infrared

Hi there , this seems to be working nicely , but i was wondering where is the IR ? I have installed this on an SPV c600 that does not have wifi but has infrared. There doesn't seem to be an infrared driver included.

Any solutions ?

[HTC Tornado] HustlinDaily:
Just installed the SuperLite version (no SD card) and I love it. First time doing anything like this, getting an Acer Liquid A1 later this week so decided to mess around with this phone, my only regret is not doing this earlier. Did hit a snag along the way (error 260) but it randomly worked few hours later.

Pros:

-Smooth (feels faster than WinMo5)

-Easily customizable homescreen

-WinMo6.x apps (Facebook is great. The AIM app is supposed to work in WinMo5 but never did for me for some reason, looks great now). A Google Maps that can find my location and use voice

-Great calculator

Cons:

-When writing text, if you hold down a #, it does not display the # (it did that in WinMo5 and made texting easier). Not major at all and pros defin outweigh cons.

Wish this phone had 3G and/or WiFi.

If I am ever in Moscow, I owe you a beer.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
The Tornado comes in 2 internal flavours:

with WIFI: Qtek 8310, SDA (TMO-US), VDA 2, V1240, X1240

without WIFI: SPV C600, O2 XDA Phone

Even the PBA looks identical until you open the tin-covers below the LCD. The non WIFI is missing some circuits there.

The ROMs need to support the WIFI Hardware. So depending which OEM of WM5 was the base for cooking the WM6.x ROMs, the drivers may not be activated in the result or even be missing.

To play around you can also try other WM6.x ROMs which have running WIFI. If you like you can also try mine (see my signature) where SDHC support is built in and you have a kitchen to play with the components.
[HTC Tornado] HustlinDaily:
Yeah my phone is the Cingular 2125 which is the equivalent to the Orange SPV C600. No hope for WiFi.

The kitchen on the ROM sounds like a great idea tho. Might try that out sometime.
[HTC Tornado] solox:
My 8310 is alive

This rom works great! Fast, much ram available.

Went from HTC Touch back to Tornado after my touch digitizer crashed.

+for tornado: can be used with one hand. Easier with real buttons. More program memory available.
[HTC Tornado] Marsbar:
Anyone have 21234 lite?

Hi

Edit: don't worry, figured out why the texts weren't showing - I'd disabled ActiveX in IE. This is a Very Bad Thing, it seems :)

Yianaki deserves credit for the solution.

End of edit.

-------

A year or so ago I installed 21234 full and it was the best I'd had except that IE was basically unusable. It never bothered me enough to change to the lite version but when I saw the new 21854 I tried that; unfortunately it seems to have some stability issue - after a day or two of use it seems to corrupt something so I can't see any text in POutlook. I tried a hard reset which solved the issue but a couple of days later it did the same thing.

I don't want to go back to 21234 full (which I still have) but I don't have 21234 lite, and none of the links for that version in this thread works :(

Can anyone upload it somewhere?

Thanks!

Geoff

Bug with Camera:

*It's way too dark, i have seen this issue with some other ROM.

*When using the setting "Night", there is a black line across the picture.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
The camera application in the Tornado cooked ROMs is ripped from another device (not sure which). The joystick left/right which are supposed to adjust the brightness will make the picture vanish in darkness. No solution known to this effect.

Depending on the version you see a menu item "reset brightness" - in fact a resource hacked access to the menu entry "effects - none" which will reset your brightness.

The line in the middle seems to appear sometimes (independent of the whitebalance), no clue why. Reboot the device and it should be gone.

Using Win 7

Have anyone tried with Win 7? I do not have access to Win XP. As per the steps looks like you need to have Xp. Can you please help if I can use Win 7 completely for all the steps?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] desihu:
have just moved to Gregory's last march build WM6.5 21854 standard. I noticed few issues, which I hope someone would have a solution

1. GPRS as of now is not working.... even after making the new entry for AP, it is not able to connect to Internet.

2. Camera is dark (I believe it is so with few other roms too)... but not important for me.

3. The device hangs often - Im on day 2 with his rom and have already had to take out the bttery 4-5 times.

My immediate priority is to make GPRS going.. any clue?

Update on GPRS

OK probably I was going too fast...

