The ftp rar files worked fine for me

Obviously that's been changed. What we want to know is, what the actual build, CE version, etc...are. Not what it's been changed to.

Very nice release!!:cool:

[waz000000]

Like it a lot so far thanks! (don't post much) but i was wondering if SMSBackup could be included maybe as a separate Cab file for those who have their backups already done with that program?

[ecips]

Just keep on trying. vmx server can't keep up ...

@ecips

:D
That was likely me - dealing with the twats that dont logout after they finish (default session timeout was 20 mins)

Then again with twats that have poxy download tools that open 20 simultaneous connections!!


Cheers!

410 succesful downloads!

Also, please folks, be sensible about what mirror you use - as you can see from the URL I am in AUstralia. It appears the main site is in Norway - PLEASE CHOOSE THE ONE CLOSEST TO YOU!!

sorry if I've posted a question that has already been asked but I couldn't remember exactly where I read about it before. The question is, what is the registry entry that needs to be modified to make the date a single line?

Wondering if you guys with internet connection issues got them resolved.
If so how?
thanks

[harlenm]

OK, I'm trying to get this ROM to work on my 8525, all seems good, but I can't get a gprs connection established. I've tried running the Cingular settings cab, and inputting the settings myself, but as soon as it tries to connect, the phone freezes, and I have to do a soft reset.

Anyone have any ideas, this is the first ROM that I've seen this problem with.

[joedoe]

I still would like to know the real build number, or there is a reason to hide it?

[mrvanx]

;) the build numbers dont really count now, since dutty will have performed MANY mods on the ROM (in the cooking process) to make it even better the build number is invalid now. The real build is actually "6.0dutty" and i can imagine the next one will be 6.1 etc....

the CE version number is the real clincher

While that MAY be true. It's still nice to know what build it's based off of.

[stronsilent]

Thanks for a very nice release Dutty. I went with the full-fat version and the install went real smooth. All the apps work fine so far.

One tiny query, I don't see the softkey applet in settings (as per Black 2.0) I'd like to re-assign Calendar to New SMS...

The build number is the build number and it clearly indicates which version of the kernel was used as base. I don't believe that the cooker rebuilt the kernel of the OS.

[rockky]

Yeah, I'm having the same problems with Gprs connection even reflashed off a hard reset.....any insight or fix'd be great.
Interestingly, the face button freezes the device, manually going to settings and connecting works.
Perhaps using a different button for IE.

I changed the IE function to the voice control button and it connected to the Internet ....course I had manually connected a while back, but phone had been off.....we'll see.

[double_ofour]

Whats the point of altering the build number?
build number, version number, any number as far as it is concern for the ROM are important for most of the developers and debuggers..
if you want credits then put your name somewhere else from the "about", maybe below the number.. besides some text.. after the other word.. not in the build version..
it make people confuse..
as far as i know the latest build is 5.2.1413..

[darkjedi]

Exactly. I mean, the ROM isn't based off CE 6.0, otherwise this would be Photon.

Agree!.. i love to see my version growing (but not modified one)
double_ofour > where to get the latest build?

[trashcan]

Agree!.. i love to see my version growing (but not modified one)

These ppl trying hard to obtain the latest OS build and trying to make it available to us in the XDA community..I am sure there are some kind the "risk" because MS might go after them... We should appreciate these people's hard work instead of arguing with the verions number here. The version number really doesn't matter to us as long as it runs in our hermes smoothly. Why would we care about just some text numbers? If not these great ppl, we are still running the buggy WM5 in our hermes.

[monx®]

ok ok, i really appreciate their effort actually. just to say what i like, not arguing ;) cool..

[diaftia]

Anyone having a problem with IE launching with the Medium version?

[darkjedi]

Yup, I do :(

[diaftia]

Yup, I do :(

Ok, just making sure its not me. Seems to work fine with the full version. Just doesn't work with the medium version. You aware dutty? Nice work BTW... thanks for the gourmet cooked treats. :)

[donsaxena]

does it run faster than black 2.0. i am thinking about going with it.

