First things first, you gotta unlock your phone. You can do so using cokeman's vogue unlocker found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370

1. Download the unlocker to your desktop computer

2. Connect your phone via activesync

3. Run the unlocker and follow the directions on the screen.

4. Download and extract NFSFAN's ROM

5. Open the extracted folder and locate the rom update utility.ruu

6. Make sure you have an activesync connection and execute the ruu

7. Follow the directions on your screen, and you are well on your way to enjoying the joys of the NFSFAN ROMs.

Hope this helps.

love the rom. great work! I have everything to my liking...operamini working, gps on tomtom...but one little annoying problem with youtube. The video feed is choppy. it likes skips a second --> fps?

can someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this.

How come websites that detect your phone model, can never detect my phone?

Like pandora's new app and qik.... they tell me my phone is not supported when it clearly is.

Never had this problem before this rom.

i tried to download it twice, and it says the archive is corrupted
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
Hey sorry to stomp on this thread... I'm VERY happy with the NFSFAN 1.06.1 verizon rom, going to update to 1.07 tonight...

Have a separate question that I'm hoping someone out there can answer for me. This rom automatically sets up my MDN for arcsoft for sending MMS messages... I'm building a wm6.1 apache rom for my old phone, how can I do that? The ppckitchen won't do it, is there a customization or something that I'm missing?

Thanks for the help :D

EDIT: What I mean is how can I automatically set up the MDN. (I re-read my post and realized it might sound like I'm asking how to build a rom, I'm good there)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jaytavarez91:
Would this violate your warranty?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
Yes. If there is a factory/release rom available for your phone, and you put it on before turning your phone in for warranty exchange, they don't normally say anything or notice (nor can they).

VZW still doesn't have an official rom available to go back to, so I'm just hoping my device doesn't die.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
One thing I noticed in this rom is that if you start a call at max volume, it is really loud, then if you turn it down one notch it gets really quiet, and turning it back up it stays quiet... what can I do to fix this?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rootp:
good job. Thank you so much. But how to install office mobile? where can download it?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] eric2k:
Hi, the rom COMES WITH OFFICE MOBILE.... click startmenu? Then TADA it is there.

This is a known issue, we are working on it. I don't feel like explaining.

Youtube player from HTC looks nice but sadly it does this on some of the videos that are coded weird. The only youtube players that are high quality and play normal on all are Coreplayer, vtap and milesmowbray's "youtubeplayer".

Change it yourself, search the fourms, a how to is on here somewhere.

Stop using s2u2's caller id.......
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
Eric thanks for the quick reply :) Do you know if there is a workaround for now on the volume issue, can I bypass the opal volume control (install cab/remove cab) ?

Thanks dude!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:

So do we have to apply carrier dcd's?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dangerousrun:
not sure yet , but flashing right now ill see BMS
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
No you don't apply any carrier optimizations. Leave it generic unless you want to mess stuff up. Check pg.238 for updates on the situation. The original post where you found the 6.5 ROM. :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] margosmark:
Awsome 6.5 rom, very smooth, very awsome. Great work again

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Hey,

I just flashed and checked on this and it is going directly to my storage card for the pictures automatically, so what is it your trying to do with this issue exactly?

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
On the Today plugin, with the pictures, it doesn't go to storage card. At least not for me. What I initially wanted is to make it go there by default, like I did with HTC Album.

EDIT: EVERYONE ONCE AGAIN CHECK PAGE 238 FOR MORE UPDATES
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] CyCLoBoT:
NFSFAN, I noticed on the Today window that at the bottom, Contacts is listed twice. Is it suppose to be that way? I even noticed it in your screenshots.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
OK, my pictures are all stored on the SD card and when I go up to the picture widget it shows the first pic within that folder on the SD card, no setup needed it just went there - also, how did you fix the issue with activesync failing with Outlook 2K3/2K7? Ive been fighting all day with that and it was driving me crazy

BTW, killing me you didnt make the Megan Fox background the default LOL

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
did you look at her?? she is worth contacting twice !!! LOL

OK, exhausted and getting loopy - im off to bed

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
The activesync issue with outlook was due to certificate engine being removed in earlier builds.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
HOTFIX Coming for that. A small cab :)

Check page 238!!

