Bluetoth?!

Hi guys, I tried this ROM as well as the ND4SPD ROM, and with both I am experiencing the same problem.

I cannot receive files that are sent to me via bluetooth from different phones.

Other phones can see me, even pair with me, but as soon as they try to send me a file it says, failed, or check status of receiving device.

I can send files via bluetooth, but receiving files is the problem.

If I go back to the official t-mobile shadow rom I do not have that problem anymore, in that case bluetooth works fine.

Can someone else try this please and let me know how it works for them.
[Shadow ROM Development] N3xt2N0N3:
why is there no screen shots??
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
Is the wifi settings/mms works already? I just reading this thread and just wondering there is still some problems about it and maybe I don't know if this will call bugs, he he.
[Shadow ROM Development] drewdown227:
mms sms

THese both work perfectly i think everything that you will need works perfect and you can add cabs for anything else.
[Shadow ROM Development] tykhung:
Great ROM, it's bug free to me.

Just wonder if you could make the email function working on GPRS?

Right now, I can only send/receive email via Wifi on Shadow.

Thank for your great work :)
[Shadow ROM Development] buckbullstallion:
make sure you have your advanced email setting set to access The Internet. its in the email setup or edit after you load it in. if you want to connect through t-zones wap.voicestream.com than you will have to make sure you set up your proxys im sure there are many posts if you google or search seting up t-zones to access the internet on ppc. if you have total internet than the t-mobile data setting should be set to internet2.voicestream.com or if you have vpn than the connection setting for t-mobile data should be internet3.voicestream.com. look for the links on setting up mms / wap / internt on the tmobile shadow and voila.
[Shadow ROM Development] shadowmike:
the only problems i have with the rom is the startup and shutdown tones. They overpower the speaker and sounds horrible.
[Shadow ROM Development] shadowmike:
well because its a 6.1 rom... look at nd4spds screens or any other 6.1 rom screenshots.
[Shadow ROM Development] liljay18:
no bugs on my nutz
[Shadow ROM Development] bugmenot:
I haven't tried this ROM yet but could you add UC 2.0 (User Customization) to this ROM? (if it doesn't have it already)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366333

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366337

Unrelated, does this ROM have a New Call option (for 3way/conference calls) in the call menu during a call? The Clean Dev (at least the original clean dev, haven't tried the revision yet) doesn't have this option.

I know you can workaround this by going into Call History/Contacts option and pressing call, but when you want to dial a fresh never-dialed-before number you have to quickly make a contact for a 3way call.

Was this fixed?

Can't wait to try this ROM. he startup/shutdown sounds are replaced. I probably sound picky/overbearing sorry.
[Shadow ROM Development] W.O.P.R:
Downloaded 8/5, have not noticed any bugs on my own. I am going to go through all of the mentioned bugs and test. I've installed many new apps on top and all are working as they should

I have used the wifi off and on for the last 5 days and have yet to be able to duplicate the issues others have had. Not sure if this will help anyone, but have you gone in to Settings - Connections - WLAN Settings - Power Mode and unchecked "Auto turn off WLAN...". If this is checked, as soon as your phone goes to sleep it disconnects the wifi.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
@ shadowmike

Your right the sounds suck!

And my thoughts exactly for not having screen shots, they can viewed anywhere.

@ bugmenot

I will probably add User Customization.

Sorry I don’t know anything about the Shadows call features.
[Shadow ROM Development] DankH:
cant download it from the webpage

could you sent it to my email h.dankh@gmail.com

with many thanks:)
[Shadow ROM Development] maaziboy:
great rom

i was wondering if there is any way that myfaves can be incorporated into this rom. i use myfaves and i dont want to have to revert to original rom...
[Shadow ROM Development] cidica:
MyHTC,

dude thank you for this rom. I just installed it the other day and have been messing with it since after the 8th. Dude very nice I'm really liking it alot. very nice work man thank you so much for making one very kick ass rom :)
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
I try to install it right now but on the first process on black screen it tells "config failed (0x80070005): access is denied. Then after it continues to update process and then i agree, next next then again it says "error[270] : updated error , The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility. What I will do I also try the Sda application unlock but it tells your phoe is unlockable. Calling MyHtc.
[Shadow ROM Development] fiderius22:
hey just curious, is there a cab file for the threaded text, without updating the entire rom?
[Shadow ROM Development] shadowmike:
nope its not usable on 6.0

also how come when i clear storage and reinstall this rom i get this a text from t-mo saying thanks for upgrading my number and ive been charged 1.61 ?
[Shadow ROM Development] TopDogg:
ROM Updates

