[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
LOL, no mate. I was/am using the 21202_P3660I_Full_IE6 rom.

It's ok ... nothing new. Like TallPete said, none of these xda roms I have tried survived more than 2 weeks so far. Almost always this is exactly how they die - they lock up either during a task or when I have them in "screen off" (actually one of them died because I let the battery run out), then try a hard reset ... stuck on initial boot screen ... give up, go to Hard SPL, flash rom again :rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining to the cookers about any of this - I went into rom flashing with my eyes wide open. I like tinkering around with my gadgets so I take the good with the bad.

The way I figure it I just need to find the right combination of ROM and what software installs and/or config changes I can get away with (and still be stable). When I finally get some spare time to do the extra reading, I hope to maybe just cook up my own rom and save all this re-installing.

It's funny actually, I can remember chatting to TallPete about this last year on the Whirlpool P3600i thread - basically I said I would wait a while longer before I started messing with my rom because I didn't want an unstable (or bricked) phone that early into owning it. However, I have now used the wm6 rom for over a year, the phone doesn't have much owing on it anymore, and frankly I was a little bored with the limitations of wm6 ... so now it is play time :D

I do need my phone for work so I still tread cautiously with when and what I flash, but so long as I keep doing PIM backup (and keep the ROM flashing packages ready to go at home and work), I am happy enough to keep playing for now.

Anyway, I only posted about the crash for feedback purposes. I will leave the windows dir unmolested this time (not counting the install of Chanvi's CHome programs launcher dll), and see if it survives any longer.

To Chanvi and the other cooks - thanks and keep up the great work providing these roms to us all!
[P3600 ROM Development] Chez-star:
I'm in the same boat, I play with the new ROM's because of the massive improvements that they offer, but I also know that I will be reflashing in about a week and a half when it locks up on me :)

It just does seem really bizarre that the 3600 regular model doesn't see the problems that we get with the 3600i's, when conceptually there is only extra memory and a faster processor to change between the two types?

What are we missing in how the ROM's are cooked that causes such instability?

I am by no means having a crack at the cook's, its more just a general question. I see it as the difference between a computer running XP with a p4 1.8 versus a p4 2.4.... Did HTC chance something in the back end that we just aren't seeing?
[P3600 ROM Development] chanvi93:
Hello all P3600I friends,

Can i have a link for your official wm6 Rom ?

Have not many time but i will make a portxip directly from this and send you by PM to test .

And the must is if someone can obtain this Chinese rom for your device in WM 6.5

Hi Chanvi,

The official HTC ROM for P3600i in Asia comes in a file called RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe

HTC don't have it as a download any more :( but I kept a copy to restore my device when necessary. If you type the name into Google it comes up with some unofficial links.

It is a shame HTC took away the official link as it was a free download.

tallPete.

i have downloaded it and flash the rom for p3600i, but not success, Error Code: 246,

how can i tune the rom to be useful for p3600i?
[P3600 ROM Development] Argyle0297:
I found the RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30 .11_108_Ship.exe here

With this rom, I tried to get in to this chinese forum ooppc.com. Appearently they charge you with this "coins" for download from their ftp site.

Update: Got the file and upload to mediafire. It's Chinese rom. http://www.mediafire.com/?cyybrq35omz

Did you hex edit the Rom? If not...go back to page 1 and read how to do it....
[P3600 ROM Development] tallPete:
What was interesting about the official HTC ROM installer .exe file I mentioned earlier is that I believe the install was for both the P3600i and the P3600 (Dopod D810 in these parts). It must have done the hex edits etc itself.
[P3600 ROM Development] chanvi93:
Excellent , this rom (official BETA) is really for your phone guys , have dump and extraxt xip , the nk.exe is new (2009) , i'm working on .

Difference btw my rom is Pagepool on 6 MB and mine 4 MB , i use realbigstorage , may be I don't support this ; how many MB free memory after flash a wm 6.5 full rom ?
[P3600 ROM Development] Andych:
Hi Chanvi

Not sure about immediately after a flash but mine only has the BT fix and it is showing 175 meg with 6 meg used for a total available of 169 (rounded to full numbers).

