[UPDATED 23APR08] Charmer TouchFLO WM6 German Version 3.2 - by Ridingshark

[ridingshark]

VERSION Beta 3.2 is out, see end of this post

Hello to all Charmer users.

This is a another German ROM for Charmer (MDA II Compact).

Thanks to gullum and vlodeck for the base ROMs and the permission to re-cook.
see this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323979

Also thanks to mschmitz for the idea, the work he put into his German ROM - see this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331142, for providing the link to the “how-to translate” and for inspiring me to cook the “perfect” ROM (at least for my purposes).

My idea/goal is to gain as much Memory as possible by keeping ROM small as Charmer gets remarkable slower if usable MEM goes below 15MB.

Future Plans:
This ROM: I will try to get it stable and "entirely" German. Thereafter:
New ROM: I plan to cook a slim “base” ROM and let the user decide what to install (e.g. only “Tastatur” installed, rest can be de-installed by user).

This is the first stable version as I did not publish Beta 1 – 2 due to unsolved items (that are solved now in this beta 3).

Now what’s the difference to vlodecks English and mschmitz German ROM:

I implemented “real” German Inputs, so all English versions all DLLs have been removed to save space (e.g. in mschmitz ROM you will have “Keyboard” and “Tastatur” which causes selection troubles).
Input Method Selection therefore does not require “tricks” anymore and works like expected. I anyways included IM Selector (see below).

Following Programs are NOT included in my ROM compared to vlodeck and mschmitz:

- Some Themes:
Black Light.tsk
Black Satin.tsk
Wm_black2.tsk

- Ringtone: Ring-WindowsMobile .wma

- Some Freeware (download and install it if you need it)
Call Firewall
Group SMS Application
Jeodek Java
WM5torage
PHM Regedit (as Taskmanager provides the best Registry Editor I know)

- VoIP (Voice over IP)
If you need VoIP you will find a Folder “Voice over IP” in RAR File. Simply install both cab Files and you have VoIP – will take about 2MB space.

Programs that ARE INCLUDED in ROM:

- All German Inputs (removed all english DLLs)
- pBar (new Version 1.5 iso 1.4 like in Vlodecks), good Task manager with battery monitor, etc
- kbdddr.dll (Charmer kbddrv as Vlodeck uses Prophet)
- allblack.tsk: (This is a black Theme which also removes „WM6 Shiny/Glossy bars”, so this is a real flat black theme, e.g. use for iPhone Skin)
- PPCPIMBackup (new Version). Backup your Contacts, Phonelist, SMS, etc..
- IM Selector (You can choose a an input method that is Standard after Soft reboot. Standard is now “Tastatur”)
- Phonepad (Intellipad) GER/ENG only, I removed all other Languages (like Greek to save space)
- wince.nls (exchanged from Prophet Version to Charmer Version – Needed for ActiveSync over MS Exchange Server)
- MMS Templates translated to German
- Icons for Program Folders
- Filedialog changer
- Task Manger by dotfred (including a Registry Editor)

How to:

My checklist how to flash your Charmer to WM6 can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363882

Thereafter be sure to READ vlodecks HowTo and see screenshots of (english version) WM6 for Charmer!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323979
You will also find a working ROM to flash back to WM5 here.

ATTENTION:
It may happen get an error (like: cannot replace file, maybe in use, or similar)after running "Upgrade_ROM.bat".
No worries, in this case copy "EnableRapi.cab" and "Cert_SPCS.cab" to your device if not allready there and install them by clicking on it in File Explorer. Then re-run "Upgrade_ROM.bat" and it should work.

On my Charmer the ROM is stable without any problems. If you crash your device, its YOUR fault and own responsibility.

Please do not ask how to flash a ROM or where to find ROMs or programs, etc in this thread, see links above. If you are not sure what you do, its better not to do it.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Have fun
Ridingshark
---------
New Version Beta 3.2 is out.

