TuMa v1.1 - ALPHA - WM5 ROM - Wizard Ported to BA

Ok everyone, the next "incantation" of the TuMa ROM is now available!
This ROM is a radical expansion and departure from mamaich's original. I've replaced a number of elements which were OMAP code, with XScale code - taken from the Himalaya, Jasjar, and various ROMs I have had access to. I've also upgraded some applications, and put duplicates of different versions in as well (to determine which is better), and have added other various features, tools, and widgets.
The ROM requires a fair amount of testing now, and the only way I believe this can be done would be to let "everyone" at it and see how it goes. There is a LOT of untested functionality in the ROM, as I don't have access to a number of devices or configurations. So, feedback is definately needed!
There have been a LOT of changes in this ROM, and because of this I'd like to term this ROM as being an ALPHA version. If you have the will and the way, give it a go. I'm finding the performance even better (so far) - but it's only been an hour of testing, and in truth ... I've only managed to test very little of it. 8)
Considerations for this ROM:
All core elements of WM5 are now in the ROM. This includes the previously removed Pocket Powerpoint, Excel, and other files. So, all of the CAB files which I've created specifically for this ROM can be OPTIONALLY installed!
There are now 3 CABs by default in the EXTROM folder:
1). Midlet Manager
2). Arcsoft MMS Composer
3). IA Camera
This means that the ROM should be directly usable in devices without a Camera. If you have such a device, then make sure that you don't install the CAB file (just cancel it)!
If you do have a Camera, you MUST install the Camera AFTER the MMS Installation, as I've chained the two installations together. MMS will install without Camera, and then the Camera CAB will enable the Camera in MMS Composer.
One thing - localization is set to "New Zealand" (since that's where I am), so some of you will need to change this back to your region. (Sorry - it's my ROM after all )
The ROM is in /Uploads/Blue Angel/wm5_test/WM5 BA - TuMa v1.1.zip
Contents: nk.nbf, and the EXTROM folder with CAB files - so, update the operator and Flash away ...
Explore the features, test all of the elements, and let me know if everything is working properly.
All the best of luck with it!
*** D-OH! First Bug ... The "Contacts" SoftKey is wrong ... just open up the SoftKey Control Panel Applet and reset it ... works fine then. Sorry Guys. :-(

Is it possible to put a direct link to the file? I can't really find it...

I get a checksum error using BAUpgrade; MaUpgradeUt doesnt show any rom info. This is what i have always used to fix my roms previously
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -so O2___001 -sl WWE nk.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda3nbftool -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040521
Anything wrong here?
Edit: I was in bootloader mode

Hello efjay, could you help me here? I can't really find the file to download

raymondu999 are you using an FTP client? Thats probably the best way to get it.
Edit: try this link ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/WM5 BA - TuMa v1.1.zip

No actually, I'm only going the ftp://xd[email protected] whatever thing...

Does it work for you? Or is it my computer that's acting funny and not letting me download it?
Actually, nevermind, efjay, it's working for me now. THANKS A LOT!!!! I owe you one!

No problem, pls post if you are able to flash ok. I seem to be stuck.

No problem, willdo. However, don't expect anything too soon... My internet is slow as hell, so I'll be downloading for a looooooooooooong time....

Hi All

Hmmm ... I had this as well when I was building this ROM myself. I think it's because some folders have been specified as "PermDir()", and the shortcuts are being kept.
For anyone experiencing the same problem try this:
(NOTE: This will require a HARD RESET & REBUILD)
1). Run "File Explorer" and goto "My Device"
2). Tap and Hold "My Documents", then select "Delete" and delete everything
3). Tap and Hold "Program Files", then select "Delete" and delete everything
4). goto "Windows"
5). Tap and Hold "Start Menu", then select "Delete" and delete everything
6). Tap and Hold "Startup", then select "Delete" and delete everything
Then HARD RESET your device, select "Format Storage", and "Clear Registry", and the duplicates should be gone.
I think I may have messed something up in the formatting specifications for the Flash Storage device ... i.e. it checks the existing format, and if it's still ok, it keeps all permament items around. This is probably BUG #2. *sigh*
Let me know how you get on ...

