Cool
Seems to be a very clean n fast rom

How about black and white or some other contrasty colours? That would realy increase usability in bright light. I like big keypad for same reason - maximum thumb friendlieness.
The green colour does look nice tho. I like the top bar, the flat look.
Just my 0.02.

black theme planed too

Released!
Just try it and let me know if you like it!

hi,
can u please provide version / build of this rom ?

Hello !
This rom looks very nice, but I don't succeed in installing the nbh file.
I have copied the file into my micro sd (2 gb) card (on the root : \Storage card\ARTEIMG.nbh), but when I reboot by pressing voice command button and soft reset, I just see the three color (blue, green and red), and nothing happened...
Did I made something wrong ?
Thanks.

So how can I install this rom ?
Thank you.

Same problem, but not cidlock.

When you reset your ppc don not wait till you see the three-color.
Just before that you will see a counter left lower corner. If you see that counter then push the volume button down.

Hi,
seems to be a nice rom. is it possible to extract the dial pad? i urgently need a green dial pad which is similar to yours.
thanks in advance

I did the upgrade from Jasjar WWE to Dopod CHT. Here is how I did it:
1. Connect JJ to ActiveSync thru USB and wait till the sync session is completed.
2. While the sync is still active, I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. After a few steps of checking, it will disconnect ActiveSync and put the JJ into the bootloader mode.
3. The upgrade will halt with a country code error. No upgrade has been performed yet.
4. Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again while the cable is still connected and JJ still in bootloader mode. I was prompted that I am upgrading from [Blank] to [NewVersionNumber]. Click "Next".
5. The ROM will be upgraded this time till it's done. It took about 20 minutes.
6. I pressed both softkeys and reset. When the reset prompt comes up, I pressed "0" to reset to default factory settings. After some booting time, JJ starts to speak Chinese.
I upgraded to Chinese ROM because the Chinese plug-in I used to use for English ROM is kind of buggy on WM5. Thanks to everyone on this forum.
There are a few things I did after I upgraded to CHT ROM:
1. Changed the system font to the more artistic Kai font (from KAIU.ttf on a Windows machine). The original system font was MingLiU, which looked kind of scrawny on a VGA screen.
2. Re-enabled ClearType for the system and PIE. For some reason, Dopod disabled ClearType settings so the user cannot turn on ClearType from the user interface. I used a registry editor and modified a few keys to get the ClearType feature back.
With the Kai font and ClearType, the screen becomes a lot more readable and very pretty! If someone is interested in step-by-step instructions, let me know, and I will post them.
By the way, I was so excited when I discovered the im.tv site actually works for me in USA. I was able to watch the TV news in Taiwan in full VGA screen.
One difference I noticed is that with the WWE ROM, I can very easily set up Bluetooth ActiveSync. With the CHT ROM, the device can only discover the serial port service on my computer, but not recognize its ActiveSync capability. If someone knows how to correct this, please let me know.
Also, in case you don't know, the keyboard mappings between WWE and CHT ROMs are slightly different. The SYM key is swapped with the ";" character, probably because SYM is hardly used in Chinese input. The shortcut "FN + ;" can toggle the English and Bomopofo modes. Note the ";" character is now on the SYM key of JASJAR.

Hi yyl :
Can you tell me how to change system front to Kai ?
Thanks
1. Copy KAIU.ttf from a Windows machine. Paste it into the Pocket PC's "Windows" directory thru ActiveSync.
2. Using a registry editor (like PHM RegEdit), BACK UP your registry first! Then go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink\". Change the data of "Courier New" and "Tahoma" keys to "\windows\KAIU.ttf,DFKai-SB".
3. Soft-reset your device. Now all the Chinese characters become Kai font. It is not very smooth, because ClearType is still disabled.
4. To enable ClearType, this is how I did it. Maybe some steps are not really necessary.
5. Using the same registry editor, search for the keyword "cleartype" in all the keys and values. I found three matches. I set ClearType=1, NoClearType=0, ClearTypeText=1 respectively.
6. Soft-reset your device. You will see that the system ClearType is still disabled. Go to "Settings -> System -> Screen -> ClearType" to enable ClearType. This option was originally hidden from end users. Now it's visible. Once you check the "Enable ClearType" box, the font will immediately smooth up.
That's it. One thing worthy of note is, KAIU.ttf seems to only have traditional Chinese characters, not simplied Chinese. I am not sure.
Thanks yyl , I will try it today

