Ahh... variety truly is the spice of life. This looks like a nice package. I'll try it and post my thoughts on it. Thanks Jas!

Theme

Hey Folks!

Would someone be so nice to post the dark Theme (TSK FILE). The Theme is such as beautiful! I'm bored of installing every WindowsMobile6 Image to test it.

Thank's so far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RabanJr:
Nice pakage.

A couple of things:

1. There is a line of pixels at the very top of my screen that contrast with the rest.

2. The "Black" Today screen does not look like the one on your post.

Still a very snappy rom and a nice combo of apps.

Thank you

Allan
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
Ok, that line of pixels at the top, 1 pixel wide and blue in colour is the battery meter. Tap the meter with your stylus for the option menu. You can configure the meter how you want as well as customize the colours for various battery % levels.

In regards to the theme, just reselect it in the TODAY option in settings. for some reason the background image does not show up when freshly hard resetted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] agovinoveritas:

...so Vanilla based or LVSW based ROM?

Regards,

Primoz
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
partially LVSW based,

LVSW is better than vanilla but needed some fine tuning as it was slower as compared to wmxl0.2

many customization were removed/optimized from LVSW fas well as many reg hacks were applied for performance (currently undocumented)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimsaturn:
Congrats on your first bake that I know of. loading right now. new I woke up in the middle of the night for something. But seriously I am thinking we need one day a week which ROMS can be released to prevent people from having to flash everyday of the week.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:

Hello,

Why is the subject called [CLOSED BETA]? I can't download the file anymore. Is it removed? Is there a problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gerhardkorf:
Yes, I agree that I did not read that part for some obscure reason. But I'm still looking for the original HTC version of Voice commander (Or voice dialer) I guess it is Cyberon but cannot be sure.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
A completely stand-alone Cyberon Voice Dialer (as provided in many HTC Phones) is included in the WMXL Extras Package.

Blackberry Connect 2.1.2.31

Anyone have this running on Black Edition 1.1...any reason it shouldn't work? It's doing OK on WMXL 0.20...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spon:
please help!

Thanks for the great ROM. 3 quick questions.

1. Is there a fix for the Daylight Savings Time? I'm 1 hour behind where I should be (Los Angeles) after the new ROM.

2. My keyboard mapping is off (Cingular 8528). Is there a specific fix for this ROM or should I just search for a generic 8525 fix?

3. I can't get my keyboard backlight to work at all.

Thanks!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcsegeek:
I'd like to first say thanks for cooking such a clean ROM. I've got it installed on my 8525 and it's running well. (a day and a half). I do have one nagging issue kinda...while I've setup everything for direct push email just fine...the issue is that when I start a manual sync from ActiveSync on the phone it runs and completes just fine...but it always shows the "Attention required" message...and clicking this message brings me to another message saying..."Your current sync schedule requires a cellular data connection. Please set up a cellular data connection as described in online Help or change the sync schedule." Gee...that's funny...I must have just been imagining things when it just synced with my "cellular data connection" manually started.

Other than that though...it has been a fairly smooth experience your ROM...THANKS AGAIN!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kikouyou:
Anybody experiencing lost SD card issue with this ROM?

Thanks

Are you telling me that OS.nb can be flashed in BL 1.04? That's what I had before flashing Hard-SPL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
Yes, it just happened to me. Didnt need to soft-reset, just killed RescoExplorer process and restarted it and it was there. I actually discovered the issue during an Activesync browse on my card, which appeared as completely full.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
For some reason I can not get this rom to work with my tytn and the apps I usually use. I was able to run both XDA versions,Lsvw (both versions) and 3des versions. But I can not get this version to run with all my apps. It just seems to hang or unable to connect consistantly. It sometime sits on the black splash screen for a couple of minutes or longer after reset. I hard reset, still problems. Reflashed and only reloaded ms voice command and TomTom 6 and still problems even with everything loaded in main memory and no sdcard. I just can't seem to get this to work with my device and apps. And sometimes the front OK button does not work. Bummer..