Followed steps 1-6 and it looks ok now :lol: will do some more testing tomorrow with gps,phone,sms etc and let you know...
nearly 3am here in uk so time for bed
thanks again

Installed the upgrade, did note the above problem. In step 2) and 5) files exist that prohibit the folder deletion, like PIE in step 5. Not sure why I get a different response than nks. Ended up deleting the duplicate entries in the Start Menu.
This version is much faster, great work.

1) Noticed the Double menu items, can delete some directories.
2) Noticed that the activesync connection does not remain connected. I have to disconnect and reconnect
3) Sound issues with WM Player playing off a SD card remain until the buffer is full (about 1 min into the song)
Will keeping probing for other issues.

Thanks heaps for the feedback!
Right ... I think my reworking of the Flash Storage specification - while improving the performance, has had a few other 'odd' side effects. Probably the SD Card buffering/paging has been affected, and similarly resulting in the double menu items.
As for the ActiveSync disconnect issue - I did have that happen to me just now as well. Very strange though, I simply opened another "explorer" window, and everything came back immediately. Maybe I've changed the timeouts/timing for the usb driver too much.
One really BIG question though - since you're using a SX66, did everything work flawlessly for you with respect to the NON-Camera installation (i.e. just cancelling the CAB install?). Is MMS fully operational and everything else working?
I'll try to have a look into this sometime (very late) tonight after I get my "real" work done now.
Oh ... and on the "bad news" front ... I'm going to be away again for another 2 weeks now - this time in Germany, going to be exhibiting at Cebit - leaving Sunday. *sigh* a bit last minute and unexpected all this.
Hopefully though, I'll have time enough to do some patches or an upgrade to the ROM for anything which is found before that time. So keep testing and letting me know!

Hello Mr. T Great work by the way !!! it really works great, much faster and responsive!! you will be a saint for all us geeks !!!
I have my first bug to report! in hopes of furthering the development.
there is no support (at least for me) for MIDI as ring tone, it does not play. also I get the following error when trying to play in WM "The source filter for this file could not be loaded."
well just happy to report! cheers!!
Great Work!!

another thing, I really believe that the problem with WM5 for BA is the phone side of the ROM I really think that there is an incompatibility issue here. because when I use the device with Radio off, it works perfect! on every issue.

I deleted the Camera CAB and modified the cfg.txt file before copying the files to the EXTROM directory and flashing, same effect as cancelling the CAB install. It installed without error. I tried installing the camera cab on an earlier version with no adverse effects on the SX66, but I prefer not to have it around in the PDA. I like the option to pick and choose what to install.
I'm not a user of MMS right now, so I can't tell there. Pocket MSN works. The activesync connection dropping out does have something to do internet access, connection stays active until an attempt to connect to the internet. MSN and FTP don't appear to use the activesync connection when it is available.
Wifi works, but I can't thru the portal at the hotel I'm at tonight, so I can't do a full test. Don't have my bluetooth adapter with me to check it.
Removed the screen rotate tool from the tray, I prefer the special button 9 on the keyboard for that function.

NOTE: This is very easy to do for anyone else. All 'accessories' are simply loaded in the /Windows/Startup folder, so if you don't want something (like Cyberon Voice Dial, or Screen Rotate, or psShutXP, etc.) you can simply remove it from this directory, or disable it, and it'll no longer run. Similarly, all buttons are now configured as configurable buttons (not hard coded through registry, etc.) This way you can easily customize the device how you like it.
Remember, it's also not using any of your Storage memory for these 'extra' applications - so there's no cost in having or deleting them.
I'll check the board again in a little while ... must get back to work! I might be able to make a v1.1a later tonight, which will hopefully correct some of these initial problems which have been found. (If I find the time ... )

hello all ...
im not try this new ROM but 1 question... ist work to use BA as modem with this ROM ???
thanks in advanced...