Can you upload KAIU.ttf which I can't find in my window machine, Are you used Chiese window system ? mine was English + language pack
The KAIU.ttf comes with many versions of Microsoft Office of many languages. When the Asian character support is selected during installation, Office will install some extra Asian fonts for you. This is one of them.
Anyway, I uploaded this font to ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
I don't know if this upload is appropriate. If it is not, the board moderators, please feel free to delete it. Thanks.
The principles that I outlined above should work with any TrueType Chinese font that you like.

Yes, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, KAIU.ttf seems to include only traditional Chinese. The MingLiU font that came with the Dopod ROM has both traditional and simplified. I presume there are many third-party fonts on the market that support both. Note that fonts supporting both styles tend to occupy a lot more space.

Guide to upgrading Universal with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method
1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)
2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder
3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)
4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”
5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD
6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode
7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub
8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.
9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next
10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!
Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.
I hope this post helps someone as looking around the forum Im amazed by the amount of people asking “how do I upgrade my rom” or “I only get a “country id error” when trying to update”
The “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” file can be found here
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip

Oh and if anyone thinks Ive missed something out please post and let me know!

Yip, sorry, That's correct. I get the screen that says I have to press 0 to reset or X to exit.
If I press 0 the screen goes blank and stays like that.
I've installed the previous ROM now and it is working perfectly. It's just the new ROM on this page doesn't want to work on my Jasjar.

I downloaded it straight from the first post and it installed flawlessly...
Have you tried installing it from bootloader mode instead of direct update? And without SD card in the PDA? This might work.
BTW, I have returned to the older ROM.... advantages don't outweigh the disadvantages.
My phone keeps on hanging (for the 1st time ever after 5 months use and different ROMs) on the screen where it shows whose calling. I havent answered the call yet but it stops ringing. When i open the PDA it has ANSWER on the left softkey and pressing this doesn't do anything. Will wait for the release..
It is a lot faster thought (the test ROM)
Thanks for the info. I'm not gonna bother upgrading now. I'll wait for a decent ROM later.
Thanks m8
umm - stupid question I know.....
But what does this actually DO??
I understand that this will upgrade the radio stack and thus produce better reception etc - but what else will it do??
If I have an Orange M5000 will I still be able to use it on Orange's network?? Do i need to fill in any settings? Do I need to make notes of certain stuff beforehand? If so - what settings?
I assume this will totally rewrite the registry and what programs are on teh device - or will it??
I suppose a lot of this information is available on the forum - but tracking it down can take a lot of time for someone who's not necessarily that 'au fait' with the working of the device.

Fix for Font Problem with new imate ROM and Opera

There's two ways you can fix this.
First:
1) Buy Tweaks2k2 and install on your imate Product
2) Using the Tweaks Program, change the system font
3) Soft Reset using psshutxp (NOT USING THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) Start Opera (Problem is solved)
5) (Optional) Run Tweaks2k2 again and change system font back to original (Tahoma). Soft Reset again using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
Second option (because I'm cheap and I don't want to buy the program:
1) Look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../html/cgconreplacingwindowscedefaultfonts.asp
2) Using a Registry Editing Program, go to the registry entries listed in the link above and change the name of the font (i.e. "Nm") to Courrier New. I recommend you do this to all 4 registry lines (Someone who's smarter than me can figure out which one specifically does the job).
3) Once you've changed the "Nm" entry of the 4 listed registry keys listed above, do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) After reboot, run Opera and the problem is solved.
5) (Optional) Go back and change the 4 registry keys to their original value (Tahoma) and do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON) Hope this helps.

Just copy verdana.ttf from your computer to your /windows/fonts directory on your Universal.

goxboxlive,
Thanks for the comments. I tried you're way as well. You're right, its even easier. However, if folks want to put a custom font on their machine (way off topic), they can use the registry edits I used above. I've been playing with it for a while now. I had no idea you could do all this stuff. Fun.

