I feel we who have a problem with the mms is not with it being grouped togeather. The problem is not being able to "finish" setting it up for the size we want. T-Mobile USA let us send MMS as big as 1mb.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The ROM will get an update... but I've been very busy cranking out PPC ROMs :P

I will also have to look into overlayind the hardware cursor in the IE6 window.
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Hey NRGZ28,

If you can get that hardware cursor woring in IE6, I will definately make another donation.

...and if you can also add the below little gem to IE6 - I'll do a double-donation :)

I don't know if its just me or my phone, but for some reason outlook email keeps popping up asking me to create a new message. Is this a bug, or is it just my phone?
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
It's not a problem I've experienced so I would hesitantly say it might be your phone, maybe a hard reset and re-flash of the ROM would solve it but remember to back up your data first!
[HTC Excalibur] Tritan88:
I have run into this a few times when doing different things on the phone.

I have tried to re-flash, hard reset and clear storage with no luck. I just figured that it is something I have to live with. I am not sure how to address this any other way and have yet been able to make a usable modified cooked rom using this one as the starting point.

I do like this rom regardless and I look forward to any future updates.
[HTC Excalibur] tech_girl:
Hi NRGZ28. I have flashed to this 6.5EnergyROM after trying your 6.1.EnergyROM. I have found two "bugs" while using 6.5 ROM.

(1) With the WM6.1 version, I was able to enter the name of the recipient and then it would automatically show the names in my contacts. For example, if I enter Tom, then all the Toms in my contact would show up and I can then select it. This is no longer the case for WM6.5 version.

(2) I am unable to move an existing text message to the DRAFT, or any other folders whereas I could do that before with your 6.1EneregyROM.

Could you look into this? Thanks.

Opera Mini .cab file. Font is horrid!

Hey there! Does anyone know what is going on with the opera browser when installed from the .CAB file? The font is damned near unreadable. If i increase the font size to large its slightly more useable. Apologies if someone already posted a fix for this.

As far as I know this is only a problem when used in the NRG rom (i think the EVO/ookba rom already has a version of opera installed by default).

Love this rom. Its the one i use daily.

Thanks in advance!

[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Not sure what the fix is with the cab file but I just dl'd the .jar or .jad file (can't remember which one off hand) and now use that, keep it on my sd card so I have it anytime I reflash, as long as the ROM has java...upload it and it works just fine....and this one does. :p

unusual hang!

Seems to be hanging for me as well... I guess im back to the last release for right now...

cheers

[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
Yes, there is something wrong with the ROM. I was able to flash the earlier version, and it worked fine for me. After flashing this ROM, phone boot to starting EnergyROM then stall.
[HTC Excalibur] crimson9292:
major problem

After flashing this latest ROM (the broken one) i CANNOT go back to a previous rom because my phone wont boot up. When i try to load from the SDcard, i get an invalid certificate message. Anybody have any ideas? Id like to just go back to the 620 NRG release. As of right now, phone is unusable.

-=crim
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
You'll need to get into the bootloader by turning the phone off, then hold the camera button and the plug in the USB cable. A tri-colour screen should appear.

You can then flash your OFFICIAL carrier ROM only - there is a sticky with links on the forum and once that's up and running you can flash the previous NRG release.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
What the... I tested it on my own Excalibur and it works fine!... The server must be corrupting my upload....sigh. Sorry guys... I'll take the corrupt ROM off the server for now...
[HTC Excalibur] alexalexoe:
thanks ^^, i thought my phone was bricked or something ...
[HTC Excalibur] crimson9292:
This isnt working either mate. Im getting as far as 3% and then the phone resets

I think im royally screwed here.
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
You need to flash your official ROM(The original ROM that came with your phone) when in bootload mode. Flashing other ROM will not work, and a 3% error will occur
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
NRG,

When will you upload your latest working ROM on the server?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's uploading as we speak
[HTC Excalibur] crimson9292:
Update: Fixed

Hope this helps someone else that might be having the same problem.

After 4 hours, i found a stock ROM for the tmobile dash that worked

As of this writing, version

1.22.531.8 Worked for me to get my phone back. Here is a link to it

http://www.mediafire.com/?tnyzqyygytx

Someone might want to add this to a sticky or someplace else where it can easily be found.
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
Glad you got it working. I had the same problem with a different ROM a while back, almost had a heart attack! lol.

