*Updated: October 12th* NFSFAN's Custom WM6.5 ROMs

[Peteman100]

I'm having another issue with the 1.07 Sprint ROM. I've had my phone freeze on me twice today. I believe I was using Opera 9.5 beta 15233 both times. I also have ThrottleLock 0.4 running in the background as well. Think it is one of the apps causing the issue? I'll do some more testing and try to report back.

[Peteman100]

im not sure how to use this.... do you just use the ROMupdateutility?

also does this erase all my contact list that i currently have? it says it deletes my stuff...?? any help

Yeah, use the ROM update utility. And yes, everything will be erased! So back up the info you want to hold onto.

[aranu]

thanks for the reply! just one last thing, how do I properly back up my phone? i copied all the folders, but that cant be all i do right?

[aranu]

sorry for double posting... when i try to update the rom, i keep getting a error... can't fix this either. any help? im on a htc touch telus p3050... any help?

[mfpreach]

im not sure how to use this.... do you just use the ROMupdateutility?

also does this erase all my contact list that i currently have? it says it deletes my stuff...?? any help

Yes it does remove all your data. It acts like a hard reset. Download and use PIMbackup if you are concerned about this. I don't worry about it because I use mail2web's free exchange server.

[goldengraham]

HEY NFS.
Great work with the ROMs, have been using them since they first started popping up on PPCGeeks, great to see you over here now.

With the new rom, is there a way to make the keyboard work with the newest version of Opera? the letters dont seem to work :S

Keep up the good work.

I'll post new betas tonight running the SYS and XIP 21014, and a range of new fixes/improvements.

I'll post new betas tonight running the SYS and XIP 21014, and a range of new fixes/improvements.

Quick question for you or anyone else who might know... been looking around... what is new in the 21009, 21014, and 21109 SYS/XIP? I hear there's some unreleased WM65 stuff hiding in there? Are they significantly faster or different?

[NFSFAN]

All betas are up including the new 1.01 Alltel!!! Sprint and Telus coming tomorrow.

21109 is a fake hex edit build. 21014 is real, and it has better battery scaling, boot time is shorter, and overall responsiveness is better.

Yumm :) I'll dload this wkend, can't wait!

Thanks for making such quick work of it!

[blaudick]

Is there any way to get separate volume controls for all the different alarms and notifications? For example, I would like to be able to set my alarms at a certain volume and my txt notification at a different volume.

Thanks NFSFAN, keep up the good work!

[hemirunner426]

MMS is still broken, but now you have the right version. :)
Take a look at those provxml files in that OEM i gave you as they provide the correct settings. SetMMSD.exe seems to be required as well on startup.

[jack0131]

Hi NFSFAN,

My Bell HTC touch pairs with the car no problem. But every time a call ends. The BT pairing will turn off. I have to do it again manually. Has the been an issue in the later versions?
Thank you.



Bell 1.24 with radio 3.42.50

OK, I will put the OEM exactly as you gave it to me. However, the Alltel MDN is in the registry. I just used a different method to input it. Can you please check where I screwed up on the MMS thanks.

[amad99]

NFSFAN,

The Bell link for downloading seems to be down....

[NFSFAN]

I have released new Betas. Please test those. ULDR has been removed for speed gain + rom space. Check the changelog for more info on what has been changed.

[eric2k]

The new mp3 trimmers even more stable. Tried some random bit rates. works nice.

[goldengraham]

NFSFAN, would it be possible to change the keyboard to one that is compatible with Opera?

Thanks
GG

[ramirata]

I know you are not a fan on touchpal but i have a quick question for you. Touchpal seems to work perfectly in 1.09, however in 1.10 and 1.11 touchpal can no longer "predict addresses" in SMS on Verizon. I have done searches on this and i know there are work arounds that have a drop list form when you change the registry, but they are partially blocked by top bar. In 1.09 and previous versions, touchpal worked like the full qwerty installed in the rom, but not in 1.10 or 1.11. Is there any suggestions you can make?
Thanks
P.S. Hey Harley! I feel like a NFSFAN groupie following NFSFAN on tour!! NFSFAN, your ROMS are great and congrats on the Gators and Tebo's return.

This is because the tmail.exe was swapped for the older one which has multi-select. This is why your touchpal keyboard may not work properly.

[chaovy]

Thank you best rom use operator hutch. I can connect to Internet Hutch.

[vilord]

This is because the tmail.exe was swapped for the older one which has multi-select. This is why your touchpal keyboard may not work properly.

Well I guess we found a bad side effect of the old tmail... I wonder which we should use going forward..... I think I'm okay without multi-select, or using a cab to fix it, but its up to you which direction you want to go.

I'll get beta 2 on my phone tday or tmorrow, and let you know if i find anything. Thank you!

[ramirata]

Thanks for the response. Can i install the new tmail over the older version? Also, beta 2 does not let me install TomTom, it hangs up during install prior to selecting location of install.

[Peteman100]

This is because the tmail.exe was swapped for the older one which has multi-select. This is why your touchpal keyboard may not work properly.

I am also a Touchpal user that would appreciate some sort of fix for this. A work-around method, such as a CAB install, would be fine.

[NFSFAN]

Install this CAB, it should fix your problem.

[ramirata]

When I try to run the cab on my phone it says that installation unsuccessful the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
Any ideas?

[hemirunner426]

OK, I will put the OEM exactly as you gave it to me. However, the Alltel MDN is in the registry. I just used a different method to input it. Can you please check where I screwed up on the MMS thanks.

Alltel_MMS_Settings.provxml has an error in it. It may be because it is referenceing a file copy of SetMMSD.exe to the startup folder however that file does not exist. You will need to remove that reference out of the provxml file and change the registry setting called "ReportAllowed" to "0". It is set under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ArcSoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1.

