Can we please start a new thread--perhaps a dedicated NFSFAN 6.5 V6RC2 (and later) release thread?

Anyways, interesting experience with V6 RC2... after about 1 day of use, I lost most of the "touch-friendliness" of the ROM. For example, in messaging, the texts were closer together than ever before. They lost that "bubbily" feel.

Secondly, the start menu started having insane re-draw problems. No matter what I did, if I tried scrolling the programs, it would overdraw previously, without refreshing the screen--making it totally unusable.

I am using the same exact programs that I install on every ROM I use, same settings, etc, (all done manually.) No restoring, except for PIM data. WHICH, btw, somehow got scrambled upon this last restore... pictures are on the wrong contacts, and job titles are on the wrong people... I'm pretty freaked out--and I will have to copare to multiple backups to see what is the right information.

Is it bad that I can hard-reset as I get in my car, and by the end of a 30 minute drive, I'm done customizing my phone? We're talking 15 programs installed... setting up IM, push email for gmail/yahoo, configuring remoteAmp, sprintnav, ringtones, phoneweaver, galarm... everything... all by the time I get there...

man, I really want a stable OS :( WM is fun as hell to tinker with, but when the workweek rolls around, I need something that won't start scrambling my contacts, or hard-resetting, etc... ;) So far, no build of WM I have ever used is that stable... something always happens. WM standard is the only one I would trust.

Problem with Mpeg 4 video capture

hey NFSFAN, i upgraded to the v6R2 rom and finally got the GPS to work! Thanks for the great rom. One problem, My mpeg 4 capture doesnt work, i have to use motion jpeg? any fix for this?

Can someone confirm that Internet Sharing on WM6.5 works for BELL? Meaning that you can actually connect your laptop to your vogue and use your existing unlimited plan (no data plan)?

Anyone...?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Yes, it works just fine.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] leadpoizon:
Yeah, I realized that the MPEG4 video recording doesn't work on the WM6.1 either, but I'm puuurfectly fine with it, because I think he took it out to add the Motion JPEG encoding in. The MPEG4 recording really sucks: It's slow, jittery, and the resolution is too small. If you make it larger, device is not able to record at a high framerate. Motion JPEG solves this problem, because it doesn't compress the video. Sure, it takes a lot of space, but the video is excellent quality and in CIF. :D

Thanks for that, once again, NFAFAN!

I'm running the vzw 1.15 rom and can't seem to manually add words to my T9 dictionary. Past versions had a little "+" when i had the keyboard open. I also used to have a program called eT9MyWords that is no longer on my system. Is there anybody with an answer or suggestion as to how i can fix this?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] QkSi1ver:
Finally took the plunge on WM6.5 from 1.20 ... slowly getting used to the new interface... i find it hard to finger flick to the bottom links... most of the time i end up selecting a link instead of flicking it...

so i put back the M2D!

Everything is fine so far except the Bluetooth Icon does not appear when connected... i think someone else mentioned this but not sure if a fix was found.

The Video Mpeg, for those who couldnt get it to capture, you just had to remove the SD card and put it back in after a soft reset... ( thanks to the original poster from the same thread)

HELP!

I upgraded to V6 R2 today. All of a sudden, I can't install anything. I tried reflashing back to the first release, but I still have the same problem. Hard resetting doesn't help either. Thanks in advance.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
What happens, does it stop, freeze, tell you to get lost, vibrate out of your hands, what? Does everything else work.?

Is it an SD card problem ?, maybe a little more descriptive and I'm sure someone will help.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaOnlyRecless:
Hi NFSFAN,

I stated to post yesterday on my hard-reset issues with V6_R1, until i saw you had released an R2. Although the fix may have worked for some, i am here to report that i am still experiencing the same issues.

Notably:

1) cHome/Titanium and start menu lag horribly and leave visual effects of their scrolling. Also, changing themes causes this sometimes.

2) The OS will freeze, requiring a soft-reset, that actually hard resets the device.

3) On hard reset, device will hang on either of the htc bootsplashes (the one after the rom/radio info and the animated one), thus requiring further "hard" soft-resetting.

4)Sometimes device freeze on calibration screen requiring another hard reset. And if it gets far enough through setup, the process restarts after the device reboots from customizations. Awkwardly, the device seems not to hard reset when soft-reset during the customizations process.

