[REPORT ISSUES] WMXL "XDA Live" Edition (v0.10)

[kyphur]

Report Issues Here:
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!

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 available 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!
Please let's keep this thread clean. This will aide in getting things fixed/added as quickly as possible.

If you just want to chatter go to one of the two other threads for this Rom (see the end of the FAQ a few posts down). I will leave only one thread sticky but it will always contain links to all "Official" Thread for the Rom.

Known Issues:

Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is broken.
Keyboard Backlight Sensor turned off by default.
Turn Off Wi-Fi link is missing from "Connections Bubble".
WiFi enabled on Boot (WiFi Init) is missing.The following are missing:

ClearVue PDF Viewer.
Cyberon Voice Dialer.
Internet Calling (VOIP).
MSN. (Note this is replaced my MS Live! and wil not be grafted into this Rom)
Note Recorder (including ability to press & Hold to record).
Video Call.
Push To Talk.
SetHSDPA.exe
Add 8525 Keyboard Fix Cab into Rom. (you must install it but it will be there for you now)
Smart Dialer.
Microsoft Live! Mobile. (until there is a real release I will consider installing from the desktop as the fix for this, once there is an official release of WLM or A WM6 Rom that includes it this will become embedded)
Windows Mobile Update.The WMXL Team is working hard to get these integrated into the Rom.

Items in GREEN are finished for the next release. I would like to time 0.x dot releases at least 1 week apart so expect WMXL v0.20 on March 5th (2007 of course) which will include all verified fixes as of March 3rd.

[kyphur]

Q: How do I install it.
A: The self extracting archive will run the 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 all bootloader versions. This installer only has a HTC Splash Screen and the OS, No radio or Ext_ROM.

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). 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: Can you release Cab file updates instead of cooking new Roms to flash?
A: I will do both. For example coming soon with be WMXL Update Cabs for Internet Calling, Video Calling, SetHSDPA and Windows Live! Mobile (for example). These will all be embedded into WMXL v0.2. I'm doing this to save you from having to flash you device as often as I am. Remember the Cab files will consume Program Memory whereas the new Rom releases will not.

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 the evening building and testing this Rom for Release. Expect this to delay the release of the How-To but it is still coming.

Q: Will you still release a version based on the original Rom (from your unnamed source).
A: Sort of. There will be a release either based on the Original Base Rom (Rom-X) or an Official Released Carrier Rom. This is why I used scripts to make the Mods to the Rom file, I had a working Rom on the Vanilla Base 20 minutes after I downloaded it. I spent most of last night making sure it was stable before releasing.

Q: Why do my recent programs keep disappearing on every reset?
A: That is StartClean. If you don't want this then simply delete the shortcut from your Startup Folder.

Q: I have more questions...

This Rom really 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.
Sleuth255, 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.If I missed someone I apologize, just PM me and I'll update the list.

[kyphur]

I'm downloading now.
I will try.
Thanks to all!

No, No, No...

Don't put posts like this here!!!! Use the other two threads for that.

Please only post issues that need to be investigated/fixed here.

(Yes someone, a senior member no less, really did post that)

[kyphur]

Have you unchecked "Enable Advanced Networking" in the USB to PC applet on the Connections Settings Page?

I don't use WM5toage but can check it out tonight.

I can't seem to get wm5torage working on this new rom.

When I reconnect the USB lead after activating the utility, windows recognises the mass storage device but then throws up an error and fails.

[paul_o]

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to get this running on the new ROM? Tried v2.1.2.21 and v2.1.2.52, but netiher will sync. Both see network, bbriefly create a tunnel and then disconnect.

Anyone got a similair experience - or better still offer a tip?

Thanks in advance

[kyphur]

1. HSPDA executable missing.
2. Keyboard Fix (Cing ShoeString?)
3. Add Voip.cab from Helmi?
These three are on the list (two already addressed for next release)

4. The icon sets of 3G/U/E/G connections for Voice/Data connections. Showing U for Voice and E for Data.
5. Keyboard Backlight Fix

We need to keep an eye on the Connection Icons, only report if you have this problem, please include hardware and carrier.

Please explain the Keyboard Backlight Fix.

[N2h]

dude just a big thanks il be installing this tonight (after stargate!) and will make some posts as to progress -
WMstorage-
i use this alot so will trouble shoot if there are any problems and see if i can resolve
all the best everyone
peace out-

[kyphur]

Added the Turn WiFi Off issue to the list.

Added WiFiInit on startup to fixes for next release. In the meantime, fin WifiInit.exe in the Windows Folder and make a shortcut to it in the Startup Folder.

I also noticed the lack of "turn off wifi", and sadly another little problem: When the device come out of standby and was previously connected to a wifi acces point it is unable to connect again automatiquely. I can either turn off/on wifi to solve this, or simply manualy go in options and force the connection to the acces point I want.

What is in fact the smartdialing? I have so far the same functionnality with wm2006 I had with wm2005 and smartdialing. I don't see what is missing

[cyberdrakula]

Disabling the auto light sensing. This is a real bother where the light does not come up sometimes when you hit a key in the keyboard. I don't know if it is possible to disable it by default.

settings/buttons/backlight/enable keyboard backlight auto sensor

[kyphur]

I'll look for the registry key and add it to the initial registry (if I can).

Under the SMS section of messenging, the left softkey is assigned to Delete, rather than New in WM5. Not sure if this is a WM6 vs WM5 thing as no other WM6 devices to compare to.....

Same problem as paul_0 here is having. i'm on a different network but same problem. any thoughts yet?

[kyphur]

Nope, do we want ClearVue or Adobe?

Is there a pdf reader in this OS? I just noticed that my email attachment didn't have the usual pdf icon.

I tried unchecking the tick box and this allowed the removable drive to install.

Unfortunately, I couldn't browse the directory structure though - it just shows it as blank. I did get a directory listing once but it then froze.

I also tried installing Card Export II but this just hung when I tried to browse the card.

[richy240]

I've noticed that the device locks while sending mail. That is, for a couple seconds during the process, scrolling is disabled and the buttons have no effect on the interface at all. Then, when it wakes back up, all input is executed, including scrolling and button presses. Any ideas?

This is with the default Vanilla ROM, I should mention - I am about to upgrade to XDA Live 0.1 now.

[LinoX]

Definitely ADOBE.
ClearVue doesn't work with many pdf.

[flyboy009]

I'm trying out PocketXpdf which is an opensource reader, footprint is much smaller which would leave us more room for other items. But this could become a user preference item really, didn't know if that should have been there or not but I'm fine with installing on my storage card since its not a huge deal.

[ibanyard]

sync.ico into \windows.... (although perhaps someone with more time on their hands can create a better set...)

[fergie_uk]

Dont know if anyone else is having the problem, but if i leave the device for a period of time it does not switch off, the backlight goes off but not the PDA, ive tried adjusting the Power settings to Turn of device if not used for 2 minutes but it does not go off...

Humm is it just my device?

Regards
David

[flyboy009]

Where is MSN?

WM6 no longer uses MSN, it uses Windows Live but this has not yet been included in the ROM. They are working on it, keep watching Kyphurs 1st post and when its ready it will be there.

Kyphur, I really like this PocketXpdf program, it renders better than adobe and takes about 1.2 Megs. Its a free cab file I found a link from brighthand. Its working great on wm6 so if you would like to include it I've attached the file.

[hshortt]

Hi, thanks for the excellent release. I've got Video calling working (tested both ends) using the following cab files from a previous extended rom and the following ZombieNexus skin.

Install the ZombieNexus skin last, you also get speed dialling as part of the set.

But I don't know what else the extended rom cabs are doing, so hope this helps you.

cheerio

Hi Kyphur,

Just thank you, I'm not having any problems with this ROM.

A suggestion - I see you like VJ555's candela flashlight util. The other one from VJ that all of use who use the HERMES in sunlight find indespensable is VJlumosIII (http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjlumosiii/vjlumosiii.exe)

yes, no, just go with the flow.

[reonan]

Thanks to all who put effort into this! :D

Is it possible to change or modify the language? I'd be willing to translate to german - if this is even possible...

[LuckeeLou]

I have a Sandisk 2GB storage card and similar to AKU 3.3, the device lost the card. I looked in the registry and the tweak suggested in the aku 3.3 thread was already applied.

[Kikouyou]

As there is only an os.nb in the RRU_signed.nbh, I guess we can also use the mtty method to flash? right?

Thanks

[richy240]

Is the ablity to view HTML email dependent on weather the Exchange server supports it? If it is, is there a setting to turn it on or is it only supported with Exchange 2007?

I was wondering the same thing. HTML mail works on my IMAP accounts, but not on my Exchange account. Hmm...

[xl46]

I am using Cingular 8525 device. And the cab works for me. Maybe you should include your device info here.

Already done that, it has no effect. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling as well.

[omega2008]

Sorry I must of missed it when I read thru the pages. I knew it was a registry edit but wasn't sure what key. Thanks for the info. This ROM is crazy fast! I really like it. I noticed that you had to peform a registry edit to get cleartype to show in landscape mode...only problem is that it won't stick so I changed the Registry Type from Hive (1) to File (0) and it sticks. I was wondering why it won't stick by leaving the Registry as Hive type? Also what is the difference between the two...I know its off topic but I never was able to figure it out. Thanks alot.

