WM 6.5 is so much more finger friendly, I stopped using the mouse cursor all together. Your little script works great for my setup and completely eliminate the "mouse droppings".

Thanks!

i have created a TCPMP player that is perfect for the Epix. i have found the best plugins and added them to the TCPMP 0.81 version. i can play flv1, flv4, wmv, 3gp, mp4, divx, xvid, avc, avi, and every other common video varient around. the only videos i have found that won't play are avc encoded flash videos & high resoltion flv4 videos. equalizer works. added video drivers so it could run on other pocket pc phones. avrcp control was added. added 24 languages. works on 6.1 & 6.5. two working subtitle plugins. if you want to try it let me know.

Ive seen that, I just fixed the digitizer on the phone to fix the touchscreen calibration being on loop. Usually if people have this problem, its your digitizer. And there is prob. a portion that is way off no matter how you calibrate.

After I fixed it I was really able to appreciate this release by trashcan. It really has made this phone great.

I just learned about SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, installed it on my Epix, and I am quite impressed.

Has anyone compared this shell with Windows Mobile 6.5? I would prefer to save the $29.95 if the forthcoming 6.5 upgrade will give me a user interface that is closer to SPB Mobile Shell.

Thanks!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BerT0069:
problems

Im having problems with Resco Photo manager ever since the last update to 28008. I had been running the 23017 and this app ran flawless. I loved it for my pics. Now since the update, its super slow to load the thumbs and when you select one, it wasnt to flash in and out of full resolution to LOW resolution, I did this video to try and capture the issue, Hope someone here has some input on this

I removed it, then went to reinstall it, and it refuses to install. I downloaded the file fresh, copied to my phone, and tried again, and it still won't work. Any fix for this?

Hi,

I have a quick question, but I think i already know the answer. I'm a TouchPro2 user, and am just looking to upgrade my wifes Epix. If I do so, it seems that the ID1 update will cause GPS/battery issues, per previous posts. Is there any fix for this yet?

If the GPS/battery drain issue is always present after flashing WM6.5, then I think it is a no go for us, as my wife uses the GPS fairly frequently. If there isn't a fix for this yet, is it possible to flash 6.5 without the ID1 update, or is this not compatible?

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fb2:
I don't know what trashcan's plans are, but the official WM6.5 for the Epix is coming out next month. I plan on waiting for that.

EDIT: It appears that they are behind schedule on some of the other updates, so maybe it will be a little longer than originally expected.

Make silent button Vibrate

Does anyone know how to make it so that holding down the "Silent" button puts the phone into Vibrate mode instead of completely silent? I used to do it on my BJII by playing w/ the ringer profiles but the Epix/WinMo6.5 doesn't have that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChrisSpera:
Having been in this bed with Samsung before, waiting for the i700's WM2003SE upgrade, I am NOT holding my breath, and that's why I mentioned the other builds to trashcan...

We'll see what happens. I have no idea how easy or not cooking for the Epix might be...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
You definitely do not want to update with the ID1 update. As you mentioned, it hoses the GPS. There's at least one user here that has flashed trashcan's rom without having applied the ID1 upgrade. No reason to do so. ID1 makes changes to both the phone and pda modules. Trashcan's upgrades only change the pda module.

Samsung is to release the "official" WM 6.5 upgrade sometime in February. We're all hoping it addresses the GPS issue along with the other challenges we've had with the phone. In the meantime, and not counting on Samsung to make their due date, I'm hoping trashcan hits us with another couple of releases to keep us occupied.

Steve
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DotNetDev:
yeah, i dont trust manufacturer/carrier dates at all.

so it sounds like my best course of action here is:

-skip ID1

-install trashcans latest rom

-wait for newer trashcan roms or samsung/att roms, and enjoy 6.5 in the meantime

sound like a plan?

price for the epix

i paid 245.00 for mine without a contract and went through the unlocking and upgrading process and have been offered 275.00 for it ...but like it to much

I am thinking I am going to give this a try today. The install seems very strait foward. I am running Vista 64bit and I do not see that as a issue. My phone does not have ID1 update. :) I am getting a lot of connection errors right now. I think I need redo my phone.

This is the only issue. For about the last 30min I have not been able to download the rom. I keep on getting "Unfortunately right now our servers are overloaded and we have no more download slots left for non-members.".

Is there a different place I can dowload this rom from?

