[NEW RELEASE] Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition v1.2 (UPDATED with SPL 1.30.Olipro)

[jasjamming]

Windows Mobile VI - BLACK EDITION v1.2
................................once you try black you can't go back!

Developed by the two psychopaths in Melbourne Australia! - jasjamming [the iron chef] and walshieau [programmer with a vengence]

Feel free to make donations to us in terms of BEER and WOMEN! (ummm. please?)

Thanks for all your support and feedback in v1.1. We have sorted many issues as well as added better functionality all in a tight and compact form factor. Here are the details.

ROM VERSION: WM VI Black 1.2 (3.22.200.4)
CE Version: 5.1.195 (HEX-edited from 5.2.968 to support BBconnect)
Build: 17217.2.3.0
FREE STORAGE: 54.06MB
FREE RAM: 29.86MB

The Kitchen Used: ROM Koch (prerelease) by "dutty" - the bat out of hell programmer!
RUU Installer: Custom RUU 3.6 OLI (the fuckwit)

So, what does 1.2 contain (MUST READ):

1. Memory Cache Patch
2. HSDPA Icon Enable
3. SD Card Disappear Reg Hack (only works on some SD cards such as Kingston)
4. Bigger Screen (vjtoggletoday)
5. Brighter Screen (vjlumosIII)
6. Flashlight (vjCandella)
7. HTTweakC 2.1
8. MagicSS (Screen Capture)
9. Windows Mobile VI Black Edition splash Screen
10. WMBE.tsk (with black bars) set as default
11. SMS Backup
12. (TaskMan and RegEdit) in programs (the task manager has an integrated registry editor)
13. Connection Manager Icon tray removed
14. XButton (alias Task Manager in Settings) set to "close" when tapping and holding X by default
15. ATImageON Performance Patch
16. No EXTROM - simply unhide your current one with HTweakC and use it as storage space (another 10MB sweet)

Differences from Version 1.1 (READ THIS ALSO)

17. Removed PHM Registry Editor because 12. above has a built in Registry Editor
18. Major Boot Issues Resolved (thanks to the new version of dutty's ROM KOCH)
......NOTE: SPB pocket plus safe mode feature may cause problems (compatability issue with Wm6), if so Soft reset again and OS will load then uninstall Safe Mode from PocketPlus.
19. Cleaned Windows directory as much as possible removing rubbish/redundant files (SAVE STORAGE SPACE)
20. Compacted the ROM to its optimal size via use of tadzio's imgf tool chain
21. Because of 20, Windows Update was removed as the OS.nb is minimal and leaves no ROM room for updates via M$ (who needs this anyway, we are running hacked ROMS)
22. Cleaner Icon set for 3G/E/G/U etc.
23. Batti removed due to popular demand (its listed under optional apps below)
24. BBConnect & Goodlink Work (OS version HEX-edited to 5.1.195)
25. Softkey Manager
26. The funny green dialpad with white blank numbers issue is resolved (removed this crap)
27. Restored Remote Desktop link under Programs
28. Removed all alarm sounds except 1 and removed all ringtones except 3 standard ones. Users can copy across their own sounds (why have garbage when we can save ROM space)
29. Added WPA support with AES for WLAN
30. 3G Video Call option (please see list of optional applications). Video call was not embedded to save ROM space for people who do not use it.

Optional Applications for 1.2 (attached to this post)

1. WM VI Black Cyberon Voice Dial
2. WM VI Black Cyberon Voice Commander (taken from Dopod ROM) - this is similar to MS Voice Command except that it also reads emails
3. WM VI Black Batti 2.1 by David Andrš
4. WM VI Black VIDEO CALL Dialer with smart Dial
6. CWW Enterprises AUSraliat Operator Settings (walshieau)
5. Other applications/utils such as Windows Live or Pocket MSN etc can be found in the Wiki under cooked ROMS.

Well, this is probably the fastest and most compact WM6 Rom (in the presence of useful everyday tools that are added), We hope you enjoy it!!!

