Also have T-mobile dash (friends) will 6.1 WM rom work?
Will the tmobile animations still be there after the dash rom install or will it look identical to the HTC?
thanks.
it'll look completely like an HTC...no start-up sounds...no MyFaves program (though if you have myfaves it'll still be active you just have to edit it from the T-mobile website or you can find a cab install of the myfaves program on this forum somewhere...and no OZ IM...u can download that as well.
Ok..as mentioned in the post above, You need to remember one thing about "cooked ROMS".
They DO NOT support any or one Cell phone provider.
That said, EVERYTHING that is linked to a provider, in your case T-Mobile, will be DELETED for good.
there will be nothing tmobile about that phone except the sticker on it and the service..you wont have any of their apps, you wont see the myfavs crap (you can add something similar to it)....but it will be a whole lot better without all that bloatware =)
Thanks for the confirmation. I'm going to flash this later on today and just wanted to check if it was compatible, and it is. Appreciate the info!
I'm trying to find a hack for PIE in WM 6.5 to see Picture Mail in the old format instead of the newer one. I have a cab that allows me to do it in WM6.1. But I was wondering if anyone figured out how to do in WM6.5. This is just one of my gripes with 6.5 is that I can't see a picture mail in IE without going through the slideshow. If anyone has a solution please let me know. I wish I had a screenshot to show the difference between the old version vs the new version. I'll post the cab to see if it can be altered to work with WM6.5
I've been having the same problem. I updated to NFSfan's 6.5 v12, but I am now downgrading IE to 6.1 instead of 6.5 and then using the hack cab you provided. Heres the link for the downgrade if you want to give it a shot: LOOK AT 2ND POST.
If I get time to get back later, I will post my results
I saw a Visual Voicemail .cab that was ripped from the (touch screen) T-Mobile HD2's ROM and it got me curious...
I did some googling and found that T-Mobile's official 6.5 upgrade for the Dash 3G (non-touch QVGA, just like our beloved Excalibur) also came with visual voicemail. TMo's update was actually good for something, ha.
I extracted the VVM package from T-Mo's official Dash3G 6.5 ROM and compared those files with the files in the HD2-ripped .cab.
The registry settings and .dll's (down to the MD5 checksum) are the same. The only difference is, of course, the .exe.
Attached are the QVGA non-touch Smartphone vvm.exe from T-Mobile's 6.5 Dash 3G ROM and the .cab from the HD2, which was originally posted in thread #613855 (can't post URLs sorry.)
DIRECTIONS:
Install the .cab, delete /Windows/vvm.exe & replace it with this non-touch vvm.exe, then soft reset (reboot.)
For Visual Voicemail to work, you must have Visual Voicemail on your plan. You have to call 611 (say "tech support") and tell them to add Visual Voicemail (free) to your plan. If they struggle with that, tell them you have a Dash 3G. Others have had success by logging into My T-Mobile, temporarily changing their phones to Dash 3G/Bold 9700/Android, and then adding Visual Voicemail to their services. (You can then change back to a Dash if you'd like.)
ISSUES:
1. Getting CHome plugin to open Visual Voicemail app instead of dialing voicemail (Not sure if that's normal behavior. In any case, opening VVM instead would be the preferred behavior. Registry/dll edit hints?)
2. Dual Voicemail notification icons. It keeps the greyscale/standard one and adds its own colorful icon. See screenshot in post below... I'd like to disable one.
Just my small contribution to the community that's given me so much.
Screenshots
One of the cool features is you can save the voicemails locally as .amr files.
If somebody wants to make a cleaner .cab, here's the EXT package extracted from the ROM in a .zip... Lemme know if you need any other files.
\EXT\Captain\21854\Captain_External_Packages\VVM_1_0_9_RAW1\
Next project: HTC Youtube, much better than Youtube's official app.
This is pretty cool, good job OP!
Hmmm...I would LOVE to use this with my DASH, unfortunately, I don't use T-Mobile voicemail...I have Google Voice.
BUT THIS GIVES ME AN IDEA...
If i have time, I'll try to see if it is possible to make a Visual Voicemail for GoogleVoice! *Now i am off to google like crazy!*
question about this....

ok, I downloaded both files and ran the cab file and then deleted the vmm.exe file and replaced it with the QVGA non-touch screen one. Then changed my phone from a regular Dash to a Dash 3G on the t-mobile site. I then added the free voicemail to my account.
Does it take a while for this service to activate? When I hit the vmm icon it tries to activate the service and I see the little circle thing working and I get a text message with a bunch of gibberish I am not sure what it is... some technical stuff.. The circle thing keeps coming up and eventually says my account has not been upgraded and asks if I want it to upgrade the account.
I say yes but it tries and cannot even access it even though I have the WiFi active... It says I do not have access to Visual Voicemail. Please upgrade your phone... it has an upgrade option that shows up in the bar on the bottom left of the phone I hit that and it tries to go the web site but cannot.. Do you have to have a data plan for this service to work? I just use WiFi and do not have a data plan or want one... please help if able, Thanks!
Did you reboot after installing the cab?
I got a text like that from "129" before I rebooted.
yes I did reboot after installing the cab and what I stated is what happened after I rebooted..
Can you try grabbing "sms_setup.dll" from "EXT package VVM_1_0_9_RAW1.zip" (its inside the "files" folder) and placing it in /Windows
The HD2 cab doesn't seem to include that one, hmm.

In case anybody cares, I figured out what was causing the issue: you need to temporarily disable SMS Bubbles to complete the initial setup. It's intercepting the 129 text before VVM.exe can read it.

Hello,
I am trying to remove a few unwanted programs that come with the new Tilt 2 Rom. I got rid of most of them with a program from this forum but there are a few that I still dont really want.
The big one I want gone is the Vlingo Voice App. I am never going to use this. Then there is the JETCET presenter 5, Opera (im just a sucker for IE just because I love MS so much), and ATT music. Any one know how I trash these suckers?
Another question is where in the registry can I find the start up programs?
Thanks
Dan

I don't know of any way to remove the cooked apps except to run the stock ROM through a kitchen and pull out the unwanted EXT packages.
Start up programs are not in the registry. They are shortcuts in \Windows\Startup.
Try this:

I'm not sure if Crudscraper has been updated for the new ATT ROM yet, so read through the thread for details.
Crud scraper doesn't list Vlingo or Opera 9. I tries.