TuMa v1.3 - BETA - WM5 ROM - Wizard Ported to BA

Updated to TuMa v1.3 ... all in the quest for perfection!
Apologies for the "fast" update to the previous ROM, but there were a number of things which DID need fixing and improving, especially the filesystem bug, and I believe I've accomplished that now.
All of the bugs and issues which were mentioned in the TuMa v1.1 thread (I believe) have been addressed - except for the BlueTooth disconnect issue. However, I have news directly from mamaich, that he is looking into the BT issue, and will hopefully have a solution soon.
The BIGGEST and BEST news is that my Phone RINGS after 1 RING now!
Although for this to work it is REQUIRED that you use a WAV file for your RingTone. Converting any MP3, WMA, or whatever into a WAV is a simple exercise - but it just uses a LOT of storage space. I've made a new "LoudOldPhone.wav" file, and set it as the default ring in this ROM. Test it out first and let me know your results.
TuMa v1.3 removes the LoudOldPhone.wav, and has all the standard Ring Tones converted to WAV format appropriately, so that ALL default rings will RING the phone quickly.
NOTE: The WAV file RULE applies for all NOTIFICATION sounds as well. Ensure that you choose only WAV files for these elements, and you'll have a snappy Blue Angel!
TuMa v1.2 (Wizard Port) Features:
- Originally based on the Wizard Port by mamaich
- OS and Application extracted from Himalaya, Jasjar, Wizard, and other ROMs
- Core Applications entirely contained in the ROM - Additional CABs not required
- EXTROM is now available again! You can repartition the EXTROM as you wish
- Quantum Timing (Thread Switching) set to 25ms timeslice (performance boost)
- Filesystem Performance improved (maximized), while still retaining reliability
- Notification and Phone Ring Time Improved (MUST USE xxx.WAV FILES!!!)
- Numerous other OS Level Performance Tweaks and Improvements made
- Useful Applications added to Startup Folder (easily disabled)
- So you can easily add whatever you want to this "base" ROM
TuMa v1.3 (Wizard Port) Features:
- Fixed Voice Command Registry Bug. Now you can remap the button as desired without registry hacking.
- Converted all Standard/Default Ring Tones to be WAV files for FAST Ring Times (with maximum volume)
- Fixed the Arcsoft MMS CABs to put the media files into the correct/best folders (avoid Ringtone issues, etc.)
- Fixed the HTC Camera CABs to NOT reset the MMS Manager DLL Entries if a different MMS Manager is used in future
- Added the RamDisk version of the Camera CAB for those who want to use it (must edit your EXTROM)
- Removed the Waterfall.jpg, and Flower.jpg default images, since I ran out of space in the ROM :roll:
- Fixed a Spelling and Versioning mistake in the v1.2 ROM
- Updated the readme.txt in the TuMa v1.3 ZIP file ...
There are presently 3 optional CAB files. During installation you may simply CANCEL the installation of the CAB file, and not have the feature installed.
i.e. Users with a SX66 will NOT want to install the HTC Camera application.
* MidletManager-TuMa.cab - Installs the Java Midlet Manager
* ArcsoftMMS-TuMa.cab - Installs the Arcsoft MMS Composer (NOTE: You must create an account)
* HTC Camera-TuMa.cab - Installs the HTC Camera and updates MMS for Camera operation on device
TuMa v1.3 adds:
* HTC Camera-TuMa-RamDisk.cab - Installs the HTC Camera and updates MMS for Camera operation on "Temp Disk"
Camera users will want to CHOOSE which Camera CAB they use. You can either rename the CAB file to be the same (without the "-RamDisk") or change the "Cfg.txt" configuration file to suit your choice.
I've included FULL installation instructions, and the "BaUpgradeUt.exe" and support files into the ZIP file. Please read the "readme.txt" file for full upgrading instructions. There is a SetOperator.bat file included in the ZIP which will make setting the Operator ID a "piece of cake" now. 8)
The EXTROM files are unchanged from TuMa v1.1 for those who are upgrading to v1.2.
The EXTROM files are different for TuMa v1.3. Use the new ones for best results. 8)
FYI: For anyone providing feedback, I will be leaving for Germany (from New Zealand) on Sunday, so I'll only have until then to respond and/or make any updates/patches or corrections. Hopefully there won't be any!
Most importantly now ... Download from here:
*** Edit: Fixed download locations ... again! ***
Download Tuma v1.3 (recommended)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/TuMa 1.3/WM5 BA - TuMa v1.3 - Release.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Updates/TuMa 1.3/WM5-BA-TuMa.v1.3.rar (Probably just a repackage of the above ???)
All other WM5 ROMs are also located here:

Look around!
That's all ... enjoy the ROM.