Known Issues to Date

1. Turn OFF Wifi option missing in popup bubble
2. Today background does not appear initially on the BLACK (WMBE) theme. You must reselect it in Settings\Today and then will show up properly. This is only work around at this.
3. My wife tells me to sleep on the sofa from now on (and she took my visa platinum)

----------------------------------------------------
Note: This upgrade also install SPL 1.13.Olipro Bootloader which is a must to prevent you from bricking your device in future. This SPL also eliminates Bad Blocks if you have them. A NEW BOOTLOADER SPLASH is also included. Your RADIO ROM is not touched, dont panic!

If you want the OS.nb only, extract it and flash it yourself (for advanced users only)

To install, run the (.exe). Then select the current bootloader you have. If you havent modified your BL (SPL), then the option you select should be SPL1.04-SPL1.09.

Disclaimer: NO warranties! LETS keep this thread clean and only post messages regarding v1.2.

SICK OF READING, then DOWNLOAD (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2N6SKZZK) ALREADY!!! If you already have v1.2 installed, you can install this update then restore your backup from SPB or the like.

[weinson]

Working great here to...

Installed to-date:


Goodlink
Cingular Keyboard Fix
Cyberon Voice Dial
Cingular Settings CAB
CommButton Toggle-Vibrate-Fix CAB
Bandswitch


Two quick questions/Issues:


How do I get the COM Button to toggle vibrate on/off? [Never Mind ... someone directed me to the "CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix" cab .. which works great]
Using "soft key manager" I can change what the soft keys activate, but they still read "calendar" and "activesync" .. any way to make that change? [never mind ... soft reset fixed that problem]

[festermania]

This file has reached its maximum allowable downloads.

Thx...
Now can download too

[easycure1974]

See Known Issues on the first post here. Maybe the Today background fix there is what you need?

Ben

No, that does not help

[avengerpenguin]

Does anyone have the cab to put the wifi status on the today screen

[whatledog]

WM5torage doesn't work on 1.2 on my 8525. I guess I'll go back to 1.1, in which it did, unless someone has a suggestion! Oh well...:(

[tugas2khas]

How do I get the COM Button to toggle vibrate on/off?


you have to install "CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix" somewhere in this forum... or download the attached cab...

[weinson]

Does anyone have the cab to put the wifi status on the today screen

Just use HTweak (which is installed with this ROM) to turn on the wireless display, then soft reset, and go into your today settings and add the "wireless" item... easy

[easycure1974]

I resolved my problem with the pink Pin input keys. Remember that I got the same after applying a fix for BE 1.1 - the one for cleaner looking 3g/Edge icons. Installing that made it pink.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1176124#post1176124

This fix in integrated in BE 1.2, perhaps that was is causing my pink keys. Copied the file in the old post to my windows directory and now it is nice looking again

[tugas2khas]

Does anyone have the cab to put the wifi status on the today screen

I think this can be enable using HTweakC provided in the rom... on Today Tweaks > Enable wireless plugin.

[ndcart]

For those of you looking for another download source, I've created a torrent that is hosted on Demonoid. Here is a link to the description and torrent. Enjoy!

HELP!!!! HELLPP!!!!..I am stuck at the 25% mark...and it ain't moving...

man...my heart stopped for 5 mins...
i soft reset my phone
and the rom upgrade program warned me of error and instructed me to remove my battery for 3 sec
and guess...what?? it was able to resolve the error itself!!!!
I think this must be the advantage of Hard SPL...
i am just so glad i don't have a new paperweight

[Bacco]

WOW...very fast. And, whomever said that about Black (not going back) was right :)

Great job guys.

[Halldor]

Anyone can post the main theme of this rom? (WMBE.tsk)


DITTO THAT! I liked the 1.1 THEME a lot. Can anyone post it?

Thanks for another great ROM. This one is FAST>>>>>

[mcsegeek]

Has anyone ever gotten this or the 1.1 version of this ROM working with Bluetooth PAN and Mac OS 10.4.9? I can't get it to work to save my life...and I'm getting pretty frustrated :(

When I attempt to run this (after downloading it to my laptop) I get a Hermes ROM Update Utility UPDATE ERROR that says: " the Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB Cradle/Cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone." I am sure that my cable is connected properly. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

[chamelion]

ok i'm moving to the dark side from LSVW's release :) lets see what all the hype is about. i never thought i'd be flashing my phone practically twice a week, but here i am!