[kyphur]

This Rom does not contain either M$ Voice Command or Cyberon Voice Speed Dial/Voice Commander.

I will not embed either into WMXL as everyone has their preferences including not using either and the only free one is the cheezy Voice Speed Dial.

Voice speed dial is in this ROM, M$ voice command is not, and it may be a while before it is.

[kyphur]

I dare you to flash the OS.nb file from Universal (which has DOC Flash Type) onto your Hermes (which has NAND Flash Type). When you create bad NAND Blocks because the nb file is not formatted for NAND Flash I don't want you coming back here complaining:eek:

It's certainly true for the Ext/Radio but I'm not sure about the OS - as long as it's an OS only update I don't understand how could it brick a phone.

You don't have to dare me - I know there are cases it could turn to pretty bad but so far yours is the first meaningful answer - thanks.
OTOH as long as the device boots up we should be able to repair it, shouldn't we?

[BlkLotus]

NOTE: IF YOU INSTALL THE ATTACHED CAB YOU MUST ALSO INSTALL ONE OF THE DIALER SKINS THAT HAS THE VIDEO CALL BUTTON OR YOUR DIALLER WILL NOT DISPLAY RIGHT. SKINS THAT WORK ARE ON THE WIKI. Kyphur is working on a CAB to enable video calling and should have it soon, so only install this is you are really impatient to get video calling but don't expect anything but a "wait for the "official" cab" reply from Kyphur on this.


I installed the attached cab file from the 2.05.255 HTC rom and the E icon now properly shows up when connected to Edge, With the HTC Gray dialer skin from the wiki the Video call button is also now present in the dialer (can't test it as I'm on Cingular in the US). Haven't seen any issues yet with installing these cabs but will let you know if I see anything.

BTW Kyphur you are the man, I've been jonseing for WM6 since I got my Hermes (Had crossbow on my Wizard for a few months now and was really missing the better outlook and other features)

[edit] Quick note, the MT_PC_Hermes_HTC_REG_070112.CAB also seems to enable smart dialing and the keyboard backlight. Also looks like just the P_Generic_UI.CAB may not be what caused any of the changes, looks like all it does is add today items, a default IE page and some favorites.

[ibanyard]

Voice mail notifications aren't cleared. I've noticed that once I've listened to all my voicemails, I get an sms message with 2 non text characters.

[richy240]

I've noticed a slight delay, between 1/2 and 1 seconds, when waking the device up from standby. That is, when I press the power button to wake up my TyTN, there is a delay between the time I press the power button and the time it actually turns on. Anyone else see this?

[spiritofseth]

Okay problems
Wifi does not shut off - we all know about that
Voice commander does not work over bluetooth when I push the button on the ehadset, this worked in the vanilla rom.
**== TCPMP and WMP dont seem to stream video from orb**
TCPmp says that windows media nine audio/video are not supported and
- WMP gets stuck when updating my library, it gets stuck on the adding media process.
- storage card disapears from WMP library.
Phone randomly gets stuck.

[cvbesq]

since installing the MT_PC_Hermes_HTC_REG_070112.CAB and P_Generic_UI.CAB my phone dialer skin is white (yuck) and I cannot figure out anyway to change it back. I tried to uninstall these two cab files but they are not in the remove programs. Any ideas?

[kyphur]

AKU 3.3 is a downgrade from WM6 :rolleyes:

should we install AKU 3.3 Update or will this be implemented in later releases?

[kyphur]

1.34.00.10

kyphur What is your Radio ROM?

[kyphur]

Which Voice Dialer are you talking about?

Microsoft Voice Command v1.6 is the product from Microsoft.

Cyberon Voice Speed Dial (usually embedded by OEM or Carrier) this version requires you to record voice tags for each contact and can only dial your phone.

Cyberon Voice Commander is the retail version from Cyberon which has speech recgonition like the M$ product and can do addition things.

Okay problems
Wifi does not shut off - we all know about that
Voice commander does not work over bluetooth when I push the button on the ehadset, this worked in the vanilla rom.

I have not experienced the other issues but then I don't stream orb...

[spiritofseth]

So anyone else having media player/orb issues?

[mixmasterollie]

Just fixed my keyboard problem if anyone's interested, it wasn't set to the correct keyboard layout in Registry.

Changed HKLM\Software\OEM\Qwerty\Layout to 20409

Soft reset and works a treat.

Cheers

[akbig]

I upgraded yesterday to xda live and i gotta tell you its freakin awesome but i cant seem to be able to create new mms settings. after i edit all the changes and hit ok, nothing seems to take effect. i need some help with this because i cant seem to get mms messages.

[baudy2]

Anybody was able to run BB Connect under XDA-Live ?
I love the ROM, but the latest BB Connect 2.1.2.52 does not work under it....

[kyphur]

Here you go...

That's OK but I'd like to backup things before I install it...;)

Anyone have any info on GoodLink and WM6?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295562

When I try to connect to the Goodlink server (corp email) with WM6, it says that my device is not supported at this time.

Do you guys know if Good Link is supported on WM6? If so, is there a special installer somewhere that is not on the Good Link website? If there is not, is there something I can do to make Good Link think it is on a WM5 OS?

Thanks for any help !!!

Does anyone have any more info on this issue?

We are experiencing some issues with WM6 and getting GoodLink on it.

One person was able to get GoogLink to work by doing a restore using a 3rd party app. But new installations of Good do not allow it to be installed because it does not recognize the handheld (OS, i'm sure).

Anyone know if there is a workaround? Registry tweak? Or just wait for a new version of Good to be released by Motorola-Good that supports WM6?

BTW, although its the same issue, were talking about WM6 on the HERMES device.

[kyphur]

I have connected to the internet using WiFi, GPRS/UMTS and ActiveSync (I actually turned of the phone radio to verify WiFi & AS).

What cab file are you using to install Cyberon Voice Dial? The operator provided Ext_Rom cabs depend on files that are no longer in the Rom. I will create a Cab file that include ALL files but that is not high on the list of fixes.

BTW, everyone see post #2 for a zip file with 4 fixes to WMXL v0.10...

I am not able to get Cyberon Voice Dial to Install.

Also so far no Internet will work. Wifi connects, and gets IP, no webpage though. Set up GPRS and if I force to connect it connects for a few seconds but still no webpage, and it also disconnects rightaway. My settings match Cingular Web page.

[princeasi]

I can't get slingbox to connect , ill get a locating, connecting, starting, then next I get an "unable to connect error try again"! im using my same configs as I did did with the wm5 cingular rom 1.34, has anyone had any success, or the same problems?

[mnicol819]

Still can't get internet connection sharing to work. Even after installing the enable HSDPA files. Anyone that has a 8525 on Cingular that has this working could you please chime in?

There a lot of scenarios with unique steps to get connected. For USB connection, here are the basics...

1. Disable PC network connections
2. Disable PC proxy settings
3. Disable USB Activsync/WMDC connections
4. Enable USB internet sharing on device
5. Connect USB cable
6. Start browsing on PC

Once connected you will see that a Microsoft Windows Mobile network connection is enabled and your phone will have assigned it an IP address. Mine has 192.168.0.102.

Attached are some screenshots.

[mjizzy]

First of all...thank you to kyphur and all others involved for your efforts on our behalf...

That said...I flased the ROM and am unable to get goodlink to work. I know that a few other people have reported the same problem. This is HUGE for me as my 8525 is my lifeline to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

[mnicol819]

Problem: Suggest words input settings in the control panel do not work. You can adjust the setting but there is no effect.

Fix: Modify registry settings found here... HKLM/System/IME/CompIME

[ionide]

The "word suggestion settings don't stick" problem was present here too.

A very stupid question:

Why you use a beta version of WM06?? one of the final versions cannot be mounted?

They aren't yet available. And we're generally impatient.

[ac604]

Yes, Goodlink is an e-mail client. My connection setting are fine, the issue is with Goodlink. The setup process fails and says that Goodlink does not support this type of device.

Yes, the problem is getting GoodLink installed.

A dirty workaround is to have backed up your apps/data using a 3rd party app before the ROM update and then restore back onto the phone after WM6 has been installed. This seems to put GoodLink back on and emails are pushed to the phone, however, this is not without errors and slow performance.

Until Good releases an updated version of GoodLink that works on WM6, we may be SOL. Even if someone found a way trick GoodLink Setup into thinking that it was being installed in a WM5 environment, I reckon there would be residual problems after it is installed.

[princeasi]

must be an embedded proxy setting that's blocking slingbox box from connecting!

[szlevi]

I am having two issues:
1. Bluetooth wont see my car
2. No text messages

1. I experienced this with my SE headset - it needed to be turn off then on and then a msg appeared that it's trying to connect... connect, auth# and voila, it's working - nevertheless TyTn never found it.

2. haven't tested yet but SMS Backup restored all my messages - thanks for the tip, Mod! :cool:

[kyphur]

IAlso, I still can not figure out how to make push and hold work with Voice Recorder - any thoughts??? (PLEASE!!!)

It's on the list but unless some others want to start chasing down some of these issues then there just needs to be patience.

You have a choice: be an early adopter or wait 2 weeks and don't have to deal with these issues.

