Ya man. Also new 6.1 ROMs will be uploaded soon. I know I keep saying soon, but I'm making sure that this will be a much better release than the previous one.

EDIT: Also WM6.5 will be receiving an update tomorrow. It will include both M2D and the Titanium plugin, as well as a customizer for the Titanium plugin.

I did initially, now I'm just frustrated. Just got off the phone with sprint and I they were unable guide me through reprovisioning my phone because no internet profile was showing up on the phone. i.e. Start Menu > Settings > Personal> Phone > Services

And "Internet" is missing from the list. What to do next?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] leadpoizon:
ok, Bro. Did you try hard-resetting the phone once again? I'm also on Sprint, so I can help you maybe.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jamil13:
Yeah I tried the hard reset as well...to no avail. I'm actually currently reverting back to 6.1 from the factory. I'll figure I'll try it again when NFSFAN finishes tomorrows update. I need to be able to use mobile internet for business tomorrow.

can't believe my battery life on 6.5 V4 only lasted 5 hours. i remember it being mentioned in an earlier post, but i was wondering if any more ppl were having this problem...

might be related to having the data connection on all the time? ie. i think i had msn on the whole time...

I have flashed the Sprint 6.1, and I was wondering. Is it possible for you to include a separate CAB file for the MJPEG codec? I know we can use other movie players, but then the file doesn't show up in the HTC album or in M2D. Was just wondering...

Everything seems to be working awesomely. Thanks NFSFAN!

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] QkSi1ver:
Hi I'm with Bell and I havent flashed since 1.20 since it has everything I wanted... but now I think its about time to upgrade with the latest one... although i see a lot of new terminology used, iolite, rhodium, titatnium...etc i was already confused and now i'm even more confused...

the only thing i gathered was that the new OS 6.5 seems better... but the M2D is missing... now looks like the GOD has listened and will soon release a 6.5 with M2D...

Now my question, is there a reason to install old 6.1 OS v1.31 ( with the latest M2D) rather than wait for the latest 6.5 OS with M2D ? I don't like to flash too often, so I'd rather choose one and if 6.5 is the new OS that NFSFAN will base its rom on, then i might as well choose the 6.5 right?

My only requirement is to still have the M2D which Im so used to... and of course all the softwares around it work
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dangerousrun:
personnaly i had always stick to the wm6.1 build of NFS but i was so in hurry to try out the new 6.5 and i was knowing that it was only a beta but i was up

to give it a chance .

but now that NFS made it so usable and that i will come in the next update with the M2D and the titanium it effing nice !!!

you have to made clear in your head thats its still a beta and that apps will slowly move on to 6.5 but all the thing i was using work on 6.5 so for me its wonderfull !!!

BTW NFS any eta on the new update today and if you made any optimization on the os , and last can i have the picture of the girl you have in that post :P thanks l8ter

If i use 6.5 and then decide to go back to 6.1 is there any problems doing so... like back ups of emails...etc?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jsminnis:
M2D ????

I love nsfan's new 6.5. I am using V3 still, I will upgrade to V5 when it comes out. I love m2d, but I never use it because of one thing, and I want to know if there is anyone who can help me with this.

M2D's biggest fault, in my opinion, is that you can not load any today plugins with it. Now that I download 6.5 I realize that it has the same issue. So, I had to go searching for something, so I could get my weatherpanel back, (I love that program!!!

So, now I am using the 2nd today app, which I have mapped to my camera button, so I switch between the two. I hope it will work the same for m2d. The only problem is, I want too much.

I want the titanium plugin, my today plugins, and m2d all at once. I know the biggest problem is, it would most likely be a memory hog, and drain my battery very quickly, etc. etc.

Any, help or suggestions, on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

For now, you can see my setup below.

Titanium

and a "Second Today"

I know, I probably don't need all of this stuff running, but, I'm what you might call, a phone junkie!!:D

These run together, my memory load is 50%, My battery lasts just as long as it ever has.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dangerousrun:
i didnt try to go back yet but it use the same pimbackup so i dont think it should be a problem but if you want do a pimbackup with 6.1 and one with 6.5 and try to restore them lol or keep them just in case

I may have missed this in all the discussion but with 6.5 is there a way to easily switch between having the phone ring or put it just on vibrate? I use that all the time going in and out of classes and meetings and miss that easy change that is available with M2D.

