If you want to revert the original phonepad back, just go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Security/Phone/Skin, there you have to find key "Enable" and change value from "1" to "0". If you want to put back new phonepad, change the value back to "1".

CAUTION 1:
I'm not a developer from Eten or from Microsoft. I can only reduce or remove unusable things from the ROM and add some useful things.

CAUTION 2:
Before upgrading install this SDHC.cab and try if your microSD card will be read. Some the oldest microSD cards cannot be read. In such case uninstal SDHC.cab and don't upgrade! (another reason why your card cannot be read is, that you haven't formated your card into FAT16. It is important!)
http://rs297.rapidsh...578203/SDHC.cab


Update procedure:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! WARNING !!
! YOU USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
!! YOU COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW TO UPDATE:
1) Synchronise or backup your data)
2) Copy the following files to the root of your freshly formated microSD card (formated into FAT16 filesystem):

4) Enter bootloader mode (press and hold Camera button, Record button [the one is close to
vol+/vol- buttons] and Power button; press Reset while keeping all above buttons PRESSED;
keep the buttons PRESSED [except Reset] until X500 shows "USB Downloader ***" etc.)
5) If your card is formated correctly, you should see the following info:

Here comes the link to the "normal" French Rom 032-0436 :

Panot can you do the same job has Morf but with this french file ??

CyberWarrior, on Feb 13 2008, 12:40 AM, said:

Well, Panot is the one who prepared English X500 lighted ROM
Morf just "make it visible" here .

stehnak, on Feb 13 2008, 11:04 AM, said:

OK Thanks !!
I hope he will be able to do this FRENCH version of "lighted rom" ....

Thank you for the ROM, it looks good.

Good news
Thank you MORF and PANOT

A FRENCH Rom is a good idea ^^.

Is it possible to upgrade the OS version? (like on all ROM of XDA)

maybe this upgrade can resolve many bugs (or not).

Please also add a german version. THX

Hi panot

Could you share how you removed Windows Live Messenger? Which files did you remove?

I didn't do so much changes but the ROM is faster and stable. I removed almoast the all Eten CABs and also some unnecessary things inside the ROM. The big advantage is SD, SDHC patch inside the ROM. Also call delay is gone. I can do the same ROM in French or German if you want. I only need French and German temp.bin or the whole installation. French I'm drawing at the moment. Tomorrow it could be out.

To tariqbamadhaj: You have to extract temp.bin renamed to temp.dat in tools folder named "etenROMimgfs". Then in DUMP folder you will see ROM files. Remove all folders with the name started WLM..... and all files with the same name. Then repack it. That's it.

Is this ROM applicable for X500+ also?

lmcjipa, on Feb 13 2008, 09:25 PM, said:

I don't think so because it comes from the X500 firmware and not X500+ !!!

lmcjipa, on Feb 13 2008, 07:25 PM, said:

NOT, It is not compactible.

For French: See the post 3

panot, on Feb 13 2008, 01:01 AM, said:

SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My MicroSD card is too old and doesn't work with this cab ... !!!!!!!!!

So i can't have a light X500 ROM

panot, on Feb 13 2008, 09:18 PM, said:

BIG THANKS to you.

installing it now

CyberWarrior, on Feb 13 2008, 10:29 PM, said:

Wait 15 min.

panot, on Feb 14 2008, 12:05 AM, said:

Please make a version without the SDHC patch... At the time x500 first came in greece, everybody bought some shitty twinmos 1gb microSDs cause they only costed 10 euros at the time (2gb was 50 euros), and they dont work with the patch...
thanks in advance

damn,

after upgrading device doesn't boot. (white screen of death)

hope i can buy a microsd card and a cardreader tomorrow.

dont't know if something is wrong with your rom or if it's just unlucky.

greetings

panot, on Feb 13 2008, 01:01 AM, said:

YOU'RE THE BOSS !!!!

I will download this and tell you what's going on !!

THANK YOU so much !!

glofiish_x500, on Feb 13 2008, 11:39 PM, said:

Don't worry, just repeat the procedure. My English ROM is good because I have it at my device. In German ROM, there could be some mistake but I did the exact replica from English ROM. It is safe way to upgrade your device, more safer than with the PC utility. I flashed my device 20 times. It is important to follow written instruction exactly. You have to press buttons exactly. On the first time of my upgrade I didn't put back the back cover and nothing happens with my device. No new ROM, no old ROM. I was scared like you. Just repeat procedure. Important is formatting card before you will start to upgrade. Good luck!

The french Rom for old SDMMC is working very well !!!

Thank you ...

But (there is always a "but" ...) i have try to install "PREI_BKUPRSTO.3.2.ALLLAN.CAB" to have a free backup system but it says to me "I have to install the program on a e-ten phone" ...

X500 is an E-Ten phone so i don't understand ... ??

Other thing , i don't know what cab is for the "profile manager" , you know this program to tell 4 differents profiles ...

Thank you !!!!! (very very much for the ROM)

CyberWarrior, on Feb 14 2008, 01:56 AM, said:

Old or new driver for SDMMC cards (there are changed only two files). It is the same ROM. Backup utillity from Eten is bad. Try to other software for full backup. Profile manager is a part of the phone apps. It was removed. Phone apps from Eten caused phone delay, slow device etc.

panot, on Feb 14 2008, 02:16 PM, said:

OK !!!

Thank you for this rom ... i'm gonna try another backup system ... ;-)

tody i bought a cardreader and a non-sdhc card.

updating again with your german rom endet in the same effect: white screen of death.

updating agein with the official wm6 german brought my x500 back to life

SO I CANT RECOMMENT WM6 GERMAN LIGHT !!!!!

but thanks for your work, maybe you can try it again, i will test ist ;-)

greetings

glofiish_x500, on Feb 14 2008, 06:47 PM, said:

Sorry if there is something wrong. I cannot test it. I can test only English ROM. English and French is good because I received feedback. Anybody has the same problem like glofiish_x500 with the German ROM? Anybody flashed it succesfuly?

At the moment I'm developing some changes and maybe I will be succesful. At the English ROM of course.

New changes:
- I got rid of the annoying "Turn on wifi".
- Wireless manager is now hidden under "E" icon.
- Wireless manager icon removed from the right bottom corner
- new Wireless manager icon at the Start/settings/connections
- New calculator skin
- New task manager at the right bottom corner (you can remove it and leave the under line clear. Later you can install it again)
- Phone service shows current network name correctly

I guess it is all

This is awesome. Do let us know when you have completed this version. And maybe you might want to consider having version numbers for your files so it's easier to keep track of the revisions. Just a suggestion

tariqbamadhaj, on Feb 14 2008, 10:10 PM, said:

Yes, your suggestion is good. I will write a version number of the ROM.

Did you update the german version, too?

thank you very much,

french version work very fine !!! SDHC card 8GB is OK, yeahhhhhh

super !!!

Question : What version do you install windows live messenger and skype?

And the sdcard or internal memory?

I've to confirm the white screen of death in german sdhc version :/

dude, on Feb 15 2008, 12:21 AM, said:

OK, I removed German version. Maybe some mistake. I cannot test it. Install English or French versions, they are good. Sorry. I will look at it.

I can't install english version since my device denies flashing a different rom. Well, my device was originaly english

dude, on Feb 15 2008, 12:40 AM, said:

I have found my mistake. One important file was missing in German ROM. I will upload it again to Rapidshare.

pivert, on Feb 15 2008, 12:18 AM, said:

I'm using only Skype, ver. 2.2 beta so that I removed Messenger. It works very vell. My installation folder for all program is on the SDHC card.

Version : 2.2.0.37Date de diffusion : November 7, 2007 ???

are you link ?

pivert, on Feb 15 2008, 01:17 AM, said:

Yes. There is your link:
http://rapidshare.co...cketPC_Beta.CAB

Thank you very much, on the other hand Skype works only on the speakerphone is not possible to have sound in a telephone call to not only hear the other?

I have yet skype receiver activated switch in the options sound)

German version corrected yesterday and it was changed at my 3rd post.

Thanks very much,
We finaly have some one capable of making new Rom.
As I am french to, I'm waiting for the version 2 in French

So thanks for creating new rom, on our old phones and THANK YOU so much for making other language

I'm looking forward for the 2nd Version of german ROM. Sounds very promisingly...

theduke, on Feb 15 2008, 09:56 AM, said:

With pleasure but there is some problem with the ROM developing. I'm using my device like a phone and every changes I need to test and flash my device. Nobody can call me at this moment. It takes me up so much time. I will try to make a French and German versions too but I cannot test it. There is no problem. If some mistake appears (like in the German ROM), you can flash your device with the English ROM, which I'm using (good tested), until I correct it. This weekend I will be out of my home. Next week I will try to make it.

pivert, on Feb 15 2008, 09:09 AM, said:

This CAB is able to make the switch what you want. Don't forget to swith it back after using skype.

http://rapidshare.co...kype_Switch.cab

panot, on Feb 15 2008, 10:37 AM, said:

It is not working, else it is the same switch that skype receiver installed in the ROM, its fate still not the speaker back ... I believe the version of skype included in the ROM of 436 eten functioned but I find it not ...

pivert, on Feb 15 2008, 11:20 AM, said:

It works! Tested! Just run the Switch at Start/Programs and switch berven earpiece and speaker. Skype originaly installed like a CAB in official ROM release is not better. It is the same like beta version but beta has more features. You can see your status on your screen.

