zoom mode in explorer, is included? Is it usefull ?

it's suppose to be there even is a ie6.1 cab install for normal wm6

Rudegar
can you help whith cab?

Why is the RAMDISK so much smaller on 6.1 than on 6? 40mb vs 15, doesnt leave much room to install programs.
Thankyou.

send reqest to Shekar

A request for what?
Thanks,

foк making rom whith required ramdisk

Well I don't like making requests, since the developers here work on their projects at their spare time.
I just wonder why there is so little ramdisk space on 6.1 compared to the others, Just want some clarification, and it would be nice to get a 6.1 with more ramdisk space if possible.
Is it ok to install programs on my memory card? will performance be stunted heavily?
Thanks.

yoг may manually change the ramdisk - just find requred topic.
The main goal of ramdisk (exept of speed) - is that it able to maintan the programs, which can`t boot from sd card + it alwas build-in.
Usually you will loose some speed but not so much.

Thanks,
I found this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279927&page=9
I have tried following the procedure but I am having problems, I posted in that thread about the problems I encountered.
Thanks.

Downloading and will flash soon. Hope this will be better than previous releases of other ROMs. Will be having response soon!
Thanks for your hard work!
A2DP Issue
With regards to the above, I have posted the differences I found between TuMa 1.4 and this ROM here...
It seems that although everything is present, the BtA2dpSnd.dll isn't being activated and so the functionality, although offered when pairing a device, isn't available as a profile, I'm at work all day (bummer ) and won't be able to work on it this weekend due to family commitments, but if anyone else (Tuatara ) could look at this it would be great!
hey spkr4thdd
u r too worried about your ad2p thing too much. it will come around.
btw, great work Helmi, thanks
imatrix
im having problems synchronizing w/ an exchange server, i receive an error:
"Security certificate on the server is invalid."
Hi
What speed tweaks are you using? Can you share'em?
@ helmi_c
Moved your rom to a safe place and corrected link.
Please update wiki WM5 page with your rom.
IMAP4 Account gone after changing Battery
The captioned problem is encountered in both Tuma 1.4 and Helmi 1.0 ROM. Am I the only victim?
Cheers, thanks all for your tremendous effort in compiling the WM5 ROMs!

I think it is a known problem with all WM5 ROMs at least on BA (disappearing e-mail accounts if battery removed).
On first boot after replacing the battery you should immediately soft-reset with the reset hole when you see "R None" displayed. That should prevent your email accounts from disappearing. As KTamas said this happens with all BA WM5 roms i've used (Tuma 1.3, Himalaya port and original WM5 beta rom)
One question, due to my work schedule I cant flash till the weekend. Do AKU 2 functions like push email work? Havent seen this mentioned so far.
IMAP4 account on WM5
Speaking of the devil, I have seen the same stupid situation on a brand new HP iPaq rw6828 once. Together with VGSMail, the push mail functions quite OK on the BA Tuma1.4 Beta except the frequent popping up of Repollog errors. Too bad if we need to take extra precautions in changing battery! Is there any cure at all?

Certainly does - I have push email working with this ROM over GPRS.
Made my day that did Huge thanks to Bepe, Helmi and everyone else for the work on this - finally a WM5 ROM that I can *use*
If there's enough demand I'll document what I did - though the vast majority of the work is configuring Exchange and OWA itself, very little to do on the device.

Which is which???
Hi there,
First of all, thanks for the great work! It is really a nice ROM . Just need to find out something. I downloaded the "Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_32mb_v1.rar" file, thinking that it should give me 32 MB of RAM Disk. But after I install it, it shows 64MB of RAM disk. Can anyone tell me which one is the file that create 32 MB of RAM disk? Thanks...

