When do you hard resest, before or after you set it up, time, date, screen, etc.????
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thermus:
The 6.5 rom is amazingly fast and has a cool layout. the functionality is not as user friendly per say as manilla but with this bein incorporated into the 6.5 it's going to be amazing. I run at 40% memory right now with like 7 programs installed.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Myself, personally, I go through it all, first-run configs, auto run/customization, reboot into the OS then I hard reset and let it install again, go through it all again and then do my thing

I dont bother with setting up time or anything as it doesnt matter, just setup the touchscreen and click on skip/next on the rest all the way through until the 2nd flash

Ok I have to take my phone back to Verizon.. It seems that there is some debri or something built up behind the lens of my camera. If i do a hard reset does that take me back to Verizons rom or NFSFAN? (NFSFAN your rom is so good I haven't needed to hard reset since I've installed it) If not can I just flash back the original Verizon rom or is there something special with coKE i need to do? Your advice is appreciated!!!!

NFSFAN ur rom r the best for speed..matches ur title NeedForSpeedFAN

i think u do great job...

UR ROM'S beat all vogue roms for speed including WHOSDAMAN

but for data tethering speed using internet sharing(bluetooth)...for some reason WHOSDAMAN rom seems faster...it feels faster...

but may be u might have fixed it already with APRIL 1ST build SPRINT 1.12 because it states "Fixed BT + Data enabled simultaneously issue (along with other BT issues)"

i know u r really bz with 6.5 rom...but if u have little tiny minute...can u plz help me on that issue?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
If you hard reset it goes back to your last OS on their if it was this ROM, then a hard reset will reload it and your can reflash it to the original ROM and if they are just replacing the screen they wont notice it has been unlocked - if your sending it back for them to work on it, different story but for a screen replace they can do that in store, hell if anything like the Sprint stores here local they will be hot to see 6.5 live LOL

wow this last 6.1 build is quite responsive, 1.30 was kinda lagging and slow and had issues (had it crash on me more then stock rom lol)

but this 1.31 uses less memory (which I like!) and it is quite responsive. No crashes yet, then again I've only had it up for an hour.

D_D: asked for you cz you are really consistently helpful .. its the people like you that make this community so great!

by customization, do you mean mostly with just titanium customization, or is there more customization i dont kno about in 6.5?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mssmison:
something I've noticed since switching to your roms is that if I make a new applet it doesn't show the images properly. As an example I made a contacts applet which I can get to show with the registry entries, however when I add the contacts template and select their picture it doesn't show in the applet. As well when I create a new applet it doesn't show the collapsed applet name in the today plugin.

It has done this with the previous builds I'd tried on XDA.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Yeah, Titanium customization is what I was referring to e.g. color cabs, using the CHome Config and Titanium Customizer apps to alter the links on the Titanium Home page, adding and removing items, adding apps as well as from what I read the use of vjbsomething (cant remember the name at the moment that will allow you to alter the links on CHome to open other apps like changing WMP from opening music instead going to musicapp whatever you may want to use

But like I said several times before, it'll take you a bit more time each flash now simply because its a new OS to learn and perfect your personal configs to as well as its pre-release and more functionality will be available once final hits the streets

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Boss428man:
Unfortunately i have to send it back... So what should I do? Do I just flash the old rom and I'm done or is there more I need to do?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Honestly, I cant be sure.. Im assuming you have insurance and your sending back through the insurance right? if so, from what Ive been reading - swapping in your Vogue through insurance has been netting alot of people Diamonds as a replacement

But I would think they are changing a screen, its just going to be powered off, opened up, changed, put back together, powered up to test and sent back

I cant see why they would notice as long as an original ROM is on there at best

IMHO YMMV though

Maybe DD can add to this, and this may be what you mean about "old" ROM, but VZW released an update a while back for the ROM and the radio (3.37.78). I believe if you flash to this release, you should be good (but I've never tried to return a phone). I believe it should take away any trace of a custom ROM or another radio.

Here's the link: http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=95&cid=1&mid=302&carrier=Verizon Wireless

Good Luck,

Edit: OK, I see DD beat me to the punch! Don't know why, I'm assuming you're with VZW. If not, disregard (apologize)

If you think you need to relock it you can try this

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=29172&highlight=warranty+downgrade

I have never done it so I wont be able to help you further.

