The default method is that this happens automatically (maybe not as clean as the Nokia way, but it does tend to work that way). But if you are using PIE or Opera on WM6, you tend to first get a message that the connection isn't there and then it switches (or this is what I've noticed). The downside is if you don't have a data plan and think you are using WiFi and it disconnects, you may start using GPRS and run up a bill. This is where the NoData program comes in that is in the Accessories folder. You can use that so that GPRS or WiFi (or whatever) don't get used by turning them completely off (or back on).

I just released this yesterday! ;) I want to give this a few days to see if anything else shows up, and then I'll make another build. Also will poll for ideas.

I was going to give you a special test build with Transcriber in it, but now I can't get a build to run (buildimgfs keeps crashing so apparently some other change has caused this problem). I'm done for tonight, and will try to work on this tomorrow.

I'm using Cingular over here in WA, and found that the 2.19 radio works best (and thanks for the post on your MMS settings!) - but wondered if you're able get the text messages from Cingular when you purchase a ringtone or image (which contain the download link)? It's not so much that I want to purchase, but just that I know there's an issue...:confused: It works fine if I swap the sim over to my 3125.

Also, my MMS still gives me a sync error (even though I can still send and receive). I've triple checked the settings, and they match the Cingular service site settings.

Are you having these issues with your setup? I just flashed the 2.0 BB rom an hour ago, but am curious what you got going.

Thanks,

-Matt

just installed, it is very fast and so far I like it. I really like the new look of wm6 as well.

Thanks for the rom will start installing and reconfiguring now I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Installed te ROM yesterday, till now still no problems, works fast and smooth...

Keep it commin' :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
The only problem I've ever had with MMS was that I used to get Tiny pictures (not full size that were sent). The cab in the 3rd post of this thread fixed that for me (and many others). SMS and MMS come to me fine (no issues with sync errors or downloading) on many WM6 roms (including XPlore 1.1, which I believe in the other thread you said you also had issues with). So I'm really not sure.

I personally never buy ringtones or anything (I ususually just make my own, as its cheaper to buy the entire song for 99cents or less than $4 for a 30sec ringtone. To me thats a scam) so I have no experience with how that works, maybe someone else can comment on that.

One thing you might try is to delete all of your connections and mms settings, then run that cab to see if it changes anything. Or the next time you flash a rom, only use that cab (thats how I do it now). Could be there is a conflict between what you have and what this does.

mfrazz,

Kind of OT but is it possible to remove Windows Media Player from a WM6 ROM and replace it with TCPMP?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] techlogik:
One problem already, and one of the first things I change when flashing a ROM. Regional Settings, you date formats are missing a bunch of options.

In the US, MM/DD/YY is pretty much standard, but only available it DD/MM/YY or similar format.

So, right out of the box, this ROM is a bust for me. Sorry. Good try though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Sorry but look again (and I even mention this in the first post). The rom defaults to English (UK) just as the Faria vanilla does. Change it to English (US) then you will find those exact date settings. I run m/d/yy myself but tested mm/dd/yy and others. So they are thre and it does work.

pop issues

I was using the official Faria rom and am currently using this rom. Sometimes when I connect to the email, all is well. Then other times, when it downloads, it will pop up the notification as well as the email text, but when I go to read it it will show that I have no messages in my email at all, including the ones previously downloaded (it deletes them). Also, sometimes it will just skip over downloading messages at all.

I am currently using the gmail, configured like I had before, where I had no issues. It checks every 15 minutes. It is set to d/l the whole message and to not delete email at all.

Is it a specific issue to the wm6 rom? Does gmail not play nice with the wm6 rom?

Thanks

Hello all... I just recently switched to this ROM and everything seems to be working fine except for one issue I am having. I have my phone connected to GPRS all the time and the issue I am having is this... Anytime I press the end button on the phone itself (hardware button, not software) it is ending my GPRS connection and then reconnecting it. I have never had this issue on any previous ROM's whether they were WM6 or WM5 so I'm a little thrown off as to what could be causing this problem. I have been around this board for quite a while but I don't post... I mostly read... so I'm not out of the loop with the issues the WM6 ROMs have. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and if they know how to correct it.

Thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Faria responded to this a page or so back. I haven't taken the time to look for the registry setting he was talking about (if anyone has it let me know). But yeah, this is the same behavior as on Faria's "the real thing" and Faria's Vanilla (which this rom is based off of). This bugs a lot of people so if we can find the fix I'll put it in the next release.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] da_jojo:
might be that it cuts off all connections when pressing the end/hangup button

and the gprs is auto reconnecting coz it is set to be allways on

Bluetooth Carkit trouble

After I installed this Rom people could not here me talking when connected to my Parrot 3100 carkit.

I downgraded again to my old rom and the problem was gone.

Anyone have any idea to solve this ?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Have you tried using your carkit with other WM6 roms? I've seen where various Bluetooth headsets have had issues on the WM6 roms released so its probably some compatibility issue if thats the case. Does the carkit show up as handsfree or what?

8125 Bricked after attempting Crossbow Reloaded

Help

I was flashing my 8125 with Crossbow Reloaded and it got to 99% and paused for a moment before telling me that there was a communications issue. It then took me into repair mode which didn't work and now I am left at the bootloader screen. My SPL and IPL are both at 2.25. My 8125 is a G3 model and I unlocked the CID using lokiwiz. Can someone tell me where I went wrong or more importantly how can I recover my device? I get the bootloader screen now no matter what I do, and the PC cannot communicate with the 8125 anymore.

Thanks in Advance for your help.

Kev
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Since you are in the bootloader, technically you aren't bricked (bricked means its completely dead).

Basically you need to flash an official rom now so you can get back to a clean base, then you can try again. Even though ActiveSync doesn't connect as long as USB shows above the left softkey you can us RUU to flash a rom.

Follow this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298613

Also make sure you take out your SD card and all while doing flashing. I've seen SD cards cause issues with the flashing process. Also don't do anything on your pc while a flash is running (very tempting, but just take a coffee break and watch the progress bar ;))
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] berrykd:
Thanks mfrazzz. I found that thread after I posted my plea for help. Please excuse my ignorance. I should have looked harder.

I am downloading the roms now.

I am getting 274 and 264 errors trying to flash with Wizard Love. I just doesn't like the communication. Is there something else I can try. I am at the bootloader screen, and my device shows "USB" in the lower left corner.

Steps for Vista

I know in the last week I saw it posted on this forum that you could run through about 2 dozen steps to get async 4.5 working on Vista so you could flash the ROM from Vista - try searching.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Please try flashing an official rom and not a custom one. Also are you running Windows XP or Vista? If you are on Vista you can't flash a phone in bootloader mode.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] berrykd:
I am using a PC with Windows XP as I saw in another thread that you could access bootloader from Vista. I will try an official one next. Thanks

I tried the T-Mobile 2.26 and it didn't work. It is just not connecting with the phone. It does the initial "getting information" and then fails with a communication error.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mercx:
I took a look back at what faria had stated and then I went digging through the wiki and I solved the problem. Below I will post the part from the wiki:

Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
To add a Disconnect button:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Basically what faria was saying is that in your ROM you must have had that key set to 16. When I checked the registry on mine I saw that it was already sest to 8 but I was still having the problem. I changed my key to 0 and now everything is working as it should. That is the key that needs to be changed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] prinsipe21:
what appropriate program can i use to flash the SPLASH SCREEN LOgo? sorry for asking but it keeps giving me error when im flashing. saying

ERROR[300]INVALID UPDATE TOOL...

This error message will appear when we use the incorrect RUU to upgrade. right? what should i do?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Brando457:
So far the rom is working good I only have a few issues.

How can I disable the message sent notification? I'm not sure if its the same as in WM5.

