Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.2 Beta)

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

If ur operator not in the list just delete all file in OPERATOR folder, cos the MMS_ENABLE.CAB already build a standar changeable MMS account.

Many thanks helmi!!! ... can't wait to flash the new rom

Thanks our Gods(helmi_c & Mamaich)

hi all
Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question but i read all of the time about not restoring a full backup when upgrading a rom but above it says restoring if lower than AKU3.0 will cause problems.
I have 1.3 installed and would love to upgrade to this latest beta but the thought of reinstalling everything again is putting me off.
Is it possible to be able to upgrade the rom and use a backup from my 1.3 machine (either from spb Backup or the built in backup)
thanks in advance

I have succesfully restored all my programs using the rom-upgrade tool by Sprite, which can be used with sprite backup 5. Please note that you should exclude your PIM databases, as they will be different. But you can of course always sync these back from outlook via activesync. This will always work.

Helmi-
Thanks for the great roms. I'm currently using 1.3 with an 8MB page file...No real need for me to change, since i just spent a long time yesterday doing the whole install/reinstall/customize thing.
What I would switch for, and you talked about it before, is a new version of the AKU2.3 build. I much prefer MS Voice Command and there isn't too much need for 3.2 as of yet (not many applications for it...)
Are you still working on something like that?
THanks again!

32 pool + 16 ramdisk works fantastic. BT, WiFi, Media, Camera, iGo GPS flies, phone on first ring.
Thanks Guru Mamaich :idea:
Thanks Master Helmi 8)

AG registry fix
"Audiogateway Registry Fix"
What is this fix exactly?

Thanks Helmi.
32MB paging pool and 16 MB Ramdisk is my choice.

Hi Helmi
in 32 MB paging pool and RAMdisk 16 MB version.
The RAM should be 77 MB , but it is exactly only 61 MB.
I think 16 MB RAM is hidden somewhere.
But all works fine ,It's great.
Thanks.

.
...

incredible speed!
but I have a problem with SmartX, when i try to configure it show the error "SmartX service not activate". And I cannot activate it, because the check is disable and i cannot tap on it.

This one is really fast!
Even the IE is fast!
Great, thanks! Keep up the good work.

Nothing new, practically... Yes, except the mem.pool size, but thats a thing everyone can do

My personal benchmark
This is realy great :!: I think we now have the WM5 features on our BA with better then WM2003 speed.
Since Helmi'c 1.2 version i keep track of the tomtom startup time after initial flash, app's install and configuring.
on 1.2 : over 30 seconds
on 1.3 : about 18 seconds
on 1.3.2: about 9 seconds 8)
on 1.2 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3.2 with PHM overclocking: 8 secs
Best speed ever!

I confirm that memory available for programs is only 61 MB, instead of 77MB.
back on the 1.3.1 thread, I posted my suggestions to map the Hardware buttons with the 'mail' icon to left softkey, and the one with the IE icon to right softkey. I think someone replied me, but looks like I have been misunderstood. I do NOT mean to change the functions associated to the softkeys, I want to MAP the HW keys to them.
I know how to do it, but it would be good if they were already set up like this out of the box.
And having the backlight NOT turn off while on external power.
Kudos to Helmi and Mamaich! I guess we will see 1.3.2a or 1.3.3 soon, because of these missing 16MB...

Some ideas, my opinions

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

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

hmm... If we use 32mb Page pool version it should 61mb left, for 16mb page pool it will 77mb...
about hardkey, I think it whould be wiser to make it standar Joe, to avoid confusion among user, cos it so cuztomize..
and about backlight, maybe some AddOn/Patch? I'll try to learn about it.
currently I'm workin on AKU2.6 as a replacement for my old AKU2.3 as so many user complain about compability issues with some app (MS Voice Command for example) currently not workin is sms with this aku2.6 rom after that I'll go back to aku3.2 :wink:

Got hold of version 1.32 of Helmi's rom. Here's my boot time right after installing of rom, without any other software I normally install myself.
1. Paging 32MB and Ramdisk 16MB - 36 seconds
2. Paging 16MB and Ramdisk 32MB - 35 seconds
I decided to stick with 2.
Overall, what I can say is that it's very fast now. I use to need to wait for tmail.exe to open but now, it opens instantly.
I'm very happy with the speed now. I can basically leave with this now. Cheers to Helmi and to the guy who found out about the paging size.

