Edited 26 jan 2006
I've uploaded a second test version of HTC Wizard's rom port to ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/wizard2ba_v2a_test.rar
(this is a v2 rom with a fixed camera)
USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
This version is a complete Wizard's ROM including:
1. Working MMS client
2. Midi/mp3 ringtone support
3. DirectX mobile/Direct3D mobile (xscale-optimized 3D driver)
4. Built-in cyberon voice-dial
5. Wizard's battery indicator, device lock on today
6. Some cosmetic changes
7. 32 Mb RAM disk
8. Bug fixes from the previous version (for example now you can add picture to contact).
There is no need to install any of the old CAB-files with fixes on this ROM. All needed fixes are included in "EXTROM" folder.
The "EXTROM" folder has changed from the previous ROM version. You need to do a hard reset before using this ROM!
Known problems:
1. Bluetooth disconnect bug is still there. I have an idea, but would check it later.
2. The device cannot be used as an IR/USB modem. This can be fixed, but I don't have enough time.
3. It seems that midlet manager is not working. Probably this is a bug in original wizard's ROM.
Installation instructions:
1. Modify the operator as needed and if needed:
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nbf nk.nba -x 0x20040521
...read wiki...
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nba nk.nbf -x 0x20040521
2. Create "EXTROM" foder on your storage card, copy there the contents of EXTROM
folder from this archive. The full name of this directory on your device should
be "\Storage Card\EXTROM".
2. Flush the ROM
3. Make the hard reset (press camera+record+reset buttons, select "format storage")
4. Boot. During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder would be
installed. They are unsigned, so you should press "yes" when asked, and
install them to the default folder. This process would be silent on newer
builds of this ROM.
Note for modifying the EXTROM folder:
All CAB-files should have read-only attribute set. Otherwise they would be deleted after installation. This would be fixed in the future releases. And
Config.txt is renamed to Cfg.txt.
CAB files:
Missing-Files.CAB - must be always installed. Wizard's ROM is larger than ours, so several files had to be removed and placed to this CAB.
Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB
Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
Default_ie_view.sa.cab
Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB - these 4 are from original Wizard's ROM.
Camera2K5.cab - camera app and drivers
Note regarding "RAM Disk32". I recommend to move temporary internet files and install unnecessary apps there. Its contents would survive soft reset, but would be cleaned if the battery is removed. The RAM Disk driver is taken from www.buzzdev.net
Okay, so I got the ROM even before you posted this topic (after an hour you've uploaded it...yes, i do check the WM5_test folder on a regular basis, hehe) First impressions is that this ROM is fast, really fast, even faster than the Hima2BA port... I can't really call WM5 "slow" anymore now, it works very well. Gonna test it a bit more later today. And THANK YOU, as usual
Just turned on cleartype and the fonts looks a bit...I don't know...weird. I'm not saying that it is worse than in the older ROMs, it just looks different somehow. Or it's just me. Edit: yes, they *do* look different. I'd say they are nicer though...
install Camera2k5_1 ,it is owrking for camera , this rom fast than others, Pocker msn can't login " sorry, We are unable to sign you in to this service because we could not detect a valid server certificate. this can occur if the date on your device is different from today date.please check the date on your device and change it if necessary.
also missing phone icon at person settingn't set ringtone
hi mwang,can you tell me where can download Camera2k5_1 ,thanks
Mamaich, what can i say, outstanding, as usual...Testing now
great man...
picture and video application isn't working though :?
working awesome, does anyone know how can i install BT Tray?
thanks mamaich
In Phone, Options doesn't work, smartdialing doesn't work...
2. "ok" hardware button is mapped to "record" and this cannot be changed. Would investigate this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Strange. In my device it's mapped to the OK button as in 2003..
Bugs that I found:
1. MSN Messenger does not work
2. Phone Option does not work
3. Unable to assign picture from contacts
4. MP3 ringtone does not work
5. Voice Command BT Headset Dial (by renaming voicecmd.exe to sddialer.exe) does not work
MP3 ringtones work for me
Phone, Options isn't there. comfirm.
Hope to have a fix for that soon.
This ROM is a bit faster, but still no match for wm2003se speed..
Another problem is that I don't seem to be able to connect to the internet using AS, is it just me?
Guess it's back to 2003 for now..

I'm back to 2003SE too, currently doing restore. Guess have got to wait for some patches. I must say the speed of this is better then any other WM5 version.

