Update was painless as usual. I created the AutoInstall folder as directed, but after install it is gone. I am getting the language error too.

So far very fast, exchange seems faster too for some reason. The initial sync happened w/i a few seconds (3000+ addresses)...this normally takes several minutes.

Why did AutoInstall dissapear? Should I recreate them?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
You created the folders on your Storage Card? I haven't heard of the folders being deleted.

Calendar bug is back from the dead (or WMXL 0.1, rather). When Calendar softkey is pressed, the chosen display is overridden and Month view is displayed. That is, if Agenda view is chosen as the default, it will display in Agenda view for maybe 1/2-second and then Month view is shown.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
yes, on storage card prior to install
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
Thanks i have fix this error.

kyphur, you have mail with new release !

Thanks to festermania for testing.

Donation

Kyphur,

I am pretty new to this site and would like to get the link to donate to the XDA Live development. I've been trying to find a link but can't seem to find it. Could you please post it again? Thanks. Also, with a donation could I get access to test out the beta version of XDA Live .30. Thanks for all the hard work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] raix:
Can someone of the Testers say if the SIP Client is working?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tco:
Unless your backing up to the SAME EXACT rom...no don't use backups.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
SIP Client "Internet Calling" is still incomplete and will not be included in WMXL until it is a finished product or someone gets it working with any service.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
Now there are two ways:

First is to go to the Today Themes Page and use the button at the bottom of the page.

New and easier is to use the "Support WMXL Development" Link in my Signature.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sdam:
Sorry if it is considered cross-posting, I don't normally succumb to it, but since it's a different thread for a different rom flavour I think it might be worth trying, before the 1st April release...

So, dear Kyphur, can you think of any reason why the 'AE Keyboard Mapper' app (http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php) will not work with your ROM?

It's absolutely crucial to me, so as to be able to write in my native, Greek, language with a WWE device, like the one I have.

Unless, of course, there's some other and more elegant way of accomplishing the same thing, writing non-latin-based, non-Unicode (it halves the SMS character length) scripts with the hardware keyboard, that I'm not aware of.

[And very many thanks, of course, to you personally and all the others who spend their valuable time for us leechers and what a great community, etc, but you've heard them all before a thousand times me thinks... They still apply, of course, but aren't you tired of reading it?]

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
If it works with any of the WM6 Roms it should work with WMXL v0.30.

I can't say if I'll have time to test it in the next two weeks as we are in the final days before closing on a house so time is short right now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
But how we can test it with any service if it is not included in WMXL.

I not flash other ROM's on my Device for it ....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
There are Cab files to add it in. Once someone gets it working they will have to create more cabs files to finish off the product.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
odd problem with Exchange:

I have it set up properly, but I have a constant error on ActiveSync- It says Attention Required- Your current sync schedule requires a cellular data connection...

I have the connection, I can pull email fine, I can send instantly, but it will not pull email (I have it set to sync as items arrive).

I can sync fine but the error will not go away and I cannot receive email unless I manually sync.

version .20 WMXL worked perfectly.

any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sdam:
Thanks for the prompt (and sincere) reply, anyway.

I've been through the house situation and I know something about it: you're my hero, managing to do all these simultaneously ;)

Now, I don't have a clue if it works with any other WM6 Rom, as it may be obvious from my signature, but I plan to find out soon -and, of course, will let the community know then.

It's just that there are not many non latin-based users who don't have their respective language capabilities built into the OS by their chosen vendor, so no matter how long and in-depth I searched I wasn't able to find anything relevant to it in a WM6 context...

Thanks again,

-Sotiris.

This is not what I was wanting to hear.. I am having the exact same problem with black edition. I will also have to back to 0.20 wmxl because I need this feature to work..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xultar:
Verify your connection settings. I was having the same issue and it vanished. I did something with my GPRS connection settings and it went away.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
I have a connection...I can even send email, pull email and surf w/ IE...just wont push new email to the phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Same here my connection works fine for everything else but activsynch exchange. I was connected for about 30 min earlier but is doing the same thing now..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] outz:
The exchange push/pull feature is working great for me on 0.30 - No activesync errors.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
I just reinstalled the rom and this time the folders on card remained and I did not receive the language error...so I guess this means I am stupid and created the folders on the device the first time. Oddly, I did double check that they were in the root of the card before installing the first time, but I guess I was wrong (it was 2am).

