Windows Mobile "XDA Live"
for HTC Hermes
I have applied my XDA Live Scripts to the "Vanilla" edition of Windows Mobile 6 for Hermes.
So I present you with Version 0.10 of XDA Live!
Click here for Images of all the Themes I have collected. I've decided that instead of embedding them all, I will remove all but the default Crossbow Theme and add the Aero Theme.
The rest of the collection will be made available via my website this week.
I have integrated the following Applications:
Dictionary Editor
HTweakC v2.1
MS Hearts for PPC
PHM Registry Editor
SMS Backup
StartClean
VJCandelaLite (Flashlight)
Windows Mobile Remote Display (CERDISP)
Fixes Specific to using "Vanilla" Base Rom
Office Mobile Folder and shortcuts are restored
Remote Desktop Mobile has been embedded
I have integrated the following Registry Fixes:
By default only the Date Plugin is enabled (and it is set to a single line).
The Today Screen says "XDA Live" and the about screen shows " - XDA" after the OS Build Number.
Pressing & Holding the Comm Button toggles the between Vibrate & Normal.
PDAViet Memory Leak Fix is Applied.
Disabled the warning for Unsigned Applications (Application Lock)
Misc:
I have added two "Classic RingTones, (OldPhone-US.wma and OldPhone-UK.wav) for those of us who want to get away from the music and chirping Ringers.
I have removed all carrier customizations, no need to soft reset to avoid customization!
Please let's keep this thread clean. This will aide in getting things fixed/added as quickly as possible.
If you just want to chatter go to one of the two other threads for this Rom (see the end of the FAQ a few posts down). I will leave only one thread sticky but it will always contain links to all "Official" Thread for the Rom.
Confirmed Issues:
Known Issues:
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is broken.
Keyboard Backlight Sensor turned off by default.
Turn Off Wi-Fi link is missing from "Connections Bubble".
WiFi enabled on Boot (WiFi Init) is missing.
The following are missing:
ClearVue PDF Viewer.
Cyberon Voice Dialer.
Internet Calling (VOIP).
MSN. (Note this is replaced my MS Live! and wil not be grafted into this Rom)
Note Recorder (including ability to press & Hold to record).
Video Call.
Push To Talk.
SetHSDPA.exe
Add 8525 Keyboard Fix Cab into Rom. (you must install it but it will be there for you now)
Smart Dialer.
Microsoft Live! Mobile. (until there is a real release I will consider installing from the desktop as the fix for this, once there is an official release of WLM or A WM6 Rom that includes it this will become embedded)
Windows Mobile Update.
The WMXL Team is working hard to get these integrated into the Rom.
Items in GREEN are finished for the next release. I would like to time 0.x dot releases at least 1 week apart so expect WMXL v0.20 on March 5th (2007 of course) which will include all verified fixes as of March 3rd.
Click Here For Zip File Containing the following updates:
Button 5 Press & Hold to Record

8525 Keyboard Fix
WiFi Init on Boot

Here is the download link:
WM XDA Live v0.10
Official FAQ...
Q: How do I install it.
A: The self extracting archive will run the RUU after it extracts all files. I used The XDA RUU which was modified to push the Des Bootloader to your device. This Installer does not require your device to be SuperCID and should work with all bootloader versions. This installer only has a HTC Splash Screen and the OS, No radio or Ext_ROM.
Q: Will WMXL (Windows Mobile XDA Live) fix my corrupted radio bootloader or otherwise bricked Hermes?
A: If the other tools here can't do it then don't bet the farm on WMXL doing it. The Flashing tools are still the same, no magic pill here.
Q: Kyphur you are such a Guru, how can I be like you?
A: Remember that my head is in the clouds on this one only because I'm standing on the shoulders' of giants. This project owes it's very existence to many other contributers here and they deserve as much if not more of the cudos than I do. The is a team effort, please support everyone who made this possible. (See my post here). I have been a member her for only 15 months give or take but I have spent more time reading than doing or posting.
Q: Can you release Cab file updates instead of cooking new Roms to flash?
A: I will do both. For example coming soon with be WMXL Update Cabs for Internet Calling, Video Calling, SetHSDPA and Windows Live! Mobile (for example). These will all be embedded into WMXL v0.2. I'm doing this to save you from having to flash you device as often as I am. Remember the Cab files will consume Program Memory whereas the new Rom releases will not.
Q: If you embed a program into the Rom how can I remove it (to save memory).
A: You can't remove file that are in the Rom. You can remove the Shortcuts to the programs. Again I will repeat that programs in the Rom do not consume any memory. If you don't want the program simply ignore it and it will not harm you.
Q: Will you still release the scripts?
A: Of course, I have spent the evening building and testing this Rom for Release. Expect this to delay the release of the How-To but it is still coming.
Q: Will you still release a version based on the original Rom (from your unnamed source).
A: Sort of. There will be a release either based on the Original Base Rom (Rom-X) or an Official Released Carrier Rom. This is why I used scripts to make the Mods to the Rom file, I had a working Rom on the Vanilla Base 20 minutes after I downloaded it. I spent most of last night making sure it was stable before releasing.
Q: Why do my recent programs keep disappearing on every reset?
A: That is StartClean. If you don't want this then simply delete the shortcut from your Startup Folder.
Q: I have more questions...
A:The Original Discussion Thread, The Original Release Thread.

