This may be good for us:http://www.wmexperts.com/palm-treo-pro-finally-gets-unlocker-custom-roms

They made a rom for the Palm Treo Pro, which has the same screen resolution as the Epix, and probably more users, so hopefully more chefs will be thinking about fitting 6.5 into that resolution.

Also: it "just happens to be one of the latest versions of WM6.5.1 (Build 23409)."

I'll try to check it out and see what the bugs are from the Treo Pro users.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] acabtp:
Yeah, as you can see from 23409 looking great on a 320x320 device, there is no reason that we could not do the same, except (hint hint) nobody has released the information on how they did the ROM for the Epix. If trashcan would just share that, we would have many more people cooking for the Epix.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TravisN:
I can confirm everything maillota states in his post. In addition, I'm noticing a similar dependency issue with viewing pictures from the "Today" application, so something's up with the picture viewer in addtion to the camera.

I have to say, I'm a but underwhelmed with WM 6.5 in general and I starting to think I'll stick with this Epix (a loaner) instead of getting a fancy new WM 6.5 phone like an HTC Touch Diamond 2. But this is much better than 6.1. At least now the touchscreen can be used (mostly) without a stylus and the interface doesn't look like 1985.

Thanks so much for your hard work on this, trashcan! Its very much appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TravisN:
That's pretty much it. I would also be sure I to un-check "Format large..." (I forget the rest). So the process (for me at least) was as follows:

1. I first updated my Epix to ID1

2. Configued a sync partnership with the Epix and ActiveSync (not sure if this is mandatory or not)

2. I installed Grand Prix 1.9.2 (XP). I hear that the Vista version works OK.

3. Connected the Epix. ActiveSync kicks in.

4. Fired up Grand Prix. Set the image to LX. Set PDA to the .bin file. Clicked "Detect"

5. Rebooted the phone

6. Grand Prix detects the phone when it starts to boot. You can then click "upload" and watch the magic progress bar go from left to right....

You're done in about 15 minutes. The phone will reboot and you will see orange. At this point you can disconnect the Epix if you want. Grand Prix will complain, but its no longer connected anyhow. As maillot stated in an earlier post, the initial boot does take a while. Eventually, you will get to the set up windows screen and all should be well.

Hope this helps....

Pls help me to uprom. My error:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cherrybombaz:
Make sure that you press detect first and that the phone is in modem mode. The phone should then be turned off and left plugged in. Then turn it on again and it should be detected.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krazyphire:
Just installed WM 6.5 and I'm very impressed! Thank You very much Trashcan! Feels like we're finally on an even playing field with the i780. No issues seen so far except for the mouse issue. Its fine though because WM 6.5 is very scroll friendly which 6.1 wasn't which is the only reason I used the mouse. The front feels blackjack 2-esque 6.1 which I love!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
So is the problem with the camera fixed in the newest update?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mailliw_17:
yup it is fixed
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XA Hydra:
MMS messaging working with the 6.5 rom? Mouse cursor working? ( I've seen conflicting reports that the issues are gone, and that the issues remain) It seems like most everything else is...

So what is the news with the Epix 6.5 ROM?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
No idea... the forum just kind of died all of the sudden. Maybe somebody started a new thread and didn't tell us... :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cascade2:
What JVM are folks using with the new ROMs? I'm using the cooked 6.1 and it appears to have the Java app removed. I want to check out the new Opera Mini beta so I'm looking for a good JVM. The one that came with the Epix seemed pretty good. Anybody have a link to that one?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mitch1:
Esmertec Jbed

I'm using an older build (20080222.3.1) to run all my Java progs. Much better than the original one that came with the Epix, as I don't get any security allow prompts. Search these forums for the latest.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Quasar23:
Any one still working on the 6.5 ROM for the Epix? Also I heard from another individual that Samsung is going to release an official Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for the Epix. . . ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] midnightblade:
Makes sense. The epix came with a windows button which I believe was one of the requirements for windows 6.5 or something. But I can't wait to see what samsung pushes out there.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trashcan:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pulsorock:
Great! Thanks Trashcan!

a build of it with 15mb page pool will be great! :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] veener79:
I have a question. I have a phone with out the ID1 update. My 4th phone did not have it after all the issues. If I do the 6.5 update will it return me to the GPS issues with the ID1 update? Or does that only happen if you had the ID1 update on your phone before the 6.5 upgrade?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] midnightblade:
The way I understand it, the 6.5 Roms are only for the phone, not for the radio. The ID1 update updates both the phone and the radio which is what is causing the gps issues. If you don't update the radio then you shouldn't have an issue.

