WM05 AKU2 to BA - test - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I need someone to test this ROM, because I dont have a BA.
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
STOP !!! ROM IS NOT WORKING
"ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/BLueAngel/WM5_BA_-_AKU2 TEST.rar"
It is possible that you have to reflash the old rom!

Is this based on the Himalaya rom?

How likely is it to turn my BA into a paperweight? LOL
I am donloading it now mate.. Will post any results in about 2 hours

I used the the newest QTEK Wizard Rom.
There would not be any difference between Him or Wiz OS. Same build same files.

?? no omap or xscale code optimalisation ?? files can not be the same :|

I ported the German Wizard rom successfully to my Himalaya and I did the same with the WWE version at this rom.
But there could be differences. In this case, the rom would not work.

First Impressions..
OK.. bearing in mind that i only installed the Ivan Rom about 3 hours ago.. My MDAIII is getting a beating tonight.. However...
Ok.. Standard stuff.. Bootloader mode.. Set operater..
The update was relatively quick.. only took about 8 minutes,
Formatted the hive and storage OK..
And it hang on the Windows Mobile Screen!
and it keeps on hanging on the windows Mobile Screen.. :?
No New device Setup.. No shimmer of life.. No backlight.. Just the on/Off button Works
Sorry mate.. Back to the drawing Board!

I have not changed the drivers, only the OS.
I compared a Univesal and Wizard rom and the OS is exactly the same.

That may well be bepe.. But it doesnt install past teh windows Mobie screen...
Something is wrong mate.. normally it should give you that screen you get when the device need to be setup the fist time.. and it doesnt.. It just hangs..
Sorry..

Ok thanks and I'm sorry.

Ahh well! Thanks for your attempt Bepe. It seems he got to the same stage as Mamaich & Tuatara.

***NOTE: To all wanting to test this, the ROM will not finish the BOOT sequence. This is the same or similar problem both mamaich and I have had with undertaking the Himalaya AKU2 Port to date. ***
The device will initialize, gets to the 'boot splash' screen, runs that ...
The "coldinit.exe" is started, since we hear the 'ding' happen ...
At this point the device locks - an animated "dialog" appears to want to be displayed.
The boot process proceeds no further. Presumably crashed.
Additionally, the LEDs are dead/disabled so I can not tell if the phone (RIL, BT, etc.) is still available/operating. Power button or screen taps do NOT relight the backlight, or enable the screen. Presumably locked up.
Ok ... excellent work so far, however the same problem(s) seems to be arising which both mamaich and I have run into when using the Himalaya AKU2 port.
My guess is that this is probably due to the same missing DLL interface calls being available in coredll.dll. There are now 5 additional entry points in the XIP portion of this DLL, and this could be causing the 'hang'.
It looks VERY promising though ... I'm definitaly going to be taking a VERY close look at this ROM as well. The boot sequence is quite dramatically different, and may lead to some possibilities in merging ROMs to avoid the requirements of changing XIP section modules.
P.S> TuMa v1.4 will be out shortly ... it's now combining elements from the Wizard, Himalaya 1.7x & 2.0, Jasjar, Atom, Acer, and the original v3.1 BA from mamaich now. Trying to merge the 'best' of the available elements for a well performing and stable device.

Not a problem.. Just let me know when you want another one tested!
Gruß Aus Malta..

OT: has anyone tried porting Universal rom? is it possible?

@Saintraziel:
Would be the same result.
And a lot more work to do because of the VGA resources.

aku2
Would this give AKU2 functionality for blueangel? (PH20B)
If so I would be happy to test any builds, I am dying to get my hands on a working WM5 with push email on BA.
Cheers...

WM6 BA - Will it be leaked, will it be made from scratch, and will it be stable?

Is this ROM ever going to be leaked from microsoft (i presume this was how wm5 be started)?
Porting seems to be very unstable from what I have heard
A WM5 rom was never released by microsoft, although it was known to exist. It's highly unlikely MS will create a WM6 dev rom for the BA at all.
Remember, the BA originally shipped with WM2003SE. WM5 was a struggle to get working, WM6 should (by an unwritten law) be unable to run on the BA. But there are some gods out there so you never know.
Many drivers in WM6 are almost exactly the same as WM5 AFAIK. Drivers are normally the big problem, so if you have good drivers for the BA, then it's a possibility.... but don't hold your breath.
V
So was wm5 BA never really created by microsoft?
In that case, who did create it? Did someone do it from scratch?
If they did, why can't they do it in crossbow (wm6 Blue Angel)?
I think it's a bastard son of a Wizard leak.
V
hardingt0110 :
You still didn't read the wiki and the older threads as I told you few weeks ago
But Microsoft is the one who makes OS (WM5, WM2003SE,WM2003,...).
O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Cingular... are the ones who adapt WMx to devices.
WM5 for BA has been ported from different (but very similar) device that already comes with WM5 by xda-developers.
You cant buy it (WM6), even if you want So be patient