Can someone explain what the 'psshutxp' is?
Thanks
psShutXP:
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/
It's a skinnable little app that allows you to turn the screen off (not just backlight - separate utility as well), soft reset, power down, and hard reset. I use it to turn the backlight off and do a soft reset if I can't find my stylus.
Note that the recommendation is probably made with regards to the soft reset otherwise possibly being done before the registry/file changes are written away. You can alternatively wait a while, or try to power down the device fully (hold the on/off (standby, really) button for a while, and you should get a prompt).

Re: Thanks....
Actually I copied Arial.TTF into the font folder and it became the default font. Tried calbri instead and it too worked..
BUT once you have added a font to the directory I cant seem to delete it.
What I am having happen, is the keyboard pops up as soon as Opera opens, when I close it Opera unboots, ditto with IE now..

Asus P750 - upgrade to VGA - How stable??

I saw the thread on this forum about the VGA ROM for the P750...
Unfortunately I am not an expert at all and perhaps maybe not the right place here for me to ask but here it goes,
Can I easily install and remove the ROM in case the the VGA patch starts bugging? and how do you install the ROM, is there are step by step manual floating around?
any feedback greatly appreciated!
bras
Hi, I did install the VGA ROM vers. 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK and also tried the 0.17 by Sorg.
I didn't link the dual-mode keyboard (RUS-US) of the 0.17 and I think it has a higher memmory comsumition. So, I prefered the 1.02.
The 1.02 is stable, and the only problem I noticed is about the Live Messenger that do not works. The VGA screen is realy better!!!
If you do not like, you can install other dumped ROM or one of those you can find at asus website.
To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset.
To install de Shipped: put the .cap file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + up + power + reset.

Depends, if your ROM is avaiable at Asus site you dont. Mine was WWE UK, there has just WWE SG, TH and MS at asus site. I restored my to SG with no broblems, just did the forced mode 1st and after coud do the normal one.
Wich ROM is currenty on your device (settings/ system / system information / version)?
I am running the VGA 0.17 Base and am very happy with it, only the Keybaord Thing drives me crazy and CoolCamera is a bit crappy......... But once you have seen the VGA, believe me you dont want to go back to QVGA. Also WM6.1 more stable in my Opinion than WM6.0 and few nice Things like a real Taskmanager......... attached a screenshot !!
I am using ROM version 4.8.4 NLD_NL00? is that for the Netherlands?
To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset........................
how hard can this be?
I installed 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK file but when I (try) to press all 4 buttons above a screen comes up saying
Flashrom Update.....
IPL: iplPegP_4H3
but nothing really happens
what s going wrong? how u press all these buttons together?
Right Hand on Voice Button and Slider, left hand on J/Stick Press Reset w Stylus using your mouth....... Remember when flashing from SD Card only plug-in Cable after this...
Also for Cap File J/stick up and for nbo File J/stick up.....
sorry for this long message but I need to get this device running VGA along with another 3 collagues who will be operating the same device
to flash ROM/install the VGA patch ::
On the Asus mobile club it is explained as:
The way the first - with MicroSD card
1)take (preferably clean, just formatted) MicroSD card no more than 2GB (MiniSDHC PODOYDET NOT!) And copy it, the root, file PegasusP.nb0
2) present the card into the phone, the phone or connect to a computer or to power supply.
3)joystick down and slide the button to switch off the top Hold these buttons in a position to release and push briefly reset (now come in such rastopyrku ASUS!).We continue to hold the button until butbloka server It shall commence proceedings firmware
ok so installing the root folder which is thiS? My MicroSD folder is completely empty and how do I know it s not HC?
for the record, the joystick button needs to pressed down or up? manual above says down, you say up!
thanks for yr help
it seems to work now to some extent
in the boot menu it says ' PEGASUS NBO not found'
I checked in mobile explorer, the file is sitting there..
coulld it not work because my p750 is running on a Dutch ROM??? (the WM language is Dutch witch is not changeable it seems)
Copy The File PegasuP.nb0 to the just formatted Card, remember you must format FAT16 !! and then it should find it.......
Oh the the Card will say HC on it if it is !! To flash to another Asus OEM Rom (like WWE English) put the AsusP750.cap File on the Card and do the same Procedure only push the Joystick UP, then it will ask to be plugged into either USB or Charger Cable, after you do this the Boot will start. Then extract the the whole OEM Firmware onto the Card and upgrade again.

