hmm...

ok I'm sorry if this question was already asked... searched for it but no cigar...

But I read that downgrading from a higher windows mobile os to a lower is problematic... SO is it safe to revert back to ur vanillamanilla 6.1 rom after installing this one if I don't like it.... I'm not saying I don't like it... just want to make sure before I do anything I regret later... again sorry if this is a redundant question...
[P3400 ROM Development] Blue_Lightning:
Could anyone upload the new gene ROM other than megaupload please.....

I always have a problem when downloading from megaupload
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
You can downgrade 6.5 to 6.1 no problem. But not sure if you can downgrade to v 5
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
All WM 6 and above OSs are compatible and can be down/upgraded without problem. Actually, even the Wm 5 OS is also downgradable from WM 6.x OS, the problem arises only in case of official ROMs from HTC which contain SPL, IPL and GSM parts. IF these dont match the phone, it will be bricked. This is true for WM 6 roms also, but i haven't seen any WM 6 ROM for gene with these parts. Only WM 5 Roms are there on the internet and this forum that contain these parts and are harmful.

But I want to change the clock to a twelve hour format with am and pm... but I can't find the setting to switch it from 24hr format... it used to be in the clocks and alarms settings before as far as I recall... another issue I wanted clarrification on was on titanium is it possible to add your own custom panels and if so how... like say i wanted to add a launcher or a panel for spb weather or something like that?

GPRS connection issue

i have updated the ROM WM 6.5 build 21222 ... my GPRS connect successfully...but i am not able to browse any thing... even You Tube doesn't work...please advice
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Does your connection uses proxy sever? If yes, youtube wont work.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Also, if you have a non Proxy connection, delete the proxy connection, i.e. Airtel Live or Vodafone Live or whatever. The connection is by default made to the Proxied one.

@krazy: Any way to make the start menu alphabetically sorted? Was just wondering, it will make my life a lot easier :D.
[P3400 ROM Development] orange2784:
@Krazy,

yes its using Proxy sever... i didnt know that You Tube doesnt work with proxy..

Thank you Krazy...:)

if there is way it will be very easy to navigate :D:D

@Addicted2xda,

you mean i have to delete the Proxy settings and Configure the settings manually.. ??
[P3400 ROM Development] dggopal:
same request

yeah I have the same problem... or atleast I think I do... I'm using vodafone in bangalore... and it seems that gprs is connecting fine.... I get the e symbol and there are full bars on the signal strength... but i cant browse anything... tried fiumbling around with the settings using posts from here but it didn't work... tried configuring it automatically and that didnt work... wondering if anyone who has vodafone in bangalore knows what do do...
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Please make sure your proxy address and proxy port no are set correct. For Vodafone India, the proxy server address/ip is 10.10.1.100 and proxy port no is 9201 for all services. After that you would be able to browse the net using IE mobile, opera and other browsers. Java apps like gmail and Opera mini will also work.

But you wont be able to use Youtube nor you would be able to check email using the Messaging application of Windows Mobile. Both of these need a direct connection to internet. This is the reason why i left Vodafone after being a customer for 4 Years. They dont have proxy free internet access nor do they have any unlimited data plan which is ridiculous in this age but true. Their customer care, like any other services is full of noobs and they dont even give a damn to any customer feedback. I refrain doing business with such companies :) I guess they think that all their Indian customers are illetrate and dont need anything more than a phone connection on mobiles. One word, pathetic!

At this moment I am using an Idea Cellular connection which has both type of connections available as a well as a 20 Rs / day unlimited data plan for their edge based data connection. This suits my needs well when i am on the go.

These are all my personal views based on my personal experience with the company. If you have different views or are happy with them, thats very goood. No offence intended to anyone :)
[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
Hey Sumit

Strangely, at least for me, everything works fine with my Vodafone connection. I didn't have to do any settings myself, but using the default settings of your ROM. I am able to browse, check email, play Youtube and do whatever I want to do with Internet.

I am situated in Mumbai. May be its good here, and not in where you are situated. Mine is a Rs. 500 per month plan. Though limit is there - 500 MB. I have been using it for more than 5 years now and never had to cross that limit, though connect to internet everyday many times.

[P3400 ROM Development] PREMOLIKES:
Does this Rom have any dialers, or any skin enabled.? Without any skin Im getting around 3mb more RAM.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No it doesn't. And how much ram you will get is dependent upon the skin itself. Like with the HTC Slide2Answer Phone Canvas skin, you will get around 3-4 MB of RAM while with a simpler skins like Marshall's Dialer Skins etc, you will get around 300-600 KB of more RAM. It depends on how much space the skin takes itself, the normal, non-skinned WinMo dialer takes around 346 kb to 458 kb of ram.

