[CHATTER THREAD] WM XDA Live v0.20.x

Here is where everyone can have general chatter and conversation about WMXL v0.20.x
To be honest, I'll spend most of my time in the REPORT ISSUES thread but please don't clutter that thread. I will check in here from time to time.
​

Expected release 8pm GMT -6. Thats around 1am GMT+10 (THU) for me. Time to make an espresso.
On a serious note, your efforts are appreciated.
Now if my wife can stop nagging me it will be the icing on the cake.

Clean release
Thanks for the work!!!!
Do you have plans to release a clean release without phm and all the other apps installed....
(just pulling down 0.20 now!! Will test the sms voicemail notification issue to see if exists in this rom..)

I'm to be the first one.
Downloaded. Installing.

Got the ROM, now all I need is to get back to England, collect my repaired phone and start playing again...
Thanks for the great work - suggest you get some well deserved rest before all the questions start coming in (can I flash back to WM5 etc etc)

already done...beat ya

They forgive, but after all already hard is corrected with hard reset

I don't remember WM5 having this but yes apparently with WM6 you can increase Free Storage Memory by stripping out files.
I noticed this when after I embedded Adobe Acrobat. That is why I released two Roms. I actually flashed an older (RTM) WM6 Rom which had an insane amout of Free Storage Memory, like 62mb but there were no office files and I didn't bother looking into that else was missing...
Still planning on a clean Rom. I want to let this one run for a few days first to see if I broke anything new in it . The Beta team didn't find anything major or new but we only ran on it for a few days so that you guys could get your hands on it.
CCRDude said:
does the different "Free Storage Memory" actually mean that the storage space the user has later on to install software is affected by what is installed in the ROM? I thought that I had read that all this pre-installed stuff wouldn't.

For some reason It will not let me flash my T-Mobile UK Vario2 to your 0.20.
The program detects my current ROM, then when I click "Update" it says "Verifying the information on your Hermes" for around 30 seconds. After that an error prompt saying "Error 260 : Update Error"....
Any Ideas?

Nice.... Loading it now... I'll Let you know.. Thank you so much Kyphur...

Rom for HTC 8525

I just updated my at&t 8525 and well i got the i guess official rom its kinda laggy on my phone which is alright but ive uploaded some programs on it and i got my sms threaded which im loving just wondering what would be a good rom for it and would it be the same affect as me updating the official one so i dont brick my phone and mess it up cause there too much to be getting a new one thanks in advance for any help

If you want one that is simple, safe, and made for at&t, you should go with VP3Gs last rom. Its nice, and stable.

Holy Repeat Noob thread openers batman
Jeez how many of these threads are we gonna see? Someone should count them and keep track for the noobs!

Ya, and its always people with the 8525 lol.
I would use Binkys or MRH if I were you, thats what I use on my 8525. But in reality with SPB Mobile Shell you can use almost any ROM which is what im doing now.

yes guys i am a noob i just would like to get my 8525 goin good for me im sorry for the stupid noob ? but i just feel that the official rom does not perform that great. can anyone tell me where to download these roms at

We were all noobs at one time. You need to read this first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
It explains everything you need to know to flash ROM's. Then you will need to flash many different ROM's and see which one has what you want. No ROM is the same, and everybody wants something a little different.

Hmmm

I havent tried the new ROM that he just posted but I flashed his rom on the 17th of June and it was SLOOOOW... I mean really slow - boot menu etc and it also sucked the battery down fast w.o WIFI and BT on. Really buggy for me. So, I switched back to a Schaps win 6.0 Rom - stable for now. But if you say this new one works pretty good and is stable, I will give it another shot.
Also, I cannot find out how to fix my QUERTY effin Keyboard. The blue buttons are all effed up - i.e. @ is ? etc... I have seen people talk about this encounter, but I do not know how to fix it. Has this happened to you at all? If so, do you know how to fix it?

so if i get one of these other roms i gotta flash it is there not any already on here made for the 8525 thats already flashed for cingular i mean im not getting this

I'm running his version in my signature and it is fantastic.
With his rom there is a utility that lets you change the keyboard settings. It's called Advanced Config or something like that.

