|EXCA|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM Smartphone (21812) ★ || Build date 2009/7/7 ||

[NRGZ28]

Welcome to my kitchen!

Here's what's on the menu today... http://energy.wub.nu/Screens/MenuTools.png

This is an HTC Excalibur ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of this thread. This will also work on the TMobile Dash (which is what's it's primarily setup for) and any other Excalibur variations.

I always build my ROMs with three main goals.


Eye candy.
Speed!
Smoothness, consistency and good esthetics.


I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications are already set, as well as a background and key shortcuts.

I usually make 2 versions of the ROM. If you don't see one in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release yet.

Here are the different versions and what they mean.



"IE6" includes the new IE6 browser
"IE5" includes the older IE5 browser (less RAM being used).

Hello,
I've started to test this ROM. and the beginning is very good.

Could someone help me to install messenger?

I have a cab but it contains only windows Live, without messenger.

Thanks a lot!!!!

[idinaxui]

the comm manager looks like this :( and the scrolling of phone, bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi is going in the upper one line

[pudgedaddy]

looks like you're using ookbas 96dpi cab... if you are then uninstall it

[alfrjw]

1. There is no interface to configure MMSC setting (had to do it via registry)
2. there is no default app for jpg viewing

Apart from this, seems very stable and fast.

[jhwo99]

Nice rom.

Did you take out the VPN ?

If yes: do you have the Connection Setup Tool cab ? Then the original HTC cab is too old..

[idinaxui]

the jpg association can be fixed this way:

open resco explorer, find any .jpg file, choose "action\open with", click "always use this program to open this file type" checkbox, and then choose menu/browse. from list select pimg.exe (this is picture viewer). choose select (left soft key) and done, now the jpg file is opened as usual.

[Tritan88]

Once again you cooked up a very nice rom. Thanks for the tip on how to fix the .jpg association issue. I just found it when trying different things out and someone already posted the fix for it. :)

Anyway it does seem that the connection setup does use older data then what I had before. It has not caused a problem yet but just thought I would mention it.

[alfrjw]

Just found out, the long pressing of home key opens "All notes", and there is no way to record a voice dial for my contacts...

I understand there are people with no use for voice dial, but is there a cab out there to fix this?

Another workaround for the .JPG issue is install XNVIEW app.. it´s free and it´s not a big fat pig (when you think about resources)... Grab it here (http://www.xnviewpocket.org/).

Nice job, Nrg. Thank you.

I´m updating my guide for Brazilian people now...

Its called... Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 for smartphones. If and when you get it installed, In the voice command setup. for the voice button use App3.

[fragmin]

what am I doing wrong? I try to load this program and it gets to 3% then tells me the file is corrupt and then the phone reboots. re-downloaded the file several times with same result

[two_wheels]

How is everyone doing with wifi in this release? In the other thread some folks mentioned that wifi wasn't working well. I haven't had a chance to install this version yet but wifi is a deal breaker for me if it does not work. Thanks.

It is working for me at work today..I don't know why it glitched out on me yesterday at home, but it completely froze my phone up and had to pull the battery. So far so good...

[alfrjw]

Microsoft Voice Command works well only for English Speakers, as it does not require voice tags for contacts.

As nearly all my contacts have foreign names, it seems i need a different app.
Tried installing Cyberon speed voice dial 1.2, but there seems to be no way to add voice tags to contacts, so it always says there are no recorded tags.

[jeonatl3]

Had no problems with the WiFi on this ROM... my home WPA network works fine.

nrg, any chance of getting the IE5 version uploaded? Thanks :)

[thenikeman]

I have set my pictures to open with HTC Album, which works ok, but it seems to be causing some other issues with MMS messages. I try to attach a picture and it does not want to insert it correctly into the MMS message. It just shows the preview icon and not the picture itself.

If you are using only voice tags, you have to go into your contacts . select the contact and using the right soft key, select, add voice tag

[alienski]

I would like to report that after the phone being on for an extended period of time, overnight, the WiFi connects fine without crashing. I was the one that had issues with it crashing in the previous incarnation of this thread.

[alfrjw]

Used to do as you said on previous ROMS, but this one does not offer this choice, even after installing cyberon voice dial 1.2.

Found a v 1.7.16, apeears to work (yet to be tested via BT)

[thenikeman]

I had noted in the EVO thread, that I had been receiving 100% of my MMS messages on the EVO rom. With all other ROMs, I will receive MMS messages for a few hours, then I will not get anymore until I reboot. Given that these are both 6.5 rom's, what would be the difference in why I am not receiving MMS messages with NRG's rom after a few hours? I didn't do ANY configuring with the EVO rom, so just wondering if the initial network configuration that takes place has anything to do w/ it..?

[dbldown768]

i just installed this rom. Shortly after i recieved a text message in which i read, however there is still a little evenlope showing up on the home screen.

[kannanpiyer]

The ROM looks very nice, thank you. IE6 does not seem to work well, probably because of inadequate memory. The hyperlinks on the pages do not get highlighted and hence cannot be navigated to.

I also noticed that the "Connection Setup" feature is not available.

Looks like the "Tweaks" Folder has the programs that used to be in the "My Tools" and "Accessories" folder on the 6.1 ROM?

[jeonatl3]

The JOGGER bar continues to respond when the phone is locked? I'm sure previous ROMs don't do this - is it intended behavior? I have it set to change both system and in-call volume.

Cheers :-)

It doesn't respond here, when it's locked... I don't know what you're smoking (but pass it on...lol) :D

[uansari1]

Posted these questions in the last thread... Can anyone tell me if copying over the bronzeres.dll I'm currently using with 6.1 (which includes colored icons upper-left corner of the sliding panels) is possible to maintain the colored icons? Second, can I copy over my 6.1 CPR, or is it incompatible with 6.5? (I'd like to avoid having to edit the layout again) Also, does MiniWeather work on this ROM?

Thanks!

Looks pretty f-ing good NRG... Hope Ookba adapts his 96dpi cab to this ROM. :)

Hehe :D it must have been a glitch because it has fixed itself now!

[lebero]

how to install messenger with this ROM?

thanks!

Hey ,intall this in divece memory, it worked for me

[SRgustavo]

i don't like bold font in homecreen, i changed the font but it's still bold, is there a registry tweak to change that??

[NRGZ28]

Try this "Titanium Panels" layout pudgedaddy has been working on... :)

[alienski]

I found that the Wifi panel connects to the older comm manager while the start menu link goes to the newer comm manager.

