Everything works smoothly with the OS. However 3G DID NOT WORK before or after the upgrade on the device we tested (a radio issue??)
....if anyone has it working, plz let me know which radio you have.
Applications such as TouchFlo, etc., are installed by using the Device Updater. I like this feature the most, as it leaves the ROM itself 'lite'.
Applications outside of the Device Updater repository I recommend:
HardSPL_v7
IMGChangeFont
SIPConfig Tool
CommManager3G
Touch Cube
Directly download the blue ones, others will be attached below.
THIS IS A BETA ROM - PLEASE POST ANY ISSUES..... I WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND.... AND PLEASE USE HardSPL v7 TO AVOID BRICKING
and TO FIX BAD BLOCKS !!!
HERE'S MY ROM (updated link)
Thanks to everyone who made this possible and especially to 'Josh' for his kitchen.

Sweet, another chef in the kitchen...
Will try out soon..
Just one thing though, you will probably find this post moved to the WM06 thread as that is where all new roms are found.
Cheers...

WOW Congrats on the new rom sir!!

I get following on download link
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.
To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector's Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector's Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information.

i've a problem........it's all ok but camera doesn't work!!

camera
The camera worked on our test device, the 8525. Is that what you installed it on??
Please give more details. Can you bring up the application? Have you tried taking a photo by pressing the center joystick?
The regular customer I have also had trouble operating the camera until I showed him he could snap pictures by pressing the joystick.
I can only tell you what worked for us.
PLEASE NOTE, YOU NEED A NEW PHONE SKIN FOR VIDEO CALLS. You could try this one. Let me know if it works.

Didn't try that one yet (tonight), but the Video Phone Dialer from "Jasjamming's" Black Satin seems to work great with it so far!

Is this Rom work properly on the jas Jam
In terms of performance and the strength of the battery and commentary​

Please help
Hello every body ,
When I tried to download the link http://rs717.rapidshare.com/files/211502307/wm_6.5_hermes_v1.zip ,
It seemed to me it is impossible to download the file through Rapidshare (I think there is a problem in the servers of my country ), could any one help to download it from another filesharing website instead of rapidshare, please , please please .

error (270)
When I start upgrading my Hermes withis ROM it goes to 1% after that an error appears
(error [270] : update error the image file os corrupted . please check your update utility ) , I don't know is it from the bootloader or ????
Please help me guys ...

Great Job!
Okay, I just want to tell you that I'm having the time of my life with this new build. You have done a fantastic job!!

Good. I am happy to hear that. If you have any suggestions for future builds please let me know !!
Do you have 3G working?? BTW If anyone needs VoIP in a country where SIP is blocked, I have a good IAX softphone that works over 3G using the GSM codec. I working on setting up some Asterisk servers and will be able to offer termination/biliing soon

This is great! Today i installed wm 6.5 on my SPV M3100 and everything works OK. Right now I am using device update to install more applications. This is cool stuff..
Thanx for your coocking...

Great Rom.
Works great but having turned off and then had dinner went to turn phone on and the htc screen hangs.
Trying a hard reset.
Fingers crossed as this really looks great.

If your screen hangs you may have bad blocks on the drive. Try upgrading to HardSPL v7 to fix them, if you haven't done so already...

I bought my TyTn more than 1y ago second hand and i've been running Schaps Theme 2.54 ever since without even knowing it and I am trying your ROM as the first upgrade ever done by my hands. so far so good, everything went smoothly and I must say it's an excellent piece of work and that i'm absolutely loving the WinMo Black theme.
However, i have some comments/questions:
1 - after boot, upon getting to the PIN-dialing screen i just get the top bar and no keyboard nor buttons image, i have to type my SIM PIN by guessing the numbers' spots on the screen. is this normal, and if not how can i circumvent it?
2 - configuring the Today screen Titanium item - is there any possibility to remove some items and/or reduce the font size, or will it be necessary to take it to the kitchen?
Once again, thank you very much for this piece of work
update: after further insight, i found there's no Office or PDF reading support, correct? i'm asuming i'll have to downgrade to a 6.0 ou 6.1 ROM, correct? also, how do i get rid of the damn startup splash screen? currently it runs the carrier's logo, but i just want it to never show again