So first issue resolved- SHE (stupid human error)

I am rebuilding settings now to see if this will also resolve my Exchange issues too.

EDIT:

Follow up

Exchange is now working, I did a complete reinstall and all is working great. Must have been a bad install or releated to the issue above w/ SD card folder (though that does not make sense)

HTweakC

after running HTweak and then loading several apps, i wanted to make another tweak to my 8525, so i start HTweakC and get:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richy240:
Me neither - no errors at all; working great, or I would have dropped it like a bad habit (I depend on DirectPush for work). I am having Calendar errors though, which have yet to be seen by anyone else...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] paul_o:
Installed, just running WXML BBC .31 for now and Jetware mobile. Got the same issues with HTweakC - otherwise, all running fine and seems to be a little quicker than .21 (unless it is just wishful thinking borne out of new ROM excitement)

@mrvanx

I have to jump in here even if it is OT. Your guide is a thing of beauty and a great contribution to the forum. Thanks for the effort of putting it together! Thread sizes are going to be reduced by this, as are the number of bricks. :)

It should make everyone's life easier around here.

Thanks!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Yer the one thing I was aiming for (during my over the top moment last night) was to help reduce the ammount of newb questions on installing/configuring.

I am working on a new version of the guide for WMXL v0.3 including the autoinstall stuff.

If you guys on here think I should wiki-ize the guide then I will give it a go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] PhonePhun:
Sorry to go OT a bit

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this. I have read so much here in the forums and wiki that alot of this stuff is spinning all around my head and I have bookmarked so many threads and words of advice. I really needed a step by step to help me overcome my fears of any upgrading even though I did the AKU 3.3 upgrade, I really had not read enough at that time. I'm sure alot of people will appreciate it.

@kyphur

I think with this guide I will finally be ready to try WM6 (and a radio upgrade ;) )! Can't wait for this version, it sounds great! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
Go for it, mate! Some of the "guru's" around here produce great stuff, but when someone bricks their phone when they try to apply it, and ask for help, the guru says something like "this is a DEVELOPER'S" forum. If you are too dense to follow instructions...." You know what I mean. It really gets ugly sometimes.

Your guide was really well thought out. A couple of other guys have done this sort of thing, too, and God bless all of you, developers and others, who have the spirit of both sharing your stuff and wanting to make things easier for those of us who need a little help.

Cheers from Florida USA

Ok updated to v0.3, I placed coreplayer and phonealarm in the cabs folder, worked fine.

Put four sound files in MyDevice (so they should be copied to /windows??) and they ended up in MyDocuments on the device (not the SD card)?!? had to manually copy from My Documents to /Windows.

Had some reg files containing my GPRS/MMS settings, these were not imported to the registry.

Not sure if this is a known issue?!

I got all of this working with Vanilla thanks to XDA members contribution! and seriously, changing OS is a pain from reinstall perspective. So your .03 will be great to get back on line quickly!

Kiphur, thanks also to have these pre-tests of your SW organized so that the main crowd like me can benefit from a very clean version or at least a set of patches worked out by the "close circle"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weinson:
I have to concur with the assessment below...the guide is what finally pushed me over the edge into feeling comfortable enough to dive in to the upgrade fray [after reading these threads many times to track, re-track and try to understand the various known issues, fixes, thoughts, risks etc.]

I had previously moved to the "official/unofficial" Cingular ROM upgrade, but that seemed less risky to me for some reason. In any event, using the handy guide I just quickly (and successfully) installed Hard SPL and upgraded my radio .. next up WM6 (an XML flavor) but I will probably wait til this next version comes out in april. Very nice job by mrvanx ... with the snapshots, step-by-step and embedded links to necessary files you provided much appreciated structure and comfort.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
So far so good on this one. This is by far the best WM6 out now! Here's something for someone to try out and see if it's just me or not.