Do you have the latest version of Activesync?
Goto SETTINGS then the CONNECTIONS TAB then USB to PC and remove the check mark that says Enable advanced network functionality. Might even want to soft reset after this and then try updating again.

What operating system are you running and have you had problems with activesync before?

[ausmoran]

Bacco,
Can you give me a hand? I just recently picked up the Hermes and am only familiar with upgrading the ROM on the JasJar. I don't think I have to go into Bootloader mode on the Hermes, do I? For some reason when I attempt to run the executible from my laptop, I get an error telling me that my USB cable is not connected (which it is). Can you give me any ideas on how to correct this?

Thanks

[macaw68]

Is it possible to fix the problem of only wave file can be used for alarm and sms tones?

[bsshoomez]

Hey --- this release doesnt have office in it?

[weinson]

It was worth the wait ... got to say this new ROM is fast fast fast (I upgraded from WM5 just now) and so far so good in terms of stability. I am keeping things lean at the moment in terms of new app installs, but since my goodlink is back up and running I am content for the moment. Wifi seems to be working fine, as well as my connectivity to the Cingular network.

There is no going back ... thanks to all the cooks in the kitchen.

[weinson]

Yes it does -- it is under the windows drop down menu [second item] ... took me a bit to figure that out too

Hey --- this release doesnt have office in it?

[nawu]

[mnice]

version 1.2 did not fix SPB pocket plus issue. I am on 3rd flash still no go. back to lsvw.

my problems with SPB Finance was solved with v1.2. Needed to do couple of soft-resets after install but now its working like charm!

fcking great! :D

--edit

well...its not working after all. I had to uninstall. Phone was more or less unstable and for a while it was responsive... oh well...

[Pc78]

As I cannot make my Vista USB drivers working properly for upgrade from Vista...could this version be upgraded from the SD card too?...anyone tried?

I just enabled some tweaks and when I soft reset my device it would hang on the boot screen. So I unplugged the sync cable from my device and then it started. Few minutes later I had the headphones (original) plugged in and enabled another tweak and it hung again. I got a hunch that it might be due to the micro USB port on the phone being in use. So I soft reset the device 4 times while it was plugged in and it would not boot. So I unplugged the headphones and all is fine. Thought this might help others who are having booting issues.

[chamelion]

just installed a bunch of software and have been watching this thing boot for 5 mins... never happened like this before. hopefully it'll speed up a bit once everything is set up and configured!

Interesting! Mine boots with and without it being plugged into the laptop and/or headphones.

same problem here

[bsshoomez]

Is there a way to get the Cingular Network settings via a CAB file? I know a while ago if you called them why would SMS/MMS you a CAB file with the data settings - just a stright install.

Anyone happen to have it?

This ain't the place to ask such a question. Search there quite a few of them out there...

[chamelion]

crap i just saw the info on SBP pocket plus. i take it then that this version still does not support it...

what ar emy options? does the safe mode trick work, or should i just go back to the more stable LSVW version?

Actually, I believe SPB does not support this version.

[chamelion]

crap. back to LSVW i guess. this one looks so cool though :(

[DanielS]

Many thanx to the cooks downunder. - was in Melbourne last week ;) hope you have lot's of booze with the cooking. ;)

[eagercrow]

for the people who like a nice black dailer skin

Thanks!!!

This version is awesome! Was really fast till I started loading stuff on it, still faster then WM5.

oh and SPB works perfectly!

edit after writing tis I see some of you are having SPB problems. I'm using the latest version of PP and I uninstalled the safe mode boot. So far I've installed and tested SPB weather, diary, and PP. I've also installed Resco tools. Now I have uninstalled some of these, but they all worked at the same time.

The only issue that I have is that I forgot to save my sounds from before, that's me being a moron, not the cooks fault

[hiroshi.rio]

With Spb Pocket Plus:

When press n hold "X" button, characters' color on menu are white (and the menu too). Then, only can see the icons, not the description...

The same problem with Wisbar Adv. Some themes has the same color of the spb's menus characters...