I have a tytn with Radio 1.38

Running the following in Main Memory

MS Voice Command

TomTom 6

SBSH Pocket Weather

SPB Pocket plus (latest version dated Feb 07)

SPB Diary (latest version dated Jan 07)

It just seems wierd that I can run all the other WM6 roms and not this one
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimsaturn:
I am also having issues with keeping a data connection. I am gonna try to flash the new radio and see what happens. but alot of times it keeps looking.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
I also have Orange M3100 UK. I have tried most of the roms and the best I have found is:

OS: Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition v1.1

Radio ROM: 1.27.00.00 (seems to get the best signal for me)

I have also uploaded a cab file with the Orange UK internet, WAP and MMS settings to apply after the rom update
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Penske MB:
Hi Kyphur,

You probably haven't try this ROM yet. The stand-alone Cyberon Voice Dialer from HTC can't be install in this ROM. Why? I have no idea.

The original dialer is black just like your 1.0 version. After trying to install Cyberon Voice Dialer, it will change the color to original HTC dialer's green and no color on keypad. Also the it will fail during installation.... I have no idea why. It says not permision or something else...

Can anyone provide a Cyberon Voice Dialer that will work for this ROM??

After trying to install Cyberon Dialer, the ROM started to have problem. It will running VERY slow and freeze. I have reintall the ROM few time but still fail..... At end I give up and using 2.0 back.

The only reason I use this ROM becasue it runs very quick. Probably the quickest on among all WM6 ROMs.

Oh well.... If anyone can help. please do!!

Thx in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hidefguy:
I'm having the same problem, I want to use Cyberon Voice Dialer, but it wont install on this rom.

to fix the dialer got to \HKLM\Security\Phone\Skins and change the enabled value back to 0.

Also, this has the same issue with xdalive v2 with programs .exe in programs folder and windows folder.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Penske MB:
I know how to edit the registry, but I have no idea how to fo into \HKLM\Security\Phone\Skins. Can you give me direction?? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hidefguy:
dont know what you mean? use phm registry editor. and navigate to that registry string, change the value, then soft reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] woffoja:
Direct Push

This has been a nagging problem and is being discussed on other posts as well. It appears that activesync wants to use wifi to try to connect to the exchange server - despite you requesting it to use the cellular data connection.

Looking at this post you can see the results of some tests.

There is also a way to fix it with a hard reset (shown in post) - but as much as I've tried it, I can get it to work for any more than 5 minutes before it defaults to a manual sync. I've hard reset a couple of times to fix the problem but still can't get it working. Then I'm back to the whole "cellular data connection" error again.

I absolutely love this rom - but until someone can figure out for sure what's going on here and get a fix for it - it makes it hard to use. I depend on push emails from work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
ok guys,

i will try voice dial and get back to u,

in regarsa to the phone skin, u can enable and siable it throuh HTweakC under programs.

HTML Email

Maybe a silly question. One of the key new features in WM 6, announced by MS should be the possibility to read HTML Emails. Any hints how I can enable this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
the option is under the settings for POp/IMAP accounts.

HTML emails dont work for exchange 2003 servers, only for 2007.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Penske MB:
Thx for the ROM. I have flash at lease 7 times. It was soooo slow until almost freeze before I can finish all applications installation. I have no idea why.

I give up. I have never experience such a problem before. It was running fine foe while and if I power off and on, it shows load engine error!!

anyone experience the same????

Thanks for your message! I will flash my SPV with the software you've mentioned if it works for you. I forgot to mentioned that I'm living in ROmania so I cannot use the cab posted by you with the Internet settings so I will have to set-up by myself. Can you tell me where I can find the Radio ROM 1.27.00.00?

anyone get opera mini to work? seems like on mine i get an error when loading up MIDlet manager. The error says "failed to run image \windows\target.img"??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zomig:
tnsms.exe is missing from this rom, apart from that all is working well so far.

Had to install a few things which is not a bad idea as it keeps things clean.

I do think perhaps the soft key manager that is included in the xdalive version would be useful to add, but then adding it manually is no biggy.

Great work.

Thanks

I experience a camera problem of this ROM. The camera program launched properly. But once the shot is taken, the phone switched to TASK MANAGER. I've checked the button was mapped correctly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] karloe:
The file target.img is missing in the windows directory.

Find the original Isidoro_intent_midlet_manager, and extract all files with a decent archiver.

Rename the 00CAB015.012 to .zip and extract the target.img form it, copy to your device's windows directory and your off.

