Any possibility of getting the VOIP calling back in the ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] G.D. Sullivan:
OK, so can we recap...

:confused: so I don't have to read 90 pages of thread?

1) is windows mobile 6 black based on an offical release of WM6?

2) If I download this and install it, and I need to hard restart, what will my phone revert to?

3) Where do I get the program and how do I install it?

4) I'm on my second cingular 8525 (just got it after white screen of death) and does anyone have any 8525 success stories with this load-up?

5) Why would I do this?

6) What will it do to the other software I already have installed?

7) Will everything still sync with my XP Desktop?

Thanks for the feedback!

-G, the NOOB
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
Why not read the 90+ pages, we did

1) No, the next version should be official tho

2) If you hard reset, you will get this rom

3) Read the first post or read the 90+ pages for other mirrors

4) Some have had white screen, but if you use the latest hardspl you should be ok. You have to read about it tho

5) your decision

6) You will loose all apps and will have to reload them

7) yes

VOIP will be offered as an additional CAB installer developed by walshieau.

It will not be intergrated in the ROM as many dont use it, so why waster valuable ROM storage space.

Cheers :)

Sorry mate be you really need to do some reading. My signature tells you that I have a Softbank X01HT. It is in fact a Hermes 200. Imate Jasjam is a Hermes 100. A little bit more reading of the XDA Wiki will tell you that the guts and specs of these phones is the same with slight external appearance differences. RTFW champ!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fiendz:
nooooo lol myself as I'm sure many other people don't use LIVE so if its a significant amount of storage space please consider following the trend of having it as a cab file for those that want it.

Hi Jasjamming and walshieau, when do you plan to release this VOIP cab? With WM6 Black 2.0?

Thx,

ps. Keep up the great work :)

Update:

Scratch that, just saw your post on the other thread, so I'll wait for 2.0...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] munky^^:
Got a weird problem with Windows Live (Messenger). I installed Opera and had some oddities - i think Opera crashed, and I had to end-task some stuff and restart. At some point Windows Live stopped working - when I tried to start it it just brought up a tiny window with a red error-x and nothing else.

So I uninstalled it and thought I'd reinstall - didn't work, failed during installation of the cab on the phone with 'installation of windows live.cab unsuccessful' after aout 2 seconds of the installation message.

So i thought I'd re-flash WM6BE, which I did and reinstall Windows Live

But after the reflash, installing exactly how I did initially I get the same error message - after a couple of seconds after the start of the install I get the same error as above.

:confused: :confused:

Thanks for any help
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
Nope, LIVE is staying in there, it came with the OS, not added by me.

If i make it a cab installedr(hard job as there are so many frikken files and reg settings) then everyman and his dog will use it on other releases. Now:

1) i dont have the time to remove it

2) its a full official, not beta, and I cannot risk it being distributed

If you dont use live, then dont click on the program or remove the LNK from program files.

If you dont want it at all, then dont install the ROM.

I dont have all the time in the world to cater for everyman and his dog. I work full time, support a family full time and do this in my spare time, usually during the night.

I hope you appreciate it. if not, install another ROM.

Why don't we let him finish HIS ROM instead of bother him with so many requests and questions, so he can finish it ??!!!

Then we install it try and if somebody do not like it...well there are many fishes in the sea and there are many ROM's online (I doubt any nearly as good as the one I run now):D

Right on the nail! The man does us all a favour, he is not obliged to share his work with us. I figure these chefs cook for the love of it & give up a hell of lot in quality time for these roms! Give them a break else cook your own & see if you can do better!

These LAZY Noobs are beginning to irritate the crap outa me.....like "I don't have the time to read 90 pages" Geez Louise! we've read thousands of threads just to get here & they wanna shortcut?

ActiveSync no longer working!

I upgraded ROM to v1.2 and the activesync no longer works. I've uninstalled/reinstalled and cannot get 8525 to connect. I'm using AS4.5. Has anyone worked thru this issue? Here is my unit:

WMVI-1.2

SPL 1.30

R 1.16.00

(I know, I'm trying to get to SPL 1.40 and R 1.38 but can't get AS to work)

VI on 8525

After the first 5 pages of "hurry up hurry up" it got old.