The Roms never released for devices by microsoft, the producers use and adapt roms for him devices.
If HTC use Wm6 rom for him devices and Reproduce or advance BA to the WM6 or similar device then we can see WM6.
Other side If anybody can write or adapt device drivers that can be... Core software hasn't any driver i think. May be someone can syncronise Wm6 shell and BA (or resemble device) Wm5 drivers
And may be work
what a dream huh...
BA WM5 base rom is genuine created for BA, and just the OS (with AKU's and stuff) part was aded to this rom ported from another device.This base rom was leaked by one of the operators
I suppose that the needed kernel would be created by someone somehow someday, because basically Microsoft creates the new ROM, gives it to the manufacturers, then the manus will try to adapt the ROM to their devices.
As I saw somewhere on the net saying the ROM can be adapted and flashed to any device, as long as the manus manage to write the necessary drivers.v.v...those kinds of stuff. It sounds logical to me. What do you guys think 'bout this?
nht_max, that's what I thought as well but I never said anything, bowing to those who know more about these things. IMHO it is not needed to recompile the kernel unless it's for a new architecture. Proved the correct drivers can be located and they are compatible with WM6, then it should just work.
Recompiling may be necessary, I think because the new ROM is much different from the old WM5. Though I believe it'll be available some nice day.

You may be right about this, i have ported the OS part to BA rom without any changes in XIP section of rom (old core 5.1.195) and the device with this rom does not boot at all, so if the original core 5.2.x is ported to a BA rom it will work correctly, almost all OS files are related to the WM core, and if a function that they seek is not where it should be unpredicted crashes may occure.
But i think we should wait a lil more before try experiments like this, we have no any documentation about WM6, we don't know how the things work inside, it is similar to WM5 but defenately not the same. We must learn how it works and then port it and modify it to our own taste.
Also the leaked roms are from early beta stage, so they are not so stable and usable as the final version.We should wait a bit for the first official rom and build something stable enough from it for common usage. And i am not talking about BA here i am talking about rom cooking for all devices.

Hi,
have u changed coredll.dll in xip boot?
the devices not boot in same mode if u try aku 3.5 and have coredll.dll of aku 3.2
@Tuatara,
please help me for relocating more space in xip boot
of course not, AKU 3.5 runs fine with the old core without problems, but for crossbow the coredll should be changed in order to work, the thing is that it is bigger than the old core.
I have no knowledge of editing XIP, thats why i am stuck at this point, but i have read here on the forums that the coredll.dll can be changed with one with the exact same size, and the crossbow one is bigger.

I have tried to run aku 3.5 with coredll.dll for aku 3.2 (not 3.3) and not working....(but perhaps I mistake method)
I know that there is a way in order to increase and relocate the files in xip with dumpromx but I do not know if it works for the modules (old post Tuatara on xda)
and however I have read that it must edit vdata and pdata in the modules for the just address (oki and sp3dev on buzzdev)
but sp3dev and oki not working on blu devices only tuatara have necessary experience on blu devices and I believe can help

I don't understand this. Recompiling is only required for a different architecture in my experience, but I've not done much with this platform myself. Is it linking in specific BA drivers or something?

I agree 100%, though I'm sure some of you will still tinker around. Interesting stuff.
we can use BA wm5 drivers, they should work fine, WM5 is 5.1.x and WM6 is 5.2.x not a major 6.0.x release do the changes are not so drastic and the drivers should work
look at windows windows 2000 uses the same drivers as xp, windows 2000 is NT5 xp is NT5.1
OK guys, thanks for your help.
So basically the main part of the wm5 rom for the BA was made by an unnamed operator, who decided not to release it, but it was leaked to xda-developers.
Then the developers made the aku's and customisations from scratch / ported from other devices, and combined them to make a full wm5 rom.
Some people (xplode and others) seem to think that the wm5 main part rom can be used to host all the bells and whistles from wm6.
So basically, all we need to do is wait untill an official very stable wm6 rom is made for a Blue Angel like device, port it, and we're all set!
Am I right?
Oh, and one last question: is the name for the main part of the rom a "kernel"? thanks,
Always be faithful in the xda-developers,

Looking at other threads, some think it may be necesary to use sd cards as rom.
I have two sd cards (1gb and 2gb) which I swap between on my BA to allow me to have tomtom maps and movies on my device.
Untill now, I have ignored extrom.
Is it possible for me to install the extrom on both cards, so that I can swap them over when I want?