Changed the theme resolve it, but black rox... :rolleyes: :cool:

[jasjamming]

version 1.2 did not fix SPB pocket plus issue. I am on 3rd flash still no go.

back to lsvw.


remove SAFE MODE from pocket plus and it will end up being fine. its a compatability problem with pocket plus and wm6.

[Pc78]

Have installed from SD card withouth problems...so vista users just go ahead ;)

[chamelion]

for those of you who got pocket plus to work: what version/build do you have?
also, have you tried rebooting and have it work?

[weinson]

I decided to try to install Yahoo Go! (beta) to see what would happen ... installs fine and gets my mail, but when I try to open a message, I just see a blank white screen.

Anyone get this to work on WM6? I know folks don't like Yahoo Go!, but I did appreciate getting my Yahoo mail on my PDA without paying for some Yahoo premium service.

[jasjamming]

for those of you who got pocket plus to work: what version/build do you have?
also, have you tried rebooting and have it work?

Latest version downloaded TODAY from SPB website (and removed SAFE MODE)

booting like a charm, no issues.

[hiroshi.rio]

for those of you who got pocket plus to work: what version/build do you have?

I'm using Spb Pocket Plus 3.2.0 Build 5561 (english) and works fine.

The only problem was what I posted before bout character's black theme and Spb Pocket "X"s menu.

Working fine too: Spb Time, Weather, Back up and skin (Spb silver theme).

[chamelion]

awesome!! i got sbp to work... just downloaded the latest version and disabled safe mode. i must've had a very outdated version or something.

system booted up in a more reasonable time now :)

phew! guess i'll give black a little more of a chance :)

[iamcocoy]

how do i make the the date on today's screen to use 1 line instead of 2?

[bp423]

The beta version included the PTT application. Is it still included in the ROM?

[macaw68]

for those who were having problems with the ringtones. place the files in the my ringtones folder under my documents instead of the standard windows\rings folder. it will support mp3, wma and wav files

[CUSTEL]

The beta version included the PTT application. Is it still included in the ROM?
no it is not

[weinson]

OK, after all the encouragement on this thread I went ahead and installed my spb pocket plus (turned off safe mode -- have the most recent version) but when I soft reset was stuck on the Windows Mobile VI splash screen page for about 2 minutes... aargh.

Once I finally was up and running, it was like dragging through molasses.

So,

First, I opened spb Pocket Plus and uninstalled the safe mode component (just to be safe)

Next, I went to task manager and turned of the x-button functionality (in case it was conflicting with the same functionality available in spb Pocket Plus)

And finally, I made sure to choose a spb theme for my today screen (in case spb was hanging up using one of the custom wm6 themes)

At any rate, now spb Pocket Plus sometimes works. Sometimes I can soft reset and get up and running without a problem, and other times I am stuck in the 2 minute startup to molasses process.

Any thoughts?

[siemens_sx66]

I downloaded and installed 1.2 (I also have Radio 1.38.00.10)

I don't know if this is an issue with WM6 or not. I went to this from the shipped rom.

I have a Cingular 8525, and I can't seem to make the keyboard light up like it used to under WM 5.

Also I cannot write to the extended_rom directory still. I might have to run an additional unlock tool, as I have used the HTweakC2.1 app and it is still locked.

I can't say if it is faster or slower. I think one thing that tends to slow down the pocket pc is SpbPocketPlus (which I haven't installed again). Under WM5 it definitely slowed down my device.

lights up fine for me on my 8525, when is it that the backlight doesn't come on?

[bp423]

no it is not
Why was it removed?

[jcb_home]

OK Great news for me that is :-)

Just finished loading new ROM and loading all my software on it. Had a few problems with my Garmin Que running. Fixed that not my little baby is running great.

THANKJS for the new rom.

[CUSTEL]

Why was it removed?
Don't know, but I don't have ptt functionality with my 8525 and this rom, when I press the ptt button I get, "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename."

[dutty]

congrats on your second release. good job!

