Hmm, a Most Beautiful Rom that was posted by a user named .biz. I just may have to check this one out. It also seems very similar to another rom I saw lately, although that one was AKU 3.3.

Guys....

I just received an email with a link to the topic, but I "officially" tell you all that I have nothing to do with it!!

I just released an AKU3.3 Rom and I really don't have the time to work on 2 Roms at the same time ;)

And if I would release a real Crossbow Rom I certainly wouldn't do it with a nickname .Biz :D

Molski, have you had a chance to try this new ROM out? I've been using your ROMs for the past couple months and always had a great experience with them. Recently I got an itch to try a WM6 and haven't been 100% happy yet. Just curious to see if you have test driven this one and whether it had your stamp of approval as compared to the other WM6 versions available.

Curious minds wanna know =D.

Thanks in advance.

I have tried this and find it as good as the 3.3 Molski released today (also must give credit to Faria for his 3.3 work). In fact alot of this is very similiar.
I just personally want to thank you to the mystery person who didnt want to take the credit for his work! Thank you. wink!

I really suck at this stuff I guess.. last night I tried the UG WM CB image; everytime it got to 96% it would sit there for a few minutes.. and then come up with a communication error. So I went back to the factory HTC image off their site.

Saw this new version, figured i'd give it a shot.. Got to 95%.. sat there for a bit and I started getting worried.. finally 100%! Rebooted, pretty new Windows Screen.. then the WM5 screen.. and back to WM5, which is now installing the Cingular customization pack

how the hell did that happen? There shouldnt be a trace of cingular on here if the install completed.. Any ideas why I saw the new WM logo and then it loaded the old OS?

Hi guys. Sorry if this is a bit off topic. I'm pretty sure I've got WM6 running, as I successfully flashed the Most Beautiful, but it doesn't look too cosmetically different.

How come it doesn't look like the screenshots I've seen? Is there something I've done wrong? Is the today screen in this shot using a 3rd party plugin, or is it standard WM6?

Sorry, I'm not to 'UP' on WM6 yet...

Yes, you didn't finish the instructions from the Dr P sticky on doing a CID Unlock...

Get your phone turned off (pull the battery if you have to). Plug in your USB cable, then hold the camera button down and then turn on your phone. You should get the "rainbow" screen with USB in the lower left. Now flash a good base ROM on your phone (T-Mobile 2.26 Ship is good and what I used on my Cingular 8125). Once you get that on, then do your Flash of whatever ROM you want to do.

The key is you have to get a good 2.x base on your phone for the IPL/SPL .

in fact, smartskey says 264 but with a " ; " at beginning of the line, which put the omapclock setting as a commentary.
You need to delete the " ; " for omap setting to become effective (and restart smartskey of course)

I think it's set like that because ".biz" uses batterystatus to OC.

The WPA2/AES fix is not included in this ROM so you only have WPA/WPA-PSK authentication with TKIP encryption. To resolve this replace the tnetwln.dll file in the ROM for the one from Faria's AKU 3.3 ROM (or the ones built from it). I had to use Total Commander to replace the file since the original one is in ROM.

Maybe a bit off-topic, but how do you manage to replace files in rom, even with total commander ??

In fact, I would like to overwrite files that have to do with voice command, to replace them by the french 1.6 version, as the original WWE supplied with this rom is unusable for me (due to my very frenchy accent ;) ). I already tried on orwell and underground and never succeeded. All i get is that, afterwards, voice command tells me that it can't run...

Sorry I don't know. I assume you must have to stop Voice Command prior to overwriting any files. With Total Commander I just selected the 'copy to clipboard' of the new tnetwlan.dll and pasted it into the \Windows directory. The properties of this file now show it as NOT in ROM. I assume the original one is still there but hidden somehow?
You could always re-cook the ROM and replace the files that way, although I must admit this is a bit beyond me at the moment. There are a few files I would like to replace as well....

One thing I have noticed which is not a big issue but a difference between Farias last AKU 3.3 ROM and this ROM is the Wireless doesn't initially switch on following a soft reset.
You hit the hardware button and then click the wireless button and it doesn't switch on. You need to either hit it again or click on the 'x' next to the Phone signal level and select 'turn wireless on'. Also following a soft reset if you go to settings, connections and select Network Cards the 'Wireless' Tab is not available and only the 'Network Adapters' Tab is there. If you enable wireless by doing what I said above the Wireless tab appears, plus the icon in settings, connections turns from Network Cards to WiFi.

