Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.2 Beta)
In this second minor update currently progress is:
- Mamaich Paging Pool patch 16mb/32mb
- Modem link added to ROM with bt set at COM6.
- Audiogateway Registry Fix
- Wifi & Bluetooth Coexistentcy.
- Ability to save everywhere with Pocket Excel
- Smart Dial v2.2 is added to ROM. (if u dont use it just disable it)
- Flight Mode, Task Manager, WM5 New Menu, WM5 Storage, & USB Mode Switch added to extras folder.
- StartUp Manager by baniaczek
- Use ace_ddi as video driver (Landscape & Portrait fully supported but gif file wont show in PIE, use D3D_Driver driver to support gif with PIE but Landscape mode will need to re-align after soft reset)
- .NET Fix included
- Transcriber included.
In this beta, hv all the feature from v1.2 plus new OS built (AKU3.2 OS part taken from Lt.Cmdr.Ivan AKU3.2 for UNI with help by indra9110) and speed improvement and also new ROM base (5.04.06 taken from logout template since its newer version display).
Known issues:
1. There no internal integration beetween Comm Manager and Wifi, cos Different Driver beetween Wizard & BA (I've succesfully combine them in the past but forgot now how to do it again...and i still cant remember it...hell!!!..lol). I think I'll love someone who help on this.
2. When BT On, IR On, WIFI On, ActiveSync On, the tray might flick.
3. Some help file and Some Picture/images has been strip out from the ROM to create space for more usefull app.
Tips:
1. Disable Sound (Sound & Notification >> Events) might help system speed.
2. Disable Sound in phone (Phone Settings >> Keypad >> Off) might help phone speed.
3. Backup/Sync ur PIM with active sync first (Contact, email, etc) if u upgrade it from old rom (anything below AKU3.0 ROM) cos PIM management are different from the old rom ur old backup will not work, but ActiveSync will work Ok.
Please read the readme file, I dont hv time to update Wiki page, but I'll love if someone do the wiki page for me. btw I think the information in Readme file is enough to flash ur rom and since no 'real' extended rom so no further preparation is needed, but u might consider to make ur old Extended_ROM size to 128kb to make more storage space for ur device.
WIKI page is provided by Fraser (thanks man! it really help alot) here the wiki page:

Note on MMS configuration, since it was from the wm2003 u should set the MMS. to go into MMS config and select ur operator MMS on the Connect Via selection. Messaging >> MMS Configuration >> Server >> Connect Via >> your operator MMS account
If ur operator not in the list just delete all file in OPERATOR folder, cos the MMS_ENABLE.CAB already build a standar changeable MMS account.
With the Global Contacts Access plugin from Microsoft U can use the central/global exchangeserver address book. (Thanks to xdaradar for the info)