Hey...
Use IMGChangeFont for changing the font and size.
There are tutorials somewhere in one of the forums for writing config files for Titanium. I haven't messed with it much... you are pretty much on your own if you want to remove items, but it CAN be done.
You can download Office here if you can't find it under Device Update.
Regarding the SIM PIN keyboard, I don't know what to say, except to try using the sliding keypad or do a hard reset, then try again.
The splashscreens are called welcomehead.96.png and can be swapped out by renaming them .. is Windows Mobile 6.5 the screen you are referring to?

well now that i've placed a picture on the background it does look nicer. i actually just wanted to remove some of the features which i do not use, but it's ok anyways.
got the office download, will install asap..thanks for the link.
regarding the splash screen... before the Windows Mobile 6.5 shows up i get a Vodafone image. it was there even before i flashed my TyTn with this ROM and i'd very much like to remove it permanentely.
thanks for all the help.

ok...look at this post if you want to try changing your vodafone screen
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
interesting tho, I upgraded my friends vodaphone Asus p525 and afterwards the screen was gone. i didn't do anything but run the ruu. needless to say, he was happy that he didn't have to look at it anymore.
good luck

ok, i'll try and see if the Vodafone thing becomes history but for not now i got these here doubts:
- is it possible, and if so how can i configure the VJCandeaLite to turn on and off with a press of button and not be dependant of keeping the assigned button pushed?
- there's some stuff I personally don't need, nameley Live Search, MSN Money and Windows Live. since i have no use for these i would like them removed cause i'm picky with this stuff. does it imply just a registry tweak or taking the cabinets to the kitchen?
and one n00b question:
- how do i install the Office suite? and also the two programs you deemed necessary - CommManager3G and Touch Cube - what use do they have actually?

Black ROM for WM6

Is anyone using the black rom on their ATHENA/ADVANTAGE/AMEO WITHOUT issues. I have been reading the threads and am a little leary since most people are posting some kind of issue. I see that the black ROM shows a phone icon and assume that this icon activates the phone display which is primarily what I want.
I would like to find a rom/soft that allows me to have i-phone-like dedicated buttons (possibly with on/off toggle feature like menu settings in WM6 or customizable) on the screen that allow me to activate specific functions ESPECIALLY phone.
Are there any "cooks" that have successfully done this?
Well, I personnaly use Black Dual PK 3 without any issue other than those of the software they include.
More specifically, I have had no problem with the HTC Home plug-in, wktask, etc.
I did disable the Quick Launch today plug-in, that I found cute but way to long-winded to cusomize, as well as extremely basic, and replaced it with the well-known iLauncher.
Having most used applications two screen-touches away at most is ALSO a bottom-line need for me. iLauncher, along with the launcher integrated in the HTC Home plug-in, fullfil that need quite nicely and practically.
I therefore have nothing to envy iPhone users, quite the contrary actually, in my opinion.

I am in USA using tmobile. Do you know if the items you mention will work with tmobile? Do you have links for them?
No reason why they shouldn't work with T-Mobile, they're not directly phone-related.
HTC Home is the big Today plug'in that can be seen at the top of the screen on Black Dual PK 3 related threads, displaying the clock and stuff.
Let me take and show a few screenshots of my current setup... There !

This one shows the small animation iLauncher provides when switching tabs.
And finaly, this one shows how well Audio Manager integrates into HTC Home. So the Athena's a very decent mp3 player interface-wise, IMHO; with this ROM at least.
Top is HTC Home, bottom is iLauncher and PocketBreeze (both of which are not supplied with the ROM, of course).
I appriciate you sharing this with me. I like what I see and will give it a try. there are a couple of things that I don't know. I am really a basic newbie at this.
**Can I back up my existing setup\ROM and go bnack to it if I want?
If so, how do I achieve it?
**Are the additional items that are not in the ROM free to dowload? where can I find them?
**How long does the whole process take to do?
**Are ther how-tos posted somewhere for newbies like me who have only half a clue?
I am ready to learn all I can. I am happy to meet someone who has the knowledge.