Also you can try flashing 0.40 of the unlocker (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370) as it has an unprotected bootloader and supposedly reflashing a stock rom will reinstall the original loader.

Aggain I have never done this and wont be able to offer support and as usual do at your own risk.

Good luck

First I want to THANK BIG TIME to nfsfan for his work. I have just flashed telus 1.08 and everything feels faster. The only problem (maybe i am not use to it yet) is the so called: "finger friendly menu". CE star is not able to show jap/chinese characters with this new "finger friendly menu".

Anyone know how to take out this "finger friendly menu" or change it back to the previous small menus?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
That is great news about M2D and 6.5 getting together!!

After another few days of testing I do have some another "note" to add to my last post:

1. Volume control.

No HTC volume control. It's a pain, when I want to adjust the ringer volume by the time my thumb hits it it dissapears and I have to adjust the side slider again. It is basically a two hand job. MS took a cue from HTC's enhanced menu, they should have looked at the diamond volume as well. How embarrasing that for such a thumb friendly OS you have to get out the stylus to adjust the volume accurately!!

As DD said, 6.5 is still Beta. As well I'm sure it will take alot of time for NFS to port everything that is currently available in the very sleek and optimized 6.1 ROMs. It will be there eventually.

Thanks again to NFS for all your hard work, and hey with the games menu in 6.5 I won't have to worry about changing the homesettings.xml for the operator tab!!

cheers,

Jason

P.S. If anyone (including NFSFAN!) wants the following dialer skins for the 6.5 CDMA dialer, let me know or PM me:

Using sprint 1.12. I remember seeing this posted before, but I don't recall an answer and couldn't pull it up in a search. I was hugely in favor of the GSM dialer, until I noticed that in my dialer "status" screen, the "add call" button is greyed out. I looked in the menu, and could not find a way to three-way/conference call. Has anyone figured this out, or is this a known issue with the GSM dialer port to CDMA? This was present on sprint 1.11 as well.

If this is a GSM dialer issue, I say go CDMA dialer all the way. Beauty without function is useless.

6.1 after 6.5

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with going back to 6.1 after using 6.5. The flashing works fine, and I hard reset afterwards, it runs for between a few hours up to a day before my phone either resets (like after a hard reset) or stops booting past the "HTC" screen. It seems to stay up fine on 6.5 but (as I understand) it is still beta, and I'm not too happy with the 6.5 interface (I guess I'm not a Zune Fan). So I'd like to go back to 6.1 for a while, but obivously I can't keep re-setting my phone up ever couple hours. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm on Bell by the way.

Best Regards,

Mike
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] blaudick:
I swapped back and forth a couple of days ago with no issues. As always be sure to 1) use BootLoader Mode when installing the roms and 2) let the customizations run then 3) power down the phone and restart using 4) Send/End/Power to hard reset and let the customizations run again.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
After flashing back to 6.1, did you hard reset a second time?

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jovewheat:
No data for 6.5

Problem is after flashing to 6.5 V4 I have no data connection. The carrier is sprint and while text and phone aspects work data does not. When using anything that requires a data connection the phones does the usual dial out #777 thing and acts as if it's connected but no data is transfered. I've done several hard resets with zero results. Am I missing some settings or what? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
I too am on Sprint and have not had any issues like the ones your describing..

text/phone works but IE or Opera wont go to a website? google.com, msn.com, cnn.com none of them?

Just to be clear, by hard reset you are talking about red button+green button+stylus in reset hole right? too many state they are hard resetting and actually just soft resetting (rebooting the phone - stylus in reset hole)

Have you seen a message when you first start your phone "home service only" if so have you gone into start>settings>personal>phone then 2nd tab (services) and roaming is set to "automatic" and mode of operation is set to "hybrid"

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jamil13:
The same thing happened to me the first time I flashed 6.5. I finally got fed up and went back to the factory 6.1 ROM and last night I decided to give 6.5 another a try and now data is up and running. I'm not sure if going back to the original ROM was the trick or just reflashing 6.5 did it, but it's worth a shot. I'd say try reflashing 6.5 first and if that doesn't work, do what I did. Hope that helps.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] steve98:
NFSFan this 6.5 ROM is AMAZING but there is one small bug that is a fairly major setback for me....