I think in Faria's AKU 3.3 ROM there was a startup shortcut that started something with wireless that made everything available from a soft reset. Can someone look in the \Windows\Startup folder to see what WiFi related shortcuts there are?

I'm running Faria's AKU 3.3 (Love it) and Just looked and there is a link in \Windows\Startup for WiFiInit . This link points to a \Windows\WiFiInit.exe . Hope that helps...

Now with that said, and seeing the glowing reviews of this ROM, is it worth moving from Faria's AKU 3.3 up to Most Beautiful Edition? I may wait a bit to also see the outcome of the XDA Live port that is supposed to be coming.

This Rom is based on Faria's Rom....so the tnetwln.dll file is from Faria...

Molski

Obviously you had nothing to do with the building of this ROM :rolleyes: , however I could not select WPA2/WPA2-PSK or AES until I replaced the tnetwln.dll from the one extracted from Faria's last AKU 3.3 (V2?) ROM.

Can you verify this?

I'm running Faria's AKU 3.3 (Love it) and Just looked and there is a link in \Windows\Startup for WiFiInit . This link points to a \Windows\WiFiInit.exe . Hope that helps...

Now with that said, and seeing the glowing reviews of this ROM, is it worth moving from Faria's AKU 3.3 up to Most Beautiful Edition? I may wait a bit to also see the outcome of the XDA Live port that is supposed to be coming.

I created the shortcut to WiFiInit.exe in \Windows\Startup and soft reset - same result unfortunately :confused:

Did you load the battery cab from the Underground forum I posted. Go check it out and try it.

i installed it and will see if it works, thanks
what does the battery cab do? i never installed that on the underground and never had battery issues.

Well i have never even tried this before, so i got new rom off the newsgroups, followed the instructions in the shelltool folder, and it works brilliant.

And i forgot to turn off the radio before i flashed, seems ok though, not sure if this is a must or not ?

Loads up really fast now from the off.

xda mini s, off to play now :)

For G4 users: I noticed someone mentioning that they now had SPL 1.04. Does this ROM contain a bootloader, radio rom or extended ROM?

Thanks. Just wish to be sure before flashing.

I just installed this ROM yesterday (well today al 2.40 am :cool: ) And i am amazed by this release.

Its clean, stable, no memory leaks.

Ive been using PDAViet3, and is a great ROM but this one is much more stable. Of course tweak it at your own taste and you will love it !! :)

It works on a G4 Locked device using the Shell Tool Method (which i begin to love).

Hope you install it and enjoy it. It contains MMS and Midlet manager, camera working perfect. Well i love it, i think this is the final WM6 version, really.

This ROM is the same base ROM as the orwell (it ahs the same build number), it has a number of additional programs such as SMS Notifier, Contact backup, System Task Manager, Battery status and more like these all integrated into the ROM. The camera button and application are fixed with the ones present in WM5. Yes it does seem stable but I decided to stick with the clean Orwell ROM.

Clean to flash on G4 Wizard and works with 2.61 radio.

Hey EasyMob,

I installed that Wizard_MB_1010811_21911.exe on my TMobile MDA (the file that you uploaded). I keep getting error 302 (update error) when the installer hits %95.

My phone is useless right now =P. Any ideas on how to either restore it to WM5 or put WM6 on it?

I'd really apprecaite it =P (luckily i have a backup HTC Apache i can use until i can figure out how to fix this darn Wizard)

These Crossbow ROMS probably have no branding, right? I don't mind losing cingular icons, but does that mean that I have to set up my GPRS?

ngl1984

I tried this ROM, it seems good and fast, almost as many bugs as other ROMs.
I found a "new" bug that there isn't in PDAviet: I can't directly run .reg files to modify registry. Do anybody know a solution or the correct association for .reg files?

I've just flashed this ROM last night and I'm fairly happy with it so far. I've just came from Underground and this is a big improvement (atleast for me). Thank you.

- The battery issues I had with Underground appear to be gone. Underground wouldn't last much more than 12 hours of very little usage. With MB, after a full charge last night this morning I woke up with 100% and now I'm foolin around with it a little and its 94% after 7 hours. But its dropping a little faster now. I'll see how it performs with a whole day's worth of usage.

- There is no significant memory leak. It starts out at like 28.2M, run a couple programs and it'll drop to 22.4M, close all of them at its at 27.7M, run SKTool's FreeUp RAM and it gets to 28.0M. That's pretty damn good.

