WM6 rom for wizard?

[newbie2]

I'm running the Underground Crossbow on my unlocked Wizard. Works BEAUTIFULLY!! No glitches, as of yet.

Also paired with my OnCourse navigational BT GPS receiver without a hitch.

If the pre-release "leaks" of WM6 are THIS good, who knows what the final, OFFICIAL release will bring?!?!? It blows WM5 out of the water!!! :D

[baktrak]

I hope someone can shed some light on my situation.

I upgraded my I-mate K-Jam to WM6 Underground Edition, and although it worked upon first boot, I noticed a couple little issues with it being slow, and I couldnt dial out or anything along that line.

I restarted the phone, and now it is currently stuck at the boot screen and after a minute it just goes white and blanks out. I have tried a soft reset, and a hard reset and neither seems to do the trick. I am currently at the point where just getting my phone to work would be great.

Furthermore, I CID Unlocked it using LOKIWIZ prior to upgrading the ROM.

IPL. 1.01
SPL. 1.01.0000 < is that an issue?

OS 10.1.811


Did I brick my phone somehow?

Thanks for your help!

[bowow]

There are threads dedicated to this, look at the stickies.

Hi there. I got a locked, G4 cingular 8125. I upgraded my OS with the PDAViet3 Rom and i love it, no glitches all my programs work. However i have a problem, when try to reply an email , it is never sent.

My devices doesnt get stuck but the email is not being sent. Any suggestion?? Is this an issue of PDAViet3 ?? Is this issue solved with some registry tweaking ?? Do i have to try put another ROM?? Thanx in advance!!

[skimans]

which it is the best rom WM6 for K-Jam ?

[daveywave]

i've been away for a few weeks running with pdaviet 4, quite nifty. but what is this talk about WM6 underground edition? is this a post-pdaviet4 release? is there any/many differences?

the only reason i'm even considering a change for pdaviet4 is because OMAPclockv.2 wont hold an overclock for more than half an hour. the OS is a tad sluggish in the messaging program (appropriately with some new funcationality) but when it runs at 228+mhz its zippy!

anyhow anyone care to share a link ;)

[rambo6]

I've been using the Underground edition for over a week or two now. It's the first time I've seen new software from MS actually speed up an older device. If one looks at the new HTC offerings on www.htc.com, one finds that many of the new devices use the same processor found in the Wizard - the TI OMAP 200 Mhz. It appears that WM6 is ideal for these devices. It makes them seem as fast as a 400 Mhz device (I still use a Blue Angel as well as my Wizard). I have over 2200 contacts in my address book (I'm really not that popular, I'm just too lazy to weed out the old ones.) With WM5, the contacts window took a long time to appear after clicking. With WM6, it's almost instantaneous.

Using the 2.19.11 Radio, the battery seems to last me through the day. There's a couple things I've seen. First, Windows Media Play turns off when the device is turned off. (My Blue Angel does this too and I don't like it). With previous ROMs, Windows Media Player stayed even when the device was turned off so one could listen to music with the rest of the device off.

Also, I'd like to see a battery icon and the memory icon in the bottom tray so I can see the battery level and turn off programs still running without going through three menus.

MS has really done a great job on WM6. I hope HTC and MS offer WM6 for the Hermes.

Does Magic Button work on WM6? If so, use that and you get to see current running apps in the top bar of your screen, and you can close them from there (plus the X actually starts closing apps too and not leaving them in the background).

[N1kko]

I'm succeded too in installing the Crossbow Underground edition (found with torrent search, btw...) in my G4 cid locked device using the Shell tool_bugfixed from the forum and
.... WOW! :eek: my device now reboot in few seconds and its very very faster than before. I completely agree with rambo6:
It appears that WM6 is ideal for these devices.

By now, I have found only 1 problem:
- using the camera and switching between different modes (camera, video, mms, etc.) brings this error pop-up while selecting picture themes:
"Unable to enter the Pictur Theme mode.
the selected template is missing or invalid.
36001:107:100"

Anyway to fix it? Should I install some Picture Theme packages?