[lebero]

it works!
thanks a lot for your cab! :-)

[SRgustavo]

Are you able to edit the Favorites panel from IE to Opera Mini?

[uansari1]

If you install the Opera Mini package, it will appear in the favorites menu along with the apps you see above.

[alfrjw]

After some testing, I had no success.

Cyberon voice speed dialer 1.2 creates a "voice speed dial" in the start menu which, if launched, beeps as expected and reports no voice tags found, but does not enable adding voice tags to contacts - and the home button does not start it.

The 1.7.16 version enables adding voice tags, but has no use for them if using the home button or bt.

[jrronimo]

So far this ROM is excellent! Incredibly snappy and more RAM that I'm used to having free. :D

Does anyone know where to turn off the "Recent Programs" function of the Start Menu? I found it in the last ROM that I used but can't find it this time.

It's annoying to me because it changes all the time. I want my start menu to be as close to the last time every time so that I can develop muscle memory for applications. :)

[Bigmannyjr]

If you install the Opera Mini package, it will appear in the favorites menu along with the apps you see above.

Not menu, panel. part 1 says IE, part 2 says add/change. When you click on change it opens up IE. I don't use IE. It's not even set as my default browser. My question to the cook is still open. Thank you for understanding.

[dbldown768]

i'm having issues finding any available blue tooth devices... is anyone else having this problem.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, user error....

[DonutYankee]

I just have one problem so far. I can't even compose MMS messages. It can't load images into an MMS message, giving me an error saying it can't load the image. It's rather odd. And when it does "load" an image, I just see a placeholder in its place and then can't send the message.

I think I gotcha now... Sounds like you just need to use Chome Configurator.

[bearshare]

Wow, this is COOL. I just upgraded my Dash. No problem so far. It's fast, stable and good-looking. I don't think there are so much work for the cook as his ROM is so close to perfection. It's really waste my time to upgrade my phone BUT I LOVE THIS. :-). Congratulation NRG, your work is awesome.

[jhwo99]

Nice rom.

Did you take out the VPN ?

If yes: do you have the Connection Setup Tool cab ? Then the original HTC cab is too old..

Did you take the VPN connection out ?

[10507]

Try this "Titanium Panels" layout pudgedaddy has been working on... :)

I am not sure whether pudgedaddy intends to have the Titanium Panels set up that way or not, but I am getting something very weird. The clock panel is displayed in the middle of the phone instead of at further up. Please see screenshot

[jeonatl3]

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but where have the options gone to set MMS settings, like the MMSC URL etc.?

Thanks :-)

[Pocker09]

When i look for a the file on the server i don't see anything in 6.5?
Am i missing something?

Waiting for version with IE5, IE6 seems...not right. So ssssssssssllllllllowwwwwww....

[LeoArg]

Wow!

Thank you!
Excelent ROM!!

[Tritan88]

I found that the Wifi panel connects to the older comm manager while the start menu link goes to the newer comm manager.

I ran into this last night also. I am hoping there is a easy fix for this, I like the new comm manager better.

[dwgerk]

One option that you could do is change the url for this....
Go into CHome Config > Setting > Wireless Page and change the Action URL: \Windows\Start Menu\Comm Manager.lnk

[alienski]

"\Windows\CommManager.exe" also works

[jrronimo]

Display settings page...

DOH right in front of my face, haha. Thanks NRG.

ROM is still pretty awesome. IE6 is unusable, though. it's just so sluggish. If an IE5 version pops up, I'll be tossing that on instead. But I, like others, usually use Opera anyway. :)

Fantastic work, NRG.


Edit:// Does anyone have a .cab for that fake version of MyFavs? The one that is just a shortcut for calling people from your sliding menu? (Alternatively, if anyone has a .cab that works in a similar fashion...)

[Tritan88]

This worked like a champ, I did not even think of this. Thanks for tip.

[Mr. Clown]

I had previous flashes with different roms Kavana's, rose, energy (6.1 release) and everything went well with no problems at all. But a few days ago, I was so excited to test this new release and when I flashed the phone I came up with the frozen screen (“Starting Energy Rom”).

I’ve tried everything to resurrect my phone following the different steps posted in threads like: reflashing with the original roms, hard reset, changing to another PC running XP, bootloader etc but neither one of them works. My phone came with WM5 and definitely none of the roms posted work for my phone. I even contacted HTC and they told me that the hard reset must work, but it doesn’t. The phone stills with the frozen screen.

Is there another way to go? Or definitely I have to think in getting other phone?:(

[jrronimo]

I noticed a super-long delay at the "Starting EnergyROM" screen the first time it loaded after the flash... all the advice I have is to try to wait it out and see what happens.

[Mr. Clown]

I left the phone all night long, I've noticed when I did the hard reset that after 20 minutes the phone rebooted and I thought...well problem solved...but it got stock again in "Starting EnergyROM" screen.

[sgalbincea]

I noticed a super-long delay at the "Starting EnergyROM" screen the first time it loaded after the flash... all the advice I have is to try to wait it out and see what happens.

It took awhile for me too, but after the first boot and cold config it worked really fast.

[Mr. Clown]

It took awhile for me too, but after the first boot and cold config it worked really fast.

How much time? I left the phone on like 8 hours a couple of days ago and nothing happened.

[sgalbincea]

8 hours is way too long. I was talking like 10 minutes or less. Not sure what to tell you at this point except hard reset and load whatever ROM your provider has then try this again. I can confirm that this ROM works and actually works really well.

[NRGZ28]

If you guys downloaded the very first ROM I posted.. yeah it will not boot. Redownload and reflash and all will be good.

[Mr. Clown]

Hi NGRZ28, yes I downloaded your very first ROM....and tried to go back and flash it to the original rom (but none of them worked since my original rom was WM5) so I can upgrade it again to your fixed ROM recently posted. What I'm facing here my friend is with the frozen screen that the only thing that I can do is to bootload to the 3 color screen. So, my question here if I download again and try to reflash, I won't get the "image corrupt file message" since the unlocker doesn't recognize my device connected to the PC in autobat run? Thanks in advance for your help in this one.

[Scrappydog]

Hi, first post. First smartphone too (yesterday). wm5, wm6, wm6.1, wm6.5... I really like wm6.5 so far. That image corrupt thing? For me it was cuz I wasn't clicking on continue at the "jump" screen (on the phone). Phone was dark and I didn't see it. Anyway, subsequent loads have gone smoothly. I don't even feel the need to "unlock" every time cuz it just works.

thanks everybody!

