dcd 1.67 and symbols on keyboard - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Hi folks. I finally got dcd 1.67 installed properly and is working very well with radio 1.47, no lock ups after 3 days.
However, when composing an email or text; ive lost the special symbols on keyboard (blue dot + tab) and (blue dot + space). All other buttons work fine.
Love this rom!!

Did you do a hard reset after installing the ROM? Do you already have a bunch of programs installed and reg hacks?
I installed this a couple of days ago and my symbols all work. I'v installed all of my programs and favorite reg hacks and it's still working.
If you haven't loaded too many apps on it yet, I'd try to do a hard reset and then test it out before loading any apps. Then after each program you install try the symbols to see which program or reg hack is causing the problem.
If none of that helps, and It is still a problem, you should post this in the thread about the ROM so it gets recognized as a potential problem.
just a suggestion,
It's the best ROM I've installed yet!!

i think hes referring to the symbol pad, and i think i forgot to include it.
ill see if i can cab it.

thanks dcd for looking into it. Yes keyboard is working fine, just cannot access special characters.

I'm sorry, I missed that you were talking about the on screen symbols. I never use it, but it's good to know.
I'm wrong again!! I guess I need that to enter file paths in the registry editor, since there's no "\" on the keyboard.

A cab would be awesome dcd!! Your rom is great otherwise, I just find myself missing a few symbols every now and again

i rebuilt 1.6.7 to include the symbol pad. sorry for overlooking it the first time. it is updated in the thread.
later i will look at making a cab. dotn know if its possible.
edit: heres a cab. i have not tested it and it may or may not work.

WM6 for charmer ?! Finnaly?

http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-314364-1-1.html
Look there. I'm not as much experienced as many of you are, therefore I'm asking you first. Is this really wm6 charmer rom?
i don't know, i'm not speeking japanese
well, seems to be...will try today, hope rom will not be japanese :-D
ok nocturne, hoping it will work if so, I'm definatelly gonna have some questions for you
well, just flashed WM6 five minutes ago. something you have to know:
1) this ROM IS wm6 finally !!!
2) YES, this ROM is realy WORKING WM6, including radio rom, camera, bluetooth (maybe it's behaviour is a little bit strange, maybe it is problem of my poor old MA700 bluetooth, which i'm running on Vista - it has never run well even on xp )
3) does not looks to be as fast as some debranded roms with wm5, but seems to be extremly fast as it is in beta stage. fast as roms filled with tmobile junk, if i could compare
4) ActiveSync 4.5 and Viasta's WMDC seems to be working much faster
5) windows update included inside wm6 is looking to do something
6) standart feautures of WM seems to be working correctly...does not look to be somehow special in this way
7) system startup is REALLY FAST - nearly like old iPAQs are...well, not as fast, but it is twice faster than WM5
Finally - this ROM seems to be...hmmm...somehow...little bit...chinese :-(
Willl provide more info if my employer will not kill me - this is not a testing machine, but the only phone i have :-D home I'll survive few days with chinese OS....
nocturne, come on ICQ, waiting for you there
so it's only in chinese
yes, I flashed this rom as well. It works in 100%. We're (me and nocturne) trying to figure out how to replace mui files now so to make it an WWE version.
oh,really cool guys.
It will be possible to donwgrade to a WM5 after the upgrade?
of course.
Working well
Well, I have flashed the ROM as well (2007-03-14_Charmer_WM6_OS_MSYH_Clean_Consam_xBeta) and I think it is very fast (seems to me being faster than all WM5 ROMs I have tried). Chinese is the only "problem", will test it more.
Guys, hope you will manage the translation. Good luck.
EDIT: The only thing not working is Contacts application. Does anyone has the same problem? The applications does not even start.
Radek
no problems with contacts app - but is not mapped to common contact button, that's the only problem i see. calendar is not mapped to its button as well.
have look at smartdialing - it is excellent, finaly no problems using czech characters, no more tweaknig dll's necessary
for the first look, a havedecided that this rom does not contain word, excell etc - my info was wrong. they are just grouped into "office mobile" icon...
some strange behavior still remains - i have lost icons for notes and two other (unknown) apps. their link from program targets some help file, of course chinese running notes executable directly works well - it's strage. i have none application installed as i want to test stability of basic OS, not third party applications...
P.S.: still charmed by fast system bootup, reseting again and again just to se if next bootup will be as fast as previous :-D
Well, I know that it's not mapped to the button. But the application is not running, seems that it's starting but stops immediately. Well, Contacts app is the most important one for me So I revert to WM5 again and wait for other ROM. By the way, which ROM are you using, because there were 4 ROMs to download?

