is it possible to make an already full patched(button fix,camera,bluetooth,etc) rom with all basic programs (such as mms client,stk,backlight,etc)?
i think yes but i'm not able to make it..it will be very usefull for newbies such me..
with this full rom you do not need to post lots of duplicated threads and all will works since the beginning..
yeah i would like that to,
so we only have to install it without patching and so
very good idea!!!!
but now, apart the Wiki, there is a list of all patchs that must be installed?!
'cause I don't have enough time to read alle the pages in WM5 problem resolutions thread
well,
so far, i created a project for a extended rom under wm2005.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Extended_ROM
Butt im stuck, it will not install off the rom after a hard reset.
If this would be working we do not have to worry anymore if we forgot or lost our sd card for the neccesary patches.
i think yes
i can make a list but someone has to do that
i think tha the 'default' are:
camera fix
wm5_v3 fix
button fix
midi with album fix
missing system programs (mycpl.rar)
traylauncher
wifi programs
sim manager
and a set of default programs:
pdf reader
xscaler
pocketplus
pocketrar
etc..
I would say no, i'd rather have the choice to install what patches i want. For instance if i dont use MMS or prefer the soft keys of WM5. The way it is now you can configure the device just as you want. Getting a working extended rom you can customise would be my choice. I definitely wouldnt want Pocketplus installed by default on my device.
It has to work first.
So anybody already found a working autorun.exe and config.txt files?
I Tried alot of those two, but still not able to get it working under te extended rom after a hard reset.

Yes i dont have to use it; but if the patches are no longer released separately then i have no choice. If there is a choice of all-in-one rom and non-patched that will be ok. But you have to think of who creates the rom, it may be easier just to maintain one rom version. I guess we have to wait and see..
@pimbo have you tried the autorun from the K-Jam extended rom? May be different from the Universal files. Its here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/

Not yet, preparing my device now, autorun is 17kb from this one
setup is 104kb, looks common, exept the dates are a bit older.
Manually launching the autorun of files on the extended rom will work, so i guess that i have to do a hardreset again, thats what i going to do later the evening. lol 8)
:evil: :evil:
No luck. wil not automaticly run.
Still need to make the rom visible and run the autorun.exe for the installs.
But this is the nearest solution for now i guess.
So you still need a single cabfile on a sd card to unhide your rom and install all files on there.
If anybody knows the bytes to change in the nbk or nbf files or maybe in the bootstrap, the adaption could be completed and the patches would automaticly install after a hardreset. .
please don't OT
...so
dev can make all in one rom and single patch

right?!
i for one would love an all encompassing rom patch. reading through all the duplicate posts and other resolutions is a real hassle for noobs. we see the same questions being asked every 3 days or so and it just creates more clutter for the other noobs to sift through. i figure a lot of those fixes should be included in the next patch of the current wm5 rom anyhow if people rather wait for that to come around.

we are all noob..we are all waiting for you :lol:
if ppl want to install single patch one by one they can do that
but i think that for noobs this is such as an "official" rom
tested and approved from xda devs
please try to create folder named 2577 in your extrom and place autorun in that folder.

did not work, did the autorun in a folder called 2577. cab files on the root.
did a hard reset, but would still not install.
The screen of the 3sec before install wont pop up
But after i made my extended rom visible, it automaticly runs after a soft reset.(the 3sec screen pops up )
(last problem?)
But i'm going to get some sleep now, maybe that will help a bit :shock:

This would not work. WM5 on BA lacks registry settings and driver for the extended_rom folder.

Guys,
I'm not able to remove any programs via activesync from my wizard.
I can see the programs listed in activesync but I can't remove any of the installed programs; it's driving me crazy!
Please help!
Cheers,
Arne
Highlight a selected program and click remove- job done!
Alternatively uninstall programs from your PPC

That is exactly the problem; how do I remove a program from my PPC?
Because via Activesync doesn't work.....
The program I like to remove is minimo (mozilla for PPC's)
Thanks!
Have the same problem, Windows can not delete programfiles. When i install an update of a program, the setup failed. If i delete files manualy i can install the update. Had the same problem with original rom.

Try....

This should do what you are after.
my dear friend thats the problem....by doing any of the above i cannot uninstall any programmes ...it say cant remove programmes but do u delet it from your list of removable progrrames...funny
Same here. Minimo would not uninstall
went to remove prog. it said it did but all it did was remove it from the remove programs list.
Hard reset here we go. Pocket mechanic was the same for me.
It's ok when you exactly know where the program is installed - you should simply delete its files. But how can I upgrade to .NET CF 2.0?
Installer can't remove previous version and I can't delete files manually cause I don't know what files to delete :-(
I've had the same problem trying to remove minimo and the Atomic Cannons Demo. :? So far these are the only items I have tried to uninstall. I just deleted the folders and shortcuts, but I'd rather figure out what's causing the problem!
Running the QTek test ROM (WWE) on a US Tmo MDA.
I also have that. however most of the time it works for me to soft-reset and then remove. for some reason that works (for me)
I would recommend a soft reset just prior to removing software from a WM5 PPC. WM5 only minimises most programs instead of closing them when you click the X so the application stays open therefore files are still in use which prevents a successful removal.
Even if the progam has been closed by Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs or a task manager like in SPB Pocket Plus there is a chance that there are still associated files locked open unless a soft reset is done before uninstall. Windows Applications on the desktop will normally prompt for a restart after uninstall if files were in use however it looks like the majority of Windows Mobile apps (or Windows itself) dont have the same functionality (some Mobile apps do prompt for restart but not very many).
Also, apps with today screen plugins should be disabled, before a soft reset then uninstall the app as WM seems to lock the files open when active on today screen as well.
I havent had the uninstall error once since i have done a soft reset before uninstalling any software, hopefully others will have the same success. I know this wont apply to every situation but so far so good for me. :wink:
Cheers
Chris
Puckster is right.Run your task manager to see all runing programs and close them before trying to uninstall or simply soft reset prior to uninstall.It works without a flaw.
After updating HTC Home. The Font of my Comm Manager changed.
Does some1 know how to bring the original back??
I also tried to instal the 10 button comm manager but the font is still the same.

