Howdy yall,
I've created 2 executable ROM upgraders for Cingular 8125 users.
The first is a RUU package that will restore an 8125 to it's 100% stock shipping state.
This file is on the ftp at:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe
The second file is a customized version of the latest Qtek AKU2 ROM. It requires that your device be CID unlocked to install. It includes the Qtek OS, Radio, IPL, and SPL ROM parts untouched. The extended ROM has been customized as follows:
-all Cingular customization cabs included EXCEPT "Singed_gprsstall_1228.sa.cab" which breaks wifi.
-cab created by ammar to allow enabling wireless Today screen item.
-SPCS cab to allow install of unsigned cabs
-PPCContactsMgr cab created by ammar to allow for selecting/deleting multiple contacts
-P_removeBTicon cab to remove the battery indicator in the tray
-P_DisconnectButton3s cab to allow for gprs disconnect when holding end key 3 seconds
SPLASH screen display order is set to Cingular, Cingular, Windows Mobile (same as stock)
I left the "Get Express mail" and Goodlink stuff despite wanting to blow it away.. =)
This file is on the ftp at:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE.exe
Hopefully this is useful to Cingular folks who want to either go back to stock easily or go to the latest AKU2 ROM while maintaining Cingular customizations.
I take no responsibility for what happens to your device or the price of tea in China if you decide to use these RUU upgraders. I have swapped between the two versions several times today without problem.
your gonna make a lot of people happy with this easy process.
does this turn everything back to OEM spec ? including IPL etc ?

It does indeed. The IPL/SPL is returned to 1.08. I know there's probably a lot of folks who didn't want to try the new AKU ROM for fear of not being able to return to a 100% stock version....you can now do that easily.
Dude your awesome! I always put the newest rom on my device anyway, but its nice to know (in case device breaks) I can bring it back with no worries.
Absolutely awesome summiter! Just like the wayback machine that Mr. Peabody and Sherman would use in the old cartoon! Worked like a charm. (Forgot how slow that original ROM is...) Looking forward to installing your Cingular 2.17.
Thanks again dude, you're definitely gonna make a lot of people happy.

This is even better than what I was looking for originally. I wanted everything to be exactly like the 8125 on my Qtek 9100 because I'm on Cingular (I just like how the 9100 looks compared to the 8125). Now this came along as something even better - the newest Qtek 9100 ROM with the best combination of Cingular settings! I can't thank you enough!
EDIT: Hmm, everything works beautifully except one main thing: when I tried adding my GMail account to Outlook, I got to the point where it asks if it's a POP3 or IMAP4 account. I select POP3 and name it GMail, but when I click Next at the bottom, nothing happens. It's as if the button does absolutely nothing. Because of this, I can't add my email account because I can't proceed to the final step. Is anybody else having this problem?
I found it on Hofo posted by JediCorrado.
yanathin try this and let us know if it works.
Incoming Mail: pop.gmail.com:995
Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
under Options check "Require SSL Connection" "Outgoing mail requires authentication" "Use separate settings"
Click Outgoing Settings
Enter your username, password, check "Require SSL for outgoing mail"
The problem is that I can't even GET to the point where I enter my incoming/outgoing server... The "Next" button leading to that screen won't do anything. I had GMail working before the new ROM update just fine. (sorry for the slightly off-topic posts)
Sorry yanathin, was just trying to help.
I keep looking and post if I find anything.
biggie ups to you, summiter
so i'm a pansy, and i dinna have the brass ones required to futz with my stock cingular 8125... until this came along. just finished popping on the official qtek rom, and things appear to be running swimmingly. will mess around more later because i want a2dp so i can stop carrying my logitech dongle around, but thas neither here nor there.
excellent, EXCELLENT post. thanks much, chief.
EDIT: i got mine all set up, and i have to reflash, but i don't even care, because you're awesome in the first place for getting this up, and awesome again for fixing it on-the-spot-like. biggie ups again. downloading again now =)
awesome, im gonna give this a shot soon

I think I know what the problem is - gimme a few minutes to check things out and I'll upload a fixed installer.
Thanks soo much for the new rom package
I just finished loading my apps back on the cingular 8125, and it all works great, and much faster than the stock cingular rom. Exellent Work!

