This is amazing. I just upgraded and it runs so much more smoothly than WM5.0 A03. Of course, I haven't loaded any programs yet, but so far I'm actually thinking about NOT downgrading to WM2003SE for the first time in weeks.
That's so GREAT!!!! Downloaded and installing it right now!!!!
Thank you very much MagLite!!!
MagLite!
King of x50v!!
Fantastic! but I wont the x51v version!!!
Is there any news about the x51v WM6??
OMG It's way faster than WM5.0 and it supports SDHC card!!!
(Sandisk 4gb SDHC)
Thank you MagLite!
Great job. I'm downloading now and will post if I find any bugs.
Thanks MagLite! You are amazing. I've been telling everyone I know about all the great work you've done.
One problem I've been having is with Windows Live. Whenever I try to sign in, I'm always told that it's unable to establish an internet connection. I'm able to connect fine over wifi with everything but Windows Live. It worked fine on WM5 A03 ROM, so it's something about WM6.
Thanks!
Excellent!
Wow nice work MagLite. I thought that Football was leading the WM6 development but it looks you have beaten him!
Excellent work!
Still waiting for WM6 on X51v....
great work...!!!
MagLite_RUS, i'm running wm5 AO3(your version)..so to upgrade just load your boot loader and upgrade from WM5 A03 to WM6 A01?
anyway great work..will post any bugs if found...but i think won't be having any as u guys have put in much effort to iron out the problems....

Hi Maglite, same issue here, windows live cannot establish an internet connection, I tried via wifi and bluetooth, and no luck, otherwise is working fine, I'll post which programs I've installed
Please try this Windows Live .cab (Download)

Unfortunately the same problem occurs with that one as well. I've also tried Windows Live version 10.6.0026.1400, which is the one I was using fine on WM5 A03, and it can't connect either. I've hard reset and tried both versions with no other software installed and it's the same problem.
I've googled the message and it seems to happen on some WM6 phones, something about it trying to connect via GPRS instead of Wifi...but that's just what one person said about their particular phone.
Testing,speed likes wm2003,much faster than wm5.
Question
Is it possible to downgrade WM6 back to 2003?
JD8052, yes it's possible

Original thread of this ROM (in Russian)
Any significant slowdown when filesys/compacting thread kicks in?
I assume if the sector size has been tweaked to 512byte instead of the default 4Kbyte, that should solve that issue.
MagLite-ПОЗДРАВЛЯЮ!!!
Does this work on x51v?
Maybe Football is working on a x51v version.
Congratulations!!!
But before I say "Wow", i would really prefer to know some things about this ROM.
1) I should of asked this footall earlier, but how come all of you guys (football, hachera, maglite) get rid of a vary valuable program transcriber on a PDA, and MSN (i don`t care too much about it since i will install WLM 10.6 instead). What`s with that?
2) So is it true that some of the bugs that football is still experiencing with his A17 Rom, like the CF card still doesn't work, are fixed, which makes it i guess this Rom somewhat more stable than Football's?
3) Most importantly, how this A03 ROM compete with Dell's A02 ROM regarding stability, speed, bugs, and of course that evil compaction thread?
4) Maglite, is your ROM as fast as Football`s?
5) How much free RAM memory left, and ROM at the start? (You forgot to mention that) Cause with Dell's i only had 26 MB of Ram, and with Ramdisk (4MB) obviously only 22MB.
6) Any software incompatibility issues? Would Dell GPS Navigation system still run on my Dell Axim x50v?
7) I`m not looking for an exact day, but how often do you think you will release a new updated Rom that will fix the bugs. ( i don't think it is a good thing for me to flash my Dell Axim every a couple of days just to be up to date). Would you be releasing patchs as well in order to fix bugs?
Once again thank you for all your efforts, Maglite, and i will probably update my device to your new Rom this weekends.
Xdenwarrior,
1) I do that because in Russia we didn't use this programs and i think if you want to use it, you can install it.
2) In this ROM, CF-Card works perfectly, and all another things in my and in Football's are same, because my ROM basis on A18 (test ROM).
3) In this ROM I used all OEM programs from A02 but SYS part of ROM too different from A02, and if I resolve all bugs from A02.
4) I don't really know, my ROM based on Football's rom and I think his ROM will little faster because x51v optimized for wm5.
5) With Page Pool Size = 12 MB I have ~27-28 MB free RAM after Soft Reset (on clean Device). If you need more free RAM space you should change size of Page Pool into 8 MB and have ~31-32 MB free RAM.
6) I tested many programs and i don't find program incompatibility issues. Flash ROM and test it!
7) If I can resolve bug by patch I realise patch.
what are the benefits?
hi maglite, great work with the rom. i would like to know what the pros and cons are, if i wanted to update? thanks
Any Compaction Thread Issues?
Thanks for the response, maglite. Just didn't get one thing - Is the compaction thread (caused by filesys.exe) is still a problem in your ROM? Does it still slowdown Dell Axim? (this question was posted right in the beginning of the post by "wuzy")
Also when Football confirmed that you guys going to keep all of the ROMs clean from any 3rd party software, would you still plan to replace the old WM5 office with Office 2007 Mobile, and Terminal Services Client with Remote Desktop Mobile just to keep up to date?
So what are your plans, maglite, for the future releases?

