THIS ROM IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED AND FUTURE BLACK ROMS WILL NOT BE RELEASED PUBLIC ON XDA_DEV. READ FROM POST 3 to REALISE WHY!

One thing noobs that have migrated from HOFO must realise - YOU CANNOT HAVE YOU CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!

Windows Mobile VI Pro – Black Edition 2.0
......................................from late night BOOTY CALLS to late night ROM Development

Only 10 hours sleep in the last week!

A BIG thanks goes to: walshieau (my late night ***** who can’t hold his drink), shogunmark, lollypop, ahlok_hk, pof, tripledes, mousey, oli, dutty, LegolasTheElf + the many testers !!!!


BETA’s are a thing of the past – Welcome to the REAL Dark Side of the World!
Build: 17740.0.2.0
AKU: 0.2.0
CE: 5.2.968
HEX EDITED ABOVE TO: CE 5.1.195 (17740.2.3.0) to enable Goodlink and BBconnect compatibility


So what is Black 2.0?
1. Firstly, Newest MOFO Build Available!
2. Windows Mobile Live (syncs also via WiFi)
3. New HTC Boot Splash
4. New WM VI Black Boot Screen
5. VOIP enabled
6. Removed Windows Customer Experience Annoyance (this piece of crap wasted ROM space, program memory, cluttered the registry and was also in the notification list – mofo!)
7. NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH SPB software as it’s a new Build
8. Removed Transcriber (we got a keyboard, so who needs this, but its in a cab if you do)
9. TaskMan + RegEdit, HTweakC, Softkey Manager, SMS Backup, and VJ utils still remain
10. Registry Hacks from v1.2 remain
11. Removed Windows Update
12. Removed MagicSS Screen capture due to popular demand.
13. 3G Video Dialer (enabled and disabled through HTweakC dialer skin option)
14. Default Pagepool of 6MB

See
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1180792&postcount=1 for differences compared to v.12.


Optional Applications for 2.0 (attached to this post)
1. WM VI Black Cyberon Voice Dial
2. WM VI Black Cyberon Voice Commander (taken from Dopod ROM) - this is similar to MS Voice Command except that it also reads emails
3. WM VI Black Pocket IE Card Cache
4. WM VI Black Transcriber
5. WM VI Black REMOVE CUSTOMER FEEDBACK ICON patch
----------------------------------------------------
To install, run the (.exe).

This is an OS ONLY upgrade, IPL/SPL/EXTROM/RADIO is not included.

Disclaimer: NO warranties! LETS keep this thread clean and only post messages regarding Black 2.0.

Dont know what you are doing? The see MRVANX upgrading guide
----------------------------------------------------
SICK OF READING, then DOWNLOAD ALREADY!!! (please mirror)

MAKE SURE YOUR WINDOWS XP MACHINE HAS .NET 2 FRAMEWORK INSTALLED. if not, download it from Microsoft and install it first before ROM Upgrade.


Don’t be afraid to make donations, they will be well spent on buying HARD LIQUOR and GETTING ****FACED (maybe get the wife some shoes too :) )

A: Regedit \HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 from windows/lsk/htccalendar.exe to windows/calendar.exe

Q: I have Olipro's latest HardSPL but get an error during install "please be aware the flasher is intended solely for SPL 1.11 only and you must have 1.11 hard-SPL installed in order to flash any unsigned file"
A: Continue through this warning.

Q: How can i fix the new SMS softkey error?
A: exctact the exe from the zip file posted on page 26 #253 and copy it to the windows folder.

Q: I can no longer use Bluetooth DUN in this rom.