This is actually a battery meter! Check out the "Battery Meter" in "Tools", and you can configure it as you wish. It's a very low-low overhead way of having the battery status at a glance. As always, if you don't want it - simply remove the shortcut from the "Startup" folder and it's gone.

When upgrading the ROM, it is VERY STRONGLY recommended (scratch that REQUIRED!!!) that you perform a full HARD RESET of your device, and Clean the Registry, and Format the Storage (read the readme in TuMa v1.2). By not doing so you run the risk of having corrupted registry information, and you will NOT have the benefit of the changes made in this ROM.
It will then run slowly, it will have problems, and it will give random errors nobody else has. In essence, your device will be running a new ROM with old instructions ... not a good look.
So, it's still your choice (I can't hit the buttons for you) ... if you don't do it YMMV. 8)

I luv u Tuatara ! :lol:
But I have question, why don't changing Splash Image??? :?:

Is it still have a color strip when u do hard/soft reset ?
How fast (percent) if u compare with ROM Wizard To BA v2 ?
Thanks

Nice release, Tuatara, can't wait to get home and try it out. WIll do the wiki page too.

I'm using your grea new update but for me the same problems ....
No bt Headest , and no mms.
I've had an hard reset but no cleaning registry ...

Like I said in the post above ... you NEED to clean the Registry (and Format Storage to get the performance increase). If you don't do that, you're running your new ROM on old registry settings, and you end up with something which MAY or MAY NOT work. MMS for example isn't working for you ... other things probably won't as well. Sorry, but it's an excuse to BACKUP everything (not registry!), and then clean out the chaff on your device.
Think about it as if you're upgrading Windows 98 to Windows XP. I can't really think of anything more "evil" ... If you ever did this, you know that you have to pray your machine still boots afterwards.
In other news ... mamaich is HOT on the heels of a BT fix ... PLEASE DO NOT PRESSURE HIM - It will be ready, when it's ready.
Watch this space [ ].

i am having a problem setting the record button to the record function on my sx66. it is consistently the voice speed dial program. i use windows voice command anyhow so i was wondering if you can make the voice speed dial optional unless many people find it absolutely necessary

Camera is installable on "Temp Disk" !!!
For the "cool toys" department ...
mamaich asked me if the additional CAB files could be installed into the "Temp Disk" (RamDisk) instead of into storage, since re-installing those CABs if power is ever lost is trivial. Well, I tried to modify the Arcsoft MMS, and the Midlet Manager - but I was unsuccessful.
However, (comma ... pause for dramatic effect)
The Camera CAN be installed to the Temp Disk, freeing up another 1.5Mb of Storage! This is especially useful for those who don't use MMS, and couldn't care about having Java Midlets running on their device!
Now you CAN have a device with the WHOLE STORAGE SPACE available, including your (now probably miniscule like mine @ 128Kb) EXTROM !!!
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/HTC Camera-TuMa-RamDisk.cab
You CAN install this CAB after uninstalling the original CAB, but you will need to soft reset your device to have the Camera detection & initialization happen properly.
Better yet, you can replace it in your EXTROM (rename the file and/or edit the config file) before doing the TuMa v1.2 upgrade. 8)

Removing Voice Dial ...

Click to expand...

It is (or rather was) entirely optional in the ROM, but it appears that on HARD RESET, the Voice Dial software re-installs itself as the default button handler. *sigh*
This will again need to be added to the Wiki (as before KTamas), but at least it's easier for everyone to do now ...
"Record" button is fixedly mapped to Voice Dial
1). Open up "Regedit" and delete the registry entry "LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand"
2). Open up "File Explorer" and delete the "SD Daemon" link from the "/Windows/Startup" Directory
3). Open up "Buttons" (in Settings), and set your "Record" button
4). Return to the "Today Screen", and use psShutXP to Soft-Reset your device.
Presto ... you now have the "Record" button mapped to ... well ... "Record". 8)

