[Solved]Patching htcalbum to make it work on acer f1... - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hey guys i got a question for ya,me and hdubli have been for the past few weeks trying to make the htcalbum work on our acer neotouch s200 devices, cause we cooked a manila 2.5 rom, and we cant get the htcalbum to work, doesn't matter what version we try it wont execute, we heard that the exe needs to be patch to work on non htc devices, the only problem is we have no clue how to do it, i tryed doing it my self, by comparing the old manila 2d htcalbum for non htc devices, using restorator 2007, but i fail at finding the correct hex string to change..any suggestion or idea that anyone might have, will be greatly appreciated.

Autoconfig.exe and Autoconfig.txt file

is these still "active" in winmob 5.0??
if so can someone post them for me pls?
I need to script some stuff and have not gotten my device yet
thx!!!
I've got wm5 on my ba now, but it appears that there isnt even an extended rom, so autoconfig.exe isnt even there...
ah bummer!
maybe will the old still work?
or does it need a recompile to support winmob 5.0 from the author??
does the \2577\ trick still work?? or is there some new number??(new cpu)
I used the old setting CAB file with the old trick \2577. It work nicely on WM5.

Ipaq 3970 to WM 5.0

Hello,
im an old reader of this form, cause im reading it since 2 years, but never tryed to write something.
Now im really interested in this... the upgrade of an ipaq 3970 to WM 5.0.
I know that noone tryed it, cause i really couldnt find anything on interent. But i found that someone update its ipaq 5450.
So the two has the same hardware i think apart the processor (new version) and the wifi.
So... someone can help me or explain me, cause i really cant get nothing until now.
I tryed with the described method for 5450 to update, but the Hima update tool isnt able to connect to my ipaq.
Every help will be appreciated,
thanks,
Tommaso
i've yet to have confirmed anybody ever porting a rom from one device to anohter even if the hardware was somewhat the same
h5450 to WM5
Could you maybe post some more info - links on this upgrade of h5450 to WM5? I'd like to try it. I've done few attaempts which have failed, btu so have others to upgrading to WM2003. But maybe I'm doing something wrong.
please post more info.
Cheers
Y
Uhm... i dont think that here i can write links or something else about a software that sure is warez.
So u can find it easily on p2p channels, but i dont know really if it works. From what is written yes and i can believe this yes, cause i struggled much and i could update my 3970 bluetooth stack to the very last one stack outta there of Broadcomm and make it work. So i suppose that there arent so much differences from pda to pda.
iPAQ 3970 to WM 5.0
Yes, I'm interested in it too!
Can any one guide me how to do it in kitchen ? !
many thanks!
As a user of Familiar Linux on a few different Ipaq devices I can confirm that the 3900 and 5000 series use the same installation file for installing Linux, so it may be possible to 'cross-flash' both these devices, however as always, make sure you have a good OS restore file available.
Actually perhaps the best way to go would be to use the OHH bootloader used in installing Familiar to save a ROM image file before trying any exotic upgrades, might help in any unbricking that may be necessary if things go wrong....

Good Link & WM5

Hi all,
I'm loving the WM5.0 ROMs, however I cannot seem to get GoodLink to install (it claims my version of WM is unsupported). I've noticed for some other platforms, people have managed to change their WM version number to effectively combat this (fooling GoodLink to install).
Any idea how I can change the WM version number to fool GoodLink to install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
if you provide me with the install cab i may help, but first i have to look at it
Sure, I've uploaded the install cab here.
Thanks a lot.
First i think this is smartphone release, not pocketpc one, second your link does not work
Apologies.
Here is the correct file. I selected the wrong one
Matt
I dont know what this software is, and how to configure it but here is working WM5 cab of it, it installs and the some kind of setup wizard comes up, and then it asks for email and for pin
Thanks for your help. However, the issue with GoodLink is that it does a check after you enter your PIN on the WM version. At this point, it sees my BA is 5.1 (not 5.0) and fails the install.
I've seen other ROMs change the version number to avoid this problem and didn't know if it's something that's easy to do (either via a hex editor or a registry fix).
Cheers,
Matt
it is compatible with older wm5 roms without the 5.1 core, i am not sure where is the correct address to change for blueangel
and i think that it is time for them to update their app, there are no WM 5.0 devices anymore on the market
Thanks xplode, I'll try finding, downloading & installing a 5.0 ROM tonight then and see if it all works.
Agreed that they should update their software!
Matt
Just a followup to the above, I cannot seem to find any older images for download, the earliest I can find is "xplode_AKU3.3_Beta1_R1.rar" which still has a 5.1 core.
Any ideas where I can get an older WM5.0 image from? I'd go back to 2003, but that's not supported either (between a rock and a hard place with GoodLink!)