WM5 Rom for Axim X30
Would it work for Axim X30?, A03 that is AKU 3.5.2
Hey Maglite, i was wondering if you could create a ROM for a Mid X51? if not could u please PM me the link to the Axim Rom Kitchen?
Thanks,
Kurt
Hi
Very good job! Rom is a little slower than wm2003se but works fine. I found one bug. Sometimes when cpu is in auto mode clock don't slow down and then always run on 624Mhz. Can you fix it?
Thanks,
ziele
ps. sorry for my English ;P
Would it work for Axim X30?,

No, different drivers. This Rom is only for x50v and only.
Sometimes when cpu is in auto mode clock don't slow down and then always run on 624Mhz. Can you fix it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I personally don't think much of this as a bug, since i had the same problem with Dell's WM5 A02. My CPU only is stuck at 624mhz when on AC power, which i think it supposed to since the point of running CPU in Auto mode is mostly just to conserve the battery power.
But i definately agree with you, ziele, that WM5 is definately slower than wm2003se, but again it will somewhat always be due to ROM vs RAM. I'm more concerned about the compaction thread issue. Does anyone here know what "wuzy"(1st post, 1st page) was trying to say by this:"I assume if the sector size has been tweaked to 512byte instead of the default 4Kbyte, that should solve that issue."???
Refer here.
HP fixed in their latest official hx4700 ROM, but I don't think lazy Dell has.
I have X51v myself and just looking to pick a X50v up 2nd hand cheaply.
installed rom
hi, i installed maglites rom and the reponse time is faster than before. filesys still comes on but not as much as before. i tries patch_filesys but it does not work w/ the rom. using sktools, the rom sector size is 4096 and cluster size is 8192. maglites rom is better. needs more work w/ storage rom and filesys compaction. one question, how would you change the page file for more memory?
page pool?
Hey guys. Long time aximsite viewer but new to xda devs. Anyway I have been following the work you guys have been doing and praying for the day the X50V will have an AUK3.5 rom.
Well Its finally here so I am going to try it out in about 5 min after posting this.
On to one question I had, how do you adjust the Page Pool size as mentioned? Is it something that can be done in registry or is it a rom setting that needs to be done before flashing?
I could use a few extra megs of memory for some of my programs as long as it doesnt hamper the OS itself.
Hmm.
I do happen to have found a bug.
In the WLAN Utility. When I was trying to connect to a network. Everything works as normal the first time through except one thing. If you click on the Settings button and then click Configure Network Adaptors. You cannot go back to connect to another server or anything. Now every time you click on settings it goes dirrectly to the configure network adapters screen.
You probably can get past this with the Oddesy Client but It is a little annoying.
If this bug could be fixed that would be great.
Just letting you all know. (Also if anyone is not having this issue then I guess I can hard reset again and see if it comes back.)
i can't download from rapidshare.com
i'm vietnamese
can you send A01 + A03 to mail [email protected] or up to other host
ex: 4share.com ??
thanks
Sorry for the newbie ......
Hi, I'm sure that this is a very simple question, but, if I decide to o back to WM2003 on my 50v, how can I do that ?
I guess I need a ROM that will install using the SD bootloader, right ? Where can I get this image from, or am I being really silly ?
Thanks
Fred

