Hmm well my usage is as follows...I tether ALOT because the cell is my primary way onto the net (hence wanting to make sure I could get internet sharing to work quickly)...I have push email setup via mail2web so activesync is checking in realtime... I am using callwave to have my voicemails sent to me as emails with the text in the email and a wav attachment to play the voicemail (I can also listen to them on the phone like normal)...I have oggsync which synce my google calendar with the phone and have various tasks displayed throughout the week. I'd say thats a typical user's "flow" if not a little more. ???

I have never seen any posting about down-upgrading, installing, ROMing is SUPER CLEAR like these posts , it took me a couple of hr to read all the posting back and fort to make sure that i understand everything details, and another couple of hr to start to do changing my HTC8125 form wm5 to WM6 2a . And here i am happiest Man in the world about my HTC8125 on WM6 2a . It is unbelievable about graphics, speeding , looking , functioning, powering . I'd take my hat off of these guys who creating and posting these up helping people . My donation as appreciation from me to you guys ( Mike ) is sent , i hope i can donate more than that :confused: , but it is just good for me now :) :) :) .

Once again very appreciated

NGOPHUSAI.

My HCT8125 is abused by me last 3 days have not found any problem yet, so for me WM6 2a is the best . I just found this XDA website 5 days ago , so i didn't try to use the WM6 first one yet, so no comment about that.

Since I flashed to this ROM and set my gmail account, any received gmail message also generates an sms. Since I don't have unlimted sms, this is a problem. Is there any way to disable this? Otherwise this ROM is great! Thanks for all the hard work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] startyourengine:
Wonderful rom!

Congrats mfrazzz on this great rom!

I'm new to this but after spending about 2 hours researching the downloading all the required files, I got r2a flashed on my stock wm5 wizard successfully on the 1st try.

The UI is pretty slick and the speed is definitely faster than wm5. Can't wait to try the voip on it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
If you are on tmobile and are connecting to gmail through them the notifications are alerts coming from tmobile...if not I have no idea why you are getting sms from gmail..has nothing to do with the rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Well I'm a little frustrated with the new version....unless I'm missing something it is missing the one feature I liked most...in the old version I could take a picture and it would auto send it to my gmail account..nothing had to be done by me because I had set it up at my default destination...in the new version gmail is listed as my "1 click destination" and the pics do not appear to get auto sent.....If I have to manually stop between pics (my camera is set to auto save to memory card and not stop between pics so I can take several one after the other) I might as well wait till all of them are done..attach all to a big email and send it myself.

mrfrazzz did you find something different? Oh..friendly reminder on your R3 alpha to check your glyph cache, file cache etc since they showed as disabled.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
Yea we need to figure this out...i dont have that much of a mem leak though, maybe about 1-4 MB by the end of my day.

Like I said earlier I have these installed:

WA3beta

WAD

Adobe Flash Lite

Resco Photo Viewer Pro

psShutXP

HTK

Memmaid ( can compress that Slide2Unlock to only 2.5 MB!)

Google Maps

IM+

all stored on my phone ( any suggestions of what could be installed on my card and not cause too many probs?)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Not to turn this into a Shozu support line, but I can set up an email address as a direct place to send pics (autoupload). I just put my gmail address in and it worked for me. I do see Gmail listed seperatly as an option for one click access. Not sure if this is the same thing or not as you had before. Personally I want my pics to a Picasa web album and then I can work with them there.

Ok, since you corrected me, my nick is mfrazzz ;). Yes, the glyph, file, and file filter caches were setup but there was a bug in how they were setup. I've already fixed that in r3 (verified it last night after I flashed, and it shows up fine in the Advanced Config (which is also included in the rom ;)).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
No need for IM+ to be on the phone..storage card should be fine...google maps should also be on storage card...adobe flash lite runs fine on storage card...psshutxp probably works fine on storage card..if memmaid is a "run it when you want it app" then it should be fine..

The only things that HAVE to be on the phone storage are things you would want to work if the storage card was ejected..such as dialer skins...magic button and task managers etc...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] usernotfound:
Couldn't find an answer to this anywhere else, but the shipping ROM on my 8125 when in the messaging program the left softkey would be "new"...making it nice and easy to create an SMS, email, etc. I recently put R2a full on here, and everything is working dandy, except that the left softkey is now "delete", and i have to hit menu>new>sms every time I want to send something.

Am I dumb or is there a way to change this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
You need to install wm5newmenu and put it on whatever softkey you want...then will let you do several functions. *Correction...this will work from the today screen...the menu's in the "messaging program" (Outlook?) are not controlled by the rom....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
No, you are not dumb, and no, there is no way to change this. Its an intentional feature of WM6. Microsoft supposedly did research and found that this was the prefered way of mapping the keys in its focus group. I used to actually argue for this change as I mostly only received SMS from systems that I manage and created very few SMS. But now with unlimited texting, I am sending more messages than I receive and I sorely miss the New button now. So my guess is Microsoft's focus group was a bunch of people that don't SMS much, or Sysadmins / DBAs that just get lots of SMS from systems and they need the delete more than the new button.

