Shelltool isnt known to brick devices. It is a relatively safe procedure because your only flashing an OS. That being said, shelltool is also a bit volatile too, sometimes you will get stuck on a splashscreen. Technicially this isnt a brick as you can recover your device. I suggest you reflash wizard love or your carriers rom then try shelltool again.

upx4ppc

Mrfrazzz,

Have you considered using upx4ppc to shrink the exe and dll of some of the apps you are installing? They would still take the same amount of memory but they would take less storage space and would potentially load faster from storage due to smaller size. I know I compressed all the apps on my storage card and it helped alot.

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get the VOIP Installed and working on this ROM?

Tried searching but had no luck.

Looks like you have to downgrade the IPL/SPL to a 1.xx version for this tool to do the real cool stuff. such as CID unlock. But, having said that. What happens when you re-up the IPL/SPL to like 2.xx or 3.xx? Will the unlock stay? for some reason i want to think no. granted I havent read the whole thread ;) ;) *hides*

Rom is still working great BTW.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Sorry, to be honest, I've never cooked my own extended rom yet (always been on the to do list, but I haven't done it). So I honestly don't know what has to be done or setup to make that work. There is a thread by Faria on how to do extended roms and I believe it has how to get them setup. If there is somethig I left out of the rom that breaks this, then please let me know and I'll fix it for everyone.

@Flamewolf - Would you like the moon also? ;) Ok, let me explain something here... XM6r2a is PACKED to the gills. If I remember correctly during beta I tried to add a file that was less than 100KB and the rom wouldn't load after that. Its basically completely full. So as I told the beta testers I had, if you ask for something else, you have to tell me what to remove also (that is the same size). Wizard roms are limited in size. If I remember correctly, just the base rom of WM6 (no camera or anything) is around 50meg. At around 57meg is the max size of a rom, so there is roughly just over 6meg to really work extras. I try then to determine what are things that are useful and will be used many times (not once and then not used again as its just for configuration) as to me those things can be added on later, used and then removed... Adding pbar and removing htc x-button would save some space, and using peekpocket in place of wififofum would also save space. But thats just to give you an idea of tradeoffs that have to be looked at.

As for compression, almost all of the OEM apps in this rom are already compressed. I will NOT compress SYS stuff in my rom as I honestly believe that is what caused the problems that some people had with Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 (Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.1 removed some of that compression and the problem went away for people). I tested compressing various things in the SYS folder by compressing them and moving them on my phone and they worked fine. But then when they were built into the rom that way, it seemed to cause issues, so I prefer not to compress sys stuff.

As for the recent suggestions, I haven't looked at them yet. [Edit] I just looked at the WST. Thats a program for your PC to connect and manipulate your phone. Not something to put into a rom (is that what you were suggesting?). Also note that wm5menu is in XM6 and was in the early beta of XM6r2 but had to be removed as I just didn't have space for it (and something else I was fixing or added won out for the space so I chose to remove wm5menu).

@Hallis - to answer your question... IF you go back to a 1.xx IPL/SPL then you have to do the CID Unlock all over again before you come back to 2.xx. As long as you stay on 2.xx (or higher) then you don't have to worry about CID unlocking ever again. Also, one of the reasons I've never went to a 3.xx IPL/SPL is I've seen others that have went to 3.xx and they couldn't get the Button rom to take them back to 1.xx on SPL. Not sure if thats just a handfull of people or whether its something about the 3.xx IPL/SPL. Call me a nervous Nelly, but if it ain't broken, why fix it (so 2.26 works just fine for me).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Hallis:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Whoops sorry, that was a typo on the nic. Honestly, nothing intended there ;)

The XM6 thread won't have the info that I mentioned. The XM6 Beta discussion was done on an email list that was seperate from this board (as I didn't want discussions here about it). So the discussions and my decision about removing wm5newmenu won't be found here. Was more just pointing it out that yeah, I know about it and had it in previous roms, but dropped it in favor of some of the new stuff I added to this rom. As always, you can add it in as a cab if you want that feature (I personally never used wm5newmenu much. I have used it but with MMS 4.0, it didn't work right for creating new SMS and MMS messages it seemed).