That should take care of the MMS settings for Alltel :)

[topfox124]

Ok this is what I did. I installed the leaked Verizon WM6.1 rom and let the customizations run. I then Unlocked the phone with cokeman 2.31, loaded v1.10 of NFSFAN custom rom, and loaded the 3.37 radio. After this I found the links to the AGPS Fix, so I proceeded with the steps to install the drivers, use QPST to update GPSone, and then installed the CAB according to the directions in the post. When I run GPS viewer, it locates GPS on COM 4, but it never connects to any satellites. When I try Google maps, it attempts to locate satellites and also never connects. Any one have any ideas as to what I might be missing. I did very my location settings aren't set to 911, and so forth.

Thanks in advance. I have been looking through posts since yesterday and I think the little lady is getting pissed that I am spending some much time on this :)

[topfox124]

Basically followed the steps from the WIKI, which have you unlock with 40, flash Sprint, unlock with 31, flash Verizon, flash NFSFAN v1.10, followed aGPS instructions 1-15. Everything is working great now. Thanks for everyones efforts here. I am a newbie and this stuff is awesome. I used to hate my 6900, but now have a new love for it. Thanks again.

[jmitr]

Well, I decided to flash to a custom ROM for the first time since M2D came out.

I must say, incredibly nice job NFSFAN. I thought my setup was fast, your ROM is way faster. The music sounds better in my car, my games play excellent (the ones that had a bit of chop don't anymore), and I never got the photoalbum working proper in the M2D cab installs. I was just using the old HTC album instead. This is far better. I did do the regedit to get rid of the camera noise though.

I also started TomTom to test my GPS (Mine has always been awesome).....6 sec from start to sat fix. I'll test it while flying and back home in BC to be sure.

My one beef is the slide to answer, Is it possible to change that to a button instead? I browsed through a few option menus and haven't found anything yet.

Overall....solid ROM, I'm not sure why I haven't flashed your ROM in such a long time. The new one is a night and Day difference. Outstanding job.

[jmitr]

1. Remembered I had to edit my signature!!:cool:

2. NFSFAN, your opera version is great as well. I used opera:config to make some of my normal adgustments but I like your overall build.

Remembering to answer my question from the last post (please!!), could I have your permission to post this opera build (named as is, NFSFAN Opera 9.5 Build 15316) in the development and hacking section? I think the rest of the community would love it as well. You would have full reckognition, credits and thanks of course.

Make sure you quit out of outlook on the phone first (all messaging apps), then it should install...
Thats how we used to do it for getting multi-select to work with the older tmail in a cab.

Yes, you may.

[NFSFAN]

Alltel_MMS_Settings.provxml has an error in it. It may be because it is referenceing a file copy of SetMMSD.exe to the startup folder however that file does not exist. You will need to remove that reference out of the provxml file and change the registry setting called "ReportAllowed" to "0". It is set under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ArcSoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1.

That should take care of the MMS settings for Alltel :)

Thanks. I'll fix this in the next beta release.

[xjcracker]

So you installed the VZW GPS rom... did you run customizations? If so, there are a number of steps you need to take to get GPS to work on NFSFAN's roms... I can post up a link latr if u need it.

As for the first attempt, NFSFan's rom wouldn't have booted at all (it would sit at the boot splash and stick there) if you didn't put on an updated radio first.


Yes. It was the lack of an updated radio that kept stumping me.

I actually followed these instructions and this worked out perfectly:

All seems great! Thanks NFSFAN!

[Peteman100]

Is Opera 9.5 Build 15316 included in your new ROMs? I can't seem to find it in the Sprint beta.

[jmitr]

NFSFAN:

While researching a way to change the slide to answer/ignore slider to buttons I came across this:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=53600

The dev there says he fixed the broken data arrow issue for the CDMA version of the Dialer.

If you can "deconstruct" it and figure how that's done and it helps you out....great....if not, oh well, just trying to help.

P.S. Thanks again for the fantastic ROM

[philf]

I for one happen to like the slide to answer...I hope you don't remove it...

Oh and for an unknown reason I can't get the Internet tab to open opera ( running NFSFAN's version of opera...any thoughts?

Cheers
Phil.

Yeah I actually found that and installed it. Definitely my favorite Opera build by far!

[NFSFAN]

He didn't dev anything. All that was done there was to rip the CDMA Dialer from a TouchPro ROM. This won't work on our phone since its VGA. We have QVGA. All that he did was package the oem into a cab, and the black style he photoshopped it to black.

I recently went from the leaked vzw 6.1 rom with valhalla to NFSFAN's 1.1 rom. The only thing is, I cannot seem to get the GpS to work with his rom. Are there special steps I am supposed to do to get it to work? I tried installing Valhalla but it did nothing.

Running Bell 1.27 Beta 3. I don't seem to be able to initiate Voice Command over Bluetooth. With 1.26 I was able to press and hold the call button to activate Voice Command (i.e. and say "Call so-and-so at mobile").

Anyone else seeing this issue?

[goldengraham]

Hey sorry NFS, I need to be more specific. The COMPACT QWERTY doesn't work in Opera, the others work fine.

COMPACT QWERTY just shows numbers, regardless of being in T9 or ABC.

The version is Opera I'm using is the one credited to you!

Thanks
GG

[Ksibly]

Not sure if others are have the same trouble, I receive text messages fine but when I send a text message the text is either blank or grabled. Is this a know issue or new?

[Iorkca]

Ok really sorry if this is noob of me but i did search the vogue forums and just can't seem to find my answer. I have a bell phone and i would like to know what "'free' tethering 'internet sharing' work for Bell" is. If someone can point me into an explanation thread on what this is and what not i would be ever so greatfull. I will moving to this custom rom today and it is my first custom rom i believe i have all i need to do it, i got the coke program to unlock the phone and the new rom itself so i beleive i am all set. I'm gonna do some more searching see if i can figure it out but if anyone can help me out as i said i would be very greatfull.

