The kitchen mentioned above does not dump the py8 Rom correctly.

Another kitchen similar to that that dumps and builds the rom correctly was posted by satsohn. See post #2 for direct link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3038392#post3038392

Another kitchen posted by nokser is suitable. See post #3 for direct link:

http://www.modaco.com/content/i60x-...s-mobile-r-6-1-and-kitchens-for-samsung-i600/

The nokser kitchen is using newer utils but when cooking the rom it needs specific files to be placed on hard coded directories.

Anyone who has experience cooking for the i607 is more than welcomed to produce an English only rom (I am still at the beginning of my learning curve).

dermann / aitrus - do you know how to contact stacra ? maybe he can help us since he used to cook these roms quite often on txcaesar.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Aitrus:
starca is busy these days and he has moved on to the iphone ive already asked a few times haha ill flash my phone to these tonight let Da_G know about all this it might help him. :D
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] The Jack of Clubs:
need to get someone to build a proper rom (engwrish!) or slap a kitchen together a little nicer.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ido533:
If it helps anyone, below are the changes that are needed to make Da_G kitchen compatible as well:

Solving dumping error:

This kitchen estimates the py8 rom length incorrectly (0x0431BCE0) using %yar% parameter:

cvrtbin -r -a 0 -l %yar% -w 32 wm6.b000ff

instead you can use a hardcoded value of 0x0483B7C0 as follows:

cvrtbin.exe -r -a 0 -w 32 -l 0x0483B7C0 wm6.b000ff

2. Using different version and parameter for "Tadzio tools":

This kitchen uses -hermes parameter for nbsplit

nbsplit -hermes wm6.nb0

instead using -acer

nbsplit -acer wm6.nb0

I do not know what is the difference between -acer and -hermes parameter but I know that it caused errors when working on py8 ROM

for this task one needs to downgrade all "Tadzio tools" from version

"NBSplit 2.1rc2" to version "NBSplit 2.0 RC 2" supporting the -acer parameter

I have not tested yet, but I assume this change needs to be applied also for the building stage where nbmerge needs to be used with -acer parameter instead of -hermes

These are basically the differences between Da_G kitchen and satsohn kitchen. Besides that they operate the same.

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ido533:
Thank you very much py8 :):):)

Since we do not speak Chinese, we had some hard time finding and downloading your valuable work that was published on zn520.

When you release the English could you post it here as well with a rapidshare link ?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] vietdh:

first impressions

This ROM is fast !!!

Just awesome.

Many thanks PY8.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Aitrus:
i cant download says theres no more for free users.

never mind thanks. :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] calvano915:
I've been anxiously waiting for this rom, and now that it's out in english...I have a few questions before installing...

How buggy is it? Will the bugs listed for the Chinese version exist for this version?

Is it worth it? Besides conversation view, Flash lite, new lock screen, and other minor things, what makes this worth having over 6.1? Especially considering there is no touch support on I607...

Is it better to wait? I use my phone daily and have no backup phone. I need something reliable, stable, and fully functioning. Is it worth waiting a few months or longer for more stable and enhanced roms to come out?

Is there a complete backup solution? Is there some kind of solution that will allow me to essentially "image/clone" my phone, so that I could restore if necessary?

Thanks in advance for any responses...I assume I should wait based on all my concerns...but I figured to ask in case I was really missing out on something :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] vietdh:
Many Thanks Py8 and ido533. I'll up ROM now :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ido533:
Hiן calvano915

I will try to answer on some of your questions based on initial basic experience from the 6.5 standard ROM that was created by PY8.

First of all this version includes power on/off animation + sounds. At first I was intimidated due to the loud screen that was on the original at&t ROM. However the new Samsung animation+sound much nicer and are not loud at all and i can live with it.

Looks - it now includes a nice sky and stars theme that i find very usefull since I prefer dark backgrounds. most important the upper part is dark sky which means there is no trouble seeing the white missed call icon when appears. I know I can always put my own background but i find the default one very nice and easy to read.

Speed - although i cannot benchmark and compare with my previous 6.1 ROM (bogart rev4 published at wiseworm.com) the current ROM looks fast. Previously on 6.1 I used to overclock it to 252MHz but now there is no such application preinstalled and IMHO it is fast enough.

Applications - the new ROM is modest with minimal applications installed.

On application I use quite often is giving me a bit troubles. Speakerphone (not included in ROM) crashes when pressing hide button. Nothing I can't handle, just press the home key instead.

As you said correctly, for the standard version, on a daily basis you will not see much of difference from previous wm6.1.

Settings - much more options are included in the display settings.

One thing that bothers me is that the connections settings I use quite often (changing BT and USB settings) are now on second page of settings so one more button click is needed.

I did not expect major changes as previously cooked ROMs had many new functions already inside. I do however wish this ROM will be less buggy with less crashes and OS stall. Not that there were so many before. For this I cannot tell now and I will have to see after prolonged usage.

> Is it better to wait?