Oh a side note, thanks trashcan!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] veener79:
Can someone confirm this? If so I know what I am doing to my phone tomorrow when I have the day off. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
It's been confirmed about 6 times in this thread, these are PDA ROMs only.

Promo to Trashcan's Epix 6.5 build over at pocketnow.com!

http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/samsung-epix-windows-mobile-65-leaked
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VinceInSeattle:
I downloaded and flashed 23037 this weekend and like it. Windows Media Player seems better organized. The task bar at the bottom makes things more "thumbable." As for the "display issues" that acaptb objects to - you're totally entitled to your opinion, but I think the larger text and spacing between menu choices are great - more thumbable, and much more readable. Not everyone has 25-year-old eyes! Looking forward to 23052, hope it fixes the mouse cursor bug, but can get along with it either way. Also looking forward to the debut of the MS apps store. And once again, thanks to Trashcan!

Can't Upload 6.5 to Epix w/ Vista

I cannot seem to update my OS with the tool. The GradPrix software can't find my device.

Any suggestions?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
read this whole thread. There are multiple places where different flashing questions are asked and then addressed.

post #263 I believe might have some insight.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RD1999:
Yes, i've been following those instructions from MySamsungEpix.com. For some reason the application loader cannot find my device when you attempt the installation. I am running Vista and I am the administrator of the PC.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] acabtp:
i am all for the larger, more thumbable elements.

the things I have a problem with I do not see as a matter of opinion; they are definitive usability issues. for example, look at this wireless network selection screen.

it's simply not usable at 320x320 on the epix, opinion does not enter into it.

same thing with the start, ok, X and other misc icons. it is a fact: the resources either are simply the wrong size or being are being rendered at the wrong size. again, opinion does not enter into it.

go look around at screenshots of 6.5 running on other handsets to get a better idea of what it should look like. if you are content to look past the graphical stuff and run the 23037 build, rock on. I am not, so I am looking forward to the 23052 ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] acabtp:
You say you are an administrator on the PC, but are you actually logged in as Administrator or right clicking and 'Run as Administrator' when you launch GrandPrix? Being an administrator and running as 'Administrator' aren't the same.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Handonam:
use XP, not vista nor 7
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] acabtp:
i've had no problems using GrandPrix on both XP and 7
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Quasar23:
I'm excited for the Windows Mobile 6.5 23052 build for the Epix to come out, I'm sure Trashcan will do a great job
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VinceInSeattle:
acabtp, still looks OK to me. The scroll bar suggests there is a list; tap the down arrow to move down the list. I sort of see your point, but don't access these configuration menus every day anyway. I don't think I need to see every choice in the list at once and don't see it as a bug or a big deal, although it is not the most elegant presentation. Whaddya want for free?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
I'm ready for Samsung to release a new radio update with that. You know something that'll fix the GPS and not break anything else.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tombcat142000:
Thanks trashcan

We should somehow try to economically gratify trashcan for all his hard work. Does he have a donations link or something?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ScottyNuttz:
I hope that was their intent - since they kinda F'ed up everyone's phones by sending out bad code. I suspect that if the previous update had been generally bug-free, they would not be bothering with upgrading a relatively unpopular phone with WM6.5.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] acabtp:
I sent him a PM about that a couple days ago, but haven't heard from him.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XSafire:
Excited, but I just wish he would release his method, then we have a whole community developing it rather then us all depending on one person.

Password is not being enforced - Epix

Hello, I just got a Refurbished Epix after struggling with the BlackJack 2 and battling with the ATT customer service. I read a lot of horror stories and was upset with the phone before I even got it but the phone actually exceeded my expectations (had no problems with tethering via USB, not sure if you can do that via BlueTooth as I could do on my BB Curve). I do have the power drain issue though b/c of the ID1 update I suppose (but I mostly use GPS feature in my car where I have $3 car charger and to reboot the phone is not a huge deal)...so that issue I can live with.