[bowow]

i got this error too with wm5...erf
about another pb i have is that i dont have the battery icon :( :confused:

[epimazzo]

Read before post! :rolleyes:
You'll find all answers to help you choose!

Good luck!


which it is the best rom WM6 for K-Jam ?

[clovis_ll]

so which is better? the underground crossbow rom or faria's 3.3 rom?

[parlato_edoardo]

sorry for double post with other thread... but this is useful (for french speakers of course)...

If you want to have the following with Windows Mobile 6 :

-french keyboard including accentuated character : 'é' 'è' 'ê' etc.
-french dictionnary word completion

just install the attached cab.

Normally the cab would also change the onscreen keyboard to french... but it doesn't... Maybe other registry keys are modified for wm5 and don't work with wm6... surely the cab should be fixed.

I'm not the author of this cab and don't know what it does... I think it comes from a guy called 'seb' from this forum : qtek9100.forum-pro.net

Anyway : nice job many thanks to him !

PS : if you know a good onscreen keyboard freeware that works with a french layout on wm6, please let me know.

Is there anything like this for italian language?

[bowow]

HI, I GOT A BIG BIG PROBLEM... WHEN A SWITCH THE SCREEN OFF FOR THE NIGHT WITH THE POWER BUTTON... WHEN I WAKE UP, I PRESS THE POWER BUTTUN AND THEN, MY OWN PHONE ASK ME A PASSWORD BUT IM NEVER ENTER WHATEVER PASSWORD, AND I GOTTA RESET MY PHONE AT THIS MOMENT :mad:

please help

[pepcisko]

Er... I just downloaded and installed the underground rom and although it shows a wm6 splash screen it runs as WM5 5.1.195 (in the about screen).

it's showing Windows Mobile 6, OS 5.2.660 (Build 15341 AKU 4.2.0 beta)
on my Wizard..

[Lees]

so which is better? the underground crossbow rom or faria's 3.3 rom?

I would like to know this as well. Are they the same version of WM6, with a different AKU and different extras installed? Or something else?? And what about PDAviet 4, what version of WM6 is that?

[ozzy]

Hello,

I cannot complete the upload of a WM6 Rom on my Qtek 9100...
With each versions : Crossbow, Pdaviet4 etc...
each time it stops few % before the end 95 - 96%
and I had to recover it with my old version...

Have you any idea about this problem ?

[ozzy]

I am a F***ing dumba***,

after searching a lot...
I finally found why...

[rambo6]

so which is better? the underground crossbow rom or faria's 3.3 rom?

I've tried both Faria's 3.3. and the Underground Edition WM6. Faria's ROM is fantastic. I tried the one with the 8 page pool. It was the best WM5 ROM so far. Not only was it stable, but he really put some neat features in it. For example, I liked the battery icon and the memory icon in the bottom tray. It was quite fast and needed little modification. The only problem I had was that using MS Voice Command 1.6, it hesitated a bit. If I was a newbie, I may suggest the Faria ROM over the WM6.

As good as the Faria's 3.3 is, I still prefer the Underground WM6. As I've mentioned in other places, the WM6 is quite a bit faster. It seems to respond very quickly and has a great look and feel. Here's are some problems I've encountered with UE WM6 and how I resolved them.

First of all, I would download not only the UE WM6 ROM, but also the Arcsoft MMS .cab that goes with it. I would also download the appropriate Radio Only ROM from the FTP site - ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Radio_Roms/Radio_Only_Thread/. (I used the T-Mobile UK 2.19.11 ROM even though I'm in the US because others were using it. I've also used the Cingular 2.25.11 with other ROMS and it works great also.)

The 2.19.11 ROM seems to drain battery less that's why you may want to use it. Also the MMS .cab is needed to make the MMS work right. So flash the UE WM6 ROM first. Then flash the Radio Only ROM of your choice. Then, put the Arcsoft MMS .cab file on your device or storge card and just click it. I also had to use the attached T-Mobile Internet Settings .cab to make the MMS work. I tried keying in the settings but it just wouldn't work.

