ROM Test, Screenshots, Questions

Hi,

Sorry, for posting in German this afternoon. I followed the rules and translated my post so more people can understand it.

After reading in this forum for a long time (checking the wiki, understanding your BA, etc.) I finally registered. Your work helped me quite often so first I want to thank everyone.

Keep on working like that.

First I flashed xplode's ROM WM6.5 Build 23004 WWE R7.1. Ran quite stable but I couldn't neither phone nor send messages.

Maybe because of the English ROM not accepting my German T-Mobile SIM?

Anyway, I didn't check it in details, because I decided to give your ROM WM6.5 Build 23004 German/Deutsches ROM V1.0 a chance, d-two.

Apparently my BA doesn't like XCPUscalar or the other way round ;)

The Screen freezed after only a few inputs so the only thing I could do was to perform a soft reset but it still kept freezing after a starting an app.

Scrolling was very slow too. Once the XCPUscalar options appeared, but clocking down the CPU didn't fix the problem.

Do I have to change something on my BA to run XCPUscalar or does the app just not harmonize with my BA (Intel PXA263 processor)?

Next, I installed your newest ROM WM6.5.1 beta Build 23052 (english/german) in German, d-two.

It's running very stable and fast and the GUI reacts fluently, no scrolling problems anymore.

WORKING

- Phone Calls (incoming and outgoing) - work

- Text Messaging (incoming and outgoing) - works

- Buttons on BA: Calendar, Contacts, Voice Recorder, Camera, Windows, Message, IE, OK, D-Pad - work

- Camera and voice recorder function properly, but you can only exit the camera mode by pressing the red lit hang-up button; no exit button.

- WLAN - works (first it didn't find any hotspot so I put ssid, pw, etc. in manually and it worked, after a while it found all the 20something :eek: networks in my area automatically

- LEDs for Network and Bluetooth - work (didn't work for me when I had xplode's release and your 20034 german rom installed)

- ActivSync - works (but I could only test syncing "favorites" and "files" because I haven't installed outlook. yeah, I only use thunderbird ;)

At the first time syncing I could set up the new device in ActiveSync and now it connects to the BA flawlessly.

When I had WM2003 installed I could choose between the 2 pairing options "pair as guest" and "standard" every time.

I experienced that I have to kill all running processes on the BA via taskmanger before syncing. Otherwise AS won't connect to the BA.

NOT WORKING

- Close Button in wireless manager doesn't work, but you can exit using the hang-up button (as others have posted, too)

- Home Button to return to the start screen doesn't work on my BA

- I think there was another place where the OK/EXIT Button didn't work, but i can't remember where

I am very happy with this so far, thanks for your work, d-two.

A few problems accounted on my BA, maybe they have nothing to do with your ROM release, but perhaps someone can help.

After changing the SIM card or just taking out the battery and putting it back in the booting process stops at the 4 colored screen. "R" and "G" display "NONE", just the Device CE Image Version "D" says 5M6.5.1.Softreset doesn't fix it, I have to perform a hard reset, go into bootloader mode and clean the registry and format the storage (Enable KITL: NO, Clean Registry Hive: YES und Format Storage: YES). Now the BA will start up and boot the OS but I have set up all the settings, etc. again. Does someone know how to fix this?

A few general questions about installing apps on my BA.

I already know a bit about flashing and installing ROMs (debranded a t-mobile BA, etc.). First I wanted to have a relatively stable version of WM6 running before installing apps. Which apps should I install? I know I pretty much depends on what you want to do and like. ;)

But which apps are a must have. For example increasing stability/power of the BA. I have read a lot threads but it's a vast amount of applications people use.

I got the cabs from Helmi's release and the EXTROM from explode's release.

One last topic. I haven't merged EXTROM and storage yet. Should I do that? I know that WM5 and WM6 in contrast to WM2003 don't use non persisting memory for storing programs.

In the EXTROM on the BA are there are currently the old T-Mobile cabs lying around. Can I roll back the memory merging and split it again in case I want to downgrade to 2003?

I know that you can install cabs either from a sd card or from the EXTROM. Is it a good idea to put the cabs you like in the EXTROM folder, so they're executed automatically

via autorun.exe and cfg.txt after a hardreset? I'd like to do so, but I need to unlock the EXTROM first.

I tweaked the registry once with PHM Registry Edit to make the EXTROM visible (changing "MountFlags" key in the registry from 1 to 0) but this doesn't work with WM6.

I tried the xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB but it doesn't work. Tried unhide and then unlock. Error message tells me that ""unlockextrom" could not be opened.

It either hasn't a trustable security certificate or one of the components can't be found." How can I fix this and successfully unlock the EXTROM?

I hope to solve the problems with your help. Thanks in advance.
