[RELEASE v 0.10] WMXL - Windows Mobile "XDA Live" Edition

[kyphur]

The First Edition of
Windows Mobile "XDA Live"
for HTC Hermes


I have applied my XDA Live Scripts to the "Vanilla" edition of Windows Mobile 6 for Hermes.

So I present you with Version 0.10 of XDA Live!


Quick FAQ:


Q: How do I install it.

A: The self extracting archive will runthe RUU after it extracts all files. I used The XDA RUU which was modified to push the Des Bootloader to your device. This installer does not require your device to be SuperCID and should work with any Bootloader version.


Q: Will WMXL (Windows Mobile XDA Live) fix my corrupted radio bootloader or otherwise bricked Hermes?

A: If the other tools here can't do it then don't bet the farm on WMXL doing it. The Flashing tools are still the same, no magic pill here.


Q: Kyphur you are such a Guru, how can I be like you?

A: Remember that my head is in the clouds on this one only because I'm standing on the shoulders' of giants. This project owes it's very existence to many other contributers here and they deserve as much if not more of the cudos than I do. The is a team effort, please support everyone who made this possible. (See my post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1143020&postcount=10)). I have been a member her for only 15 months give or take but I have spent more time reading than doing or posting.


Q: If you embed a program into the Rom how can I remove it (to save memory).

A: You can't remove file that are in the Rom. You can remove the Shortcuts to the programs. Again I will repeat that programs in the Rom do not consume any memory. If you don't want the program simply ignore it and it will not harm you.


Q: Will you still release the scripts?
A: Of course, I have spent this evening building and testing this Rom for Release. Expect this to delay the release of the How-To but it is still coming.

Q: I have more questions...

A: Read this thread. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294809)



Click here for Images (http://WM6.Kyphur.Org/Today%20Themes.asp) of all the Themes I have collected. I've decided that instead of embedding them all, I will remove all but the default Crossbow Theme and add the Aero Theme.

The rest of the collection will be made avaliable via my website this week.

I have integrated the following Applications:
Dictionary Editor
HTweakC v2.1
MS Hearts for PPC
PHM Registry Editor
SMS Backup
StartClean
VJCandelaLite (Flashlight)
Windows Mobile Remote Display (CERDISP)Fixes Specific to using "Vanilla" Base Rom

Office Mobile Folder and shortcuts are restored

Remote Desktop Mobile has been embeddedI have integrated the following Registry Fixes:
By default only the Date Plugin is enabled (and it is set to a single line).
The Today Screen says "XDA Live" and the about screen shows " - XDA" after the OS Build Number.
Pressing & Holding the Comm Button toggles the between Vibrate & Normal.
PDAViet Memory Leak Fix is Applied.
Disabled the warning for Unsigned Applications (Application Lock)Misc:
I have added two "Classic RingTones, (OldPhone-US.wma and OldPhone-UK.wav) for those of us who want to get away from the music and chirping Ringers.
I have removed all carrier customizations, no need to soft reset to avoid customization!This Version is missing:
Voice Call.
Push To Talk.
Smart Dialer.
Microsoft Live! Mobile.
Windows Mobile UpdateBTW, this truly is a group effort.
Without pof & team unlocking I never would have even gone looking for the base Rom.
aChef by aklok_hk is doing the heavy lifting.
Sleuth, ShogunMark, Faria ViJay555, Bepe, Maimach have all been instrumental either directly or indirectly in this project.
Des and the SSPL was another step that got me to this point.
Olipro's RUU Workshop was used to make the installer package.
Of course there are all of the guys who have been doing this before I bought my first PPC Phone, they blazed the trail I simply walk behind them.
Finally, I can't forget my unnamed source. They took a big change passing this along to me. Even though this relase is built on the Vanilla Rom, without that trust I wouldn't have been able to spend that previous week cooking with a WM6 Rom Image.Oh Yeah, here is the download link: WM XDA Live v0.10 (http://rapidshare.com/files/18489423/WM_XDA_Live_v0.10.exe.html)

Praise be to Kyphur!!!

[taguapire]

Hi kyphur,

Congratulations for the release and Thank you very much.

Good job.

Taguapire.

[walshieau]

well done kyphur well done...

[Lancealot]

Praise you sir, job well done!

[iammorris]

awsome work kyphur! quick question though, will you still be working on your original version of XDA-Live, and if yes, will it include the things that this one is missing (LIVE integration, PTT, etc)?

[boostieboy]

downloading... thanks for all your hard work

[ach2]

All hail to the guru and his team...

Just installing as we speak. I'll report back on stability useage etc as time goes on - and look forward to updates, fixes, advice etc.

Many thanks Kyphur

[TaurusBullba]

:D :D I love me some kyphur! Your work is much appreciated, and I mean that very sincerly. Get some rest and thanks for everything!!:D :D

[kyphur]

I will continue development using "Van" as my base so I can release fixes and updates to you.

If I get a better version that I can share (even the original one or an update of it) I will be able to apply my scripts to it so everyone can now join in the development phase of this Rom.

awsome work kyphur! quick question though, will you still be working on your original version of XDA-Live, and if yes, will it include the things that this one is missing (LIVE integration, PTT, etc)?

[athena1973]

thanks for your sharing...expecting a 'full' version thus we can cook our own rom. thanks again.

[cyberdrakula]

Great !

Now I don't get to sleep for a while again.