Everyone was a noob sometime .. does it mean we shouldnt help?
I cant talk for AT&T but I use CRC v11 .. very good
Remember most importantly step 1 is to use HARDSPL V7 this will prevent your mobile phone becomming a brick. You can find details about flashing and hardspl in MRVANX's sticky at the top of this forum.
Good luck .. become an expert and give back to the community.

Schaps advanced config .. search and you will find it v2.1.0.0

so is there any unofficial roms out there that are faster and stable then then official one that is already flashed i mean what do i have to do just explain it to me i gave up a iphone for this and its alot better but iw anna make it faster

Ok
Step 1 : Read Mrvanx guide on how to HARDSPL your phone (and do it)
Step 2 : Load CRC's V11 rom
Step 3 : Enjoy
You will have to read MRvanx post
You will have to read CRC's post

Anyone tested out the radio yet?

I installed it, stopped customization and then ran my dcd carrier cab.
So far so good, seems to be pretty responsive. For me its more responsive then some recent custom roms I've ran. No issues with the calls or with data. I'll report if anything comes up.

Can you flash just the radio using the SD card?? I have a Titan, but my friend has the Vogue..... I have the radio that was posted on the Titan upgrade forum by DCD, can this be flashed to his Vogue??

This new Bell ROM is simply THE BEST one I have tried. Now granted I am a Bell customer but this ROM gets a GPS lock faster then any of the other ones I have tried.

Hi folks,
During the rom update, do we need to let the customization runs or soft reset before ?
Thank you

question new to the whole rom upgrading dealy
would the bell 6.1 upgrade interfere with my verizon service and whatnot?

Yes. I just let 'er rip. Lost a lot of cool utilities but well worth the pain of finding them again. GPS lox in seconds. Indoors! It's a beautiful thing. No more waiting 10 minutes for GPS. No worries about upgrading from a non-Bell rom, either.
(i am a Bell customer)

Can I use the ROM to my HTC Touch. I do not use Bell. I'm from Bangladesh and use a local provider here. So what you suggest, should I proceed with that?

Should be fine, just don't let the customization run. Be sure to take down all of your settings before you flash too, incase they are lost.

Can someone put the file on rapidshare or some other server. The HTC link to download the file is saying "not found" now.

official bell 6.1 update
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have a new Alltell Touch, I lost my old modded one as far as Alltel is concerned. I downloaded the new Bell rom because i want the upgraded radio. I unlocked my phone using Cokeman's unlocker and tried to flash to the Bell rom. It gets to 31% and stops and will not go any further, when I retry it gives me an "Invalid Vendor ID" error. I am able to reflash back to the original Alltel rom with no problem. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? I'm not new to this and I'm getting my arse handed to me by this phone, lol.

HELP! I installed the rom update and I have gps, threaded text messaging and everything but I don't have the "slide panel" interface signature to windows mobile 6.1! why not?

Are you sure you are using a vogue and not an elf? Do they have CDMA in Bangladesh, I would assume it would be GSM.
IF you are using GSM you can't flash that rom.

Windows Mobile 6.5 For Treo 700wx - Update 6-5-2009

This thread will be used for the development of my 6.5 rom for the 700wx.
Let the cooking begin!
Update 6-5-2009:
I'm going to be on vacation for the next week. Please watch for new posts to this thread in case joojoobee666 makes some more progress on our little display driver issue.

Ok guys, here's the scoop. After many...MANY failed ROM's, a bricked phone brought back to life (thanks to NightRaven's awesome knowledge of the 700wx for saving my test phone), lot's of tears and cries of anguish there is still no working ROM, but we have made some progress.

joojoobee666 said:
We finally got confirmation today that the hang on boot is being caused by the OEM ddi.dll display driver. We have tried all the ddi.dll we could find in the publicly available Carrier sanctioned ROMs, but no matter which one we use, gwes.exe hangs on boot. Today we managed to procure a copy of ddi_nop.dll (it's basically a dummy display driver) and used it in place of ddi.dll. Windows Mobile 6.5 did indeed boot, but at the cost of no display. Since there is no display, we are unable to tell what else may be wrong.
So, this is an update and a call out to anyone who is willing to help. We are looking for anyone who can:
a.) offer a ddi.dll from any Intel PXA27x based device, and preferably a msm6500 chipset as well
b.) has a NEWER 700w/700wx ddi.dll than the Sprint 1.15 ROM or VZW 1.24 ROM
c.) has the skills to debug the one we have and figure out why it hangs any gwes.exe above 20273.
I'm sure once we get past this part there will be other bugs to work out, but one hurdle down is better than the none.
Finally...PROGRESS!

