Changing The Clock Front

Go to Start> All Programs> Accessories> and click on CHome Front Changer, to change your selection, just push the center "D" pad button to the "right".........!:D

My Photos Works Like A Charm

My Photos in this new 6.1 ROM (18) v4 works like a charm. When you take a picture, it's now in the photo slide on the home screen. First you must install the CHome.dll to the Windows Directory, the CHome.dll is located in post number 1.............!:D
[HTC Excalibur] killswitch:
Oddly enough I don't seem to have that program in my accessories menu. I thought it asked me about it after the cold boot during the install hrrm.. I sure hope I dont have to flash my phone all over again jus for the clock app :( any chance of a cab file?

UpGrade To The Newly Released 6.1 ROM (18) V4, It's Got It All

If you don't have v4, then I woud advise you to upgrade to v4 ASAP, because it has it ALL, truly now the best 6.1 ROM without a doubt..........!:D
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:
I 've downloaded and installed and now I have to scroll more than 450 picures just to see \storage card\my documents\my pictures content! :D :D

I have TOM TOM on the storage card, and some other appz and the cmhome.dll in post n.1 browse for pictures ALL the storage card content. :mad:(I think it has beeen HEX edited and the picture path was replaced with the \ S t o r a g e C a r d \ * path)

I was stupid enought to overwrite the old cmhome.dll so I can't revert it back.

Could someone post the ORIGINAL cmhome.dll please?
[HTC Excalibur] killswitch:
Yea but I'm sure version 8 will be out by the next Thursday :D think i'll hold off on another flash but thanks for clearing that up for me.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
I Feel You

If I were you, I would just do a reinstall of the newly released v4, this new release is hot....................!:D
[HTC Excalibur] blahzay_blah:
how about the font for the entire phone be in script like the clock
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:
.....and I will have the SAME storage card *.images bug again! :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Just a suggestion. Try double checking your ROM for spelling errors before you release it. A couple of the tools you included in the accessories folder, have a "Cancle" button.

p.s. Adding technology's stupid software, defininitely made me stop trying your ROMs.
[HTC Excalibur] skisteven1:
FYI NRGZ -- it's spelled "definitely"

Also, I wouldn't call it "stupid" software, but it's definitely something that I don't think should be included in the ROM. Because space on the device is limited, that's definitely the type of app that I would install on an SD card. Ideally, (at least in my opinion), the ROM should only have apps that apply to everyone (or almost everyone), or require some sort of integration. An alternative to including everything would be to provide a list of recommended apps, and links to their download location.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Eh... so I added an extra "ni" in it...

heres the original cmhome.dll file.(FILE REMOVED - DIDNT WORK)

ive been keepin up with the new rom releases but i dont want to flash everytime theres a new release. kavanas original 318final works fine for me. all the customizin ricks been doin with it is nice for those who dont want or know how to customize without havin to flash. what i would like to see is more hackin on the slide feature. possibly to be able to add new slide menu slots and whatever file shortcuts to it.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
:(look guys i cant make eveyone happy i spend all my spear time making theses rom i asked yesterday if you what any of your applications added and the only person that ask was Technology os i added his app!!!!!! but i will remove it tonight and about the spelling "Cancle" button. it nothing to do with me its celecmd.exe i try to change the spelling but i couldt do it

The New Photo Sliding Media, Super Job Rick!

First of all, thanks for putting my Blue-ray Screen Video player in your newly released 6.1 (18) v4 ROM. The Photo Sliding media is a major break through, man you did a super job with the photo slide, that is so beautiful.
[HTC Excalibur] trmacdonal:
Great Job

Hey Rick these roms are great. SO much better than the T-Mobile! I, and I am sure others, really appreciate it. I was going to buy a new phone, but my Dash has been given new life. For anyone having trouble with internet sharing, I used to just connect to my pc and select T-Mo data as the service. This works on Vista fine. I was worried that sharing would not work on XP, but when I switch to the T-Mobile WModem Link it worked fine. Faster than it used to be. My onlyh issue right now is that I can't send bluetooth audio to my stereo receiver anymore. I can recognize the device as a stereo headset, but can't get the music to play though BT. It just plays through the device speaker. BTaudio doesn't work, anyone have any other ideas? Oh and rick any chance you could make a top bar .png that matches the gradient start button for the green theme? Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
So what happened to the option for the clock ontop in version 3?
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
dont get me wrong rick. upgradin from 6.0 to 6.1 usin ur rom is a great way to start out with. wish i had been patient and upgraded with ur rom so i wouldnt have gone through the headaches with customizin my homescreen since i dont fully understand xml. but its good to know if i ever need to reflash, theres a rom cooked to my wants in a theme. thats why i have ur recent rom, before blue-ray player, on standby. Thank You Rick for spendin so much time on cookin up these custom roms for the community.
[HTC Excalibur] -RotorDemon-:
Noticed that the exclamation mark (alt+M) is now an equals symbol. How to I go about remapping that correctly?

