Actually thats not completely accurate. Yes, the files are there in the rom and can't be removed, but you can put new versions of the files on top of them (Windows Mobile will use the one in regular Storage intead of the ones in the rom). If you delete the ones in regular storage, then you are back to the ones in the rom (and you can't get rid of those, which sometimes can cause conflicts).

As ariebart said, just install the 10 button CommManager cab and you will be fine. Or you can just do the registry entry change if you don't need the black theme one.

Cool. thanks. Also has anyone also been having trouble sending MMS from their 8125? I have gone through Cingular and setup the phone exactly has they say. I've been on the phone with them for lik 4 hours and they couldn't solve it. I've tried going back to the original cingular rom and that still didn't work. Am I missing something? The message just try's to send and then says it will try again later and eventually fails. I don't know what else to do or why it's not sending. Everything is perfect. Suggestions anyone?

Doesn't V2 support the "Flight" control? At least mine seems to work... My phone, bt and wifi buttons would become disabled when I hit the Flight button.

All I did was edit the registry...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Ebrecht:
V2??? What is V2. I just installed this custom faria Wm6 Rom but I don't have a 10 button com manager. Is there a new Rom out, and where?

Also Does anyone know if there is a better MMS Composer out in the market rather than Acrosoft? The MMS that comes on the 8125 is crap and there has got to be another one. Anyone know of any and where to get it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
If you have downloaded the link fro the first post, you should have the 10 button by default.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Ebrecht:
OK I finally got the 10 Comm manager to work. It didn't show by default at first so I had to edit the whole comm manager registry and now i have the flight button.

Also has anyone noticed that when you modify what is show on the today screen that it doesn't refresh the show the changes and that a soft reset has to be done for the changes to take affect. Like if you want to remove the Windows live search bar from the today screen and you click ok and go back to the today the search bar is still there. Like it doesn't refresh. Only after a soft reset do the changes then show.

Sounds to me like you have a third party ap causing the issue with the Today screen. I haven't had issues like that, and Crossbow Reloaded is built off of this. If you are running X-Button 1.5 there are issues like this with updating the Today screen
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Ebrecht:
Ya I kinda figured it had to have been a third party app so I checked them one by one and it was X-Button 1.5. So i just uninstalled it and kept the default v1.0

Hello all,

After cooking and installing my " Faria ROM " accordingly with the procedures in first post everything went ok.

EXCEPT the "Battery Meter" and/or USB charging. I'll explain:

Handheld "thinks" that its USB conneted, meaning that the "charging icon" is always present even when I plug out the usb cable.

In Start > Settings > System tab > Power

Main batery: Unknown

Batery power remaining bar: no info / white

I have A G4 Prophet

Please note: I've been browsing in wiki and forum, made some searches, couldnt find anyone with this issue.

Any ideas?

Note 2: My first post, I am very glad to be one of the xda-developers user :D

Thanks in advanced,

Luis
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] aitzindari:
Hi Luis. You are in the wrong thread. This one is for the WIZARD, and so it is the FARIA ROM found in the first posts. So DO NOT install any ROM that hasn´t been designed for your device because you can BRICK it. Check this one out : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=308266 .Regards

Hi :)

I guess I should be reading more carefully instead of a diagonal line with my eyes.

Yes you are right, the newbie here made $#%!"#&, so I guess I will try PDAVIET's Rom

Thank you very much! Lets see if I can follow How2 with no issues...

you know what bugs me?

I just read a post where someone asked for the addresses. He was flamed for doing it. Well, I have the dang tutorial. Sure the addresses are in the PICS. Well the link to the dang pics is on FARIAS DESKTOP! Some of you senior members need to cut peoples a little slack. You know who you are :)

By the way, GREAT rom Faria. It is absolutely the best I have ever used, hands down. Keep up the good work!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Check out the Wiki entry I've started for this kitchen, it has the addresses and pretty much step by step instructions for basic running of the kitchen (I haven't had time to do more detail yet, too busy with work, home, and Crossbow Reloaded)...