[walshieau]

Guys,
I hate to put a dampener on ppl parades but can we keep the posting in this thread to issues and requests only... i cant keep up with 15 pages per day :p

[siemens_sx66]

Ok it lights up now. I don't know what is different, maybe it's because I ran the ShortString_Keypad_XML.cab. I didn't do anything different except unplug it and plug it back in. It didn't light up at first, but seems to work properly now.

Also I haven't had any issues with it hanging on bootup with something connected. I use the "Y" adapter all the time and haven't noticed any issues.

[wundis]

hehe :)
fabulous
took me less than 10 mins to get it up and running. first impressions - wow :) :p
nice work, fast, responsive, well see how stable it is.

[siemens_sx66]

Don't know, but I don't have ptt functionality with my 8525 and this rom, when I press the ptt button I get, "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename."

I have the buttons mapped (Button 5) and they work fine. I don't have PTT installed though, just wanted to be able to use the button.

[nawu]

Don't know, but I don't have ptt functionality with my 8525 and this rom, when I press the ptt button I get, "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename."

It will be released in a seperate V1.2 PTT Edition rom.

There is a seperate V1.2 PTT thread as well

6. y is the pin dialer pink - issue will be fixed in the next release

4. blacklight dont work - yes it does...

LOL that was funny...

[weinson]

Well, my spb pocket plus screwed me so bad I had to do a hard reset to get up and running again! I had the safe mode off (and in fact uninstalled) and the latest version ... just totally crapped my machine. When I uninstalled it I was still messed up (totally slow response times, 2+ minutes to soft reset) so finally gave up, hard reset, and am back in business.

The backlight is using the light sensor. Under WM5 I was able to force it to ignore that. How can I do that with this rom?

Thanks!

Not sure if you are saying you are running both, but you should never use two task manager programs at the same time... so wisbar and x-button/spb both trying to close programs or run features on the close (x) will cause problems.

Yeah .. got to say as I was re-installing my various cabs after the hard reset I was looking forward to trying out WXML 0.3 when it comes out with the nifty auto reinstall of cabs feature.

I do love this v1.2 however ..... there may be no going back from black (not that I won't sample the other flavors just to be sure)

my exchange mail isn't being pushed to my 8525 either, believe I saw that earlier in the thread.

Well, this WAS my favorite flavor of WM6. Was until I rebooted, that is. Prior to a soft reset, this sucker smoked! I guess my problem is Pocket Plus related, as others have mentioned. But, I disabled Safe Mode prior to reset and my phone has the problem. From power on to usable state takes about 30 minutes - if I'm lucky.

I hope to be able to get AS to talk to this sucker so I can head back to another version.

I don't have anything on this phone except the latest versions of spb Pocket Plus and Weather. Other than those - all stock.

[jasjamming]

OK, this is the procedure i followed to get SPB to boot normal.

1. install pcoket plus (latest version)
2. Reset your device
3. Now uninstall Safe Mode
4. Then reboot.

You will notice that with safe mode, sometimes the popup safe mode screen doesnt show on some boots (spb compatability issue). Therefore removing it will work.

Ok, the downside to this ROM's midlet manager is that I can't seem to let Gmail use the network without it asking if it can use the network for each transaction.

If I remember correctly there were settings for java apps in the WM5 midlet manager, now I just have the "Menu" available, even if an app is selected. On a positive note, it is faster.

I went back to using IBM's java because of the inability to make gmail "trusted". What happened to the "Actions" softkey for the default midlet?

Capture.png is the default midlet manager
capture2.jpg is the ibm midlet

Thanks!

Ok camera problem fixed seem to be a problem with the o2plus software once that was uninstalled the camera worked fine.. New issue though noticed my voice mail notification was on check my messages and I have none, but the icon on the top of the screen won't go away. Seem to remember reading about this somewhere with a fix going to search now.



Edit: Seems that there is not a fix but it has been reported. Don't think it has to do with WM6 though.

[siemens_sx66]

FYI:
Something strange, not really a bug.

When I went to speed dial for the first time (and contacts wasn't running) the contact list took a very long time to populate (I thought it was wiped out).

Now even after I make sure that the contacts are not running, when I add additional speed dials, they come up quickly.

