[CHATTER THREAD] WM XDA Live v0.20.x

[kyphur]

Here is where everyone can have general chatter and conversation about WMXL v0.20.x

To be honest, I'll spend most of my time in the REPORT ISSUES (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296126)thread but please don't clutter that thread. I will check in here from time to time.

[jasjamming]

Expected release 8pm GMT -6. Thats around 1am GMT+10 (THU) for me. Time to make an espresso.

On a serious note, your efforts are appreciated.

Now if my wife can stop nagging me it will be the icing on the cake.

[ibanyard]

Thanks for the work!!!!

Do you have plans to release a clean release without phm and all the other apps installed....

(just pulling down 0.20 now!! Will test the sms voicemail notification issue to see if exists in this rom..)

[baudy2]

I'm to be the first one.
Downloaded. Installing.

[ach2]

Got the ROM, now all I need is to get back to England, collect my repaired phone and start playing again...

Thanks for the great work - suggest you get some well deserved rest before all the questions start coming in (can I flash back to WM5 etc etc) :D

[zbee]

already done...beat ya;)

Thanks Kyphur and the TEAM for this great release,

Guys Is there a need for a MIRROR link for 0.20 ? I've got enough space and great bandwidth...

Regards

[jasjamming]

yes mirror will be great, rapid share sucks for me. im in an endless loop telling me i gotta wait 60mins

[kyphur]

Feel free to mirror the files. I want this to spread like wild-fire!!!

Better distribution than M$:p

I don't remember WM5 having this but yes apparently with WM6 you can increase Free Storage Memory by stripping out files.

I noticed this when after I embedded Adobe Acrobat. That is why I released two Roms. I actually flashed an older (RTM) WM6 Rom which had an insane amout of Free Storage Memory, like 62mb but there were no office files and I didn't bother looking into that else was missing...

Still planning on a clean Rom. I want to let this one run for a few days first to see if I broke anything new in it ;) . The Beta team didn't find anything major or new but we only ran on it for a few days so that you guys could get your hands on it.

does the different "Free Storage Memory" actually mean that the storage space the user has later on to install software is affected by what is installed in the ROM? I thought that I had read that all this pre-installed stuff wouldn't.

[Spuddy]

For some reason It will not let me flash my T-Mobile UK Vario2 to your 0.20.

The program detects my current ROM, then when I click "Update" it says "Verifying the information on your Hermes" for around 30 seconds. After that an error prompt saying "Error 260 : Update Error"....

Any Ideas?

[Jakaroe808]

Nice.... Loading it now... I'll Let you know.. Thank you so much Kyphur...

Resolved, needed to remove security pin. May be useful for other users to do the same who have problems...

[dusank]

Ok then,

The mirror will be ready in about 2h, actually as soon as I get back to office.

Thanks, added the info to the FAQ...

Still planning on a clean Rom.

can't wait for it ;) :)

don't need office (have textmaker and planmaker), don't need PDF (have xpdf) and would like to install only the stuff I (!!!) need. so really: can't wait.

[kyphur]

I'd like to know if you guys like how I packaged the RUU (self extracting, icon & logo with a disclaimer and info slash screen)...

[thefunkygibbon]

thought it was very good :) nice and professional. didnt like the naming scheme of the file though.

[ibanyard]

Really simple to install, nice clean prompts and all the right warnings!!

Voicemail text notification still broke (wasnt expecting for it to be fixed though..)

Thanks for sliding in the sync.ico that works fine with Vista!!

I'm going to try some of the cabs from the orange wm5 ext rom to see if I can figuire out what does the vm txt management.... I've not seen this with WM5 without an EXTrom so I'm not convinced I'll find anything....

[jompao]

Thanks to the team!

Looking forward to installing on my Tytn as soon as I get it back from repairs (digitizer screen suddenly stoped to work correctly, it didn't even help to realign it). Almost 40MB free, I like it!

[piopawlu]

I pretty liked it, even though I had to copy some files from temp dir anyway :)

[kyphur]

I was using callwave but switched back to Cingular's voicemail and cannot duplicate this.

Anyone with this problem please post your carrier in the Report Issues thread.

