Well, duh!?! Where do we get it?

Just kidding, I would be happy to put my phone at your disposal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:

I'll have it up as soon as i get it booting :) i have all day to work on it so it should be up soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hemendra05:

Well I will be happy to do that. ;):D

Really nice build, but can someone explain me how to get the "device-lock" on the main screen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
cool, going on flash3 hope to have it booting soon :) anryl and jerpeala have helped in porting so it will run pretty good
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WildnMN:

Hi all, been running the manilla2d V15 (3G) for the past week or so and here are my findings......Hope they help some of you with Q's......

Battery life, I'm getting around 48 hours between charges on lite use. Around 24 hours when using apps, like music player and making occassional calls.

All apps seem to be working, but slight annoyances occur when switching between internet and touchflo. Opera appears to shut touchflo, (Maybe it's supposed to do this to conserve battery life, but it is annoying to have to restart (NOT HARD/SOFT RESET) it everytime when internet is selected!) plus it will lose connection intermittently rendering the connection useless.

I much preferred opera lite, as with this one it tends to display everything on the screen and has awkward zoom controls that dont appear to work so well (maybe its only on my phone???) which more often than not closes opera (though doesnt close the connection!) and requires touchflo to be restarted.

Other than that it is by far the best ROM I have used. I'm going to try the lite version and just install the apps I use most and see if there are any improvements in battery life.

Kudos to you Josh and all the other chefs who've helped along the way. BTW, would it be possible for chefs to include the reported approx battery life/stability etc in the D/L page as I think it is one of the most useful bits of info when deciding any upgrades.

Warm Regards and keep cooking.......

dialer display

hi there,

after using Josh M2d rom for two weeks, i feel comfortable ad very satisfied on it's performance. However, i'm quite incomfortable regarding to the dialer which displayed 3 lines of contact and recent call history.. is there any suggestion on how to change the dialer appearance.. i've install many types of dialer but however, the recent call still displayed on the 3 rows appearance. if any of u could suggest what should i do to disable those recent call history and contact appearance on the dialer.. i feel great if it could appear like the Faria 32 display or like the shipped HTC rom dialer that only display the recent call history and suggested contact when we press the button number..

look forward for any response.. thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ferretlife:
Dialer

I use the 3G versions of Josh's ROM's for that reason. I don't have a need for video calling, but I much prefer the usability and look of the 3G vs the 2G dialer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
WM 6.5 Test HERE

so yea, it's buggy and still very early beta but i'm liking it.

SIP busted,

Autorun needs to be launched by clicking on sdautorun in the windows dir

Also if you need device update you can install via CRCDU.cab in the windows dir.

kareem9nba used 5.0.31.81, and its working very well in his roms

maybe josh used the same version for his?

every preview versions didnt work for me tho...31.81 works tho^^

the roms don't come with mms installed, you will need to download it from device update before running connection setup

the hard reset from start>settings>clear storage dosnt work after you put the 1234
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
thanks for catching that clear storage issue.. i'll backdate it to a earlier version on test 4 tomorrow. yea i'm not sure how to disable the cell menu's. u can modify the content by browsing to them in file explorer.

Thanks dude, i totally appreciate you testing.. test3 will be on post 6 in about 5 minuets
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
post 6 now contains the best and most stable 6.5 test 3 build so far.. see you guys tomorrow for more fixes and test builds :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mountainmark:
Thanks so much Josh.. blutooth is now working well, i have noticed that some of the keyboard special keys has been rumbled like ( ?, ! , @ , - , " , :) is there any appl;ication to run to fix this things?

Thanks,

Waiting for the new wm6.5 of Master Josh. Sundream made this wm6.5 but still wanted to run the new wm6.5 made by Josh cant wait to see this thing in my HERMES.

Hope its equip with yahoo messenger too hehehe Does anyone knows how to put yahoo messenger in wm6.1?

