Screenshots

My shots don't really show all that much but give you a general layout of how todayagenda looks..pbar....weatherpanel...the wizard retouched dialer with a custom skin...hope it's of use to someone....

The today screen shows from top to bottom Pbar (Task Manager), WeatherPanel using the Chameleon skin,

Batterystatus,

Windows Live Search,

Octrotalk,

TodayAgenda

The tray is part of Batterystatus. The dialer is the wizard retouched dialer with a custom skin called "Black Raindrops". The music player is Mortplayer using the Qvista skin.

The link to dialer skins is in mfrazzz's first posts.

If you back them up using Pim Backup 2.5 (available on pocketpcfreeware.com or freewareppc.com) first you will be able to restore them under XM6R3 using the same utility.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] boscorelly:
Okay thanks. I've backuped with Sprite Backup but, i you say to use Pim Backup 2.5, i'll use that.

Regards.

Edit : will my SPV M3000 work if i don't upgrade the radio ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Pim Backup ONLY backup's your contacts, sms, emails...etc..and can be restored even when moving from wm5 to wm6...Sprite backup does a whole backup but you cannot take a wm5 backup and "restore" it on top of wm6.

Follow?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] boscorelly:
Okay thanks, it wasn't that i've understand on the sprite Backup's site.

Two, possibly three issues I've found.

1) I have sent multiple text msgs to my wife today, she says she hasn't recevied anything. I sent one to myself and it did show up though, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

2) I haven't had any problems with screen alignment in quite some time but since flashing XDA6R3 I have had to realign the screen several times and I don't know why.

3) Duplicate contacts. I used PIMBackup to backup my contacts and messages then restore it on the new ROM after flashing. Once I got my exchange server set up later I ended up with duplicates of all of them. Any bets that if I take it home and sync it with my home PC that I have triplicates of all my contacts? How do I keep this from happening beyond only syncing with one place and not using PIMBackup?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Pyros:
:cool:

Mine does NOT look like that! I mean the program is the same but my icons didnt look like that at all... they were all black and white with such poor graphics I couldnt even make out what some of them were. Hmmmmmm.... Im gonna try putting it back now and finding out whats going on. If it had looked like that I would have kept it for sure.... Thanks for the pic!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Pyros:
Ok Now it looks just like the pic you have....SWEET! lol Thanks alot for making me take a second look.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
You can try syncing all your locations FIRST then restore from Pim backup..you can also do partial restores from Pim Backup and exclude the contacts since they are gonna come from the exchange server.

Hi,

it's me :p

i have another question : will my spv m3000 work even if i don't use le latest radio ?

regards.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
I had to go look up if a spv m3000 is a htc wizard..at first glance it appears to be. (Please make sure your phone is the equivalent of a HTC Wizard, Qtek 9100, Cingular 8125, Tmobile MDA (Vario) etc before using this rom as that is the model it is intended for).

Assuming it is in fact an htc wizard you can use any radio rom you want...many folks use the old 2.19 radio rom with it. In the first post mfrazzz posts links to some radio only flashes you can do to just upgrade that so you can always upgrade later if you decide to.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] hotmail:
Funny you mention the screen alignment. I've had a similar issue on my device since flashing to r3. I just figured my phone's screen was acting up since I've used it ALOT over the last year. I'm not over-clocked and I don't have anything installed (yet) other than what came with the ROM. Anyone else seeing this too?

One other question. Before flashing to this ROM I flashed back to the Cingular ROM, then the "Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2". Now when I soft reset I still see the Wizard Love splash screen before I see the mfrazzz WM6 splash. I don't recall having that with the r2 ROM. Is this normal or is a reflash in order?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Pyros:
Honestly the only thing from Wisbar I would like to have is the cascading start menu. PBar seems to do everything else just fine.

Also another problem Ive noticed is that CallFirewall seems to have more issues than on the other ROM's I've used. (lets calls thru not in my contacts when 'contacts only' is selected much more often than before, closes out after a few hours)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] boscorelly:
Hi,

first, thank to all, i've successfully update my spv m3000.

now, i wanna know if it's possible to have it in french or if no, if it's possible to make the translation.

