guys !!!!

http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/10/02/how-to-app-unlock-your-htc-s621-windows-mobile-smartphone/

I did this... This allowed me to run sda app unlock... now i installed 2 out of 2 cabs.... I just installed freddys portrait camera port. smarttoolkit htc album... have fun guys... OH AND ACTIVE SYNC WORKS FINE !!!!!!

nd4spd.. take a look at that page.. that is the key to our registry.

edit 10 cabs later still installing strong. :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] beamer069:
You are the man! Thanks shadowmike! I have been trying diffrent programs for last 45 min!

Worked for me too!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] the_matrixx:
great job! i have been looking and trying different tools. now hopefully we can make some progress since one road block looks like it may be out of the way.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
im going to switch computers and see what kind of securities there are on the windows folder and files.

still dont know were to find chome images for the new 6.1 sliding theme.

this is my commmanager. all registry edits work that i have tried anyway.

proposed start up image for op. or stick togeather
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] the_matrixx:
where you going to post the files for this or where do you get them?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] illi:
bleeds me!

i am asking someone to post the file…
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mr.g:
how'd you get that up?? as your background?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] illi:
on my tornado its in the bronzeres.dll. open it with PE Explorer

thanks
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
thanks ill try that out.

and mr.g i made that picture in photoshop.. :) im currently working on a wm6.1 skin for htc action screen.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ha85:
Can everyone else get the t-zones hack to work? no internet :-(

*nvm got it! silly me
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Yeah, I did. I'll put in the portrait one back in you guys want.

Nice Job shadowmike on finding the reg keys! I'll add them to the package at once! I'll make sure I also make the OS files read/write instead of read only.

About the startup screens, i don't know where it's pulling the wm6 image from, I have searched and could not find it. I think it's a separate OS file (like the stick together image) Out of curiosity, which image would you want for the operator screen, the animated T-Mobile Shadow image or the WM6.1 boot screen? I can put either one
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] freyes01:
Shadowmike - SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab is the tool that I used that let me change the Registry (I forgot to mention that before) but I didn't made those changes in the registry only: HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies "0000101b" = "1"

I'm glad that it works now.

Note: for those whom like the "new" portrait camera you can install this to change it: http://freddyreyes.com/forums/index.php?topic=278.0

What are the outstanding issues?

Did you try my theme hacks to fix the Start Menu?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] benjaminries:
Please, for the sake of those of us who use the SIM-unlocked Shadow on other networks, go with the WM6.1 branding rather than the T-mobile branding wherever possible.

This is great work. I think solving the blank start menu issue is way more important than shortening startup time.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] beamer069:
Using shadowmikes idea: installing smarttoolkit is so much better than using the old start menu. I had never used it before and now I love it so much! This resolves the issue for the time being.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] freyes01:
I agree with benjaminries. Let's focus on fixing all the issues before we start customizing or compressing the Rom.

Have anybody tried my theme fix for the start menu? I can't test it since I went back to wm6.0

Changing the topic.... Maybe I'm wrong but at allshadow.com most of the people liked the landscape camera better than the portrait mode.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
I'm rebuilding the rom right now. I've left the landscape camera as it is and have added the SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab as a package and have included all reg edits. I've cleaned out the OEM folder and the only OEM packages are the Adobe Flash Lite 5.0 and Esmertec Java. I have added freddy reyes theme as default. Operator startup/shutdown screen is going to be the WM6.1 boot image.

Any other changes I should make before building the os file?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] freyes01:
Great work....!

What about copying the CHome_start.png file to the \Windows directory to see if it fixes the Start Menu?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] the_matrixx:
I tried your theme fix ideas for the start menu and it didn't do anything.