As Famewolf mentioned, you can install wm5newmenu and then map it to one of your soft keys. You can then customize it to do new SMS, MMS, Contacts, Appts, Tasks, and more. Pretty cool, but only works on the Today screen...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Here is a screenshot of how wm5newmenu looks in it's default menu config..I've applied it to my right softkey and changed the left softkey from Calendar to Contacts (which calls contactmanager v.011)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] usernotfound:
Okay...well...it only took holding the stylus on a message and then clicking delete before, now you have the wonderful ability to click on it and click delete without having to pause for a second. Meanwhile, to create a message went from 1 click to 3 :( It was nice that that button was "New" or "Reply" and it was just always what you hit to start a message no matter what the context. I've NEVER hit delete on a sms or email :(

Is there another messenger app I can use to replace the built in one?

Today the strangest thing happened to me, I've been using 2a full version since I registered in this forum and learnt how to upgrade my phone (2 weeks ago)

Late today I tried to send a SMS and it was rejected by the phone, tried to place a call and it was also rejected, the last thing I tought was the phone signal, since here in my apt. I always have great signal.

Well, I had no signal at all. Using comm manager I pressed the phone button twice and everything worked ok again.

I had 4 missed calls, 2 voicemails and 4 sms, so the signal was lost at least a couple of hours before I ever noticed it.

Here are the phone info, and as I said Im using 2a full

IPL/SPL 2.26

GSM 02.19.11

OS 10.1.0.011

My Cellphone Operator is CTI/Argentina

Any idea about what may be the problem?

Is there a watchdog for the phone signal? I mean an app to check every X minutes if the phone has signal or not and if after X+Y minutes reset GSM subsystem?

Thanks!

I'm sorry for all the trouble, since at my job and at my house i have cablevision (cable), they were having an outage and coincidence or not, the Wi-Fi wasn't working. So i just reseted the router and next day worked fine. The GPRS was working fine from start. The ROM takes a little time loading, i dunno why, and sometime freezes when restarting, but i think that's the phone (it's my 4th replacement). Anyway. Good job and thanks for the help!

Have you applied the mfrazzz radio rom fix in the first msg? If not, try that and see if it helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
I have noticed occasionally on soft reset (reboot) the phone will hang right after the clock shows but the page is still loading...have to remove battery but then it boots right up.

I've also have gprs "hang" on me one time this morning...could not navigate to any sites..phone was tethered to pc and was working when I went to bed but "hung" when I woke up and tried it...reboot solved it. This only happened after I upgraded my radio rom to 2.69.11 so I'm thinking about reverting to 2.25.11.

then map the button to this shortcut: start>settings>(system tab)/softkey

The 2.19 radio rom is the one known for having the LEAST issues but having slightly worse reception then cingular 2.25.11. I'd say wait and see if problem occurs again..if it does you can do a search on xda for cingular 2.25.11 radio rom and I'm sure you will find the thread.

Hi mfrazzz,

In r3 could you ensure that the sip setup is there as it doesn't install on r2.

Must be as there is no accessories folder under programs.

Great cooked Rom all of the apps are working wonderfully. I actually went and downloaded the German version of the TMobile base Rom, which changed my IPL/SPL to 3.08 and gave me a 2.69 radio; then flashed this Rom. Device has never been more responsive.

simple question, if I wanted to do a reflash, whats the best method for doing a backup of all the installed appz/data?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
r3 has the Advanced Config tool which includes SIP Config like setup and a lot more. A nice all in one tool..

Not sure why SIP Config got left out of the r2 releases. Oversight on my part.

Are you saying you can't install the SIP Config tool on r2? Or just that its missing after flashing?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
To do a full backup, you need to use tool like SPB Backup, Sunnysoft Backup, or Sprite Backup. These will backup your apps, registry and all. But you can only restore these back to the same rom (ie: You can't backup on XM6r2 and restore to XM6r2a as the roms are different). The program will allow you to do this but it won't work right.

So if you are switching between types of roms, bascially you are left with using PIM Backup to backup the info it backs up, then using cabs to reinstall your apps.

Another way you can save your data is using Activesync.

MDA VARIO Volume [Up/Down] Button Doesn't Work

I have a T-mobile Vario, and I did the complete install of WM6. Unlocked it, installed the 2.26 rom, then installed the WM6 rom. Everything works fine except my volume button on the top left-hand side does not work anymore. I would usually scroll up and down and it'd control the volume.

