[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] 350insp:
At least I have the latest Garmin xt 50020w. For now I changed the ROM pagepool to 24Mb, reflash, hard-reset, and not using Spb Pocket Plus and seems to be ok starting/exiting Garmin for about 10-15 times in last 18hrs.

The way I test is to have iContact(initially Contact), Calender, Octrotalk, Opera, PIE, poutlook, tcmd, activesync, Vistahide batt, Spb time, Spb weather, Phoneweaver, S2U2 and Google Map running in the background when starting the Garmin. By this time the phone is a bit sluggish as expected due to low program memory but Garmin starts without lockup or exiting abnormally. I'll add Skyfire later on. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] youppi:
NFSFAN, thank you so much for all the time you put in making this great rom. I flashed the Telus Rom 1.3 a few days ago and it's amazing. I'm a total noob to all this, but am learning a lot here. I'm reading as much as I can here before I start asking questions. I hope one day I can be helpful to others who are starting out here. You have made owning my Touch a heck of a lot of fun. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
It isn't exactly such a good idea to run so many programs at the same time. lol no wonder garmin locked up before.

hi i posted this before but never got a response. will any of these roms work for cricket wireless? if not are there any chances you would make one?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
Hey NFSFAN, nice work on the ROM, upgraded 1.04 to 1.07 on Sprint. Question for you.

Now on start up for 1.07 it automatically starts up Instant Messaging. When I go to menu or whatever on the bottom right, then settings, and then finally global settings. I uncheck "Start Automatically on PowerOn", hit "Back" on the bottom left (it asks if I want to save and I select Yes). Upon reset however the application still loads, by going to global settings, the check box for that setting is now back.

In the process of writing the question I found the answer. Going to Settings -> All Settings -> System -> Remove Programs allowed me to remove OZ Instant Messaging. Then in File Explorer I went to Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs and removed Instant Messaging.lnk

Still experiencing an outgoing call volume bug, I'll try to test it later. Seems to be only outgoing calls, incoming calls are full volume. A fix for the bug is to hit down on volume slider and then back up on volume slider, this usually readjusts it to the incoming call volume I usually have. Nothing major.

Minor skinning bug, but I'm pretty sure it might be the fault of the skinner. I switched to a blue skin when on 1.04. It changed the background on everything, however when I did a long press on the messaging section or the mail section, the black background would appear, kind of annoying if you are slow to swipe your message up or down. I located the image and replaced it with the background of the skin I installed and seemed to fix the problem. The file was hh_fw_focus_background.png, not sure if it is something to do with M2DC or just an image that was left out by the skinner. Anyways, there's a work around if anyone asks the same question. (Edit: that image file can be found in the root of the \Windows\ folder, forgot to mention that)

I really want to switch to a blue skin and then blue bars using the RC mod. Only problem I run into is the colors used in the start menu drop down and task list is bright green. I found the registry settings that need to be changed, however I do not know how to predict what color will come from what value, so far I have tried Hexadecimal, but I am not able to get the results I am looking for (blue highlight color instead of green). Do you know how I can better predict what color will come of a certain value, be it Binary/Decimal/Hexadecimal?

Your ROM has made owning my phone so much better, thanks for all your hard work.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thetechguru:
He specifically said this was a test after increasing the page pool. Garmin locks up in your VZW 1.09 ROM any time PIE or Contacts have been run even if all other applications have been shut down prior to starting GarminXT.

PIE also makes the phone extremely sluggish. There is, without a doubt, something wrong in this ROM that was not a problem in previous versions.

NOOB ALERT

is this rom a memory hog?

because i see that all of these apps will be installed directly to the device, correct?

just dont wanna slow my phone down before i see what it can do
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] fusion600:
Definately NOT a memory hog, in fact it is the wexact opposite. Installing this ROm will in fact speed up your phone. NFSFAN has spent a considerable time over the past year optimizing and strealining not only his rom, but windows as a whole.

Your concerns are not valid concerns with this ROM, guaranteed, money back and everything :p
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thetechguru:
I am going to be updating to 1.10 next week (unless NFSFan releases another version before I get back from a business trip). Can you point me to instructions on how to increasee the pagepool on the ROM so I can resolve this issue myself?

