[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@premo, dheeraj :All the ROMS, at least i can say it for mine, contain the driver OMAP850_SDHC.dll in OEMDrivers so SDHC card support is enable already. I guess since Gene started coming with WM 6, the driver is pre-bundled. Only WM 5 editions didn't had that.

@rahul: Run the exe on computer, its a self extracting zip archive. Give it a location and it will extract the RUU_Signed.nbh. Then put the nbh file in ROMUpdateUtility folder and start the utility. The wizards will guide you through the steps. RUU is available as a download from many places in the forum including in the step by step guide to flashing gene.

@BesFen: Its not much different than building with XPR compression. While creating imgfs.bin the file system template that we use, gene-imgfs-xpr-hdr.bin. must be replaced with one supporting LZX compression, gene-imgfs-lzx-hdr.bin. Rest of the process is same. This file is available in the Orefkov's kitchen (Russian version).

One problem that you may encounter is that while building imgfs, the imgfsview.exe may crash. If that happens, note the name of last file that it was working with, convert it into a dll if its a module or vice verse and then repeat the imgfs building process. It will fail again at the same file. Now Delete the converted file and put back again the old file and rebuild imgfs, it will succeed this time. Its strange but that's the way it is. To convert modules to dll you can use RecMode.exe and for reverse process you can use reversmode.exe. I cant tell you where to get these, i can send these to you if you need.

Also using LZX requires quiet a lot of RAM in your computer. In my case, i monitored in task manager, it nearly finished up all the 3GB RAM of mine while completing the build process. So 2 GB ram is the least you should have for a fast build otherwise heavy paging activity will happen and your computer may become slow. 3 GB is recommended.

Happy cooking :)

Great ROM!!!!!!!

Just installed your ROM and getting about 22 mb free RAM.

!!!! Great animated boot screen !!!!:eek:

!!!! Why, there is no battery indicator in % !!!!:confused:

!!! Please make a lite version of this ROM with WM 6.5 only. No other application installed. !!!

Even without Marketplace, Windows live, Windows update, Messenger.

Please do make a lite version please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[P3400 ROM Development] rahul_c_o_ol:
Thanks

Thanks for replying & Creating such a wonderful ROM. !!!

I have installed this ROM via SD card.

Just loved the animated boot screen.

Please Create a lite version of WM 6.5. !!!!

!!!!! Waiting for your next release. !!!!!
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Sorry, go through my rom threads if/whenever you have spare time, you will eventually know that i am the wrong person to ask for a lite ROM. :)

Percentage based battery indicators poll the battery too often resulting in decreased battery performance, thats why i dont use it.
[P3400 ROM Development] PREMOLIKES:
Dude do u have any battery indicator without percentage for wm 6.5, I have many of them but I doubt they will work in wm6.5
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Not really, i never felt need to change it so i never searched for it :)

audio booster not working

both audio manager and audio booster not working
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Saurabh: What are you talking about buddy, nobody else has reported this, check whether your phone is flashed properly and is there is no conflicting software installed.

@ALL: Version 2 of this ROM is coming very soon, with WM 6.5 Build 21222. The ROM is working fabulously well. I removed Audio Manager and put MP3Trimmer in the ROM. Rest everything is almost same. Phone Memory is 37.40 MB and RAM free on startup is 24.4 - 25 MB with 4 MB Page Pool. I dropped the idea of LZX compression due to performance reasons.

The main change in this release is in IE. Its faster and therefore everything else that depends on it is faster.

pls give for old gene soon

hi yar

pls give the same for old gene soon yar im wating to try this for quite some time :(
[P3400 ROM Development] techmate:
@Krazy: Hope you will provide this ROM (WM 6.5 Build 21222) for OLD GENE USERS as well :D. I heard this version is much faster than any of previous WM 6.5 build:).... Waiting...
[P3400 ROM Development] haree:
me too

hi

mee too wating for the same for old gene :D:D:D

Which ones better 21222 or 21215 ?, I heard that on may 11 there is will be official release by microsoft.
[P3400 ROM Development] techmate:
@Premo: Heard that 21222 is a better one (faster ROM). You never know it may one of the last candidate before RTM:D.