Update Radio Separatly from ROM

I have been trying the NFS 6.1 and 6.5. Huge improvements over the stock VW6.1ROM.

Still having some issues with the GPS. I would like to try upgrading the Radio. Currently running 3.37.78, is upgrading to 3.42.50 worth it?

That being said, How do I just update the radio? Flash the Bell ROM, but dont let the customizations run?

Can i get a brief description of what the "radio" is?

Thanks to all for this awesome technical resource.

6900 Verizon

3.37.78

NFS 6.5 V4
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jsminnis:
I found this .cab on the net, it's by Showaco, so I take no credit.

This is what they call chrome weather.

Instructions:

Download, place in device/storage card

Disable Titanium(Windows Default) in Today settings

Install Showaco .cab

Soft reset

Re-enable Titanium, then you will see a bar on your today screen that says "Extra's" , Select it, after selecting it press your right soft key to enter location etc.

ENJOY!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
I am by no means an expert, but NFS has commented in the past (to my best recollection) that using your providers' radio is the best practice. I am VZW and am using 3.37.78, which is a VZW radio. 3.42.50 is a Bell radio. Drellisdee has uploaded files which are the radio only at ppchaven.com in his section (in Premium Content).

Do some research, but I recall you just flash the radio file as you would with a ROM, but from the SD card for drelli's files (no RUU; put .nbh file in the root of your SD card but must use SD card under a certain size; search his posts at ppchaven).

I just flashed NFS' VZW 1.15 and have no gps problems. I have changed the qpst settings to Telus settings and get locks in 15-90 seconds (inside or out) up to 8-9 sats. When I tried NFS 6.5 V3, I had the same gps performance.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thermus:
This works really good. I use it now and has tons of options.

HERE IS MY INSTRUCTIONS

Here are some screen shots of the titanium weather tab. Attached files.

1) Disable home plugin.

2) Install Showaco-Titanium-Weather-QVGA-by-Mnemonique-v2-M2D-Icons

3) Reset

4) Start>go to very bottom>add ons>weather

5) Forecast Options/Setup When all done click cancel to get to main menu

6) Choose Run full update and exit

7) Re-enable your home screen plug in and WALLA Weather tab

Redfly Mobile Viewer?

Running Bell 1.31 right now, everything seems to work great.

However, I can't seem to connect the phone to Redfly Mobile Viewer (http://www.celiocorp.com/install/#viewer), by any chance, did anyone else tried?

Not that a lot of people will find it useful, since the rom is tether hacked, personally I just want to play it safe. I am going to guess a lot of Bell users are in the same boat as me... $7 data plan, wishing to upgrade to VGA phone with keyboard but will not be able to use the $7 data plan!

I just flashed to 1.31 and used REDFLY Mobile Viewer no problems. Make sure you have the latest firmware and try disconnecting and reconnecting your phone. Make sure Activesync detects the phone first, and then launch REDFLY. That worked quite well for me. Good luck.

Hey im using the v4 6.5 rom on sprint and i can't change the backlight settings, plus can u change the keyboard so that T9 isn't the default, it always goes back to it even when i do change it. What should i do ?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] leadpoizon:
[Sprint WM6.1 1.12]

Did that, but it didn't work. Same thing... No sweat for this, bro. The thing I noticed that might matter is that the mode (ABC/T9) for the QWERTY sip doesn't remember your setting when you type in a text field. It defaults to T9, even if i set it as ABC. Heck, even this don't consider an issue, since the ROM hasn't given me any major issues yet. :D

Same issue as I mentioned. This is in WM6.1 and WM6.5
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] technote:

Go here for the Telus settings (in second post, but read first post as well):

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377&highlight=verizon+aGPS

Yes, you'll need to make the changes in qpst; I understand that qpst changes might override the registry, which may be true as NFS has left the VZW settings in the registry, but I have changed qpst to Telus and achieve strong locks, although it takes a minute or so. I have not edited the registry.