GPRS is working now

I had to upgrade Radio ver to 4.1.13.28_02.61.01. I believe when I downgradd by Phone back to iMate factory os WM5, even the radio got downgraded to 4.0.13.25_01.14.00. As alos mentioned in the previous post by Gregory
[HTC Tornado] redireccion:
Hello,

Can someone reupload the "Lite" version?, Didn't like the explorer on the full version, Besides that, The rom is excellent!,

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Tornado] desihu:
hmmm I am back with my feedback after using the 6.5.21854 SuperLite Rom for almost 15 days.

All is working well.... now the only thing I am look for is auto disconnection of Edge/Gprs data connection.

Will try No Data and another cab for auto disconnection in 1 Min.

But I remember my earlier ROM had this facility to disconnect data session on pressing Hangup key. Any idea how?
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Do you know about ConnTweak at http://home.arcor.de/toluse/www/projects.htm
[HTC Tornado] desihu:
Thanks Tobbbie, for the link. I belive the ConnTweak would work same as Andrews's, except there no felxibity to change timeout settings.

Andrew's thing is working ok for me right now, though I would still prefer the Data session disconnection on pressing Hangup button.

Thanks again.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
GPRS connection is terminated usually with double press the red button - this does not work for the WM6.5?
[HTC Tornado] desihu:
hey THANK YOU for this nice neat tip, I didn't knew that

it works for me now!!!

infact I then tried doing double pressing while an application was open, it somehow also closes the active app. Google Maps closed, though WM5torage did not, nether did MyPhone

Thanks again.
[HTC Tornado] rajathvsm:
Can I know which one of these has xT9? I've used his ROMs and then reverted back to a PRO rom. Now, I've forgotten which of Gregory's ROMs had xT9. Please help.

Tried installing the xT9 cab in the cabs but it doesnt work. I think it was for only pro roms.
[HTC Tornado] desihu:
if I am right atleast the lite and superlite don't have the xT9

thanks a lot for the new version.. i used the version from the beginpost more than a year, but this week i had several problems when calling. i couldn't call or people couldn't reach me.

with this version everything works fine.

why isn't this topic a sticky?
[HTC Tornado] lmf:
I just finished installing this rom onto my qtek 8310 and my bluetooth would go missing in my wireless manager. also if i tried to enable wifi it would just crash. the good thing is that i can fix this by rebooting my phone a couple of times untill the bluetooth setting show up inside wireless manager. did anyone experienced this?
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
Did you do Format BINFS before flashing?
[HTC Tornado] amivoytec:
Hey.

What's the differences between Lite, SuperLite and NeoEdition?

Why first post have old versions of this ROM? Gregory posted newer in 23 page of this thread.

I have just flashed to Lite version and I'm happy. Thanks Gregory! Keep on good work. :)
[HTC Tornado] Beretta1526:
I took a little longer preparing for it than I think I may have needed, but just upgraded one of my Cingular 2125 (Faraday) to WinMo Std 6.5. I don't have a SIM in the phone, but I'm pretty sure it worked. I think I like this enough that I might have to do it to my other 2125.

SPV-C600

Hi, I just bought a SPV-C600 from ebay and flashed the 'Lite' ROM on it.

Wow, such an improvement, thanks !!!

But ... as has been previously mentioned, GPRS stops working on this model.

The fix is to update the radio, but ...

I have tried downloading HTC_Tornado_Radio_02.61.01.exe from rapidshare (can't post link coz I'm new here) but I don't get the option to download it.

Can a kind person either

a) confirm that the file is still there and I'll get a friend who isn't on Virgin Media (my ISP) to download it for me, or

b) put it somewhere for me to download or send it to me through xda or email me it at xdad1@my-email.org.uk (disposable email address, I own the domain)

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

UPDATE : The file *IS* still there, but at www rapidshare com not just rapidshare com !!!
[HTC Tornado] Marsbar:
So you don't need the file any more?
[HTC Tornado] gingerlee:
Hi, thanks for the reply. No I don't need the file anymore, thankyou.

Sorry for the delay in responding - Christmas happened !

I got the file but it stopped the phone from booting - but the radio from tobbbie's kitchen got it working again.

GingerLee.

[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Hey - I got it fixed!

