Just an FYI: I just got an email from WebIS, and they have released a new version of PocketInformant with enhancements for WM6. One of the things they call out is proper handling of SIM Contacts and Windows Live Contacts. I'm not sure what this means, but if you have issues with SIM Contacts and Windows Live Contacts, you might want to download the trial of Pocket Informant and see if it fixes the duplicates that Pocket Outlook shows. PI is a paid software, but I love it and use it all the time. So much better than Pocket Outlook IMO and other features in this new version look really nice.

I really like it too, that and Agenda One

2 questions:

Where didi PIM Backup disappear to? I cant seem to find it in my programs or settings where it was last time.

How can I set BatteryStatus to go directly to the memory settings of my PPC when I click on the Storage Card field (how it was set up in the last ROM)?

Thank-You mfrazzz this os seems nice. Quick question to everyone using this. Has anyone had issues using Radio version 2.47.11 on T-Mobile USA with this os? That's currently what I`m using and didn't have time to flash 2.16. I used 2.47 on WM5 with no issues. Well just curious thanks again, Jake.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
If that is the default radio, then no. I noticed a little dropout in quality when i went to 2.19 from my original radio.

And I still dont have PIM BAckup in that folder Gordon, like the shortcut doesnt exist.

The biggest issues that I've found is that you will miss all calls or sms's while you are connected to any type of data stream such as activesync or you have a program that updates itself over gprs. The only one's that I have found that don't cause that are 2.19.11 and 2.69.11.

Ive flashed my G4 Wizard with this rom and as soon as I do a hard reset to load into the new rom it hangs. Ive flashed it twice and both times get this issue. white screen with an outline of a box on the bottom portion of the screen.

Flashed using shelltools on winXP. have flashed the stock htc rom then to this one. still same results.

anyone else having this issue?

im new at flashing roms and im kinda confused and hoping somebody can help me out please. i want to flash this xm6 to my cingular 8125. i have determined that i have a g4. is that bad? what do i have to do, if anything, to unlock so i can install it? thanks in advance!

Well, then those stupid users should be more careful about spreading their email addresses and they should upgrade their spam filters as well! More seriously, this is a stupid move by MS because it not only applies to email but to text messages as well. If only were there a hack for this, just like there is for the hardware buttons in the today screen. Probably not...

Until now the only real benefit I get from WM6 is better bluetooth stereo audio quality, a feature I seldomly use. Since this is also implemented in WM5 AKU 3.x I probably will revert to WM5 somewhere in the near future. My pda still runs ok but not as fluent as it used to. TomTom also warned about little free memory space something I never encountered before. Maybe a WM6 revision will bring some improvements but for the moment I long to WM5 more and more. Today the phone app (soft) bricked the entire device. The only solution was to take out the battery since even holding the power button had no effect. Still glad I tried WM6 (again) though. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] silicij:
I decided to try this ROM, cause is closest to official one they said..

Well ROM itself is working OK ( I must admit, that Core 2.0n also didn't causing me any problems ) but.. Yeah, I'm also suffering from long boot :( I don't have installed any things from TOUCH.

I'm using Spb Phone Suite 1.0 and Spb Pocket Plus as today plug ins. Same soft and configurations as in CORE 2.0n. Like I said, long boot drives me crazy and anyone does not have even a clue?

Noob

Ooh I'm afraid I'm gonna be the noob asking the same question that has already been asked 100 times, but I *did* search for my answer and could not find it.

I have a WM5 AKU2 French Orange SPVM3000 (aka Wizard). I thought I'd give a shot at flashing a WM6 ROM. The whole thing looked quite simple, I followed the steps of the tutorial, the only thing I did not do is flashing the t-mobile rom since I figured my Orange ROM would be just as good when it comes to offering a clean base.

My device is unlocked and CID unlocked.

I downloaded the XM6 zip, extracted it, and then ran the RUU. The whole thing ran for ten minutes or so, then said "successfully flashed" or some like that.

Phone reboots, and the Orange ROM is still there!! Only thing which happened is in fact a hard reset!

So the question is: what did I miss here ?! How can the RUU load the exact same ROM I already have?!

I clearly must be missing something big, but hey no harm in asking, just don't beat me too hard ;-)!

