anyone tried to get the backpack workin on wm6?
I installed the wm2003 drivers, but just like wm5... it didn't work out..
i think if wm5 dont play nicely with it nor will wm6
it dont have drivers in it for other devices then what build in
so the question is wm6 is more likely to work with 2003 drivers
then wm5 is
@Bstard have you tried if the backpack at least does add battery life?
I installed the wm2003 driver and nothing happend, the system didn't recognize the battery ;-(
didn't test if there is extended battery life with the backpack attached

hi, i tried to on my Wm6, also didnt work.
Can you upload driver?
i want to try that makes work.
I tried this morning. To my surprise the VGA output from the backpack works. Unfortunately that's the least important feature for me. I can't find a CF card and it doesn't show up in battery status.
Unfortunately there are some other good reasons to uninstall these drivers now:
-phone dialer and/or xcpuscalar keep on popping up when I close other programs
-activesync refuses to connect
I very much appreciate Asukal's offer to look into it, I tried to upload the drivers I own but I get the error message "Upload backpack.zip failed" time and time again
Update: several versions of drivers can be downloaded from this thread on buzzdev:
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,6,267,1580#msg-1580
BTW Rictec is the only person that I found so far in any forum saying he had backpack battery status running in WM5
Several people have VGA output running under WM5 and WM6
I haven't found anyone who claims to have CF card functioning
I uploaded the backpackdriver.sa.cab in the uploads/himalaya folder

can anyone tell me the performance of WM5 on the i-mate PDA2k, is it slow,, fast?/, just tell me so i upgrade...thx
IMHO, it's unacceptable slow. I downgraded my device to 2003SE back.
No phone after upgrading my i-mate!!
After upgrading to WM5 my phone don't work anymore:
Error: Unknown SIM Status
Can you help me?
Thanks
Amulet
Well, I must agree that WM5 slows down your PDA... for me its performance was kind of acceptable, but still noticeably slower. Especially if u install many applications.
I was just curious to see how WM5 looks like on my MDA III and how it works, but I haven't been satisfied with the results (slower and active sync couldn't recognise device)
so I downgraded it back to 2003SE. For now I think I'll wait a bit more to see how things with WM5 and this device will develop.
If u know why and what are u doing than u can try to upgrade, but imho if it ain't broken... :wink:

I was (really I am who knows if it will arise again) having this same problem. Have made a follow up to the problem and it seems like the error reproduces if you take the battery out of the device.
I was able to have SIM service again (after many attempts) by resseting it.
I thought it was a problem with my SIM (its already 4 years old). Is yous as old as mine?
Please note my device model.

I think it will depend on the kind of device you own. On my PDA2k (BlueAngel) WM5 runs even faster than 2003SE.
Some minor problems, though... :roll:
Agree with arieltools as my Orange M2000 (ba) runs perfectly acceptable.

Hm-m... Today I'm not sure. I've just tried again and have found that just flashed wm5 works pretty fast, almost like 2k3se. I suppose it becomes slow after some software is installed, maybe spb pocketplus 3.0 ore something... It's very important to make some hacks.
I switched registry to file mode, turned off animation and GUI sounds.
For more information try to search forum about tweaks2k2 wm5.

Yep, I agree with that. Just flashed WM5 worked really great for me, but than again, sync didn't work (yep, i could reinstall XP, coz i know that AS will work in that case) and as soon as I upped some software from other pc, WM5 started to sink... Just to explain, applications worked relatively fast when they started, but getting to them (start - programs etc.) was really slow.
If anyone has good performance results with MDA III (T-Mobile) and WM5 (with some applications on it) i would like to hear about that.
Hey all,
I had to downgrade back to WM2003 from WM5 due to speed issues, and while things are fine, I find that I really miss the device lock button on the today screen.
Can someone grab the CAB for that and throw it on the FTP server?
Thanks!
would be nice if we could use that on wm2003se
So it won't run on 2003SE?
i don't know
i just wanna say i would like that on my ba with wm2003se
TuMa 1.3 causes unregular Resets on my MDA. So I tried the "BA WM2005 5.03.02WWE - standard upgrade" from Buzzdev.net. Works fne for me. But I´d like the Device lock and the Bat Meter, too. I found no place to download. Any Ideas?
No, it is not going to work. Code compiled to WM5 is not going to run under 2003SE (only the other way around).
i do need that cab
cam aNy one put it here :?:

I'm running Helmi's WM2k5 AKU3.0 v.1.2 Beta rom, but I have a problem with wm5torage.
When I enable it, it shows up on my computer but when I go into the device nothing shows up. I seem to remember it working fine in the AKU2.3 rom.
Anyone else got this problem?

