Ok, after more than week of exploring official ROM updates and dumps i finally finished to cook my ROM
while i'm uploading files i want tell some info about present situation with P525 ROMs.
currently, i know 4 versions of ROMs with different languages and different release versions: Taiwan, HongKong, English and Russian.
Taiwan:
Last known version is 3.32. Update available on official ASUS download site. Traditional Chinese Language. ROM has 2 parts: OS itself and Extended ROM (3+ MB). Extended ROM contains only ome CAB file - KKBOX. It can be called as taiwanese version of iTunes. Actually, very crap software and service. There is 20 days of free service for P525 customers when you can download music (mostly Taiwanese) for freehttp://rapidshare.de/files/36662961/ASUS_P525_v3.29.customized.build.01.zip.html. Application uses his own file format for files not compatible with any other players and content protected, so even after pay to download music you will not able to playback it on any other computer than on which you downloaded it. Realy crap software only wasting 3MB+ of storage memory + 3MB in extended ROM, so, totaly 6MB of garbage included for Taiwanese customers!
Main ROM size is (not including extended ROM) 52MB.
HongKong:
Last known version is 3.32. Actually, ROM is absolutely the same as Taiwan's one. Only one difference - Extended ROM is empty. but anyway is present. So, 3MB of inner storage just wasting for hidden partition. Update available on ASUS site as well.
Thus HongKong users are lucky by 3MB
Main ROM size (not including extended ROM) is 52MB.
World Wide English:
Last known version is 3.20. No updates available on ASUS site. Relatively old version, although english version appeared on market only in beginning of september. I think ASUS should ship english devices with more recent version. Main ROM size is 43MB.
Russian
Last known version is 3.29. No updates available on ASUS site. This is most funny version of ROM. Actually it is NOT Russian! It's WWE version with only two russified apps - Voice Commander and Business Card Recognizer. Everything else are in pure english! Russian version also has Extended ROM wich size is around 6MB. In extended ROM you may find Leng Russificator. After hard reset you will be asked install this app. If you will decline - your device will remain english. If you will accept - it will be converted to russian by copying russian resources (of course occupying user storage space!). So, after installing it you will lost 6+ MB of your inner storage. I have no idea why ASUS ignored official Windows Mobile 5 Russian version and used some 3rd party user interface crappy software which requires 12MB (in total) of storage space. Well, anyway.. Russian customers have to say bay bay to 12MB of very important storage space. Thank you, ASUS!
Main ROM size (not including extended ROM) is 45MB. In system information this version stated as WWE4 (not RUS of course!). I don't know what is WWE4. Any comments about is is welcome!
Interesting thing: ASUS regularily publish updates for Traditional Chinese ROMs while no any updates for other languages published. Weird.. Looks like ASUS care only about chinese users.
I compared files in all ROMS and found no big difference. It's hard to compare Voice Commander and Business Card recognizer software because all ROMs have different language of these applications. These apps have integrated language resources in their libraries/executables unlike other apps containing resources in separate mui files. All other windows components the same exept one - bluetooth module. BlueTooth module is constantly changing, but as far as i remember there is no difference between v3.29 ("Russian" WWE) and chinese 3.32. There are changes in BT from 3.20 to 3.29 (and ASUS didn't release official update!) - i see that 3.29 supports BT HID profile while 3.20 has no any mention about this profile. I'm not fun of BT - so i didn't test it much. I need BT only for my GPS receiver
So, now about ROM i cooked:
I've got v3.29 from Russian release and just replaced Voice Commader and Busines Card Recognizer from english release 3.20. Anyway, although i'm russian i don't like quality of recognition voice/text in russian version of these apps. Quality of recognition affects even to english recognition, even after selecting english language in settings. Anyway, i replaced them by versions from official english release.
now about what i added/changed:
INPUT/OUTPUT LOCALIZATIONS:
- Russian T9. Seems i found at last good russian module which has all required symbols.
- Russian handwritting recognition through standard Transcriber!
- Russian on-screen keyboard.
- Chinese T9: Pinyin+Stroke for Simplified Chinese, Zhuyin(BoPoMoFo)+Stroke for Traditional Chinese. Unfortunately i couldn't make Pinyin to work with TRaditional Chinese module. If someone know how to make it work - please leave comment. Fortunately, seems Simplified Chinese module also contains traditional chinese words but need scroll more. So, T9 CHT Pinyin is still needed. Does anyone know any WM5 smartphone with T9 CHT Pinyin?
- Traditional/Simplified SIPs: Pinyin (CHT/CHS), Handwritting, Word Search (you can draw strokes one by one till right word appear - very useful to study chinese!).
- Traditional/Simplified Chinese font and wince.nls. Now you can read any chinese documents! By the way, having wince.nls with chinese support still unclear for me. Without special wince.nls i also can read and type chinese. Anybody know what's the reason of having exactly chinese version? Chinese wince.nls is very large and by removing this file (actually replace by standard small wince.nls) i will free a big space for other usefull apps. So, advice here needed!
APPLICATIONS:
- Agile Messenger: the best (IMHO) client for ICQ, MSN, YAHOO, JABBER
- Standard dummy Calculator has been replaced by more featured one
- HaaliReader: The best Text reader for people who like to read books from PDA.
- WM5 NewMenu. Today Extension. Allow you lunch apps and do many actions very quickly! I preprogrammed it to left softkey by default. If you want to look into Call History (assigned to softkey before) then just press left
softkey and then joistick action (i placed Call History as first item of menu). So, only one more button press required with giving you much more flexibility!
You can customize it from Start->Settings->System->New Menu
- PM Recorder. Not as good as expected but it's small and has automatic conversation recordings. Worth to have! I recommend to unmark automatic upload in settings to make it whole standalone. May be i will integrate registry patch in future releases to make it default.
- Skype. No comments here
- SPB Backup. Since all users of P525 have free license of this great tool then why don't include it by default?
- SpeedDial. Very handy addon for standard dialler. Just start type any part of name in today screen and you will see standard dialler with additional window with list of found contacts. You need to type word like in T9 mode. Then choose by jostick required contact and press action. Or just press action if you entered digits instead contact name. So, old functionality not lost as well!
- Manual CAB Installer. Allows you to install CAB to any directory.
- CloseApps + FreeRAM - two tiny apps to help you free RAM.
- Device List.
- Password Generator. Sometimes this tiny utility is handy.
- System Snap. Allows you make snapshot of system - registry + file list. Sometimes useful if you need install some app for short time then delete completely. Or just to study what is going on after install application.
- Task Manager. Very usefull utility. It allowns you manage not only tasks/processes/services but also has registry editor!
- Show Space (WhereIsMyRAM?) - utility to show how much space ocuppied by some directory. Handy, when you cleanning system.
- Magic Button. Many people found this application useful. It's some sort of task manager. It places icons af all running apps in title bar where you can easily switch them by simple clickin on icons. Personally, i don't think it's nice way to manage tasks, but anyway I included it. It's not activated by default. It also has good battery indicator (as thin white stripe on the top of screen).
- T9 user words database editors: \Windows\T9CUDBEditor.exe and \Windows\T9MyWord.exe. Also some settings can be tweaked by \Windows\T9Settings.exe. I didn't include shortcut to these apps since they will be used very seldom. Use File Manager to open these apps.
- SMClose: tiny utility to make close button realy close applications. I also wrote control panel applet to switch this functionality on/off. By default it turned off.
- AE Button Plus: helps you to remap almost every hardware buttons and much more!
TWEAKS:
- removed stylus using lessons and password setting after hard reset.
- battery indicator replaced by clock. Now, you can not only free today screen from clock but also have ability to call "Run.." dialog where you can enter normal command line! Just press long time action key and while not releasing it long-tap on clock. Remove stilus and release key. You will see Run dialog! Anyway, standard battery indicator is really crap - only 3 levels: 100%, 60% and empty. Who needs this bull****?
OFFICIAL ASUS UPDATES:
- Bluetooth patch from 2006/09/21
here is the Customized P525 ROM based on ROM v3.32 WWE. Build 06:
http://rapidshare.com/files/4612627/ASUS_P525_v3.32.WWE.customized.build.06.zip.html
INSTRUCTIONS TO UPDATE:
1) extract archive to the root of MiniSD. so, you will get on MiniSD files galaxy.cap, ASUS unlock utility and 2577 folder with file Autorun.exe.
2) insert MiniSD to device. Autorun wil start automatically. If it will not start then run it manually.
3) follow on-screen instructions (Press "yes" on message box, press left softkey and in menu choose "update ROM", press left softkey again) and update process will start. If utility will report that update ROM language is not compatible with your device then quit it and run ASUS language unlock utility. Then repeat process from step 2.
History:
BUILD 06
* Agile has been removed due to trojan nature of this application. Standard MSN re-added.
* (new) mChat. Client for ICQ and some other protocols.
* fixed problem with e-mail client: not all russian enconigs have been supported. Now KOI8-R/U available.
* PocketMusic has been removed. I had a lot of problems with this buggy app. And finally, i found that already included TCPMP handles everything much better. Just need to configure hotkeys! I added config for TCPMP. So it's more ready to use without additional settings.
* (new) Button on headset now starts/stops playback (in TCPMP) when you're not talking by phone. If TCPMP doesn't run currently, then it will b launched. Thus you can activate playback at any time very quickly.
* Fixed some bugs in PocketPlus
* (new) SmartPhone mode. I think, many users of P525 found that while you talking by phone, you can suddenly press some controls on screen by face. I wrote this addon to fix ASUS's bug. Now, when you're in phone application, TouchScreen is disabled, so you don't need to worry about touching screen by face. You have to use hardware keyboard to navigate in phone application. Of course, you can disable this feature by clicking on "SmartPhone Mode" icon in programs.
* (new) Installer of Customization. It acts similar to extended ROM installer, but uses SD card. It will be launched only once after hard-reset. You need to create Folder "Custom" on your SD card and put there special script with required files. I included example of such script to demonstrate functionality.
here is the Customized P525 ROM based on ROM v3.32 WWE. Build 05:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2718169/ASUS_P525_v3.32.WWE.customized.build.05.zip.html
build 05
* phoneAlarm downgraded to 1.55.1 version. later versions have ugly way to control brightness.
i wrote small utility to make brightness control in PA to work correctly. don't forget to set it in "Run Application" property in all required profiles (\windows\setbrightness.exe).
by the way, if you will put this utility in some profile then brightness will not change which can be looked as new functionality. For example "mute" profile doesn't require to control brightness.
the same with flight mode.
* Skype downgraded to previous used version. New version is too big and looks like have worse sound quality.
Anyway, i didn't find any new useful feature to keep so fat version.
* (new) PocketAlarm - nice app for one-time alarms with repeats and snooze features! Don't mess it with dummy task/calendar integrated apps.
There is one bad bug - vibration in PocketAlarm doesn't work on P525. So, i wrote one addon to fix it. To have vibration, make sure you marked checkbox in used preset.
I made pulse vibration i'm missing such vibration in incomming calls so much.. May be one day i will find how to add pulse vibration to any alarm.
* (new) PocketPlus.. Some people don't like it, but i think it's the best app in it's class. If you don't like it then simple disable pocketplus today plugin.
* magic button has been removed.
* HaaliReader has been added again. Previous book reader is also included.
* timezone settings removed from welcome screen. Since there is no way to enable time setting in AKU2.x, timezone setup looks stupid..
* some small fixes and tweaks in included apps.
here is the Customized P525 ROM based on ROM v3.32 WWE. Build 04:
http://rapidshare.com/files/1235755/ASUS_P525_v3.32.WWE.customized.build.04.zip.html
build04
* Task Manager updated to v2.2
* Skype updated to 2.1.0.65. this Skype release is more than 1.5 times (4.7MB instead 3MB) bigger than previous!! do we really need so fat skype with seems only one really new feature - animated smilies?
i'm seriously thinking about fall back to previous version to free up space for other apps...
* PhoneAlarm updated to 1.56.1 (some important fixes for P525)
* SmartDialing plugin updated to v2.5 + some my own patches(*). new features incudes:
1) Now you can see phonenumber while pointing to desired contact.
2) options are working now
3) (*) in options you can choose to expand contact list to full screen height or as before.
4) (*) increased contact list width in portrait mode
5) (*) if you have russian contacts then search will include it as well.
6) since options are available now, you may disable smartdialing at all if you dont like it
* default keyboard/block recognizer/letter recognizer has been disabled. If you still need one of these input methods then you may enable it in Settings->System->Pocket Tweaks
* MMS Templates/additional ASUS skins/music/graphics have been deleted.
Some new/updated apps requires more space, so i had to do so. Anyway, most users preffer to use his/her own music/graphics and default are just wasting space.
* CompIME (word autcompletion IME) has been deleted because anyway it couldn't be used before (ASUS just forgot to delete it) because P525 contains T9 IME.
* HaaliReader has been replaced with other reader which has multilanguage and more formats support.
* Some tweaks in inpit methods - now english language is default everywhere.
* Added SafeMode. If you will reboot P525 within 1 minute after last reboot then you will be have choice to boot into safe mode in case if you're encountering problem.
* dummy BSwitch has been replaced by more convenient Task Switcher.
* Button, originally assigned to VoiceCommander now have "Torch" function. Have you ever dreamed about using P525 as torch?
* Wellcome picture has been replace with one from WM5 ACU3.. I've bored of AKU2.3 pic...
I don't think ASUS will release AKU3 update for P525(there are firmwares for P535 with AKU3 while latest test firmware for P525 is basen on AKU2.3)... so, let's pretend at least
here is the Customized P525 ROM based on ROM v3.32 WWE. Build 03:
http://rapidshare.com/files/139194/ASUS_P525_v3.32.WWE.customized.build.03.zip.html
BUILD03
* from now ROM v3.32 has been used as main template.
* MSN has been Removed. Use included Agile instead.
* Pocket PowerPoint has been removed. Presentation on PPC? looks redundant.
* Additional themes from ASUS has been deleted to free up some more space.
* VoiceCommander has been removed. This toy is just for couple days to play and forget.
* (new) TCPMP player. Simple the best video player for PocketPC!
* (new) PocketMusic player. i think is the best audio player for PPC.
* (new) Resco Explorer
* Russian Keyboard SIP has been replaced by multilanguage Resco Keyboard
* (new) MultiIE
* (new) PhoneAlarm
i think, current application set is enough for this ROM. Anyway, almost no free space remained.
Future builds will be mostly targeted to tweaks, fixes, ASUS updates or updates of included components
(if it will be really important). In general case, applications included in ROM don't require updates
since already stable enough and do well what they supposed to do.
Anyway, if someone has any proposal to include very important apps then leave comment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
here is official english ROM v3.20:
http://rapidshare.de/files/36662960/ASUS_P525_v3.20.official.WWE.zip.html
how to program this ROM:
1) Unpack ROM to MiniSD card's root folder. In P525 file manager it should appear here: \MiniSD Card\ROMGalaxy.nb0
It's better to format MiniSD card on dektop computer in FAT (not FAT32) before put ROM there. I found that bootloader sometimes fail to read file from SD. May be due to my SD had been formatted in FAT32 or been fragmented to much. Anyway, it's better to format to FAT before put ROM there.
2) Insert MiniSD to P525 and plug USB. It's better to plug to computer intead to AC adapter because computer provides more clean DC supply. Some users reported that flashing failed when they connect to AC adapter, while computer USB works fine.
3) press "camera" key fully (it has to levels of pressing!) and while holding down this key press an release "reset" by stylus. When you will see bootloader flasher dialog - release "camera" key. Upgrading will start automatically. Follow instructions on screen. If everything will be finished without error then you'll done. If you will get error "Language incorrect" then follow to step 4.
4) Press reset and boot your device as usuall.
In ROM archive you've downloaded you will find ASUS language unlock utility.
Copy it to P525 and run. You will see message something like this: "ROM Language ID:404. Now Unlocking..." and then quit. After that repeat everything from step 2.
I posted unmodified v3.20 in case if you will get "Update fail!" at the end of updating procedure without any error description. In my earlier cooked ROMs i've got such message as I guess due to incorrect partition info in ROM. Actually, i corrected it and tested several times - no more such error so far.
But if you will get this error - don't panic! just program v3.20 i posted above and then report in this topic to let me know.
I'm also interesting in opinions about what software you would like to see in ROM and what software in standard ROM you think is redundant.
i think MSN messenger with all its MSN services is really crap. Especially, since it's possible to use Agile messenger for MSN.
Not all applications can be added into ROM. Some apps are too large. Some apps have subfolders which is not good. Any files copied into folders different from \Windows (including windows subfolders!) will be copied to user space! So, apps without subfolders are preffered.
Please, can you share the modules for russian T9 only?
I want to install the Russian T9, but I dont want to change the whole ROM yet...
Well done. Am I right that updating to your ROM I will get Chinese T9 along with Russian one as well?
Please explain about extended rom. I have russian version, that is 6M extra.
How to get rid of it?
thnx
solardo,
yes, both chinese and russian available at any time by switching through T9 menu.
After update to my ROM you will loose extended ROM and everything there will be lost. So, if you want save ExtROM content then you need backup it first.
please read IXBT forum's topic from this post: http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=45:9657-10#303
i explained there about how to backup ExtendedROM on ASUS P525.
Ingvarr, you may download my ROM and using imgfs_tools utilities you can extract everything from there.
By the way, i guess someone can ask: "Why i need to put all this to ROM instead just install it as applications?"
well, there are some advantages:
1) All these handy utilities are ready for use after hard reset
2) files in ROM are compressed, thus required less space than if they have copied to user storage space. for example in that aditional 10MB of ROM i placed 22MB of files. more than 50% of compression! Even if you will use UPX to compress executables/libraries you will not able to compress data files! also not all applications survive after UPXing them..

