Hi, I put the I-Mate 1.40 WWE on my XDA IIs they other day. I'm just trying to over-write the BTWizardprofiles.dll file to allow my PDA to use an external modem. I have found that all the dll files in the windows folder are write protected and hidden! Anybody got any ideas on how to over-write this file. I tried removing the BT tray link from my startup folder, just incase the file was in use.
ROM 1.40.00 WWE ( the latest Imate rom from the FTP site)
ROM Date 03/10/05
Radio 1.13.00
ExtRom 1.40.176 WWE
Just to add a bit more....
I've done some reading and mucked about with un-hiding the extended rom. This is not the same thing. The files that are locked are the dll files in the windows directory, specificly the blutooth dlls that you over-write with a different version that allows you to use external bluetooth modems.
Try grabbing a demo copy of Resco Explorer -- it'll let you change the R/O & hidden properties on any non-ROM file.
Thanks, I tried that. It says the file is a rom file amd won't let me delete it. I found a different way of doing it. I down loaded a cab from www dot azukla dot com slash bt3900dun.bat
So, Im still trying to work out why, with o2, everything works but with 1.40 pda2k software, the windows dlls are marked as rom files
I have cooked two completely new WM5 ROMs based on namaich ROM.
One in WWE:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Extracted_Updates/WM5_ArtZ/WM5_ArtZ_WWE.rar
and the second one customized for France:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Extracted_Updates/WM5_ArtZ/WM5_ArtZ_FRA.rar
I hope you will like them ;-)

Notes about these releases
__________________________________________________________
This version is based on "BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade_V3_by_mamaich" ROM. I have used the original package and rebuild completely this version from that point. It's really a clean version and all modifications have been already tested successfully in TuMa's and Ivan's versions.
In fact, I've been using Ivan's 4 R1 version with Widcomm BT stack, but I find this version "dirty", because many Microsoft BT stack parameters are still in the registry and I found some keys were missing (intentionally?).
Personally, I don't see the interest of using Widcomm BT stack over a version built on Microsoft's... so I decided to go back to the original BT stack. Well, I don't use a headset but I use BT to connect my BA to the audio system in my car and TomTom Navigator 5.21 at the same time. I don't have any problem with this issue.
I find WM5 runs not as fast as WM2k3 on BAs, but I cannot see really an overall difference between Ivan's release and this one.
Do not hesitate to make your comments.
Briefly, I've done the following of changes:
-New Camera 2.3 version,
-New Pocket MSN version,
-SPCS is now disable by default,
-Extended_ROM is on your SD Card and supports AutoStart,
-GPRS disconection settings, WiFi fix, Buttons Fix, Headset Today, CarKit camera patch, Speed Settings (cache and flag values),
-Registry have been cleaned (ordered and double entries deleted) and version numbers have been added
HowTo install this new version
__________________________________________________________
1.- Copy the folders "\Extended_ROM" and "\Tools" in the root of your SD Card
2.- Launch "\Tools\DOC_Tool_1.0.exe" from your SD Card to to get extra storage space under WM2005 (31Mb). This change IS reversible with "DOC_Restore_1.0.exe"
3.- Launch WM5 upgrade
You're done!
When our BA will start, it will automatically install all the CABs located in "\Storage Card\Extended_ROM", though you must validate each CAB.
Some CABS will propose you to "Restart". Click on "Cancel" to continue the Setup. Your BA will automatically restart at the end of the process.
Notes about Extended_ROM
__________________________________________________________
I recommend you to install at least these CABs in the \Extended_ROM directory:
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\Album_BA_AKU26_RC23_Midi.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\ArcsoftMMS_3.0.7.6.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\BA_OEM_PA_WModem.sa.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\BA_WW5_ScreenRotate_1.1.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\BA_WW5_SMS_Alert_fix.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\BA_WW5_Wizard2_Tweaks.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\CAB-Cyberon_Voice_Dialer_2.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\CAB-TrueFax-2.09.1-WWE-04Mar05.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\Caller_ID_BA26_Generic_WWE_RC21.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\ClearVue_2.4.386_withoutBP_OzUp.sa.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\Java_10.1.2.76_BA_WWE_unremovable.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\PVPlayer_WWE_AAC.2577.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\Signed_HTC_CameraPatch_2.3.sa.cab"
"\Storage Card\Extended_ROM\ZIP_BlueAngelAKU26_Generic_WWE_RC20.cab"

NO : port 21 it's right.
Maybe your personal firewall? If you have installed one, try to disable it before connecting.
Hi,
BT problems are sthe same as in Tuma and Ivan's ROM, still disconnect's when pressing power onn and off.