This Rom really is a group effort.
Without pof & team unlocking I never would have even gone looking for the base Rom.
aChef by aklok_hk is doing the heavy lifting.
Sleuth255, ShogunMark, Faria ViJay555, Bepe, Maimach have all been instrumental either directly or indirectly in this project.
Des and the SSPL was another step that got me to this point.
Olipro's RUU Workshop was used to make the installer package.
Of course there are all of the guys who have been doing this before I bought my first PPC Phone, they blazed the trail I simply walk behind them.
Finally, I can't forget my unnamed source. They took a big change passing this along to me. Even though this relase is built on the Vanilla Rom, without that trust I wouldn't have been able to spend that previous week cooking with a WM6 Rom Image.
If I missed someone I apologize, just PM me and I'll update the list.
Do not post like this here (please)...

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to get this running on the new ROM? Tried v2.1.2.21 and v2.1.2.52, but netiher will sync. Both see network, bbriefly create a tunnel and then disconnect.
Anyone got a similair experience - or better still offer a tip?
Thanks in advance

all the best everyone
peace out-
Added the Turn WiFi Off issue to the list.
Added WiFiInit on startup to fixes for next release. In the meantime, fin WifiInit.exe in the Windows Folder and make a shortcut to it in the Startup Folder.
fun_key said:
I also noticed the lack of "turn off wifi", and sadly another little problem: When the device come out of standby and was previously connected to a wifi acces point it is unable to connect again automatiquely. I can either turn off/on wifi to solve this, or simply manualy go in options and force the connection to the acces point I want.
What is in fact the smartdialing? I have so far the same functionnality with wm2006 I had with wm2005 and smartdialing. I don't see what is missing

Keyboard Backlight
Disabling the auto light sensing. This is a real bother where the light does not come up sometimes when you hit a key in the keyboard. I don't know if it is possible to disable it by default.
settings/buttons/backlight/enable keyboard backlight auto sensor
I'll look for the registry key and add it to the initial registry (if I can).

Under the SMS section of messenging, the left softkey is assigned to Delete, rather than New in WM5. Not sure if this is a WM6 vs WM5 thing as no other WM6 devices to compare to.....

__________________
I tried unchecking the tick box and this allowed the removable drive to install.
Unfortunately, I couldn't browse the directory structure though - it just shows it as blank. I did get a directory listing once but it then froze.
I also tried installing Card Export II but this just hung when I tried to browse the card.
I've noticed that the device locks while sending mail. That is, for a couple seconds during the process, scrolling is disabled and the buttons have no effect on the interface at all. Then, when it wakes back up, all input is executed, including scrolling and button presses. Any ideas?
This is with the default Vanilla ROM, I should mention - I am about to upgrade to XDA Live 0.1 now.
Definitely ADOBE.
ClearVue doesn't work with many pdf.
I'm trying out PocketXpdf which is an opensource reader, footprint is much smaller which would leave us more room for other items. But this could become a user preference item really, didn't know if that should have been there or not but I'm fine with installing on my storage card since its not a huge deal.