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FPRK_Cooking_Instructions

Yes, the Faria rom in this kitchen is REALLY good and stable. I give all credit to Faria for overall how stable my cooked rom is due to the fantastic base its built of of...

BTW: I highly recommend taking this rom from this kitchen and using the tools in the rompacker kitchen. I haven't figured out how much it saved for sure, but I know I'm gettng close to 2MB more stuff into my rom now, purely with those tools. You have to do a little more than just move this rom over and I can provide instructions if others are interested. But I use that method now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
If you look the link says the correct link but the link points to the old file!!! that is not our fault that it is all wrong!!! But still This information is in the PDF, Wiki and about 7 times in the 13 pages!!!

Need i say more!!! It is not hard.

It really bugs me when people ask the same thing and then some one comes along ans say

oh poor guy you leave him alone and stop being a bully!!! There is no bully here, but we are getting sick of saying the same thing over and over again!!! If you look back i have saied the address like 2 times!!! And I am not the only one. If some can not read, they should NOT be flashing a phone with out a grown-up

Anyone knows what's the real AKU of Faria's base ROM? Not the one set in the registry (HKLM\System\Versions\Aku)

And how did he come up with ROM 2.18 version?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
He had the Rom about a year before it was "Leaked" so it the number that came with it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
The actual AKU of this ROM is non-existent. This ROM release is Dogfood which is M$ codespeak for a ROM that is on a device which was not designed for it. It is an original WWE ROM no doubt, but the AKU number is found in the x-faria settings package in the kitchen and not in the core of the ROM. AKU's (Adaptation kit upgrades) are only found on official manufacturer ROM's.

As for the 2.18.0.0, that is only changed by hex editing the nk.nbf or the os.nb. My guess is that the ROM may have come with that number from the device mfr.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] masr1979:
I got a little simple question, though, in all honesty I haven't been able to figure it out.... How the hell do you set a default homepage before you cook a rom? I can't find a registry setting for it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Rcas:
I just cooked my first yesterday and it was very simple even without reading the pdf. Works fast but the only hitch is when WiFi is on IE crashes when it tries to go to a webpage. This problem doesn't occur when i connect using the GPRS connection. I'm only about halfway through the thread at the moment though so maybe i havn't gotten to it yet?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr. Baltz:
I got this ROM to load on my 8125 no problem. The only problem I'm having now is that I can't get my storage card to be recognized by the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is not working and how to fix it?

3 issues

hey folks!

1) sms problem, it only occurs when my sms is gonna be more than 2 seperated sms, after I have exceeded 1 sms it is stated (2 messages), now the issue: after I have exceeded 2 sms it is shown (5 messages) ??? that wouldnt be a problem, but sms drafted like this never reach the addressee!

2) i am using the RK version of Faria's WM6, but nevertheless i have switched the regional settings to German, but dates e.g. in the file explorer etc. are still in the wrong format 5.31.07 instead of 31.5.07

3) I have been trying to install an individual keyboard layout for a couple of hours. Well, I read that the msim.96.dll.0409.mui has to be replaced but there is not such a file (yes, i can see even all hidden files etc.) - therefore I simply copied the file in the directory but assumingly nothing has changed anything. The only files i've got are msim.96.dll and msim.dll - and of course they are in the ROM, means no overwriting or deleting possible. Probably I gotta add anything to the registry to refer the keyboard to the new file msim.96.dll.0409.mui

Maybe (2) and (3) are linked?

Thanks a lot in advance!

any word on v3?

I noticed we havent heard from Faria on this thread for a month now... Does anyond have news on how v3 is coming along? Just wondering what to do with my wizard over the next few weeks, dont want to spend time cooking, dialing in and pimping it out just to get eclipsed a few days later by a new major refresh like what happened last time. Not that I'm complaining...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] matthijst:
I know this is a 'final' version, but does anyone know if there's a big difference between this ROM and the Faria WM6 2.18.0.0 version from a month or 6 ago?

