I have always wondered and haven't found the answer nor wanted to try for not wanting to brick the phone, what is this the difference in Radio 3.42.30 and 3.42.50. I have 3.42.30 with sprint.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Radio versions between 3.42.30 and 3.42.50 is very little actually, its a firmware update, Ive not seen a big difference in signal or reception and Im on Sprint as well here in Las Vegas so that may be part of the issue as LV was at one time a VERY Sprint city, now its spread out over the spectrum of carriers

Basically if you dont need to you dont have to, but there can be benefits to the upgrade should you need it for GPS or whatever...

Ok I'm going to sound like an idiot one more time. I found the Diamond theme with the white clock background in a CAB file

here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=425974

When I install it, it asks to reboot.. once that is complete. voila nothing. It just says touch here to activate touch flo. When I do that, nothing happens. I tried going into Manila2D customizer but couldnt find the theme.

it's not a huge deal since everything else is working fine but I think i need to hard reset at this point. Anyone have ideas before I hard reset?

Verizon GPS on Newer phones

I'm not sure if people are still having problems with Verizon GPS but my girlfriend just got a new XV6900 ($20 with new every two) and I went through all the normal steps starting at 2.31 unlocker. Didn't work. I'm like WTF and stumbled upon this via a post i can't find again:

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

After doing that it worked fine.

Duplicate Contacts softkeys Today screen

On the Sprint stock v6.1, I used to use the HTC Home plugin, but the M2D plugin in 6.5 now takes up the whole Today screen so TodayAgenda appts and tasks won't display. Same issue with the Windows Default Plugin.

Now I start with a "blank" Today screen, then add the messaging, voicemail and TodayAgenda plugins. Works perfectly except there are still (as of 6.5v6R2) duplicate Contacts softkeys at the bottom of the Today screen, with no Calendar softkey.

Detroit Doug or HTC Toucher, does either of you have any suggestions about any possible fixes for this? It seems like a small issue but having a slightly "broken" Today screen is driving me nuts.

Thanks.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
I do not believe it's possible to block data roaming, you can shut it off, however I believe it's recommended to change the dialing of 777 to some giberish when away as shutting it off will not keep it off. Not sure how this happens.

I believe what you are reffering to in 1.20 is still found in Start, Settings, Personal, Phone, Services, Roaming. However that only takes care of the phone not the data.

So it seems my battery problems was due to the weather widget, after setting it to update only manually my data connection disconnects now and it not on 24/7 so battery life has improved 90% my phone has been unplugged for 2 days and is only at 47%. However I have noticed one thing, the volume popup seems to be cutoff on the right, is this just me? I'm on v6 (didn't have any hard reset issues do I didn't see a need to update to r2) Does anyone have a fix for this? or know what file needs to be adjusted?

Any advice would be appreciated, it's not really a big deal just one of those visual quircks I would like to have fixed.

Great job NFSFAN!

Ok I just played with it a little more and it seems to be fine on the today screen, but on any other screen it's moved over a bit to the right and cut off. for example the start menu or email/messages. Just to clarify in case someone tries to check.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] yandi3401:

1..If you need to unlock run unlocker

2..go to bootloader mode and flash rom to upgrade radio if needed( this is to upgrade radio) HERE

3.. go to bootloader again and flash custom rom you want..

They will be 2 seperate rom's so you will need to flash twice... HTH

Ok, thanks a lot!

I didnt update my radio, can I do that now?

Is the radio the radio u listen to music, or is talking about other radio (sorry Im new at this)?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Sorry about the confustion and I didnt realize English wasnt a primary language

The radio is the radio in your phone that transmits and receives from the towers your cell provider sends a signal to and from your phone (calls, texts, internet, etc) not a FM style radio for listening to music through

You could update the radio but probably not needed and it needs to be updated before you flash your ROM you want to use all the time, you can still update but then you will have to flash the ROM again

At this point if your phone is working the way you want it to - dont bother with the radio update

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] BoboBrazil:
I've been having a horrible signal since upgrading to 6.5 v6 refresh. I'm running .30 radio. I will try the update to .50 and see if that helps. Is that the latest radio out? I also just had a hard reset on me in the middle of sending a text. Phone froze up and I turned it off. When I turned it back on it was a hard reset. I had absolutely no problems with v4 and v6 is running so unstable for me. I have done a hard reset after flashing also.

New XV6900

Hello Doug,

I will be getting a new 6900 within the next few days from VZ. Not sure if it will come with WM 6.0 like my first one did, or if it ships with the new 6.1 update.

What is the best way to proceed if it comes with WM6.0 and a non GPS radio? Do I unlock with 0.40 unlocker? then flash to 3.42 50 Radio, or do I use the leaked VZ 3.37.77 rom or Sprint rom? Either way do i let any customs run on any of them?

Also is there a way to dump the 6.0 rom if we ever need to go back to stock?

Thanks in Advance
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
OK, let me try and break all this down

If it comes with 6.0 or 6.1 it wont matter, if 6.0 download and flash to 6.1 official (you leaked ROM if your on Verizon, Sprint if on Sprint) then unlock with 2.31 then flash the ROM of your choice

As far as a dump, no you just flash to the Stock original ROM 6.1 as it is official or find the official Verizon 6.1 and keep it around for flashing back to stock

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I ported this 3 weeks ago, when it first came out. It did work, but not fully. Didn't bother to look into it more, since it was tied to one of the dlls.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
but can i still try it like if i don't like it anymore can i just uninstall the .cab and have the normal system notification again?

am using the sprint rom :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
You sure can. But kind of pointless.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] axemurderer:
Here is my confusion. With my first and current 6900 I flashed from 6.0 to the official VZW update, 6.1 with 3.37.78 Radio. I used Valhalla cab and my gps worked great. I then wanted to use a custom rom, so I flashed to NFS 6.1 roms, but never got GPS working again after that. I read that if you use the official update it locks down your GPS.