Is this ROM originally really Chinese?
Guys when I look into \Windows folder there are many DLL files with .0804 extension. Doesn't that mean that the ROM is originally not Chinese? If I'm not wrong, those extensions are used for translated files (MUI). Other interesting thing is that there are many english file names, eg. in \windows\AppButtons.
What do you mean about that?
melvincz: you could be right. I'm not 100% sure though. Don't even try to delete those files, you're system will freeze at 1st or 2nd splashscreen.
I flashed the 2007-03-24 rom_plus_consam and the contact application works fine for me.
download mirror
can you upload this rom to rapidshare or somewhere else. my download speed from china is terrible. thanks
uploading... will be done in like an hour
Would that be including the English mui files by chance?

Symbol pad - gone? WM6

I've recently upgraded my MDA Vario II (on T-mobile UK) to Windows Mobile 6 Pro Black Edition 3.0.1.
Very pleased with it so far apart from one issue.
The symbol pad no longer seems to work. I can bring up the about screen, but when I select it I get the soft keyboard. Anyone else having the same problem? Is there a fix? I'd quite like to be able to use the £ symbol!
I've looked at the Wiki and searched the forums without luck, although I am a newbie

This is known bug of black 3.01, even if I installed transcriber back (I suspect removal of transcriber causes the glitch), the feature did not reappear. Said so, it works in other WM6 ROMs without problems (tested). If you want to input additional symbols via hardware keyboard you can edit sym.409.txt residing in your windows folder and add this symbol to one of the buttons on hw keyboard (I use this method to input slovak special characters like ľščťžýá... and so on). Or you can wait for a newer release of black (due this week) and hope glitch is gone or try one of the other ROMs.

Many thanks for replying. I'll keep an eye out for the new release but I do quite fancy mapping the keyboard to include a £ sign too so will look in to that.

You can always try this cab below it is the HTC phone pad and includes the symbols and a T9 dictionary. It can be activated in keyboard options and will work fine until a fix is available.

AP 5.0 Beta

READ everything before downloading please!
This is most likely the first beta(unless the moon turns blue and this beta is flawless) of the new AP 5.0 rom
its late at night and i will probably get a more detailed version of this and a vanilla uploaded tommorow but here is the run down:
most issues from 4.0 fixed hopefully.
new config app is in the works but didn't make it for this beta.
pretty much everything has been updated to latest and includes all working apps from the diamond rom.
album should now be reliable. haven't seen any problems with it coming up yet*knock on wood*
no manila sip since that changed the whole dialog stuff when composing emails and such. probably will end up as a cab in final with option to turn on and off the manila suggestions that replace the microsoft ones.
other things i dont remember
THIS IS FOR SPL 3.5 ONLY!!! IT IS A FULL ROM ALSO AND A BETA
please test app compatibility. also i tried to fix the realvga issues but it seems impossible without cmonex or creator of realvga.
one issue i would like to challenge someone to fix: a dialog should come up when connecting usb that should ask if u want to connect to activesync or mass storage mode. the exe for that dialog works(htcusbtopcdialog.exe or something like that in windows folder) but the dialog doesn't show up. browny points for the one who figures this out.
now here is the rom(remember this is for spl 3.5 only): DOWNLOAD SPL 3.5 ONLY
*note: sorry i had to say spl 3.5 so many times(still probably isn't enough) but i need to make sure some idiot doesnt try this with the old spl 1.XX*
Pawel
Can you make a Vanilla on the old spl please please please please? I don't want to repartition the memory unnecessarily, as it severely limits my ROM options.
Thanks!

dont worry there will be one. it was decided it was no good to do it for AP4 now, but AP5 WILL have one from day one. you have my guarantee for that
p.s.: I meant the final version above, but the beta will also have one tomorrow.

