exchange will work fine. i run an exchange 2007 server at work and any custom rom i have used sync'd OTA just fine.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] g2145:
scott,

i've had my mogul for almost 8 months now and have always been afraid to flash a custom rom, afraid of bricking it.

yesterday morning, i came across your rom and decided to pull the trigger. wow...what a huge difference in functionality and looks. it does not even look like it used to. looks pretty bad ass now.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
Did you use the included Large start menu cab, from scott's ROM pack?

I think your second question would be best ansered in a forum about adding packages to kitchens, as it's not specific to R4R?

I think you're stuck on step 1. You might want to ask on the NueSPL thread?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
I sync everything through direct push. My phone never ever touches active sync. It should work fine for you. It does for me. I cook my server settings in my kitchen too so when I boot up my device it auto syncs all my email, contacts, cal, tasks (All on first boot).

Let me know if you have any problems.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Yeah, I got the VZW version almost free. Not going to pay all that cash for the Sprint version. Just too much right now. Reverted back to my Vogue and I am happier than ever. I got this thing SCREAMING! I will put it up against ANY custom ROM on ANY phone and I will bet my vogue smokes anything out there. Seriously! Its that fast. I'm not joking ;c)

Speed is the important thing for me.

Thanks for the idea though.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Thanks for sharing!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Ha, good question I have not thought of before. The fonts themselves have a control panel applet. You can modify the font sizes in Start -> Programs -> nueTools -> nueFonts. You can even change fonts, etc....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Easy answer, go by a 1 or 2 gig card for 10 to 20 dollars at Office Max, Office Depot, Bestbuy, etc. Hell they are prolly even cheaper than that now. Online, $5 to $10 shipped.

Flashing SPL's with USB is possible but not fun. For me its nerve wracking. Search for OliPro 2.40 and that will be the answer you need.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Thanks alot, glad you liked the work!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Flash didn't go right or you did not unlock properly. PM if you dont have it fixed by now. Sorry I missed this.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Just got caught up with thread...

I just got caught up with the thread. Alot of new people. Thats good! Page hits are near 6,000 now. Yahoo no longer tells me my bandwidth stats because I went to an unlimited plan. but with the current download ration of nearly 1 to 1 I am sure i have exceeded the 6,000 download mark which was almost double the last time I reported it.

I havent been tracking this thread much last week. I got the Vouge for a weekend, then got the TP when it came out on Tuesday then sent it back on Friday. The VZW version wasn't for me. It wasn't fast enough. It was a bit bulky too. I couldnt get it to run the Diamond Hologram program which its sprint cousin dos just fine. Different processors and half the memory to thank for that. I should have took a video of it failing. Oh well.

If you asked a question and I didint respond directly to you this past week you know why ;c)

If you have any thing unanswered please feel free to ask again. Its hard keeping up wiht this thread and the Vouge threads and the TP threads all at the same time... Not to mention having a job, three pets, wife, etc.....

Thanks!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Oh... Had a few people ask this so I guess I should have responded. Some people ask if this is an addiction for them as they have the following symptoms: Trying one ROM after another, reading threads until hours on end, Flashing more than three times in a single day, waiting up for the next release if you know its going to be soon, trying out differnt radios to see what will get you the fastest GPS locks, flashing every carrier ROM just to see what the other guys get, etc, etc, etc...

Hell no thats not an addiction, thats called PASSION!!! We all love this stuff, thats why these boards exist.

This is all about fun and having a good time with out otherwise mundane pieces of equipment.

Hey Scott,

The ROM is awesome; unfortunately the icontact program and standard contact program will not come up. Any idea why?

Scott: You still working on CABbing up your Manila 2D for us Titan users? I still think your version is the best one, would love to have it to install to whatever ROM I choose. :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fabricatedhero:
If you cooking your own ROM i would check the OEM over at PPCkitchen for the new Icontact burt edition.

My ROM works fine with that.

Manual Install of Google Maps for TouchFlo Location

Scott,

I've been using your Kitchen and decided to install Google Maps manually so I could put it in my Storage Card. When I did that, the TouchFlo Locations tab no longer worked. I uninstalled Google Maps from the Storage Card and resinstalled in Main Memory but that didn't help. I went through M2DC and couldn't find anywhere to configure the Location program. I checked the XML files and the registry and nothing there either. I'm now reflashing (for the 100th time) to include Google Maps. Any idea on why it didn't work with a manual install of Google Maps?

Update - I re-cooked the kitchen and included Google Maps and the Locations Tab now works. So there must be some relationship built during the baking time that if Google Maps is not present, it doesn't get linked into the Locations Tab. Does anyone understand how this works? Does this mean that when Google Maps is updated, we have to re-flash?

