I need beta testers for this Beta 1 version of the new ROM I'm working on.
There will be a lot of new stuffs in the final release, so it means a lot of work and complications, so I will make it step by step.
This new version will be a mix of all the best components among Hermes ROMs and new ROMs from other devices. This Beta 1 is a basic ROM and will be quite similar to the final Lite version, it is meant to test the stability of this new build.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it "real big storage" like Bepe did, I spent hours and hours working on it, without success, so if anyone managed to make a real big storage ROM please let me know!
I'm listening to your feedback!

Excelent! will report soon...
I can't wait!!!
I feel like a kid getting ready to open a present. Will report back with my findings.

So far very fast, I mean VERY fast, I loaded it out with my usual setup (free storage around 40 MB) and it still is a burner, no issues with stability (yet). I'll see how it holds up when I setup touchflo and work with my corp network.
Wooohooooo !!!
Going to try it cant wait!!!
I will backup all my stuff and download

yep but the only extra (that I can see) is advanced config, no audio manager, home, or any of the extras, you will also need your operator settings for internet access. All basic functions work
Guys before this thread get any bigger i just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that this is a BETA. So there are bound to be bugs in it and as already stated this is the very bare minimum ROM.
So Therefore:
NO MOANING THAT SOMETHING ISNT WORKING RIGHT OR ASKING WHY SOMETHING ISNT THERE!
Bug reports with instructions on how to reproduce - Yes
Pointless Moaning - No
Sound Settings
Schaps
I cannot change my settings in Sounds & Notifications. After making the change I click OK and it just flashes hour glass and then changes back to default settings. I can't get out of the screen without a reset.

I can confirm this same thing is happening. You can get out of the sounds and notif settings by hitting start and today but settings revert back to original. They do not save and exit. This was the first bug that I checked out. Going to do a hard reset to see if it will fix it. Doubt it. I am here for the testing. I love it. Can't test 3G till tomorow on my way to work.
Update: Hard reset did not fix it.
Direct3D
I am testing ... very fast... I loaded few proggies and still fast. Iam wondering if it is all possible to cook in MS Direct3D an X file so it will be able to trigger and open Google Navigator.
There seem to be some issues with activesync. I don't know what it could be but it seems that it hangs sometimes while doing multiple things during activesync and won't stop when you disconnect. I have added WMP today pluggin, VJ Candela, Simulsays Visual Voicemail, the new LiveSearch, and Shogun's palm threaded app.
Oh yeah: Its very fast. Even after what I have put on there so far.
Yay for Schaps! Welcome back, I think I speak for everyone when I say we missed you and your ROM's.
Whilst I would love to help test it I am going to have to sit and wait on the sidelines I'm afraid. I use my phone heavily for work and it needs to be stable and with full functionality.
When you release the Full edition in an Release Candidate version I'll pop by and help with the final testing.
Unless of course there is a way I can image my phone so that I can get it back to the exact way it is now after testing?
Regards and waiting in eager anticipation.

Anyone have problems with phone alarm and wm6. Everytime I soft reset since install in wm6 I get a missed call from (000)000-0000?
Which version are you using (of phonealarm)
No problems here with version 1.58 build 100. Using latest LVSW.
Try running the latest beta version (available on the pocketmax forum)
000-000-0000 is a skype. Unfortunately some networks still allow that number to come in. I got one myself today. Ridiculous because if you block it no one from skype will be able to call you.
I have pa 1.58 (build 100). Can you get a skype number if you don't use skype or have there software installed.
Still getting the missed calls from (000)000-0000. The phone doesnt ring just a notification of missed call. Happens 3-4 time a day now. Anyone have any ideas.

I am having problems with PhonelAlarm and WM6 as well. I'm running the LSVW 26-3 edition without any problems except for PhoneAlarm.
I've tried PA 1.58 (full/lite) and 1.6B9 + 1.6B10 (full/lite) and i've no reminders for missed calls and missed sms (the others i don't use).
I also tried the new app alarmPal 0.3 (which is exactly what i need), but also no luck...
(you find alarmPal (still beta) here: http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=4030.0 )
No notification, no sound ;(
I've searched allready and it seems that a lot of people are running PhoneAlarm on their LVSW Phones without problems. I also made a clean install follwing mrvanx guide and installed PA as my only app, no luck.
Maybe someone running PA could point me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot,
chaos42
Am using PA 1.6 b9 on black 2.0 no problems.
How long does the Beta version last for?
I used 1.58 before and it has "tearing" screen refresh issue. I.e. when I open another program and go back to Today screen, PhoneAlarm graphics are messed up.

