hmmm, fresh meat ;)



Please Tomal, or anyone who flash it to a 64mb UNI, please post the amount of free ram after HR.

thanx

[diencaidau]

Do wn load right away and test although very please with 8.9. Report after some days.

Hundreds of thanks to My Dear Boss Uni Tomal!

[nfbarata]

Hi Tomal thnks for this new rom :)

The first thing, not important, is the version number of the rom is 8.9 in the startup screen

The today screen freezes a lot

dciBattery is in Russian or whatever :)

I'll continue testing, and try to take out the today screen to see the behaviour

But for what I saw this today screen is very good in terms of features, but too heavy.. :'(

I'm reorganizing the whole bunch of pkg's for WM6.5 and some pkg may not work as expected at this stage. Importantly, I'll discover them during beta test and it will then help to improve the stability.

thanx for the feedback

[nfbarata]

The Wktask feature like open windows in the menu i think is very important and brightness and reset control too

We don't have interactive buttons in the menu.. the sound/network bluetooth etc don't respond.

Bluetooth is working for me

Up/down button isn't changing sound volume anymore, is used for navigation, but in wmp is changing the volume :? - We don't have any master button to control the volume

Having problems with activesync - i'll post later

[nfbarata]

I can't find the option menu that enable us to choose the type of network, if we want just 3g or not. I had to change this settings in the paste to get network in low network available sites.

i saw it in any rom i tried (including my own cooking), it is really annoying, i hope you solve it :)

[nfbarata]

Connection Setup link isn't working and now disapeared from settings/connections

Please someone post some scren shots

Thanks in advance for all your hard work!

[mokalovesoulmate]

Oh my God,

Yesterday I just flashing my Uni with 21048 (WM6.1) but you has been releasing 6.5.

GREAT, PERFECT, AWESOME JOB TOMAL !!

moka

[rajivshahi]

Downloading now.....:D:D:D:D:D

Thanx a lot Master Tomal......:D:D:D:D:D

[sanchitgrover]

This might appear to be silly question but
is the titanium skin included or not??
And what about the free ram???

[sanchitgrover]

downloading myself becoz there is no one to share about the experience..
one thing i wanna say about tomal.. man u the greatest.. do you to know y???
he uploaded the file on vidmes and vidmes is not su--ing as rapidshare is..;)

[omar4ever]

Big Boss You will not work in WM6.1 Again ??

[frouzman]

After HR free ram is 20-21mb.Its good but only for testing not works.Thanks Tomal for your hard works.For me is the best 8.9

[phezthie]

another cook from the great chef that is worth to taste .... downloading :)

[JouSePo]

After HR free ram is 20-21mb.Its good but only for testing not works.Thanks Tomal for your hard works.For me is the best 8.9

is that true?

[PaulKen]

Thanks for your work Tomal.

For those who want to know, ram is 14.5Mb

so far..
All cab installs have been unsuccessful.

In sounds and notifications, cannot "ok" to apply settings (screen freezes).
In phone settings, after selecting ringtone get error, "ringtone corrupt, choose another" (selecting ringtone through file explorer works)

no volume control

cannot set up Windows Live, error "failed to establish an internet connection"

cannot activate wm5torage, error "can't switch to mass storage USB driver error 1f.."

getting lots of freezes and have to SR a lot. Got the smeared screen mentioned above. ram had dropped to 7Mb with nothing running. A 64mb Uni is going to have problems running this. Pity. It looks great and when it is running it is nice.

But..its a beta...who knows what Tomal will be able to do?:D

[phezthie]

sad to say, but definitely no offense intended, explode's 6.5 is better..... certainly, back to master's 8.5....:)

same here i thought i'm theonly one..nicetosee other people havingthe sameproblem...hihihihi

[-Jonny-]

Ok, you've won me over... am now testing this ROM.
First impressions... love it!
I have a few problems, one of them isn't installing cabs. I will report some more later when I have time - as for now it's going to get a real road test!

[rod555]

tomtom 7.915 not run install cab

[+ Que PPC]

But you can try the cab for HTCUSBtoPC POPUP1.18 diamond sometimes it works to make your SD to mass storage...

nice to see that you try to get 6.5 on uni.

[tomal]

I'm sure that you'll have tons of problems with the build and it is not unexpected. But it then helps me to identify the programs about who is causing such behavior.

Thanks for reporting.

[-Jonny-]

Ok, here's my initial report.


Firstly, it's a great ßeta... thanks Tomal.