No problem really. And I know that wile the forum is so rich in terms of information that it is the single place where you can find pretty much anything you want to know about the Athena, this information is so disseminated that it can be overwhelming.
guardm said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course. Easiest way to do that is:
- to find your current ROM on the internet and download it to your PC for "safekeeping";
- use Sprite Backup that is provided free of charge with the Athena and backup your entire system (you don't absolutly need to back-up what's on the microdrive as it is left untouched by ROM upgrades. Of course, it is always best to backup as often as you can whetever data you deem important) to the microdrive, and then put that on your desktop 'puter along with the original ROM for safekeeping. You can make a self-restoring archive so that you don't even need to reinstall Sprite Backup if you go back to original.
All you'll have to do in order to go back to your current setup will be to flash the original ROM back and then restore the Sprite Backup back-up.

There are thousands of items to download free of charge for PocketPCs, and hundreds of sites to download them from, that's the beauty of Pocket PCs (Windows Mobile-based PDAs).
A place I like as a "starter" is www.pocketpcfreeware.com, one of those I've been using for years. It doesn't ave them all, but it has the essentials, and it's an excellent "point of entry" into the fabulous world of PocketPC (PPC) freeware.
A good freeware launcher is cLaunch. It's not as pretty and customisable as iLauncher (which displays the small iPhone-like buttons on my screenshot), but it is still very good. And there are a number of things that ressemble PocketBreeze (the bottom plug-in that shows my appointments and stuff). The HTC Home plug-in is provided with the Black Dual by PK ROM, and requires little customisation effort.
guardm said:
**How long does the whole process take to do?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, depends on what you do, how much you customize, etc. But mainly:
- 3 minutes to hard-SPL your Athena (which allows you to flash any ROM you want to your Athena - this is mandatory);
- 5 to 10 minutes to flash your new ROM, I'd say;
- 5 minutes to go through all there is to go through when you hard-reset your device (what you did when you first turned it on: setting the date, calibrating the screen, etc.);
- 15 Minutes to install the Black Dual by PK ROM add-ons.
And then, it all depends on what you install, and how much you tweak.
With practise, in less than an hour, you can have flashed your Athena to a new ROM, and installed 30 applications with a little bit of "tuning".

Not many how-tos, alas. First of all things you should do is to read through the Athena Wiki, which will at once let you know many things about your Athena and get you familiar with the "terminology" (most people here, myself included, have forgotten that you don't learn what a "soft key", for instance, is at school ).
Then the stickies in each forum.
And keep posting here. Dunno, maybe that thread COULD become a "beginner's walkthrough"...
WOW!!! that's a lot to absorb and digest. I will take small bites and work at it. Again, the wealth of information is present. And thanks to people like yourself, I can learn somke things that I didn't know. thanks for the education. I will post with my results and potential questions in the next few days.
I used the cooked ROM on my Athena with TMobile without any issues. I've since changed over to AT&T for the 3G but you shouldn't have any problems with TMobile. If you use their VPN Internet plan you'll just have to change the settings a little but nothing a little searching or a call to TMobile tech support won't resolve in an instant. Any time support tries to tell me they don't support my device, I return with a question of "What, you don't support Windows Mobile 6?"...that shuts them up quick and give me what I need. Good luck and you'll be flashing to a superior ROM.

it does appear that this ROM is superior in many aspects....

Well guys, I already encountered my first hurdle. The ROM upgrade attempt was unsuccessful. The ROM update returned a message that my rom image is corrupt. I downloaded the original "shipped" ROM from the HTC site and will attwmpt to load that to start "factory fresh" and try the cooked ROM again......