I'm liking Windows Mobile "XDA Live"
as the name in honor of all XDA-Dev has done for us.
I'll be keeping this post updated with progress/news.
Understand that I can not release this Rom without the approval of my source, they need to protect their livelihood. The second I'm given the go ahead, the floodgate with open but until then I simply can't unless I want to burn a good source who put a lot of trust in me.
My primary goal is to get an uncluttered Rom that is useful from the start, think Faria-lite..
If everyone is good and doesn't keep me from getting this done, I will release the scripts that I am using to build & rebuild this rom easily so that each of you can confidently do exactly as I am. I can release the scripts maybe this weekend regardless of the status of the Rom because they are independent of the Rom you are cooking.
Quick FAQ:
Q: Can we get a "Clean" version of the Rom.
A: When released there will be several packages:
"Clean OS" Rom with only HTC-X and Comm Button Toggle Vibrate Fix integrated.
"Hit the Ground Running" Rom with several useful apps embedded (you will be able to disable everything that is embedded) and operator Customizations within easy reach.
Hermes Rom Cookbook, which will include the scripts and tools I am using to do this and instructions on how to apply these to any Hermes Rom.
.nb file only releases for those who want to only swap out the OS ('cause we like our splash screens)
Q: Will WMXL (Windows Mobile XDA Live) fix my corrupted radio bootloader or otherwise bricked Hermes?
A: If the other tools here can't do it then don't bet the farm on WMXL doing it. The Flashing tools are still the same, no magic pill here.
Q: Can you Add XXXX or why not use ZZZZ instead of the App you chose.
A: I have been selective of the apps I am embedding. They may not always be the best at what they do but they are easy to use and small. I will not install 5 different apps with the same function. By having one or two apps you will use embedded you will save plenty of Program Memory to be able to comfortably install the Task Manager, MP3 player or Coffee Temp Monitor of your liking.
Q: Kyphur you are such a Guru, how can I be like you?
A: Remember that my head is in the clouds on this one only because I'm standing on the shoulders' of giants. This project owes it's very existence to many other contributers here and they deserve as much if not more of the cudos than I do. The is a team effort, please support everyone who made this possible. (See my post here). I have been a member her for only 15 months give or take but I have spent more time reading than doing or posting.
Q: If you embed a program into the Rom how can I remove it (to save memory).
A: You can't remove file that are in the Rom. You can remove the Shortcuts to the programs. Again I will repeat that programs in the Rom do not consume any memory. If you don't want the program simply ignore it and it will not harm you.
Q: I have more questions...
A: Read the thread.
Current Status:
I have removed the list ofToday (.tsk) Themes for this Rom. Click here for Images of all the Themes I have collected. I've decided that instead of embedding them all, I will remove all but the default Crossbow Theme and maybe create a custom WMXL (Windows Mobile XDA Live) Theme.
The rest of the collection will be packaged together so everyne can pick and choose their themes. If we figure out how to create a custom Ext_Rom.nd then I will put them there along with Carrier Data & MMS Settings.
I have integrated the following Applications:
Dictionary Editor
HTweakC v2.1
MS Hearts for PPC
PHM Registry Editor ** Will not be replaced by Total Commander...
SMS Backup
StartClean
VJCandelaLite (Flashlight)
I know everyone has their own list of apps they'd like to see but I have chosed these because they are small, simple to use and ADD functionality to the Rom.
I have integrated the following Registry Fixes:
By default only the Date Plugin is enabled (and it is set to a single line).
The Today Screen says "XDA Live" and the about screen shows " - XDA" after the OS Build Number.
Pressing & Holding the Comm Button toggles the between Vibrate & Normal.
PDAViet Memory Leak Fix is Applied.
Disabled the warning for Unsigned Applications (Application Lock)
Misc:
I have added two "Classic RingTones, (OldPhone-US.wma and OldPhone-UK.wav) for those of us who want to get away from the music and chirping Ringers.
I have removed all carrier customizations, no need to soft reset to avoid customization!
Current Known Issues:
The only real issue is that I am bound by a promise to my source to not distribute this Rom until the Carrier releases it or I can get ALL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION removed from it. trust me, I am working on it but there is absolutely no room for errors. Ironically the Rom seems more stable since I've modified it than it was when I received it.
Goals to work on:
Embed TCPMP v0.71RC and Codex Files.
Dropped or moved to low priority:
Voice Command Abandoned... It was proving too troublesome and there are too many reasons (language and dialing rule differences) to not embed it.
Dropped embedding a replacement Calculator, two many personal preferences, they are all lightweight and we can each add our fav later.
As for adjusting how the memory is used, if someone knows how to do that I'm all ears but if it requires shifting things in the image and hex editing it then I think we might hit the NAND Block Issue again.
BTW, this truly is a group effort.
Without pof & team unlocking I never would have even gone looking for the base Rom.
aChef by aklok_hk is doing the heavy lifting.
Sleuth, ShogunMark, Faria ViJay555, Bepe, Maimach have all been instrumental either directly or indirectly in this project.

Of course there are all of the guys who have been doing this before I bought my first PPC Phone, they blazed the trail I simply walk behind them.
Finally, I can't forget my unnamed source. They took a big change passing this along to me. Without that trust I'd be cooking AKU 3.3 right now.

Hmm, but what you need these themes for? I guess it would be cool if there was no unnecessary stuff you can always download later.

Today themes are small, I would like to include the HTC Standard as well as Carrier Themes for at least the major carriers just as a way to allow us to brand this Rom without having to use any of our storage memory.
Initial Rom will not have any added apps, just clean & stable though I might embed The Hermes Tweaker.
This will be great. I am all for a minimal clean rom. No Addons just crossbow. HTC is fine for me. Just my opinion.
Can't wait.
Thanks

I think you should post with a boot screen dedicated to the legal department @ M$.

