.rgu and .dsm are the files used in cooking when making packages for apps. Its been discussed in aother thread about tryig to remove some of these, but in the tests that were done, we found the roms were unstable and had problems (and Faria even chimed in that this had been looked at in the past and dropped as a way to save space).

I do question your numbers though. I just did a count of them in \WIndows and I only have a little over 100 of each. If you have 1600 of them, you have another issue with something you have installed as that is definetly not in my rom. I'm assuming you mean 160 and not 1,600. Also note that if you have 160, something you have installed has added about 50+ more than what I have on my phone (my count should be real close to what is actually in the rom). And since .dsm and .rgu are only used for cooking, its a waste for them to come from anyplace else (but I've seen some cabs have them left in there where someone just took an OEM package for cooking and took all the files to make the cab, including the .dsm and .rgu).

As I stated in another thread, I'm looking at the next build of this going a different route than using packages in the rom. I'm thinking of including cab files (or maybe just one big cab) of my design. These would then be installed after the flash when the phone setup (the Faria fake extended rom that does some cell provider setups) happens. By doing this, I can then control what goes into \Windows and everything else can go outside of windows (like a real cab install does). This is all theory right now, but the direction I'm going to attempt to go.

Again, I'm just trying to get through this upcomming weekend (recitals for my kids and deadlines for stuff with work), then hopefully my life will slow down to a slow run :eek: and I can look at working on the next version of XM6...

speed better than core 2.0n? everything works fine with it? coz i'm thinking about changing core 2.0n with this..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Don't know, as I never ran Core 2.0n. But this is a different type of rom than Core 2.0n. This is a "packed" rom (ie: lots of apps built in) where Core 2.0n is a "clean" rom which was designed for being a base to cook off of (but a lot of people run it a and love it for a nice working WM6 rom where you add what you want to it.

Maybe you should take some time to read through this thread and the first couple of posts. No, it has bugs like all of the custom roms. You have to decide if the bugs in it (and then workaround fixes) will work for you. Biggest issue that people are running into right now is that if you add much more to the \Windows directory, then boot time and speed of the rom for certain functions gets really slow. But if you don't add much more to the rom that goes to \Windows, then you will find this rom is very quick and stable (for me it is at least).

Okay I installed the splash screen, nice :)

Just one question, why is everyone ignoring my question about my WLM issues included in this ROM ??

mfrzzzzzzz maybe you got a solution to this problem with your ROM ?

memory leak??

Has anyone experience some memory leak with these ROM?? I just love this Base is so fast and stable, however after running some apps, ie; calendar, contacts, comm manager and closing them (not hidding them) . And just got 15 megs after that. I can recover some memory with sk tools however, the OS dont do it by itself.

Has anyone experienced something similar?? :)

best regards!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
Well i have tried (and loved) Core2n, its a great and fast ROM. However its based on an older ROM Dump. This one is based on the InGeNiUs ROM Base which was designed for the wizard. Its faster, even when loaded with a lot of apps, it wont crash as often even as Core2n (that is very stable).

I love Core2n, but there is nothing in this new OS base that will make me flash again Core2n. If you like vanilla builds, download the InGeNiUs OS clean ROM Base and enjoy it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mirekluza:
I originally copied the whole Windows directory to PC and counted files there. It looks like I did it something completely wrong... Sorry.

I have double checked the number of *.rgu and *.dsm files (in TC on MDA Vario) there is total 181 them (when I count both types together). So it is not so much. Sorry for my previous misleading information... I wonder what I was doing that I got to 1600 before... :-(

I hope you can fix this mfrazzz!

Yeah mfrazzz I hope you also can do something on the "WLM-contact-problem" on your ROM. Almost no one wants their msn contacts on their phonebook. I think you are an hero on this forum for many people when you fix this, also many people will begin to use only your ROM because no other ROM will have this fix! :rolleyes:

I already changed my very first splash to white HTC :D thx anywayz frazz, you rock buddy. Plz do not change the 2nd XM6 Taking you to the limit pic omg that is the best pic. Sigh... 1 of the other reason i installed LOL. anyways i have only installed other but yours is much more superior. Gotta love your optimization. Btw I installed Opera 8.60 and it works like charm :D

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Thanks! I'll flash it shortly myself. I'm curious if you had to compress the image or anything? I couldn't get it to work without compressing the jpg to like 50%. And it started looking crappy. I've always had probs with the first splas screen. Let me know the steps and graphic tool you used, as I'd love to make better first splash screens.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
@nycelitemaster - I just tried flashing that splash screen and it doesn't work for me. Gives me the screwed up first splash like I was running into last night when I was doing this. Top 1/2 to 3/4 of the screen is just white and black lines and garbage, then at the bottom I see a couple of repeated semi-grey scale versions of the white HTC logo splash. :( This is the problem I seem to run all the time. I'd be interested to see if this works on other phones.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I believe the splash screens for v1.5 are in the second post of that thread.