helmi
Many thanks helmi!!! ... can't wait to flash the new rom
Thanks our Gods(helmi_c & Mamaich)
hi all
Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question but i read all of the time about not restoring a full backup when upgrading a rom but above it says restoring if lower than AKU3.0 will cause problems.
I have 1.3 installed and would love to upgrade to this latest beta but the thought of reinstalling everything again is putting me off.
Is it possible to be able to upgrade the rom and use a backup from my 1.3 machine (either from spb Backup or the built in backup)
thanks in advance
I have succesfully restored all my programs using the rom-upgrade tool by Sprite, which can be used with sprite backup 5. Please note that you should exclude your PIM databases, as they will be different. But you can of course always sync these back from outlook via activesync. This will always work.
Helmi-
Thanks for the great roms. I'm currently using 1.3 with an 8MB page file...No real need for me to change, since i just spent a long time yesterday doing the whole install/reinstall/customize thing.
What I would switch for, and you talked about it before, is a new version of the AKU2.3 build. I much prefer MS Voice Command and there isn't too much need for 3.2 as of yet (not many applications for it...)
Are you still working on something like that?
THanks again!
32 pool + 16 ramdisk works fantastic. BT, WiFi, Media, Camera, iGo GPS flies, phone on first ring.
Thanks Guru Mamaich :idea:
Thanks Master Helmi 8)
AG registry fix
"Audiogateway Registry Fix"
What is this fix exactly?
Thanks Helmi.
32MB paging pool and 16 MB Ramdisk is my choice.
Hi Helmi
in 32 MB paging pool and RAMdisk 16 MB version.
The RAM should be 77 MB , but it is exactly only 61 MB.
I think 16 MB RAM is hidden somewhere.
But all works fine ,It's great.
Thanks.
.
...
incredible speed!
but I have a problem with SmartX, when i try to configure it show the error "SmartX service not activate". And I cannot activate it, because the check is disable and i cannot tap on it.
This one is really fast!
Even the IE is fast!
Great, thanks! Keep up the good work.
Nothing new, practically... Yes, except the mem.pool size, but thats a thing everyone can do
My personal benchmark
This is realy great :!: I think we now have the WM5 features on our BA with better then WM2003 speed.
Since Helmi'c 1.2 version i keep track of the tomtom startup time after initial flash, app's install and configuring.
on 1.2 : over 30 seconds
on 1.3 : about 18 seconds
on 1.3.2: about 9 seconds 8)
on 1.2 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3.2 with PHM overclocking: 8 secs
Best speed ever!
I confirm that memory available for programs is only 61 MB, instead of 77MB.
back on the 1.3.1 thread, I posted my suggestions to map the Hardware buttons with the 'mail' icon to left softkey, and the one with the IE icon to right softkey. I think someone replied me, but looks like I have been misunderstood. I do NOT mean to change the functions associated to the softkeys, I want to MAP the HW keys to them.
I know how to do it, but it would be good if they were already set up like this out of the box.
And having the backlight NOT turn off while on external power.
Kudos to Helmi and Mamaich! I guess we will see 1.3.2a or 1.3.3 soon, because of these missing 16MB...
Some ideas, my opinions

Some people would like that - some wouldn't. Some will think the change would go too far, some people will be confused, asking about what happened etc.
But really, if someone got used to that setting he uses , regardless of out-of-the-box status, he uses his own setting.
I mapped the softkeys to HW buttons, becouse HW shortcuts to PIE and Messages are unuseful for me. With softkeys mapped like that, it is possible to use BA w/o stylus and using just one hand in most cases. I don't need to touch the screen with my fingers, to use softkey.
Good idea.

There are people charging their PDA's over night, Having light on could be disturbing and w/o any sence. I keep it off.
Bad idea.
Nice ideas overall.

hmm... If we use 32mb Page pool version it should 61mb left, for 16mb page pool it will 77mb...
about hardkey, I think it whould be wiser to make it standar Joe, to avoid confusion among user, cos it so cuztomize..
and about backlight, maybe some AddOn/Patch? I'll try to learn about it.
currently I'm workin on AKU2.6 as a replacement for my old AKU2.3 as so many user complain about compability issues with some app (MS Voice Command for example) currently not workin is sms with this aku2.6 rom after that I'll go back to aku3.2 :wink:
Got hold of version 1.32 of Helmi's rom. Here's my boot time right after installing of rom, without any other software I normally install myself.
1. Paging 32MB and Ramdisk 16MB - 36 seconds
2. Paging 16MB and Ramdisk 32MB - 35 seconds
I decided to stick with 2.
Overall, what I can say is that it's very fast now. I use to need to wait for tmail.exe to open but now, it opens instantly.
I'm very happy with the speed now. I can basically leave with this now. Cheers to Helmi and to the guy who found out about the paging size.

Hi Helmi,
I quite like 1.32 rom (AKU 3.2) with the paging size upgrade, except like others, is still missing MS Voice Command. You mentioned about AKU 2.6 rom, other than giving back MS Voice Command, what are the differences from 1.32 rom? Can the paging size be increased like the current 1.32 rom?
Thanks.

AKU26
Helmi very thanks for that release, iam going to flash imediatly. Sorry for the pm about the direct link, i was just to quick in answering. Posting my experience tomorrow.