Make sure the unlocker took effect. You can check by going to the BootLoader screen and checking the version on there.

Unless you purchased the phone used, it's only SIM unlocked. This means you can use it with any carrier that supports the technology. If you purchased the device new you'll need to run Olipro's unlocker to CID unlock it. CID unlocking the phone allows you to flash any ROM to the device without a problem. I think you should reflash with a factory ROM to get your phone up and running and take this weekend to do some thorough reading. I don't want to see your next post being that you bricked the device and the only thing you see is a red LED. Get your phone back up and running, take the weekend to educate yourself further so you can regroup and tackle this with a new perspective.
I have it up and running at the factory ROM level from HTC.....
I got the Dual Black to load. It appears to be working. Thanks for your patience. NO BRICK YET. lol.
I tried to use the add ons but I don't know what to do to install the .cab files.

You're welcome ! Glad to count you as a follow Black Dual by PK ROM *power*-user.
There are two bars on each side of the "taskbar" (the bar that has the "Start" button).
The top one shows the battery charge status. It is the program "dcibattery", which a link in the \Windows\Startup launches everytime you start your Athena (soft reset).
The bottom one shows the RAM status, available for the running programs. It is also launched at startup using the link "qwertymemory" in the \Windows\Startup directory.

UPDATE Loop fix - NEW 0MB PagePool rom

I have incorporated some new features in this rom.
You no longer have to align the screen (if for some reason this is not working for you then go to settings and align the screen yourself but it should work )
There is a script called “Backup Contacts” in the download folder run the script on your current device, it will copy pim.vol over to your sd card then when you load my new rom it will automatically copy pim.vol over to your device keeping your ringtones intact(providing there in the same subdirectory) this will also work on the root of microdrive
This rom as remote tracker, which is free, if you look in the download folder you will see the RTRegCreator go to the following website - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203 - to learn all about how to make your own rt.dll file once you make it you can also drop rt.dll to the root of you sd or microdrive.
Also I have made quickgps autoupdate without having you do it for the first time(you need to have data connection setup first to see how to do that on first boot see this link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403458
All the items that were in sogart’s rom are in this rom but a lot of the items are disabled, which are but not limited to, all inputs(keyboard is default), audio manager, adobe FL, audoBooster, Connection setup, large startmenu, office, subdisplay, transcriber, autorotate, htc home, touchflo…. Ect. I have also add a few popular apps but they are also disabled, dicbattery, qwertymemory, file dialog changer, total commander, tcpmp -with all plugins, pocketrar, taskmanager. The reason I did it like this is so I can take up all of the rom space but also make it as fast as possible. There is also a 0MB PagePool which I have been testing for the last two weeks and I have found no screw-up’s… not one.
I have also add scripts for MiniSD and Microdrive in the programs folder, so there is no reg changing on your part and the scripts will keep your device alive (as long as you plug it in within 20sec of activating the script)
GSensor- you can use gsen to autorotate or if you don’t want to use that app then just install taskmanager and launch it. Then go to menu>tabs options>select tab>services and look for “HTC Sensor Service (Athena)(Sen1: ) click and hold then click start
Known Bug – (for some reason on second boot ONLY, you have to press the startmenu in the upper left corner of the screen in order for the splash screen to go away not sure why but like I said it’s only on second boot )
Addons folder is also in the downloaded folder and this is where you will go to active the app you want(really it just installs a link in the programs folder for most of the cabs )
Deleted folder is extra stuff like ringtones and album pictures that just took up space but if you want any of it just drop in the windows dir.
I have set up a link for people to donate to me so I can get a new device. Please let me know if you have donated to me so I can thank you personally. I must stress that no one here has to donate I am more than happy making roms just because I like doing it. Also I would just like to let everyone know up front that school is starting in about 3 weeks and im not sure how much time I am going to have next semester so I may not be able to make another rom until winter break. So enjoy the new rom and as always if you have any comments, questions or concerns please ask

yup, I still have the HR-loop. lol, it was a struggle to reset it at the right moment before the customization screen came up, but I got it though.
I had downgraded from 3.5 to 1.2.
Irus,
1. Did you add the battery driver to fix the 10% to 1% for batter meters?
2. Have you the gps driver to allow quicker lock?
Anyone compared this ROM with Michy's latest and which one is faster?