I was wondering what the source material of this WM6 is? Is it developed from a WM6 beta into a custom version, or is it more accurately portrayed as "WM 5.5, an independent production"? Most of what I've seen on M$ site regarding the development direction of 6 is a big yawn, but this looks really cool, so I'm considering it. I just don't have another $500 if my 8525 eats it and goes brick, because I know after this Cingular is gonna have a big laugh if I need support.

Also, is there a way to back up my current ROM or is there a version of WM5 out there as a ROM in the event I need to "roll-back in case of critical system failure"?

Thanks for the info!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
you ask too many questions without reading posts, but anyways welcome to XDA developers.

You know yourself that WM6 is not yet released therefore all WM6 releases to date has been based on BETA's.

I assure you that you wont brick your device if you upgrade your OS. Just be careful and ensure that you have Oli's HARD SPL installed.

Be careful or radio upgrades coz if things go wrong you will **** things right up.

Things will change soon.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] texasagent:

Thanks to all contributors. The SPL 1.30 does not seem to work and causes the white screen issue. I went back, upgraded the SPL to 1.40 and then re-flashed the WMVI-Black v1.2 and everything works! Hope this helps the others facing this problem.

Jas, I am still having issues getting WM VI Black tethered with Mac bluetooth PAN. As a noob (been a member and prolific reader for many months though) I have read thoroughly on this forum and elsewhere and it seems that some OS and versions (Cingular AKU 3) allow PAN tethering in OS X 10.4.9. but there are no explanations as to why some versions work and others do not.

Does anyone know WHY this cant be done with Black 1.2?

Will this be solved in the full WM6 release - aka Black 2.0?

Hi JJ hope your having a good weekend with your fine lady!

Was just wondering if it would be possible to have the add-on .cab's as windows installers?

As a long time PDA user; LG Phenom Express, HP Jornada 720, Compaq iPaq 3970 (Pocket PC 2003 upgrade), HP iPaq hx4700 (WM5 upgrade) and now Psion NetBook Pro and T-Mobile MDA Vario II. It's always bugged me that there was never a universal install path for developers to use so I've always wanted .cab files to install from however after a hard reset or reflash there's nothing more satisfying than seeing all your programs reinstalled for you on first resync and if all files could be neatly installed to say 'C:\PDA Program Files' and be kept well away from the main system files I would love to use this system again as it was intended...;)

P.S. Expect a couple of development donations over the next couple of months. I keep paying for upgrades but have never found somewhere where the development continues and is customised for the users to the extent that BE and the other ROM's at XDA are well worth the investment!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] irresisti:
I have the same thing. It must be something in the BETA that disabled Live after some time. I did not install nothing and today I wanted to use Live Messenger but I also only get the small error box with OK in it.

Maybe other people have this problem to. Or they are getting them now. Im GMT+7 so others might follow.

Anyways to JJ.... I love your ROM. It's the best thing I have ever had on my Dopod 838 Pro. Great job and looking forward to the new BLACK 2.0!!! :rolleyes:

HTC BH M100 Problems

Hello,

first of all I'm sorry if this has been somehow answered or mentioned, a search in this thread didnt bring any results.

I have WMBE 1.2 and with some pieces of software installed. It works acceptably, although I feel it works worse than WMBE 1.1, but maybe it;s just because I have a lot more software installed on 1.2.

Anyway, I have just bought an original HTC BT handsfree called HTC BH M100 and it doesnt seem to work too good with my TyTn. Pairing and everything went perfect, but all persons complain that they cannot hear me clear, my voice is very very interrupted when I use the handsfree. I tried to SR the TyTn, repair the devices together, but same result. Also, the handsfree works flawless with a Motorola phone, but not with its sister-device HTC TyTn.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gtmaniak:
Basically, I just went on a search to find a quick little program to allow me to do a "Press and Hold" on more then just the PTT button. AEButton is what I found, and it's more then was I was expecting. It makes EVERY button have the option to do 4 different tasks...

Single Press

Double Press

Triple Press

and Long Press

AEButton Home

I also found Double Launcher on Handango, which appears to be exactly the same button function. I don't know which of the two that is the original, but I can tell you AEButton works great and may have more extra commands... And according to Handango, the newest version for AEButton was on 3/5/2007 and Double Launcher's newest version is 2/19/2007

Here's Hanango's description to AEButton:

Extends functionality of hardware keys on Windows Mobile devices.

It allows you to:

* Intercept almost any standard button: application buttons, WM5 SoftKeys, Volume slider, Enter/Action and even Red/Green phone buttons;

* Distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and 'long');

* Remap each of the keypress events to virtual application button (assignable via standard system settings dialog) or directly assign one of the built in actions.