The grey background to text is nice idea, but it isn't compatible with all dialogs (see screen shot)
Top bar buttons don't respond (eg G button; volume button)
No Flash Disk
No ExtendedROM Storage
Slows down at times (I'm using PagePool at FFFF)
Undecided about volume control being used as jog button. Nice thought, but I usually use finger on screen more than the buttons.
Sometimes suddenly programs close down (certainly ones running in background, and sometimes even the one I'm using!)
Prefer the Rhodium Comm Manager (you can click on each panel to go to settings, as well as pressing switch on/off for each panel - see screen shot)
I had to install NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab to get reStart and CHome Editor to work.. why? (I thought .NET 3.7 was fully installed)
I like the finger-friendly menu's, but is there a way of making the rows closer together?
Working ok: fring, BT pairing; Route66
Not working: iGo8
Again, I prefer 4-column start with honeycomb (see screen shot)

A solution to 'cabs wont install'
First remove CHome screen
in Settings\Today\Items untick 'windows default'
Now you should be able to install!

Tomal, if we support you by donating so you can buy a new device, then you'll not be developing for Uni any more... a bit like shooting myself in the foot!!

[omar4ever]

Thanks Jonny....

[tomal]

Ok, here's my initial report.



Firstly, it's a great ßeta... thanks Tomal...........
Thank you Jonny, I'm working for the next build hope at least some of the issues will be resolved in the next beta.

Tomal, if we support you by donating so you can buy a new device, then you'll not be developing for Uni any more... a bit like shooting myself in the foot!!
My uni is half way to meet her earlier friend! Replacement of the whole LCD is not worth from my point of view and that is actually forcing me to buy a new device as fast as possible. But I'm not leaving Uni some time soon...unless..until she leaves me herself.


Well, it may happen that you need to shoot your foot by any means...isn't it good enough to have some practice in advance...?! ;);)

[tomal]

beta-2 uploaded.

[rod555]

great Tomal! i help you for buy new uni ;)

[rajivshahi]

great Tomal! i help you for buy new uni ;)

Ya Rod sound good Idea to keep the Master Chef in uni forum. LOL:D:D:D

Thanx Master Tomal for the hard work and is there any way we can put animation in startup.

[rod555]

first impression for beta 2 that it's always slow with theme default too. With keyboard open not write new app in calendar. Tomtom now setup run.
Many bug fixed in this release, thanks Tomal

[dani132]

can any one tell how much free ram after reset in bt 2?

[rod555]

after soft reset

[phezthie]

beta 2, improved and better... no freeze experienced.

the only problem so far... using 64MB Uni, programs are quite slow.

is there a way to create a virtual memory using the storage card to solve this? just asking ....:D

btw, many thanks master tomal :)... you deserve unconditional praises for your efforts, more power.. :D:D

[-Jonny-]

Tomal, thanks for ß2...


Now working:

Top bar buttons
Volume button used for volume
iGo8
four-column start menu
settings\sound & notifications\notifications are half working... can set ring tone, but not ring type (want 'vibrate and ring', doesn't work) [also settings\personal\phone - ring type]
Still not working:

Cannot open BBC news (WMP looks ok, but no sound and no picture!)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/news_ost/bb/wm/video/news1_bb.asx?ad=1&ct=50
Problems with grey background to text. I use 'Ron Arad orange' today theme (supplied)
No Flash Disk
No ExtendedROM Storage
No Rhodium Comm Manager :(
Will continue to test. Good to hear your not leaving Uni soon!

Here is my answer:

Flashlite has been removed in B2 as it is consuming nearly 800k memory. I think it is not worthy for 64mb devices. But I'm not sure if BBC news is based on flash video.
I can't reproduce the problem in the default theme. Seems it is theme specific problem.
WM65 consumed a lot space from the rom and there is not much left. There will be no FD for WM65 build (at least in my build).
ExtRom just set to hidden. Open AdvConf and make it visible if you want it.
PhoneSetting applet in Uni is not compatible with the latest Com manager. Besides, rilgsm using a different registry than latest com manager actually writes. That's the reason I'm still stick to the earlier one.
Cheers

[rod555]

in beta version only you can embed sw for snapshot Tomal for help you in testing ;)

[-Jonny-]

Thanks Tomal for help.

