Ivan has uploaded his latest (3.3R4) modded version of Mamaich's Wizard2BA ROM here.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Shipped_Extracted_Updates/WM5_pack_V1.rar
No mention in the text files of what's changed since 3.3R3, and I've not had time to try it myself yet.
One thing I can say is that the previous 3.3R3 build was a lot quicker than TuMa1.3, albeit with fewer built-in applications. Hopefully R4 builds on that speed advantage.
I'll post whatever I can discover about this build tonight after I've tried it out.
At very worst it's something to play with while we all wait for TuMa 1.4.
EDIT: Link corrected (MDAIIIUser)
EDIT: New version 4 Revision 2.1

significantly faster than TuMA 1.3, very responsive. rings at the first ring, able to play MIDI files as ringtones, no lag time on the keyboard. very very good.
First time ive heard of this rom. Would appreciate if anyone who has tried it can post feedback.
Just installed it and configed it to my normal settings.
It's a raw install of WM5, no optional apps at all, and it's a lot quicker than TuMa. In particular the messaging and phone apps seem a lot more responsive.
One other note - a lot of filesystem cache options are not set or left at defaults in this build, so it might be possible to speed things up even more with a few regtweaks.
According to readme this ROM is based ont he original WM5 BA ROM with some fixes. I have not tried it yet.
Can anyone post any comparison benchmarking results (such as by SpB Benchmark) of this ROM against the TuMa 1.3 ROM?
Thanks... m8.....
ill try....
:twisted:
hey
If anyone here already tried this WM 5.0 for BA, pls post your feedbacks here...
this rom is quite fast on 400mhz is as fast as tuma 1.3 on 530
there is no skiping in windows media while playing mp3s
language packs fully working
no problems with disable/enable wifi
standard rings beetween first and second ring
cool rom
Some app can not install on this version
I have tryed absolutely every WM5 rom for blueangel, and this one is the fastest thah i have seen. I don't need to overclock my cpu to run it smooth. All the options are more responsive PIE works quite well. Wifi works like a charm, I have not tryed bluetooth yet. This rom is clean and fast, I want all the future roms to be like this one. I do not need extra software but buggy OS, i want clean WM5 rom and if I need something i will install it later. Thanks Ivan for continiue mamaich's work, you both have done great job!
yeah
This is more fast than TuMa v1.3. I havent tried the pocket IE yet. Btw can I install the RAM Disk like the used in TuMa v1.3? If so, where can i download the right version for BA?
wooh
Tried already the pocket IE, for me it is faster than ever before.. Same with the messaging applications. Its really fast...that's all i can say...
No devicelock....????whay?
DOC reprtitioning tool works on this version of WM 5.0 for BA
It'sreally the fastest wm5 i've had tried. Bt headset issue is still here
wifi is ok ad really fast to take net :lol:
Some problem to switch with my dual sim card (also in tuma1.3 and older) i've to reset to have the second sim run.
Phone is really good .....
Now I've had a few hours to work with this build I can honestly say it's the best WM5 there is for BA. Not least because I can actually answer the phone without the thing locking up, or taking so long to open the phone app that I miss the call.
In the past I've used the original Wizard2BA and TuMa 1.3, and this thing beats both for speed and stability. It does have less features than TuMa, but if you want extra applications (MMS, regedit, keyboard skins....) then just download them and add the ones you want - not such a big deal.
The lack of a screen lock shouldn't be a big problem. Instead I've just set the button lock to "all buttons except power button" in control panel, then turn the device off to lock buttons and screen.
Shame the BT issue is still present but we can't have everything.
It´s a fast and clean ROM.
No double entries in programs and settings.
No problems with wifi so far - but I only tested this for about 10 minutes.
Responding of the device is faster than TuMa 1.3
ActiveSync stil signals connected after removing the device from the cradle but semms to make no further problems.
"Media" Sync is working fine.
I am only missing the device lock today plugin. Is it possible to install this manualy?
Thanx!
Great job!
mms?
Where can i download compatible ArcSoft MMS for this version? I tried the one from TuMa v1.3 but it doesnt work (or may I just missed somethings?) I did manage to make a new mms account though...
I've a problem to use extended rom. It's impossibile to unhide it so i'm not able to use it.
Any suggestion??
regards
?/
Just follow on the procedure.. First install Extended ROM unlocker, unhide and unlock your BA and soft reset and then install the extended_rom visible and then soft reset again.. You will see now ur extended rom
Hi,
I've got a problem installing this rom. It installs ok, but on startup it starts installing files from extended rom:
1. BA_version_140.cab
2. Album_BlueangelAKU26_Generic_WWE_RC20.cab
I dont know if i should install these, or if they are remains from TUMA 1.3 (or romz before that).
The problem is the soft keys YES/NO dont even work, so i cant install and i have to wait for it to cancel automatically.
Anyone got a solution/answer?

