I'm free now and want to be your beta tester, but...as some of our guys have reported about booting issue with the phone, could you clarify this so I can be little bit safer when trying this?
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
that is normal since this is still in the beta stage ... just standby the wm6.1 rom reflash it and everything will be fine ...

If u r feeling not safe to try tis better not then (just like the 1st post in the warning)

;)
[HTC Cavalier] hurrywolf:
b3 aslo cant boot up !!! please check it :mad::mad:
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
Thanks for the info & being a beta tester :)

will try to port it again ... not sure what is wrong with the xip :confused:
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Well I guess I'll have to stand back then, because I need to be able to make calls after all. Just thought that If it could boot up and make at least calls and store contacts, I'll test it out and report bugs If any. Anyway, keep up the good job guys. I truly appreciate it.
[HTC Cavalier] lhickin:
Hey cruzzmz :)

I have just downloaded and installed b4 on my HTC branded device. So far so good - the phone booted up just fine and I am now configuring it (addig NRG Weather, eT9 and a few other apps). I will report back more details after I have used it for a day or so...

..but at least it didn't brick the phone or lock up on the bootloader ! :)
[HTC Cavalier] lhickin:
Quick update....

I have installed NGR Mini-Weather 3.1, Voice Command 1.6, eT9 Cab & CHome Configurator. All installed fine and seem to be working great. Some issues I have noticed with the b4 build :

1. Accessibility options still don't work under 'settings'

2. Any time I change the Home Screen settings (i.e. change default colour or background) - it goes blank and I need to reboot to get it back (after which it then works fine)

3. CHome configurator always complains of permission errors when I make changes to the order or list of applications on the home screen - but after the reboot, the changes seem to take effect so this could just be a bug in Chome Configurator

4. I have experienced a couple of random lock-ups where I had to reboot to get access back to the phone

5. In SMS message threading - you can't use the 'back' button to leave a message thread (as I remember this was present in the old build also ?)

General call quality and network connectivity seems to be fine though.....

What exactly should I expect different in this release to the original WM6.1 ROM you released a while ago in the other thread ?
[HTC Cavalier] lhickin:
Sorry Cruzzmz....going to have to go back to my S620 and drop the b4 build on the HTC S630 for now....

The b4 build you gave out seems to be crashing the messaging application every 20-30mins or so......the overall phone interface seems to be working fine but if I try to run messaging, Text SMS etc.. it just seems to lock up and do nothing....and if I look in the task manager, messaging isn't started.

Sorry....:(
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
It is ok at least i got a very good feed back frm u :D

so going back to s620 rom meaning that using the wm6 rom? or the 1st wm6.1 rom i cooked?

Ill try to cook a new beta rom again & hopefully u can be the beta tester again.

Thx a lot
[HTC Cavalier] lhickin:
I've gone back to my HTC S620 phone running Kavana's Wm6.1 ROM.....

...I'll keep the S630/Cavalier on hold for your next release :)

Thanks for all your efforts so far :)
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
so u got both excalibur & cavalier :D

u hv a chance to try the Rose rom on ur S620 yet?

will PM u once the beta rom is ready
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
same issues with me..i have flashed my device back to wm6.0 waiting for new update..
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
lhickin

does ur cava still flashed wz the beta rom? could u tell me what is ur ceos? in about
[HTC Cavalier] pl879:
The next step is to replace the version number of SYS?:confused:
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
yup with rose sys ... but hv to research on the stability issue 1st :(
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
Calling all beta testers

New beta 5 for testing
[HTC Cavalier] lhickin:
Sure, CEOS is 5.2.20757 (Build 19208.1.0.1) :)
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
so the xip ver is 20757 :D
[HTC Cavalier] pl879:
I update now,But CEOS is 5.2.20279(Build 19208.1.0.1)????

