why this rom?
it´s based on a totally different build than jas jammings and lvsws. this build has never been public before.
it´s the fastest available, i haven´t run any benchmarks yet but those that use it say it´s the fastest.

as you might have noticed already, it will come in 2 flavours: freeware only and including shareware (pocket music and real calculator) for those of you that got/like these apps.

[ahlok_hk]

Great! Can't wait to try the new build! :)

[mrvanx]

Wiki page (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Dutty_WM6) provisioned for this. ;) looking good dutty!

[VivaErBetis]

I remember that this Space Invaders version is unplayable under Hermes cause when you advance it gets more and more quickier and controls doesn't runs.

The ROM seems to be really fantastic but I want to know the real build number :)

[chymmylt]

Sweet Hoopaly Moopaly - Can it be that Dutty is Getting in the WM6 release game??? :D - I can not wait!!! Great work and I look forward to giving 'er a run!!!

[dutty]

yeah, that happens sometimes when soud is enabled in space invaders.. but you normally have that disabled.. as the space invaders sound is more of a nosie :)


btw, do you have any last-minute wishes or request for good, lightweight applications to be included? and damnit, check out the new explorer ;)

[joedoe]

Would it be possible to disclose a real WM6 build number?

[VivaErBetis]

Oh my God, the Space Invaders without the annyoning sound isn't Space Invaders.

I'm waiting for the ROM to test it :D

[Penske MB]

sounds really good if build # enclosed will be nice

[lpsi2000]

it looks interesting and I am also curious on the base build number. It might be a real long weekend with no sleep.

Great job dutty.

[chymmylt]

btw, do you have any last-minute wishes or request for good, lightweight applications to be included? and damnit, check out the new explorer ;)

Do you have a good RegEdit included? (I usually use the one built into TaskMgr but I donno if there's better free ones). I also often use Total Commander - haven't tried the new File Explorer you've inculded - maybe it's just as good (better) or at least does the things that MS's File Explorer doesn't that I need. :) These are all nice and easy enough for me to install - just mentioning them because other people might want them.

Other then that - I like the Hearts game that WMXL includes but I have no idea where to find that other then in that Rom (if anybody has a link I'd love to get it!)

Now all I need to do is make a damned cab that I can run to put my Name/Address/Phone/E-Mail back into the personal info on the phone - I'm reinstalling these roms way to frequently and it get's anonoying to have to keep putting it in time and again! :)

[joedoe]

Can you replace Voice Dialer with Voice Commander? The cab is available as an add-on on this forum.

Me has caído bien. Here it is.

Tell me if it doesn't run because I got a cab with some shared sounds that may be missing...

[chymmylt]

SWEET! Trying it now!!! :)

EDIT:
Thanks - Installs and plays well - missing the sounds as you said (just plays the default beep instead) but that's no biggy! Thanks again!

[austinsnyc]

Thank you!! I hope this thread does not become corrupted like the other with issues that can be solved by reading! I honestly can't wait to try this ROM out it looks GREAT please hurry..:D

[VivaErBetis]

It can be fixed: install this cab.

This happens because Hearts is part of a pack and some games shares some sounds.

if you can give me the cab with the sounds i´ll include it in the rom..
if you got more small games/tools i´d love to include them, would be cool if they´re < 100kb tho..

i haven´t got a registry editior included as i thought it would of no use for the majority of people..

btw; update screenshot with VOIP- added VOIP capabilities :) reload the page :P

The cab with sounds is one post above yours :)

In fact, the pack includes these microsoft mini-games:

Blackjack.cab ...................... Blackjack
Chess.cab .......................... Chess
Cinco.cab .......................... Cinco
Freecell.cab ....................... Freecell
Hearts.cab ......................... Hearts
Minesweeper.cab .................... Minesweeper
Reversi.cab ........................ Reversi
Sink The Ships.cab ................. Sink The Ships
Space Defense.cab .................. Space Defense
Taipei.cab ......................... Taipei

But I don't know if all of them are shareware or not.