I downloaded the Telus Rom from the first page and it creates an error.. can anyone help me? i noticed on pg 13 all the new roms are up but i dont see the new telus rom there... where is the new telus rom???

If you don't know what it is you don't need it :p

Tethering is connecting a computer to your mobile device (via usb or Bluetooth) to obtain Internet connectivity for the computer using the mobile device's wireless data connection.

[Iorkca]

ok thanks for the response, i was able to figure out what it was but what im having trouble with now is exactly how to do it with NFSFAN's custom bell rom. I live in an area where highspeed is not available and being able to use my phone to allow me to surf faster and for free would be a gods send. So if you could point me to a post to tell me what i need to do to get it working over usb preferable would be great. I would like to also be able to share it over my network if that would be possible so i could use not only my laptop but my desktop (desktop has no free usb ports right now)

thanks again for helping out the noob here aswell, appreciate it.

You need to use the program on the phone called "internet sharing". Hit connect with that when you have the usb cable connected, and it'll install the drivers, should just work on your laptop. To share out to your desktop you'd need to do some bridging stuff on your laptop that's beyond the scope of this site, but would be the same as if you were sharing any other network connection (google is your friend)

[Peteman100]

NFSFAN, would it be possible to let me use your M2D theme for my personal ROM? I like your ROM a lot, but I can't use it because of compatibility problems I experienced with Touchpal. Let me know if something can be worked out. Thanks!

[Iorkca]

Thanks again for the response being so quick. Anyone had any issues with bell finding out at all. From what i have read NFSFAN's rom is pretty solid at no being detected by bell when tethering. Just wondering if anyone has had any bad experiences.

I use his roms, and I use Touchpal.
The only issue I've seen is when I try to type in Opera.
It defaults to the standard keyboard.
I just figured it was an issue w/ my version of Opera.

That's pretty much it. No matter what method I tried, I couldn't get Touchpal to stay as the default keyboard. It always reverted to the tiny Microsoft qwerty. I tried SIPChange, regedits, and every version of Opera I could find. However, OMJ just remade his M2D ROM over at PPCGeeks and I was able to get Touchpal to work with Opera build 15316 on that. Not sure what the difference was though. Might have something to do with the fact that I can build Touchpal into his ROM rather than installing through UC like with NFSFAN's ROM.

Just don't abuse it (i.e. GBs per month) and you should fly under the radar.

I tried 5 times yesterday to update my ROM and no luck. I have Radio 3.42.30 and I can't find 3.42.50 anywhere. Can someone help me?

[Iorkca]

I am not sure what provider your with but from what i gather people are using the new Bell rom to get the radio upgraded. you would be best to search for that for i am not sure the exact going ons about it since i am still new here also.


Quick question on my part the weather app does not have my city if i just change the xml file will it work with your custom bell rom right away or is there another program i need to run first.

P.S. just got my phone setup with your custom rom NFSFAN loving it thanks for all your hard work.

[blasteryui]

I'm having troubles with the CAM, how do I change it to video, also I can't access the cams settings?

I just figured it was an issue w/ my version of Opera.

I keep trying nfsfan's newer roms and keep going back to 1.09 because of touchpal issues. I dont really care that i cant get it to stay as default after reboot, the problem i cannot live with is the autocomplete for sms addresses. With 1.09 it works perfectly, with 1.10, 1.11 and 1.11 (2) even after Tmail.cab it does not autocomplete sms. I have used the registry change of xt9 to compime.dll fix but its not the same.
Thanks

[jf11time]

I was able to update my ROM, but, still have the 3.42.30 radio. Everything seems to be working just fine.

[Iorkca]

Hey guys me again, got a couple questions.

1. Tethering i cant seem to make it work this is what i am doing. In active sync i checkmarked the allow wireless modem connection thing. When i connect with usb i choose internet connection sharing and then i hit connect on the next screen. The computer shows the connection as there and connected but nothing will use the connection. It just acts like i have no internet at all.

2. Customizing the look - is there a way i can change the black background, clock look, weather pictures and possibly icons to something different, without messing up the keyboards and the tray bar at the bottom which i love. Now don't get me wrong i like the look i just want to know if i get tired of it can i easily change it back and forth.

3. this problem might be related. The music note on the little task bar forever just searches for my library and never finds it so i cant use it. Also my audio manager screen opens and then immediatly closes on me so i cant set anything or do anything in that program.

4. Possible bug, i was in a phone call today and i put it on speaker briefly, upon taking it off speaker i was getting an echo of my own voice in the earpiece, i had to actually hang up and call back to fix the problem, any ideas.

5. This one is probably easy, when you install programs they just install into the programs menu, is there anyway to put them from there into specific folders. Example i installed pocket uno and pocket racko and would like the icons for launching them to be in the games folder not the programs folder. Ive been looking through the folders a bit but i'm kinda worried about messing something up.

Off the top of my head that's all the issues i needed help with and would greatly appreciate whatever help i can get. Also i fixed my weather city problem and got it working. And i'm loving this custom rom.

1. You don't need to check anything in activesync. All you do is run Internet Sharing, and press connect, or run it from the USB screen that appears when u plug in the phone.

2. Yes, there are several themes here on xda. Use manila2d customizer to put them on.

3. Not a ROM problem. Check your music directory, and delete everything that is not a music file (omit jpg or album art). Also on SDCard delete XMEdiaLibrary file

4. No idea about this. I don't use a BT headset, so I don't know. Did you happen by any chance to use the Voice Command feature over bluetooth, as that will only be fixed in the unreleased to be coming beta.

5. Using totalcommander navigate to windows dir. Then StartMenu, grab your program, and put it into games.

[Iorkca]

Thanks for the response NFSFAN really appreciate you taking the time to answer my noob questions. I'm doing as much reasearch as possible, it's just slow going where i live there is only dialup and we only get 28k dialup so some pages can take 5 minutes a page to load, i should probably just use my phone more lol.

