applying now .... thanks for the great work
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
can you make a rom with all your customization (themes, rings, etc) but WITHOUT any Cingular stuff? I'd like to use the ROM on a different network.

Thanks

PS: is it possible to find, somewhere on this or other forum, a complete guide on how to cook a wizard rom?

I've searched extensively this forum and now i think (or i hope) i have all the knowledge and the tools i need to start however i'm scared i can destroy my phone with a bad rom.

Thanks, bye

Greetings!

Just upgraded from your 2.17 ROM and this one seems to be a lot faster especially on bootup.

Thank you very much! :D

Nice work summiter :D Only been on the wizard scene for 2 weeks and Ive already noticed who the "daddy" is ;) I do have one request though, could you maybe list what files are in the extended rom and there function so to avoid installing Cingular setting ect
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yellowdragon:
Summiter, just noticed that inserting or removing the memory card will wake up the 8125. Nice! :)

Now, if only the keyboard backlight could be made to stay on for 30 seconds instead of 5... ;)

Great, I was just about to install the AKU 2.2 version, but I'll jump on this instead!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] saeba:
Just installed.

Hit a couple of oddities for the first time (previously installed 2.17 and 2.25 summiter roms) that I'd heard reported before: 1) one install (rhinostats) hung (clock just went round and round for several minutes after install) at the end requiring a soft reset. The install was successful though. 2) after successfully setting up our corportate pushmail, some time later when I checked back, the mail folder was missing in messaging. Attempting to deinstall/reinstall error'd with an account setup problem. I deinstalled, then soft reset, then re-installed and it was able to resetup the account.

The rom is a little different than past Cingular ones in that the cingular GPRS settings are under My ISP. I didn't see how to change proxy on My ISP; however, it seems proxy is not set which is what I want.

Also, the O2 today theme was missing. I actually was using that ;-)!

Thanks for putting this all together Summiter!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hesh:
Finally took the leap and updated to this ROM from my Cingular stock ROM (OS 1.8.11.1).

A quick question for Summiter: what are the registry changes you made, if any?

Thanks for the ROM!

So far so good! Pocket Plus has been working great. I love it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Jerome!:
Thanks a lot! Installed it a few minutes ago, so I am not able to rate it's stability, but so far so good. One thing I noticed is that in the settings--> connections menu an option is added: USB to PC. It states " Changing the type of USB connection your device uses can help with problems connecting Activesync. "

Enable advanced network functionality (checkbox)

Might be usefull for those having troubles with USB connections.

I just upgraded to this rom and when I am installing my programs its not showing how much space I have left on my device or my card...is this a bad sign?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] decepticon:
I as well have had no issues with the radio on this rom but I also have a 3G sim.

I did try to flash the Cingular radio but got errors doing it so I gave up, either way I do think the signal issue is with the rom and sim together.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] irablumberg:
I'm also having Wi-Fi problems with this ROM. The 8125 connects to my Belkin Pre-N router (with WEP 128 bit enabled), but after about 2 minutes, the connection drops (even when signal strength is very strong, I have the 8125 set to maximum radio power and I'm in the same room as the router). Then after a few moments, the 8125 tries to reconnect. Sometimes it does and sometimes it fails to reconnect.

Very strange.

I'll keep using this ROM until there is a fix or until I need to use Wi-Fi which will likely be my next trip to Japan in July.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ahfunaki:
I like everyone else recommend downgrading to the cingular radio...

it really seemed to help with the connect time from reboot plus better signal strength...

and I don't know if it matters, but I'm using an old school 32k card...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Well all my APs have no WEP key enabled, they're all open. They're all different names. I only seem to be having the connecting problem on the Belkin Pre-N router... but i am runing the newest firmware for this router so i wouldn't think its the router's programing. As for the other router (SRX), it drops me in varing lengths of times... i think it has to do with leaving it idle - going to sleep. The second it goes to sleep, I have to completely close IE and turn off/on the wifi. It will then give me a fresh reconnect and work fine until it goes idle again. My conclusion is that my phone just doesn't like Pre-N routers... wish it would like it again!