I know, however:
a) I dont know which files will be sufficient for russian T9 support. You must've already figured it out, so thats why Iam asking you
b) its hard for me to download 50Mb just to get, like, 200k of actually needed files
Thats why Iam asking for your help.
Hi Sorg, thank you very muvh for you updated ROM. I have installed it and noticed two bugs for the time being:
- if Agile Messanger is not swithched on and I try to start it from a Today screen, it shows a mistake. I am swithcing it via a program menu and after that it works perfectly.
- all new email accounts in messanger after a soft reset disappear.
Keep on testing it further.
Buch070, please tell me which language version of ROM you had before program my ROM. i need this for statistic.
1) i'll check agile messenger's launcher. Actually i preffer don't use this launcher since i'm using messenger not so often. Also, i forgot to mention that i removed automatic wakeup of Agile through scheduler to reduce power consumption. May be this is source of problem.
May be it's better to remove Agile Today plugin at all?
2) which messenger you mean? Agile or MSN? I don't remember e-mail feature in Agile.
thanks for feedback!
I before installation of this ROM I had an english version, the phone was ordered in Malaysia.
Agile is good program. Those who don't need it can uncheck it from Today's screen. Just, pls., cechk the feature to start it from today's screen. IMHO you can delete MSN.
Abt emails: I am using "Messaging" on PDA and all the new accounts being deleted from it after softreset.
I didn't touch messaging system. You just need to know that WM5 has some write delay between changes in application and actual wriing to such files as rigistry and databases. To perform soft reset it's better to use power button. long press - turn device off, then long press again to turm it on.
If you press "reset" button, you leave no chance for windows to close files properly.
Question to Sorg
sorg said:
- Russian T9. Seems i found at last good russian module which has all required symbols.
- Russian handwritting recognition through standard Transcriber!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if it's not the secret, pls explain- russian T9 is from WM5 or LEng?
and about Russian handwritting recognition- regular russian version in P525 hasn't- what is the source?
thnx
I didn't use anything from paragon's Leng.
i just made update in my second post accordind the process of updating.
How to return to Trad. Chinese Version
Sir,
After the OS was flashed to WWE version, I found that it is not easy to rsturn to previous OS.
The steps of the CHN ROM flashing is not the same as WWE.
Could you advise me?
THanks
download official CHT update from ASUS site and replace autorun.exe by version u will find bellow in this post.
before update run language unlock utility.
both utilities here:
http://rapidshare.de/files/36855101/ASUS.update_utils.ZIP.html
With reference to my previous posts here, I confirm to my suprise that it looks like WM5 is writting the changes to its register with a delay. Because now, when doing softreset, the changes which I made in a messaging program stays there, not disappering.
I finally managed to connect my P525 to my car via bluetooth. I don't know whether a "cooked" ROM helped or I did something wrong before, with a previous version I failed, even though I updated the bluetooth in the phone immy I after I got it.
In the Smart Dialing program which is in the ROM, there is a missing function: when it shows contacts, you cannot push a joystick as "enter" and check the phone number. It starts dialing immy. Maybe it is a function of later versions of Smart Dialing. I had it at HTC TyTn.
Buch070, i found source of agile problem you mentioned. Already fixed. I'm thinking about release fixed and slightly updated ROM now or wait a little. One friend told that he will get true english v3.29 soon. So, may be wait for this version and cook ROM based on it..
About that feature of smart dialer - i didn't see it. Looks like it's some kind of new version which i haven't. Actually, when you press action it supposed to call. that's why it called "speed dealer" If you will dig through dialogs it will be not speed dialer already
by the way, if some contact has several numbers then you can switch it by joystick left-right.
Hi fellows,
Well, it seems that the work is done! CREDITS to HELLONASTY and ERVIUS!!!!