I have tried the portrait fix a couple of times and it didn't work. No camera at all, not even listed as a running process so I had to put it back the other way. The portait one I like better because you don't have to change how your holding the phone but I keep the landscape fix on my phone when I want it that way.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Sure, I'll try that. Freddy, you were right. The CHome_Start_Background.png file was missing and that's probably why the start menu didn't populate. I'll just put your green version and pull out the rest of your theme file.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] the_matrixx:
is it supposed to be CHome_Start_Background.png or CHome_Start_Background.jpg? the one i had and what freddy wrote was CHome_Start_Background.jpg i thought. also, can you think about putting the portrait camera back in to see if it will work?

update - it needs to be CHome_Start_Background.png, with the other reg keys Freddy mentioned, and restart the phone, and the start menu programs will show up!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] the_matrixx:
now, anyone have any idea how to get the wheel to light up when you click it or why freddy's portrait camera cab won't work?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mr.g:
i tried it and it didnt work... so i uninstalled it
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Just flashed a new version. The start menu comes up populated. Unsigned applications install properly. Installed TCPMP, OmapClock, PointUI and others without any problem
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
thats sweet...

have you tried to put the myfaves in the home screen at all ? i changed the diabled = 1 to 0 last night in registry but it did nothing.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
uhm... yeah... its not the picture causing the start menu to populate. as ive installed one of my themes with some of the same reg entries as freddy and EVEN copyied over start menu background and tmobile basic brown and still no start menu.

btw ben sent me some stuff in pm for the t-mobile neo screen. i dont know if he sent it to others but im looking into it now.

also im working on some 6.1 green images to replace the current left over brown if anyones interested. also i have a nice 6.1 dialer :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
I've purposely left it out of the previous build because of what benjaminries said about having less T-Mobile stuff. If you want I can make a test version with the plugin enabled. I can't test it because I don't have myFaves
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
gotcha.. no problem. That would be cool if you could do that.. or would a install cab with all the files and reg edit work ??

also i changed carrier_splash and carrier_shutdown pngs with the ms_splash.png to get rid of that ugly carrier logo at startup and shut down. just so you al know you can do that :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] freyes01:
Shadowmike - can you try to install one of my themes instead (vista2)?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Smokuevo:
i can't seem to be able to update. i run the update utility do everything when it gets to 2% it fails.. says to check the file and the memory card way does not work either
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] freyes01:
You need to CID unlock your phone. Check the first pages of this thread for instructions.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
will try it out. your site is running slow for me tho.

im downloading 535 bits/s from your site.

im downloading 25 - 35 KBytes/s from all other sites.

do you have mirrors for your themes or are they ALL on your site? Because I stopped the download, its already been 10 mins and it only downloaded 385 Bytes. can you put it on sendspace ? (rapidshare sucks)

also nd4spd i can give you a free max account on sendspace if you want. i have enough points saved from my psp skinning days. rapid share is cool but it sucks when the download stops and i have to wait 26 mins because rapid share is wants to save on bandwidth
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Could we all share the account? I'd feel awkward using something you have probably spent a bit of money on and keeping it as my own.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] tissle:
If you guys need any webstorage or anything website related, let me know.

No need to use Sendspace or Rapidshare.

I can set you guys up with FTP access or even a website it self.

Just post back if you guys need it.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kron2:
has any one had this problem I am trying to unlock the phone with the new rom the way shadowmike posted I put the cab files in active sync and went to file explorer on the phone but the cab files don't show up
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
well to be honest.. i dont know how sendspaces policy is with multiple computers logging into one user name but if you create a free account the code i can give you will turn your account into a max account for a month. this will allow you to upload the rom and give us a link that will directly download the rom instead of going to sendspaces page. also i dont know how rapid share works but sendspace keeps track of all your files uploaded and give your points for max account upgrade or give away.

or we can look into this ftp and webserver. but what are the download speeds like ?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] benjaminries:
Oh hai. Sorry, I had just meant to raise a suggestion. I actually use Rinku's myFaves plugin currently as a poor man's photo dialer.

I only meant to suggest that when it comes to splash screens and dialer backgrounds, I'd personally prefer the generic WM6.1 graphics over the T-mobile graphics. And as for Neo, I'd like to work on it once a working "vanilla" WM6.1 ROM (with Slide theme) is stable. If we can't integrate Neo and Slide, I'm sure there will be some who would wish for a WM6.1 Rom that uses Neo, not Slide. (Not me, if I had to pick one or the other I'd go with Slide).