Current set of built-in actions:

* Run any application with optional command line parameters

* Emulate keypress of Enter (Action)/Esc/up/down/left/right keys

* Emulate standard application buttons (calendar/contacts/etc)

* "Virtual Application Button"

Being specified as keypress action, "Virtual button" appears in standard Start -> Settings -> Buttons setup dialog and may be assigned here.

* Volume up/down

* Emulate Soft Keys

* Close (terminate) active application

* Switch next application

* Alt+Tab (switch between two last applications

* Built-in Task Manager with charge level / memory summary info. Task manager may be operated with directional pad (up/down - choose application, left/action - switch to, right - terminate) or finger/stylus

* Ok/Close

* Start Menu

* Switch Display Off or On. Once you switch display OFF you may turn it back ON by the same keypress event or simply pressing Power On button.

* Switch BlueTooth / WiFi Off or On.

* Vibration mode Off/On (WM5 only)

* Rotate Screen

* Go Online / Terminate connections / Trigger Online mode

* Power Off

* Soft Reset

* Switch to Today screen

* Clipboard operations: Select All / Copy / Cut / Paste

* Clock display

* Memory Monitor

* Battery Monitor with uptime forecast and voltage/current/temperature info

* Pop-Up menu with most important actions and command line parameters support

Flashing 1.2 and SPL Version question

Having read the posts in this thread, I upgraded by SPL to the newest version, but then noted that when I loaded Black 1.2, it downgraded my SPL? With many apologies for asking this, do I need to flash 1.2 differently to maintain the appropriate SPL (i.e., 1.35 or higher)?

Thanks.

P.S: Okay, I found the guide for new SPL and flashing 1.2. Apologies for the "newbie" question.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jaymojones:
Man, I'm loving this rom!!! It has been very stable. I have flashed every newly released rom on here and I have to say, I think this is the best so far. BB Connect is working lovely with this rom! I just wish there was a way to use BB Connect and surf the web and/or use MSN Live at the same time (since you can't send or view attachments with BBC :mad:) I'm loving JJ's and Kyphur's roms. I am looking forward to version 2 and comparing it to Kyphur's upcoming release.

JJ, you might be right when you say "Once you try black, there's no going back"

Great work and much appreciated

Vendor vs. WM6 ROM

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but if I flash a vendor's ROM (e.g. Cingy 2.06) then flash let's say Black 1.2 or 2.0 (when it's available) will I have Cingy running on WM6? Said another way, is the WM OS version inextricably linked to the ROM? I'd like to try one of the WM6 flavors while retaining some of my vendor-specific functionality, e.g. CV, working camera software, etc. I'm not worried about re-setting my network configurations, either through a CAB file or manually, I just don't want to lose some of the "branded" functionality, especially the camera software.

I've read and re-read the wikis, many forums, flashed the radio (without having to re-install apps!!! :D ), updated to Olipro-1.40 etc., and I haven't seen anything addressing this type of customization.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boz:
When you run any rom upgrade it will delete everything on your pda and replace it with a completely new operating system, such as the one in this thread. The main functions like the camera are kept of course, but if you liked some of the other applications on your Cingular that will be missing on this rom, you will have to add these by cab files or create your own extended rom with everything you want to your tastes in that. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Surobrain:
Vendor ROM vs. WM6

Wow, you are quick Boz!!

OK maybe this is a Cingy question, but let's say I flash Black 1.2 or 2.0 and assume that I'll lose my camera software, since I'm not seeing the camera app on the Ext ROM as a CAB file and it's not on the original install disk, I'm guessin' I'll need to find this app or other camera software to make Black work for me?? Where does the camera software live??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boz:
Any hardware built into your phone, e.g. the camera, buttons, keyboard, screen etc, etc, will always have software installed for it in an operating system rom upgrade, this is inbuilt into the rom and is going to stay there even if you have to hard reset. The rom chefs make the roms for the masses it is not like buying a tailor made suit!

There will only be minor fixes needed and these are usually things like a button might need remapping or you might want Microsoft Messenger as this was not included in the rom. All the answers you need and the cab file fixes can all be found after a bit of searching.

I have been on this rom since its release and I can honestly say I have had no major problems, only the usual teething problems which I have fixed with some searching and remapping. :)