I was very confident in Mr. Biz's ROM skills that I just jumped right in and installed everything back to how I like it. (Shame on me) Because after everything is said and done I'm finding it to be LESS stable than Underground or any M2.2/2.3 I tried. Its very sensitive (reminds me of one of my XP desktops) and hangs all too often and then it'll self-soft-reset on its own. No white screen of death...weird. But its only the beginning and I haven't had even 1 full day testing it yet so I'll see what happens.

Is anyone having any problems with BatteryStatus with CPUScaler, More Indicators, and TaskBar Indicators enabled? Because the only other start up programs running are GSPocketMagic, PPCProfilesTray, VJToggleToday, AEBPlus, and Voice Commander. The others don't seem likely to cause the instability.

Thank again Mr. Biz and everyone else who may have supported his work.

when that happend to me i had to flash the rommwith a stock rom or another rom like wizard love which you can download from the link below once you have flashed using either of them if you use the shell tool link below and follow the instructions you will be able to flash pretty much any rom you like

4)cyVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 20)
5)cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)

The shell tool is for cid-locked devices. There is an entire thread devoted to the use of that wonderful program located in the G4 section. Many silly questions are answered in that thread,most of them posted by me.

The nk.nbf can be extracted using winrar, most times by just right-clicking the file.

Put the nk.nbf in the same folder as your shell tool so that the program can find it.

I actually just upgraded to this ROM in the last hour or so (have been watching it before jumping in, but am in now :) ). What I did was went to the Cingular site and found a faq for configuring internet browsing. Basically had to create a lot of the stuff that wasn't in this ROM. After doing this, I can now browse the net with IE.

Here's the link to the guide I used to do all of the settings:
https://www.cingular.com/support/deviceConfig.do?content=KB56475.html

You can't follow it exactly as not everything is there, so use it as a guide to create MediaNet and Cingular GPRS as the images and steps has all the info you need.

Hmmm. Is it possible to download this release from a site that does *NOT* have a CAPTCHA? I'm rather blind (as in, my eyes don't work at all), CAPTCHAs (at least visual ones) are not something I can solve, and every site I can find that has any Crossbow release seems to be "protected" by them.

Due to requirements where I work, we are being pressured to install the MS DST patch on all mobile devices. I'm assuming that this isn't necessary with this ROM since its new? (ie: DST patch is already in it). Anyone know for sure?

Lovin this rom so far, only gripe i have is the text size in the phone is perfect but when I receive a text or write a text the font is huge. (not when looking at inbox but when I actually go into the message) Is there anyway I can change the font size to the same as the system font? i do not want to change the system font size, just the font size for the name of the person and body of the message when viewing a text message.

I have every right to add to this great community about advising about a rom that actually works flawlessly and people can now use their phone for what its supposed to be used for with WM6. IF you dont like my remarks, maybe you should just hit the X button in the top right hand corner, would save you time and me as well.


Thanks

The same can be applied to you. I don't give a damn about your remark. I didn't cook any of these ROM. However, for a leecher you sure know how to show your appreciation of other people works. I wonder when another ROM comes out within a few weeks from Johnny or Molksi what would you say about the MB version? Typical leecher is what you are. :rolleyes:

With BatteryStatus 4 beta 2 pre-installed on this ROM...are we the only 3 experiencing lock up issues??

Was features did you have enabled on your BatteryStatus 4? CpuScaler? On Wakeup? Set Last Speed? Device Lock? TaskBar Indicator? Tray Icons? More Indicators? I have everything above enabled at the moment.

Also what features do you have enabled on BatteryStatus 3 that proove to be stable?

I love all the extas that BatteryStatus 4 beta 2 and would hate to get rid of it if I didn't have to. So maybe from your responses I can determine if it might be just one misbehaving feature of it. If so then I can disable just that part of it and ask the developer to see if he can look into it.

I had a lot of problems with battery status, I think it was causing lockups and it would not stick to 260mhz, I went back to version 3 of battery status, now the phone seems very stable, no more lockups.

I second that.......I did the same thing.

Smurftastic. I seem to remember that you need LokiWiz03A to CID unlock the AKU2 ROMs (is that correct?) ... or is this the part where I need to roll back to a pre-AKU2 ROM? Or, for that matter, is this even an option if I'm CID-locked?

Also, do I have the "Most Beautiful Edition"? I have the version that was uploaded to 4shared on 18 January, but the messages involving the ROM on RapidShare were dated ... two days ago. From what I remember of Crossbow's release schedule, it was released to manufacturing before my contract ended in December, or not too long after, so has the OS changed in that time?

