I will pay for a WM6 ROM for hx2795 that really works

Hy Guys, I was looking at the thread in the forum, I need a WM6 ENG Rom for IPaq hx2795 that really works. I can pay by PayPal, let me know who has it or can generate it. I am really tired of WM5, it is very slow and freezes all time. Tks.
Maybe to give a try to kozhura's AKU3_52_hx2000 (WM 5.0 English) for IPAQ hx2000 series. I tried it to my hx2490b and is faster than the original. Look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326214&highlight=hx2000
I think works for your device, and someone allready try it.

Hi,
How is it going, please let me know once you flashed the ROM,
hi nunesfl,
every thing works fine except A2DP, Did you give a try yet ?
This wm6.0 also has the same BUG of battery drained by automatic active sync running.
ABOUT A2DP:
I think someone here must contact Khozura, he successfully make a2dp worked on hx4700 BT either on WM5.0 & WM6.0 by special patch cab.
Please someone here who knows Khozura ask him to make a patch for hx2000, thus we can enjoy a2dp.
Please..please....

Another BUG in WM6.0:
When using TCPMP player, you can not hear any audio from wmv video. Strange?? I can play and hear the same video at WM5.0.

I have used this rom on a hx2190, and i have found it impossible to sync my calander, being unable to use any of the windows live programs and there is no remote desktop mobie. Apart from them it seems to work
Hi all, I put it in my hx2795, the A2DP does not work, the fingerprint reader does not work, the TCPMP sometimes work and not with AVI and does not work with WMV.
I can not see the contrast and error reporting tools, I saw a post where the developer said it is a case of editing the registry but does not say where...
The boot at first time did not work I was in panic, after that took out the sd and cf, drained the battery and retried, it booted but I am afraid of rebooting it again...
I did not try Windows Live and sync calendar, hope it works...
I have tried other tools (excel, word) and it worked well.
I am not sure this ROM is stable yet, any sugestions ? should I try reflash it back to WM5 or there is anything I could do to minimize these problems and keep the WM6 ?
Please help.

OK,
I am having the same hx2795 and I found the following
a) Active Sync is working, When I tried at first time it didn't work. After I did a hard reset then I enabled "Advanced networking" from the "USB" settings menu then it worked
b) Sync over Exchange server working fine
c) WiFi is working, I checked with WEP security
d) Bluetooth is working but A2DP is not working When I tried "High Quality Audio Profile" it says authentication failed, I never see it is asking me for the pass key, so I guess that may be the problem
e) TCPMP works fine for FLASH and AVI movies, WMV does not work because WM6 uses a higher version of codecs, so you have to use WMP or you need to replace the WM5 codecs, search through over the forum you will find a solution
f) Finger print authentication works great.
g) Windows Live and messenger is not working, it says there is no connectivity and I don't know what is the deal. But IM+ is working just fine
h) You can install Finster-WM6_RDP.cab as a Termial Service client, it is very good than the inbuilt RDP client in the original HP ROM and it allows you to connect services that use custom ports
i) ROM seems to be stable and I don't have any problem with other functionalities atleast untill now

Hi,
even I don't see the contrast and error reporting menu, so I guess it might be work for some other hx2000 series and not for hx2795, or it may be some registry hack, I don't know

Dell Axim X51v downgrade WM6->Wm5?? Help Me!!

I want to downgrade my axim x51v from Wm6 to Wm5 but I couldn't do it. Can anyone help me!!!
thanks All!!
Here is a link to the files for the Dell Axim X51v A012 ROM. Someone posted this a while back under the A03 thread. I have used these with my Ax with success, but bear no responsibility if they don't work for anyone else. These must be flashed using the SD Bootloader method.
To read the steps for flashing from SD, look in WM6 A03 Thread.
Code:
http://rapidshare.de/files/38265426/x51v_Dell_WM5_A12EN.rar.html
If I might suggest, try the Wm6 upgrade again. I really like Wm6 A03 RTM, and the only reason I have this A012 ROM is because I had to downgrade and reupgrade, because my ax didn't like the fact that I went to A017 inbetween. Everything works well for me now.