[Scrappydog]

If someone can help NOOB find or install opera (this ROM, need the long instructions) I would sure appreciate it. IE sux.

[jrronimo]

If someone can help NOOB find or install opera (this ROM, need the long instructions) I would sure appreciate it. IE sux.

Easiest way I found is this, since the "install Opera" button in the "Tweaks" folder doesn't work.

1. Go to this link (http://www.opera.com/mini/download/generic/generic_advanced_midp_2/) on your PC and download the .jar file. (actually, you could probably go to it on the Dash, too, but it'd be a long type-in)

2. Copy the .jar to anywhere on your Dash. Personally, I have a folder on my SD card called "Install Files", where I keep installers.

3. Open up Java from the Phone's Start Menu.

4. Click 'Menu', select 'Install', then 'Local Files'.

5. Wait. The phone will search for .jar's on your device.

6. Select the one like "opera-mini-4.2blahblahblah" and press 'Go'.

After that and a few questions the phone will ask you, you will be done.

Note: In Opera, under Menu -> Tools -> Settings, un-check "Auto-complete address input", as there are some letters that don't get keymapped properly in Opera/Java. This will make the browser usable.

Only one I can answer for you, Mini weather isn't working on 6.5. Leaves some crazy home screen issues that are just a bit different from how it turned out on energy 6.1. With any luck, NRG will find time to work on updating it for this ROM but the dude has more than enough coals in the fire as it is....I'm just glad he found the time to put this together :p

Even better as you really want the signed version "no asking do u want to connect"

On phone go to www.mini.opera.com
You will see the link don't click the link, click if this version fails to install "somethin like that" XD
Then choose the top download "multi-signed"
Follow the promps making sure to tick always allowed to connect on install.

[walliester]

damm thanks bro a lot for taking your time to do this,oh by the way my chick liked it too.. lol

[NRGZ28]

So.... what else does this ROM need guys ? I'll be uploading an IE5 version soon. It looks like I gotta fix the "Install Opera" script. The comm manager link in the bottom Settings panel. What else ? (maybe one of these lazy weekend I'll update miniweather to work with 6.5 hehe)

[cswroe]

Is the Light Config in Celetask a lost cause? I have not seen a recent ROM where that works.

Great ROM! Kudos!

Um, I think everything you mention in this post will make it PERFECT bro... then when Ookba does his thing with the 96dpi app...well I don't think I'll be flashing again after that. :)

ok, if you ask :D:
mini weather will be great!!!!
and i would like something like titanium panels, and off course an app to edit them, like we do with 6.1.
m2d
gps
5 mp camera
i think that's ok :D
man you did a great job with this rom, it's really fast and stable
Thanx for your time ;)

[zeroonea]

so between rose rom and energy rom which faster?

[sphinx780]

so between rose rom and energy rom which faster?

Without a doubt, energy is much snappier

[sphinx780]

@NRG-

If you got Miniweather on this, I wouldn't see anything else that could make this ROM any better. At least for my uses, that would knock this sucker out of the park. You're second round on this one fixed everything most of us need.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for a lazy sunday for you down the road...

[Wickeds]

Any one Experianced, or had pple saying that voice sound verry VERRY far ?
Always seemed to had strong voice on phone B4 i did started to Flash ....

[DonutYankee]

First off, as I sais before, this ROM is awesome.
I still just have this very serious MMS issue where it won't load images. If I open a picture and select to send it, I get a message about WM failing to open the file. If I create a new MMS in the Messaging app and insert a picture, it only shows a placeholder (and not the pic) and then never sends the MMS. I actually use MMS quite often and find this importan. Other than that, this ROM is great.

As for additions, that battery meter in the "Settings" panel would be a great addition (or a .cab posted for it), :). And also, I might just be missing something, but I can't seem to find the theme with the flat black 6.5 bottom bar (instead of the shiny texture one).

[uansari1]

NRG... if you do get a lazy Sunday to work on MW... do you think you could release a version without the monitors as well? If not, it's cool... I can go through and edit the code if necessary. It would just be a convenience thing.

Has anyone tried Sprite Backup 6.5 on WM6.5 yet? Just want to make sure that works before I flash.

[zeroonea]

so between er 6.1 and er 6.5, which faster :p

nevermind, i just up to 6.5 and the first bug i found is, my keyboard light gone ??

[phuKKah]

So, uh, Titanium puhlease
xD

[AlexXF]

WMP does not works in that ROM.

[NRGZ28]

WMP does not works in that ROM.

WMP works fine in this ROM... (if that's what you mean).

[zeroonea]

@NRGZ28: are your keyboard led work?

[jeonatl3]

I don't know about nrg's but mine works fine.

Still wondering how to enter MMS settings? Does anyone out there know? Like the MMSC URL and what not. I tried sending a message and it failed so assume it was not pre-set on the SIM card like the SMS settings were. Tia :)

[zeroonea]

how i made a program group like recent programs and put into it all lnk to program i using most?

[NRGZ28]

Long overdue IE5 version is uploading now here > http://energy.wub.nu/ROMs/Excalibur/EnergyROM%20EXCALIBUR%2020090620%20IE5.rar

About 9 minutes from the time of this post...

[joeskull]

Could you include the Portuguese XT9 Dictionary available here (http://www.4shared.com/file/66814213/298236d7/Portuguese_XT9_for_Niki.html)?

How about the portuguese-brazilian keyboard layout file attached?

Thanks

[DonutYankee]

The widgets (weather, money, search) no longer work in the IE5 version of the ROM. And it still can't load an image into an MMS. :(

[jeonatl3]

Widgets rely on IE6, sorry :(

[DonutYankee]

Well, I wasn't really using the widgets anyways, so that's not a biggie for me. I thought the IE thing had something to do with that. However, the MMS issue still remains. Does anybody else have this issue? It cannot load images into a new MMS message. These are regular pictures taken on the phone's camera.

[zeroonea]

how i remove delay when turn wm into ready status after idle timeout
i mean when i pressed any key to turn phone ready, it show background first, a little after that, the home screen shown.

[skaroger867]

doanloading new rom, cant wait to try it out

[drnayeem]

an excellent rom ,
but is there any tweak to change the bold font of sliding panel ?

[awilaman]

The basic idea is to replace all occurences of "Bold" to "Normal" in the *.cpr file corresponding to the Sliding Panel homescreen. So there will be numerous alternative ways of doing this other than the instructions below. I have chosen the following procedure to make it accessible to even a non-technical Excalibur user.

