Experience WM6.1 @ S730

It is stabile. Great job! Nice homescreen!

Bads:

- Sometimes no sound possible, no music, no ringtone, not possible to talk and to hear

during a telephone call. Reboot necessary otherwise useless device.

- Bluetooth still communications problems with parrot 6100.

- Bluetooth receiving files from sony ericsson or nokia not possible.

- got onetime to less memory to start camera

- Time gap of about 10 sec before I can enter the sim pin.

- still relatively slow booting (little faster then HTC)

But it is faster than the HTC rom.

I’m considering to sell this phone and buy a not windows phone. I have to much stability problems. I use the phone for business.

Some HTC rom and windows problems:

- during receiving a call, disconnect the phones usb connection, sometimes the phone hangs, reboot required.

- when keylock is active and an appointment alarm, disable is on the same button as the unlock function. So when one wants to open the appointment he has to cancel the appointment.

- When keylock is active it isn’t really active ( problem above)

- Very often my phone isn’t reachable, so when one wants to call me he/she gets my voicemail.

- Slow booting

Wishes:

- All (Microsoft) bugs fixed ;-)

- GPS enable :-)

Met vriendelijke groeten /

Kind regards,

sliding panels messenger plugin

I have this ROM running since a few weeks and it is really fast and I love the slinding panels theme. Today I tried to use windows live / messenger, this works but I saw on the Vox forum that there is a plugin for windows live for slinding panels, I can't find / get it to work

Problem playing protected WMA's

Hey guys,

I've been rocking this ROM for a solid few weeks now, and am loving it. Thanks for the hard work, Alcaline!

The one issue I've run into is with playing WMA files that are protected by DRM. One of the major things I've always used my Windows Mobile devices for is listening to tracks from subscription services like Rhapsody or Napster.

With this ROM, whenever I try to play a protected WMA, Windows Media Player just throws up a "Downloading codec" message and then does nothing. Any attempts to start any other program after this (even clicking on the Start Menu to bring up the app list) throws up an "'x' is not a valid Windows CE application" error.

I tried a few different fixes involving messing around with WMA codec DLL's, but no luck. Anybody else running into this issue or have a fix? Or am I the only dork that actually pays to download music =P

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Wings] moldavite:
The Windows Live Sliding Panel is disabled in this rom by default.

To enable it you need to edit the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome\CWindowsLive

Change Disabled 1 to Disabled 0

then restart the phone.
[HTC Wings] playerkiller:
You're just reqired to reload Sliding panel to make changes take effect.
[HTC Wings] nielswillems:
unnecessary services

Hey Alcaline,

Isn't there a way to remove some unnecessary services in this rom?

To freeup ram.

Or are they all too necessary?

Greets,

Niels
[HTC Wings] nielswillems:
sticky?

And when becomes this tread a sticky?
[HTC Wings] hotlips69:
This update works brilliantly and the phone feels like it's got more urgency.

The only thing I can't figure out is how to get the phone to automatically check the time and correct if required to keep it totally accurate?
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
Hi there,

Theres is no use in removing programs in the Rom to free RAM.

Programs only use RAM when they are running.
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
Yeah, good point :)
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
You would need some 3.party SW to do this. Atleast to my knowlege.
[HTC Wings] tesk:
Thank you Alcaline and others for bringing 6.1 to my Wings sooner!

I love this version.

The only trouble I have is keyboard related.

I'm from Norway so I want my phone Norwegianified..

Installed norwegian T9 (enabled by a .cab file I found in this tread)

Installed Scandinavian keyboard (also by executing a .cab file found here)

T9 works perfect and our weird Æ,Ø and Å letters is accessed correctly by pressing Fn+arrows

However, all the other symbols are wrongly mapped.

I always get the symbol from the relative left key.

Did I forget something?
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
Hei der, hvilke taster er det du ikke får til å fungere?

Har du endret registeret for å vise til den norske "mappingen" som jeg har inkludert i ROMen?
[HTC Wings] Fred23:
A great ROM - definitely production quality. Top work, Alcaline. I doubt HTC or O2 will do as good a job - and certainly not as quick. I've just got a couple of questions about some minor problems.

I get an error with a non-existent IE home page and the list to change it is blank. Any way to sort this? A registry hack maybe?

Are the settings to change the button mappings missing? I can't find them. Than again, I frequently can't find my keys and they turn out to be right in front of me.
[HTC Wings] Midian:
can someone please reupload the wm 6.1 image file to like megaluploads or medaifire. just something other then rapidshare. i cant download anything off off there. It says i have to wait 26 minutes but its been like the for the last 2 days :mad: ive delted my cookies, refreshed the page and done just about everything. rapidshare simply wont work.

EDIT:

never mind! i got it lol! it actually just popped up after waiting in the page for a good hour or two lol. Getting ready to flash my phone when the download is complete (8 minutes left) then about 10 for the flashing. So i will give my feedback when im done testing it.