5)As the user posted above, i cannot install certain programs, like opera and facebook. I do not seem to encounter difficulties with OMJ's blue/red vistahide battery gauge, or FDC's TaskMgr.

If anything helps, i am a Sprint user.

I guess for now i'm back to V3... (It worked so well for me i didnt check back for two weeks!)

Thanks for being such an awesome chef,

Recless
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
It still will not work, once this issue starts it does not stop, no matter how far you go back in roms.

There is a fix, although Sprint users may find it hard and it has been discussed here.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rachbu:
The only app I haven't been able to install is (ironically :) ) NFSFAN's Opera cab.

I have been experiencing the same lag that others have posted about here, and some intermittent weirdness with Active Sync & my Exchange email. I also noticed the hang after a hard-reset on the HTC logo boot screen.

my troubleshooting steps:

flashed this ROM twice via bootloader

hard reset again

figured my phone was probably cashed, reflashed the VZW official Vogue update (same radio, and I had already let the customizations run on this in the past. GPS isn't really a big deal to me)

then re-flashed to NFSFAN WinMo 6.5 v6 r2

AND hard-reset after that

same problems.

--still, overall, i like this ROM and i"m happy to keep using it as NFS improves it in upcoming releases.

Thanks!

GPS Question?

i upgraded to the 6.5 v6r2 rom on my xv6900 and have the gps fix and its working great. My question is do i need to keep paying for gps ($10 month) or will it work anyway because its hacked? Can i cancel gps service and it still work?

Thanks for the response, although i must admit it was pretty vague. Since you did not include a link, would it be inappropriate to ask for a couple key words to search for, at least? Since you seem to know what's going on, what exactly is the diagnosis for this problem?

-Thanks Again
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
I have taken similar steps myself. what's happening is that I tell where I want the app installed, it starts the progress bar a little, and then tells me the installation was unsuccessful. I am ruling out the storage card being corrupt for now because everything seems to be accessing just fine. I also tried to install an identical cab from main memory without any further success. Thanks so far.

I have been using these roms for a while now and ran into my first problem with 6.v R6 V2

Ever since I flashed it I have been having random freezes on the boot screen that require a hard reset and even random hard resets.

I pluged into my pc to revert back to a previous rom and was unable to do so because now the phone will not make it past the boot screen, even with a hard reset.

Can anyone help me get my pda working again?

As for when and if a new version is released you then re-flash your phone

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
I was vague because the fix has worked for some and not all, and a real pain for some US cells.

Fix, re-flash stock, I let the customizations run, then flash the NFSFAN.

Mine has been working for days and days with no issues, after a few days of problems and multiple reflashes.

I do not know why it works, however reports show this to work.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaOnlyRecless:
I'd thought of that, but you had me fearing worse when you mentioned the possible hassle. Honestly, it's not that bad, besides having to relock afterwards.

No, I didnt do steps 8, 10, and 12.

Step 8:

8- Doubleclick on RomUpdateUtility.exe in the ROM folder you want to use

Follow directions on screen, phone will reboot

Step 10:

10- go through setup and auto-run on screen then upon restart press and hold red button+green button+stylus in reset hole until gray screen appears

press the center button on D-Pad, wait, then press "end" (red) button when prompted (known as a hard reset as opposed to soft reset done with stylus in reset hole only)

Step 12:

12- go through setup and autorun, phone will restart, upon restart, power off, then back on

- I didnt do any of these steps, but everything is working fine. Is there anything I have to worrie about?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, i installed the htc notification enhancement and decided i didnt like it so i uninstalled it. now my messaging program comes up on its own evertime it sends and recieves. so everytime i turn my phone on there's the messaging program waiting for me.

Then all of the sudden, it wouldnt sync... rebooted both pc and htc and nothing was syncing... when i stumbled on your solution, i couldnt find the Commmunications icons in the Settings..

In fact in my Settings Icon, I See, Bluettoh, Lock, CLock & Alarms, Sounds & Notifications, Connections, Today, Personal, System and that's it...

Where Do I see this option SyncToPC?

On v6 R2, just updated yesterday. No luck installing many of the same apps I have always used (Resco Backup, G-Alarm, G-Profile, etc.).

I am ruling out the storage card being corrupt for now because everything seems to be accessing just fine. I also tried to install an identical cab from main memory without any further success.