I've been quite able to make some space in the XIP section by moving files around (to make space for larger boot registries, etc.), but I haven't had any luck with moving around modules. I think it was mamaich (and/or bepe) who managed to get the new core.dll (which has the new LASS_xxx entry points) into the BA XIP section ... but I haven't had the time to see how they managed it.
I do have the source for RomMaster & dumprom, and will be going through the details at some point - when I have the time (which is always lacking). In the same way as figuring out the Acer ROM for mamaich's tools - I'll need to see if we can dump out and 'move' modules & files around to make the space required. This may just have to be a 'one off' manual hex editing job though (fixing the tables).
While in theory the WM5 drivers should work just fine, a number of our "WM5" drivers are still 2003SE versions. How long we can keep using the old drivers is anyone's guess.
In short - as long as the XIP section contains all of the entry points and support calls required by the 'new' OS, and can start the "new" OS, then the OS portion of the ROM can be replaced. This is what we are doing with the BA now. The XIP section is still (effectively) the original leaked WM5 build, with very little, and as little replaced as possible, but just enough in order to boot the "new" OS, which has been put in the remainder of the ROM.
For reference, you can find a listing of the new functions in core.dll from here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobiledocs/
As far as I know (from xda-dev & runour mill) the core.dll entry points have not changed between versions wm5/6 ... but that's not to say that some things don't operate differently.
Only time will tell if we can port/hack wm6 on to a Blue Angel.

HTC Hermes's WM 6 on Breeze

As I understand "Also the Breeze Hardware shares most of the Parts with the Hermes" is it possible to convert it's WM 6 for Breeze?
(sorry for my bad English)
Probably it is, need to look into it. at first we need to crack spl to avoid nbh check
hi,
maybe hard spl v7 works...
i have experimented today... but i need my phone, because of that i finaly didn't click on the "flash now" button
Hermes is a PocketPC and Breeze is a Smartphone...
Both WM5 and WM6 have separate OS editions for PocketPC and Smartphone. If I were you, I wouldn't try to force "WM6 Professional" (Pocket PC) for Hermes on a Breeze (Smartphone - "WM6 Standard").
So, you need to decompress the xip segment and get a memory map of breeze. if memory addresses are the same as hermes, you need to replace a coredll.dll in second xip segment and you need to build imgfs using wm6 os from excalibur/vox and breeze wm5 drivers and applications. to load this into the phone, you need to avoid nbh check
how can we decompress the xip segment ???
what is exactly the coredll.dll ???
HI,
today i have played a little bit with bootloader...
task 32 says FF ... so its definitly not supercided... but i don't really know why a few other persons here can flash a dopod rom.. maybe they are all the same cid ??
also i'm searching for a usb sniffer ... have found a few in the web but all costs money and noone had give me understandable commands while using the romupdate tool from the actuell htc rom...
ok found some other interresting info..
the RUU_BREE100_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_HTCEUR_SHIP ROm has a QTEK_Z12 CID ....
but we all can update it to breeze device...
quite interesseting is also that:
Cmd>info 2
HTCSQTEK_Z12Û.oÂHTCE
... as we can see i my HTC Device has a QTEK_Z12 CID ... maybe someone can check what CIDS und the Breeze's out there...
Hi, could you explain how have the CID of the phone. Because i tried with info2 but it didn't work. Thanks. ++
----------------------------
just go in bootloader:
turn off device and restart it with hold cam button...
attach usb cabel the serial line on the 3color screen should change to usb...
also you have to deactivate the activesync usb connection...
then start the mtty app choose the usb connection...
then youll see the cmd> line... after this enter info 2 ... and you should become a output like mine...
------------------------
what ipl/spl version's are shown on the 3 color screen ??
i read that HTC announced S730 (wings)
it is like s710 but with MTeoR's hardware and WM6
I hope that it is possible use s730 ROM to take WM6 for MTeoR
So we need wait for s730 i think
I hope that i can see WM6 on my MTeoR :-[
concerning to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1257924&postcount=10
i say it a second time now...
we need the excalibur wm6 rom
why...
simply ... the excalibur has likley the same hardware as breeze !!!
all other devices are based on the hardware like wizard... (200mhz cpu etc.)
I'm just working on all the needs...
cookin with wm5 works!! i had cooked a German only version from the actuell rom! with a few tools on it...
also cooked an costumized bootscreen:
also there has to be somewhere in rom a "Shutdown" Screen.. i flashed the 2 Bootscreens and when shutting down the phone theres the old htc screen...
excalibur (s620) based on Tornado. So it have OMAP chipset, other radio w/o 3G etc.
at this time there is no MTeoR's based smartphones on the market as I know. Announcement only (Wings/Erato/"excalibur replace")
... damn ... what t.. f...
i searched a few days a ago and i had a website where the info was that excalibur is like the mteor...
....
ok so far i can see the next mteor hardware like phone should be the s730 (Wings)....
sorry that was my fault...
...
ok maybe i tought that excalibur was the right because this is the only one where i can find a wm6 rom for download... on all others there are no shipped roms available??
hmm
Hi,
ok just played a little bit with the excalibur rom...
the mainproblem is that i cant extract the files out of the nbh file...
because of that i can't modifiy a hermes rom...
i will look forward and hope to find an solution for it...
ok...
extraced excalibur rom...
cooked a bit...
but no working rom yet!!
also have flashed a wm6 hermes rom with a few files modified to breeze...
device didn't boot on bootscreens...
when flashing an unmodified excalibur rom, breeze directly goes to bootloader ....
next thing i want to try is to use the original 1,34.251.1 Rom ...
wow... I hope you manage to get a working WM6 rom for the MteoR...
Hi guys!
i have cooked today the wm6 rom with base wm5 ... but windows did not start up after 2nd boot screen!
i think that all goes to hard work ....