It's not as purdy as the one in Vista but it plays Freecell just as well :D

Space Defense.cab .................. Space Defense
Taipei.cab ......................... Taipei

But I don't know if all of them are shareware or not.

The only reason I'd lean to say they were is that the Hearts game was included in WMXL and he was pretty clear he only wanted to include free/shareware so I think they should be good though i don't know more then you do

[Murcielago]

Another reason not to go to sleep.... or to party..... you're ruining my social life guys :) :) :) But I'm really happy about it.
Can't wait to get this one... The tetris is so good looking :)

Hey dutty,
Let's not overload this ROM with games and tools :D, I would like to use my 2 GB Storage Card. Anyway, hopefully it would come in two flavors (one with games and tools, and the other with just fixes and a few tools.).

Keep up the great work.

[dutty]

it´s not only good looking, it´s got a couple of different gametypes, online scores etc.
thanks for the cabs guys.. which games do you want included?

[chymmylt]

Oh here's the TaskMgr I use (I think it's also built into a couple roms here). It's pretty nice - has lots of features built in (including regedit). You don't have to use it but thought I'd put it out there incase you hadn't included it and were looking for something of the sort :) There's no install - just run the exe! :D

[VivaErBetis]

I'm pretty sure that it will be shareware (at least, them are out of sell now) cause them comes with my old Compaq and are really old. So, here they are, for your viewing plasure. but I think that the ROM will contain as less as possible to achieve free storage.

[pello]

[chymmylt]

I like the tetris you have - hearts that have been posted. The freecell I posted is known freeware and works fine but the MS version that Viva has quite possibly might look better (I don't image game play of Freecell changes much) - haven't tried it. I also often play the MS Cubical Caos which is a purdy breakout clone from MS. I think it's kind of large in size which is why I haven't suggested it. Too bad Age of the Empires doesn't run on the Hermes (and isn't free either - it came with my HP 4155 and I used to play it for ages).

[Murcielago]

Thanks everyone for the cabs
And still can't wait to get this ROM... :)

[chymmylt]

Just installed the freecell included in the Old MS games pack and it is very similar to the one I've included plus is a little smaller. If you include Freecell, you might as well use the MS one since it shares sounds with the other games in that pack!

[pello]

Isn't it better to post all the cabs seperately? Because all of'em can be installed on storage card to save main memory and everybody can decide, to install or not...

[pvs]

FWIW, I would agree totally!

And, this looks REALLY nice, Dutty. R E A L L Y nice! I just upp'ed to Black 2.0, but this looks very intriguing! I'll be watching this thread, definitely!

Thank you so much!

-pvs

[lpsi2000]

@dutty,

As usual I would quickly go through the posts then come back to read them more carefully. I just realize you mentioned Koch v2.:cool: Wow, it could turn out to be a very interesting weekend, cooking over night and all day for easter.:D

[chymmylt]

FWIW, I would agree totally!

-pvs

I generally agree - I enjoy uncluttered roms myself (so I can then clutter them myself!). However, this is Dutty's cake he's cooking and he'll use what ingredience he wants - if you don't like Pineapple - don't eat the cake! I posted the games I use because he asked - if he installs them great (saves me the install) if he doesn't no biggy - only takes me a minute to reinstall the games I use! :)

I do fear that the cooks get turned off when too many people start telling them what they should/n't use in their rom. If they ask for opinions give them. If you have a suggestion that hasn't been made already suggest it. But when everybody starts going crazy - what's the phrase, too many cooks spoil the rom? :D

Just my 3 cents worth (I know - that's 50% more then I should be giving!)

[daedalia]

I was under the impression as well as many others that CE 6 was going to be WM7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile

Also what is with the rather nicely rounded & high build number?

Forgive my cynacism but what is the real OS & build number?

[tylr]

Dutty -

Looks like your picture got pulled.

Looking forward to the ROM.