XM6R3 should replace all 3 start screens...a cylon...a tachometer and finally the mfrazzz windows screen just like with R2a.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] hotmail:
Sounds like a problem with my flash then. Arrrggh... I'll try it again tonight. Thanks Famewolf.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jonflow:
I've read that dirt can get built up BADLY under the edges of the case, and if you slide a business card or something else under there (something that won't scratch the screen you see) then it will help out a lot.

Wondering why you flashed the Cingular rom, THEN the wizard love rom, THEN xm6r3? Also, the second? post on this thread has the splash screens attached with directions, maybe that will help you out! I sure don't think you should have to do a total reflash though...

Good luck...cause I sure love this ROM :)

Edit: I just realized that my splash screens didn't update either... so I verified to myself that the splash screen attachment works! ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
If you have a g4 wizard from what I understand it's common for splash screens not to update and not necessarily a sign of a bad flash..if you have a g3 wizard and the screens didn't get updated I'd be concerned about it.

I don't have the screen alignment issues but I cleaned my screen really well when I first got it and put a protector on it...a jeweler's cloth (the little felt squares) will really clean the screen well and they don't cost much.

Thank you for a clear answer

Thank you very much, Famewolf, for your fast and exceptionally clear answer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lkmda:
Yes, I had the same experience with version 1

Yes, I observed exactly the same problem with Version 1 of this ROM. It might (or might not) go away if you stop using Bat Stat.

BTW, an alternative to "clear storage" might be to re-format the SD card but it either works or it doesn't.:confused:

i can't find the calculator?

I NEED IT!

a cab?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Are you running the Lite version? Never thought about this but since I removed the default calculator and replaced it with 1-Calc, the Lite version wouldn't have a calculator in it (oops).

Here's the cab for 1-Calc. If you really want the original Calculator I can see about making a cab for that.

VC1.6 BT Activation is working now

OK, I've done a lot more reading etc. and checking registry entries and it seems to work now :)

Unfortunately I'm not quite sure what it was that finally enabled it, but I'll try to narrow it down next time I hard reset.

24hr time slightly obscured by Pbar

This item is so minor I wasn't going to mention it, but, someone may have a fix:-

I prefer 24hr time format and seem to be getting used to having Pbar, however, Pbar slightly obscures the edge of the time (see screenshot below).

If there's anyway to correct it I'd appreciate it, but it really isn't enough of an issue for me to be overly concerned with and I'll carry on using Pbar.

PS. thanks to Mfrazzz for introducing me to more useful apps/utilities with each ROM release, from Crossbow Reloaded, XM6r2a and now this one.

mfrazz.....you are a legend!

this is so far the best and most 'stable' rom by far! (by 'stable' i mean, so far i havent encountered a single problem with it, although i dont use a lot of the functions! just call, sms and the application/ebook functionalities!)

once again, thank you very much. just one small question though, will you be releasing a XM6 version of the newer build that seems to be floating around? (im referring to the same build used in NBD v9.0) im curious as to whats better about the new build too!

thank you!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I'm watching some of the newer rom builds. I need a break for a couple of weeks, but will be looking at the newer roms. But personally I've stuck with 318 (the"official" rom) as it is what makes XM6 so stable. The one Its Right has ported sounds interesting as it sounds like he's fixed some little bugs that has been in all wm6 roms.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xfooser:
SD problem fixed. Great ROM!

I am not a big poster but I thought I owed to the supporters of this ROM to comment...

I fixed my disappearing SD memory problem. I trial downloaded a small utility called "Storage Tools" and formatted the SD in the MDA directly. It is a great utility and works perfectly. I decided to go with the standard format (FAT16/32K) and my MDA recognized it immediately. And now I can pop the SD card in and out and the system recognizes it any time it is in. It is also noticeably faster. I remember some old OS and IDE drives that worked much more efficiently if the drive was formatted with its own controller/driver. Perhaps, it is a similar case here. The utility also has verify and defrag but I did not use those features. If you are having trouble with your SD card, you may want to try this. My MDA behaves like it has a new life (fast and stable).

Here is what I noticed about this r3 (full version):

1. icon on top bar indicating Edge data connection changed way it works. The antenna icon doesn't change when on Edge network. It remains the same. The "E" icon changes to "E with 2 small arrows" indicating connection. I like this change.... keeps it cleaner.

2. BT printing selection from email / menu is gone. I like that change also because I never used it and it took another key stroke to get to send/receive which I used all the time.