Regarding Number 1 again - My PC sees the connection it makes it lan connection 4 but for some reason i cant get the computer to use it. It just keeps failing to load any pages i try to go to. Wondering if maybe i have to do something to make the programs see it. I tried utorrent, firefox, IE and outlook and nothing would use the phone lan connection. So i'm assuming its some stupid little thing i just havent been able to think of yet.

3. Also on SDCard delete XMEdiaLibrary file - i think this might be the issue i remember seeing it on the phone.
*edit* so i tried deleting the file and there was really nothing in there other than the folders the songs are in when there copied. Gonna try removing them all and resyncing them **edit**

4. Sorry i wasn't using bluetooth here. I was just using the phone like normal no headset, then put speaker phone on and then took it off and then the echoing started. Like i said hung up called back no echoing, it coulda just been a fluke thing.

[NFSFAN]

Ok, for internet sharing, have you made any changes over what there was originally on the ROM in regards to ICS or activesync? Try installing the latest WMDC.

[Iorkca]

nope never changed anything in regards to ICS or activesync. and im not sure what WMDC is sorry.

[NFSFAN]

Windows Mobile Device Center.

[Iorkca]

WMDC says vista only, im on XP. As long as i don't have to have anything set in active sync i must be a computer issue. I'm sure i am doing everything right in regards to your ROM.

Start the internet on phone
open internet connection sharing hit connect
connect usb to computer

thats what im doing in that order, so gonna go play with it a bit more see if i can't get it going.

*****EDIT**** Man i feel like a doorknob i was missing 2 steps. 1 i wasn't opening a browser and going to a page to keep the connection open on the phone. And 2 i had to disable my LAN connection.
Now if i could only get it to work with my lan connection up cause thats how i share my connection around the house.

[BarleyMoon]

this may be a really stupid setting, but if you use ICS, does sprint charge you for ICS, or as if you are just browsing? Is this similar to pdanet?

[dangerousrun]

hey NFSFAN im using Bell beta 2 and i think the volume in call is not working so it is always staying at the same volume , i will try the beta 3 see if its doing the same .

[aranu]

downloaded the Telus Rom from the first page and it creates an error.. can anyone help me? i noticed on pg 13 all the new roms are up but i dont see the new telus rom there... where is the new telus rom???

[aross6]

I'm using the Alltel 1.01 Beta on two Vogues (my wife's and mine) and I'm loving the ROM. Only problem I'm having now is MMS's but I'm pretty sure I caught a workaround about that in this thread somewhere so I'm gonna look back through before I start asking a bagillion questions. Also, getting aGPS to work was WAY different than on an OEM Rom but I got it figured out... think I may even write a short Tut and post it in the thread if noone minds...

Mad thanks to NFSFAN for all his hard work and dedication to this project!!!

[ipassgas]

I'd like to try this on my Telus HTC Touch.
I'm currently running the most updated Telus ROM.
GPS doesn't work (I know there is a way to make it work but I haven't done it yet).
Is there a step by step set of instructions to
1. make the GPS work,
2. "unlock the phone" or whatever you have to do before you install this ROM.

Do I have to do #1 before #2 or #2 before #1 or will this ROM activate my GPS?
A "for dummies" tutorial would be soooo helpful for someone like me.
If anyone has a link for me, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

To get your GPS working you need to update your Vogue's radio (to at least 3.42.30)... search around and there are many guides on how to do this.

To unlock your phone to install custom Roms head on over to http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370 and download ImCoKeMaN's Vogue Unlocker (either 2.31 if your Vogue has GPS or 0.40 is your Vogue doesn't have GPS). Simply run the downloaded file and follow the instruction as they are presented to you on the screen. This will unlock your Vogue and you can then install any custom Rom you please, including NFSFAN's.

Cheers!

[ipassgas]

Thanks for the quick reply.
Should I set up the GPS before unlocking the phone and installing the rom, or should I install the ROM first and then set up the GPS (or does it matter)?

[aross6]

Thanks for the quick reply.
Should I set up the GPS before unlocking the phone and installing the rom, or should I install the ROM first and then set up the GPS (or does it matter)?

Well as far as I understand it, unless your carrier offers an OEM Rom with GPS enabled (as mine did w/ Alltel), you will need to unlock your Vogue, update the radio, and then update to a custom Rom. Like I said though, I did not personally have to do this so in this regard I would recommend some hardcore Googling before you do anything else...

aGPS Tutorial
---------------------------

After installing NFSFAN's Alltel Beta 1.01 on my Vogue, one of the first things I wanted to do was to get aGPS back working again. I used Shadow-Tech's guide to install aGPS on my stock Vogue rom, but when I attempted to follow the steps again using NFSFAN's Rom, I ran into some roadblocks (i.e. - ##3424, ##3424# would not put my phone into diagnostic mode and I could not find dmrouter.exe in the \Windows\ folder). I turned to my age old friend, Google, and came across a guide for the Telus. Between that guide and some quick thinking I was able to get around these impasses with ease. So, I'm noting my experience here so that anyone who wants to get aGPS working when using NFSFAN's Rom won't have to spaz out like I did.

Note that I am not taking credit for any of this. Props should be given to:
Shadow-Tech (and gc14) with the guide on PPCGeeks.com (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=402134)
TobeyChris with his guide on PPCGeeks.com (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=31437)
and of course NFSFAN for building some a Kick-A Custom Rom

I take no responsibility for what happens to your phone if you use this Tutorial: Your Phone = Your Fault. Once again, I'm just sharing my experience and all credit truly goes to Shadow-Tech, gc14, TobeyChris, and NFSFAN. Good luck all and Thanks!!!

[ipassgas]

Thanks so much for the above tutorial.

So do I understand correctly, that the correct order is....

