pocket pc help - General Topics

hi - i recently bought an i-mate pocket pc which had WM5 installed on it
everything was fine untill when i was installing something it froze - i soft resetted and it wouldnt start up anymore - so i put it back to 2003 - its working fine now (a lot faster too) but the camera isnt working anymore - do i have to download special software or a driver or something or do i have to go back to WM5?
if i do then where would i get it from? i could only get 2003 from club imate
any help would be greatly appreciated

I have no idea wht I-Mate that you have so the only thing I can suggest is goint ot XDA-wiki (on the menu bar above) or checking the main thread page and matching the picture of you device.

hi
thanks so much for the quick reply
my pocket pc is called the imate pocket pc
here's its specs on the official imate site
http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_PPC.aspx
my problem is the camera doesn't work *period* on windows 2003
thanks again

Well It looks like an alpine,
Have you updated with the latest rom of the i-mate site ?

hi just see how did you get WM5 installed on a i-mate jam thanks

No way, sorry - it's NOT possible to install WM5 on the Magician. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=240960 for more info.

You hv not flashed probavly the extended ROM or since u had WM 5on it ect ROM does not exist.The camera Cab file is in the extended ROM.Suggest visit the FTP, himalaya section and get hold of camera cab from the extended ROm and install it..your camera will restart

hi
thank you all for your replies
i have the latest rom from imate and this is it
how would i go about getting the camera cab from that rom?

btw the file i got from imate site was
ruu172126wwe_imate.exe
does this file have the extended rom or is it a seperate file?
i'm sorry for my ignorance but this is my first pocket pc and i only got it a week ago
still learning
btw an extended rom is necessary or just extra?

WOW!!!!!!!!!
i found the camera software on your ftp in the himalaya section and it works now and SOOOOOOOOO much better than it was on WM5!!!!!!!
thank you so very much - it wasn't very important that the camera worked (since i thought that even if it did work it wouldnt matter coz the quality was so bad i wouldnt use it) but now that it does and the quality is so much better i couldn't be happier
again thank you all so much - i am in your debt

Best WM6 Rom so far!

Hello,
Ok, Im completely confused by now!!! What is the best wm6 room avaiable? Is it based on a final wm6 rom or still beta? Is it usable, does it work? what are the issues?
thanks,
Joao Oliveira.

I think the most stable WM6 rom for Prophet is "Smart1"'s CLEAR rom.
But I can sync with my outlook, I have upgraded to Activesync 4.5 though.
Do I need to upgrade to activesync 4.5 English version? Because I am using Chinese one.
Since at the moment that I have tried there is none that works completely well, they usually have mistakes with the BT, I have returned to WM5 and have put the rom of ASERG AKU3.3 v.12, very good and stable

Same here.. ..a friend of mine has the Most Beautiful ROM running on his Wizard right now. It seems to me that's the best WM6.0 ROM out there at the moment. Disappearing SMS problems are solved etc.
Would be great to see this ROM running on the Prophet
But it should solve:
- IR problems
- Include the charge fix
- SMS storing problem
- BT pairing history
We just have to wait for a willingly and smart Prophet user who can give this a try
So let me get this straight:
1. ASERG AKU3.3 v.12 is currently better than any WM6 ROM currently in this forum (for a Prophet) ??
2. Can someone please show us images comparing WM6 ROMs and AKU ROMs (how they look like) ? please...
thanks