I'm using SPB Backup as my default backup program. What's happen when I use a PIM backup of AKU 3.2 to restore in my downgraded AKU 2.6? Do I need to sync my PIM data with M$ Outlook b4 downgrade?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
hmm... I can't be sure, but learn by old AKU2.3 experience, the pim data is modify in AKU3 so i think its better to sync first. then u can try if it work or not bro.
The AKU 3.2 has a 'Bluetooth hardware error' error, thus I'll propably downgrade to 2.6 :/
it's possible to flash this rom without hard reset?
I have Helmi Aku 1.3.2 beta but I have some problems with phone and WiFi.
Nope, its not possible :/
Man, I just upgraded 2 days ago from WM2003SE to AK3.2 v1.3.1.
Now, I see AK3.2 v1.3.2 & AK2.6
Wonder which one should I try. I do miss using Voice Command, but I know I have TT6 working on 1.3.1 nicely.
Hmm..... :roll:
2 question:
1) Anyone got a .cab for Canada Rogers&AT&T GPRS setting? Can this be included in the future for Operator list?
2) With AK2.6 or AK3.2 v1.3.2, do I still need to modify at address 0437072 of nk.nba from (00 00 20 00) to (00 00 80 00), or is that done already? I did that for 1.3.1, or would that actually made it slower?

that would actually make it slower you'll be lowering the paging pool from 16MB to 8MB.

there's no need to apply Paging Pool with both rom (1.3.2 & 1.1.2).
Wow, just upgraded to 1.32 AKU 3.2 with 16mb paging file size yesterday and now AKU 2.6 with 16mb paging file size is ready.
No time to try this out. Maybe next week.
Anyway, 1.32 AKU 3.2 is works very fast for me now, everything ok except for no M$ Voice Command.
Hope to hear from the rest of you on the results of this new upgraded rom.
Hi,
couldn't wait to test that release. My first try on WM5 was helmis AKU32 v13, which runned smoothly after applying the poolsize patch. But my most valuable thing, MS Voice Command, didnt run on that AKU since PIM Database format changed. Then tried AKU23 from Helmi wich worked acceptable with some problems and Voice Command worked well. As AKU26 with all fixes from AKU32 was here I gave it an instant try and yes that was it.
Haven't found any problems/bugs playing around yesterday night, that helmi dont know allready. Voice Command works fine, which is the most important thing for me. I have the feeling that ActiveSync is much more stable than in AKU23 or 32. Cradle in/out again and again and no errors on my desktop. I got the Microsoft GPS Multiplexer running, didnt work for me in AKU32 or AKU23 from helmi
Helmi I could kiss your ass for that release!
EDIT:
Minor Problems: Playing an MP3 from SD-Card and suspend/turn on again hangs the Shell, RNDIS doesnt detect when removed from cradle (IP Adress is still up), turn on and off resets that behaviour.

What about turning on bluetooth and wifi and flightmode? Does it work all the time?

Well, i tested it for you. Using the Systrayicons of Bluetooth and WLAN has worked turning booth on and off. Using Comm Manager it only works well if you turn BT and WLAN on and off via systray once after a soft reset. If you don't do that Comm Manager will make trouble. Flightmode works only to disable the phone, enableing it again didnt work for me (tested twice). But Flightmode.exe was able to turn on the phone again after some seconds.
Bluetooth does not disble when device suspends and WLAN disables when device suspends and reanables if you resume, that the normal behaviour of my last WM2003. Im going to check GPRS later the day.
TomTom5 boots up in around 8/9 seconds with "Deutschland-Map"
EDIT: GPRS short connect test works, no Connect link in the GPRS Ballontip, but when you open a URL it begins the connection. I had to change the Search GPRS an Connection to Search GPRS on Radiostartup to get it connect successful.
By that i realised that after i swaped my SIM Cards, the first Bootup show R: NONE G: NONE, and Radiomodul doesnt work. After one Softreset everythings fine again.
TomTom6 boots up in 10 sec (tested with North America maps)
But closing TT6 does not disable bluetooth connection (AK3.2 v1.3.1 does it)
What about sms backup from Helmi's 1.32 rom using Spb backup, can it be restored to this rom?
Have anyone of you tested it?
Thanks.
my system backup via spb backup yielded errors. i had to reinstall all my apps.
i opted to go back (or forward?) to 1.3.2. had problems with messaging, worldmate pro, hanging, speed (doesn't feel like it's with a 16mb paging pool).
Anyone have a solution or tip for that?
With Helmi AKU32 v13 installed my display did not turn on when I received a sms (device suspended), but played sound and showed notification (after manually turning on display)
This "feature" is missing in this AKU26 release, what have I to do to restore this behavior? I searched the forum but could't find answers to that. I guess it must be a notification option or something in power settings?
Thanks in advance.
With this greatest rom when I receive an sms my pda plays only the sound and the screen doesn't turn on.. until I press power button.

