This thread is for discussing the Pre-Release Edition of v0.30 of Windows Mobile XDA-Live.

Please do not post requests for the download link, it will not be made available.

I do plan on a public release of WMXL v0.30 on April 1st, 2007.

The Pre-Release Edition was only made available to those who have contributed towards the development of XDA-Live.

All fixes from v0.20 remain. There is no PDF Reader installed.

Changes:

HTweakC XDA-Live Edition embedded! See below for features.

MS Hearts is fixed.

ATI Imageon Video Fix (from AKU 3.3).

Phone SIM PIN Security Pad Skin Fixed.

User-Agent String for PIE & MMS Changed to allow proper detection of Device Capabilities.

Connection Icon distinquishes between 3G & HSDPA.

Set Phone Radio Status to “On” after power off.

Fixed error in Registry Memory Settings from v0.20.

System Files required for PTT support are included.

HTC Recorder is installed and set as the default Recorder for Button 5 Press & Hold.

Sim Manager is updated to Version 5.30.

PHM Registry Editor was removed as it duplicated a function included in Task Manager.

HTweakC XDA-Live Edition (only works in XDA-Live Roms)

A special thanks goes out to Mike at "fit4communication anytime" for this.

We have been honored with a special edition of HTweakC that includes new features to help us get our Hermes configured to our liking after every Hard Reset or Rom Flash!

To use the Auto Install Features do the following:

Create “AutoInstall” Folder in the Root. In “AutoInstall” create three Folders; “Cabs”, “Registry” & “MyDevice”.

If you currently use HTweakC, copy your HTweakC.ini File into the “AutoInstall” Folder.

Copy any Cab Files you want automatically installed into the “Cabs” Folder. For example everyone who has a 8525 should have the WMXL 8525 Keyboard Fix.CAB File here.

If you have any Registry Files, copy them into the “Registry” Folder.

Finally, if you have any files you want copied into your Windows Folder place them into the “MyDevice” Folder.

Now after you install WMXL v0.30 on every Hard Reset these Items will automatically be installed. Note you will get an error if you don't create the folders on your storage card but it won't cause any harm.

There will be an updated WMXL v0.30 Release Version based on your input and including the following:

SlingPlayer Support Fix.

Trimmed OS Rom for extra Storage Capacity.

Possible "Cleaner" version of the Connection Icons (I noticed that the PIN Pad Skin fix caused them to revert back to the older style).

Updates to XDA-Live Edition of HTweakC!

WMXL Supporters (you know who you are ;) ) will get the Download Link at least 24 hours before public release which is scheduled for April 1st.

Thank you again for all of your support in making this Rom happen.

Thanks, kyphur

Just to make sure, before I'll flash - what's the OS version shown ?

Have you had a chance to play around with tadzio's method of gaining free space? Do you suppose you might implement this technique into your next release?

I'll be testing that this week. I didn't want to delay getting v0.30 to the supporters.

The version number of this release will report as 5.1.195 so BBConnect & Goodlink will work with it.

Newbie install guide

Hey people, I went overboard replying to a PM last night and made an install guide for WMXL (catering for settings and etc...)

Since more and more users are heading for the cooked roms section (and specifically for WM6) I can update this for v0.3 of WMXL when it is released!?

Take a peek and see what you think!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kaymut:
restore from 20.1

a trivial question to most I'm sure, but as both roms - WMXL v0.20.1 and v0.30, are of similar foundations, can I restore a backup of v0.20.1 to v0.30?

the back up program being spb backup.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
FANTASTIC! The wiki, though useful is still rather daunting for noobs like me.

This step by step guide should open up ROM flasing to many more....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boz:
I have studied your upgrade guide and I think it is superb, it should save the same questions being asked over and over again about upgrading, which does tend to fill up the rom upgrade threads when you are searching for an answer to other problems.

Brilliant keep up the great work! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stewcp:
I think your answer will be a big fat NO!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SKassam:
It's a great guide and nicely structured. Great job Mrvanx! Is it possible for you to add a section on how to do a ROM upgrade using Vista? I know it's been mentioned in a lot of threads but it would be nice to have it in one place like this one.

Thanks.

Faria, I see you have a new device Tytn..Will you also be building WM6 Rom or assist Kyphur with Version 4?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
im assisting wmxl since the beginning i more ways than people can imagine ;) ...so if a v4 comes to ligth i will supported as i can.

i have no plans at the moment to release my own rom as there is ways of cooking your personal rom now quite easily ,i also have no time these days...but eventually i will release a rom.:)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boz:
With you now! I have not come across this as a stand alone .cab file, you may need to extract it from an existing rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] djstegges:

Found my own solution to the "start" next to the start menu icon -- installed Wisbar Advanced 2.8 using a WM6 theme that eliminates it -- looks cleaner and I've always liked WB for my taskbar.

On my almost-.3 version of XDA-Live, with radio 1.38 installed on my Cingular 8525 I've seen my battery life really improve (twice what I'm seeing on my TyTN with .2 version).