Download Version Beta 3.2 at: http://www.file-upload.net/download-1113151/Charmer_Touch_GER_Ridingshark_Beta_3.2.rar.html
Pass is: wm6

ATTENTION – UPGRADE INFORMATION GENERAL and when you flash my ROM for the first time:
(German: ACHTUNG: Bei jedem UPGRADE und wenn Du mein ROM das erste mal auf Dein Gerät spielst).
Do not forget to Flash back to WM5 before you upgrade from another WM6 Version and read the HOW-TOs!!.

Speicherkarte/Storage Card Info - Wichtig: For System Compatibility to english Versions the "Speicherkarte" is called Storage Card in my ROM (as we often switch/test from english to German versions and v.v).
If you flash from a German WM5 ROM, you might have problems after restoring your personal data as "Speicherkarte" is named "Storage Card" (e.g. Installed Programs, etc.).
To solve this you can edit this registry item:
go to Taskmanager/RegEdit [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ SDMemory] and change "Folder"="Storage Card" to: "Folder"="Speicherkarte".
But be carefull: If everything worked OK for you with "Storage Card" (e.g. you had an english version before) and you rename "Storage Card" to "Speicherkarte" later on, you also have to change all Registry References (Installed Programs, etc.) and Shortcuts to "Speicherkarte"!!

ATTENTION – UPGRADE INFORMATION FROM MY PREVIOUS BETA VERSION 3.0 (3) or 3.1:
(German: ACHTUNG: NUR wenn Du schon mein ROM 3.0 oder 3.1 auf Deinem Gerät hast).
An GERMAN upgrade Guide is enclosed with the RAR File (“Upgrade Anleitung WM6 ROM Beta 3.2.pdf”). Please read (Bitte unbedingt lesen).
There is one error in this file: When deleteing the COMM Destinations in my file you should go to "HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations" not to "HKCU\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations". This is important, if you have german and english COMM Info, you will have Problems setting up a Connection.

Changelog:

Changes Version 3.2
- Solved all bugs reported so far (reported until 21-04-2008)
- fixed SMS and WebMail bug (text was vertical or no body at all)
- Translated all reported to German (except 3rd party software as e.g. “Soft Key” and “Bluetooth Explorer” and “Filedialogchanger”).
- translated Pocket Office Templates to German (dotx. xmlx)
- added Filedialog changer.
- added Task Manger by "dotfred" (including a better Registry Editor)
- removed PHM Regeditor
- replaced Mobilcalculator (thanks to cyberdel)
- replaced pxl.exe (Pocket Excel) as there was an error

- Hardware Buttons bug for Contacts and Calender (Button 1 & 2) fixed.
- All HTML Help Files translated to German now.
- All Settings reported by “Staubsauger” translated to German
- Folder “My Documents/TEMPLATES” removed, only “My Documents/VORLAGEN” will be there.
- Folder “Office Mobile” only once in “Startmenu/Programme” (Attn Staubsauger: The “Microsoft Office” Folder is from your Restore, I think – delete manually)

- Links für Messenger und WLMLauncher added
- replaced German “folderview.exe” and lnk (in “\Windows” directory) - Displays the “Programme” Folder. Original HTC displayed wrong folder

- removed WM5Torage. (install if you need, I dont)

[cyberdel]

wow great a new release. i am very happy, that in this release are non-usual-programs like wifi, voip, etc deleted to save memory. GREAT.
But is there also a new Build of Windows? Maybe you can cook it? Thanks anyways for the new release

[Staubsauger]

Yummie, great work, ridingshark!
Excellent ROM without to much of the 'senseless' stuff in it!
Looking forward to your "base"-ROM!

[Staubsauger]

@ridingshark:

Some "bugs"...