I mean seriously, I'm a single father with custody of 2 teenage daughters managing a career as a Senior Software Developer for an Int'l Financial services Company. On top of that I'm flooded with the paperwork required to purchase a house for my family.

Now tell me, am I devoting enough time to this project which has cost me hundreds of man-hours, deprived me of sleep and put me slightly behind schedule at work.

I know exactly why we've lost so many of our best Rom Chefs in the last 6 months and it has nothing to do with Microsoft.

I've been accused of not wanting to share WM6. I've been offered money to go against my promise and share the Rom I was given under strict conditions. I turned on a dime last night and applied my scripts to a base Rom that is not as good quality as the one I was working with because So many expressed they wanted the fruits of my labor. Then Instead of keeping the better based Rom on my own device, I flashed the Vanila Based Rom so I am dealing with everything you are.

Now I ask, what more do you want from me?

A precious few have contacted me with fixes, I appreciate that.

Does it really bother you so much to see "XDA Live" on the today screen? I labeled it to honor this community we love and contribute to. It's not like I put my name there!!

What have I asked for in return? Just a little patience, that's all. I've not even posted a "Donate to my efforts" link (not a knock to other who have, I simply don't need the money that is why I suggested that you contribute to XDA and the others who came before me).

I apologize that I actually took a nap this afternoon when I returned from taking my oldest daughter to the doctor (as a single custodial parent I have to do most if not all of that kind of stuff).

I'm going to be scarce around for a few days (I need the sleep). I will be working these issues as will those who are working with me on them but don't freak out if I don't respond as quickly for a while. I think we'll have PTT, Video Call and Notes Recorder fixed within 48 hours. I won't hold-off getting these fixes to you.

Now everyone please some some respect and patience.

[Kikouyou]

I am still running vanilla

Princeasi, I am getting exactly the same issue with Slingbox. I tried 2 SW versions of the client and they reacted the same. There must be a port in the registries that is not open. I will look into that.

I could not get the Internet sharing to work with BT as it was working with OS 2.06... The PC do not see the PAN profile. Will continue to try...

Can someone post the PDAViet Memory Leak Fix cab?

Kyphur, don't get your life upside down. We have a great ROM to play for the moment! Thanks for your outstanding work for the community!

[Guy_Incognito]

One issue - went to use the phone this morning and it couldn't make a call - tried a couple of numbers and it just ended up with a few beeps and "call ended". A soft reset and all was ok again. Anyone else seen this?

Don't seem to have any issues with internet/wap (with Telstra here). Wireless works fine with my dlink router.

Everything else is lookin' good so far. Things are much speedier! Don't really care much about the lack of videophone, even though my network supports it - the costs and crap quality make it a bit of a gimmick.

[RemE]

Total Respect Kyphur! I know how it is when you've burned the candle at both ends like you have to get something out for the benefit of others. You deserve some quiet praise for a bit.

But you must realize that you've just doled out a dose of "Crack", leaving the throngs clawing for ever more.

Sleep well, and thanks...

I keep setting \Storage Card\Mail and \Storage Card\Mail\Attachements for MAPI but it keeps syncing into \Windows\Messaging

What am I missing?

Thanks.

I noticed a very serious issue which no one else has reported on.

About nine out of ten times, when I soft-reset by press the tiny button with my stylus. I get a HTC logo, I get the red version numbers at the bottom, then they go away, then the screen gets real bright for about a second, then goes back to normal brightness, (now the bad part) when the device should now show the Windows Mobile XDA Live screen, instead the device just freezes at the HTC screen.
It also is flashing a green led on the left during the freeze, almost to indicate a problem with the wireless.

So far I’ve installed no additional programs nor even activesync’d to the pc.

Maybe because im still using ipl/spl 1.01???? or htc_boot 1.07….

since your the only one reporting the issue it isnt really a massive error.. try reflashing your device with the same ROM and leaving the bootloader at 109 and see if that fixes any problems....

[Globalrebel]

(Edit . . Kyphur, please don't leave us. I just read the topic and about 12 pages of this and just thought of posting the errors i have noticed. Wether they are fixed or not, I honestly couldn't care less! I am happy to be running a faster OS, and can live with little quirks here and there. U have put soo much work into this, please don't be deterred by the people on this forum who only care about themselves and their precious little PPC! U are a vital part of this community, and to the people who actually care/know, we have GREAT respect for you. Take some time off, relax, rent some movies, kick back! U deserve a break more then anyone that has posted in this topic!!!!)
This has been brought up already but just thought i would repost just once.
Whenever sending a e-mail through exchange, it has a short 1 - 2 second pause sometimes almost 4 second pause where scrolling stops and everything else pauses. Anyone figure out what's going on?
Also, i've noticed it takes a pretty long time from the moment i press the Mail/txt/mms button on top , to the moment my e-mail opens. it is faster in almost every other aspect, but why is this happening?

[walshieau]

Guys,
Kyphur as explained in his post, has spend a massive amount of time and effort cooking and testing this/his ROM and posting his findings... How about we all stop bothering him and just make simple posts here about what error/bug you encountered and how/what you did to reproduce that bug... its that simple...

1. Blah Blah this is the bug
2. Blah Blah I did this to reproduce the bug.

And if you think you know a solution/patch to fix the solution then by any means speak up... :D

now lets all have fun with WinMO6 :D

but remember... if you dont like it... use SSPL and downgrade to WinMo5 AKU3.3...

[TaurusBullba]

Hi.

I remember from a previous message that all the carrier themes were to be put in this ROM? I had attempted to download them but the links kept pointing to clear.gif (a 1kb file)

Are these available for download somewhere on the wiki, rapidshare, or somewhere else?

No biggie really, I just like seeing the different themes :)

By the way, kyphur, I have the Cingular 8525 and I am enjoying your ROM release. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He actually hasn't released those yet. Those will be for his next (if everyone leaves him alone) release. This version is just the first release to allow us to play with it and simply report any bugs on.

[richy240]

I don't think that's entirely true. Officially, this ROM was leaked by someone else, romcooker, in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295444) thread. Then kyphur went and applied all his modifications to this ROM and released it as XDA Live 0.1, instead of waiting to release his actual ROM that was originally given to him by an unnamed source. Officially.

[jfitzell]

Hi all,

kyphur has done an awesome job and I completely understand his frustration with the number of "why isn't this here" or "how do I get rid of the XDA Live logo".

That said, the search functions of this site don't always get you the results you want and it can be very difficult to find posts even when you know what you are looking for. I know that it took me almost half an hour to find the reg key that lets you remove the XDA logo even though I'd already seen it in my earlier travels.

It'd be great if one of the sticky threads, or even better the wiki, specifically stated a summary of what is currently known about the ROM. By making it the wiki we can try and have it as up to date as possible without having to scour through literally thousands of posts.

Anyway, just my 2cents... If one of the mods has a suggestion on where it would best be placed I'm happy to get it started.

I noticed the same problem but only after installing SPB Diary 2. Without Diary it runs perfectly, I have instaled it with Diary about 10 times, with and without other pieces of software and nailed my problem down to Diary.

First I would like to say thanks soo much for working on the Press and Hold Record - it means a lot to me (I've actually been spending the past 2 and a half hours figuring out how to dump the vanilla rom, extract the files and reg and had was about I think 5 minutes from getting it to work) but yours works great - I am glad to have gone through the work though because there are a couple things I wanted to enable and now instead of being a person asking other people to do it, I can at least first try myself and maybe actually donate to the cause. Once again, I can not thank you enough for the hard work you've done for all of us! You are absolutely wonderful! (I swear I use that voice recorder more times a day then I acutally use the device as a phone so you truely saved my day!)

Chy :) :) :) :) (ME SOOO HAPPY!!!!)

i noticed this was when i enabled Settings -> Phone -> Time Zones -> Automatic change time zone and clock.
this feature worked great with aku 3.3 but crashes wm6 during boot.
anyone else try that feature with 8525, wm6 xda live rom, and att network?

I noticed it also. I have an 8525 with this ROM. Although, I did not make any changes to the standard install. It happened twice after a fresh flash with no other fixes, patches, or programs installed. So, I reflashed the phone and haven't had that problem since.

Sorry that I wasn't able to narrow down the exact cause. But perhaps it's just from a bad install. Try re-flashing and that might do the trick.

[dutty]

mate, honestly i dont mean to sound rude but try reading the 20 pages of information in this topic... it has been asked many of times and answered many of times... use PHM Registry and search for the string "XDA Live"

i also dont mean to sound rude but again: why the hell was this included in the release?!?

i hope you won't embedd that into future roms, the branded welcome screen is another uglyness aspect of this rom

Does it really bother you so much to see "XDA Live" on the today screen? I labeled it to honor this community we love and contribute to. It's not like I put my name there!!
and no i'm not against honoring this community i've been registered here for 3 years and i still think its the best and most useful community on the net, but i still dont want to see it on the today screen, everyday like 50 times.

I know exactly why we've lost so many of our best Rom Chefs in the last 6 months and it has nothing to do with Microsoft.
i also know, and surely it wasnt because of a community that demanded things and asked questions. that is natural and that's part of why you do what you do. they left because they moved on, or havent had a new device that kept them pumpimg..
besides that i don't see great value in "recooking" old roms, getting my hands on a new rom is something else..

