[Update] NEON WM6.1 V1- CE OS 5.2.1941 (Build 19209.1.0.2)

[seth2006]

OK guys,

Thanks to all hose who Beta tested the Neon WM6.1 Rom for the NEON.

I have just released V1:

Based on feedback from Beta testers this is the change log:

V1:

* Fixed HSPDA - When connection is idle 3G icon shows up, but when you use the connection it switches to HSPDA.

* Pagepool changed to 8mb

* Removed Diamond Dialer

* Kaiser Tweak

* Diamond USB to PC

* Reg Hack Hide Sim Contacts

* Reg Hack disable security warning



Important note: This Rom has only been tested with Radio 1.58.25.17. If you experience problems with your current Radio and this Rom you can download the Radio from the link at the bottom of the post.



These guys deserve a big thanks, Shortyboy and jcostanza4

Post #1 updated with new Rom.

[splark]

This worked perfectly with my Telstra HTC Touch dual (Neon) device.

For any other newbies like me, this is all I did-

Took my brand new Telstra Australia Touch Dual.

Installed the Neon Hard-spl here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260&highlight=neon

Then just installed the rom in this thread. It works great, though i've lost my Office Mobile apps.

I had no sound at all on the first boot, but after reboot (and it does tell you to reboot again) everything was fine.

Thanks! And I look forward to trying your future releases.

[splark]

An update on my install, I did actually end up having issues where as soon as a call was made or received all sound stopped working (which obviously makes calls a problem)

As per the original post, installing the updated Radio which took me from version .15 to .17 seems to have fixed this problem.

[jbngar]

So are you saying that this ROM doesn't have
* video calling
* office apps
* or SOLITAIRE!?

Can they be installed afterwards or anything?

Cheers
jbng :-)

[jbngar]

Okay so I freaked a little when the camera stopped working and my guitar tuner wouldn't work, but it turned out I had to update the radio and that fixed both problems. It does seem to be smoother too.

Office apps are there, solitaire is there, but alas no video calling.

Can you get a third party app to do that, or will we have to re-flash the ROM if and when you add the 3G dialer?

I'm getting a bit sick of this hard reset rigmarole - although I am getting much more efficient at it!

Appreciate your work Seth - keep it up. BTW, the ROM update seems to have fixed my 'not waking up from standby' issues.

Cheers
jbng :-)

[wmn79]

You can use User Customization, works for me you only have to run it once after the hard reset and all you've configured will be setup. Maybe if Seth is really nice he will include it in his rom the next time so you don't have to run it manually.

I'll try to make a cab for Video call now that i have figured out how to fix it.

You can always try my new Rom it has video dialing built in.

Thanks for all your work Seth

The ROM is working great - no lockups at all since installing it.

I seem to have conflicting information about Bluetooth being affected by radio ROMs - what's your opinion? The reason I ask is that my bluetooth range is pretty shocking (it won't even go through one thin wall in the next room) and I was thinking that maybe one of the newer radio roms might improve it.

Will the Niki roms on the radio page work in a Neon? Should 1.65x radios work with your ROMs? The 1.65s there seem to be from a Kaiser.

The other thing I've seen is a HTC-supplied 'bluetooth hotfix' for the TytnII - any opinion on that?

We'll hang out for your video calling CAB/ROM too. Not that I ever really video call, but if someone asks 'can you do video calling?' I want to be able to say that I can... ;-b

Actually that's a thing - if someone video calls ME, will I be able to answer with the current ROM?

Cheers mate

See post 1 for the new Video Dialer.

In regards to the radios have a read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502

I haven´t had much time to play with Radios. I´m using the radio of my post and my bluetooth is fine. The range is excellent, i live on the second floor and i still can get my cars bluetooth out the back in the carpark.

Hey Seth

VIDEO DIALER: didn't work. At all. I installed the cab, soft reset and had no phone dialer whatsoever. I don't mind reflashing the rom if that's what needs to be done - is the rom file on the front page updated with the video dialer? Or if the cab doesn't work will the rom not work too?