Thanks KYPHUR. I will report my test reports.

[Zgembo]

Keep up the good work!!! Aferim!

[maxgohan]

ok crap i just upgraded to the other guy's vanilla wm6 release

guess i'll flash this one on now lol
good work, just wondering if you fixed the keyboard issue (the symbols seem to be misaligned in a random order)

[weinson]

Quick question ... if I flash this ROM and for some reason need/want to go back to the new Cingular ROM (e.g., if I can't get Goodlink to run on this yet) should I have any problem just re-flashing the new Cingular ROM over this XDA ROM?

[PaWi]

Welcome in the HALL of Fame...

Thanks to ALL the active people who made this happen.
Nice

[kyphur]

ok crap i just upgraded to the other guy's vanilla wm6 release

guess i'll flash this one on now lol
good work, just wondering if you fixed the keyboard issue (the symbols seem to be misaligned in a random order)


What's your hardware? For the 8525 you need to use the attached Cab File.

[saq]

Check the wiki, 8525s and other Hermes have a different keyboard setting.

[kyphur]

You shouldn't have any problem reverting to another Rom.

[dmozk]

Great work - Thanks Mate!

[Steveborough]

So has anyone gotten html mail to work?

[weinson]

You shouldn't have any problem reverting to another Rom.

Excellent ... you just decreased my productivity tomorrow by about 100%, but such is life....my 8525 is calling for an upgrade. Thanks for doing this!

Dare I ask, but is the next version already in the works (with some of the features noted as "missing" on page one to be integrated .. like voice dial and smart dial)?

[KevinBaker]

Great work, thanks a lot. I will most likely not update to this (as it really doesn't give me anything above the vanilla version that I need), but looking forward to when you can use what is seemingly not a beta-based WM6 :).

[kyphur]

Works for non-Exchange Accounts...

So has anyone gotten html mail to work?

[joedoe]

Will the backup from Sprite be able to restore apps and data after the flashing?

[PaWi]

Will the backup from Sprite be able to restore apps and data after the flashing?
It wont even after a normal rom update. So it will surely dont work when you upgrade to an other Windows versions

BTW Did i mention that this rom is FREAKINGLY FAST!!!!
Damn!!!! Good job

[walshieau]

now the question is... is HSDPA enabled by default???

[fabiuzz]

thank...I try it this afternoon.

You' re the best!

[shamus]

I can't believe it! It's my birthday today and such a nice present I have :D Thank you!!!

[aeroke]

Excellent ... you just decreased my productivity tomorrow by about 100%, but such is life....µ

Yeah, same here. Such a pitty I still have a meeting to attend to first.

Great work Kyphur and thx for sharing this with this impatient bunch :D

[chymmylt]

Not used to HTweakC but I am trying to unlock the extended rom. I set it in there, save settings exit saving settings and the extended rom doesn't appear - tried a soft reset (I seem to remember having to do that with previous ext. unlocker) and still doesn't appear. Also, it seems there's a certain level of reset every time I soft reset (i.e. recent programs disappear) - is this intentional - is it possible to make these stay through a soft reset?

Thanks again for all your hard work Kyphur!!!

[joelabete]

I can't believe it! It's my birthday today and such a nice present I have :D Thank you!!!

Happy B-Day ! :D :D

->ANd thx for this great rom kyphur!
You're the best !!!!!!

[saq]

Love this ROM, sofar better than the other! The builtin tweaks definitely help.
So it looks like HTML Exchange Sync support requires Exchange 2007 :( I have a test Exchange 2007 server I set up at work, I'll test it out.

Also, is there any way to get rid of the big glaring XDA LIVE on the today screen and go with the standard WM6 theme? No offense to Kypher, but I'm more of a minimalist kind of guy :)
Anyone have that file handy?

[TaurusBullba]

I may be wrong, but I don't believe there is an extended rom in this one.

[walshieau]

I may be wrong, but I don't believe there is an extended rom in this one.

no there isnt.. the apps are built into the OS...

[chymmylt]

I may be wrong, but I don't believe there is an extended rom in this one.

That could explain why it's not unlocking :D Now any idea why things like last run programs are disappearing from the windows menu upon restart? :D

[miguelromerom]

hi this roms sync´s with office 2007?¿?

thanks for your work machine

[TaurusBullba]

That could explain why it's not unlocking :D Now any idea why things like last run programs are disappearing from the windows menu upon restart? :D

That is odd. I just noticed those disappearing after you mentioned that.

I also just noticed that WLAN is really weak now. Anyone else find that to be the case?

[tadzio]

Now any idea why things like last run programs are disappearing from the windows menu upon restart? :D

Yes, but just an idea. I think the information that keeps disappearing for you is stored in the registry. If the WM6 registry is anything like the WM5 version, changes to it are not immediatelly written to Flash memory, but are cached in RAM. To flush the most recent registry changes to permanent memory, switch off the device (press the power button for some seconds) and back on rather than using the soft reset pinhole.

Cheers
Daniel

[Pc78]

Kyphur thanks a lot for this ROM....U R DA man! :D...

@all have someone tried to flash this from Vista (32-bit)?...cause I have Vista at home...

Regards,
Primoz

[panzer]

thanks thanks!
btw, what's missing? voice call or video call?

[chymmylt]

Tried that as well and still it disappears. Both resetting with the stylus and reseting with the power button shut down both result in loss of settings - I wonder if the registery is being reset on each restart?

