Thanks Snakehn! Ill give it another go. Is there anything I should do once I enter boot loader mode(the green, white, blue strips?) Like what happens for you? A prompt just pops up asking you if you want to flash the .nbh file?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Snakehn:
you'll see a message that says: "press the power button to start the upgrade" of something like that
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] greenfire:
Ok, thanks Ill keep at it. And if anyone else has any tips. Please shoot
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
The only other thing Ive ever read and followed is when you rename it - rename it VOGUIMG.nbh (yes in capital letters)

But everything else is right, fat32 formatted 2GB or less sdcard

bootloader mode and the message

etc etc

What size SD card are you using?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] writer:
Android and wm6.5!

for v13 NFSFAN should do something as far off as putting the two on one ROM!

how cool would it be to have BOTH ANDROID and WM6.5 on one phone!,,it can be done, especially with this guys skills!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] FutureSEAL16:
I'm using the v12 6.5 ROM and it is wonderful. I flashed 3 times before finally using it and I haven't found a single bug yet. Everything is working perfectly including GPS, MMS and everything else I have played with on it. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate how much work you must put into your ROM's to make them this wonderful.:D

try to run the 0.40 unlocker, then flash the official verizion rom. Flash it from the bootloader (power+camera+stylus)

Hi Guys, I had a coworker pick up my pimped out touch at work, and loved it.....thanks NSFAN.....however I had to take a call and when I came back he had the stylus out going through personal files......is there a good encryption program that I could install and put personal files in it?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottter:
is there a way to reorder the touchflo icons?

I want the app list to be the 2nd or 3rd one
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] eiger06:
I figured it out...not sure why this worked, but it did.

1. Reflash the 0.41 unlocker, not using the bootloader screen...just starting the RUU.exe while activesync was connected.

2. Flash the 2.31 unlocker. For some reason this did not flash initially, but since 0.41 was flashed, it ran completely this time.

3. Reflashed the NFSFan 6.5 ROM

4. Ran the two Verizon CABs.

Note: I did all flashing NOT using bootloader...for some reason, not using the bootloader ran cleaner. Also, the 6.5 ROM was not working with the 0.41 unlocker...but runs perfectly with the 2.31.

Next up...need to search how to remove the "Favorites" option on the home screen and how to remove some of the Apps from the Start screen (like MSN Money)

not sure if this has been resolve, but im runnin v12, and when someone calls i get the new dialer, BUT if i have my phone locked, i get the second one lol, so i guess keep your phone locked to get the second one lol
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:

Trouble connecting to the internet

I just flashed my vouge to NFSFAN's Winmo 6.5 v12 and everything is working great except my internet connection. I am able to send text messages but I am not able to do anything on the internet. I installed the sprint provisioning cab but still nothing. Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be changed or did I miss something somewhere. Any help would be much appreciated. I have an unlimited data plan with Sprint and it was working before I flashed so now I just need to get it working on 6.5. TIA

Well I'll be a son of a B****

I have been searching through about 300 posts trying to find out why my internet would not work and when I stumbled onto your post I thought to myself "what difference does it make if I flash NFSFAN's Rom once or three times." Well after about 12 hours of screwing with my phone flashing and reflashing I finally gave your way a try down to the letter and what do you know, it worked just like you said it would. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You, and I am sorry for not seeing your post first. All I can say is you rock for your directions and so does NFSFAN for making this awesome rom. If anyone else out there is having problems getting their internet to work just follow TEMPESTS' direction and it WILL WORK. Thanks again. :D:D:D

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] 350insp:
I wish there is a cab file to load cdma dialer into v12 since i'm having issue with scrolling through the contact in v12 gsm(?) dialer. The fonts are all screwed up and does not refresh if you scroll down past the first page. If you scroll up then it refresh the entries though.

is there any tweaks or fixes for this?

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] fixxxer2008:

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] albert001:
Well fellas i have been racking my brain on this for the last two days. I have searched i have followed but to no avail. I had a x6900 from verizon unlocked and everything. Everything worked beautifully. Then i dropped it in a way where the screen no longer functioned. I barely made the year coverage and managed to convince verizon to send me a free replacement. Well the replacement is the issue i am having. I cant get the GPS to work for the life of me at all. I have tried doing EVERYTHING. But maybe i missed something. I have done the aGPS fix. Flashed to sprint then the unlocked verizon ROM. I am trying to get the end result with nfsfans wm6.5 v11 working. But to no avail. I keep reading that other people noticed more difficult issues with the newer xv6900 from verizons but that some have managed to make it work. Right now i am just trying to flash it to the Sprint ROM to see if perhaps that ROM will enable it. Please help!

Call history is a very important feature. Why did you ask for this GSM Dialer if you can not go past the last 3 calls without at the numbers and text getting all screwed up.