Pushmail functionality with exchange server extremely important for me. I see it was reported before problem accessing exchange server. Is it fix in this release? Can anyone confirm that mail, calendar and contact can be sync with Exchange 2003 using pushmail technology? I want to upgrade to this baby, but can not afford to lose exchange server pushmail. Thanks

[Quato]

Wow.. esay install..

Getting the device to show up via activesync was easy this time.. Had to go into Settings -> Connections and uncheck "Advanced Networking" on the USB to PC.

Thanks for the ROM!

Now, to play with it more!

push mail for mail2web works perfectly just be sure to follow the steps in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1158654&postcount=2) if you encounter problems synching with your pc.

[vulkanxxv]

The video call is ok! :)
Interest the empirical VulKanXXV solution?

[zbee]

all works great, seems my local cell has reverted to 3g as its normaly umts, only niggel is the handsfree icon is black where i foun in the vanilla rom it was white which i found easier to see in the dialpad

[vulkanxxv]

INCREDIBLE!!!

Usually, to be able to keep the 3G signal, in need to use a Vo data Card with antenna...

NOW MY TYTN is under 3G!!!

GREAAAAT JOB.

[mrvanx]

.......seems my local cell has reverted to 3g as its normaly umts.......

Same thing sir, the icon that represents the 'U' on older ROMs now says '3G'. 3G is just the usual buzz word crap, there is a way to change it i think?!?! Are you bothered??! :)

Could you please confirm the status of your 3G connection by doing a speedtest?? There has been a bug where the 3G/UMTS icon is shown even though you are infact connected to GSM/GPRS. Goto the bandwidthplace speedtest (www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest) on your TyTN adn post back here what you get. :)

[zbee]

no i was saying that even the operator info when wirless plugin is enabled doesnt say umts either, i suspect the cell site may be down as my other fone is also saying 3g aswell...just to check ill flash back to vannilla to confirm, the icon color is really me main concern;)

800k/sec. 3G definately.

The 'UMTS' part is added to the network name when you are connected to a 3G(aka UMTS) network, this is disabled in XDA-Live by default but...
By setting the following registry key to 1 (instead of 0):

HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/Enable3GLongNamePrefix

Your operator info will now have the 'UMTS' line before your network name when connected to 3G.
You could change it to add '3G' or 'zbee' by simply edditing the following:

HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/LongNamePrefix

By default it says UMTS, lol i might change mine to 3G hehe.
This may be the same case with Vanilla ROM aswell.

[Pc78]

Huh time to test this ROM now...one question only...it could be flashed from Vista or just from XP?

Regards,
Primoz

[qvik123]

just flashed the rom and had a question.Will the update function run on this rom?

[futureshock]

Hi,

i just post my problem here too have also postet it in issue tread:

Hi there... i still miss my G, E, U, H icons on top bar... only 3g is displayed....

is there any fix available??

only adding the regkey of hsdpa isn't a solution....

(hope that threat is correct for posting this)


.... ok some strange things goes on ....

sometimes i have an H icon... but after a few seconds it disapears...

then it comes back....

did anyoneelse have this error???

I had few problems with the previous release... and I can confirm tht this one works as well (hopefully better)...

My speedtest results comes in at 605.7 k/s - though I'm not really sure what speed I should have, I know this is definitely a 3G connection and its far better than GPRS, so I'm happy!!!

Right then, lets load this baby and see what she's like ;)

Sounds like you have 3G for sure, but not HSDPA. T-mobile does have HSDPA coverage here in the UK so you could give customer services a bell and get it enabled on your account?!

[kyphur]

I'm at my office now, I have my eniter RomKitchen on a USB drive (gotta love VMWare) but I really need to get caught-up on some work today.

As I get free time, I'll gather my notes on regkeys and which .dlls you can point to for the Band Icons. Heck we might even be able to transplant an icon for one of the AKU 3.3 Roms to get you looking right. To be honest though, I'm more concerned with if you are connecting and getting expected speeds.

There's talk of an application that will basically replace the Operator Customization (and do a lot more) so you can preload your extended rom (or storage card) with things you find useful and automate a lot of the set-up that is required when you hard-reset. Of course this will work with any Rom but the author is honoring my by considering to debut the product in WMXL v0.30!!!

ok i think this hsdpa iconenable key should work in wm6 too:
just creat in

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\RIL

EnableHSDPAIcon dword:1

i think i'm in a place where the reception not perfect for hsdpa... because of that sometimes the H appears and then 3g is back... in the bubble is also the same thing... hsdpa and then back to 3G (or what ever you enter... like explained above)

[ericmky]

With the previous version I had problems with my POP mail. When i push the send/recieve key did not do anything and soon the PDA remained congealed and i need to do a reset. Some idea wath have been the problem?
Thanks.
Sorry my english....