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

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

I'm using SPB Backup as my default backup program. What's happen when I use a PIM backup of AKU 3.2 to restore in my downgraded AKU 2.6? Do I need to sync my PIM data with M$ Outlook b4 downgrade?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
hmm... I can't be sure, but learn by old AKU2.3 experience, the pim data is modify in AKU3 so i think its better to sync first. then u can try if it work or not bro.

The AKU 3.2 has a 'Bluetooth hardware error' error, thus I'll propably downgrade to 2.6 :/

it's possible to flash this rom without hard reset?
I have Helmi Aku 1.3.2 beta but I have some problems with phone and WiFi.

Nope, its not possible :/

Man, I just upgraded 2 days ago from WM2003SE to AK3.2 v1.3.1.
Now, I see AK3.2 v1.3.2 & AK2.6
Wonder which one should I try. I do miss using Voice Command, but I know I have TT6 working on 1.3.1 nicely.
Hmm..... :roll:
2 question:
1) Anyone got a .cab for Canada Rogers&AT&T GPRS setting? Can this be included in the future for Operator list?
2) With AK2.6 or AK3.2 v1.3.2, do I still need to modify at address 0437072 of nk.nba from (00 00 20 00) to (00 00 80 00), or is that done already? I did that for 1.3.1, or would that actually made it slower?

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

there's no need to apply Paging Pool with both rom (1.3.2 & 1.1.2).

Wow, just upgraded to 1.32 AKU 3.2 with 16mb paging file size yesterday and now AKU 2.6 with 16mb paging file size is ready.
No time to try this out. Maybe next week.
Anyway, 1.32 AKU 3.2 is works very fast for me now, everything ok except for no M$ Voice Command.
Hope to hear from the rest of you on the results of this new upgraded rom.

Hi,
couldn't wait to test that release. My first try on WM5 was helmis AKU32 v13, which runned smoothly after applying the poolsize patch. But my most valuable thing, MS Voice Command, didnt run on that AKU since PIM Database format changed. Then tried AKU23 from Helmi wich worked acceptable with some problems and Voice Command worked well. As AKU26 with all fixes from AKU32 was here I gave it an instant try and yes that was it.
Haven't found any problems/bugs playing around yesterday night, that helmi dont know allready. Voice Command works fine, which is the most important thing for me. I have the feeling that ActiveSync is much more stable than in AKU23 or 32. Cradle in/out again and again and no errors on my desktop. I got the Microsoft GPS Multiplexer running, didnt work for me in AKU32 or AKU23 from helmi
Helmi I could kiss your ass for that release!
EDIT:
Minor Problems: Playing an MP3 from SD-Card and suspend/turn on again hangs the Shell, RNDIS doesnt detect when removed from cradle (IP Adress is still up), turn on and off resets that behaviour.

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

Well, i tested it for you. Using the Systrayicons of Bluetooth and WLAN has worked turning booth on and off. Using Comm Manager it only works well if you turn BT and WLAN on and off via systray once after a soft reset. If you don't do that Comm Manager will make trouble. Flightmode works only to disable the phone, enableing it again didnt work for me (tested twice). But Flightmode.exe was able to turn on the phone again after some seconds.
Bluetooth does not disble when device suspends and WLAN disables when device suspends and reanables if you resume, that the normal behaviour of my last WM2003. Im going to check GPRS later the day.
TomTom5 boots up in around 8/9 seconds with "Deutschland-Map"
EDIT: GPRS short connect test works, no Connect link in the GPRS Ballontip, but when you open a URL it begins the connection. I had to change the Search GPRS an Connection to Search GPRS on Radiostartup to get it connect successful.
By that i realised that after i swaped my SIM Cards, the first Bootup show R: NONE G: NONE, and Radiomodul doesnt work. After one Softreset everythings fine again.