Pros: HIGHEST STORAGE 80MB, A LOT OF FREE RAM AND SPEED!!!!
Cons: It's up to you to let us know about it...don't forget to give us your feedback! Only like that we can improve the quality!
Changelog 3.3SL: Complete clean ROM! Nothing more to add...she's completely naked !!!!!!
Changelog 3.3.1SL (01.11.2007):
FLASH THIS ROM WITH THE MEMORY CARD INSERTED!!!!
-Complete clean ROM! Even more naked !!!!!!
-Even faster than previous release
-Working Smart Dialing
-Configurable MMS
-Colors and themes now corrected
-Windows Media Player, now fully functional
-Removed some useless files and folders (Battery Status Folder still inside...to be corrected on a previous release. If you install Battery Status-see link bellow-then the software will use that folder, so, only for those who don't install this application, this folder would be useless. Anyway, I suggest you install it)
-Smother speed
-Other small optimizations
-To enable the "H" icon for HSDPA, please install Schap's Advanced Config Tool (find the link bellow). However, even if you don't see the icon, HSDPA will be enabled if you activate it in Connections Settings.
This time, I propose to make something focused essentially on speed, stability, memory and storage rather than spending time with aesthetics.
So, inside you'll find basically only the Operating System, with its' basic functionalities. All the rest, you can install by yourself, according to your needs.
It doesn't make sense to fill storage, with applications that you will never need.
Concerning the aesthetics, there are a lot of themes out there...it's just a matter of searching!
I also want to share with you, the best way to make your updates of firmware, as most of the bugs that we find, are the result of a bad-flash. Most of the times, of you re-flash, the bugs disappear.
To avoid this, this is how I flash my roms:
1. Hard Reset your device, pressing OK at the end
2. Before it starts rebooting, make another Hard Reset, but now don't press the OK button. Instead, remove the battery!
3. Wait 1 minute. While you wait, remove the storage card and the SIM card as well
4. Put the battery inside the pda again.
5. Press the buttons Camera + Power + Reset (with the pen, on the bottom of the pda) until you see the screen with color strips
6. Insert usb cable
7. Start flashing the device, as you always do.
8. As soon as it reaches 100% on the screen of the pda, it becomes black for a couple of seconds. Then, make a hard-reset, and press ok.
9. Make another hard reset, but now, but now don't press the OK button. Instead, remove the battery!
10. Wait 1 minute
11. Re-insert the battery, memory card and SIM card
12. With the pen, press the reset button on the bottom of the pda until it starts.
13. Have FUN!!
P.S - I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT RESULT ON USING THIS ROM OR FLASHING PROCESS. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
If you still have problems flashing, I advise you to see this page: http://www.trinityguides.info/
For those who loose their WIFI settings after a softreset, please follow these instructions (thank's dta1974):
[!] For prevent password and account dissapearing u should (you should make this procedure immediately after first soft reset ):
1. Set up your connection settings
2. Open IExplorer / Set up Internet connection / Open some internet page
3. Click Disconnect button to close internet connection
4. Hold power button and turn off your phone
5. Power on your phone.
After that procedure your password wont disapear. I think that you should repeat the same for mail account (set up mail account / try to send or recieve your mail / hold disconnect button / turn off your phone)
We hope that this meets to your expectations!!!