Thanks in advance

Keyboard

because the keyboard layout is for At&t by default use Advance Config and change it english then reset device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Time to try me some WM6.5 ;) Ill let you know what happens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Sweeeeet dude!!!

beta3 so far is best and most stable. i hope to have beta4 today sometime if it's not to busy at work :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Notes:

DU doesnt work, seems WM6.5 does something to the Device ID, Ill see what CRC has to say when hes awake

Its fast, the today UI, and the honycomb isnt, but the OS feels responsive

The new scollbars are nice

There isnt much antilaisashing on fonts and grathics yet

It feels like the Hermes doesnt have enough grathics grunt, maybe it will get better as it gets out of beta

The new Device lock is fantastic, so much better

Screen shots upcoming.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yep, device update worked for the most part for me.. did you install the latest from windows dir? or his site.. it errored out at the end though but installed everything for me.. yep.. i agree with you, hoping to get it working better :) i can do it.. oh and i was chatting with crc last night, he's got my 6.5 kitchen and will most likely be working on it today maybe :) getting a team effort going here :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I couldn't find one in the windows dir, let me try again.

Hehe, glad to here it ;)

If we can run M2D, there must be a way to get this smooth.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
totally, it's all a matter of compatibility, i was reading on the chinese xbeta sites that this build works good when driver compatibility issues are resolved
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
pic:

Notes:

Outlook live never got anywhere then crashed the device for me.

To unlock you slide the blue thing to the side.

If you have something like a sms or a voice mail and you tap the blue lock thing a icon pops up, as in Device lock pic 2.

If you slide that icon to the side it calls the voice mail or displays the inbox.

When thinking about a HTC phone, the word drivers makes me worry :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thank you thank you thank you thank you veyka!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
More than welcome! Sorry they are a bit rough and ready, I just chucked it together in paint :P

Anything else you want screenshots of?

Note: It might be that the server side stuff for outlook live, isnt live yet. Also just tried it again, seems it was the load of activesync on the phone that made closing outlook live crash everything, as it didnt crash just now, still didn't connect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
dude your awesome!! thats cool more than perfect job dude! :) much appreciated!! i just released on that pdaviet site for them :) hehe see how they like it ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
The new look is really good. And the touch scrolling works really well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
i agree, i love it dude! minus the little quirks that can be worked out. and that damn honeycomb menu lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
The Honeycomb is nice, butt.. slow :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emugpp:
woho! WM 6.5 on the Hermes! sweet, this will make the wait for my contact renewal +new phone feel shorter..I hope to see a diamond-sized phone with a proper headphone jack and a better camera! HTCs line-up show's some interesting devices coming in half a year..until then, my good old hermes will suffer a lot of flashing :)

Anyone give the new pointui2 a try?? i've been a little distracted running this thing today i must admit.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
yes, i tried it already. It's fast and nice but need to much memory. Over 8mb when it run.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
it runs very smooth on my test 4 windows mobile 6.5 :) that i'm uploading. u just need to disable titanium.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] justgotusedto1.1:
Point UI

I think this is a great program although it could do with a Contacts / Calendar shortcut on the home screen.

BTW, Thanks to JoshKoss, your ROMS are the best.:)

What are the differences between 6.1 and 6.5?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:

When Weather Widget is selected status box says :-"'riahost' is not a valid Pocket PC application"

When trying to launch Comm Manager we get :-"Memory low: Comm Manager cannot be launched.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
mind rebooting and try again? did you turn off titanium and reboot then enable pointui and reboot?? thats odd i didn't get that
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rojam_designs:
Reboot only worked for the Comm Manager problem thanks. Still a-no-go on the weather widget.

oh yknow it requires data is internet connected? i'm assuming so huh. sorry for stupid question.

No it was not a stupid ques. you were just going thro' various scenarios. And yes the hermes is online.

waiting..

downloading now, interested to see what 6.5 is all about..will feed back later
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mesh:
Josh, first of thanks for a great Rom! Two small issues though.