Hey guys. I just flashed to V12, and I'm not seeing the option to enable M2D in the Today Screen items list. Has it been removed in newer versions of NFSFAN's ROM?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
Hey Cody,

I figured by now you would be sick and tired of typing the same instructions over and over again. so I figured I would type them too. What gets me is it is probably written in 100 or more archived posts, not to mention your FAQ, but it still gets ignored.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
I don't have that problem. I just go to phone / menu / call history and it is all there. Maybe you installed V11.5:rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
It's there, check the box "TouchFlo"
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Peteman100:
Thanks! Can't believe I didn't think of that...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
no.

don't see how it could even effect battery life.....

don't knock it till you've flashed stock and flashed the rom 3x's.

haha, yeah, i pretty much gave up on typing it over and over.

now I'll usually only repeat myself a few times and if it's in the faq I just say go read the faq. hahaha.

It got really old really fast.

I do hope to start coming back to this thread more lately,

My back is starting to feel better...

so I should be able to sit at the computer longer now.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
lol, I was tempted to go add it because of this comment. hahaha.

:D:D

Now that I'm following this thread,

and in the middle of revamping the faq,

I should be adding more info.

If anyone can PM any fixes/etc that I've missed since v11 came out,

I would appreciate since like I've said,

I haven't really been following it for a while.

I don't care if I get twenty messages with the same thing,

better to make sure I have it then not have it at all. ;)

definitely recommend flashing to stock,

then reflashing to the rom.

follow flashing instructions in the faq.

No Email or Internet

I have an xv6900 that I just updated with your wm6.5 ROM. Everything works great except I can't get email or Internet. I did the MMS Hotfix as detailed in the instructions, but the Connections Settings doesn't hold onto the "vzw" password and I keep getting an error message that my password is wrong. Suggestions?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rarahpb:
thankx, v12 rocks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
Basic answer, it was buggy and not stable.

Long answer, read the forums, use the forum search etc, a few minutes spent doing this will reveal what the problems were and why NFSFAN chose to roll it back.

People, before posting a "problem" or "bug" please read the thread from at least the date of the current release, or second last release. It's a pain when someone expects paraphrasing because they are to lazy to read and the same things are posted over and over again. It's also the reason this thread is 800+ pages and so hard to read. Some of us have read ALL of them. It might take a while to do so but you'ld be surprised how much you'll learn.

QuickGPS

To all the seniors members and all the smart 5th graders out there.

I've read and read and read about the Quickgps not working and found out two things.

1 If you get an certificate error you are downloading a wrong or bad cab file.

2 If you get a connection fail error it is not a connection error, because it does download the xtra.bin file to the temp folder.

Question is: What is QuickGPS supposed to do after it downloads the xtra.bin

file to the temp folder?

If I manually move it to the windows folder it shows on the Qgps main screen but it doesnt show the days remaining so I think something else has/needs to be done besides of just copying/moving the file to the windows directory.

I am running v11 on Telus. I have not been able to get GPS running since v. 9 when it worked perfectly. Both V.10 and v.11 haven't worked for me.

I'm in a kick the dog mood... sorry.

Let me just apologize in advance for my poor attitude this morning...

This morning, the dog won't stop yappin, the wife is a little grating on me, I just flashed WM 6.5, and after playing with it for a few hours, I think it sucks.

Yeah, yeah, it seems more responsive and faster, but its has not been well thought out in terms of the way it throws you around from screen to screen. I'm willing to be humbled by someone who tells me, "Hey dummy, all that can be fixed if you just go to so and so and adjust this and that!" But I would guess it ain't gonna be possible, really.. and btw, I am not intending for this to be a flame on NFSFAN's Rom. This is only the second custom rom I have EVER tried, I am a little too naieve to understand if it works this way because of the intrinsic nature of 6.5 or if this is the way NFSFAN set it up to flow. But here are my complaints.

You can't customize the today screen hardly at all (if you uncheck the default you loose a lot of options that aren't available individually)

When you go multiple screens deep into Start, and adjust some settings, and press OK, instead of backing you out to the previous screen, it throws you all the way back out to the Today screen. IT DOES THIS WITH EVERYTHING! That's crap, IMO.

The data connection dialgue box keeps coming up about every 10 minutes and I keep having to tap "hide".

The calendar don't work right. If you set it's start up mode to "Month" view, it acts like a rebellious child and ignores me. It always keeps defaulting to "Agenda" view.

On the today screen you've got "fave people" which is totally stupid how you go thru your favs... one at a time, slide it over, one at a time, slide it over... sheez, crap. OK, you can go to contacts, then tap "Menu", then tap "Filter", then tap "Favorites", (pain in the ass) but then guess what? After you go back to the Today screen, then tap Contacts, your Favs filter view is automatically reset back to "All Contacts"... crap, IMO.

Well shoot. Phone was set to screen "off" after 3 minutes on battery, which it did, but then power button or any other button would not turn the screen back on. Had to soft reset... Can't get this problem to repeat yet.

btw, the speed of xda is crap, IMO.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jadesdan:
:eek:

I'm going to pop some popcorn and find my bullet-proof protective eye wear for this one.......

