Just wanted to say, great job.

This is the best WMx cutom job build for speed.

I tested it out for a few hours and loved it.

Awesome.

whats the ext rom do?

already have and I tried I think it was 312 and my mda crashed as soon as i set it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ladude626:
I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using the extended rom from Faria's WM6 release as a base but it doesn't seem to work with mUm's WM6. The same extended rom, however, works with Faria's WM6. Is it because mUm's WM6 require a different extended rom base for it to work correctly?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
Do you want me to re-write it with ext rom support built in?

Some problems with this rom- anybody can help?

I have been using this rom for about a day now. It *is* very fast and seems relatively stable,

although I have had some freezes.

Here are some problems I've seen thus far:

1) No daylight savings time so it is stuck on standard time (PST). The posted Microsoft updates

for DST don't appear to work on this WM6.

2) It had a lot of trouble recognizing the t-mobile network at first. It booted up showing

Cingular, and working, although it had to be talking to t-mobile. It also froze several time

when trying to find a network (at first). Now that it is set for a network (the same) this part

works fine.

3) Some remote desktop options send it into neverland. So does playing with the phone network

selection. JUst have to reboot until it works, set network selection to manual and leave this

alone.

4) I've had it freeze on some net accesses, but don't have enough experience to identify

necessary and/or sufficient conditions to trigger this. Also some freezing when trying some

operations in pocket mechanic and, perhaps, sktools.

Main show stopper for use at the moment is daylight savings time. A fix would be greatly

appreciated.

Also, the rapidshare link page doesn't seem to be working now (tried to check it to see if any

updates.

Regards & thanks for the nice rom. dan

Ok, I know im good and all, but I have checked everywhere and cant seem to see a problem with the DST issue you are having. Ill look further into it. Until then, i am going to be posting a new fixed rom with the extended rom enabled and a blank ext rom for anyone who wants to use it. as it sits, still trying to figure out how they broke it. It appears that the config and autorun files are located in the windows directory. Still, ive looked everywhere and dont see how to put it back in and have it read.

Rsvp re DST to nottoosmart

Gee! Thanks for the swift reply. If you can fix this I'd dearly like a link--- the rapidshare page seems to have been deep-sixed and I don't know how to communicate w/o posting an email address. Perhaps you have some ideas on this.

Re dst, I'm on pacific time and have my Wizard mda set to GMT-8 Pacific US with Settings->Clock & Alarms->.

The MDA shows 21:03 and the real time (DST) is 22:03. I tried resetting the time forward 1 hr., but the MDA gets an update from the network (t-mobile). I can use the guest entry and set that to Alaska time (GMT-9), but that will mess things up b/c entries in outlook etc are relative to absolute time and (I assume) the PST time displayed will correct itself when we hit the old DST date (April 1, I think).

I'm pretty literate on these things and have been reading on cooking roms etc., but I don't have the time it would take to try and iteratively debug. My present capability is lightweight hacking of these things, even that is a seductive time-sink, since this is not my day job! ;-)).

Many thanks.

WM6 already has the DST stuff setup. Makes no sense you are having this (I'm not doubting you, just saying that doesn't make sense when its built in). I'm running mUn ROM and it immediately was running on MDT (although with the auto timezone thing set, my TZ switches to -6 instead of -7, but I've seen it speculated elsewhere that it is a combination of the carriers towers not having the right info and how the DST fix was implemented.

For your issue, try switching your timezone to another timezone (like Mountain, or Central) then click ok to exit out and save this (also change your Visiting timezone to be the same). Now go back and switch home and visiting back to Pacific and see if the DST fix happens. I know when you patched WM5, you had to switch your timezone to be able for it to take, so maybe that will get it to wake up for you. Also verify your date is correct ;)

I've setup Gmail's java app in the midlet manager and I had a major slowdown and finally the phone just seemed to freeze / not respond and had to soft reset. Only happened once so far, but I'll be watching this (I was connected to WiFi too).

If you build another fixed version how about putting splash screens in with it? I created a RUU Splash screen for this ROM (HTC page and the black windows over the earth page) that I posted in this thread earlier. I can give you the files if you want them.

Time zone woes

Ok, I tried that and also jogged the zones around pus did a soft reset. Stubborn wizard shows GMT-5 now as 0:28 and pacific as 21:28. It just won't budge.

Only thing I can think of is maybe it wants to show absolute local time instead of DST.

My wife has the same MDA here with WM5 and the DST fix and her unit is showing 10:28.

When I loaded the MS DST "fix" the thing worked right away without having to toggle as you mentioned.

I realize that WM6 is supposed to have the correct DST parameters already in, but thought perhaps the genealogy of this rom might be from a beta that was missing this nuance. Apparently not from what you say.

As mentioned, my wife's phone shows correct DST time so it wouldn't appear to be a t-mobile interaction, although I suppose one never knows. If you have any further ideas pse let me know.

On the hangs, yes, I think all of the hangs were associated with network access in one form or another-- save I had one in the camera... but the MDA was multitasking at that time- I was looking at networks in the comm manager- so it may have been in a network layer rather than the camera driver.

I could set up a temporary throw-away email account so you could set me up with a link when you have a rom-- and periodically check this thread to see when to do so.

Cordially,

java freeze

Same happened to me using the opera applet. If you know how, maybe set the network timeout to a smaller value.