EDIT: Hotfix for double Contacts soft-key is found on page 238! The second soft-key will be changed to Calendar
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Make sure to disable the windows default in start>settings>today>items before applying this for it to work LOL not like me whom forgot and had to double run it

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Mentioned that on page 238 :)

Told you guys to look.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] WythDryden:
I don't know if this has been an issue for anyone else.. but it kind of seems like this new rom (The VZW 1.14) has been draining my battery pretty quickly. No programs running or anything..
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Do you have mail pushing often in the background? What do you have running on it? More details...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] WythDryden:
Mail is running in the background, and that's about it. Does that affect the battery that bad to have it check often?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
How often is email syncing? I have email set to sync every 2 hours, I have no problems with my battery life. Usually lasts me 1 1/2-2 days of normal usage.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] WythDryden:
Hm.. I just set it to check less often, hopefully that will clear it up. Thanks for the quick responses. Have enjoyed your roms loyally NFSFAN, we all appreciate the hard work you put in.

Today plugin

I'm new to 6.5...Does any one know how to turn off the turn off the today plugin in 6.5 to install the patch?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Hit Start, then tap Settings, then tap Today, tap Items tab and uncheck Windows Default. Install cab, then do the same thing to re-enable.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jacklad:
just applied the contacts patch - go to settings/today/items and deselect the "windows default" box - run the cab, then go back and check windows default - easy
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jacklad:
Hey man - kudos on this 6.5 rom - really slick, with all the things that you've gotten us used to - while I was waiting for your post, I tried a version from another site - it was cool, but yours seems more like the real deal i think - thanks again for all your hard work - now get some rest -
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] antinerd:
Thanks, that worked like a charm. This new 6.5 rom is too slick, my vogue is now the coolest looking phone on the block.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
gah, that background would get me in trouble!

I finally updated from 1.11 to 1.14 verizon, it works great!

It did send an old text to one of my friends asking if they wanted to go to sushi (midnight here), and they replied now? And another old message was re-sent: "yup!"

Let me tell ya, they were a tad confused :D

But thats all it sent, just 2 messages. Don't know why, not going to ask.

I think that 6.5 build looks awesome, but methinks I'll stick with this one for now, see how things shape up. When its ready, you can fully expect another small thank you in your paypal account :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
If you resend threaded messages it will go like that.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
I just wanted to say that I think moving back to the old CDMA dialer is a good idea. I don't see any advantage to the GSM dialer, I don't actually like the way the new dialpad works, and it causes the data activity arrows to malfunction. If you want "slide to answer" functionality, S2U2 seems great.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Boss428man:
Does call recording work on the Touch and or on the new rom?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tatnai:
I have not had any problem with the new dialer on my CDMA phone. It is prettier, works better then the PDG dialers, and has the best implementation of smart dialing in any dialer, in my opinion.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tatnai:
HTCToucher's modified theme, operator tab enabled with htchomesetting attached

Combo of the original tab icons, Dredd07 mac big icons, and HTCTouchers beautiful theme. If you overwrite your htchomesettings.xml with the one provided (rename it first) by placing it in the windows folder, you will also have the operator tab enabled. You will need to install M2D operator settings to use the tab properly.

I've tried other WM 6.5 roms and this is by far the best. This is the first I've found that was able to properly sync with my PC. I am on the Sprint network and GPS works fine without making the change to the registry.

I like the wallpaper on your screenshots. I thought it was in the ROM, but I do like the one that is in there. Thank you for sharing and providing such great ROMS.

i am hooked onto 6.5 NFSFAN - no matter what - not going back to manilla - love ur usual ROM's but i think 6.5 is awesome....

and i love my true cdma dialer - pls go back to that - with a little theme change even they can look beautifull...

BUG: When i try to quickly go down the list in my call history, after i have the phone dial software open, after the first three - the history gets gardbled... there was a fix for this someplace but i can't remember where.. i installed the cab for the contacts being displayed twice and that is working fine...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Update to V2 :)

Regarding the dialer... We will see how the poll turns out.