Ok, I thought I'd try and get Flashlite from your B1, but when I try to Dump XIP I get 'ERROR: No XIP section Found!'. Am I doing something wrong in kitchen? :confused:I can't reproduce the problem in the default theme. Seems it is theme specific problem.
It is a theme supplied in the ROM called 'Ron Arad orange' :cool:
WM65 consumed a lot space from the rom and there is not much left. There will be no FD for WM65 build (at least in my build).
That's fine, it was the Storage I wanted the most (for IECache)
ExtRom just set to hidden. Open AdvConf and make it visible if you want it.
Thanks, I should have tried that first :o

It was working on xplode's ROM, which is where I found out about it. I can't get the ROM to dump into neat packages when I dump it... but it does dump! :eek:
Thank you Tomal not only for excellent ROM's, but also for all the support you give everybody with them. :)

[PaulKen]

Just flashed b2. Anyone else getting this one?

Caller ID not working for calls or SMS. (the callers number appears instead of their name from contacts) this didnt happen in B1.

EDIT

My own fault! Bad pim restore

[vester]

:cool:Great ROM !!!... thanks tomal !!!



but, hot to show battrey meter on today screen :confused:

like this:

can't see your piccy, but for battery on today screen, use Advanced Config

[vester]

can't see your piccy, but for battery on today screen, use Advanced Config

thanksss !!! :D

[sanchitgrover]

:confused::confused:thanx but can u tell me how to change the dialer pad???
i mean the phone pad???????
i don't like it plssssss:confused::confused:

[PaulKen]

Same problems as jonny with sounds and notifications. Still having to SR a lot.

Taking the CHome plugin off the today screen helps. it uses almost 3mb of ram to run it.:( pity it was really nice.

stopped reading the SDHC card. tried resetting the sd settings, both options, several times, no good. Hard reset. start again. the joys of testing:)

[tomal]

WM6.5 is just for testing...till yet.
If you're looking for stability then WM6.1 is the right choice. But if want to try wm6.5 then device may behave slightly better with 128mb ram.

cheers

[sanchitgrover]

sir i wanted t ask u one thing... which i'm not able to unerstand... the rom b2 gives about 13 mb free ram and the luca's new version gives 21 mb?????
isn't that a huge difference?????
how is it possible?????

[vester]

thx tomal for the ROM,

but i have a little problem, when i open my cover, icon looks strange(icon stretching)

how i fix this prob? thx

[tomal]

This is a mature build and got some stability (though still there are some known issues).
At least I've started using it for my everyday use.

[-Jonny-]

every time I install a cab using cecmd or file-explorer, cecmd or file-explorer closes down

[diencaidau]

Thanks to my Boss Uni Tomal, hope more memo to play with Uni 64mb.

[tomal]

every time I install a cab using cecmd or file-explorer, cecmd or file-explorer closes down
might be htcaddict's cleanRam, not sure though.
but I don't have it here. disable it from startup and notification and let me know ...

[dani132]

thanks tomal after disabling windows default free ram is more than 20 mb

[-Jonny-]

nope, cecmd still closes down. (I change PP to FFFF)
Also cecmd shows strange icon for selection.
Perhaps I doc format and reflash?

[tomal]

strange icon issue can't be resolved in this build since it is a bug in the shell. but it is just a cosmetic issue.

[romeotango]

hmm.. i already tried the B3 version... almost everything is doing fine for me except one thing.

If I turn off the device.. after a few minutes idle, it seems that my O2 XDA Exec is 'frozen' inside... I can't wake up the device and need to do a soft reset... I alrady soft reseting 4 time on the last 5 hours...

Am I the only one who experiencing this bug?

Thanks anyway I really like the interface. :D

[-Jonny-]

ok, I see startup in reg. have removed startup of cleanRAM and is now working ok. Perhaps cleanRAM not needed on 128 Uni?

[-Jonny-]

oops, deleted double post
- seems to be common problem these days on xda? (I didn't press send twice)

[tomal]

ok, I see startup in reg. have removed startup of cleanRAM and is now working ok. Perhaps cleanRAM not needed on 128 Uni?
Thanx it get fixed. :)
Yes, since beta builds are for 64mb and cleanRAM will not be included in 128mb build.


cheers

[sanchitgrover]

wheni turn off my uni after sometime it freezes... that's the only problem.. i'm not using my uni untill master tomal have a look at this problem and solves it.. pls pls pls help pls tomal 've a look at this problm...

[-Jonny-]

Working well:
Settings\sound & notifications\notifications are fully working
Fixed problems with grey background to text (when using other themes, such as 'Ron Arad orange' today theme)
Nice 3-d black phone buttons (Screen02.jpg)

Problems:
Having a bit of trouble connecting BT device (GPS). It eventually connected after disappearing a couple of times. Working ok with iGo8, but can't get Route66 to connect to it still (in fact, I can't get Route66 to run!).

I don't have the off-freeze. Perhaps this is a 64MB issue.