Great, Maglite, I've been running your ROM's without hassle, thanks for your efforts, I'll report any bug if any.
Everyone, let's try to keep this thread as uncluttered as possible!!!
I copied this from the original WM6 thread as it seemed to have helped some people there:
Here is the way to get into the SD Image Loader on the first try (as one try is all it should take!). This is meant to supplement MagLite's directions (step 2 through 4):
Step 1) Press and hold the Power Button + WiFi (Hardware) Button
Step 2) While holding those two buttons, QUICKLY PRESS AND RELEASE the Reset Button on the back of your Axim. The "press and release" is for all practical purposes a simple "tap" of the reset button. NO NEED TO HOLD THE RESET BUTTON IN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. NO NEED TO PRESS THE RESET BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES.
Step 3) Continue to hold the Power + WiFi buttons until you see the white screen with a blue "banner" at the top which states the SD Image Loader version
Step 4) Once you see the above screen, release all buttons and the ROM image from your SD card should be listed on the screen
Step 5) Press the Center Button (this is what is referred to as the "Action Button" or "Action Key") on the D-Pad (front directional pad on your Axim) TWICE QUICKLY
Step 6) Sit back and wait for your device to flash with the ROM
Alarms bug already patched in this rom
RTM - release to manufacture
Does not having A02 boot loader have a down side ? I still show "SD Image Update A01" ... I have succesfully updated to PR1, RC2 & RC2 .. now I am updating to RTM
FYI,
I tried pagepool 4, 6, and 8megs of the A02 RTM rom and it made no difference in the ebook page down scrolling update mentioned in the previous thread (where when scrolling an ebook the first 20% of the screen updates then pauses and then updates the rest).
I'm just gonna stick with the pp 4 version as it is very good.
I hoped that saved some people some time.
Activesync in running programms
Hi :
I'd read all the posts since the first release of this WM6 and I have a question about the activesync. When I sincronice the pda, the activesync programm always stay in memory. Is there any programm to close it automatically when it stops the sincronization?
The filesys problem is a big problem to the user that are using the axim all day, like me. I have too the server patch, but the pda normally once a day I have to softreset it. I read a lot with the prssreader and i use it to put my notes, use the hp48 simulator in my work and read a lot of pdf files because I do not want to wear all the papers to my home. For me the axim is very important in my life and it is with me since 3 years with 3 batteries.
Thanks to MagLite to all his work

ALL Windows Mobile programs stay in memory.
Calendar, Contacts, Calculator..... everything.
You can get 3rd-party software that actually closes programs and that will also work on ActiveSync but the OS, out of the box, only closes programs as needed when resources get too low.
Battery Bar, Pocket Plus, WisBar, and a hundred more all have program closing capabilities.

MagLite has recommended that the A02 bootloader be used with the WM6 ROM as that is what he has used in all of his time developing the ROM.

2. internet via wifi still disappear several minutes after connection to AP. It is very strange because axim do not lost connection :/
excluding this two bugs rom works wery good. Thans Mag!
I heard people said that they had system sounds randomely dissapearing from time to time (I never had that problem) in that last RC2 Rom. Is that the case with this rom as well?
Gadienton, about the ebook page down scrolling, did you have the same problem in the original WM6 A01 Rom?

No, I didn't. A01 was fine. The ebook issue appeared with PR1, as I recall.
spb clone software
first of all, I'm really thanks to MagLite from his wm6 rom. anyone having this problem when using "Spb Clone", it come out error message "unable to read from file "\windows\compimeh.0409.dat" because it is blocked by the following processes:"NK.EXE" after the full backup is finish.If I'm not mistaken, it started after wm6 PR2 rom update, even this latest wm6 A02 RTM also. it work fine on previous wm6 PR1 & the A01 rom.