Really diggin these custom ROMs for my Shadow. i appreciate all the hard work! Updating to MyHTC's version tonight and i'll post any bugs i find. Found only a slight bug on ND4SPD's version on the unlock sticking on the home screen after unlocked. Otherwise S-O-L-I-D! Thanks guys keep em coming!
[Shadow ROM Development] TopDogg:
just updated to myhtc's rom. real nice! looks stable so far. only thing i would of liked to seen is a transparent topbar on the home screen. just makes it look cleaner. dumping the myfaves is great so i can get the clock now. oh, and one step update via the bat file is a nice touch!
[Shadow ROM Development] tissle:
Dude, are you serious?

That's weird as hell..
[Shadow ROM Development] glueall:
I love this rom. Very well put together. I haven't noticed any bugs yet, but I will keep looking and let you know if I turn any up.

If you decided to add the MyFav's back in, I would say you need to maintain a version without the MyFav's. I am using this rom because of the lack of the MyFav's features. I've noticed the MyFav's services just slow the phone down, and clog up the ram. This rom has sped up my shadow incredibly, and is maintaining lower memory usage already.

@ MyHTC

This is my first Windows Mobile based rom replacement. I was nervous about doing it, but decided to just dive in. You made the flashing process incredibly easy. After about 20 minutes, I had this rom up and running. Thanks for the great work.
[Shadow ROM Development] W.O.P.R:
You didn't by any chance sign up for T-Mo@Home service did you? I got the same txt last saturday, well after I did the ROM upgrade, but the day after I activated my @Home SIM. I ran the newest MyHTC ROM 2 nights ago and did not get another txt.
[Shadow ROM Development] tykhung:
thnx buckbullstallion. Thank for information, with your hint, I just edit my data GPRS connection configuration to "the internet", instead of WAP Network. Then everything works :). It seems Shadow auto-detect and set the high priority to wifi, then GPRS. At first, I though "the internet" means Wifi, and WAP Network used for both MMS and GPRS :)

Another nice point of myHTC's rom: adding Gmail/Yahoo mail on Shadow now easier than T-mobile ROM.

yes, please do not put MyFav back to your rom. It would be nice if your ROM is free/clean of T-mobile stuffs :)

p.s: I don't use t-mobile service :)
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Your joking right?
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
It’s good to see that for the majority of people there haven’t been any problems.

@ ronangel or anyone else having error [270] problems a search on the forum reveals Vista to be the problem.
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
But I'm using Windows XP so what could be the problem. Help plsss.
[Shadow ROM Development] Hockeyguy119:
Uhh.. Sorry, very nooby question.

Great rom, just installed from beta 4.1 or whatever on allshadow forums.

So, where is the place where you turn on wifi? On comm manager it's just bluetooth and phone. It's probably obvious I just can't find it.

EDIT: OKKK.. haha, I found it, but now it just won't turn on. I click it and it just stays x'd out. When i go to wifi settings, it says "driver not loaded".

Thanks in advance for help. Sorry for nooby question.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
After taking another look at this post it appears the problem may be security’s enabled on the phone.

The only thing I can suggest is do a hard reset and try again.

Your phone must be application unlocked before JumpSPL can run.
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
I hard reset my phone and still its the same. What will I do now and also when I hard reset there is something happens. There is connection setup pops and and it tells Static and never stop reading on it. Like the cirle when you open something. Do you know any other idea whats wrong with the unit.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I zipped two Registry editors for you to try one has an htc certificate and the other has an OEM certificate.