Have you tried a different skin? I've read that there are some skins that will work with WM6 and some not, i just can't remember the name ;(
Some people also reported that if you set the startupdelay in the pa-config (~10sec.) helps, followed buy one two or sometimes even three reboots....

Have you revised the profiles for the notifications configuration?
I noted that the default sounds for notifications dosn't are the corrects WAV and WMA in LVSW cause PA came preconfigured to expecific WAVs and VMA . Perhaps this files dosn't exist in the ROM version you are trying, and must to modify to select the correct audio files.
Hope this helps you.

Tried, and it seems to work. the Problem seems to be that PA and alarmPal can not play sounds from the memorycard. What got me confused, is the fact that if you select the specific sound in the pa-settings the sound files are all playing fine, but you can not use them for your reminders...
I fell a little ashamed now, because this was actually the first thing i tried but did not invetigated it deeper, because the sounds were playing fine during setup.
Thanks for your help
Now it is even working with alarmPal
love it!

Never had this kind of bug yet with ROM v3.00.07.14... BT stéréo (a2dp) works perfectly for me.
Moreover, I had more sound cut with lwsv 1.0.1.1 rom.
i dont see anything in the changelog relating to the many bugs i found in 15, to my count there are now about 6 or 7 reported bugs of which 3 require hard-reset to recover from. i have stepped over to Bepe's builds and have no problems so far.
yape me to change to bepe
Me too. I have no time to try it out without changelog just to see the "hanging at boot bug requiring hard reset" again :-(
Sorry, I love PDAVIET Roms (really complete and nice programs included) but without changelog its difficult to convince me to switch away from Bepe.
kind regards
wondering if this version is any faster?
Changelog
Translated the changelog with some help from vietnamese freinds(still needed to geuss some stuff)
PDAVIET says, this is a clean rom, they hope this fixed the reported problems with the software
CE OS 5.2.1620 Build 18125.0.4.2
uses the WM6.0 classic theme
updated to HTC_Touch_UI_HOME_2_0_720719_Kaiser (extracted from the kaiser ROM)
PP=6Mb, free RAM on boot 25-26Mb
EDIT:
Judging from the screenshots this version could actually fix all the previous problems (it looks like batterystatus was removed for now)
I advice everyone who is willing and was having problems to run some tests
I would be willing to try this rom out to test whether probs are fixed, IF, it didnt have the 3g dialer that is on it at the moment. The problem with this dialer skin and some of the others like this is that even if you disable the 3g dialer the standard dialer is still mucked up with the logo and stuff.
The reason i like to use the original dialer is that i like to be able to scroll and click on a contact and then choose which no to phone them on. The 3g dialers when you click the name it dials the last dialed no for them and does not give you the option.
Anyone know if the phone pad in landscape bug its ok know?

Just for info, the 3G Dialer from Duronmarcel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321605 works fine.
You start typing the name, click on the name to see the number (2 line display) and can then change the number to be called using left and right key of D-Pad. I've cooked it into my ROM and at least with my ROM it works that way. Nice design and also working in landscape mode.
Bye.
no more calendar BUG!!!
yay!

After reading yor comments on the ongoing ROM poll, elsewhere on the Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325872
I have to ask what is in store in your new ROM 02 Premier Plus?? Is there a time scale for its' release yet?
I have tried all the ROMS that come and go on these boards and am still very pleased with Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE - Full, I think it is the most stable ROM so far...
Can you spill the beans on your plans...
It will be released over the weekend - final testing now.
Includes updated audiomanager (same skin) but now plays when in standby mode.
Most of the apps are included from artemis touch full including hbutton setup, notem,1 calc lite, tpcmp, xnview pcm keyboard....
The ability to add cube by cab if required (blue design)
Still has 51mb total storage memory and 27mb free program memory after soft reset.
It runs as well as standard version
thx
i am waitting
What a guy, that's what you call a prompt reply.
Looking forward to giving it a spin.

