Well... not just you. Maybe just the two of us. And I think mfrazzz is correct about the bad flash. This happened to me twice. The first time I reflashed and corrected it. Second time I just found the notification and deleted it. Doing so didn't seem to cause any issues I could detect. I think I used a program called "Check Notifications" to clear it up, or maybe it was the Task Manager that's installed with the ROM.

Same issue with PocketCM closing. But I figured it had to do with NOT having any contacts loaded yet. Once I sync'd to my Exchange server and populated the Outlook PIM database with contacts PocketCM loaded right up.

All said we probably just had crappy flashes as the root cause of these issues. As famewolf pointed out there don't seem to be others posting similar issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dleeming:
Thanks Famewolf & mfrazzz for the answers, I will give mortplayer a go.

famewolf: I have no problems with your input, i know that you work closely with mfrazzz to keep everyone happy with this ROM.

mfrazzz: Looking forward to the next ROM. BTW: Did you get my PM?

kind regards

question about upgrading a german t-mobile-wm5-MDA-Vario

As far as I read I should be right trying to do what I did. Executing the RUU without installing the "XDA Cingular WM6 Radio Fix2.cab" before. I did not do so, because of I have a SIM from german t-mobile inside. I got an error message I´d like to attach but don´t yet know if this is possible. Well, it´s about Error[264] : Connection. What might this be? My IPL is 3.08 SPL as well. ActiveSync of course is 4.5 All programs were closed, battery status was above 50%. Do I have to go into these things here:

???

I hoped I should be out of those there mentioned steps because of my high IPL-SPL

Any ideas?

Regards

Bonk
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Your post isn't clear to me, but my only comment is, don't try to take shortcuts. The post you quoted has been done and proven over and over again. Just because you have a high IPL/SPL doesn't mean you are CID unlocked. Until you are CID unlocked (or use the ShellTools method also quoted in that post) you will be fighting a losing battle in trying to upgrade.

Removing (or renaming) these files from the WeatherPanel\Themes\Default folder should suffice:

- BRADHITC.TTF

- Pixel.ttf

This worked for me.

BTW, if you like WeatherPanel, take a look at the WeatherPanel forum.

Phone hangs when connecting to WiFi using WPA2 with AES and RADIUS authentication with certificates. Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Please clarify the following:

Does it hang when connecting to an open network?

Does it hang everytime or on a random basis?

Did this just start or did it happen right after flashing the rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Yom:
Sorry for the lack of info...

I have only tried to connect to a WPA2 AES RADIUS PEAP network, so I don't know if an open network would cause the same hangs.

It seems to hang probably 8 out of 10 times

I haven't used my Wizard for at least a year, so I could not tell you if the hangs were happening with WM5.

Is there any other information I can provide? I am also using Faria's 02.69.11 radio, if that helps.

I half-assed everything but it's running great

So i started off reading 'everything' then imediately forgetting most of it. so here were my steps.

1. read lots

edit: 1.2 forgot most of what i read.

2. download activesync 4.5 and some other stuff

edit: like installing activesync 4.5, i was still using 4.2.

3. started on vippies how to, determined i had a g4 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298613 )

4. jumped to step 4.5 of vippies guide, downloaded the tool by mun_rus ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293480 )

edit: 4.2 followed mun_rus directions for installing both cabs and rebooting.

5. unpacked the new XDA mobile 6r3 full into the directory with "Shelltool_bugfixed" and ran mun_rus's updater.

6. completed with multiple popups; 'cannot execute errors'

edit: rebooted again, played with it for 20 minutes or so.

7. ran the packaged "XM6r3" (from this thread) no errors.

edit: meaning i ran the romupdateutility after reading the 'readme'.

8. found a great cab file with USA cingular connections by shogunmark in this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299023&page=3&highlight=cingular+connection )

9. installed the cingular connections by shogunmark

... 10. dance for joy at a working phone!

thank you all for your help. thank you espicially to mfrazzz for putting together such an elegant piece of firmware/software; and to all that helped test it for him.

must say, it's been my first flash of a phone, and was rather painless. thanks again to all.

Hi,

mfraaz, why are you not coming with touchFlo version. Your roms are awesome but i want touch.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MrCyberdude:
Thx Again MrFrazzz.

The keyword for me is Stability and battery life.

So i keep drifting away from upgrading from NBD8.1 which i have found to be quite good,

to 8.3 which may not be so good from what the latest threads are saying.

I like what appears to be your attention to detail just like Faria with explainations of what and why.

Speaking of Faria, has he finished moving yet? as i'm dying for him to bring out a new rom as its been a while.

Again Thx MrFrazzz

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
As long as you follow mfrazzz's instructions to flash a provider rom first (to eliminate any possible extended rom corruption) you should get great battery life from this rom. While beta testing I always flashed the tmobile 2.26 rom followed by the 2.69.11 radio rom and then the current r3beta. I use mortplayer to play music ALOT especially while playing in texas hold 'em poker tournaments....so I might have music going for 6 hours and have used 10% of battery life. I've been very happy with it. *note* I do have the extended battery as opposed to regular one on my phone.