So I followed this, http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS

It brought my radio from 3.37.78 official to 3.37.77

Is there a difference between that and the rom in the wiki? I thought this is what you call the leaked Rom? (3.37.77 Radio) Is that correct?

It was then that I was able to get GPS working again.

Hope I am making myself clear, sorry for the confusion. I do appreciate your help.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
As it says right on page one:

1. You should have a 21000 or higher build before using this. THIS WILL NOT WORK ON OLDER BUILDS!!

2. If this is already in your ROM, DO NOT INSTALL IT!!!

The actual question is NFSFAN, although you tested it and it wasnt that functional, was any parts of it left it or was it completely pulled out of the current ROM so if someone was to install it, it wouldnt mess up the ROM as is

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
thank you very much

they uptaded the files maybe it works better now since the last time u got it...:) *remember u got it when it came out :eek:*

ill test it and tell you whats up :)

*edit*

Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.

how can i get it lol
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
It isn't in my ROM. All that needs to be fixed up is the layout file. It seems easy enough to do. Will look into it tomorrow.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Thats a leaked ROM with radio versioning - it will stay that version until you flash with a differing version of radio in a base ROM or flash to a Stock/Leaked version of a Verizon ROM with radio

Seems all the Stock/Leaked ROMs are radio versioning ROMs where the custom ROMs do not (normally) include a ROM

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] yandi3401:
Oh ok! Thanks A lot! My phone is running WM 6.5 right now!

- Is working fine, i can make calls, and receive text msg, so I guess I dont have to Update the radio.

I didnt do steps 8, 10, and 12 (cause I dint know what to do)... but is working fine! Is there anything I have to worrie about?

And when a new ROM comes out, all I have to do is download it and run the rom installer and thats it?

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] eat toast:
I asked the question earlier about the radio versions, flashed anyway from .30 where I had no problems to .50, reloaded 6.5 V6r2 and all is well. I haven't found a post about the differences and now I have a bell boot screen to hack out. However..My friend had done the same and experiences the same phone freezing, his Vogue is older, I don't want to say generation but first on the market. He has always had issues with any Rom and even with the stock Rom. His vogue has been evil since day one and I tell him that his phone would serve a better purpose at the bottom of a lake. V6R2 is Solid, on 3.42.30 or 3.42.50. I think there are some differences in the hardware (chip revisions) that give people these issues. I have flashed my phone with every NFSFAN, DHavey and WDM build, NFSFAN with the win. But I don't have issues, I have cooked my own and no issues. If your phone doesn't like a NFSFAN build then it may not be meant to be, you could have the same hardware as my friend whom hates me ever since I told him we could make his phone better by flashing.

That cab sucks. There are different files from different versions of the Notification Manager mixed together.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
I was wondering the stability myself from the sounds of it over there (and yes, I read every page ugh)...

Alot of band-aids covering bullet holes in the patchwork quilt of a build they have going on right now

Not to say they arent making big leaps in compatibility and workability but I really dont want to see this in a current or near future build until they cabs being created are far more stable and proper than they are building now just to make it work

I see about a month or just barely under that before something stable enough for day to day use on a Vogue like we all use here being available and smooth

No, its got nothing to do with resizing. All the images are resized properly. I've done this as well. It is a dll problem. I've also tried scaling the layout dll, but doesn't help at all. Regardless, its not a big deal. The app is nothing special.

No GPS after flash downgrade - what now?

I think I saw one or two post somewhere on this subject, but I didn't see an answer - I had been running the 6.5 V6 ROM, but was having issues with programs crashing, etc., and decided to wait for a few more revision before trying it again - at that point I had decent GPS lock (30 secs or so) - after downgrading to 6.1 V1.15, I had not only no lock, but not even a blip on GPS Viewer. I just went through the whole aGPS fix routine, using the updated addresss & port, and successful QSPT, etc. - still not sign of the little red dots - any suggestions? I didn't use the GPS Cab that NFSFAN supplied with the 6.5 roms - should I run that? I had previously had no problems flashing back up to V5, but V6 seems to have changed something - any suggestions, of course, would be much appreciated -
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Basically its a new shiny toy for our Vogues, yes eventually it will arrive (much like our current pre-release versions of 6.5 when they are official) but whereas a month or so ago it was crap, it is MUCH more solid and stable but unlike an OS or a GUI, this is an additional app, and while yes I agree "well isnt TF2D or the CHome interface that too" the difference is ease to access ALL the items on the phone and not just something new and cool for an associate piece of the phone.

Currently as it stands my inbound calls, my appoints, my texts, etc all do as I need them to, they alert me to their existence and I can look at them or not, where this may fill up the screen with the information but to be honest I dont need my screen to slide up to show me an appointment I already know exists and my phone is simply being a nag, umm a handy reminder of it LOL

But like many apps and UI on these phones, its a personal preference and personalities vary as do the demand and supply of the ROMs and apps reflect

Detroit Doug

And in reference to the quote - please remember MANY users access this site and PPCGeeks via the very phone and ROMs they are making statements on, so you have to get used to textyneese as they may be at work, in a meeting, whatever LOL

Just in case anybody else has this problem. I figured out my problem was Autolock conflicting with m2dc somehow. As soon as I uninstalled it m2dc worked as normal. Note: it was not enough to just kill the autolock process ... I had to uninstall the cab.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
The notification doesn't work. When you get notified of something, all you will see is that transparent black screen. There is something else that it needs, and it isn't showing because that component is missing perhaps. I haven't looked at it carefully enough to determine which component that is.