btw go here for Extended_ROM preparing (Thanks for Midget..again..., thanks man!):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade_EXTENDED_ROM
Its basicly the same procedure, sorry for not updating the wiki page, I'll love if some1 whould do that for me...
Trying it,very fast indeed.
Will report if find any bug,but it seems OK.
Thank bro.
:wink:
Downloading and will flash soon. Hope this will be better than previous releases of other ROMs. Will be having response soon!
Thanks for your hard work!
A2DP Issue
With regards to the above, I have posted the differences I found between TuMa 1.4 and this ROM here...
It seems that although everything is present, the BtA2dpSnd.dll isn't being activated and so the functionality, although offered when pairing a device, isn't available as a profile, I'm at work all day (bummer ) and won't be able to work on it this weekend due to family commitments, but if anyone else (Tuatara ) could look at this it would be great!
hey spkr4thdd
u r too worried about your ad2p thing too much. it will come around.
btw, great work Helmi, thanks
imatrix
im having problems synchronizing w/ an exchange server, i receive an error:
"Security certificate on the server is invalid."
Hi
What speed tweaks are you using? Can you share'em?
@ helmi_c
Moved your rom to a safe place and corrected link.
Please update wiki WM5 page with your rom.
IMAP4 Account gone after changing Battery
The captioned problem is encountered in both Tuma 1.4 and Helmi 1.0 ROM. Am I the only victim?
Cheers, thanks all for your tremendous effort in compiling the WM5 ROMs!

I think it is a known problem with all WM5 ROMs at least on BA (disappearing e-mail accounts if battery removed).
On first boot after replacing the battery you should immediately soft-reset with the reset hole when you see "R None" displayed. That should prevent your email accounts from disappearing. As KTamas said this happens with all BA WM5 roms i've used (Tuma 1.3, Himalaya port and original WM5 beta rom)
One question, due to my work schedule I cant flash till the weekend. Do AKU 2 functions like push email work? Havent seen this mentioned so far.
IMAP4 account on WM5
Speaking of the devil, I have seen the same stupid situation on a brand new HP iPaq rw6828 once. Together with VGSMail, the push mail functions quite OK on the BA Tuma1.4 Beta except the frequent popping up of Repollog errors. Too bad if we need to take extra precautions in changing battery! Is there any cure at all?

Certainly does - I have push email working with this ROM over GPRS.
Made my day that did Huge thanks to Bepe, Helmi and everyone else for the work on this - finally a WM5 ROM that I can *use*
If there's enough demand I'll document what I did - though the vast majority of the work is configuring Exchange and OWA itself, very little to do on the device.

Which is which???
Hi there,
First of all, thanks for the great work! It is really a nice ROM . Just need to find out something. I downloaded the "Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_32mb_v1.rar" file, thinking that it should give me 32 MB of RAM Disk. But after I install it, it shows 64MB of RAM disk. Can anyone tell me which one is the file that create 32 MB of RAM disk? Thanks...

