Well...I already installed pbar when r2a already had x-button..just went into xbutton settings and disabled the checkbox's for it to be used...and enabled pbar.

As for memory and storage ..I don't remember and I'm running a beta which is giving me around 39 meg of phone storage and 25 meg of memory at bootup after installing all the stuff I normally run...and it's pretty packed to the gills...thats the R3 version hopefully everyone will have access to in a day or two. We are trying to nail down a glitch in the current beta to be ready for distribution ( I was up till around 3am flashing my phone with a test build). It's 8:28am here now. ;)

Alpha Beta Gamma Check Mate

Thats because you asked ME about the phone..not mfrazzz. You then asked HIM for the beta AGAIN right after he said the true release should be out in 24 to 36 hours.

Perhaps if you posted less of the crap this post was referring to (the original post has apparently been deleted) you'd be taken more seriously. Additionally I also told you that the beta was distributed to those who've donated to support mfrazzz's work.

Your profile says you are in "Da Bronx" and yet your calling everyone mate...British tendencies? If you like to flash rom's so much why don't you grab a kitchen a build one up custom just the way you want it?

Hey mfrazzz, I have been running 2a exclusively since its release with no issues, it has been great, and I am really looking forward r3.

I think I might of hosed my phone.

This is some of the information that I wrote down.

Cingular 8125

IPL 2.25

PL 2.25

GSM 02.25.11

OS 02.25.11.1

Then I installed the Wizard Love, that updated OS to 2.26.10.2

G4 phone

Everything was fine.

Then I downloaded the XDA Mobile 6 r2a

and it fails at 99% says error 302 update error.

I tried XDA Mobile 6 r2 same thing

I then tried Wizrd Love, same thing.

Not sure if hard boot will do anything here, Or I have the WM5 cd.

When I start it up I get the rainbow colors.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Based on your IPL/SPL above, you have a G3 and not a G4 (G4 ends in .0001, so like 2.26.0001). If you are at the rainbow screen, then you are not hosed / bricked. Go get the latest official rom for your phone and flash it. YOU then need to do the CID Unlock procedure. See the stickie at the top of this forum on flashing your phone as it will step you through it. Do EVERYTHING, don't skip a step. Post further issues with flashing in that (or another flashing thread) as this thread is for supporting XM6r2a.

Good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I want to clear one thing up here... Donating does not get you into the beta testers. I have people doing beta that have not donated (and some that have). I pick beta testers based on posts I see from them in the forums (not just this thread) and based on things I look for (heck, I've had people with only one post help beta a rom as it gives me a newbie view, which helps with the quality of the product).

I just want to make it clear that you can't buy your way into the beta program, and I'm not trying to make a buck on this in that manner.

XM6r3 STATUS: Another beta build just went out to the testers. I think I have the glitch finally fixed. The rom will NOT be out today. Tuesday afternoon / evening (Mountain Daylight Time) at the earliest now... It will be worth the wait though...

MS Voice Command with Bluetooth Headset

I'm just getting started here and this is my first post.

Thanks to mfrazzz for the ROM he's made available here, and to all the other participants in this thread and this forum.

I've installed XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a, and everything is working for me so far. I'm still exploring all the new stuff in WM6 and the apps that were cooked in to the ROM.

With WM5, I used voice tags in contacts, but I've always wanted to be able to dial a number using voice. I installed MS Voice Command 1.6 US, and I'm playing with it, but it doesn't work with my Bluetooth headset.

I've been searching through this thread and I don't see anthing about getting that to work. I have seen some instructions in other threads for other WM6 ROMs, but I'm not confident those instruction are relevant to the ROM in this thread.

Please advise if it's possible to get MS Voice Command 1.6 US to work with Bluetooth headsets with XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a.

Thanks, XdaFile

Update

It must have been user error!

I can press the voice dial button on the bluetooth headset to initiate a Voice Command interaction, just like the MS Voice Command help doc says.

Got through everything, if you recall my post the other day.

I noticed that you posted XDA Mobile 6 on 8-6, so is that the new one?

Are they all stable? What seperates your version from the other guys? I have been messing around with this phone for 6 hours. I'm glad I'm almost there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
A new version will be out in next day or so. A description of the current version is in the first post.

Thank you & some follow-up

Thank you very much for prompt answer, Famewolf.

Wow, being awake all night... It sounds like you're having lots of fun with this ROM.:) And it sounds like a lot of memory for a ROM that full. Is it 39M with the loaded version or with the light one?...

I've tried the original version of that ROM when it was released. It was very nice visually but had some issues with stability (disappearing phone app, SD card was recognized at first but not later, etc). Some of these issues turned out to be due to Bat Status (I posted an exact description of Bat Stat symptoms in another thread dealing with NTS's Jag; but problems are similar with other ROMs, too). It turned out that some Bat Stat versions cause severe problems upon soft reset - and some don't (Cing8125 pointed to a safe version). Mfazz, if you're reading this, you might wish to warn people about it in the first couple of posts where you're mentioning Bat Stat.

Famewolf, how about the speed and stability of the current version?...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Sleep? Sleep is overrated. More coffee!

I only run the "full" version but the rom doesn't use an extended rom so all available phone storage should be available. I just installed weatherpanel and a skin for it to phone storage..that took about 2 meg so I'm currently down to 37.3 meg of phone storage free with memory going from 20 to 25 meg depending on what I'm running. It would really be better if you read the thread to verify what I'm telling you but mfrazzz's rom's are known for being very stable...the new one hopefully will continue that tradition which is why weve been testing it so much (it's 04:11 am here and I finished installing the latest build about an hour ago which fixed a broken shortcut and added some registry tweaks to speed up PIE surfing. I use batterystatus with dynamic scaling..as long as you don't try to overclock higher than the 260 mfrazzz suggests as a cap you should be fine. I posted screenshots of my today, dialer, and music player a few posts back. When the new release comes out give it a try and you can tell US how it compares to the other rom's. ;)

When I tried Voipbuster, I didn't need to give any payment details until I actually bought credit. I guess you mean with 'free landline' not an actual landline (how could that be free?) but a phone number for receiving calls. Voipbuster offers that for just 1 euro.

i get several errors when i flash the new rom:

- A popup says that windows/TimeWizard is missing

- I cant view my contacts

Solution?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
There is not, and to my knowledge never has been a program called "TimeWizard" in either r2a or the new version r3. The link to the new version is in my signature. You obviously have flashed something other than what you think you flashed or your phone is still cid locked and is not allowing the update. You should read the 1st post and follow the links to the step by step instructions on how to flash a rom and how to cid and sim unlock it.

As to your contacts...if they were on your phone the flash will wipe them...you should have backed them up with pim backup prior to flashing. If they were on your sim then they are hidden by default..you can use the sim manager to copy them to phone or in R3 you can run Schaps Advanced config and disable hiding of sim contacts.

True indeed but it covers all of this WM6 rom mate. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Contrary to what some have told you, you posted in the correct place. Each version has it's own thread and is for the support of that version only.

That being said, unless an issue has already been addressed in your thread before you are going to find a hard time getting support for issues since most of the people will have moved on to the newer versions. We are going to be unable to recreate errors you have because we are not running the same rom anymore.

Your choices become hoping someone is still running the older rom that has encountered your issue, hoping it's an issue already documented in the thread (which is why the old threads are kept) or moving to the newer version.

I can fully understand you wanting to stay with a version of the rom that works for you. If you have access to something like sprite backup I recommend you do a full rom backup, try the new rom to see if it corrects your issues and if not, then you can revert back to the rom you were on in a short amount of time.

I can also tell you this..I knew nothing about Voice command but I installed the program using the links provided in the R3 thread and have been playing around with it..other than having to move it from the "messages" button to "button 4" I did not encounter any issues. (I used the US version)...you might see if his links are for newer versions in the R3 thread for either.

Thank you SOOOO much

I want to say thank you for this release. I own an i-mate K-JAM and was very sceptical to replace WM5 but I really wanted WM6 and since there is no 'official' release I decided to go with this one... Man oh man! The device was never the same again. It is so much more stable than it ever was with the official WM5 rom from i-mate.

I also flashed 2 of my friends devices and they also agree. The device has definitely gotten a new lease on life. The only reason I will upgrade the hardware now will be to get HSDPA funtionality but software wise i rally dont need anything more than I got with this release.

Thank you very much again mfrazzz

How to setup MMS

Ok, I knew I wanted to add something to the 2nd post and couldn't remember what it was... How to setup MMS.

This rom uses the new Arcsoft 4.0 software which has SMS and MMS merged together. Overall I personally like this better in my using it, so I put it into this rom. To setup your MMS settings though is a little different / odd. Here's what you do:

Go to Messaging

Menu > New > MMS

Select whichever MMS template

Menu > Options > MMS Options

Now you are in the familiar MMS settings page. You can choose the Servers tab to setup your MMS server.

Hope that helps! Once you get MMS setup, I think you'll like the Arcsoft 4.0 interface where MMS and SMS are combined.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Go to Regional Settings and verify you are setup for the correct Region. Then click on the Time tab and in the drop down for the style, there are up and down arrows on the right side of the drop down box. Use the small up arrow a couple of times to get to the h:mm:ss tt setting and you will be good.
