about the running slow:

The WM6.5 introduced a new feature called layered-window, and this feature make the menu animation looks better, but it brings problem to i600, i600 is a quite old model, and the display driver "ddi.dll" has conflict with the WM6.5. that's why the i600 with wm6.5 runs slow after the screen shut down to save power, especially when you go to some menu with sub-menu.

how to slove this problem:

choice 1: ask samsung to modify the ddi.dll for wm6.5. (mission impossible)

choice 2: disable the layered-windows feature in the Regedit, but this will ring a new problem, the wm6.5 waitcursor will be very ugly..

choice 3: disable the layered-windows feature, meanwhile, replace the wm6.5waitcursor with the wm6.1 one. This is what PY8 did in his rom.

By the way, PY8's wm6.1 rom is perfect, bluetooth, internet sharing.. all right!

disable imput chinese text

can u help pls how u disable chinese text imput in py8 rom?

Done!! press * and 5 option
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] lukas_ita:
can someone post any screenshot of this new rom, please??

or can i emulate its on my pc with an emulator???
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] cloisonne:
Thanks for your great efforts!

The problems:

1. HSDPA Cannot turn on?

2. Sometimes very slow. I guess it was due to "layered windows" option?

For py8's rom I also tried, it has turned "layered windows" off so speed is quite ok, but the problem is wifi. Very unstable. Sometimes cannot turn on.

Hi nokser

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] hdragun:
@sahcan44

you need to app unlock your phone, connect it to activesync or wmdc and get the sda unlock app from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=373229 run it and you should be able to install any cab

@cloisonne

HSDPA and 3G seem to work fine no noska's rom, my phone company only lets me use 3g and HSDPA not normal GSM, and i get data and a connection.

Noska's rom is quite stable when you disable layered windows, google for ceRegEditor, install it, connect your phone and do a search for layered-windows, set the value to 0.

The wait curser is ugly, so i got MWC3 to replace it.

summarize WM6.5's bug and fixes

Let's try to summarize bugs and fixes of Nokser's WM6.5 ROM:

Slow display: fixed

disable layered windows in registry : HKEYlocal_machine\system\gwe "Enablelayeredwindows"=dword:0​

Bad wait cursor: fixed

replace with WM 6.1 cursor (HOW? WHERE TO FIND IT?)

install MWC3 cursor management application

Difficult to turn on WiFi:

workaround 1: Settings --> Connections

workaround 2: launch old CommManager in windows folder, wrlsmgr.exe (WORKS?)

Some keyboard problems in Total Commander and Internet Explorer : CONFIRMED?

Problems with camera (keys and saving): CONFIRMED?

i600 seems to work only in 3G mode, no GSM or HSDPA: CONFIRMED?

Cannot turn on Internet Connection Sharing: CONFIRMED?

Cannot connect via ActiveSync (unrecognised usb device):

workaround suggested: turn off advanced network functionality in settings-connections-USB (WORKS?)​

Any other?

i600 seems to work only in 3G mode, no GSM or HSDPA: CONFIRMED?Mine defaults to normal GSM, think it depends on the network, I'm on vodacom in South Africa, but there is no way to toggle between the modes, that is the main issue

different versions and functionality

Dear All,

I've been watching this thread for some time now and came to a bit dissapointing conclusion (am I right ?) that despite all effort there is no fully functional modified ROM for i600 to this day.

There are issues, and some of them unresolved with WiFi, Bluietooth, GSM/WCDMA, Internet conn.sharing and properly functioning keyboard.

Since there are numerous versions of both 6.1 and 6.5 ROM's and a lot of users complaining of various bugs here and there in this thread and numerous answers of wich some really work and some does not and some of these written in..uh... little bit hard-to-understand english :)

I feel it would be nice to compile a nice, comprehensive list of what indeed DOES NOT work in one or another ROM and what can or can not be fixed by end user. Like a FAQ or Wiki or smthng...

What do All think? Nokser?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] buteo:
It's just what I tried in my previous post. I tried to compile a list of bugs and (possibly) fixes, to help Nokser making a better ROM.

I saw two bugs confirmed from another user. No more news until now.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] iattone:
Thank you Nokser for you job.

I hope that you cook a new rom with italian language.

My device work better then before with your new Rom. Only, for me and many italian user, would be even better if the rom were in Italian.

Thanks anyway for your job.

Issues

Hi all,

I've been using version 6.1 and got no problems. Today i updated to 6.5 and so far, the only problem i have is with the num button. Example, in messenger my password has numbers and i can't change from letters to numbers. Any ideas?

The wheel app is not working and i'm getting very slow sms writing.

BTW GOOD JOB on the ROM !!!! Overall is great!

Thanks in advance,

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] keff:
Cannot install any software (any installation, to both internal storage & memory card ends as unsuccessfull) - this is after clean install of 6.5 ROM, only activesync partnership created, switched Locale to Czech, and Windows Marketplace installed (uninstalling Marketplace did not help). I tried rebooting as well.