[diaftia]

Vanilla/Basic does it too.

[darkjedi]

Could someone with the Full version, post their ie.exe to see if it'll work or not? I'm hoping it's just an EXE problem and not anything more.

[diaftia]

Could someone with the Full version, post their ie.exe to see if it'll work or not? I'm hoping it's just an EXE problem and not anything more.

Strange thing is I reflashed back to the full and its not working now either.

I tried to get the damn exe but for the life of me I can't get the rom unlocked. Did the registry entries and rebooted but it won't let me copy it off.

[rockky]

I have the full version and IE account access is same issue.

[darkjedi]

Hmmm, this is quite interesting. There's always Opera to fall back on, for now. Or Opera Mini.

I don't think that only one person in the world gets a particular build number and this number would make the build traceable to that person.

[shark1]

I have the full version and IE account access is same issue.

I am running this version on I have no issue with ie at all.

[Webhmaster]

Thanks for the new rom and for all your work.

For me the PIE problem was solved after switching the phone off (holding the on/off button for a few seconds).

Unfortunately Voip is not working for me and the bluetooth stack is skipping (I've tried a number of reg. changes to no avail.).

[Webhmaster]

Installing the 3DES.2 WM6VoIP.CAB activates Voip on this rom.

After installing that, the voip today screen is working much better than on the other roms I've tried :)

[ggerman28]

I found out, I installed the Fullversion of dutty's wm6, it couldnt display chinese properly with the CE-Star, which works fine on the other roms. Is that my problem or the rom just not compatible with the software?

[gunigugu]

Downloaded and installed Dutty's Full version last night...
Overall, very impressed with it. Very very fast and clean.

Haven't had a real chance to test out the "pie bug".
I can however confirm streaming media player and video calliing is broken.

Will continue to test and come back with any fixes I've found.

[Webhmaster]

I really like that on this version Voip works as intended (after installing the voip.cab).

Unfortunately on my device it is very buggy. I can reset the device every few minutes :(

Even though I'm returning to one of other WM6 builds now, I'm still very glad with this release as it gives more insight on the possibilities of WM6.

[hankit]

i have came across some issues with the WM player..
whenever i take a video shot, save it into the memory..
and play with wm..it always says "Not enough storage is avaliable to complete this operation"...same when i did it with my micro sd...

I try both premium and and med...they have the excat same error

I try to search around but it seems i can't find a solution yet...dutty, can you help me out alittle?

Also, just wondering, i read some other threads about the ad2p bt headset issues, has anyone come across about it in this version?

Anything should i need to fix for this current rom? (I'm just a starter since i just got my x01ht today)

many thanks~ and the rom is excellent..a really fast rom~

[tuxnet]

The video call support not work ( medium & full )

[carbunco]

Sorry, looks like we can not get a reply from Dutty in the data connection issue ,I also found that the phone key pad will dissapear, only you can see the text of the soft buttons, besides these two problems there may be others, I don't know. This is THE GREATEST ROM out there.
It will be an upgrade soon?

[trion]

For me the PIE problem was solved after a hard-reset (holding the on/off button for a few seconds).


Ehmm holding the on/off button doesn't do a hard reset, but turns your phone off! So it's a softreset.

Don't make people hardreset their phone based on wrong info!

[monx®]

quite many problems so far.
will try it tonight..

[dutty]

if i´m not posting here you can find me on the gamebooks forum..




guys, thanks for testing out and helping make this better. vivaerbertis already posted a very complete buglist that i will take care of..

and there will be another rom very soon, first releases are always very , very complicated especially in such a big project. i can´t say how much i hate first releases :)

i don´t know the cause of the internet explorer problem and i don´t think there is a quick fix to it, microsoft probably broke something in the browsingcore in this build. if this is no show stopper for you, you can still use opera :) ok, next release.. soon!

[Webhmaster]

You're absolutly right. I've edited my post.

because voip only works as supposed in the first Hermes beta ROM as far we know....above builds we get the [searching problem in the today screen].....
PS;
I'm not implying anything.