Really you guys, do whatever works best. Beggers can't be choosers, and I'm only throwing my two-cents in to provide feedback. Kthxbai
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
we should be able to put my faves in and only show up if my faves is actually needed like the shadow did on wm6.0 right ?

also .. ive never messed with dll's if i replace files in a dll the shadow will read it right.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
rinkus plugin ?

also we are all providing feedback to a final rom that will work on all shadows :) ... i think... :rolleyes:

nd4spd want some of these images and reg edits for the next rom ?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Sure, That looks really nice. Nice skinning shadowmike! I'll put in the official myFaves plugin for people who have it. I guess it will automatically disable if you don't have it. I'd be interested in the FTP server. If you want I can set up public access to a folder on my Windows Live SkyDrive. my account name is nd4spd_pro (at) live (dot) com. Make the (at) into @ and (dot) into .
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kron2:
on the phone with the new rom in my documents I see the main folders and some wav. and image files but on active sink I see the folders but don't see the image or wav. files and win I put cab files 0n the active sink I don.t see them on the phone I must be missing a setting but I can't seam to find it help pls.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
I will. The camera shorcut and camera.exe did nothing so I'm going to check if I have everything right and then post it.

Comm Manager

Can anyone help?? Here is my comm manager:

i want it to be like this

is it registry hacks to get all those settings to come up... and for some reason my data connection never comes up in the comm manager... thanx in advance
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kron2:
o.k thx and like I said Many times great job and looking good.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
I will personally send someone 50 bucks if they make a 6.1 shadow rom. with a led color changer :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Just wanted to say that if you are porting wm 6.1 to the shadow you shouldn't start with my rom or any other already ported to another device. You'd better use the original.

If that's useful to you I've uploaded all the files already extracted from the Moto Q wm 6.1 rom here : http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev/wm 6.1/6.1 from moto Q (OEM+SYS+XIP).rar
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] freyes01:
These are the instructions from Dr. Martin Gonzo:

We need to extract the "Xip" from the original Shadow Rom and overwrite the Rom with 6.1 files, but... How do you determine what are the device specific parts in the ROM?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] nottoosmart:
Where is the documentation on how to flash the device and possibly the download for the complete kitchen. I have a moto q9h and im pretty sure the xip would be close to the moto q. I used to be a chef for the wizard and would love to see what we can make these devices do. any links would be awesome.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] pixelwix:
hey nottoosmart, glad to have you here on the smartphone scene, i used a couple of your roms back in the days of the wizard :)

anways here is ther RUU for the shadow, without the nbh i'll upload that later
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kwoodall:
Microsoft has the official emulator roms at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...1e-c093-4b15-ab0c-a2ce5bffdb47&DisplayLang=en

...and I was wondering just how hard would it be to pull the important bits (the new IE, texting, new chome/homescreen, etc out?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Thanks for this rom image. Of course, I'm still looking for a way to do the CID unlock. Is it possible to use pdocread to find the CID block in the shadow? The default settings for Lokiwiz's batch file and other sites I've looked at show as null in the Shadow. Also the device id is just a bunch of 0s.

It isn't hard pulling the stuff out, it's making the driver's work for the shadow that's hard, i think....:)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] pixelwix:
ND4SPD i'm actually doing some reading on building roms, what tools are you using? i have the shadow rom, i trying to extract the files and what not.. care to point me to the tools?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Try using the Tadzio tools. They can be found in the Hypercore rom kitchen(first place I thought of) and loads of other places on the forum
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] pixelwix:
i've got the ipl and spl if anyone knows how to patch them.. or make a jumpspl out of them. that would get the ball rolling
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
I've got all the SYS files replaced as directed an am running G'reloc right now.

Dr. Martin Gunzo, I guess this question would be mainly directed at you, as freyes01 said, which files are device specific?

List of files include: busenum.dll, cachefit.dll, cecompr.dll, ceddk.dll, certmod.dll, coredll.dll, device.exe, devmgr.dll, diskcache.dll, fatfsd.dll, fatutil.dll, FileManager.exe, FileManager.exe.0409.MUI, filesys.exe, fsdmgr.dll, fsreplxtilt.dll, giisr.dll, hd.dll, imgfs.dll, initvmmap.exe, kd.dll, mencfilt.dll, mspart.dll, nk.exe, osaxst0.dll, osaxst1.dll, pm.dll, regenum.dll,trueffs.dll,mxip_initdb.vol, and mxip_lang.vol