Update: The emulator image is almost complete. There are issues with file attributes which are causing some problems. Right now, you are unable to change the theme, delete files, or change network settings. These are the same issue I ran into on the 6.1 rom. It should only take a few days to work through the issue. I'll post what I have finished so far.

I've installed SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 and 2.1 for my nephew as an eye candy but they have been buggy to say the least.
I've been using the WM6.5 on my Touch Pro and my nephew really wants it in his phone.

Yup, I've been a lurker for the longest time, and my first post was in anticipation for this 6.5 rom. Go NR!

So hows the cooking going NR..................I have been looking at 6.5 ...and it looks great ...ya think you can get it running on the 700 wx?????

Is it possible to make the WM6.5 version have two versions? one with activesync (normal one), and one with activesync REMOVED? because the KeepAlive hack doesn't work .. I am having it conflict with the USB modem and the ##DIAG port.
Also does the WM6.5 IE 6.1 (I think) fix the graphics corruption issues when scrolling webpages with the stylus?
TIA

any update on the 6.5 for the wx ?? waiting patiently

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The 700wx seems to have enough rom and ram. However, I am still having trouble getting it to boot. I need to find a solid XIP. The search continues...

Anyone else here know how to cook a rom? I need more people to help with this project. I am still having trouble getting 6.5 to boot on the 700wx. It is still hanging on the welcome screen. I know the SYS and XIP are good, so I'm leaning towards it being an incompatability in the OEM.
If anyone want's to help, I'll post my kitchen as it is so far. If you can help, PM me...

Hello all....
I just picked up a TP2 yesterday.....and i wanna get into tinkering with it.....
i have a g1 with a custom rom, and i also had an htc dash that i installed a rom on.....i know that stock doesnt always give the best performance so i want some suggestions....
basically im looking for a rom that has speed, stability and looks nice....my phones on 6.1 .......so can you guys point me in the right direction?
ohh...and ive notice the screen isnt as responsive on the tp2 as on my g1....i know theyre different (resistive/capacitive) ....can any of the roms improve the screen responsiveness? just askin.....
and thanx again ppl

That's the specifications page for the unbranded (european) version. There are several GSM-only models, mostly for use in the US.

Energy ROMs are my favorites. They look really nice with good features thrown in. Unfortunately, I'm sticking with 6.1 since it's the fastest, most stable, with the most available memory. Need to do a lot of multitasking so the bling bling just wasn't working for me.

This is VERY interesting. Now there is a branded WM6.1 (tim) version on my HTC. But I could consider to leave this rom. Have you done some trustworthy tests for a long time?
Anyway if I decide to update with a new rom, I should use HardSPL. I downloaded this program but my avira antivirus flash up a warning message: can I really trust in HardSPL? Or is there any trojan that I'll could inject inside my Rhodium?

Lets put it this way, if you don't have Hard SPL and you aren't CID unlocked then you will very quickly have a beautiful new shiny Rhodium paper weight.
Hard SPL allows non-carrier specific roms to be loaded... Without it you won't get far...
Had the same problem with my antivirus, you will need to disable it while running Hard SPL, and you will still need to be connected to the net.
As for the Roms, YOU need to read about them then decide whats right for you. Everyone you talk to will recommend a different rom but your circumstances will play a big part in the rom you choose... It doesn't help that every other day a new rom comes out.
Cheers...

Don't get me wrong. 6.5 ROMs work really well, I just had some issues with a particular software that I needed to use in most cases. But 6.1 does have more memory.