Hi All,
Will the above describe procedure force-load a ROM that is from a different region than the original ROM? There are some new 6.1 WWE ROMs on the ASUS website, but I can't get them to load since my phone is not from any of the regions available.
Has anyone tried the new ROMs? Any recommendations?

Yes it will force it to flash whatever region your device is from. As always use at your own risk.

Original English WM 6.0 ROM for M88 MiPhone available for download!

English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) for M88 MiPhone
Please download from here
If somebody knows how to enter the bootloader mode of this phone please share here with us!
Here is the instruction for this procedure from the supplier which is nor working for me:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
If somebody can manage to install the ROM please write here the steps!
Thanks!
You can get to the flash update by pressing RESET, MENU, and POWER all at the same time, then release RESET first and wait for a message. The message will tell you to release POWER to do a hard-reset or MENU to do a flash update. In this case, you will release MENU first, then you will get a message asking if you want to update from SD. At this point, none of the buttons do anything so I assume you have to tap the touchscreen. My touchscreen is broken so I couldn't get any further than this.
Problem Fixed!

Thanks for your help, m8. It didn't work that way for me. I was adwised to do this:
1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"
2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32
3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.
4. There are two possible options from here:
a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."
b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -
5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart. After the restart - voila! There was the English OS loaded on my phone and everything was working perfect!
Hope this to help to other people too!

Check this out:
Resco explorer
Pocket Mechanic
Pocket Toolman
Resco is very useful thing so the other two are very powerful as well. You will definetely uninstall S2U2 with more than one of them.
Good luck!

problems
i have a daxian +999
i flash it whit that file it work but now i have a white screen the phone looks like ok but nothing shows in the screen only a white screen what i can do ??
My touchscreen does work but I get the white screen asking me "updated from SD card?" then it just sits there. I dont have a keyboard to hit Y. None of the buttons do anything. Touching the screen does nothing.
*edit* figured it out. You just keep holding the power button down. Then it flashed to a solid purple screen. I went wtf.... it screwed up again? then after a few minutes it booted up.
problems in m89
hello, I recently bought a M89.
In general the phone is great, but mine has a very big problem.
As a PDA it works great, but when I insert my SIM card the phone just freezes. It works for just a minute after the SIM is inserted. I've even been able to make one or two calls before it freezes.
But past one or two minutes it just stops working. It doesn't respond to anything at all, the only solution is to remove the battery.
I think the problem is in the firmware. I've reinstalled a bunch of diferent firmwares: wm6 english, wm6.1 spanish, wm6 english again... and nothing works.
can anyone help me???, 'cause this is really killing me :'(
Thanks in advance!

Just wondering - What is the size of your microSD card.
As far as I know m88 does not support SD card greater that 4 Gb by default.
Please, let us know.
Updated from SD Card ?
Hello, first of all I want to say thank you because I learned a lot from this thread. I bought M88 phone some months ago and is the first time I cannot use ( I really don't know what went wrong but finally the phone is not working or frezze ).
I bought 2Gb card and was formatted in FAT32. I also complete all steps in order to load the original image but I got this message: "updated from SD card?" and nothing more... What button must be pressed ?
I'll go crazy... do you know what's the next step ?
Thank you very much.
i dont understand sorry. i have to copy the "update" imgfile and rename it as "uploader"... and leave this two files : "update and uploader" in the root folder ?
I've install ROM from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452848
and now, when I try power on my MiPhone - it show only white screen - please help!
bootloading
the file, atleast on windows 7, shows up as "update". Also, I found it works must faster and easier to make 3 copies (4 files total)
naming 1: update.img
2: uploader.img
3: Update
and 4: uploader
(so the last 2 don't actual have .img in the title)
Then just make sure you hold down both the buttons, and vuo-la! haha
Doesn't fix the MMS problem though.
Does anyone know how to make it so that it can use mms?
Miphon m88
Danke es funktioniert supper !!
i got white screen too ;[ how to fix my phone now ;/ i dont see enythink ;[