(1) Change your current HomeScreen to a non-sliding panel home screen e.g. Windows Default
(2) Make a copy of the /Windows/SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr onto your computer
(3) Rename the original /Windows/SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr e.g. rename to /Windows/SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr_original
(4) Open the copied version of the *.cpr file in a text editor.
(5) Perform a "find and replace" operation to convert all occurences of "Bold" to "Normal". In WordPad this would be the menu options "Edit"->"Replace..." or Ctrl-H shortcut.
(6) Save the file.
(7) Copy the file back to Windows/SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr
(8) Change your current HomeScreen to SlidingPanel


You may be able to give your Excalibur a different look by changing the panel order and making CClock the middle panel (CHome Config). Try this out and see if you like it.

[drifterrolly]

hey, sometimes my phone will turn off by itself when im on wifi and using opera. and when i turn it back on the battery is almost empty, but when i reboot it again the battery reads normally.

[two_wheels]

Just wanted to say nice work, the newest ROM with IE5 is awesome, perfect. Well done.

[hewhoisnotasothers]

First off, as I sais before, this ROM is awesome.
I still just have this very serious MMS issue where it won't load images. If I open a picture and select to send it, I get a message about WM failing to open the file. If I create a new MMS in the Messaging app and insert a picture, it only shows a placeholder (and not the pic) and then never sends the MMS. I actually use MMS quite often and find this importan. Other than that, this ROM is great.

As for additions, that battery meter in the "Settings" panel would be a great addition (or a .cab posted for it), :). And also, I might just be missing something, but I can't seem to find the theme with the flat black 6.5 bottom bar (instead of the shiny texture one).

same mms issue here....is there a regedit to fix....or something....this rom is awesome but my mms needs to work.

[NRGZ28]

MMS option will be fixed int he next release. Probably tonite.

In other news... miniweather for this ROM (and oookba's) anyone ?? :P

[SRgustavo]

MMS option will be fixed int he next release. Probably tonite.

I don't use MMS so I have nothing to say:) But for the miniweather then it would be awesome.

Again thank NRG for this awesome ROM

[pudgedaddy]

NRG you gotta change the bluetooth stack drivers man. After a few days of messing with it. The bluetooth stays connected to whatever after its connected, But the act of getting it to connect and disconnect is a problem. I have 3 devices. A Jabra BT620s headphones, A plantronics voyager 510S , and my ford focus car with microsoft's sync system in it. In all occasions, After the initial pairing, when i try to fire up the device to communicate with the phone i have to go into the bluetooth settings on my phone and exactly 3 times select the option to set as hands free until my 2 devices wiull communicate. My headsets and Car will not comunicate with the phone on ther own. I must make the phone interact first and it will not interact on its own. Secondly. If the device is connected to a device via bluetooth and you need to reboot your phone, You have to either make sure you disable bluetooth on your phone, or turn off the device your phone is connected to, Before the phone reboots, otherwise it will screw up the bluetooth function on the phone and even make other tasks difficult like opening applications or even just rebooting.

Maybe you can try the brightpoint bluetooth drivers we discussed about a few days ago.

[dbldown768]

I am not sure if this is related, however after installing this rom, I have been in locations where my phone will not receive reception, however, my wifes phone (in the same place) is running the older 6.1 rom and does receive reception????

[joeskull]

Hey, NRG... very, very, very nice job.

This post is not meant to compare your job to the others, It´s just to compare your rom (that I´m using now) to the one I was using before, which was Kavana remade by Rickywatt. I know you are different people and the rom is different too (of course).

After using this rom for 6 days, I must say it´s the best so far for Excalibur.
However… nothing is perfect and I think I found some bugs and some strange behaviors. Also, I´m confused about some things, and I have a wish list…. I’ll number them… Let me get started by the goods…

Pros:
* Fast! (I mean.. considering how old our devices are. And it´s being kept current with WM6.5 – It´s wonderful)
* Stable!
* Connection setup works flawless (Start-Settings-Connections-GPRS-Autoconfig). As I said, I was using Kavana remade by Rickywatt and it never worked for me.
* It´s very pleasant to the eyes.
* Battery life is excellent, same as stock rom, or Rickywatt (I´m using the original standard battery).
* Your top bar is very beautiful… it´s very different from what exists so far.
* No problems with Activesync at all.
* Available free memory is a little bigger.
* Oxios Close Apps is not needed anymore!
* Wi-Fi works like a charm.

Cons:
* Opera mini font is too tiny… tried _Tahoma font, but it changed everything but the Opera. (this font had applied to the whole system, except Opera)
* There is a little delay (1 sec or less) when the phone is in standby mode and you press the center button until it shows the screen. It´s a little annoying… It has been noticed before by other guys here.
* Unable to play .MP4 files. (It was fixed by installing CorePlayer – as mentioned in the first post)
* Still no copy/paste… Vito copy paste does the job… again!
* No Notepad App, so I can´t read .PWI files anymore.

Confused:
* When I go to Start-Settings-XT9 settings, nothing happens… Why?
* Other than browsing the web, and some games (Kevtris) that updates it´s score through internet, when does a connection is required? I mean... now that I found out I have Internet without Wi-Fi, I’m concerned about how much it would cost to me. So I want to know which apps (from your rom, of course) require internet access.
* Is there a way to turn off Internet through mobile operator? I mean... if I want to use only Wi-Fi?
* As noticed in post #35 in page 4, if I press the ON/OFF button and choose Comm Manager, it’s different from going to the main screen and selecting wireless manager. Fortunately, I´m glad to know you´ll fix it in your next release! In the meantime, it can be fixed by goint into CHome Config > Setting > Wireless Page and change the Action URL to \Windows\CommManager.exe (Solution found in page 6 post #57 and #58).
* Can I change the clock on top to 24hour format?
* Jogger. How do I disable it, It’s annoying to have Jogger enabled because it controls in call volume, and it lowers the volume just by touching the jogger. And who doesn’t touch the jogger during a call? In jogger options, I have “system and in call volume”, “in call volume only” and there should have “system only”. Do you agree? Can it be fixed?
* Audio Manager. How can I control volume in audio manager? In previous versions, it was controlled by pressing the up/down button.
* Opera mini. When typing an address, the keyboard behaves as a standard keyboard phone, I mean you press 1 three times to get the “C” character... Press 2 two times to get “B” character… Weird.