Excuse me I confused the switch within the parameters of sound and one that is in this program, it actually works very well.

This beta version is skype: 2.2.0.18

The new version on the site is skype: 2.2.0.37

Is it not more interesting to use 2.2.0.37?
Except, of course, if there is a reason not to install this latest version.


Thank you
---------------

Update : So I tested the switch to the new version: it is not working skype get stuck on the starting page.

----------
Update 2 : Why leave the "Skype Receiver Switch" eten included in the rom? It does not work!

If you want to use the sound without being disturbed should be included in the ROM patch "Skype_Switch.cab" panot to put online to post # 45 and older need the "Skype Receiver Switch" eten!

If i try to flash your english image version 2 on my device (originaly a english or WWE device with german wm6 on it), I get "OS Image is NOT compatible with this hardware".
How to circumvent this?

when is the v2 old sd WWE coming?

Panot when do you put online V2 in French?

thank you very much

Tried the WWE version with a sandisk 2gb memory card, and I had to use the old driver. So far, it´s working flawlessly.
I´m eargerly looking forward to the next update; keep up the good work.

Finaly someone started to make own versions of wm6. Next step is WM 6.1 and some need to have apps and bud fixes ala XDA style!

Keep it up!

To pivert: You are right. Skype Receiver Switch doesn't work, I will remove it from nex ROM update. New version Skype 2.2.0.37 doesn't work as well. I'm using 2.2.0.18.

To Dude: ROM update is on the base official releases ENG, FRE, GER. Maybe you have to use GER version only.

To kourampies: v2 old is very easy to change driver inside. Just unpack, change two files and pack. I will try it to do this weekend.

To pivert: French and German I try it to do next week. I'm preparing for my exam at University. I need some preparation for it.

To Mat ov: Thanks

To Mautana: It is very difficult to change OS to WM 6.1. I am able to cooking on the official release base but not to make it. You have to ask Eten about it

panot, on Feb 15 2008, 05:44 PM, said:

i never done that before and i dont have any free time, so i ll wait for whenever you have the time. thanks

One can circumvent the language-lock by simply flashing using usb connection and windows xp.
So I was able to flash the english version again. But, unfortunately I could not reinstall my sprite-backup on the english rom. My device died after restore so I switched back to my original german wm6. I'll try this again with a version-two german image as soon as you'll cook it

I wish you success for your exam!

Best of luck for your exams. I shall wait for the other versions of French and German before I upload it to my server.

tariqbamadhaj, on Feb 15 2008, 11:37 PM, said:

Ten minutes and French ver. 2 will be released. I need somebody to test it.

Tomorrow I will release German and English for non SDHC cards.

is ther no way to do this without having cardreader? >.< i dont have a cardreader dont want to buy one either
but i do want this

Hello

I am really interested by this ligth version...
But I use live messenger...
So here is my question:
Is there a way to install it after
Or is there a light version... but with the messenger.

If there is a nice alternate to the live messenger (i dont find it very nice so I'm ready to change to something else).

Regards

Gabriel

French version 2 is not working at boot there is a blank screen ... Too bad for me ....

Gabriel Vey, on Feb 16 2008, 03:17 AM, said:

I can put live messenger back in the next version, it is easy. I can see that there is more such users.

pivert, on Feb 16 2008, 03:25 AM, said:

Really? The ver. 1 was correct? Did you have properly formated your SD card? You can flash only from SD card not from SDHC. Bootloader of your device is not able to read SDHC. Every upgrade you have to do with SD card only. Bootloader is able to read to 2GB only. It is important! I will look at it what is wrong. It is a little bit complicated to make foreign ROM without testing. Sorry!

BTW try to formate your card again. It is really important to have freshly formated card into FAT16. Each flashing you must have a properly formated card!!!

Gnagis, on Feb 16 2008, 01:39 AM, said:

You can flash your device going the "old" way: Download this unlocked Windows flash utility to find somewhere here in this forum. It's simple and much faster than flashing using sd card.
There should be a guide how to flash using windows.

Yes, I tried to format FAT16, but it's the same: white screen.

I also tried using the UnLock_upgrade and renaming the file. Dat, but it is the same: white screen.

I am sure to be right.

Pending a corrected version v2 French would me put the English version 2 works with the procedure through windows unlock_upgrade

I put in the v1 with french unlock_upgrade because the dictionary for SMS I needed in french, v2 English works well but not in my language dictionary ....

panot, on Feb 16 2008, 09:58 AM, said:

It would be great !
By the way I'm french... so if you can do it in a french rom?
But maybe it would be easyer for you to have a separated install... so users can choose what to install... or not.

Anyway, thanks for your work. It is really appreciated.

Gabriel

CyberWarrior, on Feb 14 2008, 01:56 AM, said:

I have found Glofiish Scenarios for you with the profiles what you need. Enjoy!
http://rapidshare.co...h_Scenarios.CAB

works perfectly, flashed with the old way (unlock upgrade via usb) in less than 5 minutes.

EXCELLENT!!!

Thanks panot...
Finaly I could have WM6 without the stupid WLM that merge the contacts...

This is the best work ever done for Glofiish

Why Eten didn't did it? Are they waiting for what?

Once more... Many thanks

flashed v2 german today, again white screen.

you did something wrong in the german rom.

greetings

carval2k, on Feb 16 2008, 08:58 PM, said:

Which language and version you flashed? I'm happy that somebody is satisfied

glofiish_x500, on Feb 16 2008, 09:15 PM, said:

I try to do cook it again from the base. I don't know where is the mistake. Sorry again. I know that English is correct.

panot, on Feb 17 2008, 12:10 AM, said:

WWE Version seems to be working great! I can only agree with the previous person. Best thing ever done for the Glofiish. Now we need to get a big ZIP file with all small free apps that is useful for our mobiles!

WWE must be ok because I haven't other version in my Glofiish. It works great.

I think you have revolutionized the x500 LOVELY WORK!

panot, on Feb 16 2008, 09:10 PM, said:

I flash with english version 2 for old nonSDHC...

Again... Many thanks!

By the way, I don't if it's from my USB cable, but since the upgrade the PC connection via ActiveSync some times looses connectivity and after some seconds it connects again...

Best work ever done. My X500 is much faster now. Thanks

I tried to revise the French ROM from the base and some new features added. I need someone to test it. If it failed I will do next ROM corrections only in English which I can testing. If it will be functional I wil revise also German. French friends can download it on the first post.

To carval2k: I didn't any changes with the connectivity. I have no problem with this. I'm using Win Vista.

This should be a sticky ffs
Good job lads

Panot,

This looks like great work. The only eTen apps I uase are the orange dialer skin for my large fingers and the GSP Satelite update. Are both of those in the new ROM?

Thanks again for your work and for sharing this.

Doug M.

hi, im new with all this upgrade. just want to ask, in wm5 we cannot use mp3 as our ringtone without using other software such as mring. if i upgrade to wm6, can i use mp3 as ringtone without using any other 3rd party software? why is this is not implement in the cooked rom? maybe the master here, mr panot can give a try to combine the 3rd party application to be use in the wm6, that will be a much big different in ur cooked version sir. sorry if im wrong.. just newbies here

French V2.5 is not working
Hello,

Everything works well in the french rom 2.5, but the big problem is that we can not use the phone to call or receive because there is no network, it is impossible to activate the GSM network, not access manager wireless / mobile phone

There is no access with activesync, and windows responds usb not recognized

So that version 2.5 is unusable.

And I said that I did not manage to flash the rom with the SD card, it said to me, 'SDMMC load Fail ", I do so with the application windows unlock_ upgrade

update : I just see that the file is temp.dat the v2.5, I renamed to temp.bin, I will try to flash via SD card I told you in a moment, if everything works

update 2 : Still no access to the GSM network, therefore impossible to use the telephone. I returned to French V1

pivert, on Feb 17 2008, 03:44 PM, said:

Thanks Pivert. With the phone network I can correct it. I tried something but I cannot test it. Maybe it failed. When I packed the temp file, I forgot to renamed to temp.bin. Today I will change the RilGSM file to make phone working. I think that after that everithing works fine. Did you find any other bug? Thanks Pivert for testing.

dwemackay, on Feb 17 2008, 02:33 PM, said:

In the French ROM I put back the orange skin. It possible to put it back to the English version too. Just wait to version 2.5 in English.