XIP&SYS Why does not 20757?
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
i am changing it to xip 20279 to see the stability issue does it exist or not. SYS i havent change it yet ... all will be done after the stability solved

so pls report back after using it a while
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
working well on my dopod..will observe further.. still has some problems with the settings though..hope you can also solve the a2dp issue..still the same with your customised rom..
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
problem in setting as in?

hopefully after porting the Rose SYS the a2dp issue will be solved
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
Yeah, the Accessibility option still has error it says "error in opening". But so far so good. i have no errors in messaging like the previous beta release.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
is the accessibility crucial? well just keep me posted. if all goes well i think nx step is sys porting :D
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
nope..it is not.i can live with it..A2DP..it is..it is part of my system..hehehe..:D
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
music is life eh :)

do report back the result after using it a while. if all ok nx the sys
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
I wanna be out of this no more, so took the ROM and flashed it onto my Cava mins ago. Things've been good so far, except the Accessibility issue. One more minor one though, is that occasionally the two softkey texts just disappear with no trace when I'm in Start Menu, maybe it's just a glitch. Guess it's time to move onto the next sys thingie:D
[HTC Cavalier] lhickin:
Hummmm.....after upgrade to Beta5, still seeing some of the same issues on my HTC device (Accessibility Panels not working, Errors from Chome Configurator etc..but nothing serious).

Defintely more stable than Beta 4 but I have still had a couple of lock-ups in the last 24 hours - mostly in messsaging tasks - writing new SMS and checking exchange Email.

Happy to keep trying new builds......if there is any specific debug information you need us to provide to you - let me know ! :)
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
thx all 4 the feedback guess the porting works just maybe there r some minor issue wz the old bj2 sys.

btw could u all state ur dev as in htc or dopod? since mine is dopod & using its oem folder.

maybe ill go to the sys porting nx

the odd thing is i have not encounter the dissapearing softkeys or the text prob or maybe i just dont use my cava as often
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
mine is a dopod also and did not encounter any dissapearing softkeys.. i wonder.. since it came from the same manufacturer which is HTC
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Mine is a Dopod too, and the disappearing softkey texts don't always occur, it's occasional and a soft-reset always resolves it. Maybe it's because there's some sort of caching issue or glitch or something, either ways, it's not a big matter though. I do have this kind of issue with my Axim X51v too, either on a good final ROM or beta state one.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
since tis rom is based on dopod maybe something is diff in htc that is why some glithes happening.

so after using the beta rom till now is there any major upset?

or i can start on the sys porting? bare in mind that sys porting can make the setting not work like the last rom which i did wz moto q sys.

cava is a bit diff frm excalibur since porting sys on it is a bit easier.

regards
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
There's no major issue to me, so I guess it's fine to get to the next stage.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
for that i have to get my kitchen ready :D
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Bring it on man, here we go...:D
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
beta 6

Try tis whether it can boot or not .... wz new sys frm rose
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Ok, I'm downloading right away. Stay tuned for my annoying bug report If any:D
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
A quick report before me going to bed:D:

The interface of the flash wizard when flashing the ROM seems screwed, I couldn't even read a damn word. So, had to use my exp to wander thru...To the point:

+ The phone boots up, but during the first boot its screen goes dark with no way of lightening it up; the light is on again a few secs later though. I did the second HR to confirm this.

+ The Accessibility applet doesn't open, as before. Some sort of loading issue.

I'll keep you posted later, gotta go to bed to recover some health now, it's waaaaaayyy late...yawn...

Edit: Oh, and I do love the new interface of this Rose ROM, it looks more pro and sleek.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
whoaa u stay up late just to be the 1st to try my beta ;). Flash screen skrew up? that can be fixed.

Does it show the dopod splash screen or just come dark then light then dark then winmobile screen?

how bout other settings? can it be open & used?

rose do have a new interface. could u be kind enough to post screen shot? pls use vito screenshot since others wont work

thx
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Well, because you said you had your kitchen ready, so I thought the ROM would be out very soon, and it fortunately was:D. Just half an hour more I guess, any way who wouldn't want to be the first to try something new, right? About the screen going dark, it happens between the two other screens, first the Dopod splash stays for a while->dark (10s approximately)-> light up with the familiar green WM screen.

When done configuring the usual stuff, it gets to the Home screen as usual; this time it uses HTC Home as I see it in the Home setting, which feels sleek and pro, very nice (I'll post some screenies latter). About the error, here are some that I found:

+ Sadly, the HTC Home doesn't work properly. After a while, it says the layout setting can't be loaded, will try to photograph its face later.

