Obviously I disagree with the tone of his criticism and intolerance for opposing viewpoints.

Pointing out that the finger orientation of 6.5 on an Epix has shortcomings is a perfectly valid thing to do. It does not stop anyone from going ahead. But, at least they know what they might be in for. Many people waited anxiously for the release of the official AT&T 6.5 update. There is no real way of knowing how 6.5 specifically behaves in conjuction with an Epix without actually flashing it. And some people with a preference for mouse + keyboard are disappointed.

The eye candy is really nice. So everyone wanted it after seeing the screenshots. But, screenshots don't tell the whole story. The real story only comes out with in-hand usage. There shouldn't be a problem with suggesting that "the emperor has no clothes". That's not a really good reason to "kill the messenger".

The epix is a great piece of hardware. Some people will like 6.1 better than 6.5 and vice versa. With an official update it's easy to go from 6.1 to 6.5, but not so easy to revert. At least not officially. And before you point at the ID1 download, it was gone as of two days ago. It might be back, but it was gone as of the last check. And who really wants the ID1 update on a non-ID1 device?

And finally, any post, anywhere is made with the full knowledge that it is in public view and with the expectation that the board is monitored by moderators. Some boards are heavily monitored by salaried personnel.

I have tried about every custom rom for the epix and on a few I have had a problem with the WMP not being able to stretch any video to fullscreen. Can someone tell me what causes this or if there is a missing dll in some custom roms that disables fullscreen playback in WMP. The videos will go to fullscreen they just don't stretch. It is not the video settings cause I use the same settings in each rom.

Phone Version

What version of the Phone firmware would everyone recomend to use with this ROM so far? the origional which I believe is i907UCHI5 or whatever new version comes with the Samsung official 6.5 upgrade?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
There should be no quetsion. Do the official 6.5 upgrade to get the latest phone module which fixes the aGPS problem introduced with the ID1 update. After that you're free to flash which ever PDA module you want.

No mail notification sound when in standby

When the phone is in standby, I get no sound/vibrate blink notification. I didn't have this problem with ID1+trashcan's 28008. (Right now I'm using JD1 + fenrir's 23668)

If I configure notif blinker to blink for email, I do get the blink notification but still no sound/vibrate.

If I stop notif blinker, I get no blinking regardless of power state.

Am I missing something? Is there a quick way to restore the original behavior (sound/vibrate plus short blink)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ftahir:
Do you recommend upgrade?

I do not have ID1 update, I am using trashcan 28008, it is a bit sluggish plus from time to time I need to restart due to wifi connectivity that I can's explain. When restart, it just connects.

Will the upgrade worth it? Or do I need to flash with .fenrir latest pda rom?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spikef:
I tried using every single port on my Vista PC and it hung on the phone upgrade portion every time. I then found an XP PC, installed Activesync 4.5 and the modem drivers and it flashed properly the first time with the 6.5 XP download from Samsung.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
Your situation is not as clear cut as those of us that were starting with a busted phone module thanks to the ID1 update. Your aGPS is working and you're at 6.1. Move forward with the official upgrade there's not an easy way (if at all) back to 6.1

If it were me, once i decide to abandon 6.1, I'd experiment with all three unofficial rooms to see which experience I liked the best until more info is documented regarding what else was addressed in the fix of the phone module. That said, I've not noticed any issues that I could attribute to the new PHONE module but who knows.

I'm very happy with the aGPS fix that the official upgrade brings. I'm beginning to not like the PDA module that comes along. I plan on spending this weekend reflashing with one of the custom ROMs. I was very comfortable with trashcan's rom. I'm anxious to see how the other two stack up.

Let me know your experience

Hi,

Please let me know your experiences. Personally I flashed transhcan's one and official one. Except mouse issue I like trashcan's rom. I didn't tried other two. Can you please let me have your feed back.

The main things I am looking at are:

slide bar to unlock, finger friendly answer buttons when phone is locked.

Regards,

Trashcan's rom vs .fenrir version?

Hi Gajju,

I looked at your post and tempted to do .fenrir version update for my phone too. But here are my questions:

1. Will it be same as trashcan't today screen and interface?

2. Will slide bar to unlock present? I didn't find in official samsung release.

3. Will there be finger friendly answer buttons (slide to answer or dismiss), Mute etc are present?

4. Will GPS work?

Thanks and regards,

friend4u

This rom is excellent

Hi

This rom is excellent. Thanks fenrir.