That would be wonderful if you could fix it... Aside from the ugly pasted Cingular logo on the Phone screen and Incoming Call pop-up box (I love it when Cingular just "pastes" their logo on things, no matter how it looks :x), this ROM is darn near perfect!

Is this a definate confirmed bug with the current installer? If it is I figure I should wait because I use my mail on the road everyday. If anyone has more info - please let us know. Thanks for creating this ROM and for looking at it again---as someone who has been afraid of updating but really anxious, this is really exciting.

It was one of the Cingular cab files. Apparently there was some issue with MMS and Cingular had a cab file that applied some sort of hotfix. Well this hotfix isn't needed with the AKU2 ROM and all it did was break mail. I've removed that portion of the offending cab file, repacked, and I'll upload the fixed installer afer I finish one more round of double checking. I've deleted the old one off the ftp, so when you see the 2.17 installer back up it will be the fixed version.

The fixed installer has been uploaded. Use the original link in the first message of this thread to grab it.
My appologies to those folks who got their devices all set up and have to reflash.. :?
that worked out great! my 8125 was acting all retarded and not picking up any signal at all for about 8 hours and after i installed the upgrade package, it worked like a charm. anybody else have any problems with the 8125 dropping connectivity completely?

Were you using the original stock ROM when you had these issues?
I have 4 Wizards, and 3 of them had problems locking up and losing signal with the original Cingular ROM. Cingular blames the problem on bad SIMs. After flashing to AKU 2 I've had no problems with any of the devices, so the update is either handling flaky SIMs better or Cingular was taking the easy way out of the problem. haha

Will report if find any bug,but it seems OK.
Thank bro.
:wink:
Downloading and will flash soon. Hope this will be better than previous releases of other ROMs. Will be having response soon!
Thanks for your hard work!
A2DP Issue
With regards to the above, I have posted the differences I found between TuMa 1.4 and this ROM here...
It seems that although everything is present, the BtA2dpSnd.dll isn't being activated and so the functionality, although offered when pairing a device, isn't available as a profile, I'm at work all day (bummer ) and won't be able to work on it this weekend due to family commitments, but if anyone else (Tuatara ) could look at this it would be great!
hey spkr4thdd
u r too worried about your ad2p thing too much. it will come around.
btw, great work Helmi, thanks
imatrix
im having problems synchronizing w/ an exchange server, i receive an error:
"Security certificate on the server is invalid."
Hi
What speed tweaks are you using? Can you share'em?
@ helmi_c
Moved your rom to a safe place and corrected link.
Please update wiki WM5 page with your rom.
IMAP4 Account gone after changing Battery
The captioned problem is encountered in both Tuma 1.4 and Helmi 1.0 ROM. Am I the only victim?
Cheers, thanks all for your tremendous effort in compiling the WM5 ROMs!

I think it is a known problem with all WM5 ROMs at least on BA (disappearing e-mail accounts if battery removed).
On first boot after replacing the battery you should immediately soft-reset with the reset hole when you see "R None" displayed. That should prevent your email accounts from disappearing. As KTamas said this happens with all BA WM5 roms i've used (Tuma 1.3, Himalaya port and original WM5 beta rom)
One question, due to my work schedule I cant flash till the weekend. Do AKU 2 functions like push email work? Havent seen this mentioned so far.
IMAP4 account on WM5
Speaking of the devil, I have seen the same stupid situation on a brand new HP iPaq rw6828 once. Together with VGSMail, the push mail functions quite OK on the BA Tuma1.4 Beta except the frequent popping up of Repollog errors. Too bad if we need to take extra precautions in changing battery! Is there any cure at all?

Certainly does - I have push email working with this ROM over GPRS.
Made my day that did Huge thanks to Bepe, Helmi and everyone else for the work on this - finally a WM5 ROM that I can *use*
If there's enough demand I'll document what I did - though the vast majority of the work is configuring Exchange and OWA itself, very little to do on the device.