[dutty]

the real build number is a little lower then whats currently out..
but i still like to release this rom as it´s really snappy and no show stopper has been found (yet).

if i notice that there is a show stopper i could port my whole rom to another base within a few hours.

apps i cook are generally really small, like freecell - it´s like 50kb, thats not really eating up storage space.
i mainly started this rom to test the koch v2, but it´s become a really great rom :)

image link fixed :)

I'd not worry about the build number too much, no doubt HTC have farted around with it. I quite like the ROM though, good to hear the HTC dll's are working with it now :D

[fun_key]

This is a very good news, as always, as I setuped the black 2.0 i thought that it was the last time I would flash my device... but as always, no!

I will really enjoy testing your work!

[dutty]

ok :)

i´ve included freecell, hearts and the task manager.. this is really a small and powerful tool... i´ve used it a couple of times now..

anything more?

[austinsnyc]

Nope please Just upload this so we can start downloading it and playing and testing all night so are wifes can bitch and we can sleep on the couch..:D :D
Like what was mentioned before it would probably be best if you gave us lots of Memory space and let us choose what apps to install. It's your ROM though and I will be happy with what I get since I'm sure its going to be great! Hopefully this will fix the memory issue most other WM6 ROM's have.. Fingers crossed..

[lpsi2000]

ok :)

i´ve included freecell, hearts and the task manager.. this is really a small and powerful tool... i´ve used it a couple of times now..

Is the kitchen coming out soon too. I would like to play with Kitchen a bit.

[VivaErBetis]

ok :)

Did you put all the links for Task Manager? I can give you them if not.

[dutty]

Is the kitchen coming out soon too. I would like to play with Kitchen a bit.
yea.. it´ll be released soon ;) i have to prepare it for a release, fix some smaller glitches and then it´s set.. i will be looking for cookers/testers in a few days or maybe next week.. i´ll announce it then :)

vivaerbertis, what links?

oh and, because of the smaller page pool.. and removed SQM services the default free ram is about 30mb which is higher than default i think.
free storage space is 45mb i think, but i´m not toooo sure about that right now as my device is beeing flashed right now :D

[guapinoy]

*cough* dutty *cough* testing is my middle name ;)

[VivaErBetis]

yea.. it´ll be released soon ;) i have to prepare it for a release, fix some smaller glitches and then it´s set.. i will be looking for cookers/testers in a few days or maybe next week.. i´ll announce it then :)

vivaerbertis, what links?
Open Task Manager.
Select "Menu -> Create Pgm Shortcuts"
Then select "Menu-> Create RegEdit Shortcut"
Close Task Manager.

The shorcuts will be created in "Programs->System" and are:
- Task Manager
- TM Minimized
- RegEdit
- Suspend PPC
- Reset PPC (no more stylus soft resets!)

Move them where you want.

And I can betatest it, if you mind :)

[jcespi2005]

it´s not only good looking, it´s got a couple of different gametypes, online scores etc.
thanks for the cabs guys.. which games do you want included?

This ROM will be the "most playable" ROM :)

Wath about M$ Flight Simulator? i love simulators games...... :D

Thanks for the work..

[Midget_1990]

dutty: just a suggestion.

stick all the files in the rom by all means, (i assume you know not to copy them with initflashfiles.dat adn to use them from the windows dir) but leave the shortcuts out and have them as optional cab files to 'enable them'.

that way you keep everyone happy: both those who want a clean rom and those who want all the bits and bobs :)

[chymmylt]

ok :)

i´ve included freecell, hearts and the task manager.. this is really a small and powerful tool... i´ve used it a couple of times now..

TomTom6 with maps of the entire world? :D - Just Kidding! No, can't think of anything! I'm looking forward to the release rom!

Thanks!

lol midget... that doesnt make sense... i´d rather release 3 flavours...

shareware > freeware > basic( only important apps like explorer, acrobat and java )

[dutty]

the zip file you posted is damaged :(
(msveryoldgames.zip) i´ll try to redownload it..