[Webhmaster]

PIE is not starting every few starts (need to soft-reset to get it working). Also there seem to be random crashes, not especially connected to a specific program.

I will try again later with a clean setup to see if any of my programs are incompatible with this build.

it happens to me too, sometime PIE will not start. and lock up other times. i going to upgrade to lvsw 4/8/07, that build seems to be newer..

[Webhmaster]

I just tried with a clean install (no software installed) and it wouldn't wake-up again after the first power-off.

[trashcan]

I just bricked my Hermes while flashing this ROM. It's dead. I get only the tri-color screen with SP 1.04, but that's it, can't even switch on and off, and it's not charging anymore. Tried this here

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick

but nothing helps. :eek:

Since you still able to get to the bootloader...it should be 100% recoverable. Read the wiki.

I wish I could. I am reading Wiki since hours. No way. I can't access it anymore.

[ecips]

Have you tried installing the OS from an SD card ?

[chainbolt]

Have you tried installing the OS from an SD card ?

Not possible, I can't access the SD card anymore. It's anyway not booting anymore. When I put in the battery the tri-color screen appears with SPL 1.40, that's it. I can't even switch it off/on anymore. The power button does not work anymore. Hard or soft reset gives me the tri-color screen. If I try to flash a ROM with RUUWrappper, I get the 260 connection error.

I have flashed many ROMs before. Never happened before. I wonder it's related to this ROM, or something else went wrong.

[ausbj]

Did you take the battery out?

You'll have to fix it using the MS PB..(platform builder) in KITL mode. Hold down the com manager and hard reset...if you can see the KITL mode..you are in good shape...then just follow the wiki..

First of all,

We're not worthy!!! (from Wayne's World Movie). Thanks for the gift of your time and talent. I will show my appreciation with a donation.

In regards to the IE issue, I also experimented with the same issue as reported by Webhmaster. I could not even stop the application. I went to programs --> System --> Reset Device (great tool) and after soft-resetting my devide and I able to use IE and navigate using activesync.

if a soft-reset does not work, perform a hard reset. Your data will be back when you sync. You will need to re-install your apps.

To hard reset the tytn/8525:
Hard reset: hold both soft buttons while pushing the stylus into the reset hole.

or

hold down the two soft keys and power the device on.

So far this version of the ROM is impressive.

[todd_jg]

May I humbly suggest that we just let Oli, LVSW and Dutty handle this between them. The rest of us should probably not get involved unless we actually KNOW something, rather than speculating. Especially throwing out bullshit accusations like addind and then deleting cab's and stuff. C'mon. Let the guys who actually have a stake inthe discussiopn handle it. At least, that is my suggestion.

[Penske MB]

That is right!! What we really care is have a great community taht all of us share information and make a better ROM every week!!

Actually I prefer a clean version of ROM and put the rest as CAB files for personal choice... I think many of you will agree on that! Like I careless of VoIP because Cingular's 8525 will not work...

[todd_jg]

Read the wiki - WM6 - cooked ROM's - so much more...

Back on topic....

..Has anyone successfully got video calling working yet??

[Socarumba]

Has anyone successfully installed BB Connect and got it to work.

[mrvanx]

Has anyone successfully installed BB Connect and got it to work.

From what im aware of the BB connect problem is due to the build number, black 2.0 and XDA Live have this hex editted to 5.1.195 so it shall work with BB connect.

[dutty]

Back on topic....

..Has anyone successfully got video calling working yet??