There are some obvious ones like device.exe that are device specific, but which ones aren't? Thanks
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
okay. the only thing I changed was the coredll.dll, which I saw on another thread was the least amount to change in the xip to make it work. I guess I have a rom ready for us to test with once we find a way to get cid unlocked.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] pixelwix:
i sent pof a pm to see if he could help us with a jumpspl
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] the_matrixx:
CID Unlocked

My Shadow is CID unlocked already. How sure do we think it'll work? Either way I don't mind trying it out. I have WM 6.1 on my MDA and really like it so I really would like it on my Shadow. I don't agree with what they said on allshadow.com about there isn't any point and they doubt TMobile will do it because the Neo screen was a precursor to the 6.1 screen. There are many more improvemments that just that where I think the upgrade is definitely a must.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] pixelwix:
how did you get it CID?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
I don't want to screw your Shadow up with a rom that I made. Are you sure you want it? At this point, it's not a full port of the rom. It just has the most basic changes to the rom to make it work.

If you still want to try it, I'll rebuild the rom this evening and upload it here. I'll leave out the IPL and SPL from the rom, just in case.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] freyes01:
Let me ask you one question. If I have the original T-Mobile ROM, Do you think it would be possible to go back to it after flashing this Rom?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] pixelwix:
i would hold of on flashing any test builds till the spl is modded, that way, there is no way to brick your phone.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
HAHA Keep thinking t-mobile cares for you, Keep thinking Microsoft & HTC cares for you. Truth is the shadow to them is a TEEN-EARLY20's "FUN" PHONE. Not a phone worth updating. Check the list of phones that are scheduled for a 6.1 update from microsoft. HTC JUNO/T-Mobile Shadow NOT on the list. Keep checking this thread because this is our only hope. Mabey we should send this thread to M$ so they will see we want it and they may just do it :rolleyes:

Also Microsoft sends HTC the 6.1 upgrade. HTC then puts it on their new phones, and sends a update to the Carriers for their customers, T-mobile gets it and installs t-zones and al their crap like myfaves and app lock and so forth and then send it to us.... Thats 3 companies to go through before we get an update, and we have to rely on HTC to send it to t-mobile. Because T-mobile wont get the files from microsoft to make an update for a phone they didnt create.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kormanb1123:
Yeah shadowmike, you might be right. I already sent an email to HTC about WM 6.1 update for Shadow. I'm curious if they respond.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
@mr. g: It's registry hacks I think the path to it is: HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager. I'm not sure because I don't have my phone in front of me now.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kron2:
i put my Chome_Start_background.jpg in the windows folder and it worked but i had to set the reg it was at

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] shadowmike:
as far as i know theres no scheduled release today...

the last release was 1 or 2 pages ago. the post talks about it being app unlocked but its not. you have to follow my instructions posts later and youll be fine.

the next version i believe will include

app unlock

myfaves (wont display if you do not have my faves)

possible watermark/dial pad backgrounds if i can get them uploaded for nd4spd

I'm been a member of xda-developers community for a while now and I know that few years ago (maybe 2 years) Microsoft almost sue them for hosting phone Roms and they were forced to remove it.

I wouldn't recommend you to use your own ftp site.

It's better to use sendspace or rapidshare if you don't want any trouble.

Hi ND4SPD - when are you going to post version 3?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mr.g:
theres already a 3rd version??
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
If I have time to work on it today, I will post it today. If I can't, I'll make sure to post it tomorrow. Just a heads up, next week I have an AP exam and will be focusing more time on that like I have today instead of working on the rom. I won't have as much time to make releases. Sorry!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] benjaminries:
Haha, don't be sorry!

I think what most of us are waiting for is a ROM with the Start Menu correctly populating. That alone would be worth a new release, because as I understand it we could app unlock ourselves using the instructions on this thread.

The start menu was the last major bug remaining. Release any ROM tonight with that fixed, and I predict you'll have quite the army of testers accrue over the week...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ND4SPD:
Sure thing. It'll be ready in the next 40 mins. I've got to rebuild the rom and then upload to sendspace.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kron2:
this is all you have to do to see the Start Menu use a image that is 240x295 name it Chome_Start_background.jpg