I agree that XDA has been slow and that the start menu always falls back to today, but the rest of your 'problems' can EASILY be fixed by changing some settings (like the button issue, there's a Windows setting for that)...

As another user said "just flash to the stock ROM and use it, otherwise, stop complaining"
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ETPhHm:
hmm. You know, negative posts are not without purpose. If someone else is thinking to perhaps take the plunge, maybe a post like this will save them a lot of wasted ime.. eh? and btw, the button settings like you spoke of does not fix the problem I am having. Your post revealed that you had blinders on.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
Well it sounds to me you are in a crappy mood. I'm in a good mood;)

I for one, have been testing custom ROMS and tweaking phones for some time now. No bragging intended but I had a Windows mobile PPC phone since they were first introduced. They were big and bulky, but they did what I needed them to do. I find NFSFAN's work to be the most stable, fastest and easiest to load ROM version available. I also find XDA to be a kick ass site and it usually loads fast for me.

Testing ROMS are not for everyone. There can be problems. You always risk malfunctions, and possibly BRICKING your phone. The best way to be safe is to keep the phone stock and use it the way the factory intended. But if you want to experience what the phone can really do and you feel it is worth risking ruining your phone, then testing ROMS is the way to go.

So bottom line is, if you are that unhappy that you want to kill the dog and divorce the wife, you should probably use someone elses ROM and find it at another forum. Oh and maybe pay for a better internet service. Dial-Up is outdated;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] grabaclue:
I think found a new issue

I think I've found a problem nobody has reported before. And it's an odd one, too! I recently installed V12 (I had been using V8) and everything was just fine. It's fast and works well and I like it a lot.

Until this morning when I realized that the WM6.5 objects, like the new menus, the larger scrollbars, the way the Inbox highlights the selected message... had all gone back to the WM6.1 look. In fact, the Inbox particularly now looks just like the 6.1 version, although I can still scroll by dragging messages up and down. It also lost my email settings and I had to re-enter them.

But it's not just Inbox with the problem. Although I still have the new Today screen and Program menu, everything else now looks like the old 6.1 version. The device still reports itself as running 6.5.

Weird, huh? I'm going to flash it again later tonight or tomorrow and see if that fixes it. I imagine it will.

CHome Editor and V12

I've seen were it was recommended to use CHome Editor to modify the softkeys on the today screen, but I'm failing to see the SK2Text and SK2URL inputs for the CMyPhotos in the registry. Is it typical to not have these registry inputs available, or is this a V12 thing? I'm new to custom ROMs and still fairly green on registry edits, so forgive me if this is an elementary question.:confused:

If it is not just a V12 thing..does anyone know how to change the right softkey for the "photos" selection on the today screen? I'm looking to change the key link from the "Pictures and Videos" app to the "Album" app (I prefer the photo manipulation and viewing).

I've tried searching this topic, with most threads leading to this registry edit, but without the inputs in the registry, I'm lost as to what to do next.:confused:

And by the way, this is my first custom rom on the XV6900, and I must say that I'm fairly ticked at myself for not doing it sooner! Can't believe the improvement in appearance, functionality and kinetic scrolling...especially in the contacts and outlook programs...props to NFSFan!:D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] gt!:
The reason this thread is 800+ pages is not because people don't read all 800+ pages, but rather because there is no organization. This current single thread contains posts about probably 15 different releases of roms and with 3-4 different carriers. It's ridiculous to call someone lazy because they don't have time to read hundreds of pages of irrelevant info before finding what they are looking for.

IMO there should be a new thread for each release. Let's start fresh each time. Also, putting the download link at page 238 (or whatever) makes no sense. Unless someone has bookmarked or knows how to pop the page into the URL it is a real pain to get there.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Actually sloth IS a major reason for the fact the thread is 800+ pages - if people would search the thread first and see the question asked already and then read the answer a great deal of the pages would never have existed to begin with... but instead someone has an issue and rather than search the thread (yes search NOT read each page, just the posts related to the search) then they post the question and then answers come along and this situation is repeated time and time again - the chef has certain responsibilities to the people he delivers a ROM to BUT the people downloading and using it also have a responsibility to do their part to research an issue before posting...

Want to see what happens in a smaller scale look at CodyBears FAQ thread on this series of ROMs, it is stated time and time again to NOT ask a question in the thread but that the thread is for fixes only - yet does anyone read that despite the number of times its written out and despite the font size and color, no as they cant be seen if people dont take the time to search and read first

This was suggested originally and NFSFAN did not want it that way, so in that case it really doesnt matter what an opinion of someone is - his ROM, his Thread, end of discussion regarding that

That's the theme, so i'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess if you change it to a win mo 6.5 stock theme (i.e. rock and republic) that it'll go back to normal.