As well as a few other alt characters. FWIW I am in the US.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
I don't think your file is any good. I inserted ricky's file (and hated it since it pulled even all of the stored images in my temp internet files on my SD card) then tried to overwrite with the one you posted and its basically a 0kb file. no data in it. ( and yes i re-downloded it again) When i copied your over ricky's my homescreen had no sliding panel at all!. Thank god i did a sprite backup b-4 i did this.

Damn! Even sprite backup couldn't save me. So i guess im stuck with ricky's .dll if i want any sliding panel at all. (unless i want to re-install the whole rom again, which i don't)
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
what the hell??? whys this file so stubburn??? it cant be copied or transfered in any way. cant even be seen through a pc desktop. only with Rescos search feature, but thats about it. sorry about that. i tried
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Update.... i was able to get sprite backup to work after all. i just had to hard reset and then run the backup file to get it to work
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
New Photo Slide

pudgedaddy have you tried the new photo home screen slide, it now works the the way it was suppose to work. As you know, this is one of the fixes in the newly released 6.1 (18) v4 ROM...........!
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
thats good to hear. now to get a copy of the original file uploaded here for future use. i would check out the modded one rick has but if i dont like it i would like to be able to go back to the original.
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:
I haven't any backup.... Ricky do you have the original version?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
open resco then open celetask kill home.exe then go back to resco go to windows and delete cmhome.dll then restart
[HTC Excalibur] BENJMNS:
so to upgrade to v4, must i go thru the entire process again?

it was tricky to get vista mobile center to detect my 6.1 phone and i don't want to risk it not working with v4. i must have that syncing capability to load up my exchange server info.
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
Ive got 2 problems with the v3 release.

1)The option to remove the clockontop application is gone.

2)when using the jbed java thing, i get that weird cursive font that makes opera mini look horrible.

Any one know the fixes for these.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:

new update goto front page
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
I also had some mighty painful problems with vista recognizing my device... but it was easily solved by going to MS download center and re-installing WMDC 6.1 (either x86 or x64, depending on your install). This solved the recognition problems... but BT with the The Toshiba Stack is still a problem I am trying to overcome.
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
Change your system font... I think it Java uses Rickys scriptina as the base font.
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
Its gotta be something else because my system font is Segoe UI
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
I would just double check in the registry to be sure.... but I am experiencing the same problem, I will post any solution
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
raise MMS size limit above 100k?

is there anyway to raise the MMS size limit? the max is 100k
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
go to window on your smartphone and rename Scriptina.ttf to Scriptina.000 then restart phone then delete Scriptina.000
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
Ohh thank you very much
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Here you go....i set my max to 425K
[HTC Excalibur] blahzay_blah:
in my opinion i think these rom releases are very useful but i shud just say that RICK or KAVANA make a SUPERIOR ROM which has all the apps that are useful to everyone, any other programs that people want they can just add themselves in my opinion theres no need to be lazy welp i said my peace OH and keep up the superb work rick

EXCELLENT!!! Thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Please dont say we have to reflash again lol
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
now that would be very useful. how does this work? correct me if im wrong but it seems as if custom progs can only be added by moddin the cmhome.dll file.

[HTC Excalibur] vwgtiron:
Rom

OK now this is something I would like to see included with the ROM also remove any bloat from other languages, please use the attached et9 layout this is the american tmobile dash version.I looked through the stuff and I would just like you to remove any default pictures, ringtones that aren't necessary any log and text files that are not necessary and that does it for me. Thanks for all you do for us and I would make a donation for all your hard work. You have revived my Dash. I just ordered a 4GB sdhc card woot!!
[HTC Excalibur] Poussun:
Your ROM is really good.

But could you please modify the ET9 to add other langages like French or Dutch ?
[HTC Excalibur] vwgtiron:
cant you just overwrite the existing et9 with french or dutch? I was just requesting a ROM with the american et9 because I am lazy LOL
[HTC Excalibur] Dreamcatch:
I love this rom. The only thing that's missing for me is German language and keyboard (QWERTZ) support. Also the thing with the favourite programs on the homescreen is really neat :)
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
I already tried this but home.exe doesnt show up in processes or tasks although i do see it in the ROM's task manager in processes. Is there a way for celetask to show hidden processes?

edit....nevermind i figured it out.

Update: i i got the home .exe program stopped and i used resco to navigate to the cmhome.dll file, but it would not let me delete it. i think because its part of the ROM since "rom" is one of the options selected in the attributes ( and im talking about the original cmhome.dll not the hacked one) and BTW....it still wouldnt zip down properly either
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
cmhome.dll

Hey rick, is it possible for you to edit the cmhome.dll just to point the pictures to either \storage card\my documents , or \storage card\my documents\my pictures ( or pictures)

Or for that matter tell me which apps you use to edit the .dll file
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Aww crap! Now my phone will not let me change my homescreen! i've tried every homescreen in the list and it will not change! It's stuck on the Sliding Panel Media homescreen. I've even tried changing the backround to default and the color to default but it still wont even change those! I even tried removing the home folder from the application data directory and didnt show anything. Then i readded the folder and it reverted back to the sliding panel media homescreen but still wouldn't let me change it!