One of the blog (on zdnet) says May 11 is the opening day of Microsoft’s TechEd 2009 conference in Los Angeles. Whether Microsoft considers May 11 the official launch, the “business launch,” or the official release to manufacturing date, it seems Windows Mobile 6.5 is pretty much complete:D. Now onto Windows Mobile 7….:):):)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
As far as speed is concerned, its good in case of IE and its related services like SMS Editor, Widgets etc. In other cases, its almost same as before. But notably, there are internal changes that wont show up on surface, but i'm sure they will make things better in coming days. For example, Media Player is using a new api (Application Programming Interface) since last 21215 build and IE is getting better and faster, i guess by removing bloat and optimizing the code. And since these releases are not final, it may be possible that there is some debug code inside current builds. If thats true, the final will be at least 30% better in performance that these builds.

But the same old keyboard problem has returned in this build. I am trying to resolve it. Otherwise the ROM is ready for both old and new gene.
[P3400 ROM Development] saurabh88:
man ur link of megaupload for new gene show description that it is for old gene.,,what's this?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@saurabh: Sir, if you do try to read some previous posts since you last visit this thread, you will get the right idea about the questions that people have previously asked. I am not going to answer things again and again.

@ALL: From what senior guys like conflipper and others are saying at ppcgeeks.com is that there are two types of builds, Microsoft internal builds (21501 was an internal build) and builds for OEMs like HTC etc (21215, 21222 etc). My guess from what i have seen untill now is that, internal builds are more stable with less bugs. Almost all OEM builds that i tried are having this SIP problem, dont know why. But 21501 worked perfectly at first shot.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ok. SIP Problem is solved and everything is working fine now. Finally I got to know why the hell my roms were facing this problem, it was quiet a fruitful journey solving these bugs, I learned a lot. I also removed the ActiveSync bluetooth connection unavailable bug present in this build. Let me test it a little more and then i will post the ROM, tomorrow evening or afternoon maybe, for both old and new gene. :)

To tell you guys, people at ppcgeeks are also very helping like on our forum, and they are quiet active in releasing WM 6.5 builds, so any of you guys who are interesting in learning something or getting the latest sys and xip for cooking should check it out too. :)

One Query

: can u add some tweak to the ROM to enable group sms...its very troublesome to select contacts every time...or suggest some cab which can add this functionality to existing messaging function....(the messaging in 6.5 is suberb, I don't want to replace it with other app)

Any news about winmo 7?

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Why are you angry dear? This is the only thing i expect from people here, READ. If you feel that its a burden for you, you are probably at a wrong place.

I had not done anything wrong with you, you posted question without reading first so i directed you for reading. And I just said to read the posts since your last visit not the whole thread. :) Anyways, forget it :)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
There are many free large keyboards available. My personal favorites are EZInput RC2 keyboards and Finger Keyboard. Go to Development and Hacking section and search for these. You will easily find them. But dont go for EZInput 2.0, that doesn't works with our phone. OK.

Hey thanks for the link Pow. :)

Yes the messaging app is really superb and its being enhanced in Wm 6.5, and there are many possibilities with it as the messaging app is totally built around html templates. Thats why it can show full html email in all its glory. If you are a rom cook, you can easily find the files that, say for example, make up the sms editor and make changes to them to do things like resizing the reply text field in the threaded messaging screen, removing scrollbars from messaging etc. Some people have done these things already.

