Well the tests have gone great (thanks beta testers); I have been able to address all issues that I am currently aware of :)

I have also corrected the radio resume issues (it was a bug that lost track of GSM status on resume!)

I am now just trying to get the Video Calling patched-up, so I can include this too. If I can not get it working by this weekend then I will move forward and provide the release (then maybe provide the Video Call as a cab)

So to answer your question on the release date, it should be by this upcoming Monday and it may include Video Calling (hopefully)

Take care,

-Jwrightmcps

P.S. Below is a list of bugs I corrected in the next release:

Password lockout issue

Auto-suggest disable issue

Voice Command bluetooth issue

Slow phone dialer application response issue

Corrected "Windows Live" icon in PIE favorites

CommManager Data Disconnect issue

GSM/GPRS resume connection issue

MMS picture camera insert function

MMS video camera insert function

Repeat lock-ups on device reboot

Extensive battery drain

Pocket MSN

Hi JW

It is excellent news that much progress has been made with some of the problems found especially the battery drain issue. THANKS for making your personal time available to this project for the benefit of many other Universal users.

I have a request. Is it at all possible to have the option to install Pocket MSN or Windows Live Messenger? as opposed to defaulting to Windows Live Messenger as part of the release. I find WLM most cumbersom to use, and takes up unnecessary space on the today screen. I also find that if one exits out of WLM it always closes the application instead of keeping it alive and running in the background. The other advantage for Pocket MSN is that it also provides an ICON which also tells one how many hotmails are unread.

Please consider my request for the next update.

Many thanks,

Norman

One more Issue !!!

I've noticed one more issue that I think was overlooked. When you set the in-call volume slider to MAX and then restart your phone for whatever reason, the slider returns back to it's normal average position. Thus, having to always increase in-call volume everytime after a restart.

This was not there in your wm2005 AKU3.2

Hope it gets solved...

Phone compatibility

Hi everyone,

after HOURS of searching through the forum, it seems that Jwright's WM6 is the most stable ROM. I have an O2 XDA mini S, is it compatible with that ROM? I must say that the whole thing is very confusing, I came across 4 or 5 releases and I just don't know which one is right for me :confused: :confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] peteyuen:
No, for Universal only
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Burko:
I upgraded my Universal, and yesterday when using WLM my battery died, now i can't turn it on, when i plug it in, it boots to the screen with the rom info, then turns back off, and continues to do this perpetually. I can get into bootloader, but only when connected to the mains, not a pc.

So when its plugged in it will come on, but not get past the boot screen, all other times it doesnt do anything (using battery power or usb).

Any ideas?

does taking a picture from within onenote work in the new build?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cottinghamm:
I posted these test results elsewhere but they are here for reference. I am very interested in the Radio Resume issue, it is probably the cause of all my problems & would account for the issues in my testing:

I have already posted about my lack of success with new ROMs & Radios so I downgraded to o2's release software as per their web site. This installed an AKU2 ROM with their extended ROM & Radio 1.09.

My test was simple, could the Exec manage a whole day without dropping a call, with push email on & without having to be reset. Simple when at home & local travel - it worked well.

Travel into London on train, tube trip to work. Another tube trip to a meeting. Return tube trip to train station, train home. By the time I got home the Exec was still happily picking up email & had not had any phone calls dropped. Active Sync showed a couple of times during the day that it had tried to sync but could not because the network was down, as it should do on the tube.

So there is a benchmark that O2's software works. No other combination of ROMs or Radios has so far been able to perform this simple test over the short period of one day. I have tried 2 Execs.

One thing to note is that the errors shown in ActiveSync in later ROMs is not the same as in AKU2, AS complains about the network being unavailable but does not seem to recognise this as a loss of network & try again, it gets itself into a total mess which is only resolved by a reset or flight mode on/off.

My conclusion therefore is that the Radio ROMs are probably at the mercy of the OS & applications more than the other way round. If Radio 1.09 can perform this well there is nothing wrong with it. AKU3.5 or WM6 with Radio 1.09 did not work when trying this test, it didn't even work by the tmie I got to work let alone by the end of the day.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
I downgraded my radio to 1.09. And I am using wm6 Jright .06 so far. This radio seems very stable and I have had no call disconnects while speaking as compared to 1.13 and 1.14 radios. So I guess radios are more or less linked with countries as well as network providers and there has to be a compatibility.

Yes taking pictures from OneNote works as well :)

I can't wait to try your ROM Jay.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beginner:
Jwrightmcps: do you think memory mgmt will be improved in next releases? My problem is that when open 2 applications memory goes down and no solved with closing appls, only hard reset.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
Hi Jay,

I was too late to sign up for your ROM evaluation, but I do have something to contribute and some suggestions, based on when I was trying your version .08 and .06 WM6 ROMs.

I had tried PDAViet's ROMs and extracted some useful apps that you might find useful in yours, namely:

Tray Launch

WiFi Bubble Fix by szilamer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295438&highlight=bubblefix

GPRS Icon Fix by szilamer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293375

Start Menu Cleaner: must be placed at Windows/Start Up folder

Soft Key Cab

Start Up Folder Manager

Running Applications

Just let me know if you want to add them to yours.