I hope that by killing the home.exe app earlier i didnt screw something up!

( and yes i have soft reset my phone!)

Ok this is friggin weird! I figured out the problem, but i dont know how or why this happened. In my settings-->home screen ... the options for home screen, color, and background are duplicated

so i have it twice in the dropdown...so its looks like this : home screen, color sheme, and background and then home screen, color sheme, and background again. if i change anything on the first set of options is does nothing, but if i change it on the second set of options it works.
[HTC Excalibur] BENJMNS:
i think it's cuz you're clicking on the rom flash program v. clicking on like the autoloader. u need to go thru a few manual steps first.
[HTC Excalibur] Dreamcatch:
I used to have the same problem with an earlier flash. I then copied back my backup file from sprite backup and used the merge option. My guess is that this merge caused the doubling of some menu items. Did you use sprite backup?
[HTC Excalibur] BENJMNS:
you guys should seriously consider uploading your files to skydrive.live.com using your windows Live ID instead of these kludgy download sites that make you pay or wait... so long as the file is under 50MB per upload.

you get 5gigs of space that you can us for whatever u want. like right now i can't download v5 cuz of some error on that that saying 've already started downloading when in fact i haven't so my IP is blocked.
[HTC Excalibur] BENJMNS:
fyi my dash just crapped out on me forcing a battery removal not sure what happened i believe i'm on v3
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Yes.... what did you say fixed it 4 u ...i hope its not a reflash of my ROM
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:
Thanks! :)

I will add just a suggestion for other users. HOME.EXE is a hidden process.

open celetask, menu, options, show excluded, then view, processes.

Home appears, terminate!

Thanks again rickwyatt!
[HTC Excalibur] BENJMNS:
can somebody pls host ricky's v5 version at some other site? heck i'd be willing to do it just that i can't download it any longer cuz it blocked out my IP based on 1 download limit for free users and i didn't even get to download it. thx :)

Could you please do a small tutorial,

Because I tried to flash the ROM, 6.1, but I got an invalid error.

What are the steps to follow up to flash the rom again?
[HTC Excalibur] w4rchild:
Invalid image, something like in the 10 % of installing.

I did all the steps same as 6.1 Kavanna.

I use the sim unlocked tool, them I reboot the mobile.

And click ROMUpdateUtility.exe, Invalid image, something like that in the 10 % of installing.
[HTC Excalibur] BENJMNS:
you guys should never click on the romupdateutility and start it.

use click auto.bat file or whatever and it'll prompt u all u do is press a key to continue. it pulls up a dos screen.

jus follow the on screen instructions and then u should be golden.

Here's how I got it to work

I'm a noob in flashing. I started doing this last week when I flashed my Wizard & I know how it feels to be a frustrated noob. :)

Flashing the original Kavana 080318 was fairly simple, but this ROM is not bundled the same way. I think my main issue was running the Auto.bat from WinRAR instead of extracting the files & running Auto.bat from my desktop.

Here's how I got it to work.

1. Place the RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Ricky_v5 Zip on your desktop. Right click the RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Ricky_v5 Zip & select extract here. Winrar will extract etract a new folder titled the same RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Ricky_v5 to your desk top (look around your desktop if you don't see it, its there ;)).

2. Okay, double click the new RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Ricky_v5 file on your desktop & launch the Auto.bat thats inside the file here's what happens a Windows\system32\cmd.exe DOS window will open & you'll be prompted to press a key it will app unlock (Unlocking your Excalibur) hit any key & you'll be asked to confirm the unlock so hit a key, next hit any key to copy JumpSpl.exe to Excalibure root directory, next hit any key & it will copy USPL.nb to the Excalibur root directory, okay pay attention on this next step, press any key & it will execute SPL & look at the screen on your phone you should have a XDA-Developers JumpSPL v1.0 disclaimer letting you know that they dont take any responsibility if you damaged your phone. You must press the center action button on your phone to continue & the screen on your phone will turn nearly white & ActiveSync will disconnect from your phone.

3. Now go back to the to what you were doing on the Auto.bat Windows\system32\cmd.exe MS-DOS window the last step you left of on should read execute SPL now, press any key & it should say RUU to flash ROM (DON'T TOUCH THE USB LINK LINE) hit any key & continue.

4. If you followed the steps above correctly the Smartphone ROM update Utility 3.9.35 window should have opened check all the caution boxes & keep hitting enter & it should start flashing to this Rom with no errors.

I'm not responsible for any phone's that get bricked, as I had to take the risk of bricking my own phone as well.

I have to give props Kavana & torickwyatt for there great work. There ROMS brought life back into my T-mobile Dash. :)
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
new update coming later today
[HTC Excalibur] kparikh82276:
U is the man ricky...

OK!...

I tried the kavana rom. I loved it. I figured yours would be a great modification. So far it is. But i noticed that the keyboard is giving me the wrong symbols.

Any way to correct that.

I wasn't having that problem w/ kavana.

Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks in advance.