For some reason I am also unable to get video calling working I have tried the reg fix for this problem and also tried the app that is menat to do it and then reset and it works but for some reason I am unable to get it too work :(

[mrvanx]

Looking at duttys comments in the thread he has noticed the video call isnt working, it should be fixed for the next version ;)

[mrvanx]

Another issue that might just be me :)

Anyone using TCPMP or Coreplayer could you see if the ATiImageon device is available (I havent got the option!?!?!? only directdraw and the usual others)

EDIT:: quick update, installing sleuth's ati fix has no effect :( (directdraw still works a treat though, ATI is better dammit :D)

[duttythroy]

I would hate to see this forums trning into a war zone, especia;;y as late ihink this forum is one of the best educational and tutorial place ive been and will never leave. there are so many great chefs in this forum and i hate to see them arguing< whether its a general mistake or not i would love to see JJ, DUTTY, KYPHUR, LSVW and all who contributes mainly in supporting our devices come together and build one greaat rom which we could call

{ xda unite 4 us v6 ] which symbolises all the members in xda.

I call on dutty and lsvw to sort this out between themselves and hopefully these two great rom cookers will unite again.

Just someone who reads this forum absolutely 100 times per day/

[diaftia]

Trying to get back to topic. Aside from the IE bug that I found, another bug is when I installed InClose as a task manager the phone application would fail to come up. Well, more correctly, it would come up but there would be no buttons or call list. Just a gray screen. I have come to like InClose. I used to use Magic button but the overlay always messed up my icons at the top. PBar would miss a lot applications when I would close them and have other oddities. The built in task closer does not have a task manager to switch between apps.

InClose is a great solution but will not work on this ROM. I should point out that the only flaw I see with InClose is that its a bit big size wise.

I have attached it for testing purposes.

[dutty]

yeah, koch v2 will rule :) i just created a discussion about it on tgb, it includes a fresh screenshot..
->http://www.thegamebooks.com/pocket-pc---smartphone_forum-general-discussion_topic-the-rom-koch-v2---pre-release-discussion-f29-t618.html

[faria]

tread is open.....please stick to the topic.

[Pc78]

Have noticed that the RAM allocation is much better in this OS version...after all my appz installed I have about 24-25MB ram free...and after a day of usage the RAM drained only about 0,5mb...that is impressive if compared to other OS WM6 built...nice done dutty! :)

Noticed also that PhoneAlarm (1.58) with some skins that allow direct WIFI on/off does not work...it maybe the new Com manager that affect this...the shortcuts in the PA skin could be wrong...and also have some issue with PA beta...my phone rang but no incoming call bubble only the Signal bar (on the top) was showing an incoming calll...of course this is a PA issue ;)

Regards,
Primoz

[crazyC]

Had same issue with PA and WIFI - it is the new comm manager - although I think it can be fixed by the chefs.

Which beta are you using - so far I have found 1.6b3 to be the most stable. I have played around with versions up to 10 so far but went back to 3 today.

[Pc78]

Using the b10...but will go back to 1.58. Although the ROM is the fastest right now and it is also at least as stable as Black 2.0...

Regards,
Primoz

I have several issues with this ROM:

- IE is not working (not loading)
- Live search is not working (not loading)
- Pocket Picture is not working (crashes with error message)

Otherwise, everything works well and fast, thank you very much.

Just run this REG file on your Hermes and you'll be able to switch WiFi by using PhoneAlarm
(It's a question of buttons alignment in CommManager window)

[chainbolt]

The IE bug is horrible, I have tried all 3 versions. IE is sometimes working sometimes not, some sort of random approach. In the worst case it's freezing, same with all versions. Then, when it works, I can't get a GPRS connection, it tries a few seconds and then freezes. :eek:

live search not working must be related to the ie not working.

pocketpic is working fine for me.. anybody else having those problems?
i´ll release a fixed rom soon :)

[stewcp]

A promising rom, but too many werid things! Firstly, I thought my battery was bad with Black 2.0 but with this rom, it seemed worse... also my vario frooze a few times when connecting to the internet and my push email notifications seemed some what slow!

On the positive side, its a very fast and IMO has probably the best memory management out of all current versions.

I look forward to the next release, but until then I'm going back to LVSWs!

Despite the problems I encountered, its a great rom! thanks dutty ;)

[jcespi2005]

Nice to see the thread open again....

congratulation for your work, dutty....

