-- Well man you may know by now that batterystatus is known to drain battery instead of saving it. Disable it, the performance of the ROM will be all right believe me
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
Here are my observations after about 30 hours of use:

1. better memory management over r1.

2. great battery life - been on this charge for the past 14 hours despite very heavy use.

3. no screen misalignment issues like I had with r1.

4. reliably using 2.69 radio rom with mfrazzz's cab, changing the value to 2. In the past the phone would not wake up for calls and text messages with any rom beside 2.19.

5. really fast GPRS. In the past it would top out at around 180 kbps, now I am seeing 200+ speeds.

6. whole UI seems zippier, except for that dreaded program folder slow-up. I've found that the best thing to do is wait for it.

7. turn off in the shutdown device applet only turns off the screen. What's the diff between that and standby?

8. significant decrease in reset time over r1. I've clocked it at around a minute-another 30 secs or so if TodayAgenda is enabled vs. over 2 mins for r1.

Thanks for the hard work, mfrazzz. I think this rom might have cured me of rom fever. ;)

Do you mean MIC Recording input? Or just talking on the phone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] boot_sectorz:
Great work. Tested all I can and seems to be taking me to the limit for sure.

Got only one thing I have failed to sort out. How do I restore the old sms/mms that I backed up? :confused: Has anyone sorted that out? Love them combined though! ;)

But would appreciated combined with the old ones. Maybe I need another program!:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
How did you back them up? As long as it wasn't with something like Spb backup you can just install the program you used to back them up to do the restore, then remove that program and start using PIM Backup.

As for the slow program folder issue. I let a few people try the Beta 2 version and the problem apparently went away for them. I'll look at redoing the build and I'm hoping its as simple as something happened during the build of r2. Otherwise I'll have to go back to Beta 2 and see what changes I made when I moved to the final (the biggest change I can think of was adding psShutXP in around that time, so something I did there maybe... And then its not working right anyway, so maybe I'll dump it in the next rebuild).

I'll ping a few of you that have posted about the slow programs folder and give you a new rom to try out. We'll try to get this worked out as this is the only real issue I see with this release so far.

As for Battery Drain some are reporting, If you are having this, then I ask that you flash back to an official rom (G4 users have to do whatever they do for this, Wizard Love I guess) then flash this rom. Don't add ANYTHING else to the phone and tell me if you still have the Battery Drain after about 24 hours or so with the phone in this state. Understand that anything you add to the rom (especially various builds of BatteryStatus) changes the dynamics of all roms and how they behave. If you are running push mail or some app that connects to the net every 15 mins or so, then you are going to see more battery drain, and its just hard to compare. For me, those in my beta test, and others in this thread, there really isn't battery drain on this rom beyond what is seen on any other WM6 (and most reports is that battery drain is less on this rom that most WM6 roms out there).

One thing that I'm finding very frustrating is how a rom seems to behave differently on different phones. All I can say is that due to this, what works for some may not work for you, and if I can't reproduce it, its doubtful I can "fix" it when its not broken for me. Makes me wonder how different some of the hardware and things are in the different versions and builds of the wizard devices...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Do you have GPRS set up on your phone? I think NoData requires at least GPRS to be setup, otherwise you see errors like this. I'm pretty sure I saw this exact same error right after I flashed my phone, but then I realized I hadn't run my GPRS cab. After I did that, the error didn't show up again.

Oh, and my original thought was the full version would be called "Great Taste" and the Lite version "Less Filling" but I was afraid it would confuse people (especially those not from the USA and not familiar with those beer commercials) ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
This is a bug. The shutdown should turn the phone completely off. This (I'm pretty sure) was working in Beta 2, but for some reason isn't working in this build. As I look at the program folder issue, I'm relooking at psShutXP as I sort of suspect something happened with this and there may be a connection.

This was one of my main goals with R2 was to get rid of the LONG startup time issues the first release had. So far so good...

This was a goal of mine also... I'm ready to stop flashing and just sit on a rom for awhile...