ssd upgrade?
will this rom support ssd upgrade from the poor microdrive?
can you flash from sdcard or is it just desktop only with this?
EDIT: appears desktop only, the 3.5bootloader keeps saying image not found, tried a few variations of ATHEIMG.nbh but no avail such as ATHE100.nbh ATHIMG.nbh ATHE100IMG.nbh
Cmonex, do you know what image name the new spl looks for?
Flashing With Microsd.....
hey all,
just a note, i have spl 3.5 on my x7501 and have flashed 4 different variations of cooked roms now, including AP 3.0 and a few others, and all from microsd... the only one i have found that WILL NOT flash from microsd is AP 4.0, as i cannot find a .nbh file after extracting the .exe (but it may be possible)...
Anyways, sorry i cannot say for sure that you can flash THIS rom yet as i havent tried it, but you CAN flash from microsd/minisd with spl 3.5 as long as the file name is ATHEIMG.nbh --- ONLY! (as far as i know)
hi
no comments, no screenshot from the 1st users ?
is it possible for you to make a version of AP 5.0 beta without all the extra programs in system and programs menu. Thank's
So far so good. AP5 Seems to be faster than AP4. Installing softwares now. I like the new volume control. Will keep posted.
Playing with it now, thanks a lot again to all!!
Looks very sleek and is definitely a lot quicker than AP4!
I like the new comm manager, but after switching to 128dpi it became unresponsive...
Tapping on any of its icons (WiFi, bluetooth etc.) simply makes it disappear...
Will report more later...
Cheers

Nope that doesn't work here with either ap4 Irus' 3.5spl rom or ap5.
-------
In the end I installed at work, as I found a cable in with one of the cameras.
seems much faster that ap4. not felt need to start tweaking too much yet..
Initial thougts, startmenu is set too big for initial load in 192dpi, might be best to turn it off set it smaller for initial run.
new htc home still prevents igo8 from starting. turn it off reboot and works fine.
Replaced htc home with UL and rltoday combo for speed and reliability.
new task manager and popup screen for system state is nice, when you press the new funky icons at the top. turned off task manager and use WKtask though instead as more functional.
Not checked yet what the buffer setting for the SD card is, on AP4 I set it to 256 as larger files loaded faster. But seems good so far.
Can write large files to MD without it corrupting, so maybe it was something in AP4 that was causing it.
Nice big buttons to press to answer calls!
Overall vast improvement.
FWIW i'm sticking with 192dpi for the time being as I like S2P and S2U2 which I'm about to install.
update, as typing had problem #1.
screen locked on incoming call, this was 3rd call I've had but 1st problem. had total commander open and flexmail (but not syncing). Not certain what caused it, can turn off screen with power button so device not hard locked, but reset with pinhole and it's working again.
Tested incoming call after reset with no issues, if I get it again I'll see if I can work out why.
Testing AP5 BETA
I have installed the AP5 beta this morning and it is working great. So far i have found only one change needed. But that is not an issue with using this rom. The first screen after reset is shows "Smart mobility, Featuring AP4" and it should say AP5.
Bluetooth, Wifi, and other software problems which we had in the AP4 are gone . It is a very good work by AP team. Thanks to all.
Before you release the AP5 can you please update the WKTask to version 1.173c which is the latest.
Anyone struggling with AP4 SPL 3.5 should try this. You will love it. Once again Thanks for the AP Team. Some screenshots from my device with AP5 Beta
Opera 9.5 build 781 with AP5 not working
I installed Opera 9.5 build 781 in AP5. It installed without problems, but I couldnt open Opera. Anybody else have the same problem ?.
Other softwares I tried and are working fine are
SPB Diary, SPB Finance, SPB Wallet, SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, Pocket Informant 8, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, Resco Keyboard and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks again for the ROM.
Thanks once again for your work.
New icon of Bluetooth in the bar of tasks.
New icon of 3g and bar of signal
It does not turn the single screen?
Good bare speed (Far better for my pleasure)
New system of tasks… when pressing on the icons in the bar of tasks appears to us a screen to use with the fingers… half strange… will be necessary to be accustomed….
Garmin XT follows without working. Why... Why....????
Bye!!!!

