Hello
There is a new Rom from me on the FTP .
I know I said there will be no further Roms made by me, but ThExSenator said there is a working solution for the MS BT Stack disconnect whilst suspended issue.
It is integrated into this release. As a result the Widcomm Stack has been removed from the Rom.
This release is based upon Ivan v4 R2_new.
If you have questions please ask them.
Download Link:
Edited the Download Link as someone emptyed the FTP again and i had to reupload it
EDIT MDAIIIUser
Ivan asked me to move this rom to a safe place, it can be found here.

Ramdisk support how?
Hey Ivan,
Thx, for the brilliant rom ! Is it possible to have somehow ramdisk support under your rom? If you install any ramdisk under this rom, the (my) device freezes after startup...
Btw BT works perfectly after the fix is applied. Now we have plenty wm5 rom to choose from. My personal favorite is Ivan's rom
Thx for your hard work!
exsenator, is RAMDISK avaliable in this ROM? also, does WMP works well(I am currnetly using latest logout ROM and and MP3s in wmp shutters in the beginning).
Also, does the wifi works flawlessly?

No ramdisk yet, but i use extended rom instead of ramdisk at the moment. I will test you WMP and Wifi later. I only used wifi 1 time since Ivan's new rom is up. What should i test with the wifi ? And no devicelock on today screen, but who cares?

u may check Internet Explorer mobile and latest opera 8.6 mobile.
WMP is very important for me
BTW, ramdisk is a lot faster than ext-ROM
also, remember, ext-ROM has limited write operations(i read this on MSDN blog), so, one is more safer with the RAM disk for IE cache, WMP cache, netfront cache(can be moved to ram-disk using tweaks2k.net)
also, the browsing experience would be axiomatically be faster as it takes less time to write on the ram than on NAND based ROM

Well well... Didnt experience anything which can be called fast about using ramdisk... I dont really care about the write operations, as soon as i will reach that amount of number i will throw the pda away i think. IE is nearly unusable under every WM5 compared to W2k3SE.
Lets wait, what Ivan can say about the ramdisk thing, 'coz none of the released ramdisk cabs seem to work.
@Ivan
You rom has been the best rom out there! It is a clean version of Microsoft Mobile 2005. I have kept using your software due to the fact that there is not bulky additions in it.
The version you mentioned you were basing this latest rom with had an issue with Wi-Fi. Have you fixed that issue as well as the bluetooth issue in this new version?
@Ivan
Have you been able to get a cab file or build in the Tuma Device Lock. I found that the issue with the screen turning on and off with the bluetooth can be easily fixed with the Device Lock as seen in the Tuma Device.
Reason being that if the backlight turns on for any reason, the touch screen does NOT respond to clicks or presses on the screen. Once the timeout occurs, the screen will go back to turning off and conserving battery.
Now if this is something that is a flaw, perhaps it is something to look into for the future releases.
@Ivan Part 2
Also is this version have a working MSN bar for the today screen? I recall you released several versions different because the MSN bar wasn't working.

AFAIK Ivan and his 'crew' have looked into this and found that whereas the device lock (origionally from a Wizard Device) works fine TuMa in tuma, it fails to install/function on Ivans ROM, this has been attributed to the fact that unlike Ivan's releases TuMa is based upon a ported Wizard ROM, hense the Wizard device lock being compatable.
Basically it wont work without heavy patching and IMHO it's not worth it, there are many freeware and shareware alternatives you could invest in if needs be
Over and out
Hey Ivan,
thanks for your latest ROM. I appreciate your hard work. I do have a suggestion for your next rleease, please use latest ROM available. I think all you ROM is missing now is RAMDisk, Device Lock.
regards,
imatrix
thanks for your hard work, do you add the BT fix in this rom?? so i flash it now, you are the GREAT!!!
thanks Ivan - it is nice & faster ROM

