I wish to also point out that I do not backup and restore anything with the exception of my exchange contacts and calendar handled through my exchange server, everything goes, and everything is only and always reinstalled. Fresh start everytime from rom to rom.

Hope it all works out for you.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] grabaclue:
I'm willing to go back to stock -- temporarily -- if it resolves the problem. How do you go about pushing the new PRL?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Basically IF you need it 60652 is latest - start>settings>device info and there you will see your PRL listed if your on Sprint and its 60652 you are up to date

Flahs back to Sprint stock ROM

if not then call *2 on your phone, talk to customer service and let them know you need a PRL update

They will flag your phone for it, hang up and wait a 2 minutes (they say 30 seconds) call *2 again and you will either get a verbal message or see a message on your dialer stating programming in progress - wait...

when done, turn off phone, pull battery, wait 2 minutes, put in battery and turn on phone and you should be updated

your milage may vary if you need it at all, had to go back to 6.1 as 6.5 was giving me fits but will be flashing 6.5 again here shortly

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rolandroland:
I would try this but the reason I care is the Verizon stock w/customizations will screw with my GPS which works on his 6.1 roms but not 6.5v6. However this is the first 6.5 of his I tired so maybe I can get GPS working with an older version.

I am very familiar with all the GPS changes that need to be made and running off the Telus IP and port # and worked fine on 6.1.

As a VZW user I just can't get gps to work. I'll hold out hope someone else figures it out. There's only so many times a day I can flash my phone since I rely on it for work otherwise I would try and contribute some more testing.

Thanks for the great rom, I'm sure all this stuff will be worked out soon enough.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
alright ill give reflashing stock a go

i just wanted to wait to see that it wasnt just a coincidence for you

glad its worked out and if it does work across the board maybe NFSFAN should post this on 238
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
Sorry, I did not realize USAers could not just download the stock rom and install, seems like alot of hoops to jump.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
would it be possible to change the dialer.. i know its been talked about but the one in 6.5 rom is not as finger friendly as, ssay, the opal phone canvas

im mainly talking about the in call, the end button etc is just another button off to the side

does the opal phone canvas not work with 6.5?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
Savage.....
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] chunnell:
I'm also on Verizon and have tried everything possible, but can't get GPS to work with 6.5. Glad to see I'm not alone in this.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rolandroland:
Well Verizon in particular is a real pain in the @ss.

I gave up trying to get the GPS to work on the touch a couple weeks back, but i gotta say it aint the same without it...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kilroy1stcav:
I lost my GPS back when Verizon locked everything down, but a friend did not and I always flash his at the same time I flash mine, which made know since to me, so I was searching around and found this WIKI:

http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS

I followed it and guess what I have GPS again, I have had it up and running on Telus for quite a while now, but it had something to do with flashing it back to a non-GPS radio and then bring it back from there. Give it a try and it might help you. I hope it helps you like it helped me.:)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] wdbanks:
Yes you can just add the cab. Make sure you use a good task manager to close the cprog.exe process before you do and soft reset.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kilroy1stcav:
You do not have to let customizations run when flashing this ROM, I have had to do it and all is well with my TOUCH. But I would try this WIKI I have done it and my GPS works great. http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
I am on Sprint and for a while could not get GPS to work on v6. It worked on previous versions. I used the GPS registry fix .cab that was provided by NFSFAN, but it didn't work. As a last resort I tried DCD's carrier cab, and after a soft reset it works.

BTW I just ran the PRL update in 6.5 v6. No need to flash back to stock for that one.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
alright.. so i did the flash of stock the flash of nfsfan 6.5 v6

now i have no data connection.. WTF!

anyone know how to get it working again without reflashing??

man this is so frustrating

it says it connecting to data but i get no internet connection, cant do the first update to setup titanium weahter and cannot connect to windows live to set that up..
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] the-wrangler:
well...been running v6, im having the laggy problems with the messaging but outside of that this version really rocks. now the messaging is pretty buggered tho, sometimes i get the header 'messaging' and the bar at the bottom with 'reply' etc but empty middle screen, i also get a serious delay when closing the text message page, sumtimes a full few minutes. it is almost at the point of unusable....almost lol. i know its a work in progress, and the rest of this rom is blisteringly fast and the new interface is a nice change..anyhow just thought id toss in my two cents...cheers
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Do you have DCD's carrier cab? That's what got mine working.