I turned on a dime last night and applied my scripts to a base Rom that is not as good quality as the one I was working with because So many expressed they wanted the fruits of my labor.
maybe it has been asked before, but how big is the version difference in your rom vs this rom?

hehe, looks like i'm becoming the bad guy :)

[cyphol]

i saw screen shot about dailpad with video call button...How to active this function ?..pls advise

You can use the files downloaded here:

1. Install files from the MT_PC_Hermes_HTC_REG_070112.zip first
2. Install the skin from zpv_reptile_red.cab or any Hermes skin which supports video call extra button.

Happy tweaking.

[Applestar]

Ok ,spent the first night with my new WM6 girlfriend (my other girlfriend went mad, anyway..). Just a quick note to stability: Everything works fine! My 3 freezes within 24h did not show up so far..

Applications:
- Pocket Controller
-Spb Backup
-Spb Mobile Shell (I know I know, but with WM6 its seems rock solid)
-WorldMate Pro
-Tomtom 6
-Agile Messenger
-Resco Explorer
- Opera 6 r2
-eWallet 5
-BandSwitch
-Skype
-Some of Vijay Dial & SMS Tools seems to have little problems in default mode
-Pocket Mechanic

Trials:
-PI Calendar
-SpB Insight
-SK Tools
-MemMaid

Games:
-Broken Sword
-Bejeweld 2
-High Seas

All working fine!


Little drawbacks:

- MagicButton doesnt look really nice, actually its so ugly I removed it - Does someone know how to tweak the basic color MB uses to overwrite the top menu bar?

- Smart Dialing missing. Same for auto-complete at SMS and eMail recepients. anyone knows a good replace application for this? EZdial? Others?

Still looking for a registry tweak to put my onscreen keyboard in german localization. Any help appreciated.

And please: DO SEARCH this thread BEFORE you post the "How do I remove the XDA Live" again!

[pietrucci]

In this version I can't specify a dialstring (like "+CGDCONT=1,ïnternet",...") anymore when I connect to an external phone using bluetooth. Normally in the advanced settings of my connection I can specify the speed, the dialstring ect. These settings are gone.

[trion]

yes i have tried that one also, doesn't make any difference still bad sound.
Sounds like it is using bad compression or something (glitsching and poor quality)...
but what the hell, I am using WM6 :D

Try the widcomm stack, it works better on WM6 then on WM5, no more driver errors :-) and the sound quality is perfect. Well almost perfect, but a lot better then with the M$ stack.

[miguelromerom]

anyone has installed it on tytn with wm6 and runs ?¿?¿

me no

thanks for all your work

[sub69]

To those having problems (as I am) can you check in your PPC's root directory for a file called "Log.txt".

Mine says that the "Audio Decoder creation fails" so I think it's safe to say that it's a codec problem. (Definitely not a connection problem, as it successfully connects - look at the light on the front of your Slingbox while you're trying to connect, and you'll see that it comes on to indicate a connection)

Don't know what's changed in this build of WM6, but SlingPlayer works fine on my Universal with an earlier WM6 build, so there's hope.

Unfortunately I have very little time to look into this at the moment...

[cybertron]

Try the widcomm stack, it works better on WM6 then on WM5, no more driver errors :-) and the sound quality is perfect. Well almost perfect, but a lot better then with the M$ stack.


How do I update to widcomm stack? is it hard to get back to "the normal" stack if needed?

[tsc]

yes i have tried that one also, doesn't make any difference still bad sound.

Try this:

Value name=BitPool; Value data=48 (Decimal)
Value name=MaxSupportedBitPool; Value data=48 (Decimal)
Value name=UseJointStereo; Value data=0
After install Sleuths A2DPfix - and yeah, sound is great!

[jcute]

At the dialpad,No contact!! There are only 'Menu' and Hide Keypad. The question is how to find a contact when i want to make a call to someone. Can i change this ?

The stack can be found here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1072773&postcount=72

there is no way to uninstall it, but if you remove the link from the startup folder it doesn't bother you anymore, but when turned of you can still use the M$ stack.

Internet Connection Sharing update.

Right I have now found what the problem is with this internet connection sharing and this may help the small minority of other users that are experiencing the same issues.

For me all i had to do was DISABLE bluetooth completely. Once this was done the Internet Connection Sharing started to work. I have no idea why this is interfearing with the Internet side of things but for me this has worked. I can put up with turning bluetooth on and off. If this can be fixed then that would be great but if not then no biggy as long as i now know.

If bluetooth is enabled when connecting to the internet via USB then the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter will fail to get a proper IP, it will only get 169.254.x.x address.

Hope this helps, and to all you gurus out there any idea why this would happen ?

thanks for all the hardwork.

[ibanyard]

I get a problem where if I have a voicemail waiting, I dont get the usual notification, I get a text with _@ as the sender number. Any ideas?

Likewise - I've already mentioned this but I think it got lost in all the noise... Also get a another one for clearing the alert - neither seems to be properly processed, I get the initial notification, but the text stays in the inbox, then if I clear the voicemessages, I get another message, but the notification doesnt clear...

[MrDSL]

I'm a bit confused on what topic to reply in and I have read both topics..

I have a Cingular 8525 and all seems to work fine except I now have a big U icon but I'm not sure what that means since I never had it before..

Also I have noticed that when I charge my phone via USB with activsynch on or off I notice the screen constantly turns back on. I charged it last night and when I woke up the screen is turned on which is not good. Before it would stay off till I clicked the power key.

Any ideas?

[jompao]

I didn't get the initial notification, but like you i've also got another text when the voicemail has been listened to - ?@ is shown as the sender.

This rom is already awesome, would be fantastic if we could work this out.

Guys,
Kyphur as explained in his post, has spend a massive amount of time and effort cooking and testing this/his ROM


I think most of these problems are due to the beta issue of the base of this ROM. If we get his real ROM when the leaker approves, this hopefully will be better.

Nice one I am guessing this is because the bluetooth locks the dhcp server for its own use

[flyboy009]

Another thing,

can anyone confirm whether this ROM works with Missingsync for Mac? does'nt seem to want to work...

I know that there were problems with bluetooth connections with AKU 3.3 and I'm sure WM6 is in the same category because of the new PAN bt profile it uses which the current version of MAC OS X doesn't support. You can read more about it in the following thread.

guys just take it easy alot of people are going to have issues with getting some applications working just remmber this is WINDOWS MOBILE 2006 - and not all applications yet work on thsi os -
i had same issue when i bought the xda exec it was running WM5 and not all apps worked on that but after few months they most of the good ones where working with patches from the software vendors-

also CHECK THE extROM that you are using if that had bugs or issues before most likley they will still be there.

WHAT might help is when making the post in the subject type in XDA LIVE issue if its something releated to that or APPLICATION PROBLEM if its releated to an app.

I will try to help as many people as i can as im sure all of the other guys on here will as well,

peeps just take it easy all the best to all.

[koolhand79]

has anyone else noticed the battery draining. before this ROM the battery life was never very good, but since upgrading to the Vanilla now the v.10 it has gotten even worse. at work i get a strong 3G signal and after about 3 hours i am down to 50 percent. and thats with me not really using the phone. just checking to see if this is a problem overall with this ROM or if i shoud just buy new battery.

[oxman]

The completion seems broken on this rom.
Could you confirm that ?

I've try to add word with the dictionary editor, into the tmp and the main.
I've enable completion after one character.

But I still see no completion when I write a sms.

Tomtom 6 hanging. Has anyone else noticed this?

I installed tomtom 6.1 which did not go well, very buggy app and froze just going through the menus, with the new 6.03 version it is a lot better, occaisonally still freezes but a lot better than the last version. Suggest giving that version a go. Also ensure you install the app onto the main memory.

[cuccureddu]

First of all, many, many thanks to Kyphur and everyone behind this ongoing effort.

I've read every single post on both the threads for WMXL and there's one issue I'm not 100% clear on:

From reading the posts, it seems to me that writing to Ext Rom can only be enabled if you're Super CID, otherwise, unlocking will only give you read access to whatever was in Ext Rom before flashing.

A couple of people who are Super CID have said they can write to Ext ROM, but at this point, I would like to confirm this in a wider setting. I am waiting to upgrade until I am sure of this (otherwise I will need to stuff the Ext ROM full of files beforehand)

Is there anyone out there who is using this ROM and is super CID and has NOT been able to write to Ext_ROM? (after unlocking it, of course)

Thanks

I believe tomtom freezes looking for the GPS receiver. When the GPS receiver is connected it never freezes.

Also when pressing the windows key unfreezes it.

But I'm using the widcomm stack and it doesn't freeze but jumps to search screen.

So the freezing is just a BT problem.

[mikeycollins13]

TT6 works, with minor hangs during launch, then fine.
-None of the HSDPA Fixes seem to be working. (Personally it is one these things you have but never use. If I had a choice I'd terminate 3G completely and double my battery life.)

[eagle 1]

I find the issues I have had with this rom are very minor compared to the advantages it offers..