Just download and follow the readme file this might help you.
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
Tnx. I'll try tonight.
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
I just edited the only first values in regedit and its working, I'm now updated to 6.1. Tnx many to you MyHTC your great. Can I make a request that the xt9 default settings on sms be change to ordinary abc format or you can make a file that can change it either way if someone like the other. Tnx again.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Glad to see everything is working now.

You can change the xT9 settings to ABC by adding/editing the following registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]

"CarrierDefaultTextMode"=dword:0
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
Tnx by the way I'm having problems with the internet connections when I'm start to browse it tells ERROR The remote party has ended this connection. What could be the settings? And also is there a settings that the lock/unlock of the phone must be automatic when you slide down the phone? And the restart apps I cant find?
[Shadow ROM Development] jgu71424:
RUU

ok why does my shadow not tell me it is going to update to a 3.5?

in the READ ME it showed update to 3.5 but mines says update to 1.11,

can some one tell me if im doing something wrong.

Also does anyone know how to turn off the sound when you turn it off and on?
[Shadow ROM Development] kron2:
lol the rom is 1.11.531.5 the 3.5 is for .Net Compact Framework
[Shadow ROM Development] iomthd:
I'm having some issues with the java freezing with this one. Happens really often for me.

edit: How do I remove the windows live sliding panel?
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
What kind of java apps are you running?

For Windows Live I added a cab file to the first post.
[Shadow ROM Development] iomthd:
For me it's happening with Opera Mini
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
MyHTC are you already fix the internet issue coz I'm still having trouble with it?
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
There aren’t any internet issues you must have a setting improperly configured.

Read this post by buckbullstallion (Read Here)
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
We downloaded and ran “Opera Mini v4.1.11355” for over an hour and couldn’t get it to lockup.

What version are you running?
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
Can you help me how I can set the settings I read it but dont know how to do it. Maybe a little procedure will be most appreciated.
[Shadow ROM Development] shadowmike:
any way to skin the comm manager that you put in this rom ?
[Shadow ROM Development] banana989:
Notes & Questions

I finally got this installed. I think it should be noted somewhere that the when you use the bat file to upgrade, you should ignore some of the activesynch messages that the firmware installer gives you. For example, after the SoftSPL program ran my phone went to a gray screen. This is normal and you should just keep accepting the options in any UI until it is done. Aditionally it takes a few minutes for the phone to reinitialize after the new firmware has installed.

Now my questions - does anybody have

google's java gmail

application running properly? It crashes java every time I run it.
[Shadow ROM Development] Nite_Hawk:
This is unrelated to the above poster's problem, but when I first installed 6.1 I had an odd problem where my shadow would keep turning it's wifi connection off after a couple of seconds. Restarts didn't fix it. When I got to work and tried it there it worked fine. Now it works at home fine as well. It's not happened since then. Really bizarre.

I figure there must be some bug in the windows mobile wifi stack that caused it.

[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Sorry I can’t help you I don’t own a Shadow and im not on the T-Mobile network.

You will need to get help from someone on the forums or call T-Mobile.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
If your talking about the standard Comm Manager I haven’t done any manual skinning myself but I would assume its possible.

If your talking about the Comm Manager on the Settings Panel I doubt that one can be skinned.
[Shadow ROM Development] shadowmike:
damn... that would have been cool... I know how to do the other comm manager.
[Shadow ROM Development] ajb303:
Well done! :D I'm upset i didnt do this before i got my Dual :( I just upgraded the Shadow for kicks

8gb microsdhc

I cannot get an 8gb microsd card to work. My 1gb works just fine but 8gb is not recognized by my phone and it starts to freeze. Curious if anyone else has this issue?
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
Bro can you details the procedure how to set the GPRS/MMS manually. Or give the step how to do it, Tnx.
[Shadow ROM Development] tykhung:
wondering if any one has problem with the signal?