Installation Hints ...
For those of you who could possibly still have a shred of patience, I believe it's quite worthwhile to add a little bit of "waiting time" in, when installing this ROM.
When your device resets from the HARD RESET, and the "Windows Mobile" welcome screen comes up and greets you merrily ... wait a little while until the "Blue LED" (on my iMate) stops blinking on the top left (about 15-20 seconds or so).
Only then continue and configure up your device. You'll notice that the alignment cursor, pages, cut & paste selctions, etc. are all 'lightning quick'.
This is because the OS is still booting, starting applications, and building up the registry information in the background.
So, take a little bit of time, and your device will love you for it. 8)

Tuatara
You did it again the ringtone resolve is just great mine rings about half way through the first ring with a converted mp3.
Did some testing with v1.1 yesterday and was happy with that but this looks even more promising..
oh well back to installing tom tom and all the other junk needed for work :lol:
will report back later and let you know how ive got on..
Thanks Again

Ok ... like with EVERYTHING in this ROM, I've left it up to you (the user) to add (i.e. configure) or remove (i.e. delete from /Windows/Startup) any or all of the elements you do or don't want. In this way the ROM is a BASE for anything you wish to do, without having stuff installed which isn't to your liking. (Ok, barring the Speed Dialer issue, but that's also easily resolvable).
To configure up your MMS Account do the following 13 step process:
1). Check that you have "MMS Configuration ..." available in your Outlook Menu. If you don't then something has seriously gone wrong. Did you install the "ArcsoftMMS-TuMa.cab" file through the EXTROM or manually? If not - do so now. MMS is NOT available in the Base ROM.
2). Click it, and just ensure that it comes up and is active. The about should say "MMS Composer Version 3.0.7.11"
3). Click [ok] and close it.
4). Menu -> Tools -> New Account
5). Enter "[email protected]" as your email (doesn't matter what). Click Next.
6). Detect settings ... wait ... Click Next.
7). Enter a username "mms" will do. Click Next.
8). Select "MMS" as the Account Type. Click Next.
9). Incoming Server = "mms", Outgoing Server = "mms". Click Finish.
10). Finally ... click "NO" to not download mail for this account.
11). Now go back to Menu -> "MMS Configuration ..." -> Servers
12). Edit and modify the "Sample Server" to your required settings ... (which I can't help you with)
13). Presto ... you now have an MMS account.
Hope that gets you up and going ...

NOTE: KTamas ... probably another one for the Wiki ...

Ok, it's there..I just assumed it was the same as previous one, in which i did that procedure, but MMS account type wasn't there. Shame on me

Voice Commands Over Bluetooth Works on TuMa v1.3 - WM5 ROM

I have posted This thread to assist anyone like me, who is not a programming whiz. Got to Install this mainly through trial and error and I am not an expert in this. So If anyone can make my steps easier please do!
This is a Variation Installation For a thread a while back in October 2005 Author Ncruz and effjay. Ncruz Posted a wm5 cab. This cab does not install directly due to permissions. However I have extracted the files using windows cab manager.
First are the files are required in windows. If it asks about permissions copy to PDA root folder then copy with Resco File Explorer and overwrite. Next are the registry files. You can import them with a registry program such as tre or regedit.
If you want Microsoft Voice commands to be the default program overwrite SSDialer.exe in windows folder with Voicecmd.exe from Program files/Voice command/ otherwise Cyberon Voice is initiated when you press headset.
I will post the cab in its entirity although it will not install, incase someone knows an easier method to get voice commands working Please contibute to this thread. However this method worked for me. Below in the zip are the files Extracted with Win Cab manager in zip format so you can copy zip to your pda then extract them to the correct folders, along with the registry files you need to import to registry.
N.B..sound of Voice commands is through PDA and not headset. Pressing headset connect button opens Cyberon or active voice command depending on what you have

Can not seem to be able to import the reg files....

OKay, got the files to import and the files copied - no go for me. Darn-it.

Installation
did you do a soft reset with the software built with the rom and repair the bluetooth headset

I might have reset without using the software reset....
However, got it working with this cab file that I found on my storage card. I even got MS Voice Command to work when I hit my BT Headset button.
Heck, it did not even change the record button to SSDialer! I would have thought it would but it did not. So, I am happy!

glad its working for you

now how can i do?
download odie3 's cab file and install? that's right?
Then, when device auto turn off, bt still go off as before?