Good job Alcaline and whoever else helped

EDIT:

well i cant install it on my t-mobile wing. I app unlocked the phone, made the backup, then tried running the exe on the phone. the phone just freezes at that point but still hasa connection to active sync. So on my 4rd attempt, i tried running the app and then quickly starting up the CustomRUU.exe file on the comp to flash it. But then the phone shut itself off.

im fallowing the instructions exactly but they dont seem to work.
[HTC Wings] Sphiro:
This ROM is NOT for T-Mobile wing but only for HTC WINGS which is a different model
[HTC Wings] Lurchy24:
Lag....

I've been using this ROM for over a month now. I love the interface but every week my phone is lagging more and more. It's gotten to the point now that I may have to hit a send or dial command three or four times before it works. Anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Wings] NeoID:
Hi, google and use "Oxios CloseApps", it's a free program that helps you to free up RAM. It's a must have :)
[HTC Wings] Lurchy24:
Thanks. Problem still exists. Even if I do a soft reset every 10 minutes.

Oh well. This phone has not lived up to its potential and I'm getting tired of it. I rarely use the qwerty keyboard so I may just sell the phone and pick up the Nokia E66 next week. I wouldn't have made it this long if Alcaline had not done such great work with the ROM. Thanks again!
[HTC Wings] mpeters:

Hi there,

Is this Norwegian version? Er denne norsk versjon?

Regards,
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
No, Norwegian language is not included
[HTC Wings] hotlips69:
Since upgrading to the fantastic "cooked" WM6.1 from here, I have found that when I send a text, it doesn't come up and tell me "message successfully sent" and make a bleeping sound or "message failed" like it used to and I can't find the option to correct this!

I sent a text to someone today but put an incorrect phone number and it appeared to go successfully until I found out much later that the person hadn't received it and I then realised what had happened.

This wouldn't have happened before 6.1 and I really need to find out this option!

This has nothing to do with asking for a delivery receipt as I know where that option is if I want it.
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
There is a place where you can "deactivate" the new message system, and go back to the old one.

But I cant remember where right now. Not sure if this gives back the successfull notification though.

Anyway, It should print an errer message asking if you want to send the message again if it fails.
[HTC Wings] hotlips69:
It doesn't. :(

Is the version of pocket IE on your cooked 6.1 the same version as the normal 6.0 that came with the phone?

Is there a seperate registry key that you know of on 6.1 that will let me open unsigned programs, i.e. IE (with a modified browser.dll) ??
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
Internet Explorer is upgraded between 6.0 and 6.1 yes.

No, I dont know of any registry edits that will let you use unsigned programs.

But why would you want to use a modified browser.dll?
[HTC Wings] hotlips69:
I'm trying to access "Vodafone live!" as mentioned in another thread on this forum which requires IE to think I'm using a Nokia phone.

I've got this modified browser.dll but as it's unsigned it won't let me run it at all.
[HTC Wings] bungle2k3:
anyone had any problem with recieveing multimedia messaging with this rom ?

have found it doesnt tell me i have a multimedia message, nor does it show it in the sms/mms inbox .. unitl that is, i go to send one myself .. suddenly a back log of mms messages appear ( all of which have expired by this time and are no longer available to download ) . Worked fine on orignal rom , I am with o2 by the way - and all my mms settings appear as they should be ?!?

3G

Hi. I´m from Sweden and upgraded to wm6.1 yesterday. Now my phone only finds GPRS connection even though the 3G signal is available and stronger. I have even tired to force the phone into using WCMDA but then it doesn't find my operator. Anyone else having the same problem?
[HTC Wings] acaciahrlm:
I am now working 7 weeks with the ROM and it works fine, the only issue i have is with streaming audio, this doesn't work. Can you please fix this in your next update. :)

Hey Dude is verry cool and works perfect but i have a problem with the wifi i connect to a network and when conecct 3 to 5 seconds later the wifi disconect you have a solution for this bug. Thank you.
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
Hi,

No, there is not.

I am not working on this project anymore, I just do not have the spear time.

Anyone else wanting to are welcome to.
[HTC Wings] NeoID:
Is your phone connected to your PC (by USB) when the connection drops? If yes it's not a bug, but ment to be (think you can change that setting in activesync).

I havn't had any drops of connection else...maybe a bad accesspoint?
[HTC Wings] RAYARTS:
Sorry to hear that Alcaline stops working on this ROM

Alcaline is not working on the ROM anymore. If I could I would take over his marvellous work. Can anybody continue to work on this ROM. Alcaline, thanks for your WM 6.1 You made a lot of people happy.

Error 294-Could not upgrade

hi, I have HTC S730, and I tried to upgrade my ROM as prescribed in this thread. However, I got error 294 (I have attached the screen shot of the error). I was using RUU_Wings_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.33.707.1_radio_sign_25.62.30.03_1.58.17.02_Ship.exe

[HTC Wings] churchwa:

[HTC Wings] millovanillo:
Hi guyz,

just a couple of stupid questions...

Has been this cooked WM6.1 rom added with other programs or it comes just as adapted WM6.1 (tweaked) for S730?

Is there any Italian language into this cooked WM6.1?