That is on 21198 P3600i version (nice Rom by the way).

Cheers Andy
[P3600 ROM Development] Argyle0297:
Report on the chinese QS.T_C04 21500

Storage total: 173.23Mb

In use: 4.16Mb

Free: 169.07Mb

Program total: 48.93Mb

In use: 28.41Mb

Free: 20.52

These are the values after booting into WM and stabilize (all modules loaded .... i think), because at first the values of free ram jumped around between 20 - 17 MB.

As for the dump of the XIP, I found the nk.exe, but I don't know what to do with it so I think I post it here.
[P3600 ROM Development] chanvi93:
Thanks Argyle0297 and Andych

The Chinese rom has not IE8 and widgets ; i will try to make a rom similar , you don't need realbigstorage because you have a lot of memory in phone .

Will report on it once I can flash it....stay tuned.

Damn the download is slow tonight.........waiting....waiting.
[P3600 ROM Development] Andych:
Hey Chanvi

Good work my friend.....no need to hex edit as it was fine as downloaded (I did check it).

Flashed fine but is very slow to start on first boot (all 6,5 roms seem to be).

Memeory stat immediately after flash on initial configuration are

Program Memory.....23.14 meg free

Storage Memory.....178 meg free

I have just tried to change the show sim card contacts back to the No..default setting....will see how that works......nope...looks like I need to use Niki Simfix as well as the BT fix to get Blue Tooth working.

It seems pretty fast so we will see how it works over the next week or so, but it looks good right now....

Congrats and weel done.

Andy
[P3600 ROM Development] chanvi93:
For sim card contacts , you can delete in windows/Startup : sddaemon.lnk or install NikiSimFix .

Because i test on my device not I , BT issue not existing , so use the BT fix cab .

Hopr this new xip work fine , i have transform it to not I device and it really better and fast . Finally we are lucky that a Beta official wm 6.5 is on a P3600 I , he he ....
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
thks very much, download and will try soon. great job
[P3600 ROM Development] purpleaglex:
Wooo.... 23MB free program Memory... so good.

I also want to flash it. Do u have any more information on it ? Is it only Simplified chinese ? Or i can use Traditional Chinese ?
[P3600 ROM Development] Andych:
Chanvi's Rom is WWE, there is a link further up from Argyle with the Chinese Rom if you want to try that.

I have no idea what is on it, other than it is WM6.5 Beta for P3600i
[P3600 ROM Development] joncgde2:
OK again I don't know why I take so long to update, I just do :( nah personal life takes so much time... i don't know where the ROM cookers get the time to do what they do, but we love them for it :D:P (and all i do is update a list :confused:)

anyway hooray today there are updates! although 99% of you already have these ROMs in your phones and have been using/testing them for quite a while :p so maybe not so new hehe

anyway I've added Team CV93 + Oggi's WM6.5 ROM ported from CHS OS build 21500, and I'm about to add finixnover's 3.7.1 ROM

i have a slow internet connection, so bear with me while i get these up

not really exciting news for many of you, but thought i'd do it anyway

i've also sorted out roms by WM versions if that helps

P.S. chanvi, been testing the 21500 WM6.5 ROM - nice! memory management is not so good, but first boot, and also boot from soft reset gives around 24MB free RAM for me - very nice :D

a bit slow though, not good for everyday use - but nice to test out, and to play around with :D

thanks a lot :D

also, i tried your 21139 Light ROM (WM 6.1/6.5 hybrid) and it is AMAZING - 30.20 MB RAM free on soft reset! never seen that before... although i need to try again with M2D or with HTC Home...

any chance you will cook more WM 6.1 ROMs? Or are you only doing WM 6.5 now?
[P3600 ROM Development] wensan312:

Hi, is this ROM runs also in D810?

I need a ROM which is WWE, and supported chinese character, so tat can read n write.

thanks alot.:)
[P3600 ROM Development] chanvi93:
Cook WM 6.5 Rom take all my free time , but Oggi is still working wm6.1 with build 21042 in fr , when he finish i try to translate to wwe .