3. If you change Comm Manager button order in Advenced config utility, you can blank out the Comm Manager. Be careful. I ended up with one button and the rest disappeared. I had to reload the Comm Manager cab to get it back. Some features of the utility made the system to become unstable. I guess that's why it's Beta.

4. The same issue with phone ring (changing the ring tone forces the default when you save it) still exists. You have to play games with it to get the right ring tone you want.

5. Turning on Wifi in Comm manager only works if you press it 2 times. It turns on and immediately off on the first press. Only the second press appears to work. This happens only the very first time it is used.

6. pBar appears to hang from time to time. If I unload it and reload, it works again. This only happens if I open many apps and swith between them quickly.

7. The "phone" and "program folder" appears to stick in the task list. What I mean is that if I use MDA for several hours (or days) without rebooting, I end up with several "Phones" and "Program" showing up in the tasks list. If I close one of them, the system will freeze. I have seen this problem in previous releases. I assume this is a core WM issue.

8. Memory leak in older releases are gone. R3 memory starts at 28M, and stays between 24M and 26M over couple of days. I just reboot the MDA to see that mfrazzz's pretty splash screen :)

Overall, this release doesn't appear to be much faster than r2. But, once I fixed the SD problem (see above), it is rock stable right up to 299MHz. I normally run this ROM at 195MHz (longer battery life???).

Congrats on another great ROM, Mfrazzz. Thanks.

Formatting MiniSd

Couldn't you just use wm5torage to make the storage card available to windows or linux and format the card from there?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jonflow:
I never would have thought of WM5torage, I didn't even know what it did, I had to read up on it myself. I still don't think I understand what it does, but it looks interesting! Wondering why you didn't suggest this a couple days ago when he asked for solutions... I hope you're not as forgetful as me, that would be scary.

I just downloaded this Storage Tools program, it says you have to pay for it but it didn't stop me from installing it and using it. It has a Storage card error repair feature, I guess kind of like Scandisk. It also lets you defrag and format the Mini SD card directly from the device, no USB/Windows required. Too bad it isn't freeware, or else I would even suggest it being implemented into the ROM. I'm going to keep it as backup though!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
I did not suggest wm5torage previously because he stated his phone was not recognizing the minisd card. If that is the case then wm5torage is not gonna help however if he was able to format the card using a format program ON the phone then the phone could SEE the card..it was just refusing to accept the filesystem on it.

wm5storage makes your phone a jumpdrive...or a mini sd card reader if you prefer that analogy...the media is available to the pc and can be manipulated however you want..for instance I'm in the process of backing my whole storage card up and then I'm going to format it to FAT16 512 Bytes....windows WILL NOT allow you to do this..they only allow Fat32 512 bytes on anything over 512mb..but linux WILL allow this so I want to see what will happen. An article I read also said only having one FAT table instead of the default 2 speeds up access so I'm gonna try that as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jonflow:
Yeah I thought that was funny too... I didn't know HOW he was going to get out of that one.

Oh, ok, that's very interesting then, I'm going to have to read up some more on WM5torage. Faster read access would be interesting to test out. I just tried to activate it and plug the USB cable into the phone, and I guess I need to look it up some more because it didn't find my phone, much less the card. I'm having fun learning things :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
You really should not need to do more than 1) Unplug from activesync if already plugged in. 2) Activate Wm5torage (optional..put the Read/Write box's to #1 so the led's flash as it read/writes) 3) replugin and wait for popup box showing new drive.

Backed up my minisd..had to use fat32 512 byte since it was trying to use 32k clusters against my will on fat16... only one fat table so should speed up access plus the article from Mennesys (I know I'm butchering his nick but no time to look it up right now) says you can gain around a 12% increase from the backup/restore due to resolving any fragmentation.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jonflow:
I did that, it said it found a new "USB Mass Storage Device" but when I let let Windows Update search for a driver for it, it comes up with a "Bluetooth Devices" driver and then it doesn't work.

