Hey rom looks awesome but unfortunatly i got a really crappy connection so if i want to download it i got to be willing to sacrifice atleast 4-5 hours, so im hoping everyone who uses it will post their comments so i can make a decision ( to be honest i hate the damn HTC Cube thts on the rom im using now it looks cool the first few times using it and its nice to show off but besides that i practically never use it)

I have been playing with it for an hour now. So far I love it!

The only thing that is a little weird is Q Menu for some reason does not emulate the backround of the today screen like the standard menu does. (I am pretty sure in R3 it did (I installed it on r3). See screenshots attached for comparision.

If the battery is as good as R4 this is a keeper. Did not freeze and boots quick.

Forget it. If you go into Quick Menu options in the view tab you can choose a backround image, if you choose today it will match.

I am leaving this up incase someone else is wondering.

Wi Fi

Twice when I tried enabling wifi in the com managre it would not turn on. After a reset it was okay. I remember this happened before (I believe in R2a) was there a fix for it?

Another question, in R4 when I clicked on the E icon on the top there was a counter as well as a diconnect button, now it just says conected with only a hide button. Is there a way to get the disconnect option back?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mendy7511:
Tonight is the night I get to answer all my own questions.

Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS

To add a Disconnect button:

HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)

To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:

HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)

To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:

HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Still No Mms

Gentlemen,

I'm new to upgrading my phone, I wandered in here after the friendly tmobile rep told me that WM6 wouldn't run on my phone and I would have to buy a new one. After a day of reading (christmas no less), I got this ROM on my phone and so far have been tickled pink.

However, I'm a tmobile US customer and my MMS gives me the "error synchronizing". Every time. I've tried every CAB also in the original parents thread. This leaves me wondering if there's not something I'm missing or what. Internet works great, mail works great, but MMS... I got nothing. This is a Wizard G4 running the rom in the original post. Any help - totally appreciated. I've even done it from the website by hand. One of the CABs also installed itself in such a way that I cannot delete the "T-Mobile MMS" settings profile either, which is a bother.

Thanks guys.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Glad you figured this (and other things) out. Yes, I intentionally set QMenu up to have this slightly different background as some complained they couldn't see the menu items very well with the same today screen background like it was in r4. But yes, just go into QuickMenu and change the background setting and you are good to go.

I've had no problems with turning Wifi on or off, not sure why you are having this (but I've seen this reported in the past on various roms.

got a link for this? I'll see how big it is, as yes, that would be nice to have in here (but not sure I can fit it in without removing other things). One key with trying to keep this rom more stable than r4 is not trying to pack it as tight as I did with r4. r5 is packed pretty tight but appears to have enough breathing room to avoid some of the instablility issues.

Care to elaborate what you mean by this? I can press twice on the send button and it will redial the last call. Or are you meaning something else?

This is a bug with Arcsoft MMS and not with the rom itself. I don't think the bug happened with a previous version of Arcsoft (but thats the one that has MMS and SMS merged and most people don't seem to care for that, but I actually really liked it and almost put it back in here).

Weird. Yeah, if you move the midi ringtone to the \Windows\rings folder then they show up, but they don't play correctly. I'll try to look at this, but I didn't do anything around ringtones, WMP, etc...

MMS can be tricky. There is a thread or two here specifically around MMS setup issues on WM6 roms on the Wizard. Here's one that I had bookmarked, maybe it will help you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=297538
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mendy7511:
Sorry I wasn't clear. When you start typing a name in the dialer some suggestions pop op. I used to be able to double click (on the screen) on the suggestion and it would dial.

Another issue I found is during a call the options on the bottom has just a white patch(see attached). If others can check to see if they have the same issue.

XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 RC1 with .NET CF 3.5! (bug?)

One thing I noted today on Release 5 RC1 - although I had a voice mail waiting the icon on the top of the screen was not being displayed. I wonder if the problem was with 5RC1 or with the WMTasks that is covering it? In any event..no icons.

The one issue that is bugging me is when you open file explorer

the windows folder has a funny icon, instead of a folder icon
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
WkTask is probably covering it. I didn't modify the size of the WkTask area. If you go into the options on WkTask you can modify the left edge and right edge so that the size of the area for icons is larger or smaller and what part of the menu bar it covers.