TomTom6 boots up in 10 sec (tested with North America maps)
But closing TT6 does not disable bluetooth connection (AK3.2 v1.3.1 does it)

What about sms backup from Helmi's 1.32 rom using Spb backup, can it be restored to this rom?
Have anyone of you tested it?
Thanks.

my system backup via spb backup yielded errors. i had to reinstall all my apps.
i opted to go back (or forward?) to 1.3.2. had problems with messaging, worldmate pro, hanging, speed (doesn't feel like it's with a 16mb paging pool).

Anyone have a solution or tip for that?
With Helmi AKU32 v13 installed my display did not turn on when I received a sms (device suspended), but played sound and showed notification (after manually turning on display)
This "feature" is missing in this AKU26 release, what have I to do to restore this behavior? I searched the forum but could't find answers to that. I guess it must be a notification option or something in power settings?
Thanks in advance.

With this greatest rom when I receive an sms my pda plays only the sound and the screen doesn't turn on.. until I press power button.

I'm facing the same thing, i.e. with incoming sms, led flashes red, pda plays sound and screen doesn't turn on, until power button is pressed.
Maybe this behaviour is good because at times, I don't realise an sms had been received and the screen is turned on, and programs on the pda are started without me knowing.
Cheers!

Issues in WM6 Crossbow (WWE) for HTC Wizard v5.2.660

I have downloaded and installed above mentioned ROM upgrade and have the following issues where I hope someone can help:
1.) Camera does not work.
2.) GPRS works but cannot disconnect the connection - option is missing
3.) Today screen looks nothing like the one you constantly see on the web for WM 6 (big icons missing etc)
Does anyone have experience with this ROM ? I noticed there are a lot of WM6 versions around and perhaps I am just using the wrong one

1) Known problem, read the WM6 issues thread
2) This is a registry tweak you have to enable
3) What you see on the screenshots is the Smartphone Edition
Molski

3) Are you sure you're not looking at the Smartphone editions of WM6?
A couple more issues that I can't seem to find answers/solutions to (and yes, I've searched and searched)... any help on these?
4) Is there any way to change the softkey from delete to new in messaging?
5) Both the standard and Eten dialers display the last called number, but you can't actually dial it, either by pressing the green button or the talk button.

molski, can you tell me where to find this registry tweak for the GPRS??
I have been trying use the search option but couldnt find it?
what is by the way the difference between:
molski rom
underground
most beatifull

• Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the "GPRS Balloon Tip"
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
Molski Rom = WM5 AKU3.3 Crossbow Style Rom
Underground = WM6 Crossbow Rom

GPS in the menus?

Hi,
I installed the upgrade for swedish Trinity yesterday and got the GPS working with Google Maps.
ROM ver: 1.23.413.2
Radio ver: 1.38.00.11
I just wonder if there's supposed to be any info or settings about the gps-chip in the menus? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the Windows Mobile settings- or program-screens.
And if not, is the gps inactive (non power-consuming) until a program accesses it? Or how does it work?
Many questions - thanx for a great forum and for any help!
Markus

I guess that rom is pretty much the same as the norwegian one that I use.
There is no GPS menu that I could find, and the GPS is only running when a programs uses it.

Hello,
you can enable the GPS menu and icon using Trinityhacks 0.1.

GPRS woes?

So I am using C_Shekhars wonderful ROM stickied at the top of this forum.. (quickly goes to copy and paste)
ROM: 7.0c.40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0)
dated: 12.Nov.2007
OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0)
Now I can connect to the internet fine but my MMS is a no go and I also can't get a location on the google mobile maps which is meant to track you via GPRS and show your location.
Adding these two problems together would suggest my GPRS is a little bit broked, can any one shed some light on this for me as I love this ROM and apart from this everything is finally just the way I want it.
Thanks