As many times said... Devicelock is hard to implement, because of the build of WM5. As far as I understood, the Devicelock came with a newer release / build of WM5, this is why its hard to implement into Ivans rom, its an earlier windows build. (Is devicelock present in WM2k5_v4_R2_new.rar? Can't remember now...)
Yes its true, that all roms are missing ramdisk. This would be really nice.
As for the ms bt fix, personally I installed the cab of this fix right after the first boot.
Regarding Device Lock
As Midget_1990 said, it isn't possible because of the architecture of the Rom. It is not a Wizard port and as a result of that the Device Lock is not possible.
Regarding RamDisk
Unfortunately I can't test it as i do not have a blueangel to test this on. Other persons can find a solution hopefully.
Regarding the Wifi Issue and BT issue and MSN issue
The MSN issue was fixed one or two releases ago
The BT suspended issue should be fixed with this release
The Wifi issue has been fixed with this release
is WMP working ok?
Should work good like all previous versions.
that's a shame, Ivan, your rom is best out there man. too bad u dont have BA device anymore.
so i guess this may be your final rls?
one question, what kinda ROM is Tuma and Logout?
imatrix
i know one thing, if someone gets ramdisk on this, this will be the best rom. I ve already been a big fan of his previous releases

TuMa is a modified Wizard port and Logout's ROM is just TuMa without all the extras (stripped down version)

After some playing I've managed to make Himalaya's ROM work on our devices. A test version is uploaded here - ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/hima2baWM5testROM.rar
This ROM should be considered as a first step towards porting HTC Wizard's ROM to our devices. WM5 Roms of other QVGA devices can be also used as a template. If you have such ROMs - post them here.
This ROM should be considered as a test and should not be used on real devices!
What's new in this version:
- DirectX mobile/Direct3D mobile support!
- Native WM5 camera API
- no need to install any patches for BA WM5 ROM
- Himalaya's ROM is newer and should be more stable than BA
Known bugs:
- When using BT a crash in device.exe occurs, but BT continues to work
- Camera is rotated, and max resolution is 480x360, installing 2003SE camera fix may fix that
The ROM still does not have MMS client.
What should be tested:
- overall stability of this ROM. It has only several files from BlueAngel native ROM and they may conflict with something.
- BT headset disconnection bug should be checked. My headset is broken, so i cannot check it myself
- maybe someone would play with registry on this ROM? I think that BT crashes and rotated camera may be fixed by editing registry.
The tools used to create this ROM are here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34171
Installation:
Download archive, fix country code, flash. Make hard reset after flashing! Press record+camera+reset button, and select "format storage" in menu.
Note. I cannot create WM5 ROM for those devices that don't have leaked or official WM5 ROM created for them! Alpine and Magician users - dont ask me to do so!
Wooowwwwww :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Great JOB
You, Buzz, & co you are the Best
micro...soft must ask you to develope there new application
Sacaman
Very nice mamaich..how about speed? Does it run as fast as himalaya?
Thank you Dear File under Downloading
So far it seems great! I did have to run the MaUpgradeUt_noID instead of BaUpgradeUt because of my device and I had to run the CameraFix to fix the slowness due to sound issue. Will test BT today. So far though it's much more responsive.... and I've yet to overclock.
Great work mamaich and company!
Thanks!!!!!!!!

you guys really rule !!!
can wait for flashing it tonight
keep up the good work
mamaich:
Will you be replacing the 5.1.1700 Build 14343 with this version?
The rar file link above is broken? I can't download the file.
does the universal mms cab work?
and should the storage be reformated partion wise? Like one big thing or still split up?

So far working OK on PDA2k. I like it that there is no need for patching. Still more to be tested.
going crash with resco explorer 5.31
is there a need to repartion the storage into one big 68 meg partition or leave as factory?
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 not working with this ROM....
Nevermind, did format of storage etc and reinstalled, works now.
There is just one wierd bit of behavior though. When using the "Ringer" commands it changes the phone volume not the PDA volume (which really is the ringer) and for Vibrate it just cuts the sound off instead of switching to vibrate.
WM5 AKU 3.3 Rom for G3 & G4 Wizards (includes Crossbow stuff and many enhancements)
Okay, here's the scoop:
This ROM is to be considered BETA, it is provided as is.
It is the real deal, Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.3 OS Rom. Nothing grafted from AKU 2.x
There are no IPL, SPL, Radio or Splash Screens.
BE SURE YOU ALREADY HAVE 2.x IPL/SPL & RADIO ROM ON YOUR DEVICE BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM.
ALL Applications and installers are integrated directly into the Rom so G4 Users can use this one without problems. The Extended Rom does have a Carrier Settings Utility and a couple of extras but othing that is critical to the operation of the Rom. If you have a G4 which won't allow the Extended Rom to write don't worry you will be fine.
At the request of the Rom Chef, here is a list of the users who were involved in this project: Faria, Molski, Dr Puttingham, rkwhyte2, Kyphur.
For Rom Flashing & CID Unlocking Help see this thread.
Any posts in this thread asking about CID unlocking WILL BE MODERATED.
Note: My Wizard has been unlocked since the day after I bought it but it is my understanding that you can flash cooked Roms which have no bootloader (like this one) WITHOUT CID Unlocking. If you try the worst that will happen is you need to reflash with an official Rom from your Carrier.
Apparently G4 Devices do need to be CID Unlocked.