1. My gps working.

2. IE working.

3. Mouse is no more a problem.(That made it is better than trashcan's 28008).

I have some problem with setting my MP3 as ringtone.

My mp3 is of side 783K. with trashcan't rom It is able to recognize with some tweaking. But with this rom I am not able to set this MP3 as my ring tone.

Any Ideas appreciated.

This rom is excellent out of all the ones I saw.

Keep up good work buddy.

i900 Kitchen, its on Modaco. Probably could Google it and it'll be one of the first results to pop up.

That's a strange problem, I'm glad that its working after a hard reset but still strange for it to happen. Hmmm...

Seems I failed to notice this while I was cooking the ROMs especially since I've been lazy to set my ringtones and etc since I flash a new test ROM every couple of days...I'll find a fix for this asap...probably a missing dll somewhere that I mistakenly deleted with the AT&T crap.

Pretty much what hizhonor said. Since you don't have the ID1 update, you can go either way whether you want to flash the official or not. If you want to be extra cautious given Samsung's previous screw-up you can wait till more people are using the official update before applying it yourself, otherwise you can go for it.

Glad to hear you're liking it. Well the mouse is cause its based on the official 6.5, while trashcan's is based off of ID1. I'm aware of the mp3 problem now, and I'll check it out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] friend4u:
Hi fenrir,

Got MP3 worked by removing the Size limit in HKCU sound entry. All my mp3 files are recognized now.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ftahir:
Thanks for the response.

I sometimes experience GPS receiver goes crazy, where it jumps all over position wise, and sometimes I need to restart to fix it. This is the only reason I'm itching to flash with Samsung update hoping it will fix this issue. With 6.5 it's been better, after a few minutes the GPS receiver will show correct position. But it still happen.

text glitch

in the messages screen.

if i get a new text message and i don't want to open it but instead just long hold the mouse button and click "save as read" it won't let me. it is grayed out.

i see no reason for this. just a minor annoyance.

i also still have weird ghosting in the message screen.

its like i can partly "see through" the message screen to my home screen. but usually only the first/top message, but sometimes the second one too. the rest are fine. i can select messages using the d-pad (not mouse) and select up and down. so when i select on the top message the selection also disappears with the already "invisible" message.

seems to be a screen redraw kind of problem similar to the good old mouse artifacts. but this is a good 30 or so pixels tall and the width of my screen. this only happens on my message screen and no where else.

it wouldn't make sense that a video dll or file is corrupt or missing because it only happens on that screen.

its something i can live with because i usually just instantly reply or delete a new message but if i ever look at old ones its there.

anyone else seeing this? i am thinking about re-flashing and starting over with a hard reset right away. of course i am willing to wait for the next slightly more polished rom as well ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] m.e.:
Are you sure it is GPS, which program do you use to track GPS position? What you describe looks like what happens in Google Maps or Bing Maps - the position will jump between several points until GPS locks. During this time, the map application tries to locate you using cell towers, not GPS, and it often results in position moving all around. You will see something like 'seeking GPS' while it happens, then GPS locks, you get a message 'GPS active' and position become accurate.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ftahir:
It happens in igo and garmin. I'm pretty sure those program do not use cell tower for position, plus I don't have data connection through m provider.

Outlook question

I was poking around today after I installed your wonderful ROM and was curious if this version has Threaded Email support in outlook, I didn't see it in the sort by list, is there a way to enable it in the registry or is it unsupported in this version so far?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
Oh that's good. I just started looking into it since I got some free time, guess that saves me some time to work on other things.

Yeah I got that, just had to delete the key Samsung put in since Lockscreen makes it 1 automatically.

Hm that's incredibly weird. I don't know about the ghosting problem since I haven't had the problem nor could I replicate it. Any apps that you installed that could be affecting it? For the Save as read, I had the same problem too, never really used it from inside the Messages but I'll see if I use a different build if it solves the problem.

I don't use a data connection for my GPS and I haven't had any jumping around on it yet.

Only the 235xx builds have threaded email. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5857555&postcount=6
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grey Ghost:
I've noticed some ghosting on ocassion too in outlook/messaging once in a great while sometimes it's the top bit and sometimes it's nearly a whole pane, I can't remember but I think giving the mouse cursor a wiggle (assuming you're not in 4 way) seems to fix it with a refresh, I could be wrong though.