Anyway, MY ISSUE is that I can't properly lock the device. My phone is connected to the corporate e-mail system and naturally I have some sensitive data on the phone. On my BJ2 the timeout was forced at 30 min and if I press the END button the device would lock, and you'd need to ENTER a PW to unlock it... that's exactly what I don't see with Epix. Pressing the END button does nothing (it just blinks) and if I lock the phone with the on-screen button, I can unlock it w/o any PW... Any idea how I can easily really lock the phone or at least enforce 15 min max session expiration. Thanks.

Settings/Personal/Lock - Doesn't work

Thanks but if I go to Settings/Personal/Lock - It doesn't work. It does show me the screen that should supposedly work as a "blanket" with num. keepad unless I unlock the phone, but instead if I hit Cancel it just closes that blanket screen w/o any PWs and I'm to the main screen...no PW required... is this a bug or what?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeNsTrKe15:
go to settings/personal/lock. a keypad will show up. enter code and press unlock. there you'll be able to uncheck the box that says 'prompt if device unused for'. that will deactivate the lock
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] slavick10:
who to enforce the password

How do I enforce the password? Say if I need to step out of the conf room but don't want to carry my phone around and don't want to leave it unlocked... I was able to lock the phone at my will with BJ2...but not with this one...Am I missing something?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeNsTrKe15:
go to settings/personal/lock and then check the box that says 'prompt if unused for' and create a password. the lock screen is easily interchangable for you to have or not to have a lock on the phone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] midnightblade:
I don't know what's wrong with your phone, but pushing and holding end definitely locks my phone. You are pushing and holding it right? Not just a simple tap?

Oh, nvm. I just set up a lock myself and noticed that the end button doesn't do anything anymore except make the screen flash. Huh,that's weird.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Quasar23:
Is the WM6.5 build 23037 going to be fixed or are you just going to the next build?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trashcan:
The 23052 build is a lot better than the 23037 so I will not making changes to the 23037 build. Again, I understand many of you would like to get your hands onto how to cook a rom for the Epix but currently, I do not have the time to write out instructions. I can give you a basic idea. Cooking the Epix rom is almost identical to making an Omnia rom.

I am still in the process of tweaking the 23052 build. It will get release when I ironed out most of the issues.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
epix cooking

any hints or help with the differences? Just a list of differences would be cool. unless it were a long list. for instance...

It is identical to flashing an Omnia rom except for:

1.

2.

3.

...

etc.

then we can just use the omnia guide and modify it accordingly without the need for a huge step by step fool/idiot proof tutorial.

of course I am more then happy to wait and let the pro do what he does!

but I also have the itch to dabble a bit myself.

Thanks for all you do trashcan! I feel like its my birthday with each build release you do!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pulsorock:
Thanks a lot trashcan!

I don't mind waiting extra days for the tweaking to be completed...it sure is for the best. I've been using build 23017 (15mb page pool) for over a month now without any problems and I love it... so if these extra waiting days for an update make it even better than 23017 is.... the wait is sure welcomed.

Thanks and good luck!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeNsTrKe15:
oh... to enforce the lock, hit the power button to turn off the screen. when you hit the power button again to wake up the phone the keypad will show to unlock it

So far everything is pretty descent...the only problem I found was with my MMS and Internet settings...it said something about wap.cingular and isp.cingular, even though we have ATT. I could not receive pic messages. Also I the mouse works but if you put on 4 way navigation there is a small square that sits in the middle of your screen and glitches through out your apps..it happens everytime you reset.

I'm assuming that's just a bug but as for the MMS anyone have any ideas what settings I need to put to get that working?

Thanks again I'm loving this build !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
they still use the Cingular servers, you might want to go in and make sure the username wap@cingulargprs.com and CINGULAR1 for the password. As for the block that shows up with 4 way navigation, you can use my script a few pages back with mortscript.

Screenshots of 23052

Here's a few screen shots of the new build (Thanks Trashcan). I've been using the 23017 for several weeks and it has been really good. There's a few things here that i'll need to get used on this build to but overall seems really good especially having bigger buttons on the bottom panel and in other areas. I've found a couple of oddities like the 2nd circle on the e-mail buttons which seem a bit off. Once I figured out what they were supposed to do it's fine. On the calendar, all day events seem really large and limits the amount of readable screen for actual appointments - but again, I just need to get used to it. You may see the weather panel which was screwed up (text just really close together) in 23017 and the same in 23052 but it's something I added from another source but not sure how to fix. That's what I've seen so far but Trashcan's done an excellent job in keeping this phone up to date and functional. Thanks again!!
