Hi,
Does anyone got the O2 AutoConifgurator cab? I would like to install it in my O2 XDA Exec so I can use different sim cards easily when I'm travelling. To simply configuration!
See http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaAtom/template/XdaAtomApplications.vm#value
Cheers!
hey Guys,
I'm pretty new to this kinda stuff and i just got a Dopod 838 Pro, im guessing this is the Australian version of the Hermes, its manufactured by HTC. here in Australia for some reason we have like 3 different brand names for them but their all the same!.... anyways to the point, i read all these different threads with all these different WM6 versions on it and i have no idea anymore which is the right one?!?!?!
i want to upgrade my dopod to the WM6 but i don't no which OS to choose? which is the best atm and why is it so hard to get them working? its not like just a copy of windows xp and you install it?
Also what is LVSW mean or whatever ppl are saying on here lol
Latest Version Software? haha
So yea which copy do i use?
Hi,
I'm using Dopod 838Pro too.
There are pros and cons for all the WM6, it all depends on what you want (more embedded software? more memory?)
As for myself, I've been using XDA Live v0.1 then v0.2. I'm still waiting for v0.3 I have not tried the rest, because I think I prefer XDA Live and I'll wait for kyphur
Thanks!

best thing to do is get onto Hard-SPL then start trying them all out before finally settling on one and lobbing all your crap into it.
I would even go one step further (which I have) and purchase Sprite Back and perform an Update Restore .. this will allow you to flash new ROMS and in one restore you have all your apps back...
The Update Restore function allows you to change OS's or devices and restore all of your applications. (Just be sure to follow the steps every time)

Remigi,
There is some good advise in all of the above. The only thing you can really do to be honest is read all of the forums relating to the upgrade process, especially the wiki!!!! Then once you feel you are adequately ready take the plunge. An extra piece of advise that I will dispense if you don't mind as I am struggling with it at the moment is;
Copy down all of your data settings and connection details - or confirm (via the forums) that the settings that are out here all work and will get you back sending mms / gprs / wap(?) etc etc. I flashed my 2 day old Orange M3100 (same thing as you just branded for UK) and I am still trying to get all of this functionality back properly.
As for which ROM to use..... I am using the one mentioned in my sig block (the second one) the black v1.2. It absolutely dumps all over the bog standard carrier rom!!!
Hope this helps

This is good advice...but what are you missing? I am on Orange UK and it takes less than five minutes to re-enter GPRS/WAP/MMS settings and load the sdk certs and the smsproviders.dll (to get the voicemail notifications) following a rom update.
so whats the difference between them all? like atm i have the standard WM5 Hutchinson's three software on there which has nothing special apart from every time u put a simcard in it downloads the settings automatically.... called network setup or something... but yea.. what the diff between like vanilla and xda and black and all those... isnt it all just WM6?
Hi,
I'm using O2 XDA Orbit, currently with Meschle's VANILA 2.0 Rom. and my problem is that I'm missing icons in start menu. but it is not problem of this rom, i used other WM6 ROMs, even official O2 international, but with the same effect. the icons r missing also in shortcut bar. I had not this problem with original WM5.
anybody with same problem or knows how to solve it?

It looks as if the shortcuts do not relate to an executable (ie when you deinstall something or move the programfolder). Is this the case? The programs that you use, i use too, so it seems its not related to that software.
What happens if you reinstall the programs? BTW are they on you storagecard? If so, can you access the storagecard at all?
I had the same problem, but found a solution.
A small "program" called refreshstartmenu.exe, works for me!

Good tip, Ive never had the problem ever though, i guess my microsd is fast enough for a correct boot/set the correct icons.

Hi All!
I just upgraded my Rogers TyTN to Windows Mobile 6. I've got most everything back up and running. There are a couple things that are nagging me.
1. When I create a new SMS and start typing the name of the recipient, it also searches my SIM card. Anyway to disable that?
2. When I open an SMS or Email it doesn't open at the top of the SMS/Email. SMS will open at the end and Emails will open somewhere in the middle. Both times I have to scroll up. Can this be fixed?
I think for now, those are the 2 more noticeable problems for me. Everything else appears to be under control.
Thanx in advance,
Dan
Is there anybody who can help? I've been searching all over for answers.

download Schaps Advanced config tool, will allow you to set sim card properties on contacts (number 1). On number 2 that seems unusual (I do not experience that). Try installing threaded SMS install it and see if it helps. You may also want to look into some of the cooked roms (either 6 or 6.1 version), these issues are addressed in most of the cooked roms.
Thanks for the Schaps config tool. Will be trying it tonight.
As for the messaging screen problem, I'm using the official HTC ROM I found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829
Dan
The Schaps config tool didn't help. It just allows you to hide the SIM contacts in the Contacts application.
Hello? Anyone? You guys are supposed to be the best. That's why I posted here!

As aaronsmckee stated "You may also want to look into some of the cooked roms (either 6 or 6.1 version), these issues are addressed in most of the cooked roms"
If you can't deal with bugs, stay away from 6.1 until they get everything worked out.
I am currently using schaps wm6 pro 1.34 and love it. I don't keep contacts on my sim card so I don't know if it fixes that, but it definitely fixes the e-mail/sms bug you describe.
You can find Schaps 1.34 rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359458
It'll be a helluvalot more stable than the crackerjack "official" rom.
If it works for you, don't forget to donate to the chef, they need to eat too.
Patience is required!!!

