I recently discovered that there is now a file in the Uploads/Blueangel/ directory of the xda-developers FTP named BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom.rar
The file (and the contents extracted) can now be found here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Updates/BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom
(EDIT MDAIIIUser: Moved file and corrected link)
This is a Generic 1.40 Rom with cabs from 1.40.110 Extended Rom.
I would like to thank whoever put this file up.
Note that the extrom folder in the archive contains some cabs that would not be included in a standard extended rom (eg SPB GPRS Monitor, the Extended Rom unlocker, etc), as well as some updated HTC cabs, so it is a requirement to cook your Extended rom yourself.
The cabs not natively a part of the 1.40.110 Extended Rom are:
AudioPatch_Media.CAB
CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB
dsp_en.cab
GPRSMonitor_2.20_WWE_BA_20041011.sa.CAB
TotalCmd.arm.CAB
xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB
Examples of HTC Extended Rom Upgrades found in this archive:
Old Album: 2.51 Build 16894
New Album: 2.51 Build 18454
Old 1.20 Photo Contacts: 1.20 Build 17957
New Photo Contacts: 1.20 Build 19167
The new Album now opens Photo Contacts 1.20 with the assign to contact command, where it previously did not.
The radio rom included in the archive is 1.12, it seems to be MDAIIIUser's 1.12 Type I Radio Rom.
The 1.40 nk.nbf is seemingly Type I: it will work with the old xda3nbftool.
This rom has Windows Media Player 10, and it seems to be a bit better on the battery. Mamaich (in a post below) has already found some issues, however. (Typical)
UPDATE:
The MMS cab file (CAB-ArcsoftMMS-20022-Magician-Generic-ENU-08Mar05.cab) included in this update causes the hardware phone end button to lock up many people's blue angels during a call. It is highly recommended that you do not use this new cab, and install the older version instead, accessable here:
ftp://xda:[email protected] Media Messaging/MMS_2.0.0.16_BA_1123.CAB
Just flashed the NK.NBF (CE ROM) portion on my PDA2k.
Boots up fine as 1.40.00 WWE on diagnostics screen.
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.2.6.0).
Device Information page shows:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Windows Media Player 10.0 build 15045.
Camera applet integrated in ROM, version 2.21 (build 19307)
Broadcom Bluetooth 1.0.0 build 3900, same versions across all Bluetooth files.
Single "G" icon.
All seems well.
Now, I'm going to piece back the Extended ROM with my customizations and get it going.
This ROM has several minor problems. For example ringer.wma sounds ugly, backlight is maximal after you leave camera app, but it seems that this ROM drains battery a bit less then previous versions, even with 1.12 radio ROM.
To fix camera you can replace camera.exe with a version taken from old ROM, I use EXE from 1.31
And this ROM supports 2 different camera chips: ADCM2650 (old, my device has it) and OV7660. So maybe it is designed for new BAs with an improved camera. Though both chips are limited at 640x480.
Album_BlueAngelAKU26_Generic_WWE_RC20.CAB, Album application
AudioPatch_Media.CAB, changes audio priority to 80
BA_OEM_PA_Remove_WiFi_Logo.sa.CAB, remove extraneous Wi-Fi logo from top status bar
BA_Version_140.CAB, embeds version number for Device Information applet
Broadcom-Corporation-BT-PPC-AV-Upgrade.cab, apparently upgrades Bluetooth stack
Button9.CAB, programs extra button on slide-out keyboard
CAB-ArcsoftMMS-20022-Magician-Generic-ENU-08Mar05.cab, MMS add-on for Messaging applet
Caller_ID_BlueAngelAKU26_Generic_WWE_RC20.CAB, IA Caller ID
CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB, related to Phone applet (?)
CV2.41.386_wwe.CAB, ClearVue PowerPoint and PDF Viewer
Default_JMM101257_WWE_1004.CAB, Java Midlet Manager
dsp_en.cab, "Bass & Trable [sic]" (?) (likely customized)
GPRSMonitor_2.20_WWE_BA_20041011.sa.CAB, GPRS monitor
KSE_Fax_v2.09_BA_WWE_0720_unremovable.CAB, KSE Fax for CSD
MIDI561.sa.CAB, MIDI ringtone support
SetDefaultSMS.CAB, default to SMS in Inbox
TotalCmd.arm.CAB, Total Commander (likely customized)
VideoMMSB12_BA.sa.CAB, Video MMS applet
xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB, Extended ROM tools (likely customized)
So what improvements is this rom supposed to have?
(I've installed it now)
mamaich, how can you tell what camera chip a BA has?
Broadcom-Corporation-BT-PPC-AV-Upgrade.cab - adds HID and high quality audio BT profiles
CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB - my program, adds "contacts" button to dialer, it is not the latest build
dsp_en.cab - adds "bass&treble" customization, it works on BA and Magician devices
I don't know what are the improvements in this ROM, except that it should be more stable (because it has a newer kernel build with MS patches integrated), it has a built-in 3900 BT, so you don't need to install it and lose about 1Mb of storage space, has WMP10, and this ROM is produced by HTC (or MS) and not created from other ROMs parts like I did with 1.33.51 ROM.
I have not tested the sound quality over BT headset, maybe it is improved.