Wish list:
* Foxit reader instead of Adobe Reader.
* Oxios Alarms.
* Excel X and Word X creating shortcuts.
* Notepad (So I can read .PWI files again).
* Portuguese Dictionary (XT9) – I found one by myself here - http://wmn79.4shared.com/ then go to XT9 Cab files folder (“Portuguese XT9 for Niki” worked for me)
* Portuguese-Brazilian keyboard layout (I´ve uploaded this file before in this thread)

So, as you can see, your rom is close to perfection. I´m loving it! Thank you for your hard work.

Regards.

[jeonatl3]

Re: the opera mini problem you have put in "Confused", that can be fixed by switching off "Autocomplete web addresses" in the settings. However it won't autocomplete web addresses obviously!

hth

[NRGZ28]

Awww well that's nice knowing you're using my ROM to hold you over until oookba releases his new one... :) :rolleyes: /sarcasm off

IT's not so great. My wifi still doesn't work and battery drain quickly as other ROMs T_T

If it's not great.. don't use it... :)

Alrighty, as a test I will switch out the BT stack in the next release. As in.. today :)

- Dont know about Opera Mini... but if you find a solution, let me know :)
- The delay is a "feature" in the new Chome engine in 6.5. They were talking about doing in 6.1 (they did it with the clock panel only) but it seems now it's in there for good. I'll look into a reg key to turn it off, but I doubt it.... I think it's kinda cool myself.
- MP4 file problem is a bitch... I'll look into it some more...
- Did we ever have copy and paste ?!
- I'll include a notepad in the next release...


I noticed myself the XT9 settings dont work anymore. I'll look into it.
The Comm Manager links are wrong. I'll fix that...
Do you have any links to OXios and foxit ? Excel and Word X apps are already in the ROM...

[joeskull]

- Did we ever have copy and paste ?!

Ok... I surrender... we never had it...


Do you have any links to OXios and foxit ?


Well.. you know... these apps are not freeware, so...
I have them working here, but... you know... :rolleyes: I can build a .ZIP straight to your inbox... Let me know.

[uansari1]

Oxios Alarms is a very easy to install app... I don't see the need to bloat the rom with apps that not everyone will use. I think what you've included so far plus Notepad is a perfect starting point for anyone to customize from.

[Tritan88]

What kitchen are you using to cook this rom? There are a couple of things that I would like to add just for my own use that work supplied us with when we got the phones last year.

That is if you don't mind sharing this info.:D

[10507]

Yes, it would be nice to be able to edit the ROM, with respect to adding programs, applications, and more useful stuff for the intended user, and not intend to change or edit developer name.

And is there any way to delete Microsoft My Phone, MSN Money, MSN Weather for the ROM because i don't use any of those applications.

Thank NRGZ28

[dektaewbaan]

Thanks for your nice rom!
I have a bug.
Don't know anyone has the same.
I can use internet sharing just one time.
When I want to use again, I have to reboot the Mobile.

[sgalbincea]

Been using this ROM for a few days now - switched from Rose and all I can say is keep up the good work man - this one is a win!

[joeskull]

I think I found a serious bug. Maybe it has something to do with radio version.

I Live in Brasil, São Paulo, my mobile operator is Vivo, my Area Code is 11.

That said, let me tell you what's hapenning.

I keep getting SMS messages the whole day from NETWORK with the folowing content (without quotes):

"VIVO SP 11"

From 8 am until now (5 pm) I got exactly 73 SMS Messages with the content above.

I called my mobile operator's technical support that told me there were nothing wrong with their network. Incoming calls happens as usual, I can make phone calls too without any problem. No signal lost at all.

Anyone have any suggestion?

It happens also with 6.1 version of your ROM. NRG Rose Rom. It doesn't happen when I use Rickywyatt's WM6.1 ROM (that I was using before).

Regards

[kparikh82276]

I don't think this should affect many people. But because of this i'm going to have to rethink the ROM, but over all this is the best looking ROM so far.

I have a problem when my "Up to Date" is running i can search things, but when i goto open up the file, it gets me ERROR message and crashes, it didn't happen with ROSE,..

i can't explain the issue, i think it may have something to do with the .NET files etc.

I don't know, otherwise love this rom...

[vrus]

nice work on the rom:

bug: installing opera didn't work from the shortcut, had to download and install using edge.

is there a way to change the play media slide panel from using wmp to using htc audio manager?

[Bigmannyjr]

1. There is no interface to configure MMSC setting (had to do it via registry)
2. there is no default app for jpg viewing

Apart from this, seems very stable and fast.

How did you configure mmsc setting via registry?

[ASUDave]

NRG
Thanks for this ROM. I'm having a riahost.exe error when I try to use any of the widgets. Anyone know what this is or how to fix it? Thanks.

[jeonatl3]

You get that if you are using the IE5 version of the ROM. The widgets require the IE6 version.

[istosevski]

ROM is FAAAAAAAANTASTIC!
Couple of already mentioned glitches...
Nothing big so far...
Thank You! NRG

[soulfullvibes]

How can I get it to sync with my google contacts and calendar the active sync says something about time off or something?

[joeskull]

I got lucky yesterday... 53 messages only!:eek:

And today... I got so far (7:30 am to 9 am)... let me see.... 27 messages:D

So... is there something I could do to stop those empty messages other than give up your rom? To be honest, I wouldn´t like to. This rom is awesome.. but this messages are really annoying me.

Regards

[Tek_No]

First of all: definitely the best rom ever for the way I'm using my Dash on a daily basis :)

Just checked the downloads section again: apparently two versions (IE6 and IE5) were uploaded 1 day ago.

What is included in these versions that was not inciuded in the 2009/6/17 versions?

My deepest respect to ALL cooks still cooking for our "old" dash...

Take care,
Tek_No

[Bigmannyjr]

Has the MMS issue with this ROM been resolved?

[NRGZ28]

It has been fixed. I will release one more update with a couple more things fixed, miniweather built in and the htc panels back in as an option. Other than that.. that's it. It seems ookba's got it handled for you guys with the ROMs he's making now :)

So this version should update my google sync with active sync all that should work and not say something about the time being off?

[crimson9292]

NRGZ28,

Hey, im using your 6-20 ie5 release rom for regular use of now. Seems to be the most stable WM 6.5 rom. Phenominal work thanks!

Does this mean you will not be updating the rom anymore after the next release? moving on to something else?