Thanks, - Mark.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SkierHiker:
Enlarge Start Menu

Tried that too. It changes all fonts except the Start Menu. Actually, now that I've been using TouchFlo a bit more, I don't think I need a large start menu since I don't plan to use it anymore :).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SkierHiker:
Multi-Colored Status Bar Icons

Anybody know how to change the color of the status bar icons (Comm, Phone, Speaker, Date, etc)? I have an 8525 Hermes with a custom ROM and the status bar icons are multi-colored and it looks real nice and is handy for quickly determining status (eg. green/yellow/red battery indicator).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
That's a neat idea. I think I'll try it too. The buttons/icons are in OEM/OEM_HTC_PhoneExt_2_38_0_0. After install, you probably guessed that they're in /Windows. I think the only ones that are going to be useful are the power ones, named BxBtn.bmp.

There don't appear to be any Manila 2D specific ones, and I think you'd need the battery indicator on in the start bar to see these.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fronc:
This is probably a dumb question, but I've been looking and its probably so obvious that nobody ever directly addresses it...

Does this flash install wm6.1 (MR1), or do I need to install that through the VZW update first?

Thanks guys, you've been very patient with all of us trying to learn the basics.

--Frank
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
The basic answer is yes, it installs windows mobile 6.1.

However, your quesition shows that you don't understand some fundamentals that kind of have me concerned that you don't know what you're getting yourself into. Did you know that regardless of what you install on your phone prior to installing this ROM, that it will be overwritten when you install this ROM? This includes the phone's operating system files, and not just your personal files.

Don't worry, because you likely don't need the old operating system files, but make sure and backup any of YOUR files that you need from your phone before beginning this process.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fronc:
Thanks BitServe,

I was aware that reflashing to scott's package would erase everything. I actually just got my 6800 and microSD card today, as a replacement for my i760. I'm looking to flash as soon as the initial charge is completed. I haven't turned it on yet or activated it through VZW.

2 questions, then, if you don't mind:

(1) Can I flash with the phone plugged into the charger, or does this run any risks?

I seem to remember flashing my i760 with a VZW executable, and it required my phone to be plugged in, so I wouldn't think any problems would arise if I did.

(2) Should I activate the phone BEFORE or AFTER I upgrade to scott's ROM?

I seem to remember somebody saying to activate AFTER, if I had a choice.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
It is possible without an SD card but I am not quite sure how to go about it. Everything except the radio can be done without the SD card but you will be stuck with the 2.40 bootloader instead of 2.47 and I think the only way to get the radio is to flash with a Sprint ROM and then reflash with the custom ROM.

Here's a few options for SD cards that are all under $10 shipped:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1457

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1458

Good luck.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fronc:
OK, Thanks so much for everyone's help. I bought an SD and now I'm flashed, have installed the carrier cab, and activated the phone. I'm receiving data and messages. Runs good. Installed VZW MMS, scroll bar, start menu, opal comm, skyfire, taskmanager 2, and updated M2DC..

Here's what's left:

I don't seem to have functional GPS capabilities. How do I activate that now?

Also, is there a way to set an alarm program like spb time as the default alarm in M2D?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
I noticed a problem with GPS also. My GPS was turned off (Location Setting service in the Phone's Menu Options setting), which I usually leave off for privacy reasons and to save on battery(?). With the stock ROM, I believe that I could still use Google Maps with this disabled. With DCD's ROM, which this is built off of, I have to first turn this back on in order for my GPS to work. If I'm not imagining this, I'm guessing that a service, that previously allowed this in the past, was disabled in order to save memory. I'm fine with that, I guess.

I don't konw if this is the same problem you're having, but something to check.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sfhub:
With the stock Sprint ROM, I need to enable the Location stuff to have GPS work. If I disable it, GPS doesn't work. I think HTC tied GPS to the Location setting, instead of giving it its own control.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] robertvb:
Success for first time flasher

Thanks for this instruction, this worked pretty good except for scaring the s**t out of me. Ha-Ha!

I used the SD card method for all of it.

Step 5 above, forgot to tell me to rename the rom to TITAIMG.nbh and I just copied the biggest .nbh file to the sd card. I thought I bricked it when nothing happened when I tried it. That took a while to figure out what I had done wrong.

Also I am so glad I ran the EPST program in the windows folder of my original rom and I copied every page of info down. After flashing, my phone would not work until I went into the windows folder of the new rom and ran EPST in edit mode and changed all the info I could back to the original data, after that, the phone works great and did not require a call to Verizon.

Is there a way to get the EPST data sent to a text file and skip all the pencil and paper work?

Thanks again! Scotts right. this is a sweet phone now!!