It will be ROM without the cube in default ? And cube will be only separately installable option (cab) ?
From my point of view, it is very good idea !! Cube is nice toy, it is good to amaze friends, but I guess that most of people dont use it. I dont need any cube when I have HTC home ...
I'm looking forward to your new ROM
Hi Meschle
I eagerly await this new rom as your original is my keeper at the moment. A question, you say you are including the CM Keyboard but is the HTC Phonepad staying? For me this is far better for texting and was something I had been wanting scince getting this phone but just couldnt find an app anywhere until I tried your rom (my first), CMKeyboard is very good but still needs some care when using on the move. If not remaining perhaps you can let me know where to get.
Be good to see the new rom, just dont give up life to meet your publics demands
Thanks for your work so far

Heres the htc touch phone pad.
Also i would like to see this rom without touchflo as i read some people including me can't get it to work properly.
other than that this first version rocks big style. i prefered the mms/sms all in one also (i know some dont agree with me but hey, personal prefs)
Last few days - being bed ridden - had all the opportunity to install, re-install and re-re-reinstall all the roms circulating...I finally settled on the O2 Premium ROM - not because - I am not a fan of Tom's - His ROM was fantastic - the Artemis too was superb ! but my preferences lies in the fact that - if I dont use something - no point having on the phone.
My 2 cents on new ROM;s that come up -
The Lite version along with the reduced apps - should also exclude the Cube ! - I have been using the Toms 4.0 for ages and realized that I had next to never used the Cube. The HTC Home page suffices more than ever on that is required instantly.
Secondly - Apps like Acrobat Reader LE - should also be left out - to be installed based on individual preferences - it is 1.38MB in size and can be run from the storage card - so I see no reason to have it on the main memory !
All said and done - I think the ROM's provided by Mark and Tom are great and I applaud their efforts.
The Orbit/Artemis/Dopod - would'nt be the same without their efforts and the support of all their collegues.
Cheers
Dev

You're O2 ROM is my favorite and it's staying on my phone. I would like the audio manager to play in sleep mode, but I just spent 2 days configuring my phone to my liking. Is there a registry edit to make the audio player play in suspend mode or is this somthing that requires the new ROM? If not, I'll live with WMP for now. Excellent ROM man!

OK, ok, I was corious and I try this ROM. I update it with MIRAGE PDA part. It look's good. Seems to be a fast and stable. You have one death link in START-PROG-TOOLS it is manillla 2D. When I try to ALIGN SCREEN there is a unlimited reepet BUG. And You can put in a quick shut down or restart tool. But I have complaint. Can you take out a ORANGE Today part with SIDE menu bar like a separate file that ppl who like it can install indepedently from rom?

Battery meter
OK today I saw a one strange thing too, small battery oscilation. Battery was charge about 60%. After few calls and some use of app, there was 70% charged!
And plz trz to take out a theme from ORANGE rom I really like it.
Thanks
Excellent performance!
Haven't had this ROM for very long yet, but first impressions are that this is (or will be?!) the best i780 ROM yet (and I believe I've tried every one!). It's very snappy with some intelligent tweaks (and a bit of personal preference). Nice job and look forward to the finished article!

Could be because the previous indicator didn't have any % .. thus 1 bar could be +-30%?
Battery
Personally I prefer whatever is different about this battery monitoring! In all other ROMs I have tried, battery status falls off a cliff really quickly, then sits at 30% until it then dies. With this ROM, there seems to be a genuinely smoother depletion profile. Yes, I have seen battery percentage go up at times, but given battery performance often increases with temperature, I do not find this surprising and would prefer point-in-time polling over irregular estimates.
Been running this ROM 24hrs now, loaded all my crap on it, and it still is way faster and more stable than everything I've tried before. Very minor niggles for final release are:
• One of the fonts is basically unreadable (the one used in Comm Manger) - I think this is an HL1/HL2 issue (I've had it on all the other's based on these), but if you can find a way of replacing it?• Gap under keypad - I think there's been a fix for this posted• The Java manager isn't great - can you use the Esmertec one which supports Full Screen etc?• Not sure about that Penguin!
Otherwise - can I reiterate how good a job you've done on this "beta"!

- Fixed Wi-Fi, proxy manager and ring tunes
- Further cleaned up the Samsung/AT&T applications and settings
- Added Enhanced GPS settings and HSDPA setting in control panel
- IE default home page to Google.com
*Mouse pixel rendering is still an issue due to the OEM driver.*
This rom should be one of the best Epix Winmo 6.5.
Buy me a coke!
* Boot on first initialization screen will be slow - I think it's the nature of WM6.5 and also using WM6.1 drivers
* Mouse rendering is still an issue
--Use this rom at your own risk--If you don't know how to flash a custom rom, please ask or else you might ended up with a korean made, hi-tech brick.