My icons don't appear on the Start Menu for those that are on my SD card (I know I can get around this by using png's on the main card, but they used to show ok). I have tried changing PNP unload and wait I/O delay to no avail (Screen01.jpg)

edit: PC reboot resolved the following reported problem:
Hmm, now ActiveSync won't start when I connect the Uni via USB. MyMobiler is running ok, but cannot Sync anymore.
Going to reboot my PC and try ActiveSync again.

[pgmunzi]

When we can have a 128MB version?

Thanks

[tomal]

wheni turn off my uni after sometime it freezes... that's the only problem.. i'm not using my uni untill master tomal have a look at this problem and solves it.. pls pls pls help pls tomal 've a look at this problm...
I can't reproduce this problem here.

But try disabling the cleanRAM tool...
Seems it is not reliable on Uni/WM65.

[sanchitgrover]

but i don't know how to do that????????
from where can i disable it?????

[-Jonny-]

but i don't know how to do that????????
from where can i disable it?????
delete cleanRAM key from HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps
When we can have a 128MB version?
I expect Tomal will use same base for 128MB version - best thing to do is change pagePool for now and do some beta testing on this ROM

[rod555]

wheni turn off my uni after sometime it freezes... that's the only problem.. i'm not using my uni untill master tomal have a look at this problem and solves it.. pls pls pls help pls tomal 've a look at this problm...

same problem for me when turn off

[tomal]

in addition to Jonny's post, open DF task manager, go to notification tab and remove the entry for cleanRam.
do a soft reset.
any improvement noticed?

[sanchitgrover]

i don't think its not making any good... 'll reply soon to confirm thanx

no it has not done anything ... and i'm not able to what jonny has said becoz i don't know how to do that????
but yes i've disabled clean ram from the taskmanager..

[speechless]

beta2 more stable beta3 freezing a lot

[vester]

wheni turn off my uni after sometime it freezes... that's the only problem.. i'm not using my uni untill master tomal have a look at this problem and solves it.. pls pls pls help pls tomal 've a look at this problm...

Ok, I found the "turn-off-freeze" problem.
I'll try to upload a new build with the fix.

cheers

[JouSePo]

Ok, I found the "turn-off-freeze" problem.

Great!!! But another thing... i don't know why but can't run 2 applications (TCPMP and PocketUno) at the same time with around 20mb free of ram and in luca's rom is possible.
There is a problem with pagepool, some cache or similar?

thx!!!!

[alec_chu]

me too... i thing beta-2 is better... :rolleyes:

I found the same issue, turn-off-freeze,
I run soft-reset for several times,
now still using 6.1 20758

Mine is 64M~

[pgmunzi]

I expect Tomal will use same base for 128MB version - best thing to do is change pagePool for now and do some beta testing on this ROM

Only change the pagepool? No problem i can do this.

Please confirm: this is the only operation to use all 128MB?

[vester]

Ok, I found the "turn-off-freeze" problem.
I'll try to upload a new build with the fix.

cheers

THANKS !!! Can't wait... :rolleyes:

[JouSePo]

Couriosly all applications may not response and doesn't open including msft apps!!! After a softreset also!!!

need to do a hard reset.... after that try to run WMP and PocketUno and i've see that WMP consumes about 1~2mb only!!!!!! and 2 applications runs fine and left 16mb free of ram :o

Only quits Titanium and memory stay at 19~20mb!!!!! Great improvement for windows mobile 6.5!!!!

i'm waiting for the next release that fix (power-of-freeze no xD, power-off-freeze) problem and graphics glitches if possible...

Other things that i've see is that in StartMenu in landscape mode only shows 3 columns instead of 4 or 6...

Also if you want can translate your releases to spanish or provide you the necesary to do yourself ;)

[pappt]

Could some explain me what are the benefits of wm65? What are the improvements relative to wm61?
I didn't see many, only the new style of start menu.
I only see the disadvantages: slower, needs more ram (on UNI64 it's critically)

There's somewhere a list about the changes? Maybe at microsoft.com?

many thanks tomal for your rom, and please can you tell us what is the favoret radio version for this rom???

[dani132]

thanks tomal for such a nice rom
running smoothly on my 64 mb device.
once again thanx

[JouSePo]

Nice improvements in 23004 B4!!!! Great tomal!!!

But pictures&videos icon give the next error in start menu:

"The file ':MSPIMG[blank space]' cannot be opened. Either[...]"

what about install WMWidgets?

continue testing... great work!!!

[*****]

How is the sound in handsfree mode? is it good like 6.1 or again is not good?


Thanck you

[-Jonny-]

handsfree sounds great to me!

