Thanks for your hard work!

A2DP Issue
With regards to the above, I have posted the differences I found between TuMa 1.4 and this ROM here...
It seems that although everything is present, the BtA2dpSnd.dll isn't being activated and so the functionality, although offered when pairing a device, isn't available as a profile, I'm at work all day (bummer ) and won't be able to work on it this weekend due to family commitments, but if anyone else (Tuatara ) could look at this it would be great!

hey spkr4thdd
u r too worried about your ad2p thing too much. it will come around.
btw, great work Helmi, thanks
imatrix

im having problems synchronizing w/ an exchange server, i receive an error:
"Security certificate on the server is invalid."

Hi
What speed tweaks are you using? Can you share'em?

@ helmi_c
Moved your rom to a safe place and corrected link.
Please update wiki WM5 page with your rom.

IMAP4 Account gone after changing Battery
The captioned problem is encountered in both Tuma 1.4 and Helmi 1.0 ROM. Am I the only victim?
Cheers, thanks all for your tremendous effort in compiling the WM5 ROMs!

I think it is a known problem with all WM5 ROMs at least on BA (disappearing e-mail accounts if battery removed).

On first boot after replacing the battery you should immediately soft-reset with the reset hole when you see "R None" displayed. That should prevent your email accounts from disappearing. As KTamas said this happens with all BA WM5 roms i've used (Tuma 1.3, Himalaya port and original WM5 beta rom)
One question, due to my work schedule I cant flash till the weekend. Do AKU 2 functions like push email work? Havent seen this mentioned so far.

IMAP4 account on WM5
Speaking of the devil, I have seen the same stupid situation on a brand new HP iPaq rw6828 once. Together with VGSMail, the push mail functions quite OK on the BA Tuma1.4 Beta except the frequent popping up of Repollog errors. Too bad if we need to take extra precautions in changing battery! Is there any cure at all?

One question, due to my work schedule I cant flash till the weekend. Do AKU 2 functions like push email work? Havent seen this mentioned so far.

Certainly does - I have push email working with this ROM over GPRS.
Made my day that did Huge thanks to Bepe, Helmi and everyone else for the work on this - finally a WM5 ROM that I can *use*
If there's enough demand I'll document what I did - though the vast majority of the work is configuring Exchange and OWA itself, very little to do on the device.

Thanks for that forza, thats good to know. Only thing left for me would be A2DP and im set. Hopefully will be able to flash this weekend.

Which is which???
Hi there,
First of all, thanks for the great work! It is really a nice ROM . Just need to find out something. I downloaded the "Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_32mb_v1.rar" file, thinking that it should give me 32 MB of RAM Disk. But after I install it, it shows 64MB of RAM disk. Can anyone tell me which one is the file that create 32 MB of RAM disk? Thanks...

Trust me, I'm working on it, unfortunately I have a monstrous amount of family commitments this weekend... so it might not be for a couple of days... it's the one thing left I want fixed, I don't use Pocket MSN anyway (prefer IM+ and FlexMail)

Tray Icons...
One thing I'd like to do is get rid of the BT Icon in the tray, remove the Comm Manager Today Plugin and get it in the tray instead, I know it's possible as the Universal and other newer PDA's have it there...
Does anyone know the reg entry to enable this? I've tried a couple of random ones but can't seem to get it working...
If all else fails I'll get a mate over with his Uni and dump his Registry

its not a reg entry, its an exe if i find it ill post it.
removing the tray apps is just a case of removing thier shortcuts in \windows\startup
and the com manager on today screen go to start>settings>personal>today>items and uncheck 'wireless'

I know that, I've removed the today plugin and tray icons I don't want, just need the exe for the comm mgr for try icon...

I'm not sure what the other files in this package are for. For example, do I need to run the \Preparation\ExtROM Unlocker - WM2003SE\xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB file before I flash the ROM and do I need to use the DOC repartitioning tool?
And what should be done with the files in the Extended_ROM directory?
Thanks.

