch of reg entries, I can post instructions on how to modify it for everyone's liking.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] imre00:
No, there are no registry entries in cab. There are two files StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_320x240.cpr and this files goes to windows directory. They are simple text files which can be edited in notepad.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xmixas:
Thanks. It is very useful for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Now that I'm finally home (from College), I have a new rom built that I will upload in a few hours.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drtek:
That are very good news!! Thanks for the good work! I am so looking forward to an updated 6.5 ROM. For the German versions: I would donate for a German language rom. Thanks!

Hi Steven855,

is there a chance for an WM6.5 upgrade for A636 ?

The answer to this is "NO", as I have neither the knowledge of how the firmware works for the A636 or A636n nor the hardware to test the roms even if I did know how the firmware works.

Hi,

After install this ROM, without problems, download over the links in first post, some impressions:

- BT OK;

- Camera KO, is there a Eclair ROM (ahmgsk release) that is OK. Only videos don't play;

I always have one problem in the ROMS, the keyboard. I use keypad, install (htc_ime), but then i don't have a dictionary (Portuguese). Any Help?! I can install moreLocale2 that have Portuguese but with that i have all my ROM translated to Portuguese and the only thing i need is the dictionary.

this ROM seems very promising... waiting for new releases.

I was running WMLongLife for a couple of weeks when I first got my HD2. It wasn't quite working for me, though, but stuck with it for the sake of my battery life. I was getting 24-36 hours use out of the phone with it installed, so I was reasonably happy.

However, when I uninstalled it, I found I was able to get about 60 hours. I'm not saying this was entirely due to removing WMLongLife, and I admit that usage patterns may have changed (stopped having to show the thing off to everyone) which may have contributed.

this i dunno about that as bart never works on my recovery, guss becaus ei don't have an sd ext partition? but most roms usually say wipe sd ext partitions, and if you find a good backup program (like titanium backup) you'll never really need to worry about that. titanium not only backs up my apps, it backs up thier settings and such. so if i use a tvguide app on one rom and back it up with titanium, when i reload it on another rom it still has my location and such saved. pretty damn nice.