And now the warnings:
Use this thread wisely, No CID Unlocking or how do I flash this Rom questions. If you don't know this already then you need to read before attempting to flash any Rom.
DO NOT send me 5 million PMs asking for more features or some inside scoop. I've provided everything I have.
Unless they reveal themselves, I will not disclose who was involved in this project or where I got the Rom.
Known Issues with this ROM:
Known Issues with this ROM:
APPLICATIONS:
TodayAgenda is v0.9.20, get updated version here. Note: You must install and then uninstall to get the Rom to forget about the embedded version then install again to be able to use.
OPERATION:
Storage Card Mount on boot seems slower (like it is mounted later in the boot process)
I will do my best to keep this post updated as issues are reported and confirmed.
Thanks to all who have made this ROM... I´m downloading it now..
Cellular Provider shown as a #####
My cellular provider is shown as a number (6 digits) when using this ROM. Is this normal? Or can this be fixed? Just a minor issue, I know, but just looks unusual! BTW, this ROM is FASTTTTTTTT!!!
Thanks
will try this tonight on my G3 Cingular unlocked 8125. I'm also investigating the WM6 Crossbow rom as well.
Is there a recomended radio for this release? There have been some posts regarding missed calls with the 2.25.11 and 2.47.11 radios with the recommendation to use 02.19.11. Any opinion here?
aaaah very nice news
i waited a lot thx to team worked on
love this forum
might be you
just downloaded it and installed it
Install and up and running! Very nice work guys! Very very fast and I love them icons
btw Im using radio version 2.19.11
Issues found so far...
I have three issues that I have found so far if someone has any insight into them...
1. My cellular provider shows as a 6-digit number instead of "sunCom".
2. I cannot get my WiFi card to "work". In Comm Manager, the "X" will not go away.
3. My storage card is not recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And I cannot believe how fast this ROM is. Very nice job!!!!
EDIT: Issues #2 and #3 FIXED!

Missed Calls/Voice Mails?
Is there any issue with missing calls or voice mail notifications? I read this was a huge issue with other 3.x ROMs so I have stayed away from them. If not I'm excited to try this and thanks for all the work put into it.
thanks a lot gonna leech it and use it nice work
First off let me just say thank you. This rom is amazing, the customization program for providers is awesome I love it. And everything on it runs so fast, right now it is just the rom itself and I am going to start loading my programs.
I'll post any issues I find
free ram?
How much free ram it has?
ram
in installed it and after installing pocket plus there was only 20 mb left.
because i'm spoiled with molski's clean rom, i changed it back
wow lets keep those impressions coming...
wanna try this out...
If anyone is interested in their wireless security
WPA2 & AES work
A BIG BIG thank you to everyone who worked on this ROM
I can wait for the Crossbow ROM now

For the guys who worked on this ROM, its excellent. You should be proud of yourselves, worth the wait!

Comparison between Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v1.4.CF2 by baniaczek and BA WM5 AKU3.5 R4 - xplode.
I would want to upgrade my Blue Angel. which of the two it is the best one? I would want to have stability with Bluetooth and WiFi to use with GPS e surf in the web. You excuse me for my bad English…
Don't compare them now. Wait two days - wait for bug fix release.
Today - use xplode.
try both
for u to find out.
Now I see another upgrade: R4 Lazy Release
xplode R5 seems on the way too!
Hmm Banizczek, I knew bug_fix release coming in 2 days, I can't wait to see what else is fixed/enhanced.
Your hard work is VERY appreciated.
Hopefully the BA_Goodies will be included in it (psShutXP, Softkey, RunningPrograms, TaskMgr) + Mail_Fix + SmartDial.