[pello]

Yeehhhaa...thx Man...

[kassper]

Kyphur thanks a lot for this ROM....U R DA man! :D...

@all have someone tried to flash this from Vista (32-bit)?...cause I have Vista at home...

Regards,
Primoz

Wondering the same about vista. I use vista as my main computer now, but didn't want to risk it. I just uploaded it on my xp machine. It took only about 5 minutes though. Pretty sweet.

[chymmylt]

In fact now that I go back and look, none of HTweakC settings don't seem to stick, I save them and then when I go back, they haven't stuck at all - is the Registery protected somehow to prevent editing?

[fergie_uk]

Whats with the rapidshare, every time i go to download it gives me a invalid session.. I'm stuck in a loop..... ARGH!!! all this time waiting for this rom and now i cant get it!!!!..

Anyone else having this problem....?

[the_passenger]

dude, I don't think i'll be able to sleep tonight. By the time I finish the Upgrade, reinstall all the apps, I can just go to work.

thanks for all the hardwork guys

[jcute]

Great!!!! Thanks

[dmozk]

Not exactly, am being told to wait 53 mins though!

[ratcom]

Just started work here :( So i'll have to wait till I get home, but boy is this going to be the longest day or what!!!!!!

WELL DONE TO ALL OF THE TEAM INVOLDED!!!!!

[tsuishui]

can i downgrade to WM5 after upgrade to WM6 from this version?

[hellejoep]

Great work; Thanks!

[GeneNZ]

May I be annoying and ask if anyone has attempted to install the CAB used to enable the video calling on the Cingular Rom? I would try if I could find it. I searched through 70 pages of the Cingular thread, to no avail :S.

If someone could provide me a link, I would be happy to try.

[naciniak]

Can anybody confirm that mentioned problems with wifi? Someone wrote that wifi reception is much weaker...

I have downloaded the file and I am eagerly waiting for your first impressions.. Don't want to mess up my Tytn :)

[awh_tokyo]

I just updated to the vanilla Wm6 ROM, but I assume that this one will be the same wrt. VoIP calling.. I installed pof's CAB file, so now I have a "Internet Calling: No Service" on the Today screen... Am I missing something somewhere, I can't figure out where to define my SIP servers, etc.

9 more minutes before I can download the XDA-Live ROM...

[ratcom]

can i downgrade to WM5 after upgrade to WM6 from this version?
Yes you can, However it does state this elsewhere in this thread if you care to read it in full :rolleyes:


Please people lets not make this into a "will this fix my corrupt radio" or "How do I unlock my phone" thread, It would be nice if comments on the actual rom were posted instead..........

[.VIBE]

Wheee!!! good work man, am lovin dis ROM!

[Bennyres]

I followed this thread from the beginning, and now i feel a big 'Thanks a lot' is in place. I am not a wiz, so can;t follow all the things you guys talk about ,but i know enough to be able to use it.
So, i will put it soon in my mda vario 2 :)
Again, great work and thanks a lot. When i find something that would be helpfull to you i will post it here!

[stinger32]

Damn I wish something like this could happen to Trinity aswell.
Kyphur--> You dont have a WM6-rom for Trinity?

[bubu23]

DAMN IM AT WORK NOW

ok ill get home just throwed my wife away the window i need time alone:D


i have now boot 1.01

it will be change or ineed to flash os alone?

[belu]

Sorry for this stupid question but if i lunch ROMUpgradeUt.exe he juste flash my OS or flash radio rom htc_boot ... ?

I say that because i don't want to loose my radio rom.

[esseff]

Man are people here serious? I think the excitment is going to peoples heads and they are not thinking straight.

Why would anyone want to update a perfectly operating WM5 for a half baked WM6 with many things missing and many things not working?????

Must be smonething wrong with me.... but I don't want to go backwards.

[TaurusBullba]

Sorry for this stupid question but if i lunch ROMUpgradeUt.exe he juste flash my OS or flash radio rom htc_boot ... ?

I say that because i don't want to loose my radio rom.

That just flashes your OS. Your radio will stay intact.

[Kings Lee]

What else can I say except...

THANK YOU!

I am going to try the upgrade after finish downloading, damn, cutting my resting time to 0!

[mrvanx]

Two VERY quick questions:

1. Are we cool to add this to the new wiki section (with mirrors if possible??) ??

2. Can somebody quickly confirm this only upgrades the OS not the radio or SPL??

[bubu23]

can you please post your comment about the new ver


strange i dounload it and it disapeared lolll

now i need to wait 50 min damn:cool:

[TaurusBullba]

Two VERY quick questions:

1. Are we cool to add this to the new wiki section (with mirrors if possible??) ??

2. Can somebody quickly confirm this only upgrades the OS not the radio or SPL??


1. Umm... dunno.

2. I can confirm that your radio and spl stay the same. This only changes the OS.

[mrvanx]

1. Umm... dunno.

2. I can confirm that your radio and spl stay the same. This only changes the OS.

1. il add it, and im sure if its not ok it will be removed pretty quickly.

2. excellent. thanks.


LOL im at uni now but im gonna download it and give it a try tonight when i get home (NINE HOURS LATER!!!!)

EDIT:: If anyone could update the version numbers etc... on the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs) page that would be good. (maybe add a mirror or two, since rapidshare is pretty URGH!)