[Quato]

Hate to even mention it, but anyone else have an issue with the "Hearts" game installed in XDA .2? I get a registry error / not installed correctly.

Other than that, things are looking awesome so far!

[kyphur]

Looks like I somehow buggered that one. I'll have to check and see if I replaced a file when I embedded Cubicle Chaos.

[kyphur]

It works but is pointless right now. I get a status of Success with No updates avaliable.

[futureshock]

have just run a few speed test's

when i use speed test from here (1mb) http://dslreports.com/mspeed

i became really bad speeds reporter (around 300-400) with HSDPA

when i use the speed test that offers my company for our costumers

http://kmu.telekom.at/kundenbereich/Internettools/speedtest.php

i get around 1000 this is quite good even i had more... but my office is directly under a aerial mast and because of that it can be that i can't use full speed... this mast's beam's horizontaly...

also found 2 small "bugs"

1. in the aero theme it looks like that some of the text colors are set to the background color ...

2. XCSdM Bluetooth Voice Command isn't working anymore... when i want to save i became an error and then app ends without saving ... because that i can't use the bluetooth headset alternatively my bluetooth carradio with voicecommand... (what works fine... (german version))

mybe anyone can confirm my sights...

[futureshock]

It works but is pointless right now. I get a status of Success with No updates avaliable.

here too...

were did the app connect too??

I daresay that they are not happy when 100 of persons are connecting to an unoffical wmupdate service ... ;)

[Chatty]

I asked this before but got no answer as of now: are those programs integrated in the ROM executed in place (XiP)? If not, why not cook a clean ROM and put all stuff into ExtROM?

[kyphur]

Look at the details, a GUID is generated and associated with your IMEI!

Hi,

just curious but will this WMXL 0.20.0 also work on an original HTC TyTN or only on an XDA?

[kyphur]

With the observation that embedded apps now affects avaliable storage space it just might be to our advantage to not embed so much but rather have our own customization solution (which someone is working on right now)...

enabled the buttons with htweak


also you can see the HSDPA Icon ;)

in secound screenshot there is the aero"bug" and bluethoothapp bug

[Applestar]

Again a question to kyphur:

"Memory Cache & Storage Card Fixes are Applied."

What is it in detail?

Would love to get more informations about the tweaks and changes in general. A short description about tweaks & applications? Thought of a log like:

Changed: H.../System/ DWORD 1
Application installed: SMSBackup.cab

Hi,
If I am understanding correctly you are looking for a H icon when connected to HSDPA?

If so yo need to add "EnableHSDPAIcon" and set it to value 1 under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\RIL

That should display "H" icon....
Hope thats what you were looking for
cheers

Sorry didnt see that someone already answered that.....Sorryyyyyy

as for GPRS disconect you can use BandSwitch to togle between umts/gps and also set it to disconect if idle.

as for manualy disconecting the conection use SPBGPRS Monitor it has a disconect button.

Hope it helps

[HerrVorragend]

Hello,

when you open "About" in settings... the Version is CE OS 5.1.195... can anyone tell me why it is 5.x and not 6.x? Does WM6 base on CE5?

[wbless]

NOOB Alert!:
I sifted through the wiki and other threads but I am still confused:

Can just run this file I downloaded and it will update my Vario II or do I need to do stuff in advance (make superCID or do something to my Bootloader or ROM)?
There are so many manuals that still use confusing terminology.

ps what is remove safety PIN?

Gah! wanted to post this in the 'chatter' thread.

WM6 is an evolution of 5 and was originally 5.2.x but Kyphur changed it to trick blackberry connect etc

kyphur, Is it ok if someone uploads just the optional applications to the FTP? I can't get torrents at work and rapidshare is making me wait 72 minutes after downloading the rom.

[Mad Medik]

I am currently downloading the .2 via torrent. I will seed until it has proliferated. The current download speed is pretty poor, so anyone that can seed please do.