1) except I can no longer use sling player mobile..Man I didn't realize how much I would miss slingplayer..
- As somone has already pointed out it is a audio decoder issue or something similar according to my log file

2) i was hoping this would fix bluetooth and MS voice command issues..Oh well, I did install the Widcomm stack and it works very well and also allows MS VC to work.

3) Sometimes my device will not wake up and I have to soft reset. Probably some third party app. I hard reset and without any apps installed or other reg fixes and it still had the issue; so maybe it is something with porblem 4

4) since upgrading to WM6, Files show as missing on Sdcard once in a while. Others had this issue with WM5 aku3.x So I guess its not new (i tried the reg fix, doesn't seem to matter)

So all in all its not that bad...Can't wait for the Non-beta or RTM version to be leaked...Great job to Kuyphur and really to whoever leaked this version.

Not in your answerer scope (but you might wait forever for someone to chime in that they have NOT been able to write with SuperCID) but I can tell you that SuperCID enables write capabilities to the ExtROM on my TyTN which is running WM6.

I think it's been metioned before earlier in this thread, but I'm also experiancing very slow video play back, very choppy as well. Have just tried WMP as TCPMP doesn't play WMV files.

Not sure what to start tinkering with to fix this though? Doubt it would be a registry setting? Oh, and it was fine before in the 1.35 South African ROM.

It is the one that requires you to sync your messenger contacts

[jeRrRKKKK]

after using this rom for a day, honestly there isn't much difference between this version and the vanilla verson, the main difference is the ms office icons are restored; i personally found the huge XDA LIVE very irritating(i've removed it since) and that the vjlitmus thingy should be removed as i couldn't find a way to deactivate it once it's turned on and prolong periods of turning your flash on will kill the bulb inside...

other then that, there are additions that are nice, sms backup being 1 of them... but anything else i can install by myself...

but still, i'm very sure that people have gone thru hours to get this thing up and running... surely it's not as easy as just installing a few stuff then zipping it up... the stages involved - requirements gathering, requirements analysis, software development, software integration, testing and finally user acceptance tests...

i feel that while people have the right to say that they don't appreciate your efforts becos they only see the surface level of things, they do not know what the developer has went through to give them this little bit...

still, please do show alittle bit of respect and do not post negative stuff about this rom, while whatever that has been done might be little towards you, it's not as easy as it seems...

the worst that can happen would be for the mods to give up on cooking this rom as they feel that they are not appreciated!!! do bear in mind that this is a little step towards a great journey... everything presented has been positive and not negative... unless it's a step in the wrong direction, we should alert... else please be positive about it and hope that with every new release, it'll come nearer to perfection!

[jeRrRKKKK]

forgot to add... what i appreciate most is that somebody has went thru all the effort to add build-in applications that i would have had to spend time installing myself... if you have like 50+ applications to install with every new rom release you'll understand the difference between installing 40 and installing 50 apps.

i wouldn't say that this is a great release but i see this as a good release on the way to becoming great...

please do show some respect and grattitude... even if you prefer the vanilla rom, go ahead and use the vanilla rom... but do NOT post negative stuff about things that people are giving you for FREE...

give you free already you still complain... what else do you want?
for us to pay you to use free stuff?

[dutty]

after using this rom for a day, honestly there isn't much difference between this version and the vanilla verson, the main difference is the ms office icons are restored; i personally found the huge XDA LIVE very irritating(i've removed it since) and that the vjlitmus thingy should be removed as i couldn't find a way to deactivate it once it's turned on and prolong periods of turning your flash on will kill the bulb inside...

other then that, there are additions that are nice, sms backup being 1 of them... but anything else i can install by myself...

i got exactly the same opinion about it.


i feel that while people have the right to say that they don't appreciate your efforts becos they only see the surface level of things, they do not know what the developer has went through to give them this little bit...

i never said i don't appreciate his "effort", besides that, how much of an effort is it to edit the registry hive, which is an ascii file, and add the xda-live string.. thats not really an effort.. i respect his work in general and think its good if people do stuff like that for free in their own time

i doubt that somebody would give up his work as soon as somebody comes up with a little criticism (especially about a one string registry hack).. if that happens he intended to stop working on it much earlier...


please do show some respect and grattitude... even if you prefer the vanilla rom, go ahead and use the vanilla rom... but do NOT post negative stuff about things that people are giving you for FREE...

jeez... it's called criticism.. and it was about a string and a png file.. come on guys... i already said that i respect his work and his devoted time, i guess everybody feels that who downloads one of the wm6 roms..

i used to develop free software and i never saw something bad in criticism you should be man enough to deal with it if you are able to use javascripts to build a rom

[ChaoticDruid]

I think it's been metioned before earlier in this thread, but I'm also experiancing very slow video play back, very choppy as well. Have just tried WMP as TCPMP doesn't play WMV files.

Not sure what to start tinkering with to fix this though? Doubt it would be a registry setting? Oh, and it was fine before in the 1.35 South African ROM.

Hi, I don't have any .wmv's on here, but my recorded mp4's play fine...have you tried any of them?

Also media streams seem to be as they were before the update.

Hey people, just to confirm the video call cabs that were posted work fine on my TyTN. Hopefully there will be a skin for the dialer thats ties with the standard theme on XDA Live?!

[kyphur]

"XDA Live" was not the only registry edit made to the Hive file.

It is easily reversed if it bugs you that much, PHM RegEdit has a Search Feature, find it.

When I decided to put it there, I knew that it would not interfer with your today plug-Ins, if they go down far enough it simply disappears automagically. If I had used a more subtle background image it wouldn't do the same.

The OS determines the size of the text when using that method.

A lot more effort went into this than many seem to realize. To be honest I miss having the same Rom on my phone for more that 4 hours. I've learned this process without harrassing everyone who has ever done it before. I read threads and privately asked a few respected members simple questions (then waited patiently for their response filling that time with my continued search for the answer anyway - sometime they answered before I found the solution, sometimes not).

Did I miss someone complaining about "XDA Live" at the top of the Windows Splash Screen?

Honestly, if you don't like my work then use something else, I'm not offended.

Now can we get back to issues at hand, I would love to release v0.20 by Monday but it needs to be ready for final testing By bedtime Friday (and I will need some testers).

[kyphur]

I have a skin, hope to have a patched Cab file ready for testing tonight. You game?

Google maps occassionally complains about not having a data connection even while using wifi on my home network, never used to do this before. Clicking OK, stops any search. Can anyone else confirm this (happenes in Google maps 1.00 and 1.01)

Google maps occassionally complains about not having a data connection even while using wifi on my home network, never used to do this before. Clicking OK, stops any search. Can anyone else confirm this (happenes in Google maps 1.00 and 1.01)

I have Google maps installed also. I have had the same thing happen several times. I'm using it via wifi. I get the following error:

This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strength.

(Error: wininetReadError[6])

If I just retry to"find location..." a couple more times, that seems to do the trick.

I searched on Google for that error and someone else posted that they had the same issue on their Qtek 9100 running WM6. So, it appears it's an issue with the OS itself. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of a solution.

What kind of connection are you using? Also what radio are you using? I've got radio 1.35.

Great ROM. I installed Navizon (which was working great on wm5), but now on WM6 it cannot find wifi automatically. When I'm traveling with a BT GPS it can only find cell towers and no wi-fi access points. Other than that the rest is smoth! ... btw, I can connect to wifi network without problem. Idea?

Ok.. I'm having a problem with downloading my email.. I have comcast and it's running through POP3. It works.. but it takes a good 10 minutes to connect and download my messages.. (I'm not using push email right now, just connecting and downloading). once it downloads, I can view everything fine.. internet explorer works great, as well as the wifi. just takes FOREVER for my email to download.. it will say "logging on" for a long time in the status bar..

btw, Windows Live is working great even as a beta.

Kyphur, did you tweak any of the HKLM\System\StorageManager keys at all to improve cache performance? Do some of the same WM5 tweaks apply?

Same for me.

[chymmylt]

Just a quick thought, I'm sure it won't cut down on all the posts here but is it worth a shot to create a wiki page where people can list bugs, feature requests and solutions - I guess it would require people to read the wiki before the thread but maybe it would be helpful to have a place to go for people to quickly check if somebody else has already listed their issue instead of 90 people stating the same thing? If you think it's a good idea, I'd be happy to help set it up - don't want to step on toes though - maybe this is a better venue for such things - it's just one of my momentary thoughts.

[fun_key]

I do not have this issue. spb pocket plus works fine on my device, and I am using the soft-reset quite often.

Hi, In refrence to the questions about internet calling, I can't say for sure, as I haven't and wont not install the viop fix.
But I imagine you'll have to set up a sip number acct from like here
http://www.sipnumber.com/

Gizmo voip and others use the same method.

It shouldn't matter by carrier, though Im not sure abour access point useage, but as long as you have a data connection it will work (providing it actually works in the os)
I could be completely wrong too.

[Globalrebel]

just reposting becuase of all the bullSH*T threads.

Problem : When in E-mail and sending a message through exchange, it locks up for about 4 seconds and then continues on. Not a big problem, but does get irritable at times.

Problem : Sometimes bottom buttons (call, end call, ok, windows, and other 2) seem to stop working until i go into Settings->personal->buttons. Then close out and buttons work again.