Hi guys,
According to a few post on xda-developers ( there's a very interesting post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45846&highlight=cachesize by TuMa) and wiki.xda-developers, I have used the following parameters to speed up (cache settings) our BA in my ROM:
Registry entry: 0x00001000 (=dword:1000)
Number of sectors: 4096
Cache in kilobytes (KB): 2048
as follows
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]
"EnableCache"=dword:1
"CacheSize"=dword:1000
"Flags"=dword:10046
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt]
"ReplStoreCacheSize"=dword:1000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash\FATFS]
"Flags"=dword:28
"DataCacheSize"=dword:1000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC\FATFS]
"Flags"=dword:10056
"DataCacheSize"=dword:1000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\FATFS]
"Flags"=dword:14
"DataCacheSize"=dword:1000
but after doing further tests, I have the impression that reducing
CacheSize to 1024KB my BA runs faster and smoothly.
Registry entry: 0x00000800 (=dword:800)
Number of sectors: 2048
Cache in kilobytes (KB): 1024
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]
"EnableCache"=dword:1
"CacheSize"=dword:800
"Flags"=dword:10046
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt]
"ReplStoreCacheSize"=dword:800
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash\FATFS]

"DataCacheSize"=dword:800
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC\FATFS]
"Flags"=dword:10056
"DataCacheSize"=dword:800
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\FATFS]
"Flags"=dword:14
"DataCacheSize"=dword:800
I have also modified some of the default "Flags" values, but I don't recommend you to do that if you don't know exactly what are you doing.
For further information, please check:

Please, let me know your own experiences.

FANTASTIC ROM!!
Love the new ROM & extended rom on the SD card. By the way do we have to install all cabs in extended to the device or card?
Simon
You can install the cabs where you want. I installed all the 'system' cabs (such as camera upgrade, MMS tool, etc) to the internal storage, while all the others - to the card.
Is there any method to change the boot logo? Those stripes aren't nice...
Hi guys,
I keep on testing CacheSize and DataCacheSize values and I'm very impressed with the results I get. I show some articles in MSDN which point out that increasing cache size will decrease performance especially using flash memory.
In fact, reducing values (I'm testing =dword:100 (256 in DEC) and =dword:80 (128 in DEC)) my BA works really fast... as fast as WM2k3
I do believe now the fact of increasing values up to =dword:1000 (4096 in DEC), as we were doing, it DOES decrease overall preformance.
There're also other registry key I have modified to add the following values:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\IMGFS]
"PathCacheEntries"=dword:80
"Flags"=dword:10046
"EnableWriteBack"=dword:1
"EnableDataCacheWarm"=dword:1
"EnableCacheWarm"=dword:1
"EnableCache"=dword:1
"DataCacheSize"=dword:100
"CompactionPrio256"=dword:ff
"CompactionCritPrio256"=dword:ff
"CacheSize"=dword:100
"CacheDll"="diskcache.dll"
"BufferSize"=dword:100
Please, if you can add these values and modify CacheSize and DataCacheSize in this key and all the keys I gave you previously in this thread, I would really appreciate your help.
I will post a new version on Sunday night or monday morning with the optimal values.
Concerning BT disconection at power off, I don't have a solution yet. For me it's not a big deal as I don't have a headset and when I use BT in my car with TomTom, the BA is always turned on but I keep researching.