Hey guys, i decided to install wm6 on my used to be CID-Locked MDA by T-Mobile US. I was thinking "why not, i mean, i pay for insurance, so..." After tryouts since February of trying to install WM6 on a CID-Locked (idiot), i put the XDA Mobile Release. It works beatifully, the Windows Aero theme, gosh. Beatifull. I have a minimal problem. I can't connect sucessfully to Wi-Fi. Connects, but when attempting to go to a web page, or MSN or anything, doesn't work. Maybe if i install release 2a, i dunno. Let me know if anything. Thanks!

There were no changes around wifi between r2 and r2a (only real change between r2 and r2a was removing psShutXP and updating a couple of apps to newer versions). WiFi works fine for me on r2

Are you using IE, Opera, or Opera Mini to go to web pages. With Opera and Opera mini you need to make sure it is trying to use your internet connection (if you get an error about connecting just hit cancel and then I think it asks you to verify where to connect). IE should just work if your GPRS settings are all correct. Since you are on T-Mobile, make sure the last number of the settings for the server is .50 and not .050 (this is a bug in T-Mobile's setup cab as I understand it).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Also under settings, connections..make sure your internet connection is not set to use a proxy that may not be available to the wifi. I recently had activesync ADD a proxy to my connection that the pc needed but the phone didn't...disabled my internet on the phone till I found it and I was blaming the 2.69.11 radio rom at first.

That was the goal... :). To be honest, I haven't flashed another rom since July 4th (the day r2 came out. Yeah, I never even flashed r2a, just did the fixes of removing psShutXP out of my programs folder and have upgraded the software I used (like PIM Backup) directly on my phone). Downside is that some of the registered software I run is now timing out as I've hit the 14 day trial limits :) so I have to dig out my old registry keys to put them in...

Memory consumption in r6.2

Guys

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing larger than normal memory leaks in the new r6.2 version? I generally start the day with filesys.exe and shell32.exe consuming a few hundred k (less than a meg). By lunch time they are both up to 2 to 3 megs each, and by the afternoon, my wizard is so slow, with only 12 megs free that I have to reboot.

I did not see this in the r6 version, just this new version. Has anyone seen similar issues to this?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] PURESKILLZZZ:
Well the man speaks .... I am her now and as soon as I get a sec i will flash it just to see the upgrades and how many changes do I have to make in comparison to last version . But hey feel free to make XM6r3. You know I will try it the day you release it. Also if you like ill send you the new harry potter movie ... So you can watch it as you work ....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
Yes.

Not specificially (sp?) memory leak(s).

BUT several times this week my phone told me to close some programs (choices of Phone, Phone, or Active Sync) because of very low memory. No matter what I closed, my phone froze up and I had to reboot. Any ideas on why it is Active sync that causes this?

I'm hav WAbeta, WAD, IM+, MemMaid, Google Maps, Slide2Unlock, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, and psShutXP installed.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
I had to uninstall slide2unlock (even tried the 1.18 version) because it kept eating memory even with closeapps = 1 (makes it close completely after slide)...you do know it uses 5.5 meg of memory to run even when it's not visable? Thats a lot for a glorified screen saver.

Shane
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
The things I *think* mrfrazzz is going to try to do are:

Insert the latest .net SP2...it shouldn't take any more space since most are just bug fixes but will free up around 5 meg of storage card space and about 1 meg of phone storage (it copies some files to the phone..not the storage card)

Replace htc X button with pbar

Replace wifofofum with PeekPocket

Upgrade Pimbackup( to 2.5) and TodayAgenda (to 1.0 Beta)

Oxios CloseApps and Oxios Hibernate (free's memory but doesn't close apps) are both 4.5k each so he may have room for them

...and I have no idea what else..this is all guesswork...I would not even worry about upgrading if not for .net SP2 cause it's eating to much space. It's a very solid rom..I'm trying to get a friend of mine to install it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:

XM6r2 runs so well for me I've been hesitant to even try for r3. But I probably will now just to cook something else. Then I'll swing back to Crossbow Reloaded to relook at it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I've never had my phone reset on my while running XM6r2. This has to be due to apps that have been added onto it, or a configuration I haven't tried that causes some conflict or memory issue that causes the phone to reboot. I've played with IM+ some, but honestly don't use it much.