I can't download files..... Where can I get them?

The only way I know how to keep BT on is by plugging in my Device to a power source and doing a soft-reset. As long as I do not turn it off with the power button or have it set to auto-power off while plug in, BT will stay on. I do this everytime I get into my car - since it takes me a hour [sometimes more] to get home, so my BT Headset always works.
Hopefully I explained that correctly for you to understand....

Odie
Your query confirmed. The Wlan manager icon from the today screen goes as a side effect of installing the cab. Wifi still works but the Icon in today is not there. Not a big deal for me, as I have skinned my Pda with Wisbar, which has a wifi icon.

Yes it happened to me as well, but i prefer BT Voice Command Activation than WLAN icon
Thanks for the info

BT activation doesn't work for me...
For some reason the activation through BT headset doesn not work for me.
I'm using WM5 TuMa 1.3 ROM.
The BA_WM5_Voice_Dialer_2.cab doesn't install on my device (permission violation), so I copied the files manually to the Windows folder.
The reg files also don't import to my registry when double-clicking, so I made the changes manually.
It still doesn't work.
Now, when I hit the button of my BT headset (Moto HS-810), the standard dialer is activated (instead of the voice command app) and I hear hissing sounds in the headset.
I tried it both with Cyberon and MS apps. Both don't work.
Did anyone encounter this problem? Anyone solved it?
Thanks.

anyone knpow how to do this with voice command on 2003se?

Just upgraded to TuMa 1.3 and have found a MUCH more simple way of doing it.
1) Install Microsoft Voice Command
2) Download Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm)
3) Using Total Commander change the read only tickbox for \windows\sddialer.exe so that there is no tick (1 press just greys it out, i needed to press twice) <- browse to \windows in TC and right cick (hold down) on sddialer.exe, and click properties.
4) (you don't need TC for this) Copy %install dir%\voicecmd.exe (where %install dir% is the directory you installed voice command to) to a temporary location and rename it to sddialer.exe.
5) (using TC) 'Right click' on your new sddialer.exe (previoult voicecmd.exe) and select 'cut to clipboard' then navigate to \windows\ and 'right click' and select 'paste from clipboard', when propted overwrite the origional file.
6) press the button on your headset and test it!
the only thing we need now is for some clever person to work out how to route the voicecmd audio through to the headset instead of the load speaker (to my knowledge it uses the microphone on the headset allready (at least it works when i speak quietly from the next room )

it works like a charm
cheers

Do what Midlet says?
If I do what Midlet says- will I still need the 2 files that mohdwadea has posted? Is Midlet's process a complete stand-alone process... or is if preceded by more steps?

Have not investigated midlets way of installing as Mine is working. However i suggest that if you check your registry and see if the reg keys i posted within the zip are there. If his way works fine, if it does not i suggest you import the keys into registry and see if that helps. I also strongly suggest you make a note of the keys and where they are imported too, as if it does not work you can remove them.

It worked
Mohdwadea,
Your method worked! This time I performed a soft-reset after the installation and also re-connected the headset. I did not have to go he registry-entry route because the cab-file installed on my device.
This will help me a lot on the road in business. God bless you.

Just glad its working for you!

voice not sending
MOHDWADEA,
I am using this fix a lot on the road. It works very well... expect for in one situation! I can initiate voice dialing by the record button on my device and it accepts voice dialing commands through the bluetooth headset and teh call goes fine.
However, if I initiate the voice dialing using the button on my blueooth headset (Cardo Scala 500), it initiates the voice dial app just fine, accepts commands and conencts the call.... but the other party cannot get my outgoing voice through my bluetooth headset, rather it gets the voice from the mic on my phone. Also, the incoming sound can be heard in my bletooth headset but ALSO on the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Wahey!
D/Ling as we speak... will update soon as I flash... (noticed it being added, and waited on ftp for it to finish 8) )
Have you included all the fixes in this (WLAN etc, and does the A2DP work?)

About to flash the rom now; prolly report back in the morning.
Thanks

W_LAN is working for me, so i guess so
I dont have any A2DP hardware but i used the newest dev packages (hence it is so late) so i guess so.

