Iolite WM6.1 (build 21055) WWE XDA_UC with Mega OEM (in progress)

---

update 23/10/2009 - current project state is in this post

original post:

I've build new ROM based on latest WM6.1 build and packages from HTC Mega

There were some problems with new HCT Album 3, Manila2d 2 and EzInput 2, and I didn't update them.
I use Manila 1.20 and Iolite versions of Album and EzInput.

All other packages are updated.

If someone needs this ROM, I will upload it.

Screenshots:

EzInput 2 will work if you replace the touch.dll in OEMDRIVERS with that from MEGA OEMDRIVERS folder
HTC Album will work if you replace the files ha_skin_l.xml and ha_skin_p.xml in .........\OEM\Iolite_MEGA\0409\ExtraFilesPkg with these from manila album package(in building these from the above folder which are for iolite's album version ovewrite these from mega)
And manila should work, what doesn't work in your build?

dancer_69: What did you mean by replacing files for HTCAlbum3? I have to overwrite _ha_skin_l.xml and _ha_skin_p.xml in OEM\Iolite\0409\ExtraFilesPkg with ha_skin_l.xml and ha_skin_p.xml from MEGA package?

Yes.
In this folder are these 2 xml files from Iolite's album version. When you build the rom, some how these files overwrite these in mega's album package folder. So the rom have the old version of these files and for this the album doesn' t function right.
So, you need to replace them with the newer version.

Hi, Server222,
Please upload a ROM if you have some satisfied one.
BTW, did you make Footprint work with M2D. Footprint is the spirit of Polite, we should not leave it.
Thanks.

Sorry, but there were problems with g-light and I reverted my ROM to Iolite packages.

Another problem was - YouTube search button is inactive (maybe because this is beta).

EzInput 2 works, but I cannot choose other keyboards. There is workaround on this forum, but it still has some disadvantages.

I don't like HTC Menu as it cannot be configured to exclude some apps. (I use Finger menu).

I just can say - almost all MEGA packages released by Da_G works not only with wm6.5 but with w6.1 (build 21054)

The main hack you should do - do not include PACKAGE_MEGA_HTCScroll, it depends on wm6.5.
Add HTCScroll.dll and HTCScroll2.dll to your ROM (search this thread more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=scroll, for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=241)

I don't want use unstable/beta software in my ROM.
(but I can help with setting up Ervius kitchen for such ROM, if someone wants to try this).

I have exactly the same opinion. I was playing with Mega packages on WM6.1 for almost three weeks, but it brings more problems that benefits. And until oficial WM6.5 is released, I will not cook WM6.5 ROM for Iolite.

In contrast, I am focusing on optimalization of last Iolite official ROM. This means removing all unneeded stuff from OEM, SYS and EXT including file editing.

That´s absolutely right! My opinion too! I find a good working old app better as a glitching new app.

Greetings!

Hi.

I'm tired with 6.5, can you please upload a fast 6.1 image? I could also use the office package, I sometimes use mobile excel.

Thanks!

Just want to test it more.