+ Contacts shows both SIM and phone contacts (maybe it's just a twist in the reg to toggle this). But having so many "duplicated things" is not very comfortable.

+ Accessibility applet is not opened. Settings can't be loaded.

+ Sounds applet is not opened.

+ Profiles applet can be opened, but can't be edited. Sounds familiar?

+ Beam option under Connections applet can't be saved when checked.

+ Java manager now works better, at least I can install Opera Mini 4.2. Guys, this new Opera Mini version is great, faster and more responsive, If you want to try out, it's located here: http://www.operamini.com/download/ It's better, but still, there's another even better alternative, If you cruzzmz could intergrate it into the ROM, it'd be outstanding. I uploaded it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zzmhnyggzn0

+ Audio Manager doesn't work, the error says it can't find "AudioManager" (or one of its components). Maybe wrong path or file name.

+ Quick Notes doesn't work, the same as Audio Manager.

+ I again meet up with the softkey texts disappering annoying bug:mad: (Note: Only when being in Start Menu).

A thumb up for this new ROM for its speedily responsive, quite faster than before. Also, now after the ROM flashing, the device is app unlocked, so it's ready to install apps, which is better than b4. Some of my apps won't install though, maybe they're just old enough to get retired.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
very nice feedback

The screen thingy i think is not a big problem, does it happen regular after softreset?

+ The HTC home does work but then not working,

not sure why maybe not compatible with the resolution???

+ Contacts shows both SIM and phone contacts (maybe it's just a twist in the reg to toggle this). But having so many "duplicated things" is not very comfortable.

Maybe coz of simmanager in the rom will try to remove it or better if someone can give a reg tweak

+ Accessibility applet is not opened. Settings can't be loaded.

+ Sounds applet is not opened.

+ Profiles applet can be opened, but can't be edited. Sounds familiar?

+ Beam option under Connections applet can't be saved when checked.

This were the things i faced when using the old Moto Q rom, maybe the xml is not working ... have to ask someone to took a look

+ Java manager now works better, at least I can install Opera Mini 4.2. Guys, this new Opera Mini version is great, faster and more responsive

Cool will try to integrate ur given link

+ Audio Manager doesn't work, the error says it can't find "AudioManager" (or one of its components). Maybe wrong path or file name.

+ Quick Notes doesn't work, the same as Audio Manager.

Dunno why hv to check the source files

+ I again meet up with the softkey texts disappering annoying bug:mad: (Note: Only when being in Start Menu).

Ehmmmmm

anyway thanks for the detail report
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
No, it only happens after the first HR.

You only need to change ShowSIM value from 1 to 0, then it works the way it's supposed to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone:ShowSIM

Cool, pls do it, I know lots of us here would love to have both better Java Manager and OperaMini pre-intergrated.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
did u try opening the setting one by one to see which one is working & which is not?

how bout stability?

The blank screen after flashing or HR is normal i guess ;)
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
A few pics

Here are a few pics guys

We got a new weather forecast center here:D
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Some more

Here we go

As you all can see, the pro look comes from HTC Home, unfortunately it's not working very perfect now. We also got a new utility, Audio Booster, which requires a headset plugged in to function. The Contacts app is also no longer showing SIM contacts after I twisted the unit's registry:D
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Sure. The same for all other apps/tools.

Overall, it's pretty stable so far (of course except the ones that are not working), and it's really speedier.

