LOL try being the few that have jobs or school and come back after up to 10+ hours away and spend hours answering 6 pages of questions .. Now you want us to make up a FAQ too??

(kicks a pebble) alright ... geez ...

Just kidding with you .. seriously, this thread REALLY REAALY REEAAAALLLYYY needs to be split (1) for 6.1 and (1) for 6.5 too many times have answers been given in regards to 6.5 when the user is on 6.1 and vice versa (although the actual fault is the question asked not having enough details like that, but thats OK)

a FAQ though at this point would take so much time to go through everything and every version - separate out the non-needed, tweak the needed and post to a central location (ROM page itself)

it may happen at some point, but would be a collaboration to really make it feasable and that would def need NFSFAN to be part of as well and truthfully, with each version it would have to be revamped with new items found and old items removed if they arent happening any more

Just some food for thought on it, this thread alone on this forum has views 386,995 and replies of 4,588 - thats ALOT to sort through let alone read through

gps

so when you say GPS programs don't need reinstall - you mean you basically do the same thing as a few posts ago and just recreate the shortcut and the prog is functional correct? I'll have to give these things a try. Sounds much easier to me.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Well I was planning on starting a thread for just a nfsfan rom faq, either here or at ppcgeeks and just keep it up to date starting with this version of 6.5

Edit: I believe I have found the culprit for my cabs not wanting to work.

A f*ck up in the registry part of the cab not wanting to add anything to the registry.

Doh!

Fixed it, and am going to fully test it out, even check the registry this time.

I guess I should really check every bit next time. haha, its weird that it worked on my phone before though, must have been since i had everything installed previously to installing my cabs.

Shouldn't be much longer though!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
One thing to remember though - the prog and any prog that can do that is NOT adding registry entries or putting needed files within \windows or where ever so it wont work all the time with every app

Just a heads up in case it doesnt work out doing that for ya

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
As the ROM and the Thread is on XDA - prolly BEST to keep it on XDA

No sense having the library here and the books in the next county is it?

Who wants to create a Wiki? =)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
That's what I was thinking.

besides, I kinda like xda a lil better. :eek:

I was just nervous that people might b*tch if I make a whole new thread for the faq.

Also I would def need NFSFan to put a link to the faq in his release posts!

Edit: I hate wiki's!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
What he said^^

To the guy he was quoting:

Basically, the only apps that are on my SD card are tweaking apps, like UI Tweaker and ClearTemp and the like. Driver files, and hard coded programs are installed on my device to limit issues. My GPS is Garmin Mobile XT and that is fully installed on my SD card. It re-installs itself as soon as I insert the card back into the phone. Try out CABViaActiveSync. It'll make things a bit easier for you.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
hope u can fix it thanks man ^_^
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
You cab seemed to work fine for me. The secret is not to install Titanium Weather. It didn't work for me at first, but I uninstalled it, uninstalled Titanium Weather, soft reset, then installed your cab. Worked fine then.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Does anyone have the original 6.1 Sprint start-up animation?

EDIT: nvm, I found it over at PPCGeeks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Trying my newest fix.

It consists of the original cabs for the separate panels,

but I removed the vga titanium files that were in opera cab,

and the titanium files in weather panel so they will not overwrite what we have.

then I have a fix cab that will install the proper titanium files and change one registry value to make them all show.

Testing now.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
are u gonna "release" the cab tonight? i wanna go to sleep lol :o

just wanna make sure.. :D

thanks man for fixing them if it worked XD if not well thanks anyway :D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Glad to know I wasn't on crack or halucenating and that it worked for someone else. haha.

I'm working on a better fix to work for everyone. ;)

Figured out one of the problems, the htcmusic and weather panel used the same GUID. changing that. ;)

Agps

Regarding the gps fix on page 385 I tried it with the agps verizon fix by gpst as well as the registery changes without "resetting" my phone and changing roms or anything and it is working now. I am getting 5-7 locks INDOORS as fast as I was before whatever happened with VZW happened.