A) This Rom is quite fast and stable.
B) I can use GSen on this...not so on Michy's latest rom.
C) the battery meter is not a problem for me as I use
D) Haven't test the GPS yet
E) Michy's rom changed my device id so my tomtom7, touchpal V3.5, and other apps serials wouldn't work.....it was a bit of a pain, but the rom is fast and stable.
I prefer this rom from irus though, the programs folder is not overly huge with programs I only use 77% of. this rom has a lot of storage and program memory.
EDIT: if you're in the USA and have slow network speed (600kbps or less) on full bars, go to phone settings and change the band: GSM/UMTS band=GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850) and click ok. if you it goes to the tab where it shows your phone number and the option to change your ring tone and doesn't/won't close, just change the ringtone and click ok again......the wait cursor will be there for about a minute or so....wiat until its done. Now you can reset your phone and do a speed test, you should have higher speeds now. Out of 2 tests I got 1375kbps and 1105kbps in doors.

I did not add the battery driver, as far as the gps driver goes i get a pretty quick lock but what is the name of the driver you are talking about.
I've installed this ROM this morning and had been using it for a few hours now. All my software have been installed and re-registered.
Irus was not joking when he said there is NO bug. I certainly have not encountered any so far, and there has also been NO freezes. The response time was very fast again.
All my sensor applications such as BubbleLevel and waterlevel works right away with no tweaks.
Will report bug if I find any.
I'm pleased also to report that Opera 1184 works very well in this ROM. It appears to be much faster than normal in fetching and displaying web pages. I could compilet post to this forum in this ROM whereas using the same Opera version would not allow me to do so in MiChY's version 1.88.
MiChY has a couple of nice applications that he coded by himself, and his ROM is also very fast and stable. I like his version of Large Menu Text configurator, for example, which other the bottom menu text to be adjusted by a slider.
MiChY's ROM is more "PCish". I suspect those who use it notebook style may like it. I prefer my device is to be "diamonish", which is what irus' ROM is closer to.
I'd say if you're looking for sensor functionality, this is the one to get. If you like MiChY's applications (and there are many in his ROM) and does not really want auto-rotate or sensor based applications, then MiChY's ROM is the one to go for.
MiChY's mail application does not let you drag and select mail item, this does. In MiChY's ROM, you have to use the method (which can also work in this ROM), which is to either press CTL and pick the items or select first item press SHIFT then select last item.
MiChY's ROM has a lot of things in it. Depends on the percentage of them which you need, you might like it. For me, I always prefer the Vanilla approach which is what Irus is taking here. I like not having any unwanted software keyboard for example.
Both are fast. Both are stable. If I have to rank, I would need a video camera to record both and analyst the speed. In terms of stability however, I give a slight edge to Irus at this point in time, because I seem to still get quite a few freezes upon booting up in MiChY's ROM (Not anything serious though)
Just different philosophy and approach. I just happen to like Irus' approach better.
Having to choose one of the ROM is a hard decision because both these yound man are so talented, brilliant, polite, and helpful. It's probably going to neck to neck comparision. I might just toggle between the two as I really like both.
Edit:
I forgot to point out one big difference in the mail area. In MiChY's ROM, if I delete a mail item, it will not be downloaded again into my inbox. In Irus' ROM, I'm simply unable to stop the deleted mail from reappearing no matter how many times I delete them. The only way to prevent the mail from appearing on my device is to download the mail using my PC. I'm problbly consuming quite a bit of my data plan quota because of this flaw.
Anyone has an idea why the different behaviour? MiChY's ROM is closer to stock ROM in behavious in this regards, which is what I want.
Temporary solution in irus' ROM: Don't delete mail. Do the deletion on PC.
Edit: Another importatn differece:
If you're using 96dpi or 128 dpi and do video call, then MiChY's ROM has a working phone skin for it.