Is it worth the hassle of upgrading again?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
The rom in this kitchen is a Vanilla version of "the real thing" rom that he released before this. The plus of this rom is that it has fixes in it that were found in "the real thing", and with it in an easy to use kitchen you can "roll your own" pretty easily.

So overall, they are the same base. "the real thing" is loaded with apps already, but has some bugs (if you are running it and have those tweaked out, then I don't know if there is that much difference to this "fixed" version).

Hey guys has anybody noticed this? In the OEMDrivers folder if you look at the rgu you'll find this entry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Camera

under that entry you'll find a key called "SensorType" which has a value of "0" right next to the key there's an explanation "0 indicate no camera, 1 indicate 1.3MPixel sensor, 2 indicate 2MPixel sensor" so I said well the wizard has a 1.3mp camera so let me change it; personally I haven't really used the camera much, but I remember the pictures were really bad no matter the lighting or whatever. After changing that, however, I notice my pictures are coming out fairly better which is a good thing. Now don't me wrong it's not a world of difference, but there is definitely some improvement.

I was thinking of trying out the wing's camera driver and changing that option to see if it will work on the wizard, if I get around to it I'll let everyone now how I fared.

storage card problems ??

g'day

last week i took the plunge and flashed my k-jam (wizard)

with faria's rom and i have now noticed that the camera will not let me store my photos on the storage card ?

also when i go into memory settings it always has bluetooth selected even if i check the card and it sees it but if i exit and then go back it again shows bluetooth (may not be a problem, i just thought it was weird)

i am sure it was not like that on wm5 tho

so is there a way to save m pics to the storage card by default ?

geoff

p.s.

thanks for a great forum with great help. without this forum i would never have played with my k-jam
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
You've played with (and turned on) the Bluetooth Explorer. The Camera app can't handle that there is more than one option for places to store the files (it assumes only Storage Card would be available so Bluetooth shows up since its first and not your Storage Card). You need to turn off BT Explorer (done through the comm manager) and then you can choose Storage Card. After you choose it, you can turn the BT Explorer back on if you want. There are a few other apps that have this problem too (don't remember which though)

When flashing always get communication error

I installed the kitchen. Updated the options.xml. Then I installed the mum keyboard in the oem directory. And changed the CID in the options.xml in the mum keyboard directory.

Then I build the ROM. Still in the there is some confusion how to fill in the nb2nbf utility. In the pdf is stated fill in what you like to be included in your rom. What should be included? OS, Extension ROM, IPL etc etc..

If you check them all the translate process complains that you have to fill in the filename. What is the file name for the GSM part or the CID or .....

In the pdf file is only mentioned to use flash.nb0 for OS. What for Extention Rom etc..

Once I have the ROM I start flashing. After between 3 and 17% I get an communication error.

Then I have to reboot the PC and I am able to flash an original t-mobile rom.

Please help!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tsuioku:
The other options or there if you want to add other *.nb files such as GSM, splash screens etc. (which are outside the scope of this thread). For the time being, all you need to do is select the OS option and leave all the others unchecked.

Thank you so much FARIA for your great posts and releases. I'm using your Kitchen, and I have nothing but all the good to say.

Though, i have a few questions. I understand that making the Rom by using the CreateROM.bat file makes it so much easier. But, I would like to know what exactly hapens when we execute CreateROM.bat.

why do we have many seprate folders like SYS, ROM, flashrom, Tools?

i know that we can use the OEM folder for adding packages.

i also know that the Tools folder has all the programs ndded to make the rom.

What is the SYS folder? what does it do?

What is the ROM folder? what does it do? Can we change the file Flash.nbo? if we can, how is the final ROM affected?

Thanks again for all your support.