I'm experienced sometimes with the radio signal, the Shadow received 4-bar of signal but can't receive the call, can't make call out or surf internet via GPRS.
[Shadow ROM Development] Jamesusd_ca:
I have had a few times where I do not have a signal but I assumed it was because they are testing the network for 3G. It typically only lasts a minute or two and then it is fine and might happen once a day. I also assume that this was the reason why their is a delay with mms and sms for me. (BTW I live in San Diego) Also this did not happen when I first updated to this rom, so I highly doubt that it is the rom.
[Shadow ROM Development] XSAULX:
8gb wont work in the shadow!!

after 4gb the cards use a different format! mini sd - mini hcsd(high capacity)

i think the shadow only works up to 4 gb!

my 2gb works great!!

OH YEA AND JUST WONDERING!!

HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE THE START AND CALL SCREEN BACKGROUND???

MINE WAS SHOWING UP WHITE! EVEN AFTER I INSTALLED FRIPHONE THEME 6.1!!
[Shadow ROM Development] NickPDX:
I have the same problem. Anybody else? This was mentioned on an earlier page of this thread but I don't think I saw any response. I have now tried 3 different WM6.1 roms and none of them allow for files to be transfered to the phone via Bluetooth. It won't work transfering to the phone from another phone or a PC but I can transfer from my phone to other devices with no problems.

It would be great to have this funcionality fixed. I can't believe that Boris and I are the only ones that it is happening with.

Thanks for any help. Sorry if I missed the answer somewhere but I have truely searched for hours.

Thanks again,

Nick
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
There isn’t anything wrong with the Bluetooth you have to enable receive incoming beams.

Settings>Connections>Beam
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I will get you the Registry settings.

I don't remember them right now so I will post them later.
[Shadow ROM Development] Supertrooper:
I have seen alot of ppl using 8gb sd cards on their Shadows, hell I almost bought one myself, but purchased the 4 gb instead ( it was only like $18.00 I couldn't pass it up). Maybe it has something to do with the new rom? I don't know, just doesn't sound right.
[Shadow ROM Development] kormanb1123:
Youre not right dude.My 8GB SDHC works just fine on my Shadow. Try to format card before use it, and restart after applying into slot
[Shadow ROM Development] NickPDX:
You have gotta be kidding me. I feel like a moron. It just worked on the old 6.0 t-mobile rom and I had not even thought to look in "BEAM".

Thank you MyHTC! It works like a charm now.

Thanks again!
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Have a look here
[Shadow ROM Development] jagesso:
Does anyone use their Shadow as an MP3 player? Specifically, does anyone play DRM (protected/licensed/subscription) music with this ROM on their Shadow?

I have a subscription to Rhapsody. Prior to loading ND4SPD's 6.1, I was able to play the subscription music just fine. After ND4SPD's, Rhapsody no longer recognizes the phone as a DRM-capable device, and I have been unable to play any of the protected songs.

Other than this issue, I am extremely happy with ND4SPD's 6.1, and am only interested in switching to this one if the DRM works properly.

Thanks!
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I can pretty much guarantee this ROM will be no different I left out some DRM files "NOOB Mistake" and I no longer have access to a Shadow so I can’t test anything myself.

If you would like to try a ROM that might work PM me.
[Shadow ROM Development] tpsreportz:
Help!

I am having problems with this rom freezing up on me alot. Almost everytime i make a call it wont get off the white screen with the number and time called. It hangs up, and i can use the menus so the phone isnt completely frozen. I just cant leave that screen. I have to reset my phone. it also locks up like that during text messages sometimes as well. it wont let me leave the threaded text screen. i can navigate it and send texts i just cant leave that screen without reseting.
[Shadow ROM Development] :
This does happen to me on occasion and I think the reason may be due to the different versions of the t-mobile shadow. What I mean by that is there are two versions of the shadow. The original shadow that came out (left in picture) when it was first released and the new shadows (right in picture) that have been shipped 3-4 months after its release. There is a significant difference in the screen and the hardware processor.

The phone on the left is the original first release. (perfect screen perfect everything)

The phone on the right is the second less effecient release, in my opinion. (glary screen and so on)

The phones manufacturing company went this route to cut cost sorta like how sony went with the ps3. There were some major hardware changes and its unfortunate t-mobile played the quiet game.