AKU3.0 TEST

Hi again,
I've been battering away at this for a few days now, ever since finding some files while browsing around for AKU3.0 progress.
I won't say where I found them as I just kinda took them without them being advertised or offered.
The ROM has 32mb ramdisk, and a small collection of BIG known bugs :-
- Wifi does not work at all
- camera is rotated and generally wrong
- video recording does not work at all
(I seem to be missing "capture.dll", and possibly ceperf.dll?)
On the happier side, the following nice features of this ROM do work :-
- Pocket MSN
- ActiveStink
- Fixed WMPlayer stutter bug (wavedev prio set to "8")
- Built in totalcommander, regedit, taskmgr and HTC backup
- Really nice screen rotate that doesn't lock the device for 10 secs
- Better welcome procedure with email setup
- word to the wise - buttonlock is in Buttons->3rd tab(lock)
Bluetooth switches on and off, and it flashes the light. I have nothing to connect it to, so some detailed feedback on this would be handy.
Midget/Helmi/Bepe/Other regular ROM releasers - PM me and I'll share anything you think might help. Anyone with help on the Wifi/camera issues do PM me.
Anyhoo - here's the ROM.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blue Angel/AKU_3.0_TEST1.rar

wifi does work.. at least I can enable it with wlan_man.exe

1.My BA has got no sound with this ROMs.
2.Start Menu is still delayed without "Sound and notification" tweak.
3.Cannot turn-off BlueTooth.

Have fun!
almost identical to my aku2.3 32mb v1.1
xcpuscalar installed with 400-530 auto cpu scale
hand full of utils
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Black6spdZ_BA_WM5_AKU_3_32mb_v1.rar
has a simple app that works to enable wifi.. so at least that can be used.. BT seemed to enable and disable no prob.. video seems to work ok now, have my standard SAP I used on the 2.3 roms so you'll see the same apps.. camera isn't working..

thank guys,
Black6spdZ, can u plz give us more info on your rom. like if u have incorporated overclocking features there, and both up and down sides. thanks.
imatrix

yes, it is almost identical to the aku2.3 32mb v1.1 I posted in the aku2.3 thread

!! Yes Sir !!
Install smoothly, setup quick, get into OS bit of freezing all around, soft reset, I dig windows direct push
this will be sweet with you guys cooking it up. Here comes the cavalry! :twisted:

SPB PocketPlus
I seem to have a problem installing SPB pocketplus under this ROM. Anyone having a similar problem?

This problem seems to be happening for software that has a Today plugin like Resco, Pocket Weather, etc.
Hope it's not a big problem to fix as this ROM seems great! Thanks.

MicMeo - how on earth have you managed to end up with no sound?
The only thing I can think of is not formatting the device after flash, but it seems unlikely that you of all people would forget that.
To my knowledge the only current bugs are those in the first post (I'm unable to replicate the events/notification slowdown) - and the today plugin problem.
I'll test out SPB/resco tonight and see if I can find the source of it.
From my point of view the rom runs as a phone and PIM perfectly. Camera and Wifi will be fixed as I get the driver package more robust.
I've yet to test Helmi's ROM, but from the descriptions so far it seems like a tour de force (with the exception of some lingering certificate issues).
--------------EDIT----------------
I've just taken a look at Helmi's ROM.
Forget my ROM - it's rubbish.
Helmi has released by far the best WM5 ROM yet made for BA. It is really professional quality. In fact I'm shocked at how good it is.
Congrats Helmi.

Nice wm2005 Rom
I installed this rom today. Its very nice and it runs very smoothly. I think it's on of the fastest roms out there(and i tryed them all). Only bug i found that with pocket word you can not open new files.... it gives an error of some sort. The rest is working perfectly up till now.
Nice work. Hope you also fix the a2dp profile bug. cause my headset is waiting for the solution.

Windows Media Player is not working
Now on a more serious note. windows media player is not working. this is a bit of a problem for me. Hate to say this but i think i'm going to reflash this one and wait till some of the problems are fixed.
See ya

BEST ROM??

What's the BEST ROM OUT THERE?
Criteria:
- Stable
- Works (incl. BT, WiFi, phone, everything!)
- Fast
- Compatible (e.g., most if not all apps will run)

I'm giving my vote to SuperRom 1.1, becouse this is a fastest ROM, also evrything works.

