Thx for your fast answers!

Well, I tried some other Task Managers but none of them worked well for me. So back to your pre-installed wktask Manager..

is it normal that no cross appears in the upper right corner after startup?

When u tap on this corner, the cross appears.. but it's gone if u get into menu and come back again.

BTW: Can i change the title bar Gradient color (active)? So it doesnt look that way anymore? I tried UITweaker for that but it didn't work!

and: why didnt you include your own "Enlarge_StartMenu" ? It's much more finger friendly ;o)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
hehe

so it's up :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
honestly with large start menu, i've noticed bugs with it.. it closes apps randomly.. at least with my roms it did. so i kept it off.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ntha82:
Another great ROM from you Josh. Memory problem is much better with 21176. I'll try device update as you mentioned in PDAViet for me. Tks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SvenKotten:
Just one question: using another comm manager i could turn of 3G, does it mean i switch to 2G or what? I don't need 3G the whole time, i use it only for getting into the german umts net (4 surfing or something)

Or where is the difference between your the 3G and the 2G version?

Excuse me4 asking such questions ;o)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thank you sir!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
well 3g usually means video dialer... u can turn it off via advanced config tool in comm manager options you can enable and then turn it off.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
that's great :)

Downloading right now, I'll see what it can do for me :D

Just tried Spider3 and it flashes fine but just sits on the "Microsoft internal use only" splash screen and does nothing. Sometimes the screen will go white and the only thing I can do to make it respond to anything is hold power down until the power off prompt appears but no matter what I press there it just freezes.

Will try the 21176 build now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WildnMN:
I had the same problem. Had flashed the stripped AT&T ROM before installing test 3. Had to flash a full original AT&T rom to make it stable. Now I'm using 21176. Stable and very responsive. :) You will enjoy this version very much. Not sure why test 3 froze on me. I always flash the stripped oem rom before installing a new rom. Especially using different chefs and different builds.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
i removed the hex background from the start menu(s) and that seems to have made it faster, since the device does not have to draw that image out.

i've attached the files in zip, just copy them to you windows directory; i'd make copies of your original ones first though. ymmv

Sorry Josh, newbie question: Your ROMs are Big Storage, right? Do you have any Normal Storage ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lorgem:

it's been over a year since I've visited these forums. I've just installed this F/W and noticed that landscape mode is basically non-existent. I'm wondering if this is an issue and if it will be addressed in subsequent builds.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] oltp:
highly appreciated fix. the original cpr is in rom, so you can just delete the new one for fallback. All these cpr files contain many goodies I see.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ciq:
I would recommend re-flashing it, if you do not have too many settings set up that you really wish to keep. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lorgem:
1st option is to hard reset your device and if still not working then you need to re flash your device :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
if you are willing to spend some time you can really tweak titanium and the start menu with the cpr files. there is some good talk about it over in the raph forums http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3304751..i posted the link for other people, since you sent me there initially :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Try the at&t stripped rom, it will flash from the phones bootloader (or sd method). Or you could get the nbh file out of your shipped rom, and flash it with the custom ruu. You can extract it with 7zip or I think winrar will too.

Are you using 6.5 too?

I can synchronize any folder. The only folder don't works is inbox. It is strange, isn't it?

if i create a subfolder under inbox and then move some messages to this folder I can sync this new folder, but my inbox folder always appears empty.

Any idea? thanks!!!!

I can't live without exchange sync too
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spook:
It's hard to know what any of these companies are thinking. With the entire world going crazy over iPhone, Palm, and Android, it's us rom flashers that are out there touting how good the Microsoft phones are.

Us having a preview version of 6.5 allows us to make those claims and have facts to back them up. Plus, having 6.5 on our older phones won't make them lose any sales, in fact, we're the ones that would be willing to go out there and buy the new Microsoft phones because we want more power to do what we're already doing.

MS should really lighten up.

I'm new in the community and already tested two of your builds, I'm having a lot of trouble on figuring out which releases are newer than others (builds???), but I think I getting the hang of it... I recently tried build 21176 (yeah I found it yesterday), but it seems kinda slow, I wuz using the Manilla 2d Colored Version (Build???), and I wanted to try Hex (build???), but that link... I couldn't find :(... Anyways thanks for the great builds and I hope to see the Winter 2 soon! By the way, I can't seem to find the great spider wallpaper, I'm stuck with the peacock (or whatever it is). Congrats by the way!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Hey people - you always after each flash really should make a hard reset... why? 'cause noone seems to remember, but hard reset procedure involves FORMATTING your DOC - and now when we have all those rbs-nonrbs-whatever roms we really should put a little attention to that...

I'm always performing formatting after a fresh flash - and that way I have never had any problems...

btw, I really don't like when people keep saying that using "Clear Storage' application is a way of performing a hard-reset :| please keep in mind what I said above.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yep, hard reset is a hard reset.. do it for stability purposes :)

can i get some help to take out my hermes from bootloader stuck problem ?

initially had CRC Rom installed . Then i tried to flash using Josh' s 21176_Test1 rom . The update utility failed after 2% was over. Then tried to restore only to find the phone stuck after showing CRCs ROM Loading Boot Screen.

USB cant be detected through update utility. i have tried but still no use.

Please suggest some tip to overcome problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
grab the oem rom nbh file, rename it to hermimg.nbh copy onto a 512 or smaller minisd and insert into the phone, put into boot loader and hit power key..

Lemme know if that works man! ;)

thats first splash screen... no tri color screen, you need to hold down, power, ok, and press reset pin button at same time to get into boot loader mode. from there plug in and flash.

IPL 1.04

SPL 1.40 olipro

any suggestions ???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Radical_MT:
is that all the error message?

take battery off for 15 sec. place it back. hold down pwr - ok buttom at the same time as you press reset buttom.

when in tri bar mode... make sure it says usb at the bottom. then run flashing program. select spl /2.02/2.10 etc and go from there
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chotaneo:

Hi! josh

I liked this rom very much. But there are few queries/ observation -

1) I suppose this is not a big storage rom in this case extedned rom should have been there. I even tried adding extended Rom but it is not visible afer flashing.

2)SetAcousticParam.cab is inculded in OS but there is no enty to execute the same in config .txt. I didnt find setacoustic getting loaded.

3) HTC alum works only in Landscape mode ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
suppoused to be like that men!

The album comes from OPAL Too and is landscape only jejeje so... use the htc album fixed or pics and vids original.

I dont know much about Extended ROM but this is big storage rom course because it has almos 3X mb and is lite Version! imagine that hahaha... maybe in the light version we have more than that. ( but Im testing the prebeta for Darkwinter and it only has 54 mb storage and for program 27 at first hard reset... booting.

set acousticparam.cab ... it seems you dont read everything first on the V1 witout fixi for the IRDA it has acoustic param but high volume and start sound becomes in new fixed version so... maybe if you want it ... RUN iT! :) ask Josh how to run the cab or something i think its not posible cause in Coustomization appears to be preconfig adapattion at coocking... so... copy the cab to your UC... :)

Hope i answer everything.

We are waiting for your darkwinter men!!! Im testing and it seems to be great!

Im interested on add this ROM to winmodevelopers.co.cc, would you like to do it Josh? it will be a pleasure for everybody there.

You know the protocol change you need to post it on the hermes upgrading forum then I can copy it to win mo 6.1 forum... see you soon men!

I tried the Setacoustic related configuration in config.txt for the WinterROM version also ..it is makeing my phone unstable ..

Can anybody throw some light on this issue....

Eagerly waiting for the lite (Dark winter ) version....