[Globalrebel]

Is anyone else getting the "Help make Windows Better" notification everytime they softreset or turn off then on ur phone? I click next and choose NOT to send information, and everytime i softreset it comes back up!!
If someone could help me remove this, it would be a great help!! :)

Try a "shut-down and turn back on" reset by holding the power button then pressing "yes". I figure the OS then saves any changes and it might not pop-up next time you turn back on. A soft reset is like pressing reset on your pc, you lose any changes that arent saved, this may be one of them?!

[the_passenger]

this rom changes my custom splash screen into HTC, other than that, it is just so damn fast. I just installed a turbo charges onto my Hermes.

[belu]

I update my rom but now i can't make video call. One solution ?

[zohaer21]

brilliant work to all the gurus involved
but,,,,,,,,,,,

plz plz need more download links (aka alternative sites)
coz rapid share is not accessible for many ppl...

[Globalrebel]

That did it. Thanx Mrvanx.

[sub69]

Good work.

But can we have the Vanilla version too please? (or have I missed a link somewhere?)

[the_passenger]

I update my rom but now i can't make video call. One solution ?

um, did you R.T.F.P. ? (Read The First Post)

[jompao]

Great work team! :)

Just one question, it says no Smart Dialer. Now excuse a noob but can I install this myself afterwards or do I need to wait for a new version of this cool rom?

Just another user on this site with no value to add to development, but simply thanks to Kyphur. Fantastic work.

[edit]

Just loaded this up - wow! How fast is this ROM by comparison to ver 2.05?!! This is like a massive improvement in speed.

Once again, excellent work guys!
:o)

[GeneNZ]

um, did you R.T.F.P. ? (Read The First Post)

In fear of getting flamed by other posters, I have read absolutely everything I can get my hands on. In defense of the previous poster, the first post doesn't actually say anything about video calling. It says this version doesn't include "voice calling" not "video calling". Is that a typo?
Cos my voice calling works.

[belu]

ouff i'm not creazy i read all firt post and i not found something about video call.

Works for non-Exchange Accounts...

I to am unable to use HTML email within my Exchange Server 2003, this was the one biggest features i was really looking forward to as my phone is a business tool, has anybody managed to get HTML working with Exchange 2003?

Appart from that this ROM is so damn quick, this is how my VarioII should have been from the start!!.

A thousand thank you's to all involved especially kyphur, i salute you sir!

75% done at 60kb/s for me, will try to set up a torrent when done.

[lstoll]

So has anyone gotten html mail to work?

It works fine for me, with Exchange 2007. Maybe its a limitation of how Exchange 2003 formats/sends the mail to the device?

Linc.

Look for the String "Xda Live" in your registry Editor and delete the Value.

[tsuishui]

tried to install come WM5 software, it works fine. Also I can install CE-Star to show the Chinese in this version. Everyone should give it a try.

[cyberdrakula]

anyone know how to enable HSDPA on this ROM???


It is enabled I get the 3G and U icons. I have the GPS enabled Radio and for some reason I get better reception with this than with the Last Unreleased Cingular ROM. I still have to figure why that is.

[renegade1]

hi, just want to confirm if i can still go back to t mobile UK rom AKU 2.3 after flashing this rom.

just some "void warranty" reason. :) thanks

HERM300
IPL = 1.01
SPL = 1.04
ROM version = 1.21.110.3
ROM date = 6/19/06
RADIO version = 1.16.00.00

[walshieau]

thats interesting though... i get those icons also but how do you actually know your using HSDPA and not UMTS?

[cyberdrakula]

Thanks to cyberdrakula....One more thing,i did mistake something about speed dail.There is no speed dail no 1.It start no. 2.So no1 is missing. Pls help!!!

This Version is missing:

Voice Call.
Push To Talk.
Smart Dialer.
Microsoft Live! Mobile.
Windows Mobile Update

That is from KYPHUR's first post from this thread.

yes you can by using SSPL

[cyberdrakula]

yes you can by using SSPL

There is no need to use SSPL if the device is Super CID already as the Bootloader seems to be 1.04.

[renegade1]

yes you can by using SSPL

ok, cheers mate.

[renegade1]

There is no need to use SSPL if the device is Super CID already as the Bootloader seems to be 1.04.

cheers for clearing.

[walshieau]

There is no need to use SSPL if the device is Super CID already as the Bootloader seems to be 1.04.

but if your device is SuperCID then its warranty has been void

[naciniak]

Strange.. Icon is showing U, but when i connect to the internet the small icon says E (edge..)
By the way.. in this locality i have had very poor 3G signal and phone was constantly switching to GSM. I have radio 1.27... Any ideas?

I manually switched to GSM.. and there is still U icon.. damn..

[renegade1]

but if your device is SuperCID then its warranty has been void

the staffs on the shop won't notice that if i ask for replacement. or do you think otherwise. ;)

Good Catch. It seems to connect via EDGE even when on U/3G. I doubled checked by calling my device from another phone and trying to browse a page at the same time. hmmm... need to look into this.

When are you expecting to release the full release kyphur?

I currently have my AKU3.x rom fully configured, but I'm afraid that the SPB Mobile Shell won't work on WM6, which is keeping me from upgrading atm.

How are people experiencing the new ROM and Could somebody post some pictures? :D

[cyberdrakula]

the staffs on the shop won't notice that if i ask for replacement. or do you think otherwise. ;)


Here with cingular, they don't check for Super CID or Sim unlock etc when replacing devices. I don't how much time other providers have to do this check on each and every device that comes back.