GREAT ROM

OMG this is absolutly the best rom ive used to date everything wrongs nice and smooth only thing i notice is that when u go to mobile youtube n try n view a vid is says can not connect to network is ne1 else having this problem or know how to reslove it??

I'm now sure I have a bug somewhere. I used PIMbackup to backup my messages. So thought it would be easy to restore. I tried and failed. I even went as far as deleting the contents in order to restore (backing up the contents in the first place). But the folders are empty. All previous backups failed.

So I resorted to just live for now with the new messages, but restoring them also failed. So me thinks I downgrade, try to restore then upgrade the ROM again. I have prepared 3 ROMS to see work through the downgrade and upgrade. Anyone got last words, I'm 30mins from the "Procedure"!:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] boot_sectorz:
30mins....... here goes a flash. Will report the results later when I'm done
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] boot_sectorz:
Tried using WM6Titanium_Version2 but restore could not work there too. So crossing my fingers that this wont brick my phone. Especially that my supplier has not yet brought in my JasJam, went through this process (for the love of funny smses my wife sent me! - could be easy asking her to resend as I love this ROM)

So had to flash with CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE. Then tried restore for my messages and worked like a charm! But IPL/SPL 1.01

So will now start going back to the future. I love my Wizardiry!

Messed start XDAr2 without updting IPL/SPL fingers crossed I remembered clearly "You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other)" So can I get into bootloader just after finish and update these? All done IPL/SPL 3.08

XDAr2 and still no way to restore my messages. 300 records found in file, 0 inserted in Database!

Awesome, worked on the 3rd try. I love challanges, they surely piss me off!!!

Ok maybe it will help someone out there.

Just a note of what I've experience. Once a while, when I open 'Programs', in the midst of loading the program icons, the phone hang for a while (e.g. 5-10 seconds). Just a note to see if others are experiencing the same thing.

I don't want to be rude but you've got over fifteen hundred posts on these forums but you couldn't take the time to read through this thread before posting? The problem you mentioned has been mentioned by many others above as you would know if you had taken the time to take a look. Mfrazzz has a great history of supporting his ROMs and I expect this is something he'll solve and fix shortly. Until then, perhaps "Search" could be of use to you?

It should be noted that I often help out newbies and really dislike it when people come down hard on people who ask silly questions in their first or second post. However when someone with 1500+ posts can't read through the thread of a ROM he's going to flash to his own phone then I find myself somewhat less forgiving.

Read the first, second and third posts of this thread instead of just grabbing a rom, flashing it, and then posting (without reading) and expecting people to do things for you!!! I don't type all of that stuff in my releases just to see myself with large posts. I try to provide EVERYTHING you need to get this to work, and provide lots of extra info (Like how to get it to show AM/PM instead of military time). If you are too lazy to read, then go back to an official WM5 rom and don't flash custom roms anymore.

I've deleted all the rest of this post that I wrote (it was LONG) as its a rant that I don't feel like really posting now after I've now cooled off some. What I will say is that I know there is an issue with the program folder and psShutXP in this rom, so I"M going to work on fixing these issues. After that, I think I'm done with public releases of roms. I have to saw I've enjoyed giving back to the Wizard community, but lately its been a real drain for me and I don't even enjoy coming here much anymore due to it.

Update Error in 99%

Hi. I have K-Jam (ipl/spl 2.16).

I've used the Dr Puttingham tutorial to downgrade (using button's 1.05 ROM)and unlock my device using lokiwiz (worked fine).

After that, my ipl wasn't 2.xx (pre-req to upgrade to wm6). I've tried to apply T-Mobile 2.26 ROM, but didn't work (my mobile is a regular k-jam).

So, I've installed k-jam rom (to update the ipl and spl to 2.xx).

When I tried to update do wm6, I've got 302 Update Error in 99% of install.

So, I've recovered to button's 1.05 ROM.

What did I do wrong?

Could anybody help me?

Great ROM!