See here for Verizon aGPS fix in qpst, but again, use Telus settings:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

Heck try *22899 to update your phone, too.

You'll also need to install on your pc this driver for qpst to "see" your phone:

WM 6.5 SMS Annoyance

Hey, don't know if anybody else finds this annoying, but when you have your sms conversation window open and you recive a new sms from the person in that conversation, it doesn't mark that sms as read until you highlight it; Unlike the 6.1 rom that automatically marks it as read, which I find makes a lot more sense since the conversation window is already open and you can see the latest text message sent. Any workarounds to fix this in 6.5? Thanks, great roms by the way, both of them.

On 6.5 I can't fix it because I don't have an older dll to revert back to. It seems that all the new MS builds have this issue, including the newest 6.1 builds. However I can fix those because I have dll from older build to fall back on.

Your 6.5 ROM is the best one. Keep up the good work..:)::cool:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tatnai:
You can find official carrier ROMs that include radios. Radios, as I understand it which may not be correct, is the code that allows the phone to interact with the broadcasting/receiving elements. When flashing an off-carrier ROM, don't let customizations run. You can connect via activesync or the bootloader, and then run the romupdateutility; there are ways to flash from a storage card as well, find info on other forums.

I have sprint, I upgraded from the latest sprint to the Bell 3.42.50. There was maybe some improvement in call quality; my GPS has always worked well, I've always had seconds to a lock. There may have been an improvement in battery consumption with as well.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobzero:
Bell 1.31 working nice. I like the decision to have footprints disabled by default, it frees up a lot of ram and can always be turned back on if needed.

Noticed a little problem with T9 always turning itself on everytime I open FULL QWERTY to make a new text message. Didn't behave like this before. Anyone find this happening?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] manifest3r:
hmm...I am having an issue when trying to send a text message. I can recieve them just fine, and I just can't send them. I can also receive and make calls perfectly.

The error it gives me is "The message cannot be signed and/or encrypted."

If it helps, I have Sprint. GPS works perfectly without the cab. Radio: 3.42.30

Also when I soft reset my phone it says "Network: Home Only"
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
First it helps if you let people know if its 6.1 or 6.5 - Im assuming 6.5 as I ran into that as well and Im on Sprint also...

Just go into start>settings>personal>phone and on the services tab select ROAMING and "get settings" and make sure automatic is selected

should take care of the home setting message

As for texts Ive not had any problems, when you flashed, did you hard reset directly afterwards, if the previous doesnt fix it based on the settings being changed try hard resettings

new 3d style menus and highlight <----makes a hell of a difference!!!!

smooth kinetic scrolling (much smoother than htc touchflo and has the 'rubber band' feeling)

chome (more useful than its given credit for but NFSFAN will add manila2d anyway so you dont have to give up m2d)

improved contacts app (pics in list and spaced out)

improved file explore app (spaced out)

waaaaaaay beter start menu (no more ugly white 'all programs' page)

improved tab menus (small but nice)

microsoft marketplace app built in

weather widget app

live search widget app

new and improved Internet Explorer (flash enabled and full page rendering as well as panning support)

new slide to lock addition (hella nice)

full screen caller id / in call screen (only when locked)

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] lucy81:
the hard reset is perfect for me
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
LOL Maybe me eh ? Sounds like it was covered already and I was beat to the list...

but my only suggestion really would be to flash and try it yourself, neither I nor anyone else can really give you a good idea of what you want out of your phone but you, so take a couple minutes, flash it and try it out for 24 -48 hours (I mean after all flashing going yuck and flashing back is hardly a try LOL)

It'll take some getting used to I wont lie to you and to fully customize at this point will take some work on your part, but it'll be worth it to know for sure or to go back to 6.1 by giving it a try yourself and from what Ive seen, you tinker with your phone enough Im sure your going to like 6.5 and working to make it yours

Sorry I cant give you a yes or no directly, but like I said, only you know what you want from your phone and your time with it