A quick Question, if I install the radio and rom, does it clear out extended rom as part of the upgrade, or do I have to do that manually first, so that it doesnt restore all my old 1.2 cabs
Click to expand...

It does not touch your extended rom. I would recommend cooking your rom first, then installing the upgrade.
Thanks, mamaich for your answers.
could someone be kind enough to advise
I have tried to read through pages and pages of threads to sort out my problem....
I have been helping pass on the knowledge I have learned from you guys to others when I see them ask... and understand how it must frustrate when people ask already answered questions..
BUT.. I cannot find the answers and I am sure the answer will help many people....
I have downloaded this ROM and would dearly like to use it. I have however a number of questions if I may..:
1) I like what I see in the extended rom on this download can I just use it.. if so how and can you see any problems?
2) I cannot seem to use the rom as it sais wrong country error. I have read may threads and have downloaded xda3nbftool as described by them but cant seem to understand how to fix the file for my country code.. I have the information and this is as follows.....
Model = Ph20B
Minor version =OB
Language code = WWE
Minor = R
Operator code = O2_001
Rom version =1.31.00
Minor = 00
Extended Rom version = 1.31.139 WWE
Radio version = 1.12.00
Please help guys I am sure there will be many people struggling as I am.
thanks in advance
Stay happy
Magpie2000k
magpie2000k, I do not recommend using the current extended rom. Some of the cabs are retail software, and unless you are willing to pay for them, you will be installing time-expiring trials. One of the included cabs is even corrupted. That doesn't even take into account that carrier customization is missing, among other things. I would recommend taking the time to understand how to cook your rom properly and then make your own rom using some of the cabs included so that it properly fits your needs.
As for installing the CE Rom upgrade, I can be of help to you for that. First, since you already have the 1.12 Rom installed, remove the radio_.nbf file that is included in the archive, so that it doesn't unnecessarily upgrade again.
OK, now extract the attached rar file and put them in the same folder as the upgrade, then run fix.bat. Then run BAUpgradeUT.exe and voila.
One again, however, I stress that you should cook your rom before doing this.
Thanks
You are a star.. I take it using the fix bat you created for me the change from my details.... very kind of you..
I have tried to cook the rom. have read and thought I understood all of what was on wiki I have read every page, but when I do what I think it sais it doesnt work.. for instance I want to put the Audio patch enclosed in the supplied extended rom and it doesnt happen when I try and change the config text file it wont save it.. I have unlocked extended rom etc etc etc..
I feel that when I eventualy learn I will write a very very simple version of how to do it and put it up as reference to all...
If you can help in any way on that I would greatly appreciate it..
To all that dont know THE LASTONE is a star
stay happy
Once again thanks

The ugly sound of ringer.wma is caused by the new album application. I tried installing another Album version (older) and the sound of ringer.wma is different! So, maybe they think that this sound as we hear it is more beautiful????
Funny that the Album messes with .wma files...strange, but funny.
But oh well, we all know how funny the BA can behave sometimes...
Jep, I really don't get it right, but it seems to do with any of the dll's installed. Something about that, but why??? Eat me.....
By the way, Happygoat and others. Today I talked to the dealer right here in the Netherlands and the told me they would send me the upgrade on CD to me tomorrow or monday. They confirmed that the version was
ROM1.40
Radio1.12
Ext ROM 1.40.110
Hope I will receive it soon!
That's good. I guess we can use it to ensure we have all the proper extended rom stuff.
Thanks, j_metselaars.
As allready mentioned, there are some minor probs with a few applications in this Extended_ROM.
The most annoying bug is the camera. When used, it sets to the highest brightness, and doesn't set back to your default brightness after use. I cooked the FixCamera_18157.sa into my Extended_ROM, it sets the camera-app back to the build 2.21B18157 from the 1.33.51-Mamaich-ROM, but it works allright.
Remember, when cooking, that the CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB (by Mamaich) and the AudioPatch_Media.CAB will need you to tap away the "This was build for a previous ...". Don't disable your touchscreen in the case you will be using one of these programs (= don't execute the "EXEC:\Extended_ROM\TPDisable.exe" in your 'Config.txt' hidden in your Extended_ROM).