You have convinced to me, you could say the procedure to me of installation of the Rom Xplode R4? I have read that I must set up something on the telephone operator
there is nor R5 on the way, i am still seeking ways to include .NET CF 2 SP2 inside but have no space left, it will be easy for baniaczek to include it because he already has .NET CF 2 SP1
and i think that there is no best WM5 rom, because they all are hacked to work on BA, they are not created specially for the device, thats why there are some known bugs which can not be fixed
afterall baniaczek edition of helmi's rom looks really promissing, so wait for the next release
about my roms, the lazy release does not need setting operator, so the upgrade procedure will be exactly the same as in any other wm5 rom
also i will post a kitchen to my R4 rom, but now i am configuring it, it is based on the newest Bepe's rom kitchen for Hermes (but of course it will be for BA) and it is a lot more easyer to build with it, you can choose which components you want and customize your roms better. For example you can create rom without office apps, or media player, or without any software which is included by default. But i am still working on it.

What about selective UPXing of dlls and exes? Yeah, some UPXed stuff might render it not working, it is a tedious process of UPXing stuff one by one, putting it on the ROM and then, if it works, flash a rom with them.

could I user this kitchen to get rid of camera support?
A lot of things are already UPXed (in helmi's ROM, xplode's ROM - probably too).
And there is still not enough room. In my ROM, for example - about 20 free sector, 512 byte each. UPX is not revolution itself - IMGFS files are compressed gives some compression itself, so UPXing small files gives no impact results.
net.cf dll's are very large, but cann't be UPXed - the are signed, so UPX skips signed files.
It is very hard to save even 1MB of ROM. For that reason I've decide to remove some things (MSN, transcriber) from ROM.
OKAY

Personally, I have no use for powerpoint mobile. Actually I have never read a single Office document in my BA. all 3 apps could go EXTROM IMO. but maybe Word and excel are used by some, maybe they need to stay. Powerpoint mobile is the biggest of teh 3 exes I believe, at least this one could go EXTROM.
gdiplus.dll is not upxed, I copied it to my windows machine and it compresed to 36.78 original size. Sure, the space savings is not as big on IMGFS, but still...
some time ago I tried compressing some files, I believe gwes.exe is compressible too, and it's big. maybe you could check if it's already upxed...

I agree with BJ. All these 3 apps can go to EXTROM, eventhough I still use word and excel rarely though.
What about calculator? I believe most people would install a better version calculator. i know calculator program doesnt eat up a lot of ram, but it is still something...
And, just out of curiosity, what are the most used input method? I always use Block Recognizer. i believe people would only use 1 fav, however maybe Keyboard has to be left out as it is - just in case your friend/partner want to borrow ur phone for a quick sms or something, and they dont know how to use block/letter recognizer. Maybe it is a good idea to have block recognizer & letter recognizer to be excluded as EXTROM, just like what Baniaczek has done with Transcriber (This is very neat since it improves the time to change input method).
Btw, any news on bluetooth random wakeup issue?
Cheers

EnergyRom based on 28002 100% work
Don't know about 28004

That's what I'm using I think....can you post the link to where you got it please?
Lost In Asia 14.0 (28004), gps is fine
it could be that one of the ROMs you flashed changed the Radio on your device (i know some dutty Roms do this). check your radio version to see if its the ROM or the radio
until now on every 6.5 rom i tried the gps worked fine,and i tried a lot of roms.
There was an issue with the GPS on 28004 of the Energy Rom Series, fixed in the latest build of 28005 on the 27th.
I'm currently testing Xnor 6.5 V1.4 and the GPS seems to work just fine.
Did you try running quickgps first? It should help to get a faster fix.
GPS has worked on all wm6.5 roms I've tried, so I doubt your problem is with the rom

All the roms are working... (I have test most of them) Please try an other GPS program for example "HTC GPS tool" standard settings: Com4 4800baud
Normaly TomTom finds its settings automatic...
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I'm a bit of a doofus it seems... my GPS works a treat now with the Shelby ROM I'm using!

Sh3lby 1.9 works fine. No issue with GPS. Fast and smooth.
Hi members! I have problem with Gps ( no tomtom no foot print no googlemap localization) and Wifi (works but no far than 50cm!) I think that the problem it isen't of the roms but something else! So I do Hspl Olinex 1.56 then I flash the Rom next the radio and at last the rilphone.cab! But Nothing! So I have to unlock something? My Touch Hd is Brand Tim!
Thank for Collaboratin!
I'm going Crazy with this trouble