i hope so to. I would much rather make this rom as a community then by myself
Irus and Michy,
Both of you are my heroes. Thank you. I'm aware however of some errors and speed problem of the original chinese version, and am waiting for the "stabilisation version " atm. I'm currently using mutou version 1 which is fast and no serious bug. Good that you have gained the expertise to do the translation, as we can then do it for all future non-english ROM.
Irus, don't worry about so many ROMS. You've given us more choices, that's all. We thank you for these. Keep up the good work!
Irus and Michy,
Can you put back the standard keyboard and remove the chinese SIPs? If we can fix the setting to turn off auto-rotate and have touchflo setting it will be sweet. Also, for some reasons, my Sprite backup does not work. All these were among the problems in the chinese version.
Okay, I tried out the spl1.2 Translated (into English) version of Mutou's ROM.
First, I checkd through the settings and noted the following:
1. In the power setting, there are three tabs with names called "10 sec", "30 sec" and "1min". I think the correct name for them should be "External Battery", "Internal Battery", and "Backlight brightness" or similar wording.
2. TouchFLO setting is all messed up.
3. Soft key setting are still in Chinese. I think we should either remove this, or have it in English.
4. Auto-rotate setting still does not respond.
5. A4 keyboard should be completely removed and replaced by the standard keyboard
6. We should hide extended-ROM2
7. I can't find camera application, However, I am able to start the camera if I use the picture viewer program. The problem, however, is that all the usual camera settings such as choosing the mode, resolution, etc, are not responding to user actions.
8. When I tried to set up my data service provider's setting, I noticed that it only has ability to set up dialed up modem, so I'm unable to test any 3G data connection.
9. SMS services setting gives a blank screen.
10. Although the start menu has a link to phone, phone application does not exist. I can't start a dialer. However, I am able to go to the contact application and make a call, although I'm then unable to end the call since there is no dialer.
11. The Notes application does not start.
12. Camera application started via the picture viewer does not offer the opportunity to use microdrive as storage, although microdrive is functioning properly.
13. Window Media Player does not produce any sound.
14. After using the device for a while, the device stop producing sound although Sound Setting has checked the bottom two entries.
At this point, I installed my wktask and FtouchSL.
Then, all applications stop working, wherease the file explorer was working before this. Contact applicaion no longer could start. Calender could not start, and shows an error saying "No program memory availalble. Tap Start>Settings>system tab>memory , stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again". Actually no program is running yet. I then uninstalled both wktask and Ftouchsl. The ROM does not seem to allow it to be successfully removed.
At this point, I could not proceed any further.
Good try though, at least most of the text are in English now. Looking forward to the second attempt.

Hullo Michy,
If you managed to solve these issues, would you avail it for both spl's..1.2 & 3.5
Cheers
for now, i have fixed smsservice and backlight issue + standard virtual keyboard input.
You can solve this on your ppc with overwriting file in attached zip in /windows folder and import the keyboard.reg registry file.
Then reboot...
I cant fix more for now...
have a problem
i can not run the Phone in the Programs menu.

There is'nt a need to pursue this further, because the purpose of the translation is to get something like what is shown in your link. Thank for the effort.
Sergiopi, I recommend that the translated ROM link in your ROM list thread be removed because they are still very half baked.

[16-06-2009] Max's Neon ROM Test (WM6.5 Build 21500)

