some review for Chaiporn's ROM....

overall this ROM is good....stable and light...but i found some problems (not bugs actually) which makes me feel inconvenience using this ROM.

First, the Manila Homescreen itself, I prefer SPB homescreen rather than Manila. And because of that, makes my phone lack of internal memory space...

Second, the slide unlock icon, felt to be lil' bit forced....seems so flat...it would be nice if the icon is Motorola's icon but not so "flat"

the last (at least for now), the alarm only can play WAV file which placed on windows folder, can't used mp3 files as alarm signal....

please chaiporn, can you cook a ROM for me which suit with my taste??thanks before...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chai2porn:
I'm trying to work on these requirement.

But for your require in alarm issue, I can't do that.

Because it's a limited performance of WM alarm.

Should find some program such as G-Alarm that I don't have it for now.

Will find the way soon.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nalimen:
thanks a lot....

i think i have good solution for the alarm, i love the SPB time...it's good appl. with nice interface and features....

Moto Home Screen and GarminXT...

Just wanted to provide some feedback from a little-experienced user regarding the WM upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 to the Motorola A3100 phone using the information available on this thread.

I first downloaded the 23620_TEST ROM to the phone directly, I mean without previously loading the chinese ROM. I chose this cook because of the comments of it being stable. It worked fine, the phone indeed looked like over-clocked!. Almost all the apps I was using on 6.1 run OK with some exceptions which I was aware of because of previous posts on this thread.

But in addition to these exceptions I could not run Garmin XT, I use this app. almost every other day so this was unacceptable.

After testing all Garmin versions I could find from 4.2.50 to 5.0.20, I begun suspecting about the detail of not having loaded the Chinese ROM before the cooked 6.5 ROM.

So I loaded the Chinese 6.1 ROM and after it the 23620_TEST ROM again, after some tests I found that nothing had changed. But I did find out that what was preventing Garmin XT from starting was Motorola Home Screen. In fact once Moto Home Screen is loaded, Garmin XT would not start any more until I reset the phone. I am pretty sure the same thing was going on before I loaded the Chinese 6.1 ROM, so (in my case) loading the Chinese WM6.1 ROM was not needed.

Once Motorola Home is run, Garmin cannot start, the rolling animation stays rolling forever and the app. will not start. Opted for SPB Shell which was not using with WM6.1 because of lack of memory. Now it runs OK.

Sysinfo makes the phone hang after a minute or so, need to exit with the red button before that happens.

Motorola Keyboard: could not make it work from the .CAB file, did not try much as touchpal is a good alternative.

Radio Stack Version in my phone has always been 1.0.18, the same version the phone came with no matter what I downloaded to it.

ROM version and Bootloader version ended updated to 1.1.20, am not sure what the original version was.

All in all this WM6.5 ROM is definively a keeper for me because it provides more memory space and lets the phone run faster while being just as stable as the original WM6.1. The compatibility issues of some apps with WM6.5 are easy to live-with already so in the future these will likely be forgotten.

Thanks to all contributors of these cooked ROMs and those who tested and commented on them, they've made this thread great!

Spanish guide for error 814

Hi ACE-RJ, i'm sorry that those CANTV where closed a few weeks ago. The were taken down by government claiming that the forums where used to create conspiracies to kill the president... no joke. Venezuela is a f**ked up country since our president (crazy "democratic" dictator Chavez) took place in power 11 years ago. I'm sorry i got carried away, no more politics on this post.

The procedure is as follows (you'll find all files in this thread, just search):

1.- Flash the JayMartCleanRom.bin with Ghost Tools --- This will eliminate the error -814 for the next steps ---

2.- Flash Full Chinese Rom with Download Tool any ver. 1.4 or 1.8

3.- Flash Pignew's rom that ends with "fixerror814" using Download Tools.

At the end you'll have a very lite english rom with only the default Titanium Home Screen, very fast, very stable (some claim it to be the most stable rom for the MotoSurf A3100), with lots of free memory and almost bug free.

I've been using it for a couple of months and the only bug so far is that video recording doesn´t work properly. If i try to record the phone freezes and after a minute or two a "not enough free memory" message appears... and the only time i got the video to work properly it disabled the wifi permanently, i had to reflash everything. so my recommendation: Don't even try to use Video... Photo works great.

If you still have problems with the procedure you can get in contact with me by PM and i'll send you all the files and help you step by step to get that error -814 out of the way. Happy Modding

Regarding SURF 6.5 OS 21916 Lite by nuart.

To whom who want to flash ... that ROM has some positive and negative issues IMHO!.

Positive:

1. finally video recording works without freezing

2. quality of some icons were improved

Negative:

1. This is old style windows.

2. Default windows splash screen replaced by some ugly picture (boot time) (hate improvements like that)

3. By default installed many unused applications such as Wildows Live, MSN messenger, NoData, Spb Screenshot, Rotate screen, etc... (wasting space)

4. By default integrated Thai keyboard (wasting memory)

5. Something wrong with system locales. Cyrillic text in SPB News sometimes shown as lines of garbage. (in all other ROMs it is OK) even if i change regional settings to Russian

I Hope it was useful.

Thanks to nuart for the 21916 rom, it works great. It's fast and it's light on memory.

Just a couple of questions:

1. Does anyone know how to edit the today screen (remove the voicemail and music, for example, and add something else)?

2. How to get the GPS receiver to pick up a signal faster? I use sygics mobile maps for navigation, and it takes me 2-5 minutes to get a signal outdoors. Other people are reporting that the GPS is quicker with wm6.5, but I've found that not to be the case with my phone.

Note, my GPS has always been slow, even on wm6.1. Of course it's a bit faster if I run GPSxtra beforehand, but is there any other way?

Thanks.