[futureshock]

It is enabled I get the 3G and U icons. I have the GPS enabled Radio and for some reason I get better reception with this than with the Last Unreleased Cingular ROM. I still have to figure why that is.

Hi, there ... i think thats not an "feature" of the new rom...

have seen that also on my aku 3.3 rom...

some times i have full reception but sometimes only 2 bars left... (all in same place...) and i also know what it is....

while i have hsdpa reception i have only the 2 bars when i lost the hsdpa then i have umts with all bars...

think this indicator isn't significant as everyone beliefs...

ok youve got me there :D:D.... now back to HSDPA hahaha... anyway we can check??

[renegade1]

Remember though that broken devices will often be refitted to ship as replacements to other customers. Depending on the refitting methods (surely no real repairing, but switchting to the bootloader and trying to reflash probably is part of that) the service department may notice - depending on your contract, replacements are not always new devices! So you'll get the replacement in the shop, but a month later or so it'll be billed to you full price...

didn't get that. you working with vodafone or any network?

BILLED IN FULL PRICE!!! you're kidding right.

[GeneNZ]

anyone know how to enable HSDPA on this ROM???

Are you finding that when you go into HTweakC 2.1 and look at the menu Tweaks > Phone, that the Enable and Disable HSDPA buttons are blanked out? Does this mean its enabled automatically?

I'm getting the 3G icon, and sometimes the G icon when I'm not in 3G coverage. Previously on my AKU2.3 Rom, the network would report "UMTS Vodafone NZ" when I was in a 3G enabled zone, and "Vodafone NZ" in a GPRS zone.

With this new rom, it says "Vodafone NZ" all the time, but the icon changes from 3G and G as it did previously.

Sound familiar?

Spb Mobile Shell working perfectly for me. Also...

Spb Pocket Plus
WiFiFoFum
VisualGPS
TomTom 6.02

...all working perfectly.

The only problem I have is DeviceLock not working. Anyone else tried this?

[naciniak]

Good Catch. It seems to connect via EDGE even when on U/3G. I doubled checked by calling my device from another phone and trying to browse a page at the same time. hmmm... need to look into this.

When i updated WM6 rom few hours ago it worked OK.. It was switching between GSM and UMTS. BUT.. that time i had Radio 1.18!! When i realized that it is rather old i have updated to 1.27.. And it started to do this..

[paul_o]

hi,

Just upgraded and was busily installing my apps back on but hit a snag - BBConnect. For some reason, I cannot maintain a data tunnel/connection. This is regardless of the version of BBConnect I try (2.1.2.20, .39 and .52).

Anyone else had this problem? Apart from new ROM, other details are as my sig file.

Thanks in advance.

i know what your talking about.. HTweakC used a SetHSDPA.exe file on the device... now the file does not exist therefore HTweakC cannot enable it... but i thought it was a reg hack anyway... im not sure...

As usual, we've hit the download limit at RapidShare. Anyone care to seed a torrent?

Thanks!

Good to hear, but another question :D

I'm currently storing my text messages on my laptop using Jeyo Mobile Extender. Is this outlook plugin also functional with WM6? Or does WM6 have an option to store text massages?

Bad to hear that devicelock isnt working, I also use that tool.

And Pocketmusic? Or has mediaplayer improved?

[chris_khho]

Can I confirm that this ROM does not have "video" calling? The same as the WM6 for the Univeral......

Will future releases include updates for this version or will we be looking at a complete rom reflash, in otherwords losing all the data and programs installed again? It takes me hours to rebuild after a rom update.

Waiting to load XDA live...

Ps Many thanks to those behind this release, whoever you are!

[cyberdrakula]

OK I Might have to correct myself about HSPDA. I ran the fieldtest and got no data on the HSPDA. After installing "SetHSDPA.exe" and putting the link file in the startup folder and resetting, I got data to show in the fieldtest.

So Read the WIKI and follow instructions.

Sorry for the previous post on this if i may have misled anyone. Been up all night Running and testing these 2 new ROMS. :D

I installed the live messenger beta, and it appeared to work fine. I signed in without any issues while it was connected using activesync. Seems to also work fine wirelessly.

Although I have come across another problem. Anyone else experiencing a problem where you use your wireless successfully, then after disconnecting from wireless, you try connecting using HSDPA/UMTS/GPRS to surf, and it refuses to connect? Only a soft reset seems to allow me to reconnect for some reason.

Its not a major for me since in New Zealand it costs us $10 per megabyte, so its too expensive to use.

Which version are you running out of interest?

[kyphur]

Remove StartClean.lnk from the Startup Folder then your recent programs list will stay.

Not used to HTweakC but I am trying to unlock the extended rom. I set it in there, save settings exit saving settings and the extended rom doesn't appear - tried a soft reset (I seem to remember having to do that with previous ext. unlocker) and still doesn't appear. Also, it seems there's a certain level of reset every time I soft reset (i.e. recent programs disappear) - is this intentional - is it possible to make these stay through a soft reset?

Thanks again for all your hard work Kyphur!!!

[marco899]

Just a little thank you for this rom. Works great for me.

[Prerna]

Good one, will try that as well!

Just upgraded 5 minutes back, and was really surpised how fast it went!

The wizard said it'd take 25 minutes, while everything was actually completed in less than 5 minutes. Maybe because no Radio and no Ext ROM.