Satellite update is still in each of my ROMs.

benjy, on Feb 17 2008, 03:31 PM, said:

I will look at possibilities to make it. Eten has a application "Add ringtone" which can be installed separately I think. I remove it from the ROM.

http://rapidshare.co...AddRingtone.CAB

Thank you Panot for your rom.^^

I have a problem.I install your rom lighted V2.0 already.But In context menu in Contacts have two blank item.

How do I fix it?

North..., on Feb 17 2008, 06:53 PM, said:

To North..: In which menu? Write exactly for example (Start/Programs/... etc.). What names are have these items? Have you used some language localization? I have no blank items what are you writing about.

To Pivert: In some seconds I will release corrected FRE version for SDHC and nonSDHC with corrected bug with the phone net. Then the same in English.

Menu in

Contacts > Menu

Then press Menu the context have

Send Contact
Copy Contact
** blank **
** blank **
Delete Contact

Anyone managed to get MMS working after installing any of these ROMs? I've tried mms.cab for the M700 with no luck as the settings aren't available. Can't find one specifically for the X500.

What page pool in this Rom?

panot, on Feb 17 2008, 07:20 PM, said:

Panot When you made the upgrades you can write down the exact time of release for next day in addition to date ...

In v2.5 french he also had the bug in the syncro USB synch with activ which is not, windows xp do not recognize the usb drivers of the eten (USB driver in the ROM)

North..., on Feb 18 2008, 01:26 AM, said:

I forget I use V2.0 English.

pivert, on Feb 17 2008, 07:53 PM, said:

OK, time will be added. About USB it is strange because there are no changes in my ROM

To North....: Yes, I have these places blank too. I don't remember what there were. Maybe some features of Eten apps which were removed.

Thank you very much panot !!! everything works fine now with the new french version 2.5

Could you put in the next day to add in the ROM skype switch and scénarions Eten

Quote

How did you do that?

dude, on Feb 17 2008, 09:44 PM, said:

It is my secrecy . I think it is great to make wireless manager to work like that.

I mean, was it some kind of registry hack? I'd like to make this by my own on my german rom to get rid of this broken behavior....

Panot you could make us a tutorial for dévelloper its own ROM as you done so well so that there will have a large community ETEN as is the case with HTC?

Could you replace the windows explorer by total commander, which is better?

err.. anywhere i can get call filter..?

Hi,

Many thanks
SPB is NOT a free software and as the name of your Rom, I think that is best to not put back to many app.
Is better and esay for us and you to make a File with our bets APP or link to the web site.
For the explorer, I found it not to bad and I found good to keep it even if I have commander as well

A good Rom, is a Stable and fast Rom such as your first version

I think the same thing, it's better to do as a ROM version 1 through optimization and captivating bugs or passing WM 6.1 and let people put what they want in ROM

Panot: What is the name of the application in the Task Manager 2.5 rom?

I think it should be left that the V1 and make a detailed list of links for each application (for example, task manager ... etc)

Thank you for your Rom
I wait fix the issue of MMS setting and the blank menu in Contacts.

To Dude: This feature with Wireless manager is taken from X600 ROM

To pivert: We are creating a good X500 community in this thread. I like it . Total Commander is better, I will try to implement it. I agree that to much applicatipn in the ROM isn't so good. It is better everybody to install what is needed.

To benjy: I don't know if call filter is possible. I had to remove Eten phone application which did unstability of our device and slowed down it's speed.

To theduke: This spb apps it taken from X600 ROM too. This is not a full version and there is no need to activate it. ROM is faster when I removed Quick Link I think.

To North..: To fix MMS settings use MMS.cab. With blank part in contacts menu it will be bad. I don't remember what there were and I have no idea how to fix it.

bro pinot, i manage to find call filter but dunno how to saperate it from scenario application and sms sender.. it is in PREI_EtMergeEx_ENG.CAB

Thank you for your Rom panot

*gggg* I am waiting for the german version of 2.5.... Please! thanx

??

thx tom

German is out .

You can try Russin tool but nobody knows result .

hi, tried it out but i am asked for an activation code??? where can i get this one? i recently updated to wm6 ger 436 but i did not write down the activation key???

when you are asked for the activiation code, just press and hold the standby and record button, reset the device and release the buttons when you are in bootloader mode.

hi, worked great, performance ist great --> panot --> guru
works also with the "russian tool"


best regards tom

Hi

Thanxx for the good work Panot

got 2 requests ,,


1- how could u manage to remove the call delay? can we use it in un-modified ROM? can u explain how u do it plz cause its really important.


2- i couldnt download any one of ur roms as u uploaded all in the frastrating RapidShare, which never work for me and for many ppl coz i have shared ip...

so can u plz upload the english roms in othersites? MegaUpload for example !!!!!!!
at least upload the first and the last english rom...



it will be really appreciated to answer my request... THANXX in advance

HI to all,

Something more to add to the features!

I had a terrible ECHO to the other side on the phone, from the first day and after one year of searching and trying everything, AT LAST NO MORE ECHO.

I flashed the lighted ROM ENG v.2 SDHC and it works great!

Thank you panot !!!

I have a echo.I use office rom.

What GSM/GPRS version in panot Eng v2.?

see in Settings > System Information > Wireless.. > GSM > Firmware & Driver

Please tell me.

German 2.5 works!!

but found a mistake: camera application is not working.

greetings

Very nice. I flashed my device with your latest german light image after I decreased page pool size from 8 to 6MB. After first boot my device has about 34.xMB free ram.

@glofiish_x500: camera application works great.

Oh Sorry, I flashed wrong image. Camera is broken.

Any chance to get lighted ROM for X500+ too?

Thx

Carlos

Here is the information:



Firmware Version:en7n_v7_pda_20070110_RS00022

Driver Version:0701, 2330



But I think the problem is not firmware related, more like memory allocation issue or CPU priority or load.



Any way for two days now, there is no Echo and the ear phone volume is much to louder. (can you imagine, I even lower it down).



If you try it, please return your comments.



Tasos.

To Qal3awy: Call delay I removed when I removed Eten phone apps from ExtROM and changed RilGSM file inside ROM. I know that Rapidshare isn't sou good for multiple downloading but I have there Collector's-Zone where I can see what I gave for sharing. I'm making too much versions and it takes me up much time. Just wait an hour and download from Rapidshare again. In the next time I will try to upload to other places too .

To Tasos Greece: Echo is problem which is not solved even by Eten .

To North...: There is only change vith GSM. I changed RilGSM file in my ROM. Which version it is I don't know but it doesn't matter.

To Glofiish_X500: Problem with the camera? It is strange, I didn't any changes with the camera. Maybe I romoved some file by mislake. Is there anybody who was camera working in German version?

To Warmbooter: Yes, there is big chance if somebody will make it . I can try it make also but it depends on my free time.

This ROM is spectacular, what a great job. THANKS!

I used english v2.5. I removed the SPB mobile shell because I use SPB pocket plus, and there is no need for both. One question about skype switch - I loded the CAB you linked above, and the box is now checked but geyed out, so not possible to change (uncheck) it. Do you really run everything including skype from installation directory on the SDHC card? I thought I did that one time & skype wasn't happy on the card.

kvernick, on Feb 19 2008, 10:37 AM, said:

Skype switch work nice. There are only two big buttons to change your sound to earphone or reproductor. Nothing more. Skype is running from SDHC card great. I'm using it like that.

Hello

I think this thread must be pinned by administrators as it is very usefull.

Many thanks to pannot and his fantastic work on this ROM.
Thanks to him, I have now a WM6 device with all unnecessary stuff removed.

panot, on Feb 19 2008, 10:13 AM, said:

I've had this problem, too. After trying to start camera application (button at the side or by clicking on the exe in windows directory) windows says something about missing certificate.

panot, on Feb 19 2008, 12:13 PM, said:

thanxx answering my questions, but....

can we get more info about ramoving the call delay? and how to do it in other roms myself

its really very important...... it may be the most important feature for the roms....

so i hope u can do some fast explination for the steps and files needed ( i dont know what is "RilGSM" )

its more important than making new version of the roms , coz every body have his preferences in which programs to keep in their ppc, but all need to remove the call dalay


THANXX AGAIN


note: about the rapidshare issue, if it was just waiting few hours it wont be a problem for me, but i cant download at all, coz rapidshare hates shared IP,,

thanx benjy for shring the links

Qal3awy`, on Feb 19 2008, 12:08 PM, said:

I don't know how big are your skills in making ROMs. If you will unpack X500 ROM in "etenROMimgfs" tool, tool you can see many files and folder. Just remove folder with the name "rilgsmAKU3.dll" and replace only with new file with the same name "rilgsmAKU3.dll". The file you can find in my latest X500 ROM.

dude, on Feb 19 2008, 11:47 AM, said:

I found one file missing in camera apps. Corrected and I hope it helps . You can download and try it.

panot, on Feb 19 2008, 11:13 AM, said:

It would be really cool if you can do it ;-) Or maybe post a tutorial to teach other people on how to do that If you decide to build the ROM for X500+, I can help testing it. Also, I can help on deciding would be better to leave in the rom, or removed (of course, based on my personal taste) ;-).