TouchFlo Mail Tab and Exchange Mail

Has anyone been able to connect the Mail Tab with Exchange?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nmhusa:
The fix for me was to select "mail" in the activesync sync list and the mail tab started showing my exchange email. There is a better explanation in the forum somewhere.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
The SD method is the easiest IMO. Sorry I missed that renaming step. Glad you figured it out though :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
I'm back to this ROM after running dcd 3.3.4 for a couple of days and having several lockups. I don't think that 3.3.4 is as stable as the 3.2.6 that this is based off of. However, I did see dcd write that the 3.3.4 was rushed out due to demand.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Seemed to work fine fo rme and everyone else. Did you cook the ROM or download the ROM? Did you install ANY contact application at all afterwards? I have no clue why this would happen to you. I would hard reset or even flash it again but its highly unlikely a bad flash. If it was you would have more problems than icontact. Try hard reset. Let us know.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
No, I was working on a vogue kiotchen all weekend. I broke the lock on the Verzion Vogue ROM ;c) I created a stock RUU with everything including the radio and bootloader minus the GPS lock down ;c) Spent all my time on that. I know now how to do it with the Titan too just no machine to test it on. I will work on it. Someone else on here should be able to do it straight from the kitchen. All files install to Windows and there are two reg entries to grab, provxml and the RGU file. Its not that hard just no time. I should have some time tonight. I will mess around with it. I am burnt out on flashing after this weekend.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Close but no cigar my friend..... The kitchen cooks in a reg setting when it cooks in M2D. The reg setting is designed to point to the OEM install location of Google Maps (the kitchen install way) vs the cab install way. I forget where the reg settings are but I will look around tonight (you can search on google or something in the meantime) when I screw around with the M2D CAB.

Once you know the reg setting its just as simple as changing it from \windows\googlemaps.exe to \program files\google maps\googlemaps.exe

I just cant remember the setting right now.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Well that is the entire point of the ROM ;c) Glad you like and thanks a lot for trusting my work!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Pretty damn good from memory, thats all I'm gonan say ;c)

Glad it worked out for you! No way that I know of to do that but I dont know that much about that portion of the phone. Others int he uprading and hacking forums probably have apps to do it. Search around and let us know if you do or dont finds something. It may benefit all.

Hey was that you that just donated a couple days ago? Thanks a lot if it was! That was greatly appreciated!

BTW: If you are not scared out of your pants the first time you flash you are either

A. Stupid

or

B. Crazy.......

I was B ;c)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
I would google search that but my friend at work has one for his TouchPro, It does look sweet. I will ask him what his is called tomorrow. It would be a hell nice addition to the ROM now that I think about it. Give it that polished professional look.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
No thats not correct. You certainly can NOTuse ANY gps application with the location setting turned off. You must have turned it on.

This has nothing to do with drivers or battery or memory. Its just a simple toggle setting. I left it at whatever DCD's was.

Even with Location turned off your GPS is still running. You may not realize that but its true. Secondly even with the setting turned on it consumes no more power unless you are using it with an application. To put it another way the toggle is just toggling whether or not apps have access to the GPS ports and protocols. Thats all it really does. GPS is always running to some extent.

I hope that explains it to you. If not I can elaborate but it will start getting boring fast ;c)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
You are 100% correct. See my above post for a sligltly more detailed explanation.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
I hope its not too late but here is my two cents on this....

1. Yes, hell yes. I flash my phone on average 3 to 4 times a day. Yout hink my batteries could hold out for all that flashing and testing? Never.

My rule of thumb on a new phone is this.... You should always activate on the carrier ROM first unless you are VERY familiar with the phone or how the hardware is supposed to work. What I mean is you should get used to the phone so you understand it and make sure everything works properly. That amount fo time can vary from two hours to two weeks or so. Just check it out for a while to make sure its good.

Anyways, if you want to install my ROM you may have the MR1 update already installed. If so you are in for a long night of flashing and palm sweating. You have to flash an extra three times to flash back to the NON GPS stock ROM. Then the entire upgrade process that non MR1 users had to do.

Its very long and tenuous but the reward is pure gold! ASk the over 6,000 people running my ROM right now ;c) Not a single utterance of a negative comment on 4 thread spanning nearly 1250 forum posts. Some suggestive feedback for sure but nothing said to belittle that ROM.

I don't believe this has ever been seen before. Not by any of the great chefs which I learned from (stated jokingly)! If so show me a thread without some negativity in it and I will stand corrected. I worked hard to work out every known bug I could ;c)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Anyways thanks for giving me the time to gloat. Felt good. The above said is true.

Thanks!