Again, thank you!

[ReinerK]

I just tested Asukal's "Making-Hermes-German.cab" (I think it was Asukal?!??)
My results: After choosing "deutsch" in the UI und about 2min and the softreset EVERYHTING was german!!
BUT: Messaging didn't work and Smart-Dail too! So I uninstalled one of the sofwareentries from "Programm entfernen". Now approx three quarter of the OS is english again, BUT the "Qwertz" ist still german!!
I hope Asukal will bring his "Making-Hermes-German" for WM6...
Pleeeeeeeese!!

[kyphur]

There is a registry Key which enables UTMS Prefix, it is off by default.

Set "HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\Enable3GLongNamePre fix" = 1

The Task Bar icon correctly indicated 3G Coverage. I can change it to be on by default if you'd like

I'm looking for the HSPDA Enable stuff to embed

Don't expect a new Rom from we until the weekend, we need to find as many things to fix as possible.

I just woke up and look at this all exitement.. :D

kyphur, you made people less productive today.. shame on you !!! :p

Any hint when could we expect the full version with msn live, win update and all the rest that comes with WM6, but without the extra programs, just clean full WM6 ROM ?

I will be looking for that one, so I had to ask for a little hint, hope you are not mad :cool:


Great job guys, you deserve a landmark of your own.. maybe a statue, so you all be remembered of what you do here... keep up the good work :cool:

[gurubumsmack]

I'd be interested in that as well to be honest.

[naciniak]

damn.. I've made a little test. I went to a place covered by 3G signal and icon indicated 3G. But wen I was in a area with only GSM signal icon indicated U! What the..!? So it seems that it shows U instead of G. I've made a hard reset and it's all the same..

i also noticed this, im using the raw vanilla rom at the moment.

I am running version 2.1.2.31 that was available from Dopod's website (access to members only) Is there a newer version out there that would work better?

My mistake, a soft reset seems to be needed after installing DeviceLock. It is working fine now.

Hi,

I wanted to upgrade it but since the service provider in HK (three) only supports the old IE of WM5 for customers to surf their intranet stuffs + news ( knows this problem because even the new IE of SKU3.3 of WM5 cannot be used) , can we install the old IE over this PDA Live?

thanks.:confused:

[Applestar]

Well, I could not resist: WM6 ist working on my german TyTN - Only the keyboard layout should be changed to german somehow :( Do the old registry tweaks for on this one?

Tomtom 6 working nicely. Resco Explorer doing its job. Bandswitch activated... well, well another 75 apps to go... :)

Are you able to use Bandswitch? Because my Tytn always shows U.. and bandswitch doesn't seem to work properly. Please try if you are able to get "G" icon instead of U or 3G. And if yes, than what radio are you using?

This might be the same problem i noticed when i upgraded to AKU3.3. The O2 pda site seemed to not recognise the browser as one of a pda, and redirected me to the text-only wap site. Opera works fine (but its not free).
So in other words theres a problem with our operators not supporting the new IE rather than an actual problem with the IE version.

I have good 3G coverage between home & work, I'll keep and eye on this as I take my daughter to the Dr today though.

I following this thread (and the other) from the beginning! Its a part of living! hehehe ;)

Can anyone tell me wich radio rom works best with the new xda-live rom??
And with the new sppl loader do I have to make the device super-cid?
I did search for for an answer, but this forum is sooooo BIIGGGG that i cant find the correct answer.

[kyphur]

As we test by creating Cab files (to reduce the number of times we flash our devices each hour;)) I could make some updates available as Cabs.

Understand that installing Cabs will consume storage memory.

The upside is that you can get the new fixes and wait longer to do a full flash. I guess we need to see if there is interest in that option.

Did that and I see the G symbol. Switched back to Auto and I see 3G again. This is confirmed by browsing during a call.

The best thing is that I seem to be able to dial out at the first attempt instead of the old problem of dialling four or five time before connecting. Anyone else seen improvements with this issue?

Just a suggestion: Instead of releasing a totally new ROM, would it be possible to just release CAB files so people can choose between Smartdial, video call, PTT for themselves?

[kyphur]

I will be doing that as intermediate fixes. These cab file will be specific to WMXL and will not work on the Vanilla Rom though.

I have read through all the thread and want to get confirmation before I attempt to upgrade and potentially brick my device.

I am still running the origional Orange UK ROM and have NOT SuperCID my device. I only SIM unlocked it.

Do I need to use the SSPL to load this new ROM?
Or just run the installer that comes with it?

thanks in advance for the help.

[flyboy009]

Kyphur, I really like that cab file update idea.

After some play time this morning I've noticed the following from Vanilla:
1 - Data Symbol always shows 'U' even when I'm connected, the area I live in only has Edge right now so when I am connected the symbol above the signal bars has and 'E' but the main symbol always shows 'U'
2 - Everything in the UI is much faster in this ROM.
3 - Phone calling is much more stable even though the radio is the same (using 1.33 from the cingular 2.06 rom.). I've been on a conference call for work for almost 4 hours now, walking around my house, outside and a quick trip to the store with no problems. (Gotta love Cingular!)

I've installed the following apps without any problems:
Total Commander
PHM Regedit
Google Maps - External GPS works great
Live Search
XnPocket
YWReader

Still looking for more time after my meetings today to test apps using data connections to test stability. Overall things are looking really good.