Trust me, I'm working on it, unfortunately I have a monstrous amount of family commitments this weekend... so it might not be for a couple of days... it's the one thing left I want fixed, I don't use Pocket MSN anyway (prefer IM+ and FlexMail)
Tray Icons...
One thing I'd like to do is get rid of the BT Icon in the tray, remove the Comm Manager Today Plugin and get it in the tray instead, I know it's possible as the Universal and other newer PDA's have it there...
Does anyone know the reg entry to enable this? I've tried a couple of random ones but can't seem to get it working...
If all else fails I'll get a mate over with his Uni and dump his Registry
its not a reg entry, its an exe if i find it ill post it.
removing the tray apps is just a case of removing thier shortcuts in \windows\startup
and the com manager on today screen go to start>settings>personal>today>items and uncheck 'wireless'

I know that, I've removed the today plugin and tray icons I don't want, just need the exe for the comm mgr for try icon...
I'm not sure what the other files in this package are for. For example, do I need to run the \Preparation\ExtROM Unlocker - WM2003SE\xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB file before I flash the ROM and do I need to use the DOC repartitioning tool?
And what should be done with the files in the Extended_ROM directory?
Thanks.

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:

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.

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.

Suggestions wanted for when I cook a new Rom

When AKU3.2 gets stable I will make a new Rom, or maybe there will be some adjustments to my 2.26.10.2 Roms if someone discovers something really cool like reducing the PagePool for more free Ram.
But for now, I would like to know what you people think what programs are missing in my Roms.
I DO NOT add programs to it that are used only by some people, I would only like to add programs that are used by almost everyone in the community!
For now, I am thinking of adding the following programs:
For sure:
- .NET Compact Framework 2 (although it requires about 5MB on Main Memory)
- Signed_CameraPatch_ov9650.sa.cab (definitely better then the standard camera driver!)
- MMS Folder CAB file
- 2.47.11 Radio Rom (a lot of people say that this Radio Rom performs better then the Cingular 2.25.11 Radio Rom, read the thread about this Radio Rom here)
Maybe:
- SMSDRFix (SMS Delivery Report Fix), because I use it A LOT (and you all know...until know I build my Roms the way I like them the most!)
- Intent Midlet Manager (although I do not use it myself!)
- PPCContactsMgr 1.2 (for selecting multiple contacts, on my existing Roms there is also a plug-in for "Save as First/Last Name", so also this one looks useful to me)
- Null Keyboard (avoids keyboard pop-up, if you don't use it you also will never notice it, it's not a program, just an option for your keyboard settings)
- SipChange (to set a default keyboard)
What do you guys think?
Regards,
Molski
how about including the cab file that adds mms folder as well?
MMS is generally pretty carrier specific. That might be problematic give that Molski's ROMs are carrier agnostic.
well, the one from molski.biz just gives a generic sample server settings, i think if we can manage to unlock our CID, i wouldn't be so difficult to alter the mms server settings =)
thanks for listening=)
is there any flash player?!? if positive that's a good stuff to be added...

The MMS folder installation has nothing to do with MMS settings, you still need to install (or add manually) specific settings for your provider.
This is a good one, I will add it to the list of apps.

What about WM5torage? That way there's no need for Activesync or looking for a miniSD to SD adapter and a card reader...
At least I use that program a lot... Don't know how useful it is for other people...

Click to collapse
In fact I use WM5torage a lot also, but I developed a little CAB for WM5torage and DeviceLock mapped to the VoiceDial button, because that's the way I use it. The file is available on www.molski.biz, I will copy and paste some info of the cab file here:
---------
This program installs the full versions of WM5torage 1.60 and DeviceLock,
including shortcuts for both programs and the DeviceLock Control Panel.
It remaps DeviceLock to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (single press).
It remaps WM5torage to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (long press/hold).
I made this program because I never use the VoiceDial or Record functions of the button, but I often use DeviceLock (and hate it to have it as an item on the Today Screen) and WM5torage and wanted some quick shortcuts to it (but not on the Today Screen...).
---------
Regards,
Molski
p.s. So I don't think I will put it in my Roms, simply because I would wreck my own installation and have to use a work around myself for WM5torage, so sorry.
How about overclocking, I can't imagine using it as is.

Hi Molsi,
What I would like is a complete *clean* rom as if it came out of the HTC or QTek departments. Might there be a version like that too? Ah, asjeblieft...?
Many thank for you work so far, keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Cacti
pls dnt add OC apps in the ROM,bec some of us use omapclock plus,better to have our own choice of choosing,better put it in the EXT_rom so that incase they dnt like it,they can easily erase it. also if you can add TALKING ALARM,this way better, shouting what's the time already, and SMARTKEY too(oh! i forgot,this already putted in the ROM 2.26.102.
so when can we XPECT the AKU 3? hehehe
Molski first of all thanks for the hard work and great support.
I don't think that you must put any software on the rom.
Everybody has there own "need".
If people want software on it they download it.
The power of the rom is the speed, so please keep it that way.
Thanks (bedankt)
You got a good point there!
Maybe I just will create an "extra" Extended Rom with a few apps in it that are must-have. It's no big deal of flashing an new Extended Rom after a Rom upgrade onto your device
But I am sure that I will add 3 new cab files to my new Roms...the 3 cabs listed in the 1st post (and also maybe smsdrfix, cause I also always deliver my Roms with SMS Notification on and for that little setting smsdrfix is a must-have app ).

You're right...I don't add overclocking because some people do not use it and if they use it there are several ways to do it, so people have to just install this manually.

When I am starting to read things about a stable and 100% working AKU3.2 Rom (on every AKU3.2 Rom I tested my WiFi does not connect to my router with WPA-PSK/TKIP) I will take my hands on it

when will we see real 3.2 AKUs for wizard? As far as I know, the 3.2 roms here are actually 2.26 roms with 3.2 features grafted in...

Yeah...you are right...I think we just will have to wait until T-Mobile or Cingular releases an AKU3.2 Rom (without bugs...).

Add Total Commander. That's all I can think of... I hate when ROMs come with lots of stuff.
My must haves are as follows.
1 Smartskey
2 Total Comander
3 WM NewMenu

Which WM6 are you using and Why?

Theres like 6 threads with like 50 pages each...and i've read almost all of them....but my question is which WM6 of crossbow are you using? So far i know theres
1. Chinese version
2. Stock leaked one
3. PDAViet 1
4. PDAViet 2
Which ones are you guys using and why? THanks for the responds guys
None, they're buggy, obviously unfinished and of dubious origin.
im using pv2...it has nice little addons to it, and it seems to be smoother...

But that's what makes them so FUN!
i totally agree with you guys. Thats what makes these roms fun. i just got tired of trying to decide which rom to mess with and all that fun crap. i just wanted to see what fellow modders were doing with their roms and what they learned and what they have accomplished. i see that on PDAViet 2 for some reason my screen keeps turning on. and sometimes my softkeys wont work. does any one by anychance have a solution to thi stuff? Thanks

Agreed.
I tried them out, but they were pretty buggy and impossible to make everything run as smoothly as WM5.
I need stability and a smooth running PPC. Not some glitchy buggy unreliable WM6.
Plus WM6 adds zero true improvements. There is just no reason to use these pre-release versions.
I hope they get WM6 fixed up correctly before actually releasing it to the public or WM6 is going to suffer a horrible fate.
Need another option: My own cooked version
I cooked up my own version, modeling it after Risidoro and Molski's, adding all the cool TSK files, camera themes, ringtones, Ris' network tools, Adobe Acrobat LE. mbutton in ROM and in startup, Total Commander in ROM, enabling the ZIP tool, added traylaunch and battery status and adding in the faria camera fix.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to Risidoro, Molski and Faria for the great tutorials. I spent hours working on this to get it working just like I want it.