No, it won't be inside the rom. However, there will be links to the most popular softwares (cab). In this case, each one of us can install only what we need
This is the idea behind: have a system looking exactly how you like, and not how the cookers like. Have the software you think it's important, and not the software that the cooker thinks is important.
Bye
P.S- Does anyone have Microsoft Office splitted in cabs: one cab for Word, another for Powerpoint, another for Excel and another for One Note?
Having this, we can install only the office applications that we need!! If anyone has it, please post the links.

hmmmmmmm, as Homer would say
waiting with bated breath! This sound very interesting!!!
But just how lite is lite?
Nice one, would be cool if *someone* made a GUI to automagically download new base roms, packages(from a central repository). You would download the GUI, select base, packages, mui files(?), press 'Cook', flash(SD Card method allowed).

Just to inform that there is already a ROM like that from Sammy Deluxe:

Of course if this is what the cook want, then it's great to have a nice and clean ROM , but then again, we cannot complaint if the cooker make HIS ROM with a lot of apps.
I hope this release can be the best of all, after all it is made by a PORTUGUESE 'dude'

Hi,
That's the difference between previous roms and this one: the previous roms were roms made for the cooker, and then he shared it with us.
This rom, is not about what the cooker likes, but instead, about making it 99% customizable.
That's the magic word: CUSTOMIZABLE
Bye
RELEASED!!!!
See first post!!!
HAVE FUN!!!
Some tips to cookers to obtain this free storage?
Nice, will try asap.
Has anyone read my previous post? I can provide storage&bandwidth if anyone's willing to create that 1-click kitchen Í described(it could support various rom&pkg repositories, I'd host one for sure).
Dia Duit ROM v1.7.0 final is out
for keyboards installation see bottom keyboard note
for latest news/changes take a look here
DOWNLOAD :
thanks to myself for original mirror: jump
MAIN FEATURES :
Based on latest 2.11.70.1 (from Orange, removed Orange stuffs)
Diamond Manila TF3D 2.1 + new driver set from Topaz, ported some basic Leo packages, etc...
LZX compressed rom... 130Mb free main space after fresh installation
Removed the annoying Ms welcome & manual screen calibration after every upgrade/flash/hard-reset, now is pre-configured so don't take care anymore
sUC (aka suiller's UC) is included (detailed sUC review/instructions) with it of course all Dia Duit features: speed profile selection, automatic backup (favourite manila people too), gps profile selection, planned auto-reboot, ramdisk, mobile upx (upxlist.txt), personal tweaking (by reg files now) + all the "safe" battery/speed tweaks I collected in several years, 3/4 rows selection, mail + attachments & documents moved to "Internal Storage", etc... note: the rom is fully UC/UC2 compliant too
Modded smooth violet buttons in keypad, commmanager, calculator & usbtopc applications, menu enhance
Connection Setup is NOT included, you can find 3 versions in extra cab repository (at top page): 1st from 2.00 rom (China included), 2nd from 2.03 (China NOT present) & the 3rd is the Topaz porting; install one of them like a standard cab (put always in your CAB folder); if you install/uninstall separately remember to restart to see changes
Steps to proceed with this ROM installation (only 1st time) :
before flash read here carefully all news related to sUC (because is included & active)
download latest rom from one of the mirror specified at top page and look in my signature for a fast upgrade procedure
after rom installation sUC will start asking you: configure general speed & GPS profiles; remove ActiveSync time change queue (stop popup every 5 min); left/right softkey configuration; CAB & CABi + REG + EXE + CPY installation/execution (as mentioned above) + upx compression phase, then choose backup method & eventually load a restore, restore previous saved Start Menu and for finish reboot to apply changes
then you can re-organize shortcuts in your "\windows\Start Menu" directory to fit your needs, then run the script "backupStartMenu", this will make a copy of your "final" start menu directory, useful to preserve your original Start Menu structure (in this way it can be restored automatically on next flash)
the last important folder (always under "Backup and Restore" directory) is "pimbackup", under this directory will be saved automatic pim backups during night (contacts/sms/call logs/et cetera)
some notes to know :
I don't like to get out every time the stylus, in my way the phone should be easily used with just one hand, so this rom is designed, where possible, to be used just with fingers: vertical bar is fatter, icons are more spaced & system font is bigger
pimbackup is enabled to make scheduled (automatic) backups every day at 4.00AM, remember for 1st to make a restore at 1st installation (a menu will presented at 2nd boot for this)
to speed up a bit the whole system & get off ActiveSync popping up every 5 minutes answer "OK" when asking to remove ActiveSync time change queue (of course ActiveSync will work normally when connected trough usb cable) & remember also to disable automatic checks (from AS application select Menu, then Schedule & put both to Manual, close tapping X & launch recover ram script... this will close automatically AS & will clean the queue)
about upx compression only exe files coming from cab installation can be compressed, existing exe files (cooked in the rom) can't be touched
I strongly suggest to upgrade your radio version too (I'm currently using 1.13.25.24, anyway find your best), 03 & 05 are really outdated, if you don't know where find new/good/tested radios download always at CAB repository (at top page or in my signature)
DO NOT remove the (automatic created) hibernation file "SwapImgDoNotRemove" because it's a copy of your cache, NOR remove files inside Ramdisk (the original cache) & neither remove MAIL folder under "Internal Storage\Backup and Restore" because from V05 mails are stored there
CAB installation is made seeking alphabetic sort, so keep it in mind when installing cabs that need a specific sequence
keep in mind that many cabs to work properly need to be installed into main memory (so not CABi)
CABi installation isn't perfect & doesn't work with languages different from ENG/USA, it work at 100% with simple cabs such as games, sometimes it fails on complex cab (license accept & various boring confirmation... such as iGO)
to restore the boot image (splash) to the original one (all black) simply download & install this package
special keyboard note: there is ONLY ms-keyboard as default, this because any keyboard set takes a lot of memory & registry becomes fatter, so install just the one you prefer (look always at repository below or in my signature)... so for example you can choose between FingerKeybd (very nice, download from XDA & here a simple guide to restore automatically after every flash) or Rhodium_EzInput (add Rhodium_EzEngine to have also T9 support... this T9 library works also with FingerKeybd) & above all remember that must installed during 1st setup, so don't install manually but copy your cabs in the CAB folder
WHY ALL THIS PROCEDURE?? in few words... I was very tired to re-install everything from scratch after a new installation/flash... so I thought about an easy way to have a fast & real "restore" after every flash
bye,
davide
ps: dia duit in gaelic means "good day"
Hm, this looks very interesting !
Looking forward to test your ROM !
it does look intresting. 1.96, optimized png and wav, and new drivers is what im looking forward to. TF3D version sticks out though, 1.2.345 is current, i thought maybe a newer version whould be included.
On your site : ROM_Diat_Duit_v01.diamimg.nbh - size: 82Mb
It's for test and it's : V1.96.710 ??
Thx for you futur rom ;-)
Seems interesting,but i didn't understand a thing:i can install my cabs in the "old way" too?
I explain:i usually flash the rom and then install all programs...can i do this with your rom or not?

