[WM6.1] =Update= Charmer WM6.1 by ChrBeck =Update= (Update: 12.08.2008)

[ChrBeck]

I've made an WM6.1 ROM with HTC Diamond look for Charmer.



It is slim and good for using.

How to install this ROM:
1)Before you install the ROM run Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab on your device. Don't forget to reset after that.
2)Now run Upgrade_ROM.bat and wait till its finished.
3)Make a hard reset and let it start. (For the first time, this can take up to 5 min.)
4)Now run BatFix.CAB on your device. Then reset the device. This is very important, because without that you can't charge your Charmer

[Critical_C]

I wait for long time and You come THANK YOU

[ChrBeck]

I hope I can upload this ROM tomorow, but I have to say it isn't perfect. If someone out here has got a working cameradriver, please tell me. I've got one, but the camera is wrong side up and that isn't funny.

[vlodeck]

I've PMed you about the camera. It's not the driver but registry value.

[youser]

are you going to provide an English or a German version of your ROM?
Maybe you can work together with ridingshark and vlodeck, so we get both versions :-)

[vlodeck]

No need for me here. Besides, I'm done with rom cooking for now. Ridingshark can translate the upcoming rom into German. It's not a problem once you have done it already.

[youser]

aaah, sorry. I thought you're still 'in business' ;-)

[ChrBeck]

Seen whit Camera. And this is in English. I will try to translate. If I am not able to do so, I will ask Ridingshark for help. But I think changing some files isn't very hard it was harder to get this ROM working.

Look at the first post. The Rom will be there this night or tomorow.

Have a nice evening.

[youser]

Known bugs:
After using the camera the Screen doesn't turn back. (It stays in landskape mode)
This seems to be a known problem. Maybe you can use the solution provided in the following thread:

Hi All. Ok Camera all right. Soft Key http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355818

[ChrBeck]

Thank you for the informations. I will try to fix it. Hope you like the ROM.
Let's wait what the poll says in a few days.

[andor44]

First i wanna say sorry for 2 things:
1st. Im a completley newbie to PDA-s,and you can laugh on my question
2nd. Sorry for my bad english
So my question:Does it work with MDA Compact? With the first one.

[ChrBeck]

No, soory. It doesn't work with the first one, because the first one as an other CPU. This other CPU isn't suported by WM 5 and upper.

[andor44]

KK. But what would happen , if i would try to install it ?:O

[ChrBeck]

Tried with the camera, but mine was upside down before. I fixed that, but now it doesn't go back to mormal mode. And for that there is no fix.

Does anyone know: Can I write scrips that do an action after runing a program. (That would be the solution, because I can run the screen rotate after using the camera.)

[andor44]

You mean it messes up the camera?

[ChrBeck]

No the Camera works very fine. But if it runs the camera app, it changeshe screen to landscape. And when I close the camera app, it doesn't change back to portrait.

[Mr-400-Volt]

Hi, work this version on my mda compact II ? And is it english or german ?

Thank´s

[ChrBeck]

MDA Compact 2 is HTC Charmer. Yes it will work.
And it is English. I'm working on an German Version.

[thechosen]

Hey Christoph,

hope you'll release the german version soon, can't wait for it longer :) Thanks for your great work!

-so long

[ChrBeck]

I'm trying to make a new English Version now. Germen will follow very soon.

[TheNT]

Great work!
Camera fixed with cam_fix_touch.

Keep good work

Missing softkey changer, added it also.

[smolki]

Hey guys.

I have 6.0 rom from vlodec.
Should i downgrade to 5.0 befoure upgrad to 6.1 ??

[kittyavo]

Hey guys.

I have 6.0 rom from vlodec.
Should i downgrade to 5.0 befoure upgrad to 6.1 ??

Hi!

Yes, first downgrade to 5.0, and then upgrade to 6.1.

[kittyavo]

Hi!

i use wm6.1 for charmer. it's great, but i like add extra OEM pack and other application to ROM. I run buildos then buildimgfs stop with error. What is the problem?

thx

sorry my bad english...