EPST Code

I am hoping someone out there can help me with gainging access to EPST again. I have researched this for the last couple of days with no real success.

I enabled my GPS and used QPST build 301 to add the gpsOne data and wrote it to the phone. Of course before I did that I looked at all the available screens and the code showed 000000. I sent that info to the phone and most everything works fine including quick GPS locks. I then realized a couple of days later that my voicemail was not working so I tried to gain access to EPST but it will no longer take the default 000000 code. I then called USCC and they got my voicemail to pick up like it should but I still can't get into EPST.

I have tried the GetSPC.exe program with no success and ensuring CAPS was on for the letters. I also tried the trick by changing values in the registry to log radio data that was supposed to include the code within its logged data, but no success there either.

Please help, does anybody know what else I can try to get this code back and access EPST once again.

Thanks

slow running titan

Hey scott,

I just flashed your rom to a friends titan. i actually have a vogue and have flashed it several times. after seeing my version of manila 2d, while i was back home for thanksgiving, he wanted to find out if he could have it. also he wanted gps. so i jumped on ppcgeeks and found your loaded rom. we put the new alltel upgrade rom on first to give him his new radio then ollipro or whatever it was called and then flashed your rom. all went off without a hitch. i then i installed the carrier setting you included. i put on a few games and quickmenu (i love it on mine). all seemed fine except his internet tab did not open any internet browser (he didnt care care because he uses his button, i cared a little because i like things to work, but oh well its his phone. haha) so anyway after that long story we come to my question, (sorry i just wanted you to know where we stood on what i was using) hi gives me a call today (after i get back home) and says that his rom is running really slow, i ask if he has too many thing running, he says he tries to pay attention to those things, and says it even happens even just after a reset. so i ask him about his signal strength, ( i know my phone runs really slooooow at school where it is a faraday cage i swear) and he says that it has been bouncing from good (several bars) to bad, all day. i figured this was the problem but after searching the thread i didnt see anyone else having this problem. i was wondering if you knew of this happening any with your rom or if it is something people are experiencing with the soon to be alltel to verizon move. I am on sprint so i dont really pay much attention to what alltel is doing..

anyway any help from you or anyone else reading this would be greatly appreciated.. and I apologize for writing a novel

p.s. at time of writing, scott, your at 666 posts. :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] not1ofthepack:
Scott YOU ROCK, I am praying you can get version 5 out with the lasted DCD rom. Is there any way you could add in a GPS app the turn it on and off? I can never get google to find my location :( and have read and read all the post here and on ppcgeeks , even still doing the tweaks for it.

Best rom I have found, I have switched all my friends to your rom.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mach30SiR:
Thanks! Great Rom
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
I really did imagine that.

I guess if I'd have read the Location Settings dialogue, I would have caught that it doesn't turn off the GPS, but just stops applications from accessing it.

I did notice that the GPS Intermediate Driver is missing from the ROM though. So if a appliation requires this API, it won't work. Most applications likely support connecting via the hardware/COM port though.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mach30SiR:
It appears that the Internet sharing and teathering detection reg edits have already been done. Am I just over looking something?

I also managed to get my touchflo to be all black, nothing is showing up, its just a black screen with only the top and bottom window bars. The touchflo interface is completely black. I applied a new theme that came with the rom, and it is still black.

(sprint)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Yup, thats what happens. This can get stressful. But I do agree that 3.3.4 is not nearly as stable as 3.2.6.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Um, no. This question just surfaced by another member late last week. You two are th eonly two so far out of 6,000 people that have reported this. I really dont know what to say.

I woudl try flashing the MR1 update but dont let the customizations run! Activate phone using *228. Next I would flash my ROM back and see how it goes. Other than that there really is nothing in the ROM that could cause this to happen. Even if you ran the wrong carrier cab this would not happen because they only modify your internet settings and the ## codes. Other than that they couldnt cause a radio malfunction.

Next I would question your upgrade method. If the wrong steps are taken out of order it can cause wierd stuff to happen. Other than that maybe someone else can give some advice.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Cool!! Tell all your friends, just so they know, I have a donation link at www.scottcrosler.com right next to the kitchen download buttons ;c)

AS far as V5 I said about a week and a half ago i abandon the project. I swapped my mogul for a Vogue and I am swapping that again for a touch pro tommorow. No version 5 unless someone can send me a phone to develop it on. If they do that I will send it back when done but it could take weeks.

If your having problems with google then make sure you GPS setting is one. Do any other GPS apps work?

Did you have the MR1 update applied ot the phone? Lots of variable so give me as much info as you can please.

Im worried VZW is sending out phones with the MR1 update and that will throw a monkey wrench in the process for everyone. Its going to happen sooner or later.