[ashman1]

Nice release, also experiencing the IE problem. I also seem to be stuck on 3G network, can't move to just GSM, I get the error 'data in call' try again later. Problem is that when on 3G my battery won't even last a day with push email and maybe 20min phone talk time, no BT, no wifi. Otherwise, nice release, can't wait for future releases.

[SPSP]

At first, thanks for dutty's work.
I need czech keyboard so I am using method that the customized file sym.409.txt is copied into the directory /windows on TyTN. But this ROM version ignored this file.
I am using LVSW last two versions and everything works well there.
Could it be solved, please?

And is anywhere foreign files for no english wm6 hinting?

[shark1]

I have stopped using this release as the IE problem causes me too many problems, It's a good release apart from that so I hope you can solve the IE problem soon.

[marscandybars]

I haven't tun into the ie problems ... and i've been using it for a while... but i also prefer opera mobile browser (i highly suggest it cuz the webpage layouts are 10x better than with ie)

However, i have had issues with the phone dialer. Every so often, if i open the phone dialer to call, it goes to the dialer program but i don't see any buttons!?. they are practically invisible. They are still there cuz when i press down on where the buttons are supposed to be, the number shows up. But its just a blank grey page. I have to soft-reset frequently to get it back. Anyone else having these issues?

That would be very nice, because this ROM is very fast. I have quite intensively tested it over the last 2 days and found though that not only IE has the tendency to "hang", requiring frequent soft resets. I have tried all versions, and it's the same "behavior", so I guess it's related to the OS itself. :D Looking forward to a revision.

Another issue, as mentioned above, is the phone dialer: Sometimes the buttons disappear.

Had similar problems. Tried a soft reset, but this did not work. Then removed the battery for a few minutes and when I switched the device back on the phone dialler was ok.

Dialler works - thanks for the tip - I will see how long it remains there untill I have to do the same procedure again

[tenio]

I have worked with the new rom since yesterday morning,
1. phone without buttens (will apear for a while after softreset)
2. Explorer when launched hangs the device up(soft reset)
3. connecting to 3g/gprs the device blockes(soft reset)
.. rest until now working fine

Precisely and exactly the same issues here with all 3 versions. And because this is rendering WM core functions useless, the ROM is not yet "usable". But it's fast, it has potential. :D I am looking forward to test a bugfixed revision.

[randomelements]

Those of you getting the problem with buttons disappearing from the phone dialer, do you have video calling enabled or are you using the new WM6 style dialler?

I've got the WM6 style dialler and still haven't come across this problem.

Can someone please tell me how I set a mp3 file on my storage card in the this release, i used to be able to hold on the file and select set as rintone but in this version there is no option to set the song as default ringtone.

[randomelements]

run fexplore.exe instead of the new explorer - it's still available there.

[ashman1]

I've been running it so far and its great, I don't browse from my phone much if it at all, so the IE bug is not a problem for me. I even installed the VC 1.6 cab hack that I have and once again I can hear BT commands through my BT headset, YAY! Otherwise, release is stable for me, I like it!!

what hack was that....i have seen a few....

[ashman1]

I found it on this board, have looked since and cant find it anymore. Its one file that I had on my memory card. I am really happy it worked because its one of the most useful features of this phone.

[pmcall]

The VC 1.6 Cab in the Wiki under Hermes_Utils perhaps?

[marscandybars]

Has anyone found a fix for the keybaord lag and dropping letters? Its either a ROM issue... or hardware... if its hardware... im beginning to get REALLY annoyed with this phone. I never ran into this problem with the wizard/MDA/8125

For ex: If I wanted to type "Hey Whats going on!"

I would immediately start typing after i pull the keyboard out, and it would lag. Then when the letters catch up, it would look something like:

"Hy Whts going on!" (more or less)

In order for me to prevent this, i have to actually wait for it to go landscape, then another 2 seconds or so, then start typing. I've read in other forums to either decrease the word suggestions to 3 or omit the feature overall. I didn't see a difference. I have mine now set to off, and it still drops letters.