Plans to release...
First I will confirm that this IS NOT an AKU 3.3 Rom.
I have successfully removed most of the identifying info that could lead back to my source (I believe).
Now I'm adding a few things back in like the Press & Hold Comm button for Vibrate Toggle Fix, Today Themes for Carriers and my favorite Ringtone (OldPhone.wma).
I am waiting for a response from my source regarding the info I've cleaned out (I want their approval before I share as I don't want to burn my source).
I hope that this will all happen in less than 1 week.

AHHH! But aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? I see you have WM6 on that pic. What if he's acutally ported Linux to it? Uhhh... wait a second, nevermind.
Nice, I suspect this will be a BIG relase, nice work!
now that people are cooking up some ROMs now, maybe someone can make seperate .cab files for different carriers with all the data settings in it so we can load our internet settings right away after we install cooked ROMs...
A good thing to add to the ExtROM COULD be a feature i noticed on an early iMate rom i used on my hermes. When it was going ahead with the "customisation..." screen it would ask what carrier you are on?! Then IT would apply the appropriate GPRS/MMS settings?!
May be just laziness on my part but would be a COOL feature.

I'm at work now, but from the dutch Qtek site www.qtek.nl you can download a cab file with all the settings from the dutch telecom providers.
If you can't find it I can upload it when I get home tonight.
Would be good If we could collect all the Operator cabs and maybe put them on the ftp?
Probably better than clogging up a ROM with them!?
(LOL il get to work TRYING to track down the O2 one)
Settings Files
Here's Imate and Telstra .tsk, if still needed. Thanks for your great work!
here's the dopod 838 pro .tsk
Does the new os actually close programs or still leave them open when you tap the x-button? If so, what about adding HTC_X-Button.cab?
People can always turn it off if they don't want it.
I also load the two tools below, I think just about everyone uses psshutxp and dictionary editor allows you to get rid of those annoying words you misspell and your phone remembers.... They are all pretty small, but extremely useful.

here goes the official o2 germany tsk file and the o2 germany internet-flatrate wap settings plus the o2 germany mms settings.
if you need a quicktool that can select what to install i can whip that up in c real quick
oli, i wouldnt cook the gps driver just yet.. we need to play with it on wm6.0 to see if its ok..
question besides:
is it necessary to implement vc? especially if the us version isn`t able to deal with with commands in other languages!
anyway, sounds awesome!!!

Are you installing apps via ExtRom? I'd suggest against having the apps installed as part of the base rom, some of these apps get updated on a fairly regular basis......
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As you can see, my list of imbedded apps is intentionally short:
1-Calc Lite (replaced Calculator Shortcut in Start Menu)
HTweakC v2.1
PHM Registry Editor
SMS Backup
StartClean
Microsoft Voice Command v1.6 (US)
HTweakC might see some updates but that would be easy to install the new version over and only loose would be the benefit of saving storage Rom.
By embedding these into the Rom we save several Megs of Storage RAM.
Okay, I'll also confirm this is WM6
Also, added Telsta.tsk, i-mate Grass.tsk, i-mate Swoosh.tsk.
I will not be adding other apps to this Rom. If someone wants to gather carrier Data Connections Cabfiles I would be happy to embedd them directly into the Rom (these settings seldom change).
I think I will add the 8525 eyboard Fix Cab file (but not install it) into the Rom.
Currently working on an XML error in the section of code that would place Voice Command into the Rom.
The other apps are all considered stable versions.

Once I have it in good I can easily generate a parallel Rom without it (I am writing scripts to run the tools which build the Rom so skipping sections is trivial.

I myself don't need PHM Registry Editor since I'm using Total Commander with its integrated registry editor plugin, which I find easier to navigate the registry. And I don't need yet-another-way-too-simple-calculator and would prefer a scientific one with RPN (I always hit the wrong keys on non-RPN-calculators ), like RayRPN.
But if having his preferences on the device is the price to pay for using this "very special rom"... well, as long as we're able to hide them from the start menu/programs menu, I'll gladly pay it

You can delete the shortcuts for anthing you don't like.
Personally I use Resco for Registry & File operations but PHM is simply and requires not install so you have Registry Editing out of the box.
I'll look at RayRPN, I just hate the stupid PPC Calc (still same as the old CE Calc). I love the tip calculator and unit conversion functions of 1-calc.
Again once the integration is done, I can easily generate a 100% plain Rom with no carrier tsk files, images or settings. I figue I'll make use of the time while I wait for approval to release....

Please, if you read the thread you will see that I am waiting for my source to approve the Rom (to be sure I have removed everything that could trace it back even close to them - got to protect the source).

The First Edition of
Windows Mobile "XDA Live"

I have applied my XDA Live Scripts to the "Vanilla" edition of Windows Mobile 6 for Hermes.
So I present you with Version 0.10 of XDA Live!

