Rom Release! Dell Axim x50v WM6.5 L12 21139 - Alpha1

[LennySh]

Well, as I stated, I've recently got my hands on a QVGA WM6.5 source. I've created a VGA WM6.5 ROM for the X50v, and it runs fast as **** !!! The look and feel of this rom is the same as WM6.1 was, since it was QVGA, I could not fully port over all the nifty new apps like the today plugin that is all fancy. But, it is a WM6.5 Beta ROM. Meaning the OS itself likely may have issues itself, therefor porting a Beta OS to an old device would def make this ROM an Alpha release. It does have some graphics issues, and I plan on trying really hard to figure out what old files I need to replace to fix the graphic issues. But I will release this ROM for those of you that may want to "try" it out. I'm not going to say that this ROM is by far ready for day-to-day use. But who knows. Maybe it'll do better than I think it will. I'll post the download link later on, as well as some screenshots.

REMINDER!
Please do not expect a perfect ROM. This ROM is an Alpha ROM and the OS (WM6.5) is still in Beta!! So somethings may/will not work!

BTW, no CF support for some reason in the ROM. Had same issue with the X51v. Drivers and all are installed. It's just not loading the driver or something in WM6.5.

Thanks! I'm just flashing this Alpha-Build... will try out in the next few hours

But for so long: Great work!!!

*edit01*
First hands on and it runs and runs and runs... like lenny said there are soma graphic issues, but for an alpha it looks great... (i'll go on testing)

*edit02*
I installed a few progs and dont have filesys.exe kicking in all the time... or i just dont feel it :P ok, the first big problem: in the wlan utility i cant see any networks, but PeekPocket WLAN Sniffer shows me all available...

*edit03*
OK, now i tried wlan again: same connection problems like in old WM6.0 or WM6.1 ROMs -> driver loaded, the axim tries to connect and the driver is down... don't know if there is a fix for this wlan problem, but the biggest problem was something else: after i tested the wlan filesys.exe kicked in for about a minute... *sorry*

Downloading right now! Hopefully I'll be able to do some testing tonight! Thanks Lenny!!

Downloading file now. Funny how since I'm new, I'll actually load 6.5 even before playing around with 6.1.

Thanks

Hi LennySh!

You're really the man!
Have you found out yet how to change the rom's block size so that the filesys problem goes away once and for all?
(I heard you were getting help from cmonex...Am I wrong?)

Thanx

[numseipt]

I am not an expert, and I may not be of any help for you, LennySh, but I believe that sometimes saying thanks will help encouraging you all... You are doing a great work, that helps thousands around the globe (I myself am from Portugal!). Please keep the good work, as well as all of you guys, collaborating with LennySh. I will test it today

oh，thank you so much! yeah!who's the man?!!
I'm from China and have just downloaded your rom.it took a little while~
issues the same as described.
looking foward to the non-beta version

[zsdja]

A few words I would like to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for your great effort, LennySh!

[JoeQFlyer]

Can someone please post if CF slot working. I really need that slot.

Like Lenny said the driver isn't loaded. I got a german x50v and tried my CF-card, but as I expected it isn't recognized - wether in the file explorer nor in the total commander I am using...

[xm177]

thank you very much!

[xxn59]

no,as far as i know there is nothing we can do...

Microsoft announces Windows Mobile 6.5，Windows Mobile 6.5 is now official！！hope for the new WM6.5 offical version on X50v!!!

Yo,

I will test it tonight. Wireless is too important. But how is about battery. Hope that my X50v works for more than 30 minutes

Nice work LennySh... stay tuned...

I just bought one 2200mA battery for my X50v. It works great. Now I don't need to recharge it just after using it for one hour.

[abbaba]

i have 3600mAh, very very FAT battery just sometimes battery controler does stupid things, but battery lasts for ever!

[Rachidos]

With my bad english... Just tryin ^^

WLAN does... not properly, but if I deactivate, then activate, then it works.

Sometimes "unlock" doesnt work until I activate another app. After activating the App, then system is unlocked. Trying out of the hell of Unlock works only with resetting the system.

Transcriber und Windows live should be always integrated in WM. Everytime downloading this.... :-)

I miss JAVA for workings applets. Anyone with an Idea, that works?

Notification Sounds... there is nothing to select. Playbutton is unvisible behind some textboxes.

Button 4 is undefined.... Standard: "Today" people...today ;-)

I need a big battery... 3600mAh sounds good... Where can I get that ???


If I find something... I will tell you...

Good night together :-)

I am downloading it.
Try to flash it to my X50V, the old system is 2003.
Thanks for your help.

I flash WM6.5 Successful,
My PDA is DELL X50V, 624Mhz, 2003SE A02 Chinese edition, 4G SD Card.
One problem:
When the PDA is locked, I could not open it. No password ihas been set.
There is "unlock" displayed on the top of the screen,
at the middle of the screen, "press cancel then press unclock " dispayed.
at the bottom, "cancel" displayed.

But, when I press the "cancel", the "unlock" could not be seen, and press,
though, I could not open , run the PDA, reset is no useful,
Only hard-reser can solve the problem.

Could you help me to solve this porblem?

thanks a lot!