Good evening Panot and the forum .
Excuse my english I am French.
I have well flashed my X500 with V 1. But when I want flashed with V 2.5, all it passed well, but at the end, the flashing will begin all alone and was stop to 1400000. I remove the battery, and reinsert it.
But since, my screen is black and the LED of Power bouton is red if I press on the Power button.
I repeat the process but nothing
How to make for restart my X500.
Thank you for your assistance.


Bonsoir Panot et le forum

J'ai bien flasher mon X500 avec la V1.
Quand j'ai voulu flasher avec la V 2.5, tout c'est bien passé, mais à la fin, le flashage à recommer tout seul et s'est arrèté à 1400000.
J'ai retiré le batterie, et l'ai remise.
Mais depuis, mon écran est noir et le LED de charge clignote rouge si j'appuis sur le bouton Power.
J'ai essayer de refaire le process, mais il ne ce passe rien
Comment faire pour redemarer mon X500.
Merci de votre aide .

I tried todays german release and everything seems to work perfekt. Camera bug is gone.
Thanks for doing this nice release!

cjk95, on Feb 19 2008, 03:04 PM, said:

Format your card into FAT16, upload temp.bin and USBDLUpdate_Console again and reflash your device again. If you press wrong buttons or nothing happens just repeat the process. You have to charge your device to have full batery.

There are lots of French to help you if everything fails.

panot, on Feb 19 2008, 03:37 PM, said:

Help
I format my card, upload temp.bin and USBDLUpdate_Console again and reflash my device again.
My batery is full
But always nothing. just The LED red flash when I press the power button.

Thank Panot
I d'ont know why, but my device as restart and it's very good.
Thank you

cjk95, on Feb 19 2008, 08:28 PM, said:

Have you solved your problem? In some part of update process your device waits some seconds to continue.

Who have the fix of MMS setup?
Please upload for update fix the panot Rom.

Thank you.

North..., on Feb 19 2008, 10:19 PM, said:

See the 3rd post under link "Caution", there is MMS.cab

panot, on Feb 19 2008, 10:19 PM, said:

Yes all is correst and work fine. Thank you

That patch MMS.cab not work.Can't solve my problem of MMS in Contacts menu.

unfortunately i have a problem with MMS too.

I installed MMS.cab but it's not enough. I cannot access the settings so put in the gateway, server etc.

Also when i tap on new MMS nothing happens!

can we fix this please?

panot, on Feb 12 2008, 11:01 PM, said:

Hello Panot

I have réinstalled the V 2.5 FR.All is OK, but when I see "Errase all data" I release the Hangup
button and press and hold Left Softkey.
The popup stay on "NO" is it correct ? The device reboot after 10 or 15 seconds.
Mémory is:
Storage : 48.58 Mo
Program : 31.71 Mo

Good Work Panot!
Downloaded and flashed v.2.5wwe. Works like a charm.
Noticed as well the 2 missing menu option in contacts.
You actually transformed an X500 into an X600 by transplanting core apps from an X600!

Removing that Phoneservice2.0,QuickLink,and some other cabs made the device perform much faster.
Didn't run a benchmark utility yet but i will soon cause now i'm @work!

Keep Up the good work mate!

I am also very satisfied with this "Light" ROM (WWE). I only have one problem.

On the right top, the time-icon is changed to a battery-icon. Is it possible to change it back?

To North... and 3zero2: You are right, there is some problem with MMS menu. I will look at it.

To cjk95: By pressing and holding left soft key, you shoud see in popup "YES". Maybe you pressed right soft key.

To x500wm5: The 2 missing menu option in contacts menu I saw also but I don't remember what there were. Maybe some application what I removed.

To Jan R: On the right top, the time-icon and battery-icon were changed to default. It is possible to change it back by installing Eten apps which I removed . This is default settings and I think that it is not so major problem. According to me it looks like better.

panot, on Feb 20 2008, 02:48 PM, said:

I have to agree with Panot regarding the battery icon it looks better,but if u want the battery meter from ETEN you have to download,unzip,copy and install to your device the cab attached...PREI_BATTERYMETER.zip
Enjoy!

panot, on Feb 20 2008, 01:48 PM, said:

Panot
I have an other time install V2.5 FR
I have well press "YES" in popup, but popup stay on "NO"

This time Memory is:
Storage: 48.07 Mo
Program :31.15 Mo

What is the better for mémory

cjk95, on Feb 20 2008, 03:05 PM, said:

You have to press and HOLD! the left hardware buton (you have two buttons below-press and hold left). Memory is good.

North..., on Feb 20 2008, 08:27 AM, said:

Maybe I solved MMS bug, I'm testing it at the moment.

panot, on Feb 20 2008, 04:06 PM, said:

I have tested and hold software button "YES" and hardware button (the green) the same résult :
popup stay on "NO"
If the mémory is good, no problème and thank you again

cjk95, on Feb 20 2008, 04:55 PM, said:

Strange

I corrected two bugs (MMS and blank place in contact menu) Nice looking SMS option added. English ver. 2.6 in my 3rd post. Also look at the Internet Explorer, there is changed the banner (From Microsoft to ETEN Users Forum)

panot, on Feb 20 2008, 05:24 PM, said:

Are other rom touched by this MMS issue ? (french ?)
Are you going to release a 2.6 version in other languages ?

Gabriel Vey, on Feb 20 2008, 06:18 PM, said:

Ok... I just checked the 3rd post and you have already published all versions at once.
As usual I'm impressed by you work.

Regards
Gabriel

Gabriel Vey, on Feb 20 2008, 06:20 PM, said:

Hi Gabi, I'm usualy impressed by your interest . I don't know if other versions were with the same bug like English. If not, there is no big reason to upgrade but sms looks very nice. Bigger photo and nice backgroung.

Hello Pannot

I have tried the version 2.6 with WLM.
This version of WLM is very buggy:
- Connexion is done thru EDGE/GPRS even is wifi is available

So I revert to install a french version without WLM and install an independant english version of WLM.
Thank you for your job. I was not aware that the version of WLM included in the orignal ROM was not functional.


Gabriel

panot, on Feb 20 2008, 06:24 PM, said:

Downloaded v2.6 wwe and updating now...
Will post again when i complete my setup and make sure everything is working properly!
Panot, keep up the good work mate!

Just updated to French v2.6 with WLM.

Works GREAT ! Faster than ever. I love Spb and the Task Manager.

It is just perfect. Finally I can see someone updating this ROM. I was almost going to buy a HTC just for that.
You saved me 500$ !

Thank you very much again for your work, and cannot wait to see other updates =)

thanks panot....this is awesome work

hi, a question: where can i find the rilgsm.log file? i have the problem that i sometimes cannot make a call, it dials but suddenly a short beep and the connection is lost (during the dial). perhaps the logfile makes some sence


best regards
tom

To Gabriel Vey: It is strange because as you can see, Scotchy49 has no bugs. It is the same version. and there are only some improvements no other changes. I'm using skype and it works properly via wifi.

To Scotchy49: It is great that you are satisfied. If I safed you so much money, you can donate me at least by half . To this time nobody has appreciated my work like that. It is a joke of course, it is free and it depends on everybody how to appreciate my efforts.

To x500wm5: In WWE version I haven't found any bugs to this time.

To 3zero2: With pleasure and thanks that you appreciate this.

To themall: I have no problem with the signal, which version do you have? Where is the log file I don't know, try to search.

To all: My device is now really fast, even faster like never before. If you find any bug, write about it immediately. I know that almoast each of you has different demands on his device so that I don't want putting so much software inside.

BTW today in the morning I passed my exam at my University so that I'm happy from that

One more question for all. Do you have still echo during the call? I told some people and they answered me that I haven't.

panot, on Feb 21 2008, 12:54 PM, said:

I have asked the people I had on the line.
They told me that they dont have the echo any longer.
They are very pleased .
About the issues with 2.6 french...
The only issue is with WLM
it seems that this version is very buggy... and the 'live update' fixes most of them.
So I prefer to use the version without the WLM... and install the live update that adds WLM... in english.
Sorry to have bothered you with a version of the ROM with WLM.

Thanks again.
And my gf also thanks you... she no longer have to listen to my echoed voice on the phone !