Problem : Load up time for Outlook e-mail IS PRETTY LONG compared to my 8125. I press the top E-mail button on phone and after 3 seconds e-mail appears. On 8125, takes about 1.5-2 seconds. (once again, not big deal just wondering if it can be fixed.)

Problem : Memory leak issue still apparent. I have following programs installed
WisBar Advanced 2
"" desktop
Iguidance
Bandswitch
HTweakC
Memmaid
Still goes from 24 mb after soft reaset to around 17 mb after about 6 hours.

Problem : When playing Mp4 files through WMP over bluetooth, for some odd reason, it goes straight to built in speaker. ONLY WITH MP4 files? Any help?

Fixes

Problem Fixed : AD2P Has fixed its skipping with Sleuths hack and the registry value editing found in these thread around pages 25 - 33!! (still skips SLIGHTLY every 40 second or so. VERY SLIGHTLY!!)

Problem Fixed : Re-appearing "Help windows get better" notification. FIX is to not soft reset, but actually power off by holding down power button and clicking YES.

Will add more later. Off to work

[szlevi]

Nope, do we want ClearVue or Adobe?

Would be nice to have something that doesn't leave such a huge footprint nearly 8 Megs!


How about Foxit? Worked fine here, both on desktop (XP/Vista) and phone (WM5), ~1MB total.

Please please please compile a complete but streamlined XDALive update. Even the flashlight tool was too much. Create a suplimental cab with your bells and whistles (ie XDALive plus) We can download what we want and install it. If you have the skill/balls to flash your firmware then you certainly have the skill to download and install an app. We need stability and device issues worked out eg: PTT, HSDPA, WIFInit, etc...(which have been worked out) Let the gods concentrate on getting what microsoft and (partially) HTC intend to be included in a real WM6 release. (voice dial, ICS, windows live, HTML w/ exchange 2003 sp2 hack, etc...)

Lastly, XDALive didnt change my ext_rom but why didnt my 8525, upon flashing, run any of the cabs noted in the config.txt file. I have security programs that need to run if a thief/person tries to hard reset my phone. Thanks

[crazyut]

Without getting flamed too much, should I post the applications I was able to successfully install/run on the 8525 in this forum or the other one?

I think I'd report just "success" reports in either the other XDA Live thread or perhaps start a new one. This one was supposed to be just for posting issues (as the title would suggest).

It's already strayed from that quite a bit, unfortunately.

I think we need some mod cleanup. :D

Uhuh, and also people, please be aware not all software may be compatible with WM6, we're not interested in those issues at present.

Right now, we should be concentrating on testing and fixing functions and applications that are in this core base build. Once thats done, lets widen out to 3rd party apps.

[kkiran]

Everything seems to be working fine.

Including Wifi..able to switch on and OFF (some people have issues with this).

Push email also working fine, however, I got this funny message.

"Help Make Windows Mobile better. We invite you to participate in the Customer Experience Improvemnet Program" hmmm

The ok/x button does not close application (even after configuring HTWeakC), anyone else have this problem.

Still testing....

p.s. Thanks to everyone for the hardwork put into this release!

Why dont' you use pbar.exe instead?It works great!Wifi behaves weird,it sleeps as soon as the device screen light is off.

I recommend Shozu 3.0,great app for your mobile!!

Voice Command US 1.6 works perfectly fine,infact it understands our natural language much better now....

Installed TomTom6 and all is working ok.

Bluetooth connection and handsfree is working wonders.

Anybody got any good ideas for good voice dialing?

[klasikahl]

What do I need to do to get the proper modem settings so that I can connect to the internet using 3G/HSDPA on my 8525? I've tried using the HSDPA modem settings cab from the cing 2.06 extrom with no success.

Voice Dial:

Install cab, create a link for \windows\sddialer.exe to Start Menu\Programs, assign to a button and you will be able to use the Cyberon Voicedialer again.

[telarium]

First, I'd like to give my thanks to the authors and developers of this -- I really do appreciate it.

Everything seems to be working nicely - aside from a few quirks with wi-fi, as discussed previously.

I'm also getting something strange on my 8525 with Cingular, which might be carrier specific....

Whenever I stream media - Orb, for example - it will stream nicely for a short while - then I'll lose my "3G" icon and get a large "U" and also a small "E" next to the reception bars. I'll also lose the stream. Thus, I'm confused - perhaps it dropped to UMTS from HSDPA -- but the small E would suggest EDGE, and I have confirmed that I do in fact get EDGE speeds with the "U" there. A bug perhaps?

As an aside, when moving in a car, streaming media seems to be problematic in general. It seems to lose the connection during, what I would assume, is a hand-off. Is this a problem inherent to HSDPA, coverage issues, or something else? Do people see this on EVDO with, say, Sprint's 6700?

[klasikahl]

I copied mine from my carrier's website and all tested and worked ok.

I have tested my speed and have got 1.8 mgb/s speed.

used bandwidthtester for this!!

I'm having a lot of trouble finding this CAB.

Additionally, I can't get cleartype to stick in landscape mode, even though i'm using TwkCL in my startup folder to try to make the settings automatic.

[Seraphic]

I'm getting an issue (like a few others) where when you send and receive, theres a really long delay when it 'checks headers' - up to a few minutes in my case for one of my email accounts. I never got this issue with my previous non wm6 roms.

[sambartle]

Internet Connection Sharing update.

Right I have now found what the problem is with this internet connection sharing and this may help the small minority of other users that are experiencing the same issues.

For me all i had to do was DISABLE bluetooth completely. Once this was done the Internet Connection Sharing started to work. I have no idea why this is interfearing with the Internet side of things but for me this has worked. I can put up with turning bluetooth on and off. If this can be fixed then that would be great but if not then no biggy as long as i now know.

If bluetooth is enabled when connecting to the internet via USB then the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter will fail to get a proper IP, it will only get 169.254.x.x address.

Hope this helps, and to all you gurus out there any idea why this would happen ?

thanks for all the hardwork.


Were you using something bluetooth that uses a serial port? They always caused problems with both the AKU2 and 3 versions of the internet-usb aplications, if you picked the wrong port by accident (COM8 was always problematic for example)

If so using another port may save you having to turn it off fully as it works ok for me with BT on on my M3100 (Orange UK then upgraded to the WMXL f/w)

[sambartle]

The XDA Live is fine (and hardly a major issue even if you do want to remove it.. it took me about 30 seconds.) - but lets not get into that too much..

as for the light... to turn it off just hit the icon again and its a toggle so it turns it off if its on, and on if its off.

Its an LED and so it has a massivly long life.. it will outlast the phone even if you leave it on 24/7 forever ;)

[sambartle]

Just upgraded to this ROM, the first bug I've come across is that I can't access Contacts list. does anyone else have this problem? if so how did you resolve it?

This is gonna sound silly.. but do you mean you cant actually access the contacts application at all or that the list is missing in it?

If you mean the list is missing in it after flashing this happens as the phone is wiped during the flash so you have to restore a backup of the contacts (or resync the phone) to get them back. (apologies if this isnt the issue - but just in case this is your first flash i thought it was worth mentioning)

Motorola-Good released version 4.9.3 today. (which according to an email from a Good rep, is supposed to support WM6)

I downloaded it but am still having trouble getting it to install on WM6. I'm still getting the "Good Messaging is not supported for this type of handheld." error. I'm thinking it may be a combination of WM6 and also our GoodServer may not be up to 4.9.3 yet so it doesn't know what to do when a 4.9.3 client connects to it.

I'm posting the link to Good 4.9.3 in case anyone would like to see if they can figure it out.

Hi all.
I am having a problem with turning the phone off. If I go to the comm manager to turn it off,or if I put it into flight mode,the phone appears to continue searching for a network while off!Instead of showing the antenna icon with an x next to it, it shows the icon with the scrolling dots after it (as if looking for the network).
Anyone else had this? I have reflashed and hard reset.....ugh....twice with no change.
Thanks.............Later

[doul39]

How is that you have U(MTS) and E(DGE) instead of 3G and G(PRS) like I have with this XDA Live for icons? :eek:

That is just what showed up after I did the upgrade...perhaps it's because I live in an area where there is no 3G?

No I did not try that...haven't done much except flashing the main ROM on HTC devices yet (well and the Radio ROM)...I'll have to research some more and figure how to do what you are saying, unless of course you'd like to give me a crash course. PM me if so.

Thank you Taurus!

Well, I guess I should also mention that the error comes up during the "online" setup of GoodLink...which may point to an issue with our GoodServers not recognizing the WM6 HERMES as a supported device.

No need to flame someone's hard work. If you don't like it, use the "vanilla" WM6 ROM or make your own ROM.

EDIT: BTW, if you are complaining about the XDA Live showing up on the Today screen, let me be the first to tell you, you are a moron. Took me about 5 seconds to open up the registry editor included in this ROM and find the words "XDA" and delete it from the Today key in the registry. If you are complaining about the loading Splash Screen page with XDA Live, well then, my original post above should suffice.

Hi, I see you're on at&t, UMTS is 3G (im gonna be so flamed if Im wrong, but Im like 99% sure) What Im wondering is if you had the "U" before adding any carrier .cab's to the base xda live? or if you even did add any. Maybe others can say if the did also.