I'll put together quickly a WiKi article with solution to the missing phone settings and such..stay tuned.
WiKi article with solutions and general info here (and also in my signature)
There are no notifications of current internet connection, i mean wifi bluetooth or gprs in the titlebar (like those in himalaya ported WM5)
There is still error when you press album icon in camera app, which can be fixed with installing album
The hardware button OK is mapped correctly , it works fine here
The record button is mapped as Voice Speed dial (the record app is there but doesnot work)
How can i get the tray icons of bluetooth and wifi ?
I like the new battery tray icon
Port to SX66
Great work Mamaich.
Installation was very smooth. The WIki solution to the missing phone icon was a big help. I prefer this version over the orginal WM5 or the himalaya version. I like the EXTROM installation. Not having a camera installed is a big help to SX66 owners, we don't have to deal with the sound issues. Finally got a midi ringtone to work with the wizard version, prior versions I had to convert the Midi to MP3. I have had it lock up on me a few times, but haven't figured out the cause yet.
Thanks again.
Hi there
I´m having some problems with the MediaExperiencePanel.
Problem is that I tried to run the R3A Mediapanel cab, (after installing the new R3A Panelmanager, that is working flawless, btw).
The R3A mediapanel, for some reason I don´t know, did not work, it kept lacking to the point of uselessness. So I tried to uninstall it, but with no luck, as it keeps saying that some files can´t be deleted. I manually tried to remove them with Rescoe or win commander, but no luck. When I try to install either the old R2A medapanel.cab or the new R3A mediapanel.cab, it keeps saying that the installation failed, so now have have no media panel at all
The 2 files, that I can´t delete is:
\Programmer\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\MxpProcess.exe
\Programmer\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxpFont.mxf
Any help will be greatly appreciated
This is beginning to get on my nerves
I suspect that the reason that I can´t delete the two files, is that the process "MxpProcess.exe" is running. But when I try to kill thge process, nothing happens?
Any help will be much appreciated
this one helps me - rename file MxpProcess.exe then soft restart and then delete file.
I've been trying to build my own ROM using osKitchen. Everything has worked and I've been able to upgrade a stock ROM to build 23569. The only problems I've had are with the panel and camera software. The panel and camera buttons on my phone don't work. Pressing either of them will give me an error that the program that should be launched can't be found. CameraRunner.exe is in the Windows folder. I am able to launch it but none of the icons for the UI and menus appear. I am still able to take pictures.
PanelManager.exe is different. When I run that I'm presented with a black screen. I am unable to do anything to close it. It hijacks the Today screen. Other than that the phone will still work normally.
I assumed that these problems were caused by changes I made to the ROM but that doesn't appear to be the case. I imported my stock ROM into osKitchen and built it without changing anything. The resulting ROM had the same issues.
I searched the forums but could not find a solution to this problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
For CameraRunner.exe, did you include the Xperia camera package?
For the Panels, you probably excluded one or more packages needed for this to run proper.
try this camera package

I initially thought that might be the case but I tried building the ROM with all original packages included and without any modifications and it still has this issue.

The package didn't help. Pressing the camera button gives me an error and the icons are still missing if I run CameraRunner.exe manually.
I was using OSKitchen too, having troubles(Not sure how to get it to the next rom or w/e) anyway to get camera to work, I used the X2 Camera Update as a package Use the Package Converter option up the top > choose cab > choose the camera > tick it > build ROM > Install ROM > Camera should work
Also my panel manager didnt work through OSKitchen either.
I figured out the problem. The alpha version of osKitchen doesn't copy the PROVXML files into the ROM, which means that the files for the camera and panel software won't be moved to their correct locations. The old version, 1.30v3, doesn't have this problem. The camera and panels work in the ROMs I've built using that version.
glad you could work it our
can you pls change thread title, like add [SOLVED] and rephrase to better describe the content?
thx a lot, appreciate your help
I added [SOLVED] to the title of the thread but I don't understand what you want me to rephrase.
hey, I meant it like this: you don't have problems with the file in one of the custom roms available here (with the need to just reinstall it) but while trying to cook your own and the problem was kitchen (oskitchen, alpha) related, so it would be nice to have that in the thread title to clarify the content and that it's dev related, nothing more, just a suggestion
thx and best
Hi, i just flashed My device and I really like My new rom but there are 3 Problems and I wanted to ask for some tips to solve them..
oh before I forget that: I don't use Manila if it's important
1. I want to close programs when I push the "x" button on the top for some seconds but it just closes and I have to open My taskmanager to close it.
how can I fix that?
2. When I open My Album all the Pictures in My Camera folder appear but when I push Albums on the bottom the other folders doesn't appear... Only the loading circle comes out on the top and then again the camera folder...
3. I cannot open My communications setup, to configure My internet via SIM card... It just doesn't work.. The windows appears and disappears again in the same second..
Are there any cabs to fix these problems?
Please help Me to fix these things..
that would be great.
Thanks to all of you
better tell what rom you flashed?
regards stef
I am using the nhathoa lite german rom
i am searching for the link but till now I couldnt find it...
aren't there any cabs to solve these problems?
no one with a solution?
help please..
ROM-Version
2.53.405.5 (23554) GER
System-Version
5.2.21898
1. If the ROM has the X button on the top right, go to Task Manager in your programs, the select settings and select close app instead of minimize when pressing X button. If it does not, then I would suggest Quick Menu to close your apps.
2. Almost sounds like it's not reading your storage Card. Go to Camera settings and select "save images to SD Card". In Manila, you can set your album tab to a specific folder in your registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCAlbum\favorite_folder=\\Storage Card\\"Your folder Location"
3. Did you hard reset after you flashed the ROM? You can try turning off Sense in your Home settings and try it again.
Hello, I was trying to cook a slim version of the R3A ROM by stripping out all the unwanted stuff from the stock ROM using the Kovsky Kitchen which I downloaded from some link somewhere. I decided to try out the leaked R3A Panel Manager and the beta MXP panel as both of them seemed to be faster than the stock version. But now, whenever I try to boot/reboot, instead of loading the MS Today panel, when the device is booted, it goes to the panel selection menu(the one we get by pressing the XPanel button). I tried to trace the problem and found that the ItemActive registry key was set to -1(ffffffff) instead of 0(00000000) whenever I select the MS Today panel. This was not the case with the stock Panel Manager.
Is there some way for me to fix this?
Is this a problem with the KovskyKitchen that I used?
If so, then, can anyone give me a download link to a kitchen that works fine with R3A stock ROM?
Or is this a problem with the R3A panel manager that I used?
I downloaded the panel manager from the wotid.com xperia panels page