Regards
Gabriel

panot, on Feb 21 2008, 01:41 PM, said:

Panot, i'm really happy u passed ur exams! What was the exam about?

Btw i've been using your new ver. 2.6 since this morning and it seems that i i didnt face the echo effect hopefully yet!
I must say this ver. 2.6wwe seems to be really reliable with any software configuration and combination unless an app is buggy...

Panot listen, i've been using Destinator 7 and my basic configuration before using ur rom was: Hard Reset without any ETEN PREI apps at all,just clean windows installation with 6mb pool size and deleting all PREI apps form windows folder(12mb Hehe!).Then i had to install manually the following: HTC SDHC patch (from Kingston512microSD FAT16 so that my SANDISK 4gb SDHC would be recognized.After that, from ETEN PREI apps only Etmergex(in this cab there is also PhoneService2.0 and this was one reason out of this cab making my device perform slower),Gpsviewer,Satellite Data Update and battery patch.And the rest for an HTC Touch look,HTC Home,HTC Task Manager,HTC Today Theme (Grey) wm5torage,pocket mechanic,sktools.

Destinator performance was kind of better than sluggish and slow.Medium is the word.I was pleased that SirfIII GPS and Destinator 7 were working together.
Since i tried ur 2.5wwe which obviously didn't have etmergex = PhoneService2.0 Destinator performance was better than best! Speech and Graphics movement as close as realtime!

So because i didn't have the time to cook a rom with my prefered apps due to family and work obligations it is needless to say that this was a pain in the A*S every time that i had to hard reset the device!

So Panot a BIG THANK YOU for ur effort to making this Fast and Stable ROM!

err.. is anyone face this problem or it just me? when im sending sms, ther will be a msg saying "Cannot recognize one or more recipients or the address is not valid. Would you like to send the messege anyway?". Othe sms still sent if i choose yes, but it quite anoying to reconfirm everytime i want to sent sms.

fiy, im using my phone book that i have use in wm5. im not using active sync to reload it, just copy back my pim.vol from my backup.

other than that, not found any problem with wwe v2.6 and of coz i feel more faster. big thanks to panot for this great rom

benjy, on Feb 21 2008, 03:44 PM, said:

DON'T copy directly pim from wm5 to wm6!!!! Thats why you have this problem and more to come!
To fix this u have to install wm5,load the pim file u copied and then ONLY with a pim backup utility ONLY you can have your contacts/messages from wm5 to wm6 and vice versa.Try using PPCPimBackup that is the one im using so far and it's great backup utility!

Cheers and good luck!

Hello guys!

Benjy, I have no problem with SMS. I your case it is caused by 3rd party software. Don't use so much software to make your device unstable.

Gabi, I will make you a version without WLM like usually. Don't worry about WLM, I love helping to everyone.

x500wm5 at this time you could rename your login to x500wm6Panot . I took my exam from Andragogy.

Are you happy with the new SMS face?

I'm happy that echo has gone but I don't know how I made it . Maybe removing or changing some parts of the ROM.

ROM is really fast, by the way it was my intention.

x500wm5, on Feb 21 2008, 03:58 PM, said:

owh i see.. noted.. will try reloading my pim backup. thanks dude

pinot@
err.. im not yet installed any 3rd party apps.. just using the one previously installed in my memory card like opera and im+

need help here.. i cant connect my x500 through active sync.. already delete all previous profile..so what else to do? also just do hard reset

nevermind.. just change other usb port and device can be detect

benjy, on Feb 21 2008, 03:30 PM, said:

Yes, now I can see what was the problem .

panot, on Feb 21 2008, 04:08 PM, said:

x500wm6panot here

What's up mate? So you took andragogy test...its for teaching adults right?

Hey the sms face is really cool,better than the ordinary plain white screen that sometimes in the dark gives you the feelling that you have just directly looked at the sun!

Btw the echo is gone because u removed all prei apps and to be specific as i said in a previous post PREI_ETMERGEEX_ENG.CAB is the main reason for the echo...try installing this cab after you make a hard reset and you will see that this is what echo actually sounds like! This is the file that also installs scenarios,zoom sms,call filter and...PhoneService2.0!

I'll be back soon!

x500wm5, on Feb 21 2008, 04:58 PM, said:

Right, it is about upbringing, education and care about adults that's why I'm taking care about you and about others in this forum . Maybe you are right with ETphone apps. They are the source of the most problems. I recommend to download this ROM for all!!!

thanks panot for your work.

is there a way to get back mobile office?

BIG /HUGE/ ENORMOUS WARNING
or is it a notification?!


after the "call delay" feature been explained thanksfully by Panot...

i did my own small research about this....

some ppl were talking about a problem associated with it, which happend to SOME of them

apparently... some of them were sometimes getting no sound for the ringtone when recieving the calls...

and because its important issue for me as i depend my PDA as a phone and i am recieving some important calls that i cant afford to miss...

for that i tested that by calling myself from other phones... it was ringing ok and no problem at all.. ( BTW i am using V 2.5 of lighted rom)

BUT...

today i was working on my pc and my X500 was near me when i recieved a text messege "SMS"... it was from my friend , who apparently called me twice 1 min ago before sending the SMS , i saw the 2 miss call , but never heard the phone ringing.

someone else called me an hour later but it was ringing ok...

WHAT I WANT TO SAY FROM ALL THIS..

there may be some times which u recieve phone calls without sound because of the files changed to remove the "call delay"...

i am not 100% sure about it.. this is yet to be tested and confirmed by me and other members.. but i think this is true .. as i didnt heard my friends 2 calls, but i heard the sound of notification for the SMS

i really LOVED ur rom Panot, and i would like to help testing it for that issue,

but for now i think i am going to upgrade my device to an offical rom after writing this post, untile this figured out.. cause i am waiting some important calls in the morning " its night where i live "

Waiting for other members to comment in this issue...

any missed calls that found to be a real calls?

just plz guys check for each misscall u find in ur phone without hearing the ringing sound, so we can make sure of this...


soorey for writing too much

thanx again Panot..

Bye

herske, on Feb 21 2008, 07:17 PM, said:

ROM is with Mobile Office.

To Qal3awy: There are no changes with phone modul or ringings. Maybe you have some problem somewhere else. I have no missed calls, no other problems.

to panot....

from what i heard ,,, the files u are chaning for removing the call delay can cause it, dono why even if this wasnt related to ringing... lets just wait for other members, may be its rare.

as i already said... i am not really sure....

OH i forgot to say something ...

for ppl intrested.. u can use the russian tool to upgrade ur device to any of panot rom using ur pc instead of memory card

>>>> i tried it..

however..

note that to upgrade ur room using that tool, u need a device working with no problems in widows mobile...

i mean: when u miss up things or the upgrade fails for any reason..


u will cant fix it using anyway other than flushing it using memory card

>> thanx god that didnt happend to me

as tha russian tool works from "windows mobile" environment..

and when device is not working,, its not working


see u


update ::::::: (( i forget alot this days )

u need to rename "temp.bin" to "temp.dat" to use the russian tool

German v2.6 works fine. THX for the new release!

Qal3awy`, on Feb 21 2008, 10:27 PM, said:

Qal3awy,

Correct me if I'm wrong but are you using Microsoft Voice Commander? If yes then do not install it because i used to have the exact same issues with you after installation of MSvoiceCommander 1.6

Good Luck!

Panot,

Again a BIG THANK YOU! For your effort and time to this.

I noticed something last night while i was using my device,not a big issue but you could name it a minor bug for a next version.
In landscape mode if you go to messaging the new sms face,the image you used is the same for portrait, and strectches in result of not beeing able to see those nice little @@
I don't mind at all about this because for me the overall work you did for cooking this rom is more than enough!
I also wanted to ask you if its possible to post a rom which doesn't contain any 3d party or ETEN apps but keep default apps like WLM, a 'clean' WM6.
In this way we can find many answers regarding various questions we have with some software.

I'll be back soon gotta work!

Firstly, thanks for the lighted rom. Had installed the (E)v2.6 on my x500 but with 1 problem, I do not have a 'G' sign but a 'x' with 2 arrows which make my GPRS unable to work. Can someone kindly help. Thanks......Using Singtel GSM network in Singapore.

jazzzz, on Feb 22 2008, 10:22 AM, said:

I don't know jazzzz where is the problem. I have in my device G or E.

To dude: Thanks dude

To x500wm5: I can make you some version without Eten soft. WLM is here like external software. In which language would you like it? SMS background fits only for portrait mode.

WLM in English:
http://rapidshare.co...6.0034.0800.cab

Btw I managed to rename SDMMC card to Memory Card or do you have some other suggestion for it's name?

Hello,

Thanks for light ROM. But where is the A2DP patch?