I guess this is as good a place as any:
I've been using (actually, reverting to) Molski 2.26 Final. For people that have used both, what are the positives of SuperROM 1.1?
(for the purposes of discussion, maybe it would make sense to group all of the ROMs as follows: 1) AKU2.X, 2) AKU3.X, and 3) Crossbow... someone post if I have that wrong)

Super ROm 1.1
With this rom, device runs faster but I have a call dropped so I have to go back to Molski 's ROM

My opinion is wm6 its Stable, Works: BT, WiFi; phone, Fast, Compatible: most or some apps will run but barebone at the start, could for some one that wants to add the programs they only like

i've tried molski's, superRom, aku 3.3 crowbow and WM6 and i'm sticking to aku 3.3 for now cuz inspite of the memory leak problem, it's the most comprehensive rom, everything works and pretty fast too
for the superROM, wifi wasn't working..
for WM6, too much to customize to what i want to have.. plus i'm lazy.. so i'm gonna wait for the xda team to come up with a cooked WM6 rom sooner than later

does wifi with wpa-psk/tkip work for you?

My Vote was for the AKU3.3 crossbow via Faria, Molski, Dr Put, Kyphur and I think the other one RkWhite.
I had had no problems with it. It is fast stable and just great & light for me.
I like the Wm6 also. But could only vote for the best so 3.3 it is !

liked the molski 2.26, the superrom was striking, but aku 3.3 by the masters of xda-dev blew me away, despite the mem leak i think its the best, and hoping that the issue on the leak be fixed soon

For me the Cingular 2.25 ROM has been gold. Nothing has beaten it yet!

i can download each and every rom from ftp site but can anyone tell me from where i could download wm6 rom!! i m running now aku3.3 rom but i want wm6 rom pls help !!

best rom = aku 3.2 molski.biz
So far, I've installed nearly all roms listed, and here is my feedback :
other : old orange FR AKU1.x and old orange FR B2B AKU2.0 => too slow, many stuff that I don't use and too many stuff to add afterwards
T-mobile 2.26 : only used to get strong IPL/SPL as dscribed in unlocking guide. Same problem as orange roms concerning the stuff provided
Superrom : very fast but CF2 not included and stuff I did'nt use, but very good rom so far
molski 2.26 final 30 mb : very fast. problems with smartskey behaving strangely and some info not displayed (eg. amount of space available on storage or card when installing apps)
AKU 3.3 Xbow : very important memory issue (5 mb free after a few hours running, 3 to 5 SR a day) fast and well-stuffed by the way...i'll go back to it if memory issue becomes fixed
Xbow : not many stuff I use in Rom, so plenty of things to install afterwards, and because MSVC 6 in rom, i could'nt install the french version. As I'm french and using MSVC a lot, not being able to install it was determinig in downgrading to.....
Molski 3.2 30 mb : the best rom so far 4 me, very stable, very fast even with no OC, no problem with smartskey, free ram > 22 mo after 3 days of use w/o reset AND MSVC6 and all my usual stuff work flawlessly.

Molski 3.2 by far the best so far. Absolutly no problems.
WM6 is the fastest but lots of problems...
I can`t wait for a Molski ver of WM6.

AKU3.2_Clean_ZeroXtreme at this moment. It's the fastest and cleanest of the AKU 3.x roms I've found on the site. I don't care for all of the eye candy of the cooked ROM's.
I was using Crossbow for a few days. However, I kept getting battery drain issues and decided I'd had enough. I'll probably try it again shortly for ****s and giggles, because I liked it a lot.

Interesting your observations on WM6 ...
The only "problem" I've encountered is SlingBox (which I personally don't use)
Things like HTML email; call history from within my contacts; download attachments actually downloads attachments, saving a step are really cewl and useful.
Just my two cents...