Thanks guys!

very stable and fast!

great job my friend!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Make sure you're doing a "true" hard reset. Hold both the comm manager AND voice buttons down while pressing the reset button AND KEEP THEM PRESSED until the black screen appears prompting you to press the talk button to do the reset. Anything else, and you haven't reset.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
research shelltool. Its your only hope untill you get it unlocked.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
i flash my locked deviced without problem.

i has the core 2.0n in my wizard so i try to flash the xda by shell tools.

take moreless 5m the first, after this my device dont start (so i see that was a bad flash)

i put wizard love, and then use shell tools again. and now take 20m to flash and works.

after this i apply my extendend rom fix (wizard love ext rom cause drain) and aply the splashscreen from the second post.

all working great together

Please Help

I keep getting error message 300 - INVALID UPDATE TOOL. How do I know which update tool or the correct RUU version to use? I am using an MDA Vario which has the original WM5 from T-Mobile. :mad: :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ___:
Thanks, I know this procedure, but I don't really get at which point exactly I'm supposed to use it.

Lemme recap the steps I went through so that we are clear and you can (hopefully) spot what I've done wrong

Hard reset

Orange SPV M3000 WM5 AKU2

ActiveSync

Lokiwiz CID unlock

soft resets automatically

Lokiwiz SIM unlock

soft resets automatically

On with camera button down

Three color screen

USB plug => "USB displayed" is the bottom left corner of the screen

Execute RUU.exe contained in XM6 folder

Device recognized

Next, next, next (or "update" at some point)

Progress bar takes 3-4 mins to get to 99%, then holds for 5 more minutes and finally "update sucessful" and the phone reboots automatically, at which point I still can see the Orange bootscreen and therefore know it did not work :-(.

Appreciate any help!

Thanks!

Has the rom your flashing got a boot/splash screen in or is it just the os rom, because if its just you will still have your origanal boot/splash screens

I went from T-Mobiles 2.26 rom to this now my battery dains like mad I unplugged my phone at 7am from a full charge then left it asleep next to my bed till 10am and my battery is down to 78%...how can I fix this without reflashing? I have no access to a windows machine for awhile.

And it looks great. So that's why i was asking if it was possible to add the 2 more buttons to it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] corky:
Damm, i had crossbow reloaded 1.7.1 on my wizard. Flashed back to default rom as i always do, then flashed to this new one using shelltool. But the flash process never came to an end, usually it says "all done now do a hard reset" etc, but nothing, so after 30 mins (usually takes only 10 mins) i pulled the plug, it seems ok, its all there, but the splash screen is still from 1.71, it's not the new one that comes with this rom ?

Maybe ill try it again later when i get home from work

Any ideas why the splash screen never changed ?

Off to have a play
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Unless I'm mistaken (I'm not a g4 person) I don't think Shell Tool flashes the splash screens, only the OS. I'll be uploading the RUU for doing the splash screens in a little bit.

As for the CommManager. This is one Dr. P pointed me to over on the Hermes forum. Its a port from the Trinity. It is designed for only 8 buttons. Basically you lose the VoIP button (which never worked as I understood it) and the Vibrate button (I never used that from CommManager so don't see the point), so I'm not sure how much real "functionality" you really lose. You can always add the 10 button CommManager back on via a cab if this one bugs you (I'll post that in the second post when I update it), but for me, I love the nice big touch screen buttons. There is actually supposed to be a matching dialpad coming out too, but it hasn't been released yet.

And yes, to whoever commented, I basically pulled an all nighter. I had something change last night so I decided to use the time to start working on this, and once I started, I didn't want to stop until it was done. I will admit that it has minimal testing on it, but I felt with the Alpha version I released and how it worked, this one was on good ground.

As for BatteryStatus. Sorry, I will not put that in this rom. If you want it, then feel free to add it in via cab (I put a link to it in the first post). This rom is quick enough, and I didn't want to risk anything that might increase battery drain (as this rom is VERY good on the batteries). I know it has features beyond OMAP, but I made the decision to leave it out.

Finally, for those that were running the Crossbow Reloaded roms... WM5torage is fixed. I had a bug in the registry that I stumbled on, and it fixed that. I tried to test every app (that I can test) last night and they all seemed to work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] corky:
ok cheers for quick reply on the splash screen, thats what i thought as well, but when i went from core 2.0n to reloaded 1.7.1 the splash screen went over as well ? apart from the fact 1.71 took twice as long to flash than all other roms ?

