Helmi CF2 by baniaczek vs R4 - xplode - Wich is the best Rom now?

Comparison between Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v1.4.CF2 by baniaczek and BA WM5 AKU3.5 R4 - xplode.
I would want to upgrade my Blue Angel. which of the two it is the best one? I would want to have stability with Bluetooth and WiFi to use with GPS e surf in the web. You excuse me for my bad English…

Don't compare them now. Wait two days - wait for bug fix release.
Today - use xplode.

try both
for u to find out.

Now I see another upgrade: R4 Lazy Release

xplode R5 seems on the way too!

Hmm Banizczek, I knew bug_fix release coming in 2 days, I can't wait to see what else is fixed/enhanced.
Your hard work is VERY appreciated.
Hopefully the BA_Goodies will be included in it (psShutXP, Softkey, RunningPrograms, TaskMgr) + Mail_Fix + SmartDial.

You have convinced to me, you could say the procedure to me of installation of the Rom Xplode R4? I have read that I must set up something on the telephone operator

there is nor R5 on the way, i am still seeking ways to include .NET CF 2 SP2 inside but have no space left, it will be easy for baniaczek to include it because he already has .NET CF 2 SP1
and i think that there is no best WM5 rom, because they all are hacked to work on BA, they are not created specially for the device, thats why there are some known bugs which can not be fixed
afterall baniaczek edition of helmi's rom looks really promissing, so wait for the next release
about my roms, the lazy release does not need setting operator, so the upgrade procedure will be exactly the same as in any other wm5 rom
also i will post a kitchen to my R4 rom, but now i am configuring it, it is based on the newest Bepe's rom kitchen for Hermes (but of course it will be for BA) and it is a lot more easyer to build with it, you can choose which components you want and customize your roms better. For example you can create rom without office apps, or media player, or without any software which is included by default. But i am still working on it.

What about selective UPXing of dlls and exes? Yeah, some UPXed stuff might render it not working, it is a tedious process of UPXing stuff one by one, putting it on the ROM and then, if it works, flash a rom with them.
Have you UPXed everything possible in the R4 ROM?

could I user this kitchen to get rid of camera support?

A lot of things are already UPXed (in helmi's ROM, xplode's ROM - probably too).
And there is still not enough room. In my ROM, for example - about 20 free sector, 512 byte each. UPX is not revolution itself - IMGFS files are compressed gives some compression itself, so UPXing small files gives no impact results.
net.cf dll's are very large, but cann't be UPXed - the are signed, so UPX skips signed files.
It is very hard to save even 1MB of ROM. For that reason I've decide to remove some things (MSN, transcriber) from ROM.

OKAY

Upgrade procedure:
1.Extract the rar somwhere in your computer
2.Open the folder in which the files were extracted
3.Copy EXTROM folder to your SD card (you may want to edit it but ... i wont include this into the instructions)
4.Put your device in Bootloader mode and place it to cradle
5.Start MAupgradeUT_NOID.exe and follow the onscreen procedure
6.Perform WM5 Hard Reset

Personally, I have no use for powerpoint mobile. Actually I have never read a single Office document in my BA. all 3 apps could go EXTROM IMO. but maybe Word and excel are used by some, maybe they need to stay. Powerpoint mobile is the biggest of teh 3 exes I believe, at least this one could go EXTROM.
gdiplus.dll is not upxed, I copied it to my windows machine and it compresed to 36.78 original size. Sure, the space savings is not as big on IMGFS, but still...
some time ago I tried compressing some files, I believe gwes.exe is compressible too, and it's big. maybe you could check if it's already upxed...

I agree with BJ. All these 3 apps can go to EXTROM, eventhough I still use word and excel rarely though.
What about calculator? I believe most people would install a better version calculator. i know calculator program doesnt eat up a lot of ram, but it is still something...
And, just out of curiosity, what are the most used input method? I always use Block Recognizer. i believe people would only use 1 fav, however maybe Keyboard has to be left out as it is - just in case your friend/partner want to borrow ur phone for a quick sms or something, and they dont know how to use block/letter recognizer. Maybe it is a good idea to have block recognizer & letter recognizer to be excluded as EXTROM, just like what Baniaczek has done with Transcriber (This is very neat since it improves the time to change input method).
Btw, any news on bluetooth random wakeup issue?
Cheers