It sounds like there's some customizations that still need to be done with AKU2.3, but thus far, good work Summiter!, just hoping that in recent days something will come out or maybe a custom cook of 2.25 with the benefits of your custom aku 2.3? just, wifi working? heh, I don't think its this router - did work before... not as if I got security on this thing tight right now.

Anyhow, keep me informed guys!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Since it appears some folks are having a better time with the 2.25 radio from the leaked Cingular ROM, I've added it to the this ROM and updated the link in the first post. I rebuilt this from a tree I was working on adding stuff to, so it includes a softkey control panel app to remap them. It's in Start->Settings->System->Soft Key

I'll take some time over the next few days to add CF2 to this one as well.

What are people's thoughts on the Cyberon Voice Speed Dial app? Should I remove it? Replace it with Cyberon Voice Dialer? Keep it?

I wanted to confirm what some others have been seeing about the clock jumping an hour here or there.

In the 2.17 ROM, I applied this registry hack to add a tab to the phone options in order to automatically set the clock and timezone from the network:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting]

"ShowTimeZonesPage"=dword:00000001

In AKU 2.3 (v2.24), the registry hack is not needed and the tabbed page is already there (unless summiter added it).

The difference I've noticed between 2.17 and 2.24 is 2.24 seems to bounce between Eastern time and Eastern Indiana time (where they used to not do DST and now they might or something - never been there so I don't follow their pseudochronoproblemos). So whatever was added to enable this feature was more than just what the registry hack above did in 2.17 because this worked just fine in 2.17. I'm located in Atlanta roughly 15 to 20 miles from Cingular's HQ - where you'd think they want the network to be as bug-free as possible because all the execs are around. My understanding is this is a network problem not transmitting the proper (or enough) information and the phone's just trying to do what it's being asked to do.

Other networks may not have this problem and other parts of Cingular's network may not have this problem. But just be aware if you travel around and encounter this, it may mess with your clock. Since the appt times in the calendar in the phone adjust to the local timezone to show the appt in local time - the alarm may or may not adjust, too (haven't tested it).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Summiter, I see two issues with adding the Full Blown Cyberon Voice Dialer to your great Rom.

First, it is commercial software (like MS Voice Command).

Second, as I understand it there are different versions coded to your hardware so you would need a WIZ100 version and a WIZ200 version.

I do think it is better to remove it as so many here use better software for that function.

This weekend I'm going to start building an OS Rom with MS Voice Command integrated. Of course it will be for my personal use only because I don't condone distributing Warez.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aadadams:
Please remove it. I never liked any version of Cyberon.

XM

I am also using

http://www.xstreamxm.com/mobile still working great.

Another 2 cents. I have had no issues at all with this rom and wireless access at my work. Multi AP's with the same sid and works fine. Our ap's are all cisco. Also, I have not seen the cellular strength issues that so many of you guys are talking about ether. Again, I do have the newer 3G sim card though. In fact it seems to be a little better over the 2.17 rom that I had on the phone previousley. Overall I am very happy with this rom but like someone said earlier I'm sure I'll keep playing with it till its broke for sure.....

Battery, Sirius, Scroll Contacts?

So far this 2.23 Test 1 ROM has been working very efficiently for me and my USA Cingular 8125. Personally, I have not experienced any problems what so ever with Wi-Fi. I have noticed that the cell signal is very slow to update, sometimes requiring a reset to get it back. Will try the test 2 ROM with the Cingualr Radio and see if there is any improvements. I have noticed that my battery is losing power much quicker than compared to 2.17 or 2.25. Any ideas? I am not running any 3rd party apps. I am also wondering if the CAb that was used in this ROM for choosing multiple contacts is causing the scroll feature to be way behind. When I scroll to a contact, my phone is always numerous contacts behind. I did not have this issue with the stock ROM, or version 2.25 with out Summiters mods. Lastly, I am looking for an app that can stream Sirius satellite radio through either GPRS/Edge or Wi-Fi. I saw alink posted previously for such an app, but it never seemed to be able to connect. Any ideas?