Yes, i have the same problems.
I did a test, and realise that drive letter that you see inside your PC is the "Extended ROM" on your device.
You can make "extended ROM" visible and copy some files to it. and you will be able to see it on your PC.
on all wm5 roms ive tried with extrom support wm5torage uses it, i think it may have somthing to do with the order they are mounted...

I thinks you are right. WM5torage see the first storage only, some ROMs see the SD card and some see extended rom.
Would there be any way around this do you think?

There's a way... Use the new Version Of WM5Storage v1.7 with the ability to select the disk to be mount.
the detection procces in my computer is slow, maybe my firewall, I Dont know for sure, since the author said this app might not work for some device, but give it a try...
I'll try it tonight on your AKU3.2 ROM Helmi, when I get round to upgrading.
It also detects very slow on my PC, but my XBox 360 picks it up straight away so I will use that one.
wm5torage v1.7 works fine on 1.3 Helmi. Good work
I have the same problem with both WM5torage 1.5,1.6,and 1.7 in both Helmi 1.2 and 1.3. When I activate WM5S and dock the BA, I get the windows device connect sound and no drive pops up in explorer. As soon as I undock the BA a removeable drive briefly pops up as the device disconnect sound chimes. What is causing this?
I've not actually tried docking with my PC yet - but it connects fine to my Xbox 360, is recognised and can browse though it and play my music So it might be an OS problem if it won't recognise it on the PC (I run Vista BTW, so that might be my problem).
Same problems , using 1.7 , drive does not show up on windows. And also Storage card disappear from device, must reset device ....
I am running helmi's 1.3 beta and 1.7 wm5torage and it works fine. The only problem is that you need to give almost 5 minutes to it before the drive appears.
I think you guys might be facing the same slowness. Which is why the sound of device connecting and disconnecting is coming.
Hope this Helps.
last time I remember it working fine was 1.5 with a logout ROM
a different problem for me
i have :
universal
helmi c 3.5 v1.3
wm5storage 1.73
it says and i quote !!
Can't switch to mass storage usb driver, error 1f. maybe some running programs have files open on storage card, preventing direct access. try to close all running programs.
note that i do NOT have any running programs, or have any programs installed to storage card !!!
all i have on my storage card are mp3s ....
can't seem to make it work !
V1.73 works on Helmi/Logout ROM.
As Naveen_J pointed out, it takes from 3 to 5 minutes to display the drive icon in File Explorer.
The Storage Card is missing after disconnect but taking it out of the slot & reinserting back gets it recognized by BA once again. No need to soft reset.
@dhob187:
Do you have installed & running any Today Screen plugin (Resco Today, SPB +. W. Advance Desktop, etc.) that displays SD Card status? In case any of those plugins are running, might be causing the conflict.
Hi all, ive been looking on here for a while now (and several other places too) for a fix for this. i have a cingular 8125 that works fine with all versions of activesync on windows XP, but on my home computer i have Vista RC1. i have downloaded WMDC and instaled that and i get all the way through the installation fine, then when i go to sync, it loads all the USB driver untill it gets to on that says "Unspecified Device" and fails. I havve tried the "WHOS" reg patch and several other things inculding checking for udates with the device attached, installing with the device attached....you get the pic..its bewen driving me nuts. Anyone either kow of a fix for this or have the driver(s) for me to install on the computer? Thanks in advance
Corey
Also...this has always been an issues since the stock 1.8 rom. i then tried the stock cingular 2.25 rom, the first release of the molski/faria/kyphur/etc. 3.3 rom, and the PDAVeit ver.2 WM6 rom and all have given me the same result. any ideas? i cant seem to find any driver anywhere, and im starting to think that maybe i have something wrong with my device.
bump for some help?
Vista Buisness N
Vista Buisness N confirmed not to work with active sync. Wait until Microsoft releases a patch. Probably tommorow
cool, thanks for the info...i hope it works on RC1 too.... do you know if it will be available from windows update or will i need to search microsofts webpage to get it? thanks for the help
I have vista ultimate got it a few weeks back and i ran into a problem with my mda because there is no active sync. I had to get the sync center version from RC1 to get it to sync right. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx thats where i got it from you can give it a try.