When migrating my kitchen to OS Builder and then to WM6.1 (to get exceptions from repeating meetings treated right), I also came across this weird behavior. I was stunned to notice that nobody seems to care about this and nobody published the simple solution - not even Google found a single match.

The changed behavior is documented only with WM 6.5 but is present already in WM6.1 (I uses the latest S740/Rose as Donor). See the entry at MSDN here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff599655.aspx

So the simple solution is to create a DWORD named "SysVolIgnoreSilent" under the path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume" and assign a value of "1" to it. Then you have your old behavior back!

Should work with any WM6.1 and WM 6.5 ROM - check your tpcutil.dll if the string is there.
[HTC Tornado] baron22:
Does this rom have a camera ?

I've not really been following the WM6.5 developments .. the last rom I new of had the camera removed.

Wifi OK

Flashed first time the other day according to guide by karhoe with following ROM(?):

WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval

Everything very good except Wifi did not work.

Flashed again with above ROM and Wifi works OK.

when i installed its just the same menu as wm6.1
[HTC Tornado] ibnefahim:

[HTC Tornado] ibnefahim:
I am Talking about This Type of Menu

So, try some PRO ROM.

That's touch interface, what's Your plan to move that menu up and down ?

With joy ? No thanks.
[HTC Tornado] leungda:
I want to know some information about flashing.

On the read it said "format BINFS 02200000" but on the picture it show "format BINFS 01E00000"

I want to know which one is a correct address.
[HTC Tornado] blackheartxix:
just type format BINFS without the numbers
[HTC Tornado] thacen:
Though we reduce size of the rom very much it will always occupy a fair amount of storage after flashed... so to get maximum storage we need to format with the number.. it is a claimed from some experts so you try.. command is:

format BINFS <number>

where <number> should be near the size of the ROM in hexadecimal. Try and please confirm it and share your findings here.
[HTC Tornado] moalesipufos:
I waiting a pro version...
[HTC Tornado] ibnefahim:
there are already pro version of wm 6.5 here

To work around this problem go to Settings > Security > Device Lock

Set up the device lock before you create the exchange account.
[HTC Tornado] Raz`m'Chaz:
Color Scheme

In 6.1, setting the Text:Black color scheme would leave the background color alone. With this 6.5 ROM, setting Text:Black also sets the background color to Black.

Which ROM version is buggy?

I prefer the previous, 6.1-type, behaviour.

Otherwise, this is a good n' fast ROM. Nice!

-c-
[HTC Tornado] Raz`m'Chaz:
Nevermind! I installed rickwyatt's Titanium Today screen and now I can't disable "getting started' bar because Welcome Center can't be found. How can I fix this?

[HTC Tornado] leungda:
Thanks rwhiteside

It works on the password setting screen. Now, I am having another problem on Exchange

I am having an error message "0x85010013" error when sync folders. I am very sure that it is not the exchange server. I have another WM6 (Tytn II phone) working fine.

Do you know what it means?

BTW, I tested the GPRS, WI-FI and Camera. All working fine. I didn't have change to test the stereo bluetooth headset and I will try it soon.

The thing I don't like is the new version of IE mobile. It is not really user-friendly.
[HTC Tornado] SGregory:
leungda, which version do you use?
[HTC Tornado] SGregory:
moalesipufos, can you rename Title of treat to "WM 6.5 Standard(Smartphone) ENG build OS5.2.21234-By Gregory"

And move message:

But I flashed this rom and it seems that my contacts are gone.

All of which were stored on my sim card.

How can I pointthe contacts to retrieve the info from my sim?

I don't know what you mean by what version

I am using Exchnage 2007 and

After quick test, it seems to be faster than WM6.1 with HTC sliding panel. Bluetooth and camera ok, Tomtom 7 qvgablack ok (excepted installation which fail, so I passed through WM5 emulator to install it).

Thanks a lot SGregory :)
[HTC Tornado] SGregory:
baron22, to show your SIM contacts, go to Settings-Phone-Call Options and check "Show SIM contacts".