I am also trying to extract OXIOS HIBERNATE, the old version where we don't see the window showing how much memory we got back. Save's us time from tapping the screen, it just automatically reclaims the memory.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
It is a great idea. Hope -J would screen your request.;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Jjjasjar:
Pagepool increase

Jwright sir. would you be able to increase the pagepool of the next build that is coming out on Monday to 6MBor 8MB. Thank you
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
6MB is sufficient. I tried both 6MB and 8MB, on my test, the 2MB difference is negligible. Plus, we need the 2MB extra memory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another suggestion Jay,

I have a registered version of HandyMenu: http://pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=10093

I am willing to give this too, so it will be a basic program tool in your next release.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ultravox:
Apps are nice, but not for all.

If provided in cab, will be available to everyone interested.

For me , it would the best way to do it.

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
Actually the applications I listed are BASIC utility management that anyone will need on a PPC, thus I think should be already on the ROM, rather than installing one by one, which is time consuming. Plus, they all have a small foot print.

For example:

Soft Key Manager: Who among us does not need to re-assign the soft key?

Running Applications: Who among us does not need to close or see what current running apps are present. Some may say I have this function taken care by another app, but one does not realize, ONLY the built-in running application REALLY closes all open applications.

Tray Launch: Very small foot print, necessary to place an icon on the system tray. If we can't hide the system tray, might as well use it as a launcher.

Start Up Manager: Who among us does not delete or reassign an application to be immediately launched after a soft reset?

Start Menu Cleaner: For faster Start Menu functionality. If there are no recent apps to be shown, the faster the start menu will function, especially after a soft reset or being OFF.

Hibernate: I for one does not need to explain the NECESSITY of this application. Oxios Hibernate should be built-in in ALL pocket PPC to regain some of the precious memory being eaten by the Universal.

WiFi Bubble Fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295438&highlight=bubblefix This thread will explain.

3G Icon Fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293375 This thread will explain.

I hope I explained the ABSOLUTE VALUE of these applications, so much so, it will be a built-in feature. In short, to make life easier for all of us, especially after a hard reset.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ultravox:
Very nice explanation but I keep my point of view.

I do agree hat we need some of those functions, but I prefer to install just what I need, and when needed; Just like a PC OS: as light as possible.

BTW: Oxios APP is really nice, and free!!!

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] StevePritchard:
Sorry, I agree with ultravox - I'd rather have the choice of what I install.

To answer your points in turn:

- I've never felt the need to reassign the soft key

- I use iLauncher for that, and it closes the apps I ask it to CLOSE.

- Tray Launch? I've absolutely no interest in that - iLauncher gives me nice big icons to launch stuff with.

- Start Up Manager? What? Er... I don't launch anything after a reset. I really can't see the point of this.

- Start Menu Cleaner - I like the recent apps, pretty handy.

- Hibernate. Never felt the need for this. If you have an app that closes programs then what does this give you - I never switch my Exec off.

- WiFi bubble fix. I can possibly see the merit in this.

- 3G Icon Fix. The fix is great apart from the fact it breaks all the other notification icons (SMS, Missed call, Voicemail, etc, etc). I've uninstalled it.

The bottom line is that apps like these have different value to different folk - it all depends upon how you use your Universal. I think the best bet is to leave the ROM as clean as possible, and allow people to add their own mods/apps. It only takes me half an hour to completely re-load my universal from a hard reset as I have all my cabs on my SD - it's not a great hardship for people to install the apps they want to keep if they organise themselves properly.

I can see the merit in having some software included, but even the really useful stuff like Voice Commander can be redundant if it's the wrong version - I prefer the UK version, and so I had to re-install that version over the top of the included US version in Helmi's v1.1.

Having said all this, I'm looking forward to the next release from Jay - from the fix list, it does look like it will be a sweet ROM.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] galt:
Agreed 100%.

Jay shows good decision making in what he installs, I'd prefer that he continues to offer a clean install, only adding those apps that solve real problems, not those that enhance. I think most of us really want the cleanest ROM possible, that RAM/ROM isn't easy to come by (can't wait for the new crop of WM devices with 128/256 RAM/ROM!!).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
I like a clean ROM myself, it was just a suggestion on my part.

- I guess I see your point of not wanting to change the soft key if all you want to launch is calendar and contacts. Not having to launch anything other than those 2 is stupidity on Microsoft's part.

- I also use iLauncher, and believe me it does not close everything.

- Sometimes some prefer nothing on the screen, so having the tray launcher instead of a big launcher like iLauncher in the today screen is also a good option.

- Hibernate, if you have not tried Oxios Hibernate, I implore you to do so and you'll thank me in the future... I hope. This does not just closes apps but recovers some hidden memory being eaten by the Universal.

- 3G Icon Fix, Never had the problem you described. Works fine on mine.

I agree that different apps have different value, thus keep it clean.