Regarding WM 6.5 , i have the same discussion with BigE , you know WM 6.5 is completely different , BigE use an other interface and Igo8 and all , a wm6.5 rom can run normaly until 9 or 12 MB of ram .

I'm an intensive user and since 3 months only 1 crash when i forgot to shut down IE8 and launch Tomtom7 , hehe...

CV93 version 21500 running very well for me. I have had some issies with vehicle handsfree Bluetooth connections, but it may be 'finger problems'.

I run with MSVC, TomTom, OziExplorer, Modaco NoData.

Missing photo-contact dialling, I tried Pointui but that led to all sorts of problems. Removed it.

I then tried adding Manila 2D scheme on SPB Mobile Shell 2.15

[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Alas mine did a lock up (on 21500) yesterday morning and would not boot after having the battery pulled (tried soft-poweroff but the screen had frozen so I could not "OK" the prompt to power off when I held down the button). :(

It did successfully do a clean Hard-reset though (something previous versions had often not been able to do).

21500 is quite interesting in that it has so much free RAM after first flash (or hard reset) but once you start running it for a while it all seems to leak away and runs really low. I found I was riding the "Hibernate" prog constantly to keep it reigned in ... probably doesn't help that I have to have ActiveSync running all the time to support my work email :rolleyes:

Anyway, I am just testing out FinixNover's 3.7.2i for a few days as I am curious about whether it is just my handset or something (i.e. see if a 6.1 rom has just as short a lifespan for me). Hope 21500 stays stable for you other guys and I will go back to it next week when I have some more free time :)

EDIT: Gah! M2D lasted about 24hrs before having a fatal lockup while in mid tab-slide ... think I will give Robin's recipe of 21500 + SPB a go
[P3600 ROM Development] chanvi93:
Hello all

Thank to report , all not I users are waiting your test .

It's sure that some interfaces are not compatible with wm 6.5 . If a hard reset can to be made proprely it's well.

Have you installed BTFix cab in 1rst post ?
[P3600 ROM Development] robinbb:
All well with me either as plain interface or with SPB Mobile + Shell.

Yes, BT fix done.

Minor BT problem relates to tone and announcement from MSVC not coming through BT (just through handset) - but when the call starts BT is OK ie voice part of call though BT OK. I have seen this on the i with other earlier ROMs so I would not worry that it is just the current ROM.

I would not bother with adding SPB apart from the fact that I live with photo-dialling.

The only other thing that I find frustrating with 6.5 is the lack of flexibility with menus - the core directory is easy to fix with Explorer and Start Menu - but some of the embeded menus area are pain (ie to get rid of Voice Speed Dial references when one only wants Voice Command=MSVC).

[P3600 ROM Development] Andych:
Hi Chanvi

An update for you on the new Rom.....all seems well, no hard resets or crashes since it was flashed. It appears to be a bit heavier on battery than earlier Roms but that is manageable.

Memory seems to leak away, on a fresh boot we have 23 meg free and then it starts to drop without using the phone, it seems to stabilise around 17 megs which again is manageable but slows responses down a little. I have the BT fix loaded and also Nikisimfix. The other thing I have noticed is I have set the left soft key for Contacts and it is fine, so long as I don't turn the phone off. When it reboots it defaults back to the original setting and I need to change it again.

I guess it is a beta Rom so we hae to expect a few bugs.....overall...I am pretty happy with it, or I should say my other half is happy with it as she uses it on a daily basis.
[P3600 ROM Development] tallPete:
An update from me - its stable, I've been running for 4 days now, no hard resets. Previous version lasted only 1 day so good. Memory does slowly leak like Andych says. I managed to crash it while trying to lock my phone, I don't think this is the fault of the ROM. I've reset the soft keys too, but they stick on a power cycle. The boot screen says WM6.1!!! I'm running a WM6 theme which is interesting.. the whole phone goes back to WM6 look and feel pretty much...