..some other tricks are to use the tsync silent.lnk to run a time sync at bootup of phone instead of using the settings, phone, timezone, Automate change time zone and clock which while nice causes activesync to run alot more and polls the server fairly often to see if the time has changed...all this polling uses alot more battery then the one time at bootup.

I've not found a rom with more overall stability then the one's mfrazzz produces..under wm5 it became a common occurence for me to soft reset the phone every couple of hours for one issue or another..usually complaining that windows mobile was reminding me way to much of windows millenium on the PC..days go by before I have to soft reset and even then it's usually because an app I've installed says it requires it to finish the install...not because of system issues.

I'm not who you posted to but hopefully my post will help some anyway. ;)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sacwoo:
I downloaded XM6r3 Full Version, verified by file XM6r3.zip.

Everything runs great, i just notice that some of the listed items in the full version weren't in my rom. It may have been a bad flash so I will redownload and reflash later to retest. The first thing that got my attention was the keyboard was plain white instead of mun's keyboard. I also could find PocketCM 0.9, TodayAgenda Beta 1.0, 1-Calc Lite, PeekPocket 1.2 and a few others. anyone else have this problem? could it have been mislabled? I wasn't sure if these are installed via a config file after the setup is completed because I don't remember one running.

I will reflash and report back, just wanted to see if anyone else ran into this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
It certainly sounds like you got the lite install instead of the full. All the things you mentioned missing are not included in the lite but are in the full. Did you download from mfrazzz or the other posters rapidshare links? I would recommend the original mfrazzz links.

You should not have to run anything after the flash..they should just be present.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] peu:
Glad we finished the beta, what are the meeting days for flashers anonymous? :D

To all, don't forget to flash a providers ROM, such as Tmobile 2.26, before flashing this one. This way you avoid any potential problem, it only takes 10 minutes more and you are safe, building on a strong foundation.

Attached are some images of my customizations, I used Kaiser today plugin with 4 tabs (made a custom CAB with color icons) and my skin for the touch dialer. Attached the cab to this post and the skin is in my signature.

Thanks Mike!!

I Also installed the FULL verion of MrFrazzz download and i to have the basic white keyboard.

I have done about 2 soft resets and also a hard reset, still have the default keyboard. No biggie for me thou..

I Love the Battlestar Cylon Boot screen, if only the eye scanned. lol

I really need the New Network Wizard that has been in NDB's 8.1 Rom as in Australia it is a Real pain not having GPRS setup, i have had enough of setting it up manually.

On that note there is no icon to represent the "NoData" program.

I also cannot see the MobileJustice under the Start --> Programs --> Accessories.... or elsewhere..... Where is it??

Also there are no smart dial options either......?

Actually what is going on here??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] seitoho:
Yeppp... Got the same problem. Downloaded the "original" file, verified that is was the full and not lite version, flaseh and don't get the apps that is extra in the full version. Have searched for them with no luck...

Re-flashed with no luck either.

Has there been a mixup of files somewhere?

Does it work for some?

That is what I am thinking, an accidental mix up or something of the lite and full versions.

First time some repllog? error came up, second time it finished but instead of the nice black splash screen I got a white flashlight effect, and it didn't go anywhere after that. third time I got another repllog error (so damn annoying) and 4th time, IT WORKED! inbetween those mess ups I was reflashing the original Cingular ROM... so it took a while!

I read the changelog and I'm excited about the changes. Updated to some, some new additions, and some programs replaced completely with programs mfrazzz liked better. I can't wait till tonight when I get home and have a chance to flash this new baby.

thanks so much mfrazzz for your hard work and educated opinions. :D

Has anyone managed to get their PPC sync with Ubuntu?

It depends on all what you want to accomplish. I run only Suse linux (well I have the ability to run XP in a virtual machine (http://www.virtualbox.org - it's free) which is where I do my rom cooking etc...hence the "XM6R3 Defiled" in my signature..I've defiled mfrazzz's work of art with my changes. ;)

Using wm5storage you can use the phone storage card as a jumpdrive under linux and copy to/from it.

Internet sharing under bluetooth can be made to work and bluetooth file sharing can be done in kde.

There are programs to let you sync your contacts to thunderbird such as "finchsync" (as usual google is your friend)...other programs such as "synce" which will supposedly sync with windows mobile now.

I sync my email with the free push email provided by live.mail2web.com

I synce my calendar with google calendar using "oggsync" which has a freeware version (only does one calendar but thats all I need..the pay version will sync multiple calendars)

I backup my PIM information to storage card using PIM BACKUP. I also use "sprite backup 6" (got free license for helping beta test it) for full rom backups and can copy these self executing restore files to linux for storage.

Hope those offer you something to think on. Oh I guess I should mention that my one and only internet connection is via tethering to the phone via bluetooth internet sharing under Suse..Tmobile Edge. I use a cacheing proxy called polipo which helps alot.

If you don't mind the hack, you always have the option of running xp in virtualbox...activesync and all the usual apps will work and you can pass usb devices into the VM so your phone will be recognized and can be used just like normal. (with the exception of I don't recommend you try to FLASH a rom using this method)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] PURESKILLZZZ:
I see you already had 1 answer but you can also have a dual boot using ubuntu . Three ways to do this are as follows.

1) which will require you making a partion using linux (ubuntu)

http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Install_Ubuntu

2) Running ubuntu in a windows partiton. So you dont have to repartition.

http://wubi-installer.org/

3.) is to use a live cd which you can run linux without changing anything in your machine .

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD.

Now all these ways are good but you are only touching the base of linux. Its a good start but then when you get into the actual kernel and away from the gui you will see the power your machine really holds. The best hackers run under linux. But you didnt hear that from me.

A note .. I am going to try and install activesync on a linux system under wine . Haven't played with that much . And still havent flashed the ppc yet either for those waiting . Didn't aquire a battery yet.

Wrong Keyboard Mapping & Icon Sizes

Firstly 1000 thank yous for providing this. I love it! The new VoIP integrated dialing was an unexpected surprise and will make my life so much easier when travelling :)

Just a few small queries:

1) The icon size seems to be slightly off, maybe by 1 pixels, because normally nice smooth icons, show their edges a bit blocky, as if they've been resized from e.g. 32x32 to 31x31. Any ideas?

2) The Wizard keyboard mapping is wrong. I have an UK O2 Xda Mini S and have configured Regional Settings to United Kingdom, but still the special symbols like ! @ " etc. come up with different characters on-sceren when pressed.

I hope someone is able to help with these things? :)

XDA Mobile 6 Release 3 - for 8125 is the best!!!!

Hi all,

Well I have been through about every ROM on this site for my 8125. I used NBD 8.3 since its' been out and it has been very stable. No WIFI or BT issues. The one thing I think that finally made me go back to one of my previous roms was the speed. Clicking on the camera took what seemed forever to load.

So today I loaded XDA Mobile 6 Release 3 and what a breath of fresh air!!

So in my opinion I would flash with XDA, load SPB Mobile and "Bobs your uncle".

I do not mean to dis any roms that I used, they all were very good in their own way, but for me where I want speed and simplicity...XDA wins.. Plus the touchflo is murder on the screen... By the end of the day my screen was shmengied big time.

Redial question?

Hello. I want to start by saying thatnks to not only mfrazzz but to all who have contributed to this project and the xda forums in general. I have learned much from you all.

Now for my question:

With the original Cingular 8125 ROM when in the phone application and pressing Talk, either via the screen or the hardware button, the phone would redial the last incoming/outgoing call. This is not the case now. Is this functionality still available? Don't know if this is a WM6 issue in general or specific to this ROM.

TIA,

Mark
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
This works for me exactly as you described.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mawhite:
Thanks for the response

I guess maybe something went awry with the flash possible. I have minimal apps installed as follows:

Battery Status

SBSH PocketWeather

Two Peaks PocketVehicle Manager

Flexwallet

SPB Backup

TOMTOM Navigator

iMov Messenger

All are working well. Maybe I should reflash?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Before you do that..try uninstalling your apps 1 at a time....if it doesn't fix the problem then reinstall...if you can't identify it that way..then reflash and test it before you install ANY apps...if it works then check after each install and see if you can identify what breaks it. Also my first suspect might be batterystatus..try setting it back to normal clock speed..reboot and see if the problem goes away...overclocking can cause all sorts of weird quirks on some phones. If you identify this as the problem you can go into the batterystatus exclusions list and tell it PHONE should stay at 195 mhz same as CAMERA

Why does the bluetooth headset call button bring up the phone app instead of starting whatever installed voice dial app (MS VoiceCommand or Cyberon) specified in the OEM reg key?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Try going into the "buttons" app and assigning button 4 to voice command...I believe the bluetooth headset sends button 4 by default...if not..find out which button is assigned to "phone" and change them till the headset does what you want. If none of this helps, do a search on voice command..since it's not included in the rom by default it's not really a rom issue.

Your post doesnt mention if it is unlocked and I ask you if this is the case because sometimes CID locked devices cause errors when updating your rom using the RUU method.

yes its cid locked but the roms im trying are all custom and they dont play around with the ipl/spl, so im safe. i have a factory shipped tmo as well and the version im using and can flash is wizard love.... i tried faria's "the real thing " couple of months earlier which was my first test drive on wm6 but now i cant even flash it coz it stux on 99% and results in error.

now wot do u suggest???

302 is an update error, ive been on faria's "the real thing" thread and there are couple of others members who are having the same problem but no rpliez to them as yet.

and as far as i remember from the error msg screen it's something like the ruu is unable to communicate with the device at the end of the flash process i.e. at 99%.

Can you give me examples? I didn't do anything (that I'm aware of) to resize icons. Just standard ones that were with the rom (or are you talking apps you install also?)

The mapping is correct (for US keyboards ;)). You'll need to search for how to change the keyboard settings for various countries. I haven't kept track of those threads (but send me a link when you find it and I'll update the 2nd post with that info as I know others ask for similar).