What I've done.

Installed GPScab on page 238--get a lock outdoors in a few minutes

updated QPST settings as shown here--http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

updated registery settings in hkey_local_machine>software>htc>SUPL AGPS

gpsmode 4

server ip 216.198.139.92

port 8889

*Edit* checking my settings the gps changes didn't work so really all I did was the qpst fix.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
I'm about to give up here after this try if it doesnt work, atleast for tonight. haha.

but I'll be back at it tomorrow if this try doesnt work.

It didn't work, :/

but now I have eliminated all other fixes but one. :D

so needless to say if I don't finish tonight, i'll finish it tomorrow morning-ish time.

;)

didn't a pervious google maps build have streetview or am I having memories of something that didn't happen.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Hmmm, enter bootloader mode and reflash.

I recommend flashing your carrier's rom and then reflashing to this one.

It's pretty damn hard to brick one of these types of phones.

I read pretty much the only way to do that is to downgrade to a non gps radio from a gps radio. but don't quote me. :P

I think that was google navigator that did. not sure if google maps did or not.

--------------------

I'll be finishing up the cabs tomorrow sometime.

I work and go to school most of the day,

so hopefully I'll get some time earlier in the day to work on it!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Yes it did. So does this one.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
thanks cody :) hope u release cab soon :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] focusedonsound:
I think adding a FAQ would be a great addition. It would not be that difficult to implement. You can start by giving fixes to the top 10 most common questions about NFSFANS roms which would cut down on at least 10 pages of garbage posts per day.

Once we get that organized we can cover more in depth details of changing things around. (The FAQ does not even need to be a separate thread it can be a .txt document added everywhere.

Customize start menu?

Sorry if this has been discussed, I couldn't find this exact topic in my search.

Is there any way to customize the WM 6.5 start menu? I know I can go into windows\start menu\programs and delete programs out of there... but is there a way to change the order or anything?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] football0552:
I completely agree--my suggestion would be to ask for members to volunteer to help with a project of doing so and assign X number of pages to review for each member and have what they find in their pages be suggested then have those "in the know" filter through those..
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
Did anyone answer this question for you yet? You might need the DCD carrier cab for Sprint. I had the same problem and the carrier cab fixed everything. It's a common issue with non-carrier-specific ROMs.

I use Resco Backup. I was using sktools for while, but Resco backs up everything faster, backs up your email accounts correctly (sktools doesn't work very well for that), and it is really easy to use. It's a trial-based software, but you don't have to worry about that if you are reflashing every couple of weeks!:)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rolandroland:
Verizon GPS

I used the "new" IP and port (same as you mentioned) and left the rest what the cab set it to and it worked for me once as well. I also changed the IP and port using QPST to match. However I changed IP and moved from his 6.1 to 6.5 at the same time, though more recently from V6 to V7. I guess I'll need to go back to 6.1 and if GPS works fine I'll stick with that for now. I'm sure he'll work out the kinks and then I'll be back to 6.5.

edit: This actually reminds me of the behavior of roms on Verizon phones before the QPST fix was discovered.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] crlsnr:
I have a GPS problem/question:

After getting a warranty refurb replacement from VZW my phone won't detect a single satellite.

Background:

I've been running NFSFAN's ROMs for about a year now and won't bother trying anything else - they're perfect. I was running 6v2 with everything running great except that there was a problem with the USB port on the phone (probably due to the hundreds of flashes and plugging/unplugging so often). Verizon sent me a warranty refurb replacement last week. The phone came with VZW's 3.14 WM6.1 update installed.

What I've tried:

Just for kicks I tried the gc14 VZW GPS tutorial with the Valhalla GPS cab on the 3.14 ROM and the phone couldn't detect a single satellite. I never wanted to use that lame ROM anyway so I just moved right along to unlocking with 2.31, flash with BELL 3.42.50 radio/ROM, then threw NFSFAN's 6v2 on there. I also did the QPST fixes for Telus aGPS settings. It's not that I can't get a lock, not a single satellite will show up in GPSViewer on bright sunny days in the middle of a parking lot for half an hour.