Praise you sir, job well done!
awsome work kyphur! quick question though, will you still be working on your original version of XDA-Live, and if yes, will it include the things that this one is missing (LIVE integration, PTT, etc)?
downloading... thanks for all your hard work
All hail to the guru and his team...
Just installing as we speak. I'll report back on stability useage etc as time goes on - and look forward to updates, fixes, advice etc.
Many thanks Kyphur
WEEEEEE!!!!!!
I love me some kyphur! Your work is much appreciated, and I mean that very sincerly. Get some rest and thanks for everything!!
I will continue development using "Van" as my base so I can release fixes and updates to you.
If I get a better version that I can share (even the original one or an update of it) I will be able to apply my scripts to it so everyone can now join in the development phase of this Rom.

awsome work kyphur! quick question though, will you still be working on your original version of XDA-Live, and if yes, will it include the things that this one is missing (LIVE integration, PTT, etc)?

thanks for your sharing...expecting a 'full' version thus we can cook our own rom. thanks again.
Great !
Now I don't get to sleep for a while again.
Thanks KYPHUR. I will report my test reports.
Keep up the good work!!! Aferim!
ok crap i just upgraded to the other guy's vanilla wm6 release
guess i'll flash this one on now lol
good work, just wondering if you fixed the keyboard issue (the symbols seem to be misaligned in a random order)
Quick question ... if I flash this ROM and for some reason need/want to go back to the new Cingular ROM (e.g., if I can't get Goodlink to run on this yet) should I have any problem just re-flashing the new Cingular ROM over this XDA ROM?
Welcome in the HALL of Fame...
Thanks to ALL the active people who made this happen.
Nice

What's your hardware? For the 8525 you need to use the attached Cab File.

Check the wiki, 8525s and other Hermes have a different keyboard setting.
You shouldn't have any problem reverting to another Rom.

Released:
Windows Mobile "XDA Live v0.20"
for HTC Hermes
Now I present you with Version 0.20 of XDA Live!
Click here for Images of all the Themes I have collected. I've decided that instead of embedding them all, I will remove all but the default Crossbow Theme and add the Aero Theme. The Themes Page is being updated to allow you to click on the image to download the Theme.
I've received several requests for a PayPal link to donate in support of my efforts so I finally broke down and did it. If you go to the page with the themes (use the link above) at the bottom there is a PayPal Link. Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes and don't forget please send to XDA-Developers.com first.
WMXL v0.20 no longer uses the Vanilla Rom as it's base. I have been given the okay to release using my Original Base Rom.

Cubicle Chaos
HTweakC v2.1
MS Hearts
PHM Registry Editor
SMS Backup
StartClean

The about screen shows " - XDA" after the OS Build Number.
Pressing & Holding the Comm Button toggles the between Vibrate & Normal.
Memory Cache & Storage Card Fixes are Applied.
Disabled the warning for Unsigned Applications (Application Lock).
Connection Band (E/G instead of U) displays correctly.
Added a Registry Key to support "internet-flatrate" by o2.

WiFiInit is embedded.
SetHSPDA.exe is embedded.
I have created two new Roms v0.20.0 has no PDF Viewer embedded, v0.20.1 had Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.0 Embedded.

I have added two "Classic RingTones, (OldPhone-US.wma and OldPhone-UK.wav) for those of us who want to get away from the music and chirping Ringers.
I have removed all carrier customizations, no need to soft reset to avoid customization!
Please let's keep this thread clean. This will aide in getting things fixed/added as quickly as possible.
If you just want to chatter go to one of the other threads for this Rom (see the end of the FAQ a few posts down). I will leave only one thread sticky but it will always contain links to all "Official" Threads for the Rom.