Thanks,

Phone as Modem

Ok i downloaded the ROM, but i have two questions

1. I JUST purchased my Sprint Touch a week ago and i need to know if there is any prep steps i need to take before installing the ROM?

2. I also see that my Touch allows me to use my Phone as Modem feature, allowing me to use my internet on my laptop for free...will i still be able to do that?

Please, any help and or answers will be greatly appreciated
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ipassgas:
If I download this ROM, will the GPS work on my telus HTC Touch? I've upgraded to w6.1 but never did that multistep thing to make the GPS work. Will this ROM make it work? If not, can someone point me to the steps I need to make it work?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
1. BEFORE flashing the ROM, read the following thread:

http://www.ppchaven.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=91&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

2. NFSFAN's ROMs are tether safe in my experience.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] yearn:
I downloaded this but havent had a chance to use it yet. So dont use it without checking with some experienced people first!! But I think it will work to change the pagepool before a flash.

Maybe NFS can offer some insight as to exactly how it works?? or wether to use it at all.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thetechguru:
Cool. Thanks!

I may give it a try on my spare XV6900 when I get home from my trip.

Alan
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
If you need to change the pagepool, run the program, and then browse for the .nbh ROM file. When you open the ROM, it will show you the current page pool, as 16. The best is to set it to 24 as some people pointed out here. The impact of this is that you will loose 8mb of storage space on the phone's memory.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
It does seem that for some reason Garmin requires a lot of mapped memory... I personally use iGo8, I like it a lot more than Garmin.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Legendary126:
so my phone as modem WILL work?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] focusedonsound:
Is there a way to disable the volume skin and just have the stock win mo volume adjustment?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thetechguru:
Thanks. I can live with losing the 8 meg if it allows this software to work.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rachbu:
I've been syncing my phone to two Windows 7 machines (x86 @work & x64 @home) since the public beta--and through four or so builds since then--without any issues. Be sure you download the correct version of Windows Mobile Device Center & the 6.1 driver updates.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rachbu:
no, not true at all. i've been happily syncing my phone with my Exchange Server (2003) since 6.5 v2.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rachbu:
go to their website and download the latest .cab. it installed fine for me. (there is one build--7097, maybe?--that for some reason didn't install successfully, but that was with 6.1 roms as well as 6.5)

Taskbar Icons

Hi there, Noob here!

I think this lastest ROM rocks, I've never experienced my Bell Vogue so stable and quick... anyways, I searched, found and installed a couple of cabs to change my taskbar icons but they don't seem to work with 6.5, do you guys/gals have any that work? if so where are they found?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] QkSi1ver:
Has anyone tried testing the speed with internet sharing tethering on a laptop... what's your speed say on speedtest.net?

I used to get 2 mb speed back with 1.20 Bell ... and i installed the new 6.5 winMo and just tried testing the internet sharing for the first time and from the same location i tested before but im getting ridiculous speed of 300 kb/s downloads... im testing in the west island of montreal... i just wanted to get an idea if anyone experienced and slow speed tethering...

thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] olibt:
I live in the west island too.... i can try... but do yo get extra charge for data when you active internet sharing???
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] QkSi1ver:
nope you're not supposed to get charged... this is a hack that NFSFAN has been using since v 1.x days... u can check your detail connections on the net to confirm... at least when i try it didnt get detected...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] fabrijack:
I posted the original vogue bootscreen a few posts back. Download it, unzip, and copy and paste in the folder you ran your upgrade from which will overwrite the original .nbh file with just a screen file. run updater again and it will install but it will also hard-reset your device. The bootscreen will stay for future upgrades unless you change radios again.

Jack
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sean.Thon:
Thanks. However if it requires a hard reset I'll just wait for the next ROM release and do it then. It's only a minor annoyance mostly because the bell screen is so ugly.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
Can't give a technical answer, it's not available, but if my PM's are correct it, the following procedure has fixed many, maybe not all, but stability has been returned for me and others, I have flashed back and forth 6.5 v1 and 2 and 131 a few times since the flash back to stock (Only did this once) and all were good and stable.

