If you are using MemMaid, you may find that its startup module conflicts with the xHook startup component of xTask installed by this ROM. I also experienced a disabled power button (along with the inconvenience of having to turn on the device by soft-resets) and inconsistent charging states after installing this ROM and MemMaid, but they disappeared whenever I disabled the startup links for either MemMaid or xHook. See if that works.

update rom wm6.5

What is wrong?

Why this message:

I use hx4700 with wm2003 Second Edition.

Please help?

WM 6.5, some feedback

Hi Spiaatie,

I was experimenting a bit with the new ROM and I would like to give some feedback according to my experience:

- Installation was smooth, no problem at all according to the description.

- After the clean installation, 23.5MB RAM free in my 64MB unit. ....mmm, could be better, maybe in the future some "light" ROM could optimize this. I was running Alkor 2.1 (WM 6.1) and had 33MB, that's perfect.

-Wifi: I was able to find all the available signals, but when trying to log-in into mine, I was not able to establish connection. Tried soft-reset, and nothing.

Fortunately, I had a .cab somewhere to fix possible problems with Wifi when testing previous WM6.1 ROMs (LazyMind_WM6_WiFi_fix_by_Vagus.cab). That fixed the issue and now it connects perfectly.

- When going to Systems -> Power, I see at the very bottom "Adjust backlight, wireless" on a huge font size (and actually you cannot click/adjust any option)

- When pressed Tasks button, I see now that WM6.5 has a new menu! (new to WM6.5, you can tell! :P ) The thing is that ones you get to "FileMan" , after "Services", you cannot go back and all the tabs turn to "FileMan". You have to press Tasks button again to exit the whole menu.

-Titanium Weather (ver. 4.2): I tried to add it to the default panel and started having problems with "untrusted file, certificate missing". After playing a bit installing, uninstalling, trying some fixes, a message appeared saying "An error occurred on sub_main_app_start. An error occurred retrieving the registry key". I really don't know now if this is a problem with Titanium Weather, or is the ROM which is missing something. (opinions?)

-Tried Skype and Opera Mobil 10... PERFECT! Opera is even faster now on WM6.5 than on WM6.1

-Soon I will try NDrive with a CF GPS. This was doing very good on WM6.1. If something goes wrong, I'll let you know.

-Bluethoot: Sorry, I don't use it, no way to test it.

Well, so far this is what I got in my HX4700. Hope it helps! Thank you very much for all the work you've done Spiaatie!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frblckstr1:
Same problem with connecting to WiFI here, that cab fixed it.

I see the a problem with the 'big font at the bottom' also in the HP Asset Viewer, there is something displayed under the tabs which is overlaid by the bottom bar.

Question: If I look at the 6.5.3 ROM made for the ASUS the start start button and most of the time the 'X' is displayed in the bottom bar, very convenient when using the device in one hand ('thumb controllered') is this possible with this ROM?

Anyway, Thanks for the ROM! Also shows how good the design of the HX4700 actually is!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
This is a light ROM. WM6.5 use more memory. If you want 33MB free - go back to WM6.1

I rebuilded the ROM and included wzcsvc.dll. So there's no need for that cab anymore.

I can't change anything there. Power and Backlight apps are not really well compatible with WM6.5.

It's xTask add-on software - Taskmanager. I use it to close software with iTask button.

There's a bug in that software that it stays on FileMan.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
No, this is WM6.5 not WM6.5.3.

WM6.5 does have a start at top.

WM6.5.3 does have a start at bottom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wamozono:
I've been doing a little more testing and it looks like there are some bugs with the navigation pad when screen rotation is enabled. The navigation buttons are not reassigned as they used to be, and cursor mode doesn't really work at all. I know that the NavPoint software is an add on, but is there any chance this could be fixed?

I am very impressed with every aspect of this rom except when i try to run SPB tv, it stoppes and disappear all by sudden. I think it has something to do with memory shortage or something. I was wondering, if you could cook a wm 6.1 rom with the same stability as your curren rom wm 6.5, then the memory shortage problem will disappear. once again thanks for hard work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dickster:
Spiaatie. Great Job, amazing WM6.5 on this old device.

I tried it but returned to WM6.1. Probably a great rom for people who had their hx4700 upgraded to 128MB. Whish i had it upgraded a few years ago, but i am not going to spend 130 USD on an old device.

I am still running the alkor rc2.2 wm6.1 rom. In my opinion a very good WM6.1 rom. Have you ever tried this wm6.1 or another alkor release?