Probably, I just feel it's odd If it's meant to do so:rolleyes:
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
meaning that all the setting wont work? :(

BTW does HTC Album work?

how bout phone canvas?

from ur screen shot :

CEOS 5.2.1238 (build 20279.1.3.4) .... so it is not using the latest ported xip ehmmmm
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Nope, just the ones I pointed out don't work, the others seem OK. By HTC Album, you mean Pictures and Videos? If so, it works fine. Phone canvas??? Sorry, I don't exactly get you. And, this ROM is not using the latest ported XIP? You ported it, didn't you? If so, how come the OS is not using it? Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff:(
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
somehow the latest xip is not present :confused: Could u try the ROM b7 since i think i ve inserted the new xip to it

TIA

maybe this is phone canvas

HTC Album

odd since i did a cab with quicknote and it is working fine
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
OK, thanks for your explanation about canvas. It's working OK here. Just remember to blur your private information next time, mate (my advice, just in case). It's strange, I don't find anything looking like the one you posted about HTC Album, that looks terrific. The b6 Album looks exactly the same as before. I'm downloading b7 right now and giving it a rub:D Later mate!
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
that screen shot is nt frm me i copy it. b7 actually just to see the xip patching work or not basicly u will hv a new ceos ver. will try to find out where is the album files
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
Extracted Packages

Here will be links to extracted Rose packages which has been tested on Cavalier

Rose HTC Album

QuickNotes
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
quick report:

on my DOPOD C730:

OS is now 5.2.20279 (build 20279.1.3.4)

wifi works

bluetooth cannot open
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
bummer if BT doesnt work :(

how bout other settings?

Found out that the old rom has Audio Manager .... can somebody confirm it?
[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
CRUZZ YOU ARE LIKE THE CAVALIER GOD!!! Get my location to work and I will jump ship in a heartbeat!!!!! :)
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
audio manager?..yeah it does..accessibility has some xml errors when opening.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
b8 is coming

to all beta tester, thanks for the support

a new b8 is coming ....
[HTC Cavalier] Rolandml:
both 6 and 7 beta version BT doent work...and the sound settings is not working.. the first time that I installed beta 7 it just rebooting but after reinstalling it again it load the beta 7.

currently using beta 5 and it's working properly.
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
b8 is available!!!

I'm downloading the b8 and gonna do the flashing right now. Will post some pics about this new ROM and report any possible encountered bugs soon.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
hopefully it will boot & the setting will work :finger crossed:
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
b5 using new ported xip only ... all other remains like the 1st ported wm6.1 rom ... so it should work
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
b8's bugs and pics!

OK, b8 still has us some issues so far, here they are:

+ The booting screen still goes blank at first boot. No big deal.

+ WelcomeCenter doesn't open, seems to be a shortcut problem.

+ Big bad news: Settings doesn't even open up. "The settings could not be opened".

+ QuickNotes and AudioManager still show their familiar error, won't agree to open.

+ The Home screen layout error is still present here, but I can't take its photo. It just displays fine again when I try to plug the device into my PC to take the pic.

+ Messaging slows down to a crawl when opening and using for the first time. There seems to be a memory leak of some sort, the device gets slower and slower as it's being used. A SR resets things back to be good. One more, when I have an incoming sms, the Home screen plug-in doesn't update its status, still shows no sms. Tapping on it gets the status updated.

Just my suggest: If possible, getting rid of the traditional Pictures and Videos utility may be a good idea, we now have HTC Album in this ROM. Remove it so we can add some things more useful.

The settings can't be opened, so there's no way we know what version of OS or XIP is online now. The apps that are bundled with the OS are the same, except we now have HTC Album. These are some pics about this sweet heart:):
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
Thx for the feed back ... still no go :(

Ok this time setting wont even work? last time u can open it but just a few like profile etc wont open right in the setting?

I have get rid of welcome center but the shortcut still there? :confused:

ok ill ditch quicknote since there is a cab for it ... hopefully audio manager also will have a working cab soon.

will cook up b9 tomorrow but still need someone to help to get the setting up & running
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Yeah, it won't even work now.

Maybe something is still there somewhere, pls take another careful look mate.

So the settings seem to be the ones causing much trouble. Getting it back to the right track, and we're almost done.