Please help
Hi! First of all I'd like to thank you all for your hard work in bringing new release!
I'm tryingo to update Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_Beta1 to new Midget v1.1 AKU2.3 ROM (PH20B) and upgrader reports Country ID Error 17-17-Vpfdjttl-N-N.
Is there something I'm not doing right?
Thanks!

try adding these files to the upgrade folder, then run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead.

It working well except internet explorer hardware buttom dont work, thanks
its working see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=322787&highlight=#322787

Thanks Midget_1990 That helped! Upgrading new image right now!

Flash went well, speed seems good, but a couple of issues...
Extended ROM - didn't Autorun (no great shakes just ran the Autorun file manually)
Camera - Image is rotated 90degrees CCW
Oh, and as usual, no Wireless Stereo profile (option is there when adding device, but not available as profile )
I can live with these though, no major issues, and I'm going to hammer it tomorrow to see how it copes under pressure

Flash went well! But for some reason Start pull down menu as well as pull down boxes or scrolling window is taking extremely long time to react. For example time between clicking on "Start" and seeing the menu may take 10-20 seconds.... Does anybody seeing this issue?

Just a thought... did you clear the Registry Hive and Format the Storage before you flashed?

start menu
have same issue......start menu takes forever. changed the notification settings and start menu pops much quicker.
registry hive and stotage were formated

A2DP issue is still there. While paring the device the option is there, but when you want to select the stereo profile, there is no option to do so.
The difference is that before, while paring the device it showed 2 services available:
Hands Free
Wireless Stereo.
Now it shows 3 options:
Hands Free
Wireless Stereo
Headset.
I have not experienced any other issues, exept for the buttons (you know, the IE and the mail buttons)(EDIT: all buttons are working ok now, I just assigned them other programs and then set them back to default and all was good) and also the camera bug.
Other than that, this is an AWESOME ROM!
If anyone could let me know if they have any ideas on the A2DP thing, that would be perfect

Did a few tests:
Bluetooth: Paired up with Motorola HS810, was able to make and receive calls handsfree.
Wireless: Got it enabled; once EXT_ROM installed, but was unable to locate any networks, whereas every other WM5 rom finds the 3 networks in range of my house straight away, will retest in the morning.
Phone: Ringing, vibrate seem to work okay, will try a longer call test tomorrow.
Button Lock: All working fine.
Quirks(Pedantic as well as showstoppers):
Error reporting is enabled by default
When paired, if you turn off the phone by the power button, it immediately turns back on, turning off again seems to work, but need a longer test to watch for random powerups
No Windows Media Player in Programs, only in Start Menu
Windows Media Player stutters on start of first playback of MP3
No Wifi in Comm manager, prolly a known issue
Brightness slider does absolutely sweet F.A
Responsiveness & Comments:
A bit on the slow side in comparison to AKU2.3_TEST_PATCHED_2 I tested earlier today. But this is to be expected in the absence of any tweaks or RAMDISK.
A great start, but you may want to change your release labelling to include ALPHA, BETA status, because the (ie, my) expectation with a 1.1 release is for it to have been fully tested first. Dunno if others feel the same.
Also it may be a good idea for the community to come up with a bunch of "UNIT TESTS" for each new rom that comes out, to make sure that no Rom goes backwards in functionality before release.
All in all great work Midget and all others who contributed, PM me if you need any roms testing.

PH20B2
My PDA is VPA III with PH20B2!
Can use which ROM?

Midget.. can you post up the SAP for your ROM?

Camera - Image is rotated 90degrees CCW
wierd, work perfectly for me

Start pull down menu as well as pull down boxes or scrolling window is taking extremely long time to react. For example time between clicking on "Start" and seeing the menu may take 10-20 seconds.... Does anybody seeing this issue?

Oh, and as usual, no Wireless Stereo profile (option is there when adding device, but not available as profile Sad )

the absence of any tweaks or RAMDISK.
tweaks are there, ramdisk is coming soon.
My PDA is VPA III with PH20B2!
if you have a camera use the PH20B rom if not use the PH20B1 rom. whichever one you use edit set operator.bat so that all PH20B/PH20B1 are changed to PH20B2
Midget.. can you post up the SAP for your ROM?
It's the uni + wizard one from the main thread with a few modification so it works better.