RealVGS running in 96dpi seems to work great with this rom as well, only gripe I have is that it seems the on screen keyboard skins back to some acient looking 2003 thing. and the Activesync sync icon freaks the heck out.

on the topic of input methods wasn't there a third one besides the transcriber and the OSK? I could swear I was playing around with it just last week but I could be wrong.

Oh by the way is there a regkey to change the width of the taskbar up top?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anumeric1122:
im having problems with gps.... ive done the official samsung 6.5 jd1 updgrade, flashed with fenrirs 23668 rom, and am on at&t (also did get and ran through the auto configure prompt when first starting phone)

so i dont have my my microsd card with me currently, so have only been playing with gpstest, but my epix keeps trying (unsuccessfully) to connect to ims.cingular... from a quick google search ive read ims.cingular is used for video sharing so im not sure why my epix is trying to access it when attempting to get agps data.

would appreciate some help figuring this out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] veener79:
I am having the same issues. A fix would be great. Thanks :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
Beta ROM coming soon, hopefully addresses the issues people have been facing. Trying to work out GPS issues atm.

I still haven't been able to replicate the ghosting issue. Since you mention RealVGA are you running RealVGA and experiencing this ghosting issue?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grey Ghost:
No, the ghosting was before the RealVGA isnstall, I honestly think it /may/ be attributed to the finger mouse thing when not in 4 way scrolling, I've notice that in say talkonaut the thing blinks and refreshes like a grashopper that fell in a pot of coffee.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
Message Ghost

-I'm not using realVGA currently.

-i'm pretty sure it isn't the mouse or 4-way (at least on my phone) i use 4-way btw

I messed with the message ghost a bit more to try to give a better description of what is going on.

-the top message is 90% or the time a "copy" of the second message.

-I cannot open the top message.

-i CAN delete(click and hold the message-delete) the top message which makes the problem of the message ghost go away for awhile. i don't know what makes it come back.

i THINK it might be some mismanagement of message files. something maybe where i delete a message but it only "half deletes". or it "sees" a message where there shouldn't be one. Kinda like in your FAT (file allocation table) where you have an address that says there is a file at such and such a place but in actuality the file isn't there(moved or deleted) and the FAT was failed to be updated about the change. that's the best way i can describe the problem currently.

sorry, i'm only half-nerd so i lack more technical words to describe this issue. :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anumeric1122:
also my screen keeps turning on.... its definitely always happened, but seems the frequency has really increased.... like every 5-10 minutes. its not a huge problem because i charge my phone pretty much every day anyways, but im thinking its going to add a lot more wear and tear to my battery than necessary. is there a setting somewhere that im missing?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] UsernameB:
I have seen this happen, too. Sometimes pressing any button causes the screen to wake up. If I perform a soft reset, it goes back to the default of having to press the power button to wake up the device.

It may be related to either WiFi or Notif Blinker, but I haven't been able to track it down yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] epro2k7:
Hi all.

I currently use the Ferir ROM based on Official Samsung update ROM.

After more than 2 week using it , i have some question like this:

1. UI

As you can see, the notification field (connection, volume ....) hold so much space. Is any ideal to resize it?

2. I prefer the smaller Icon (so that more columns) like this

So a guys in my country suggest me to copy the contents in the zip file to mobile memory at window folder (window/) and overwrite exitsting file ( the exist file is the StartMenu_GridScene_320x320 (3 cols).rar i upload here as a backup)

you can choose among 4 or 5 columns and have grid with hexagon shape or not.

I prefer the last one StartMenu_GridScene_320x320 (5 cols) (with grids) (128DPI).rar . Try it with active sync (with folder options "view hidden file/folder" ) to replace the system file on the fone.

3 . Anyone know how to manually choose the connection between the UMTS and Wifi (Like in many nokia phone)

Some application load so much data (like outlook, Google maps,browse with Opera ....) i want to switch to wifi for data planing.

If using the IE we have this to choose

But orther app???

4. In official ROM 6.5 i see the Instant messege (or something sound that :) that allow me to chat with Window live, Yahoo messeger ... and it's a cool messenger, i like it. How can we get it back.

The same to the Market Place on the official, can we get it back, i've already installed the Market Place but it not work.

Thank so much.