I have installed .20 and all seems good so far. I will seed until at least 2:1

If you have downloaded v.21 and/or and CAB files, please create and post a d/l mirror or torrent. Thanks!

In addition, the optional files need to be posted to torrent. I can't find them out there yet and cannot use rapidshare anymore due to exceeding their limit.

[kyphur]

M$ was pretty insistant about their IP and the Optional Apps zip contains both Windows Live! Mobile and Pocket MSN which technically fall under their IP. I think we should be safe so I'll do it and post the link.

Not sure if this should be posted here - but will restoring a backup form 0.10 cause idssues? Has it been tried?

[oswin]

Can anyone help to post the files on any other file sharing site other than Rapidshare please? 4Shared.com would be great!

I can't download files from RS :(

Thanks in advance!

[kyphur]

I would strongly advise against it, there are numerous changes to the registry.

Now that I have Live .20 going how do I get ptt going. mostly im just trying to get wm smartdialer installed. Thanks all.

[philly fan]

Kyphur,

Thanks for all your work and ingenuity. I am wondering after following this thread for the last 4 plus hours, should we, who haven't upgraded yet, upgrade or wait because there is something you have seen you are going to fix. I am not talking about version 3 which I'm sure will be at least a week :) If I take the plunge will I have to upgrade to another released 2.0 version later on tonite when you get home and start your work on making M$ like indifferent?

Once again thanks for all your hard work.

[TheMaster666]

Quick question I don't see answered anywhere else.

I know XDA_Live does include an Extended ROM.
And from what I gather XDA_Live does not even use the Extended ROM.

So...
Should I delete the Files in the Extended Rom?

WM6 has a new version of smart dialer built into the dialer. PTT and VIdeo Call actually downgrade Smart Dialer to WM5 version.

Notice that you can see your recent call and contact above the dialpad. that is the new smart dialer. clicking hide keypad expands the smart dialer.

Now that I have Live .20 going how do I get ptt going. mostly im just trying to get wm smartdialer installed. Thanks all.

[tabackd]

Do I need to change my radio ? I have 1.18
Can I revert back to WM5 if I want to?

[smarty77]

Did my FIRST hermes upgrade, and it was very easy...
No problems at all... everyone could do it!

I'm staying with my old radio, because there isnt yet a methode to recover the old one when the device is broken and i want to claim waranty!

No problems so far...
No problemo with Voicemail notifications (T-Mobile Netherlands)

[jasonmoe]

now that i have live .20 how do i get ptt installed?

[thefunkygibbon]

what is ptt?

Hi Guys,

Firstly, congratulations to Kypher and the team for such a quick turnaround.

I've experienced a strange issue whereby no wireless networks are found (even after resets) with my Wireless on 0.21, which for some reason is not happening on 0.20.

For now I'm happy to stick with 0.2, but thought you'd appreciate knowing.

Again, many thanks!

Anyway to get 3G to disconnect after a certain amount of time with inactivity? If mail gets checked automatically, 3G data stays connected...

[cyberstraz]

Can we get confirmation on this from other users?

Can anyone help to post the files on any other file sharing site other than Rapidshare please? 4Shared.com would be great!

I can't download files from RS :(

Thanks in advance!

As far as ptt is stupid I agree but im trying to get the wm5 smart dialer installed so that I can hopefully get the old BTaudio reg hack going again.

[bubu23]

plz kyphur i looked in where you told me and i couldent find the cabs for the video call?


2*is thers cab for the the contact list ?
when i make aphone call i see little square with the numbers befor i was see the hole numbers that i was dial and get and i could choose one and dial

i dont know how to say it in english very well i hope youll understand me?

hope youll answear!

[kyphur]

Right now there are two different PTT installs in the works, one is the standard integrated with the dialer and the other is a Java applet that will work independent of the dialer (many issues to over come there but it would allow PTT & Video Call to work together.

If you want WM5 Smart Dialer then I recommend either the Video call fix from the WMXL v0.10 Release thread, get on the the ETEN dialers with Smart Dialer or find the "Ghetto Dialer" in the Wizard Forum. Any of these three should give you WM5 Smart Dialer.