B]leungda[/B] can test Active Sync in beta version? (http://wce.by/gregory/WM6.5.Tornado/WM6.5.Standart.ENG.Build.21234/WM6.5.ENG.Build.21234_tornado.rar)
[HTC Tornado] leungda:
No, it doesn' work. It show the following

I was using "WM6 Platinum Edition 5.2.1711.18165.0.5.0 SP1 by NiTroGen". Everything working fine including the "password setting" screen.
[HTC Tornado] leungda:
I got a solution for my problem. I have to enable the "Allow non-provisionable devices" on the exchange. This setting specifies whether older devices that may not support application of all policy settings are allowed to connect to Exchange 2007 by using Exchange ActiveSync. I don't know why the WM6.5 become a old device and VM6.0 is a new device. So funny.

Another funny thing is:

On Exchange, Exchange read the WM6.5 ROM using "User Agent: MSFT-SPhone/0.0.0"

and on my Tytn II WM6.0 official ROM using "User Agent: MSFT-PPC/5.2.402"

Maybe, this is the reason that the WM6.5 become a old device. Maybe, if you can put some number on the User Agent like :"User Agent: MSFT-SPhone/5.2.402". The Exchange will work without problem.

ALso, I have a regular 4GB Kingston MiniSD. The ROM only read 2GB.......

Two more things. Is it possible to put the Neo theme on it? and how can I change the "MobileOperator startup and shutdown" screen to something else?

There is no way for me to turn on the Direct Push?
[HTC Tornado] baron22:
Thanks :)

This is my new rom of choice :D

How do you click links in Internet Explorer. I've been having some trouble doing this. Sometimes I can get the selection box around a link, but it's very hard. It was a lot easier in 6.1. Tips?
[HTC Tornado] puffin_nugs:
works fine for me, just push the * once.

theres quite a few bugs ive found, they are minor but annoying. like using liveand you get email, it brings upthe email screen but its invisible and have to hit home key to even move the joystick again. this happens in the homescreen. it should just display the notifcation instead of opening up the email screen.

reciving other messages like texts also this happens but not in the homescreen, only when running a program or installing something.

-after a reboot or full shutdown, i cannot get a edge connection until i make a call or something.

its running very good other than a few minor bugs and this is now goign to be my main rom for awhile now
[HTC Tornado] george_sh:
Toad,

try Lite version of this ROM. There's the old Internet Explorer from WM6.1
[HTC Tornado] Toad:
Is it something I'm doing wrong that makes it hard to select the text, or is everyone having the link selection problem in the full version? I'd actually like to use the new IE if I could select links properly.

Also, a bug I found (at least in the full version) is that video playback in Windows Media Player stops after a few minutes and the screen goes black (screen timeout issue I assume). The strange thing is that it takes several minutes to timeout when in WMP rather than the < 30 sec. it usually takes to timeout.
[HTC Tornado] Marcin1989:
Great rom. THANKS
[HTC Tornado] puffin_nugs:
-sync from live appears invisable on homescreen, same with text messages sometimes. have to hit home button to make it go away and use joystick again

-t9 dont work sometimes, like opening a link into skyfire the t9/abc wont be there and you can only input numbers, work normaly if you open the progam manually.

-edge wont be displayed until a call or something is placed (like that in pro rom too though)

-it seems the homescreen will sometimes randomly freeze (happened twice in last couple days) and requires the battery to be pulled to use the phone again

-sometimes certain programs like contacts, messages and others will not open, and requires a reboot. they show up in recent programs but do not open on phone.

-the bottom "taskbar" does not change color even when changing schemes, so say i change to blue scheme, the bottom stays black but the top will be blue. this makes using the windows default theme very ugly IMO.

- new IE is a pain to use (again probaly not this roms fault)

default page images are really grainy, pixelated no matter the zoom level.

also where is the registry keys for the startup screens? i cant seem to find them in this rom. i want replace the second one with *none* but just cant seem to find it.

all i can think of now, very minor stuff
[HTC Tornado] SGregory:
puffin_nugs, if you want change color scheme, please, rename HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/SoftKeyBar to SoftKeyBar0 and reboot your phone.

For Qtek 8300/iMate SP5m/t-Mobile SDA US extract the .lnk files included in the attached file into \Windows directory!

Hi everyone, hi Gregory!

I'm using again my good old SPV C600 / HTC Tornado (French model with a French carrier) and flashed it with this ROM in version 1.0.
