Welcome to the 3VOLUTION SERIES SmartPhone ROM Kitchen!

** Note: I have officially discontinued development on this ROM due to the age of the device and time constraints with other projects. Many good ROMS have been built and I appreciate the support from all my followers. I will continue some minor dev on the newer devices such as the HTC Maple (Dash 3G), etc. Cheers!

3VOLUTION SERIES of Smartphone ROMS will give all new life to our older devices. Outside of the smooth aesthetics, I Kept stability, scalability, flexibility, and speed in mind throughout the cooking process so you will not be disapointed!

3VO Tweaks and Updates

New 3VOLUTION Titanium layout for 3VO.2.80.092509!! See screenshots below.

I built this layout to accomodate for the limited vertical screen size on the Excalibur. Any suggestions or changes appreciated! Hope you guys like!

Thanks to all for bug testing! Thanks to all who have donated!

Tweaks and updates:

"3VO Original CHome Panels.cab" for those who want the OLD classic sliding panels. Keep inmind that the Titanium Home Screen Layout will NO LONGER WORK until you uninstall Original CHome Panels. (NOT REQUIRED ON 2.50)
"3VO Transparent Grey Panels.cab" for grey Titanium panels
"3VO Glowing Blue Panels.cab" for glowing blue Titanium panels
"3VO Glossy Beveled Bars.cab" for those who do not like the flat black taskbar and softkey bar (NOT REQUIRED ON 2.50)
"3VO HTC Sliding Panels 2.5.zip" brings back the look and feel of WM 6.1 and the SNAP. Includes HTC Weather! Keep inmind that the Titanium Home Screen Layout will still work in 2.50 when you use Titanium Toggler in Tools .
"3VO Original Start Menu Icons.cab" replaces most of your start menu icons with original style WM 6.1 icons. This app is not removable so backup your \Windows\Start Menu folder if desired.
"3VO 2.50 XT9 Patch.cab" adds French language support as well as enables the contact "autocomplete" feature for contact search.
"3VO 2.50 WiFi Patch.cab" is only for those experiencing trouble with WiFi powering on. No need to run patch if you are not experiencing WiFi power on issues. For 2.50 ONLY!!
"3VO.2.50 Battery Patch.cab" help solve fast battery drain that some users are experiencing. Only use this patch if you are having a problem with battery as not all users are. For 2.50 ONLY!!
"3VO.2.80.Patch.1.1.cab" fixes certain issues in 2.80 including removing inactive shortcuts and adding Calling Card calling. For 2.80 ONLY!!

These were all tested ONLY on my 3VO ROMS. There is no guarantee that they will work on other phones and ROMS.

Cabs below...

New 3VOLUTION series ROMS! I cooked up these ROMS based on the Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard Developer Tool Kit MS released the other day. The SYS is pretty different so I could only use some of the HTC SNAP OEM packages. Using SYS and XIP 21234 Standard. The new 3VOLUTION series of Smartphone ROMS will give all new life to our older devices. Give it a run and please report any bugs found.

hope you could cook one of these roms for the vox!..

skaroger867 · Jun 8, 2009

downloaded, will load on extra dash tonight and give it a run. will post any bugs.

thanks for the new rom

skyler17 · Jun 8, 2009

6.5.....woo hoo!

wow, awesome I can't wait to try it out.
I will post my impressions once I do

Bugs to report

Wi-Fi will not turn on/off in comm manager.
when going to settings-->connections-->USB to PC i get error: the control panel document pcconnection.cpl.xml cannot be loaded.

on a side note...... can we still not run OMAP clock keep so we dont have to overclock on every reboot?

and yes i do like this very much.

skaroger867 · Jun 8, 2009

first impression is i like the new htc logo animation and the first slapsh. rom seems to be responsive. also on mine it loads the sms/mms when i start, is that just me or anyone else.

i can confirm that omap does not stay after restart, the wifi not turning on/off in comm manager, and the pcconnection.cpl.xml error.

Tritan88 · Jun 8, 2009

I look forward to trying this once media share lets me download it.

Thanks. Yes, I have confirmed a few bugs so far:

* WiFi has problems, so does BT. I have to updatethe BT drivers. It is the same WifiInit.exe problem seen in other ROMS
* tmail.exe does start on startup. In WM6.5, it is integrated closely with the OS so it is set to start automatically. I will see if I can disable that.
* New IE is a little slow but usable
* Clear storage worked for me on my test phone
* edit: Will fix OMAPClockKeep.exe

Differences right now between WM6.1 and WM6.5 are minimal as it's a DEV kit and it has no fancy visual effects or any new panels, etc. However, this puts the platform on an actual device and adds the foundation for all WM6.5 features for developers to start tweaking!

skaroger867 · Jun 8, 2009

when i had my viva i noticed the the sms/mms would load on boot with it too.

look forward to see where 6.5 goes for smartphone and to try new updates

stylez · Jun 8, 2009

Yep happened on early 6.5 PPC releases but if mem correct it was a REG that fixed it.

lolcats · Jun 8, 2009

so...what're the benefits to 6.5 compared to 6.1?

pudgedaddy · Jun 8, 2009

yea i looked for an entry that pointed to tmail.exe i found one that looked like it would fix it, but alas.. i was wrong

pudgedaddy · Jun 8, 2009

more bugs

also neither topbar homescreen you have installed loads correctly. i get the cclock panel and an error on the next panel and thats it for the siding media topbar and for the HTC home topbar the homepage doesnt load at all
