WM5 - no longer functional... - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

It seems that the helmi's AKU 2.6 ROM is broken - after some time more and more things simply stop to work. The HR does not help, I think that reflashing would be necessary...
What stopped working so far:
1) psShutXp - no longer works, it only locks the screen without redrawing the interface
2) Conduits Pocket Player - it casts exceptions randomly during 'regular' tapping around its interface. Additionally the program seem to get blind after some time for plugins/dll files - they simply 'disappear' for the program; it did work perfectly with good'ol AKU 2.3
3) Windows Media Player - it does not run at all(!!)
4) BT Manager - 'forgets' sometimes that it was paired with devices
5) All Resco products fail to 'see'/'recognize' their internal image files (Resco Keyboard claims there is no skin, PhotoViewer shows misplaced icons)
6) the keyboard slowdown appeared (not the lag, but slowdown - the keyboard misses the keypresses + all on-screen texts 'blink' [they are being redrawn, actually])
7) after some soft - resets the device no longer boots
I think I will have to 'flash down' to some older releases (WM2003 - who knows ;/ ), since 3.2 is broken as well ;/
OR a RAMDisk - free version would be welcome... (I still claim its due to the not-clearing RAM)

Wiki: WM5 Buggy Thrid Party Software

I have started this thread so that we can document some intresting behavior of third party software under our WM5 Build. As well as WM5 Behavior.
We need to be fair as we all know that the WM5 version that we have has not been released and some software might work on WM5 but has not been built for it.
I have called it Buggy and maybe that is not a good choice of words, however maybe it is.
So if you wrote the software it was not my or any other person who posts here intention to clam that its is your software or even WM5 that is buggy.
Fact is somehow something is wrong.
I hope that owners of Offical versions of WM5 Can verify if they have found the same issues.
Resco Explorer 2005 V 5.21

I use 5.13 and it works fine...
NiceStart. It doesn't work at all when the PPC's turned on - I only get the WM5 password screen. Then again I don't need it anymore since the SMS messages don't turn on the unit, they just send the sound, a big improvement!
1-Pass Version 1.1.1
1-Pass is a nice application that allows you to lock your device and be able to enter it either by using preset hardware key combinations or a numaric password.
I have used this back with rom 1.06 and like it.
It seems that it conflicts with the built in appliacton password found under
Start -> settings -> Password
They both seem to use the same space as when you configure I-Pass for a password you also set the Password application.
Thus after a reboot or sleep mode you are confronted with the Password application screen and can not use the I-pass screen. Hardware keys that you set can not be used. (thus you need to finger around and enter the numeric password.

Hey Guys!
There's just one "bug" that really anoys me:
On startup (after device was in standby for a longer time) WM 5.0 needs some time to react. I think, this is no problem of software but of storage. This thought seems to be right, because the more storage the today Pluginns need, the longer it takes until it reacts. I have uninstalled PocketPlus, because it takes up to 4 (!) seconds on restart. Can you copy that?
Nope, I don't have that problem. I have PocketPlus without any meters, only a few icons and the taskbar battery monitor. I remember I read somewhere here that if you use any of the meters, especially storage meters, it will take time.
Bejewelled 2 doesn't install saying that my version of Windows Mobile is too old... :shock:
Also the O2 Application Software supplied with the XDAs doesn't install either, so no ZIP or fax software
Resco Explorer 5.15 works fine though... so I won't upgrade :roll:
I can not change the theme of my desktop on WM5, even if i select the theme from SpbPocketPlus, it doesn't change.

Thanks part
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?

Warning: Do not Install Flip-IT

Having spent the day trying to find out what was wrong with my D2, I found out that Flipit (the Gyrator alternative that is used by Dutty in his HD roms, and elsewhere in the xda community) is not compatible!
Symptoms:
- HTC Volume Control is gone, with the device reverting back to the default volume control by windows
- G-sensor is disabled
- USB notification window does not appear when you plug the device
Cause:
- Flip-IT prevents HTCStartUp.exe from being executed (the latter is responsible ensuring that most HTC enhancements are applied to WM)
Resolution:
- Just uninstall Flip-It
I suspect that there might be other applications out there that interfere with HTCStartUp. If you find one post it below
Dutty's 10 Button Black Comm manager doesn't seem to work on the D2 either

nah perfect isnt the right word.. but it does works...
i wish Flip IT would work on my D2!! couse FlipIT was perfect!
changescreen is a way slower then FlipIt and therefore it makes troubles with cprog.exe (phone application) sometimes.. if i receive a call sometimes i cant pick up becouse changescreen keeps rotating away
and YES I HAVE listed cprog in Exeptionslist! the reason is just, changescreen is to slow to prevent rotating cprog and messes it up i guess!