Great job. I'll wait for you update. Over the past 3 months I converted 2 of my co-workers to the Dash with the looks and feel of you ROMs. I've loaded web pages faster then the G1 and I don't have the soft 3G data cap. I've gotten use to the sms/mms thing just as long as I can send mms I'm cool. Later.

Nothing to do? Change radio version? How do I do that, if possible?

Regards.

[yipcanjo]

Dont say that, Im not a fan of the titanium homescreen. Just call me a purist.

I'm wrestling with the same notion myself. Although I like the "newness" of the Titanium layout, I don't think it's quite as efficient. Specifically, in the Titanium layout I cannot see my next *upcoming* calendar event without going to the calendar panel itself. Seems silly to mention, but it's a big deal to me.

All that said, I *do* like the WM6.5 ROMs, so I definitely want to stay in that camp! :)

[bahrami_a]

Hi NRGZ28,
Any idea why BT cannot do data transfer? The only ROM that does it is Kavana's. The hardware is capable of it. So I guess it can be fixed with a registery tweak?

I need data transfer to use my Tomtom's Traffic option.

Thanks for keeping Excauliber alive.

[drifterrolly]

new version should come with Titanium theme too =D

[ASUDave]

You get that if you are using the IE5 version of the ROM. The widgets require the IE6 version.

How do I tell whether I have the IE5 or IE6 version? I thought I was downloading the IE6 version.

[jeonatl3]

Good question - not sure definitively, but if you have a very slow IE and you can use the up/down buttons to zoom in and out of large pages with, it's probably IE6. If it's far snappier and you can't zoom in and out then it's probably IE5.

[ptheabstract]

hey nrg,
nice job! sickly fast.

is there any way to enable bluetooth ftp? being able to browse my phone from my comp again would be sick....(mac :s)

[zeroonea]

how install flash player on this rom, i want play flash content, not flv video, like flash game ....

[LiverpoolFCfan]

So... should I leave your rom? I really wouldn´t want to, but those SMS Messages is a pain in the ***.
Nothing to do? Change radio version? How do I do that, if possible?

Have you tried setting your Country code and Area code in the Settings->Phone->Call Options panel. Maybe it is trying to set it for you ?

Or - is there a setting somewhere to turn on/off Cell Broadcast. I seem to recall one but can't find it

[soulfullvibes]

Has the MMS issue with this ROM been resolved?

No it still doesn't work I have downloaded the latest version and it does not work

Suddenly, (this morning) those messages have stop arriving... I did nothing but a reflash.

Just in case they return, what values should I set in those fields? (hoping this is the solution)

Thanks

All that said, I *do* like the WM6.5 ROMs, so I definitely want to stay in that camp! :)

I feel the same way. The new layout is alright but some aspects bug me still, like the appointments and the missed calls. working in a factory from time to time I do not notice the phone vibrate or hear the ring. Anyway I do like this rom for the starting point and the ability to add only what need/want to it.

[sphinx780]

No it still doesn't work I have downloaded the latest version and it does not work

there hasn't been a new one released yet. if you check the file name, it shows the date of the build. From there you can look at the forum posts and see what issues some are having with the latest build.

[hedgy2136]

This is sweet! Thanks for all of your hard work NRG.

[123SIT]

NRG once again great ROM. How do I get back the dropdown box that appears when you are composing a sms message and shows the matching contacts? I know i can just type it in and then the next page displays the matching contacts. I just prefer it the other way. It was like this in the EnergyROM 6.1. Any help would be appreciated. I did use the search but I may have missed it. If I did I apologize.

[awilaman]

Thanks for a wonderful ROM NRGZ28.

I am quite impressed with the Build 061709 with IE6.

Actually, I installed Juggalo Official Flash Lite 3.1 and I am able to watch embedded Flash videos (Flash 9, I believe) from within IE 6.

The problem, however, is that IE6 does not have a mouse pointer, which makes it quite difficult to navigate.

I was wondering if anybody knows what the issue are or what component is missing. It appears that the Cavalier WM6.5 ROM by ookba has the mouse pointer / cursor working.

Any ideas?

Actually, I installed Juggalo Official Flash Lite 3.1 and I am able to watch embedded Flash videos (Flash 9, I believe) from within IE 6.

The problem, however, is that IE6 does not have a mouse pointer, which makes it quite difficult to navigate.

I was wondering if anybody knows what the issue are or what component is missing. It appears that the Cavalier WM6.5 ROM by ookba has the mouse pointer / cursor working.

Any ideas?

There is also an IE5 version that you can use. It is more usable than the version 6.

[Jamdat33]

How do I tell whether I have the IE5 or IE6 version? I thought I was downloading the IE6 version.

How would one go about deleting the widgets then? I dont like to have icons i cant use and i have been looking in some system folders and i cant find anything

I was able to delete MS Money, MS Weather, and the like widget using Resco explore. Just go into Windows\Start Menu and delete what you don't need. I am not sure how it would react with your phone, but for mine everything runs flawlessly. Also I noticed an increase in RAM after deleting those files.

This wouldn't really remove the programs itself... just the SHORTCUTS from the start menu. It should not affect at all the rest of the phone (not even the programs you deleted).


About the ROM itself...

FREAKING COOL! Perfect.
And it saves an unbelieveable amount of memory.

The top free memory I could get with other ROMs was around 15Mb.
Now I can get 25Mb of free memory on this one!
Amazing!
Working perfectly to me, and you can even use activeSync with google calendar (that I couldn't with < WM6.1!)

Thanks man!

[NRGZ28]

Awesome. Might be updating this one to build 23001 and enable the 6.5 cool UI effects in this newer build.. We'll see how time permits to update my pet project (yes.. that's this ROM.. LOL) :)

[dermann]

- Built on the latest 21812 release of the WM core for smartphone.
please correct me if i'm wrong. the 21812 is part of the wimo core and the higher the number the better and faster it will run?!

any tips for a first time flasher

[mydreamisrich]

Welcome to my kitchen!

Here's what's on the menu today... http://energy.wub.nu/Screens/MenuTools.png

This is an HTC Excalibur ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of this thread. This will also work on the TMobile Dash (which is what's it's primarily setup for) and any other Excalibur variations.

I always build my ROMs with three main goals.


Eye candy.
Speed!
Smoothness, consistency and good esthetics.


I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications are already set, as well as a background and key shortcuts.


I usually make 2 versions of the ROM. If you don't see one in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release yet.

Here are the different versions and what they mean.