HugoFranssen, funny you mention that. Not knowing what AudioPatch_Media.CAB was, I encountered that exact problem. Boy what a pain that was .
Thanks to everybody in this forum again.
Will install the upgrade soon may be after a week time.
My 2s is now in hospital (ACCORD) after I dropped it on the ground.....
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

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 Forza for the link. It's working and I'm downloading it now
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.
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

How-To build a ROM:
Extract the DEV folder
Extract one ROM to DEV
Extract one OS to DEV
Extract one LOC to DEV
Extract all OEM Packages you need to OEM
Run CreateOS.exe and click the button
Run CreateROM.bat
Done, your new ROM is located at DEV/Temp/NK.nbf
How-To build ur own OEM Package:
An OEM Package is just a simple folder containing files and registry settings for the ROM
First of all you'll need a GUID number for your Package.
Go to http://kruithof.xs4all.nl/ uuid/uuidgen to get one.
In my case:
283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db
Necessary steps:
1. Create a new folder:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/
2. Create a empty text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.dsm
(CreateOS.exe will finish this file for you)
If needed:
3. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.rgu
This file could be used to add registry entries to the ROM
First line is:
REGEDIT4
...
and there MUST be a empty line at the end!!
4. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/initflashfiles.txt
This file could be used to create folders or copy files on the ROM.
Example: Open Dev/LOC/initflashfiles.dat using a text editor
Copy all files you need to Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/
First Big Thanks to MAMAICH for his great tools that makes this possible, and BEPE for this briliant method of buildin rom that make it really easy for everyone and also BIG Thanks to indra9110 for lot of help, thanks dra...really appreciate it bro...
This is still on test stage, so trust me, something might be wrong or anything, I'm really need an input on this method, since I'm not so familiar with bepe's briliant way, he'll do it better I supposed? hehe....
Midget_1990, xplode, Black6spdZ, thingonaspring, logout , tautara and others input and help will be a huge help for make it better.
regard,
Helmi

Hi helmi, this is real good stuff.
What's the intention however? I quite like the current state of affairs with everyone focussing on one ROM. One ROM to rule them all etc.
Is the idea for people to start creating their own? I'd rather see everyone pull together to produce one fantastic BA WM5 ROM. We aren't all that far away from it just now. But if we start to fragment the effort, it'll slow things right down.
I made many packages for my Himalaya. It would be great to make some place on ftp to share them. This place shouln't be device specific (as I remember some of packages are uploaded into BA or Wizard section)
But better place would some wiki page, where people could write which package works on which hardware.
Also it's good idea to notice in package name which version of software it is, and if it's UPXed or not (I'm UPXing almost all packages gaining about 50% of space)
I have:
AKU 2.2+ Title Bar Clock
AutocompletePL
Call2Contact_1.0
CamRecSvc_by_ADX
Cambridge_bluetooth (Himalaya)
Compact_Framework_2
DKToday 1.80

WM2k5 SMS Alert Fix (Himalaya?)
WM5 NewMenu_1.0_UPX
WM5torage 1.7 (seems 1.5 is more stable)
XCPUScalar
idiffce_0.3_UPX
Personally i miss AEButton package but can't do it.
Some of them are unfinished (NET CF2 is the most important of them), some of them are untested because i'm still in process of converting new packages
And it would be nice to group packages by type, maybe place them in submenus

its still early stage, we need more people involved, but maybe with thingonaspring here (I believe he ready to put some nice stuff here), midget, blackspz, logout, tautara, xplode , everyone who willing to work as a team, for me its doesnt matter who build/make the rom, I believe we just want a ROM that we can use right? so working together on the fix / update issues would produce a "Best" or "less bug" rom, plus with ability to customizing it for personal use. well, at least that my intention. hopes we all can work together.

this is exactly what I want.. people share their stuff.. and make our BA more rich with feature/option on spesific stuff... yes u might modify anything if u thing necessary (as long u didnt delete it ...lol) and inform about the update, so others know about it.