I have moved to FInix3.7.2Normal as that has been OK so far
[P3600 ROM Development] BumAround:
meantime, somewhat stable...

been running for 5 days now, so far it's stable (no crash, once soft reset, fingers crossed).

but the memory leak, as well as the battery leak (yes, drains faster) DOES happen. This is as compared to Schap's 4.30 that's based on WM6. I believe this is inherent to WM6.5 (i.e. mem & batt leak), not the ROM itself...
[P3600 ROM Development] Andych:
Chanvi 21500 i

Well 10 days now and still running fine, apart from the memory leaks and battery drain. Both are manageable so all is good from this end.
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Yeah, when I finally just gave up on CHome (and M2D) it became stable enough to go the last week completely crash free. All that animated today screen scrolling (CHome and M2D) seems to be thing that kills mine most often.

I am trialing SPB shell but not much of that runs on the today screen so it is effectively dormant most of the time. For what I am using it for I think I might just put trusty old "HTC Home Plugin" on there (photo contacts, weather and app launcher).

The memory leak is the biggest problem ... I am running Hibernate every single time I finish running an app or reading messages. Once it starts it get to about 70% used (at idle), I do a soft reset to get back the leaked mem.

It does appear to freeze often when you put it into lock mode but if you just wait a second, then use the screen-off button it will indeed be on the Lock screen went you turn it back on again.

Oh and yeah, the whole "Unknown caller" ID on the lock screen thing too ... only about 5% of my call IDs are recognised by that. It is fine once you answer the call but I guess that kinda defeats the purpose a little :p
[P3600 ROM Development] tallPete:
Still goin strong, I expect the beta will probably expire before it self destructs or I remove it - very stable!

Well, my install gave up last night, it locked up and when restarted booted to a white screen. No amount of battery removal and resetting would recover it.

I've decided to go back to my HTC standard stable WM6 ROM. The only thing I will miss about the newer ROMs is threaded texting and the new font set/graphics. Is there a threaded texting that can be installed as a cab - I'd pay for third party product?

6.5 Official Release

Hi All,

This is my first post, so just want to thank everyone for their work in this community, it's an amazing resource.

I have a 3600i and am pretty keen to try out the new UI in 6.5. Given HTC never released an official 6.1, it's pretty much a done deal that they won't release 6.5.

I'm pretty risk averse though, so want to go to a fully stable, well performing ROM. From reading through, it seems like the ROM based on the BETA version isn't really there yet (the first post in this thread talks about poor performance). However the official release of 6.5 is coming up soon. So my question is, how quickly do you guys expect to see stable ROMs based on the official release here?

Secondly, is it worth me waiting or should I just go to the latest version of the beta build (after all, the feedback sounds pretty good).

Thanks.
[P3600 ROM Development] robinbb:
Interesting thoughts. I do agree that there appear to have been some stability problems, but I have a niggling feeling that they may also be linked to ROM flashing procedures. The Diamond guys are using the pre-flash cleanup procedure that I have listed below - but I have not been able to determine whether the same would apply to the P3600i. Someone else may be able to advise on this.

Another interesting point is that SPB Mobile Shell v3 is looking very promising - thus maybe we only need an updated 'raw guts' without the sexy interface.

Procedure:

1.	Remove SD card? Said to have no impact but may be safer!

2.	Bring the device to bootloader

3.	Launch ActiveSync on PC

4.	Go to connection settings and uncheck the Allow USB Connection

5.	Run mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC

6.	Press Enter key: CMD appears on screen. Type ‘task 29’ and press Enter (formats the storage and IMGFS)

8.	Flash the ROM of your choice

Voila!!! the device is back to stable condition

I have tried almost all the roms (currently trying 21501 - on day 1) and the only one that is stable (was fine for months - only flashed cause I wanted to try the later stuff) is Shaps WM6 rom.

Basically, there seems to be a "bug" for P3600i users in roms > 6.0 - it has to do with the core file system driver... basically one day the system files become corrupt. Usally within a week or two.