I installed the rom last night, so far so good. Thanks to whoever cooked it, and I think this rom would make Molski proud :D

Only problem I've had so far is a few times my MDA has frozen, at the green windows screen during boot up. As far as I can tell when I use PsShutdownxp it does it, but it's totally random. I guess it could be a problem with WM and not specifically the rom. In any case will report back if I find the reason.

On another note, I've been trying to get a black, not gray, theme but no dice. I've tried looking for tsk file and messing around with the registry to get the theme black, but nothing is working. If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Of course I'm using BattersyStatus :D Ikarus is doing too much of an awesome job with the little app. Anywho,

*General Tab. Everything except "Bold Font", "Broadcast Msg" & "Use Idleloop"
*Tools Tab. Nothing.
*Omap Tab. Set "CPU Speed To" 260, but it's not actively o.c-ing, so my wizard is still @195
*Omap Apps Tab. Nothing is set up, just the 3 default apps, that are set to run at default speed.
*CallTimes Tab. everything except, "Log Selected" and "Round Counter"
*Traylaunch Tab. Only "Wifi", and "Bluetooth"

I had other icons setup with Traylaunch, but they would act erratically so I'm using PHM Traylaunch for the other ones. The behavior was that after after a reset or after making the changes some icons would dissapear. I suspect that this might be the problem, I'm going to read through the latter pages on BatteryStatus thread to see if I find some answers. Thanks for the heads up, if I find anything worth reporting I'll post back.

If you do not want to CID-Unlock you phone, go here. Mine is CID-unlocked, yet this rom kept freezing at 95% when trying to flash to my phone. I used this tool and it put the rom on my phone very easily. I put the shipped 2.25.11 cingular rom on first before I used this tool so I would have a clean base. This tool is not just for G4 devices either as mine is a G3 wizard. Just follow the steps.

3)cxHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 20)

4)cyVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 20)

5)cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)

6)You can change it to 12 all of them if u want becasue in this ROM they are set to 9 and thats very low and when done wait a few minutes and Reboot

The only things different I've done was to disable a couple features on BatteryStatus:

- Disabled Set on Wakeup
- Disable CpuScaler
- Disable TaskBar Indicator

So far it hasn't crashed at all. Before it would crash doing something simple such as waking up the phone and trying to send a text. Now its very smooth and hasn't crashed at all. I'm going to test further to see if I can narrow it down to just one setting (if possible).

Is anyone having lockup and/or resetting issues with the above options in BatteryStatus disabled? Can someone with a healty non-locking up phone please try enabling all the options in BatteryStatus and see if they develop problems?

Yes, Ikarus' BatteryStatus is great. The best piece of freeware I have on my Wizard.

At this point I'm almost certain that the issue lies with batterstatus' Traylauncher. After just setting it to show 2 icons, wifi and bt, it's working fine. The rest of my tray is done via PHM traylauncher (I have 9 icons total). If any of you experience lock ups during boot up and have a lot of trayicons set up with batterstatus disable them and get PHM traylauncher to setup your tray.

i was running MB for a few days but switched back to underground, i honestly think is runs better and more efficient -- MB kept crashing on me.
Well I just flashed to this ROM (too tempting to try a new ROM :p )so I'm keeping an eye out for it. I'll let ya know my experiences in a day or two...thanks for the input though!

I noticed that my Wizard locks up when the clock speed goes below around 84MHz.
After setting the minimum clock speed above that i didn't get any lockups in normal use.

Problems I have with this rom:

- Push mail doesn't work, even though activesync on the pda says it is connected with the server. Only syncs manually despite scheduled as "as items arrive". I use Kerio Mailserver i.o. Exchange but this problem never occurred with WM5 roms.

- No new mail notification (sound, visual, flashing led nor vibe) after a manual sync. Haven't tried sms yet.

- Switched off keyboard word completion but it still works in certain programs and is enabled again after a soft reset.

- Bluetooth A2DP quality sounds as bad as with WM5 AKU2 roms. Bitpool registry tweaks for WM5 do not work.

Push mail is important to me so I will step back to WM5 asap.

Underground edition was my previous ROM before I run out to this one! I'm preety satisfied specially when talking about stability. It's something I really appreciate in a new version!;)
Maybe you should consider try it out!

Here is the application list running over it without problems so far::)

MMS
Push-mail
GPRS monitor
Pocket Mechanic
MemMaid
Resco Explorer
Resco Viewer
Edictionary
Ewallet
Wisbar advance
Sprite Backup
Destinator 6
Phat notes
Pocket Informant
Airscanner Sniffer
HandyMenu
HandySwitch
Opera Browser
PocketRSS
Skype
Wifi Companion
VM Net browser
Tweaks2k2
Phone Alarm 1.58
Marsware Weather Panel
Ilauncher 3
=======================================
Good luck!

regards

I'm running the Underground Edition now and after a few days have things setup pretty well. Is there any compelling reason to go with this one ? I haven't seen any dumps of the OS version from Settings\System\About or Settings\System\Device Information.