Thanks Tomal, ß4 is looking great and responding well. We now get 5 columns start on landscape mode... nice!

We have application launcher in CHome... Have you thought of integrating reStart, favepeople and titaniumweather into the ROM?

Also I'm not fan of the TaskMenu. You have to go to home screen to task-switch. (I know, I just disable it and load QuickMenu).

Still testing, but haven;t come accross any show stoppers. About time to make it a proper release?!

[-Jonny-]

edit: deleted a double post again... what's going on with xda? It keeps double posting :mad:

[kalya]

18 MB on startup.Great.

A very simple question to Tomal and other developers...

What exactly should people like me (only users...not developers) should look out while testing a beta release?

I just try various apps I use often and see if they work properly.

Do you want us (laymen) to do anything else for feedback?

Thanks!

[Erikih]

Hi tomal.

I saw that there is a rom available for 128mb. I have a G3 universal with bootloader v1.01. Is my device supported? The rom flash size is 128 @ my universal.

Tomorow I will need tomtom, can someone confirm if it is working or not?

I'm using your 128MB version,stable and fast.

[tomal]

Nice improvements in 23004 B4!!!! Great tomal!!!

But pictures&videos icon give the next error in start menu:

"The file ':MSPIMG[blank space]' cannot be opened. Either[...]"

what about install WMWidgets?

continue testing... great work!!!

Thanx for the report. I'll fix the shortcut in next build.
For WMWidgets, it is available in 128Mb build.

[tomal]

handsfree sounds great to me!

Thanks Tomal, ß4 is looking great and responding well. We now get 5 columns start on landscape mode... nice!

We have application launcher in CHome... Have you thought of integrating reStart, favepeople and titaniumweather into the ROM?

Also I'm not fan of the TaskMenu. You have to go to home screen to task-switch. (I know, I just disable it and load QuickMenu).

Still testing, but haven;t come accross any show stoppers. About time to make it a proper release?!
Thank you Jonny. Yes, it's time for a Release.
There are still some (known) issues. But I'll fix them in comming FINAL build. :D


Cheers

[orb3000]

Great to hear that Tomal!

Sorry I have not contributed with reporting bugs, but this last month I have been travelling a lot and can´t afford a beta ROM as is my one and only main device for work/personal.

Final release just in time before you get your hands on yor new toy (Blackstone):D

Used Advance Config to change Today top-bar to Battery (rather than clock). However it reverts to clock, and when I press Start it changes to battery!?

[alec_chu]

Thanks to Tomal for this B4,
after one day testing, I have some questions:
1, there is no applications icon in 64M rom?
2, no battery status show in 64M rom?
3, Why I cannot change Pagepool smaler for 128M to use in my 64M UNI?

Waiting for your final version~

[moiisse]

:D
thx tomal for the great job...
b4 looks great, it's the first ever 6.5 version for universal that worth to be used on our beloved universal...

it seems that your going to use your new toy (BLACKSTONE) :confused:
so no more great rom for universal.... will our beloved die!!!!


BUG report!
i noticed that i'm not capable to receive bluetooth, despite i'm able to send...

again thx for your great job, and it seems that i have to follow you to the blackstone forum after a while....

Finally had time to install and after my first hours I can say that visually is fantastic! it´s my first 6.5 ROM.

Installed a few apps and storage RAM is in 27.64mb
But program memory is at 16.93 (Synced my device and all was perfect exept that program memory went down to 4mb available!)

I have never used overclocking but this time on my 64mb Uni I think I will.
I know there is always a risk when overclocking but in your experience guys do you think it can do a harm really?
What are your experiences?

I am having hard time to understand CHome editor in order to add/change stuff on today...
Hope I can understand better how to customize today.

1) Did as suggested by you above. But the link is still broken.

2) Starting the Camera application brings the error "Failed to initialize camera. 36001:100:1".

3) Is there a fix to run TCPMP properly on your ROM. I have noticed that the 'Volume Normalisation' option in the 'Equalizer' somehow doesn't function and sound crakles like hell. Possibly the reason why you didn't include TCPMP in you ROM.


Otherwise, a superb ROM. I have tried a couple of other WM 6.5 ROMs available elsewhere in the forum. This one, without any doubt is the fastest & most stable. And i am overjoyed with the over 21 MB memory i get after rare soft resets. 18 MB is constant on normal use.