Keyboard: the menu that appeared after holding a start button (xT9 language and Symbols) is missing - impossible to write a symbol that's not on the keyboard

Keyboard: By default, in every text field the letters write in uppercase, and numbered keys write numbers (QW112233OP instead of qwertyuiop) - I have to press Fn once in every text field to swith to normal mode

Keyboard: When searching for contacts from homescreen (quick dial), or form contacts, the numbered keys behave as in 9way keypad - meaning that Q searches for contacts with Q, but T or Y is mapped to 2 and searches for contacts with A,B or C, U/I maps to D,E,F, etc...

Cannot confirm camera settings - the bottom task bar does not contain the usual Done/Cancel buttons

The 6.5 OS 5.2.21234 Build 21234 is unusable for me, going back to 6.1...

In the end I used the chinese ROM (ZN520_[SGH-i600]WM6.5_21812_20090916), I had to add segoe/ttf and segoeb.ttf fonts to Windows\Fonts and play with font sizes to get a normal font (chinese have a smaller one by default), but that ROM is soo much better - everything is fast and just works, Bluetooth, WiFi, Internet Sharing, keyboard search in contacts... as a bonus there is a load of useful programs.

Help Needed to upgrade i600 from WM6 to WM6.1 or 6.5

Hi, can any one help me on how to upgrade samsung i600 to WM6.1 or WM6.5 (English Version)... I am finding too many builds in the initial page and I am confused which one to consider.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] s3mtex:
Hi,

I recommend you the WM6.1,v.2 with the patch that you'll find on the posts before, or try this link http://odsiebie.com/pokaz/5278373---d8d4.html. This is a ROM based on version 2 of WM6.1 by nokser and moded by AndrewSpec witch is, in my opinion, the best version of WM6.1 for Samsung i600. It also have the patch included.

If you want the WM 6.5 version, i recommed to you the py8 version read the post #472, see how to change language in english and post #478 to disable chinese text input. After that you'll still need to change some applications to be fully in english.

Unfortunately, from some while, none of the Samsung i600 developers haven't made an updated version for WM6.5, a new version with the best thinks from both ROM's (nokser and py8). To bad!

P.S. Use a backup program, like SPB Backup, to fully backup your smartphone (files, settings, contacts...all) and if you want to comeback to 6.0 you will have all like before after you will instal the new ROM. It works even on ROM updates.

application unlock i600 after update to wm6.5

Hightecher,

How did you unlock your i600.

Sda-unlock gives an error that it doesn't have the right permissions.

Then I tried regeditSTG2.cab which is digitally signed from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=373229

But as soon as I want to change anything it gives an error that it can't be changed.

Thank you in advance.

I like the 6.5 version from nokser so far, although I miss:

- Symbolls

- SD-card in i600 as USB mass storage device setting (edit 2009-10-26: WM5 storage works perfect: wm5torage_189beta2.cab . PM me if you want it. Can't find it on the web anymore)

- T9 for Dutch

- Samsung POPUP theme. (Have to get used to the sliding panes)

Things that don't work:

- Smart choice of letters or numbers. For exampel when starting to write a message you would expect it would start in 'letters' mode in stead of 'number' mode.

- manual switch between GSM(GPRS) and UMTS/HSDPA mode

- Disable/enable data and 3G option in Communication manager.

- No image thumnails

- Search Widget gives an 'riahost' error, so you can't search through your contacts info. bummer. Also 'contact search v 1.2' doesn't work after installation. It just crashes.

- internet connection sharing seems not to work.

application unlock i600 after install wm6.5

I found the solution.

Security Configuration Manager from Microsoft:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/e/0/ee050170-bb0e-492a-aa9e-8f82bc2e1c5e/Setup.msi

It can't be easier... pff.

Now I can finally turn of the multi layer stuff. The speed of my phone and battery life were not so bad with this function on so far.

So now it will all be even better.

The only thing I really want to find is the option for T9 and the 'symbols'"

I am going to install any one of WM6.1 Std roms on my i600. Before that I wanna know which of them is considered the best or most stable with the least bugs?

I don't want to read through the posts so hope someone could advice. thx!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] buteo:
Do you mean installing again those aplications?

After that, what does works and what does not in PY8's rom? What about Wi-fi, bluetooth, activesync?

Please share your experience.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] s3mtex:
Something like that. All seems to work in PY8 ROM, inclusive Wi-Fi, Buletooth, activesync... The only problem is that even after you will change the language in english, some applications menu are still in chinese (the ones included in the ROM)

Example: Task manager is default replace with "CeleTask" and even in english, his menu is in chinese. You need to install CeleTask, and copy the executable file "CeleTask.exe" from this installation folder to windows folder and replace the original chinese executable. After that the menu is in english. After that, you can uninstall the application installed by you cuz you'll have 2 identical apps.

The same think is for default Explorer which is replaced by "Resco Explorer", the Notepad which is replaced by Orneta Notepad...

But not all application have this problem. The original windows application are correct displayed.

Here is a small video with my actual WM6.5 PY8 ROM.Link. Note that most of apps are installed by me. I forgot the write a SMS section.