Thing is earlier I looked at my \windows folder with resco pic viewer, and there is no "U" in there, there is an "E" and a "3G" and kinda surprised me an "Ev" for evdo set, also the 3G set didn't have the small "3G" for next to the signal bars like the "G" does.

I dunno if the U could be located elsewhere, but that's where WM5 had it, just curious as to how people are havin the U show, since it doesn't appear to be there on the base xda live rom, I would imagine it would show "3G".

Yup guess I'll need to make my own one then, the Wizard ROM is perfect that would be my target. Even the vanilla hermes rom has junk on the splash screen.

I'm not against people branding their own ROMs its pretty cool, but requiring us to reg edit every time we hard reset to get rid of some useless stuff is annoying. Also it appeared to me he didn't even ask what we'd like, I'd like MSN Live on there even if it is still beta, the Wizard WM6 ROM has it, and I'd like the version of Active Sync remote display from the newer Windows Mobile Developer Power toys.

To Kyphur:

Hardware: Imate jasjam
Carrier: Telstra Aust
ROM vers: 3.22.110.1 (suprise suprise lol)
Radio vers: 1.16.00.00

Only issues:

- SMS receiving has been "strange". Out of 4 sent to me that i know of following the Rom going in, one never arrived, one turned up at about mindight although it was sent many hours before. HOWEVER - this may be a network issue or similar. But thought i'd "throw it out there" in case others had similar issues. SMS sending works 100%.

- 3G icon instead of previous U icon. Well versed already. Frankly... dont understand the difference between the 3G/U icon... all i know is that it used to be a U and now it says 3G lol. With HSPDA back up and running, data access just as quick. The icon is merely cosmetic?

And not an issue with the ROM... but thought you may enjoy a laugh at my expense.... work PC's (where i sync my PDA 99.99% of the time) has Activesync 4.2 installed and It dont seem keen to update either. Woops!!

Hope can be of some assistance in the ongoing development. But for a 0.1 version number, VERY impressive. Might as well throw that 1 on the other side of the decimal place and call it a day lol.

Is there anyway to get rid of the roaming triangle icon at the top of the screen. I am on the Cingular/AT&T network and the only time it hasn't showed up is if I use one of the Cingular ROMs. With all the HTC ROM's and The XDA Live Rom I have the roaming icon.

Also, I still haven't figured out how to get the html formatted email messages working in pocket outlook. Any help would be appreciated.

[walshieau]

Criticism of someone who devotes time and money to us for no specific reward?? Very ungrateful, poor form and an explanation to your "problem" has been provided 10 times already. Ive never editied a registry in my life and it took me all of 5 seconds.

To Kyphur:

Hardware: Imate jasjam
Carrier: Telstra Aust
ROM vers: 3.22.110.1 (suprise suprise lol)
Radio vers: 1.16.00.00

Only issues:

- SMS receiving has been "strange". Out of 4 sent to me that i know of following the Rom going in, one never arrived, one turned up at about mindight although it was sent many hours before. HOWEVER - this may be a network issue or similar. But thought i'd "throw it out there" in case others had similar issues. SMS sending works 100%.

- 3G icon instead of previous U icon. Well versed already. Frankly... dont understand the difference between the 3G/U icon... all i know is that it used to be a U and now it says 3G lol. With HSPDA back up and running, data access just as quick. The icon is merely cosmetic?

Your activesync issue is because you need to download activesync 4.5 from M$...

Your SMS issues are strange... are you using a NextG sim? or just a plain Telstra SIM??

With regards to your 3G icon im doing some testing for Vodafone and Telstra NextG icons for Australian Use.... ill keep you updated on the progress...

Thanks, and yeah the icon is purely cosmetic, you could go in and modify it to be any letter or symbol.

I do agree with you on the rom, there is a very good chance I won't ever change it out on mine, I haven't ran into any real usability issues except twice today I have ran out of memory, gotta find a better task manager or a free memory utility..I dunno.

Im on cingular/at&t also, I haven't ever had the roaming icon with htc roms, its also a part of the icons in the windows directory, you could make it not visible..but I haven't a clue why its showin.possibly sim related??

Anyhow to your html email question, who or what is your email provider? There are exchange 2k3 problems I guess, but gmail for me is working, along with most peoples pop accounts Im pretty sure.

Hi,
Upgraded on first day and think its great (well done, I am very grateful, goes like a rocket), had a few issues when first setting up but they seemed to go away.
Ongoing problems I do have are minor and they are sometimes when I do a soft reset using SPB mobile shell the phone gets to the first splash screen and stops. Have to do a soft re set with the pen and all is OK. The other is when I initiate or finish a call I hear a crackling splat through the earpiece or speaker. Had not noticed this on my old rom.

Your activesync issue is because you need to download activesync 4.5 from M$...


Hahaha, yeah i know i need AS4.5 and will install it at home, it's just that at work... the IT gurus like to test stuff for months before deploying it to 500 or so PC's. Prob should have checked AS vers before upgrading the ROM. Nothing beats learning the hard way though!!


Your SMS issues are strange... are you using a NextG sim? or just a plain Telstra SIM??


Very strange, which is why i think may have just been a temp network issue. Got home and asked my housemate to send me an SMS and it came through without delay. FYI i run a NextG sim.

Looks like im behind on the times with the Radio ROM but will need to get a PC setup with AS4.5 before i tinker any further lol.


With regards to your 3G icon im doing some testing for Vodafone and Telstra NextG icons for Australian Use.... ill keep you updated on the progress...

Cool - look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter!

Thanks for the response - appreciate your time.

Hi guys!

I upgraded my TyTN last night, and must say that this release is just awsome!!

One question... I am jusing Pylon Anywhere to syncronize with my ASP.
When I try to install this the installation is just hanging in the end.
If I softreset my phone, it boot but it just hangs when the "desktop" shows up.
I had to hardreset my phone to be able to use it again. Anyone??

[JPHCCFC]

I have three issues so far with this rom though i must say it is great!!!

1) View HTML in Outlook doesnt work - I am on Exchange server 2003 though i dont think that is the problem as exchange just forwards the mail doesnt alter the content!

2) Wireless doesnot turn off from the bubble (been raised before i know!)

and more importantly!!!

3) XDA Hermes forum is squeezing too much in explorer - has anyone else discovered this???

Forgot to ask - has anyone got the Tmoblie home page address as i have managed to delete it!!

Thanks for everyones hard work!

I installed WM6 a couple of days a go.

I lost my contacts twice since then!! (I cannot afford that in my business).
I had some data on the SD card which also seems to be lost!!

As someone said above, PIE's single column view doesnt use the full width of the screen even in portrait mode. Don't know if thats something to do with this release?

Hi,

You need Exchange Server 2007 for have your mails rendered as html.

I've installed XDA Live yesterday and it works great. There's just one thing that is bothering me. I used to have the task manager assigned to the left soft key, just below the display. This worked fine with the out of the box ROM (T-Mobile MDA Vario II, Dutch), but I can't find the task manager in the list of applications I can assign with the new ROM. Anyone else noticed this?

[JPHCCFC]

I was suprised at that because the mail still contains the HTML to be displayed! When i spoke to my exchange server administrator as well he said that all the exchange server does is forward the format it received the email the rendering was done at a client level. Is this feature documented as an exchange server 2007 feature.

[princeasi]

As someone said above, PIE's single column view doesnt use the full width of the screen even in portrait mode. Don't know if thats something to do with this release?

I've installed the Orange MMS client but it wont go as far as delivering messages in or out. It tries! It says downloading MMS from X or sending MMS to X but it times out after a minute or so...

I had the same issue.
Installing the cab having something with mms in the name (its quite small) from tthe previous official htc test rom's extended rom solved the issue

Guys

For all the people who prefer to use the old Pocket Msn like I do,

-Install the Pocket MSN
-Disable the Today item
-Reset your device
-Extract the attached zip file and copy the files to your Windows
-Reset the device then enable MSN on Today screen

Enjoy it

Why don't you sync your device to a server? www.mail2web.com offers free push and contact/calender/tasks syncing. Since my pc's motherboard is fried I haven't synced my device to my PC (been about 4 months now), just hard reset, add the server on my device and it reloads all my contacts.

[Applestar]

Cannot report a single issue with WM6 :) Everything works perfect.

I have installed 35 apps so far, all work. I had one single freeze yesterday.

But I got the impression it has to do with random lock-ups reading form the storage card. So I made sure, all silently running apps are in RAM: SpB Backup, some today items etc. And the mail attachement go in RAM as well. Will report on further freezes.

[pinkopalino]

Thanks - I realised that the port numbers I got from another thread were wrong in the mms settings! All working now.
Oh, THAT I had ruled out also for you, because it was the first thing I checked and even after setting connection and server up for noumerous times it always displayd the behavieour you described. So maybe my solution will help anybody on german eplus if they experience the same problem.
Cheers

yes it is. But your exchange administrator is not entirely correct, nor has he wrong,
The html mails are indeed forwarded *unchanged* but, as I have understood, with an added "code" which tells Outlook mobile that it should not use html mails. Not sure why ms have done it like this but they DO want us to buy Exhcange 2007.
If you wanna use html mails, just use imap (or pop3?)

[MrDSL]

Ok getting back to topic. Everything seems to be working fine but I just have a few issues..