Yes. I flashed the RTM yesterday, reinstalled all my softs and sound were there. This morning, at statup, system hangs, after soft reseting sounds still there but after a couple of minutes disappeared reappeared and then again disappeared. It looks like a task came in conflict with the sound driver... very strange. I installed only Button magic 2.0, TCPMP 0.71 and Resco explorer 5.31 trial.
Hello again,
System is very often locked at 624Mhz in auto mode. utilisation is very slowed down. There is a task consuming ressources (probably filesys or some other). Any link with the sound disappear bug ?
stefano92, I don't really think that there is such fix as for sounds dissapearing as of randomely, but this I quess could happen. I never experienced this bug before (or yet), but I do know that some people even had those problems when running Dell's WM5 A02. So, really it's not a universal bug, and has nothing to do with Maglite's Rom, unless of course it is linked to one specific software that you installed, or everyone is experiencing this bug. (like we did before with an alarm). Try searching in the forums if you can find anything that will help you.
Overall, after all of those betas, it is a very good Rom, which really doesn't have any serious bugs (well, to my opinion). The Rom is actually fast by itself, but the compaction thread is teririble. I find it here worse then it was in WM6 A01. I really think it's due to a small page pool, considering that I run many programs, which requires lots of lines of code.
Now, Maglite, of course, if me being very picky, I would just like to point out a few things, and ask you a few questions (these are very very minor):
1) When you press 'start', then 'help', 'contents', 'manage your time', 'specify the sound for an event', scroll down to press 'adjust the volume for sounds', you will get the following message: Cannot open help. The file cannot be found.
And also when in 'help', 'contents', you press 'start using your device', and press 'what do those icons mean?' you will also get the same message, but the help page will display with some missing icons. I don't think this is a bug, but probably because you changed some icons graphically. Still, I would like others to see if this is a common problem.
2) Also, Maglite, how come when you pick what alarm you want to play, it only gives aside of other sounds, Alarm 2 and Alarm 5? Where is Alarm 1, 3, and 4, which are present in Windows folder?
3) Also, directed more towards microsoft, is there a way by default to use an mp3 song to set it up as a ringtone, instead of just using tbe ones that they give you? I thought they said somewhere that they anounced this feature in WM6.
Of course, I had when I just flashed my device a few glitches with wifi, and at one point I couldn't see any files in my CF card. But this happened before in WM5, and I think it is one time only.
Otherwise, going great so far.
And I think, I finally will start installing back all of my programs since i didn't before because of all of the bugs in the beta roms.
This seems like a finalized version to me.
You did a great job, Maglite.
Specially thanks to freepk, -QwertY- and my testers: Udaw and CatMan

Maybe I get a V900 later, before the Olympics....
Anyway, keep up the good work
Cheers,

About Wm 6.1 m600+ rom
Dear kozhura,
Really very great congragulations for your hard and promising work about the ETEN M600 and + roms.I have tried your rom wm 6.1 pro for M600+ just few days ago, and while eten company have forgotten us (eten m600+ users), you have come and saved us a prayer.I want to thank you sincerely.
Here are some little notes I would like to request support if you dont mind ;
1) After installing the WM 6.1 R2 rom from SDCard, in the first boot, the system hangs while installing the programs from extrom I suppose (I have read some post in Russian forums but frankly I could not understand anything from them, google and other translators suck while translating into English).My question is do I have to do something to stop installing extrom software or do I have to just soft reboot?
2) My other question is, after I installed the R2 rom from SDCard, there appears garbage characters in the boot Screen of my M600+, it is not a big problem but I think it is realated with the SDCard flash process.Can you advise anything about this?
3) There is also another guy called Santaclaus in Russian forums, I am sure you have heard of him, he also released a rom but wm 6.0 (yours is wm 6.1).In what ways is your rom different from this rom?
I pre-thank you for your replies my friends.keep up the good work.