Massive thanks to jerpelea (wouldn't have gotten anywhere close without him).
I'm back! This new version is based on the fantastic Insomnia NIKI Kitchen, using WM6.5 Build 21500 and OEM Iolite/mishmash. As I made this version for my personal use, it is FULL of applications - if you don't like applications installed from the start, don't download it!
Warning: This ROM is for testing only and has been prepared by a complete cooking noob (me). I cannot guarantee any results for you or your phone and this may end up screwing things up COMPLETELY . Install at your own risk.
Having said that, it works very well on my NEON200 (Touch Dual 850), much better than any other ROM I have tried and even better than the old 6.1 version.
Make sure you have installed the Neon Hardspl (thanks Olipro) before you even remotely consider installing this.
Known Issues:
- DEVICE ID Reports as NIKI100 (I am still trying to figure out the XIP stuff)
- The camera hardware button does not work
- The camera autofocus doesn't work properly (messed up the some of the files I copied I think) so it takes a few seconds to shoot.
- Hardware keyboard doesn't work properly. It thinks that it is a 16key version.
Anyway, give it a go if you are game and let me know how it goes. It is a hundred times more finger friendly than the WM6.1 ROMs (which is the whole point of the touch phones).
I only do this in my *very* spare time, so I'm sorry in advance if I don't update often. I can say that I am very happy with the ROM as it is (never use the keyboard or camera), so it may be quite while before I update.
Download the new WM6.5 ROM here.
Old version (WM6.1 Build 21109) can be downloaded here if you want it for some reason.
Well done, looks nice. Everything works. Camera is good, text works, after calling t-mobile internet connects. Reception is fine, battery does not get hot. Although, instead of having a box with an x in the middle of it at far right corner, i have just an x. It takes a little more effort closing out of an application. Good job again.

Great stuff.
Are you having any other issues? Does the keyboard work 100%?

I was just about to edit my post Keyboard does not work at any time. Also when recieving a voicemail, i tap and trys to connect. But says that phone call cannot be made at this time.
I've had no issues with voicemail...
Have you tried installing the latest Ezinput from the first post? Do you have 20-key device?
Perhapsthe Voicemailis something i need to set up with T-mobile.Yep, got the touch keyboard working with the install No keypad though.
Edit: Yes, camera button does not work.
I'm gonna load it up now and give it a shot.
I can't find the SIP task in task manager to kill it before installing the .cab.
Also can't get online because it is configured for Telestra (I imagine I can fix that easily). The "Setup Connection" app in settings closes immediately. That is how I used to setup my internet/phone provider stuffs.
Edits.
Ok...oddly enough after I updated my internet settings the 'task manager' and a few other apps showed up. That allowed me to kill the SIP and load the keyboard.
Overall this ROM is fast! Very happy with it so far. Can't wait till it is finished.
PS - I can't use my hardware keyboard either. Even with the SIP update. On screen works perfect.
I have NEON300 US version. If I decide to upgrade, can I reset back to factor default? Or is once upgrade, no turning back? I have Build 19209.1.0.2 version now on my phone.

I haven't found a packaged default ROM. You might wanna see if he releases one once he gets this build worked out. I would love to get a copy of your default rom before you upgrade it. I think I lost mine 2 laptops ago. Once you load the HardSPL you can go back, however you need the default ROM to do so. There isn't a backup / restore utility as far as I know.

Let me know if you need help with this.
Voice Mail (T-Mobile)
I havn't been able to figure out how to change the voicemail number from the Telestra default, but if you dial "123" with a T-Mobile sim card, it will send you to your voicemail account. Just a little tip I thought might help.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I thought it was just an issue I had to call t-mobile about. Thanks
SMS
I have een having issues with SMS. When I try to send a text, I get an error message saying that my message can not be sent, that I need to subscribe to the service. I flashed back to Seths V2 rom and every thing worked fine. Any ideas?
BTW, don't know if any one needs it, but here is a cab that works great for reconfiguring internet stuff for T-Mobile or AT&T
I Just found this link. Says it is for the Neon 200 US, but my device still says 300. Any how, looks exactly like the Ship Rom as I remember it.

You can change it by editing:
1) Modelname.txt in OEM/OperatorPkg
2) nbhgen.txt in Tools/Htools
I've Changed nbhgen.txt to NEON200 and a different version number, but when I flash it still says NIKI100 and the old version number. I have also changed the CID in OS.nb.payload, still no luck.

Change the name in modelname.txt in oem/operatorpkg
Also change mixupdate_oemversion_100.provxml in same folder.
os.nb.payload content will get overwritten when the ROM is built.
Thanks for mixupdate_oemversion_100.provxml - that has the version info in it (also edited easily via registry). It was missing from my kitchen.
modelname.txt simply has "Touch Dual" (which is OK) in it. That file doesn't let me change NIKI100 to NEON200.
If you check my .nbh in a hex editor it displays "NEON200", yet upon flashing it still displays the device as NIKI100...