Anyway my phone was originally a BT Mobile one so had to find the BT firmware to flash which took a while to find, thought it would be dead forever! Fortunately found a copy and, well, the rest is history - made a few backup copies of it in case I ever need it again!
[HTC Excalibur] crimson9292:
Ohh dude you have no idea! Ive been using the cooked roms for quite a while and this is the first time ive had this much of a roadblock.

Ive had this little sucker damn near 4 years and im not EVEN about looking for a new phone! this is it for me! (f**k the palm pre and the iphone!!!)

Thanks to all who assisted. Much thanks for your hard work NRG

What network was it on originally? Ie when it was new? That will give you an insight as to who you may need to contact.

E.g. my Excalibur was originally came on BT Mobile so I had to use that ROM to unbrick it, get it back to a working state and then flash the ROM of my choice :-)

[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You guys can't say I don't preach enough about loading the modified bootloader I have in my 6.1 thread. If you're going to be loading custom ROMs and one decides to fail loading, you wouldn't be having this problem right now....
[HTC Excalibur] Jarc112:
thats a shame because if would it have know i flashed, there isnt any way to revive my phone now? :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The only thing you can do is to load a stock ROM from the provider branded on your phone. Or if it's not branded in anyway, a stock HTC rom :)
[HTC Excalibur] alexalexoe:
no one blames anyone, whats done is done, the point is find someway to fix it, thats all, i'll be very appreciate if someone can help, thanks guys ...
[HTC Excalibur] awilaman:
My expectation is that people that decide to upgrade to unofficial/custom ROMs should read as much of the documentation as they can and also read the disclaimers.

In my eagerness to upgrade to NRGZ28's 2009/07/07 build, I didn't take the necessary precautions and ran into the same problem:

The boot process getting stuck at the "Starting EnergyROM" splash screen.

(1) The resolution that I tried took me back to downloading all the ROMs on the official ROMS sticky thread that matches my device (mine is T-Mobile branded)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381726

(2) Next, I turned my phone off.

(3) Then I restarted my phone and pushed the camera button. This brings up the tricolor screen.

(4) Then I connected my phone to my computer via a USB cable

(5)I ran the official ROM version for my device (T-Mobile Dash Software Update 1.22.531.8.exe was the one that finally worked) on my computer. I got this from the download link in posts 208 & 212 by crimson9292.

(6) I stepped through the RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) wizard and started the upgrade process.

(7) And then I waited till the RUU told me that it was finished and it worked!!!

Now, if something didn't work, please identify what didn't work. I am assuming in most cases, the challenge is finding the appropriate official ROM.

Soooo

Does this fix the MMS issue?

Yes?

No?

YES?!?!?!

no...:(
[HTC Excalibur] Bigmannyjr:
I hope so. That's what I'm waiting to see. But while I was waiting for the MMS issue to be fixed the new 3VO ROM has now got a Titanium Configuator which allows you to create your own panels. If the MMS issue is fixed it will be a choice of a "snapper" EnergyROm vs. "everything you want from your Today screen" 3VOLUTION ROM. It is a great time to own a smartphone.
[HTC Excalibur] EasyTiger6x13:
I concur

I haven't tried the 3evolution rom yet and quite honestly I dont plan on it. It just seems to convoluted for my tastes but if all else fails i will give it a try.

but I agree on the smartphone bit. to this day even tho its out dated i still tell ppl that the dash is the best phone I've ever own, I poured wax on it by accident and it still works. I can take it in the shower and get water in the key board and it works. i can drop it down stairs and it works, and windows mobile allows for soooo many different hacks and even game emulators to be put on it.
[HTC Excalibur] funoffan:
Just Test the new rom

faster than ever

Seems like myPhone service doesn't work.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
yeah.. that might be due to IE6 not being in the ROM. Not sure...
[HTC Excalibur] funoffan:
I guess so, cuz i can login with skyfire, but not via IE5

Update: Flash back to early version with IE6, it still doesn't work.