Have you tried doing it with the original Dell firmware software (on the CD)? I read somewhere in this forum that you can use it to fix a bad flash, I never did myself (very happy wm6 user).
HELP ME!
Hi Friends!
You can upload this ROM again!? WM5.0 ???
I´m need this! Please!
Thanks a Lot and Big Hug for ALL!
This is old but felt nostalgic today.
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RULE #7 VIOLATION
Follow this to downgrade but be warned the Axim or just old PDAs are picky on the SD cards you use, or maybe how its formatted. dug up many sd cards and micro sd adapters until i found one that finally worked. Also be patient because its slow to flash image.
Used a Nokia branded 1.0GB sd card that i dont remember where i found it, formatted on windows 11 to FAT32 and maybe guiformat-x64.Exe (so many sd cards and formatting combos)
Edit: mod removed link because it had an offer to do the downgrade but had isntructions on how to do it, wont post again but its been posted around here before, i was not trying to sell anything.

Newbie overwhelmed and confused (dell axim x51v upgrade and cf related issue)

Hi All,
Sorry to be a pain but wondering if anyone can help a newbie in over his head.
I have a dell axim x51v. Ive upgraded to wm6.1 lennysh A07 and all was fine. I then purchased a cf gps receiver and obviously found that it has no cf support. I then decided to downgrade back to the dell official a06 release of wm5 and install the patch to get cf support. The dell app that i downloaded times out when trying to install it which i presume is because of the non standard image on the axim. Ive also tried doing it via sd update but the bootloader says the dell image is not a valid rom .
Could anyone please explain how i can either downgrade back to the original dell rom or install a new rom (pref wm6.1) that will support my cf gps receiver?
Thanks very much in advance if anyone can help, id be extremely grateful! Great forum btw! You guys are geniuses!
oh, and ive tried to search and found a couple of links but they seem to be about 150 pages long and for the life of me i cant find the info i need.
sorry again for being useless!

Do you have the A12 SD image files? If not, I found them from HappyMM's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1376710&postcount=140. I was able to flash back to A12 using these files on SD card, when the Dell installer wouldn't work, for an x51v that I had to return for exchange.
I have no CF issues with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384266
I am using CompactFlash GlobalSat GPS (sirf star III) with TomTom 7 and Garmin Mobile XT (coz they have Mexico maps). Works perfectly with this ROM and Footballs A03 ROM. Also use a Hitachi 8GB CF card in there when GPS unit is not in use and no CF issues.
Do not go back to WM5 unless you tried everything and it didn't work for you.
Thanks to all for your comments, turns out it wasnt anything to do with the roms at all. It was the actual device itself which was faulty, found out after about ten hours of troubleshooting.... sheesh
I would agree, do not go back to WM5 if at all possible. All of the ROMs I have tried for WM6 and WM6.1 have been nothing but positive on the speed of my unit and the stability of my unit.

HP Ipaq 4700 upgrade query

Hi guys,
I am a newbie here so please go easy on me. I have a HP Ipaq 4700 with WM2003 and would like to upgrade to the WM6.1 as advised in this forum. I have few queries and would be very grateful if any one could help me. here it goes....
1. Which WM6.1 version is the most stable version out there? I came across this website from a fellow forummer and which version should I use?
http://www.winmobile.us/hpmain.htm
2. What are the correct procedures to do it properly. If i follow the instructions from the above website then will it suffice?
3. I would like to use my pda as a mobile internet device when i am out and about. is it possible? and what should I use to achieve this? I would like to get GPRS/HSPA internet access via a mobile phone sim and can an adapter be used or bought?
4. Will upgrading to WM6.1 increase the SD or CF2 card slot capacity? If so what is the maximum SD card it can take? Will it take High capacity SD cards? If not then what is the maximum capaity I could go for?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks
Rooban