My friends shadow (first release) runs better than my shadow (later release) and we both run T-Mobile Shadow WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0). I'm really ticked off with t-mobile over this situation and it has been brought up before however i cannot return my shadow as its already a few months old and i wish i had known there were two versions.

NOTE to -HTC-

Also active sync starts up by itself when i never even clicked on the program and i have to manually turn off it off in the task manager. Is that something common with most phones?

Other than that I love ur work and this is one of the best roms I've ever used on a phone.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Active Sync has done this as far back as I can remember or at least on all the devices I owned Microsoft just finely made a task manager that could see it.
[Shadow ROM Development] tpsreportz:
I have the first revision. I would be pissed as hell if they gave that crappy screen one as a replacement. I just wiped my phone and am going to see how it works again. Going to give it a week with no add ons and then add things one at a time to see what is causing it.

It may have been the weather app i put on, NRG Chome weather 3.1, anyone else have problems with it causing lock ups?
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
MyHTC Is it possible or can you make/change the configuration of lock/unlock of the phone? I think it is much better if its when you slide down(open) it is automatically unlock and when you slide up(close) it must be automatically lock, like in the default settings of wm6.
[Shadow ROM Development] iomthd:
I think I figured out why my opera kept freezing, the data connection keeps going away if I am not using it constantly. I have to go into the comm manager and turn off the phone and turn it back on to use data. Happens pretty often for me.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Resd this post by jmastera it might help you keep the WiFi from turning off. Here
[Shadow ROM Development] daddyk71377:
will the my favs still work without the app on the phone?
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
You dont need the app in the phone you can handle MyFaves online.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I have to laugh at myself and a couple other people.

I uploaded a test ROM for jagesso to try and fix the DRM issue this was not a public release I should have protected the file however I didn’t.

Now not to be an ass but if those who downloaded it have problems don’t snivel and ***** to me it wasn’t a public release.

With that said if it does work let me know. :D

I just don’t want to hear any *****ing or complaints from anyone except jagesso.
[Shadow ROM Development] :
:eek: LOL.

Oh come on.....How bad can it really be?? Psshhh!!!

DOH!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Its gotta suck for those guys at the moment. Hopefully they were able to unload the rom.
[Shadow ROM Development] antwanp:
Every time I try to install this ROM, I run into a connection error (Error 260, I think). My phone is then stuck in the rainbow bootloader screen, where I have to pull the battery to reboot the phone. Am I doing something wrong? I have the original updated ROM from T-Mobile (a replacement Shadow that came in a White Box). I'm software unlocked and everything. I even tried with the memory card pulled out, and got the same result.

Any help?

-Antwan L.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
You shouldn't see the bootloader screen you must be trying without using the Shadow Update.bat
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I have no way to test if the DRM could cause problems so I hope its all :Dgood:D and they didn't have problems with it.
[Shadow ROM Development] antwanp:
Here's what happens when i click Shadow Update.bat: It loads the software unlock and everything sucessfully. The phone then goes black with only the ring around the scroll wheel, unresponsive. It never reconnects to Active Sync. So at this point I have to pull the battery, reboot the phone, plug it back in, and then it'll connect to active sync. That's when I can continue with the upgrade (the HTC Program that pops up). When that program starts, my phone boots into a rainbow looking screen (I said bootscreen, it may not be). From here the HTC program says it has no connection (and there is indeed no Active Sync connection). I then have to reboot the phone to get it back on the phone's desktop.

What do I do?

-Antwan L.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
This Solution comes from the update utility.

ERROR [260] : CONNECTION

This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.

Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

Q: If I encounter ERROR [260] : CONNECTION, what should I do?

A: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter the same ERROR again, reset the computer PC and try again.

I will see if there is another Solution
[Shadow ROM Development] liljay18:
anyone has a fix to java thats the only problem i have
[Shadow ROM Development] jagesso:
No *****in' here! DRM works perfectly. I really appreciate your effort on this (especially considering you don't own a freakin' Shadow!).

Thanks again, this is really fantastic. Great ROM!