Thanks in advance,

Orb, only way of increasing memory is

reducing number or size of programs running in background (ie, get rid of unecessary today items including CHome/Titanium). They may look nice, but, for example, you can get a weather program which can be closed, rather than having it always 'on'. Each today/CHome item may seem to take up small space, but it all adds up, and the memory will always be 'in use'
decrease PagePool (taking it below 4MB may give problems, but you can always try, I think Tomal uses 6 or 6.5MB PagePool)
flashing back to earlier ROM. There does seem to be substantial bloat from 6.1 to 6.5 (as there always is in any ROM advance). IE may be better, but it's also bigger. I expect this is same for much of MS stuff and other apps. They tend to get bigger as well as better, as they're made for machines with more free memory.
increasing physical memory size to 128MB (I think everyone waiting on Tomal for this :D)
I think you knew all this anyway, but there is no 'magic-wand'!

[orb3000]

Hi -Jonny-

Thanks for your advices.
You answered perfect my question! Conclusion: I need 128mb RAM for my Uni!
(Even it´s not clear to me how 128mb RAM will help to add space to programs memory?)

-Using another ROM,s, As you know, I am a long time Ranju/Tomal ROM user and tested almost all his great versions,I know this option but I am really bored with 6.1 so it´s not an option to me.

-I don´t want to change pagepool, as I think the original ROM config is the adecuate.

In the meantime I can get a 128mb upgrade I am using it in work enviorment with windows defaul deactivated, and for personal usage it´s activated. This way is working ok to me.

Cheers my friend,

p.s: I love this part!:D

How can I remove the top Taskbar Battery meter?

[tomal]

@orb:
From my experience it seems that main OS component for WM65 do not actually consume that much memory. So the rest part is UI, where you need to take a look.
Titanium home is one of the memory killers and another one I can say is the graphics based honeycomb. Try removing the extra graphics for program icons, it may help to get some extra memory.

Take a look on the following reg tree...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]

Most of the links has an extra graphics for stylish icon, remove that.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Internet Sharing.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_IS.png"
"Rank"=dword:35A4EBF6

Hi Tomal First of all I would like to thank you for your hard work and for all your efforts to keep the UNI alive because of you we all still interested in keeping UNI for some more time.I am using your ROM 8.9 and it is fantastic I want to keep that ROM running but because there is no video calling fasality I have to downgrade my uni to WM 5 and believe me I dont want to do that at all so I request you to please make it work I mean the video calling and I am sure lots of people will be more than happy to see its working in your ROM.Please help us if you can but if its not possible with WM6 then I have to downgrade my UNI with heavy heart.The camera in WM5 is not good it does not records vedio in full screen mode and even after recording if you play the recording in WMP it again plays in very small screen so could you suggest me what I should I do to make it record in full screen or is there any other newer version of HTC camers saftware that I can install in WM5? Please help.

looks like from now on there will be some work to do for the "memory upgraders" out there...
too bad it's not easy to find one that is not in the other hemisphere...

[orb3000]

On my personal case here is my problem why not have upgraded yet to 128mb to really enjoy of this incredible ROM:

1. My knowledge or people surounding me to disamble my Uni and sent MB to Tomal or any other place are very very low, so this is not an option for me.

2. In my country there is not a place where I can do any upgrade or asking for disamble (I have searched and asked).

3. Shiping costs to/from my country are very expensive.

4. Customs and taxes are ridiculous high and not very effective to send or recieve any electronic from any country.

Said that, and thinked a lot, my solution is to wait till october that I´llbe for 45 days in Holland and soon as I arrive I can send to UK to do the upgrade at very high cost (at least for me), but definetly I will do it!, even if I buy another device.
Hope this work trip is not cancelled, if so I will be totally with no more options...

If somebody has an advice here, please do!! :)

You do know I can walk you through disassembly and reassembly sequence, right? Pulling the mainboard out and sending it to wherever you want can be done.

[tomal]

Hey orb: disassembly and reassembly of the Uni is actually easy. Just follow the sequence in service manual. But you need a small tool-set. Here, I could find it about 3$.

[ultravox]

You do know I can walk you through disassembly and reassembly sequence, right? Pulling the mainboard out and sending it to wherever you want can be done.

I'm counting with a service manual (wiki?) to do it, and I hope to have the right tools.

I don´t know how customs will handle the motherboard, but i think that they can't do much about it: old device, just a spare part, used one; they can't ask a lot for it. taking in account that the item will be returned and is going out just for a service, maybe there is some regulation about it.

Anybody knows out to legally deal with this?

[enigma1nz]

Not sure why everyone has such a problem with electronics postage. I regularly import and export electronic components, mobile phone parts and various assembly pieces and never once did I have a problem sending or receiving. If someone tells you they have a problem sending or there is a problem sending from their country - I take it they just don't want to send and are wasting your time. Most parts sent to me from Asia cost $5-$10 to send at most, some are free, even though the total of the item is $3. Make sure you package well and tick 'Gift' and customs duties will be avoided.