Hey Krazy, just one quick question

can i update GENE with any ROM by Storage Card Method or it has to be specifically cooked the for either of the methods...
[P3400 ROM Development] salim1001:
Hi Orange

I think its only some of the ROM that are specifically cooked that way....Rest are through the Utility...

Others please let me know if i am wrong...
[P3400 ROM Development] jasondavidbyrne:
Hi Krazy....firstly I wanna thank you for giving us this great ROM (6.5)...i have flashed many ROMS cooked by you and have found all of them to b good...

I am facing a small issue with the 6.5 on my old gene...I flashed it successfully and it works just fine, however, when I start the phone, the Program memory shows 23MB, however, as the day goes on the free RAM decreases to 15MB....sometimes this results in the phone hanging also...and whn I reset it it agains shows 23MB free RAM...

could you please suggest how I can free up some more RAM in my gene...thanks in advance.

hi krazy

can u please add ezinput in ur rom as ankit has done...its very easy to type this way...the cab takes about 6mb of space...the original key board can be kept and rest other method can be removed.....just a personal suggesstion

thanks for wonderful roms u create
[P3400 ROM Development] jasondavidbyrne:
Yea krazy....that would be a good idea...I installed it separately through CAB....would that have an effect on the program memory....
[P3400 ROM Development] jasondavidbyrne:
Hi once again Krazy....I jst downloaded ur 6.1 v2.5...am thinking about flashing it however can you produce the same RAM magic in 6.5 as u have done in 6.1 (28-30MB). I seriously love the 6.5 and find the UI better looking and would not like to flash to 6.1 (2.5) if you can give me a solution to my issue.....The RAM is just not enough in 6.5....starts at 23 mb and keeps decreasing to around 15 mb and then the phone starts hanging alot. For e.g. when the phone is locked and a call comes in, it hangs....
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Everyone: The RAM problem is currently in the 6.5 itself, i cant do anything about it.

I removed EZInput from my roms coz it was taking too much space in ROM and was not supporting landscape view even after that, which i use a lot while chatting on Palringo messenger. So i found it not worth its price. I use EZInput RC2 and it takes only 1.5 mb of phone memory and runs fine. But again, if i include it in ROM, it starts to get problems if a language other than English is used with it.
[P3400 ROM Development] imblfmstr:

6.5 style with 6.1

Hi! Krazy

I read somewhere in the forum about the .cpr files which are giving the present look to winmo 6.5.....can u make this stuff work with 6.1 so we can have the look of 6.5 and speed+RAM of 6.1.....

bcoz in any case 6.1 is best suited for our device gene....

hope u would give it a thought....u with others chefs can do this magic

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I am aware of the availability of this build and i am following the folks at ppcgeeks.com. They haven't reported any problem fix in this build thats why i haven't updated this ROM. I am waiting for the announcement of the build number of the RTM, since its out now, there is no point in updating to beta builds. I will update this rom as soon as i get my hands on the RTM build. So stay tuned ;)

can I use ramersonw tutorial for WM6.5 cocking, and there is any difference between the WM6.1 way and 6.5

If Not tell me how please
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
There is only one step different, just use WMReloc.exe instead of GReloc.exe. The method to use WMReloc is :

you should change temp/dump to the location where you have your actual files dumped by BuildOS.

Audio Manager and Audio Booster at next WM6.5 build

Dear Sumit,

As you are already planning to build new WM6.5 ROM with the RTM release, please include Audio Manager and Audio Booster there.

Or atleast post the .cab installers for both the applications. Its the sole reason that i cant use your WM6.5 v2.0. (This is the only ROM of yours that i didnt use!!).

Take Care... and all the best with new developments.

- Moin Ali
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Oh i didn't knew you are such a big fan of Audio Manager. Audio booster is still there in the ROM, i guess you didn't noticed. And also, if you have any of my previous roms, just dump it and from the audio manager package, copy all the files except .rgu, .dsm and initflashfiles.txt to the folder \Program Files\AudioManager or to \Windows. Now create a shortcut to audiomanager.exe in the \WIndows\Start Menu\Programs folder. Thats it, Audio Manager will work in v2.0 also.

And not to mention, i will include Audio Manager in future builds.

Thanks for the feedback.
[P3400 ROM Development] zinzar:

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ya, from ppcgeeks and then from a post by da_g here at xda, i came to know about that.

builds 212xx are Microsoft official builds, 215xx build numbers are used by Samsung for distinguising their own modified versions and 216xx are used by HTC. Since all the timebomb code was removed starting from build 21215, it can be considered as the RTM build.

I am still wondering when they will remove this GWES memory bug. Its the only reason i am not using 6.5 on my gene right now. 6.1 runs so much smooth, i just cannot think of going to 6.5.

Yes you can dump it, but you can't build ROM for Gene, The size is mismatch, and when I try to dump The result ROM, it give error on xipport as Krazy said.
