[REPORT ISSUES] WMXL "XDA Live" Edition (v0.10)

[kyphur]

Report Issues Here:
Windows Mobile "XDA Live"
for HTC Hermes

I have applied my XDA Live Scripts to the "Vanilla" edition of Windows Mobile 6 for Hermes.

So I present you with Version 0.10 of XDA Live!

Click here for Images of all the Themes I have collected. I've decided that instead of embedding them all, I will remove all but the default Crossbow Theme and add the Aero Theme.

The rest of the collection will be made available via my website this week.

I have integrated the following Applications:

• Dictionary Editor
• HTweakC v2.1
• MS Hearts for PPC
• PHM Registry Editor
• SMS Backup
• StartClean
• VJCandelaLite (Flashlight)
• Windows Mobile Remote Display (CERDISP)

Fixes Specific to using "Vanilla" Base Rom

• Office Mobile Folder and shortcuts are restored
  
• Remote Desktop Mobile has been embedded

I have integrated the following Registry Fixes:

• By default only the Date Plugin is enabled (and it is set to a single line).
• The Today Screen says "XDA Live" and the about screen shows " - XDA" after the OS Build Number.
• Pressing & Holding the Comm Button toggles the between Vibrate & Normal.
• PDAViet Memory Leak Fix is Applied.
• Disabled the warning for Unsigned Applications (Application Lock)

Misc:

• I have added two "Classic RingTones, (OldPhone-US.wma and OldPhone-UK.wav) for those of us who want to get away from the music and chirping Ringers.
• I have removed all carrier customizations, no need to soft reset to avoid customization!

Please let's keep this thread clean. This will aide in getting things fixed/added as quickly as possible.

If you just want to chatter go to one of the two other threads for this Rom (see the end of the FAQ a few posts down). I will leave only one thread sticky but it will always contain links to all "Official" Thread for the Rom.

Known Issues:

• Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is broken.
• Keyboard Backlight Sensor turned off by default.
• Turn Off Wi-Fi link is missing from "Connections Bubble".
• WiFi enabled on Boot (WiFi Init) is missing.

The following are missing:

• ClearVue PDF Viewer.
• Cyberon Voice Dialer.
• Internet Calling (VOIP).
• MSN. (Note this is replaced my MS Live! and wil not be grafted into this Rom)
• Note Recorder (including ability to press & Hold to record).
• Video Call.
• Push To Talk.
• SetHSDPA.exe
• Add 8525 Keyboard Fix Cab into Rom. (you must install it but it will be there for you now)
• Smart Dialer.
• Microsoft Live! Mobile. (until there is a real release I will consider installing from the desktop as the fix for this, once there is an official release of WLM or A WM6 Rom that includes it this will become embedded)
• Windows Mobile Update.

The WMXL Team is working hard to get these integrated into the Rom.

Items in GREEN are finished for the next release. I would like to time 0.x dot releases at least 1 week apart so expect WMXL v0.20 on March 5th (2007 of course) which will include all verified fixes as of March 3rd.

Click Here For Zip File Containing the following updates:

Button 5 Press & Hold to Record
Enable HSDPA
8525 Keyboard Fix
WiFi Init on Boot

WM XDA Live v0.10

[kyphur]

Q: How do I install it.
A: The self extracting archive will run the RUU after it extracts all files. I used The XDA RUU which was modified to push the Des Bootloader to your device. This Installer does not require your device to be SuperCID and should work with all bootloader versions. This installer only has a HTC Splash Screen and the OS, No radio or Ext_ROM.

Q: Will WMXL (Windows Mobile XDA Live) fix my corrupted radio bootloader or otherwise bricked Hermes?
A: If the other tools here can't do it then don't bet the farm on WMXL doing it. The Flashing tools are still the same, no magic pill here.

Q: Kyphur you are such a Guru, how can I be like you?
A: Remember that my head is in the clouds on this one only because I'm standing on the shoulders' of giants. This project owes it's very existence to many other contributers here and they deserve as much if not more of the cudos than I do. The is a team effort, please support everyone who made this possible. (See my post here). I have been a member her for only 15 months give or take but I have spent more time reading than doing or posting.

Q: Can you release Cab file updates instead of cooking new Roms to flash?
A: I will do both. For example coming soon with be WMXL Update Cabs for Internet Calling, Video Calling, SetHSDPA and Windows Live! Mobile (for example). These will all be embedded into WMXL v0.2. I'm doing this to save you from having to flash you device as often as I am. Remember the Cab files will consume Program Memory whereas the new Rom releases will not.

Q: If you embed a program into the Rom how can I remove it (to save memory).
A: You can't remove file that are in the Rom. You can remove the Shortcuts to the programs. Again I will repeat that programs in the Rom do not consume any memory. If you don't want the program simply ignore it and it will not harm you.
Q: Will you still release the scripts?
A: Of course, I have spent the evening building and testing this Rom for Release. Expect this to delay the release of the How-To but it is still coming.

Q: Will you still release a version based on the original Rom (from your unnamed source).
A: Sort of. There will be a release either based on the Original Base Rom (Rom-X) or an Official Released Carrier Rom. This is why I used scripts to make the Mods to the Rom file, I had a working Rom on the Vanilla Base 20 minutes after I downloaded it. I spent most of last night making sure it was stable before releasing.

Q: Why do my recent programs keep disappearing on every reset?
A: That is StartClean. If you don't want this then simply delete the shortcut from your Startup Folder.

Q: I have more questions...
A:The Original Discussion Thread, The Original Release Thread.

This Rom really is a group effort.

• Without pof & team unlocking I never would have even gone looking for the base Rom.
• aChef by aklok_hk is doing the heavy lifting.
• Sleuth255, ShogunMark, Faria ViJay555, Bepe, Maimach have all been instrumental either directly or indirectly in this project.
• Des and the SSPL was another step that got me to this point.
• Olipro's RUU Workshop was used to make the installer package.
• Of course there are all of the guys who have been doing this before I bought my first PPC Phone, they blazed the trail I simply walk behind them.
• Finally, I can't forget my unnamed source. They took a big change passing this along to me. Even though this relase is built on the Vanilla Rom, without that trust I wouldn't have been able to spend that previous week cooking with a WM6 Rom Image.

If I missed someone I apologize, just PM me and I'll update the list.

No, No, No...

Don't put posts like this here!!!! Use the other two threads for that.

Please only post issues that need to be investigated/fixed here.

(Yes someone, a senior member no less, really did post that)

Have you unchecked "Enable Advanced Networking" in the USB to PC applet on the Connections Settings Page?

I don't use WM5toage but can check it out tonight.

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to get this running on the new ROM? Tried v2.1.2.21 and v2.1.2.52, but netiher will sync. Both see network, bbriefly create a tunnel and then disconnect.

Anyone got a similair experience - or better still offer a tip?

Thanks in advance

We need to keep an eye on the Connection Icons, only report if you have this problem, please include hardware and carrier.

Please explain the Keyboard Backlight Fix.