I'm facing the same thing, i.e. with incoming sms, led flashes red, pda plays sound and screen doesn't turn on, until power button is pressed.
Maybe this behaviour is good because at times, I don't realise an sms had been received and the screen is turned on, and programs on the pda are started without me knowing.
Cheers!
This is a beta rom so it will contain a lots of bugs!
This is a clean rom and not contain any extra apps

First big thanks to mamaich for his excellent romediting tools, thanks to bepe for the original idea of cooking roms through romkitchen, thanks to itsme for hes brilliant perl scripts and the help he provided me, also bigger thanks to Helmi_c who helped me a lot and continiues to help me (thanks bro without your help I would never create such rom), thanks also to indra9110 for providing me these nice icons, and the last but not least thanks to www.xda-developers.com comunity, it helped me learn everything i know about PDA-Phone devices!
EDIT MDAIIIUser
I have moved the files to a safe place (and changed the links)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Shipped_Extracted_Updates/xplode
I Will test now!
Installed and running without major problems, good for testing. I have not added any cabs as off yet. Great work xplode.
AKU 3.5
wow...
another new rom..
already have downloaded the files..
will try later..
great work xplode!!!! =)
Must we apply the cabs in the Fixes folder in the FTP?
Do you know how to make convertion from your rom to Himalaya?
I v flashed but stoped on 4 colors screen.
I tried again, it's ok now.
I've just updated to this ROM from Helmi AKU3.2 v1.3.2 and very impressive. I like the sounds.
Have tested the WLAN. I noticed that under "Wireless Lan", the signal strength bar isn't working. It is blank. The default taskbar signal strength works though.
Will be trying the Bluetooth with my Holux236 GPS after this.
*edit* - Now I can't seem to turn my WIFI on. Will investigate if it is caused by the cabs I installed from the Cabs folder on Ftp.
WLAN... solved.
Ok, on first time device on, to turn on WIFI, you need to go to Wireless LAN to turn on WIFI first. After that, you can start using CommManager to control WIFI on/off.
If you leave WIFI on during soft reset, your wifi will be on after soft reset and you can still use CommManager to control WIFI on/off.
But, if you leave WIFI off during soft reset, then you can't turn WIFI on anymore whether via Wireless LAN switch or CommManager switch regardless how many soft resets.
Anyone can confirm this? Or rather provide a solution? Did I miss out something?
*edit* - Nevermind.. haha. It is working now somehow but my device is on fresh hard reset.
I can't seem to get Wireless Stereo/A2DP to work. I've checked the obvious entries in the registry and the dll files, no joy.
cant wait to test
downloading....thank you very much.
Has anyone managed to make Smart Dial v2.2 work?

Yeah, thats right man. Its the right trick to get WIFI worked without having to SR the device. My experience told me that It would take 2 times turning on WIFI on the Wireless Lan settings, then go ahead to the CommManager. It will definitely work, at least in my situation.
I've noticed two thingys,
1. When connected to GPRS the little 'G' doesn't show up.
2. What happened to the newer version media player that was in AKU 3.3
There was no newer version of WM it was skin which have problems with video playback, the picture was shifted
WLAN - as you all know since we first seen Comm manager WLAN is turning on by Wireless Manager and then you can control it trough Comm Manager
About A2DP i have not compatible headset to test it i have mono one
There is no need to install fixes for this rom, you can try only those which removes comm manager icon and screen rotate icon from tray
I've installed quite anumber of basic apps:
SBSH Ilauncher
Pocket Informant
Pocket Music (Freeversion)
PhoneAlarm
Garmin Que
GPSGate
SPB Diary
Resco File Explorer
TCPMP
They all work fine up to now. The only thing that doesnt work is Smart Dialing which i miss so much. Out of curiousity, how do you guys usually do away without Smart Dial? I feel that opening the Contacts page is time consuming and inefficient. Not suitable for driving. Any easier way?
New version of WM 6.1 uploaded June 14 09
I havn't had any real internet connection for months so I couldn't get eny new build's for some time.
I also am without work so I can't aford getting an proper internet connection so my updates wan't be often as the only internet I have most of the time is GPRS.
anyway here you have a WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 rom with phone working thanks to Cmonex
the WM6.5 is mostly just a test and mighty not be good for day to day usage yet because of the memory usage of WM6.5 only around 10 mb free ram.
I do think I can make some changes to the better so the 6.5 rom can become more useable because wm 6.5 is running nice and fast on shift and it's also the rom I will like to continu working on for my personal use
in the next week or 2 I'll gather as much info from you so when I get back here (Parents hous only place I can have good internet) in 2 weeks I'll hopefully have a better rom for you and all bugs might be ironed out

