Thanks for your hard work mfrazzz, it is appreciated. Unfortunately there's no real way of knowing how many users have flashed your rom without a problem. By the nature of it, the majority of posters have issues and are looking for resolutions.

Fortunately I am one of those with no probs :) the only minor issues have been with apps I've installed and then they were fixed relatively easily.

For the record I have a G3 Wizard and always re-flash T-mobile 2.26 before flashing the latest rom, it takes longer but does seem to be worth it.

PS. I stumbled across your thread on Weather Panel the other day, thanks for that as well.

i flashed 1.7 right from 1.5.. didn't even bother going back to a carrier ROM .. mostly cuz my De-compressor wasnt working righ and wouldnt let me unzip.

mfrazzz,,

I just want to add my name to those very satisfied w/1.7. I've had it installed for two days with Voice commander, Ewallet, weather panel. Yes, I've had a few more reboots but I am stil pleased!! Keep up the good work and don't let the noob's get you down. Anyone who needs to have it perfect should go back to the provider's WM5!!!! Thanks again!

I wanted to take a sec to say the ROM works great... I had a little trouble during the flash process as I was using the shell tool since my phone is locked. I was running 1.5 Reloaded and 1.7 seems to be a lot stabler and faster, not to mention my battery actually seems to be lasting a lot longer. I flashed from the stock ROM of course, and it took me several attempts before it was successful. I didn't have any problems at all on the 1.5 Reloaded ROM, just the 1.7 ROM. Keep up the great work!

First of all thanks for the great ROM I really liked it .

I have seen it having some conflicts with other applications at times.

I also noticed I can not activate the Voice command(once I install it) through my bluetooth headset. Is there a reg entry to enable that?

Thanks again.

I had trouble until

I had trouble installing this on my Wizard until I downloaded this file

G4 step by step install wm6.zip - ZIP archive, unpacked size 89,868,419

from a forum link. I was using the same procedures explained in this download the only thing I did different was use his copies of the tools packed in the zip archive.

I have gone through and used all the features I use on my phone including bluetooth GPS receiver and everything works great so far.

How can they dare?

I wish I could give a detailed feedback on my findings after almost 2 days running this ROM, but I better save it for another day, this time I just want to make a couple of comments on the quoted comment from Master mfrazzz:

1.- NOBODY has the right to DEMAND absolutely NOTHING from ANYBODY in these forums, specially from talented people like mfrazzz who are giving their personal and family time ( can bet you money!), knowledge and skills to make this site a UNIQUE site in the entire world. NOBODY DEMANDED qualifications of any kind to become a member of this site which is an example not only on the technology side, but in the human side where people from around the world collaborates to solve issues, share knowledge and all just for the fun of it.

For those demanding people: Go to imeicheck, M$, and the cellular companies and demand from them after you have PAID them, this site is not for you and the mods should expell you for such attitude!!! Here, as in everywhere the magic words still are the same: THANK YOU and PLEASE !

2.- Dear mfrazzz: PLEASE Go and and enjoy a nice weekend or more days if it´s possible for you, and THANK YOU for such an incredible job that you have done putting together this great art piece.

Add my name to the satisfied list. No issues so far which is more than I can say for some of the other newer ROMs. I haven't had the keypad issue fortuneately which seems to be the show stopper for some people.

If I didn't like it I would just try one of the many other ROMs or even the original from the carrier.

Just ignore the whingers. I think I have tried just about every ROM out there and if I found the perfect one just what would I do with my leisure time!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edde:
Do you still have the MS Voice problem? it seems to be a conflict with the button configuration see my previous post for the fix:-

Just a quick note on the Phone Keypad not showing up after flashing. I had this problem, but I also put on custom dialer skins from http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.html and after installing the phone keypad was back. If you can't get the phone keypad to appear through any of the other workarounds try this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I've uploaded a test rebuild (couldn't sleep last night and was up early this morning). This is version 1.7.1 . The differences to 1.7 are:

A lot of the compression I did in 1.7 has been removed

Adobe Reader Removed due to the compression on other things making the rom too big

AltTab added and is mapped to the Comm key (this should fix the problem with Voice command people complained about).

A few other things that I don't remember now :rolleyes:

People that have had the dialpad issues are what this is aimed at. If 1.7 was working for you, then stick with that version. I've flashed 1.7.1 to my phone and so far it seems fine, but I really haven't tested it much, so consider this a public Beta.

I reserve the right to pull this off of RapidShare if I find something I don't like or if others find the keypad issue still exists (I'll post if I do this). Please do NOT MIRROR this without my permission as this is NOT an official release but one I'm trying to see if it fixes the issues with 1.7 that some have had.

Its a gorgeous day in Colorado today, so I doubt I'm around the system much after this, so don't expect any responses from me until tonight (MDT) at the earliest, or maybe even Sunday night my time.