I don't use email on my phone (well, I use the Gmail client, but thats different) so have no experience with that. Maybe someone else can answer (and respond if its a behavior thats different than in other WM6 roms)

Well, this is caused by my using icons.dll and then a shortcut called icons for the toolbox and a couple of other places. Now that I think about this, I can work around this issue in a new build. I've made the change now. But if you really don't like this you have a couple of options. The easiest thing to do is create a blank file (on your pc or on your phone, doesn't matter) that is called icon.lnk . Then move this file to \Windows. The other option is to use Total commander to edit the properties of the icon.lnk file and remove ,-6 part of the shortcut.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Ok, yeah. The reTOUCHed dialer works a little different (and I like it better). So now, you start typing in a name or phone number and you see suggestions. Now use the Dpad by pressing down to highlight the one you want to select. To dial it, press the Send button. To look at the history of this contact press the center button on the Dpad. Since Smartskey is installed if you look at the history, just press and hold the right soft key and you will come back to the dialer. By using this method you never have to use your stylus (and even with my fat fingers I can use the screen to hit the number keys so no stylus required at all to dial).

Ok, you made me pull the SIM card out of my Tilt and put it in my 8125 to see this. I don't have what you see, so somehow your dialer background stuff has been corrupted. Your image doesn't even show the blue box that is supposed to be where the calling info is located. Not sure what happened, there, but you are definetly missing some files (or they've been overwritten). As a workaround you extract the contents of this zip into your \Windows directory to get the images back how they should be.

the only thing i dont like is the windows desktop like menu..i like the old one better...is there a way to change that???

props for the rom...like it..its fast...looks stable to me and i like the battery lasting:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Please let me know if thats the case. But I know XM6r3 has been running for a long time on many devices with little to no issues. Also like any type of Windows device, I recommend rebooting periodically. So if you are talking about running a week or more without a single reboot (soft reset) I think you will have trouble with about any Windows device (IMO)

Thats QuickMenu. Just go into the options and turn it off and you'll be back to the standard menu.

Thanks :)

@Physi - Thanks, I'll check this link out. Not sure I can put this in the ROM due to space restrictions though and I don't have time (or the want) to do an extended rom for this right now.

ROM working well so far...

Nice ROM. Was using BD 3.1, but it kept locking up on me after a while it would get stuck on the third splash screen, not sure why. Anyway, decided to try this one and am happy with it.

Seems to have a good mix of software that I actually use :) BTW PimBackup is at version 2.7, but you're only using 2.5, not that it matters for what I'm using it for, basic backup.

Thanx again for the great work. I'll post if I have any issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
Mike,

There will be a new Release for this XDA version, or this is already the final version?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jerocker:
The only issue i've had is my dialer. The numbers wont show up. Does in the beginning if you don't have a sim in or you have your sim protected and need a code to get in. But pressing phone... no dice. white holes where numbers should be. You can press them and they work. just no graphic to fill them.

Working on a:

8125 G3 -

3.08

3.08

02.25.11

Any ideas? Should i just flash it again?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Dialer should work (works fine on mine and many others). If that is the only issue you have (and you don't want to reflash) then look a few posts back where I posted the zip TOUCH by PEU zip file and put all those files in your \Windows folder. That should bring back the numbers and all. If it doesn't you need to reflash.

There will be an official Final release, but the changes (so far) are very minor. I'll actually release a CAB that will take an RC1 phone to Final without reflashing.

So far here's the list of my changes from RC1 to Final:

Fix Settings->System->About to show XM6r5 (currently shows XM6r4)

Upgrade PIM Backup to 2.7

Change Left and Right values in WkTask so things like Voice Mail notification icon can be seen

Remove the icon shortcut in \Windows so it has a standard folder look (Toolbox will still have the Folder with the tools on it)

Change WaitCursor to use Touch WaitCursor

So far thats it... Right now I'm very happy with this ROM and have to say, if it is my last Wizard ROM I will feel I left on a good note :) Other than software upgrade, not sure how much more (at this time) can be done with the 318 build.

When I release the final, I'll also release the cooking pack for it. At this point I don't plan on doing a Lite version (this works very well as is, and I don't see the point since you don't get back the space that isn't used).

I rewrote the phone dialer buttons and all the numbers are also white!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Did you soft reset after dropping the files in \Windows? Beyond that I have no idea what to tell you. For myself and others on this rom, the dialer is fine. What have you installed on your phone? You may have to hardreset (or better, reflash) and start over. But as far as I can tell, the stock rom does not have this issue, so I'm curious how this happened.

Last option: install the cab attached. Its basically what I built into the rom.