[tomal]

In my country, computer and related accessories are tax free.
So the one of the tricks could be declare it as "sample mainboard" for "pocket computer". :D
But I'm not sure whether this trick could apply practically. :rolleyes:

I'll soon do a pilot with 1-2 cases. It will help me to understand the whole process as well as difficulties.

I'm on travel at the moment so that it taking me some time to start.

duties/customs fees depend on the local (country) laws. generally, if the item to be sent is purposely for repair, no custom/duty tax will be imposed.

however, if the quantity to be sent for repair will cast doubt to the custom's evaluator/assessor, particularly involving items coming from one person or entity alone, it might be considered as importation, or export transaction, as the case maybe, then corresponding tax applies (lifeblood of the government :D:D). unless of course if it is very apparent that the items sent are not for such nature but apparently junk in itself, then, gen rule will apply. the exception to the latter case however is for those countries that prohibit or ban electronic waste to come in esp computer parts and the like (unfortunately, pdas MB included) .

nonetheless, if no local repair center available but abroad and the owner still insist to have his unit repaired (or memory upgrade for uni) despite the expenses involved, the most likely way to make it easier is to order your service requirement online, which i suggest based on experience. After confirmation of the service agreement, send the unit to the shipping/courier as advised by or with prior agreement with the service center to avail easier tracking and warranty (insurance might be required :mad:) and there will be great probability that the evaluator will no longer re-asses the item as dutiable since the information itself will show that it is intended sole for repair.

my 1 cent... :)

i forgot, in the Philippines, some do take advantage of the law on overseas workers' (OFW) privilege on customs exemption to a certain extent and quantity, electronics or otherwise, brand new or junk :D:D, as long as its in their "balikbayan" boxes. what a law... :D:D:D

[phezthie]

Most parts sent to me from Asia cost $5-$10 to send at most, some are free, even though the total of the item is $3. Make sure you package well and tick 'Gift' and customs duties will be avoided.

You do know I can walk you through disassembly and reassembly sequence, right? Pulling the mainboard out and sending it to wherever you want can be done.

Thanks you my dear! I will have this in mind:)

Hey orb: disassembly and reassembly of the Uni is actually easy. Just follow the sequence in service manual. But you need a small tool-set. Here, I could find it about 3$.

Thanks for your encouragement Tomal, with it and enigma1nz´s help
I shoud be ok! and I really want to do it myself!

I´ll be on vacations soon, so I willhave timie to do it.

Let you know.

Cheers both!

p.s: Can someone provide me a link to buy this small tool-set, preferent in USA please?

There is no special tool set, rather a set of specific screwdrivers, such as T5 and T6, Philips 000 and opening tool. If you look on eBay, tools like that are just a few bucks, I get sent tools free with every purchase of anything screen or parts related, no sense for you to buy something proper or expensive for a one-off jobie. Can send you some if you want, I have a collection by now, haha. PM me.

Worked for me every time. I have a friend in Portugal, sent a few things - never a problem.

[tomal]

"Gift" trick sometimes works in my country but it depends on the item declaration.
"Sample" trick works in most cases so I find it better.

Recently I learnt a tedious thing in export control: we cannot send any electronic material to Singapore (!) and those other countries for which the materials are traveling through that country! :eek: ALL these countries are black listed country!! :eek::eek:

[orb3000]

Wow, that´s bad

Hope there are no restrictions for México:rolleyes:
The problem I see on my case is that when the MB will return, Mexican customs are not the most trustable and eficient, so the posibility that your package get lost or damaged with them is high...

Perhaps I will do it when I´m in Holland for 45 days, I think it´s long enough to go and return right?

Please, please..?

Oh woops, anyone can send me

I'm trying out the 128mb version

i have to say it is the most stable wm6.5 i ever tried have just few problems

-browsers crashes most of the time when opening google.com tried on IE and skyfire

-can't set custom ring tone for a while it works for few times then get back to the default Ring-Dopod tone no matter how many times i change it

- the battery life isn't really satisfying

Regards

I must agree with you

- IE sometimes does not even open untill I do a soft reset (And checked I have enough free RAM space)
- Sometimes it plays default ringtone and sometimes it plays my SD located selected ringtone randomly
- Yeah, other ROM´s have a little best battery life, but I assume it´s the price to have 6.5:D

Other than that this ROM is fantastic!!

[ultravox]

Please, please..?

