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?

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.

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.

As for me the only two things you could remove are Office and VoIP, but it depends on what you're using your PDA for. As for me it's a phone and mobile office.
If you want to cook your own ROM, just cook it. I said some time ago that I'll release my own, too, but only when I get it really full working. Besides... if you want to, you could wait a bit more, I'm preparing a kitchen with Anichillus.
OK... back to Platform Builder
Gud luck preparin the kitchen...Yeah probably..will chk the dump at nite
Hi,
Add: Shutdown soft, PIM Backup soft, Speakerphone, IM+ or Agile messenger, some *.tsk and rings
Remove: VoIP, Messenger, Windows Live.
but that would make it a less clean version
it would just make it a version which had the software you
like included
Yeah Rudegear is rite..I checked out the dump..Only Ms word.ppt,exel,onenote and more can be removed.
How about creating a list of possible in/excludes with some additional info per item what it would eat in ROM space, if it eats RAM, clock ticks, battery life, clutters registry and so on. Then we can all just vote:
1 in, 2 out, 3 in, 4 in and so on. If lots of us would vote you could just add up the average wish list and bake the most popular ROM ever.
I believe I'd love to see a ROM with Word, Excell, PPT left out. The 3D Cube flash Touchflo clone looks like an appealing replacement for that space, but only if it's stable, doesn't drain my battery and doesn't slow my Hima down.
I agree that that would make it far from a clean ROM, but for me a "clean" ROM is one that doesn't come full of stuff I never use. IMHO you can also throw out the standard games, sample pictures and such crap. But tiny tools and utilities like a registry editor, over/underclocker, personal data backupper in in in please.

I believe that ^^rac tried to use the original HTC TouchFlo. And I believe that will only run smoothly on Hima with a rewritten Hima dll driver.
But there is also a clone Touchflo around that uses no dll, see

Hi all,
I've googled a bit for this, but can't find a decent answer. What I'm looking for is a way to back up not just my contacts etc, but also settings, installed programs and the like, that will work across an OS upgrade to WM6.1
Basically I'm running an Orange WM6.0 ROM, and want to upgrade, but don't want to have to reinstall all my various programs, connection settings, SMSs etc etc.
Spb backup now claims that it works across ROM upgrades - does that stretch to OS upgrades? Any other way of doing it?
You need a program that will do a full system backup. I used to use Sprite and have recently switched to SPB and it really works wonders.
mmm... I looked in more detail and it looks like spb doesn't work when you upgrade the ROM... what it can actually do is a system restore. Any other ideas?
they're all really predicated on restoring things based on the same rom or saving you from a hard reset. nothing is going to plug back your installed programs, or else projects like the SASHIMI to sleuth's SDconfig would have no point.
there are programs like PIMbackup that will save contacts and the like, but nothing will bring force and upgraded rom to look and work exactly like a previously fully-installed-to-your-liking rom

Not true. It's not recommended but it doesn't mean that it can't be done. I just upgraded to another ROM and pulled a backup from a previous ROM and used the "ROM upgrade option" which worked great.
Fair point bravo; I was really wondering whether it was possible to (for example) save the connection settings to avoid me having to go through that palaver again. SMS's and outlook data are saved by most programs; and I can reinstall most other programs without too much difficulty.
Not to worry - thanks for the help
Hi all. I am about to install the official WM 6.1 upgrade on the Kaiser of my uncle. Since we don't want to lose contacts and messages, I was thinking of using Sprite Backup to restore them after the upgrade. The question is: will this work? I suppose it may not, since WM 6.1 may use a different format to store messages.
Please reply as fast as possible. Thanks!
EDIT: I have found PIM Backup in the FAQ, which should work. In any case can you confirm that?

I found that sprite back up, backs up everything,including system settings and 6.0 settings which are not compatible with 6.1. I found myself jumping through hoops to pick and choose info out of sprite back up to restore.
If it is just contacts and messages , I found that PIM backup was a much easier route to work with. It works great with the Kaiser.
Ok, I'm going to try with PIM Backup. Thanks!
Make sure to have the latest Sprite Backup version and use "Upgrade Mode" in the Sprite Backup 'Restore' options (see help file).