It seems that the 'Touch Cube' doesn't work! The Cube can't be activate by draging from top bar straight to the bottom but sometimes by touching one of the Softbuttons the Cube activates itself!
There are two Office-folders ('Microsoft Office' & 'Office Mobile')
There are still some non-german system-parts

[Start-Einstellungen-Persönlich-Telefon-PIN2 & More]
[Start-Einstellungen-Persönlich-Tasten-Lock]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-Bluetooth-FTP]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-GPRS Settings]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-Network Wizard]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-Wireless LAN] (Is this feature really necessary?)
[Start-Programme-Hilfe]
[Start-Programme-Kalendar] --> should better be Kalender


Anyway, great work!!!

Hello Staubsauger *g*
Thanks for inputs. Strange, did not have any problems with Cube.
After hardreset i tested this, slided down and it started. I have it disabled in my Charmer (no need), but it should work.
Will check.
Thanks

[TommyB83]

Great work, best rom I think :)

But, I have the same problem with cube like staubsauger said. :/

[ridingshark]

Great work, best rom I think :)

OK, think i have found the problem.
A bugfixed and extended version beta 3.1 for all above will come next week latest (hope)
Regards R

[TommyB83]

Very nice to hear this :)
Wish you best luck for the next version and hope it comes soon

German part:
Irgendwie verwundernd, dass man in nem Thread über ne deutsche Firmware in englisch schreibt, oder nicht?! ^^
Schön zu hören dass du an ner neuen Version arbeitest. Wünsch dir viel Glück für die nächste Beta, freu mich schon auf das ultimative Flash :D


*** german part included 'cause my not soo good english knownledgement

[Staubsauger]

@ ridingshark: Great work! :)

Just a few things:

Using SKTools 4, I found one wrong link (it is a ROM-File, so no chance for me to correct it): "\Windows\Start Clean.lnk" referes to "\Program Files\Startclean\startclean.exe" instead to "\Windows\StartClean.exe". (see screenshot_1.jpg)
At the "Telefon"-screen there is "Contacts" instead of "Kontakte" (see screenshot_2.jpg) and the "Smart-Dialing-Options" are still non german (see screenshot_3.jpg)

btw: How long did it took you to cook this ROM? I would love to cook my own ROM but i haven't enough time to test, modify, test again, modify again, aso -> so i hope, that you will cook the ultimate german ROM for Charmer! :D

[youser]

Some problems... USB charging is not working
Time and date of text messages are not displayed correctly, the message body itself is alright

Yes, you're right! Haven't seen, that I've got the same problem with messages! :confused:

Thats weird...
Strange.

1) USB Charging: After First use (Hard reset) please go to "\Windows" and Start "XDADev_BatFix.exe". This has to be done only once after Hardreset.
Reset and it will work

2) Will check what happened with Textmessages and try to post a bugfix until next revision.

Regards and sorry for troubles.

Hi there!

First of all: Great great work of yours!

I experience 2 kind of problems:

E-Mails (push, exchange, pop accounts) show no message body, only headers, recipients & attachments (though u can't open them)...

When retrieving data (mails, internet, active sync) the sessions don't end automatically, u always have to cancel them manually.

Does anyone struggle with the same stuff ?

Cheers, gustox

[Staubsauger]

Hi gustox!

I also just found out, that email-accounts in p.outlook are not working correctly. :confused:
In fact, no message-body when opening a downloaded email (see screenshot_1 & screenshot_2).
(btw: YES, there IS a content in the mail shown at the screenshots!)

Don't see a problem with not-self-stopping-sessions! What do you mean exactly? The GPRS/EDGE connection? - IMO they never should end automatically, 'cause you're wasting data-volume (this shouldn't be really a problem) and there's no need for stopping it anyway.

Hello Guys, i dont know the heck what the problem is, i recooked all and no change for that. Did you use another German ROM before (e.g. mschmitz( and did you have similar problems?
Please report
thanks

Every 5-10 minutes it starts an internet connection just by itself.
I noticed it in the morning when the data session was like 7 hours or so!

