WIZARD ONLY

Hello there,

I've been working on this ROM for some time, and today I give you the final ROM.

I've been trying out WM6 ROM's, since Faria's to Zoki's wonderfull work on Touched version of WM6. But WM6 is kinda slow, IMHO. Yes, we can overclock Wizard so that it can be faster... but that makes battery drain even faster too. So I started wondering, if I could take WM5 and give it what we can have in WM6.

I've taken the Official T-Mobile latest WM5 OS 3.8.2.1 apart and made a lot of improvements to it. So, go ahead and tell me what you think ;)

ROM stats:
Storage Total: 42.55MB | Free: 32.34MB
Program Total: 50.03MB | Free: 29.24MB

DISCLAMER:
Rev 5 is supposed to be clean, meaning no extras or very few. I've put that logo on the bootscreen because I've managed to get the ringtones from it and wanted to give it its credits. It was never intended to simulate it! If it was, I would have made a facejob on it, just like WM6 is.

I didn't include the HTC Home Screen because it gave problems and I didn't want anyone to be complaining about weather not working. The CUBE also is not included, didn't make any sense putting it in without the HTC Home Plugin. The ROM is intended for those who would like to give it any appearance they want, meaning reorganizing the home plugins on every order, setting the clock to 12h or 24h. The TodayAgenda enables you to have much more than the standard calendar plugin. The QuickDial also makes it easy to call someone, and the QuickLauncher is configured so that you can access quickly and easily to the most used functionalities of the ROM.

I didn't want a ROM that gave me problems, is fast and also in most part, updated and cleaned up from old apps. If you guys want the HTC Touch feel, you can use the Rev 4.

Its your choice, not mine. That said, enjoy your Wizard as much as I am right now.

Morphdesign has made a repository with every WM5SE version that was released. Remember, there are some that have some problems, otherwise the ROM wouldn't need to be updated.

Special thanks go to everyone that tried and helped me debug all other Rev's of WM5SE, meaning YOU too :D

ENJOY YOUR WIZARD!

FAQ's:
- How to change the QuickLauncher applications?
Code:
To change the applications on the quicklauncher, you'll need to edit the skin file of it:
\Windows\ql_skin_l.xml and \Windows\ql_skin_p.xml
the L is for landscape, the P is for portraid.
You edit it right from your PDA, using File Explorer i've included. Its already patched so that you can hold the file, send -> Notepad :)

Edit, save, restart the plugin and there you go. You'll find it more difficult to change the icons tho... they need to be masked:
ql_xxx.bmp - colored icon with white background
ql_xxx_mask.bmp - black background, being the location where the icon is going to appear white.
The black on the mask file will turn transparent.

- "I hit the HTC Action Screen and now I can't get it to close!"
Code:
Wait 3 seconds, it will close by itself :)

- Problems hitting OK/X button?
Code:
FIXED: [URL="http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66677&d=1200851779"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66677&d=1200851779[/URL]
I know there's an issue on clicking the OK/X button, but you can easilly fix that 
by playing a bit with the screen align. I hit the + on the middle except the 
last one (top right) that you need to put the stylus about 2mm below the center. 
See if that works for you!
OR
Take advantage of the SmartsKeys already built-in. Press and hold the right softkey.

- How do I change the PagePool for this ROM?
Code:
Use the allmighty mestrini tool: Wizard Service Tool
Here: [url]http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329170[/url]
OR another method - don't know if it works... I've only tested Wizard Service Tool.

- How to remove "Network Wizard" notification/My country isn't listed on Network Wizard and I don't need it ?
Code:
- Cancel the automatic settings
- Go to Settings->Connections and click on Network Wizard
- Click on Menu (right soft button)
- Remove "Auto Detect Network"

Issues:
- Setting Ringtones from file explorer...
Code:
- Since I have replaced standard file browser for GSFinder+, that option is not available no more... I'll look into making it possible on rev 6.
- The X-Button, again is not working properly... instead of saving your changes, it is just closing the apps. You can use the right softkey and hold it and it will close and save your changes.

While I don't update the ROM, if you want to add another ringtone, you can copy it to the root of your storage card or put it in \Windows\Rings and it will appear on the ringtone selection list.

! C:\Documents and Settings\Mick\My Documents\WM5SE_rev5.rar: Unexpected end of archive

Thank you brother!!

realy not understand the boot screen? ver.4 come with excellents boot screen..

Ver4. come with HTC Home and work perfect. ver5 samsung clock dont replace the Htc home in ver.4

Any change to update the cyberion voice speed dial. ver5 come with old version of speed dial.

ver4 come with htc task manager 2.0 and work perfect, ver5 come with old 1.51

All other thing are excellent, good work but I prefer the ver4.

hate to say it but its a bit of a dissapointment. was hoping for a better version of rev4, instead of a completely new one. the homescreen aint half bad, prefer HTC's though. like the additonal themes, x-button is nice, would love to see a rev4 version.

but seriously, i agree with why entitle it android? lucky google aint aol, they'd sue your ass for that =x

edit: X button on camera doesnt seem to be working. probably just me but..thought id voice it anyway

I like it, I like it alot.
I love having enough space to fill it with what I want( I understood this to be the reason for rev5).
It appears much faster than rev4.
Don't like X button I have to push the stylus under the casing at the top of the screen before it works and I also can't close camera.
I don't mind the name.:rolleyes:
I've looked into this rom cooking business and at the moment it's too much for me so I appreciate the hard work and would like to say thanks for all 5 versions and the choice to pick what's right for me.