I too am organized. I too uses CAB files. You said it takes you 30 minutes to install everything, maybe if you only have 10 apps. But I bet you could not do that on my list of apps.

I myself can't wait for the next release, and yes keep it clean if you must.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
YES, keep it clean thus take OFF the BT Keyboard and BT Mouse in the settings too. Because they are customizations too, aren't they. Just another suggestion.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] EastExpert:
Close All doesn't close a few tasks. Like ActiveSync, Phone, etc...

But, it has an option to Forcefully Terminate (hold and wait on item) -- especially useful for Phone which has lots of copies left after you start it... and ActiveSync still can be closed.

Some people think having frequently used programs hanging around in memory is actually beneficial due to lower reactivation times. I probably agree with them.

Actually after I moved from MN|5 to TomTom 6, the question of memory lack and leak is nonexistent anymore. (May be I just run a few apps...)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
Opinions are always welcome, however, the ultimate decision is with the rom developer to ensure how the rom works to the satisfaction of everyone thus keeping all to minimum and smooth running of the OS. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] SpyderTracks:
Personally, I like vanilla as much as possible. I think there are standards that we would all use (such as skype for voip) but it's always best to leave it up to the user. I think the ROM as was in 06/08 was fine.

BTW... been in London for a few days and forgot my charger. With constant phone use, media player use on tubes and live connection over GPRS/downloading emails, battery lasted 3 DAYS!!! That's quite a record for my unit!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dool2002:
I strongly agree with those calling for vanilla editions as clean as possible so installing whatever utilities needed will be totally up to the taste of everyone of us

One more issue

Hi all,

tried search and could not locate any mentioning of the following issue, although it is reported several times on german forums.

settings\system\Remove Programs consistantly comes up empty.

General graphical issues

Hi, mistrix

I wonder if you are experiencing a far more general graphical behaviour as I am, sometimes, the last one being yesterday morming, but unfortunately I cound not find the precise circunstances. It seems to enter an weird state during the night, everything being turned off previously, but the battery runs down violently. Then, when I start it up in the morning I experience a very odd behaviour:

- I cannot start any links pointing to strings starting with ":", e.g. ":MSSYNCAPP";

- Start > settings shows about 2/3 of its usual items only;

- Those usual hyperlinks for "Power" and "Backlight" settings at at the botton of the page to save power in Start > settings > System > Power are replaced by not clickable bigger font words;

- CommManager is somewhat old fashioned, because it shows "Phone", "WiFi", "Blueetooth", and "All Off" (new!) only, all in a single row, and the "Settings" softkey at the botton shows also "Phone Settings".

I had not tried to check for "Remove Programs" in that state, as you have reported though. Perhaps I had found it emptied as you have, then.

Well, I have to soft reset to restore it to service. It happened once, though, that after the soft reset, when the system prompted me for my previously stored password, I entered it, but it simply didn't accept it. Then I had to soft reset again.

Version 2.01.08 was loaded from a previous backup (by SpriteBackup) I made from 2.01.06, which, by its turn, was buit from "zero" (i.e. hard reset without a previous backup).

Jwrightmcps, have you ever seen such weird behaviour before? Anyone?

Thank you very much for your hard work, though! I'll be waiting for your next release!

Regards.

Hi jingtex, re getting Trenotes working on WM6, I emailed support@fannsoftware.com and they quickly gave me a new version that works. Suggest you email them for an update.

I answered my own question on the best Task manager for WM6 & I am now using IndiBar. I needed a small program that shows running apps plus battery & memory indicators & with some tweaking of settings Indibar looks good on my landscape screen. Best regards.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mistrix:
Hi casouzaj,

Fortunately none of your symptoms occured on my installation. Its only the empty list, and this one is persistant from the initial installation.

Other items that I´m still watching is resetting the ringtone (happened once) and being unable to reassign .txt to an editor other than pword, using resco explorers open with check box (worked, but was lost after each SR; works well for other re-assignments. Did it for .txt by directly editing the registry).

@ J: Thanks for this good work, keep 'em coming ;-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mistrix:
As long as usefull apps can be packed into the ROM, they're not eating any of our precious memory. Right?

So why don't add some for "free"? :-))

Hi,

Are you running IndiBar on WM6? I have been looking for an app similar to magic button where it shows the icons currently running and on the background on the top bar.

JW,

I looked through about half of the 88 pages of this thread and didn't see these mentioned yet...

Using 2.01.06 on my O2 Exec:

After rotating a picture in the picture viewer, there is an error when trying to save it.

And, when clicking on a link from inside an e-mail (such as a .jpg or .txt), I get an error message and it won't open them.

I wish I could give you more specifics, but I went back to the factory ROM until your next release. If it's really a problem, I'm sure it will be easy to duplicate.

Sorry if this has been addressed already, just trying to help.

Thanks for all your hard work!

RAR archivator in new ROM

I suggest to include in the new ROM , as a default, the RAR archivator. A lot of archives are in rar format, but the current ROM's include only ZIP and we have to install additional programmes