1. "unlock" the phone with 2.31.coke
2. Install the new radio.
2. Install the custom ROM
3. and THEN.... follow the instructions above to activate the GPS?

Am I correct that I shouldn't activate the GPS and THEN install the custom ROM?
Do I have the order right?
Does someone have the link to upgrade the new telus radio?

[aross6]

Anybody have a way to skin the stock contacts page so it matches NFSFAN's rom more? I have my favorite contacts set up in the PeopleWidget tab, but when I click on a person I get the ugly OEM windows mobile look. Tried iContacts but it still doesn't resolve the issue since this the contacts in the PeopleWidget links to the default windows mobile version of the person's contact page...

Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

New bell beta 4 is up!!

[amkorp]

Hey,

Just updated to the Bell Beta 3 rom and I seem to be having a problem after I restore a backup of my text messages using PIM Backup. The phone completly freezes and after doing a soft reset it goes to a blank M2D screen with no tabs. It doesn't even say "Loading Touchflo". I've had it sitting for up to 10 minutes with no change. Same issue after multiple soft resets.

I had a similar issue with the Sprint 1.08 beta - text messaging kinda locked up, but I was able to close it. The phone ran VERY slowly until I soft reset. It did come back up, though.

I switched the SMS view from Threaded -> Classic this morning, went in and looked at text messages, switched it back to Threaded, and everything seems to be fine now. You may give that a try, though I'm not sure if the cause is the same. :)

That's because the browser tab defaults to Opera Mobile, which isn't included in the ROM. You need to install that yourself. I recommend:

Hey,
I tried several Manila 2D skins to install on this rom, but they wouldn't work
I really want to customize and use a different sking because I didn't like the black skin.
I tried, BigClock_TWolf, and HaVoC_Teal_Manilla2D, none worked.
Pls Help, thnx

[jmitr]

Are you running M2DC?

I have several skins loaded, they all work including my custom skin seen in my signature.

Make sure the skins are either .zip, or .m2dc files. Place them in your themes folder (program files / M2DC / themes). Open M2DC, goto the theme page, select the theme and choose "apply theme"

If they are cab files they are installed independantly like other cab files.

[sarumont]

The ring volume control is not working for me in Sprint 1.08 beta. I can increase the ring volume to any point (it starts out at 0%), but the setting does not actually stick. If I open the volume control immediately after it closes, the volume is back at 0%.

System volume is working properly - those changes are persisted.

Anyone else seeing this problem in the recent round of betas?

[xeongx]

I think M2DC is already installed sense its inside the System tab, but there is no themes folder in program files, there is not even m2dc folder.
Maybe its in another location

Right, here is a possible work around.

1.Make a folder (preferably on your SD card) called "M2D Themes", or whatever you would like. Place all your themes in there.

2.Open M2DC

3. Click on "ADD" under the Themes tab

4. Navigate to your new themes folder, and choose the theme you would like to add.

From what I understand all Vogues have a GPS radio built into them but the GPS function is only freed once you've updated to a particular version of a Rom...

You can unlock the Vogue with an unlocker made by ImCoKeMaN available here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370

If his phone has GPS enabled already use v2.31
If his phone does not have GPS enabled already, use v0.41


...and remember, Google is your friend...

[chewrawka]

so after i unlock it with 0.41 i can put this rom on it ? or should i do the radio first? and after i unlock it will i need to unlock it again with 2.31 unlocker?

i just dont wanna brick his phone. thank you

I'm on MetroPCS. I'm trying to figure out which of these roms is the most stable/enhanced because they are all different versions. I know the Sprint has extra applications like Sprint TV, which I don't need. The Alltel rom is only at version 1.01, so does this mean it isn't as advanced as the other roms?

[rexdale_tiger]

i updated to the latest one 1.27 for BELL
but i think it has some problems
1) when i get an incoming call sometimes it just goes straight to voice mail without even ringing or vibrating.

2) when theres a incoming call it declines the call by it self. before i even answer the phone.

3) when i m talking to someone on the phone it hangs up by it self.

other then that this ROM is the best one out there.... great work bro.

I don't have any of these problems. I wouldn't release it final if it had these problems. I've called around 10 times since I've posted this, and I've been called around 7 times. It never hanged up or Declined the call, neither did it go to my voicemail. Are you sure the caller on the other line didn't hang up early or anything like that.

NFSFAN: Thanks for the ROM. Sprint 1.08 rocks - snappiest ROM yet.

I'm still seeing the volume issue I mentioned earlier, but the ringer is actually working. So now the Ringer volume slider setting is just not correctly representing the volume setting. Anyone else see this (on Sprint or otherwise...)?

EDIT: Nevermind - My Incoming Call ring type got set to "None". Once I re-enabled it, the ringer volume is actually working. It would appear, though, that the "ActiveSync: End sync" item in the notification settings is pointing to the incoming call setting.

quick question

can i flash the new gps radio straight from micro sd? all i gotta do is change file name to voguimg.nbh right? keepin in mind im comin from straight stock vogue.:cool:

[jmitr]

Thanks for all your work NFSFAN,

By the way, love the new clock:D, I know you didn't use my skin (I read the credits), but hopefully seeing my signature inspired the change!!

P.S, for anyone who wants a very similiar transparent clock, only in black, blue, or red, check my posts under development and hacking/M2D skins

http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs40/f/2009/025/2/8/ppc_themes_by_jmitr.jpg

Thanks again for the great ROM, can't wait to see what Bell 1.28 brings!!

[jmitr]

I can add the themes from where ever, and it shows the preview, it crashed the touchflo a few times, and others, it just changed the clock's font, and thats it.
I really want to put a nice theme,
like this one (http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6599/twal8.jpg) the blue one,
Can you test it if it works?
Thats the link to download it, for me it just changes the clock and thats it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=120231&d=1223574358

Yup, that's one of the themes I have loaded. It works no problem. I prefer using my own pictures as a background, but if you can skin a bit, or use M2DC to just change the background picture that's easy as well.