Perhaps Microsoft won't recognize new rom with previous update. Anyway, ActiveSync works great since I only sync Calendar.

great release NRG. superfast and stable as a rock. i have 3 excaliburs. 1 is running your release. 2nd one has 3vo. the 3rd one which i recently inherited still has wm5 on it (original rom). say do you by chance know where i can get a kitchen and a basic 6.5 rom (as little pre customization as possible) from? id like to try build a little something and drop it on my 3rd device then give it to my sister as a birthday gift (just add a few personal touches to a base rom).

You gotta follow the instructions. Now you must load your "factory" ROM, load the hacked bootloader and then load this ROM. All with a well charged battery. Then you can tell me if the MMS works.

Hey NRGZ28,

Any chance you can post an IE6 version of this new version?
[HTC Excalibur] objecttothis:
- On incoming calls it takes about 5 seconds before I can hear the other person.

- xT9 autocomplete doesn't work.

- Sluggish response time on outgoing calls being initiated but doesn't have the same problem with the ear speaker.

I like the feel and changes but the problems (maybe with the radio?) are making it unusable for me right now. I'm going to see if ookba's ROM has the same problem because that will tell me if its the SDK causing it or if it's specific to this build.

Thanks & Respect

Thanks NRG for all your hard work on this amazing rom! After all the reading through 20 something pages of this thread and contemplating, I decided to just give it a try. This rom really is fast and breathes new life into my dash! (I upgraded from Ricky's Kavana Remade 6.1 v24 rom...so I was long overdue to update my rom!) I'm sure I'll busy for awhile just tinkering and seeing what all this rom can do!

1. This rom is very nice.

Okay I have noticed the audio problems as well. I have experienced the long delay time before I hear the person on the other side with incoming calls, and I have also noticed a lag in audio in the system. For example the "alert" sound in Celetask when you check memory status, or when you are changing ringtones in settings and the "preview" of the sounds when going through the list lags. Is there a simple fix for this?

[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Hey, NRG, what´s going on with you?

Are you out of time to play with Excalibur?

Is your Energy ROM 6.5 for Excalibur abandoned?

Download links are not working anymore, no mirrors even. No pictures in first post. Many people (including myself) are having audio issues. Audio manager is not working anymore (it was in previous version). Some bugs still persists (like the comm manager in front page).

It seems that you´ve abandoned this ROM. At this point (I mean, as it is today), your rom is useless. Some unsolved bugs along with a few new (really annoying) ones.

I came back to Kavana remade by Rickywatt, wich is stable and fast (my personal choice), and I´ll stick with him unless you come back and take care of us, Excalibur owners.

Let me tell you that you´ve been doing a great job. If I were a cooker, and got the skills, that´s the way i´d cook a ROM.

Other cookers always left wi-fi broken in first versions, you didn´t. So, I assume that you put a lot of effort and care in this Rom to build it, and now you´re leaving it as-it-is?

You don´t raise a child to let him/her at his/her own luck at the age of 5, do ya?

Or, you could at least be honest and say: "Fu** this rom, I´m not interested in it anymore"

Don´t do that, dude.

Regards.

Dude, the man is busy. Wait and i will be rewarded, dont insult him cuz he is not being as attentive as you would like him to be....
[HTC Excalibur] johnambler41577:
^^I would have to agree.^^ I know I have been eager for a fix myself, but I know NRG has contributed quite a bit to the forums and seems like a busy man. If he gives us an update that would be great! I do like the snappiness of his roms compared to some of the others I tried. But if not there are plenty of other roms to try out on this great forum. I don't think we can really get anywhere with being impatient. (I know I can be pretty impatient myself!!) We should at least be a little more understanding and give some respect that NRG took out some time to even create this rom when he didn't have to. We have the tendency to make demands to those who go out of their way to provide these roms for us when we should be more laid back... That's just my 2 cents though!!
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
All I said is: If you (NRG) are still interested in developing this rom, let us know, if not, then we´ll take a look at any other side and see what´s available, because - as you johnambler said - there are plenty of other rom´s to try out here.

And I think I did not disrespect anyone. If I did, I´m really sorry, I didn´t mean to.

I just don´t want to see such a good project flushing down the toilet.