One feature in WM 6.5 i really like is their attention towards finger friendliness. I notices that apart from other things, Tabs also got an enhancement. When there are multiple tabs on screen, you can go through them by swiping your finger :)

WinMO 7 will become hot discussion after 6.5 RTM is released and devices are out. For now,people are too much indulged in WM 6.5 and why not, technologically many things have changed including the Windows Mobile kernel, which you see in advance task managers as nk.exe process. When phones are out with native support for new kernel, they will be a lot better than what we are experiencing on our current ROMs. We are using virtual kernel at this time, its not designed for the new things present in WM 6.5 but there is nothing we can do about it. Otherwise WM 6.5 will perform better, a lot better.

Anything that goes out about WinMo 7 is often rumor, nobody really knows about the real thing except for Microsoft people. :)

No rom after flash????

hey all of u i just cant wait to flash this rom for new gene but after full upgradw my phone restart as usually and no welcome screen appear?only htc and onbl.spl.etc.appear.did the flash 3 times wait for even 10 minutes...plz guide me..
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Saurabh: Are you sure your phone is a new gene?? Try the old gene rom and see if it works. And is your spl patched?

@imblfmstr: Dont know buddy, this Suspend playback thing is only happening with you, I have included all the settings i could for it in registry and on mine its working fine out of the box on first reboot :o I'm afraid i cant help you much on this. Did you checked the registry settings i told you once?

RAM is 20-21 MB for me after loading sip and configuring 6 email accounts. You see, no of email accounts directly affects ram usage, so check that out too.

Also, in dotfred's task manager, set these services to start manual :

1. Bluetooth Audio Gateway (if you dont use a wireless headset)

2. Microsoft My Phone (if you have it installed and dont use automatic syncing.)

3. Windows Live (In case you dont have an hotmail account. @live.in, live.com and other accounts can be managed using pop3 now. servers for pop3 are pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com with ssl support enabled. So use that if you dont have @hotmail.com in your live email address.)

About Opera 9.5, any version will do, i'd recommend the SD card versions, they take less memory. I use one extracted from Samsung Omnia for now as it has the zoom slider.

Today screen plugin : I use the default titanium, although i am going to try the new Bliss theme, its available now for QVGA :) Other than titanium the only third party plugin i can recommend is SPB Mobile Shell 3. Its amazing! :)
[P3400 ROM Development] imblfmstr:
Thanks Buddy....

I will just do the mail accounts thing...i don't use hotmail...best i do is two of my gmail id and one official id (all Pop3)

Can u please upload the opera version u use...so that i can install the same...i reall don't understand the thing SD card version...just put some thing more for me...

if u are comfortable can i call u on phone....i have ur no.

Thanks buddy...u rock

The best ever!

Hi Sumit

I have been using your latest release for more than a day now. Thanks a ton! Though I didn't get the time to go thru each and every details, I must say that this is indeed one of the best releases from you. By the way, your ROMs have always been best, but my taste was a little bit different in terms of the availability of RAM and ROM (I agree the same was due to the availability of robust features). But this release is undoubtadly the best, as it gives me a RAM of around 21+ MB with the new SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 running! Indeed I have disabled Titanium since SPB MS is running. Even after some hours of usage and playing around with applications or GPRS/EDGE, I am getting around 19.5 MB of RAM constantly, which is fairly good. Thanks again!

Also, the issue of music not playing when suspending the device is there for me too. I agree that is a minute thing. Just a feedback.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Well thanks for the feedback Dheeraj. I dont know why this issue is happening with you people while its not on my phone. Anyways, In Windows Media Player options, you can configure a hardware key to toggle screen. Use that for the time being to switch off screen while listening to music. :)

A feedback about 1.02 (Ok too late)

@krazy:

Just one problem or rather an irritant found with 1.02 ROM, yeah I know its a bit late to report issues. But what to do since I am always on tour for last few months.

When I am disconnecting an incoming a call, It is shown as a missed call - which is normal. But even when I am opening call list using the call button, the missing call notification is still there. Only when I open call history from "Phone" option in titanium, the notification is removed.