WM6 All the way
I always load all my own apps etc so I like a clean rom.
HTML Mail and the Smart dialler etc are the clinchers for me.
There are lots of little things I find in this rom as I use it that make it way better than WM5. for example when saving a number from your call list WM6 has an option on the top of all your contacts to create a new contact and add the number to that and that when I open the keyboard the SIP stays hidden and does not pop up like on WM5.
Jules

The problems on WM6 were: no MMS, no Camera, battery no more then 1 day, crash, freeze, etc... i tried PDAviet4 (no email sync, no live mail, etc ) and Wi6ard. No aditional software added... Did you use another WM6 ROM?
Those problems i only had on WM6, AKU 2.x and 3.x were fine.

MMS can be solved with ARCsoft MMS. Working fine on my imate
Camera fixed - Solution provided by Faria.
for the rest, I am sure that it has to do with the software you use. I didn't notice any dramatic difference in battery life. I can get about 3 days which is about the same as with other roms. I didn't experience ANY crashes or freezes.

The MMS fix did not work and i stop looking, Faria`s camera cab i cannot find... the rom crashed with no soft just using explorer and media player... I realy like the speed and looks of WM6 so i would not downgrade if those problems coud be solved easily.

Faria ROM for now.
I really really liked the "clean" WM6 ROM, but the damn thing kept draining my battery within a day...
Thought I had it working for a day or two, but then the draining began again
Hopefully Molski of Faria will release a proper WM6 ROM, because the WM6 Smart Dialer app is GREAT!

Downloading now.

No Office Mobile
Currious thing happened when I flashed, (SD Method), I have seem to have lost Office. Can't find it anywhere. Any guesses?
Searched again and under the windows folder, there are some blank office files like OneNoteMobile, pword, and pxl. All these I can use, so it seems that the icons for word are missing in the programs folder, but the program itself IS installed. I wonder if the SD flashing method has something to do with it. Will reflash and see.

I too have lost Office programs. I also cant find a battery indicator without going to the power function.
Other than that, this ROM is fast! I will let you know about the stability in a couple of days. But its working great. Thanks

for some reason I have the gay volume icon on my top bar and it keeps on showing my volume as all the way down and I can't hear when people call me

g8..custom rom!!! looking forward to use it but it seems little buggy..anyway u can transport the bluetooth files from wm5 to this custom rom?? my tomtom6 works well with wm5 only

It's my mistake. I'll fix it quickly.
Thx.

thuggin, onthezone:
I deleted Palm's BatteryIndicator. It cause a trouble with some key customizer. There are many software to display battery information more accurate.
chakli:
I ported System Files from double_ofour's Wizard ROM Kitchen. Unfortunatelly, I do'nt have TOMTOM.
BTW, I can give other features,
Delete PorkPie service(Auto Configulation for connection settings)
Delete Messaging(Pocket Outlook handles SMS only)
Delete WiredCarKit
Delete VoiceCommand
Does anyone need UltraLite Edition?
P.S.:I've fixed Office Issue, now. And I'll post it later

well I don't care about the battery icon being gone because I use pocket plus 4, but is there anyway you can get rid of the volume icon on top because everytime I touc it, it will mute my phone.

I'm using PocketPlus4, too. The smart scrolling feature is FAST FAST FAST! Amazing! I have Kaiser, but I like it than HTC touch feature. I'm going to cook Kaiser ROM to kill touch driver for PocketPlus4's smart scrolling

is there anyway to get it without using rapidshare... I have got that site to work
thanks

I think that Palm hasn't copmplete optimizing OEM package for WM6 yet, because of the OEM packages version 5.1.xx.xx.
It is difficult that all the Palm's features are suited to new AKUs.
To delete Palm's PhoneLookUp, your IM program may work.

Hi, it would be useful if you show us the package tree ^^ ,because i like your rom, but i want it in spanish, then i could make my own spanish lite rom. BTW, do you know how to get rid of all palm phone utility and have the windows default one?

feedback
First of all thx chaimd for your effort and time:
I had some sparetime tonight to flash and test your customrom.
I only flashed your OS and left the orginal (latest) ROW radio, at first all seems okay but I then when driving around I noticed that my navigation software (TomTom 6) was acting weird. Mainly strange (not complete) screen updates, loss of connection to BT GPS and missing parts on the screen. As this is a crucial function on my treo, I did no further testing and flashed back the ROW OS. After this TomTom 6 is functioning normal again.
Guess I will wait a while, till these little speedbumps are history.
Again, thx for your time
Kind regards
marl