And no, I don't think custom graphics is part of the slow boot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] travelwood:
I experienced a slow boot (3 mins or more :() and was on the verge of re-flashing to my "old" ;)rom (crossbow 1.7.1).

But a hard reset resolved all for me, now it startsup within a minute and shows the content of the windows dir in 9 sec's.:)

So now i'me sticking with this for a while.

I only have 1 problem left: I can't sync my calendar with googleCalender with OggSync. I know OggSync states they have probs with wm6 but with Crossbow 1.7 it did work.

Anyone have the same probs or the solution?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
It seems that smartskey may be the culprit in the long boot times, at least in my case anyway.

Since removing smartskey from the startup my boot times went from 2 to 3 minutes to 25 seconds from the 3rd boot screen or about 47 seconds from first screen to full boot.

Someone else may want to try removing smartskey from startup and see if it does it for theres also.

Hate to be a pest but

Is there any chance someone can explain VoIP to me please? I just cant understand how this ROM supports it. How on earth do you (for example) dial a number using some type of keypad with the VoIP support in this ROM?

Am I just being difficult? All I want is to get my MDA to work like a Vonage phone (using another VoIP service) so that when I am in an open WiFi area (or in my office and connected to my LAN) I can use the MDA as a SIP.

I have entered all the info in the SIP config and it has done nothing besides putting my VoIP provider into some type of configuration on my start list where it toggles between "available" and "Selected", whatever that means.

Am I being unrealistic in thinking that "VoIP support is in this ROM" is the same as 'you can use this phone as people use Vonage phones'?

One thing I do notice is that this ROM uses almost no power at all: I can leave it on for a day without using it and with no screen use, hardly any battery is used up!! OTOH there is an occasional problem with the scroll bar at the right operating as a cut/paste utility when you want it to scroll.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Can you post how many files you have in your WIndows folder (and subfolders) please? Did you install HTC Home Plugin or other Touch apps from that thread? If you pull your SD card out and reboot does it still take as long to boot? Is your phone a G3 or G4? Did you use RUU or ShellTool to install? If ShellTool, did it complete or hang (and you have to pull the plug on it after 20 - 30mins)? Was the boot time always slow (from the install) or did it get slower after the rom was on for awhile? Are you using and SPB tools? (specifically SPB Mobile).

I need information to track this down...

[...Edit...] Sorry just noticed your sig says IPL/SPL of 3.08 so that tells me a G3 and CID Unlocked so I'm assuming RUU for install and not ShellTool.

IF others with 2+ minute boot times can post this type of information it would help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] AgentSmith:
Great rom! Bootup time is as short as with one of Molski's latest WM5 roms. Also push mail works as expected (too bad my server does not support the html feature yet). I have encountered a few issues and annoyances though:

1. Disabling word completion also disables autocomplete when entering a contact's name in pocket outlook. In WM5 this was not the case. Now I am stuck with that annoying word suggestion thing. Maybe someone knows a way how to keep autocompletion without word suggestion?

2. The interface is a little less responsive than in WM5, despite the same display registry hacks. I actually hoped that the newer WM6 would be a little more responsive.

3. The left hardware key in Outlook now says "delete" instead of "new" which is annoying because I use the latter far more frequently than the former. And the reply option is put away too deeply in the menu. Maybe a registry fix for these as well??

4. SMS Backup does not support WM6 so I am unable to restore my messages. Hopefully a new version will come out soon.

All in all WM6 provides little wow experience. It's more a WM5 second edition. Hopefully WM7 will be a more serious and better optimized upgrade which can also be installed and run on our great Wizards. :)

Anyone else having problems with missed call notification? I did a few test calls where I hung up. No indications the call was not picked up. Voicemail alerts do work.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] AgentSmith:
Missed calls show up on my wizard. Are you using T-Mobile radio 2.19? If not you better downgrade since later versions can give the problems that you just described.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] w00fy:
Yup, before going with XM6, I upgraded to TMo UK 2.19.11 and flashed with the stock Cingular ROM and extended ROM. My SPL/IPL versions are 2.25. Should I upgrade the SPL/IPL? If so, any recommended version?

I'll give reflashing a shot and see if that helps.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kegobeer:
You're not running the 2.19 radio. The Cingular ROM contains the 2.25 radio. First you flash to WM6, then you flash the radio.

This is unfortunatly something that microsoft did, no way to change it unless you go back to WM5. They found from customer feedback that more people used the delete (spam) than the new.

Phone software problem

Hi mrfrazzz,

I'm experiencing some problems with the phone part. It seems that in standby sometimes it hangs and if someone calls me the phone ring in his mobile but i can't see the incoming call. I need to stop the phone using the comm manager and restart it. Moreover I can't call at all.

So this evening I've flashed with IPL/SPL 3.08 and Radio 2.69.11, thinking that this could solve the problem, but tonight I've got the same issue. After I've restarted the phone component I've received an sms from my bank, and I was able to call again.

I've installed HTC Touch today plugin and dialpad, Intellipad, Sprite Backup, wisbaradvanced 2, wisbar advanced desktop, slide2unlock, voice command e voice dialer.