I wish to point out that I do not restore from backup (reported possible problem) anything other than what my exchange server does for me and and always reinstall the few aps I use after every flash. Also I do not save attachments from Outlook to Sd card (reported possible problem)

So to sum up, to fix, I flashed latest stock, let customizations run, flashed NFSFAN, let customizations run, ( I seldom go directly from Bootloader, I let active sync load it, not recommended) I let exchange restore my contacts and appointments, reinstalled my contact manager, intelligolf, etc, now everything is stable as a rock for quite some time now.

I wish you the best, and hope stability returns for you 2.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
Am I missing something, I only see the bell screen after a rare not even weekly soft reset.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Raiden38:
NFSFAN confirmed it was working for Bell, a few pages ago. I tried it once and did not get detected... But I have only tried for a few seconds ;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Raiden38:
I already requested to NFSFAN to update that screen with the new bell logo, but it's so a minor detail that it's not worth it... And I fully understand that!

Maybe some day...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spalla:
Anyone know of a good autolock program which won't mess up my phone?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sean.Thon:
No, this was a result of updating the radio by flashing the OEM Bell ROM. NFSFAN's ROM's shouldn't change your carrier flash screen, afaik that is a result of a ROM including radio... correct me if I'm wrong...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Nope, spot on correct there

Can someone msg me USCC settings for MMS & Is there a better Radio ROM than 3.12.30
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] raybond25:
i use devicelock, i'll attach the cab for you.

after you install just go into start>settings>system and there will be a devicelock option under there for you to set it up
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] olografix:
So it looks like it will be May 11th for the 6.5 official release. Can't wait to see if we get any goodies.

Should make for a more stable platform for people running different carriers than Bell.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
I read this the other day as well...

The thing to remember is

1 - WinMO 6.5 is NOT for the HTC Vogue

2 - Dont expect to see an upgrade packaged up from our carriers for a phone that is no longer in production

3 - Even with the 11th comes, we are still going to have to wait until someone gets a hold a newer phone with the WinMO 6.5 OS on it and rips it from the device

4 - Depending on the changes to the Sys/Xip and core files, it will still take a bit of time after the OS hits the net for Chefs to get it into the kitchens

5 - Based on #4, compatibility of current and newly created apps for WinMO 6.5

Just a bit O' reality check for people marking calendars for the 11th but still positive news regardless

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] aristottle:
I have installed 6.5 R2, and it seems to be working well.....I selected "touch flo" and it is working well most of the time....but there seems to be an issue with text messages coming in?

Are many users using 6.5, but opting for the "touch flo" interface?

BTW, I like the look of 6.5 but wish it had shortcuts for phone dialing like mazilla does....those shortcuts come in VERY handy when you are in a rush.

Verizon Users Hard Reset Issue

OK, the popular opinion is to reflash the stock rom. I am on VZW and never have the MR2 rom, so didn't have the GPS issues.

Everything I have heard is that reflashing the stock rom will brick your device. Again I am on Verizon. Has anyone reflashed to stock? If so, please please give detailed instructions. Or, is there a link closer to a verizon users scenario.

I remember when I had a titan that I had to flash a Sprint ROM but NOT let customs rum. Is that a possibility as well? Please help me. I absolutely was in love with 6.5 and am so bummed that I have random hard resets about 4 times a day.

I flashed to NFSFAN Verizon 1.13 for now. Just did it this morning and waiting to see if the problem persists. I really want to go back to 6.5 so please help if any Verizon users have had success flashing stock and them back to 6.5.

I am on radio 3.42.50 if that helps.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kilroy1stcav:
I flashed back to stock and then followed this wiki: http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS . I am a Whore-izon user and am running gps with the Telus agps settings in the rom and through qpst and all is great. Just make sure to read all the way through the wiki before starting, it has all the links of everything needed.

i want to do the agps from this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix but the links inside are not working. i need the qpst2.7, wmodem drivers, and serf telus agps provisioning cab.

thanks in advance
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] smo1a:
So I guess you flashed back to the MR2 stock? I am on SPL 2.31. Do I need to revert to a different SPL or can I use the same SPL I already have? Also, Will this change my radio or does it stay the same?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] smo1a:
So based on these instructions, do you let Verizon customizations run??

Is the stock ROM the one referenced in step4?

