Setting your keyboard layout :

Known problems :

• SDcard encryption doesn't work..
• "I don't know wether this is a bug in your ROM or a WM6.1 bug in genral, but once you setup Windows Live from the Sliding Panel Windows Live Plugin, it is impossible to disconnect from GPRS/Edge without doing a Reboot of the phone, because as son as you disconnect using Commanager it reconnects again." RolandH (apparently not a bug, just sign out from windows live)
• Windows Live sliding panel always shows 0 conversations
• Sometimes when sending an sms in threaded sms view, the last characters stay in the writing box. Doesn't seem to appear with all characters and seem to appear only when the last characters are doubled. For exemple if I write "!!!" at the end of the message, "!" get sent and "!!" stays in the writing box...

Things I'd like to find :

• How to make the My Pictures panel in the new homescreen to look for pictures in other folders. Any idea ? Apparently we need to hex edit cmhome.dll for that

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Please test it to death.

I'll try to update the Known Problems Section whenever a new problem is discovered.
Also don't forget to read the Things I'd like to find section if you can contribute.

And if someone wants to make a better looking default theme I'd be glad to include it

I'll take no request to add/delete apps. Only bug fixing

This is going to be the best ever ROM for VOX....
I am downloading it . Will test & provide feedback..

Thanks to Dr Gonzo for his hard work...

[Rolandh]

Downloading now, just done a backup of my contacts, call list, and SMS ready to Flash when it's downloaded.
Will help you out by giving a bug report as I play with it and use it.
Thank's for your hard work in getting us Vox users WM6.1.

Roland

[tho]

Thanks for your hard work! Amazing!! (Again :-))

[Bunecarera]

Also going to test it, but it will has to wait 'till later tonight.

Btw, Gonzo, If you ever need any help translating French to English or maybe Dutch, let me know. I'm Belgian so I speak everything

And also, if any homescreen builders are listening.
A Perfect homescreen would be:
The Win6.1 sliding panel with an extra panel for Tasks (Not taskmanager, just tasks) build in the same manner as the calender, perhaps with Oxios task plugin?
And also one for the Weather, with multiple cities.
And a smartmonitor plugin inside the panel for profile and taskmanager.
And without mms. Textmessages and Email is enough...

Way to go Dr. Gonzo! You're da' man!

[Rolandh]

Flashing now, will be tomorrow at the earliest that I will be able to report any bugs, as I have got to go to work later this afternoon, and maybe going out with Fiancee when I finesh work.

I saw you were reading the Visual Rom studio thread. That's a very cool project. I saw he released a test version today but unfortunately it can't open Vox roms it seems. Not only my roms but official htc ones too.

I found out that you had released the .nbh OS image with the RUU aswell when I decompressed the .rar archive. I know it can not. I've had a look at the Kitchen that you created for your New Guava WM6 ROM and compared to Visual ROM Studio it is very complicated for a Newbie to ROM cooking.
Loving this New release can not wait to give it a full workout.