[eagercrow]

I'm using cingular's xpress mail and whenever I do a send/receive I receive the message "You are currently roaming. Synchronizing may result in additional charges"

This never happened before and is quite annoying. I'm not roaming. I'm on the edge network and I'm connected through medianet. I have not yet searched, but it there some way around this message?

I did a stylus reset after installing and never really got to point 4, reboot.

But now, even after uninstalling pocket plus, the device has been extremely slow. Guess hard reset is the next level on the task list.

So, I uninstalled the Microsoft network driver for the 8525. After it reinstalled it's self it works.

Firstly first rom I've installed over the shipped one, went on like a dream.
Except i installed the carbon cab. which had a funny logo under call history (video call I now know) when I reset I now have the standard HTC dialer with no keys except the video call button! HELP!! Please!?

Tried putting the video calling one over the top, gives a funny greyscale background with very basic looks?

don't know if that helps but I got hermes300 mda vario ii from Polish provider Era (corresponding to T-Mobile)

[jasjamming]

welcome to xda-devs

you should have done some reading first before changing dialer skins.
some wm5 dialers wont work on wm6 due to the NEW smartdial in WM6.

This ROM doesnt contain the WM5 smart dialer. it has been removed to save storage space therefore only leaving the wm6 smart dialer.

so if you want to install wm5 3g skins u will also need to install the wm5dialer too. Time for you to do some literature review.

[weinson]

Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet, thought I would pass along that I installed google maps on this ROM without a problem... it is working great.

[naydonov]

I figured out the problem. After using Internet Connection Sharing windows wanted to only recognize my device as a Network Device, even though the internet sharing was closed and the device and computer had been reset.

So, I uninstalled the Microsoft network driver for the 8525. After it reinstalled it's self it works.

I have exactly same problem with Vista and HTC 2.11 ROM (not WM6). So i ended up with uninstalling the Network Card ( virtual which gets created every time i plug my phone to the USB) and its OK now. But it is very annoying that i have to do it every time when i want to use ICS.

well then email HTC or Microsoft and tell them u have found a bug...:)

[eagle 1]

well then email HTC or Microsoft and tell them u have found a bug...:)

Yes, Microsoft must be aware of this issue, because in their troubleshooting guide for WMDC and vista, this is one of the steps that they advise doing to get wmdc to sync. But it certainly wouldn't hurt for more people to let them know this is happening all the time...

[Newb-Tech-Realtor]

Can you let us know if the differences are enough to warrant reflashing from LVSW after you've had a play with it?

I reloaded all of my software and everything seems to be working fine.

I've added:

PTTfix
vibra (switch)
SPB Mobile Shell
Agile Messenger
a mortgage calculator
Palm SMS

Everything seems to be working A OK.

The only thing that I am trying to fix now is the dialer pad. I like the old style keypad without the smart dial above it. I also liked the softkey for contacts on the dialer screen.

In my opinion YES IT IS WORTH IT. It has built in stuff that was not with LVSW. It has the HTweak built in and alot of nice bonuses, like the flashlight, screen brightener, regedit and others.

I'm lovin' it.

Oh, I am on SPB pocket plus too many time....

It will seems to work for few reset...then.... just install the POCKET PLUS as you indicated and run few time and install few applications, then you will have the result....

did you check the button assignment??

did you check the button assignment??

I assigned Button 5 (press & hold) to "Record", close, soft reset.
Then I press & hold button 5, error message " The file " cannot be opened. Either it is not signed...."

welcome to xda-devs

you should have done some reading first before changing dialer skins.
some wm5 dialers wont work on wm6 due to the NEW smartdial in WM6.

[Oppressa]

stop being lazy...

and read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1180792&postcount=1

that shows the differences and performance and available storage memory...

I have read the entire thread and I know the specs of the new release but I want to know the real world differences compared to LVSW. Specs don't tell you if it 'seems faster' which is what I wanted to know from a user who had been using the same ROM as me.
I was talking to Newb-Tech-Realtor anyway.

...for all your hard work guys.

Could someone post a link with the "Palm Sms" cab?

[Oppressa]

I reloaded all of my software and everything seems to be working fine.

I've added:

PTTfix
vibra (switch)
SPB Mobile Shell
Agile Messenger
a mortgage calculator
Palm SMS

Everything seems to be working A OK.