When flashing the phone has finished and you get to the point where you set the time and date, HTweakC kicks in (in the background) and starts installing the .cabs that were put in the autoinstall folder. I only had one .cab in the designated folder and since HTweakC automatically restarts when it's done installing the .cabs, the phone restarted before I could even set the time and date. When it came back from the soft reset I was taken back to setting up the time and date and finishing up the install.

Hopefully that makes sense. Can anyone else confirm this happening on their device? If you have alot of .cabs installing, it probably won't be an issue. But try doing this with only one small .cab to be installed and let me know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
Yeah ... Having a GPRS connection defined and working is one thing.

Sharing it nicely between few different applications is another.

I believe the root cause is the same as with MMS settings I am ( was ) having - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1172421#post1172421

The solution may be as described in the unwired4's post I quoted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
Hi

you have to copy your files to \Storage Card\AutoInstall\MyDevice\Windows

then this files will be copy to \Windows folder (i hope).

Registry Import:

Support only for REGEDIT4 and REGEDIT5 Files.

At the moment it supports only String and DWord Values for import.

Exchange ActiveSync Issues

I encountered this error on Friday for the first time, after running WMXL 2 successfully for several days.

It took me a while to figure it out, but I eventually nailed it down to a CAB I had installed last thing Thursday night that provided my carrier's settings (Cingular). For some reason this screws up the data connection for Exchange DirectPush (everything else was working).

The only thing I could do to resolve it was reflash the ROM and enter my data settings manually. Exchange DirectPush is now working again beautifully. But I didn't get to bed until 4:30am on Saturday after fixing my 8525!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
Since working out my earlier issues this version is awesome!!

Thanks for a very fast and stable solution.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
What? Are you saying you have all those apps installed???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
I am on vacation in Orlando Disney with my kids but I had time tonight to install and will give it a work out throughout the next few days. So far look great and FAST!

Initial comments/issues:

I see two shortcuts in Programs for AS Remote Display and one for CE Remote Display. Aren't these the same programs?

The Auto Install works great, I do not have files or reg tweaks that are not made into CABs so I made all the directories as instructed anyway. The cabs ran fine with one hiccup. Some of the cabs require a final Ok screen to complete the cab setup. Those froze the screen but not the progress, but I figured this and was patient and it did install all and finally reboot, Patience helped me, but many will think it froze the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] doul39:
so far so good!

I never set the Owner Name, i don't see the point since the first thing i will do if i lose my phone is to do a remote wipe. But i guess i will enter my name so fit4cat works. Thanks for the great program, I love it! :)

Fit4CAT request

Hi BongoUser,

Any chance there could be:

- an option in fit4cat to copy our Owner Information and Carrier Connection registry settings to the AutoInstall/Registry folder so they will automatically reinstall after flash?

- an option in fit4cat to enable/disable the 8525 Keyboard Fix?

Much Thanks,

Tim

The only drawback is the skipping of letters sometimes in the messaging application. But that happens on all the WM6 roms - and I have tested them all.

Very good work I must say!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
I have a question for the panel here concerning GPRS/MMS settings. A foolproof solution is going into the WMXL v0.3 upgrade guide.

I understand there are cab files out there for certain networks (tmob cingular etc..) however there are many people who cannot locate a working cab file for thier settings.

So heres the question: Are the reg keys in WM6 (especially WMXL) the same as the ones in WM5 (AKU 2.3 or 3.3) where these settings are recorded??

If so then the reg import function of HTweakC WMXL edition is a gem!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
The CAB I made is a backup of the reg entry of a Cingular Settings. The other option was an XML file, but I didnt go that route since I was lazy. The problem with the Reg entry way we are seeing is the Exchange settings are messed up since I pulled the reg keys from a device that does not use exchange. So if you do not use exchange you never see an error, but those that do require a key to be changed but I do not know which one yet. Also sometimes the username/password do not stick from the reg key. The xml method will work better and I will get around to it for Cingular.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] y2whisper:
If so which keys have the settings in them? (so i can export them as there are no cab files for Rogers)