[ChrBeck]

If you don't get the stuff in the ROM:
First posibility: If you only want it for you install the Packs as cabs on your Device.
Second posibility: Send the stuff to me I can cook it in the new Version, that all can use it.

Or write the problem it gives to you and I will tell you why.

thx,

my re-pack method ;)
prepare-imgfs os.nb -n
dump_imgfs imgfs_raw...
pkgtool move missing files and directories
edit my SYS and OEM folder what i want:
add batterystatus, smsfix, windows live,rdp klient, and some other app.
then run buildos, prep_imgfs, buildimgfs, makeimgfs
and update new os.nb to mdacp2

my experience:
some small application works great, but add all my favorits app. buildimgfs send error encountered... end stop

i think your os.nb file size too small for my 'big' app, but this method works fine with vlodeck 6.0 rom.

have any idea?

[ChrBeck]

In 1h there will be a new Version with more stuff and other feeling.

[ChrBeck]

Wait for new Version and try then. There is much inside now and it is very big. And maybe your faforite apps are inside now. If not I can only recoment to install as cabs. But you can alos try to recook new Version. If you want to make your Version public, please ask me before. (But for me it looks that you only use it for you)

Have a nice day
ChrBeck

[ChrBeck]

I've done something wrong with the ROM Folder. The ROM can't boot. Because of this there will be no new ROM bevore 25. of July. Sorry for that.

i wait, for a new one.

[ChrBeck]

Soory that it will take till the new Version is there, but I've done it wrong and I go no holidays now.

[sky of love]

Sry, I am Vietnamese, I'm not write English ...
but I see missing your phantom ROM:
1. No soft button setting.
2. No games :D.
3. No system tray icon (battery, commanager ...)
I hope you fix ...
<=== Noobs English :(

[ChrBeck]

I've already written that there will be a new Version. There are much fixes in it. But I've done something wrong and it will take maybe 2 weeks to fix. Then The problems should be fixed.

[Tichy]

Wow, great implimentation of 6.1, best thing is my charmer's batter life. Using the WM6 Touchflo rom i was gettin two days standby time with nothing but the phone function, now with this ROM I have everything running, BT (in visible mode), Push E-mail, Beam, three other e-mail accounts, SD card in and listenting to an hour+ music a day and getting 6 days between charges.

Looking forward to the next version, hope there are some more standard bits, like newer comms manager and games. Apart from that, it's brill!

Tichy

[ChrBeck]

Tahnk you very much. The better battery live is also on my Charmer, but only 3 days now. (1 and a half before).

[azhar63]

Not legible character. Wm5,Wm6 touchflo good.
Not 6.1 character error?

[ChrBeck]

[ChrBeck]

I uploaded it to MegaUpload, bacuase it is not hard to download it. There will be a new Version tomorow. I will look if I can upload This Version also somewhere else.

[kittyavo]

Hi!

thx, it's a great rom for charmer, i don't repack your rom, my solution - convert my favorits software or oem pack to cab and install it, its work fine.

my question:
i don't find bluetooth connection in activesync ? have you solution for this one.

thanks...

[ChrBeck]

Here is a package. Try to overwrite everything in here. And change the registery Values that they are like in the RGU file. Don't know if it will work.

[kittyavo]

i try this, but is not work. i think, repllog.exe contain connection with bluetooth.

thx,bye.

[ChrBeck]

Sorry, but I can't help you then. I have only reecooked the Wizard ROM. Try to take this dll from Vlodecks ROM, maybe this will help.

[baedamichi]

A great Rom, I'd even say it's almost perfect. Slim, fast and reliable.

Just one question, do you think it's possible to get SDHC cards running in a Charmer with WM 6.1? Tried the SDHC Driver for WM5 and 6 (from this site), no success :(

[kittyavo]

Sorry, but I can't help you then. I have only reecooked the Wizard ROM. Try to take this dll from Vlodecks ROM, maybe this will help.

ok, i try it, thx.