Ditto. That's how I got my Sprint Touch working with data again. Here's the link
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
thanks guys much appreciated

weird that flashing back to stock and then to nfsfan would screw up my data

what exactly is this cab? its 2mb so its not just registry entreies

again thanks!

htctoucher :D

oh and everyone

i found setting touchresponse to 24 for down and 18 for up makes the vibration just feel more solid.. at least to me :D

try it out see if you like it ;)

Thanks for the new Verizon version!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Just a thought... Have you unlocked the phone?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Yes, you pointed this out to me before and I don't know how to fix it, as I don't use VPN. Have you tried this on the stock rom? Try flashing 1.26 it may fix it. Did you have this problem in 1.24 or previous ROMs?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] MrFouZ:
I'm a new NFSFAN user. So, version 1.25 is the first version I installed. I will try to install the 1.26 version today. On the Bell stock version, everything is working as expected.

Is there a way to log what is going on on the phone while he's IDLE? If he detect the push on the power on button?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeffputts:
Yes phone has been unlocked w/ imacoke 2.31 and has been flashed with several other roms no problem
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] philf:

Hi,thanks for this rom it's awesome, I installed 1.25 yesterday, and 1.26 this morning, finally figured out how to get my email running and where the internet tab was....only thing I found and don't know how to go back to what it was... when I press the window logo (for settings etc) it used to have a very neat display, it's gone back to the stock display, bigger, no lines between the options...not sure how to describe this better...

cheers

thanks for the help

I am interested in testing your Alltel ROM. As i mentioned before in a previous post, i have an Arcsoft MMS OEM that you could use in your ROM that has been tweaked. If you need it let me know.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] CricketManX:
i just bought one of these phones on ebay and i've been shopping around for the best rom. my friend told me to go to ppchaven to get your rom and that it was the best he ever used but when i went there i couldnt find you so the admin, harvey something, told me that you were here and that you weren't welcome there anymore? oh well because i found you here.

will any of your roms work for cricket?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] JT.:
First off thanks for the Rom. Been using it for a month or 2 and I really like it. I have one problem and search gave me nothing.

Since I installed the rom I can not dial internationally. I have international calling on my plan and it worked before. It just gets to the dialing portion then after a min or 2 it hangs up.

I'm using sprint.

Sorry... I had to remove my post about 1.26 fixing the vpn problem... the phone froze when the vpn was open by the active sync on my exchange server.

nice ROM NFS. quick and works. did you leave out a screen locker? I can't find DeviceLock.exe (default locker), but KeyLock.exe is there (which just adjusts the settings).

Nop, there is the original Locker in settings. Its always been there.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:

They sure do. I will post the OEM later tonight.

Jeff, could you verify that you are on the latest radio (from the BELL rom)? I'm not sure if that would affect flashing, but its at least what I'd try next :D

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] 350insp:
I also have issue with latest Garmin XT on Sprint 1.06/1.07 ROMs. It would load after rebooting but after opening/using PIE once, Garmin won't load or freeze. So my solution is not to use PIE which I don't like anyway.

This is after several trials with pagepool size, installing/uninstalling programs (spb plus, spb weather, spb time, tomtom 6.x, Opera, Octrotalk, TCPMP, Phoneweaver, S2U2, Pandora, Skyfire, etc.), Garmin GPS port setting, disabling A-GPS, etc.....

I'll update if PIE is not causing this issue but Garmin has be running on/off for several time for 2 days now without any hangs.

(update)

Sorry, I spoke too soon, I'm still facing issue with Garmin. Garmin will only run after a reboot. Other than that the ROM is great. Thanks NFSFAN.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Solidus_k:
Does anyone has a strange battery behaivor for example when I use the evdo like the opera or IE the battery goes down like 25 or 30% fast and then I turn off and then on (not softreset) and goes to its normal state like - 5%.