I was wondering if you could take a look at an issue for me...
I use a car kit via Bluetooth (Parrot CK3100), and the phonebook doesn't automatically sync from the phone to the car kit correctly. Instead of syncing the phone book, it only syncs contacts from the Speed Dial plugin. Even if I have Speed Dial turned off from the Today Items.
It's obvious that the phone has a working Sim Access Profile (rSAP), since it uploads the carrier name, battery level, and signal level to the kit; it's just pulling phone book entries from the wrong location.
I have no idea even where to point you to, since I have no idea how the inner workings of Windows Mobile mesh together...
Here's to hoping you can come up with something, it would be totally awesome!

[ROM] WM6.5.3 28205 with Palm OEM

like in thread. I cooked WM6.5.3, build 28205 with Palm OEM. All works: sleep with red button, messaging etc. Without CHome etc (lockscreen too).
Known bug is not opening Start after tapping icon on the screen. You must open Start with hardbutton.
Please test, I try to fix any bugs you find

oh, really ? I fix this when I could.

Thanks for your efforts! The WM6.5 work for the Treo has slowed to a crawl. Nice to see there are a few of us that still like the Treo's form-factor.

Wow, I really like this ROM. I thought nav's was cool, this is even better! As with nav's ROM, I'll pitch in with some bug reporting.
-Palm's messaging app cannot be closed. It can't be exited, apparently, when I tap the close button on the bottom right it won't close the program. I used Wakutask to minimize it but that's the closest way to minimizing it on one tap (another way to minimize it it to open Start ->Show Today and it should go to the RAM.) Unfortunately, I am unable to use the Task Manager to close it as well. Only a Reboot will clear it away.
-Where is the "Keyguard" control panel applet? I want to turn off keyguard but cannot find the option.
Some other none-Palm related issues:
-When I install FileExplorer Ext, it freezes the phone randomly. Could be a probem with it, so I use Resco explorer for installing cabs :/
-HTC Task Manager doesn't work. Does anyone know which task managing progam is good for the new close button position?
-The aforementioned Waku Task works as designed, but as I mentioned earlier the close button no longer works at the top right (it would if you enable X-button skinning), but having active tasks still on the top bar is great
So, seeing how good this ROM is, minus the above issues, I'm wondering what should we call this ROM? Mietas edition?
Thanks again fo keeping the Treo alive!

more bugs
1.it did not let me to install new programs. I did an hard reset and then i succeed to install softwares.
2.i installed spb keyboard, and when i entered to menu in this software it freez and i needed to do a reset.

Oh this is issue is tottaly awesome. I didnt hope, that someone make new stable rom, with palm oem things. how much free ram is after installation? Want you fix the remaining bugs shortly? I didnt already install it, but i'm going to try it tomorrow.
Many thanks from treo user from czech.

I fix bugs as soon I get a Treo. Probably this week.
Thanks for reporting bugs so much
What about stability, RAM etc?

Finally had the chance to install it. Nice work!
1) I have to admit that I do miss the 'Zune' look of the earlier version's homescreen, but will gladly give it up for the stability and features of this ROM.
2) I had an issue trying to select a ringtone on the Phone Settings Screen. It looks like there is an extra dropdown menu covering up the one where you actually select the ringtone. Once you managed to select the proper dropdown, you could change the ringtone, it just took a little fiddling.
3) When I tried changing themes for the today screen, once switching off the AT&T screen, I couldn't get it back the way it was before the switch. Some of the menus, fonts, and graphics had changed (for example the lower menu bar on the home screen), and the only way I could find to restore it was a hard reset.
4) As others have said, clicking on the Windows logo on the home screen doesn't do anything. You have to use the Windows button on the keyboard.
5) I didn't have the issue reported by mangatron regarding the Messaging app. Mine seems to work fine.
6) The Phone button issue reported by libal is present for me too. It appears to be the menu box that popped up when pressing the phone button, only it goes blank, and as reported it does not go away by leaving that screen. Soft reset does clear it.