Hey jerpelea. Thanks so much for getting this out, I loaded it up as soon as I got home Friday night. Observations so far:-
Pros:-
-Very fast loading, much faster than latest WM6.0 out for Mteor
-Very fast running, including loading apps.
-Visually, complete makeover. Much happier with this Today screen than any plugin I've seen.
-All software attempted to far works fine- Route66, Google Maps, Skype (as well as it does on the mteor anyway!).
Issues:-
-msn messenger not installed, however Today screen expects that it is there. When selecting to sign in from Today screen, it comes up with a connectivity issue immediately, however no connectivity issue exists. I can install WLM seperately, but would be ideal to have the sign in from the Today screen as intended. Also when I've installed the latest WLM, there is a strange issue where I cannot do backspace- the 'back' key does not delete text and move the cursor backwards. Makes MSN virtually unuseable for me.
-Phone intermittently does not resume from standby- is frozen. It is still flashing to say that it's on and connected, however no buttons will revive it- the only way to revive is to remove battery and reboot. When phone restarts new messages and emails come in- leads me to believe phone was frozen.
-Phone intermittently wakes up for no reason- have had the phone sitting next to me for a night, and it lights up brightly at random intervals.
I am blown away with this release- it's made my Dopod 595 my favourite phone to carry again, over my Hermes and Asus Halley. A few issues to be resolved obviously, but it's exciting that we're getting such recent builds of WM6 for our Mteor's.
Keep up the great work, holding my breath for the A3 release!!!
does it work with dopod 595 variants with forward facing camera? and also, can you please point us to SuperCID unlock guide? thanks