Some little problem!
Hello,Kozhura:
I'm from china.Thank you for your hard work ! I download and flash the wm6.1 rom for m600plus last night,it work! 32M ram left when I boot the system.But I also find some problem :
1. GPRS can't use.
2. SDHC can't be read. When I want to install other SDHC driver ,for exampe : sdhc driver for X500 ,sdhc driver from 777 ,sdhc driver from xda developers ,it says install unsuccess .Only the sdhc driver from eten official can install success,but still can't work.
3. Wifi seems not stable. It worked when I just flash the rom ,it's last night . But at this morning ,after 10 hours ,when I want to open wifi ,it can't!
I reset system ,drop battery , all this methods can't work. I can only reset the system to default settings , and then the wifi work. I have installed Monster Chinese and ran spb backup to restore my backup of my pim and documents on the PPC.
Hope you Improvement for the rom!
1. GPRS doesn't work,even used the connection wizard
2. WIFI not stable, falied to connect the wifi in wireless manager. but after that, can use wifi in connection setting to connect wifi.
but anyway, thank you very much.

Attached below are various fixes/addons for my ROMs. I would add them to the image, but there are so many people that would, or would not want them in their ROMs. So CAB installs are the best of both worlds.
Good work and congrats. So wifi issue from Football's original rom is fixed?

Hi Lenny,
Apperently (sorry, I don't understand much of this), there are some certificates missing in the ROM. Are you able to use built-in VOIP?Is there something missing?

Well, for one, I've used the built-in VoIP for WM6, and I think it's a PPC Phone item only. The VoIP Dialer is built-in to the regular CDMA/GSM dialer that is in the Phone Editions only. So in order for me to add this, I'd have to also add the dialer, and being this is not a phone, that would cause even more errors. But, do correct me if I'm wrong.
I still can't believe but wifi seems to work fine! It ran the whole night and also after a softreset it stays on.. And even A2DP audio worked until I installed A2DP Toggle.. But I think I have to install good ol' broadcom stack
Thank you for this great work, i´ll try when i have time to reflash and install all the programs i have now with WM6
Update coming soon with the WPA Encryption fix, as well as some other stuff...
I am using this rom (thanks by the way) but when I try to set up me bluetooth GPS, it asks for a password, this did not happen with previous rom's. What should I do?

oh, I see, so it's like this,
the threads I referred to contained some CABs because not all phones have the VOIP in the ROM. But for us x51v fan's we miss some standard phone files on top of that, which explains why a number of users in this thread report the errors.
Ok, I just wanted to try the built in VOIP.
Thanks, Lenny, for the explanation.
Great Work!!!
LennySh you're the Man!!!!
Thank you for this!!!
Wow! Great Work!
WOW! This is great work. I will download, flash, and test.
Thanks LennySh