Reasons for stupid questions is that the S730 is my company phone, not personal, and i would like to upgrade it to WM6.1 but i wouldn't install sw parts i'll never use.

Probably i've missed it reading these pages but i cannot find a list of added programs into WM6.1

Does rom comes almost virgin?

Last question....what i've got to do for install WM6.1, i've understood Hard SPL, and after?

Thanks a lot for your big support.

Active-Sync/USB Problem before flashing Hard SPL

Thanks! Problem solved... See below.

Help... :confused:

I'm trying to follow the steps to flash the Hard SPL and can't get the ActiveSync to start after running the SSPL.

I've run the sspl-0.91-wings.exe from my phone's "my documents" directory and then I briefly see the loader screen and then it goes to the Red/Green/Blue screen and then says USB. After I disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, my win XP recognizes it and successfully loads the Qualcomm driver but my ACTIVESYNC does not start. If I move on to flash the Hard SPL, I get an error 264 (no connection).

I've tried many of the suggestions in this thread including reinstalling Active Sync, trying another computer, following the instructions line by line etc etc.

Any suggestions?

I'm envious that everybody else has gotten this great upgrade to work.

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: For the others who have similar nooby issues.

1. The Active Sync does not have to be connected after you reach the the red/green/blue--> USB screen.

Just plug the USB back in, check in the windows device manager that a Microsoft USB connection has been made.

Not sure if this helped but after reconnecting the USB, I also disabled the following in Active Sync, disable 'the Allow USB connections' and 'open active sync when my device connects'.

2. After that the CustomRUU installer ran fine but there was info given about my device (if this is the first time you've run this). Just hit 'update'. The Hard SPL flash takes 5 secs and then your device reboots.

3. After that I was able to install the Alkaline WM 6.1 ROM with no problems. Awesome!
[HTC Wings] Vainyards:
I did get it to work!:D

but it would be great if someone could manage to get swedish for writing sms and so on.
[HTC Wings] bnycastro:
Was having problems getting the timing just right for HARD SPL to work, finally got lucky and now running this wonderful ROM.

I am really enjoying the sliding panels I think the phone needs less apps now cause I can do most of the stuff from the Homescreen.

The last time I really used WM Standard was an Motorola MPx 220, I did own an HTC S310 but only for a week. Glad to be back to the platform with the S730 :D

I am happy with the EN xT9 but I am missing the CN pinyin/stroke input and cut/copy/paste that was included in my device. I was able to add back CHS read support back via a simple registry hack and a font file [very similar to the one I use on my HTC TyTN2].

Maybe someone who has a HKG unit can extract the cut/copy/paste and CN input and post it?
[HTC Wings] Vainyards:
how do I get the swedish T9?

And how do I get the swedish qwerty to work?
[HTC Wings] louisli:

[HTC Wings] bnycastro:
Louis

Hi I was not able to poke around my device before flashing to this version.

Can you check the About part of your T9 input? IIRC while in write mode you can press and hold * and see several options and About. This can give us a clue on what software is loaded and maybe you can search the device for it :) ?
[HTC Wings] louisli:
I got this screen:
[HTC Wings] kid1988:
HTC color scheme

I "made" a HTC color scheme for windows mobile 6.1

It's a grey scheme to match the connection manager and media player skin. All it does is change all the green stuff in WM6.1 to grey and change the background of the home screen (though I believe you must use the sliding panels home screen to make this work..)

I ripped the images and the color scheme from HTC and Microsoft, so no credits. just saving you the time to change it...

Just move all the files to [*yourphone*\Application Data\Home\] using a file explorer in Windows.

Then use your phone to select [HTC Grey] at ["Settings" -> "Home Screen" -> "Color scheme"]

Dont forget to set [Background image] to [Default]

works in landscape mode as well (background orientates as keyboard is slid out)
[HTC Wings] MNM_Kenny:
Thanks to all the people who worked on this rom!

This is just great, it's working MUCH better than before now!

Everything works good, the only thing I noticed is that you have to wait a few seconds before the (normal non qwerty) keyboard is "working" when you power on the phone and need to type in the pin code.

One other (small) cons is that the language cannot be set to dutch but I can live with the english :)

Thank you guys!!!

And also some Kudos for "the others" who provided their information to help the rest of us, for instance the foreign keyboard issues.

@ Erico75:

I had a similiar problem. You should run the tool "sspl-0.91-wings" on your cellphone again and connect it afterwards to your PC.

Then you can start the CustomRUU file located in the "flash-hardspl-wings" folder. You'll see everything will work perfectly. After that it's just a piece of cake :)

Annoying: when the battery is low, the HTC makes a sound and starts to reboot in a loop (shutdown, startup, beep, shutdown, etc). Last night I had to get up to find out that the battery was low: "what the hell is making that sound?" It came with WM6.1 update, never had it before.

Is it a bug or an option that i can turn off? I use to lock my phone, does it got anything to do with that? (found a link on internet with a shutdown bug when the device is locked)

- It's damn slow sometimes...

Apart from that I'm quite happy with the S730, but I'm not sure if I would have brought again if I had the choice...
