Re: IconROM Win 6.5 CE OS 5.2.23563 Build

Well, my experiment with your ROM did not go so well. Installed ROM and 96dpi. Worked well for a while. When I transfered my pim.vol over to the root, and calendar/address book stopped working, and I kept getting stuck in the windows start menu. The only way I could get out was to launch IE and then quit it. Repeated soft resets did nothing, so had to hard reset.

After the hard reset, transferred pim.vol to the root again, but this time immediately did a soft reset. Calendar and Address Book worked fine. Installed MemMaid, and both of the soft buttons did same action ("jump to" - I could not get to the "menu" to enter my registration code). Same experience with another program. Did another hard reset and reinstalled MemMaid, still had the same problem.

Before I take the hours to reinstall all of my software piece by piece, I need some more confidence in the stability of your ROM and that the core features will work. My experience with MemMaid may be an aberration, but I don't want to invest hours only to learn that some of my other key software will not work. For now I went back to BigE's 1/31 version (you are right I had 38MB of RAM with yours vs. 31MB with BigE's), but wanted to provide feedback and encourage your efforts. Thanks and please keep up the good work. Would love to have a stripped down ROM that is stable, and it looks like you have a good start.