Which is which???
Hi there,
First of all, thanks for the great work! It is really a nice ROM . Just need to find out something. I downloaded the "Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_2.3_32mb_v1.rar" file, thinking that it should give me 32 MB of RAM Disk. But after I install it, it shows 64MB of RAM disk. Can anyone tell me which one is the file that create 32 MB of RAM disk? Thanks...

Trust me, I'm working on it, unfortunately I have a monstrous amount of family commitments this weekend... so it might not be for a couple of days... it's the one thing left I want fixed, I don't use Pocket MSN anyway (prefer IM+ and FlexMail)
Tray Icons...
One thing I'd like to do is get rid of the BT Icon in the tray, remove the Comm Manager Today Plugin and get it in the tray instead, I know it's possible as the Universal and other newer PDA's have it there...
Does anyone know the reg entry to enable this? I've tried a couple of random ones but can't seem to get it working...
If all else fails I'll get a mate over with his Uni and dump his Registry
its not a reg entry, its an exe if i find it ill post it.
removing the tray apps is just a case of removing thier shortcuts in \windows\startup
and the com manager on today screen go to start>settings>personal>today>items and uncheck 'wireless'

I know that, I've removed the today plugin and tray icons I don't want, just need the exe for the comm mgr for try icon...
I'm not sure what the other files in this package are for. For example, do I need to run the \Preparation\ExtROM Unlocker - WM2003SE\xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB file before I flash the ROM and do I need to use the DOC repartitioning tool?
And what should be done with the files in the Extended_ROM directory?
Thanks.
Here she is folks..... Keep in mind this is *BETA*.. there are still some things that i have to clean up... So go ahead and give it a whirl... This has only been tested on the 8125 G3 unlocked phones, i dont know if it will work on anything else outside of that!!!! So install at your own risk... Dr Puttingham seems to love it, and i think its pretty good. Dr Puttingham is also working on the stripped down version..
Major thanks goes to Molski for providing the core rom and his tweaks, and Dr Puttingham for his input and advice! And everyone else who made cabs for various things found on this board!
So install and give me your comments and suggestions.. and i will better prepare the final version :wink:
oh yeah, you need the link
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Other_Unknown/Shogun_A_La_Carte_Cingular_WWE_2.exe
And for the N00bs.. d/l the exe, choose to unpack it to its own folder, then run ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID
**UPDATE**
Myself and faria have been working very hard on a future release.. it is currently in a private beta testing phase.. Anyone that is interesting in checking its current status feel free to check our blog
http://betarom.hypersites.com
Just so's everyone knows ... the install appears to "stall" or "hang" at 94, 98 and 100% so don't be alarmed! DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES! Sorry to shout but I'm expecting somebody to think that their computer's locked up and "brick" their phone! (And one really shouldn't be running any apps like Outlook or such while upgrading...)
Look around in the Programs group for folders called WIFI, Tools and 800Message.
Wow, that's great to get a new rom - Awesome! But sorry, not to sound ignorant... can you please explain what the G3 unlock is. I'm running a 64k SIM in my phone, not 3G.
Is the 8125 capable of running at 3G speeds, or are earlier models limited? Is this a hardware or software limitation... I would like to get my card swapped out with Cingular if possible. Thanks for your help.
--JAS
when i mention G3 and G4 its the difference in chips in the wizard, if you boot your phone and get .001 at the end of the ipl and spl numbers then you have a G4 and i dont recommend using my new rom, although i might be able to make an identical rom for the G4 (i just dont have a phone with G4 to test it) And the wizard does not do UMTS only Edge, so no its not capable of 3G speeds... wait till cingular offers the 8525 and you can get 3g
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he is talking about the 3rd Generation 8125 not the 3rd Generation wireless protocol.. Anyone try this ROM yet.. I'm still on Summiter's 2.17 and am not in a situation where I can experiment with my device no matter how much I want to..
Shogunmark, what advantages does this ROM offer up over my 2.17?