Power button does'n turn on

I'm experiencing a similar problem as follows: power button does turn off but doesn't turn on (have to soft reset). Seems to be related also to xHook (disabling it in startup folder solves), but after further testing the suspect is that is related to the startup items ORDER. With sktools I set xhook to the first place in startup order and after that the problem didn't occur anymore. Only one day positive testing, but I think it's worth a try

SD 2Gb SanDisk

Hi all

Just bought a 2GB SanDIsk memory ( normal SD, not HC...) and formatted it FAT

Does not seem to be recognized by my Hx4700 (Spiaatie WM6.5-v1_T)

Did I make a mistake ( FAT vs FAT32 ) or is there a known problem with this SD brand ?

thks in advance for clarification
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Paolojyp:
I'm currently using a Sandisk microSD 2Gb with SD adapter, besides a Transcend SD 4Gb, no issues with this ROM.

If you are very very low in battery, SD is disabled. Otherwise, no other suggestion than soft reset and try again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spud42:
you would be better off formatting to fat32 .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zorglub!:
Hi Spud42

Done !!! but still not recognized !!

My 1GB ( SanDisk ) is accepted and works like a charm but not the 2Gb

A part from formatting, is there something else to be done ?

Another quicky...Close to the SD logo, thee is a small 2 in a small circle...Could this be indicating that it is SDA 2.00 spec...which indirectly says ( even if not marked on the case ) that it is an SDHC stuff !!!

On your own Sd card, you have the small 2 ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zorglub!:
SD speed class

back on the subject...

After having spent some time on the Internet, I finally discovered that the small 2 in a circled C close to the logo defines the "speed class " of he SD,and speed class 2 is 13 times the old 1.2 Mbits/s xfer speed, hence close to 2MBytes/s( minimum ?..)

Is such a value OK for an Hx4700 or too high ?

thks in advance for a clarification
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spud42:
what are you using to format the card?

a class 2 card will work in the 4700 but may be slow. but going much faster is a waste of money as well...... there was a user at the mobilitysite.com called mennysis or close to that... he is a reviewer and developer on win mobile.

some of his posts on performance of the hx4700 are very enlightening....

i think anything faster than class 6 is a waste..... but go read it was a great site but the damn smartphones are killing it off a bit, getting quieter. i have the same user name there ....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zorglub!:
@Spud42

First, thks for yr answer...

What am I using to format the card...well i've tried at least 4 formatters

1) Std Windows XP stuff ( I read some points saying this is not the way to go...

2)HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool...

3)panasonic sdfv1212 + sdfix2G

4) my own camera...

I chose FAT32 each time ...and when inserted in the Hx4700, card not recognized

Finally, I retuirned (and got refunded...) the card...and bought a new one ( from an older SanDisk model...I mean, prior the new speed class spec );

I shld receive it in 3 or four days ang give it a try...and of course, let you know..

I'll have a look at this mobilitysite you pointed me to

thks again

HP Bluetooth Foldable keyboard

Hi,

First of all, great job Spiatie, the rom seems to work prefectly.

I have one of those HP Bluetooth Foldable Keyboard but I've been unable to make it work. In the bluetooth connection manager, if I try to pair both devices (pda and keyboard) as a keyboard connection, the pda doesn't recognize the keyboard. The PDA only recongnizes the connection if I pair them as a serial device but, in that case, the PDA doesn't recognize the keypress.

The drivers for previous windows mobile versions doesn't work. I have tested generic keyboard drivers as blueinput but no way. I've also tested both roms but nothing.

Is there any solution for that? Am I doing something wrong? Could anyone provide me the right steps to make the keyboard works?

Thanks in advance.

BT Keyboard with WM6.5 last version

My experience with the HP keyboard ... when I bought it along my new hx4705 some years ago ... was that it was fiddly and testing my patience.

So I then got a 'Think Outside' Stowaway Universal BT Keyboard .. plus the Stowaway BT Travel Mouse. These proved to be good performers for me as I cascaded to newer the ROM versions.

The KB readily registers with the 4705, without installing the custom driver that came with it ... which was a surprise to me. However, the Mouse needs the driver installed ... and both can be used together.

I tried listening to music on my MOTO S805 BT headset ... while having the KB and Mouse active ... but limitations showed up as choppy reception. Works perfect by itself. If you want to listen to music with the KB and Mouse active, you might try the AUVIO cordless set with the RF sender plugged into the audio socket ... works fine.

Hope this helps ...

wifi no longer detects my home network

Hi all

I have lost the wifi connection and can't reconnect the 4700 ( WM 6.5 v1T or V1_C, tried both..) to my home network..

During the detection phase of all surrouding access points (AP), my home network is no longer detected ( it exists and works fine...my laptop is Wifi connected to it...) when a good dozen of other Access points are visible

of course, I have triple checked that my home network is not masked out...

I think the HW works fine because I can connect to an open AP

So, almost everytihng works fine...except my own AP...drives me nuts that thing !!!

Is there a specific file who could have been corrupted, explaining the problem ?