Wait for what ? It is stable. It took me half a day putting back all my data and fav apps( and I also use it as my primary phone).

does the english version have the marketplace? the chinese one didnt and i found it impossible to get it on. also does it have this awesome version of ie? -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSljTKEK0SU cause i could use summat.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ido533:
Marketplace is not included as it is based on Chinese version without the Chinese support.

Re internet explorer, I fail to recognize the correlation between any version of ie and the word awesome...

If you want a good browser, i suggest installing skyfire or opera
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] The Jack of Clubs:
i want some marketplace. :P i like the ie joke. that made me giggle. and opera is for touch screen only. :(
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ido533:
Well, opera/opera mini has their quirks... and on top of that you are stuck with a less awesome version of ie in this ROM

Try skyfire
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ido533:
After installing the 6.5 ROM it happened to me twice that the battery got emptied without any warning.

This is new for me and did not happen with previous ROM. I do not know if it is related to the new ROM or that the battery needs replacement.

Does anyone else have battery issues after installing the new ROM ?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] I am Q:
Hi I'm a new poster, I've been lurking for a long time following the advice of brilliant minds here to keep this old i607 up to date...

it has been very helpful in keeping me sane, so thank you all.

but now I have a question that I can not find answers for:

py8's WM6.5 rom is very sexy. it's like having a brand new phone

another thing is getting MMS to work with att

yes I'm one of the idiots who still can't get MMS to work no matter how many ways I tweak the settings on this thing, can anyone point me in the right direction for that?

i was recently using enjoya's bogart rev 4

any and all help will absolutely be appreciated , as it always has been.

thank you

Q
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
i believe so...

haven't done this but i'll give it a try and tell you how it went, and what my settings are and junk.

ok i got it to work, but you have to put your providers connections settings in. including this one, go to your sms/mms then menu, then mulimedia msg. options, then mulimedia msg. profiles and add your providers mmsc url there and such. for you at&t ones here it is.

* Profile Name: AT&T MMS

* MMSC URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com

* Proxy: Checkmark

* Address: wireless.cingular.com

* Port: 80

* GPRS: MEdia Net

Hi Dermann.

I downloaded all file theme and weather software from your list. But I can not using it. Can you write guide detail?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
are you wanting to just use the weather i posted here, or are you wanting to make your home screen look similar to mine?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] I am Q:
those are the exact settings I have been using.

I decided to try the phone with someone else's sim to see what happened and it works. it turns out I have been paying for service that I have not been getting. att is crediting my account.

let that be a lesson folks: when you are sure you have done everything right... blame someone else :D

Link to Download Files

The link to download the rom and the weather cab from rapidshare seems to ne for premium members only. Is there anywhere else i can get these files??
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
what you want to do is when you click on the link is to then click on the free users tab to the left of the premium users one. thats just saying that the premium users can download the file faster than the free users.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] I am Q:
has anyone has anyone had success getting MSVC to install or tellme to work with this rom?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
If I switch to the TitanumWeather ShowWeather homescreen, it works, but the rest of the panels don't look right and several are missing like CHome. Any fix for this?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
yes, go to your settings\display\slidingpanel settings. and show or hide the ones you want, and reorganize it to your liking.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
That is exactly what I did.

If I use the Sliding panel 6.5 homescreen, the weather panel does not show up eventhough I have it set to "show"

If I use the Titanium ShowWether homescreen, the weather panel shows up, but the CHome panel does not show eventhough I have it set to show
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
ah ok. i meant no disrespect, i have CHome hidden on mine and i assumed that that was the problem in this case. i'll check this out and get back to ya.

ok, i found out why it's not showing. i used one of my old .cpr's and it didn't have the Notification section in there. i added it in and zipped it up for all of you that want it. i'll update my .cab too.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
No disrespect taken and thanks for the quick update.

Where do I put this file? I thought in \windows but that didnt seem to work for me.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
yes in the windows file. did it ask you if you wanted to override the preexisting one? i'm sure you've already tried this but, restart your phone, or hide and show it again. it worked for me, wander what i did that i'm not relaying?!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
I took it off then reinstalled, then put in the file and it worked, I must have messed up something.

However, I notice that the sliding panel looks a little odd compared to the default one. The iconbar is missing, I was able to add that back.

The first line has a clock icon and the carrier name (AT&T) and stays at the top.

Then the second line has the actual clock with time and date with a windows logo on the right.

On yours, the first line or two is blank, everything is shifted down a little.

It seems like the first two lines are merged. I see AT&T on the first line of the clock panel, and on the right is the clock icon stretched out big.

I've uploaded screenshots to show you what I mean.

old.png is the default one (with a diff weather app)

new.png is yours

Thanks for your help!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
ba, this would be my doing yet again. :( i used the cpr from my phone instead of the one from the cab. it looks like that cause i use a different bronzer.dll. i'm at work right now, so when when i get home i'll do a in depth fix. my bad...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
no problem. Thanks for taking the time to do all this.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
ok, here's the new zip. sorry it took so long, i had some problems with the hard reset.