I am offering $30 for simplistic, custom clean 6.5.x WWE ROM

To all the Blackstone chefs. I am offering a donation of $30 thru PayPal for a very simplistic, custom clean WWE ROM. If more chefs are willing to build this I would donate the second two that I like best consolatory prize of $5 for encouragement of their efforts.
Normally I wouldn’t bother other people with this kind of task, but my own efforts at using the kitchen in all of its incarnations have failed miserably.

- Windows Mobile 6.5.x ROM with the new interface – the large Start and OK/Close buttons on the bottom. It should use a black flat skin for the bottom and top bar, like this one:

I would appreciate any and all comments.
I have cooked a ROM that came near to what you want.... but it's in German.
ht*p://w*w.htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=5662
I think you need one in WWE.
I try to cook one for you...
Mark...
Yes, should be WWE and thank you.
Energy Android
Have you tried this? It has Harem installed which can be nicely ignored, but i believe it's desolate otherwise.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625330
Yes I have tried that ROM and there were some issues, I don't recall at the mment what it was. I will try it again and see.
So I checked again the recomended *Energy Android Super Lite ROM* and it just doesn't work for me for few reasons.
- It doesn't have the Start, Close/OK buttons on the bottombar.
- Atleast I couldn't disable the DualBoot app
- When changing the Start menu skin to make it 1-row, the Start menu stopped working, and the skin was OK in other ROMs
And here is some addition to my requerements for the ROM, that I just forgot to list before:
- The Default Windows keyboard, no touch keyboard (can be installed if needed)
- 20 MB Pagepool
- USB to PC should be present (it is just too usefull to omit)
- Should have .NET Framework 3.5
- The ROM should be UC capable
I'd be interested in this too, I'll keep an eye on this thread.
here is your rom:

let me know if you like it, and if you want something different, i will be your personal cooker
Well...Great! One thing though. After flash it wouldn't start and won't even allow me to Hard Reset. Thankfully I can still enter BootLoader.
Thanks for your work anyway.
base on your fist post, I think its best for you to buy a phone something
that does not resemble a windows based PPC.
i seriously think you'll attract more bogus people pretending to be a cook
rather than attract the attention of Real Cooks here in XDA.
I want a Clear ROM also
I know few ROM`s that are super cool i mean fast,stable and everything is fine the things i don`t like is ONLY that they have installed APPS that i don`t use and i never will use, so if someone can Edit this ROM`s i mean just to delate all APPs that i don`t need will save from the Main Memory and will be just perfect.

See my point? I dont Want a HTC Phone or Windows Phone I DO Want a Pocket PC.
But hey, you can still disable Sense/Manila from the today and put the hell you want in your HD.
I don't get it, you just want to get rid all that things for what? To go to the Memory Settings and see that you have a looooot of free memory?!? For what?
It's like having a 8GBram with a 1TB disk computer and never use 100% it's of the capabilities...

No seriosly - it's not about that. Why have Manilla and all other kinds of software in the first place if you will use something else anyway? Now I don't get that. It's about a clean slate (Now that's a name for a ROM - Tabula Rasa).

[ROM] [WWE] [6.5.3] [28244] [Clean] [v1.10] [2011/02/03] Twinge's ROM

Hello Everyone,
This is a ROM I have been working on over the past month or so and I have finally got it to the point where I feel it is reliable and polished enough to let others try. I built this ROM because I wanted one that was:
- Quick
- Reliable
- Small
- Free from TouchFlo and the Panel Manager
After some work this is what I have come up with. It is a reasonably clean install with some basic packages I could not live without. I haven't cooked in a lot of stuff that I can easily add with CABs, but did include a couple packages that are a pain for me to configure the way I like them from a CAB like Total Commander or that are very small like the HTC Audio Booster and Radio. The X Pannel Button is linked to Microsoft Task Manager so you have a quick access to a task manager at any time. Most of the parts of the ROM, for example the Dialer and CHome use the stock from the SYS it was cooked with. If you want to change things like these it should be as easy as installing your favorite CAB after flashing. The kitchen for the ROM is included so if you want to make changes you can re-cook my ROM with your own changes.
Flashing:
1) Ensure you have Hard-SPL on your X1 or you will destroy it.
2) Wipe your device with Task29.
3) Flash kovsimg using the SD or ActiveSync Method.
4) Hard Reset your device (press and hold the Right and Left softkeys and hit, but do not hold, the power button)
5) Finish the first boot and initial setup. Your X1 will reset itself when this is complete.
6) Once reset is complete you are done!
Reporting bugs:
- If you find any bugs please post them here.
- If you did not Task29 before flashing or Hard Reset after flashing please do that before posting a bug report.
- Indicate how I can reproduce the bug. If I cannot get the problem to occur then I cannot fix it.
- Don't report things that you want to be cooked in but are not as a bug. If I didn't add a particular application it is likely because I did not want it there or it is very easily installed from a CAB.
Changelog:
Code:
[Version 1.10 2011/02/03]
-Removed MM Task Manager and replaced it with the Microsoft Task Manager.
-Programs that wouldn't load or re-load should work correctly now.

