Hmmm... thanks for the heads up. I've dropped back to the mirrors I know to be 100% reliable now that the initial excitement has waned. Sorry you got ahold of a bad one. :(

Screen lags when switching to landscape

vp3G,

I was curious if you had any insight into why the phone lags when I pull the keyboard out and the phone switches into landscape mode. I have less today plug-ins, less actual programs installed, and WAY more overall memory due to switching to your rom from WM5.

For some reason, the lag is greater in WM6 then when I had WM5...any registry edits or anything you think might help? (I also use Memaid Ram recovery regularly..)

It is pretty slow, it causes me to not use the keyboard because of it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gabrielstan:
I did try the clean 3G icon and it works fine the only problem is than once installed it disabes the WM6 StartUp Sound.

I love the new ROM and it is perfect for AT&T / Cingular 8125, it looks like the Official ROM.

It is faster than 2.0 , boot and everything else.

My only recomandation is that the 3G Icon Fix to be included into the next rom if need it.

PS: try the HTC Touch Home Plugin it will change the way you use the phone.

I have used cab's before, but I have never had this happen. When I extract the file and put it on my phone it opens in internet explorer instead of installing. I would guess it it using the wrong program to run but I dont know how to change that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Nioc:
One thing I just noticed is that I tried to dl a ringtone from myxertones and it would not let me download. The message says that it is protected media and my phone does not support it. Is there any fix for this as it worked before.

edit: this was an IE error. Opera would not work either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Given that behavior, my guess would be that you're extracting the cabs and trying to run the setup.xml, which is one step too far. Need to be running the .cab itself...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] james4840:
This is what I did. I extracted the files which then gave me a folder full of more files to extract. I chose one and it extracted to a folder. I took the folder and put on my phone. I used file explorer to find the folder and clicked open the folder. It had a list of things in the folder the first one being the setup. When I touch this it opens internet explorer. In the past this always installed the program. Any help you can be would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks James
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] james4840:
I got it. I did not realize that I should put the rar file in. Thanks I appreciate the help

any one have a suggestion on how to clear the protected media problems? I really like this rom and do not want to switch.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:

noob question

So...as an os x guy I'm working around the platform situation. I have the nbh file on my microSD, and am at the bootloader screen. Every time I load it it says, "loading..." then it posts a red numeric code above it "00068002", then drops me back to the tri-color screen :confused: . Any advice? Oh yeah, I don't no jack about technical terms (yes, I studied the wiki religiously, I just don't speak dos-latin) so keep it in english (or spanish). Thanks a million...

<<<fixed my problem by running SSPL-HERM for a third try>>>
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Timtown:
What type of "protected media problems" are you encountering?

I apologize in advance but, I don't have time to read all 961 posts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] peace942:
It works!!! Hells yeah take that AT&T :)

I must say thanks to all envolved in this update. I just purchased a 4GB MicroSDHC and it wouldn't work. To my relief if I update to the WM6 it would. But wait AT&T hasn't released it yet. For all of you with questions about the function of the update. I must say when they say official...well I could not be more impressed. Thanks GUYS!!!:) :D :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hoyter:
No problem. I absolutely love this rom. It is very clean and fast for me to build all my apps on. I eagerly watch your threads for any updates or new versions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Nioc:
I was not asking you to read 961 posts, I was asking about my previous post that was on the same page.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Dunno, but I'm betting it's cheaper... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Post #3 will probably remain reserved, but there just might be something new under consideration. :)

Seems there's a lot of new stuff lying about once again... one's gotta be able to gather and make something from it, no? ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kaos:
Any chance of a new vp3G rom based on the new TM base rom?

Now that there is a new base rom, any chance you will update your vp3g with it?

I have tested all the available WM6 ROM's out and your is by far the most stable and fastest for me, so if you make an update I would love it.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gabrielstan:
I was referring to the sound that WM6 makes right after boot / startup.

This is the only noticeable problem however it could be the version of clean 3G package I am using, that is why I have suggested that may be included into future builds. Also the ROM was applied to 3 different units and they all behave the same, this is why I was able to find out which cab has the problem or at least I think I did.

Do not get me wrong, besides this little issue I have mentioned, the ROM is flawless, big BUMP!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
You mean the AT&T/3G animation? No offense taken, just trying to figure out if/how it can be related to installing the clean3G/battery cab... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] darkuncle:
excellent ROM

just wanted to say big thanks to you for the ROM, and to Mr Vanx for the excellent step-by-step on upgrading. This is the first ROM I've flashed (well, unless you count shadowmite's DUN unlock for Treo650), and the first non-PalmOS device I've used in about 7 years. WM5 (AT&T OEM version) had many annoyances; the vp3G WM6 ROM fixed them /all/. :)

keep on cookin'!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Harold Brown:
I love WM6 especially without the extra "crap". Thanks for your dedication to this. Not having any problems so far (36 hours). The day to day essentials are working just fine. Bluetooth works better than with WM5 (Jabra BT8010).

WMDC Problems

I've been happily running this ROM for a few weeks now, syncing with my Vista machine via USB. But every time I installed SplashID, I would be presented with two problems:

1) When plugged in, my 8525 would frequently pop up a TCP/IP "Error on Connect" (but it would still connect 80% of the time - when it didn't I'd restart WMDC), and

2) SplashID would not sync, no matter what I tried.

I removed and reinstalled SplashID a few times, completely deleting the database and registry keys, to no avail. As a last resort, I downgraded my WMDC from the latest and greatest to 6.0 (found on Crapidshare here).

Fixed all my problems! Hope this helps someone else.

Could someone answer this for me? I get 3G signal in my area, but I notice when browsing the internet, the 3G icon switches to an H (but there is no drop in signal).. What does this mean, and am I getting the fastest data connection with this happening? Im so confused :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ddevling:
Answered many times before

This is showing the 3G network downloading or data transfer with your phone. Switches to this H when there is actually data being transfered

Haha, no joke man. I'm just on vacation, and I wanted to make sure its working correctly.. I didnt have time to scour these forums.

Thanks for the quick response guys, even if it was the dumbest question :p

Loaded Cyberon voice commander this evening (used cab file from earlier post). It is working pretty good. Some issues but once I added some voice tags to the contacts through setup the issues were resolved. Working perfect with my Jabra BT8010. Better than my AT&T official WM5 voice dialer. I have to say that with this rom and the voice commander it is almost like I have a new phone!!

Engineering Mode in WM6

I've searched these forums, Google and others and can't seem to find the answer anywhere (at least not an answer that works for me).

I can no longer get into Engineering Mode (Test Mode, Field Test Mode...whatever you want to call it) by typing in *#*#364#*#*. I even tried adding in the registry keys to see if it was as simple as that. FieldTest.exe no longer exists in the Windows Directory, either.

Does anyone know how to access this diagnostic screen in WM6? It's the screen that shows your signal strength on the 3G network among other things.

Thanks in advance for your help!

FYI: I already know about the Wiki info on this subject, but it seems like it is out of date and I'd rather not try it unless it really works. All the forum references are 2006 and the ROMs were version 2.*. I found a very nice reference guide with codes for every make and model out there, including mine, and it was just revised on 7/30/2007 but it must be referring to WM5. Too bad.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
This issue is raised from time to time then disappears again without any apparent resolution. I've never had true CID on my phone... only matches to contacts. Perhaps that's what you're expecting?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Not sure about the key sequence... never tried it myself. My understanding is that reg key must be added before it will work:

[HKLM]\Software\HTC\EngineerMode

BuildInEngineeringModeApp=dword:1

SR if phone app has been started prior to adding the key.

I took FieldTest.exe out of the ROM as it's available elsewhere on the forum.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Pretty sure you need the full SmartDialer functionality in order for it to work. Since this ROM is based on the official AT&T ROM the stock dialer and SD is heavily wired into PTT and therefore you've got to install PTT_Enable from post #2 to enable full SD support which will in turn enable the d-pad shortcuts for speed dial and call history. This of couse would mean giving up the ability to reassign the PTT button. :(

Only other option is to install an alternate dialer. I'm partial to Schap's 2G Dialer, myself.

Ok, so how do I install the splash screens? I open up the rar in the addons pack, do I just replace the RUU_signed in the rom I d/led with the white splash (or black)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Yeah, that'll work. Use the the same RUUWrapper to flash it to your device. Takes about 30 sec. :)

Seriously, though... my sig says "Construction Zone" for a reason... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Hmmm... OK. Maybe that's what people have meant in the past, too. CID means something completely different to me on a "technical" level.

Dunno why it would quit, although Windows Live has been known to mess with/disappear people's contacts at random. Maybe something like that going on...?

Today I went to hotmail website to see why my email client on my computer was not able to get email from hotmail and was greeted with a "You been upgraded to Windows Live blah blah free blah blah 2 gigs blah blah blah" and my hotmail skin changed from old version to new version.

Well when that happened my Windows Live mobile can no longer sync with the Windows Live hotmail and get my hotmail emails and my email client was already unable to get my hotmail emails so I look around on hotmail site and saw I was able to go back to old version of hotmail which I choosed to do so and of course I was prompted with a series of question asking me what reason I wanted to go back to old hotmail etc and it retored my hotmail back to the older version.

Now my email client on my computer are able to once again get the hotmails but my Windows Live Mobile are still unable to sync .. I already SR'd a couple of time with no changes or improvement.

Anyone here experience the same issue and was able to restore hotmail to work with Windows Live Moblie sync again on their hermes?

(I know it's not vp3G related but it what I am using on my phone and it a great ROM)

Thank you

Why I should try to help is beyond me...

...with an A**hole statement like that I don't know why I should invest my time but, none-the-less, here's something you can try.

Occassionally the MSMETADATA and/or the WMDRM files become corrupted and, when that happens, it can prevent the transfer of protected media and/or applications may be unable to see your device and/or storage card. Deleting these files and re-syncing your library may solve your situation.

Next time, when you want someone to offer assistance provide more information and a little less smarta**.

Peace.

VP3g if you use the HTC home screen, can you please use the the 6 tabsetting one and also incude the plugin customizer. i have been tempted in the past to make my own roms but every one i try fails to live up to your work. also, this is something you are not gonna do, but i will ask any, can you make a build for aduio manager only, i never use it and its wasted space. the board will flame me for this but i thought i would try.

I've had it running for a week now with no issues beyond the keyboard text issue when in-call. Seems battery life is a bit better but I still think te battery meter is squirrely even after switching back to the original cab. I don't see any difference with reception or signal strength either.

My phone froze up tonight with Start not working. Tapping vibrate Icon didn't work. I think it had to do with Bluetooth on and phone set to vibrate. It was working fine until I went to the restaurant and put it into vibrate. I had the problem when I tried to get it out of vibrate. Once I turned bluetooth off via comm manager it freed up and then I started to get notify messages for incoming emails that were backed up. I am running Voice Commander as well. Not sure if it was a combo of things. I will watch for a pattern if it happens again. Battery life doesn't appear to be any better on my phone. Won't last the day if I use it much.

Keyboard backlight

I know the keyboard backlight issue has been posted a time or two, but I haven't found a fix that works for me yet.

Since flashing to this ROM, I've had no kb backlight. Have tried with auto sensor on. Have tried with auto sensor off. Still no backlight. Will put up with that if I have to 'cause I love this build, but would love to have the light back if I could.

Any thoughts?