1. For the Prophet, yes.
2. Look HERE for info about the different AKU's.
And take a look HERE for info about WM6.0.
thx mccune!
i have looked at the differences... it seems that AKU is more stable and everything (since i have installed smart1's WM6 ROM and there are a few unresolved bugs...)
but anyways, i like WM6's appearence way better... and this is what matters more for me hehe
but... im still a bit confused about something... what exactly is AKU ? i mean ... does it have anything to do with microsoft? or is it simply another OS in competition with microsoft's WM ? :S
i can see the widows logo in the AKU's pics... thats y im confused
in other words: Why are there AKU and WM6 roms in this forum ? :S whats the difference ?
thx in advance
It says it all in the link he gave you
"Review of update packs (AKU) for Windows Mobile 5.0""
Looks like AKU is a set of upgrades which Microsoft release, maybe like "service pack" for XP. These include patches and tweaks for the OS.
SO ASERG AKU3.3 v.12 is the old version of Windows Mobile, (WM2005) but with latest updates from Microsoft installed.
Ahh okayzzz...
so AKU is like WM5 SP# and WM6 is... well, WM6
thx
ASERG AKU3.3 v.12 Issues
Recently loaded this rom on my Prophet multiple issues with Rom, Calender is in Russian or something, unit runs really slow, drains batt fast, unable to select notifications from Voice msg and be connected directly to voice mail, running of programs is delayed or crashed.
Know this is the most recent one out there just not sure if it fully functional.

Why are you so negative about this ROM?
- Calender is in Russian -> Change your region settings
- unit runs really slow -> Never heard off such problem
- drains batt fast -> Maybe your device has been OC-ed using BatteryStatus?
- Other point I don't use, so no comment.
I've tried almost every ROM available for the Prophet and I must say this is one of the best!
To me the best WM6 Rom is the smart1 clear... but it's just a opinion.
Rom Issues
The phone has no Batt issues, untill loaded this rom batt at time runs hot, turning the unit off is inpossible w/out taking the Batt out - the shut down screen only restarts the unit or puts in in standby, attaching the unit w/ a bluetooth - if the unit is actually restarted or shut off does not recall the prev settings - have to re-attach the unit as a new item, Wireless - will not keep WEp keys stored in system, again if re-start unit must re-activate the whole sys & keys, MS Messenger will not log on at not point even re-starting the unit will not work & finally when the rom is initially run not all the programs install have to manually go back in to install application (ex. batt tester, batt charge notification on desktop are some f/ example). To actually speed up the system needed to re-run the rom update 3X not the best thing to have to do. Additional suggestion rom could use a PDF initial install prog. instead of having to install after rom run & set up.
My present rom is aserg's 3.12
Hi guys, I still think that Aserg's 3.12 rom is the best. However, I am waiting too for a good and (more) stable WM6 rom to use the new features. Wm6 stiil has too many problems to fix e.g. not working IR , etc.
I include 3 pics of my current rom with 2 versions of my today screen. Isn't it what someone asked in this thread? If anyone knows a better WM6 rom, please let me know.

It is a big question, but all your questions are answered in this huge forum already, so you have to go and do some reading and searching for yourself and you will find all your answers, plus more and you will learn a lot. You will see what people said about 6.1 and you will see waht people said about BT just by reading other threads.
Dude, theres official BT fix to download from the HTC: (Bluetooth Hot Fix (for HTC TyTN II) )

1. the vibrate function can provide you hours of enjoyment, with proper placement (external or internal, your choice)
2. install as many programs as possible, filling up both main memory and storage card, using them once or twice then never use them again. after flashing a new rom, install a new assortment of software you probably don't need.
3. re-encode your favourite pr0n to ppc scaling and impress your friends with today's pocket pr0n.
4. port over wm5 from the wizard (blinding speeds, you won't be sorry)
5. read ALL the stickies in Kaiser upgrading area of forum (this isn't near as fun as the other suggestions, but you'll be able to answer your own questions, and be comfortable in the knowledge that you can hack your phone "without any help")
1 and 3 make a nice combo too!
Yes there is a WM6.1 upgrade, i am using Shaps at the moment and it seems to work fine for me.
WM6.1 doesnt give you a huge amount new, Shaps 6.1 rom for me has been stable and quick, i dont tend to install much on my phones though other than the included stuff. I do a few bits and install TomTom. 6.1 has threaded sms which is nice but has some annoying little issues, like i cant seem to find a way to forward sms messages any more. bit annoying.
Flicking through some of the other forums people seemed to be muttering about not being able to sync there 6.1 phones with ex2003, i use ex2007 though so i cant comment, mine works fine.
Havent noticed any bad sound quality over bluetooth. Be more specific though, do you mean stereo bluetooth or just normal.
I use the htc home plugin looks nice and works well.
Hope i have helped.
Rob
ps. Remember before you rush out and start flashing roms, read the wiki and things. You have to do stuff like hard spl and things first.
If i were you i would do it in this order.
1. hard spl
2. sim unlock (if needed)
3. wm 6.1 rom
4. radio rom