After you flash the Radio Only ROM, give it a few days for the battery drain to subside. For some reason it takes a few days (charges) to get where it needs to go. I've found this with other ROMs also. If you still have problem, you can try some of the other battery drain settings found in this Xda site.

You cannot use Activesync 4.2 with WM6 so you'll have to use Activesync 4.5 Beta. It's on microsoft's site. It works well, but if you also sync another WM5 device to your PC, you may encounter some problem with syncing with an exchange server. There is a work around I found that works.

Though the Faria ROM is excellent and the best WM5 ROM, UE WM6 is better and faster. It's worth the effort.

[clovis_ll]

thanks rambo6!
i've been quite curious to upgrading to the underground edition but as i saw some of the people who did, they're complaining about how the language was chinese and the camera were not working or mms.

anyways, thanks again!

btw, i sent you a pm!

[SumQuiSum]

Hi,

Forgive me, I'm a newbie, but in big trouble, so it's possible that I'm asking in the wrong thread.
So. I tried to upgrade my Wizard's (G3) ROM, but at 95% I got an error saying there's problem with the connection, although I didn't touch anything meanwhile:p The restoration process wasn't successful, the only thing I have now, is the three-color start screen, RUU , IPL and SPL both 1.10, and USB if plugged in. I tried to run the update utility with other roms, some of them doesn't even start the upgrade process, others hang up at 95%, as the WM6.
Whan can I do to save the situation beside praying? :(

SQS

[gmanus]

I have been there...
The only way to fix it is to pull out the battery and a the rainbow screen screen you need to use the default ROM for your carrier. Like i lad to down load a T-Mobile 2.26 ROM and run it. it will fix it. have patience... it does get stuck but the default rom will bring you PDA to file. then if you want to install a different ROM my suggestion is to powercycle your before you try to upgrade it.

[gmanus]

make sure you remove the SD card before you do any thing

[mfrazzz]

...is the three-color start screen, RUU , IPL and SPL both 1.10, and USB if plugged in.
Go back and follow Dr. P's thread EXACTLY and do EVERY STEP. You should not be trying to flash any advanced ROM with an IPL and/or SPL that is not 2.x (preferably you should be on 2.26, so go grab the TMobile Ship ROM).

People seem to think that flashing the TMobil (or similar) 2.x ROM is an unnecessary step, but this HAS to be done. This is how people brick their devices...

[pirlone]

Recommended upgrades for a clean and fast wm6 are (all on xda ftp server):
YBS Ringtone Manager.cab
faria3.3camera.rar
TaskMgr.exe for camera.reg
tnetwln.zip with wpa2 etc.
WM6_VC_BT_Fix.cab voice command bluetooth fix
HTC_SoftKeyChanger.cab
ARCSoft Inc MMS Composer 3.0.7.19.cab
GB-SOFT Tweak.CAB for gprs optimizing
HTC_X-Button.cab really closes apps
registrywizard_ppc.armv4_430.cab for speed optimizing
omapclock in combination with smartskey


guys, trying to find this WM6_VC_BT_Fix.cab voice command bluetooth fix but unsuccessfully :(
anyone has direct link to d/l it?
can't get bluetooth headset button to activate voice dial (or cyberion voice speed dial)...

rgs,
viliam

Hi,

yesterday, as instructions which I have read on this marvellous forum, I have downloaded T-mobile rom and succesfully installed it, after i have installed the most beautiful rom, but spl and ipl are 2.21 not 2.26. It is a problem?

[mfrazzz]

I've heard others running on 2.21. As long as you are on 2.x of some type you should be ok. But personally, I think being on the latest official IPL/SPL is probably best (but like I said, others have posted running on 2.21).

[cyberz]

Hi, thanks for the answer. :) Effectively, the device work very fine with these ipl/spl. However, how can I install only the ipl/spl without re-installing another full rom, then re-installing MB rom, then reconfiguring and resintalling all in the device ...? Is possible?