I just noticed I'm having problems with email notification on the today screen (its not notifying me that I have new email) and when I go in to check my email, it has trouble downloading multiple emails at once. It only downloads one email and is stuck saying it is retrieving the next email. The email account settings are exactly as how I have it on my BlackJackII and it fetches email fine on that phone.

Where'd all the memory go?

I got my Epix back from the shop after a motherboard swap and noticed it was back on the original rom - the FOTA update was gone. Seemed like good news so I decided to go straight to trashcan's 28008 rom.

The one problem I'm seeing is that program memory has gone from 77.34 free out of 107.91 in the original rom to 55.55 free out of 97.37 with the new one. The 15MB buffer pool might account for some of this, I don't know what the default was for this rom, but over 20MB is missing! It sounds like something else is at play.

One other thing worth mentioning is I saw similar variances in the Kaiser 6.5 roms (went back to the Kaiser while the Epix was in the shop). Some roms showed total memory of about 90MB while others went to about 100.

Anyone know how to recover some/all of that missing memory?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
How do you figure? The original blackjack waited forever for a 5.0 to 6.0 upgrade, and did finally get it. Of course there were cooked updates for that eons beforehand and I'd imagine there are much newer updates (6.1 was out and cooked for it when I got mine) but it was still looking quite uncertain late in the game if the phone would ever get the update and it ultimately did.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] keff:
Big thanks to Trashcan for his ROM, getting used to standard 6.5 when it comes (without the large bottom tray) will be hard :).

The ROM works nicely so far (except GPS, but that is Samsungs screwup), however I miss the WMP on lock screen (I have seen it on the screenshot, but with 28008 ROM, when I play an album in WMP, there are no controls on lockscreen, which is sad - Epix could be a wonderful mp3 player...).

Anyone knows how to activate this? The button graphics are in \Windows folder, so it probably is just a matter of settings things right way...

EDIT: OK, so it isn't possible yet, the original thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4282130&postcount=424, and the image is a courtesy of a xda dev who assembled the lockscreen in photoshop from parts currently found in rom... (LS_MediaControl_*.png)

Help!!

The speaker on my Epix broke and so I need to return it, as I have insurance on it. I have been running the winmo 6.5 and can't figure out how to reflash back to the Epix's original drivers and stuff.

So do yall think it will matter if I send them in a broken phone with a cooked ROM or do I need to get it back to 6.0 somehow?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] keff:
I have looked into it as well, yes, there is a support in lockscreen but the important part for it to work is that relevant program comunicates with the homescreen/lockscreen. It is usually done through filling the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen (or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome for homescreen), but WMP probably does this differently, because when I play music from titanium screen, the song name does not appear in CHome registry. Other plugins, however work the way that app writes relevant data to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\plugin name\screen name\key=value (string), sets the CHome/Updated to 1, and plugin is just xml section that refers to key, and windows will insert the value read from registry.

So, good luck, although I am afraid that you would need to make sure that WMP communicates with lockscreen plugin, which it may not yet (it is a development ROM, it's possible that thay have lockscreen xml in place, but WMP does not cooperate yet...).

96 DPI for 28008 Builds

*USE AT YOUR OWN RISK*

Please back up your phone before installing!

I've made a 96dpi resource pack for the 28008 build. You'll need to do the following:

1. Install sdkcerts.cab

2. Install RealVGA_11.cab

3. Install 28008_96dpi.cab

(Phone may want to reboot)

4. Use RealVGA program to switch phone to 96dpi

(If it warns about missing msimar.96.dll, it is okay to proceed.)

NOTE: Before uninstalling, remember to switch your phone back to 128dpi. Otherwise, you'll end up needing to hard reset.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andyastandyast:
I followed the steps exactly and it works beautifully.

The only issues that I am having are as follows:

1. The application buttons (at the bottom of the screen) are a little pixelated, but nothing that hinders readability.

2. The syncing icon in ActiveSync looks weird, doesn't affect the functionality and since it is only activeSync, who cares.

There may be other issues, but I have yet to find them. Overall I love the extra screen real estate.

I also installed the 4 column grid fix from CareAce, (http://www.careace.net/2010/02/02/m...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Careace+(CareAce+RSS))

Update:

Installed the Robert_Batman_Blue Fully Updated.cab posted above and the pixelation is solved (by using different buttons).

Also noticed that the Phone screen has a small bar at the bottom the bleeds through from the previous screen (seems to be due to a height issue). Does not affect functionality in any way.