I will be doing that as intermediate fixes. These cab file will be specific to WMXL and will not work on the Vanilla Rom though.

Does nobody prefer to use the real WXML rom as the basis for further work, why everybody is so exited, it are just betas, both the vanilla and the basis rom in WXMML V0.10!

Letting kyphur working on his own project with his final rom, is the better alternative i think, than building patches over patches for nothing since we got the final and no beta rom from kyphur.

Of Course it is great to have crossbow on our little babys, but a beta core is and ever will be a beta core...

From the wiki:


Put custom text on bottom-right of Today screen

You can set some piece of text on the bottom-right of the Today Screen by setting the following key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta\Today = "Hello World" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Please note that this text won't take up Today item text. It will be obscured by Today items.


Just delete the values of that key.

the staffs on the shop won't notice that if i ask for replacement. or do you think otherwise. ;)

I'll tell you later - my computer crashed half way through the upgrade and bricked my Vod 1605. 6 hours and every 'WIKI Upgrade problem' solution later I think it's going back to the shop...

Oh well, had fun trying (and frying :o )... but will definately try again when the phone is fixed... but first fix and stabilise my 'puter so no more crashes...

[weinson]

Kyphur - if you could update the first page to answer the oft asked questions:


Do I need to be SuperCID to install?
Does it matter what bootloader I have to install?


That would be great. Candidly, I have not found the answer to these questions yet either (and I, like many, am not SuperCID and have bootloader 1.09 on my PDA .... will it work for me?).

[jeffhesser]

when i run the executable it gets all the way to where other roms update and it closes active sync then proceeds to tell me my phone is not connected.... anyone else having this problem? i've rebooted the phone, tried 2 different versions of active sync, and before i go through the trouble of downgrading my existing ROM wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem... thanks

This is noted in the self-extracting archive (that first page of text where you clicked a button).

when i run the executable it gets all the way to where other roms update and it closes active sync then proceeds to tell me my phone is not connected.... anyone else having this problem? i've rebooted the phone, tried 2 different versions of active sync, and before i go through the trouble of downgrading my existing ROM wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem... thanks

SuperCID is not required to install.

Bootloader does not matter.

Kyphur - if you could update the first page to answer the oft asked questions:

Do I need to be SuperCID to install?
Does it matter what bootloader I have to install?
That would be great. Candidly, I have not found the answer to these questions yet either (and I, like many, am not SuperCID and have bootloader 1.09 on my PDA .... will it work for me?).

Final question.. will this work from Vista?

[Applestar]

Want the german hardware keyboard layout back?

Change these:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
"Default"="e0010407"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
"Default"="e0010407"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
"20407" (hex!)

And soft-reset. It will work then.

(What is missing is the german on-screen keyboard - any help?)

plz ineed arabic support for wm6 where can i find it ,,,,,,

[jasonmoe]

anyone know how to get the BtAudio going again. Im not finding the correct place for the reg hack in the registry.

Thanks

Is the OS build the same as the vanilla ROM? I might be tempted to buy a TyTN again after this :)

[raymondu999]

I will be doing that as intermediate fixes. These cab file will be specific to WMXL and will not work on the Vanilla Rom though.

Kyphur, I just thought of it. Is it possible to just install a video call capable dialpad skin and perform a video call?

[jeffhesser]

i never get a security message on my phone. it acts like the installer never actually communicates with the phone. it gets to the step where the phone normally reboots and starts the upgrade process but with this installer it simply kills my active sync connection and then tries for a few minutes before telling me it's not going to work.

[VIPPER2004]

i Had tried that, installing a video call capable dialpad skin, but when i tried to make a video call, i received a incoming call(very strange) ... only when i pick it up, the video one is connected ... i could not seed the caller, but the caller sow me ... and the the tytn freeze. (tried installing VT, but the same)

[raymondu999]

Anyone else has any thoughts on the matter?

[LeoPheonix]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is great!!

I was wondering though, how long do we think it will be before an non beta version of WM6 will be avilable to base an XDA live build on?

I imagine no longer than it'll take a carrier to release their hacked-up non-beta version of WM6...

The Vanilla release you're seeing now is more of a preview, as far as I'm concerned. It gives us all a chance to use WM6, while still looking forward to an actual release.

I guess we'll see what happens...

I have an error ?

[coercri]

Does anyone else have any problems unlocking the EXT_ROM? I can see it, but not change it, Ive tried the built in HTweakC and a reg hack that worked for me before?

Any ideas??

[steverae]

Oh My God !!!

There you go, i go to bed one night all sad without wm6 and wake up the next day to wm6..... one day after my birthday !!! what can i say, a late birthday present from kyphur !!!!

thanks mate.

There isnt an ExtROM yet sir, all the programs are embedded in the ROM

[coercri]

Yes I know there isn't, but I like mine unlocked and accessible so I can store stuff on there - as an extra storage area, but it won't seem to unlock.

[Radek Hulán]

May I ask you if these will be added in a future release:
* Voice Call (mush-have for BT HF).
* Push To Talk.
* Smart Dialer.
* Microsoft Live! Mobile (Live Messenger, and others).

I consider these 4 functions very basic.

Thank you.

Im not sure what the deal is with that, EDIT:: never mind!

[kyphur]

Possibly but the button images are missing from this Rom.
I will try to have a cab file for it tonight that include the required images.

Kyphur, I just thought of it. Is it possible to just install a video call capable dialpad skin and perform a video call?