@simonsalo
Well, install all cabs in the extended rom is not mandatory. But you need the following cabs if you want to use all possibilities of your BA:
Album_BA_AKU26_RC23_Midi.cab (this cab works with your camera)
ArcsoftMMS_3.0.7.6.cab (if you send and receive MMS)
BA_WW5_SMS_Alert_fix.cab (if you want to see the name of the person who is calling you)
Java_10.1.2.76_BA_WWE_unremovable.cab (needed for IE)
PVPlayer_WWE_AAC.2577.cab (used together with ArcsoftMMS)
Signed_HTC_CameraPatch_2.3.sa.cab (camera patch)
@_TB_TB_
This is how I add files (ie: boot splash image) into a nk.nbf file. If you feel confortable with it, you can try.
I use "IMGF tools" and "rgucomp.exe" to modify the ROM.
The process is as follows:
-With xda3nbftool.exe, I convert the original nk.nbf file into nk.nba
-With IMGF tools, I prepare the nk.nba file to antoher format so I can extract, delete, add files (You cannot replace an extinsting file for a new one if you don't delete first the old one) or make a dump of the whole ROM (all directories and files) into a directory (I use the this option). The registry is in two files: default.hv and user.hv
-Then I use "rgucomp.exe" to convert the registry (default.hv and user.hv) into a text (ASCII) file to modify the values.
-Once this is done, I convert the new ASCII files into UNICODE files and I use again "rgucomp.exe" to convert the UNICODE files into default.hv and user.hv
-I copy the new files to the dump directory to replace the old files. I also can add some new files (programs, dll, etc) to the dump directory (This is how I have updated the Camera and Pocket MSN)
-When all this is done, I compile the dump directory to build a nk.nba file.
-Finally, with xda3nbftool.exe I rebuild nk.nbf file
two thumbs up
Promptly, Thanks to Artz Efforts for new cooked WM2K5 ROM, I'm downloading... I do hope your ROM improved and solved some bugs & problems on Others ROM.
I have deleted Cache settings patch from ftp server. This patch is not need anymore with the versions actually on the server. The patch has been already included!
Hi ArtZ
Can i use your cab to setting my device using Ivan v4R1 now??
can you link to IMGF tools please

Artz,
Thanks for this ROM. Seems very stable to me. Is there any way to get the UNLOCK feature as available on TuMA 1.3 and 1.4 on this ROM?
Just tried your cache patch and will report back after some experience.
I wanted to have mp3 and wav ringtones on my 8125 from my old files but i dont want to use the phone memory since all ringtones are being copied there .... i searched the forum and found this registry tweak in REGESTRY WIZARD thread :
Follow these steps to change the default ringtone location:
1) Locate
HKEY_CURRENT_USER ControlPanel Sound Categories RingDirectory registry key
2) Edit the default value of "WindowsRings" to "Storage Card"
3) Place those ringtones into Storage Card
i did that and i created the folder on my storage card but the files still dont show in sound section of my phone...
Can somebody guide me in the right direction?
thanks
Forget the registry hacks.
The only thing I did to use MP3 ringtones on my Wizard is this:
- Create a "My Documents" folder on your Storage Card (so you get \Storage Card\My Documents)
- Copy your MP3 ringtones to the My Documents folder.
Regards,
Molski
p.s. This does not work with Profile programs, for selecting different profiles, but it does work on a "standard Wizard"
this registry hack didn't work for me neither, can someone enlighten us, on how to use ring tones from the storage card?
worked!!!

I did the way you mentioned and it worked!! just wondering if there's ne way where i can keep diff ring tones in diff folder within storage card\my documents\my ringtones\* diff folders * and windows still pick all those tones?
Can anybody help me with a problem
I want to autoinstall some cab files on a wm5 wizard. (Like tomtom does under wm2003)
Problem WM5 don't want to install!!!
I have used the 2577 folder and the autorun from tomtom, renamed my cabs to the tomtom names (ttn.cab, gps.cab etc) this works fine under wm2003 but will not install on wm5
Does Anybody have a hacked autorun.exe that installs cabs on wm5 or
a Hacked extended rom autorun.exe that reads the config from the storage card instead of the extended rom.
The second option would be better as then all i have to do is re-write the config for different sd-cards
Please Please Please help me all you programmers/hackers/reverse-engineers or whatever you would lke to be known as.
Many thanks in advance
Autorun reads the ini from the /ExtendedRom/ location and that is hardcoded..
I can't be changed because it will render the certificate invallid.
However you can use:
PocketPC Installer ( http://www.pocketpctoolkit.com/index.htm )
It will make an autorun.exe for you (to install cabs registry keys etc etc..)

Doesn't Autoconfig.exe just reads the Config.txt file from the same directory?
Just change the Config.txt so it fits your needs and I think you will be done.
Only problem is that every app will be installed to Main Storage.
I actually have to know this, but cannot try it right now, my device is flashing one of my test Roms

The one from orange (NLD) doesn't. It reads the one in the extended rom.
Have disassebled it with IDA-pro, there I saw the strings pointing to the extended rom.
After patching it I got a certificate error when I tried to run it..