It sure does work with the 595, albeit with the issues mentioned in my previous post. I'm honestly not sure about the front-facing camera, hadn't tried it yet. Will try tonight and advise.
In terms of getting around the CID issues, there will be 3 registry edits you will need to make (need to copy regedit to phone and run to make changes), and also a piece of software to application unlock. This will make your phone Application Unlocked.
You then put Des' SSPL on the phone, run it and immediately press the power and camera buttons. It will then start with the special SSPL, which gets you around the CID locking. You can in theory update via the update software (RUU) after this, however I have always upgraded via putting the rom onto the memory card as "BREEIMG.NBH". There is packaging software that will allow you to put your own choice of radio, rom, splash-screen's etc together.
In terms of the SSPL process, this is very well documented on the forum. Just take a look. I would not attempt the SuperCID process suggested- which involves loading the Hermes unlock tool to the phone. The hardware may be the same, however the command to enter the bootloader is not, I have bricked my Dopod 595 TWICE doing this- both times having the board replaced (under warranty luckily!). Up to you to attempt if you like- however I just don't see that it's really worth it until there is a dedicated and foolproof process.
Remember that these rom upgrades don't include the radio upgrade- so if you are upgrading your firmware for the first time, best to flash the most recent HTC WM5 upgrade first (incl. radio 1.38.x). Or an extracted Hermes radio rom. Just ensure it includes HSPDA.
If it's your first upgrade, and you don't like the idea of upgrading many times, I'd perhaps wait until a more final WM6.1 for Mteor is released (perhaps A3 or a RC).
I'm far from an expert, but have played with these, and my Hermes a lot. If I can perhaps answer anything else, please let me know...

jerpelea can u add MMS program to your A3 release???

It sure does work with the 595, albeit with the issues mentioned in my previous post. I'm honestly not sure about the front-facing camera, hadn't tried it yet. Will try tonight and advise.
In terms of getting around the CID issues, there will be 3 registry edits you will need to make (need to copy regedit to phone and run to make changes), and also a piece of software to application unlock. This will make your phone Application Unlocked.
You then put Des' SSPL on the phone, run it and immediately press the power and camera buttons. It will then start with the special SSPL, which gets you around the CID locking. You can in theory update via the update software (RUU) after this, however I have always upgraded via putting the rom onto the memory card as "BREEIMG.NBH". There is packaging software that will allow you to put your own choice of radio, rom, splash-screen's etc together.
In terms of the SSPL process, this is very well documented on the forum. Just take a look. I would not attempt the SuperCID process suggested- which involves loading the Hermes unlock tool to the phone. The hardware may be the same, however the command to enter the bootloader is not, I have bricked my Dopod 595 TWICE doing this- both times having the board replaced (under warranty luckily!). Up to you to attempt if you like- however I just don't see that it's really worth it until there is a dedicated and foolproof process.

you sound pretty much like a guru here.. it will be very helpful if you can provide the links to the documentation of the CID, SSPL, ROM, or anything relevant here. i know i can do a search, but my 595 is out of warranty and it wouldnt want to risk killing the phone with the wrong process or procedure.. unlike the startrek thread, the superCID and unlocking process are well pointed(links) and explained in the ROM update packages. i find that Breeze's threads are a bit fragmented here..
so if it's not too much of trouble, maybe you can start a new thread explaining the unlocking, CID, SSPL, and Radio upgrades in detail. im sure the admin will make this useful thread sticky for nobs (like me). cheers.
have you looked into wiki?! there are many infos...
CID Unlocking isnt researched sofar that you can use it without starting the sspl from a running device... so that means theres no HARD SSPL yet...
and i think there would never be..
i have tested to flash devs sspl but it didn't worked...
i'm also on the side that the mteor is a smartphone thats not really widly in use... so theres no big community behind they develope!
DEv has done so much with his sspl...
and with wm6 and wm6.1 yet i think thats much more i have ever imaginaryed!
thank you again! but i still do not run rom Kitchen.
is it possible to put in the neo-plugin today app from the mteor wm6.0 roms?

WM 6.5 Beta Testing Expired - Urgent Assistance Required !!

Hi Guys,
I am in a serious fix ! I downloaded WM 6.5 ROM from this site about 3 months ago & installed it on my HTC TYTN II. It worked like a charm...until this Morning. It now says " This concludes the beta test of this software release." etc....I can't connect to my phone via USB thus I can't reload any Software onto it. I tried to Hard Reset...but the phone just restarts & goes back to this message...Is there any way of getting a ROM installed on this phone ? Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Try this Sir,
Make sure You have full battery capacity,
Press and hold camera button then connect Your Kaiser to PC,
It should bring You to bootloader then just flash it with any ROM,
Finish