[darkjedi]

I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue. It happens to me all the time, no matter what ROM. I've had two TyTN's now, and each one of them have experienced this. The first TyTN only had WM5 on it, and it had that issue. On both of mine, I also get, the screen going dark, then coming back on, or what REALLY pisses me off, is after awhile of texting, the keyboard stops responding! Nothing will fix it besides a soft reset. THAT is a hardware issue. My first TyTN was an HT636, this one is a HT630.

[CUSTEL]

It's a hardware issue neither my wizard nor my hermes could keep up with the speed I type.

Although I do have to say it has gotten better with wm6 but I have had the keyboard not respond once on me with wm6 never happened with wm5.

[m0nkm0nk]

what a pity :)


lol ;p

I'm waiting till nxt release :)

[hellejoep]

Dutty,

I can't seem to get ICS working because it gives me I can't connect to the 3G connection, USB is working.....
It gives: Connot connect for an unknown reason.
But Internet works perfectly on my Hermes....
Any suggestions?

Looks like you have bad lag and there is not much you can do, I have not come across this and know of no solution.

[marscandybars]

Well this happens on a even on fresh reboot. I could really care less about lag, as long as when it catches up, the it doesn't drop letters. I have the HTC Tytn / Cingular 8525. Its almost as if it has to stabilize after it switches to landscape, before it can accept any letters that you press (accurately)

I also have the T-mobile MDA (Vario, k-jam, wizard) which runs the same rom as the Cingular 8525. However, even though its half the processor speed, and even if i have programs running in the background, the most it would do is just lag, but i can continue typing out my entire message. After some time, the lettes catch up with my fast typing, but it DOESN'T DROP A SINGLE LETTER. Which is why it is so frustrating with the new device HTC Tytn/Cingular 8525 and all similar devices. Its like this device took two steps forward, then TEN steps backward... a HUGE burden... i hate having to wait 2-3 seconds when i have to text or punch in a number in the To: section of the text field when i pull out the keyboard...

I have a recommendation for the vanilla: Why don't you leave it as "pure" as it is, that means without any free or shareware, and without any changes (such as to the Explorer)?

have you checked your device for bad blocks?

[dutty]

nope. the definition of vanilla for wm6 premium is with basic functional changes like the new calc or the explorer.

I haven't tried that yet. How would i go about doing that? But this a problem that MANY people have and there have been other posts about it, and no resolution (aside from removing auto word fill; which doesnt really help). I've noticed this problem only with the custom wm6 roms.

Faria, you and i both had the wizard at one point, and though we got occasional lag when immediately typing after changing to landscape, when the words caught up, at least it didn't drop any letters :-p

you need to download mtty....run it and run task -[info 8] this will tell you how many bad block you got in the device ,if any...the run task [a2] this will fix bad blocks.
the info for all you need is in the wiki .
it is know that if you have a bad block and a file is occupying the area it will create problems because the operation system my not be able to read the file correctly or at all,this is similar to hardrives with bad blocks...as far as i know.

yes i still have the wizard [ well whats left of it].....but then we did not have nand Technology on it....and yes id true what you affirm about it.
funny uncouth i found 4 bad blocks in mine a few days ago....i was having problems with explorer, after i fix them the problem was gone.
please note that the rom i have in my device is not this one or any available at the moment.
of course this can be a rom fault also. only testing an investigating will give you ansers.....the above is just a sujestion...:)

A question..Why doesn't work the sms view in dutty full?The sms arrive, but if I want to read doesn't work the view function..
Has anyone this problem?

[rydingw]

Hi, I upgraded to dutty's WM6 on my spv m3100, but dont seem to get any sms reports, I made sure it was ticked in the options menu, also checked the registry, even tried using sms provider cab VM to see if that helped and SMSDRfix for WM5, but still no luck

[death_jax]

I don't be able to read them!!