[ChrBeck]

I have never tryed to use an SDHC Card. I think the Drivers are included in Wm 6.1. But I can't know. If no driver from here can enable SDHC I don't think that I can. But I will look at it tomorow.

[kittyavo]

i try this, but is not work. i think, repllog.exe contain connection with bluetooth.

thx,bye.

bthasplugin.dll was wrong, i take it from from Vlodecks ROM, it's work fine. thanks.

[ChrBeck]

Thank you for the information. I will add the working Version in my next ROM Version.

[reus]

Hello there!

At first I want to thank you for your excellent work! WM6.1 works perfect on my Charmer - but I´m missing the TouchFlo features... Are they missing or went something wrong during my intallation/flashing??

thanks in advance, reus.


EDIT: Expansion Slot doesn´t work! And the IntelliDialler function is not available...

[ChrBeck]

The expansion slot works fine on mine, so I think this is a problem of your Device. Touchflo is there and working on mine. If you mean the Cube, it isn't there. There will be a cube in the next release.

Try to reinstall the ROM and TouchFlo and the expansion slot should work. I don't know what InteliDialer is so I can't say something about it.

Have a nice day.

ChrBeck

[Critical_C]

Yes Yes Yes !!! Thanks a lot

[ChrBeck]

Does my very new release work? I haven't tried it.

[smolki]

Works fine. Its fast !!! I think better than voldec roms. Or its just new release of wm.
Knows bugs on that new release 0.2.3

I have problems with bluetooth!! I cant send a file from another phone to my charmer.
I can recognize devices but reciving a file can be problematic.
Dunno why.

It would be great to have a bim backup and simmanager in programs folder!! :D.

p.s. keep up the good work !!!!!!!!! and sorry for my english :D~~

[Tichy]

Just about to try version 0.2.3. Although in 2.2 the on-screen call button didn't work with last caller, quite annoying. Also might be useful to include the Network Wizard, or at least the cab file, to speed up set up of the device.
The only other one i would request you add is the Cyberion Voice Speed Dial software. I use it when the phone is paired to my car kit.

Keep up the good work. :)
Tichy

[ChrBeck]

Bluetooth is known. There is a wrong dll fixed in next Version.
I will add the Networkwizard and maybe the Dialsoftware.

Better wait 3 Days or so and the fixed Version will be out. Install it then.
Have a nice day.

[smolki]

There is problem with upgrading procces. There is no os.nb. I saw that there is a file called os-new.nb. Quick rename and works fine.
So if u can change this for people who cant read errors it would be grat :D.

THX for that rom but steal i dont see some basics apps like backups etc.
Oh and it would be great to have an english version of htc home plugin and htc customizer.

Keep up the good work !!!

[ChrBeck]

File is renamed. Soory that HTC home Plugin is German. It is the only OEM that worked in my ROM. I will ad the customizer, so that you can change the language.

I will change the file and upload again.

Thank you very much for that information.

[kecinzer]

Very nice ROM!
I used Essential ROM from nocturne, whitch is so fast. This ROM is fast too and maybe faster! Excelent.
Is there any way, to turn text messages to old style, not new chat style?

[ChrBeck]

I don't have any link now and no time to search. But simply search the forum and you will find something.

[cyberdel]

@kecinzer: Download the Attached file and install from your Charmer, then old style is back.
gReeTs cYBERdEL

[ChrBeck]

This are the files I meant. Thank you cyberdel

[mr44er]

So far everything ok, but I can´t push the 'ok', 'x' buttons in the upper right.

Seems, that I can push them, and their function is given, but these windows don't close and I have to get back per start->heute

Found another bug...when I write a SMS and quit, I say, don't save SMS the windows logo is turning in loopback and hangs

[ChrBeck]

The Problem that the windows don't close is sometimes also on mine. But this is because WM never closes any Window it runs it in the back. The SMS thing isn't on mine.

Have you done a hard reset atfer flashing was complete?