Or its just me.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
Apparently, it's anything and everything that is unique to that carrier, but you're right--I'm not sure what all that is either. Maybe DD or NFS knows ;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
Everyone using the stock 6.5 lock app (which is quite nice, IMHO):

Here is a link to an app that will let your device lock after putting the phone in standby and make it pretty much behave just like S2U2 in terms of use.

Battery drain with M2D on 6.5

Anyone noticed battery drain with M2D and Win 6.5 V6?

My battery lost 42% charge in mere 1 hour this morning and even battery with cover was warm.:(

Things seem ok with Titanium but battery perf is not at par.

Any ideas/thoughts?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
No, but it's just an executable, so I'm guessing you could just copy it into Windows/Start Up.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Basically the carrier CAB if you extract it and read through the XML file are all the provisioning files/settings, drivers and location/reg settings, IOTA, Network, Proxy settings as well as programs all the phone codes and a variety of other things

Basically, think of it as the key to the kingdom of Sprint - without it your like the black night, tis just a flesh wound right?

I thought about going back to 6.1, but now that I have Internet Sharing working so well, I might be able to disconnect my home cable and that's worth a lot. I hear that Internet Sharing has a lot of problems normally.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Most of the time I see this with excessive data/network usage e.g. GPS, Mail (yahoo, GMail, Hotmail, etc) set to sync with the internet sites at 20 minutes or less,

This also can be from having lots of apps in the background running without realizing it

Just an idea

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] avalanchedude:
Just wanted to say I have been running the 6.5 roms since NFS started to release them and havn't had many issues.. The version 6 seems to be the most stable yet... It seems from reading the post's that most of the problems come after peeps have loaded other software..I only load tom tom after a flash to test GPS, earlier versions (3, 4, 5) had some freezes but 6 has been rock solid Probably not a good idea to load up on software as WM 6.5 is hardly a finished product.. I haven't had 1 random soft or hard reset since running the 6.5 roms..Just a few freezes AFTER TT install on the earlier version's Which after a soft reset seemed to go away ... I only back up contacts and apointments..and alway's hard reset after cutomizations run... Been on ver 6 since yesterday morning and it's quick and smooth.. I text, i surf, I check mail and use GPS... Battery Life seemed better today than yesterday and I use the phone a ton and I'm inside a factory(no windows) so I can't say weather it is better or worse than the 6.1 roms.. Tomorrow I will add 1 software programe and see how it goes.. My theory is you will never find the problems if you just add a whole bunch of new programmes as soon as you flash .. Great Job NFS I have been using your roms since the day i got my touch 17 months ago and they have never failed me.. I'm on Bell so i don't know if that has anything to do with it or not ..
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] benshtc:
Great ROM as I posted earlier, after all it's only the second custom ROM I've ever used. I too, however, experience a lag when exiting out of some programs but I guess it is expected being a beta and all. I've found that if you just turn the back light off using the power button it seems to get everything clear and operating properly oppossed to soft resetting the device. The only nags I have is that the media player is verrry slow when on random (that's the only way I use it though), but I do have a fully loaded 16gb card and I also really miss how when in the contact field on stock 6.1 you could tap on the menu under a persons name and select drive to and it would pull the address into sprint nav. I did load a sprint nav cab but it didn't allow this field. Also under call history when you select the previous caller it would open up their contact page when you tapped on it allowing you try to reach them from their other contact choices. Other than that its awesome especially how you can easily change back to touchFlo for fun, thanks Jacklad for pointing that out.