Here's a Beta ROM that hopefully addresses the connection problems and other minor issues. However the ghosting on messages screen that some people are facing hasn't been dealt with yet. Try it out if you're willing to help test, otherwise wait till the next one.

http://hotfile.com/dl/56598088/6d85492/fenrir_WM6.5_23668_v2beta.bin.html

Hmm, I think I know what you mean now. Well since I can't seem to get it to show up on my phone, it'll be weird trying to fix it. I'll try a different build and see if that makes any difference.

Probably notif blinker. I've removed it now and restored the original Samsung drivers, seems it caused more problems then good. My apologies for that.

Looks like you're using a 6.1 Theme on WM6.5 That's why you're getting things to look so big, well bigger than what they should be. You shouldn't be using a 6.1 theme on 6.5. It'll work, but it makes the UI look incredibly awkward. However, if that's not a 6.1 theme, it still doesn't look right at all and shouldn't be used on the i907 unless its tweaked. The radio buttons shouldn't be anywhere that big or pixelated.

Yes you can replace that file to customize the layout of the start menu to however many columns you'd like. My ROMs are just the base, and I'm not going to customize them with any UI tweaks, that's for each individual person with different styles to do.

When you turn on WiFi, the phone only uses WiFi...besides I'd recommend Opera or Skyfire over IE.

OzIM was deleted while I was cleaning out AT&T/Samsung crapware. I've been meaning to make a cab file for it but there's other things that come first, although there's probably a cab of it floating around on xda from other phones too. Marketplace should work on the phone when you install it.

Oh btw, I use MyMobiler as well and you know there's an option to save screenshots in the program it self? You don't need to take a screenshot of the whole window and then crop it.

Hi friend4u,

.fenrir version is infect better in the sense that .fenrir's version is more stable. After installing titanium's today screen you will get the same today screen but you do need to do little bit of tweaking for titanium weather. Slide bar unlock is present in .fenrir's version and it is more finger friendly for answering similar to trashcan's version. GPS is working like charm and clod start is faster now.

Good luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gajju:
Hello friend4u,

I found the solution of the ringtone problem

1. Modify the registry directly: Go into HKEY_Current User → ControlPanel → Sounds -> FileSizeLimit to 15728640 (=15mb)…or whatever you feel is appropriate (in bytes).

2. Then put whatever ringtone you like in the /Application Data/Sounds/ (or /My Documents/My Sounds/ either folder will work)

Good luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] epro2k7:
Thank Ferir, for a quick responding.

I confirm that some theme make the notification area bigger, I turn back to the original theme in 2366 ROM, it's ok now.

I will try again to confirm the WIFI/3G selection issue but i see that when i connected to a WIFI host pot, 3G ok and i try to send/receive new mail in Outlook the connection told me that they currently use the 3G network (+ the 3G icon beside the two arrows move contrarily). Please confirm this.

And the 3G on/off issue??? have we got any app to do this task, i think turn the 3G off will make the battery life become longer when we don't need to use 3G connection.

BTW, thank Ferir, i know how to crop the image :D (like 2 first pict) but some case i'm too lazy. Thank for your recommendation/

My GPS was working for a week or so after installing this build, then it stopped working. The settings all look OK but the GPS never finds any satellites. I'm sure a hard reset would take care of it but any ideas where to look before I do that?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gotaction86:
First of all .fenrir GREAT WORK! Just updated to official 6.5 couple days ago then moved onto your build yesterday. It has (almost) all of the great stuff from trashcan's excellent build along w/ the stability and speed of the new official 6.5 (and no mouse glitch even though I don't ever use the mouse, it would accidently turn on every once in a while/upon soft reset).

The only issue I've found so far, or maybe it's just a setting that needs to be changed, is that when my screen is locked (btw, I had 6.5 slidelock screen right off the bat when I flashed your 23688v1 build, not sure why others had problems) and I get a text message, I tap as usual to get the text bubble then slide that. But here's the issue: instead of going straight into the conversation view like trashcan's build and allowing me to see the rest of the conversation (or just a 1 message conversation if it was the first text), it goes to a screen that has just that text message and the full details of the text. Once I "OK" out of that, it's still unread (which isn't main problem, but wouldn't happen if it went straight into conversation mode). If the phone isn't locked and I get a text, notification pops up as usual and I have the choice of responding, and when I do, it goes correctly to the threaded message.

Could someone please inform me how to fix that and get it to jump directly into the threaded view? Thanks everyone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
The arrows just mean there's a connection that's active. There's plenty of apps that can turn on and off the 3G. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is WMLongLife. There's others too but that's the only one I can think of right now.