Blackberry Connect not working yet

I went ahead and loaded WM6BE after a few days of XDA Live 0.2.0. It's great to have the extra memory, and it is faster.

Unfortunately, after doing some research throughout this site, ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=294218 ) Blackberry connect will not work. The WM6BE reports out an OS as: CE OS 5.2.968 (Build 17217.3.3.0) which stops the Blackberry software from connecting. XDA Live 0.2 is modified to report out CE OS as 5.1.195 (Build 17217.6.0.0) - XDA., which allow Blackberry Connect (v2.1.2.31) & GoodLink to work with it.

Any chance we can get a version 1.1.1 that will allow us Blackberry connect users to take advantage of WM6BE?

TIA

Yep I'm having problems with SPB Weather as well... SPB Diary works fine, but I've been having problems with Pocket Plus and Time as well.

I don't understand what it is about this version of WM6 that causes problems with SBP software... XDA .2 worked, as did the Vanilla and LMDS(?) version. Blah!

Currently I am installing each SPB program I have (Diary, Time, Weather, PPlus) singly and soft-resetting to see which ones have problems - and when there's a problem, I have no choice but hard-reset because the system will not boot.

Final Test Results:

SPB Diary:: Works.

SPB Time:: Works.

SPB Pocket Plus:: Doesn't Work.

SPB Weather:: Doesn't Work.

Cannot Connect

What's my problem? I've read through this entire thread as well as a few of the other WM6 rom threads looking for what I'm doing wrong, but I give up.

Problem: I can't connect to the internet with the cellular modem.

Tried:

1) I copied all the latest stuff from the extended rom "Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.06.502.3_ExtRom" and ran the packages by hand.

2) Ran the AutoRun from the above extended rom's package. It doesn't seem to read the 'config.txt' on this ROM, like I'm used to.

3) Tried to manually setup the data connection.

a) Add a new modem connection

b) Name: Cingular

c) Select a modem: Cellular Line

d) Enter the num...: *99#

e) username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

f) Password: CINGULAR1

g) Domain:

"Cannot connect for an unknown reason. blah blah blah"

I've spend about 2 hours this morning searching forums, so I appologize in advance for what seems to be a simple solution, since no one else is having issues.

TIA,

Rob

Are you picking 'Cellular line' or 'Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)'

You need to pick Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)!

Oddly enough, you can't fix it once you screw it up, have to start over.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bacco:
Rob, are you trying to connect using your phone as a modem (Tether), or are you just trying to connect via PIE? Either way, I don't enter a number, ie. *99#, in my settings. Other than the 3G change already posted and no number entered your settings are fine.

If you're looking to tether, I think you need to use Internet Sharing under programs.

If I totally missed your intention, ooops :)

This one is the chosen one!

Here are my two cents regarding this ROM. First of all THANKS for a great looking, fast and stable ROM. I personally like this one the best of all the WM6 ROMS I have tried so far. I like the apps that come with this ROM and the battery indicator program is stunning visually and functionality wise.

I have not come across any bugs besides the one mentioned with the wifi OFF option in the wifi bubble. Otherwise lovely ROM and thanks again!!

OOOOPS! My dial pad is really messed up GREEN and no numbers showing except for white empty blocks. Will try to apply a new skin and see what that will bring.

I installed this skin that is for WM5 but looks good and works! This skin has video calling.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Amlethae:
I don't have SPB Shell but I've determined that SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Weather do not work with this ROM. Could you do us/me a favor and install JUST SPB Shell and try a soft-reset and see if your problem is still happening? If so, then this is another SPB software piece that won't work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rv1nd:
Installed tomtom 6. seems to be running ok..bit quick too.

Also installed SPB Shell. Before soft-reset. I updated the weather and disabled the "show the now screen when device wakes up" in the settings for SPB shell.

Also disabled the update weather automatically.

Restarted OK. ..It may just be SPB pocket Plus causing the problems...about to install that and spb backup too.

I'm also tempted to upgrade Radio from 1.27 to 1.38, purely coz battery consumption is less..unless someone tells me not otherwise in the next 10 mins!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rv1nd:

I just tried installing SPB Weather by itself and turning off the auto-sync feature... didn't help, system still hangs at boot.