Bugs:
Bouth roms
no icon in taskbar for conection status eg. E or G
WM 6.1 only
WM 6.5 only
ActiveSync icon in Connection folder does nothing (Restarting you device should fix it reported by shaytaan)
Thanks a million.
Coiuld you tell us in your #1 posting if it's snapvue enabled, and which programs are installed on both versions ?
I'm going to install your WM6.5 first, and will send any bigs found in the 6.1 (as 6.5 is more or less just for play)

I'll update post 1 later tonight when my son has falen asleep
snapvue today plug is in the wm 6.1 if thats what you meen
wm 6.5 has a customiced titanium
The 6.5 ROM has no ActiveSYnc possibility. The icon fails to launch.
"the file MSSYNCAPP" cannot be opened, not trusted, or components not found..."
Flashing 6,1 now
Tip : Forget the SIM autoconfigure, it will save some space.
CDMA ROM needed
Any chance of making this work on the CDMA Shift ??? I am not sure why, but I am stuck in the bootloader despite a hard reset. The only rom that installs properly is the one that left me in this fix. Any CDMA folks out there, or someone with a GSM rom that knows what is needed to switch it to a CDMA compatible version ?
Just installed v6.5, and IT IS FANTASTIC
I like it very much, thanks alot gullum
<lucid> ActiveSYnc works, you have to restart your device
In the 6.1 ROM, the TASKS icon fails to launch, even after a soft reset,
thanks for the update on activesync on 6.5 version.
As I need GPS to be duplexed to to Vista, I recommend putting GPS2Blue in, but you have to ask the authors of that program, like ThaiHugo did.
For the WM 6.5 rom, the home screen font's is a little big. I tried setting it smaller via screen, text size but won't work.
All in all good to see your ROM's. Let's hope one of these days the secret comes out on SD access.
Does the ROM work with headset and mic to talk into or is it still speakerphone only..
Thanks
how come i cant build os of your rom?you deleted the packges files?
i cant seem to connect to the internet using snapvue but the phone function works. am i missing something?
Can someone host these on rapidshare? If they're hosted once, I'll host them on my account as well to get more links for them up. I'm unable to open mediafire.com from China. All the help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Caid.

It works fine.
I installed 6.5 last night. It works fine for me!
Looks EXCELLENT Gullum!
If you have any internet troubles, check your ISP/WAP settings
My ATT added 2 sets of settings, one incorrect, one half correct (so both wrong, but an easy fix by changing the Username)
Some questions:
Is there a way to add to the "Quick Links" to edit the program list?
Also, Is the Network Folder via Connections available in ROM or should we add it manually? (The one in Age of Reason is simple to use)
Also, as far as hosting, I have a server with unlimited bandwidth (just limited storage of 60 GB) that I can host some files as a straight download if that helps in anyway, jus PM me and I can give you access to upload to it.

Everything works great on wm 6.5 using window 7 rc
Can't make acivesync to work. Have tried restarting snapview several times but still get the "the file MSSYNCAPP" cannot be opened, not trusted, or components not found"
thank you very much
I'm getting very slow input (hardware buttons, touchscreen) with my HTC tytn II
some data:
windows mobile 6.1
ROM 1.34.831.1 WWE (05/02/08)
radio 1.65.20.29
in use program memory: 48 MBs (total 85 MBs)
no program show high CPU usage when I run task manager... the biggers memory uses are filesys.exe, device.exe and gwes.exe
I don't remember which ROM I'm running, but I'm pretty sure it's L26 v3
do you think I should upgrade it or is there something else I can do to try to solve this problem? (I really don't need any new features that new ROM may have, as long as it gets faster)
thanks