[crazyC]

Just a quick request for the Orange UK voicemail fix to be considered, if it is still an issue with this ROM.

[chymmylt]

the zip file you posted is damaged :(
(msveryoldgames.zip) i´ll try to redownload it..

Worked fine for me - if you need I can reupload it, or within there are individual cabs for each game - I can upload those seperate if it's better.

[VivaErBetis]

the zip file you posted is damaged :(
(msveryoldgames.zip) i´ll try to redownload it..
It's this f**cking forum. Please, redownload it again. If it doesn't run, I will post it again.

[lpsi2000]

lol midget... that doesnt make sense... i´d rather release 3 flavours...

shareware > freeware > basic( only important apps like explorer, acrobat and java )

Agreed, okay I am all set ready to flash or cook which ever come out first :D

[lpsi2000]

the zip file you posted is damaged :(
(msveryoldgames.zip) i´ll try to redownload it..

dutty,
Try it again, because it worked for me and I only dowloaded it once.

[lpsi2000]

@dutty,
I am glad you are getting a smile at that comment, because that is those remarks that normally get people up.... Please don't let any of this discourage the work because I know in many ways you guys have improve my knowledge with these devices.

Keep it coming:D

[dutty]

Man...give us some evidnece, that all builds are based on vanilla...othewise stfu.
i´ll give oyu some prove that builds are different, it´s easier :)

ok i used the file gwes.exe (the window handler of windows ce ) as comparision because i am sure they often change that file.
file#1 is lvsw 26th march and file#2 is obviously my unreleased rom.
i compared the first xip stream (file is attached)

here is a part of the xip imageinfo from lvsw:
Module name: gwes.exe
e32_objcnt: 00000004
e32_imageflags: 0000012F
e32_entryrva: 000070EC
e32_vbase: 00010000
e32_subsysmajor: 00000005
e32_subsysminor: 00000002
e32_stackmax: 00010000
e32_vsize: 000FA000

here is it from my rom:

Module name: gwes.exe
e32_objcnt: 00000004
e32_imageflags: 0000012F
e32_entryrva: 0000709C
e32_vbase: 00010000
e32_subsysmajor: 00000005
e32_subsysminor: 00000002
e32_stackmax: 00010000
e32_vsize: 000F9000


i´m sure you´ll be asking yourself now, why is he doing this?
i just like to smack some facts in your n00bish wannabe, know-it-all troll face :)

I love that " not feeling like that "

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooool

you are sweet

Enjoy the new built Guys

now i hope you will never ever open your mouth again :D

Mobile Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Dude - I totally want that! In fact I might have to cook a rom of myself just so I can call it that! I will ofcourse have to redo the file explorer and a make 8bit icons for everything. Hope y'all still know how to edit a .pif!!!

[VivaErBetis]

I want "COMMAND.COM" on my mobile!!!

[chymmylt]

I want "COMMAND.COM" on my mobile!!!

Well you gotta have that - what good would progman.exe be if you couldn't launch COMMAND.COM from it?

[pello]

Well we will all be happy to believe you. Once Dutty has release his rom, please do enlighten us with HARD PROOF that it is from the same build as LSVW, Vanilla and Black. I don't see how you can make such accusations when he has not even released the file yet!

He thinks, that ALL BUILDS (LVSW, BLACK, WMXL...) are based on the Vanilla build...not only dutty's...

[walshieau]

And if memory serves, the second release of WMXL was based of a rom other then vanilla (though still beta).

wrong again... :P was based on vanilla ;)

[jnfjsf]

I'll just say that there are some brave people with bloodshot eyes sitting for endless hours trying to improve what M$ leaks, and then actually releasing their children back into the wild.

I try myself, but I don't have the guts to put something up for fear my work will destroy more than just my phone (haven't fried it yet, but I'm trying).

What does it matter, the build number? If the build works, doesn't fry the phone, receives calls, and does all the other groovy stuff that these god-scratch that, HTC-forsaken machines do...