[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke

[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN

[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke

[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN

[5] Flash any custom rom

[6] Do the agps fix on xda (if you want the stock rom do this before step 5)

EDIT:

Update....I just used SPL 2.31 and flashed to Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77, and did NOT let customizations run. Flashed back to V6R2 and did the aGPS fix. All is working right now for last 4 hours and no hard resets yet. Hopefully my baby is cured :-)

i nkow this is kind of completely unrelated.. but has anyone seen the palm pre.. hold SH** its beautiful

the UI is simply amazing.. fluid, looks great in high resolution, really takes advantage of the screen with all apps being fullscreen no ugly taskbars etc

man.. i think i might just ditch winmo and go for that.. winmo7 isnt for another year and who knows if thatll even bring a UI that competes with the fluidity of this device?

anyway, just thot id run that by you guys since its kind of a similar device in terms of size, but simply amazing :D

it even has a wireless charger ;)

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
SWEET!! thanks HTCToucher - Ill read it through and see what can be done with it ..

Oh and as for the Pre - nice phone, real nice design and thought put into it, but with the recent talk of the troubles Palm has been in financially, i dont know... plus the "puck" as its being referred to is fantastic, but 79$US worth of fantastic for a touch charger unit, Im not to sure on it either...

Just my opinions of course... and yes, there is already some ROM work on them as well so you will still be able to maintain your flashing addictions going, and Im not talking about the one with you at the city parks on sundays LOL

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
omg dont leave us for the pre :( or any phone lol

me want your skinnnnsss XD

edit btwn.. how long until its sunday? its 1 am here.. *sunday*
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
hahah hey what i do on my free time is my business!

yeah the only thing i like about the wireless charger is it comes with a replacement case for the pre with a matte finish that makes it like the htc touch :D so itll be an easy transition

its just so smooth, and the UI looks fantastic, quite a powerhouse in terms of usage i cant see much that it lacks when compared to winmo in terms of functionality but ill have to try it first most likely

i can always come back to winmo in a year when 7 hopefully comes out

oh by the way where would i find custom stuff for palm just so i can take a look.. i searched google pretty unsuccessfully

haha well its between pre and diamond2.. i dont even know if diamond2 will come to cdma but ill have to try the pre before i decide

who knows maybe ill start making some money and then get a pre and then a diamond2 at the end of the year ;) but thats hopefull

oh and its 11 here
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
get the diamond2 so you can help me costuomize mine :D am getting it if sprint ever gets it..

i dont like the pre :( its fugly..i think .. WM FOREVER lol :P

also are you gonna skin tomorrow the 6.5 the neew release? :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
LOL Diamond 2, couldnt do it, would have to go with the Touch Pro 2 if I cant have the Touch HD LOL

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
well i dont think there will be much difference in this release in terms of new stuff to skin

im thinkin of doing away with the microsoft retouched.. already bored with it.. its too generic :D

thinkin of copying palm's pre UI.. its so simple and slick.. nice use of the small screen

(check these shots out: http://www.engadget.com/photos/palm-pre-official-ui-shots-1/1290340/)

liek this for pcmc for example:

i just wish some apps were made for winmo with this level of fluidity and grace! yeah weve got some nice apps.. but just look at those screenshots, watch some videos of the apps running on that device.. unparalleled by anything on winmo ive seen - which brought out how fed up i am with microsoft's neglect -.. not only in taking full advantage of the small screen with no taskbars etc but slick transitions, smooth scrolling, animated presses (you press a button and a ripple effect occurs near/around the button etc) pcm is the closest for winmo ive seen, but thats only really contacts :( wish i could donate 100000000 dollars to tene to do a workover of winmo haha

we will see.. i dont have time for the next 3 weeks.. and i dont know how much i will be able to do this summer gotta take classes and work.. aand have a summer :D

but faking myself out into believing im running a new OS will save me some money so i wont have to buy the pre.. however its gonna be impossible to skin winmo over to a full representation of the palm pre os.. cuz no apps i know of support any kind of skinning that is necessary to replicate it except for pcmc.. but after all i think the palm pre 2 will be much more worth it

oh and in terms of devices..

i just plain dont like physical keyboards.. prefer slim devices (ie diamond2 over tpro2 :D.. HD i would love.. but diamond2 is like an upgrade.. but with a smaller screen?? wtf?? i dont get it!..)
