Reusing WM2003SE Widcomm BT stack extracted from dumped ROM image - anyone tried?
Please read the first post in this thread to acquire the latest version of the patch!!!!
For historical reasons, I keep the original post here so that the context of this thread isn't lost. Reading it is NOT needed for anyone; just follow the link above!
As the BT hardware may be exactly the same as on the (by default WM2003SE) x50v, it may not be impossible to disable the MS stack in the Registry (it's referenced in many, system-level, mainly Servicing-oriented registry entries) and use the Widcomm one instead.
EDIT (March 30):
A new thread has also been opened to post everything about the development of the project. This one is becoming huge and it starts to become impossible to find anything.
It sounds very interesting. It would be very cool using BROADCOM on WM5. I didn't see anyone trying to hack this but maybe there are some clever guys out htere, who will manage it.

I never tried it but I found this , is it what you are about to try?
Yup, but for the i-mate k-jam, which prolly has a different hardware than the x50v/x51v. That is, I'll try to change the BT manager using the x50v WM2003SE version first and if I don't succeed, I give a try to other Windcomm hacks.
Thanks for the link makuu. I'm going to try it later tonight. I think the difficult part is how to point the registry to use the X51's bluetooth driver. bthcsr.dll is there so I guess its worth a try.

I tried it. Had to hard reset. It set my volume to low and I couldnt stop it even after deleting.

Could you please elaborate on this a bit more? Did you took the WM2003SE x50v Widcomm BT-related files and made them work on a x51v? Or, did you mean the indoxda.net stuff linked above? I'd be really interested – it'd be great to have, for example, BT PAN capabilities.
As far as the latter is concerned, I've done what it said. BTTrayCe has indeed shown the Widcomm BT icon on the toolbar. The BT Manager, however, complained about the missing hardware ("insert card") and starting the BT servce itself was impossible (the well-known "Out of memory" error.)
Then, I've started overwriting the indoxda.net files with the WM2003SE x50v BT files I've managed to extract (uploaded them here so you can also give them a try). Also, I've extracted the relevant Registry area from my Pocket Loox 720; it's available here as a registry import file.
It didn't work either. Much as the apps at least start (after overwriting the original indoxda.net files with them), unlike in the case when I just copied them over the PDA and just imported my registry import file.

Be careful about this. I believe a thread about this was immediately deleted by the moderator since it's illegal. It doesn't work for Axims anyway.

Its an awesome idea, and I would be glad to help if you like. I've just poked at the registry a bit, but some of the stuff for BT is contained in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\BLUETOOTH
Mabey deleting the whole entire thing will get rid of the MSFT stack to go away. Altough like you said getting the ax to look for the widcomm driver might be kinda difficult. Mabey swithcing some of the .dll files in that reg entry we can kinda swap it out.

i did that from the site but when i do a soft reset it says "the bluettoth radio failed to turn on due to insufficent driver memory available. You must perform a normal reset before you turn on the bluetooth radio. Please help me

1. It's for Imate K-JAM

Yup, I'm just trying to switch "old" WM2003SE x50v (so that I have hardware compatibility) Widcomm drivers with the new WM5 drivers. Hope I'll have success :)