...then YAY DUTTY.

He's already contributed a GREAT deal to this entire website with his knowledge of how our HTC-forsaken machines work with our Microsoft-forsaken OS.

Why cause trouble? Why create tension?

We're all playing here, and this swingset is for everyone...

[chymmylt]

wrong again... :P was based on vanilla ;)

I stand corrected. I thought he had a rom that was leaked to him that he was working on but didn't want to release because it had traces to who leaked it so when Vanilla was released he moved his mods over to it and released the first release but after that, a number of builds had been leaked and he got the go ahead it was ok to use his first rom so he used it for the second release.

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

but maybe there was something I was missing :) No biggy - I'm not known to be the smartest guy in the room (and I live alone)

[slpro]

So, this thread is about dutty´s rom or is going elsewhere?

Peace!

[mrvanx]

So, this thread is about dutty´s rom or is going elsewhere?

Peace!

apart from the trolling........yes this is about dutty's new ROM. The ROM should be released as soon as dutty gets it hosted. Its looking great so far :D

Yes, i know. Just kidding a bit!
Going now on my endless reading...
Greetings from Portugal!

[dutty]

i´ll release it in a few hours.. just noticed that this wireless-today plugin is really causing the system to slow down.. i´ll disable it by default..

[shogunmark]

@shafez
... this rom is not what you think.. i can verify the original source it came from and its exactly what everyone else is trying to tell you it is... i have recieved complaints from other members about your behavior here... cut the sh!t out unless you know what you are talking about.


everyone else.. im going to delete all the threads that have to do with this..

[pello]

Before the first aku3.3 build was released my hermes was a piece of crap. Very slow and full of bugs. Now, it is nearly perfect and it is getting better and better. i don't understand why some people don't appreciate the work of all the experts here in the forum. without them i would have sold my hermes to buy another device. Kyphur, lvsw, oli, dutty, des, jasJamming and all other members of xda-devs....thnx for your hard work. i love it....

[jaza45]

suscribing

[MaRaHoX]

The same view as pello! Thnx

[J-Man5]

yeah, that happens sometimes when soud is enabled in space invaders.. but you normally have that disabled.. as the space invaders sound is more of a nosie :)


btw, do you have any last-minute wishes or request for good, lightweight applications to be included? and damnit, check out the new explorer ;)

How about StopTime and MagicButton and also Total Commander?

Me likes the new explorer.

J-Man5

[dutty]

J-Man5
stoptime?
magicbutton is not necessary, the HTC x-button app is included.
totalcommand is also not that important, the new explorer is functionwise and GUI wise better. the missing registry feature is not that bad because we have the taskman, that comes with a very good regedit! besides resco regedit it´s the only regeditor that can import regfiles :)

[shogunmark]

thread has been edited... now, lets keep this on topic and everyone place nice.....

[TheLuggs]

Hard time not to flame shafez... but what to do about a old man that claims he's 44 and acts like a 4yo.... I am wondering what great contributions he has made. Where can I find his totally original rom images ? Perhaps a bug report ? Even a helpfull sugestion ?

Anyway intresting stuff for in a rom image:
I like InClose mobile as a taskmanager.
Task+ and agenda+ are nice improvements on de standard today plugins
although i tend to go for pocketbreeze
as mentioned by others total comander is a very nice explorer / reg editor

I forgot to mention batti :)

[J-Man5]

stoptime?
magicbutton is not necessary, the HTC x-button app is included.
totalcommand is also not that important, the new explorer is functionwise and GUI wise better. the missing registry feature is not that bad because we have the taskman, that comes with a very good regedit! besides resco regedit it´s the only regeditor that can import regfiles :)

StopTime - http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/

I personally like Magic Button as I use it to switch between apps. And it has the very nice battery indicator as a line at the top of the screen in all apps. It my opinion that Magic button has more functionality. But I might be missing something in HTC x-button. To me its the combination of functions.