no no that version isn't "newer"... that version is different because isn't native for diamond but it was adapted (from raphael if I remember well) but has some (small) bugs, the last one for diamond is 1.1.34575..., anyway there is no need to use the adapted one ver 1.2 because benchmarks speak clearly, there aren't significant speed improvements

well, opera wasn't included for 2 reasons, the 1st one because many don't like it, they prefer skyfire for example, the 2nd because the version included in this original rom was a bit outdated, so you can download from here the latest beta version of Opera mobile, I'm using it from 2 days and it works very well

Hi,
just flashed your rom.
nice addons and feels very fast.

HI,
what is a "Microsoft null Ethernet Miniport Driver"?
The word "null" sound a bit strange..
what do you mean for "close in the normal way" ?
thank you,

Hello,
I'vejust installed it and everything is working fine... And quick!
Gratulations for your work!
I've noticed that the icons from some programs are being showed more then once.
I'll continue testing it and give you more feedback.
it's a virtual driver, it can be used by the system for network emulations, like for ex vpn

How To Unlock Your Phone
And Flash A Custom Rom
And Relock Your Vogue
(Following was written by: Detroit_Doug)
First go here and
READ the hell outta it until you have it step by step.
(BTW use the 2.31 unlocker regardless about the GPS thing)
OK, now that you've read that (happy dance time)
Download the 2.31 Unlocker and NFSFANs WinMO 6.5 ROM.
And make sure to download one of the DCD Carrier cabs here
and copy it to your SD card as you may need this after the flashing is done.
(will get back to this tasty morsel later)
OK, now you have an Unlocker and a ROM - now what, hmmmm
Use WinRAR and extract both the files into separate folders,
Press and hold the Power button+Camera Button and Stylus in the reset hole
until the 3 color screen comes up and it says serial,
now plug in your cable and it should change to USB.
Can you taste the rainbow and it is over the land of USB??
Great, now go into the Unlocker folder you created
and doubleclick on the RomUpdateUtility.exe
(going to be called RUU.exe from this point on).
Follow the steps on the desktop monitor.
(You might get some errors about sleep4.exe - dont worry about it)
Just keep hitting enter and it will go away after the 4th or so time.
At some point the program is going to tell you to disconnect the phone,
sounds scary doesn't it, losing the connection and all - dont be,
be a brave little soldier and disconnect it and count to 10,
cant do that, get some help in getting there,
its really that important LOL once you (or your friend)
gets to 10 plug it back in, does it say USB again? good!!
happy dance AFTER you hit a key on the keyboard per the on screen directions.
It's going to eventually reboot, let it and it will be unlocked,
let it start up and do its thing, when its done - go ahead and go back into bootloader mode again
(remember power+camera+stylus twister move you did earlier, its back to that again)
with the cable disconnected and it had better say SERIAL again..
now go ahead and plug in the cable and it should change to USB.
Now go into the ROM folder and double click the RUU.exe here ...
and follow the directions that come up on the screen...
Once its done and the phone reboots, wait...
wait some more..
still keep waiting..
no not yet ...
stop touching it..
it wont help pacing..
just be patient...
oh look an Orange screen,
ok here comes some fun.
Follow the drections to go through the setup,
don't worry about it being too accurate and all as it is about to be erased anyway...
let the autorun happen once windows starts and it will reboot on its own again.
- Yes it really IS a smartphone isn't it. LOL -
OK, as it is booting up again when there is a black screen
- press and hold the red button+green button+stylus in reset hole (known as a Hard reset)
until the screen turns gray - follow the directions again
(save you some time "press the Enter key" thats the big silver button in the center of the buttons LOL)
and when the progress bar moves all the way to the right, press the call key (the green one).
Again, it will restart (told you it was smart) and now go ahead and do the setup
and customizations and do them right this time as your hanging onto them this time
(sounds weird but if you dont hard reset after flashing it,
flying monkeys will swoop in and take your phone and your little dog toto too)
OK, now remember that DCD Carrier Cab, you do, fantastic ..
so to the storage card where you copied it to - you didn't forget that step did you???
good I knew my faith in you would pay off, tap on it and run it.
It will install all the Carrier goodies to make your life easy,
and your sex life better and even improve that certain area of a ..
wait sorry wrong channel again....
just go ahead and tap it, run it and reboot.
**Note from Codybear**
I personally go through the RUU.EXE flash process 2-3 times each time I flash a new rom.
I flash it, and then let customizations run,
and then flash again, let customization run again,
then you guessed it, flash again and customizations run once again.
It's a tad bit lengthy, but due to this process,
I usually don't have any problems that most people do with any roms.
Not sure why it makes a difference, but it does.
**Important**
As pointed out to me by Aaronpoweruser,
I forgot to mention that before flashing this rom,
upgrade your radio to a 3.xx.xx version!!
(It doesn't need to be the latest and greatest version available)
Note on Radio Upgrading By Doug:
"An upgrade is not needed - it can help depending on your carrier,
but its based on a carrier by carrier exceptions.
I'm on Sprint with the 3.42.30 radio with no issues whatsoever
where upgrading to 3.42.50 on some carriers can create problems."
To Get Back To Your Original (Stock) Rom:
It is quite simple.
All you do is go to the htc.com website,
click support,
Click dropdown menu to find your device,
in my case it's: HTC Touch™ (Alltel)
Then click download for the rom upgrade.
and then run the ruu.exe just like you did with the custom rom.
To Flash From MicroSd Card:
(Written By DetroitDoug)
Yes it has to be 2GB or less and formatted FAT32
I always find my original 512MB works perfect for flashing from
as to how to get it to your card...
Extract the ROM you want to use
Find the largest *.NBH file and copy it to your desktop
at the desktop rename it to VOGUIMG.NBH (I believe the caps in naming is important)
Copy that file to the root of your formatted FAT32 2GB or less SD Card
enter bootloader mode and it should go from there.