WM 6.1 Treo 700wx HELP! My rom acts like it's read-only...

I have a wm6.1 rom for the treo 700wx. I have ported the XIP and the OEM from wm6. The SYS folder has been ported from another device. The rom boots, however I seems like the whole file system is read only or write once from certain applications. For instance, I can create new folders using file explorer, but I can't move or delete them. However, totalcommander can. Notes can create, edit and delete files, but file explorer cannot move or delete them.
I have checked the XIP, OEM, and SYS folders. Everthing seems to be correct. I even tried changing the device security policies, and device encryption through provxml. Nothing seems to work. One other thing to note is I cannot disable encryption on the storage card. I uncheck it, exit the encryption control panel, and when I reenter its checked again.
I saw one other post that had similar issues, but there were no replies. Can some one please point me in the right direction for a fix?
When I get these issues fixed, a clean wm6.1 rom for 700wx will be posted for everyone. (No stupid, "BETA - Build your own rom". I promise...)
Anybody?...
OK. I dumped wm6 from the 750 from the at&t update, and used that sys folder with my rebuilt wm6 OEM from the verizon 700wx 6.0 rom. After build and flashing I have the same issues on wm6. So I'm beginning to think it's my xip that is the problem. So, I am going to port the 750 wm6 xip from the 750 and try that in my windows mobile 6.0 rom. We'll see if that works. Could still use help from anyone who has seen this issue before. I know there are others who have had this problem...
Still know responses? Am I really the only one who has ever run into this problem. There was another posting, but no fix.
I guess nobody wants a 6.1 rom on their 700wx...
I desperately want 6.1 on Sprint 700wx
I hope you have made progress with th 6.1 ROM for the Sprint 700wx. I really like that form factor (giving up on my mogul). Please let me know. thanks.
Found the problem. The verizon 6.0 rom is screwed up. I started with the alltel 5.0 rom, and upgraded to 6.0, and then to 6.1. I am testing the rom now. A release will be coming soon.
Thanks for staying on top of this! We really do appreciate the work you're doing.

here you are (add www in front of the address), but it´s the newer version WM 6.5 23518 for Acer N311. It´s the russian version, so if you can´t read their pages (4PDA) I don´t think you will be able to operate the system...but, it´s your choice ;-)
anyway we will have to wait further for translation...
Thank you very much

Test
Hi guys,
Did someone test it? Any updates?
Thanks
Hi, tested WM6.5 ROM 23518 release date 2010/5/02..there is no newer since this date. Tested on Acer N311, it´s slower than WM6.1 Football Edition and also uses more memory...that influenced mainly using the PDA as GPS navigator (iGO8 navigation software had serious problem caused by insuficient memory space). I´m going to upgrade my PDA to 128MB RAM and then try again. =) have a nice weekend!
Trying to install WM 6.5 on my Acer n300
Hi Guys,
I know this thread is quite old, but hopefully someone will answer me.
I'm trying to upgrade my Acer n300 (WM 5.1.476 (Build 15704.3.5.0) to
WM 6.5.
I've downloaded potatoheads file (thanks), but am stumped as to what to do next.
I'm quite technical, but am a complete noob when it comes to flashing mobile devices.
Any help appreciated.
Rom version is 1.00.24
firmware version is 2.6
Bootloader version is 1.24
Thanks
John (aka Teleportist)
Update.
Managed to flash my N300 with the two files by putting them on my SD card and performing a hard reset.
Had some initial problems with the Wi-Fi card not displaying its MAC address, but that seemed to clear itself.
Also installed SPB Mobile Shell. All-in-all this has given my n300 a new lease of life.
Thanks for making these files available.
will try this tonight
Went through my old things and found my acer n311. Having bought it and used it for about 6 months, it then got put in a box and never seen again after getting a blackberry and a sat nav.
Going to try this ROM tonight and carry on searching for a good resource to let me know how I can get the most out of this device. Otherwise ill end up just puting it on eBay. Cheers
Hi, I know this thread is more dead than myself but, anyone has the build 28217? Or something near it?.
I have the only one I could find (aka the one is uploaded on mediafire on this thread) but I have a problem with the bluetooth and some stuff.
If anyone could just search on their hard drive for it, like searching n311 or something, would be helpful. Thanks
Hi, there, I just found out that acer n311 is the good old fashioned pda that has 64mb of ram. I seriously recommend you to stay away from wm6.5 altogether unless you have something like htc hd2(and even thete I did install wm6.1) and instead source out a good custom wm 6.1 rom which does everything that wm6.5 does, but faster, because 6.5 is just a bloated wm 6.1.
I had wm6.5 once on my hx4700 that I still use, the start menu alone makes the os use 10mb more ram than wm6.1, so yeah just get rid of it. Besides wm is the best when it tries to be wm not iPhone.