can you put pictures of your rom?
thank you so much for the Rom, this is exactly what i've been looking for.
downloaded and flashed, will report back after some typical usage and testing.
A picture would help. And clean as in the build is stock-like or its just a name?
And 28244 is the new build?
So is it WinMO 6.5 or 6.5.x?
This is perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

It's 6.5.3 build 28244. It's one of the cleanest WM6.5.3-ROMs I've found so far. The only thing that I miss is the HTC USBtoPC PopUp. There's no CAB for it, and it's really handy.

Screen shots would help..and also, this is the Titanium version, am I right?? Can there be another 1 without the Titanium...its pretty bad..THANX!
@ circleofomega
yes, it defaults to Titanium but you could easily change that after first boot.
I've been using this rom for a few hours (with Radio 1.16) and it is pretty light and fast. After cold boot, free RAM is around 145 mb. Battery life is also on the better side of the roms I've tested (with the best one being Christian's 5.723 Clean) and is around 1 percent of battery life, every 2 hours.
As for the screenshots, I dont think it's really needed, this rom is Clean as in Stock and minimally altered, so the look is the standard WM Titanium.

Thanx a lot man....wil flash it anytime soon,,,
Just to answer any questions/comments so far,
- I have never done screen shots on WM but when my time permits I will look into how it is done and try to get some up for people to see.
- Build is 28244, the recent release from DFT.
- WinMO version would be 6.5.3 (this is the large finger firendly version with the start menu on the bottom left).
Information
Hello, It's nice to see another developer who built the clean rom..
I found bug or something very distrubing me,
- There is lag time when i type sms n this always happen.
i have installed sms lag fix that i found in this forum n restart but nothing happen.a lag time is always happen when i type sms....
Please help me. thx
where to find working dialer skin (like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6424107&postcount=1098)....
Fantastic Rom
I just wanted to say this has to be one of, if not the, fastest and most stable roms i have used. I have searched for ages looking for a 100% clean rom, and this is as close to it as anyone will get. At first boot, uses less ram than official R3a. amazing stuff Twinge, keep it up. Since Willy's X1 got stolen and he wont be updating, i thought i was stuffed...
Downloading now - I'm really looking forward to it - I was really hoping for a lite/clean ROM without Panels but a Task Manager instead, with the 1% driver installed and some of those other nice things like Lauretti's Roms have - but hopefully without the iGO8 crashes that seem to always happen lately. Here's hoping
It's so much nicer to be able to work from a base like this rather than having to do all those customizations manually on each update/hardreset - thank you
Thanks a lot,
Peter
Strange thing happened today - I received several new messages (SMS) but "Text Messages" states I haven't. I can read all messages with SMS-Chat (alternative application) but the standard SMS-application always says "0 items"...
Budisupriadi - Start>Settings>Personal>Input>Word Completion and then set to Suggest after 4 letters, suggest 4 words, deselect "Add a space after word" and deselect "Enable Auto Correct". I have always done this on every rom I use to help reduce/eliminate lag during text input (not just SMS) and it seems to make a big difference. If it works for you, or anyone else reading this, let me know and I will make these the default options in the next version.
Sirkula - Those skins look to be for a HTC dialer of some sorts. I don't beleive the built in WM6 dialer (the one I use in this ROM) is even skinnable. You would want to look for a dialer that is skinable. Maybe one from the X2 or another HTC phone. CABs should be available in the X1 forums, I remember I used the X2 dialer for a bit and got the CAB here. It looked prettier but did't perform as well as I wanted to I reverted back to the reliable default WM one.
FezzFest - Are you saying that the number of new Text Mesagges on the Titanium home screen doesn't update? If that is correct can you see them with the default SMS client or do they not show when you use that? I am not sure where to even look since you are using a 3rd party SMS app I don't know how that affects the fuction of the ROM and I don't know how to re-produce the problem. Has this issue happened to you (or anyone else reading this) without this SMS-Chat installed?
Just read this thread and am definately tempted to try it out but can't until next week (too many commitments at the moment).
The reason i've replied... for screen shots do a search for MyMobiler which is free and will give you good screen grabs on the desktop (when connected to activsync on USB)
I've been using this rom for 2 days now and I must say its very light and fast and its kind of refreshing to use titanium, haven't used it for a long time and I managed to configure it the way I like it but I can't find working dialer cuz default one is ugly ....tried X2 dialer but it messes up top task bar...I know you are trying to keep it as clean as possible but you must do something about that dialer ...