nice and fast 6.5 windows mobile roms is from PhamQuang

[ROM][PhamQuang][WWE]TouchHD WM6.5 ROM V81 (Core 28006) with MANILA 2.1 (NEW) you need to mail ppl for the link or sign in at http://pdaviet.comgo below and change the laungues to "english" with signing in you need a vietnamese translation to english.took me some time but i signed in.copy paste the stuff with signing in.With this rom you have allmost a weak connection with GPS in a building.when outside instand
use regeditor and do this.
at 5 and 6 i skipped it bc it may scr*w up the windows mobile.
also iam not responceble if things go wrong.i have done it many times but a mistype can mistweak it.
1. disable A-GPS
2. disable GPS logging
3. logfile name must be empty
4. old logfile name must be empty
5. maximum size of logfile must be 0
6 delete the files : \windows\GPSLogFile.txt and \windows\GPSLogFileBack.txt
7. it seems that if TomTom is installed on a fast microSD decrease the lag(have to test to be sure)
With those changes car usage will be quite perfect
Then edit registry (with TotalCommander)
Under: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\
- Drivers\GpsOneDevice\PollInterval -> 100 (default is 1000)
- Drivers\InputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
- Drivers\OutputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
- Drivers\SleepOnNoData -> 100 (default is 1000)
- Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize -> 512 (by default not present, you have to create it)
★ EnergyROM "Leo" works very good with NDrive and TomTom.

It seems that TomTom works fine for almost all the wm6.5 roms. Try to hard reset the phone. When I met this problem, I always did that and it really helped for most of the cases.
Dutty's、EnergyRom、LostinAsia and many other roms are working fine with GPS
ok, I should really have said this earlier in thread. Opinionated threads are frowned upon in XDA as they create endless long threads due to people having different views/opinions etc. I can confirm that GPS works in all roms I've used so I'd suggest if you cannot get GPS working its not a rom issue.
If so create a new thread or use the 'search' function to find threads on GPS in the general discussion forums. As for this thread, I am now closing it as its not releated to rom development

Hi to all,
reading the post about the port of Sense 2.5.2012 by Amarullz, i've aknowledged from Captain_Throwback that Topaz_S2 video drivers seems to be the best available option to improve our Raphael's performance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5727490&postcount=527
He provided also a .zip with these drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5727643&postcount=529
I (and i think a lot of other members) want to try these drivers, so we need to package them into a .cab: is there someone that can provide our community a .cab with these drivers?
Thank you everyone trying to do this.
Ok i have RecMod to .dll and added the REG not sure if works as i'm power cycling phone.
Do not install if using a stock ROM

Thank you very much!!!
EDIT:
I have tryed these drivers and sliding through tab now is really smoother, as sliding down the hometab and between cookie's pages.
I want to hear other opinions, because i think they deserve to be cooked in roms!!!

That's cool
Just installed via .cab going to need more time to see if i'm suffering placebo effect also would rather remove NeoS2007 driver set 3 from kitchen and see results.
But seems smother also a little bit snappier on TF3D 2.1 "non sense" page load.
I'll update post after cooked in
Unfortunately with my standard KPN factory ROM the Touch Pro freezed upon reboot. With the end result being a Hard-reset. Likely it is required to security unlock your device given that these are not Raphael drivers.

Probably you need to HardSPL before flashing them...
On custom ROM they works perfectly.
One note: Captain_Throwback and NRGZ28 ROMs for sure have these drivers cooked in, so if you use one of their ROM you don't need to install them again.
Works fine for me on NRG Leo 21892 ROM. It is hard to judge, but it does seem to be a bit snappier with the new drivers.
And what about video performance ? Anybody measured the speed of those drivers vs the "old" ones ?

Not sure how to read it as slightly lower on 2 but way higher on 1.
I never really trust tests as so many variables you never get the same result twice Also not enough to go on since opengl isn't only effected by drivers.

been testing for about 3 hours.....SBP MS seems snappier
Today managed to get testing via cooking:
Placed links as big screenshots.
Topaz Left - Neo Right
TeastOpenGL : http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4455559296_a2e08bec99_b.jpg
CorePlayer : http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4455559452_6b2d5ddcb2_o.png
This was a very fair test flash settle OpenGL then CorePlayer on both.
Yet as i previously said i can't go fully on benchmarks as not only OpenGL to take into account with the drivers.
Topaz seems snappier but is lower in results.
Just thought may be interesting and had a boring Monday

Thanks for sharing. The way folks seem to be migrating to the S2 drivers, you would think the improvement was convincing, yet these benchmarks indicate otherwise...

Yes, you can install them without problems if you already installed a custom rom...and if you don't like them you can uninstall...