Iis there anyway u can fix the above issue?? i find it a pain to search thru my contacts n find it easier just to type their name

anyway everything else in this rom looks great man thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mendy7511:
I think the issue is ith schaps advanced config. it screwed up my comm manager in r4 (showwed all buttons one - others reported this issue as well) and now screwed up my dialer - both times the issue occurred after using advanced config. I but all the settings back to default and reset and now I have my dialer back!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] tekknogenius:
Works as expected for me when creating an SMS message. When createing an MMS it doesn't work like that (I don't think it ever worked like that), you need to tap on the To: as you stated above.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Thanks for confirming, but yeah, it works as expected for me also. WIth SMS, it will give you options from your contacts. But when creating from MMS you have to hit to To:. This is how I've always seen Arcsoft work on WM6.

Beta CAB for patching to future Final

Ok the beta version of the CAB I'm creating to take RC1 to Final without having to reflash can now be found attached to the first post of this thread. Files installed by this of course are installed in storage memory and NOT in the ROM (you have to flash to put things in the ROM). You must choose to install this on your device and not on the storage card (It shouldn't ask you but if it does choose device) for this to work.

So give it a try and report back to me with your feedback.

This version of the cab does the following:

Updates PIM Backup to 2.7

Changes WkTask left and right setting so it doesn't hide VoiceMail (and similar) notification icon

removes the tools folder icon from the Windows folder

Changes the Wait Cursor to be the Touch one

Change Start->Settings->System->About to show XM6r5 instead of XM6r4

Fixes Smartdialing Options in the dialpad menu

You will need to soft reset after this install completes. You can see the new Wait Cursor when the today screen is first starting to load (or go to the CommManager and press a button like FlightMode or Wifi and you should see the WaitCursor spin).

BTW: Also remember since this is a cab install, you can remove it, and if you do a hard reset you will have to install this again.

Unless I hear of some major issue this weekend, I'll look at building the Final version of XM6r5 in time to release on New Years (gotta keep with the Holiday releases :D )

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ykktotal:
Have flashed it for several days. It is stable and no hang. By now, no new application is installed and the speed is comparable to previous versions and other ROMs.

I am expecting a LITE version for this (or a version that allows the applications to be removed directly in "Romove Programs") because I still need to install many other softwares.

Thanks mfrazzz for your great ROM !!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Ok, if I press the send button to get to the phone screen with the keypad, I can hit Menu -> Options and it pulls up the Phone settings. Is this what you are doing? If not, please be more specific. Can someone else confirm this does or doesn't work for them?

Yeah, I believe I stated that a page or two back when I talked about releasing a final.

You may be expecting too much. I've already said I'm not sure I'm going to do a Lite version of the final. Since its most likely my last Wizard rom, I'll consider doing this, but I still don't understand why people want a Lite rom. By me removing things, it does NOT give you anymore space to install things. Its wasted space (IMO). As Famewolf said one time, its like having a finalized CD-R. I can completely fill it with stuff and give it to you and you can ignore what you don't want. Or I can give you a CD-R with only a couple of files on it. Either way, its the same size CD-R, and by not filling it, you can't use it for putting your own stuff on it (the Wizard does not work like the Hermes or Kaiser where you can use the unused part of the rom).

Also for your other comment, its impossible to give you a ROM where you can "Remove Programs". Whats in the ROM is in the ROM. The ROM area is a seperate area of memory from your Storage area (just like the Extended ROM is another area seperate from Storage and isn't usable for normal file storage).

So anyway, the jury is out on whether I build a "Lite" rom or not. The Cooking Pack (OEM/SYS/ROM folders) will be made available when this goes final so anyone can build it how they want it at that point.

Thanks... I think... ;)

I'll play around with this. But all you did was remove stuff from \Windows\Startup folder?

yes i confirm, what he meant is that when you had the dial pad phone on then hit the menu then hight light the " smart dialing option " it won't let you go to the next screen to modify the smart dial..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Ok, I was able to duplicate this. This happens if you turn off "Video Dialer" in Advanced Config or modifying the registry entry for this. I just duplicated this by going into Advanced Config, clicking on the Phone tab and then unchecking the first check box "Show video dialer", then hitting done to save the settings, and then doing a soft reboot. When the phone comes back up, all the buttons are gone. This is basically because I removed the standard dialer from this rom and thats now what its looking for. So to fix this, just go into Advanced Config, and then make sure "Show video dialer" is checked. Press done to exit and save the setting, then do a soft reset of the phone.

I have a T-Mobile MDA and since I did the cid unlock and sim unlock my camera has not worked. I have tried several radio's and several rom's with no luck. Could someone offer me some advice as to what to do next? I did try searching through the wizard forum with no luck. The only information I could find was in a different section (Kaiser) and they said to try a different radio which I have but nothing seems to make a difference. If I press the camera button nothing happens and if I manually launch the camera application nothing happens again. Thanks in advance.