Regards,

Oflu, on Feb 22 2008, 12:55 PM, said:

Hi Oflu. I can implement the patch if it is needed. I'm not using bluetooth that's why I cannot test if it works.

no i am not...

i hate it actully...

thanx anyway for commenting

panot, on Feb 22 2008, 12:29 PM, said:

Back! Hey Panot whats up? I just managed to find a couple of minutes so i paid a visit here!

Yes! if you can cook a clean wm6 rom that is great news for me!
But ofcourse your 2.6wwe fits like a glove for my needs, even if you don't have time to make that clean rom, honestly i am very happy with your latest rom...you did what i always wanted to do but unfortunately had no time. I wish you all the best.

As for WLM i didn't know that you had it like external software. That is good news also...by considering it again makes me think that it would save you time and space if you cooked all the roms you cooked without WLM and if anybody really wanted to use WLM then he/she could download the WLM cab to his/her device and install it.

As for the language i prefer wwe even though my language is greek because everything i know regarding software/hardware are in english and its difficult but not impossible for me to understand technical stuff in my own language!

And if you can rename SDMMC i have a suggestion for a new name: SDHCMMC! its the first name that came to my mind! ofcourse the reason is obvious mate! SDHC support in your rom! Tell me what you think.

Thanx!

I'll be back soon...(again!)

Thanks Panot, great work!
My x500 is much faster now. Just one thing: now when I sync with XP my wireless connection on the notebook starts to on and off. Any clue why is that? Before didn't do that.
Thanks, great work once again!!!!

Hmmm regarding the problem you are experiencing i think it needs further investigation...
Did you follow step by step Panot's guide on how to flash the device?
After flashing has completed before the device boots for the first time you HAVE to hard-reset the device.

Now quickly press and hold the red hangup button until it asks you to erase all data,when it does press and hold YES and thats it.

If you did all steps correctly then the only thing left is that maybe your device got damaged by accidentally falling down...etc. (PCB or a component on the pcb)...

x500wm5, on Feb 22 2008, 03:54 PM, said:

As I can see you are expert too. You very good explaned things about flashing. According to name of the card, problem is that MMC card dosn't match with X500 that't why name SDHCMMC seems to be bad. With the new card driver you can use misroSDHC or newer microSD cards. I guess that "Memory Card" is good or "MEMORY CARD" or only "MEMORY", "STORRAGE CARD" what do you mean? I appreciate suggestion from others too!

To x500wm5: In 3rd post there is your clean WWE Panot ver. 2.6 with no cabs in ExtROM

hehe.. hi all..

well.. how about Xmmc for the card name.. just my 2 cent.. erm.. today im playing with the sktool and suddently i came across the today plugin check. sktool found 1 error.. voipphonecanvas.dll is not available. so i do some surfing and manage to know that the file is use with voip (that's what im thinking when see the name) as what i remember seeing a SIP manager, but dunno where, maybe before in my eten or in my brother htc vox, but that doesn'e matter. one thing to ask now.. is our eten x500 support voip? i just install 1 cab i found, now in my setting->phone, i got internet tab that got internet calling setting in it. i dont know how to test it. just incase any other guys know what it for or how to use it.. take a look at this link for the files needed. click here

how someone or our bro pinot can give some hint to me.. thanks in advance.

benjy, on Feb 23 2008, 01:10 PM, said:

Good idea benjy, I will look at it. I have also some idea to improve our ROM.

Yes, voip was disabled by eten tho' it is or originaly was integrated into wm6 by ms itself. So it would by nice idea to integrate it back to our light-rom. But using viop you still have the problem with the speaker: it uses the external only if you not plug in the headset. sadly the skype speaker switch does not work here...

jazzzz, on Feb 22 2008, 10:22 AM, said:

I have the same problem with the 2.6 rom.

i use the following method to get a clean installation using the official wm6 rom.



1. Perform a hard reset. (You can do so from Start Menu-->Programs-->Utilities-->Default Settings)


2. Go through the routine Windows Mobile Setup procedures.


3. The moment you reach the screen saying "Installing....", get ready to perform a soft-reset (DO NOT SOFT-RESET YET!)
Critical system files and MMS settings are being installed at this point, so do not interrupt the process.

4. The moment you see words on the screen change to something like "Installing applications (1/XX)", PERFORM A SOFT RESET NOW.
XX represent the total number of bundled applications to be installed. The soft-reset prevents the installation of the bundled application.

5. Upon soft-reset, and having waited for the system to load, you will come back to the same "Install screen". The moment you see the screen displaying a countdown starting from "3", PRESS AND HOLD THE CAMERA BUTTON.
By holding the camera button, you are essentially forcing the glofiish to permanently skip the preloading of the ETEN bundled application.

6. Go to Start Menu-->Programs-->File Explorer. Once inside the program, goto My Device/Windows folder. Locate and delete all files beginning with "PREI". The "PREI" files are the installers for the ETEN bundled applications. Even after deleting these files, you can still install the ETEN applications from Application Recovery tool. You free up around 10MB of internal storage space by deleting the "PREI" files.


then install applications as needed

strich, on Feb 23 2008, 02:38 PM, said:

Step 5 did not work for me... It doesn't skip the installation process!

strich, on Feb 23 2008, 09:38 PM, said:

I presume what you state is meant for WM6 & not panot v2.6 lighted rom. Anyway thanks for the info........

jazzzz, on Feb 24 2008, 02:27 AM, said:

Yes, because the 2.6 GPRS did not work for my network, so to in order to get a clean install without any E_TEN software, i use the above procedure with the official eten wm6 rom.

LeJeff, on Feb 23 2008, 05:50 PM, said:

it definately works, try again. i have done it on 4 units of x-500

Qal3awy`, on Feb 22 2008, 03:37 PM, said:

What about your ring tone file? Is it located on your SD car or are you using some of default ones located on ROM? If on SD card, try to move it to ROM...

New version.

panot, on Feb 25 2008, 01:19 AM, said:

downloading it now.. will try today

done upgrading.. I see I line at the top.. Is It batEry? how do I configure it to change to another color? I used to install spb pocket plus to get that batery line.. huhuhu.. one more, and why u don't remove the batery icon from top bar?anyone want a Nice keyboard? im using happy tapping.. maybe panot like it and include in the rom later..

I can't use TASK and Calendar . when want to add task, got windows error box saying "No program memory available". when using calendar to add agenda, error saying "The database for this application has been deleted or corrupted. restore the database from a backup" no other apps running or installed now. still clean wm6

Can some angel help me in downloading the file through rapidshare? Can't seem to do so at all, always getting this 'Download session invalid' no matter how many times I tried. Thanks..........

jazzzz, on Feb 25 2008, 02:11 PM, said:

try clearing ur cookies

Panot, why did you change the name of sd-card to "Storage Card"? If one tries to restore an old backup, like me, there will be problems, if software is installed to sd card 'cause of the changing path...

PS: Since eten's Skype was removed from ext-rom, i'd like to know which is the last skype-version that will work on x500 supporting voice calls and the switch from external to internal speaker.

dude, on Feb 25 2008, 03:36 PM, said:

By the way.. is there any way to activate this switch for other application.
I use SIP client that allow me to phone for free if I have internet connection.
So, if I am at one wifi hotspot, I can phone for free... except that the sound goes thru the back hp, not the front hp.

So I need to activate the switch for another application.

Does anyone know if it could be done ?

Regards

Gabriel

This switch is between earphone and reproductor basicaly. It works with all applications.

dude, on Feb 25 2008, 03:36 PM, said:

I want to rename this card because SDMMC is stupidity. You cannot put in your device MMC card. All HTC devices have this name of the card and I guess that it is reasonable.
This version of Skype works very well

benjy, on Feb 25 2008, 05:00 AM, said:

Yes Benjy on the top is battery bar. Color cannot be configured and I have no idea why it could be changed? Battery icon was removed but you can install it like cab file. Name of the apps is maybe BatteryMeter. What is the name of your keyboard? It must be free to put it inside the ROM.

benjy, on Feb 25 2008, 09:51 AM, said:

Task and Calendar work greatly, no error. You did some mistake with uninstallation of some application.

I downloaded this ROM and all i can say is.....

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Eten now seems a new phone..... works perfectly and the speed has DOUBLED.

Believe it or not, but everything goes smooth and without problems.

Tomtom? perfect
Skype? perfect
Phone? perfect
echo problem? almost solved
Interface? a thousand times better than original
Stability? With original rom i used to soft reset every 2-3 days. This one has been working for a week like a charm.

My X500 is working now as it should have worked from day 1.. but didn´t.

I really recomend to update to this rom. Maybe tricky and scary, but the results are just a miracle

Oh damn, after reading all the good feedbacks, and being unable to use this ROM since I own a X500+, I think it is time to start petition for light ROM for X500+

Panot, do you think it is too difficult to create a similar ROM for X500+?