The only thing that I am trying to fix now is the dialer pad. I like the old style keypad without the smart dial above it. I also liked the softkey for contacts on the dialer screen.

In my opinion YES IT IS WORTH IT. It has built in stuff that was not with LVSW. It has the HTweak built in and alot of nice bonuses, like the flashlight, screen brightener, regedit and others.

I'm lovin' it.

Jim

Thanks man, appreciate it :D

Hi, im new to this so im not sure how to do it so im posing to ask you guys, Do i just plug in my fone to the USB cable and open the .exe file and follow the on screen info to upgrade ti WM6?

Or do i have to push the power and the ok button and soft reset it to that menu in order to upgrade?

In all fairness guy, go read the Wiki.
You could technically brick your phone if you are not sure what to do and you are not going to get a detail enough explanation by a simple post.

v1.2 still has the PIN entry screen with the grey/pink color scheme. Attached is a replacement for this that makes this screen look more WMBE appropriate.

Just unzip and copy to \Windows and soft reset (may want to backup the existing .dll first).

Other than this, I think v1.2 is by far the best WM6 ROM I've tried yet.

Thanks for this agentdr8,
The reason why we used the dll in the release was that it provided a nicer/cleaner 3G/H/E/G icons on the top bar. We thought it was a good tradeoff as you will only see the pin entry pad not so often.

thanks,

After waiting all day so I can download the new version. I have finally got it.
Guys this is a really good rom. SPB still sucks but that is a SPB prob and I can live without it until they patch it. The video dialler looks terrible. Did I miss something??? Anyway I have removed it via HTweakC.

Check paypal in a few minutes you have some beers comin at ya!!! ;)

Finally got around to installing it and is nice.

Thanks very much for all the work guys.

Had an issue with Microsoft Reader, after install the phone hung at the initial t-mobile screen and I eventually had to do a hard reset. Going to do the install again later to see if it hangs again.

There is a T-Mobile screen where it displays the radio rom and other info initially at boot, then it goes to the black OS splash screen. The point where it usually tanks if the radio rom is screwed up?

I installed it on mine and it went smooth and everything seem to be working fine but I keep getting a prompt asking me to join some survey feedback group with Microsoft but of course I select option "Do not leave feedback" however it would prompt me again sometime later on which I have repeat the step to get rid of it.

Any idea how to stop it prompting me to join the Microsoft feedback group?

Yes I have now installed it and used it. There is a couple of issues. The optus mms settings I had to change to so they would work. Basically I set server name to Optus MMS. Gateway to 61.88.190.10. Server Address to http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002. Connect via Optus MMS and it worked. The original settings would not send mms. The next thing I notice is that when I use the Optus Internet to connect for web browsing it works but when I close the browser it stay connected to gprs.

This last one could be a user problem :) as I normally just use wifi for browsing.

Still very cool. :D

Done, it. Reader seems to be okay now, I also have resco explorer 2005 v5.40 with all the bits installed and it all runs fine, as does TCPMP (although not with the ATI option, raw frame buffer only) and google maps.

The only niggle I have now is that I cant figure out how to run the t-mobile customizations from the extended rom and the windows directory, but thats nothing to do with the rom I just cant figure out how to make the damn pre-config.exe files run. Although I can run the cabs individually I cant use the xml files.

I installed the BE 1.2 and so far there 2 question I have.

One is that vibrating works great on text message etc but only seem to be several quick short pulses and on old WM5 it was one long pulse.

Is there a way to change this back to the old way? (I am deaf and depend on vibrating to alert me of new text or emails or incoming instant messagings) becasue I seem can't really feel the quick short pulse when my 8525 is in my pocket or barely felt it.


Also I have an account with mail2web.com and I set up activesync on WM6 the same way I have set on the WM5 but it doesn't seem to be pushing email to my WM6 however the contacts list syncs fine and all the contacts appeared on my WM6 after I had set up but not the emails. I have checked mail2web.com online and there are new emails sitting on it but still not pushed to my 8525. Is there new additional setting to make it work on WM6 I may have missed?


Thank you
Bill