When the phone is locked and you receive a phone call, it displays the number calling but it cannot seem to pair that up with the entries in your contacts list and just says 'Caller Unknown'. I don't really memorise phone numbers so now I don't know who's calling me :-(

Can this be worked on or perhaps somebody knows a fix??

Cheers!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Weird,

I am running 6.5 v4 currently on Sprint and all calls that come in with the screen locked shows the name/contact image fine..

Have you installed anything else to it after flashing the ROM - IContacts, S2U2, ETC? that could be conflicting with the built in Contact/Lock apps

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SuperCM:
LiveSide.net is reporting a new version of Windows Live Mobile out, not sure if this one is already the one NFSFan is using or not.

I installed it to see what the version numbers were.

NFSFan - 10.6.0051.0900

Official - 10.6.0046.0800

So I guess the one in 6.5 V4 is newer.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] aross6:
Same thing happening to me using v3 of 6.5
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
I dont think it is, word of warning though from other users whom have downloaded and are using it - it now includes ads on your interface, so if you think you had small chat space before, ads from dell, hp, etc now fill up some more space

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] SuperCM:
Oh, I saw that in 6.5's version. Basically it is a tab on the far right and if you tap it the screen fills with the ad. Then you can tap it again and it'll go away. It only fills if you tap the tab, otherwise it just sits there. No different than having multiple tabs open while talking to multiple people.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] steve98:
Nope, have not installed anything other than facebook app and SPB GPRS Monitor. Weird.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jovewheat:
Yep no data from opera/explorer, weather widget, etc... Did two hard resets and just flashed to 6.5 again for the heck of it. No luck. The connection settings like automatic and "hybrid" were set by default. When I attempt to open a site like google.com the connection will on demand dial #777 and drop into the background like it would in 6.1, yet no connection. I'll try dropping back to 6.1 and bouncing back up to 6.5 since that seemed to do something magic for you Jamil.

Mutliple Tethering methods

Quick question regarding tethering. I've searched, but not found quite the answers I was looking for so I appologize in advance if this has already been covered elsewhere.

1. I know that NSFAN's ROM (6.1 in my case) is hacked for safe tethering. Are there any specifics out there regarding the exact registry changes made? This is just for my own personal curiosity. Seems like a useful thing to know. :)

2. I can see at least three different methods for tethering with my phone.

a) Via USB cable

b) Via Bluetooth using DUN profile

c) Via Bluetooth using PAN profile and the "Internet Sharing" app on the phone

My question are they ALL tether safe? Also to the experts out there... which method do you personally recommend. Your input/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Your on 6.5? I dont use the auto-lock feature on mine - did you setup a password during the setup just after flashing?

If you go into start>settings>lock there is the options for turning it off - but to have it autolock after a set time, you have to set a minimum of 4 digit password...

I can see if there is a reg or fix for it somewhere but Im betting its coded directly into the app or you can just uncheck the "prompt if phone unused" settings and manually lock by start>lock

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] raybond25:
if you go start>settings>lock

you can tell it to lock when idle for "x"min, it requires a password though

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
To be honest, I love S2U2 and have for some time although I havent had the need as of yet to install it on any 6.5 ROM so far...

the latest version of S2U2 I see released recently is 1.62 although there is NO mention yet of 6.5 compatibility I dont see a reason it wouldnt work except for some reports of when a call comes in the 6.5 answer screen and S2U2s answer screen both attempt to come to the top and lock each other out causing you to reset then call the person back (have only heard a few references to this but that enough LOL)

The nice thing about S2U2 is that fact that as an installed app, if it occurs you can always uninstall and go back to the built-in lock screen

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jsminnis:
I think wm should build more usability into their os, For example, they need an application that you can select from the today screen that allows you to adjust brightness, toggle bluetooth;wifi, toggle phone, toggle ring/vibrate, toggle data, ect.(i like the diamond volume on nfsfans's 6.1 rom, hopefully he can integrate it into 6.5)

Anyway, what kind of people does MS have testing their phones? Do they actually use the phone or what? Why do they expect us to go through a maze to configure our phones with the most common used features???