As posted right down yours by Golfer, try install Battery save and analyse it again! I haven't had any drains after I've done that! :)

Good luck

anyone have battery issues with this rom? i had the underground and the battery charge lasted very long, with the most beautiful edition it was fully charged this morning and i took one 2 minute call and checked e-mail now its 83%. i might go back to underground version

:cool: Sorry, but I have to disagree with you!
I coming from Underground which I consider really cool but this one is far faster and stable!
Everything is working fine. You should try litle more!;)

Personally I have found this ROM to be slower than the Underground ROM (yes I did change the clock speed back to the default in the ini file). But other than the radio version change and a few apps to fix the missed calls issue its pretty much the same

Unlike you, pushmail is working fine to me!:D
Try Mail2web and you should be fine if you don't already!

I got all messages from my Gmail account directly to Mail2web server and then out to my Wizard. :)

This has caught me out a couple of times :rolleyes:

HELP !!!!!
I have tried to install the Mo.. Bea.. ROM twice. both times I first, downgrade to the default T-Mobile ROM and then try the Mo.. Beau.. ROM. It completes the upgrade process and when it reboots it shows the Wm6 splash screen, but the ROM is still Wm5. I have SIM unlocked the phone, I know it is unlocked because I have tried a Cingular SIM and it worked.
What do I need to do..
Here is the Blonde Moment question.
What is CID unlocking?
IF I sim unlocked the phone, do I have to CID unlock it too to upgrade?

Your phone is not fully unlocked, CID must be unlocked also. READ READ READ, this is mentioned on every thread containing a ROM Update.

SIM unlocking and CID unlocking are two different things. SIM unlock lets you use any sim card in your phone. CID unlock lets you flash any rom on your phone. u have to CID unlock before you can flash your phone. Since you have a G3, do a search for lockwiz02 which will help you CID unlock your phone or you can use the shell tool in the G4 forum to flash on a CID locked device. Put your phone into bootloader mode (hold the voicedial button on the side when doing a soft reset, goes to the tri color screen) and flash a previous working rom and then go back and try again.

Im not sure if this is it but you can try it. Go to start > Settings > Buttons and click on the lock tab at the bottom (the third tab). Ther you have the options to change the auto lock settings. Hope it helps.

Seems to me that is a carrier issue because I have never seen that on any of the Wm6 Rom forums I watch daily. Since it happened with two different Roms, most likely it isnt the Rom causing this. Possibly a bad SIM card too.

I think it's both ROM and carrier related as I had exactly same problem when I tried the PDAViet 4 rom. I found though that if I selected Send from the tap and hold menu on the From field in the message writer, the message sent fine. I never had this problem with Farias last ROM, so I went back to that.

So last week, I installed the MB WM6 Rom whilst I was in Houston (on my home network, T-Mobile) and repeatedly got exactly the same problem (please wait for 15 seconds). I kept the ROM this time though (I could live with the workaround above) and travelled to the UK this weekend. I was suprised to find that I DO NOT get the problem over here - still on T-Mobile, but obviously not the same network.

Humm...the workaround to the problem I was having of getting the "wait 15 seconds" error when tryin to send text messages works fine (Thanks to Andrew again for the help). The problem I am having now is the message delivery option. I cant turn it off. If you go to menu > tools > options and click on Text messages, I get the same error again. My questions is, is there somewhere in the registry where I can change this or any other place?

Well if it says sim lock, then that would seem to be the problem. Also from the message asking you to enter an unlock code, I'm pretty sure the phone got SIM locked somehow. I could be wrong. Try using lockwiz to unlock the SIM and try again. Do u have a G3 or a G4?

Actually iam not sure but i think it's G3... what's the difference? I bought mine the same day that IMate launched the K-Jam in Dubai @ Gitex around Sept 2005 if that helps knowing if it's G3 or G4 :D

If you have a G4, chances are your phone is still CID locked (unless u went to the IMEI website and paid to get the phone unlocked). If you have a G3, use lockwiz in that link i gave you to unlock the phone. If you have a G4, u can use the shell tool in the G4 forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480) to flash a rom. good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

- OS 10.1.0.811

2) Gets stuck at the splash screen and just restarts....