As per previous posts. You really need to blow the official rom and grab a cooked one. But before you do that I strongly suggest that you do some reading of the wiki and the posts that accompany your chosen rom. My personal suggestions would be K's or CRC's both cook great fast & stable roms.
Again pls read before you post dumb questions and demand answers
Found my answer on HowardForums
It was a simple and common registry tweak for PIE's 4-way D-navigation that caused the problem with Messaging scrolling. No need to blast away the ROM and install a cooked one.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=10674995
Could you please post here what ROM you used?
I have Rogers TyTn and would like to upgrade to WM6 but I don't know what ROM to use.
Do I have to unlock SIM / CID before installing WM6?
did you upgrade the Radio ROM too?
Thanks
Hi'all !
I'm quite interested in the WM6.1 Rom, but I own a German TMo MDA Mail with a German keyboard layout...I wouldn't mind using the English ROM, just wanna know how to tweak it to the German layout...any idea?
Cheers,
vivid
Nobody? if its just sth in the registry, would somebody mind explaining it to me^^
WM6.1 running on german XDA cosmo
Hey,
I've got a german XDA cosmo (= Excalibur), running with the Kavana 080408 WM6.1-ROM.
I am using eT9 (link as found in Kavanas thread: http://movie.99msn.net/kavana/eT9 Full.cab) with the attached keyboard layout (copy to Program Files/eT9).
It's working fine. The only problem, is that the zero key doesn't work in numeric mode. But you can switch to alphabetical mode and type the zero there. I'm also not able to type a TAB, but who needs ;-) Probably it's not hard to fix, the kmap-file structure is very simple.
Good luck ..
... and to minimize the cultural shock you can set your locale to german in "settings" -> "regional settings". This affects time / number -format and currency. Feels a lot more like at home afterwards ;-)
The automatic "Connections Setup" in "Start Menu" -> "Accesoires" does also know the german operators. It has set up cellular data connections for me (works fine), but I haven't tested the MMS setup yet.
Cheers mate! So I just copy the eT9-cab with the kmap into the directory u have given there?
You install the cab, like you do with any other program (copy to the phone, and start it through the phone's file manager).
It installs to the directory I mentioned (the installer creates it). Afterwards you can copy the kmap-file there (overwrite the old). I'm quite sure it just worked afterwards, since I can't remember modifying the registry But you will probably need to reset the Telefon
I've got the keymapping from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2121806&highlight=german+kmap#post2121806
You can also do a search for "german" and "kmap" or "eT9" and "kmap "in the kavana thread.
Maybe you'll have to activate eT9 through Fn + Space in a text field.
Thx Probably was juz too lazy to scan 1700 posts in that thread... But thanks anyways! Another question concerning the 6.1 ROM: I wanted to update to rickywatt's edited ROM, but seem to get an error 270 anytime i try...any idea?
You're too lazy again .. the "search this thread" button does magic
Seems, that others had the problem, too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2154892&postcount=181
So you should make sure to have unlocked first .. (if so, I have no idea)
Haven't tried Ricky's ROM yet, maybe when the wheather gets worse
I'm afraid the ROM is full of blingbling, but slow as hell with little space .. Ricky's feature list scared me so maybe you could report, how you like it to clear my doubts
Well yea it is completely unlocked I am afraid...thats what i saw before already...
I actually dun have time in the moment myself, lots of exams going on but I always take myself time for my lil' excalibur
Does CAP key works with your kmap?
Well no..^^ it did for Kavana's ROM; but somehow for ricky's it doesnt. Quite odd actually.
Oh, and @fruchti, i got rick's OS working...if u overclock the OMAP you gonna be fine. Just disable all the panels u dun need: for me that was myfaves, internet etc...

I was able to solve this issue for Ricky's build. I installed eT9Full.cab, restarted the device and selected German using Fn+Space.
Now it finds "für" "über" and so on. CAP works, too.
Please keep in mind that you have to reboot the device after installing cab. Without rebooting - german settings will not work.
Hope this solve your issue, too.
Really? Thats odd...i installed the et9full also...and the overwrote the old kmap with the edited one...i have the right keymap but CAP still does not work and he only finds "fur" and "uber" as an example, although the xT9 German is activated...
Maybe i should just re-install that completely...mh...
EDIT: Did u insert the new kmap as well?
Ohhh alright, no need for the kmap..thats the thing that seems to cause all the interferences But nice that it works now
After I restart my phone, the CAP error is on again and I have no idea why...the keyboard works apart from the bespoken CAP issue...it also doesnt find "uber" and so on anymore...that really sucks...
German T9 not integrated in Ricky's WM61 build

I confirm. Trouble comes back after rebooting the device. It's some kind of funny that german T9 is not inside this rom. Maybe the german guys don't cried loud enough in the past ;-).
Please link this to Ricky's ROM thread. Ricky is a freak and will be able to fix this with V2x. I'm sure.

Yea well that should be cuz the ROM by Kavana isnt actually a WWE yet, and probably only a leaked one from somewhere So either we just wait and see till the official WM6.1 WWE comes out, or Ricky finds a fix for us...so far, we have 3 guys with the problem : RICKY PLEASE HELP US
Me too. The CAP key isn't working so I have to write only with small letters...
Wish a solution for this problem will be available soon. Writing a message without caps are classified as "unfriendly" for a lot of people in Germany.
i'm too
need it for some passwords and business mails
PLEASE fix it