Can you list the apps you have installed? Perhaps you and others having the reboots can find the common app which might be the problem?

I can tell you I've run all day making calls..using the net..running programs..had my phone tethered to my pc for 6+ hours and I started out with 21 meg of ram and at end of day had 19.2.

Camera and Shozu

mrfrazzz,

On WM5 I used to use shozu (http://www.shozu.com) to auto email myself pictures taken by the camera. Under XM6R2a I get a warning on bootup that shozuRAP.exe is not valid (this is one of the two shozu files executed from the startup folder..the other being shozu.exe)...if I continue on and take some pictures nothing happens....

Is there a workaround to make shozu work or better yet is there a simpler way in WM6 to have pictures taken auto emailed...I do have a push email account setup in outlook and I'm sending the emails to myself on gmail.

Thanks!

unanswered calls BUG fixed?

Known Issues

* The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.

Hi, and first of all sorry for my bad english... but better bad than silence :-)

I use your 2a rom since 3 weeks on an xda mini s O2 Germany. I´ll never change back to wm5! No problems and great battery live. The phone is used with pushmail connected to an exchangeserver. It works fine within the last 3 weeks without problems. because gprs is active 24/7 i have often calls without notification. is there a reason to solve this problem?

Hmmm... Thats either something from WM5, or it was changed in Arcsoft 4.0. Hadn't noticed that before (but then I don't use SMS Delivery notifications).

I'm tempted to go back to Arcsoft 3.x as the 4.0 seems to confuse people. Anyone have a strong opinion on that?

I'm running an alpha version of r3 now. Got in a mode last night with creating and working on packages and decided to stay up and build a test build of r3. I'll probably send out Beta invites to people soon (although this probably won't be in beta long since I'm not making radical changes it appears). .Net Compact 2.0 SP 2 is successfully in this version, and the other changes mentioned before. Going to go back through the thread as I know a few people mentioned some other things to upgrade. Just like r2, there will be a Full and a Lite version of r3.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I've never used shozu, but looked at it when you (I think it was you) mentioned this before. To me this sounds like its an app that isn't compatible with WM6. Do they have a support website (forums or such) where you can ask there about getting this to work on WM6? If its a problem with my rom, then I can look and see if I can find anything, but I have a feeling the problem is with WM6 itself.

[EDIT] Possibly good news... I just looked at the Shozu forums and they just released in the last week a new version (3.2) and it specifically says Windows Mobile 6. The 3.1 version did not list WIndows Mobile 6. Can you try 3.2 and let me know if it works?

[EDIT2] Ok, so I installed Shozu 3.2 and setup an account. Crap... What have you done to me? This looks pretty cool. Seems to work just fine on XM6r3. Hooked it right up with my Picasaweb account and it uploaded the pic just fine. Going to play with Zucasts next. Also no problems with a reboot of the phone with Shozu installed. Dang, just what I need, something else to give me another reason to play with my phone more.

Have you rebooted your PC and does this still happen? This sounds like its an issue on your PC. Have you recently upgraded anything (like .net)?

I'm assuming that what you are saying is that as soon as you double click on the RUU then you get this message. Make sure there is an nk.nbf in that same directory.

There are links in the 2nd post with newer RUU utilities in the section for G4 users to get the splash screens. Maybe try downloading that and putting the nk.nbf file from my zip file into that directory.

If you give exact steps and exact error, that could help. Also what you have tried so far. But since it appears to be happening with different roms, then it sounds like an issue on your PC...

Memory Leaks....

You know, we are all talking about the applications, and not the use of the phone. If I have Adobe installed on my phone, and I don't run it, then it cannot really affect the memory (unless of course there is a startup routine in there for it).

I think the real clues lie in the following:

1. How many email accounts, and what are they.

2. How many contacts?

3. How many appointments in the calendar?

4. How many tasks?

I use my wizard for corporate and private use, so I sync with my Outlook (pst), I also have a POP3 email account and an IMAP account. I have over 2000 contacts and my calendar is action packed (of course you can only select to have the past 2 weeks, but you have to include all future events. This means that my notification queue is HUGE.

So I wonder if the problems really lie with the usage, versus the applications?