Cheers,

Jason

hi all

Thing is that somehow my phone gets unlocked when i pouch so i have to use s2u or maybe if you have any other alternative thatr u can recommend.

well, almost there...

the provxml for MMS is good, however it doesnt seem to process during first boot. Running it manually through advanced config works fine though...

[phatsacks]

I used the "Search this thread", and I also searched the forums.

I kept coming up with solutions to turn ON the "vibrate on tap" option.

Your build (Sprint 1.08) has it on by default and I was looking to turn it off, as I would like to conserve as much battery as possible.

Thanks <3

[NFSFAN]

Turning it off makes no difference to how long the battery will last.

[bigough13]

Has anyone else experienced the keyboard (anything other than the full QWERTY) not working after 10-15 minutes? It started doing it with the keyboard that comes with the rom, I installed another one thinking it would solve the problem but it did not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to post that the new version is working fabulously, took my provXML and apps no problem and everything functions swimmingly.

Thank you NFSFan for a really clean complete release. Coupled with your Opera build, I'm very happy with my phone, and again have no reason to up to a diamond.

iGO8's voice synth seems to be more reliable with the higher pagepool too, so yet another thing I don't need to worry about.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

[Detroit_Doug]

+1 any word on it?


Well lets see,

OS working fine and quick took 2 separate installs with hard reboots as well as running the DCD Sprint carrier cab 2 times as well with reboots to finally bring up the internet

Music page pulls up my music from storage card fast, VERY fast and thats always something that dogs super slow first attempts for me regardless of ROM

GPS is super fast for catching a lock and location here in Las Vegas, one of the fastest Ive ran across thus far

Internet is snappy, but no faster than most of the latest ROMs I've been trying out with any real deal maker or breaker in speed

the included TF2D is buggy, screen changes missing in areas and not refreshing the graphics - not sure why if this is a ROM on 6.5 the new GUI wasnt included (at least I havent found it yet, then again I am not sure of the interface program name either so I am digging about)

ok, the phone recognizes an incoming call but does not answer NOR will it allow me to answer and the screen is hung there until the caller hangs up before releasing the screen back to me, real nasty bug there but working on it

Texting, ugly issue there - sent a test text message from my wifes HTC vogue to mine and it froze with the GUI, indicator shows it arrived and all but I have to reboot to access it, real nasty as well


Will get back with more details as I come across them, but as stated this is an ALPHA so my expectations were not all that high for it at this point

*** As an update to the above, another file was just passed out, awaiting explaination of what it is before continuing ***

Looks great NFSFan, but for some reason I still have the touchpal SMS issue. Oh well, I went back to your 1.09, the latest release that i had no touchpal issues. Still nice work. Guess ill wait for 1.12 to see how touchpal works out. I liked the touch response addition and clock.

Don't expect much, as the build is fake. The file sizes mentioned in the dsms do not agree with the actual file sizes. There may be parts of 6.5, but any parts present do not work. CMHome doesn't work. Outlook live doesn't work. Lockscreen doesn't work and neither do widgets.

[Detroit_Doug]

I was wondering if it were pre-alpha build or not .. who is the person posting it over there do you know?

I am/was working with it but if it is just shells and nameplacings then not much since in continuing LOL

My current progress on the WM6.5 21139 build:

*Fixed Office --Reverted back to old build
*Removed HTCVolume
*Fixed MediaPlayer -- Hexed the shortcut to properly load the wmusic.exe
*Fixed Customizations
*Optimized SYS
*Removed animations

In the works:

*Fix messaging
*Fix calling
*Fix ringtones freezing (may somehow be related to the device lock and CMHome freezing (cmhome.dll is the only important file which shares dependencies)) --> This I believe they share a similar dependency.

EDIT: After some extensive testing, I've come to the following conclusion: CMHome depends only on the following dlls that are in the 21139 build in order to start: ccore.dll & XmlLite.dll. All other 21014 dependencies agree with the 21139 ones. So I cabbed it up, along with the lockscreen and the rest of the files and registry pertaining to it, and installed. Guess what, it froze just like on 21139 build. The problem can be either that ccore.dll is not compatible with the phone somehow, or XmlLite.dll isn't. Or maybe they are broken

Just flashed to Sprint 1.08 last night and everything is running awesome. I like that new little thing that does a little vibrate pulse when you perform an action.

[bigough13]

The keyboard is still not functioning properly. I try to type with touch keypad and nothing will show, however when I start typing with full qwerty the characters that I entered with touch keypad are entered in. Anyone else, any advice, I am thinking about re-flashing? Other than that this rom is ridiculous, much more stable than any I have ever tried. Also, anyone with a fix for Activesync running by itself? Thanks again.

That's actually what I want to do, but because I can't connect to ActiveSync, I can't do the firmware update.

Sprint 1.08

Only problem is with Sprint Nav. I had to find the sprint-navigation-htc-mogulmr-2.0.15.cab elsewhere, so that might be the cause of my problem.

The full size QWERTY won't work in Sprint Nav. Select a text field, tap the keyboard, it opens and immediately drops back down. The small keyboard works just fine. I have the touchscreen feedback vibrate set to keyboard only, could that be the problem?

Am I using the right cab? Is there a Touch specific one someone pulled out of the official ROM?

Never mind, I didn't think I was a newb because I've moded it before but I found a thread that covered unlocking my device before installing this ROM giving iit a go now LOL

[ejlmd]

NFSFAN, is it possible to install the Microphone AGC fix as a registry edit, file or program to my Sprint HTC Vogure running the stock HTC 6.1 ROM, rather than flash your custom ROM?

Other than the complete loss of microphone sensitivity when switching to the earpiece using Skype 2.5 beta or the latest Fring, I'm pretty happy with the stock ROM.