[ROM][WWE][03-25-2009]At0mAng |Fusion Power|Beta Test OS Build 21040| Testers Needed

This ROM is based CE OS 5.2.21040 (Build 21040.1.6.0). ROM dump for Rhodium test device.
TF3D2 is included but needs to be updated with the update patch from Xboxmod.
Please test bluetooth, bluetooth headset, activesync, GPRS, and all other basic functions. Please do not post about Manila bugs. I know it gives an error when it first boots and will fix it in a couple of hours.
Just want the basic functions of the phone tested for now to make sure it works.
Thanks!
http://www.4shared.com/file/94911905/67926d50/RUU_signed_Test.html
DOH!
Forgot to add the link in my haste to get to class
Ill try and help you out here since Im a fan of your work, but if you just want the basic functions of the phone tested for now, why not use the first version of TF3D so that it eliminates the current TF3D UI errors. Then, when you want to test out to see how friendly the Rhodium TF3D is with this build, then include it for us to test? That way, if there are bugs we would be able to distinguish if its related to the new build/base rom or its its related to the Rhodium TF3D.
At0mAng,
Looking forward to the surprise awaiting in this ROM.
Keep it up dude.

I'm flashing now, I'll let you know what I find. Since, I haven't said it before, thanks for all your hard work, I've been enjoying your rom for the past few days!

No problem and thank you. I just uploaded a new version that has BT drivers in it. For some reason the ROM dump did not have BT drivers with it and I noticed it after I posted the link and after qsqa mentioned it to me
feeling adventurous.

I've only used ROMeOS over my past few phones and then a little RRE action but since I've used some of your cabs, the most recent one being the agps settings, and I think have some with your name in them on my site, maybe you know what time it is so what the hell, slow day at work, I'll flash yours even though I was up until 4am last night flashing and perfecting the latest RRE. Gotta have the bleeding edge!
Also I want to lock this useless post on your thread nice and early because if it's as pimp tight as I think it might be I'd like to give you a super silly fresh fast mirror and want to link it here.
[edit] here's that mirror.
Here's to us.
Doug
Here goes nothin!
Well, the first thing, and this may be something I'm doing, but I ran connection setup but I have no signal and when I try to open up the phone dialer it gives me the cprog.exe error. I'll edit this post if I find anything else.

Download it again...This version should give no errors...sorry.
I can not test any of the phone functions...phone is broke...I think we all know the story
Just so everyone knows...this is a rough beta...still need to clean sys and do some of my tweaking to it. Clean up icons and such...so be advised it is nowhere near to a finish product.
Okay, will reflash in a moment. Why are all of the Chef's phones breaking? My phone breaks, no cares but me, your phone breaks and all of us flashing addicts are lost! NATF broke his too!
More Rhodium packages
Hi, looks like EnergyROM has hands on with more rhodium apps. You want to consider them in your new version.

Thanks...i know all about the new apps. as i said my phone is broke and i want to make sure the basic functions are working before i start porting the apps.
just want to make sure all basic functions are working. bluetooth headsets, activesync, wireless lan and other basic functions.
i have a new build to post when i am done with classes today...
So far, so good. All of the basic features I have tried, worked as normal. I was able to connect to my bluetooth headset, phone calls have been made, texts have been sent. I entered in my connection settings and have been surfing the net on Opera. Anything else specific that you'd like me to test?

Yeah, BT has worked fine on multiple calls both in and out. The only thing I can't help you with is wifi, mine hasn't worked since I started flashing roms and I have yet to find a fix for it. ActiveSync works fine also.
At0mAng,
One quick question - does this ROM include any time bomb.

Yes...I did not hex edit the shell.exe yet...I am still building this. I am basically going through all the DLLs and EXEs one by one to see what can be used and what cant be used. Before I went through all that trouble I wanted to see if all the hardware functions were working correctly.