EDIT: Great thing is that Landscape is fully usable :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tatnai:

Exchange 2007 problems

NFSFAN,

I tried the new 1.11 sprint ROM and I am still not able to sync with exchange. The servers enforces the PIN on my phone but then the folders never sync. I am flashing the 6.5 rom now to try that. I will let you know.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kranz68osu:
Same issue in 6.5. I will try flashing back to a different ROM to make sure my phone can still sync with other ROMs. Thanks for your efforts into helping me out.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dangerousrun:
iva been playing last night and this morning with the wm6.5 and u just found out a little bug i dont kwow if it does that to anyone but when

you go in the dialer and you scroll down to all the last call that i got it comes all ****ed all black , just like if all the last name where comming right on each other.

what i did since i install the rom :

install :icontact , did a pimbackup restore ,and install NFSFAN opera

and thats it , all in all its a great beta rom
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] wamsille:
OK, I'm at work now and unable to flash the new ROM on my device. I might try to buy a compatible data cable on my lunch and try this, though. (Honestly, we are slow here because of the economy)

Now, before I go and think I 'bricked' my device again - anything I should know before I got into this? Last night I still have to use the Exit Bootloader prog to get my phone up and running. Would it be a good idea to have this handy just in case?

Secondly, and this is just a minor request, when you are posting pictures of the updated ROM could you exclude the girlie photos? I'm at work, and if I hadn't closed out the window or Ad-Blocked the images I would have been in some trouble.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] myshinynewtouch:
Looking at the way the dialer polls are going :( - Is it possible NFSFAN to just have a version of your ROM without the GSM dialer.. I can contribute a little bit just for that and maybe someone else can chip in to...

I miss some of the cool features that only a true CDMA dialer can get me and I miss seeing what state folks are calling me from or whom I am dialing.... I am a consultant and that usually helps a lot...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tatnai:
Some great diamond dialer skins are found here.

Still, no comparison to the phonecanvas status screen, to the slide to answer, or the functionality of the keyboard/smartdial screen. I used to use S2U2 for my full screen caller ID as well, however the latest release caller ID didn't agree with my phone; plus, the GSM dialer has grown on me. I'm a happy man with the GSM phonecanvas dialer.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] goldengraham:
Hey NFS,

Loaded V2 of 6.5 now. used V1 yesterday. A couple of things I've noticed so far.

1. There is no icon to setup device lock (the s2u2ish wm locking screen)

2. The first time you try to key in a phone number with compact QWERTY (or others, I'm not sure) it locks the phone, after rebooting there is no problem.

3. CompactQWERTY doesnt work at all in the weather widget.

Thats all ive found wrong so far. I have my gmail setup imap style and it works fine. texts work, haven't made any calls yet.

Awesome ROM, much faster than any other 6.5's for the Vogue, Keep up the good work.

1.30 Bell rom issues

The ROM is looking good, but I've run into some further issues (not resolved since I tried 1.28 and 1.29)

a) Logmein still doesn't work... I get a white screen after selecting a remote session in Pocket IE and that's it.

b) Free Program Memory in 1.30 is crazy low! 64mb used / 28 mb free after booting... GWES.EXE taking up 22.2MB!!!!

c) Battery usage seems to be consumed twice as fast as the OEM Bell rom... using acbbatterymeter, my average use is 112ma - 140ma with the 1.30 rom and 70ma with the OEM bell rom... same software running.

d) My softkeys still disappear at random on any program... it can be quite frustrating when some programs switch their OK and CANCEL buttons and you have to guess which is which...

I flashed from the bootloader and did a hard reset after that...

Any suggestions??
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ta-mater:
In regards to problem #1, The Lock function appears as the Left Soft-key in the Start Menu. So, if you want to lock, simply press Start and the Left Soft-key.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] goldengraham:
In the other 6.5 ROMS ive used there is a display lock option in settings that will allow the lock screen to automatically come on when the device wakes up. I know that it is the soft key in the start, but thats not exactly what i meant. hope that clarifies.

Have you tried cooking any arcsoft build into your 6.5 build? I am curious to see if it works properly...

How difficult would it be to build components like these into cab files to test with 6.5?

I did install that MMS cab i posted earlier in another 6.5 build. It installed fine, but showed the same problems we had earlier (can send, but not recieve). I am willing to be its the same issue.

SMS problem again on 6.5

The SMS problems we were having with 1.29 exist on the WM6.5 V2 ROM now...

1. when opening a newly arrived sms, the cursor focus begins on the new sms entry, not the text entry box.

2. when more than one new sms is waiting, opening the thread only clears one sms (the one cursor focus starts on). Opening the thread again and then closing it clears the remaining new sms (even if there are more than 2 new ones). Or, pressing "up" to highlight the new lines clears them as well.