Here are additional links for the latest version (2.8) in case you are having problems with the RapidShare ones:

English WITH SDHC

English WITHOUT SDHC

Enjoy!!

Can you please translate the ROM to german language.

Mabe this is a nice application for next rom version - HTC Touch Home plugin - it works better that the original one (from xda developers)!

http://weather.not2a..._xplode_n2a.cab


regards Daniel

any chance this rom can be made for x500+ ????
Arty out...

Like everybody, I was especting this new ROM... and it is just perfect ;D
Great thing to make our phone live longer.

Tried the 2.6 version. Very easy to install.

Note :
You can remove you "CAUTION 2: Before upgrading ..." because it is working with non SDHC memory card. BTW I was mistaken because like you said, with my old MicroSD and the new drivers, I could not read anymore the card. So I had to buy a new one. BUT, this new one cannot be formated in FAT16. (windows does not allow it). So I tried to copy the files on my "old" 1Go card... and the installation worked perfectly.

Thanks everybody for active feedback

I v2.8 English, but there is a display bug, look at the top of the screen!

pivert, on Feb 26 2008, 02:12 AM, said:

that is the battery status, not a bug.. bro panot, u can see at the screenshot, there is a batery icon + battery status bar. u not remove the batery icon

I think that's a bug. I speak of the green line at the top

pivert, on Feb 26 2008, 07:57 AM, said:

Pivert the green line is not a bug, it's for measuring battery level, Battery Meter, an option from spb mobile shell.

-EDIT-

If you dont like battery meter on top you can disable batterymeter.lnk loading from windows startup.

Ha ok thanks for the information, but yet I uninstalled spb mobile shell !

Hi Panot! Thanx for your good words! Sorry i've been lost this weekend had sooo many things to do, i haven't had even 5 minutes to visit .

I saw you released a new version already, i downloaded and flashed my device..it finished just now...
Havent had ANY problems with 2.6wwe but thought since you released a new version, as a beta tester of Panot!!!! i thought that i HAVE to test it!!

i'll be back soon posting my comments!

Cheers mate, Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

panot.. here is the keyboard. remove the .txt extention.. it suppose to be .rar

 HappyTapping_Keyboard.arm.rar.txt (22.06K)

Can you please translate the ROM to DUTCH language.

Thanks!!!!

On Skype 2.2 the earphone-switch does not work anymore. Could someone send me the original Skype?

dude, on Feb 26 2008, 05:21 PM, said:

here the one panot give.. http://rapidshare.co...cketPC_Beta.CAB

I've installed this version and the switch does not work.

I test Rom 2.6 Eng

When I replace my batt,the pin of wifi is lost.

Have the patch to fix this problem?

Thank you "panot"

It is possible to upgrade to Panot ROM without formatting sdmmc, directly from PC?
Panot, I think you're doing a remarkable job. How can you make so much versions of ROMs, every 2-3 days there's a new version...

pivert, on Feb 26 2008, 01:12 AM, said:

Hi my friend, it is really battery status line and it is not a part of Mobile Shell. It is some plug in which I put to the ROM. I guess that it is very useful.

mladjoo, on Feb 26 2008, 08:38 PM, said:

Yes, you can but it is easy. Copy everything from your card to PC, formate it into FAT16 and upgrade with the latest ROM. I'm doing so much versions because I need somebody to test it and when I find a new impovements I do new release. The second reason is that I love new features.

Something for testing for X500plus users in my 3rd post

Thank you, it looks very nice. This is the way ETEN sould make their ROM's.

magic55, on Feb 26 2008, 07:11 PM, said:

While I consider myself a pretty heavy power user and have done my fair share of ROM flashing, I'm somewhat hesitant to be the first guinea pig for this cooked ROM.

I'm downloading, but would LOVE to hear feedback from any other brave souls who have flashed their X500+. I just want to avoid a $600 brick. Thanks!
Skorpyo

Skorpyo, on Feb 27 2008, 04:10 PM, said:

Skorpyo, from what you said you dont seem to have done the flashing process before...so what you seek is someone else to be the 'guinea pig' rather than you? Fair enough but in this way you don't respect Panot's work.

And If you dont respect Panot's work then simply don't download and don't use any of Panot's roms.

As for bricking your so prescious X500+, then why dont you stick with the official roms from ETEN?

Wait for the next official release of ETEN rom which apart from wm6 the Eten apps are buggy and make your X500+ slower than a slug.

Panot is sacrificing his free time and instead of doing something for himself only, he shares his work with us for free...

Little Respect is the least anybody can do for Panot.

If someone thinks that i said something wrong, or offended anyone then i will not speak again.

Thank you.

I doubt you would brick the device. Worse come to worse, just reflash with another ROM to get your device to work.

I will be uploading the file to my server shortly so those having problems with RapidShare can get it from mine.

Here is the alternative download source for v2.9 Beta for the X500+

panot, on Feb 26 2008, 11:30 PM, said:

Great! Can you explain me how (I really don't want to mess arround with sdmmc...)? I upgraded my X500 from italian WM5 to WWE WM6 using this procedure:
http://eten-users.eu...showtopic=10462
and I wander if those procedures are the same or not?

x500wm5, on Feb 27 2008, 09:58 AM, said:

*sigh* wow, I guess I wasn't clear enough in how I asked my questions..... What I am saying is that I have done plenty of ROM flashing, but never on my ETEN. I've used cooked ROMs on my other PDAs with great success and certainly AM going to try Panot's ROM as everyone here certainly agrees he has done a fine job with his x500 ROM.

Maybe you have a lot of money and can afford to replace a $500 device at any given time, but my x500+ is critical to me, and frankly if I kill it I'm putting myself in a bad situation. Just like I read reviews before I buy a new car I was hoping to hear some reviews from those who had tried Panot's ROM. I certainly did not mean any disrespect, I simply wanted to know if anyone had tried it yet.

Frankly I respect Panot very much, he has put time and effort into improving the lives of every x500 (and now x500+) user who is fortunate enough to have found this site. His work and contributions to this forum are exemplary and I certainly appreciate that he has taken time out of HIS days and evenings to not only provide these fine ROMs, but to also constantly work to improve them for the users of his ROMs.

To Skorpyo and others:
Don't worry about bricking your device. It isn't possible. I'm uploading at the moment original 543ROM to reflash your X500plus device it it is needed. I flashed my Glofiish more that 40 times during testing and no problem. I need somebody to try flashing his device because I have no possibility to test it. There can be some major bug and corrected ROM cannot start to flash. I did copie like tested X500 2.8 ROM. For that reason you can reflash with original ROM and you will have your device like before. There is original ROM if coocked ROM doesn't start to upgrade process.

WM6. for X500plus.WWE.543.original ROM

mladjoo, on Feb 27 2008, 07:47 PM, said:

No. This it the process how to get temp.bin from original exe file. If you have card reader, copy all to your PC, formate your card into FAT16, upload to the card two files from my download area and you can start upgrade process. With the card it is more safer. this is the process how to unbrick your device if it is bricked during upgrade process via computer.

tariqbamadhaj, on Feb 27 2008, 08:56 PM, said:

Is it version with or without SDHC ?

x500wm5, on Feb 27 2008, 03:58 PM, said:

Thanks you that you appreciated my effort. I'm glad to have some fans

magic55, on Feb 27 2008, 08:49 PM, said:

With the new driver. Try at first SDHC patch and if you can see your card you can flash. To the contrary uninstall patch your card to be visible. There is also other reason that your card is not be visible if you haven't formated your card properly into FAT16.

panot, on Feb 27 2008, 10:59 PM, said:

I have 2 GB card with FAT16 and R01 WWE 489 version. Where is the upgrade procedure ?

magic55, on Feb 27 2008, 09:03 PM, said:

On my 3rd post is everything. Upgrade procedure is very easy. Important is to keep the upgrade process exactly. If you do something wrong just repeat the process. May be you can press another button or something like that. Some parts of upgrading process takes some seconds when your device working in backgroud and you have to wait for example 20 seconds. Don't panic like me in my first upgrade because I pressed wrong button and process was stoped. Simply I started again. From that time I flashed realy about 40 times without any problem. I need to know if coocked ROM is able to be flashed. Can somobody to try it?