Any chance you could share your kitchen with us? This would allow us to make a few of these fixes and will allow us to port to other versions.
Also - When using any mail program it will not allow any reply to an email.

Hmm, Messaging app works fine now. Maybe I had to receive a few sms first, or I suspect my sim card wasn't playing nice with the ROM.
I also use AE Button Plus to map the OK button to actually close programs. That does wonders.
The old battery indicator that used to be in WM6 is half in the top bar. Well, I say half because I can see a part of the lightning icon (when you charge your phone), and a bit of the left shows up. Any way to clear that? Or a bug maybe...
I would like to note people using this ROM for the first time:
-It's always best to clear data after flashing ROM's. Hold Power button and press the Reset button underneath the MiniSD cover. That should clear the old installation setup you had previously, which should fix installation errors.
-The phone may seem sluggish at first setup, just wait for it to load what needs to load, and after you soft reset, everything should be smooth.
-For those that wonder about program compatibility, I tested a WM2003 era program (MADE Text Editor), and it simply overwrites the bottom bar with it's WM2003 style icon style bar. Works fine
As for stability, RAM, the phone operates a bit slower than WM6.1. SKTools benchmarks puts the graphics rendering nearly 100 points lower than WM6.1, and almost 200 points lower than nav's WM6.5 ROM. Maybe if we use his specialized ATI dll it might be faster? Because the CPU is also a bit slow, but only by 1 point, although RAM access time and Main Storage Read/Write is the same as WM6/6.1. I don't really want to tax the RAM, I tested Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2u and it operates the same way as on WM6/6.1. I don't want to test Beta 3 because that uses up twice the RAM than Beta 2u.
So far so good though, with a little bit of fixing this ROM can be a winner

Can this be used on Treo 700WX?
or is there WM6.5 ROM for Treo 700WX?

I can't readily compare to 6.1 because I haven't used it in a long time, but this ROM is definitely snappier than nav's 6.5 version. It loads faster, locks onto AT&T much faster, and web pages seem to load faster too. I'm just using it stock, I haven't added any additional software to it. I had nav's ROM on my Treo for several months, and would not go back from a performance perspective.
Having said that, I can confirm Z3rx's report of not being able to reply to emails. It just returns you to the Inbox when selecting reply either through the menu, or using the left action key. That's a big problem for me as I use e-mail quite a bit on my phone. Hope the OP doesn't disappear, as so many of the Treo 750 cookers seem to do after an initial release.

just wanted to say thanks! i also lost confidence in new wm6.5 roms for our old but good treo 750!
keep up the good work man!

Hmm, I can only imagine with nav's ATI driver this Mietas ROM would be a whole lot better, nav's was good basically for font rendering (pretty much every program launched) and Camera quality. The rest, was like you mentioned, it wasn't optimized in a lot of places, most notably for it's RAM management and I would suspect CHome/Titanium existing in his ROM further slowed it down.
Other than that, isn't signal clarity/reception dependant on the Radio Firmware version? Although I wouldn't be surprised because Nav's ROM does not pull both CAP_package and the Carrier database from EXT Rom like Mietas' ROM [probably] does (which would explain it being able to lock on faster, a similar experience I had with Tacoman's WM6.1 and the Chinese WM6.1, with Taco's pulling from EXT Rom while the CHS one didn't)
I would like to add that I currently am using the Database from what was most likely the final Official ENG ROM released by Palm, Vodafone Version 2.30 which according to my digging contains the most up to date Carrier Database (that's where all the world's wireless carrier information is kept). I could imagine if you had this you'd have even better results with your wireless carrier.

I'm on AT&T, and did not change the radio firmware when I flashed this ROM. On Nav's ROM I manually set up the AT&T config, but did not have to here. Could be the difference I suppose.

I agree that I hope the cook does not disappear, which is why I have asked for his cooked kitchen so I can make further improvements or port other version (23541)... however I have not heard anything back.
The email issue is a big problem as many times I can not even start a new email.
Please share your work so we can make a great rom!

Thank you, i was specting for something like this for about a year, anyone has some pictures of this new ROM working???

how the radio works how can i change the radio to get a better signal? here we have 850 umts and gsm 1800