If you're experiencing problems importing your bookmarks to the panel,
download this file,
go to start > system tools,
open up Total Commander
(file explorer that allows overwriting of read only files)
copy the small text file to the "windows\" folder

that should take care of the problem.

Titanium Weather step by step fix for NFSFANs V10 ROM (Stock Weather Panel)
(This has been reported to work with other versions of Nfsfan's roms,
and some other versions of Weather panel.
No harm to try, you can always reinstall the original panel again.)
- Download the file as offered HERE
- Extract the zip file to desktop
- Copy the TitaniumWeather.mscr file to your phone (storage card or where ever)
- Click on Start Go into settings>today and under the 2nd tab (ITEMS) disable "Windows Default" (6.5 Interface AKA CHome)
- Use Total Commander to copy from location you saved the file to to the root of \Windows - overwrite if needed or if you are having issues coping it over rename the original file(TitaniumWeather.mscr) to titaniumweather.bak and then copy it over
- Go to settings>today and enable Windows Default (6.5 Interface)
- Go to Weather Tab and in lower right click on Setup
- Select 2nd option (Run full update and exit)
- Wait for full update to occur and scroll through pages all icons should have appeared again (although I had to run the full update twice)
May need to start IE or Opera or whatever browser you use to gain an internet connection first to perform update if you already dont have the option to "connect to the internet automatically" set in your options before attempting the update
(Thanks to 4Thought for this) If your in Canada or other locations just enter in your location code directly in this format: NAM|**|**|****** replacing the * with your location in the SETUP options (Setup>Option 3 (Forcast options/setup) > Option 1 (Zip or Location Code)
an example would be NAM|CA|ON|OSHAWA for Oshawa Canada or NAM|CA|AB|EDMONTON for Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Or if that doesn't work,
Try this File
Download this file,
Turn Off Titanium (Start>Settings>Today, click Items tab, Uncheck Windows Default, press ok)
Copy file to Windows directory, overwrite if asked.
Turn On Titanium(same steps, just re-check Windows Default)
Then you're good to go.

As Reported by mnherky:
"I'm having a problem when i set up active sync to my work exchange server. they require that i have 4 digit pin to unlock the phone. when the phone starts it looks like it is trying to go to the keypad to unlock but only the top bar shows up, the rest of the screen is blank. the only extra thing i install was the touch pal keyboard.
thanks for the help and ROM"
Common fix: "Try not setting up the PIN. Many people have reported problems using a PIN with the new lock screen."
His fix: "It's required by my company in order to set up active sync.
If anyone else is having this issue switching to classic [display] seems to have fixed all the issues.
kind of looks ugly but it works."
Turn GPS On:
(6.1 and 6.5 Compatible)
Go to Start>Settings>Personal>Phone

click get settings, Check on, press ok.
For google maps,
you'll need to have it open of course,
then go to menu, click use gps.

NFSFAN Dialers
(Written By Jmitr)
NFSFAN has 2 different ROM’s available for our Vogues.
1. Windows Mobile 6.1
2. Windows Mobile 6.5
Both of these ROMS use different dialers, these are listed below:
1. WM 6.1 ROMS GSM Dialer
This dialer is one of the newer ones available.
It features slide to anwser/ignore and other features.
To go into this dialer first I have to list the issues
with GSM dialers on CDMA phones.
• 911 and number codes usually do not work
• Data sessions. In most gsm dialers the data is always active. This causes quite a battery drain
NFSFAN has managed to fix these problems to an extent.
911 works, phone codes cannot be directly dialed but are
found in a folder under systems.
The data is NOT always active,
however the data arrows are “broken” or greyed out.
2. WM 6.5 CDMA Dialer
This is basically the same as the stock dialer that came with your phone.
It may not be “as pretty” as the gsm dialer,
but everything works just like stock.
This is the reason that you will no longer find the
phone codes folder in the 6.5 ROM as there is no need for it.
It is possible to skin a dialer and add colour etc.
This changes the appearance of the dialer
without actually installing a different dialer.
Some people have installed newer dialers in the 6.5 ROM as well.
Just remember the issues with gsm when you do.
You may find your battery depletes quickly (data issue)
or 911 doesn’t work (BAD if you figure that out when you need it!!)
Phone codes Walkthrough
(Written By Jmitr)
• ##778 = ..\Windows\EPST.exe ##778
View/edit phone provisioning (you'll need your phone specific MSL to edit)
Always keep a record of your phone's ESN, MSID, Security, EPST, and M. IP settings in case a flash reprograms your phone.
Run the EPST utility by:
1. Typing ##778 into the dialer Or from the ..\Windows directory you can also directly execute EPST.exe or EPST.lnk
2. If EPST.exe quickly loads and exits, then try a few more times before resetting your phone and trying again.
3. Select VIEW and then record your info. On most versions, the A-Key is blank and will not be displayed. If your phone fails to authenicate with your provider, you will need to call your providers technical support line to get a new A-key. The A-key is not reuseable.
To edit your EPST if you have lost security and data connections:
NOTE: The Verizon MSL is 000000 (six zeros) - you don't need to run getspl.exe for a Verizon phone, skip to step 6.
1. First follow these steps to obtain your phone's MSL unlocking code
2. Obtain getspl.exe
3. execute that on your Titan
4. Type in your ESN(Hex) into the input field
5. Hit go and record your phone's MSL Number (EPST unlock code)
6. Re-run the EPST app and now select Edit and unlock with your MSLNumber
7. Edit the necessary keys
8. Select Done when finished
There is a thread in the Vogue Forum called "##778 hacks shared" please visit it here for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360288
• #33284 (debug) = ..\Windows\FieldTrial.exe
Field Trial shows your signal strength in dbm and channel info
What the numbers mean:
Signal strength is a number ranging from roughly -50 to -105 (your phone may show as a positive number). Closer to zero means a better signal, i.e. -
50 (roughly full signal) to -105 (roughly no signal.)
• #3424(diag)
= ..\Windows\DMRouter.exe /DIAG
Diagnostic Mode, required to repair, or configure the Operator service related programs
• #38278 (fuart)= ..\Windows\Fuart.exe Fuart
Enable or Disable Fast UART mode. Resets device after choosing.
A UART is a serial to parallel data converter. I would assume the Vogue uses this mode for serial connections to a PC (USB ect). Because HTC uses this connector for headphones etc it may also affect these.
For Sprint, there's an extra # at the end instead of pressing Send. (ex. ##778#)
If anyone has any additional information please pm JMITR and I will add it to the FAQ.[/QUOTE]
** Opal (HTC) volume control will not work with the CDMA dialer **

