Important Note:

Since Feb 12th I'm serving in the army (one-year mandatory service). Although I'm not able to work on the ROM from there, I read the forum almost every day. I'll support my ROM on every change I get. I also plan on releasing a kitchen in the near future (possibly at the end of March), so that you'll be able to cook your own custom ROMs.

Please do not ask for a Vanilla ROM. You'll be able to make one yourself when the kitchen is released!

Many thanks to:

vjgrace and EA for implementing a lot of registry tweaks
GnatGoSplat for the new XIP
DSF, karhoe, Sefy, kartam, kkrull, illi, sonus and many more people for their ideas, hints, suggestions, bug fixes, etc.
Shark, Andot, DukeStix, and Phil (jm012a9749) for their original work on WM6 for the Tornado
Dr. Gonzo for some nice oem packages taken from his Vox ROM.
Everyone of you who have made a donation

Me being the very first to use, saying this new rom rules! lots of new tools in it! and works REALLY fast! i'll report more after 24 hours (i'm reinstalling all of the programs i use

) but for now it's working perfect!

Remember my Sounds issue? well, although after flashing it was ok, seems like one of the installations is causing it to happen again. Now these are installations i've done on every rom so far, yet it's happening again even after i've done format binfs so can't blame it on that one!

melgurth · Feb 3, 2008

Perfect! Well done mate. Really big step ahead.

What now?

WM 6.1 appear on horizont - do You take a challange??

maymaymay · Feb 3, 2008

Excellent release !

glennza · Feb 3, 2008

Excellent!!! Am looking forward to trying this.

Thanks for all your hard work.

karhoe · Feb 3, 2008

Great job! I will update my guide with your ROM

superhiperclim · Feb 3, 2008

I am just starting here, so, if you can please help me...
I have a question for you, does this windows mobile work in any last generation smartphone?
I`m using a Treo 750, but it as wm5 spanish, and i would like to put wm6 eng...
can it be done?

Sefy · Feb 3, 2008

I MAY have found the bug causing my "Sounds" to stop working! it's not with an installation! it's one of the tweaks in the registry which the phone is enabling! as soon as i track it down, i'll post which one and i'd recommend it's removal!

UPDATE! I found the bad Tweak!
Do NOT change the location of the Volatile folder! i strongly suggest REMOVING that option!

nav1 · Feb 3, 2008

This rom is great! Thank you!

In my tests on the pre-release ROM I did not face the problem with Sounds that you faced. In fact I point the Volatile folder to SD card but did not delete it from main memory. I have been doing this with other previous ROMs too. It helps when sending emails with large attachments. I noticed this and a number of temp files are in fact in the \Storage Card\Volatile folder.

However during my testing at one stage I lost the sound. It was not as loud as usual. I tinkled with the Bluetooth A2DP and managed to regain the loudness. Seems strange to me.

Still with the pre-release ROM, i am faced with the two soft keys freezing.

Will try the final release in a while.

FYI I also point the UACONTENTS and Messaging
to SD Card without problems. This is for the MMS and SMS files respectively.

Thanks
illi

Windows Media Player

Did no one in beta testing or even now find a problem with WMP not playing *any* video? I can play the files just fine with TCPMP.

illi · Feb 3, 2008

Thank You & Good Luck!

Hi NiTrogenious

Thank you and thank you again. This is one great home-brewed ROM.

Wish you good luck in the army.

Take care.

Thank you so much for your work. I really enjoy to use my Torndao again!!

bestever · Feb 3, 2008

havent test it but ihope its like the guys are sayng and im hoping thats the rom kitchen get finished fast

Sefy · Feb 3, 2008

@illi, i'm only reporting the experience i had, i kept thinking one of my installation cause the "Sounds" to not work. Only after i restored the Volatile tweak back to it's place, they worked again.

When i put "Sounds" i'm talking about the Ringtones selection settings, when i've pointed the Volatile to my SD card (also, did not remove the original) then none of them would play and i get the error "corrupt or unavailable" even though the files were playable and available using any other player including wmp itself.

I've just given my personal experience, after flashing twice because this error.

@Sefy
Quite strange. Our experiences differ. I thought my experience will help you. Hope this new release dont have too much issue.
I am flashing the ROM now.

Shall report accordingly.

Thanks Sefy

Sefy · Feb 3, 2008

@illi, what i report is from this release as well, as soon as i've used to tweak to move the Volatile to my Storage Card then none of the ringtones would play. As soon as i restored it to the original place, it started working again

ciccio83a · Feb 3, 2008

Nice Rom :d

Did you create the directory on the Storage Card? The temp dir should exist, it is not autocreated!

I hope not many issues will be appeared. Thank you all for testing. And of course, any donation would be appreciated.

PS. This is my last post before my departure... Goodbye, guys!

Unable to play mid files

The ROM is great and thanks Nitro for the Hard work. However, I am having an issue
setting mid files as ringtone. When I select it, it says as "Corrupt or Not Available". I tried moving the mid files to storage card but still no luck. Is any one able to set mid files as ringtone.