Oh man I need sleep.....:o

do i need to install the 2 cabs or one of them?

sorry for the many question:confused:

I think I have the same questions as BuBu:

Which of the files you indicated do I install for videocall to work (and to get rid of the ugly speeddial block)?
One of the files in the post you mentioned is a file with three other files in them....

[thefunkygibbon]

do any of the carrier customization cabs actually work on WM6? i've got a vodafone uk contract one but after installing on both 0.1 and 0.2 of xda live roms it doesnt show the new connections or mms settings.

[kyphur]

Not to be rude but "using the following cab files from a previous extended rom and the following ZombieNexus skin" is pretty clear indication that you need to install all of the cabs (i think there are 3) in the zip file and then install the second file which is a skin cab file.

do i need to install the 2 cabs or one of them?

Is there a way to deactivate the long press mods. I use a key mapper and these mods will annoy me as i have other functions mapped to these buttons.

[kyphur]

For note recorder, use Buttons in the Control Panel.

For the Vibrate toggle remove the "Ringer Mode.lnk" from Windows\Startup Folder.

Damn you kyphur for releasing this! I was just about to start studying for an exam I have today and saw you released it... no way i'm going to be able to study now!

I just read through this chatter thread and the issues thread, How many people are having problems with memory?
Does this reg tweak properly solve the issue?

HKLM/System/StorageManager/FATFS/CacheSize from 16534 change to 4096
HKLM/System/StorageManager/Filters/frseplxfilt/ReplStoreCacheSize from 16534 change to 4096

[Busstop]

Yes, It works perfectly on my X10ht, now It changes to H when I connect to the internet after adding the new Dword. Thank you so much for the tip !

Also I would like to report Coreplayer and widcomm work perfectly too. Before the video lags terribly when I pair the phone with BT stereo, now it syncs with the audio most of the time except when the scene changes really fast.


Thanks!



Hi,
If I am understanding correctly you are looking for a H icon when connected to HSDPA?

If so yo need to add "EnableHSDPAIcon" and set it to value 1 under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\RIL

That should display "H" icon....
Hope thats what you were looking for
cheers

Sorry didnt see that someone already answered that.....Sorryyyyyy

as for GPRS disconect you can use BandSwitch to togle between umts/gps and also set it to disconect if idle.

as for manualy disconecting the conection use SPBGPRS Monitor it has a disconect button.

Hope it helps

[jasonmoe]

is there anyway to get the btaudio program to work like before with the reg hack or do we have to install the widcomm to get it going? i just hate installing the widcomm and liked the old workaround better. It worked in the vanilla release just not in any of the live releases. No problem i like the live releases better just trying to get it going again.

[Squuiid]

I think an important question that hasn't been raised yet, is

WHICH RADIO SHOULD WE BE USING WITH THIS ROM?

A lot of people are reporting connection problems, but don't state their Radio version. Could people report what the best radio is?

I think it would help a lot of users with issues.
I'm on 1.33.31.00 and all works fine
Thanks!

[cjohnson6965]

Does anyone have an FTP link to this? I can't access any of the rapidshare/4shared etc sites from work, and of course torrents don't work. I know someone mentioned it earlier. Thanks!

does this ROM come with HSPDA enabled by default? At home, I get EDGE only, but I will be going to Vegas next week (yeah!). Do I need to do anything to enable HSPDA so that I will be able to access when I am in Vegas?

Use HTweakC to enable it.

Kyphur, firstly, thankyou to you and all contributors for all your work on this. We really appreciate it.

Would it be possible to add some instructions to your ROM info on the 1st page to help people upgrade their Radios? I think it is important that all people testing this rom have the best radio suited to it. This would eliminate some of the connection issues people are clogging the forum with.
We need to bug fix the rom, but connection problems are more likely to be radio related than rom related.
Maybe even bundle the radio into the next rom release?
What do you think?

Thanks again buddy.

[kyphur]

Thanks for the kind words, thay are appreciated...

I hesitate to bundle a Radio Rom because some here have expressed hesitation at upgrading their Radio due to the whole 1.08 BL issue (I know SSPL defeats that but I would rather work the rom than defend the choice of including Radio.

If you want to start a poll, ask if I should roll a radio into v0.30 then I will do as the users request.

Yeah, find Baudy2's post where he explains the hexedit that changed it, extract the OS.nb, reverse the hexedit then flash using your method of choice.