On the issue of the explorer... I guess I'll have to see it and play with it a bit to decide. I like the combination of functions in Total Commander (File, Registry, Lan)

Thanks Dutty - I too am looking forward to this release and also your next Rom Koch.

Wow, I went to dinner for a few hours and look what happened to this thread.

Guys, let's get back to kitchen because they are more individuals all over this forum with the sole purpose to stop the great work that is being done here. Obviously they are trying different things to see what will work.

Dawm it, we lost a couple of hours by entertaining these comments.

[MaRaHoX]

Dinner?! I have 3.05 AM, tommorow vacation for four offline (!) days and waiting for release:) to take with:)

[slpro]

Dinner?! I have 3.05 AM and waiting for release:)

Here it´s 2.08 AM. I think i´ll wait for this rom until 8.00 AM when the F1 Grand Prix starts! :)
More one to test...

[RabanJr]

This is a great surprise!

We are looking to put the flash on the old Hermes again.

Godspeed Dutty

Allan

[cyphol]

I'm waiting dear Dutty, Sir. Both the ROM and Koch 2.0.

[liquidhead]

I think im addicted to Roms!

When Koch 2 comes - Im gonna start cooking and join the fun!

[chymmylt]

I think im addicted to Roms!

When Koch 2 comes - Im gonna start cooking and join the fun!

Me too - I'm still hoping I can get Koch to work on the StrTrk so we can start cooking roms there too :) Once that's done - I'll have no time (too busy flashing my phones constantly to do anything else!) :D

[austinsnyc]

so this waiting game is the worst! its like waiting for X-Mass lol.. I guess we are all a bunch of WM6 flash junkies waiting for are dealer. I hope it comes soon Dutty I can't wait to see what you got..

[VivaErBetis]

I guess we are all a bunch of WM6 flash junkies waiting for are dealer
ha ha ha It's the most accurate definition I ever heard for us!

[darkjedi]

If anyone needs hosting, I'll host it. I have plenty of space, and plenty of bandwidth :)

[bodypilot]

This is when I know how bad I have the flashing addiction - sat at my pc pressing F5 instead of sleeping

save me

[princeasi]

Have a few questions about this rom:
1) Is it beta? If not then
2) will the wifi bubble be fixed, or will the work around be applied?
3) Is this build the closest to the final completion of wm6 or is it just a build that was never released??

Thanx!

[poopmongrel]

Before the first aku3.3 build was released my hermes was a piece of crap. Very slow and full of bugs. Now, it is nearly perfect and it is getting better and better. i don't understand why some people don't appreciate the work of all the experts here in the forum. without them i would have sold my hermes to buy another device. Kyphur, lvsw, oli, dutty, des, jasJamming and all other members of xda-devs....thnx for your hard work. i love it....

I would like to reiterate what he so eloquently said.

[optiquest]

6-8 mb page pool will be better

[MaRaHoX]

Too much for my pocket:) - 4 MB will be enough:).

[Murcielago]

I would like to reiterate what he so eloquently said.
So do I :)

[Mesh]

6-8 mb page pool will be better

Too much for my pocket:) - 4 MB will be enough:).

Been using Black 2.0 for a couple a days now. The default page size of 6MB has been giving me alot of memory issues with the Widcomm BT Stack.

Not sure if this goes for this ROM aswell.

Anyway, you can change it yourself (still on my to do list), no need to bother the chef with this. Look here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295932).

[liquidhead]

still impatiently waiting!

[MaRaHoX]

Damn, me too - from night;) a need it:). Looks like, Dutty is sleeping? :) Or Dutty never sleeps?:D

no i´m here :D preparing the release actually

has anybody got this release?
Omega One and Microsoft have a deal where you just need to register online to download the classic 'Space Invaders' for your Windows Mobile Smartphone or Pocket PC. As the Advert says, 'entertain your brain' while you're on the go or waiting for your meeting. ...
they´ve replaced the download with 3d golf now, but i would like to include that space invaders...