Yes. Sorry. It is the Orwell, I guess, one.
I just read about editing the HV files, so now my little cab file that I run afterward to add in MMS, GPRS, etc, will be integrated into the ROM directly, along with Midlet Manager, TRE and whatever else I can inject into it.
yeah i had to put all my internet and gprs settings my self from my other 8125. so far i like the way it looks and its running pretty good now that i took some stuff off the start up folder like tray launch and smartskey. dont really need them. i have pocketplus running just fine on there just like batterystatus and today plugin.

Can you share some experience about editing HV files? I can't find any sources for it. Thanks.
Well. Let me first say this.
Apparently what PDAViet has done to Faria's hard word and effort can simply not be justified imho.
To be honest I have PDA Viet2 installed. But that was before I read what they did with Faria's hard work. And I simply don't have time now to switch to another WM6 rom, otherwise I'd installed Faria's latest and greatest Rom 3.3.
Nevertheless I must say that the PDA Viet2 rom works fine on my MDA. Even my 4gb minisd works flawlessly (although i'm still looking for some tweaks to improve read/write performance with it). They also put some security to it with removing the windows update option (which apparently causes trouble to some users).
But, to stay loyal to Faria, just because that man really does great work, whenever there's another rom (a better one/more complete one) and I have some more time, I immediately switch to another rom.
I love WM6, on my device it runs so much more smoother than WM5 did, and after running the MMS cab patch, i'm fully sorted. All of my software work on it perfectly, it's extremely fast (i haven't even had to over clock it like i used to do at 240mhz).
I now want to really get into understanding how to tweak and create my own Roms.

I think we could get better results if people knoew how to identify which WM 6 rom they have.

WM6 Upgrade on Wizard
Hey Guys I ran the WM6 orwell update and it did its thing, but when it rebooted it was still WM5 (blank no user data) do I have to do anything special after I disconnest?

Ather's Dark Edition German WM6.1 with UC - Fully loaded!

Normally new ROM in this forum are as clean as possible. THIS isn't !!!
This one is really dirty. It is ALL IN there:
User customisation,
Screen Rotation Fix,
German keyboard,
Speekerphone, (freehand phoning with a single fingertip gesture)
NET 3.5,
Opera Mini 4.2 German as Default Browser,
Screen Capture and Audio Recorder,
Phone Logging with Screen Lock Function,
HTC Home,
FTouchFlo,
SCLPC++ Cube,
Navigation,
Antitheft Software with GPS Detektion,
WLAN and WIFI, Wardriving and GPS Software.
Lots of useful freeware-apps,
and a lot of pre-installed programs and hidden features more!
The really best is a software, which is officially not released for Windows Mobile! Designed to run on at least 32MB, it is working fine on 17MB of free ram-memory!
So, please: Do NOT use this thread to ask for help on this proggis, better PM me.
Enjoy - don't talk!
Always try the ROM together with the UC. Without it, it doesn't rock, as it should!
To install:
Copy the folder Speicherkarte to a clean SD-card. (At least 1GB) and insert it into the device.
Uprade as normal, after that Hard-Reset.
Important: The RAMdisk is erased!
UC stops only one time and you have to press OK.
(No need to tap OK on the mortscript-popups)
At the end of the installation, you should set the time/date and lock the keys (if you want).
At last you can config the antitheft-soft.
Good news to all the ROM-cookers of you:
Add 2 files to the ROM and the antitheft-soft is hard reset resistend!
To all others, there is a little workaround to simulate hard reset resistens with the help of UC. (As long as the SD card is inserted on hard reset.)

Thanks Ather, you are right. It took me hundreds of flashes since my first recook on 7.Sept.08 to get this final version.

I´m sorry. This Mod is my fault!
Have fun. 75 downloads in less than 36 h, not bad.
Can you please give me some feedback. It was a hard job, beside my family.
There are no probs? Nowhere? I can't believe it! Feel free to ask, why I did, what I did.