I will not follow Baskins Robbins business model and offer 31 flavors, two similiar but slightly varied verions is all I will do.

First... THANK YOU KYPHUR....and thanks to all of the XDA_Dev community...

What I think Squuiid was getting at, and what I would rather see as well, is...

A) if you are having trouble (Radio Related) pls post which Radio version you are using.

B) If there is one or more radios which work better then others with XDA_Live then just to post the recommendations...
i.e. "Having a radio earlier then 1.27 causes connection icons to be inaccurate"

2- How could I Backup my actual OS, just in case to do a downgrade...

You can flash any OS Rom via MTTY provided you are using the right bootloader and are SuperCID. (that's how I flashed my 8525 12 times in tha last day! but Of course I always do a final flash using the RUU before I post it.

[apeguero]

I'm not going to judge anyone since I'm a noob on this site too but, in the first page, kyphur the GREAT answers some very common questions in like his 3rd post. It has this:

Q: If I upgrade to WMXL can I downgrade to an official Rom from my carrier?
A: Of course you can. WMXL DOES NOT HAVE A RADIO ROM so your Radio & Radio BootLoader are not touched. If you are not SuperCID you can use a Rom from your carrier to downgrade or you can use SSPL.

That to me says that one does not need to have SuperCID in the device in order to use WMXL.

Now, had you read that very first page then you would've never needed an answer for your first question. As for your 2nd question, if you want to be able to go back to WM5 then your best bet would be to find a good backup program somewhere online and use whatever means you want to obtain a copy, be that money or other, and create a backup. My experience with these backup programs is that they're not solid. I guess this way if you don't like WMXL then you can re-install your Official ROM and then restore from the backup.

Just a bit of advice for people. Hit us noobs with whatever shit you want but at least answer the question or post a link to it. We don't mean to offend or even waste your time. And I'm sure the community here doesn't want to have to put up with flaming wars. Peace. And kyphur, you rule man. I hope you get some tonight

So, I have upgraded since early this morning, here Eastern time.
Had no problems, except that memory leak but I changed the two registry entries. Memory went up but to only about 21-23megs.

So far I have not encountered any other problems whatsoever after playing around with it for a most of the day. No hangs and no issue moving the data back from my Sync.

Not that I was expecting any problems. If could wager I would say that it feels a minuscule amount slower than the Vanilla Rom but still faster and smoother than WM5.

We are talking miliseconds here, and could only be really felt if you used the TyTN the way I do. Which is basically for almost everything.

I really like the ROM. Good jump over old WM5 and an excellent job.

My piece:
Unlocked HTC TyTN.

[agovinoveritas]

Oh, and one last thing... Storage Card issue where it sort of disappears is gone too.

Spent about 2 days lurking these forums and reading the xda-wiki.. Im proud to say I completed the .20 update with no problems and even tackled it using Vista which only took me 2 tries. :D

So to all you noobs.. there is hope.. alot of hope !

for anyone using Vista:

Goto the thread below.. Follow the directions stated by the 1st poster. Now after I completed all the steps and It DIDNT work I re-opened Windows Mobile Device Center, re checked allow USB and then ran the .20 rom file and Tada!
atleast I think thats all I did ;x..

Hmm, i got the Bl 1.01
if i remember correctly you can only flash ROM's piece by piece wit that one,
which would be faster? flashing 1.4 and then do the update or just flash the OS.nb*?

[nallyvaico]

Kyphur,
I'm afraid I miss smth.

WMXL v0.20 uses my original Base Rom. Please note that the Vanilla Rom is derived from the same Base Rom as I have been using. The big difference is that I spent a lot of time sifting through the Rom files sorting what to delete whereas the Vanilla Rom, while good, has had a little too much trimmed off in some areas while junk has been left standing in others. Another difference is that I have changed a few files in WMXL v0.20 so that it can support Cingular's PTT.
and
WMXL v0.20 no longer uses the Vanilla Rom as it's base. I have been given the okay to release using my Original Base Rom.

v0.10 used the vanilla rom that was released on the forums as a base. Basically, when the rom was released, kypher got his hands on it as did someone else. That someone else supposedly did a hack job on the rom taking out crucial elements. This new rom was hacked by kypher in a much more suitable manner. So yes, vanilla and this new rom are based on the same thing, its just that the new one was better made and not a rush job.