1. I'm missing the AM/PM in the clock, alarm and calander section in the rom?

2. My 8GB Sandisk SDHC card is not recognized?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arty:
just a question, does 6.5 support this feature?

when u plugin your headphones it recognizes it and starts a audio player? just like S2U2 and S2P?

if not, is it possible to deactivate the build-in screen lock manually, so you can have S2U2 running?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
S2U2 should work the same as ever, just bind a key to or softkey to S2U2 rather than the inbuilt device lock.

And I don't know about the headset, I have never used my Hermes as a mp3 player, im allergic to extUSB headphones :( (As in they sucks so hard + I have broken so many usb ports on other phones by using that kinda headset)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kevinkevin:
Hi, sorry for asking a stupid question, Does these ROMs (both WM6.1 & 6.5) include 3G dialer inside? thx

Titanium seems to be really slow for me... anyone else with this issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hemendra05:
2G Opal Canvas !!!!

Most of the Roms here contains the best & my personal favorite OPAL 2G Canvas dialer. Roms with 3G dialers are also available on the same pages( Post 1 to post 4) WM6.5 with 2G dialers only.

on the bluetooth showing weird symbols issue, it's due to shellres.dll.409.mui being translated from 804 chinese to 409 english.. to fix it, it will require hex editing which i'm not too good at. :)

Arcsoft MMS

Hey guys,

I'm running the M2D version of this ROM on an 8525. When I try to install either version of ArcsoftMMS from Device Update, it fails with the error message 'Shell Returned Code - 2147467259.' Google didn't really turn up anything useful. Any thoughts?

Great job on all your roms! I'm impressed with 6.5. Really responsive. Know you are working on the bugs. Keep up the awsome cooking!!!

any mirror download sites?

Sucks being a newbie sticking their nose into the relms of you heavy hitters, but two questions actually: Is there a mirror site to download the ROMs from. I keep running into a message telling me that my IP is already downloading a file...has been saying that since last night. Two, I REALLY like the interface that comes from TouchFlo from your 6.1 ROM...anyway to still utilize it, not that I'm slamming Titanium at all :)

Thanks guys. You certainly keep this stuff interesting.

Great work to Josh et. al. for the 6.5 port! Even in its beta state it performs nicely for me. here are a couple of screen shots of bugs/anomalies that i noticed.

screen02: next appointment text is really really small on the lock screen

screen03: appointment reminders/alarms pop up a bit low on the screen

these aren't stopping me from using the rom, its great...man, i love shiny new things

how's activesync and push-mail on 6.5? does the majority of things work, calls and texting? might give it a try this weekend then :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cminion:
Have been playing with it for a while and I like it, though I havent posted here before ive played around with updating roms from this site for years.

Activesync works fine havent tried pushmail. Googly Sync works fine.

I do find that it runs out of RAM rather quickly, though im not sure what can be done about that. Ive turned off titanium to save some memory, though it is very nice.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diegolaz:

is 6.5 more "heavy" in terms of space and memory?

thanks!

EXCELLENT HARD WORK!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Thanks mate, fixed that pesky problem alright...:D:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
i've noticed the lock screen/functionality (WM6.5) is sketchy (yes i know you said it was buggy). If you have the screen locked and you get a call the OS dialer and the lock program call screen (answer, ignore, caller id) tend to crash into each other. The OS dialer tries to take over but right as you slide to answer the lock screen takes the priority and you end up hitting ignore.

Not a big deal as I can use the green phone button. Just wanted to report this.

Also, ActiveSync seems to have stopped working, throws some vague error code; support code 0x80070057. This may have been something I did, can't really be sure. Looks like I'll hard reset tomorrow and see what happens.

Great ROM

I must admit, I never thought I'd find a ROM that would replace Pays ROM on my Hermes...

But, I think your ROM just changed that!!!!

However, I am having one problem with Opera, when I try to use the keyboard to type in an address/URL, the bar disappears after a few seconds, as it doesn't recognized when I'm typing...

Is there a setting I'm missing? The keyboard config was changed to english...