[TwoPlus1]

no i´m here :D preparing the release actually

:rolleyes: The perfect way to round off the Easter weekend!:p

[RabanJr]

WOOOHOOO!!!!

Good morning Dutty!!!

I fell asleep 6 hours ago and I just got up. Glad I did'nt miss anything.

Go dutty go :D

Am getting whitescreens on both black2 and the newest lvsw so praying your latest and greatest will sort my tytn out once and for all (grovel grovel)

[liquidhead]

I have gone a week with Pro Black 2.0 - this is a record for me with a Windows Mobile 6 rom - COME ON DUTTY!

[TwoPlus1]

Which boot loader are you using?

[chachi]

Which boot loader are you using?

Rom 3.23.06 / Radio 1.34.00.10 / Oli 1.40 HardSPL6

With 32306 now, if I power on/off once or twice and press phone or start key I usually can get back to ok

[TwoPlus1]

Downgrade to WM5 and check your phone isn't broken...

If it is I hope it's insured *caugh* *caugh*

[chachi]

Hehehe, it's only 2 wks old thankfully ... do have a doublelife battery on order to see if that's the issue perhaps.

[liquidhead]

I have the golf cab if you change your mind dutty! you gonna release it today?

[dutty]

i´m testing the release candidate right now... if it works out you will have 3 new roms today :) (vanilla, freeware, shareware)

[panzer]

3 roms? OMG! ...another sleepless night :D

[liquidhead]

thats great news - rest assured ill be giving good feedback and valid comments - no stupod noob stuff - after all we dont want to scare you off too!! :)

[mrvanx]

wiki page (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Dutty_WM6) changed appropriatly :D

[dutty]

updated the page on thegamebooks.com with new infos

[liquidhead]

oh my word - now im really exited! But im gonna leave ya to it - good luck!

I was gonna buy a htc s710 - but is there any real point now we have WM6 on our TYTNs? besides it being pocket friendly?!

[MaRaHoX]

F*ck:), my time is up - must leave to vacation - oh no:D - no connectivity there, no Dutty's ROM there ...what the hell;)

[fun_key]

Woops, had to hard reset my WMBE 2.0. And as I don't feel like reinstalling everything twice, I'll patiently wait for your release.

Your work is really appreciated (& eagerly awaited) !

[MaRaHoX]

Oh, great idea - I had never have WMBE 2.0 on my device by now, so I'll take with at least this build for test...

Dutty, is some ETA for release?;) My last chance?

[VivaErBetis]

All of you people are beggers. I'm ashamed of you :(

BTW: Dutty, please, publish the ROM now, I need it!. Do it for my children!

[MaRaHoX]

The same view - do it for my wife and careless holidays:D... NOW please:)

[cuccureddu]

no i´m here :D preparing the release actually

has anybody got this release?

they´ve replaced the download with 3d golf now, but i would like to include that space invaders...

Dutty, here you go, posted below.

On a separate note, I would also vote for the inclusion of InClose (CAB posted by someone in an earlier post) as a better option than either the HTC x-button app or MagicButton. I have tried them all and this seems the most complete and elegant implementation of the x-close + task switcher concept.

Thanks for the excellent work and ruining my family's Easter plans by keeping me glued to the PC...;)

[ashman1]

Dutty do you know if VC 1.6 will work through BT headsets? I installed the hacks quite awhile ago on my Hermes running WM5, and I'd hate to loose that functionality in WM6, but I really want to try your ROM when its ready.

Thanks

AM

[icetech]

Dutty. I think you have to include "the art of positions" program from Binaryfish in your Rom. It's a must have and it will really improve the quality of your release.

[duttythroy]

hi all i think we should all leave the chef especially people asking him to include thier own personal favourite in the rom. im not an expertise but he is making 3 roms and vanilla you can use to install what you want to install.

I cant wait to give your rom a try dutty.