Hi Midget_1990,
Disabling all of the sound notifications made my device at least 1000% more responsive... Now pull down Start menu pop-down almost immediately! I believe the problem is somehow sound notification related.... Just my thoughts thou... I'll do more testing, will let you know if find anything

i dont know why that happens for you, my startmenu etc is instant with or without the sound notification, no noticable difference :?:

Same problem here. With sound and notifications, SX66 CRAWLS. turn off sound, flys!!!!
BTW, Many thanks for all your hard work. It is greatly appreciated!!

PLAzmA's Sliding Sound Pack for TYTN II (Kaiser)

** UPDATED **
PLAzmA's Sliding Sound Pack for TYTN II (Kaiser) and windows mobile phones with slide out keyboards
*Note: only use the NUMBERED CAB files to install if you are using a TYTN II Phone or if you have the standard HTC Sliding sound system built into your rom. If however on phones like the HTC Wizard where no sliding sound is currently present, install the SlidingSound.cab file, and then launch the program and assign the files manually. The Numbered CAB files will not work for the older phone method.
List Of WAV FILES USED:
0 : Wind Chimes
1 : Piano
2 : Xylophone
3 : Futurama Bender
4 : Might Boosh
5 : Startrek TOS
6 : Dalek
7 : Cash Register
8 : Electricity
9 : Electric Motor
10: Hal 2001
11: POP
METHOD 1: TO INSTALL NEW HTC PHONES LIKE KAISER BY CAB FILES:
This is really easy pick one of the numbered install files from "Kaiser - Modern Phones CAB Install Files.rar", you can either install the complete pack or just one of the sounds, however as it must have a constant number sequence in the registry, its programmed to replace the 3 base sounds in every pack. This is to ensure that the pack works correctly despite possible older mods. This means if you remove a pack it will also take the 3 base sounds with it, however at any time you want to go back run the htc base sounds pack, make sure you first uninstall the previous pack completely and the run the base pack install cab.
*Note: above numbered cab method only for newer phones with htc slide service like the kaiser, DONOT install onto older phones like wizard as this will not work see the next method.
METHOD 2: TO INSTALL BY ADD ON SLIDINGSOUND.CAB METHOD TO OLDER PHONES:
Install cab file and run sliding sound program, turn on slide detect service and assign wav files manually, refer to the list above for the appropriate numbers, there are two files to select from a simple "SlideSound.cab" file which just has a basic pop noise, additional sounds will need to be install manually, or to install the program and sounds all in one go, install the "SlideSound - All Sounds.cab"
*Note: above cab method is only for phones without the htc sliding sounds program built into your rom and only required on older phones like the herms, wizard etc..

Funny. I installed the Startrek Communicator sound alone. Real nice.

Rapidshare link down???

Hi:
Thanks for posting this!
Sorry for the dumb question. Do I copy just the wav files to Windows, or the reg files also? If not, where do I need to place the reg files (I want to install all sounds)? I placed the All Sounds file in My Documents, and clicked on it, it opened reg editor, but did not seem to apply changes, as they are still not visible under sliding sounds.
Thanks so much for the help.

when i try to open the all sliding sounds.reg i get the message "The specified file is not a registry script" please advise

To import registry file you need phm reg edit.
PHM Registry Editor
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Try installing this and then open the file again

Hi Plazma:
I do have PHM Reg Editor.
I copied the all sounds file to my documents, and clicked on it, which did open PHM reg editor, but it didn't seem to make any changes. The sliding sounds are still not visible in settings etc. I have soft reset etc. and I still do not see the new sounds. Should they be visible in the standard sliding sound settings?
Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Do I maybe need to have all the reg files on phone, or is it enough to use all sounds only?
Thanks again!

Check new install

Worked Perfectly!
Thanks so much, I was VERY sick of the piano sound

hi all,
Any chance of uploading it elsewhere other than rapishare or megaupload? Preferably mediafire or yourfilehost? Thanks ya!

Uninstall?
I have uninstalled this after I tried to make it work on my X1 (but failed) using the second option, and I am presented with an error at startup that it could not find slidesound.exe. I have checked the registry and cannot find anything in there. Any ideas??
Thanks

Worked fantastically on my Tilt 2. I love the Dalek one