My First thanks to Maglite and Football. Maglite was the first to release a custom rom for the x50v, he was the one with Football to explain me about xip & xipport, when I registered to 4pda.ru. I must also thank dking that is always there to solve my issues with the 2700g drivers, he is also from 4pda.ru (the forum that makes you regret that you didn't practice russian enought after learning it at school).
These roms share the same kernel than the x51v's one and are directly derived from them. They are stricly for x50v, the one from the x51v are located here .
This thread is actually a continuation from this one, where I have also released a rom with the last WM6.1 build (dated sept 2009), that like those WM6.5 rom also offers finger scrolling feature. This thread is especially dedicated for 64 Mo devices.
Status of the roms:
Roms (5CFA) 5.2.28002 WM6.5.x WMD branch ( because it's lite it's no more "FingerUI"): classic lite release
A10: WM6.5.x Classic lite(28002) WWEhttp://rapidshare.com/files/315400244/WM50_K_A10_5CFA_X50v_WM65_WWE_lite.nb0.zip
features:
--Showcase.
--dking 2700G driver
--patched Wireless Manager
To add any other WM6.5 feature to the A10 rom try to use x51v A11 5A2D VOIP Professional extended packages (however I haven't check the compatibility).
--This branch has magnifier feature and new contact management.
This rom have a default page pool value of 4.8 Mo and will boot with more than 25 Mo free running with Titanium.
Roms (5574) 5.2.21876 WM6.5.x com2 ("Stylus UI"): classic lite release
A10: WM6.5.x Classic lite(21876) WWE
features:
--dking 2700G driver
--patched Wireless Manager
To add any other WM6.5 feature to the A10 rom try to use x51v A11 5A2D VOIP Professional extended packages (however I haven't check the compatibility).
The roms has a default page pool value of 4.8 Mo. The A11 rom will boot with more than 30 Mo free running with Titanium, you'll get more than 32 Mo if you disable Titanium. You can get even more if you tweak the rom.
(nota) IE6 Mobile is removed from all those roms. UC will install Office Mobile (+ locksreen dpi for 5CFA), and will kick with filesys.exe after reset, You'll have to wait 5 minutes to start benefit the full speed rom (when filesys goes down to 0% of cpu).
You can only flash your x50v with these roms, if your device is running WM5 aku 2.3.1 or higher. If you attempt to flash over a WM2003 bootloader, you will brick your device.
If you like my roms I hope you will make a small donation.
Awesome!
I have been waiting for a 6.5 X50V rom. This device still has life left in it.
Now to just get the 128MB ram upgrade.
Thank You!
Thanks
Downloading...
Will try this with my x50v, as the old 6.1 is not so good.
Thank You very much
Works AWESOME !!!
Very fast and stable, for now TomTom works there fast, as I use x50v as in car navigation system. Do you know how to put TomTom icon/shortcut on today screen?
Great, I already flash wm6.5. It works perfectly. Fast and stable.
Thanks, Makuu
Great! I have been waiting for a very long time for it, many thanks for the hard work!
I will try out. Thanks for your ROM.
Very nice, pretty good for stylusless operation. Love the touch to scroll.
Question: I've been hoping and longing (for a long time) to have the ability to completely turn this thing off, or do a "full power off", like the x51. I only use the device every now and then, and it pisses me off to no end that when I DO go to use it, half the time the battery is dead or almost dead. I had an x51 before this, that I sold, so that I could buy this one. I could go weeks without charging the x51, since I could shut it down, but not so with this here x50v.
Does ANYONE know how to full power off, or completely shut down an x50v with this ROM, or some other ROM? Thanks!
maybe try this: slide2shutdown
As for new ROM it works nice. I dont use device anymore but finally I got there WM6.5 with everything working. I am planning to use it as a mp3 player in my badroom. If I were not a student I would donate. Thank you for your work.
...the one week I decide to leave my X50v at home because I didn't think I'd need it, a super awesome development comes out for it. That's my luck, but I'll be sure to install this on my X50v (currently WM6.1) when I get home next week. It looks incredible!
Wow, great stuff Makuu!
Can't believe my eyes, WM6.5...
Great stuff Makuu!!!
I don't have my X50v anymore but I still want to acknowledge you for your achievements. Well done!
first attempt checksum error
second attempt in progress...
fingers crossed
second attempt image checksum error
third attempt reformat SD card and.... Success!
Ok, I think I need help with getting this to work.
First my setup:
Dell Axim X50v
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition v4.21.1088 (Build 14260.2.0.5)
Intel PXA270 CPU
65MB RAM
128MB ROM
A05 (07270500) ROM version
I downloaded the zip file - WM50_K_A10_5574_X50v_WM65_WWE_lite.nb0.zip
I formatted the CompactFlash memory card as FAT32, extracted the files to the memory card and plugged it in the PDA.
I did a Wireless + Power + Reset and the option comes up. But it did not find the flash file.
What am I missing?
Thanks,

Yes, I did it.
hey how to unlock? i have pressed lock and i can't unlock it now i see word 'slide' but don't know what to do...tried tapping the whole screen and still nothing
do'h
it sure looks awesome. only prob is wireless isn't working. i'm connected to my AP, but there's no actual connectivity this is great work, don't want to take away from it! but its not very useful without internets
Wireless works on my device with this rom without any problems.
Hmm, I used the 28002. Did you use the other?