(This 6.5 ROM is pretty sweet though)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] albundy9999:
I still used v1.28 and the memory usage is 50% free / 50% used. I'm still pondering if I should move up to v1.30. Did you install other programs to v1.30 that could use up so much of the memory?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] EP2008:
Just my usual... Wisbar Advance 3, Wisbar Desktop, Touchpal, AEBPlus.

I had these installed before without seeing the spike in memory use... the actual program processes don't use us much space, only the gwes.exe file.

I've just soft reset my Touch and GWEX.exe was at 2.2MB and now after a few minutes it's at 4.2MB...

Has anyone tried to install Skype v2.5 under WM6.5 ROM and does it work just as well as under WM6.1 ROM?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] albundy9999:
I don't use GWEX, so I can't say for sure what causes it. It seemed that the problem isn't associated with 1.28 / 1.29 / 1.30 as you indicated earlier.

I'm pretty happy with 1.28 right now (does have occasional random freeze and not sure what caused it). Not sure flashing to 1.30 would be any better and if it will be faster at all.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ckl_88:
I'm about to install Bell 1.30. I downloaded the acbPowermeter and I'll post back what the numbers are right after installation. Don't know what you are using to list all the running processes and their memory usage so I can't check on that.

Remote Desktop

Are any of you using the Remote Desktop Mobile program included in the ROM? I used to use pcAnywhere v.12.5 to control my home PC when I was on 1.28. However, both 1.29 and 1.30 prevent it from working. It installs just fine and runs fine the first time...then, after a soft-reset, it no longer loads and trying to reinstall gives an error like "unsuccessful install, program does not have permissions..."

I've seen another thread of people having the same problem on a Touch HD and an Omnia. So, there's probably some conflict between the newer builds of WM and pcAnywhere (1.29 build probably is based on build from HD or Omnia I guess?)

Anyway, I'd like to stick with the newer builds if I can, but I need to get Remote Desktop Mobile working then....

has anyone had success with it?

Edit: I haven't tried pcAnywhere on 6.5 yet... and haven't attempted Remote Desktop at all...only pondering
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Yep, I mentioned this... Guess no one read it :(
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] moekind:
Just to let everyone know,

The GSM dialer causes occasional lock ups causing you to miss your call.

There are some other minor issues as well.

The CDMA dialer is just the same minus features such as slide to answer-ignore and send a text, which are found in the GSM dialer.

The CDMA dialer never locks up, and is very stable.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
1. Device lock setup is done through (Start, Settings, Lock)

2. Compatibility with any other keyboards other than the in-built MS ones, is not guaranteed at this point. However I also mentioned, that with these keyboards on 6.5 you should use them at a slow rate, not super slow, but not super fast that it will cause a lock-up. I've experienced this while very quickly entering a number in txt messaging.

3. Again this is a compatibility issue, even in 6.1, in IE6, on the home page compact qwerty doesn't work.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Heresfitz:
Has anyone come up with a way to get MMS for verizon working on the 6.5 format?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
a) I don't say anywhere that I support programs outside of the ones built in the ROM lol. 95% of the work fine, a few won't because they don't support the core OS build

b) No, idea what you did to get GWES to use 22mb of memory. How many programs do you have opened up in the background; 100?

c) I get between 35-55 mA of usage when the phone is idle, so I don't know what the problem on that is, might be related to running 100 + programs in background.

d) I've never had my softkeys dissapear. Check your installed programs, I'm sure you have a conflict somewhere.

EDIT: Additionally to b). You mentioned that you use quite a few shell replacements. Have you considered removing all of them or hard-resetting. You will notice all your problems will be gone, including your battery issues. Most of these shell replacements are not as optimized as Manila2D, and are especially not optimized to run on really new os builds.

EDIT 2: Also for your battery issues, you are comparing a stock rom with nothing on it with a custom rom that is 2 years ahead of the stock ROM. I don't see how that can be considered a fair comparison. One question, did you use the exact same test routine that you ran on the OEM ROM as on my ROM? My battery usually lasts me 1 1/2 -2 days, it didn't last me any longer on the stock ROM.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Moe, you are always too sure about everything ;)

The GSM dialer is nice IMO I like it. But looking at the poll looks like GSM wins :)