Did noone find that is not possible to create new SMS?!?
Sorry, I think I cleaned the ROM a little bit to much.
I´m working on it. The reason I didn´t see it earlier is, that I didn't insert a SIM and I didn't try it 'till now.
PLEASE report bugs you find! It makes me angry, if my first released ROM is not as perfect as it could be.
Ok greate work
This Rom - have package
Hi muckelmaus,
thx for your work.
There are some newer program-versions "on the markt" as the ones you used,
e. g. Total Commander or Version 6 of the Navi-Software.
I have a problem with your Navi-Installation:
First I used the older Navi-SW at your ROM, no problem.
Second I am trying to use the newer one, but it gives me an error with the map which seems to be pre-installed in the configuration. I cannot switch in the newer SW to the other card on the SD nor I can end the Navi-SW on normal way.
Can it be that the 2 versions of the Navi-SW uses the same INI-File or registry-entry anywhere?
Please edit your post!
Can you please do not use original Software-names in this thread. I don't like judges, software companies can google, too.
For the map, you have to edit a file. Sorry, I forgot to share these files, that explain how.
They are coming soon, but I want to fix the SMS bug first.
Btw: There is a version of that program running on WM 2k3 devices, too. This version can handle 6.75 maps!
Of cause, there might be newer versions of special apps, but do they are so much better more powerful or do the have special features, that it is worth to change a working system. On the other hand, most of them are bigger and they won't fit. ROM is rare on Hima-systems. (Current G-maps is twice as big as the older)
The best example is the missing SMS capability, which is a result of cleaning to drastic.
Still working on bug fix! Comming asap!

Thanxs, for editing your post, Did you check your PM?
You didn't download the link yet.
Still working on the SMS bug fix. The fault was created between Sept. 13 'til 26 last year, as far as I examined. Now I have to compare, what I did in between version 6.1.9 and 6.1.10. Found the missing files and 2 registry data, but there is still missing a little bit.
Now it works!
Yes, it's true. The bug on creating SMS is fixed!
So I release it now as Final Version. Look at the first post of this thread.
There is still a little bug, but it is not a special fault of my ROM, it's known as a bug, based in changing the language (to German).
The device freezes on calibrating the touchscreen.
Maybe some one can write a small app, .cab or a mort script to change the reg key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="504,517 152,249 146,786 865,789 862,259"
(Would be cool because one of my himas has a little bit funny behaviour.
Try this and you will see:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="584,499 291,239 291,763 880,757 881,241 ")
I hope, you all will have fun.
On questions or problems, please PM: "I will do my very best Ms. Sophy" "Scoll"
Cool, there was one complete download, while writing this post.
Please post your opinion or bug detections.
It is quite easy to get rid of unused proggis on the ramdisk or to save some more space in main memory.
If you are not sure how or you want to insert your own cabs, but don't know to edit cabs, it would be nice to hear from you.
Last Final Link
Look at the first post, if you want to use the left-right gesture.
Have fun. Now everything should work.
Without it, all your brainpower or the help of the search-button would be useless.
Shame on me!
There is still a wrong link in the System folder. Backup funktion is corrupt.
Download and extract the patch attached to the first post.
Copy the folder Patch to the root of the SD card and start the included Patch1.mscr to fix the wrong link.
Fixed the missing MMLauncher in a new Patch, today.

It is compatible with the extended battery and it should be compatible with the vga-feature of the backpack.
There is a file of the Net2.0 folder missing in \Windows, sorry, I didn´t find out which one yet.
A small workaround was to copy the file(not the folders) to \windows, but this wastes memory. I´ll patch it, soon, it worked for me.
I was a little bit to radical in cleaning the ROM to get space.
I still hope, that someone finds a way to write a working driver for the cf-slot of the backpack, because I saw a working 6.1 ROM at the Magician forum by some hero without a warning or any hint that it is possible.
So, hope dies last.
See you.
BTW: ather I´ll by you a cheap new used hima, because one of mine has funny behaviour, caused by a 3600mAh battery. PM for your address, to send it.
PS: MMlauncher still doesn´t work. Sorry for that, I think it´s a hardcoded link error.