[TwoPlus1]

I second that and would like to add that with his krom 2 app out soon you will be able to use any one of the three ROM's and add all of your own costom apps into your rom before flashing...

[rockky]

smells good!

[gerald_s]

I'm in the office since yesterday, my shift lasts at least until Monday 02.00am and I can not download anything on this pc :mad:

So I have to ask all of you lucky guys who can download the rom as soon as its finished: Would you mind to create new threads for each of this roms to have a better overview? And if its running perfect without any issues and faster than light please don't mention it until tomorrow noon :D

[dutty]

Waiting for ur great release!

hurry hurry hurry - stop me from buying a HTC S710!

STOP ASKING FOR MORE APPS - THERE ARE ENOUGH ALREADY!

:D

[mjizzy]

It seems to me that if the last few posts were made in the wxml v3 preview thread that a slew of members (senior and junior) would have flamed the hell out of the posters demanding that they leave kyphur alone and let him do his work.

Why doesn't the same apply here?

Because we're nicer, and just ignore stuff like that????????:p

I don't mean to get off topic as I'm eagerly awaiting the release as well, however, I must say that it is nice to see a thread where people don't jump down your throat just for asking a simple question...:D

[ausbj]

Cant wait!
I'm trying not to say anything stupid or insult anyone but the suspense is killing me.

I will definitely donate for your time spent on this once i've tried it out!

THANKS!

[chymmylt]

Do you smell what the Dutt is cooking??? :cool: oh wait, that's just the Rock (I think the Rock needs to take a shower!!!) Actually Dutty's rom is smellin SWEET!!! Can't wait to play :D

[unwired4]

I went out with a girl once who teased me like this...

[gunigugu]

Lol.. so you know... it's nearly 4am in Australia... i've been trying to sort some things out for the misses phone as she told me.. FIX IT BY TOMORROW OR ELSE!!! :(

So I'm waiting on this new rom too... hope I'm not up for much longer :p

[liquidhead]

dutty is gonna be a complete hero if he gets this release out before the Easter Weekend finishes!

[randomelements]

You got that right ;)

It would be great but I'm sure we'd all prefer it done right rather than rushed.

[storm99]

me too have been waiting for the release eageely :D

[caleymac]

I like the tetris you have - hearts that have been posted. The freecell I posted is known freeware and works fine but the MS version that Viva has quite possibly might look better (I don't image game play of Freecell changes much) - haven't tried it. I also often play the MS Cubical Caos which is a purdy breakout clone from MS. I think it's kind of large in size which is why I haven't suggested it. Too bad Age of the Empires doesn't run on the Hermes (and isn't free either - it came with my HP 4155 and I used to play it for ages).

Age of Empires Gold Edition from around 2002 is working fine on my 8525 with WMBE 2.0. It didn't work on Black 1.0 or 1.2 though.

[easycure1974]

Can´t wait anymore - must have something to flash my TyTn with so I will try the new LVSW rom while waiting for this :)

[chymmylt]

That's weird - that's the version I have - just tried loading it again and still doesn't work :S Maybe it's because it came on a SD/MMC card which was locked down to keep you from copying files off it. Linux didn't seem to have any problems copying it I thought but maybe it did?

[hidefguy]

damm LVSW just released a new rom... don't know how much longer i can wait!

[chymmylt]

damm LVSW just released a new rom... don't know how much longer i can wait!

Install and play with LVSW why you wait for Dutty's :D You can have lots of fun today installing Roms today!!!

i think it is not fair to publish the link so i erase it....

[dutty]

pof, you know what to do ;) shut that thing down :P

[easycure1974]

pof, you know what to do ;) shut that thing down :P

I just flashed the new LVSW rom and just booted it up. But now I will flash your med rom - thanks Dutty :)

I'm using a downloaded version which I install to the SD card. When I tried to run it on early WM6 Black versions, it would not take the registration key. Under Black 2.0 it worked fine...

it has just been released all 3 versions.