I not know why, but, yesterday, I had followed the instructions in the link found in the tutorial post for upgrading the Wizard, I had followed the links to files too, I have downloaded the rom from Tmobile home page(seem the last), nevertheless now I have old ipl/spl. ???

[mfrazzz]

I'm not aware of how you can update IPL/SPL without installing a full ROM (always good to have a stable base anyway). If 2.21 is working for you, then stick with it if you don't mind. You could always use spb backup to take a backup of your stuff, then grab the 2.26 TMobile ROM and reflash (making sure IPL/SPL change), then reflash the WM6 ROM you are using, then restore from backup. Sort of up to you if you want to go through that or not. I'll let others comment if there is another way to upgrade just IPL/SPL, or if this is even necessary.

[clovis_ll]

i think i like MB rom...

[mfrazzz]

Since Clovis moved his comment to a different thread I'll move my answer there too ;)

Hi,

yes, 2.21 working well.
Sincerely, I have one Qtek 9000 too, but this 9100 with MB rom is more fast and more stable! I think: the 9000 is a Intel Bullverde 527MHz, 9100 is only a samsung omap 195MHz.
Who have developed the MB rom is a God! Or 9100 is a better device? :o)

Excusme, I'll like speak speak detailed and freedoms with all of you, but my English is poor.

Regards

[marscandybars]

Hey guys, if you guys have any answers or can help with any of these issues please help. I have installed both MB version and Underground, and its hard for me to decide which one to keep.

One thing I noticed for th MB version (havent tested it with underground) is that the volume sliding bar on the side of the phone only works when on the today screen. In any other menu, it works like an up and down arrow (very annoying)



MB cons:
-Scroll bars are WAY too thin and small (any way to fix this to normal? Underground has normal scroll bars)
-After sending a text message, a notification comes up saying "text message sent", and although "request delivery notifications" is UNCHECKED, I still keep getting the message. There is no option under sound/notication settings to turn this off either.
-The time is in military format instead of standard



Underground:
-there are jumbled characters in the sound/notification settings (though I found a cab file that supposedly fixes this; will have to test it out)
-MOST annoyingly, the Day and Date are separated onto two separate lines, rather than reading across in ONE line. LVMtime is NOT the solution to this b/c it has a windows mobile 5 icon and it sloppily overlays the time on the upper bar of your phone.

And for BOTH of them, they both EAT UP BATTERY LIFE like CRAZY! I've tried some battery cab tweaks, but they didn't help substantially.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[mfrazzz]

Get rid of Smartskey or change the .ini file for it and that may fix this issue.

MB cons:
-Scroll bars are WAY too thin and small (any way to fix this to normal? Underground has normal scroll bars)
There is a registry fix for this. Don't have it offhand, but if you look in the MBE thread, the fix is mentioned in there (and elsewhere in these forums).
-After sending a text message, a notification comes up saying "text message sent", and although "request delivery notifications" is UNCHECKED, I still keep getting the message. There is no option under sound/notication settings to turn this off either.
-The time is in military format instead of standard
Again, these are registry fixes. Sorry, don't have where they are at offhand, but they are both fixable.

-MOST annoyingly, the Day and Date are separated onto two separate lines, rather than reading across in ONE line. LVMtime is NOT the solution to this b/c it has a windows mobile 5 icon and it sloppily overlays the time on the upper bar of your phone.
LVM Time can be configured NOT to show the time in the upper bar (thats what I've done as you are right, its done sloppily. Someone else this morning in one of the WM6 topics posted a registry fix to do single line.

And for BOTH of them, they both EAT UP BATTERY LIFE like CRAZY! I've tried some battery cab tweaks, but they didn't help substantially.
For me, the CAB provided by Dr. P in the thread on battery life made a HUGE difference. I see almost no difference in battery life now compared to my original CIngular 2.25 ROM.

[marscandybars]

Heh... call me anal... but if you look at the clock icon for lvmtime, it uses the windows mobile 5 icon (puke).... windows mobile 6 clock icon is 10x prettier LOL (link to registry fix for single line day/date?)


anyone know how to get the MB version time to show standard time rather than military?