WOW! Latest Vodafone UK stock/shipped ROM 5.10.161.1 WWE (download link)

Today, I happened to spot a post on Vodafone forum with latest ROM info. The address is here: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18695&st=40&start=40 User TheFitz said @ May 7 2009, 03:48 PM
"Hi All,
Great news (well for me anyway). I've received my new phone at midday as promissed by VF. The lateness of this post I didn't want to jump the gun on the new one working nicely. I've attached a copy of my ROM settings for viewing of the old and new versions. Old version(on the left) is 1.90.161.5 where as the new version is 5.10.161.1 and is 6 months later. It seems the new ROM has a load of tweeks which mean I believe there is a marked improvement in:
a) Call Quality - Had poor reception
b) Boot Time - 5ish mins to under a minute
c) Call connectivity - no problems so far
d) GPS startup speed - 6 Sats locked in 10 (YES 10) seconds
e) Touch Screen response is near perfect
f) Internet Connection may be faster, but difficult to tell
g) General application working times cut
h) Call connection both dialing and pickup is faster.
I have disabled TouchFlo, but I didn't use it anyway on the old phone.
I am happy to respond with further comments on things if people want anything else.
There is also an additional function that seems to be added that instead of 1 red and 1 green button when a call arrives, the buttons have been changed to a slider on screen which ensures movedment of the slider to either reject or answer to deal with the call. That'll save me answering the phone im my pocket. See 2nd pic for example
Old Phone rating out of 5 (1 Bad - 5 Good), I'd say -(minus)3!! rolleyes.gif
New Phone so far out of 5, I'd give it a 4.5, but I've never given a 5, so I am currently very happy with the phone. Will post if I notice any further problems.
In short, RING VF and get them to flash your ROM. This seems to solve the problem very well.
Thanks VF, customer satisfaction restored.

OK. If no has it here, I will upload once my phone is repaired. The screen of my Touch Pro is dead though I could backup, run applications on it with remote control on my PC. The phone should be returned to me in 7 working days with latest ROM.

The OEM and radio have been here for a month & a half, so the drivers, etc have already been pillaged. But I'm sure the Wiki could use an updated Vodafone ROM, so please, upload it to the Wiki when able.

I've been waiting for this too, as I usually keep the stock ROMs (for the OS at least) until the warranty or my contract runs out, it deffinatly sucks that they've not released it as a download, they've done for all the others in the past including the Diamond?
Ahh well go figure?
Hi guys
I have seen this rom on a a friends htc pro ...
I could upload it as soon as I figure out how to create a dump out of it

Can someone post the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS] registry settings?
Still looking for a good AGPS server, maybe vodaphone has one in the UK that's open to the public.

on a side note how is that radio for you? i'm in winchester and using 1.02.25.19 which generally seems ok all round, but always interested in something a little better!

However, I think the supl.nokia.com is back in the air again.

Anyone know how to reconstruct this dumped rom?

Force Developments-ROMs and Testing

Being that the previous thread was getting filled up, I have opted to start a new thread. This thread is to be for Force Development ROM's. They are primarily devoted to the Titan just as before, but we are restructuring a bit.
From this point on, please do not refer to these ROM's as "Tplane37's 21xxx 6.5 ROM" as I am not the only person working on these behind the scenes. I would prefer that they are referred to as "Force Developments" ROM's, thus allowing universal credit to everyone involved in the process.
Additionally, if you would like to join in on the efforts, or have questions pertaining to these ROM's, we are on the IRC at:
Server: chat.Freenode.net
Channel: #forcedevelopments
A web site is also in the works. Thanks for testing and we look forward to working with you!

Okay, I should have tested these builds longer before releasing them. Now that I am getting into the more advanced side of things, you may see more time between releases. I am going to be working on things still, so check in once in a while and see what I have up and going. If you like the M2D for 6.5, don't worry, there are CABs available. Just remember, they are being tested as well and are the exact same files I was using in the releases I just pulled. I need to relax a bit and quit getting so excited about new features and need to get back to focusing on quality. I will be around and still working in the background, but as I said, more time will pass between releases. Thanks for testing!