Thanks for mentioning the hang... i knew i forgot to mention something.. it was 2am when i finally posted it all
Few Suggestions and Comments
1. I was able to install this rom on a non G3 or G4 chipset and it works beutifully.
2. I would not include Pocket Controller since many people, including myself, don't have that software and thus its useless to me at least.
3. I don't know what program you installed to fully close applications but its a little annoying and puts a red dot in the X. I would recommend instead Smartsky.
4. Nice job including Omap and Omap plus. Very very nice.
5. Amazing job and keep up the good work.
Running it now. All I can say is IMPRESSIVE. This is the best custom rom for the 8125 yet. Thanks!

oh yeah, pocket controller will be left out of the final.. i forgot that it was in the beta.. i just got tired of having to re-install it when i was trying out different cabs and such..
i havent used wclose before, which is the program that fully closes the program.. it is kinda growing on me though
anyway, thanks for your input, i will keep a list of all suggestions for the final. The input is greatly appreciated!
How is this new ROM with dropping calls? I'm using summiter's most recent ROM. The reception is great, but I drop calls like Jenna Jamesson drops panties.

i havent fully tested that aspect.. I mean who makes calls with a phone anyway :shock: ... but this is built of the molski 2.26 rom with the good 2.25.11 radio which i ran prior to this and cant think of where i ever dropped a call with it
Cool. My dropped calls might be the fault of weather panel and flexmail2007. but i've gotten extremely irritated with my dropped calls. I'll give your ROM a shot once you release the final.
Oh and I second the "no need for the app closer software" movement as i'm a wisbar guy anyway.
cant wait for the final of this.... keep up the good work
A little of topic but anyone know when the 8525 will be available in the states.. Is there any link with info on this device.
On your pervious thread you mentioned that you would look into a stripped down version of this. I would like to try it but really dont want all the add ons. Are they removable via the remove programs thing in the settings? Also could you put together a complete list of all the features of this rom...or somewhere that list all the features?
Thanks for all the work!

im an Xbar kinda guy, not free, but used it alot when i use to run smartphones, its a cool little program. But i did like how appcloser will actually close the program from just clicking the x instead of just minimizing.. but at any rate, this rom is for everyone and will be built accordingly to whats popular by use, so if the general population dont want it then i will exclude, or maybe make a cab so it will be easy to install/uninstall.. who knows, just keep up the suggestions!

Dr. puttingham has decided to work on the stripped down version so i can focus on this one.. right now only some of the features are removable from remove programs.. in an effort limit the massive amount of cabs it took to install this i had combined some..
i will compile a full list later today, right now i gotta hit the shower and get to work..
here is the list of what i included:
zoA2DP.cab
ammar_Wireless_Today_Plugin.cab
PPCContactsMgr.cab
BT_COM_PORT (did not install)
TRE.arm.cab
total-comander.cab
WiFiFoFum2.cab
Omapclock_and_Omapclockplusv0.0.4.cab
Wireless.Scanner-Hitchhiker0.4b1.cab
SearchToday.ARM.cab
vxutil.cab
TodayAgenda_PPC.ARMV4.cab
Molski.Biz_Performance_Registry_Tweaks.cab
rar.ppc_arm.cab
Molski.Biz_Customizing_Tweaks.cab
VNC_pocket_viewer.cab (did not install)
Molski.Biz_Stevens_Customization.cab
SP_ARM_504P.cab ~ soti pocket controller
VoiceDial_Button_Customizer.cab
NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab
SPWM5CallRec.cab
PPC2003PMVault.cab
fp7_ppc_en (flash) (did not install)
there is a couple that either did not install or didnt install correctly.. will be a quick fix.. and there will be a MAJOR change coming to this...
Mark, what tools are you using to make your ROM's? I've been trying to use mamaich's (think I got the name right), and although I can extract everything fine, I can't seem to turn it back into the binary file..
Looking to see if you might have any ideas.. I've searched the forums more times than I can count..
Thanks!
Well... nothing personal but I'm staying on with shogunmark's Cingular experiment. Lot's to do here but it's geared more for me. (gee I wonder why!)
OK, let it all hang out!
wclose should be left out of startup (my add in, kinda like it - install by user
smartskey - fantastic - install by user
omap - again fantastic -install by user, perhaps with smartskey
CF2 in ROM - get to it Mark!
I'm with the leaner, meaner ROM myself. This one faster, even with omap left out. molski's tweaks and my additions I think help.
And I like the idea of a Cingular ROM as ... that's my ROM...
Lot's of hard work being done here... respect to all!
Cheers!
Folks lets try to get a listing of software that you may belive that causes problems with Molski's Rom. I think this will be benifical for newer users to be able to go to one place and see all of the software that we have experienced problems with so they do not have to.
If at all possible for every program that we list as a problem I would like to have an alternative.
From my experience.....
O2 sms plus (for mass sms messages) causes a problem with the native SMS software. It has been known to prevent you from reciving or send sms messages. I am currently hunting for another program but I have not had any luck.
Thanks to all the Chefs that keep us in some great ROMs, keep em comming!
I think we all know SPB time does not work...and man if you install it just go ahead and do a hard reset.
SPB time is one of my FAVORITES but if you want to keep the rom do not install it.
After installing my 8125 got so hung up I couldn't even do a hard reset...I had to reflash from bootloader.
pocketbreeze does the same thing