[coercri]

I don't want the Extended_ROM flashed too, I can see all the programs/data in there already (they were what I put in there when I was using my previous ROM - before upgrade to XDA Live), I want to be able to access this area for my own use.

As I said I can see it (shown), but its not accessible(unlocked) and the unlockers (reg and programs) don't do it.

AH I see!!!! :)

Am i right in saying the hide/unhide options in HTwekC are greyed out?
Perhaps theres a new method of locking it off in WM6??!
To be investigated i think people!

Before upgrade, I copied the cabs from my Extended_ROM, when I had flashed the phone with the XDA Live ROM, I installed the cabs that were in the Ext_ROM (before upgrade).

This gave me access for video calling, but no dialpad keys, so I installed the TyTN_Blue_215_100_0.cab file that I found in the WIKI, and all works great now with video calling.

My Ext_ROM cabs were for UK Orange by the way.

Idea: For example you want the latest AKU 3.3 Ext ROM from Cingular with the new WM6 XDA ROM OS. Use Olipro Kitchen ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Hermes/ModifiedRUUUpdater-V2.rar

You can extract the XDA WM6 Vanilla, add your radio and your ext rom and you should atleast have a Full RUU.

[mr.r9]

u could go to http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/index.php
and look for the arabizer software,i dont own a heremes but theres no harm in trying:D

Wow thanks a bunch there kyphur. Looks like us Hermes users have a Guru now.

[zwuncki]

i can only say one thing: thank you so much for sharing all of this with us and for working so hard and trying to give us the best rom possible.

i've noticed that this wm6 rom seems to be a little slower than the clean (orwells) wm6 rom for the wizard even though the hermes has a much faster/better processor...

and i want windows LIVE!!!!! :D

again: thx very much. :)

[unwired4]

noob alert!

If I have a sim locked SPV M3100 - do I need to unlock it before applying this os?

[chymmylt]

Remove StartClean.lnk from the Startup Folder then your recent programs list will stay.

Aces!!! - Thanks again for every thing Kyphur!

[Dracula72]

i found arbic for wm6 butthe keyboard is not typing arabic help

[MGraf]

Could someone please try WiFi with this rom? Someone said that the reception is worse than with WM5. But I'd be most interested in WPA with AES encryption (Should be there if you can choose something like WPA2). Does this work?

Thanks to everybody involved in this. It's great work!

[daddy_yankee1980]

wow, been following this thread for a while now. Does anyone know if this ROM works well on the 8125>

I just updated to the vanilla Wm6 ROM, but I assume that this one will be the same wrt. VoIP calling.. I installed pof's CAB file, so now I have a "Internet Calling: No Service" on the Today screen... Am I missing something somewhere, I can't figure out where to define my SIP servers, etc.

9 more minutes before I can download the XDA-Live ROM...

Does anyone have any followup on this? I've looked around and i can't find a way to configure SIP servers.

[Jygar]

Hay Guys

This will be my first ROM flash on my Vario 2, but I want to know what I will need to do if I want to restore the T-Mobile Vario 2 origional ROM?

Complete noob as to restoring, sorry for the repeated question if answered before.

[waffle418]

Just finished installing this program and I have to say I am absolutely stunned! After reading through and picking up the cab files I wanted to install afterwards, this install went so smooth... no problems whatsoever and thank you for all your hard work!

(OH BTW This is my first post to go off of your sig!)

[digitalfx]

This is my first rom update on the Tytn....worked perfectly, THANKS!!

so far everything works fine. Exchange works and seems much faster. Wifi works now...always had problems before.

THANKS!!!

[cybertron]

I can also confirm that it updates perfectly, and it seems to be stable!

At last I can stop using Flexmail for the HTML mails which Outlook now handle!! :D

thanks for this WM6,

One question though, i have read some posts that this is a beta release? is it WM6 that is beta or is it XDALIVE?

I believe it's a beta of WM6 that is wrapped inside XDALIVE. This is based on the "Vanilla WM6" that was just put out here earlier. This is more of an initial release of the XDALIVE that kyphur is working on. That is still planned for release by this weekend, according to kyphur. I think he wants to get all the bug info from everyone on this one first to tweak his some more. There's a dedicated thread for that.

It's a Beta release of XDA Live... I guess...

This is XDA Live that's built around a Beta ROM. When kyphur gets the go-ahead from his source (or WM6 for Hermes is officially released), he'll release the REAL version (i.e. not Beta).

Both of these versions are the same ROM, The XDA live just has some of kyphurs changes, (which he made to his wm6 ROM) to this ROM. So they are the same and therefor both beta.

HTML is activated if you use either Exchange 2007 OR imap (don't know about pop3)

Another question, is there any way to apply language cab files (if they exists) to change UI language (just curious) and more importantly, can one change the keyboard layout to resemble ones hardware keyboard (in my case: swedish qwerty )

I have flashed my swedish TyTn with this, unlock your extended rom first and copy at least P_Nordic_keypad_mapping.cab. That shall be done with your swedish WM5 OS of course before you flash XDA Live 0.1

Then when you have flashed XDA Live you can install that cab and the swedish hardware keyboard works as before. I can just say that I love this rom even if it is beta it feels faster and more stable than the other roms.

If this is just an OS Flash then your current Ext_ROM will still be there correct, and upon the first hardreset the old Ext_ROM will run? I hope this is true.