Official FAQ...
Q: How do I install it.
A: The self extracting archive will run the RUU after it extracts all files. I used The XDA RUU which was modified to push the Des Bootloader to your device. This Installer does not require your device to be SuperCID and should work with all bootloader versions. This installer only has a HTC Splash Screen and the OS, No radio or Ext_ROM.
Q: When I try to flash this Rom I get "Error 260: Update Error" why can't I flash this?
A: Remove you Security Pin,
Q: Will WMXL (Windows Mobile XDA Live) fix my corrupted radio bootloader or otherwise bricked Hermes?
A: If the other tools here can't do it then don't bet the farm on WMXL doing it. The Flashing tools are still the same, no magic pill here.
Q: If I upgrade to WMXL can I downgrade to an official Rom from my carrier?
A: Of course you can. WMXL DOES NOT HAVE A RADIO ROM so your Radio & Radio BootLoader are not touched. If you are not SuperCID you can use a Rom from your carrier to downgrade or you can use SSPL.
Q: What will happen to my Extended Rom when I flash WMXL?
A: Nothing. There is no Extended Rom included.
Q: Can you make it in German/French/Italian/Klingon for me?
A: The short answer is NO. I'm focusing on the OS, changing languages and localization are not something I want the delve into. Any replacement keyboard program for WM5 ought to work in WM6, best I can say is try what you're currently using the worst that will happen is you'll lose a few hours of time and maybe have to hard reset. For OS localization to a different language I'm sure some of the WM5 techniques will work but WM6 has different support for OS Language. Personally I'd either wait until MS releases Language Packs or someone takes an interest and figures this out so we can localize at hard reset.
Q: Kyphur you are such a Guru, how can I be like you?
A: Remember that my head is in the clouds on this one only because I'm standing on the shoulders' of giants. This project owes it's very existence to many other contributers here and they deserve as much if not more of the cudos than I do. The is a team effort, please support everyone who made this possible. (See my post here). I have been a member her for only 15 months give or take but I have spent more time reading than doing or posting.
Q: Can you release Cab file updates instead of cooking new Roms to flash?
A: I will do both. For example there were WMXL Update Cabs for Internet Calling and Windows Live! Mobile (for example). Some of these features will get embedded into the next release. I'm doing this to save you from having to flash you device as often as I am. Remember the Cab files will consume Program Memory whereas the new Rom releases will not.
Q: If you embed a program into the Rom how can I remove it (to save memory).
A: You can't remove files that are in the Rom. You can remove the Shortcuts to the programs. If you don't want the program simply ignore it and it will not harm you.
Q: Will you still release the scripts?
A: With the sudden release of several "Rom Kitchens" for the Hermes, my scripts are actually the hard way to do things. I will continue to use them as it allows me to easily switch from one Base ROm to another without much extra work. I would recommend that other wanting to cook Rom use one of the Rom Kitchens. Personally I will be experimenting with Olipro's as some of his earlier works have made WMXL possible. After WMXL v0.20 is released I will release a "Clean WM6 Rom" which will make a good base for other Rom Chefs. It will not include any of the additional progroms I embed but will have all of the core stuff (like Office Mobile).
Q: Will you still release a version based on the original Rom (from your unnamed source).
A: WMXL v0.20 uses my original Base Rom. Please note that the Vanilla Rom is derived from the same Base Rom as I have been using. The big difference is that I spent a lot of time sifting through the Rom files sorting what to delete whereas the Vanilla Rom, while good, has had a little too much trimmed off in some areas while junk has been left standing in others. Another difference is that I have changed a few files in WMXL v0.20 so that it can support Cingular's PTT.
Q: Why do my recent programs keep disappearing on every reset?
A: That is StartClean. If you don't want this then simply delete the shortcut from your Startup Folder.
Q: I have more questions...
A: This Thread is for misc duscussions.
...
Credits...
This Rom really is a group effort.
Without pof & team unlocking I never would have even gone looking for the base Rom.
aChef by aklok_hk is doing the heavy lifting.
Sleuth255, ShogunMark, Faria ViJay555, Bepe, Maimach have all been instrumental either directly or indirectly in this project.
Des and the SSPL was another step that got me to this point.
Olipro's RUU Workshop was used to make the installer package.
Of course there are all of the guys who have been doing this before I bought my first PPC Phone, they blazed the trail I simply walk behind them.
baudy2 for the OS version edit, wpbear for the Stand-alone Cyberon Voice Dialer CAB, coeptum for the regedit to fix the E/G indicator, schriss for pointing out that WM6 used an older Video Driver, shafez for providing the MSN Files.
Of course there is my team of beta testers.
Finally, I can't forget my unnamed source. They took a big change passing this along to me. Even though this relase is built on the Vanilla Rom, without that trust I wouldn't have been able to spend that previous week cooking with a WM6 Rom Image.
If I missed someone I apologize, just PM me and I'll update the list.

Early Release.....
Officially posted at 4:48 AM, Wednesday March 7th!!!
Who needs sleep when you've got two Roms to distribute...
Enjoy
the first screen on my spv m3100,after the initial soft-reset, is over the windows mobile xda live edition wallpaper (background) so you cant read what it says: Tap here to...
Thanks Kyphur and the TEAM for this great release,
As I asked before, Is there a need for a direct mirror link?
So far so good, except GPRS....
Breaks every 3-4 min and can reconnect only after soft reset.
Thanks a lot again.
CIN 8525,
2.06.502.3
Any mirrors are welcome...
I've have GPRS connected since my last flash (about 90 minutes) without dropping the connection. I use HTweakC to Enable CPRS/G3 Auto Attach" and "Set Connection AlwaysOn".
Are you installing any Cingular Cabs?
Are you enabling HSDPA?