Don't know why...active sync config is :

main time check: every 2 hrs
side time check: manually

GMX Account check: manually

Strange.

@ ridingshark:

That's my first wm6 rom.
Previous rom: TMobile Austria AKU2_0_Update AUT

cheers, gustox

[Staubsauger]

@ gustox:
Have you checked the settings for HTCHOME-Weather? Maybe this is the reason for connecting every 5-10 minutes!?

@ ridingshark:
I tried several ROMS (vlodeck's & mschmitz') but never had similar problems. I think the main problem is with the "html-interface" of p.outlook.
Creating a new email, the message-body indicates a hyperlink to "Inbox:ReadBody editmsg" (screenshot_1 & screenshot_2). Following this hyperlink it creates an Error-message (screenshot_3).
Obviously this is the key!

Didn't find any programm using these files.

[Start-Einstellungen-System-Soft Key]

Thanks a lot!

[cyberdel]

hey great work - your rom ist nearly perfect ;)
maybe you can update batterystatus to the actual version. ;)
problem: i have a big problem, when i use excel mobile and i save then the file couldn't be open. this problem is only if i use a number with comma bsp. 1,5 in a cell. all other things working. when i save in 2003 format then all is ok.

Edit: I have solved the problem with excel in wm6. I extracted the pxl.exe from the actual microsoft release and copied it to \windows ... all is ok now.

[cyberdel]

(Registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items)
- Dirctory windows/startmenü/programme/Phone --> change to "Telefon"

Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751&highlight=batterystatus

- can you change the Name of "Storage Card" to "Speicherkarte"?
- when you want, you can add the 6th Button to Home-Plugin with:
"HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Tabsettings --> change "1,2,3,4,5" to "1,2,3,4,5,6" and i add new nice Pictures for HTC Home

-i have created a nice german virtual 3D keyboard layout for Kaiser i think it is the same file for charmer... when not you can extract the bmp-file and import in the original Charmer-file "msimde.96.dll"


I have an attachment database error at the moment... upload later

for the sake of completeness ;)


- Heute items, will translate with next release, but could be problematic when restoring the device (double items)

Have you edit the Registry in Device or have you cook with new editing RGU-file ? Search in SYS\Base_Lang_0407(or 0409) the RGU-file and edit this

good luck


- Batterystatus is latest freeware version according to webpage of batterystatus.

I mean the version 1.05 of BatteryStatus is better and yes it is a little bit larger, for overklocking by start a programm and go back when the programm is closed, this save battery and it is beta-freeware, too .... LINK (http://www.chi-tai.info/index.php?docid=download/cd_z104200&docid1=iM_cs)


- Kayboard, i will not change the layout as your version of the DLL is 10 times bigger than the original (Bitmap). Want to save space


That is right, but it is real a nice layout.... think about it again please :)

Hello!

Yesterday I have flashed my T-Mobile MDA compact II with your ROM Version.
First of all: @ Ridingshark: Thank You for your great ROM Version! I am really very impressed of your work because I do not have any idea how you did this. ;)

But I have one Problem: When I try to go Online with GPRS, nothing happens. I had a look at the "Verbindungseinstellungen", but there is no connection configured. When I try to configure it by myself, it won't be saved. After I had finished the Assistant, my connection does not appear.

Then I tried to use the Automatically Configuration from T-Mobile ( https://www.csp.t-mobile.net/rdm/?pt=TMDEUP ). I receive the first SMS with the PIN-code, I receive the second message with the configuration, too, but no message appears and no settings will be saved.

I also have tried the "Netzwerk-Assistent" in the "Einstellungen", but it will not help, too.

Am I the first who has this problem? And has somebody an idea how I can solve it?

Many thanks for your Help in advance!