P.S. I found the sprint vougue cab posted by Detroit_Doug thanks a lot!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] chunnell:
Yeah, I've tried that, but there is some small difference between that and another post at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377&highlight=Wmodemdriverinstaller.exe. Firstly, should I install the GC Verizon aGPS.cab as it mentions or install the NSFAN GPS cab or both, if both, then what order and process? Secondly, one post says to set the Position Calculations settings as PDE and another as Mobile. Thirdly, after installing the NSFAN GPS cab do I soft reset or do a normal on and off by holding the power button in and clicking ok (does that make a difference, the smallest details seems to matter here)? Finally, I'ver heard of several settings for Server IP and Port in SUPL_AGPS, what did you use?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kilroy1stcav:
I used the link I posted, I can not speak for the second. And as far as the CAB I used NFSFan's Cab, but I edited it to use the Telus IP and Port. the settings I used are these 216.198.139.92 port 8889, IP, PDE. I believe the normal power off and on is the same as a soft reset, but I normally use the reset button, just quicker in my opinion. I hope this helps if not let me know and I can try to help you further.

i think bluetooth has something to do with it

or the fact that ive almost been using it nonstop :D

oh and in terms of the autolock thing just mentioned.. wasnt nfsfan talking about putting that in v5 but then didnt because it "wouldnt autolock on softreset" or something?

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] sshark:
No, I had no apps running in background or virtually no internet usage (weather/mail etc etc.) My own cook on 21198 sys was giving my ok battery life, so I am just thinking whether I should stay all the time on Titanium with all NFSFAN's goodies before calling it.

6.5 v6

I tried 6.5 V6 and I found a little bug with the email software.

Couple minutes after setting up my 2 imap accounts, one of them stopped working and took the config of the first one. I deleted both and I added them back but the same thing happened.

Volume was GREAT in 6.5 V6 can you put the same volume settings in the next 1.32 ?

Btw 1.31 is GREAT :D

Toucher,

I think the cutoff issue is based on the width co-ordinated given in the CPL

Currently is...

<GridView ID="Start Menu Items List" Top="0" Left="-10" Width="240" Height="268" Columns="4" Scrollable="TRUE" HexagonGrid="TRUE" HorizontalWrapAround="TRUE">

Should be ...

<GridView ID="Start Menu Items List" Top="0" Left="-10" Width="210" Height="268" Columns="4" Scrollable="TRUE" HexagonGrid="TRUE" HorizontalWrapAround="TRUE">

As you can see the Height is reduced to 268 from the screen size 320 - this is due to the existence of both the top and bottom bars reducing available workspace, so that being the case the width should also be reduced but not as much (I guestimated the number) and HorizontalWrapAround may need to be set to False as you dont want it wrapping per se'

If you get a chance give it a try, I am hitting the sack early tonight or I would test a few items

IE single colume view

I was wondering what happened to the single colum view in IE, is it gone in this version, or a bug in this build . When I use mobile view versus desktop it doesn't change anything. I wanted to see if it was just this build of the rom or is it just the way it is in the new version of IE ?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
Just came to report that everything is running very smoothly now, better then it ever has on WM 6.5. It's crazy how such a little thing can have that much of an impact. I've had absolutely no issues, messages restored fine, threading went fine. I haven't noticed a single slow down.

For people on other carries replace *2 and Sprint CS in my post with your appropriate carrier equivalents, it may work.

got a bug here!

when i get a call and the device is locked, works fine, i slide to answer, select unlock and unlock the phone and am taken to the dialer

call goes great, end it, then .. blankness

all that is visible is the top bar with evdo icon, signal icon, volume icon and the time and the wallpaper

no lock screen, no softkeys, no home plugin, none of the buttons work except for the power button

any ideas on this?

really weird.. softreset is the only possible fix i see.. but kind of inconvenient after each call ;)

on another note, has anyone else realized that settings lock with a numlock to "0 minute" interval pretty much acts like only locking on standby?

try it out ;)

reflashing stock and then v6 worked for me as well. (with bell)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] shrinex:
Ok, i know this thread addressed this issue, but i'm not to sure if there was a fix

i installed 6.5v6 and my phone will randomly do a master reset after i do a soft reset-happened with v5 as well...

i read up on here that there was a small workaround that worked with someone, being that hey flashed a 6.1 rom (not sure if it was stock or not) then reflashed it with the latest 6.5 rom from the great nfsfan. tried that and no go

so now i'm at v4 cause that gives me no issue, has this been addressed and if so was there a real fix for it?

if not, no worries, v4 runs great and i'll try out v6 during one of my days off from work and see if i can get that bad boy to run :D