Trust me, I'm working on it, unfortunately I have a monstrous amount of family commitments this weekend... so it might not be for a couple of days... it's the one thing left I want fixed, I don't use Pocket MSN anyway (prefer IM+ and FlexMail)
Tray Icons...
One thing I'd like to do is get rid of the BT Icon in the tray, remove the Comm Manager Today Plugin and get it in the tray instead, I know it's possible as the Universal and other newer PDA's have it there...
Does anyone know the reg entry to enable this? I've tried a couple of random ones but can't seem to get it working...
If all else fails I'll get a mate over with his Uni and dump his Registry
its not a reg entry, its an exe if i find it ill post it.
removing the tray apps is just a case of removing thier shortcuts in \windows\startup
and the com manager on today screen go to start>settings>personal>today>items and uncheck 'wireless'

I know that, I've removed the today plugin and tray icons I don't want, just need the exe for the comm mgr for try icon...
I'm not sure what the other files in this package are for. For example, do I need to run the \Preparation\ExtROM Unlocker - WM2003SE\xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB file before I flash the ROM and do I need to use the DOC repartitioning tool?
And what should be done with the files in the Extended_ROM directory?
Thanks.

Rom 5.04.09.WWE (Thanks logout for the base 5.04.09 ROM)

Ok.. just flashed this ROm. Initial performance of the interface is the same as Xplode 3.5.
But after instally three today plugins:
1. SPB Diary v2.1.2
2. Phone Alarm v1.58
3. SBSH iLauncher 3.0.01
the performance is very much slower compared to Xplode's 3.5. Everytime you open a menu or switch windows, there is a significant lag in the graphics redrawing.
Bluetooth Stereo
Hiya Helmi.. Just to confirm Bluetooth Stereo is working fine, as s the headset profile! A small note however, if you install teh windows Today Plugin, the audio stops after about a second!
Speed is good though! Seems stable..
Good job mate!
Bugreport
Two bugs noticed:
screen orientation icon on today screen taskbar will only switch between landscape modes and not back to portrait.
Cannot set home page in internet explorer. Will revert back to default setting.

that quite interesting... I've seen xplode registry setting and there all standar, un tweaked registry... hmm... does BA not very good when we tweak it or does the tweak require another graphics tweak to make it work equal the overall speed.. I'll install thoose app and I'll try to learn the effect... in the mean time try the attached cab (standarize.zip) to standarize the tweak setting about cache.. and please report the result...

can u please gave me the today plugin? I need to test it.. cos in my test, I've syncing, wifi conected, and also play 15mb divX movie with PPC DivX player, and audio transmitted to my pc.. yes it skip a little but didn't stop playin the movie for about 1++ hour its only stop when I stop it... U might also try the standarize.cab for testing..
I've just reflashed Xplode's 3.5 and I can confirm the performance is better. My contacts in Pocket Informant loads faster, and there is no Today screen lagginess.
I also confirm the screen rotate bug. It doesn't rotate back to Portrait once you switch to Landscape. Need to go back to Settings > Screen to make it Portrait again.
@Helmi, will try the cab file soon. Hope its the solution. You both are just great!

Noticed its a bit difficult to activate BT stereo as well! Any ideas as to how to make a button to switch it on and off??

UPDATE:: Helmi.. if you deactivate the BT headset, and then reactivate it it works! I have no idea why!

Sound
Hi
I found a problem with the system sound, and cant get it figured out.
I installed the WM6 sound fix, but its if the sounds "jumps" and is not fluent.
When i listen to a track on media player, the songs jumps.
Its like something is working in the background or summin.
Has anyone else experience this?
Cheers!
Hmm, for me MediaPlayer plays mp3 fluently... heck, even AudioManager plays without choking - everything is fine.
And scrolling InternetExplorer on polish locale settings is fast, too.
Strange problems... specially you, rac - you're reporting quite many problems. I have no idea why it's working so bad for you Probably there's problem with one of your softs installed. Did you format your hive and storage after flashing? It seems to me as it weren't done, thus having really garbaged hive.