As for the omitting the sms notification after sending, i found a registry fix, that I guess worked for windows mobile 5, but I tried it, and it doesnt work. I found the registry fix for scroll bar width this morning :-p

[mfrazzz]

Heh... call me anal... but if you look at the clock icon for lvmtime, it uses the windows mobile 5 icon (puke).... windows mobile 6 clock icon is 10x prettier LOL (link to registry fix for single line day/date?)
With a little searching (not that hard) i found this:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\AutoSingleLineDatePl ugin=1

anyone know how to get the MB version time to show standard time rather than military?
I actually just stumbled on this...
Start->Settings->System->Regional Settings->Time

Change the time settings so it starts with a lowercase h (there is a scroll bar on the dropdown!). Uppercase H is military. Lowercase is not.

[mfrazzz]

Yep, I just looked and I don't see it either. Sorry, just something I found when searching. As I said I use LVM Time and it works for me (I just basically turn off all the extras it does like displaying the clock). I looked at the registry stuff and it appears teh "Single Line Time" in the MBE rom is just using LVM Time also (but just the dll or something).

[marscandybars]

I officially want to keep the Underground rom, as it seems less "buggy". But if the MB rom uses LVMtime also, isn't there any way to transpose the same thing onto the underground rom? A cab file perhaps? Or does anyone have the newest version of LVMtime for WM6?

[SpeedyTuning]

what rom is better? (faster and stable) ???

mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE
Wm6 - most beautiful edition
faria - 2.18.0.0 WM6

[mfrazzz]

what rom is better? (faster and stable) ???

mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE
Wm6 - most beautiful edition
faria - 2.18.0.0 WM6

Most Beautiful Edition - I ran on this for a week and it was a good ROM, BUT it takes a lot of tweaking at the front to get it that way. Out of the box its slow, consumes tons of battery, and had numerous issues. I never could get WiFi to work (or work reliably). Overall its a nice ROM once you tweak it out. It was stable for me.

Faria "the real thing" - I had it on for 24 hours or so and its a good rom right out of the box. Seemed to hold the battery well and all. It comes wth a lot of stuff built into it, and it to me it was a very nice ROM. Some have reported issues installing on G4, and there have been some quirks that people are running into (but I didn't experience those, but didn't run it all that long either).

mUn aRTM - I just installed this last night so I haven't had it on my phone for 24 hours yet. This is a fast rom (fastest of the three), and so far very good on battery drain (ie: battery lasts a long time). I've run into a couple of quirks (phone hangs on a soft reboot on the last screen if USB cable is plugged in), and I just had a lockup, but I don't know if thats the rom itself, or the fact I put Battery Status 1.04 Beta on (this same version causes the MBE rom to have lockups so I suspect it to be the problem and will move back down to .04.200 version which ran well on MBE). This is a clean rom (so not much on it) so you have lots of memory to work with and will have to load it with what you want.

Faria and mUn are better than MBE (IMO) but then they've only been out for a few days so I'm sure there is stuff to wring out. I'm liking the mUn ROM, but it still feels like MBE (ie: its a port of a leaked WM6, so there are some quirks in it). The Faria ROM to me felt more solid, but again, others have hit issues with it too (but not sre if thats due to how they did the upgrade or what (ie: not going back to an official ROM before flashing it).

I'll proably stay with mUn's for now, but when Faria comes out with the Vanilla version, I'll probably move to that one as I think thats going to be sweet and very fast.

[ATHelp]

When I saw the great news about a new ROM based on Windows Mobile 6 compiled by FARIA I rush to download and install it.

Thanks for the good work.

A question: Did anybody noticed that even if you press the poweroff button the display goes off and some seconds after wakes again?

[yozh]

I got the wm6 faria running on my little Wizard :)

Im just a little confused with this ROM version numbers like its 2.18 but mUns is 10 something, whats the deal with the versions ?

[perm]

I have been using this rom for about a day now. It *is* very fast and seems relatively stable, although I have had some freezes.