[zbee]

what would be nice is a vannila done by kypher, with just a regeditor and the basic fixes including ext rom unlocked, and leave it niece and clean so people can install what they want, im also a minimulist

[Inphyy]

Hmm this SSPL sounds fishy,

you can extract it and flash it, or you can do it the way I and hundreds of other people have done it. Just run the exe. SSPL is not fishy. it works GREAT. worked on my BL 1.01MFG. Flashed within 2 mins, no probs.

[m15chief]

For some reason It will not let me flash my T-Mobile UK Vario2 to your 0.20.

The program detects my current ROM, then when I click "Update" it says "Verifying the information on your Hermes" for around 30 seconds. After that an error prompt saying "Error 260 : Update Error"....

Any Ideas?

I had the same error message when trying to upgrade anything while using Vista. All work fine using XP and activesync 4.5 though

[Inphyy]

Q: When I try to flash this Rom I get "Error 260: Update Error" why can't I flash this?
A: Remove you Security Pin.

[Inphyy]

Then comes the job of installing apps again(which probably wont work anyways)

[.VIBE]

hey, it's worth it :D

[Mesh]

When pairing my Vario II with my laptop using BlueTooth, it no longer installs a bluetooth modem.

How can I use my Vario II as a modem now? I tried the Internet Sharing program, but this will only allow my desktop as the internet source.

And are people having issues with WiFi connections aswell? It keeps kicking me off my main wireless connection and connection to my neighbours connection.
Even when I remove the automatic configuration.

[Inphyy]

hey, it's worth it :D
Too bad it comes with loads of stuff that i dont want

Edit: Hmm, i cant seem to get it to change the keyb layout, is there some new settings in this rom or is it just the PHM reg editor thats crap(which i think it is)

Edit 2: one of the reg keys seems to be revertin to its initial state after each soft reset

Edit 3: Resco Regeditor did the job

What does ringer mode do? And is it necessary?

That supports Press & Hold Comm Manager Button to Toggle Ringer between Ringer & Vibrate.

What does ringer mode do? And is it necessary?

[kyphur]

I don't want to distract others with a public debate as they seem to get quite heated, I was going to respond privately but instead I'll ask everyone to respectfully not jump on this from either side please.

I don't know what your definition of "Loads of unwanted stuff is". There are simply a few small helper apps embedded designed to make it easier for you to upgrade.

Yes, the Registry has been changed. While some of the WM5 fixes work many don't (anyone want to start documenting them in the Wiki?).

Since we can now clearly see that embedding apps into the Rom does not give us the Storage Memory savings that WM5 Rom saw I will be changing that part of WMXL for v0.30. Focus will be on getting the maximum amount of Free Storage Ram for you and giving you a way to have YOUR FAVORITE STUFF installed automatically after Hard Reset (even on the first boot after flashing if you follow pre-configuration instructions). There will always be a package of WMXL Recommended Apps which include the Core (SMS Backup, Task Manager, etc) HTweakC XDA Live Edition and Ringer Mode will remain embedded.

Main focus remains (and has always been) a stable implimentation of WM6. There seems to be some issues with the Networking Implimentation so we need to look at that

Feedback is not only appreciated but specifically requested and desired. I will however ask that you not be negative. Instead of saying "Too much embedded things I don't want" ask for "Clean Rom without so much Embedded" the tone is a lot different.

I have read many refer to this as "My Rom" but please I don't think of it that way. To me this is XDA Dev's Rom. I'm here to make something the community wants and needs. Work with me in that regard, please.

Too bad it comes with loads of stuff that i dont want

My SPVM3100 has side-effects with this ROM
Today screens won't refresh unless I open keyboard and close It
after suspend when device wakes up, screen becomes white or has a 5 pixel line filled with garbage pixels(this when in landscape mode) on the left Then It needs several suspends to get over It

[Inphyy]

Sorry kyphur, i didnt mean it like that.

But I discovered that the integrated regeditor had problems changing the registry in HKLM, dunno why, probably just me doing something wrong.

My 3100 is running absolutely fine (with 0.20).

Have you installed third party apps? If so, are they on the storage card?

Did you run orange customisations cabs?