Dude, seriously? I've heard nothing but complaints about Android. Only issue with TPCV6 I know of is quickGPS. Other than that it is fast, responsive, and loaded with some pretty good apps and customizations. V5.1 has no issues. Maybe you got a bad download, or forgot to flash a stock rom first, but his work is pretty good.
I'm using Anryl's Build 21501 6.5 with no problems. no time bomb as of yet, and if it does, oh well. I save all contacts to my SIM & don't save messages so it's no big deal. My room mate has a G1 and what does it do? It sits in his desk draw as he uses his new LG Incite WM cell (His Kaiser needs a new screen again).
Note to self, don't put your Kaiser in the same pocket as your wallet with metal buttons on it unless you want a cracked screen lol...
I have the same problem with o2 xda trion... please help me.
worried
i have a AthineOS WWE 6.5 rom. Is 6.5 on beta test generally? Will all 6.5 roms expire after some time? would be helpful if someone could clarify as i also had no idea about this.
You have to use an NTBC ROM to be free of this kind of probs.
NTBC unofficially stands for No Time Bomb Certified.
The new ervius style kitchen checks it auto. on build ROM, but old style kitchen maybe doesn't. I would recommend asking your preferred cooker to upgrade to ervius new style kitchen, in order to produce free NTBC ROMs
Passing manually in bootloader mode then plug in PC you don't need ActiveSync you can flash a new ROM directly. Hoper that helps,

Hi mate
sorry but from what i read about this app you have to have wince_nls in the XIP and there's not enougth space in XIP, so It's a none starter
there's so little space left in the rom now with 6.5 that were gona need to find some other way to do things, we may make it to the end of 6.5 there's a small cab with my rom and that don't fit in the rom that's Y it's in the cab
but wm7 needs hardware we don't have in our devices
regards
swampy395
very nice and fast ROM, thank you
but I am having problem with external bluetooth GPS module. I turn ON bluetooth on the device and the module. Then pair it and select to use "Serial Port". But the device is listed as Disconnected and when I try to connect, it says: "Your device did not connect with GW-GPS-005. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect."
Passcode is correct and in WM5, 6.1 and some beta 6.5 it worked just fine
edit: same problem when connecting to Nokia 6260. Will try flashing some WM6 ROM to be sure the BT on Himalaya is working(worked last week, but to be sure)
edit 2: so the BT is working, but every 6.5 ROM I tried can't connect to anything... can someone please test if their bluetooth is working? please please
Hi mate, once again thank you for this update. Great job my friend ! ! !
Flashing again finished in just 13 minutes, start menu folders multimedia, accessories and communication now been updated. And flashing with this rom did not made any changes to the installed programs in my previous rom specially contact numbers,titanium theme and other components except for time settings, ringtone and task bar icons which have to reset or reinstalled. Noted speed and stability is still present. Is this related to flashing rom without losing data thread in development and hacking section? just curious
wow!
wow! another wm6.5 rom!

Hi mate
Over the last 2 years or so I'v had with many rom this sort of probs with GPS devices in 6.1 and more so in 6.5 ROM's
1) work round is to pair some other device/s IE: PC, Headset, or some other phone ETC. then pair GPS, It will then have to use a different port/dma/irq etc..
Over on Blue Angel forum "GloomyBoy" did a tutorial on fixing some probs with 6.5 an GPS it's worth a look
I'v just paired my bt_gps ok, It's unbranded don't know it's make got it with hima 4 years ago
Please let me know how you get on and ill see if its something that can be builtin

most times if you had programs installed to ramdisk then there still there after a reflash but not every time if new rom ramdisk size not same as last then it will be lost for sure,
P.S. after you flashed the ROM in the upgrade folder there's a file RUULog.log can you past it's contents or zip it here so i can see, Y your flash time is so short as it's 40 mins with my dual core 2gHz laptop

Hi mate
sorry i tryed porting to another language once before and didn't manage it,
i'v seen a tutorial, I think in hima forum how to doit but, you'll have to search it out and try it,
Note when building for any other language than "WWE" there are more file and there larger too, Space is in short supply
not saying it can't be done but it will be hard good luck
regards
swampy395
Thanks very much for reply!
I looked over at the Blue Angel forum and the tutorial is basicaly the same I did every time when pairing my Hima with the GPS on WM5, 6 or 6.1 but is not working on 6.5(for me) because the dang thing is somehow unable to connect.
So I tried to pair something else. Headset is working fine and other phones not.
But this is no issue with your ROM, my Hima can't connect to anything on any 6.5 ROM as I found out. The only option for me is to flash 6.1 ROM and live with it, because I use the phone only as a GPS navigation
Still, thanks for your time, your ROM is realy nice, fast and all