Here are some problems I've seen thus far:

1) No daylight savings time so it is stuck on standard time (PST). The posted Microsoft updates for DST don't appear to work on this WM6.

2) It had a lot of trouble recognizing the t-mobile network at first. It booted up showing Cingular, and working, although it had to be talking to t-mobile. It also froze several time when trying to find a network (at first). Now that it is set for a network (the same) this part works fine.

3) Some remote desktop options send it into neverland. So does playing with the phone network selection. JUst have to reboot until it works, set network selection to manual and leave this alone.

4) I've had it freeze on some net accesses, but don't have enough experience to identify necessary and/or sufficient conditions to trigger this. Also some freezing when trying some operations in pocket mechanic and, perhaps, sktools.

Main show stopper for use at the moment is daylight savings time. A fix would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the rapidshare link page doesn't seem to be working now (tried to check it to see if any updates.

Regards & thanks for the nice rom. dan

[fryman]

can anyone explain me why sometimes wen im on wifi.. Windows Live Messenger trys to connect it tries to use GPRS instead of the wifi.. anyone having this problem?

I've got the same issue. I can cancel the attempts to connect to GPRS (need to do that at least twice) and then it connects through wifi.

If someone knows the solution I also would like to know what that is.

it is the way M$ designed it...they claim it helps battery life...it could not possibly be to make more money off of people by making them use GPRS ;)

I turn off my phone sometime to make it connect via WiFi but faria said in his aku 3.3 ROM he pacaged it so it did not do it...I am trying to find out how to take windows live out of there and install it on WM6?!? but i don't know how I would go about that so if anyone could help please let me know...thanks for reading

You have to create it. Just take the space out.

I know we're not allowed to post direct DL links for these WM6 roms, but I'm having a difficult time finding them. Some people on here are trying out all of them so they must exist. I just put on Molski's latest ROM off of his site. (I love his work by the way.) But that is not considered WM6 right? Any tips on where I should search for these, I've been searching google and torrent sites. Thanks.

Read the Wiki and every Sticky in the Wizard Upgrading and this forum. If you have further questions then read them all again. If you still have questions, then ask the specific thing you don't understand.

All the steps and information is already here for your taking. But you have to do some work yourself to learn this stuff. Otherwise you will attempt it, fail and be back panicked with a phone that doesn't work. So please read and learn before you attempt any of this.

[kyro]

keep us updated guys as it gets near to suceed. i got Imate Kjam and wishing they release Rom upgrade to wm6 :)

and if anyone knows Imate Kjam wm6 rom is available, kindly ping me

I've tried several of the WM6 roms mentioned in this forum (Vanilla, XPlorer) that are out there and followed the instructions in the sticky (as far as I can tell). I can successfully flash, but when my K-JAM restarts, it is still WM5. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I'm guessing you didn't CID unlock it

[mouch99]

Which of the WM6 ROM's is the best out of them all. I know it's mostly preference, but so far all I've seen is mixed opinions.

[epimazzo]

Unfortunately, it seems that I-mate is taking off K-jam from the market. On other words, this model will be discontinued!:(

So, no surprises if they decide not release WM6 upgrades.!:mad:

Regards


keep us updated guys as it gets near to suceed. i got Imate Kjam and wishing they release Rom upgrade to wm6 :)

I have installed this WM6 rom on my Wizard: PDAMobiz_Wizard_WM6_G3_Xplore_Final_by_Hong.rar

The problem that I have is that my Wizard is now very very very slow. It take's about 5 to 10 seconds to open things like the communication manager. Can someone tell me if this rom is to heavy for my Wizard? (together with this rom there are so many installed apps) It runs now at 273Mhz.

And if I want to update my device to an other WM6 ROM, is it better to go back to the T-mobile 2.26 rom?