Also I notice when making calls it is difficult for me to hear the other party and for them to hear me. This did not occur until I flashed with WM6.

Other than that everything is great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr Other:
Looks like I'm going to start using this rom tomorrow. It seems to be a good fit for what I'm looking for in a rom. A few questions -

Do I need to install anything else after the rom to make sure my phone will work? Also, what radio rom should I use, as a U.S. T-Mobile customer?

Thanks!

Worked Great!! it seems like the battery gets drained a lot.. and can someone show me how to change it to not be military time. ive been trying and i cant seem to find where to change it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Brando457:
In the first post the cooker mentions using radio rom 2.19 for all cingular customers I would assume its the same for T-mobile. The only thing you really need is the carrier configuration settings such as internet and messaging, but there is a link to those in the first post.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Have you rebooted the PC? Make sure your USB cable is plugged into a direct USB port and not a hub (or even a USB port on the front of a PC as that is sometimes going through a hub inside the pc). I assume you removed the SD card? You might want to try uninstalling ActiveSync (and the drivers) and then reinstalling. Or better yet, try a different PC completely.

Interesting and good find. I'd like for a few people to try this out to make sure there isn't other side effects...

I'm not a G4 guy at all. I think I saw where someone mentioned what they had to do was install an official rom for the phone from the provider, then flash the radio and then the splash screens and then use the shell tool to install the OS. But a G4 person needs to answer this (or maybe a post in the G4 forum might get you the answer you need).

Look in the wiki and do searches as the message sent is a registry setting as I recall (You can also modify this in the Alerts and Notifications under settings so try there first).

For sound, do a search on AUDIOGAIN. I think all of the settings in this rom are default. There are threads about changing AUDIOGAIN to increase volume.

The phone itself will work based on your SIM card. But for SMS and MMS look at the 3rd post in this thread and I have a pointer to a post in another thread for setting up the GPRS and MMS settings for T-Mobile US. Whatever else you use or need would need to be installed by you.

Battery drain after you flash always seems high. Give it 24 hours to settle in. Also if didn't flash to an official rom before putting this on, you may have a corrupted extended rom which appears to make battery drain worse (but again give it some time). Some claim a hard reset after a new flash also helps. Note that ALL WM6 roms seem to have a higher battery drain than a standard WM5 (and excessive overclocking and apps that do network access will then increase this).

To get rid of Military time (I'm surprised you see that as by default it shouldn't be that way) go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time then click on the drop down box for the time format. Notice the little arrows in the drop down? This is a scroll bar! (Thanks Microsoft ;)) Click on the up arrow a couple of times (or press a lowercase h on your keyboard) and you will see the non-military time settings.

Actually many T-Mobile US users work fine on the 2.40 and 2.61 radios. So I really have no comment on those other than try them and see what works for non CIngular customers. I do know that 2.19 tends to be the most stable (not the best strength, but the most stable) of the radios (and some claim the 2.07 works really well too). I've missed way too many calls and SMS screwing around with other radios on Cingular so I run 2.19 and thats it.

I've had a couple of PM's where people are having issues with the commManager not allowing WiFi to work. I've personally never seen this (and actually the Faria Vanilla and this rom have been the best at doing WIFi of all the WM6 I've tried so not sure why this isn't working for everyone). Anyway, here is a cab that I used on a couple of other WM6 roms that fixed (or mostly fixed) my WiFi issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Eximius:
The WIFI in your ROM works perfect for me, the WIFI in the original Faria Vanilla didnt, there i needed the registery tweak for to get it to work.

Personally i think this just happens random or whatever, as fault in Flashing progress or something.

Ohw, is it possible in your next release to enable X-button by default?

Yesterday my device was slow, didnt know why...

Till i noticed X-Button was turned of and there were almost 25 applications open.

Personally i was used to the Faria ROM where it was enabled by default, to prevent people are wanking there device is gettin slow with you rom cause they are used to something maybe its not a bad idea to enable it by default :)

I think you know how dumb some people here on XDA can be ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
haha, yea, i kno what that's like

Thanks for your help. I have rebooted my computer and I have also uninstalled and reinstall activesync. I also tried another PC when I got home from work with no luck. Now this morning I tried the USB port on the back as I was using the one on the front. The update still failed. I think my 8125 is dead now. I will not boot at all. Any other suggestions or is all hope lost.

Once again thanks for you helpful suggestions.

This may sound silly, but are you sure that you still have juice in the battery ?

Turn it off and plug it into the charger. See what's the led colour.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Hope isn't lost yet. I agree that your battery may just be drained. Plug it in to a wall charger with the phone off. Don't turn it on and leave it for a couple of hours. The charge light might not come on for 30mins if the battery is almost depleted.

While that is going do a search the wizard wiki for booting off the sd card. I think this is the route you need to go. I'm typing over my phone so have limited access to look for this.

Good luck.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Ya its not a good idea to leave it on the PC, as it will just keep going though activesynce cycles and will run the battery down! If you have a wall changer you should use that always!!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Ok, guys, I'm figuring out tonight what the problem is when I try to rebuild the rom. Looks like I'm maxing this puppy out by trying to put the Transcriber back in with everything else. I'm going to poke around some, but between Transcriber, Voice Command, and Adobe, I'm pushing the limits of what can be built into a ROM.

My thoughts are that I may leave out VoiceCommand and have links to cabs for this (like the XPlore thread does). I'm also looking to replace Adobe Reader LE with another program that is smaller and does the same (its what is in the Wizard Mobile 6 Business Edition rom).

So, now that I know what the issue is, I'll start looking to move forward with how to proceed. I'll accept feedback on ideas for things to add / remove.

Oh, something else I haven't looked at but is a possibility is to remove Windows Media Player and may put TPCMP in instead (that was a suggestion in an earlier post). Not sure of the feasibility of doing that, but another option...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Just another post on this before I call it a night... Just wanting to throw out some thoughts before I call it a night... I'm looking at a couple of the Hermes roms to see how some of that is being released. I actually like how the Black rom is being done. Basically stuff like Transcriber, Adobe, Voice Commmand, etc are available as a seperate download with the cabs so you can install what you want of these big apps. Allows for more stuff to be put into the rom (or to keep it cleaner, either way). I think this is the direction I'm going to lean (and with that, I"M not sure how much the rom will actually change from where it is now, but just be more for fixes and a few enhancements).

I probably won't do anything around this until this weekend (or maybe even first of next week as my weekend is already getting pretty busy). So feel free to give some comments on ideas if you are interested in seeing things one way or another. I'll weigh the input and see if it sways me from what I'm thinking ;).

If you are curious, here's the Black download page where you can see some info on this:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Are you sure, (Ya i know you are the chef) But i am sure that i read some where that you can do a hex edit and change the size that is given, so you could tell it that you can only have like 50-55Mb storage. Which makes the internal space go down but gives you more space to install too.

I will just have to try and find it!!! It is on here soe where, but i was looking at other phones, so maybe you can with the other but not with ours!

yes im sure....i does not matter what you do....the docpartition is locked in the devices....and it will revert back to the default when you flash....i used tadizio tools ,they do work...but when flashed is still the storage is still as a normal rom...even thou the image flashed was 51 mb.

unless you can figure how to unlock the docpartition.:) even if you flash an image with 40 mb....it still shows the defalt value...you will have the free space but you cannot use it....it is wasted because the space is in rom...

i agree on faria

this rom is build on different sections ipl/spl , OS-area , userarea , cache space.

this layout of the flashmem inside the device cannot be altered as it would

render the system inusable. i wouldnt go there if u aint hardware and software genius.. but if u insist i would have a look at the ipl area ..

btw this extended rom area isnt used in your rom ? perhaps fill this as it is pretty useless left empty..