Just a bit of advice for the newbies
I know what I am doing now

Ahhhh... .NetCF 3.5

Sorry to bring this up again but I have been reading some more and and confused over what should and shouldn't work.
I am running a ROM that is based on the official HTC 5.2.19212. In this is .NetCF 2.0 and all the .NetCF apps I have run on this ROM fine. Now I have previously tried replacing the NetCF folder in SYS in the kitchen for the newer NetCF35 package that is available almost everywhere. When I do this NONE of the .NetCF applications run - MobileCalculator.exe, LiveSearch.exe, WelcomeCentre.exe, catalog.exe etc. I just gave up last time and admitted defeat and just re-cooked .NetCF 2.0 into the ROM.
Recently I read some more and read that .NetCF 3.5 is BACKWARDLY compatible with 2.0 and that there are performance improvements so I thought I would re-investigate this. Anyway same story at the moment - i.e. it doesn't work - however I am wondering if I need anything else in the ROM as well as .NetCF 3.5. This thread seems to say sqlce3.5 is also needed but doesn't specifically say apps like LiveSearch.exe or MobileCalculator.exe will work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370772
If anyone has any pointers I would be welcome as I am keen to get .NetCF 3.5 in my ROM.
Cheers
Andy

HKLM>>software>>microsoft>>.netcompactframework
change your values.
if you have a key of "2.0..." something version in that string, change the value to 0
the "3.5..." whatever key should be changed to 1

Yep, already tried that and still have the same issue.
It seems a lot of people have removed .NetCF 2.0 from their customised ROMs and replaced it with .NetCF 3.5, which is exactly what I want to do. I assume other people don't have the issues I am seeing as pretty standard things like LiveSearch, MobileCalculator and the GettingStarted thing wouldn't work?
If someone could explain what they did when they re-cooked their ROM from the official HTC 5.2.19212 to get .NetCF 3.5 to work I would appreciate the explanation?
Thanks
Andy

You should checkout the cabs in viper series (post #2), you got a good 3.5 cab there whit a configurator. My soft and office version are running 2.0 & 3.5 whit the configurator so you can swap for A to B with ease

I am not really sure why this has been moved as it is ROM cooking related Ho hum....
Anyway looking at the Viper Soft & Office versions you state that .NetCF 2.0 & 3.5 are unistallable so I assume you are installing them post flash using the 'config.txt' (extended ROM like), so you aren't actually cooking both into the ROM. I would be happy to just have .NetCF 3.5 in the ROM but I want my .Net applications to work.....
I specifically read yesterday that .NetCF 3.5 was BACKWARDLY compatible with .NetCF 2.0 and as far as I can tell it isn't, either that or as I said originally I am missing something.
Anyone else able to offer any advice?
Thanks
Andy

Can anybody please help with this as I assume all the Chefs who have removed .NetCF 2.0 and replaced it with .NetCF 3.5 must have hit this issue?
I have re-cooked a ROM and included .NetCF 3.5 and SQLCE 3.5 (replaced the older packages in SYS). If I try and start MobileCalculator.exe (or any other .Net application) I get a dialogue box with the title 'MobileCalculator.exe' and it says:
Cannot open 'MobileCalculator.exe'. A critical component is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Memory, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again.

There is obviously nothing else running as this is directly after a re-flash.

net cf here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E3821449-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385

Some testing.......
I am loosing my mind over this and I am positive someone has been through this already and has a solution but for some reason they are not willing to share it......
OK, testing I have done so far:
1. Build ROM with .NetCF 2.0 in ROM and then install .NetCF 3.5 via the .CAB file - This works and if you change any of the Application Policies via the .Net Configuration tool they seem to work with both .NetCF 2.0 & 3.5
2. Build ROM with .NetCF 3.5 in ROM using one of the OEM packages available - This does not work and none of the .Net applications will run. .NetCF configuration tool shows only .NetCF 3.5 available
3. Build ROM without .NetCF 2.0 OR 3.5 in ROM and install ONLY .NetCF 3.5 via .CAB file - This works and all .Net applications run file. .NetCF configuration tool shows only .NetCF 3.5 available
So based on this testing it seems that .NetCF 3.5 IS backwardly compatible, however getting it cooked into a ROM seems to be a black art. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
Andy

Success!!!!! well sort of.........
OK, after much faffing around I have got this to work but I am not sure why. I believe the problem was the OEM packages and the 6 modules that are in all of the OEM packages of .NetCF 3.5 I have downloaded. The modules get converted to files during the cooking I am led to believe? However I don't quite understand the module versus file thing?
The 6 modules/files are:
Code:
cgacutil.exe
mscoree3_5.dll
mscoree.dll
netcfagl3_5.dll
netcfd3dm3_5.dll
netcfmail3_5.dll
After much re-flashing, installing/unistalling the .CAB file, manually copying files and exporting/importing of registry entries I ended up extracting the files from the .NetCF 3.5 .CAB file and replacing the 6 modules in the .NetCF35 OEM package. I then re-cooked the ROM and my .Net CF applications are now running again and I only have .NetCF 3.5 in the ROM
I can't believe that all the OEM packages of .NetCF 3.5 I downloaded are flawed as they must work on some devices?
Andy

Sorry, final post, honest....
OK, before I started out I did search. In fact I asked this question a while ago and searched then too.
However, I thought I would search again and widen it a bit (search for only 'netcf' instead of '.netcf 3.5' & 'include in ROM'). There was one thread I found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350279
And in here it seems other people were suffering the same issue. Although the answer in that thread is similar to the conclusion I have arrived at, neither thread is quite complete - i.e. why the OEM package with modules doesn't work, but repacked using the files instead of modules does?
If anyone can explain why/how this works like this I would appreciate the explanation or provide some links (I have previously looked into modules but never found a good explanation).
Cheers
Andy
p.s. and after all that I can't really tell the difference in speed of the Kaiser or any of the .NetCF applications...... Maybe I need some native .NetCF 3.5 apps?