This is just to inform you only of a minor irritant.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@imblfmstr: no idea buddy, sorry :( WM 6.5 GWES.exe is having some memory leak problem since last 2 releases, that causes things like these. Although i am not having this to such an extent. In my case RAM reduces to around 15 MB.

@Addicted: Good to see you buddy, its been so long :) How are you doing? Ya the problem is there in that build. Cant do much about it, its in the build itself.

@Everybody: Please remember, although its near the final version, WM 6.5 is still in beta/RC stage so bugs are bound to be there. :) I cannot do much about these.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@imblfmstr: Sorry buddy, i forgot to mention the method for configuring WM player. here it is :

1. Go to options, buttons. There are several actions listed in the listbox. Choose "Toggle Screen".

2. Click Assign and press a hardware key. I use OK button for this. Note this will only change the function of hardware button when you are in Media Player.

3. Press OK.

Thats it. :)

shut off your camera to gain more ram

for those who complain insufficient ram, you can switch off your camera (can be switch on later, just run the application again), it will normally gain 4MB after this. I do not use camera, so its just fine with me.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hey Thanks Pow. That's a great utility, great find. Although its not very usable for me since it requires reset even when turning on the camera which means if i ever need to take a photo, i'l have to wait for 2-3 minutes before i can do that, that's irritating. I mean if just the turning on of camera could be done without reset, it would have been fabulous :)

@krazy:

is it possible to modify WM 6.5 ROMs using ramersonw's method? was just wondering :D.

I know its wrong thread, but custsat.dll folder was left in dump folder after running pkgtool as well as pkg_cp. And webview.dll was also left. so, where to put them ?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Yes, it is possible to dump and rebuild it as always with my ROMs, except for the version 1.02 for new gene which is using lzx compression. Tools may fail on that while dumping, and for rebuilding using the same compression you would need additional files.

Custat.dll goes to "dummy SQM" folder and webview.dll will go into "BROWSING" folder. Actually, the dsm of some packages are not well built and because of that this problem occurs.

As I did not find audio manager in the new rom (2.0). I tried to install it from cab. But after playing 2 - 3 songs, it hung. In the mean time, it screwed up my WM Player as well :D. So, no ringtone would ring :). After uninstalling though, every thing was fine. Any solutions for this?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Audio Manager was intentionally removed. Most of the people including me were of openion that it serves no real purpose apart from providing the MP3Trimmer facility which i have provided in form of Diamond MP3 Trimmer. The cab you are installing must be replacing some things it should be replacing. Do one thing, take the OEM of audio manager from any of my previous roms, copy all the files to \Windows folder, except for rgu and dsm. Create a shortcut to AudioManager.exe using Resco Explorer (Send to > Start Menu as shortcut. In case of WM 6.5, you will need to go to \Windows\Start Menu folder and move the shortcut to Programs folder, and rename it if you want) and you will be good to go. All the registry settings for audio manager are there, i haven't removed those.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
@krazy:

Thanks a lot buddy. I also think that the app is redundant. But my WMP works funny with my mp3s, it normally splits albums in to 2 or 3 different albums (with the same name though, say 3 Hindi - Old albums) and songs are spread among them. So its a bit irritating. But that doesn't happen with audio manager. I have used MP3tag for this issue, but with no result. BTW I did not know Audio Booster works with WMP :p :D. Only today I found that out. Actually I never used WMP seriousely before.

@BesFen: Thanks a lot for the tool and Info :).
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Yes Although Windows Media Player has everything that Audio Manager has, but its library is a bit buggy. IN case of me, i have some songs, for example famous no by a group called Steps, song is 5,6,7,8. I remember it coz i listen to it a lot these days. Now although i have put right information in its tag and while playing it media player does shows album artist and song name, it never displays the artist Steps in artist vise listing of library. But i have learnt to live with it for now. Lets see, if it will become too much pain i might put it back. And for these obivious reasons, although i removed the app, i kept the registry settings so that it can be installed without pain if needed by someone. Cabs actually dont always work the the way they should.