Have you installed any SlovoEd dictionary? If yes... remove it because it causes problem to the fonts.
I had the same issue after starting Kaisertweak ... worked the second time after my next hard-reset

Hard reset :O
SPB Shell always changes the font on comm manager and kaisertweak on my kaiser. looked hard but could not find a solution on how to get it back. let me know if you find anything. tnx.
Hard Reset
Called the helpdesk and they didn't know as wel. So I made a hard reset. Now it works again.
Had the same problem when i installed a bible reader called e-sword. Found a solution:
In the Windows/Schriftarten (german) or Windows/fonts (should be the folder in WWE) there are normally no files in there. After installing the app there were three files in. I deleted the 3 files in the Windows/Fonts folder, closed the CommManager once (REAL close, don't forget) and started it again and voilà! Everything back to normal. No Hardrest needed
This happened to me the other day, after installing SPB Pocket Plus 4. It also managed to kill Tom Tom as well as screw with my fonts. I reinstalled TomTom though, and everything was OK again.
Same problem here.
I only see it in KaiserTweak, and SBSH Clock on the time console.

Well my /Fonts folder was empty. So I had nothing to delete. The font change was in Comm manager + KaiserTweak.
Same thing over here
I am sure it is SPB Shell / SPB Tools 4 in my case. They both have a today plug-in that screws the font in comm manager and kaisertweak.

Here's an easy fix if that happens, open up the fonts folder on your computer in the windows directory and copy the font called verdana in to the fonts folder in the windows directory on your phone, soft reset and after that you should be good again.

As I Already Said. I HAD NOTHING FROM SPB INSTALLED!
Tried copying the Veranda font as suggested ... but no go.
Same problem
Here is what KaiserTweak looks like ... see attached.
Any other suggestions would be most appreciated ... I only see this issue in a couple pieces of software. KaiserTweak, SBSH Clock ...
Same thing after installing WeatherPanel.
I experienced this after installing WeatherPanel. Went into \Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel\Themes\Default\
and deleted or renamed all *.ttf files. After a reboot everything went back to normal.
Hope this helps...

Damn that's very messedup. My font was cool and readable. Yours is fu up and not readable. I only think a Hard-reset would do the trick. Cause also installing other comm managers won't help you.
Also have the Comm Manager Font problem
I have the same problem. I installed a foreign language calendar, which put a font it needed into windows/font folder. Messed up Comm Mananger. The moment I removed the font, all was well.
Problem is that I need to use the foreign language calendar, which depends on the font!
Anyone know of a registry tweak to fix Comm Manager or otherwise allow the two to co-exist.
I don't think Comm Manager is using Verdana, so that doesn't seem to be the answer (although I haven't tried it yet).
Help from all the wise gurus out there would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help!
How do I restore the original comm manager? I tried installing shaps 10 button to get the 3g/edge toggle. At first the button was there, now there are only 9. Try to reinstall, says "unsuccessful - insufficient system permissions...
totally lost.
Please help if possible. I'm afraid I might have to do the hard reset. I haven't been able to get 3g since I did this. Two parter now:
1.) How do I get the original comm manager back?
2.) Is there a registry setting to enable/disble 3g so I can check that?
Thank you.
i had the same problem try soft reset and then do it again, because i installed some cabs and then the comm cab and it sayed the same thing, then i soft reset and it let me and said your device must be reset then it worked fine.
i am also having the same problem.... i have tried soft reseting and reinstalling the file but all that i am getting is the same message...
i have even tried using the restorecomm.reg file, but every time i browse to it and click on the file its always giving me a " no program associated message"
is there anyway to restore the original comm manager and still be able to install a new one?
you can use schap's advanced config tool to change the style and the buttons of the comm manager
your problem is that you have your comm manager running. Go to memory and then stop the comm manager form running. Then you can reinstall it.
I suggest getting Dutty's black comm manager. It has worked the best for me.

"Memory" is the name of a program on the System tab of the Settings screen.
is there anyway to completely delete the comm manager that is installed and just restore the original and start from scratch?

First when installing a new Comm manager make sure that it's not actively running. My suggestion. Soft reset your phone then install the comm manager of your choice. Hope this helps.

I was having the same problems. This solution worked!!!
Hey guys,
I have tried installing many different comm managers, but all give me this message:
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
Does someone have a way out.