Hi there!
The ROM is working great now, now hang ups, not slow, nothing,
Im really happy with it!!
When i use Resco Radio, with WIFI, the sound is perfect, no glitches etc.
Its only WM player, really strange. When i reflashed it yesterday, the media player worked fine.
Its probably caused by some or other software, but i cant figure it out!
I will install winamp tonight, and se if it does the same!
Thanks for all your help Utak3r!
jawbreaker do not have the right and left button(visable),it means we can't restart the game until the dev soft-rest
I don't know who mention this, but the navigation keys (arrows keys) is not functioning properly in landscape mode.

Guys, feedback on the sound. I installed Winampaq, and the sound is great! No problems.
I think something i installed does not work with my Media player!!
So im sorted!
Also, the device does not hang up or anything. So the problem was defenitley the 6 tab HTC home plugin!
Cheers
ie
fix don`t work.
little speed can be gained by turning of cleartype.
Bug can be seen, for example, at 1-st page of this treated.
Beginning is ok, after while when there were a lot of texts - slowdown appears.
for example - at wm5 scroling downward one page takes less then 1 second; in wm6 - 3-4 seconds, the more text - the more slowdown.
images/flash/frame not affect speed as the text do.

It's been an issue since helmi_C's wm5. not fixed until now.
Well, there is a fix for zooming. The problem is, it introduces another bug preview image is 90 degrees rotated It was taken from BA's camera with Hima driver.
The only bug i find is that i cant get intent midlet manager to run, When i install it and try open it nothing happens... it adds it to recently run programs but thats about all.. I dunno if this is because im doing soemthing wrong or because theres a problem with the midlet manager and WM6 ?

with VOIP from schap's:

I have no sound either on the speaker nor on my BT headset Jabra BT620s.
It appears the the sound is not routed to the correct audio block.
I can`t get into Internet from my Himalaya standing in cradle (im WM5 everything was fine). Is it my special problem or is it common bug?
First I wanna thank all the ROM devs around here for their work and time spend to bring us all the new user interfaces to our X1´s. After working for years in developing a linux system I think I know what time and effort you put into this development.
I wanna share how I found MY perfect solution for a ROM which had to fulfill my needs which are:
- fully german localized, because I am a german Kraut
- no major bugs, if possible also no minor bugs
- eye candy
- smooth operation
- good battery performance
- Sense UI 2.1 with weather clock
You have to know I am a "power user", which means I am using the phone for managing my mails (Profimail), surfing the web, chatting, watching Youtube vids, doing phone calls (even that!), playing games, listen to web radio and also FM radio and much more.
After flashing a huge amount of the available ROMs, tweaking them and finally being disappointed after using them for a few days because of the bugs here and there, this is what is working for me for a handful of days now and as far as I can tell, this will be a keeper on my phone:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I flashed Itjes Touch It v3 (german edition) which can be found here: KLICK ME!
This ROM at least was fully german, smooth, with a good RAM usage and a good default software setup. Also it doesnt drain the battery as much as the Manila 2.5 ROMs do.
But this ROM disappointed me in two things, which now are solved for me:
Bug:
There was a (known) problem with the hardware keyboard when trying to type formula data inside Opera browser.
Solution:
Installing Opera 9.7 solved the issue. Cab can be found here: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/
Bug:
In the german rom the software dialer pad was misaligned and unusable, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4832499&postcount=39
Solution:
As I wrote above, I also was looking for eyecandy on my Xperia. I did experiment with various themes and finally settled on the Dusk theme.
Installing the Dusk (Rhodium) dialer fixed the dialer issue!
The complete Dusk theme for Sense 2.1 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570322
Addons (the dialer!) can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524797
For completion I added S2U2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523) with dusk theme (http://s2u2.lifestylepics.de/?page=b&e_id=63).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me this combination seems a perfect solution, maybe some of my german mates here can benefit from my experience.
Again a big THANK YOU! to the ROM devs, in this case especially to Itje!
Have fun,
OldNick
Thank you for sharing these informations with us and especially thank you, those who made these nice Rom's and Cab's.
I flashed many Rom's and jumped from one to the other and there are so many, that I have lost the overview. What I miss, is a list with ratings of the Rom's and some kind of clearly laid out list of critique.
But to cut a long story short, great Rom, great Cabs, great advice.