Here is my latest version for those interested to test it.
It is still buggy but I finally got the keyboard to work.

You are welcome if you want to help​

Thanks Dr Gonzo.
Keep up the gr8 work.. I will test it tonight..
If my phone is unable to boot then how can i restore back to your guava rom?
You have to re-flash it to New Guava, there is no "restore".
I'd say don't test it if you've never experienced an unusable phone
I'd like to know if people feel like me that it is faster ? It seems so.
But switching from portrait to landscape is very slow.. If someone has some knowledge of the files involved in this maybe it could be fixed.
Maybe it is because I have not ported all the files from wm 6.1 xip.
I still need to do a lot of tests here.
Hi Dr Gonzo
Being in touch with an expereinced person like you gives me the confidence to test it. I hope you will help me if GOD forbid i get an unusable phone...

THX in advance

I'm going to flash your WM 6.1 ROM onto my Vox because I am courious what WM 6.1 is like. Is this just a plain WM 6.1 ROM or a New Guava ROM?
Roland
flashing done but my phone is stucked on mobile operator splash screen for a long time
this rom seems slower than wm6..
Damn I cant belive this. U r awesome dude!
Thanx god u had the great idea to buy the vox!
What does Unusable mean? Something like a beta version? Or an alpha? I mean can I call send sms etc? Thanx.
ok i got a screen like the one dr gonzo posted.. its gr8
speed is very very gooooooooooooooooood
here is version information
windows mobile 6.1 Standard
OS 5.2.19195
Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90
I've just flashed my phone with this ROM, it's very fast compared with WM 6, the screen quicker when the keyboard has been opend compared with WM 6, needs clear type switching on and HTC Audio Manager adding and it will be looking good, keep the revisions coming as you port more of the ROM to the Vox. Can not wait to see what yuou do with the New Guava ROM when you have fineshd porting all of WM 6.1.
Roland
dude post some screenshot!
activesync also working fine with it..
need some clean fonts & cleartype enabled...
GPRS, bluetooth & wlan not working...
drivers needed for them..
wake up dr gonzo.. we need you
lol i'm pretty sure he said its still in the testing phase....cant expect hourly updates lol

GPRS works for me but wifi and bluetooth don't. Have you run the network setup wizard that pops up when your phone booted after it booted to the OS for the first time after Flashing the ROM?
Roland
Yep! Gprs works like a charm, wifi bluetooth not. Is there the t9? I cant find it, I trie to install the all language cab from the new guava 3d. The phone is fast very fast and quite stable too. Great work doc!

have already flashed my device with the new rom and have been testing. amazing work! the only problem till now is that the vueflo doesn't seem to work. internet explorer starts, the little circle of the vueflo is shown on the taskbar, the little point moves following the movement of the device but the content of the web page isn't scrolling. i have of course enabled the vueflo in settings. fast and clean rom indeed. i love the michyprima's touch in settings.

Hello Michy,
is there a way to get "Large Start Menu" running?
I'm currently trying 6.1 Light in 96dpi with HTC Home "Small" - but I'd like to have the large start menu. In your former X7500 ROMs there was under "Settings\Personal" an icon called "Menu setting" to adjust menu size and enable "Large Start Menu". I tried the AP4.0 cab for Large Start Menu - this isn't working.
Any idea ?
Regards
Dieter