Thanks for any assistance with this.

hi nfsfan - how have you been able to get the opal/jade dialer working in your ROM ?? Are there any Cab's out there for a CDMA vogue ? Even though I like the curtain, I can still without that if I can get the slide to answer for my CDMA phone, can you please point me to a link for that....

If I can just install the original opal/jade dialer and update any images for it to display properly, I would gladly try that. I was able to install mbarvian from ppcgeeks opal/jade dialer and but the in-call screen had background that was completely white and couldn't see any letters...

the least I can get out of this if not anything else, is a bigger picture when I receive a phone call or when in-call..

[NFSFAN]

What OS build are you using?

[myshinynewtouch]

What OS build are you using?

I have stock sprint 6.1 rom with build 19208.

[NFSFAN]

I have stock sprint 6.1 rom with build 19208.

That build originally doesn't support the proper functions in aygshell.dll. You can't use that Dialer with it. I suggest that you flash a new custom ROM. No shipped ROM for the Vogue will support that Dialer.

Yeah I unlocked with imcokes unlocker and loaded the Bell ROM but if I unplug the usb cable it reboots on me constantly

There are a lot of themes on xda you can choose from. If you want just the clock you will have to do a bit of xml editing, and take the clock images out from an existing theme.

[gt!]

So far 1.27 looks awesome - really like it. Thanks NFSFAN.

I have noticed one issue. If the battery drains to critical level and shuts down you cannot get it to come back on if the usb sync/charge cable is connected. When you start it up it shuts down again before it realizes that it is plugged in.

Through trial and error I've found the secret is to start the phone *without* the cable connected, and wait until it gets to around "launching TouchFlo" and then plug it in. At this point it detects that it has been plugged in and all is well.

I don't know if this is caused by the new sys or if it is to do with the battery tweaking that has been done. I hadn't observed this problem with older roms. Anyone else seen this problem?

2. is a known issue currently without a fix. It is caused by the dialer (which was designed for another phone), so unless a solution can be found we either have to live with it or go back to another dialer. Most people like this dialer and would rather put up with the stuck arrows.

The activesync being in taskmanager is not a problem. It is always on regardless. Other ROM cooks choose to hide it. If it is killed, push mail will not work properly.

I love the sprint latest update, The freezing problem i had with 1.7 disappeared, it is much more stable. Thank You!

2 things though,

1. I get the bell intro screen a blue background with a white bell logo on my sprint phone.
2. It uses a few percent more ram, 1.7 was using 30% 1.8 is using about 37% before opening any program.

and one suggestion, why not include a task manger that shows the running processes too? its not big in file size, and we all end up installing one.


otherwise I love it! one of the best I ever used.

[jakub_w]

hey NFSFAN, having a bit of a problem that I haven't had in previous versions...

using bell 1.27

1 - phone signal is cutting in and out by itself, not using the phone or using any apps. maybe this is due to the snow storm in toronto? not sure, just never had this problem before with your previous ROMs

2 - updating weather, sometimes i get everything blank (0 degrees), with no weather images loading. also never had this problem before with your previous ROMs, once again maybe something to do with the signal around toronto today?

thanks NFS, love all the updates

There is no way that you could have got 30% memory with 1.7. It has always been between 36-39%. The bell intro screen is because you flashed a shipped bell ROM, which you shouldn't.

[blazingwolf]

Sry i meant 1.11 but I have the first release but the beta release 2 on page 13 says it can not be found

That's because Verizon 1.11 has been released and is no longer in beta. Check the first post.

I'm on Verizon and flashed with bell ROM to get my radio upgrade. When I flashed other custom firmware, i got verizon intro screen, but not this one. I like everything but not bell's blue screen...:(

why is it? i didn't touch any settings...

Hi, since installing bell 1.27 my phone. I longer automatically connects to my car...all settings seem to be right and as soon as the key was turned on the car would connect ( using fords "sync" system") any ideas... I eventually connect after putzing around in settings but don't know exactly what I'm doing...

After this I found the links to the AGPS Fix, so I proceeded with the steps to install the drivers, use QPST to update GPSone, and then installed the CAB according to the directions in the post. When I run GPS viewer, it locates GPS on COM 4, but it never connects to any satellites. When I try Google maps, it attempts to locate satellites and also never connects. Any one have any ideas as to what I might be missing. I did very my location settings aren't set to 911, and so forth.

Thanks in advance. I have been looking through posts since yesterday and I think the little lady is getting pissed that I am spending some much time on this :)


same here, mine is 3.42.50 bell rom then flashed with latest NFSFAN verizon custom rom. everythings okay, but agps doesn't seem to work...
when i had 3.37 radio with http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html long time ago, then used qpst method to get my agps working...it worked as a charm...awww....any ideas???

edit: i heared that if i had mr1 firmware, then upgraded to custom firmware again, it has the problem. i have to downgraded[?] to stock rom, but i don't know how to and i'm not that brave..:(
can someone help me??

[corypaul]

you wasn't suppose to let the customizations run that locks down gps

[zero_sum]

NFSFAN,
Thanks.
I like it and appreciate for your efforts.
It's really stable and fast.

Sorry for being such a newb... but, what's the procedure for replacing the stock Sprint rom with this one? To make sure I have the most updated radio, gps, etc.?

FYI - on soft reset I notice my radio (r: 3.42.30).

[drprince89]

Awesome ROM, im loving it, its very stable and has every single feature i need.

[pknyo]

First off I just wanted to say that I think this is one of the best rom out for the Vouge right now, coming from WDM`s 1.6 rom thats saying alot. There are many things I love about this that WDM`s rom didn`t have, its alot cleaner, love the opal dialer, and the large menus. One thing I noticed off the bat is lack of finger friendly scrolling that I had on WDMs. I installed Ftouchflo and indoing so disabled touchresponse, I was wondering if there are some reg settings I can mess with to get it back.