I have to use use shelltool as mine is G4 locked and like it that way, i dont have any issues with my radio so i'm glad i just change the os.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this anyway. :)

I will put the splash screen on when you add the link

Radion issue in Egypt

i am from Egypt

and for us there is 3 GSM Networks

Mobinil

Vodafone

Etsalat

And i have lines in all of it with Radio 2.19.11 and 2.25.11 i have no problems with both even with this voice mail issue

Thanks , i wish that helps some one
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I forgot to comment on the Radio issue... The T-Mobile 2.19 UK radio is my recomendation (and a strong recomendation for Cingular customers) because it seems to be the radio that causes the fewest issues for people (just search the boards, and you will see that everyone that has had a radio issue on WM6 has went to 2.19 and the problems go away). Its not a perfect radio as it seems to not have as good signal strength in weaker areas, and some have had issues where when you lose GPRS you have to go to flight mode and then back or soft reset for GPRS to reestablish itself.

As with everything, its a recommendation I'm making, but if newer radios have worked for you in the past, the please continue to use them (as a Cingular customer, I don't have that option due to WM6 and their network having some incompatibilities with the newer radios). But please don't post in here that you are missing calls and SMS, or having VM issues if you are NOT using the 2.19 radio.

YMMV
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] zakhir_n:
Thank you!

Hey this ROM looks amazing, thanks a lot mfrazzz. Can anyone confirm that the push and hold comm manager, toggles vibrate. Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Yes, push and hold of the Comm button will switch you to vibrate. And by default, a push of the Voice button will do an AltTab function.

@ALL - I've updated the 2nd post with cabs for Cingular setups, RUU Splash, and the 10 Button CommManager that was in Crossbow Reloaded. Also lots of info there. The 3rd post has info on setting up and using MobileJustice (which is built into the rom). Hope no one needs it, but its there in case (so no excuse for not setting it up ;)).

I'll be off and on today and this weekend but I'm really going to try to take this weekend off from here (I think I've said that the last two weeks (plus) and still haven't done it... Yea, I'm addicted to this place ;)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
I totally concur with the 2.19 for us Cingy users in the USA. Newest is not always best, be it OS or Radio. Actually I remember Faria laughing at my "discovery" that the 2.19 worked better for me than the 2.25 or 2.68 (which he had months before it's "release") .. turns out he uses a VERY old GSM on his Wizard in the UK that works so much better than the newer ones.

And yes, that Trinity 8 Button is sweet! That, along with my PaulyA Black Big Button dialskin and I'm stoked!

Looks like a great job mfrazzz! (My wife inherited my Wizard and I'm not sure if she's gonna let go of the Faria, LOL!)

and btw, the HTTP link is working for me as I'm dl'ing it now.....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] garymeg:
I Guess you are on IE7. the way around this problem is to

Copy this link (put mouse over link right click and select copy)

Link :- ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/WIZARD/Unlocking/

Now open "My Computer"

Delete the "My Computer" from address bar and then right click and past the address into the address bar of My Computer NOT Internet EXplorer

Now press on the go button at the end of the address bar (If you hae no go button just press enter when text cursor is flashing in the address bar)

You should now see some files (4 at time of writing) select Shelltool_bugfixed.rar and drag over to desktop

Unrar and flash your rom with shelltools

Please don't ask me how shelltools works as i have not used it search forum for shelltools for how it works

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] addicus:
I came from the Xplore 2.0n rom. I chose this rom because it had half of the programs I already installed and tons of room left over for the ones not included.

I haven't been disappointed.

I'm not a fan of the comm manager because:

a. I have to actually go to it and click the WIFI symbol twice to make it start up in lieu of just turning it on from the battery status tray.

b. I can not navigate with the dbutton. I have to touch the screen. Yeah, yeah I'm petty.

I have added battery status because the processor just isn't fast enough for me without it. This is not to say the rom is slow. It is very fast in all responses, but I'm really multi tasking and the processor is the kicker here. (Just bidding my time for that HTC Kaiser baby!). I am having no issues with this rom and battery status.

I have an extended battery. From 9am-6pm starting at a full charge I end up between 50-60% battery left. This includeds MS Push Mail (50-100 emails daily), 2 gmail and 1 yahoo email account downloading every 15 minutes, web surfing (edge network), and 25-50 phone calls using a blue tooth head set (Gennum's Nxgen).

Call and sound quality are exceptional. The 2.19 radio gives me great reception on the Cingular/AT&T network. I get all my voicemails, text messages and have no issues such as dropped calls and poor reception.

SPB Mobile Shell works with no hitches.

HTC HomePlugIn was a disaster because it just muddied up the performance of the phone from start to end (damn because it looks really, really, nice).

I would suggest to add the hidesim.cab that is floating around here (I can give it to you if necessary).

Great rom MFrazz as it let me seemlessly change roms without a hiccup and I lost no productivity.

I give it a 4.8 out of 5 with hits coming from the comm manager and leaving room for any future hiccups.

I will officially change my signature now!