Ok while I was typing this I decided to uninstall the Bluetooth driver than it installed, and tell the installation process to not look automatically, I would tell it where. I specified a USB Mass Storage device driver (the default Windows one) and low-and-behold it works!! Thanks famewolf, I'm going to back up my stuff now and see if I can't use my knoppix disk to get FAT16/512b like its supposed to be.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xfooser:
SD memory

Yes, I tried that first. Unfortunately, since the OS did not see the SD card, none of its apps did either. Interesting thing about this "Storage Tools" utility is that it recognized the SD card even though the WM6 didn't. It also took over the SD card from OS and did whatever it wanted to do. I assume what I downloaded was trialware but I really appreciate when a software company don't play games with their trial software. I would say their trial marketing was successful because I tried it's full function, it saved me time and money, so I will buy it... simple... It's not for everyone. Too bad there is no lite, free version. It is very useful.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
I was unable to get the fat16 to allow 512 byte clusters on a 2 gig...it was saying it worked but allocating 32k clusters (you can tell by looking at the size of some empty dir's copied to the minisd....on 512 byte fat 32 they take up 4k ...they were taking up 32k...

The command line that did work is this:

mkdosfs -f 1 -F 32 -S 512 -v /dev/sdc1

which says only 1 fat table.. fat32... sector size of 512 bytes and be verbose..

I don't know what it is, but I have had a memory leak from hell since going to R3. :( I just rebooted my phone yesterday and I'm down to about 2 MB of memory free. Only software I've installed are apps I've had previously and never had this problem before.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Can you list what apps you installed? Have you used oxious "hibernate" to free memory without closing apps and oxios "closeapps" to close even the ones "hiding"? Pocketcm will use up memory being hidden as will some other apps like imov messenger..they don't show in the list but will show in task manager.

Lastly, run task manager and sort by memory used and see if you recognize any of the apps as non system apps. I can say I've been tethered to the phone for over 24 hours and ran the phone 3 to 4 days without rebooting and still had 20+ meg free.

Ok..i'm still tethered to the phone...which uses some memory...got between 18-20 meg of memory...here's a list of MY processes. (special note..I CLOSED activesync before this and that freed up about 2 meg of memory)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Avatar28:
Yep. That's the weird thing, though, I can't find what would be causing it. I have literally almost watched the amount of free memory decrease while not doing anything. The apps I've installed are the pocketCM keyboard and contact manager (latest versions of both), FreeStyl, Flash Lite (for FreeStyl), Slide2Unlock (1.19 I believe and has not caused problems previously), and BatteryStatus (which has never caused me any issues in the past). There are also a couple of games, but they were installed after I noticed this problem and don't run all the time anyways. By closing out pBar, the FUIServer for FreeStyl, and Slide2Unlock and then running both the Oxios apps I was able to get the available memory up to about 10 megs but neither of them made a drastic difference this time. They did bump it from 7 or 8 up to about 16 yesterday when I noticed the issue though.

Here is what I've got in the process list of task manager. Not a whole heck of a lot as you can see. Certainly the memory totals there don't add up to what I should have.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Slide2unlock is KNOWN to suck memory into a black hole. It's why I stopped running it..way to much memory for a glorified screen saver.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Avatar28:
I know it uses a fair bit of RAM but I've found it cuts down drastically on accidental phone calls. I've also never had it suck anything like as much memory as has been going missing this time around. Hopefully it will be a non-issue anyways. The FreeStyl locker is SUPPOSED to be out this weekend and if it is I don't see myself using S2U anymore anyways.

In any case, when I took those screenshots, I had about 10.5-11 MB of RAM available even after relaunching battery status. I just checked my phone and it was down to 8.4 and then dropped to 8.3 in front of my eyes (but has since returned to 8.4). And that's without me even using the phone except to copy a couple of files over to the SD card through AS. Oxios Hibernate just got me up to 9.5.

I'm at work and got interrupted after writing the above. I just checked it one more time before submitting this message and free memory was down to 9.1 MB and that's WITHOUT Slide2Unlock running. :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Avatar28:
Strange. I reset the phone yet again and, thus far, it's been pretty stable with the memory consumption. Maybe something is not shutting down correctly and keeps eating memory?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
I would recommend you try this for a day or so...save your slide2unlock settings and directory.....completely uninstall the program (if it's set to engage when idle it may be losing memory and never giving it back even after it's been closed) and run it for 24 hours...check your memory usage..to prevent accidental dialing if you have batterystatus engaged add the devicelock icon to the tray and click on that to lock the phone.