Still no answer on how to get back the RECORD program on my Button 5 push and hold -- seems that installing the Cyberon program overwrites it even though it's in the ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jakaroe808:
Thanks much.. I did find a few of them but finally found the one in the ROM..

Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created

"Resco Explorer" assigned to my RSK is long title to have, so I edited it to "Explorer".

I also exported HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys and importing them during the Autoinstall - works like a charm.

The binary is there, but link is missing.

You just have to create the shortcut to the start menu and then assign it to the button of your choice.

Browse to the \windows, copy recorder.exe

Browse to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, "paste shortcut"

Start - Settings - Buttons

Different ROMs

Hi all,

As far as I could find, there are (mainly) two WM6-ROMS:

- Kyphur's and

- LVSW's.

What is the difference between the ROMS other than some functions?

Why don't you two, Kyphur and LVSW, make one ROM?

If not making one ROM, why not exchanging optins, like 'softkey' and 9-button CommManager?

The reason I wrote this post is because I'm a rookie and do not know which one to choose.

Cheers,

Temba
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
LVSW's initial release was a minimalist one. Just the barebone OS.

Nevertheless now he is adding radios, coding tools similar to HTweakC and posting new releases twice a week :-)

Kyphur always included additional tools and hacks.

Try both, see which one suites you more.

Make sure to have Hard-SPL installed to easy the recovery from bad flash.

So we all have smthng to choose from :-)

Just flashed my Vodafone Hermes unit to 0.20 and it all went beautifully, excellently written guide and well built applications, not a single issue.

However, just have one minor issues to solve?

- Wireless doesn't seem to be working, it switches on but doesn't appear to be scanning, and doesn't pickup any active wireless points?

Any news on when 0.3 is coming out yet? Quite excited, I presume it'll just be a Rom flash now, not radio and bootloader?

Good work guys!

Bit of a problem guys, having successfully setup my phone and flashed everything to a working stage, my phones now got a hardware fault, the SPACE button doesn't work....so its going back tomorrow morning and Vodafone are swapping me replacement via courier.

The problem, I presume they won't be entirely happy about it coming back with WM6 on it? Could that invalidate the warranty? If so can I now go backwards to an old Vodafone ROM? If so how and to which ROM?

Appreciate your help!

p.s. Horrified to find out this morning that Vodafone's replacement phones ARE NOT NEW, they are ALL refurbs...hence why I am now on my third handset, soon to be fourth - each time a new phone is delivered, it comes back with a different fault.

You can imagine, after 6 months all replacement phones will have a really sloppy slideout!!

I just did a search and the question has been asked approximately 20 times in the Hermes Wm6 forum alone about how to fix the problem yet not one answer. I have only just installed Black 2.0 yesterday and am really, really happy except for the user agent issue but i'm not sure i want to go reinstalling everything all over again (i have a lot of apps to install & configure) when WMXL 0.30 is released in a few days for this fix alone.

It would be great to find out what the fix is so we can get it working on all cooked ROM's!!

I'm guessing that this is to change how the browser is detected. By default it identifys itself as a mobile version of IE. You can set the string to represent the full featured IE and get a much closer representation of the page, rather than possibly being redirected to a mobile version of the page
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Puckster:
Thanks for the reply.

The problem here is that with later AKU's of WM5 and all variants of WM6 that i have tried so far (and i'm on my 4th now), changing the user agent string in the device registry actually has no effect. I currently have my "default" string vaule set to "Nokia6630" and have deleted all other user agent strings however the Vodafone Live portal still detects my device as WM6 PIE.

I have seen PAPPL (the poster just above my OP) mention he has the same issue on AKU 3.3 and WM6 as well so i'm guessing its something in the ROM's causing this.

Certificate AutoInstall

@BongoUser

Hi,

I've read this (and every) thread and don't see any answer to this currently.

Is it possible to give HTweakC WMXL edition the ability to auto-install a certificate file? For users who have Exchange server with a self signed certificate (the default for Small Business Server 2k3) there will be no chance of a working auto-config unless the certificate can be installed.

It's no biggy to click on the cert file afterwards of course but considering that I should have no problem automating my Internet access and Activesync settings it would be a really nice-to-have feature.

@Kyphur (message of support tag on the end to avoid pointless posting)

Like everyone here, I hope you're close to a release but I also support your caution. WMXL .20 is still the best ROM available and I've gone back to it repeatedly after trying each of the other recent releases.

Cert issues

I've had a couple of occassions even with Verisign certs where they wouldn't install until I sync'ed with my PC. Once doing so, ActiveSync and Exchange work perfectly and I rarely connect to the PC. (only to add files, music, etc).

Syncing with Outlooks seems to be foolproof when it comes to getting the Cert.

Also, my configuration for Outlook is RPC/HTTPS, so I know the cert is in play. I'm not sure if this would make a difference if Outlook is strictly MAPI, but I suspect not.

HTH