Thanks....B-Rad

I do have a quick question; Do apps like PocketRSS, JournalBar or SPB weather ( I use all 3) update while the phone is in standby the same way text msg and calls are recieved?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
You're the man Summiter! I'll probably also await the CF2 package for this rom, as also I'm not staying near my machine that has all this crap on it already.

As far as condoning or distributing software that's "warez" - MS Voice Command is part of this Cingular rom - so that I see no reason why there should be a problem. Other stuff, yeah maybe, but I'll tell you this - several games and other apps that are available on Palm vs WM5 are a lot cheaper, even for the same versions. I don't think I should pay $30 for Bejeweled when for Palm its $5 - so there's my take on the whole distributing windows software to a small benefitting community.

Anyhow, not to get off topic, but Summiter, I'm definately excited about trying out the new radio and seeing if that'll fix up my wifi issues here with the belkin. Beyond that, pack whatever you want into the setup, we'll remove what we need to remove, but from the bandwagon people are saying rip that cyberon thing out - i think i'll join them. I do like the imbedded ms voice command that's in there by default.

Connecting To: CSD Cingular?!

I moved up from 2.17 to 2.25 and I think everything runs a little faster. One change I noticed is that anytime my device is trying to hit the internet, and I have WIFI turned off, it always tries to use MyISP connection, and tries to dial the CSD number. It won't let me delete the MyISP connection setting, and unfortunately the phone occassionally tries to connect when I use WMP and caused my BT HT820 headphones to skip. Any ideas on how I can stop this?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 100Tbps:
I thought I was being crafty by looking the 2.17 extended rom and grabbing a copy of CF2REG.CAB before I upgraded to 2.24. I installed the CF2REG.CAB right after the upgrade, but now WiFiFoFum2 is complaining I need a newer version of Microsoft .NET Compact Framework. I'm sure I can go find it and install it (maybe I needed more than the cab itself), but I guess I took this for granted with the 2.17 ROM.

WiFiFoFum2 is a program I don't think anyone would mind if it came pre-installed with the next ROM (unless someone knows of a better tool for scanning the 802.11 airwaves to save laptop boot-up time when on the go). It's free so no worry about licensing etc.

Other than CF2, I think the lone remaining identified weird issues were:

- the Times New Roman font showing up where it used to be Tahoma or Arial (like in the Comm Manager and possibly in the new-and-improved Task Manager).

- the themes need to be modified now that the date is back to one line and the clock is in the toolbar at the top <-- I use the Windows Default theme and don't have a problem.

If these were to be worked out - even as trivial as they are - we'd be looking a nearly perfect ROM leveraging the latest stable OS from T-Mo and better of the two GSM radio codes from Cingular - and all of summiter's cool enhancements.

Has anyone done some work around these two areas? If so, is there anything others can contribute or help you share the load?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Whoa... Microsoft Voice Command IS NOT part of any Official Rom. Cyberon Voice Dialer (which is the el cheapo version of Cyberon Voice Commander) is.

Second, while I do understand what you are saying about the price difference I still don't think that justifies stealing the software. Simply put if it isn't worth what it costs then don't bother with it. If a program doesn't sell at $30 then eventually the developer will lower the price. Besides these Warez jerks are stealing from little guys who peddle their wares for $5 to $15 a pop and it's worth atleast that.

Hello all, I have a locked Cingular 8125 that I just got last week and I was wondering if I have to unlock before using this rom. My only concern is if I have to take or send the phone back I can reflash the original 1.8.11.1 ROM back on there but I'm pretty sure unlocking will void any warranties. If I do have to unlock first (which it seems like I will from reading other posts) is there any way to re-SIM lock the phone to Cingular. Sorry for the newbish question but I didn't find an answer to the relocking question via Search.

Dropping calls

Well,

I'm still having call dropping issues with this ROM. I also installed the 2.25 Cingular Radio ROM - more dropped calls.

Also, I first didn't install the MSFP Heartbeat cab file in extended ROM (since I don't use direct push) - and then installed it after dropping calls - all to no avail.

I know there has been speculation that this is a problem with applications that consistently request a data connection, and I do use GoodLink (which I have to use to get email, so disabling it is not an option).

Anyone else still having this problem?