I had a few slowdowns and freezes with 0.10 that I think were due to one or both of the above. So this time, I installed SPB Pocket Plus 3.1 and WIndows Live Messenger both onto the device and only run copilot live from the Storage card when I need it. My device has never been so quick! Have you checked available memory as well? Its worth running the HSDPA and Mem Cache cab.

2 small errors found:

1. after using cerdisp (host: winxp) i can't use my hardware keyboard any more.... also no buttons in d-pad work... only softreset helps...

2. when you just in mms composer and you became an sms and delete it in "notification mode" it goes to mms deleted items ;) maybe a wm6 general problem...

Has anyone been able to get Sling mobile player working with either XDALive .10 or .20 or vanilla WM6 versions?


I am still seeing error with audio decoder in the sling log. Exact error is right after connection established:

Sling then shows error on screen:
Unable to connect to Slingbox

Not talking about orb, but specifically Sling mobile player

thanks for any input or ideas.

We need to know from Slingbox Tech support what codecs it requires so we can ensure they are all included in WM6.

This is because ICS via bluetooth uses PAN not modem.

When pairing my Vario II with my laptop using BlueTooth, it no longer installs a bluetooth modem.

I have the same issue, but i found another way to make them work (till next failure) - buy using the scroll wheel for a sec. Somehow it affects on D-Pad buttons and they are getting enabled again. IT IS very annoying, but the benefits of the ROM are muuuch higher.

Thanks everybody for all efforts to deliver XDA LIVE.

Had that problem myself on version 1, it seemed to correct itself after a little bit of usage, hope it does that for you, I'm yet to install the newer version as I had a slight *cough* mishap with my mda vario II (melted it, long story lol),

This starts the program (aka cingy manner mode) that allows you to press & hold the comm manager button and toggle between vibrate and normal volume.

[wpbear]

We need to know from Slingbox Tech support what codecs it requires so we can ensure they are all included in WM6.

They wouldnt tell me. But I think it was becasue the guy I talked too was a stupid call center guy, he was programed to read off a screen a preformed answer. I tried slingcommunity and since NO ONE seems to have WM6 they dont care to discuss what codecs are required either. I guess it is like Vista right now, no one is buying or has it so most people dont care about WM6.

Just a little Question:

Is there a possibility to display the Date and Time not as the first Item on the Homescreen?
Just now, Windows wants Date&Time as first Item.
So i have PhoneAlarm as the second one, but Phonealarm would fit seamless to the startbar if i could place it as first item.

It's not a real issue, so i didn't post in the other thread.

You can change the position of almost everything in today. I use phone alarm at top too.
Go to settings, then click on TODAY, swith to the ITEMS tab (below), and select PHONE ALARM and then click on MOVE UP until it reach top :)

[shagratt]

Have someone find a way to disable the annoying 'click' sound? :)

[raix]

No, i can't.
The box "Move down" for Date&Time is grey and the Box "Move up" at Phone Alarm either.
I can move every item to the second Place, bus Date&Time won't go from the first one :7

[shagratt]

No, i can't.

I can move every item to the second Place, bus Date&Time won't go from the first one :7

just disable day & time! if you use Wisbar Advance 2 you can have day&time on the same space at top bar (visible on every application) and plus you can add a function when click the clock (i set the dropdown of COPY & PASTE menu,very useful).

[raix]

So there is no possibility to move Date&Time one position down without using third Party Apps?

[Murcielago]

Kyphur,
I have one question about that ROM :
Do you have any of the reported issues with the original ROM that was provided by your source ?
Thanks

[futureshock]

just look inside the registry... here are all today apps listed... edit there the position... to know what is what just play a little bit around with the arrengment of the items in today settings...

[raix]

Can you give me a hint, where to look in the registry?

Edit:
I found the part where the Today Items are listed.
But Date&Time is not listed! Everything else is there, even Skype and phonealarm.
And PhoneAlarm ist set to "Order 0", so i assume it's at the top nevertheless Date&Time is at Position1

No such list is avaliable without compromising source.

Just wanted to say thanks to Kypher. WM6 is much better than WM5. Not only that, he made it so easy to download and even through a few suprises into it (ie. HTweakC)! I really appreciate it, as I was tempted to to switch from my 8525 to WM6 after testing it out on a p4390. Thanks again, your the man!