My IPL/SPL is (of course) 2.26
ROM version: 10.2.0.8 WWE
Radio version: 02.25.11

[double_ofour]

try different wm6 ROM.. look for a vanilla ROM

I will try this one:

NotTooSmart-Vanilla-WM6.exe

HTC Wizard WM6 10.2.0.8 WWE (by mUn)
Vanilla Edition (by NotTooSmart)

NotTooSmart-Vanilla-WM6.exe

Thats good also.. but i will recommend to you the X-plore v1.1

[hilfiger]

Oke, downloading: Windows .06 Xplore 1.1

But do I have to go back to the T-mobile 2.26 ROM first?

[double_ofour]

no.. there's no need.. just go on with Xplore 1.1

That guy, Hong ... he didn't asked for my permision to use my rom, whatsoever. "Xplore by Hong" ???? WM06 Xplore name and concept was made by me, none other.. I didn't allowed him neither the name usage, neither the rom.

Any problems with that version, you can talk to him, I will not help !!!!

For god's sake, he steals my rom, even uses my rom's name !!! I really really don't like that.

It makes me wanna copyright my releases...it really shouldn't have come to this.


If you want to eat a Pizza, go to Italy, If you want to eat chineese food, go to China .... If you want a beatup, use my Rom's name and core without permission

[hilfiger]

Anichillus, I have installed your WM6 ROM and I have to say that this one is so much better than the one of that lousy Hong! My compliments!

[mfrazzz]

Yeah, Hong takes most of the roms here and then packs them full of PDAMOBIZ stuff and releases them like this. I agree with you, but actually you should be glad he puts "by Hong" as people know then its not really yours (ok, granted, the base is your work), but his bastardized version. IMHO it would be far worse if he just released it as XPLORE1.2 or something as people wouldn't know if it was from him or you.

I know a LOT of hard work, time, and frustration goes into creating a nice rom release (and XPlore 1.1 is right up there with some of the best releases for the Wizard), and I honestly appreciate (and am amazed) at the time and effort you continue to put forth on this.

Not the competition fuels me, but the fact that is not perfect yet.
I will stop when perfect and/or when I'm really tired of all this

You're right, it's better that he put By Hong there...anyway, if he ever comes to Romania, I'll castrate him :D

Why should they ? My rom name is Xplore ...and I'm pretty sure that is better than the stock one...existent or not :D So I'm making it better...and one more thing, when one of you have problems with my rom, do you go to Microsoft ? NO, you come to me.

Btw, when did I say it's a WM6 or Crossbow ? lool

Actually ... who showed you respect.
It appears he didn't get your permission which you would have prefered but he chose your ROM and kept your name on it.
He could have used it and said it was his and renamed it all together.
He chose your ROM because he liked something about it and added a few ingredients of his own.
He posted it it a public forum, he didn't put it on ebay.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

You are now experiencing what the top chefs go thru...get used to it...it's the 1st but not the last.
When you're good you're good!

Bottom line.....you put out a good product, people are gonna bite!

P.S.: In NY, you can get Pizza at some Chinese Restaurants.

[Redeye]

So...where is the shortcut to launch the phone keypad. There is a phone shortcut in settings->personal menu but that only launches the settings. This seems strange. Is there something I am overlooking or is it really missing.

I have been use to having the phone shortcut available to me on the menu when I click start.

Thanks,

Actually you probably could copyright the name (Xplore) but don't sweat it.
I understand why you get upset, but we here know what is your work and what is not and I for one appreciate the effort you put into making my PPC so much better. Just consider this a form of flattery and go on with what you do best. I can't wait for your next release.

Thankx man!

Hi I've problems with rom, updater reports that all is ok, but when k-jam starts i see new installed wm5 instead of wm6, can some one say why?

I've tried few of rom located at:

Yes, can see there are new roms posted, but what are they? What are they supposed to do and what benefits claimed or believed?

Currently using NTS vanilla here, it has been superbly reliable. Main issues in all roms has apparently been the radio. Do these have any benefits or demonstrated improvements regarding the radio driver?

Can the person maintaining IW25NT please post an index with at least a 1-liner summary of what the various roms are supposed to be (e.g. features, benefits, origin, applications embedded).

Thanks.