This is very strange I have been using this rom since it came out with out the autofill or the calender giving me any type of problem. What other software are you running?

Not running any other software, only what came default with Molski's ROM.
I hate when I need to Add recipient manually every time I start writing SMS's.
Second big issue for me is, that I cant get QWERTZ-keyboard to work with this ROM. I'm finnish, so I need to use scandinavian letters alot almost in every SMS.
My plans for year 2007 are open, so calendar aint so big deal - but i'm still using latest Active Sync and still cant get it to syncronize past meetings.
I encountered problems with clock and date resetting after every time while takeing out battery. Also device stops responding randomly after some time of working in standby mode and nothing except taking battery out is making it to soft reset. But the second problem might be caused by programs I'm using... Do you have similar problems?

Try going through the whole cid unlocking again and use the tmobile 2.26 rom then install Molski's rom again. Let me know what happens.

I have had this happen with the time and date going back to June 7th once I took the battery. I don't take the battery normaly so I just reset the time. Why is this a problem?
The system lockup is most likely software related, but what other software are you running. If possible I would try to reflash the Rom and install spb backup and backup after you install all the software that comes with the Rom that you use. Then install each additional software and due what you would normaly due when it locks up. If it works then backup again and so on and so on till you narrow the problem down.
This is what I do and it works for me but if there is an easier way that someone knows of please let us know.
This is the whole reason that I started this thread so we can learn from each others problems.
Hey guys I am new to the forum and I just did my first flash to my wizzard and I used this new 3.2 rom. I must say its amazing but I am having problems it keeps turning on by its self when I put it in suspend and the battery dies very fast and the phone book wont let me look up any names that start with V. Can you guys help me out with some advice?
For "Sun'n'moon" application, you can replace by "WeatherPanel" (www.marsware.net) very powerfull.
On my Wizard, 2 problems:
- Prssreader is not compatible with AKU3.2, when installed the phone boot crash.
Today, I don't have found better or equal rss reader software: --> please help me if you know better!!!!
- I don't like clock or date on my task bar, I want to remove it with "RegistryWizard" but when I choose "None" and restart, the sound and network icons are hidden by something: --> Can you help me too????
Molski's Rom is very fast when booting and is not too tunned! (good!!!). Thanks Molski for your work!!!
great rom so far only one minor prob.
1) no pRssReader. the today plugin causes a reboot. no big deal. must be badly written sw.

I've attached a copy of Qmail. It handles RSS feeds nicely. It will also handle email. Basically, its a Japanese version of Outlook Express. Good thing is that the program is written in English. But, there is NO documentation in English. You'll have to figure out how to make it work on your own.
There is not setup. Just unzip it and copy it to your storage card. Then just run the "q3u.exe" program.
Can not use slide-out keyboard for cyrillic characters
Guys,
The rom is great! Molski, Faria - thank you very much.
The biggest problem for me is that I can not type Cyrillic characters using the slide-out keyboard. The standard way to set it up (by setting \\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale) - does not work with this ROM.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Hey man, It will not so bad.
Do you get back you backup by SPB Backup? The backuping programs sometimes damage devices GSM. Tray Hard reset and than it will be IMHO OK
I dont belive, that that ROM is such unusefull like you write.