Hi

I just bought Samsung Blackajck\ i607

I had HTC Polaris and SPV M3100 earlier but I sold them :D

I have question - Is this WM 6.5 stable and without bugs / issues ??

because I would like to install it to my Blackjack

could somebody make screen images - I'll be very appreciate :o

p.s. sorry for my english
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
Thanks, do all the files go in windows?

I tried it but it still looks shifted down a little. That was my main issue for me. Is that something I should correct somewhere in the settings?

I see that the icon has been fixed so thats good, but that wasnt really the main issue for me at least.

Also, this is probably unrelated to you, but ive noticed that my messing app seems to start on its own sometimes. well the top at bottom bar show up but the rest of the home screen remains. Is this just with me?

Are there some options missing in ShowWeather now? I thought there was an advanced options page before because I remembering having to enable the "create gprs connection" feature.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ciawarhater:

can someone tell me please how to install this ROM :confused:

Hmm strange.

The phone has to be off when you do this.

Press the camera and right soft key (the one above the END key) first, then the power button.

now You tellin'me this ?? :D

I've already flashed wm 6.5 ROM

it's great !!! :eek:

thanks guys for it

just too bad that in wm 6.5 CD covers are so small :(
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
everything in the zip goes in windows. i looked at your pics again, and i think the old one (on the left) is the sliding panel 6.5 full home screen. the new one (on the right) is titanium showweather home screen. thats why everything looks like i got moved down, if you look at the other titanium home screens you'll see they look somewhat the same. as for the advanced options, thats not in the cpr, thats in showweatheroptions.mscr in program files. the weather will update on its own, unless you change the options. i don't remember having a gprs connection option, sorry.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
Yep, the left one is the 6.5 full one and the right is the titanium showweather one. Do you have any idea why everything is shifted down? That is the part that's bugging me.

The updates seem to be working now, I guess I was having some connection problems earlier now.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
so what your wanting is to use showweather with the 6.5 full home screen look?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
Yeah pretty much.

I installed some other weather program that seems to work ok with the 6.5 full home screen. I just like the Titanium ShowWeather one more so I would rather use that one with the 6.5 full home screen. I don't really understand enough to know why the Titanium ShowWeather won't work with the 6.5 full and needs a different CPR.

So anyways if you'd like to work on it great, but I don't want to hassle you so if you can't or don't feel like it, thats fine too.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
OH! ok sorry i wasn't understanding. lol ya i think this can be done, since i think its a sliding panel cpr it might not want to cooperate but i'll work on it. it's no hassle i like doing this kind of thing.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
Yeah, if I can use showweather with the 6.5 full CPR, that would be great.

There are some other minor differences, like the transparency of the panel, the AT&T and time always staying on top and visible.

Now regarding the ROM, I have noticed a few odd things.

1. The messaging softkey buttons on the bottom and the top bar will show up on the home screen sometimes. Basically its like I'm in messaging but its showing the home screen. I think this happens whenever it checks mail. If I hit end, it will go back to the home screen.

2. I had the "phone" off like for flight mode. I re-enabled the phone and it got a signal. At that time, I clicked to have show-weather get an update. At this instant, I got an incoming call. I answered it. There was a 1-2 second lag between me pressing answer and it answering. I talked for 5 seconds, then the entire phone just shut off. I had to turn it back on. I think maybe the phone got overwhelmed.

3. When I reply or send a new message, it automatically scrolls down so the cursor is at the top. Usually, I see the header data at the top first, like who I am sending to, etc.

4. This has always existed for all ROMS. When I start typing into any text box, it starts as numbers, then after a second or two, it switches to abc characters. This has always been annoying because I think it should default to text immediately. Whatever it defaults to, it shouldnt suddenly change. So basically, every time I type something, the first letter is a number unless I wait.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
ok, here's slidingpanel65.cpr let me know what you think.

1. ya, that happens to me as well. it even happens on my excalibur too, don't know what causes that.

2. i haven't experienced this, but i bet it did get overwhelmed.

3. don't know what to tell ya there, sorry.

4. maybe try overclocking, or not typing so fast. :D
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
Just tried it, Works great!! Thanks.

I'll test it a little more today.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ciawarhater:
i607

how can I obtain MS Office for this ROM ??
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eng3:
ok I've noticed something with the CHome panel. I'm not sure if it is working right.

There are three lines of text, the first is above the panel, the second is on the top border of the panel, and the third is in the panel.

For Voice Mail, "No new voicemails" is in the panel. This seems correct.

However for Text messages, "no new messages" is on the top border. For emails, the email account name is on the top line, and "No new emails" is on the border. This is shown in the second and fourth screen cap. I'm not sure if this is right.

If I actually have a new email, the email subject is on the top border and the account name goes inside the panel. Thats shown in the third screen cap. That doesnt seem to be right. "enricong.com" is my account name, I would expect that to be on the top line like in the 4th one. The actual message, I'd expect to be in the main window like in the first. Or the subject on the border, and the message in the box perhaps. I'm not sure.

I would think that it is suppose to be consistent. I'm not sure the way it should look, but when I get a new email or txt message, it looks wrong.

I'm not sure if any of this has anything to do with the new cpr