I downgraded to T-Mobile Base ROM, then upgraded. T-Mobile's base ROM installed the 2.25.11 (I think that's it) radio, and I haven't ANY problems.

I've tested A2DP, regular bluetooth, WIFI, SMS and everything works like a charm.

I have a feeling I am going to stay on this ROM for a while ... a long while.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
This was a really hard one and it took me a lot of trial and error to figure this out, and I'm pretty happy with the solution I found.

There is NO initflashfiles.txt for this package!!! Its actually done with registry settings via editing a SYS file.

You have to edit the file: SYS\OEM_Lang_0409\mxip_oem_translation_0409.provxml

In this file you need to modify the following line:

<parm name="TotalApplets" value="8" datatype="integer"/>

And replace the 8 with a 9 (as you are adding an Applet to the list. Then you need to add the following code:

<characteristic type="HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet8">
<parm name="Name" value="NoData" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Title" value="NoData" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Path" value="NoData.exe" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="CmdLine" value="" datatype="string"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\NoData">
<parm name="Group" value="2" datatype="integer"/>
</characteristic>

The NoData package will only have 4 files in it after you do this: The .dsm file, NoData shortcut (really thats not even used so you could not have that I think), NoData.exe, and options.xml.

Hope that makes sense. So yeah... Sometimes there is more to cooking a rom than just adding packages, and you have to dig to find out how things work ;). Like I said, that one was frustrating as heck to figure out at first.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Yeah... Read the thread before you post. This is a known issue and its been talked about all over this thread. I've also stated a couple of times (one time just a couple of posts before yours!) that I'm looking for a solution for this and will try to find a fix for it.

Yeah this was my suspicion... I'd like others to try this for a "quick fix". But I've posted a test rom in the 4th post of this thread (both Full and Lite versions). The test rom removes psShutXP out of the rom and updates PIM Backup to 2.4 (latest version). If you had the slow folder issue, please try the above fix and if you could, try the new rom build and report back on it.

XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a!

Ok, I've updated the first post and the official version is now XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a (or XM6r2a). This version removes psShutXP from the rom (and thereby fixes the issue with the programs folder being slow or hanging the device). Also PIM Backup is upgraded to v2.4.

If you don't want to reflash, then just remove the Shutdown.lnk and the Display Switch.lnk from your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder, and this should resolve the issue.

Thanks to ajahoic and charly_mx for confirming this fix and charly_mx for the quick test of the r2a rom.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] paranormalenigma:
Yes! I found the solution to my slow-boot time!

Previously, I had troubles with XM6 R1 as well as XM6 R2 (this ROM). The phone used to take up to 4 minutes to boot on my cingular 8125 (stuck on last boot screen for several minutes), however once it booted it would run fine. Soft-resets became a pain in the @$$, as the boot time literally took FOREVER.

However, after spending quite a while, I FINALLY found the problem - a program I had installed, SPB Pocket Plus, was

conflicting

with something from XM6(however not with Crossbow 1.7). Uninstalling the program didn't help, so I had to hard-reset and re-install all my programs EXCEPT SPB Pocket Plus. Now my total boot time (time from hitting the power button to seeing the Today Screen) is under 45 seconds! Awesome!

To prove that it's SPB Pocket Plus causing this issue, I took my other wizard (T-mobile MDA) and flashed it to XM6 R2, then installed ONLY SPB Pocket Plus (nothing else). Guess what happened? 4-minute boot-up time again!

I only used SPB Pocket Plus because it added an "Alt-Tab" and "Close ALL" feature which I found extremely useful (anyone know of any other Alt-Tab solutions?).

Anyway, now that that's figured out, I'm running XM6 R2 flawlessly, 45 second boot times, and a total of 6 seconds to go to the /WINDOWS folder from root. I'm using the 2.69 radio with your fix and no missed calls yet. The ROM runs fast and perfectly, and no issues with the Program folder either. Thanks mfrazzz, I'll be sticking to this for a while! Keep cooking!
