rename storage card to A then restart the device and the main storage card will be used, you can then safely delete the folder A. This error occurs as you removed the storage card when you ran through the initial customisation as this rom uses the storage card for default folders.

Also i aso have the wifi on/off problem, so any chance of a fix TAI. I have edited the registry to permantly disable wifi as its eating the hell out of my vbattery, apart fro this issue and g-switch throwing an error up on every restart ,its great

Thanks for the link.

I did several searches in the hermes forum and got 3 possible hits, none in TIA's thread. So I thought I' post more centrally.

This was a clean install on top of stripped ATT ROM (and maybe even on top of fresh hard_SPL_7). But I'll try flashing it again.

If I re-post elsewhere isn't' that going to peev somebody else off to?

Can't Add "New Accts." to Mail (v15)...

,,,In fact I don't think any mail type apps. work.

Every time i slide over to "MAIL" it says "no accts". A lower left button says "add account". Pushing it does nothing (Maybe I have to establish an acct somewhere else?).

Phone is arr 8525m, Manila v15 build by Tai, the latest I presume. Fresh install on top of stripped ATT rom (and maybe fres hard _slp_7.

(For what it;s worth, evey thing else works geat. This is about the 6th rom I've installed since I picked up my phone a week age and this rom is definitely my fave...but I need my email)

Thought or Ideas?

i had the same sissue my first time flashes his rom no one couls really help me with the issue. so i just used another rom and waited for the next release of his. im using v14 i believe. but i feel your pain. its a awesome rom but you need ya email and tex to work lol. as a person who had the same issue i would say jsut try another rom and wait for the next release
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
i would agree with natureboy your best bet is to try a different rom or try another release of his rom and then wait untill he brings out a newer version. some problems that appear are just random and there isnt always a explanation for them so flashin another rom may be a good idea

hope something will work out for you

Have fun with your Hermes:D

Nature Boy And Scot thanks for the replys

Naturreboy: First thanks for sharing my pain. Condolences accepted by the whole family LOL. Isn't a nice ROM? I was trying V!5 (might just be a different color of V14).

I tried re-flashing it from the ground up (SPl_7->ATT->V15) about 5 times to the point of making it a semi brick. Right now Im successfully using Manila 2D-color, every thing works great but it runs on WM 6.1 (does it Matter?) and the slider icon thing is a little hard to navigate for me

Scott; Are you saying something like a chip sourced temporarily from a different vendor in Tiapai instead of korea, or something, could just make a small production run that dosn't function with otherwise stable release?

Is there likely ro be a V16? Are people still developing for this ancient phone (Comp-tech=dog years/2...lol) ?

Thanks Again & regards,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
There are still a select few people who are still cooking roms for the hermes such as CRC i think there are a few more but alot of the chefs have moved to newer devices.

If Tai has only recently cooked your current rom then the chances are that he may have another one that he is currently working on.

as for your comment on the chip i was saying that sometimes people experience errors with certain Roms that no one else does these can usually be avoided by using stable Roms although they still happen with those.

If you can find another Rom that fulfills what it is that you want in on your Hermes then you should switch to that and wait for another version of manilla to be released. i would recommend CRC's Roms as he has naked Roms and a device updater program which lets you put the programs that you want on your Hermes.

I hope something that i have mention might help if your still unsure about anything just ask :D

As luck would have TAI released v16 today (I guess today). Works like a charm and the mail works for me. Still retains the look and feel of v15. Probably improved in more ways than I'll ever know.

What I look for is speed, style and customization and you definitely did a great job with this one. Thank you!

I've been using your V10 Black on my hermes for a while now, and I really like it. I tried tonite upgrading to the V16 Manilla, but it kept freezing on the WinMo Loading screen. I tried doing a hard reset and it still didn't work. I flashed the ATT rom first, which did run fine, but I didn't get the V16 running. any thoughts?

On a side note, what is the deal with ThumbCal on the V18 rom? It appears to be commercial 3rd party trial software. Why not use the Microsoft Calender that comes with WinMobile?

Wifi switching on and off by itself

First off, thanks for putting in the time and effort to make this ROM.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem. I have just downloaded the updated version (Update_21232_Manila_V16_WWE) on the first post, but I am still experiencing the problem with the wifi jumping on and off.

I was thrilled to see that the auto configure recognised my SIM card as UK Asda Mobile, but then disappointed when it failed to set up the right connections (so no MMS) and after the compulsory re-set, tells me that I have a new Vodafone card in there, and would I like the settings for that. I can see where it is getting confused as ASDA piggy backs on Vodafone, but it means manually resetting everything.

I'm also liking Skyfire so far and the dialer. I have high hopes for this one, if the wifi problem can get sorted (the auto configure would be great, especially as I don't know how to back up the manual gprs settings for ASDA onto the SD card).

Thanks again!:D

I have restarted the phone few times still the same issue, even i tried with taking out the SIM still the same issue, i replaced the battery even still the same.

I have placed a SIM card & when its reach the WM6.5 screen i called that SIM from the phone i am calling sounds like ringing the number however nothing in the MDA vario screen :-(

few buggs

Hi TAI or others

Is there a way to fix these bugs in Upgraded v16:

1. WiFi jumping On & Off - ( I have tried tweaking from "Advance Configuration=>WiFi Scan Interval: =value=" but value will always reset back to 20 seconds after soft reset. Comm Manager does not solve the problem. Any idea how to fix this.

2. psShutXP=>Turn Off icon does not turn the phone off but it actually puts the phone in Standby mode. So I have to use the conventional way of using Power off button to turn it off. Any pointers guys?

3.When Active Sync is connected and I turn-on "Internet Sharing" , Active Sync will be disconnected but battery still charges. => SO I can't explore the phone files while using the Hermes as an internet modem.

4. Internet Explorer is very slow whereselse it was not before this v16 Upgrade. Does switching to other browsers will help.

Any pointers guys?

Solved and working now:

1. Default to "Messaging" window after WM loaded => now default to TouchFlo-M2D. AND TouchFlo is auto launch now instead of tapping the to relaunch every now and then.

2. Horizontal TouchFlo Menu

3. Weather => except how to increase the number of cities more than the maximum 10. Any pointers guys?

4. MMS working like a charm.

5. Internet browser launcher from menu. Except facebook and youTube launcher still not working. Any idea how to remove the icons from the menu since these programs are not built-in to the ROM.

Dear Tai,

Thanks for the good work and I have been enjoying your work since you started!:)

It has been a smooth drive until V15, after I flash the rom my radio and GPRS is gone, on the boot page it shows R None and G None. I did send you a message request for assistance but I guess u were kinda busy preparing for the V16. So I waited for the V16.

After flashing the V16, My radio and GPRS still dead!:(

What should I do? I have ask some friends and they said is th hardware problem, but when I went to the repair shop and they say, since the problem started after the new rom, is the rom problem, so he advise me to re-flash the rom until I get the radio signal.

I have tried it several times but still turn out dead.

I am able to use the full function of PDA such as WiFi, Blue Tooth but not the phone.:(

Will you please be kind enought to assist me in solving this problem?