[dutty]

I don't be able to read them!!
sms reading worked for me.. have to check the sms report tho

[slvrdez]

OK i was looking at these post and i could not find anything but i might of missed it but i installed the Full Rom on my Hermes and well i cant dail at all. when i go to dail i just get a blank greenish screen where the keypad needs to be and i cant dail or see the nummbers at all nothing so mmm im wondering thats up with that.

[darkjedi]

Had that happen to me once with the Vanilla rom, but a soft reset fixed it.

[slvrdez]

Ok i did that and it worked thank you so much x.x lol i was like wow
last thing im sure this has been answered but will the Dailer skin work on this rom?

[kquahkt1978]

Please help i have wifi problems using this wm6 version. It shows that the pda is connected but when i serve the DNS is not connected. I have checked this thread on wifi problems but didnt realli see much. Please advise. The dutty wm6 is zippy to use no problems other than wifi

[ashman1]

I have had the blank phone keypad problem on and off since upgrading to this release. I would say other then the already mentioned IE issue, its the only other 'bug' I have encountered with this build. Every time I encounter the blank phone dialer pad, I have to soft reset which is a pain, sometimes one soft reset does not resolve it and two are required.

Not sure where I should report this, but on my vanilla tytn, the camera software is pretty buggy. Sometimes black screen, other times I get weird overlays of half a photo once it's taken.

regardless, appreciate the effort dutty, as always.

wm6 premium 8apr07.

[dny238]

;) the build numbers dont really count now, since dutty will have performed MANY mods on the ROM (in the cooking process) to make it even better the build number is invalid now. The real build is actually "6.0dutty" and i can imagine the next one will be 6.1 etc....

the CE version number is the real clincher

Since he went out of his way to say that this Rom is based on a different build than the other ROM's which are out there, it'd be nice to see which build he's talking about.

Also, the Wiki suffers because he's hidden this information. We can't review the various roms to pick the one which started with the newest code.

That sounds like you are accidentally in the Panorama mode to me. The icon looks like a piece of filmstrip or a bridge.

Panorama mode is cool, you take one picture and it puts part of the right hand side of the picture as an overlay on the left to help you line up your next shot. After taking 3 pictures like this (from left to right, using the overlay to line things up...) it gives you a nice panoramic picture.

The quality isn't the best, but it's a neat feature none the less.

[sjhannan]

When using Duttys ROM (vanilla/med/full) the entire unit freezes after approx 3 secs when trying to connect to internet. I am able to send/receive MMS via gprs (which uses the same technology except different accesspoint.

I've download the Hermes WM6 vanilla rom, all is OK. I also tried the Black 2.0 & Black 2.5 rom, again all is OK.

I'd really like to use dutty's rom, but without access to the internet, I'm lost!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I took a quick Scan and also look around...im pretty sure blind as a bat but is there something that can enable the PTT? or a program that one can install that can let one use the Cingular PTT and maybe other company PTT?

[handsome88]

hi, all,

I upgraded my X01HT to dutty's WM6 last weekend. My general comment is that the performance is very good when compared with WM5 but I found the my phone will freeze sometimes when I am using SMS (around 5-6 times for the past 2 days). Anyone has the same problem?

Apps installed in my phone:-
- CE-Star 2.8 R3
- Phonoalarm 1.6.2
- SPB Phonesuite 1.0
- SPB backup 1.6
- Resco Explorer 6
- WebIS Pocket Informant 2007

At first, thanks for dutty's work.
I need czech keyboard so I am using method that the customized file sym.409.txt is copied into the directory /windows on TyTN. But this ROM version ignored this file.
I am using LVSW last two versions and everything works well there.
Could it be solved, please?

And is anywhere foreign files for no english wm6 hinting?


Weird thing is I have made the follwoing changes to my registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
"Default"="e0030411"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
"Default"="e0030411"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
"Layout"="197649"


The above regEdits worked before with the SB ExtROM but then I would get
that stupid white screen requesting the SIM unlock code so I reflashed the
phone again with NO SB ExtROM but now even after do the regEdit again I
still get a messed up KB layout.

Is there some trick to fixing this?