1.) When my phone is connected to USB to charge it will constantly turn my screen back on for no reason. This is not good because it leaves my screen on all the time. Just to clarify this is when I press the power button to shut the screen off. So basicly I have to turn the phone completely off when I want to charge it. Never did this before with any ROM..

2.) Whenever I do anything with HTweakC 2.1 I have a 98% chance that when I reset the device will hang at the beginning HTC boot screen and it never makes it to the windows mobile start screen. I basiclly have to keep resetting it till it boots. This ONLY happens when I make a change in HTweakC and most of the time the changes don't stick anyway.

3.) I installed the wifi cab init fix and maybe I'm confused on what this does but ever since I installed it whenever I reboot my device wifi comes up as unavailable. So I assume this cab is to turn wifi on on boot up which is fine but when you go into the comm manager it shows it as off.

[hdbueller]

Anyone ???

Hi all.
I am having a problem with turning the phone off. If I go to the comm manager to turn it off,or if I put it into flight mode,the phone appears to continue searching for a network while off!Instead of showing the antenna icon with an x next to it, it shows the icon with the scrolling dots after it (as if looking for the network).
Anyone else had this? I have reflashed and hard reset.....ugh....twice with no change.
Thanks.............Later

Perhaps we can make a more detailled problemlist? We all drop our problems but there's no overview anymore...

WisBar Advanced 2

Iguidance
Bandswitch
HTweakC
Memmaid
Still goes from 24 mb after soft reaset to around 17 mb after about 6 hours.



Your memory leak is associated with WisBar Advanced 2, he released a beta 2.8.0.3 but hermes users still have a few problems with it. Check out the beta forum at lakeridge. 2.8.0.2 has a smaller memory foot print but has the leak as well. I was seeing about a meg an hour leak until I removed wisbar.

patches the coredll.dll from OS Version 5.2.318 to 5.1.195. In combination with BBC Version 2.1.2.31 this will result in a pseudo random os version string that is allowed to connect to the blackberry network.

Direct Hex Editing of the .nb (or .nbh) file is very dangerous for Hermes. The issue is with the NAND Flash type. If we send a bad image to our phones we brick them even though we don't touch bootloader (Man I miss that about Wizard).

If there is someone here comfortable with hex editing the Coredll.dll to change the version number then we can replace the original coredll.dll in the Rom and in theory BB Connect would work. This might fix install issues with other programs also.

BTW, making a change like that would be one of the things that would allow me to release with my original base Rom (which seems more stable to me).

So, who's a master HexEditor????

Man,

I don't know what I've done for you to think that I don't want input. I'm trying to be as responsive as I can be.

For the time being, WLM, MSN, and Voice Dialers are all going to be "Install your choice". I will do my best to gather up the different options and make them available.

If you'd like to see CE Remote Display replaced with a newer version, fine suggest it, maybe even post the .cab file to save me the trouble of hunting it down. I'll look into it. I'm only one person I can't be everywhere.

As to the XDA Live text on the today screen, I'm amazed that nobody is offered alternatives. Geez, why not contribute a little to this Rom, make a Logo and put it out here for others to vote on!

I think we need to have a little fun on the side, get your Today Theme creations skills together and let's see some XDA Live Today Themes! Hey I'll even entertain a new Windows Splash Screen! Don't cry that you don't like what I did, grow some balls and put your ideas out for the community to discuss. (Not aimed at any single user here)....

I'm not against people branding their own ROMs its pretty cool, but requiring us to reg edit every time we hard reset to get rid of some useless stuff is annoying. Also it appeared to me he didn't even ask what we'd like, I'd like MSN Live on there even if it is still beta, the Wizard WM6 ROM has it, and I'd like the version of Active Sync remote display from the newer Windows Mobile Developer Power toys.

[LinoX]

BTW, making a change like that would be one of the things that would allow me to release with my original base Rom (which seems more stable to me).

Why direct edit NB/NBH, kypur?
you could simply extract the file from the rom, hex-edit it (assuming there's no digital signatures) and addfile it after..

Hey I'll even entertain a new Windows Splash Screen!
I'm actually creating a windows boot screen (the secondary splash) taking the image from Vista's boot screen
(everyone knows WM6 is basically a WM5 with vista's glossy icons.. so.. why don't we take vista's boot screen and make it the base for WM6 one?)

[kyphur]

That was what I said. We should not even try to direct edit the nb/nbh file.

So who wants to dig around in the coredll.dll?? I hate Hex Editing...

All,

Since using this very nice release I'm having some problems with streaming MP3's to windows media player using orb's mycast service over UMTS.
It works but cuts off at some 50 seconds....any ideas?
Keep up the good work!

[MrDSL]

Okay something else weird..

I noticed since going to this my battery life has been horrible. I mean I would loose 50% battery life easy without even using the phone and only have push email through an 11hr period and sometimes more.

Seems like wayyyy too much battery just for push email then I started to notice that when I locked my screen it would activate and turn back on by just touching the screen etc and this is when it was set to only turn on by the power button.

So I went into settings/system/key lock and it was set to only activate by power button. I had to change the setting to something else and then switch it back to only turn on by power button and it seems to be working correctly now but I will test some more.

Any else have this problem?

I posted some other problems earlier but I must be the only one experiencing them..

[kyphur]

I like it,

Just to see how it looks, I changed the size to 320 by 320, moved the text and orb a bit (to ensuere proper display in landscape) and saved it as welcomehead.96.png. Then replaced the file in my wondows folder so it is the 3rd splash screen (Windows Boot Screen) on my device.

Unless I hear to many objections this might be incorporated into v0.20!

Here it is!

:D

I hope you all like it

Okay to elaborate more on this I notied a bug..

When I lock my phone if I just wait and let the screen turn off by itself then it will turn back on by just touching the screen. It should not do this it should only turn back on by pressing the power button.

Now if I lock my screen and then turn the screen of by pressing the power button then it works correctly and will only come back on by pressing the power button like its suppose to..

I hope that makes sense and I have tried it serveral times and I get the same results..

no my battery life is unbelivable even after playing music texting. i think in the htc tweaks u can increase battery life.

which push email service are you using

[digitalfx]

I have not noticed a decrease in battery life, if anything my battery is lasting longer (I am using exchange and get alot of email- but use the radio little)

The Bluetooth is a downgrade for me though. My previous version (see sig) connected to my car fine, and all functions worked well...but now I can pair the two and connect once, then I cannot connect again.

AFIK, only the Cingular AKU 3.3 Rom has an animated splash screen and they (either Cingular or HTC) hacked that. It is not standard function.

Splash Screens are animated.

If you reset your device while the keyboard is slid out the windows splash will be landscape.

I would prefer to use the windows splah for subtle branding.

Ya know, that's exactly what happened to me the first time and man was I frustrated. I mean why have a stereo headset just for phone calls.

Well I was tinkering and since the AVRCP (you know play/pause, next track/prev track) was working I cranked up the volume and discovered that I was infact streaming Audio! Try turning up the volume on your headset and WMP, see if that does anything.

I just tested with my gMail Account and it works as expected.

I trust you are aware of the whole gMail issue in that once an item is marked as downloaded via POP then it will dissapear from your inbox?

This means if you are popping gMail from a PC and your phone anything you d/l on PC will never show up on the phone and once you've read something on the phone it won't show up either on the phone or at your PC.

Look in your gMail Account setting and set Pop flag to download everything in your inbox (right now there should be a time stamp there).

I get around this my forwarding all of my gMail to an IMAP account, works so much better.

on a fresh flash i do the following after selecting other/ then pop/ step 1. hustle@gmail.com/\ step 2 name hustle/ username hustle password _____ step 3. account type pop3/ step 4. incoming mail pop.gmail.com:995 outgoing mail smtp.gmail.com:465

options 1 every fifteen minutes, send and recieve checked, connection the internet
options 2 all checked
options 3 html, entire message,

Modifying the OS Version is one of the steps that needs to be completed for me to be able to switch to the other base Rom. I'm still waiting for a list of other things I might have missed.

I'm taking a slight pause to prevent total burn-out, I can only look at this stuff (the Rom Kitchen) for so long...

@kyphur:
Any news about the genuine rom?

I see you posting here a lot. did you finished the work on the rom already and awating the "okay" from the source?
don´t get me wrong, i just want to know what is going on the work on the original rom...

thanks

Please, are you seriously asking how to install the CAB files onto your phone?

If you don't know that then you really need to do a lot more reading before you flash anything.

Hint (the CAB files are meant for your device not your computer)...

Hey, noobie here, first day actually. I did a lot of reading and was able to get my phone's SIM and CID unlocked. Flashed my ROM with XDA Live. But for the life of me I can not figure out how to get the upgrades installed. I did get the Windows Live upgrade installed though. Help?

P.S. Great job to all who worked on the upgrade. Been playing with it for a little while and love it!

Has anyone been able to install "Good Mobile" https://get.good.com :confused: If we cant get this to work WM6 would be useless since allot of people use it....

I'll test gMail later today, anyone else using gMail?

As for the BT Audio, I can't say that I've experienced any issues. My MOTO Stereo Headset work very well with this Rom.

I have been able to get gmail working fine. I let the device set it up, and it is working fine, HTML mail and all!