I've been testing this rom for 2 days and it seems to by fast and stable. No battery drain. Just after flashing it i didn't have problem with dial pad, but i was paying with a bit and had to hard reset. After hard reset dial pad was gone, I didn't have time to hard reset again and reinstall software i've install before noticed dial pad is missing so i installed wm6-BB-smartdial_mcb-eqx.cab, did soft reset and dial pad appeared and now everything is ok, so it might be solution fore somebody to.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] abasu2003:
After two days of flawless performance, my dialpad disappeared. No idea why, but I watched it disappear when answering a phone call. This seems different than the other people who never had a dialpad to begin with.

Anyway, mine came back after a couple of soft resets (not hard) so I have no idea whats going on or why that would be the case.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] FiSHGRAPHICS:
Yeah I've been trying all last night and all day today as well and finally today I'm getting the WM6 Loading, but then it gives me a msg saying Error: \windows\AutoConfig.exe can't be found.

After using the rom some more. I too have had my dialpad disappear. It was there earlier but now its gone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kapster:
Hey, this is good to know. I will try it and post results. Which one in particular did you use? or does it matter.

EDIT: 2 soft resets later, its back.

Also I want to add for people that have a bluetooth stereo device (i have jabra 620s). This rom works well with minor tweaking. Audio quality went up for me when I changed maxbitpool value to greater than the default 30 (changing to just 35 made a difference). Also with this rom stereo mode pairs automatically when I turn the headset on. THIS IS GREAT. In wm5 I would only be able to enter headset mode when I turned the 620s on. I use to have to readd the device every time in order to get stereo to work.

Crossbow Reloader 1.7.1

I'm running v1.7.1 now and I love it. I didn't have any keypad issues when flashing, turned it off and back on and still no issues. I haven't had any bugs so far. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] melvynadam:
Had you had the keypad issue with v1.7? Have you tried the procedure mentioned earlier in this thread to reproduce the missing keypad issue (connect to PC then disconnect and try the phone)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] melvynadam:
This is not a solution for people that like the SmartDial feature (many threads on xda-devs indicate that this is something that users here really appreciate) because these dialer skins disable that functionality.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] melvynadam:
So for those of us using Office XP and/or 2003 are there any benefits? If not, I'd like to add my name to the list of people who are politely requesting a second branch of Crossbow Reloaded with Office2003.

MrFrazzz,

I am astonished at the effort you put into the support for this free product. You made it clear that you built the ROM for your own personal use and that you were releasing it into the wild for others with no guarantees. Nevertheless you've tirelessly worked to solve each and every problem. You have my respect. Now it's time for you to take a break and avoid the addiction of coming here every twenty minutes to check that your creation is not causing problems. Each time you've posted that you'll be away for a few days you come right back a few minutes later - take a well earned rest!

When you have the patience, time and availability to work on this again I would love to see a release identical to v1.7 (not 1.7.1 as I want Adobe) but with Office2003 since I have no need for the 2k7 support.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
:), thanks for those kind words. And yes I'm addicted to this place and my creation....

One of the "bad" things about having a stable rom, is I now trust my phone and use it almost like a laptop for internet access. (I'm typing this on my phone now). So I can check this place from anywhere and do quick replies.

IF I do a 2003 branch, it would be from 1.7.1 (or whatever is stable) but Adobe would be in it as I'd have room for it.

I do have to say, I like OneNote in 2007 now. Nice for quick notes, grocery lists, etc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] melvynadam:
OneNote is very tempting but the headache of always worrying whether you've accidentally saved something as a Word 2k7 file before sending it to a bunch of Word 2k3 users is something I don't need.

Besides, there are so many competing great note-taking apps for WM6 - PhatPad, PhatNotes, ListPro etc.

A great rom

mfrazzz, just want to say your 1.7 is great. So far no problems after a few days. I did have to install two files for TCPMP to play streaming radio when using Sirius WM5. I have attached this in case you wanted to put these into your next rom. All you have to do is drop the two files in \Windows on the device

Thanks for your hard work on this site.

Up and Running

I run 3 day trial of the 1.7 as is (no 3rd party applications installed) in 2 different phones, during these days I had several issues, among them:

PHONE # 1 (TMobile 2.19 UK Radio)

1) The so mentioned phone key pad vanishing, allways in a random basis (I can not associate a particular event to this issue).

2) Several Todat screen lockups needing soft reset.

3) An excessive battery drain and

4) Lost display calibration several times.

PHONE #2 (Original 2.25.11 Radio)

1.- Several missed calls (didn´t ring at all)

Today I flashed 1.7.1 in PHONE#1 and so far none of the above issues have appeared, looks for me than more than 1.7 issues these were related to the state of my phone (G4 CID locked and missing/corrupted Extended ROM) and the way I flashed 1.7.1

This is the flashing sequence I used this morning:

1.- Flashed Wizard Love

2.- Flashed a clean Extended ROM

See post #526 of this tread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=304876

3.- Flashed 1.7.1 using mUn ShellTool ( BTW: Shell Tool hangs and doesn´t prompt with message that flash has been finished, I left Shell Tool to run up to 35min before I disconnected the USB cable)

4.- Flashed T-MObile 2.19 UK Radio

As far PHONE#2: Still runing 1.7 but flashed this morning T_Mobile 2.16 UK Radio and no missed calls or lack of ringing so far.