[pknyo]

One other thing a little off topic, but here goes...
Where can I find the OEM bell rom to upgrade my radio I`ve Googled, tried bell site, and HTC`s.

there is nothin hard u have to do jus do this:

1)after you download it just extract the file in a new folder

2) Then goto that folder and u will "ROMUpdateUtility" double click on that.

3) just follow the instructions that appears on your computer screen after.

Forgot a step there...

Step 1B) Unlock the phone using IMCOKEMAN's unlocker - this needs to be done as without unlocking the phone you will get to the rainbow screen and then an error code - search for it and you will find it, just dont use a locker or .41/.40 (cant remember the version right off the top of my head at the moment)

My radio version is a little dif than what is listed in the first post - is this just a difference with Sprint?

Thanks for the steps guys!

Thanks for the steps guys!

3.42.30 is just one level of radio versions that exist, Im with sprint and currently running 3.42.50 by flashing a bell radio flash/rom then doing a hard reset before anything runs and then flashing to the correct ROM I wanted to run on it (currently NSFfans ROM)

not a huge difference in the 3.42.30 to 3.42.50 other than some report faster GPS locks and better tower/reception usage and the like

But as long as the required level of at 3.42.30 or higher your OK, no need to up that level until you are more experienced at flashing ROMs and more importantly getting out of stuck or psuedo-bricked states LOL

Last Q -
to back up my contacts without synching to Outlook.?

[cruzernator]

Hi;

I have a question regarding using my mobile device as a GPRS modem for a browsing online an XP notebook. I currently use a Bell Mobility VOGUE100 Touch device with the NFSFAN V1.27 ROM. My question is; would my phone provider charge me extra if I use the Internet Sharing tool with NFSFAN's ROM installed? I also tried a trial version of PdaNet which worked OK and did later found out that Bell did not charge me extra. I find that the D & U packets are super slow @ 2.4Mbp/s connected.

An MS link states some providers might charge the users if Internet Sharing is used.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Last Q -

Doubtfully the last Q LOL I still keep asking LOL
As for backing up contacts and the like without synching to outlook, try PIMBackup

Works great, just make sure to backup to your storage card so you dont accidentally wipe out your backup

From what I understand the internet sharing tool works like PDAnet. You won't get charged from bell for tethering unless bell figures out a way to audit for that specifically.

[sushi416]

Hey

Earlier I flashed NFSFAN's ROM onto my Touch. Works Great. Unfortunately, whenever I use PIM Backup to restore text messages, it closes up TouchFLO and then when I try to relaunch it, all I get is "Launching TouchFLO" and then it reverts right back to "Tap here to launch TouchFLO"

Anyone know how to fix this?

[lbrichardi]

Thank you NFSFAN for this rom. :D

Would anyone have access to the previous Live search app? There are several issues with this latest one, ie. not finding addresses that it did before, doesn't update map when using GPS, etc. Can we just cab reinstall an old one over this new one? :confused:

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

I was about to look for that myself. I am not impressed with the new release. I have all my cabs backed up a couple different places, so I am sure there is an old Live Search cab sitting around in there. I'll post if I find it.

Thanks natefish.

I just updated to the 1.9 hoping it would have a fix. Still no go :(

Just wanted to still extend my thanks again to NFSFAN for keeping us updated :)

Cheers

[lbrichardi]

Oh ... btw, is there a way to change the two bottom choices of the screen (Phone/Camera)? It used to have Programs at the right side before so I just press it and takes me to the very end of the scrolling, a quicker way instead of scrolling sideways. :o
Thanks again.

Hey Eric2k,

Thanks for the release, now for the inevitable questions!!

I've tested every QVGA Opera version released on XDA. I'm using NFSFAN's tweaked 15336 build. The speed is important to me, and this his is the fastest build i've ever tested. It plays well with bookmarks off the M2D internet tab etc. I'm not worried about amount of tabs etc as opera:config can sort out many options.

Edit: did a search and came up with this thread, It doesn'tanswer all my questions (haven't found a change log yet) but it helps:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477179



I also prefer the bottom zoom, really can't stand the side slider and preview pane (though that can be edited out).

What's new in the version you found? What previous build is it similiar to?

Thanks,

Jason

[lbrichardi]

Thanks, NFSFAN.

Haven't figured how to change using the Customizer. :o No worries, the effort will teach me how to use it. As well, learning what footprints and IOLITE goodies are while reading thru these.

I'm on a roll with inquiries, did the RSS Hub get deleted? I better change my info and add I have the HTC Touch Vogue

Again thanks.

Thanks a bunch.Bro you are the s##t.:D

[clearcase]

as the title says, sold one of my touches with nfsfan 2.7 bell rom on it. bell customer service is trying to get into the phone to set it up with ##304582 however they can't get past the unlock code. the default they are saying is like 111111 (a bunch of ones, not sure how many) does anyone know what this rom changes that to? please help!

[HTCguy71]

Hi NFSFAN... incase you wish to use it, i've attached a new Bell Splash screen with the new Logo and colors i quickly made up. Feel free to use it if you like.
Thanks for the great roms!

it's a .PNG file which i had to zip.

I use this one. You have to flash this, since it is the 2nd bootsplash, right after the HTC one that shows radio, rom version. It is a neat bell logo blue on black background. Only for BELL USERS!!!!!

[lentm]

I finished setting everything up finally!!! this is awesome rom i've ever had...
can't wait for new version!!

[NFSFAN]

NEW updates!!! BETAs 2 are now out. Bell, Sprint & Verizon. Alltel coming soon.

[PhoenixTJ]

Just flashed BETA 2, everything's running smooth!

[phatsacks]

NOTE: Because of the footprints addition in the new M2D, this will increase ram usage by ~10%.

This should only be when using the program, correct? If constant increase, is there a way to remove it? I am not overly interested in the program/feature, but love your 1.08 Sprint Rom, hoping to use your 1.09