hmm... maybe that could happen, but I beleive if we make it together? maybe it'll slow a bit, but more bug will be fix/resolve, share experience, it doesnt matter about who makes the rom. well, we'll see about this proggress...
About ROM Kitchen and 'the One ROM'
The ROM Kitchen is a wonderful idea.
IMO, things should walk towards stabilizing a base ROM with all features working (including WModem ).
But we also shouldn't leave to the users the effort to create their own ROMs, that's too troublesome.
Maybe all devs could get closer together and agree on some tools to integrate to it, and call it the 'XDA ROM', instead of Bepe, Helmi, TuMa or whatever.
So, we could have a 'BASE ROM', meant to be used on the ROM Kitchen, and the XDA ROM supported by all devs, built from the BASE ROM with tools which were agreed to be useful, so the less geeky can have a nice working ROM to update their BAs with. With things like PHM regedit, ability to choose between BT stacks, GB Soft Tweak and other useful stuff.
That does not stop the devs from having their own name branded ROMs placed on the site...
Agreed, a base ROM system is the best of both worlds. Say I was to pickup a base ROM and build on it, is there anything I can do that can't be done using ExtROM installers? Sure, you get to put stuff in the ROM, but it's already stuffed full it would seem!
I remember reading about an anti-theft application that you could put in the ROM. If the phone number changed, it would start sending you text messages telling you about the current owner/thief. Is this an option for the BA once we get a kitchen?
I will test it tonight after work, , i will test my latest SAP package and maybe if it works OK i will post it in this thread
i still have to dump some devices roms to see what can i get from them, at this moment i have new versions of CommManager and WlanMgr and maybe fix for wifi integration, but first should test it...
Once again i want to thank everyone involved in WM5 development for BA
It will be a very long list .. so i will mention just a few names:
mamaich, bepe, helmi, logout, tuatara, Midget_1990 and many more
Right way to roll in UPXed system apps?
OK, I have just decompressed all files, but I have no OEM packages rolled int yet.
I have tested many UPXed system dlls and exes, and I would like to roll them in to save space, in place of the original ones.
Where do I put them?
Attempted to build a base rom from the files provided and i am getting an error after clicking on CreateOS. The error is "Error: OS\2849e391-1e39-4a98-87b9-53932dec51d3 is not listed in packages.sof". How do you add or remove packages listed in the sof file or is that possible? How can i remedy this error?
Thanks in advance
i have 3 errors for 3 folders in os folder, i just moved them into oem folder
more results soon
I had the 3 errors too, and moved the files to OEM. The ROM image was built (apparently) was successfully built.
BUT, the million dollar question is:
How much free space do we have without adding any OEM stuff at all (a BARE ROM)?
We need to know our KB budget to know how much we can roll in...
I have the same error. What did you move exactly?
OK i have it.
It's:
2849e391-1e39-4a98-87b9-53932dec51d3
e3055288-19cd-4317-9125-a63654628fb3
fb30fdba-23d9-4a92-af78-041b1ee1d46c
Move them from the OS directory to the OEM directory

When you get the error, move the folder with that name to OEM.
Another subject:
Hey all,
I have unpacked the ROM (nk.nba), replaced all folders ending with .exe and .dll with the actual file contained in each, and UPXed all exes and dlls.
Suspicious files are automatically skipped by UPX, and I compressed them with 'upx -i --compress-exports=0 --compress-resources=0 --strip-relocs=0', because when I was testing compressing (Office) with the default options, it didn't work. All compressible files worked, with these options.
The 'dump' contents went from 52,3 MB to 30,6 MB.
The catch: I don't know if the nk.nba generated from them will work
I haven't tried repacking it into an nba and flashing a ROM. Does anyone want to experiment with this file?
EDIT:
After BuildImgfs.exe finished, it reported the following:
Total Sectors: d2a8
Used Sectors : b984
Free Sectors : 1924
In decimal: 53928,47492,6436.
How big is a IMGFS sector? 512bytes? 1KB? more?
/EDIT
i did it with a few files
simply deleted them and created OEM package with UPXed versions
My Himalaya is flashing now AKU 3.2!
It flashed ok, hovewer entering BT settings hangs device
I will wait for Bepe
EDIT: BT stack is my fault cause by UPXing it
i create my rom ... very fast
but when i turn off my 9090 , it don't turn on ( display is balack) :evil:
any solution?
hi,
how to build a SD-Card Images?
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!

Thanks for noting your radio version ! I've just installed this radio after the thread recommending it, so I'll give it a try as well.
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
Andy
For the guys who worked on this ROM, its excellent. You should be proud of yourselves, worth the wait!