And, pls also note the Home Screen layout error, it's causing so much annoyance, and some times it causes glitches so I can't even go to Start menu. The trouble is that this error happens so much often now. Pls do something about this as well.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
Home scrren layout error? does this happen before or worst on b8?
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
This happened before, as I reported on the first beta ROM (in this thread, the ROM from the other thread dedicated to the first WM6.1 ROM didn't suffer from this error). It seems to get slightly worse than previous ROMs. I guess maybe HTC Home is not fully integrated or it lacks some components.
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Hey mate, this may be good news, the Profiles seems to be working OK. I tap on Profiles plug-in on the Home Screen and it launches, and changes are saved successfully. Why haven't I tried this b4?:o So, maybe the other setting-related items work too, just the Settings itself doesn't work. The new sys seems to resolve the settings problem...partially.:rolleyes:
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
Settings itself doesnt work meaning that when u go Start-->Setting, u will get error right?

As for tapping the Home screen Profile, it work fine?

How bout sound etc that can be access by Home screen?

Now I am really :confused:

well anyway b9 is coming :D
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Right, and "it" here is Profiles only. After tapping Profiles on Home Screen, tapping on Settings still doesn't do the job.

Well, Profiles is the only setting-related item I see on Home screen. As b9 is coming, let's hope the probs are solved.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
ROM b9 is up

actually u can scroll to left right on the home screen ...not sure now can do it or not?

well b9 is up ... hopefully all will be ok
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
I got you here the Home layout error

Downloading b9 now, hope all be fixed;)
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Quick report:

Audio Manager and Quick Notes works now, only Settings doesn't. Messaging works faster also. I gotta go get some rest now, will do more tomorrow. See ya all!

Cheers
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Thanks for the infor, ibega. However, Settings can not be reached now, so I'll have to try the tip later when it is.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
R there any new issues that u r facing from the b9 rom?
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Fortunately no new so far, now the most annoying one is the Home screen layout error, apart from the Settings. So basically, they're the two that need fixing now. Oh, I forgot to say, the new beta ROMs are all not pre-app-unlocked. I still have to use the tool to get it unlocked prior to installing apps.

I don't know If this's right, but the System Information in Task Manager (the one that is in the root Start Menu folder) shows that the OS's sys is 20279, not 20282. Here's the pic:
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
ehmm ... still 20279 ... since u cannot access the about then we could not be too sure of the ver ... thx anyway
[HTC Cavalier] nht_max:
Probably, it's the infor in the Task Manager just so you know. Anyway, we've progressed, hopefully everything's gonna be OK eventually.
[HTC Cavalier] hurrywolf:
about b9

seting still cant open
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
b10 is up

b10 is up .... beta tester do ur magic ;)
[HTC Cavalier] hurrywolf:
you are crazy！！！:D:D
[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn You Guys Are On Fire!!!!!
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
same errors as before for B10. Homescreen errors, settings errors, cannot turn on bluetooth either by the com manager or the bluetooth manager. OS version still at 5.2.20279(build 20282.1.3.6)..oh forgot to mention no support either to a2dp..:p
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
thanks for the feedback

setting error meaning that u cant event access the setting? also taping on the sound etc at home screen also return error? or u can access certain settings only?

os ver is correct now xip 20279 sys 20282. still stuck at the setting issues :(
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
:p i can access the settings. there is an error in the accessibility option where it says" error in opening the accessibility.cpl.xml"..
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
homescreen would always "froze" when you on standby:p
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
so all the item in setting is accessible? including profile, sound, BT?
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
yup your exactly right, im using dopod c730 version im not sure for the htc or the softbank version phones anyway. Its the accessiblity that having an error. Also, there is no option in the connection>bluetooth tab where you will turn on the bluetooth. it only shows the "set as wireless" and "com port" option. There's no turn on bluetooth and set as visible option and nothing else.
[HTC Cavalier] cruzzmz:
no BT? that is odd :confused:

how bout profile can set silent, vibrate, etc?

ringtone can be changed?

comm manager can be accessible?

prob now no BT & homescreen error? or freeze?
[HTC Cavalier] blackheartxix:
working:

1. Comm manager is accessible

2. Ringtone can be changed

3. Profile can also be changed

errors:

1. Homescreen freeze and cannot access start menu

2. Accessbility error but like i said i can live with it.:p

3a.Bluetooth cannot be switch-on on comm manager

3b.Bluetooth cannot be switch-on on settings>connection>bluetooth>bluetooth devices. The only option that can be seen is the "1.com ports" and "2.set as hands free".

;P