Great solution, although the original dailer would be better than the dusk dialer.
and unfortunately still the mms issue here which I haven't been able to solve...
I added the X2 dialer. Looks rather precious.

Whats wrong with the Dusk dialer? I like how it integrates in the rest of the dusk-themed system. The original dialer would look a bit strange... At least for my taste.
MMS: Cannot help here, I dont use MMS.
Have fun,

questions?
Can you tell me some more about the ram-usage?
How much ram is available after some time of normal usage?
On my device its around 50-60% after use of some apps and stays there. Beside running different apps I also have a handful of appointments with reminders active each day and I am using the phone as router for my notebook too. I didnt face any RAM problems up to now. Of course a small bit of the RAM is needed by the dusk theme, so you wont be able to come down to 40-45%.
Great
That sounds great ! I will give it a try
Thank you for sharing your experiences with this rom.
My last WM6.5 was a catastrophy and I was just on my way back to the original wm6.1 rom.

Good luck!
Good luck and tell us your experience with this combination!
Thanks man, finally a WM6.5 which works. Every other german RON I tried, was deleted just a few hours later. Everytime switchd back to cmex 0.8 WM6.1.
Nice solution, looks pretty neat, but has issues - at least for me. Maybe you can help?
For one, the Weather tab just won't update - it did once, 4 days ago, but never since. Hitting the refresh button makes that little globe icon rotate for a few seconds, then nothing. Any suggestions?
Also, Google Maps doesn't seem to pick up any satellites - maybe it doesn't interface with GPS properly, maybe GPS just doesn't see any satellites (weather has been rather crappy these days, so I'm rather reluctant to go out). QuickGPS won't update either. I'm getting slightly frustrated here...
No problems at all on my phone. Everything works properly. Do you have a naked one installed or do you have other apps installed as well?
I followed the suggestions in the original post to get the entire look (very neat), only additional piece of software I installed was Mobipocket Reader.
I really have no idea what the problem is here... Might have to reset and see what that changes.
looks very interesting to me. I always looked for max speed and eyecandy. I also like wm6.5 wich is much more finger friendly. Probably will check this one out. how is battery performance?? always had problams with my X1 and its battery. It sometimes only last for one or two days because of heave performance usage in the background. the real x-button never worked for me :-(
Ok, so I just installed this ROM and also modified it the same way you did. At the beginning typing with the virtual keyboard went fine. But suddenly without any know reason the virtual keyboard changed into "nubmer input" so just signs and numbers. And the key to switch back to qwertz is missing. it should be next to # but there is only a black button. Any suggestions?
Would really appreciate it, if I don't have to do a hard reset or switch to another ROM.
The same problem I've got also.
I already made some posts like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5256704&postcount=972 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606499 but no solution yet. Thinking about changing to another german ROM like XKan's Topaz v1.07 or YYYYY's H.V4.1
Which Radio version you use?!
tried what you said... and its very nice thx but just use the x2 dialer instead and dont use the dusk theme :] and opera 10 beta which is awesome
I found a way to switch back to "normal keyboard" but not to disable number keypad at all. You have to search for persons in your contact menu. Maybe another textfield works also.
I'm using Softwareversion R3AA010
I don't know why, but my battery decreses really fast since yesterday. I charged it using notebook connection. Before I installed this ROM I always had problems with killing Active Sync. I disconnected from the notebook, Active Sync closed but after some time started again and ran in background. How longs does your battery last?
When I change the settings for the softkeys in settings/personal,
it always resets it to default when restarting the device,
any fix for that?