You point the wrong way, I think it's more a cingular issue. I'm very glad with Molski's roms until now. They work perfectly fine overhere.

Howdy. I just want to make sure I read this correctly. So, you have T-Mobile (from your profile) and Molski's ROM 3.0.0.0 and you have not lost -any- calls/VM Notifications at all? I mean, it took me a few days to realize I was missing calls (when people started complaining at me thinking I was screening).
I am in Cingular, and if you are not missing calls (please, try to make sure as accurately as you can...) do report back, as this would be a huge pointer and there are quite a few of us stuck with this awesome ROM.
[btw: I LOVE this ROM and have no plans to go back... we all just need to figure this one out]
RE: the topic of this thread, this ROM seems 100% stable for me, battery usage and all. The actual thread for the radio/missed calls is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=287087
Voice Command 1.5
Cant say if it was directly related to the ROM, but Voice Command 1.5 would work for all but contacts and phone. If Contacts or Phone were enabled, VC 1.5 would fail to start.
Upgrade to VC 1.6 solved problem, and 1.6 is waaay better anyway.
Thanks, Molski for this ROM, I'm lovin it.

This is a compatability issue due to the fact that the Contacts Database was changed in AKU 3.x
Here's the TMO Wing original ROM with TouchFlo added. After the screen alignment, the TMO customization app will run but it doesn't install anything. Give your phone some time to initially startup after the install before trying the TouchFlo. Use at your own risk. Thanks to the PDAVIET team for the install process, anichillus for the kitchen And I think??? Tom Love ??? for the TouchFlo process itself. If I've used something of someone else's. I'm sorry, let me know and I'll remove it.

I will try this rom now. But I still think that it is only included the TouchFlo, not the others app?
Is it possible if you cook a new rom based on the Wing OS like the version HERALD_WM6.0_4.17.07.12.PV? I have tried the Touch IT already but it could not compare with the .12.PV in general.
The biggest problem now is keyboard of Wing, it is different than 4350's keyboard. So if we can get the new rom with Wing OS, it is the best!
Thanks in advance!
Downloading now :] from the wifi across the street, this might take a while...
Please post asap guys how this works.
There are several questions I have:
Does this include ANY extra software?
if it doesnt include ANY, then is there a TF manager at least like touchflo 1.1?
Does this have the 6mb page pool applied to it?
It's the base tmob ruu, with touchflo. not bad but still way up on the mem usage since its the official ruu
i got it to install okay but i can't get touchflo started. there are no tf settings. it replaces the left soft key. some of the issues i read about before are apparent like clicking the "x" opens the right soft key.
reinstalling something else. GREAT JOB though and thanks for making this. i'll check it out again next release.
TF Settings are in the Programs Folder. It has the original page pool but, the quick page pool changer will still work. One thing I did notice though, the TF settings aren't checked but it does work for me. If it's not working, open the TF Settings and check 'Enable cube' and 'Enable Scroll'. Also set 'View mode' to 'TF default v4.1'. I'd hate to slim down the ROM and have it missing something that a lot of people use. If you want to customize the cube, open \Windows\BioTouch Settings. I will definitely be fixing a few things so post suggestions here. Don't expect any changes until next week though.
i couldn't find the settings dialouge in any folder. i went into the programs folder where all the programs are usually located (in the start menu) and then into all the subfolders, and couldn't find the settings. They were also not in the program files folder that i reached through file explorer.
Strange. it's all there for me. When I get home I'll flash back to the original RUU. Then reflash my version. Thanks for your input.
Almost the T-Mo ROM with Touch settings
Well it's almost what it says it is. Everything is there except for the basic T-Mo apps like Hotspot log-in, T-Zones and My5. Which isn't a bad thing becuase I don't use any of them, however it is the missing IM program, but again no big deal because that's available in th the forums here. All in all, so far I'm impressed.
is the keyboard layout correct??..other then that there will be no other reason to switch because some how i kept all my t-mobile files when i flashed to the touch it rom
Just a question. When i reflash, i normally cut out the customizing part. Is the touch-flo function a component of the "Customizing" function after a hard reset?