UPDATE: Still having the same problem. Also, PIE is crashing after being open for a few seconds. Also, when a notification opens up (new text, appt., etc.) there is no text on the screen, only white space.I would still love to hear from one of the experts on this. Thanks.

I considered switching back to stock ROM until v7...but then I realized a buggy NFS (if it is really bugs) is still WAY better than the stock.:)

HTC Audio Manager/USB in 6.5

Has anyone else noticed this? Let's say you've been playing music through HTC Audio Manager. Then you plug your phone into your computer via USB, and whether you select ActiveSync or Disk Drive, HTC Audio Manager reports something like "No Files Found," as it seems the Storage Card gets unmounted. Aside from losing my spot in whatever file I had previous been listening to (not a big deal,) it also results in another glitch where the seek bar isn't calibrated properly, and songs sometimes start in the middle. I didn't notice this behaviour in 6.1, but maybe I just never noticed it.

What I mean by this and it seems to specifically be with messaging. I close all applications. Put phone on standby and place phone in my pocket.

Some time passes. I take my phone out and when I press the power button and take the phone out of standby It looks as if Messaging is running. But its really not.

Rather than it saying "Start" in the upper left corner it says "Messaging" and the bottom task bar has the soft buttons you would see inside of the "Messaging APP"

Email Scheduler works great! It worked flawlessly in all of the 6.1 Roms. But ever since upgrading to 6.5. It seems like if I don't touch my phone Email scheduler runs all day long with no problems.

If I Open email to read one of my newly notified emails it seems as though Outlook does not completely close.

I always double check to make sure that I have fully exited the application. Could this be a problem with the Titanium Home Plugin?

Running 6.5R2 (on Telus) and I love it (Great job, NFSFAN!). However, there's one thing that's troubling me. Battery life is completely awful. The stock 6.1ROM from Telus would net me about two hours of streaming 128KBPS music from Shoutcast, but the 6.5 ROM just idling drains the battery rather quickly.

Curious to what others are getting.

Also, any hints on GPS? I've installed the .CAB (from post 238) for Telus, but still get nothing. I've done some reading, but apparently not enough. I'll keep looking but if someone could point me in the right direction that'd be great. I should also mention I'm running radio version 3.41.0 from the stock ROM and after the stock ROM installed, it ran customizations (I didn't know any better at the time)

-Karm
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ScrapMaker:
My battery life has been the same on pretty much every ROM I have ever installed.

It's always been terrible. It's a PPC with a 1150mAh battery. I would never expect 2 hours of streaming. I get about 6 hours stand-by time with BT discoverable, not connected, not using the phone. Connected BT nets me about 4 hours stand-by.

No BT, no active data use (but still 'connected') gets me about 10 hours of stand-by.

That's WM for you.

My GPS Experience

OK, So I finally got my GPS working, and I am going to post exactly what I did to do so, so other people might get it working too. I'm sure a lot of these steps are superfluous, I'm just posting exactly what I did.

1 - Loaded the official Telus ROM for WM6.1, with radio 3.41.00. Let customizations run.

2 - Loaded Bell ROM for WM6.1 with radio 3.42.50. Did NOT let customizations run.

3 - Loaded NFS WM6.5R2 ROM. Did NOT let customizations run.

4 - Installed the Telus GPS Fix cab provided by NFSFAN.

5 - Soft reset the phone

6 - Ran GPSViewer. Selected COM4 and clicked "Open GPS" and then clicked "Cold Start." I viewed the GPS status, it seemed to be finding satellites, but wasn't getting a fix. (Although I've never seen it get a fix, so I don't know if it's supposed to or not.)

7 - Went outside.

8 - Exited GPSViewer without clicking "Close GPS."

9 - Opened Google Maps. Selected "Use GPS." Clicked the little blue dot to go to my location.

10 - Left Google Maps open like this while I had a cigarette. By the time I was done, google maps had connected to 4 satellites and found my location within 60 meters. I might have had to click the blue dot again after it found the satellites, I don't remember.

Anyway, I hope this helps!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
It has to do with whether your phone will only pick up aGPS, both real GPS and aGPS, just GPS, or nothing at all. I don't know which number goes with what, but if you google it (something like "hybrid GPS registry hack"), you should be able to find out. I haven't messed with it since pledging my techy heart to NFSFAN's creations because the GPS is always so good, so I would leave it be if I were you.