BBConnect
Thanks also for this release guys.
Installed this looking forward to the BBConnect fix, but hitting an issue. I run v 2.1.2.52 and whilst I can install and run the software, it isn't pulling down email. I notice that the wireless synch box is never ticked when installed, yet despite clicking this - and attempting to force a synch it doesn't work.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance....

still missing the hsdpa icons...
Hi there... i still miss my G, E, U, H icons on top bar... only 3g is displayed....

only adding the regkey of hsdpa isn't a solution....
(hope that threat is correct for posting this)
Thank you for the great Work.
The exchange now its working, but the WiFi its not working.
Messaging app seems broken for gmail! I cant receive gmail but my orange account is ok (used same settings for gmail as i did for wm5)

Only BBConnect v 2.1.2.31 works under this version.
Please be more specific, are you receiving an error? Explain exactly the behavior you are observing.
Also, everyone please post which point version your are running (.0 = no PDF, .1= Adobe Acrobat PDF) when reporting an issue.

Here's a tweaked developer version of the original CE 5.2.1413 Kernel equipped lvsw ROM
I've tested it and so far have not seen any battery or processor issues. The included taskmanager shows 80-90% idle with the remainder taken up by the taskmanager application itself.
v1.1 of this ROM includes:
everything in v1.0
GLYPHCACHE limt re-optimized at 32,768
Mobile Office 2K7
HTC X-Button v1.5
ClearVue PDF viewer removed
v1.0 of this ROM includes:
4MB Paging File
packaged with Tadzio's tools but exe's not compressed
glyphcache/cachsize optimizations
A2DP optimized for highest Fidelity (A2DP patch is not included).
additional apps: GSFinder+, DotFred's Taskmgr, PHM Regedit, SIPChange, Austinboy's Fieldtest
VoIP optimizatons: dialplan normalized for US calling (default areacode is 262 on 7 digit calls), connect over 3G as well as WiFi enabled
Live Search today plugin is set to use Google and works just fine when spaces are part of the search term
As always, because its targeted at developers, this version has the Extrom hidden and all customizations are disabled on initial start. Note: this will disable the video calling tweak. Manually install video calling phone skins if you wish to use Video calling with this version.
Free storage memory is about 45MB and free program memory is 25-30MB. Displayed Today screen items have been reduced and re-ordered in this manner (note: the additional plugins are still present, just unchecked in Today settings):
Date
Live Search
Internet Calling
Owner Info
Email messages
Appointments
The installer will also upgrade your splash screens to the "Sun Rising over the earth" HTC theme from page 1. Your Radio, IPL and SPL will remain unchanged. This is a SSPL only installer so you must be connected with ActiveSync. Then, just execute and it'll take about 5 minutes to install.
Download v1.1 now from RapidShare. High speed download from Chamelion
Download v1.0 now from RapidShare
As before, send any donations to LVSW since I'm using his base here.
v1.1 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)
Mobile Office 2K7 is the latest beta release. It's here because this is a developer ROM. Here are the known issues:
OneNote can't rename or delete notes
vp3G found the registry problem that causes this issue! The fix can be found here
The very first time you run Pocket Excel, nothing happens (this only occurs once)
In Pocket Excel, tools->Save As is actually tools->Sort
Here are the known HTC X-Box issues.
On the Today screen, changes the font on SPB weather and SPB Time to Black (only happens if "Enable Today X button" is selected) SPB has posted a fix for SPBWeather as it seems there are other today screen apps that cause this behavior too. You can download the fix here
Unable to add programs to the exclusive list without reghacks.
There are a few other unconfirmed issues as well but no major show stoppers. Its included in this build because the Today screen close button feature is just too damn cool (and a pretty blatant SPB Pocket+ ripoff btw) to not let you folks play with. Heck, this is a developer ROM & its followers need to see this app firsthand (and perhaps run it through IDA Pro too )...
Please post your XP with these issues; I believe the OneNote problem is solvable without having to revert to an older version. This is why I included it here. X-Button may or may not work better with this kernel so let me know if it is experiencing issues and what other apps you might be running with it!
v1.0 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)
To improve display performance change the following value from 16384 to 32768:
HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit
I've been unable to reproduce streaming A2DP in powersave mode since the first time I tried it btw... I'm working on this; the rom I was using was a descendant of this release & I just assumed it would work... sorry...
Great work Sleuth, will try soon, thanks.
any chance of an unpaked version, as i like to recook mine
Sleuth dude, you are a bad, bad man.
I finally get the phone how I like it, and now you tempt me with another developer version...
Well, I downloaded it, now to see how long I can resist flashing it.
As a great contributor to XDA community, would you mind to hexedit the version to 5.1.195 ?
Most excellent.
Thanks man
giving a try now. thanks!!
..oh I am getting that itch back... ..a man gotta flash what's a man gotta flash... thanks sleuth, u da man!
Thanks Sleuth255
One more big thanks for you. with people like you (and fortunatelly we have more) ths community has the future granted. Congratulations.
Wifi issues
Thank you for the release! However, I'm having Wifi troubles and I was wondering if there were any changes made regarding this issue from the LSVW release. I'm experiencing quirky behavior where the a certain network would be available for connect and when attempting to connect, that network suddenly becomes unavailable on the device. It's a strange behavior.
UPDATE: After doing a clean reinstall, I found that the Wifi problems I had before is gone. Everything seems stable (BT, Wifi, GPRS all seem to work well with no drops or problems). It seems like a clean slick build. I have the usual problem of Messaging menu disappearing when I click the REPLY button to either an email or txt but this is consistent with all of the other cooked roms I have encountered. Overall, it's a very nice build. Thank you again.
Well, I tested this ROM pretty extensively on my 802.11G network here. I remained connected for well over an hour until I terminated the test. I was using a Linksys WRT54GX2 access point.