To tell you the truth I dont own a Shadow I built this for a friend of mine.
He tells me everything works with no problems.
Test it let me know what you think.
myhtc I downloaded your ROM first thing this morning. I've been using it all day. I followed the directions on how to install and it worked with no problems, it can't get any simper then that. So far everything I have tried works. I noticed you have the clock on the lock screen that alot of the ROMs don't have. I like the idea you added restart to the settings. Email works good and images are sent and received same size. I am having a little problem with sending and receiving images from MMS, but I don't know if it is because my signal isn't that great and even on WIFI it seems to be having problems. But I keep losing WIFI connentions.i will test it more and get back
Thanks for the reply please do let us know if your having connection problems it does sound like it not that there is anything I can do about it but it would nice to know its not the ROM.
this rom kicks ass
Q: is this rom cid unlocked already
mms is working and the images are sent and received same size. signal isn't that great at my home its not the ROM. and the wifi i have had problimes with it on the phone since I bought a new Linksys ultra range plus router

No it’s not.
My understanding of the CID unlock is that it’s only important when flashing an Official ROM and not necessary for a cooked ROM.
Reason cooked ROMs require softspl to bypass security checks, Official ROMs from other providers can be flashed after being CID unlocked without softspl.
This is just my understanding and it could be very wrong.

Yeah, that's correct. Nice job! i'm flashing the rom as I'm typing this.
@liljay: will do. Just wanted to let you know that I'm by no means an expert with this stuff The Shadow is the first one i've ever worked on. The only reason people might of thought my work was good is that because until Hikey and -MyHTC- made ROMs, mine were the only option for wm6.1.
btw, -MyHTC-, which phone's XIP partition did you port from? I did it from the Q, but didn't know if there were any other options.

Not trying to cut in on the fun (getting a new ROM) but if you don't already know.. the way ROMS go.. there isn't so much as one being better than another.. its more of a matter of a ROM made with the developers thoughts, likes, and ideas in mind.. as how he/she thinks it should be..
so to say that one is better than another comes off as a bit insulting..

I believe there is a post here on the forum I have recently read about this such thing.. we don't need to make comments about making one person better than the other or saying one person's ROM is not as good as the other.. we are all at differ stages of the learning curve..
I agree, perhaps even more a matter of user preference. Both ROMs are very well done, however I happen to like ND4SPD's developer 1.1 edition, cleansed of all the T-Mo extra's.
It's fantastic to have these options.
Thanks ND4SPD & MyHTC for all your hard work.
First of all, really nice job on the rom. It's a lot more organized than mine, for one.
I did find one bug and it confirms kron2's problem. The WiFi loses signal intermittedly. I'm pretty sure its not my router because I have successful connections with a laptop and a desktop to the network. Which WLAN files did you use? If you used the emulator ones, I think it should work. If that doesn't you need to use the Shadow's WLAN SYS files.
I think we need more people to look in to whether the wifi keeps going out because I have the same problem on the t mobile rom I just went back to so I can ship it back to t mobile

I compared all WiFi files from the Shadow WM6.0, Dopod WM6.0, Emulator WM6.1 and this ROM they are all the same.
Then I compared the drivers from the Shadow WM6.0, Dopod WM6.0 and this ROM they are all the same.
So I can assure you that any ROM built with WM6.0 or WM6.1 will be using files and drivers.
Any issues with WiFi connection must be from the manufacture and there are no updates.

I took it from my StarTrek, where it came from before that I dont know.

I did not have a shadow or dopod c750 yet. (I use HTC S710)
I cook this rom for one of my friend who use shadow in china.
when i finished it, i upload to fs2you, then my friend download and test it.
I did it blindly, just put the original OEM and SYS from emulator together.
The OEM part come from dopod C750 WM6.0 rom.