NTS, XPlore, NBD, and Wizard Mobile 6 Business Edition (WM6 BE I guess) area all similar as they all came from the mUn aRTM base rom. They are different in the tweaks and settings changes, and then what is included or has been pulled out of each.

But if NTS works for you, then stay with it. I'm not sure you'd see that much difference with the others. Xplore 1.1 will give you more ram from a default install, and is a little faster (not much though IMO) than NTS. I've never installed NBD or WM6 BE so I can't comment on those.

I'm running (currently) the Faria Vanilla that I tweaked with the ROM kitchen that comes with it. No major differences really (I actually turned off overclocking this past weekend and am trying to phone out just running at the standard 195MHz now just to get a feel for it that way. I think XPlore was faster than this Faria in this mode, but with overclocking I can't say I notice much difference. The Faria Vanilla has been very stable for me (but so was XPlore 1.1 and NTS).

Does anyone familiar with this problem?

maybe its CID LOCKED device

[mfrazzz]

Yeah that is definetly a sign of a CID locked device. If you have a G3, then follow these steps (and do everything, don't skip anything):

I've tried and downgraded my dev IPL from 3.08 > 1.01, but SPL is still 3.08, don't know what to do?

[mfrazzz]

I assume you've tried flashing the button rom a couple of times to get the SPL down? Take out your SD card when you flash the button rom.

I've seen others that went to 3.08 have issues going down to 1.xx on their SPL. Can you flash the official rom from your provider which should be 2.xx? Or try flashing the Wizard Love and then flashing the button rom? If that doesn't work, then flash the button rom again so the IPL is 1.xx and go ahead and try doing the CID Unlock steps of running Lokiwiz. AFter that finishes try doing the button rom one last time to see if it will come down to 1.xx. If not, then go ahead and go back to a 2.xx rom (not 3.xx) and see if you are CID Unlocked. If not, you may have to pay imei-check.co.uk to get this done at this point.

One of the many reasons I just don't see the need to move to a 3.xx rom when we don't know if all the procedures here will work with it yet.

HI, I´m looking for the last cooked rom from Faria, which is it???

Thanks!

[mfrazzz]

HI, I´m looking for the last cooked rom from Faria, which is it???

His last cooked rom is the one that comes in his Rom Kitchen. The thread for it is a sticky at the top of this forum. You can download the entire kitchen, and then in the devwiz directory it creates there is a flashrom directory. You an run the ROM Update Utility in there and you will flash the basic Vanilla version. Or open the PDF and follow the steps and you can cook your own (just have some idea what you are doing before you attempt that).

[Zhadum]

Thats good also.. but i will recommend to you the X-plore v1.1

I'm a user of MDA vario (T-mobile) and yesterday I have use this topic ( The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards) and unlock everything :) Now I want to put WM6 on mine phone. Is this stil the best version (X-plore v1.1) and do I need another Rom before I install this?

If you have both IPL/SPL 2.x (flashed the Tmobile 2.26)...you could try Core 2.0n (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304876)
It's based on the Xplore, but improved.

Both are IPL & SPL 1.01. I'm going to search for Xplore (If someone can PM me where to search :). Thanks for your advice.

You have to get your IPL and SPL up to 2.xx before you flash a WM6 rom. If you haven't already, you need to run Lokiwiz to CID unlock it at this point, then you can flash an official rom like the T-Mobile 2.26 rom. AFter that then you can flash WM6 of your choice.

If your current IPL/SPL goes well, you have then no need of upgrading your bootloader.
If you have a G4 DON'T EVER EVER FLASH AN IPL/SPL

[mr.m]

I have SPL/IPL 3.08 and G4 Wizard. Can you tell me which WM6 ROM is best for my wizard??

[bwesty]

didnt think ipl/spl 3.08 existed on a G4

[mr.m]

I dont think you can have an IPL/SPL of 3.08 on a G4 wizard.

Yes I can because it is latest original ROM form t-mobile. That is why I asked for help. I know that I have to use shelltool to flash but I don't know what ROM to use. Don't wanna brick the phone because of some small detail I didn't read. Any suggestion for this situation?