Well, its a developer ROM so I'm afraid I need to leave the version alone. Developers working with this ROM may build code that depends on the major/minor version numbers being correct. This is a major update to WM6 IMO and the versioning is what distinguishes it to an application.

Just open the exe with WINRAR and extract ruusigned.nbh. You can strip out os.nb with pof's nbhextract.

tried that but get the divide error, if its possible to have the windows.nb b4 tadzio is used onit, for me i remove all the unnecsary windows junk such as the music stuf window live pdf powerpoint etc, as i only need a very bare bones os...lvsw is the best as far as im concerned but i lik to recook the os
I only cook with tadzio's tools. I didn't think that caused an issue with re-extracting tho. I'm checking it now... I'll post os.nb if this is the case.
edit:
worked great. I extracted ruu_signed.nbh using WinRAR v3.50 then pulled os.nb and the splash screens using pof's original nbhextract v1.0.
Don't use OliPro's nbdump program as it'll blow up.
Any alternative download link? I'm can't download from rapidshare.
Thanks
im using koch to remove files from the os.nb, but when it tries to dump the nb file it gives an divide by zero error...evry thing else runs fine
better alert dutty ITMT, just download pof's nbhextract and use that to get os.nb.
seems i cant rextract it once its been run thru tadzios...both app extract the nbh fine just cant extract the resultant nb though, as thats what i want to play with

........................
This is really nice best wm 6.1 rom out !!!!!! Thanks Faria
Impationtly waiting
My method to resolve the Hard Reset issue with BigStorage ROM's...
Download and run the official AT&T 3.52 ROM (I tried the officila Dopod ROM that contained my required 1.47 radio but I still HR'ed with two different ROM's)
(note: Place the PDA into bootloader mode by holding OK & Power Buttons while soft reseting with your stylus first)
Flash Olipro's HardSPL7
Find your preferred Radio and flash. I have the best luck with 1.47.30.10 myself here in South Florida. 1.54 on WM6.1's takes FOREVER to aquire a signal, and battery life is great (at least with the 6 or so Faria Clean WM6.1's Im supporting personally)
Then flash your WM6.1.
Yes this IS a real PIA but it's worth it to me not to have a HR, especially when I'm on the phone!
Since I've been doing it THIS way I've yet to have a Hard Reset., YMMV of course
won't work
sorry for my noobishness but the updateutility.exe don't start...
I have been waiting for this. Was going to flash with the last build but then hints of this one was released so I waited.
Thanks to Faria for the ROM and Dr. P. for the support.

downloaded another update utility and so far so good. Hope won't have to report any bugs

uploading new rom with fixed update utility.
Faria, Great Rom , i love it . The only thing i miss is the Dialpad, i really liked the old one.
I stopped using the upload utility, i have Windows vista and i allways use the Micro Sd Card Rom Update method.
oops. I updated to spl-2.60 OLIpro before I flashed. During the flash I recieved an error and now........ The tri-color screen and it will not connect to activesync.
After a few minutes of playing I like the speed - noticable improvements over 6.0.
One point to mention is a bunch of extra "stuff" in the Office Mobile folder under Start Menu. Not sure if this is by design, but it was a suprise to see them in there. In particular: Contacts, Calendar, Adobe Reader LE, and a link to My Documents. I can see where grouping these may be for ease of use, but I just wanted to point it out.
The other is how button 5 is mapped for "quick". It currently has a "\" and errors when pushed. I presume this is so and the user needs to install their target program or remap accordingly?
Otherwise, a very nice build. Even PIM Backup runs very fast - a good benchmark for me to tell if it's a good one
any suggestions on how to get out of this tri-color screen.
