by the way c_shekhar, in case you will make a VERSION C of this WM6.1, can i suggest you set the DEFAULT DATE to the day you cooked it?

when i hard reset, the date always reverts back to 2003, still have to make plenty of presses to set date to 2008, because the keyboard is not yet functional at the start-up after hard reset.

i noticed you set the default time zone to DELHI already, so maybe its just a small effort to set the date to 2008. thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] SaBo:
You are doing it wrong.

Tap on 2003 and you can switch to 2008 instantly.

Tap on month and you can switch to correct month instantly.

Then set day.

Strange!! It should normally not happen unless you fiddle around with something which disturbs the partition system. I think you should hard reset your device and I beleive that the prob should be solved.

Windows Mobile 6.1 Kitchen

Hi! everybody

I have been reading different forums and have gathered a few WM6 kitchens. I read on how to cook it and make own version. I was more interested in playing with a confirmed and an error free WM6.1 version like that of Mr. Shekhar's as this will lead to learning. Playing with a right thing does not distract you. I read an article on using a ROM file and using it as Kitchen starting point.

I did try a few things on the ROM but with a little success. The first thing that stopped me was the password that is required when you convert nbf file to nba. Though it makes an nba to proceed further yet it warns that the password is wrong. Second after extracting the raw image file it stucks when it comes to using Package Tool by Bepe. It explode the raw image generating a lot of files and folders in the dump area. The package tool is required to move the files to SYS and OEM folders but unfortunately it does not do anything. May be I am doing something wrong. Help from you people will take me a step futher.

Awaiting an advise on how to proceed further.

I have tried to upload the cab file but because it is 6.1MB it didnt let me upload. I have converted the file to Zip format and tried to upload but still no luck.

Last try was to upload to third party site, I have uploaded the cab file on megaupload here is the link:

http://http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IFUUQKJO

You have to uninstall the prev TomTom 6 before installing this one.

Hope this helps!

Hi, this rom is faster than wm 6.0. However, why is it the messages i received from the same sender went only to one folder. i mean the messages are continuous. example, if you send me ten messages i will receive all those but in my inbox there is only one entry for all those ten messages. When I open it, I can read all the messages continuously. Is it really that way?

Hi jp_benzene,

This SMS *feature* on WM6.1 is called "Threaded SMS" If you wish to revert back to the classic SMS display, try to look for a filenamed "cs.NoThreadedSMS.cab" posted by master C_Shekhar on this thread or try editing the registry manually: (posted by clarkdevlin on this thread)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM

-create a new DWORD Entry

SMSInboxThreadingDisabled = 0x1 (1)

if you don't see the "OEM" key then create one.

It is working I think you should download the cab file again and take the old one out.

This is how I did it

1: Uninstall the already installed cab

2: Soft Reset (Restart) the XDA

3: Download the new one from the forum

4: Install the new cab onto the phone

5: Soft Reset the phone

6: Yeepppeee its working

Hope this helps :D

I completely Agree with you. For me the first Reason to buy the XDA were I could give up my normal phone and combine to a PDA which I really needed it professionally as well Private. The only thing were missing for me in XDII was the keyboard. After waiting for 2 years for a improved version I change to HTC universal which is larger and heavier then Himalaya That makes actually difficult to carry on your belt for whole day long. After that I wait again for while to get something improved (kind to combine the strong points of two devices)

Well HTC seams FOR ME getting every year more worse then previous years in aspect of usability of the PDA-phones. Look at the current devices they have. they are to small for PDA but to big for a Phone. I do understand the need to have device's for young generation but HOW ABOUT the PDA/biz aspect what happened to the 3.5" screen that is just Perfect. Hell I even think for young generation which needs devices for Games, Video, What so ever the current devices are to small.

Currently I also return back using Himalaya even I miss the keyboard on my Universal but for whole day use ( Day/ Night) Himalaya has Just the perfect size and weight. It is to bad that you cant get that much spare part for Himalaya anymore. I would really need a good new Housing.

Nevertheless I reach point in Which I reconsider to separate PDA and Phone functionality again.

Hello you are right about Hima, I have tried HTC as well but it is not the same thing. Although I hate to use visual keyboard on hima as I take ages to type anything (specially when typing SMS, I take forever). My mind runs 10 times faster than I type, which makes typing on hima with the stylus pen annoying sometimes.

As you have talked about spare parts check out this site LINK. They have some stuff online, I bought 2 hima pens from there as I have lost 4 previously. I just can't remember what I do with them after using it (they all seems to be in the house somewhere I just cant find them, so I keep on buying new ones:D)

I was running the C_ShekharAKU7.0c.R40.P24_public version and this was working fine for me, nog problems.

Now im testing C_ShekharWM6.1.1bR16.P32_public and it looks good.

But im missing one thing.

when you go to the settings / Memory.

Here was a tab were you could close all your programs. Where did the tab go to, and is it possible to get it back.