RUU under Vista
WMDC works fine for me (RTM build). The problem I have is eing unable to run RUU under Vista - it crashes after my Wizard goes into bootloader.
Someone seen this too or am I the only one unlucky?
bootloader
This is a very common problem. Ithink it has something to do with the rapi connections
Not sure this works, but have you made sure that the remote-NDIS network card is set to have the IP address assigned by the DHCP instead of using a static ip address (default)?
I am weary of upgrading to WM6 or Vista due to compatability issues. Even though the tech whore side of me is foaming at the mouth to them up and running I have read and think there are still too few drivers and support for Vista. Plus I need $134 to upgrade from business to ultimate

vista kind of sucks but wm6 is great.
Vista is just really annoying to use. I have Vista/sever 2003/xp on my laptop and I almost always use server. I think mostly because I develop web apps. Server just works, no crap.
WM6 is a very very welcome upgrade over wm5 and overall it seems less buggy than even the latest AKU's for WM5.
Are you tired of waiting for the "shift project" team to release a cooked ROM??
Are you a ROM chief willing to cook something for the Shift??
Do you want to use the internal GPS on your Shift??
If you answered is yes to all questions, we have a small present for you!
The Shift Happy Cooking Team presents OS.nb from HTC's 1.30.453.0 WWE ROM, including the latest GPS drivers in OEMAPPS.
You need to create a NBH file and use HardSPL + CustomRUU to flash it.
Rapidshare download Link:
ROM_Shangrila_HTC_WWE_1.30.453.rar
Happy cooking!!
THANKS!!!! c",)
Where and how did you get this rom?
thanks!!!!!!!
big up to you.
downloaded, gonna cook it and flash it today
Well well, that's a nice news flash... how come it's not a pre-cooked ROM, and could you explain a little more on how this ROM was built ? Please tell us everything you know about the ROM
Just flashed the rom as it came. Works fine and its quite speedy.
I had to use EnableRapi.cab, or it wouldnt work.
Liberation works flawlessly.
Changed from my Japanese rom to English.
Nicely done...Thanks very much.
PS. After the liberation and first soft reset, i had a strange high pitched noise. Soft reset fixed it.
Please show us screenies
Does the GPS Settings Icon allow you to share/split your comports with success ?
To be sure, is the ROM liberated out of the box, or do you have to re-liberate ?
How much mem is free after soft reset , and did you test the GPS already ?

You have to re liberate afterward.

Unfortunately the GPS is TeleNav...Since I live in Japan, I cannot sign up and check.
The rom is a shipping rom, so not liberated. But liberation works fine.
Mem is 35.95 Storage and 43.05 Program
It has a Storage Card tab under memory settings, but shows my card as not installed.
Screens will follow....
Who will Cook a liberated ROM - Vanilla ?
Who can liberate the stock ROM, and cook that into a new ROM ?
I guess the starting point for many people would be a Cooked&Liberated GPS enabled ROM.
From there, the Chiefs in the ROM Kitchens' can elaborate on that as a starting point.
It would be great if the Chiefs keep in mind that the SPLASH screens in the Shift are really UGLY and need to be flashed too
Somehow I dont have any sound using this rom.
Try turning sound on in VIsta, then soft-reset SnapVue

I had this once, without even flashing a ROM, it just happened.
Booted vista, de-mute, reset Snapvue and it worked,
if this doesn't work, it would be nice to hear more stories from people who flashed....
Hope you get your Tunes back.... !
Got sound. Be sure to install all latest drivers on vista side from htc. See my post on the shift forum. I had this bug before, but not anymore.
I don't think the sound issues have anything to do with audio drivers in vista side. IMHO it's related to the radio version. This ROM seems to play nicely with radio versions 1.27.x but not with radio versions 1.58.x.
Can anyone confirm that "GPS Sharing from WinMo >> Vista"
is working ? How do you do it, how does one send GPS data to vista ?
Can anyone confirm that the GPS Settings ICON in WinMo is succesfull in enabling a hardware and software (virtual) comport in WinMo ?

GPS work and I tested it. To send data to vista, you can setup an activesync connection and use franson gpsgate on both side using an activesync passtrough

I had the sound problem, but not anymore. I've upgraded ec drivers, and everything htc published a few days ago. I didn't change my radio. The drivers are definitly helping, even if it's the shagsrv or the ec controler playing a part here.
I have a 1.58 radio version, and the rom works very well with it.
I'm sure vista plays a part in this bug, and the latest update solves it.
EDIT: you are right, I don't have headset plug working anymore