If the will be some problem, reflash back with original WWE 543 ROM which I uploaded in my post:
Post: 245 with uploaded original WWE 543 ROM

panot, on Feb 27 2008, 11:10 PM, said:

I want to try but I have regional Eastern Europe version and non SDHC card. Firstfully I will try SDHC driver.

magic55, on Feb 27 2008, 09:19 PM, said:

It should be working with your card if it is in FAT16. I have for flashing my old Sandisk 2GB microSD and it is visible also with the new driver.The new driver is very good because you don't need to softreset your device if you want to change cards.

magic55, on Feb 27 2008, 11:19 PM, said:

Can't see my card. I need version without SDHC.

magic55, on Feb 27 2008, 09:26 PM, said:

Got some feedback on the 2.9 beta for the X500+ from one of my readers. Here it is:

- Buttons in phone application are smugged (you cannot read what is on them). Might they not be VGA ?
- Calculator does not start. Instead returns: " Error. Cannot load skin file. \Windows\SpbCalc_P_vga.gif".
- RAM is only 23.45 Mb after reset
- First start screen that was showing phone model an ROM number is now black
- Additional apps installer says "SPB Moblie Shell" Sorry for the neatpicking.

tariqbamadhaj, on Feb 27 2008, 11:12 PM, said:

I will do corrections. I neede this because of compatibility some application. I can correct all bugs immediately

tariqbamadhaj, on Feb 27 2008, 11:12 PM, said:

I corrected bugs. What do you mean with the SPB Mobile Shell? This is free applivcation which is putted in X600 or X800 ROM officially

panot, on Feb 28 2008, 12:30 AM, said:

Hi panot,

Thanks for your efforts. I just meant it was mispell in the installer, "moblie" instead of "mobile" but that's not really a problem. Looking forward to try the new version.

I have just uploaded the latest files (v2.9 beta for X500+) to my server. Here are the download links

- v2.9 Beta With SDHC Support
- v2.9 Beta Without SDHC Support

Both the above files are for the WWE version (in case panot uploads a different version after I post this).

15 minutes and I will release corrected versions

tariqbamadhaj, on Feb 28 2008, 12:34 AM, said:

Thanks Tariq,

These are the corrected files that Panot fixed or the old ones ?

panot, on Feb 27 2008, 11:13 PM, said:

Hello Panot,
I have just "upgraded" and here are few things I have noticed so far.

Available Program memory is about 26~27 mb (but probably due to VGA screen)
Running calc shows "Error. Cannot load the skin file: \Windows\SpbCalc)P)vga.gif"
Running phone shows corrupt image (please see attached image)

This is all I have for now. Thank you for your hard work

ken_shin33, on Feb 27 2008, 11:43 PM, said:

Now I'm repacking corrected version and then I will upload it to server

15 minutes

Hi Panot !!!

Did you stop french developpement ?

Because version 2.8 is not available in french :-(

Thank you ... bye ;-)

CyberWarrior, on Feb 28 2008, 12:16 AM, said:

Deffinitely not. I waited for good feedback on English version. I need to do much version and corrections are not so easy for version 2.8. Maybe tomorrow I will do French for you in version 2.9

Updated version WM6.X500plus.Panot.ver.2.9_ENG_nonSDHC in 3rd post. I put back calculator for VGA and corrected bugs. For SDHC in about 10 minutes.

tariqbamadhaj, on Feb 28 2008, 12:34 AM, said:

Hi Tariq and Pavel,

Hi Pavel,

Something very bad happened. PDA won't start anymore. Update showed as completed. It said to restart the device which i did. Now I only get a white screen. What do I do ?

thenenenea, on Feb 28 2008, 12:51 AM, said:

You should flash back with original ROM. I know where could be a problem. I will post correction later.

I'm trying but it would not go into bootloader mode. Tried Voice+Power+ reset. Camera+ power+ reset. Just won't work. Any suggestions ?

thenenenea, on Feb 28 2008, 01:18 AM, said:

It must work with Voice+Power+Camera which you need to hold and then reset

panot, on Feb 28 2008, 02:31 AM, said:

Tried that, still getting the white screen ... Wasn't the bootloader supposed to be in ROM ???

thenenenea, on Feb 28 2008, 01:36 AM, said:

No, you did something wrong. Through this procedure you can enter to bootloader mode and there will be shown if you have correct ROM for your device or something other. Freshly formate card into FAT16, upload to the card two files USBDLUpdate_Console.exe and temp.bin. Then put it in your device. Press and hold these three buttons and while you holding these buttons, press softreset and you must enter to bootloader mode. Then automaticaly will start upgrade process. I did it 40 times.

Kept pressed: Power button (upper right above reset hole) + camera button + voice button (middle left bellow volume ones, has a circle on it) and while holding them pressed pushed reset. 1 second later the screen is back to white. Kept the three buttons pressed for 10 minutes, nothing happens. I think service is the only remaining option...

Start you had correct but then you did mistake. At first check your files on your microSD card, NOT microSDHC (it is not supported in bootloader mode) Keep pressed: Power button (upper right above reset hole) + camera button + voice button (middle left bellow volume ones, has a circle on it) and while holding them press reset. 1 second later you will see the screen is black, then release all buttons (not to hold it 10 minutes!)and you will see one second white screen and then black again. Automaticaly will start upgrade process. Nothing more. Maybe you still do some mistake. It works always. Try to keep my advice ant it will works!

Pavel,

I know how the bootloader screen looks like. I do the steps you indicated with micro SD card 2gb (only one I've got) formatted as FAT16 with the files on it. Problem is there is no bootloader starting, it only shows the white screen forever. Might it be because of the size of the card ?

What have you done Pavel, what have you done ? The .bin file was for the X500 !!! The white screen I'm getting is because the OS cannot support the VGA screen of the X500+ and now the bootloader will not allow me to get back to an X500+ rom. Can you fix this ? Can you make a rom for X500+ with X500 markings so I can un-brick my phone ? Please do it as soon as possible, I'm going creazy ...

Size of the card shouldn't be a problem. I flashed mine without a problem (SanDisk 2gb).
Have you tried pulling out the battery and letting it drain, than turning on the device?


If that's successful you could try to flash it from USB rather than through SD card. all you need to do is to change the extension of the temp.bin file to temp.dat file. Copy the temp.dat file, EUU.exe and USBDLUpdate_Console.exe file to C:|Documents and Settings\%profile%\Local Settings\Temp and than run the EUU from there once ActiveSync connection is established. Hope this helps.

Sorry didn't see your last post before my own post just above.

Panot, I think thenenenea maybe right. I have just downloaded the newest ROM built from the rapid share. Whenever I try to flash it via USB, install fails with attached error. It worked fine earlier when I tried it (post 275).

my heart beats faster while reading EDGE Download status: 782kb and counting....
hopefully i can pass this ROM upgrading..

will give report if it is completed. greets from indonesia for you panot!

WHAT THE .. !!
you've done your work superbly! this 2.8 working amazingly fast! thank you for your great effort panot! will continue report if i found any bugs (hopefully never!).

thanks again!

I would recommend an other denotation for x500+ rom. Something like 2.9+ for X500+ and 2.9 for x500.

okay, after few hours reinstalling my fav applications, finally i found something missing. but i dont know whether it's just a device dependent or one of many applications that you shut down from installation files.

the application that i missed was mobile banking from my GSM/simcard. hence, it's there from previous rom with the name of sim toolkit. but now, it's gone. my question, is this because of new rom or just my sim card problem? i tried to shut down x500, put out both of battery and sim card and reinsert them all again with no luck. any advice?

thank you panot, sorry for disturbing you and for my bad english..

@thenenenea - I have the same problem. I have white screen and I can't get in bootloader mode. I'll tried to flash eten x500+ this ROM:
Non SDHC (for SD cards only):
English (Released: February 28, 2008, 02:00h.)
http://rapidshare.co...ENG_nonSDHC.rar

using metod in this post: http://eten-users.eu...showtopic=10462

help!


Edit: I enter in boot loader mode this way "Enter Bootloader mode ( Press "RESET + POWER ON/OFF + REC" and keep "REC" pressed. )" but I have this message:
Os Image is NOT compatible with this hardware

I think if this fatal ROM was from x500 then I don't find any compatible ROM from x500+

edit2:
ufff. I found this topic http://eten-users.eu...pic=12875&st=15. I change 4 bytes in ROM from 26.02.2008 for ETEN x500+ and my pocket is back to life

I think we should separate posts regarding lightrom of X500+ from X500. This will avoid confusion and the mixing of bug reports of diferent ROMs. A new thread should be started, just for X500+ versions.

To Panot: Maybe a good set of building scripts will make your life easier. If you get enough donations, you may try some more advanced building tool, like Finalbuilder. I will try the new ROM for X500+ in this weekend...

Just my .2c

Hi Panot,

I've been using the last couple of days v2.8wwe and i noticed that it's slower than with v2.6wwe.
Maybe Java,MMS,Total Commander or something else made the decrease in speed?

Anyhow reverted to v2.6wwe and today i wanted to play a 3gp file previously recorded from my x500.
File Does not play and Media Player message follows: 'No cobination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection'

So probably the codecs are missing...any resolution to this,where i can find the codecs for media player?

Anybody else facing the same issue?

-EDIT- Temporary solution - TCPMP...

Cheers mate!