This is just the regular english version. I haven't implemented the Chinese capabilities yet.

It's just like all other WM6.5 versions...I did not add anything extra yet.
Downloading now
Thanks for putting so much effort into this.

Can you add the palm threaded messaging when you get the chance ?, because it works really well on my epix. Also, the percentage battery icon from your previous rom kills the battery pretty fast.
Thanks for your hard work

Startup is a little slow, but otherwise it definitely works. Trashcan's the man. Also for anyone wondering the VGA patch works on this ROM, though the menus are still HUGE...
One other thing, device.exe usage is still through the roof after using GPS... ugh..

well that sucks, but not unexpected. The GPS cpu usage is linked to the phone portion of the rom that was updated in ID1. Either way, flashing now and looking to see what's new. (At least I don't have to wait for AT&T/Samsung to push out an update for 6.5)

When I originally flashed the update, no matter what I did I couldn't get the "phone" portion to update so I ended up with a new "pda" version but retained the old "phone" portion. I was pissed at first, but I have none of the device.exe issues, no slog dumps, and things are generally pretty stable. Maybe that's the way to here as well? Use 6.5 with the old radio?
If only those of us with the new radio could reflash the old radio...I still prefer this form factor over the Fuze I'm using now.
The rom is running smoothly, but I noticed that none of the shortcut keys seem to be working and I'm not sure how to get the camera to work. Also, seems to be a little square of distortion in the middle of the screen, or wherever the cursor of the mouse is.
Two quick questions before taking the plunge:
1. Is the process the same as the 'trashcan' 6.1 update but with a different .bin?
2. Can the 6.5 ROM be re-flashed back to the 6.1 with the same process?
Thanks for all the hard work on this!!
GREAT job trashcan! w00t!
Not to seem ungrateful, I'm really excited, but I thought I would compile some of the issues I've found so far, I know some posts have already identified them, but I made a list!
some of the ring tones are corrupt (ring-standard .wma) for instance
when enabling pin lock (required by exchange), the first few times the lock screen comes up it pretty much freezes the phone
graphics buffer corruption where the mouse pointer is
with the high-dpi fix, IE won't start
camera application reports missing dependency
I've noticed connectivity issues - upon boot, everything works, but then the network connection dies and I have to reboot
right after flashing the phone it took about 5 minutes stuck on the orange Windows screen and wouldn't respond to anything, I don't know if this is normal for 6.5 or just because the rom is running a little slow, but hopefully everyone who is gonna flash will read this and know to expect it

Yeah hopefully they finish that new gdmfing phone rom, supposedly they're aware of the issue and are supposed to redo the ID1 update.
As far as the ROM: Only real issue i've noticed is sometimes switching screens there's a graphical artifact in the middle of the screen, it's like a box where the pixels render screwed up, like there's something "layered" behind the window messing up how it draws the image, if you get what I'm saying. Edit: it's the mouse pointer as others pointed out, didn't see page 2, I use 4 way nav instead of pointer but the pointer seems to still "be there" in the background. I also noticed the initial boot took AGES, but it's decently quick now.

These are 2 questions I would also like to know. Also does anybody have any link for the program to flash the bin file? I've never done a non official rom for my Epix yet, but this one looks like a gooden.
1. Yea, same procedure
2. I don't see any reason why you couldn't go back to 6.1, although I haven't tried
3. I used grandprix 1.6.4 on win7 (vista version)

I downloaded the program to flash and it looks pretty straight froward. But I would like to confirm the steps before I do it and brick my phone. I see you have to select a profile, then it will let you select the image. Select the image in PDA, and then do I leave the others blank? Also after that I'm kind of lost a bit... Sorry I'm a n00b on this. I've done the older Cingular 8525 and the Blackjack but that be about it.
That is what I did exactly. I chose the BIN in PDA, left the others blank. Then turn off the phone, plug into USB, click the "Detect" button, and turn phone back on. Then....wait. The program froze on me at Writing Fake CSC Header, so I ripped out the USB after a while and tried to turn it off and back on. And BAM: WinMo 6.5