Advanced users are still welcome to stop in the IRC and see what we are currently working on in prep for release. But the stuff I am testing now is not for novice users. See Mattsm's post below for the Java link into our support/testing channel on the IRC for more information.

So far looks good. I installed the optional items and really like it. Are you trying to duplicate without SPB?
23004 with the SPB is working great. Looks good, runs fast, memory holding steady.

I would like to, but that is not likely. This is where I found the setup in the manual install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407487
I am toying with SPB 3 now, but am having issues cooking it in. This is by far one of the more difficult tasks I have encountered because the registry entries are rotating around all over the place and being a pain (as far as customizing). The "Ultimate WM7" is not working with SPB 3, but I am hoping to figure everything out so I can manually change the files. I have tried contacting the creator numerous times in the past few months, but have received no response. So this is new territory for me.
All in all, with the help of others on the Force Developments Team, we are trying to get something unique in our ROMs since it is no longer much of a challenge to get a working ROMs out of things. Hope everyone enjoys testing!
I have been using the spb 3 on your rom and have just found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507697&page=276#2759
(MS301 Widgets Pro Plus Ultimate 061809)
Just installed it and it give allot of options to custimize.
Just Flashed
I just flashed the new rom and I'm pretty impressed overall. It's a huge departure from what I'm use to, but I'll give it a few days to see if it grows on me.
I just rebooted as I was typing this to disable the extended rom and go into high mem mode and now it looks totally different. I think this is what I should have been seeing. Very nice! Very clean but easy to get to everything. I think I may just enjoy this.
--later--
One question though, does this rom not include office? There's an office folder under the programs icon in the laucher, but no office apps in it. I also noticed there are 26 icons in the programs section of the launcher, but there's actually 36 folders/shortcuts in ..\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. So all the programs do not seem to be listed.
The various Icons bit is something I am working on. For some reason, SPB 2.1.4 isn't recognizing the entire list but SPB 3 does. Office was not installed apparently, I thought I had selected that (since I usually do!). I have a CAB for it somewhere and will upload it once I find it. But is someone else has a CAB for WM 6.5 Office, feel free to post it for everyone to have.
Personally, I like SPB 3 stock out of the box, and it is what I am using on my personal ROM. I am trying to at least get it to cook in properly with the Start menu override as default (it can be changed easily by anyone if they don't want the start menu overridden).

After upgrading CF to 3.7, I can now run Igo 8!
How can I find out which version of CF you used.
I tried to install 3.5, but installer showed an error regarding programs that were running.
I did not find any reference to uninstall 3.5, so I went with 3.7.
TCPMP plays smoother too. Web pages load faster.
MS301, scrolls with less effort.
Checking out audio next. I think the adapter issue (I don't have this problem) has something to do with a second "Mike" ground. from what I found on a "Pin Out" page somewhere.

Check it out.
And thank you everyone here for helping us make better use of our dependable units.
OOPS:
I just realized that is for the Artemis... It may be "Universal".
Memory just too low...
Well that rom is quite pretty but I had to side-step to another 23004 rom I found on PPCGeeks. My memory rarely shot above 10-12MB while using this rom. I had trouble running both Iris browser and Skyfire with nothing else running.
I look forward to trying a more optimized version. Is this rom UC compatible? I really need to learn to use UC or Sashimi if I'm going to be flashing this often. I'm sick of changing the same 10-12 settings and setting up all my email accounts. It blows to do this manually as often as I've been flashing lately. Cab installs are not a big deal to me, they are all on my SD so i just install them as I need them.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
from what i know
this is the audio adapter issue
hardware...not electrical nor software
beware...some audio adapters are stereo and some additionally port the mic.
the oem adapter ports the mic...so a stereo plug seems to cause issues...
well duh