Btw, initial net accesses have seemed very slow, but it is hard to tell where the bottleneck is since so may things can play a role...need controlled expts to be sure. My impressions are that wm5 was much faster net access wise, but I have no controlled expt. I am using the opendns nameservers.

DST continued

johnnylava above suggested that the link worked for him, although the MST DSTdidn't install for me on WM6 (still not sure whether he was using wm5 or wm6).

However on the page he linked to, MS has the registry entries as they are supposed to be with the change. I checked what is in my MDA with this rom and notice that for PST GMT_8 the entries are different after the

.... 03 ->

e.g. 03, e0, 01, 6x-00, etc.

whereas the registry on my unit for PST has

.....03, 3x00, 02, 00, 02, 7x00 (EOL)

Although I haven't tried to convert (nor do I know whether it is straightforward), the difference suggests that the rom TZ entries are not what they should be (unless mine is somehow corrupted- but this seems highly unlikely).

I may try to patch the PST entry by hand to see if this helps. For others, you can compare your TZ with the mentioned link.

Any further ideas most welcome.

Ok, if i am goinna repack this rom, Im gonna do it write. I need a little help though.

From popular demand im putting the screen rotate back on, also applying the camera fix posted by a user.

Anyone else know how to get the TZ config back in the startup on new boot? I want this release to be the last for a while till i can get time to work out a few more kinks. I am also adding the 2.19 radio and the 2 splash screens that were posted here too. Extended Rom will be included but will be blank as I am still working on how to get the extended rom completely re-enabled.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
Have you confirmed this with this ROM. I attempted it and it did not appear to work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] samy.3660:

Not too smart that is a good idea,

and did you find the changes in camera blue speckles, im working on it?

And if you gonna make a rom, dont make extended rom, coz it will be helpful to the shell tool people.

But really, am so glad I got my Wizard when it was still a G3..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I've updated the splash screens. Use these for your repack:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
Will do.

also, I did get the camera fix you posted sammy. Thanks. It actually made a diffrence. Wonder if setting that on the other parts of the camera will effect quality.

As for ext rom, due to the fact that there are a ton of issues with getting it re-enabled, I think im gonna go away from using it. Plus, it will make people like easymob happy. Im still working through a few issues. One of our great users pointed out some missing files to me that I have to find for next release. LOL, Faria's Rom, here i come to strip you apart for ours.

Also, I want some feedback on a few things. I am thinking of including 2 very small apps, that I have seen as popular among all the releases. BatteryStatus and Contacts Backup. Tell me if you want them included.

On a side note, I was informed by mUn that he will no longer be developing on the Wizard side, So, should my next release be under a new thread with a new name? of course giving mUn the credit for all his hard work on the port?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ronroze:
definitely yes on BatteryStatus. as for contacts backup, I find it irrelevant since I sync with my PC at least twice a day :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
Not everyone sync's with pc. Thats one of the things im trying to overcome with this release
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Definetly on BatteryStatus and Contacts/SMS Backup. If you do BatteryStatus, what version are you going to do? If you are doing the Beta, then I wonder if Init_Tray is still needed since the Beta Battery Status can do a systray (and nicer IMO).

A built in registry editor would be nice also (PHM Registry) ;)

I think a new thread might be in order as they are diverging some with what is fixed and what is not. Also would give you control of the initial post where you can update it with current version information and links. Renaming it is really up to you. Let me know if you want different Splash screens (or just updating the text) for it and I can see what I can come up with.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] golfernutnflorida:
Good idea on the ext rom.....

What version of BatteryStatus are you going to put on? I read through that thread and with like 100 pages I cannot read through all that to find out what the newest version is.

Issue with Java GMail

Ok, I have an issue with the Java GMail client on this ROM. Let me preface this by saying I've ran this same client on WM6 MBE and Faria's and this behavior did not occur in those, so its new to mUn's aTRM...

When running the Java GMail client in the Midlet Manager on this ROM, everytime I click on anything, I get the gray page up that reads:

"Gmail" wishes to acces the network, which might use call time. This MIDlet suite is not from a trusted source. Allow this time?"

This makes using Gmail a real pain. In stock WM5, AKU 3.3, WM6 MBE, and Faria's "the real thing" I would get asked this when I did the initial connection, but not get asked again while it was running.

I just realized the updated splash screens I posted earlier today weren't really updated (I didn't name a file right when I was creating them so they didn't get changed in the nk.nbf . I just fixed this and have verified it works on my phone, so here's the latest ones attached to this message.

Also, my next issue... For me, if batterystatus 1.04.200 Beta is installed on my phone and running, when I reset if the USB cable is plugged in, my phone hangs on the 3rd splash screen (or sometimes when trying to display the Today screen). I have to soft reset and pull the USB cord every single time. I've confirmed that if I run BatteryStatus .04.200 (the one without the systray and CPU Scaler) then this doesn't happen. This same thing would occur when I was on WM6 MBE (but does not happen with the Faria WM6 rom). So for me it appears I may have to move back to the .04.200 version due to this.

Ok, a couple of things I found out... Seems with 1.04.200 Beta 2 if I turn on CPUScaler and set some value then this issue goes away (I had never set CPUscaler before as I wasn't sure (and still don't) what it does.

Now, I see there is a 1.04.201 Beta 3. I just installed that version and I can now do a soft reset without hanging at the 3rd splash screen with my USB cord attached and CPUscaler not turned on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
CPUScaler controls the speed your processor goes so that it is not at 260 all the time. This means less battery consumption since it will slow the processor down when not needed and will overclock when it is.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