I thought you had it already. Sorry.

here it goes.

[choison]

hi Tomal, thank you for your rom,

[bnker]

Hi Tomal,Thanks a lot for this super fast rom.Every thing is working fine with 20 MB RAM available after reset.But a little annoying problem is there,just after resetting messaging application is starting automatically and also any time during opertating my JASJAR.Many times i need to close this application.Is there any solution? Thanks in advance.

[wimsop]

Hey Tomal, thanks a lot for this rom, really like the new layout!
The only thing I don't care for is the large size of the popup menus.
With the WM65 roms for Himylaya you could set the size with
Ht in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ GWE \ Menu \ PopFnt
and
WidgSz in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ GWE

The first one actually works and decreases the text size, but I am unable to reduce the size of the up and down scroll arrows at the bottom and top. Any workaround?

hi!

try start-settings-system-advanced config-user interface-vertical scroll arrow height. then choose your desired size. click done and reset device

hope it helps :)

[enigma1nz]

colorful and fun line that changes color on top of the screen - is there any way to remove it? TIA.

as in post 179
delete HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\BatteryMeter & reboot (or kill app)

Thanks, but that only seems to affect the look of "normal" scrollbars that appear at the side of the screen, not that of popup / context menus with too many entries that get up and down arrows.

it not seems net problem ,i tried tomal 8.9 rom and its ok. when i flash 9.0 and try to conect it looks good, data transfer ok, but when i leave it and return, connection drops. It never hold over overnight, never hold over 1 hour

[oqaab]

No such troubles with me. Do the Doc Format and reinstall Rom. You should try different Radio version too. See if that helps.

[heixx1]

Nice and very stable ROM. In post 1 lists the following applications:

Windows Live
WMWidgets/Weather applet
Titanium Application Launcher

I've installed the 128 RAM version but I didn't find them. Is there anything I should do?
Thanks,

I didn't find them either, so installed the Tomal WML separately from a .CAB. As for weather, couldn't get the Titanium to work properly, so gave up, mostly because I installed SPB MobileShell 3.0 and it comes with an excellent 5-day weather report - love it!

[crooner999]

Hi, I'm really grateful to have flashed my uni with your new 6.5 rom, however, here's a few problems that I'm facing :
1. the "start" button doesnt work sometimes
2. the "close button doesn't work.
3. The "lock" doesn't work in default mode.

everything else looks and feels great in this rom..the icons are nice and so are the software bundle you've preloaded it with. hopefully you'll soon release a version sans these bugs...

thanks in advance..

I think the problem was in the gui as when i switched to the classic visual style, the phone came to normal operations....

Hi Tomal

Long time no see you around!.
Do you have any plans to present any new ROM soon?

Cheers,

i have stupid question. How can i save number from unknown people? In older version i could, but now there is not choise.

[kasim050]

Hi,
Is there any registry edit to prevent switching on frequently my HTC universal? I have flashed with Tomal v9.0.

Regards,

[orb3000]

That awakening is because the memory RAM cleaner, try adjusting the period of running or disabling.

Ooops! Done! great. Thank you very much.:p

[MatleyOne]

now i testing this rom but i have a big problem, i need to use a TomTom 7.9...
it's request about 12mB of free ram, but in this rom dont run never after soft reset.
i like a titanium interface, it's very beautiful

[orb3000]

Let me qote our dear chef from 1st post:

"Just a simple note: disable the Titanium home and/or use a classic theme (from WM6) to have more memory available!"

[shingers5]

just playing with this phone and it defo needs the mem upgrade to really function well seriously. imagine this phone with 256 ram - my god would still blow away some of the new devices out there!

[orb3000]

Didn´t know you had an Uni, I can´t see it on your siggy.
Unfortunately Uni just can be upgraded to 128mb RAM, but is enough to run some apps not all...
Uni now it´s like a Mustang 64, it´s a classic! so if you are one of the lucky owners be prud of it!

And in some points still beats up new devices: example? you own a TP2 but Uni keyboard has no competence! :)

hi, i noticed when i flashed d rom, there is no battery meter in the top of taskbar. (i.e. the thin line above) how can i enable it? i cannot find the registry key....thanks

It´s not included on this ROM, but you can do a search in dev & hack section

[numlock]

I been using vistahide battery gauge
download file and place it in windows startup file and restart uni

[treboRr]

I noticed this too, however I realized I had changed on of the front buttons to launch it and unless I ensure I lock buttons, it will launch because it is easy to accidentally press the button when handling or while in my pocket!

Try choosing a different ring tone. The vibrate is sometimes different for different tones.