[mr44er]

Sure.

I tried a little more, and the SMS-bug is gone.

Mhm...it seems that sometimes the right downside reacts instead of the x button. A driver issue?

[ChrBeck]

You are the first one with this problem. Because of this I don't think it is the dirver. But to be shure: Do you mean the software button on the upper right or the hardware button? I'm a littlebit confused now.

[mr44er]

the software button.

the hardware button for 'ok' was assigned by you for the right hw button, and this works. but not the software x.

i know that windows doesn't really close its windows, but like i said when i try to push it with the pen, the right downside reacts. and i tried to reconfigure the display, this works fine but not the x :rolleyes:

[ChrBeck]

Please tell me: Is your device G3 or G4? (It is G3 if the SPL ends with 0 and G4 if it ends with one. I ask that because on mine there is no OK butten but a calendar button.

Normaly it is necesarry what type it is: Till it goes to drivers.

So please tell me.

[mr44er]

ipl 3.08
spl 3.08.0000
gsm 02.69.21
os 6.1.0.0

;)

Before I used Charmer WM6 TouchFLO without problems ;)

[ChrBeck]

OK. Now I don't know more to do sorry. Best is to install pBar or something like that to close the programms completly.

Sorry again.

And now one Question to all:
Can you add contcts to pocket outlook? When I add one it gives me an error.
If you can add them on using your mobile: Are you syncing whit outlook or not.
Thank you very much.

[mr44er]

adding contacts works without problems. and i inserted my old contacts with pimbackup

[ChrBeck]

Ok. Have you tried my PBar idea? Is it working?

[stez54]

Thanks for your work on this, seems to work great,

Looks great also
:)

[kecinzer]

I discovered slow speed using GSM module. When someone call me, there is long delay. At first I see that unknown calling me and after few second I see whitch person is it.
People then telling me, that i dont answer long time, but i dont know who calling me :).
This is strange behaviour and in WM6 isnt. Everything else is faster, but only this is strange.

Sorry for my english :)

[ChrBeck]

On my Device (using EPlus card) it works ok. What card are you using? When I know that I can help you better.

[kecinzer]

Vodafone CZ.
But this behaviour is not permanent. Yesterday, when I have several calls, it works ok, but today was shown unknown for few moments again.

[ChrBeck]

Because it isn't always it's a problem of your card I think. Maybe Vodavone is changing their System or something like that.

[bela07]

my pda t mobile mda compact pm10a wm6 ıs no ınsaalıng hepl plz msn addresse anilsezerel@w.cn

[ChrBeck]

Your Device is a Magician. There is only WM2003 for that device. Your CAN'T install this ROM on your device.

[hdanhbka]

Hi,the best appearance i've ever seen!tks so much.
But a little trouble, My charmer restarts continuously when the batt gets to 50% and i cannot use it anymore!
I wonder that should I downgrade to wm5:(?

[ChrBeck]

Haven't heard about that any time before. Try to downgrade to WM5 again. When the problem stays your Battery is damaged.

[Arbait]

Worked ok for me. Thanks!
Maybe in a future release you are gonna stuf some apps inside? :) Like for lazy ppl :D

[ChrBeck]

There will be more apps, when there is time.

I will first translate HTC Home Plugin to english and then add some Diamond apps.

[kecinzer]

I have simple question.
Is there any way how customize HTC home plugin. Especialy its height.
I using on home screen SPB mobile shell, SPB Phone Suite and SPB Diary an I want to replace firts two with THC home, but its too long :)

[ChrBeck]

You can't change the hight, but you can deactivate it. Go to settings>personal>Today>Items and uncheck HTC Home.

[kecinzer]

I know, but I like it expect height :).
What a Shame.

[kecinzer]

I have more one notice.
When I speaking with someone, at display is not showing call duration. Why?

[TheNT]

Can you try to put files on www.mediafire.com?
Much better and easier...

[ChrBeck]

I'll do for the next version. (I thing it'll be out at the weekend)