Anyone experienced that issue ?

Thanks a lot

Raid.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] w00fy:
DOH!!!

Weird, because it says 2.19 on the boot screen. I'll reflash in that order.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Here's my info if it will help any:

Phone info:

IPL/SPL 3.08, Radio 2.69.11, G3 CID unlocked

# of files in windows Dir= 2039

Used RUU to flash

Boot time was slow from when I first installed this version of XM6 before installing any other software (2 to 3 minor longer). Didn't change with or without SD card.

Never installed the HTC Home plugin or any other touch software.

Only installed SPB software is SPB Time.

Other installed Plugins:

Weather Panel, BatteryStatus, VJToggle Today (hide bottom bar) and cLaunch.

Like I've already mentioned though, removing smartskey from startup has fixed the long bootup time for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kegobeer:
The only things listed during boot are: IPL, SPL, GSM, and OS. The radio is not listed. You have to look at your device information to see the radio ROM number.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Bellfazar:
I decided to flash to XM6 after running an AKU2.3 for quite some time. At first the upgrade to WM6 was nice, but I've noticed that it's terribly slow, and I can't figure out why.

It's overclocked to 260 using BatteryMonitor , 20.13MB free program mem, 33.70MB of free storage mem, running radio 02.19.11, IPL/SPL 2.26 and it still runs like a dog. I have to wait a few seconds between the time that I hit the phone button and the time that the dialer comes up.

Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kegobeer:
Flash back to an official ROM (Cingular 2.25/T-Mobile 2.26), then flash to the WM6 ROM, then flash the 2.19 radio ROM. The latest WM6 ROMs I've used are really fast, and the one I cooked for myself with the latest HTC Home plugin boots up in under 30 seconds, is fantastic on battery life, and is the fastest I've seen yet.

mfrazzz told me that but don't remember and cannot find the thread where he posted the registry key

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nycelitemaster:
who ever is having problems, try reflashing and use mfrazz's os and see if you get any problem w/o your customization. If you don't have prob. with mfrazz orig software then the software you install is faulty or incompatible. Therefore don't use it. Some of the programs still are for wm5 and not compatible with wm6. So it has nothing to do with mfrazz. Give the guy break i mean hez working his ass at his job and making rom for all of us. I mean guys i don't want to be rude try to figure nooby probs your self. its a comon sense.

Cyberon Voice Dial

OK, I found the fix for Crossbow 1.7 before... how to make the headset button activate the dialer instead of the phone... I know it's in the registry... but I can't find it in a search! Argghhhh!

Please point :-)

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Bellfazar:
That was exactly what I did. I flashed the official T-Mobile 2.26, then flashed mfrazzz's XM6, then flashed the 2.19.11 radio.

The only applications I'm running outside of the ones that came with the ROM are BatteryStatus, the fix for the 8 button commmanager, the cingular media net settings, MS Live Search, MS Voice Command, the updated dialer, Phone Profiles, OpenNETCF, and the XDA Dev Registry Wizard. The only app out of all of these that I could possibly see affecting performance would be the OpenNETCF/Registry Wizard combo, but I wouldn't think it would kill performance to such a degree.

I'm going to reflash and see what happens. Any suggestions for ways to back up settings and more importantly, preserve the ActiveSync partnership?

Also, am I missing something about flashing back down to 2.26? I just had the updater bug out on me. Thank god it didn't brick my phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Real quick I had to respond to this one then I'm off to bed (long week and longer weekend still to come)...

GSM IS the Radio... ;) So he already has 2.19 on his phone. It really doesn't matter what order the Radio is flashed as long as its AFTER the official rom. I've many times flashed T-Mo 2.26, then the T-Mo 2.19 radio, and THEN the custom rom of my choice. As long as the custom rom doesn't have a radio (and none of mine do) then you can do that order too.

Not sure I'll have time to be online any tomorrow, and I've sort of promised myself to stay away from here on Sunday (Father's Day), so everyone have a good weekend.

I hope to start working on the next version of XM6 (XM6.1???) next week. I have a lot of ideas for it and I want to beta test it good and not rush to release it (Please don't ask to beta test. I will do a limited test at first, and depending on feedback either release it or expand the beta, but I'll decide who is doing beta, and asking (especially in this thread) will remove you from the list (if you were on it)). So with that said, Its probably going to be a few weeks. Maybe I'll shoot for a 4th of July release to celebrate. But don't hold me to that (yet), its way to early to be talking about this next release...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] w00fy:
Thank you mfrazzz for your efforts.

Yes I already had the 2.19 radio but I reflashed everything with the radio ROM going on last per the recommendation a few posts back. Still an issue with an interesting twist. It seems I missed call notifications work fine until the first time the device goes to sleep. After waking up from standby, the call ends in a weird way. The screen will change to the keypad and I hear the distictive dropped call "bing bing bing" sound.

Still, its not that big of a deal for me right now. Voicemail notifications work and I usually don't call back anyone that doesn't leave a message anyhow. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Bellfazar:
