Well If you enterd this thread, You probley figured out that we have a 6.1 T-mobile edition rom thanks to ND4SPD. How ever at the moment it is limited to a small group to test. At the same time I hate using the PM system when multiple ppl are testing anything. So I made a thread were WE (the TESTERS) can discuss and post fixes for this rom so we can get it released to you (THE PUBLIC) soon. I ask please, PLEASE, Do Not Post in this thread UNLESS you actually recieved the test rom from nd4spd. When a nonsence post is posted it makes it harder for us to concentrate on working on the rom when we are answering your questions.

#1 Question to be posted in this thread is...
Q. WHEN IS THIS ROM GONNA BE OUT ????????
A. AFTER WE FIX BUGS AND ND4SPD FEELS ITS READY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


##############################

On to the post.

What I have found so far..


1. HOME Messages Tab crashes NEO when enabled.

Installing my cab of 4.0 Arcsoft mms did not help this problem.

2. HOME My Faves App does not work, but My Faves settings will run.

I have not tryed to fix this.

3. HOME Notification Tab does not open the text its notifing you of nor does it dismiss the text by pressing dismiss

I have not tried to fix this

4. HOME Wap Shortcuts cannot find winwap or one of its components.

I think adding regisrty values for clinks instead of using the guid will fix this.

5. HOME Settings tab doesnt include battery display

Figured out why but dont have a fix. Im missing HKCR

6. Start Menu Recent Programs includes 2 shortcuts that do not work (Instant Messaging.lnk and Task Manager)

In conveinence untill you open 9 programs to get these off recent programs. These programs work when using the shortcuts in "all programs"

7. PIE Favorites & History when clicked open file explorer. instead of drop down menu.

I havnt looked into this. How ever ive had the problem before and its usually the html file being used.

8. WAP BROWSER says my homepage is unavalible (but the default t-mobile rom told me this as well)

I dont know if this is just my phone, Feedback needed.

9. UNLOCK SCREEN still does not show clock and date when set to

Seems like we are going to have alot of fun with this one.

10. HOME Getting Started is not displayed.

Simple menu added to the registry for neo will fix this.

11. PHONE Can not initiate call by dialing number and hitting send key. (have to hit center button on D-Pad)

I have no clue were to start looking on this one.

12. MMS Does not work

SMS Works fine.

I have not tested WIFI or BLUETOOTH

ND4SPD said neo is looking for arcsoft 4 but arcsoft 5 is on this rom wich is why the message tab isnt on the neo homescreen.

The battery in the settings tab is not showing up due to the ID in the registry {634CA962-22D8-4671-BBC7-BAC47148A4B6}, When its switched to the wifi ID wifi status shows up on line 2 but the battery is displayed in the settings tab and opens power.exe when clicked. But when switched back to {634CA962-22D8-4671-BBC7-BAC47148A4B6} the battery display dissapears.

The html coding is causing the favorites and history drop downs from displaying correctly. This reg edit will fix this issue simply by using the default windows mobile homepage. wich is the same page but not skinned by t-mobile

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
"version_0409"="file://\\windows\\default_0409.htm"
"home_0409"="file://\\windows\\default_0409.htm"
"blank"="res://webview.dll/blank.htm"

shadowmike one of the biggest problems I am having is it locks up on the home page and did you nodes win going in to
internet explorer and hitting favorites or history it brings you to the windows folder

I think there are two ways of solving the problems:

The Easy Way:
Just use the wm6 OEM files and use all wm6.1 SYS files except CHome and ConfettiCore
This will get a working rom quickly but the problems we have now will still be there if we try making separate organized packages for each software.

The Hard Way:
Fix all these bugs one by one until assured to work and only then post a public rom. This means that the rom will take a longer time to release.

I prefer the hard way, but am open to the easy solution. What do you guys think.

btw, thanks shadowmike for making this thread. PM'ing was pretty tedious

Explain lockup ? as in freeze. And how do you get it to freeze ? Are you switching home screens and when you try to get to homescreen you cant ? what apps are you running on the rom ?

and #7

it just freezes by scrolling down it .well as there is so many bugs I am running no apps and by lockup I mean the home screen freezes so you can't scroll it but you can go to start and to other app but the home screen stays locked till reboot are you having the same problem if not I will try to redownload it and reinstall it... nd4spd did you work the bugs out of the new way of installing from the T-Mobile rom if so I will give it a go and I would like to see a stabile T-Mobile wm6.1 rom with out neo first thin work on this but you are the cook not to say I would use it I like the clean wm6.1 I have......i would like to see UC (user customizable) 2.0 Capable in the clean rom

I have not had your "Freeze", however since the shadow is underpowered. when i switch homescreens if i dont hit end call or the home button before it starts to load the homescreen i have to restart. however this also happend in the official t-mobile rom.

Small bug I noticed is when you set your calendar view to default to month (say), it still only opens to agenda view.
Not quite sure what received from nd4spd means but with a few hacks this is a great rom.

It means he pm'ed a few ppl a link to a new 6.1 t-mobile NEO homescreen rom.

From what he told me it was not publicly released... so if he did not send you the link to this rom and you have it. somone leaked it... thats what it means. basicly. I dont want ppl that dont have this test rom to come in this thread and ask questions and make this thread 10 pages.

How is the process going Guys.

well i decided to come back and work on this again.

im currently installing the rom. simply because i want to use the portrait camera. and since it works flawlessly in this version. yeah.