I went back and flashed the VZW 3.14 ROM to put the 3.37.78 radio on it then put NFSFAN's v7 on. Same thing - can't see a single satellite.

Has anyone heard of VZW crippling the phones that they're sending out now? Or do you think I just got a dud? Everything works great except GPS so I'm not sure what else to try.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I would rather start a new thread.

If someone doesn't work on something by this weekend,

I'll try to throw something together for this version rom and future roms.

I will not go through the hundreds of pages for older roms.

No point in my oppinnion.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] commandant83:
i know nfsfan mentioned in an earlier post that he's going to rem smartlock in v8, but for those like myself that like it want to use it, here is the cpr file, its dsixda's work, i believe he extracted it from the omnia onyx or somethin like that. i edited it to fix the notification table, as when you have 4 notifications they go below the bottom of the screen and get cut off, thats corrected, at least on my vogue runnin nfsfans 6.5 v7.

all you have to do is paste it in your win directory on the device, then restart. i didnt bother with the landscape version, however, if you search around you'll find it, and with minor corrections you can make it format properly.

summary: cpr file (time+date at the top, and slider at the bottom, notification in the middle).

i had to zip it to get it to become an authorized upload, i'm also doin this from work DND, so if this is corrupt or doesnt work let me know and i'll reupload from home.

best regards

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Raiden38:
Comm. THe smart lock in V7 locks all the time. Looks like as soon as backlight turns off, locks come in. Do you have the same issue? I honestly like the way locks works but I can't stand to have my vogue lock every 10 seconds lol

Is there a way to disable it while we are waiting for v8?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] commandant83:
to be honest i dont have that issue, but it may be because i have the backlight off timeouts set to off with screen timeout set to 1 min. this configuration has always worked for me. initially when i first flashed v7 a few times the phone went to the lock screen after i closed the current window that i had open, but that was a few days ago and never happened again, although that doesnt mean there isnt something wrong. anyone know where we can get a cab for this smartlock app ?

but to answer your q, if you go into system tools and launch smart lock, then uncheck everything, that should completely disable it, maybe throw in a soft reset after you make that change, and also wait atleast 10 seconds to be safe before restarting.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] WythDryden:
Personally, I like the lock screen.. I haven't had any issues with it, and honestly didn't utilize the new lock of 6.5 until it had autolock.. If it were taken out, I'd probably stop using the lock screen altogether again..

The only issue I'm having on V7 is that I'm still having connectivity issues when I'm connected with activesync..

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
I was checking out the panel's guid's,

and a major reason why it wasn't wanting to work with all of them is because the ones that came on this rom were using the same as opera's and weather's and opera and the weather were using the same as a couple of the stock titanium panels.

so it's a big clusterf*ck. haha.

I don't see how I had it all working before,

but I did.

I wish I hadn't hard reset now. lol

but I'm working on it. hopefully by the time I go home at 4:30 i'll have everything posted!

Funny, I can't get the damn thing to GO AWAY! It's locking nearly non-stop. I can't figure out wtf is flagging it to lock. I will be actively texting and it will just lock. Or actively dragging a menu... No logic.

Weather has been fixed, although I cannot add more than 1 city now, themes work better, seems pretty sweet indeed.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
I know this.

I already have that info in my cpr's.

already have everything in my phone and registry.

it's the guid's that are starting to **** everything up.

i don't know if I can just make my own

(using microsoft's only guid generator)

cuz I tried that and it didn't work.

the problem is that alot of those "custom panels"

are running off of the same guid.

which means that it will not work properly if ran at the same time,

if they even show up at the same time.

and the weather, opera, htc music, myfaves are all ran under the same guid. haha.

plus I had it working,

but everyone said it wasn't working so i scraped those cabs i had,

meaning i deleted them,

therefore i had to start all over basically.

and haven't had as much time as i'd like to work on it due to homework, work, school, life, etc.