Regards
stefbeer

P.S.: Sorry for my not very good English... But I hope you understand what I mean :D

first of all:
a BIG FAT THXS!!! for this amazing work & rom... :D
the batterystatus version from martie's link has nice additonal features. but one bad point...
batterie won't charge when charmer ist connected via usb to laptop with 1.05 version

[lolopa]

Hallo ridingshark,

i have installed your very good rom. But i get an error message (" Die Datei elatepushservice kann nicht geladen werden usw..) when i reboot the phone.

what did i wrong??

[heini_66]

remove in /windoooze/autostart the elatepushservice.
then you won't see this message again.

[ridingshark]

Hallo ridingshark,

i have installed your very good rom. But i get an error message (" Die Datei elatepushservice kann nicht geladen werden usw..) when i reboot the phone.

what did i wrong??

hello, as heini_66 said, most of the errors after upgrad comes from restoring the device (data) from a previous version. When you restore your personal data, also "old" autostart and registry data will be restored.
i would suggest when upgraduing from WM5 that you just restore personal data (like My Documents, etc..) and install all programms new.

Thanks

Hello Heine, USB loading should work, this could also be a restore item.
Please go to \windows\ and click on "XDADev_BatFix.exe".
Also Softreset your device thereafter while still plugged in on active sync.

If this is an batterystatus item, i cannot help you, i do not have the 1.05 on my ROM its the 0.05 version. Did you install the 01.05 Beta?
Thanks

[heini_66]

hi ridingshark,
yes i installed the beta 1.05.
i love the cpu freq scaling and boosting funktion...
after softreseting my device when pluged in to my computer, it starts loading!

[norbkre]

Hi ridingshark,
thank you very much for this great port and your support.
I've done it a week ago and are absolutely happy with WM6. Small memory, works stable, reboot in 2 minutes - all "old" programs are working fine!!

Now for newbees and people who don't try, or afraid, or new with this theme:
Find a How2 with many pictures and hints under

And by the way: it tooks me 36 minutes to flash - not 15 - 20!!

Thanks again and happy flashing!

I also had some problems, but it can be solved like this.
1) Backup your personal data.
2) delete your ActiveSync Partnership (""File"/"Delete Mobile Device"). MDA must be unplugged.
3) create a new partnership and the problem should be solved.

It might be a problem with pBar.
When you klick on "OK" (right top) it sends a "close" instead of "OK" to the system (this is with some Settings).

Try either to close pBar before you set up a connection or do NOT click on "OK", use the softkey down/left (Fertig).

I have a GPRS Setup without problems

Hello.
If you have problems creating a new Connections thats what the Problem was:

In my German howto i told you to delete some registry items under:
"HKCU\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\"

it seems that some users upgrading from WM5 have the same location on
"HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\"

So please check both destinations and delete the english versions according to my HOW-TO.

It should work then.

Hmm, have no idea, no problem like this reported so far.
Check other Programs, maybe a incompatibility.
mabye flashing went wrong. try again to WM5, then WM6.
Also check the "Sync Problem":

also recommend to delete your Active Sync Partnership after upgrade (Active Sync/File/Delete Mobile Device) and let Active Sync setup a new one (otherwise you may have problems with File sync, sometimes an error pops up).
If you have problems to sync with outlook, it might be a problem with the restored data of SPRITE BACKUP as WM5 has a different database than WM6.
In case you geet an error "Error 8007000e" or similar do the following:
1) Hard Reset
2) Do NOT connect to Active Sync !!!
3) Restore your personal data (If you use Sprite backup select Merge, Level 1 but do NOT select "Migration Data" whern you get the filetree)
4) On your PocketPC start the program "Active Sync" (still NOT connected to PC)!
5) Go to Menu/Options and DELETE the partnership (e.g. "Windows PC").
All Syncroniced data will be deleted on the PocketPC (Contacts, Appointments, etc..), but they are still available in OUTLOOK on your PC.
6) Thereafter delete your Partnership also on the PC (Active Sync - File/elete Mobile Device).
7) Now connect your PocketPC to the Desktop PC and the Outlook data will be syncronized again without error.

You can try to start at point 4) maybe you do not need a hardreset/backup again, try....
After upgrading you should always delete the partnerships....

This is the WM5->WM6 backup issue. So yes, Ridingshark is right. Do a hardreset.

Hi,
I have flashed the latest version of your ROM and am very happy with it. The only thing which I recognized: the display goes active without intermittently without pressing the ON button at the right side of the Charmer. This is the case when the telephone is on. If the telephone is set to inactive this symptom vanishes.
Is there any setting to avoid this unwanted behaviour?

[marc-opolo]

Hello ridingshark,

first of all congratulations for your outstanding work. I´ve flashed your WM6 German Version two days before and I´m very happy with it.

Yet I discovered something: When I took a picture with the built-in camera, my charmer created a new folder "My Pictures". Now all pictures will be saved in this folder instead of the german "Eigene Bilder"-folder. How can I change this manually ? How can I link the "Eigene Bilder"-folder with the "Bilder"-icon on my iconlauncher-menu ?

Another question: Some icons (e.g. the "Home"-icon) are uncolored. Did you create them arbitrarily that way to save some amount of data or went something wrong during the flash-process ? I changed these icons manually, it looks really better now, but I´m not sure if I did something to my disadvantage.
What is your opinion ?

I discovered another problem with my touchflo surface. I can activate it, but after I´ve pressed an icon (e.g. email) It doesn´t appear for a second time. I have to make a reset, than it works again for one time.
What could be wrong there ?

Nevertheless these problems are peanuts. I appreciate your efforts and I´m proud of my charmer with your wm6-version.

Greetings from germany

Hello, never had this problems, did you perform an HARD RESET after flashing?
My pictures can be set in registry, dont know exactly where now.
YOu can use advanced config tools (freeeware) to set this.

Hello ridingshark!

I'll get on the end of upgrade, by running the Upgrade_ROM.BAT, the following message:

ERROR: Unable to open WinCE file '\windows' - Als R³ckgabewert von WSARecv oder WSARecvFrom zeigt dies an, dass die Gegenstelle das Herunterfahren veranlasst hat.

I thought - no problem, do it well, like decribed ... and? - it doesn't work ...
what is my mistake or what is wrong?

I've a MDA Compact II

SPL 3.08.000
GSM 02.69.21

Can you or someone else help me?

thx

Hi Friends,

maybe i didn`t realized the solution for my problem, but i can`t find it... i ask google and the built-in-search, but there`s no working link

maybe it`s a prob only with this rom, so here my problem:

i try to use a 4gb sdhc-card with a sd-adapter, but although i installed the sdhx-patches, it won`t work!
did i installed wrong patches? is my card incompatible? its a kingston

i searched nearly 12 hours, i`m desperate... usually i find nearly in 10 minutes the right answer

thx for your help

[youser]

Charmer does not support 4gb SDHC.
You can give 4gb SD (non-HC) a try.

[Rograto]

Hm, that isn`t the answer i was going to read ;-)

Anyway, thx for your reply.

[stuebi]

Hat super gefunzt..Danke :)

it worked quite well!

[stuebi]

sorry, USB loading does not work and I can not start XDADev_BatFix.exe

Any ideas?

Hi
I installed your Rom and it's really great. Butt seems that I made a mistake, I installed programms first and my GPRS-Data and installed the registry patch aftwerwards... now my ISP shows no gprs line even if I add a new one. Is there any way to set the settings back do default or do I have to hard reset ?

[ChrBeck]

You can set it in Einstellungen>Verbindungen. Maybe it works. Otherwise hard reset.

[|Shark|]

that's the problem... it even doesn't display the connections i add

Edit
I hard reset but afterwards i guessed it could be fixed with moving the old registry edits from the english folder to the new one, maybe a thing you could add to the .reg