"IE6" includes the new IE6 browser
"IE5" includes the older IE5 browser (less RAM being used).

Changelog


June 17 2009 (current) :

- Vista sync settings updated
- Added USB to PC feature in Settings
- Changed keyboard driver to Tmobile driver (a shoudl be able to put the device in vibrate mode now)
- Added Resco Registry and FTP plugins (removed PHM Registry Editor)
- Fixed T9 issues
- Fixed Java shortcut, Java is back in now
- Widgets fixed
- Filesystem cache set to 0 for the OS to auto manage it. More RAM!
- Added Ricky's "extras" such as ET9 layout changed, default browser button changer, opera mini... etc
- Improved memory management.. even with IE6

June 16 2009:

- Initial Release

- Got rid of the ugly green old "windows mobile" logo at bootup.
- Added new color iconbar on the top screen with my icons. See screenshots
- Built on the latest 21812 release of the WM core for smartphone.
- Added Resco Explorer to the ROM. Removed Total Commander.

Notes:


- Playing .mp4 videos in Windows Media Player still wont show video. However you can play them with anything else, like Coreplayer, tcpmp, etc
- RAM SEEMS to be on the low side at around 20-21 megs free. This is probably due to IE6 being a big fat pig, and not really meant to be installed on a device with 64 megs of RAM. This is why I will also provide a version with IE5, shortly.

If you want to check out my other Excalibur ROM based on Windows Mobile 6.1 look in this forum for it :)

I tried up Rom 6.5 but error when starting energyROM. help me~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[straptin958]

USB connection isnt working with my laptop.. I know i have to turn it on.. Where do i Go?

[Scrappydog]

Some things I REALLY like about this ROM:

No green screen on startup. I'm not sure why I hate that thing so much...

No big gaudy/dorky icons on the panels. That big clock emblem to tell me I'm on the clock panel is redundant because the actual time is displayed already. Besides, those things make a nice phone look incredibly cheesy...

The program icons don't all look the same. It makes it easier to find programs when the icons are different colors and shapes. Eventually I'll figure out how to swap icons out but this is pretty damned good right out of the box.

There is an app on the start menu, called USB Storage.

there's also, what seems to be a WM6.5 native interface, on
settings>connections>USB to PC
where you can enable the DISK DRIVE option.
This options doesnt work for me, dunno why.

but the USB Storage app worked just fine

[hoosierace]

Is there anyway you might be able to incorporate using phones videocam as a webcam with your pc/laptop for YIM, MSN along with other chat programs such as PalTalk or Skype. So far I have had no success using ActveSync.

I'm sure this is a feature MANY Dash/Excalibur owners would love to see included this new WM6.5 version.


Thanks,

[JohnCody]

Hey NRGZ28,

Big fan of your miniweather 1.0 especially due to it being implemented in script so I was able to customize it's features a little :)

Anyway, I am very happy with my current WM6.1 Dash, but would like to add some features that are in WM 6.5.

Your ROM includes the TOP feature I want - IE6. Yeah - it's a bit slow and takes up memory, but I need a local browser that can accurately display desktop webpages - I don't want to use a proxy browser like skyfire due to security issues.

So, I actually just purchased a Verizon Ozone (i.e. HTC Snap) and even though it is WM 6.1, it looks like it includes IE6. (I am returning the ozone because they want an extra $30/mo to allow BT/Wifi tethering ON TOP of the $30/mo for unlimited data!)

One thing I noticed about the IE6 in the ozone was that there is a mouse arrow/hand that the d-pad controls. You can see how it looks/operates in this little wmv video (4MB) I recorded:

http://www.omnisoft.com/downloads/missingIE6arrow.wmv

As you can see that arrow/hand helps tremendously in selecting links on a webpage.

But for some reason, there is no such arrow in the IE6 in your rom - so it makes it very difficult to accurately hilight desired links/hotspots. Not having this arrow also confuses users as to why when they click the d-pad left/right/up/down that they have to repeat the presses a few times before the screen starts scrolling in a new direction (theres a delay) - If the arrow was visible then they would see that these non-action clicks were really moving the arrow across the screen and the screen won't start to scroll until the arrow reaches it's limit in that direction, then it starts pushing/scrolling the page in that direction.

I am a programmer and one thing that I noticed that may help you get the arrow displaying is that if I use a screen capture app to capture the screen of IE6, it WONT capture the arrow - meaning that the arrow seems to be drawn using some other method that the screen capture app cant see.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could get the arrow working :) P.s. I made a little donation if that helps with the motivation to fix this issue ;)

[JohnCody]

Speaking of Miniweather 1.0...

Do you have any tips on how to get it working on the homescreen of your/this WM 6.5 ROM?

(i.e. the "Welcome Center" listing in chome editor is red and wont allow me to display that panel)

-John

[JohnCody]

Darn, another thing I forgot to ask...

It is possible to copy IE6 related files from your rom to my WM 6.1 dash to add IE6 to WM 6.1, or is this not possible?

If it is possible, do you know which files I should copy over?

[hoosierace]

Thanks... However I believe many would like to have this included as a FREEWARE accessory on their phone.

[joeskull]

Have you tried setting your Country code and Area code in the Settings->Phone->Call Options panel. Maybe it is trying to set it for you ?

Or - is there a setting somewhere to turn on/off Cell Broadcast. I seem to recall one but can't find it

Let's suppose I have 2 sim cards from different operators. Will I have to make this setup twice? One for each sim? Or these settings are saved on the phone and are used for both sim's?

Regards.

The only "workaround" I know of is to flash the other cooks WM6.5 ROM. He just released a new version. MMS is a big part of my phone use, I did't want to be without it.

I'll let NRG shed more light on this but from what I've learned in "chef" school, the older MMS doesn't seem to mix well with the newer SYS versions. I have tried both on my "daily driver" Dash and I found that having the newer SMS/MMS installed makes life much easier fromt he standpoint of messaging. Also, having SMS and MMS together gives you much more flexibility as both are threaded like SMS in the same conversations, which, is nice to have (and MMS comes up as a little icon link in the threaded conversation)... All comes down to preference I guess.

For sure... going back to Kavana remade by Ricky. Or maybe I´ll give Ookba´s 6.5 a try...

Farewell

[Bigmannyjr]

I also personally like the SMS/MMS grouped together.

I feel we who have a problem with the mms is not with it being grouped togeather. The problem is not being able to "finish" setting it up for the size we want. T-Mobile USA let us send MMS as big as 1mb.