In settings, the buttons menu doesn't even list this scroll button as a button, which should be button 6 and button 7.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] PURESKILLZZZ:
I have seen that problem on a few varios . Most of the time it was an o/s switching issue . Try re-installing 2.26 .. See if the button works . If so then upgrade again .. Only in a few was it actually a hardware issue .
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kenkaniff:
Thanks for the reply. The button works when I'm moving down selectable tabs, or selecting down a menu. It just doesn't work like it used to where I would press up and the volume would be raised and press down and the volume would be lowered a notch.

When I re-install 2.26 and the button works, you're saying, to then install WM6, and it should then work like it used to?

I was thinking this feature was disabled for WM6.

Now I'm worried I may have a hardware problem.

I'm at work so I can't do this yet.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
If I'm understanding you, its because of Smartskey and not WM6. Go into the \Windows folder and find the smartskey.ini file. You'll need to edit this file and you can turn off Smartskey controlling the volume slider. By default Smartskey changes the volume slider when you are outside of the Today screen (and phone app) so that it will scroll the screen (and not control volume).

Accessories

Can I create a Folder called "Accessories" in the Programs?

IF so how?

Darren
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kenkaniff:
Thanks mfrazzz for clearing that up. I feel like such a newb!

I'm actually gonna keep Smartskey now that I know its function.

Is there a way however, for making it not page down to the bottom of the files, folders, etc? But to move down them one by one? I guess the D-pad can achieve that. I don't know what I'm asking for anymore.

That aside, I haven't seen a speed increase in my G3 phone. I haven't gotten a chance to install all the apps I used to have yet [I had a lot]. So it's really too early to say just yet.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kenkaniff:
Go to file explorer on your phone. Then go to the Windows folder then to Programs and then hit Menu and add a New Folder.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dleeming:
Just done it, but the folder does'nt show up when I go START/Programs ??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kenkaniff:
Refresh in file explorer when ur in the programs folder. Right now, ur folder is probably on the bottom of the page.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dleeming:
In File Explorer it is there but I want to see it when I am on my Today Screen then click on START and in the Menu select Programs (Just like mfrazzz has done it with the Toolbox Folder)

Darren
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
The path should be:

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

In that folder create Accessories (you will see that Toolbox is in that folder also).

I still don't quite see why having Accessories is needed. If you are installing from a cab, the cab should create the folder if its needed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dleeming:

Want bluetooth DUN back in WM6. Well here you go...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1400709

The thread I posted contains a few programs to be pasted into \Windows and some registry entries to be added. It re-implements Bluetooth DUN (which will make linux and mac users very happy) while still giving you the option of using Internet sharing if you prefer.

I have verified that this hack works on XDA6R2a. I encourage all to implement it. I have a few cheap $5 bluetooth dongles that refuse to use internet sharing because they all have the same mac id (11:11:11:11:11:11)....but they will connect fine using bluetooth dun which doesn't care about the mac id....my linux laptop was able to connect fine using Bluetooth DUN and my desktop which has a more expensive bluetooth dongle (translation: Not a cheap chinese copy) was able to still use internet sharing with no problem.

The only time I have not had wlan work was when I was tethered and internet sharing was enabled. Wlan will NOT come on while internet sharing is enabled..it's designed not to I think.

The 3.08 ipl/spl shaves about 4 seconds off boot time...no other real changes that I can tell.

Ok I have played with this for a minute and a few things I noticed ....

1.) In the recent programs list its always new and you restart the phone . I liked it better when it kept the list after a restart.

2.) When getting MMS & SMS there is no direct forward button you have to goto reply in the drop down menu and then forward.

3.) When on the dial pad you cant see all contacts and when you do its only the small part of the screen. Ok to better clarify you dont have the option to press contacts . So you dont get the whole contact screen with out exiting the dialer.

4.) When using t-moible OZ communicator the enter key doesnt send the message now.

Now I will say it has better wifi connectivity, Louder clearer speaker sound. Phone does perform extremely more proficient. Haven't had a chance to play with java yet so cant comment on that aspect.

Another vote for separate sms and mms in release 3 if that's an option. I never use mms and much preferred the implementation of sms in faria's real thing.

That said, this is a fabulous ROM and I'm loving it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Unless things change it's still using the Arcsoft combined mms/sms like r2a.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mobelby:
Ok, I have a question then.

In the previous version of arcsoft, you got a notification when the sms was sent. This does not appear in this ROM and I can't find a way of manually adding a notification.

By corollary does this mean there should be a notification if the phone can't send the sms for some reason ?

I also have the same issues with SMSDeliveryFix mentioned by other users in this thread - ie it does nothing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
One of the packages added is Schap's Advanced configuration (You can do a search to find the XDA thread on it) and one of it's menu options is "Disable SMS Notification" which is checked by default. You should be able to uncheck this and get the notifications back..at least I assume so..I dont' send alot of sms's.

You can install this app in r2a and try it out. Installing to storage card will be fine.

Or change this registry entry from 1 to 0 if you have a registry editor like total commander:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg=1 (Set = to 0 to disable and soft reset)