Opera 9.5 Build 2808 - .cab inside

Original post here -mirrored now-
New updated .cab.
Opera 9.5 Build 2808 --VGA--
This .cab has all the proper settings, and config for VGA, as well as a maximum 8 tab possible.
Did not attempt an SD install, dont hesitate to be a guinea pig - i made this uninstallable. -- However, if your ROM has Opera already installed/cooked in, you MUST install to device, in order to overwrite the existing files.

WM 6.5 Native Kernel/nk.exe/xip.bin for Kovsky

Hi friends!
I think the topic pretty much says it all;
This is a native WM 6.5 Kovsky OEMXIPKernel/xip.bin/nk.exe - aware of the new Slot 60/Slot 61 Module virtual memory layout - what does this mean for you as a chef?
Now you don't have to recmod any modules in \SYS anymore, to port over WM 6.5! And you have 64mb free to convert more files to modules!
But you will need to use a relocation tool that is aware of the new memory layout;
Ervius Visual Kitchen + Bepe's New Kitchen do this with the "Real WM 6.5 AKU" checkbox
There's also a build of "WMReloc" 2.0 floating around that may support this, that would be compatible with the "old style" kitchen (buildos + g'reloc, it would replace g'reloc)

Don't seem to be able to change the date with xipporterex in visualkitchen, when I press "Find Date/Version on \ROM\Xip\" is gives the following (see attached image).
So I'm not able to change the year since it is not loaded from ROM.
Anyone knows how to fix?

Very interested this. But not really sure if I understand what it is. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong. This is an ROM folder for the xperia? Not an Ported one but a real one right?

@Lokatho:
This is a common problem with XIPPorterEx and newer nk.exe - the method it uses to figure out which string is the version string does not work properly - if you change those incorrect values it's likely something will break.
Instead - use a hex editor, search for your version string - find it, and change it in the hex editor
This will work fine
The issue is with XIPPorterEx's algortihm - maybe you can report it to ervius, and he'll fix it up

very nice
thank you very much

not really sure what this is. but will it somehow bridge the big performance issue with x1 and the HD or TD2 (almost same specs but noticeably faster perormance)?

Lost In Asia 14.0 (28004), gps is fine

it could be that one of the ROMs you flashed changed the Radio on your device (i know some dutty Roms do this). check your radio version to see if its the ROM or the radio

until now on every 6.5 rom i tried the gps worked fine,and i tried a lot of roms.

There was an issue with the GPS on 28004 of the Energy Rom Series, fixed in the latest build of 28005 on the 27th.

I'm currently testing Xnor 6.5 V1.4 and the GPS seems to work just fine.

Did you try running quickgps first? It should help to get a faster fix.

GPS has worked on all wm6.5 roms I've tried, so I doubt your problem is with the rom

Hi members! I have problem with Gps ( no tomtom no foot print no googlemap localization) and Wifi (works but no far than 50cm!) I think that the problem it isen't of the roms but something else! So I do Hspl Olinex 1.56 then I flash the Rom next the radio and at last the rilphone.cab! But Nothing! So I have to unlock something? My Touch Hd is Brand Tim!

7. it seems that if TomTom is installed on a fast microSD decrease the lag(have to test to be sure)
With those changes car usage will be quite perfect
Then edit registry (with TotalCommander)
Under: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\
- Drivers\GpsOneDevice\PollInterval -> 100 (default is 1000)
- Drivers\InputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
- Drivers\OutputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
- Drivers\SleepOnNoData -> 100 (default is 1000)
- Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize -> 512 (by default not present, you have to create it)

★ EnergyROM "Leo" works very good with NDrive and TomTom.

I've tried a couple now and can't get TomTom to find my GPS

It seems that TomTom works fine for almost all the wm6.5 roms. Try to hard reset the phone. When I met this problem, I always did that and it really helped for most of the cases.

Dutty's、EnergyRom、LostinAsia and many other roms are working fine with GPS

ok, I should really have said this earlier in thread. Opinionated threads are frowned upon in XDA as they create endless long threads due to people having different views/opinions etc. I can confirm that GPS works in all roms I've used so I'd suggest if you cannot get GPS working its not a rom issue.
If so create a new thread or use the 'search' function to find threads on GPS in the general discussion forums. As for this thread, I am now closing it as its not releated to rom development