[NRGZ28]

The ROM will get an update... but I've been very busy cranking out PPC ROMs :P

I will also have to look into overlayind the hardware cursor in the IE6 window.

It's not a problem I've experienced so I would hesitantly say it might be your phone, maybe a hard reset and re-flash of the ROM would solve it but remember to back up your data first!

I have tried to re-flash, hard reset and clear storage with no luck. I just figured that it is something I have to live with. I am not sure how to address this any other way and have yet been able to make a usable modified cooked rom using this one as the starting point.

I do like this rom regardless and I look forward to any future updates.

[tech_girl]

Hi NRGZ28. I have flashed to this 6.5EnergyROM after trying your 6.1.EnergyROM. I have found two "bugs" while using 6.5 ROM.

(1) With the WM6.1 version, I was able to enter the name of the recipient and then it would automatically show the names in my contacts. For example, if I enter Tom, then all the Toms in my contact would show up and I can then select it. This is no longer the case for WM6.5 version.

(2) I am unable to move an existing text message to the DRAFT, or any other folders whereas I could do that before with your 6.1EneregyROM.

Could you look into this? Thanks.

Hey there! Does anyone know what is going on with the opera browser when installed from the .CAB file? The font is damned near unreadable. If i increase the font size to large its slightly more useable. Apologies if someone already posted a fix for this.

As far as I know this is only a problem when used in the NRG rom (i think the EVO/ookba rom already has a version of opera installed by default).

Love this rom. Its the one i use daily.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure what the fix is with the cab file but I just dl'd the .jar or .jad file (can't remember which one off hand) and now use that, keep it on my sd card so I have it anytime I reflash, as long as the ROM has java...upload it and it works just fine....and this one does. :p

You'll need to get into the bootloader by turning the phone off, then hold the camera button and the plug in the USB cable. A tri-colour screen should appear.

You can then flash your OFFICIAL carrier ROM only - there is a sticky with links on the forum and once that's up and running you can flash the previous NRG release.

My expectation is that people that decide to upgrade to unofficial/custom ROMs should read as much of the documentation as they can and also read the disclaimers.

In my eagerness to upgrade to NRGZ28's 2009/07/07 build, I didn't take the necessary precautions and ran into the same problem:

The boot process getting stuck at the "Starting EnergyROM" splash screen.


(1) The resolution that I tried took me back to downloading all the ROMs on the official ROMS sticky thread that matches my device (mine is T-Mobile branded)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726

(2) Next, I turned my phone off.

(3) Then I restarted my phone and pushed the camera button. This brings up the tricolor screen.

(4) Then I connected my phone to my computer via a USB cable

(5)I ran the official ROM version for my device (T-Mobile Dash Software Update 1.22.531.8.exe was the one that finally worked) on my computer. I got this from the download link in posts 208 & 212 by crimson9292.

(6) I stepped through the RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) wizard and started the upgrade process.

(7) And then I waited till the RUU told me that it was finished and it worked!!!


Now, if something didn't work, please identify what didn't work. I am assuming in most cases, the challenge is finding the appropriate official ROM.

I hope so. That's what I'm waiting to see. But while I was waiting for the MMS issue to be fixed the new 3VO ROM has now got a Titanium Configuator which allows you to create your own panels. If the MMS issue is fixed it will be a choice of a "snapper" EnergyROm vs. "everything you want from your Today screen" 3VOLUTION ROM. It is a great time to own a smartphone.

I haven't tried the 3evolution rom yet and quite honestly I dont plan on it. It just seems to convoluted for my tastes but if all else fails i will give it a try.
but I agree on the smartphone bit. to this day even tho its out dated i still tell ppl that the dash is the best phone I've ever own, I poured wax on it by accident and it still works. I can take it in the shower and get water in the key board and it works. i can drop it down stairs and it works, and windows mobile allows for soooo many different hacks and even game emulators to be put on it.

Just Test the new rom

Seems like myPhone service doesn't work.

yeah.. that might be due to IE6 not being in the ROM. Not sure...

I guess so, cuz i can login with skyfire, but not via IE5

Update: Flash back to early version with IE6, it still doesn't work.
Perhaps Microsoft won't recognize new rom with previous update. Anyway, ActiveSync works great since I only sync Calendar.

Hi,
I seem to have:
res://shdoclc.dll/mobile-navcancl.htm

as my homepage in IE. Needless to say nothing come up. Is there a way to get my regular page (igoogle) as my homepage again?

Thanks for the ROM, great work!

just edit the registry key \hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\internet explorer\ about urls\ home_0409....to whatever homepage you want...i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com....

Found a bug
Setting-> Sound
Ringtone cant be played properly

Update: Actually, we need to wait 3-5 second till it start play.


UPDATE 2: AUDIO MANAGER DOESN'T WORK!

great release NRG. superfast and stable as a rock. i have 3 excaliburs. 1 is running your release. 2nd one has 3vo. the 3rd one which i recently inherited still has wm5 on it (original rom). say do you by chance know where i can get a kitchen and a basic 6.5 rom (as little pre customization as possible) from? id like to try build a little something and drop it on my 3rd device then give it to my sister as a birthday gift (just add a few personal touches to a base rom).

Getting kinda frustrated, had the Kavana Rom & tried to install new Energy Rom... keep getting 3% done and getting a message that "The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility." WTF I have even downloaded from the mirror, same result. No luck, any help is greatly appreciated.

...nvr mind, I figured it out, duuuhhhhh:o

You gotta follow the instructions. Now you must load your "factory" ROM, load the hacked bootloader and then load this ROM. All with a well charged battery. Then you can tell me if the MMS works.

This is a lot cleaner and smoother/snappier than the last. I am overclocked at 264/266 mhz using the default pagepool of 8mb for any who are wondering..

Thanks NRGZ! You are and always will be.. my friend..

Thx Bro, but I got it. I had forgotten an obvious step. It works now, but my battery is sh*t. E-bay here I come.

[10507]

Any more update on this ROM?

[Ruvia]

Actually, we need to wait 3-5 second till it start play.

The sound in games also is freezed near 3-5 second. The DirectX does not work correct with GDI.

Hi,
this rom version has issue. I can hear incomming audio AFTER approx 8 seconds after pick up call.

[Tritan88]

I have noticed this also. I decided to revert back to the 6/20 IE5 version for now because of it. I was using the IE6 version but I removed the files before testing the new rom, I know it was my own mistake but hey live and learn right. :confused:
