Sorry, but no. I just know that others when they switched to various WM6 roms reported their bluetooth headsets wouldn't work the same. Apparently its an incompatiblity is my guess. I would suggest you flash another WM6 rom (Maybe like NBD or Wizard Mobile 6 Business Edition, as those are similar to this one but built off the mUn base rom) and see if the problem is the same. If its not, please let me know and I'll try to see what the difference is to fix my rom.

Turn off the BlueTooth File explorer first and then you can select your SD card just fine. Camera (and other apps) seem to get confused when BlueTooth File Explorer is turned on. After you get your settings correct, then you can turn it back on and Camera will still store pics on the Storage Card (even though you can't select it as an option). This is a "feature" of WM6 and the BlueTooth File explorer. I've seen the same behavior on other roms.

Thanks! I've updated the 2nd post where I have the GPRS/MMS Setup info with this

If you don't like Office Mobile folder stored in the Start Menu, then just go to Start > Settings > Menus and uncheck the box and it will go back to Programs. But its no different than anything else... If you check the box in menus, its moved to \WIndows\Start Menu and out of Programs (which is basically how WM6 is setup by default. I think you will find it this way in all of the WM6 roms). I you want it in both places, then make an lnk file to the folder in the other place (but if you do this, Start > Settings > Menus may have issues if you try to check or uncheck the box, and it will show up twice).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] melvynadam:
There's a far simpler way: I copied \Windows\Start Menu\Office Mobile to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

This question comes from a position of complete ignorance so please don't

(a) bite my head off and

(b) take this as if I'm assuming there's no effort involved in providing these cooked ROMs

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way.....

I just ran WiFiFoFum for the first time and got a message that a newer version is available. I already knew that the PimBackup in this ROM is not the latest version.

My question is how hard it would be for you to update the ROM to include these two latest versions.

Again, I fully appreciate the fact that this is a free ROM you have provided out of the goodness of your heart and do not intend to diminish the work you put into the release.

Nice job Mrfrazz -- thanks for the ROM. I upgraded from Faria's Real Thing and this seems to fix a LOT of issues I was having!

Hey - we're practically neighbors -- I live in Woodmen Hills!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Double cool ;)... Glad it fixed issues you had... And yeah, I'm in Falcon Hills (so a mile or so north of you) ;).

Nah, I won't bite your head off ;) I'm a little nicer than that (although today is a very trying day for me at work and home, so I don't make any promises... ;)).

I can look at upgrading both of these and making a modified release (1.5.1 I guess). Not sure I can get to it today though as I've got a bazillion things happening at work today (and I shouldn't even be replying to this message right now). Let me see what I can come up with. I also want to change Total Commander to 2.5 beta (I meant to do that and then I left it out). Also note that HTC X-Button is only partially 1.5. Long story, but I'm not sure I really want to make it 1.5 now as there are issues with it in other roms and I've reproduced it on this one two if its fully at 1.5. May drop back to 1.0 and people can install 1.5 if they want it. But again, thats either later tonight or tomorrow before I can do something like that...

BTW: you can always just install the latest version with a cab for now if you want to be on the latest.

Whats funny about PIM Backup is I specifically looked for a new version with I built this rom but it was 1.8. I see 1.9 was just released on Tuesday...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] timskrastins:
Bah..I spoke too soon. It seems anytime I drive through an area with no signal, the data connection won't come back when I return to an area with signal. ActiveSync just says 'waiting for network' and if I try to load a web page, it will do a quick 'loading...0kb' and then stop. Worked fine this morning but not this afternoon.

I can fix it by resetting the phone or by shutting off the phone radio and turning it back on.

Big issue since I'm using push-email.

I had loaded T-Mobile's 2.26 update before flashing this ROM. Had the same issue with Faria's Real Thing...not sure if it's a Faria ROM thing or a WM6 thing overall. Never was an issue with WM5 - T-Mobile 2.26. (I'm on T-Mobile).

BUT -- so far, this ROM does seem to act faster than the Real Thing and my attachments actually download with this ROM whereas they didn't before. Also nice to see US style slashes between the date numbers instead of dots. And before if I was reading e-mail and the phone shut off, turning it back on would flip to the 'today' screen and that doesn't happen with this ROM - yay.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
What radio are you running? Try switching to T-Mo 2.19 UK or since you appear to be on T-Mobile switch to a newer one like 2.40, 2.61, or 2.69 (they don't seem to have the missed calls and lost SMS like with Cingular network) All of the radio roms can be found on the ftp site here.

Otherwise I'm not sure what else to look at. May try to ping Faria to see if he has ideas on what it might be.

I can confirm same thing. with black cab installed and voip config on the system I am unable to turn on voice over ip calling. I can use sjphone with no issues, but would be nice to get the build in stuff to work.

check for bug

Anyone have to reset the phone twice sometimes to get the phone to boot. I get the pinwheel then nothing but resetting again seems to fix it.

A few people asked in this (or maybe it was the original release thread) about my Weather Panel setup. I've posted the files and instructions in the Wizard Forum:

I Just wanted to say Thanks for a great Rom. After flashing many rom's this is the Rom that's best for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kegobeer:
I noticed something yesterday. When I choose a custom ringtone and then do a soft reset, once I return to the phone config page and click ok, the ringtone changes back to the default tone. I have to select my custom ringtone again and click ok, then the settings are saved.

Anyone else notice this behavior? I'm not sure if it has always done this, or if this is an effect of adding another program to the mix.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ivanwinkel:
This also happen's to me sometimes. Mostly it happen's the first times after flashing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dezl0ck:
This seems to be a pretty nice rom, but it's missing something that I really like from Faria's Real Thing and Not Big Deal 5.7. There's a memory applet that appears in the tray of these two roms that is a shortcut to Start-> Settings-> System -> Memory - > Running Programs. It looks like a minature version of the icon for the Memory program under settings. It's really handy for doing a one tap to kill other programs that are running if you need extra memory. Is there a manual hack or a cab I can install to put this back in the tray on the today screen?

I also noticed that "Enable Today X Button for ending running" programs isn't working in this release. That's also a convenient way of killing programs as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nsaneone:
Don't usually reply in forums but for the life of me can't find a solution for my problem. I tried flashing this rom to my phone and it stops on 99% and gives me a error 300. It is sim unlocked and CID unlocked with flashing and lokiwiz. I uninstalled Activesync...Deleted all my temp out od my Admin folder. Deleted the partnership and drivers for my phone. Tried to flash 8 times and same thing. I can flash other roms to the phone, I am currently using Core 2.0n. Info on phone on sig..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I don't use the tray on my phone, so I guess I've never missed this. If you can tell me what this is, I'll add this in for another version (or we can make a cab to fix it on this version for those that don't want to flash).

As it turns out, I screwed up in doing HTC X-Button 1.5. I didn't have a true cab for it and didn't have all the correct files, so what is in this rom is actually a combination of 1.0 and 1.5 melded together. The Enbable Today X Button is part of 1.5 and that just doesn't work... The next release of Crossbow Reloaded is going to go back to v1.0 though as 1.5 has some real gotcha issues we are all finding out. I'll provide a cab for those that want 1.5, but I'm not going to build it into the rom due to the funny behavior with the Today screen it causes.

@nsaneone - I assume you have a G3 since you are saying you are sim and cid unlocked? If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest you flash the T-Mobile 2.26 official rom first, then flash Crossbow Reloaded. Not sure why you are having the issue flashing the rom, but I've seen going back to an official rom fix similar behavior.

@kegobeer - I've switched my ringtone and can't say that I've seen it change back after a softreset except one time and I think that was the first soft reset I did after a new flash (so sort of like what ivanwinkel indicated). If it continues to happen, please let me know.

@NADAVE - Thanks for the compliment. Thats my goal is to come up with a nice stable rom that I can live with for a long time. v1.5 is getting closer, but I want to do a few more things still.

BTW: For those with VoIP issues reported earlier. Can you tell me if VoIP worked for you in the original Crossbow Reloaded (when it was part of the rom and not the Black cab)? If it did, I may look at putting VoIP back in now that I've used the tadzio rom packer and have more room.

I'm open to suggestions for what others would like to see added or removed for the next version. I'll update PIM Backup and possibly BatteryStatus (waiting for more reports on the latest version). Then as stated above will drop HTC X-Button back to 1.0 (and provide a cab for those that want 1.5). I'm also going to add MobileJustice into the mix (a free utility that will send out SMS to designated devices if an unknown sim is put into your phone).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jonnyp4l:
I accidentally posted this elsewhere...too many dang windows open...

"Crossbow Reloaded 1.5 was my first attempt at Flashing my G3 Wizard. I've been roaming around here for months waiting to get up the nerve and I finally did it last night. As per instructions, I followed each and every step of the definitive guide, took all of mfrazzz' advice and was careful not to skip a step or take a shortcut.

I had absolutely NO problems whatsoever. My IPL switched but my SPL didn't so I just flashed it again and everything was grand.

I am now using Crossbow and it's awesome. This ROM is loaded with all of the quality tools i like and it's not bulky at all. I was surprised how much was crammed in for it to have as much space as it did.

All I have to say is HUGE thanks to mfrazzz, faria and Dr Puttingham (and everyone else out there who works to put these things together in their spare time and then gives them freely to schumcks like me). This OS is awesome.

So here's my next question: Where do I go from here? Should I start thinking about cooking my own ROM? I'd like to be a valuable member of the community and not just leech off of everyone else's hard work. If you have any suggestions, just PM me. I'm not trying to hijack this thread or anything. Just wanted to say thanks!

OS: Crossbow Reloaded 1.5!!!"
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] partha:
I did have VoIP work with the original ROM (did not have to work very hard to have it up and running), but doesnt work with the new version (tried multiple ways to provision it).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Ok, thats what I wanted to know. I'll look at putting VoIP back in the rom since I have the space now.

Very cool! Glad it went on for you with no issues (all of the how to's in here do work if you don't skip steps. That tends to be the most common issue I see. Enjoy!

Depends on how comfortable you are with doing something like that, and how much time you have on your hands. Cooking isn't for everyone (I only did it because Faria's kitchen really made it fairly simple and I was wanting a rom that fit for what I wanted and not another Vanilla one). But if you do go this route be prepared for it to suck up a lot of time (think how much time it took you to flash just Crossbow Reloaded. Now think about making your own and doing all of that to find out you left out one registry entry, so you have to do it all over again. Then you find out you forgot to move a link someplace, etc... If you are into that type of stuff, its fun. If you aren't you will learn to get frustrated and hate it very quickly... ;)

I released this rom for a nice WM6 that people can use, and go on with their lives... Its still not 100% yet, but its pretty good (if I do say so myself). I've been running this rom for almost 10 days now, and very few problems. I like playing with bleeding edge stuff at times, but since January I've flashed myself silly and am looking to let my phone rest for awhile, and really enjoy a rom for what it is.

Feel free to jump around to other roms to try out the flavors. Each has a different taste and some work really well for some things, and not as well for others. (The call of the mUn rom is getting stronger for me, but there are so many people "cooking" for it I'm not sure I will go that route myself. I'm wating for Faria's next rom release and work off of that, as I've really enjoyed the stability of this one, rather than fighting the bleeding edge some are doing now).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
It takes alot of hard work, with the kitchen, as I was a dumb ass if you see above. If you don't read, you mess things up and have a lot of work!! I put one thing on there that should not be there and I had to hard reset everytime I want to sync!!! So it is alot of fun to do, but dont think it will work first time.

Its a case of try try and try again. But when you have it good, man it is nice having a rom that is what you want not what the main rom is!!

Maybe I will relese my rom soon for people to look at!, but I would have to do some changing to it as it is settup for my details!!!!

Ok reset you phone and see if you get in the top left corner

IPL

SPL

GSM

Rom

I find sometimes that the GMS gets messed up when i flash a rom (GSM is not shown, you should have a blank space). If this is right, download a radio that you would like and put the phone in boot loader (3 colours) and connect to your PC and flash the radio. After it has reset you should find that you have signal back again!

If this is not the case please can you give me more information. e.g does it say that it is connected but signal or does it just search?

To put your phone in bootloader:- press the reset button and holder the voice button, once done connect your phone up and you shouold get a USB at the bottom, once you have that flash away!

No sound from alarm

First I'd like to thank mfrazzz for this rom, been running it for a week and absolutely love it.

I do however have one issue that I cannot seem to fix. I use the built in alarm clock quite regularly and have noticed that the alarm will trigger but no sound will play. This seems to only happen when the phone is plugged in and at full charge (I have tested it while in "sleep" mode not plugged in and the alarm sounds).

I am running IPL/SPL 2.26 and the T-mobile UK radio 2.19.11

Any input/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The first post where I released the rom specifically says that Cingular customers need to run T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio or you will have issues (its in the Recomendations along with the link to download it). I've never seen the no service issue before, but please switch to the 2.19 radio. If the 2.19 radio doesn't seem to fix issues, then I'd advise you to reflash the rom as you may have had a bad flash.

Is Crossbow Reloaded actually Windows Mobile 6 or is it an extension of WM5? I was just curious which version was which.

I had a small issue this morning. My phone was set to full volume but after I had an appointment notification, my phone would only vibrate when ringing.

I've also had an issue with my email since I went from the Cingular 2.25 Radio to the 2.19. My EDGE connection seems to be okay with PIE but I'm not getting any new email.

Any ideas?

Its WM6. But in reality, WM6 isn't a huge change over WM5, but still, this is a WM6 from Faria (supposedly this was a WM6 for Wizard that he got his hands on, so its not some other device's WM6 with Wizard device drivers and stuff attached).

I actually had similar this morning. My phone's ringtone reset and was only doing vibrate. Just had to go to Start > Settings > PHONE ANd play the ringtone to fix it, but still, not happy it did that.

I currently don't do email on my phone so I have no experience with this. Hopefully someone else can comment.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dezl0ck:
Not sure what the memory application is in the tray (Faria could probably tell you since it was in one of his ROMS), it may be something from within the OS. I downloaded a separate CAB for HTC X-Button and managed to get the option to kill individual tasks from the Today screen. I guess now that I have that working the built in windows component is superfluous.

I must say this ROM is probably the best behaved I have seen so far. I used to have to do the registry hack to keep GPRS active all the time in order to get it to work with FlexMail 2007's push email, but with this ROM if any program initiates a dial out the connection stays open regardless of whether or not the application is using the connection. Other ROMS were very aggressive about disconnecting GPRS if it was idle for too long. All I've really had to do is install my favorite apps, some eye candy themes, and HTC X-Button. Great job!