As this moment both phones are working just great, PHONE #1 looks faster than #2.

Again: THANK YOU MASTER mfrazzz, THIS IS AN ART PIECE !!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] freeyayo50:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] clia:
This is a great ROM. I don't want to move back even it does run as smooth as I expected.

May I ask a silly question - how can I un-install a utility that has embeded in the ROM? I have a full version of 1-calc but it will require uninstall the previous installed version in order to get this full version in.

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
You can't uninstall something that is in the rom already. DOEs 1-Calc full complain that 1-Calc is already there? I would think you could just install it and it would be fine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Thanks. I'm really gun shy with 1.7 right now due to the dial pad issues. Some love it (I personally did as I had no problems) and others have real issues with it.

I've grabbed those files, but thats a 1/2 meg, so not sure I can put them in without removing something else (I had originally planned on building TCPMP into this rom, but size constraints prohibited that and I went for HTC Audio Manager instead).

May have to start thinking about an extended rom next ;)

@Luiggi - Thanks for the dual test and the feedback. Would be interesting to get your feel for how 1.7 and 1.7.1 compare to each other speed wise. I never considered overcloacking 1.7, but since putting 1.7.1 its felt slightly slower a few times so may turn overclocking on with it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] luiggi:
Both are 8125

Both are Cingular 8125 G4 CID locked, I spoiled phone #1 sometime ago when I tried to flash the shipped ROM in Cingular site I lost the Extended ROM. Other than this both are exactly the same
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] golfernutnflorida:
I wouldnt run a rom with an extended rom. No offense. Because of the whole G4 issues. There are two different G4 versions, the one I have the extended rom cannot be accessed without a cab file which I wouldnt dare load. I normally load up the Wizard Love rom and then flash whatever rom I am going to install. I am fully unlocked so I dont have to use shelltool.

As far as the dial pad issues, I have none.

Maybe just make reference of those two files when you start a thread. I had to go searching for it , 15-30 pages deep of the WM6 Wizard forum. I ran into it once before so I knew the fix, just had to find the files.

I am going to load the 1.7 on my wife's phone soon.

Thanks man!!!

i think i found out why the phonepad missing, got something tp do with Mobile justice.. Flashed the ROM few days back... no prob with the phonepad.

Last nite decided to enable the mobile justice.. This morn just realised phone pad missing when i wanted to make an urgent call... when i disable the mobile justice, reboot my pda.. phone pad was back... i tried enabling mobile justice again and phone pad disappeared...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Interesting. Only problem with this theory, is that I was running with MobileJustice turned on on my phone with 1.7 and I had a dialpad (after reflashing when it had disappeared). Good info though if thats reproducible.

Another happy Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 user

Just adding my 2¢... 1.7 works great on my 8125. After flashing, sure enough, no keypad. Since there was nothing on the phone anyway, I did a hard reset right away. Magically, the keypad showed up, and the phone's been working great for the past three days.

Thanks for all the hard work, mfrazzz... and everyone else.

Here also still no big problems, running more 3 days, with nog reset.

I have not tested much software, but the rom itselfs runs smooth.

WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG RELEASE ;).

Only thing what I have done is the clean storage option, because I had troubles with flashing (not the problem of this rom!!!!) after that no problems!!!.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Hellsblade:
I hope you mean a "soft"reset, because thats when i get my dialpad back. But internet explorer over active sync, is not my problem. I cannot replicate this through the procedure you describe.

I think there are maybe some issues with graphics here?(wild guess). For instance, I use Batterystatus with 3 rows. After every softreset the today screen seems to rebuild twice. First BS looks OK, but at the second only the percentage and the batterry load meter appear. When i quit BS and restart it from the today screen i see the 3 rows again. I already upgraded to the latest BS 1.04 beta3 build 0204, but that did not solve the problem. It does not seem to happen at every softreset. Voice command works ok with my Sony HBH-DS970, but the mp3 playback sound quality seems worse (with this ROM). I have made some registry changes in my old ROM over time to improve the sound quality, so i will try them to see if it will improve. also Voice Command (i use it when i ride my bike to listen to the music and answer the phone every now and then, does not seem to talk back :-).

I changed to 1.7 today from an older PDAVIET version because of spontanious reboots. Hope to try 1.7.1 tommorow.

Update (June 5th): The graphics issues were solved by installing newer versions of the SPB software i used (pocket plus). So thats a load of nonsense wich can be ignored ;-). The sound issue is discussed in a Hermes thread over here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=308752. These settings improved my sound quality. So overall still not being able to reproduce the disapearing dial pad issue (i saw it only one time until now), i think i'll stick with this version for a while.