*Cabs to remove unused keyboards from sip list.
*Working on mortscript coding to get the opera panel to look into the two different known spots for the bookmark file.
*Change Raphael Bookmarks text in the opera panel, submit me some ideas to change it to, i'll be making cabs!
*Trying to figure out how to launch opera mini using mortscript, it's possible,
just might take a little while if someone doesn't already have the fix someone.
*Trying to fix async killer cab,or find a better one.
~Also I'm going to be working on getting this launcher panel I have seen,
It allows up to 18 programs and I want to make sure it is fully compatible with the other panels!
~Softkey registry locations so you can change them on all panels, and maybe eventually make a user friendly program.
*Will note 6.1 compatible cabs/information in this faq in attempt to hold off 6.1 users till they finally upgrade to 6.5.
*Attempt to make this list smaller, it's growing faster than I can do everything.
*Look into custom fonts, write walkthrough.
*Gps For Carriers Section
*=Going to try and get these done this weekend.
And there's more that are not listed here.
~Mortscript to start a data connection and run Lastfm program, then when you close last fm, it shuts off the data connection.
~Waiting on registry info to get twitter panel working
~Problem told to me in PM(Just my personal note to remind myself)
NOW WORKING ON/HOPE TO HAVE DONE IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO:
Working on making the mortscript file to make it look into two diff locations with the already given code,
async fix,
then opera mini thing with opera panel,
then the keyboard cleanup thing.
This Summer:
Going to build these programs:
1. Pill Identifier that uses drugs.com's pill identifier information,
and will relay all their information to the phone in a mobile friendly format.
2. They have facebook sync programs to sync pictures,
I'm going to try and see if it's possible to sync friend's pictures from myspace.

Here is Dynamites previous version ROM release thread;
http://3ppc.net/forum/showthread.php?p=95796
Initial Solution
Alright, a kind member of "htcgeeks forum" mzel has pointed me in the right direction of how to obtain a 4pda account.
Best method is to copy and paste small selections of text at a time into for example google translator. So just copy box titles for example to find out which box to type in login name and which is password, etc..
When accessing the create account page I made sure I was in the original Russian version of the website, not translated.
The 'Capthca' authentication test is actually a mathmatical equation. If you look very carefully in the middle of the box you will see what looks like 2 sets of 2 digit numbers. Something like this; sfakdhffdf33dskfjkf44ksdfkd ignore all those other numbers around the box they are just background noise.
In this example you take the 33 and 44 and then add them together. The answer to the 'Capthca' question would be 77. Each time the numbers will be different but you just follow this same method.
Once you have created your account and been through the email verification you can download the files straight away.
The A02 ROMs have an 8MB pagepool which is a lot more than LennySh ROMs. You might like to try different pagepool sizes to find the best for your liking. Here is a pagepool editor that is already setup to work with these A02 Roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4780661#post4780661
Also, the A02 RTM Rom is like a "Stock Dell Edition" as LennySh would say. The OS version is 5.2.19965 build 19965.1.2.3 This is quite nice because LennySh stopped creating "Stock Dell Edition" well before this version. Makes things a little cleaner for those users like me who wish to add their own program choices via UC to custom our install.
Cheers,
Dan

(X51v will lock up if you run 'screen alignment' program with FTouchFlo enabled. You have to disable FTouchFlo before running 'screen alignment' program. If your X51v does lock up then a normal reset will free it back up.)
In a few words about FTouchFlo, TOOLS adds touch scrolling in all programs and menus, if the program does not require touch scrolling, in settings FTouchFlo can make this program a list of programs that will not work scrolling.
(Can create a list of programs where FTouchFlo will not interfere)
With strokes can quickly launch any 4 programs installed by the user.
Stroke default:
left to right - PIE
right to left - Messaging
top-down - WMP
bottom-up - x50Mix
(I have tried this and it does work. You can change what programs are activated by what movement)
EnlargeStartMenu - increased menus and the Start menu, ie It is possible to dispense almost without using the stylus.
(You can enable or disable large fonts for Start Menu and internal Program Menus, similar effect to WM6.5 in a way)

Hey DKing,
...
So does that mean we could easily add your graphic driver to his A02 V8.0 English ROMs? (The A05 is Russian).
Cheers,
Dan.