RADIO ROMS: it seems that the one you list is the best and latest for the Neon. The Niki ones and the Kaiser ones simply won't load. It's largely irrelevant anyway - because I don't think it's the phones problem...

BLUETOOTH: I faffed around for ages last night doing some tests with my dual and my decrepit old o2 mini (which used to have great bluetooth range) and it seems that the problem may be with the transmit power on my *computer* rather than on the dual. I left my dual next to my laptop at one end of the house, and then went to the other end of the house and did a search with the o2 mini. it found the dual but NOT the computer. I swapped phones and searched with the dual from the other end of the house and the same thing happened. So the phones have good range to each other, but they're both having trouble finding the computer.

I'm just waiting to get my hands on another laptop with bluetooth and then I can see if I need to call the good folk at Dell to replace my bluetooth module perhaps.

I'm also wondering if the laptop has gotten into its head that it's a 1m device instead of a 10m device. It's strange that I've only noticed it since getting my new phone, and now the old phone seems to have limited range too.

Anyways, blah blah blah - please let me know if you get any further with the video dialling in either the rom or the cab - and/or if there's anything you'd like me to test out for you.

Cheers

I will do two things tonight.

1 - I'll flash this Rom back on my device, i'm currently using SETHS DIAMOND V2 Build 19214.1.0.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403436). And i'll try to work out why the Cab doesn't work.

I'll rebuild this rom and include the video dialer if point one fails.

Cheers

Hey Seth

In the interests of 'giving something back' - here's a handful of splash screens for the diamond and the neon for you to take or leave...

Your 'logo' is supposed to be a square ROM chip but with griddle lines over it (you're a chef, after all). It also happens to be an 'S'.

If you want any further tweaks or raw files let me know.

Cheers
jbng :-)

PS. While we're on the subject of splash screens, I get an 'access denied' error when I try to replace the windows mobile startup .png file on your latest Neon ROM. Any ideas why that would be the case? With the previous ROM my file just copied straight over the top.

Hi jbng,

Thanks for the wonderful images. The only program i know that can overwrite system files is Total commander. Just copy the file to your storage card and then use total commander to overwrite.

If that doesn´t work i posting 4 cabs on my latest Neon Rom for who ever wants to use your great artwork.

Regarding the Video dialer i just realized that RV1 has video calling, only the public beta didn´t. Please update your rom to either V1 or V"2.

Thanks

[neotekgeek]

Seth-

This ROM has been solid for about a week now. I've tried flashing to your other versions, but this seems to be the best working for the NEON300, in my opinion, thus far.

[dam26]

Does anybody have video calling working on a neon300 using at&t in the U.S. ????:confused:

[bignerd972]

could someone please re-seed this rom.... pretty please with cheese

[seth2006]

Will update another version soon.

[yogioz]

After intial trouble with Hard-SPL-NEON (stuck on Tri-Color) I found that the following from the KAISER SIM/CID Unlocker and changer thread worked:

4. After some time you get a communication error Message. DON'T RESET YOUR MOBILE DEVICE. DON'T TOUCH IT.
5. Press Exit to quit KaiserUnlocker.exe on your Desktop machine.
6. Unplug and replug the USB cable.
7. Start the 'hard-neon-spl' again and wait a little bit.
8. Your mobile device will reapper.

I am now going through the set up phase. If I come across anything worthwhile I'll report back. So far so good and great work!

Hello there,

I really like this Rom, it's quick and fast compared to the standard Telstra rom that comes with this phone. Unfortunately, i've got one problem with it that prevents me from using it atm.

When i try and connect my Route 66 bluetooth GPS unit, it comes up with an error when i try to enter the password when pairing. The GPS is fine as it works with the standard rom. I have tried updating the radio roms first to 1.58.25.17 then to 1.71.09.01 but the issue remains.

If anyone can come up with a solution for this I would greatly appreciate it as I would love to keep this rom on my phone.

[quochoang8882]

Hi all, this rom is very good but i can't use GPRS for my PDA. I do everything but...
please help me ... how to fix it:(