I think yes, it's possible and should be quite easy. But I think it's almost unneeded, because those ROMs already have GWES fixed that allows OS to work with buggy driver properly. So to have some useful effect (in stability), we should find and embed there original (non-patched) GWES, then use fixed video driver.
This just in...
Here is message I just received from Dynamite:
Quote:
Thank you for using my ROMs and thanks for mirrors
But I have to disappoint: the work on the new ROMs turned off because of outdated drivers, which in fact has not been updated since WM5.
Partly solve this problem is possible if you can find a Board Support Package (containing the source code drivers, and so the hardware-dependent software) for the X51v, but it is practically impossible
That level of help is way out of my league.
Problems with WiFi?
I don't know if anyone has problems with WiFi with these ROMs or not. I had a problem getting a connection but found a solution.
I installed the attached cab file WiFiService.CAB
Performed a normal/soft reset.
Then WiFi connected no problem.
Maybe might help anyone else who notices a problem with WiFi.
This only works for Dynamite A02 WM6.1 ROM!!!
Ok everyone,
I have now tested enough Pagepool sizes with Dynamites A02 ROM to make a suggestion.
*Try setting a custom Pagepool of 4MB*
I tried 8MB, 6MB, 5MB, 4.8MB, 4MB, 3MB. Trust me 4MB is the best option!!!
Performance will not really show up synthetically, ie; SKTools benchmarking.
*But in real world usage it becomes apparent*
I can guarantee that the X51v will feel 2x more responsive and faster!!!
I noticed 3D and software gaming ran smooth even in huge action sequences.
Screen tap response is stellar and you go through menus and file exploring quick as lightning.
File scrolling long lists like Windows folder is nice and smooth and I have not had problems with screen taps registering as double taps.
Hand writing in Notes was fluid and felt accurate/natural. Scrolling while viewing PDF files doubled in performance!!!
Also you will go from 28MB free up to 32MB free which is same free RAM as the older Football A07.
*So give it a go and tell me if you agree!*
This maybe the final ultimate WM6.1 we will see on our X51v?
Pagepool editor
It's pretty easy to do once you get use to it.
Here is a tool that can help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536024
Here are instructions;
1.) Click "Load ROM"
2.) Select the Dynamite A02 WM6.1 .nb0 file
3.) Select the Dell X51v WM6.1 A02 (Dynamite) ROM from the list
4.) Select the 4MB pagepool size from the drop down box
5.) Click the CheckBox "Generate CRC File"
6.) Click "Run!"
7.) After the program has run, Click "OK" in the popup dialog box, then click "Exit"
8.) Transfer the updated files to your (FAT32 formatted) SD card, and flash your device
Simple as that!
Want to try alternate Bluetooth Stack?
I have made some slight modifications to the original Widcomm/Broadcom Bluetooth Stack that is from here:
http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/...widcomm-axim-x50v-x51v-state-development.html
What I have done is modify it so that it intergrates perfectly with this Dynamite A02 ROM. It is not intended to be
used on any other ROM, so if you attempt to use on another ROM and notice problems/errors that is why.
If you want to try this out then here are the instructions;
1. Download the .zip file with 3x .cab files (would not attach to this xda post for some reason) can be found here;
http://forum.htcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=19569&postcount=80 or http://www.mediafire.com/?mgcmbxmez5i
2. Install the AWirelessPower_v101.cab
3. Install the BTSpeedSwitch.cab
4. Install the BBluetoothStack_v05.cab
5. It will ask to reset when completed, just click ok.
6. After reboot just turn the bluetooth on and off once by using the *taskbar tray icon* only, not hardware button.
This is just to activate the change to new Bluetooth Stack.
Need help? Follow these instructions.
01. Click on *taskbar tray icon* and select 'Bluetooth Manager'.
02. Select 'Menu' and then 'Paired Devices'.
03. Click 'Add' button.
04. Now click button to the right of the 'Device' box.
05. Your Bluetooth equipment should appear, select it's icon.
06. Now you should be able to enter a 'Passkey'.
07. Use a four digit number and press 'return' on the onscreen keyboard.
08. For example; If connecting with PC your PC should have a window pop up.
09. Enter the same four digit number into PC pop up window box.
10. It may take a couple of different trys to get that done.
11. Now if we have our devices paired we can click 'ok' to close.
12. Back at 'Bluetooth Manager' main screen click 'New'
13. Best method to create a connection between Bluetooth equipment is to let the X51v explore the bluetooth
device itself!!!
14. Select 'Explore a Bluetooth device' option.
15. Click on the paired device icon that we made earlier.
16. The X51v should now be searching the device for capabilities.
17. You can choose to have security turned off or on, I turn it off myself for a2dp, but if using bluetooth to share
an internet connection or transfering files then you may want to use the security encryption.
18. Sometimes it won't explore the device on first attempt, so just click the 'Back' button and then click on the paired device again.
19. Ok, now you should have a list of services to choose from.
20. For this example, I am clicking on 'A2dp SNK Service'.
21. Now you should be back at the 'Bluetooth Manager' main screen.
22. You should now have an icon for the connection we have just made.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
23. All we do to activate the connection from now on is just hold the stylus down on the icon we have made and
select 'Connect'. Makes it easy to get connection, now that we have done all the hard work.
24. You can click the 'Active Connections' tab to see connections that are currently turned on.
25. Hold stylus down on the icon we made and select 'Status' from the drop down menu. Here you can see signal
strength and data transfered.
26. To close a connection hold down stylus on the icon we made and select 'Disconnect' or you could press the
X51v wireless hardware button to turn Bluetooth off from the 'wireless Power' aplet.
Notes;
To use with UC sdconfig installation you need to modify your sdconfig.txt file to look like this:
LOCK: Disabled
HIDE:Enabled
CAB: \SD Card\AWirelessPower_v101.cab
CAB: \SD Card\BTSpeedSwitch.cab
CAB: \SD Card\BBluetoothStack_v05.cab
HIDE: Disabled
LOCK:Enabled
Of course you may already have other .cabs listed as well, just make sure you put these ones at the end of the
list in this order because of the 'reset after installation' built into bluetooth stack installation .cab file.
Also this line at the top of the sdconfig.txt file;
HIDE:Enabled
And this line the bottom of the sdconfig.txt file;
HIDE: Disabled
Are very important. This is also because of the 'reset after installation' window at the end of the bluetooth stack
installation. If the UC install window is not 'hidden' then you will not be able to see the 'reset' window or click on it.
Also, you don't need to add 'RST: Reset' at the very bottom of the sdconfig.txt file as it would now be redundant.
Extra Tool;
The included BTSpeedSwitch.cab it is just a speed switcher for the bluetooth if you wanted to slow the
connection down to 460800bps. Only needed for troubleshooting purposes if you had an unstable connection.
Which I have never had with this Bluetooth Setup.
*All program icons of these Bluetooth installations can be found in the menu Start/Programs/WirelessPower*
***Note that 'Bluetooth Explorer' is part of Microsoft Bluetooth Stack and not Broadcom Bluetooth Stack***

why not use makuu rom? it is the newest WM6.1 build and works fine for me..

Others and myself have noticed certain bugs and quirks with Makuu's 6.1 A09 523F, some are even noted on the official thread. It is possible for some users not to have picked up on these bug and quirks yet, due to everyone using their device for different purposes. But they are there and have not or can't be solved without recooking the ROM. There is no point working from a buggy base if you have another slightly older bugless base to work from.
At the moment their are no known bugs or quirks with Dynamites A02 RTM ROM. This is why others and myself are tweaking this ROM to create the perfect WM6.1 setup. Don't be fooled by this thread, this is my secondary thread I use to report to another audience. All communication I have with the community regarding Dynamites A02 ROMs are done on another forum elsewhere.
Unless another newer WM6.1 ROM with no bugs or quirks is released then Dynamites A02 RTM ROM should become the perfect WM6.1 ROM. We have already got the performance up on it and is fast enough to play games with no frame drops while sending audio output via a2dp over bluetooth.
Sorry no offense against you or this thread, only wanted to know if this ROM has advantages over the newer makuu release.. Thank you for the explanation!
No worries.
All cool... Sorry if I come across aggressive, I just don't get much luv here on xda. So yeah, I feel like I'm always having to defend myself. Maybe if there was a 'Thanks' system here then people would see that there are some that do know what they speak instead of us all being cowboys. But hey, I cut my teeth here, so I will continue to post here.
Cheers.
Dynamite A02 v8.0 RTM ROM with 4MB pagepool
Due to fact that I am relatively sure 4MB is best pagepool size for this ROM and that some users are requesting an already changed ROM to be uploaded.
Please find attached a Dynamite A02 v8.0 RTM ROM with 4MB pagepool.
http://www.mediafire.com/?w1xwt2izzmz
Please if anyone would like to add and post some mirrors that would be appreciated.

Wow, your first post!
Anyhow, usually it would be nice to have more/clearer details of your question, or a screenshot showing what you are refering too.
Ok, I think you are refering to the 'softkeys' at the bottom of the screen. The issue you have is nothing to do with this ROM at all and cannot be modified directly in this ROM so either you have modified the registry or you are using a 3rd party software which has caused this problem.
To solve this problem I suggest a utility called "Softkeys Control Panel Applet".
With this utility you can change them to whatever you want.
http://www.dotfred.net/SoftkeyAppletEx.htm
Cheers.
(How did you know it was my first post? Is there some big red number somewhere??) Yes, I'm mostly a reader, not a poster.
Anyway, the 'softkeys' usually have "calendar" on the left and "contacts" on the right, so I don't know why mine has "contacts" on both sides. This was after the fresh ROM flash. I'll look into the applet.
Thanks. (And a great, BIG thanks to all of you super-brains who like to dig into this stuff and make it great for the rest of us.)