I have found out that my uncle had all contacts stored on the SIM card (aaaargh!) and just something like 15 SMSs (and none of them really important), no appointments on the calendar, no activities, no documents, and just a few notes and photos stored in the memory card, so actually there was almost nothing to back up. PIM backup was more than enough.
In any case thank you too.
And before someone tells me, yes, I know that this is like owning a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce and then driving only in the 1st gear.

Ha , I have had my Tilt for more than a year, it is sim/cid unlocked, running Hyperdragon III Raphael . I have games ,photos, videos, appointments , tasks , threaded sms and over 300 contacts, and I use PIM backup when I re flash because it is simply a good back up app. I have never lost anything.
I meant that owning a Kaiser and having no Outlook contacts, no documents, two 3rd party apps (TomTom - included - and Opera Mobile, installed by me) is like owning a Rolls Royce and driving in the 1st gear, not using PIM backup. For such an usage any 30 € LG phone is enough. Sorry for not being clear.

LOL, Owning a Rolls Royce to drive back and forth to the grocery. just means you have class and good taste. ( and maybe too much money )
Well he's not super-rich but I assume he had enough money for getting it without planning it months or years before. That's probably because he's married but with no children... And yes, in any case he has good taste.
Hi there... im pleased with myself for having dumped the stock ROM (4 Raws) and then going through the HSPL, which i checked is good!!
ive got my touch to use WiFi and not 3G when using the net at home even tho im on Orange Uk which is supposed to be set to 3g only etc
but i want to got WM 6.5 but am so unsure of which version to use... tbh i can seem to find out which release has what functions, no language stated as i read some where spanish or something lol!
i just see V12, V13 V14 to download etc no real explanations as to the content... Well not for a novice anyways..
so i know it may have been asked before but would someone (or many) please point me in the direction of something that is stable with no known major issues (such as wifi not working or something) and looks nice/fucntions smoothly...
if possible!
thank you so much to all that have helps via the modding topics and all those that reply here!
thanks!

A lot is down to personal preference
I have Jade Overloaded WM65 OS 5.21806 OEM 2.33.721.1 on my device, try it see how it goes if you don't like it try another.
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524102
can i simply put a rom over the top of the other then??
i am a real novice but trying to learn been on here hours going through dumping and the hspl... slowly but surely!
there are a few areas still im still in the dark about...
1) i regedit all the time on pcs and lappys etc but how do you on the fone?
2) still a bit vague on how to actually install the roms...
i have jade customRUU, but i read that was for just updating the splash and something else without installing a whole rom? i could be well wrong but im sure i did read that!
just not sure what to do tbh! lol!
thank you so much for your rom suggestion and if you could shed any light on my other qu's i'd appriciate it so much!
thanks again!
Dave
Yes you just flash it over old rom, its like upgrading a pc it wipes all personal stuff etc
to edit registry you need prog like total commander
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406 you will find all you need to flash new roms on your phone
My advice for WM6.5 is to wait for the official Microsoft release, that is September 2009 (hopefully). All of WM6.5 ROMs on this site are beta, so they all have bugs. From all of them i'll recommend pdaviet's v14, but it's only my personal opinion.
If you still want to flash, just read this post

and knock yourself out!

thanks lex i went with flubs recommendation and while its great there are some things im not too keen on!
i love the wifi side of things and how thats a priority over using the 3g etc
still cant get the weather to function tho... as you say im sure things will improve once the official release comes
having same probs with weather myself.
like lex said all are beta and have some bugs, you just gotta find one your happy with for me personaly its Jade Overloaded WM65 OS 5.21806 OEM 2.33.721.1 the weather function is no prob I will sort it out hopefully but if not I can live with it I will just remove it from home screen LOL
yeah still working out how to do things... being my 1st wm system...
wanna change the order in start menu..
quick link/button to turn wifi on/off
change the homescreen both features and order...
change the background as that is a little disappointing lol
i was looking at the manila 2d is it? but seen so many people having issues with it im not sure i wanna install it!
lol lots of reading searching to do :-( haha!
If you flashed the overloaded rom I suggested then you have touch flo installed you need to go to settings / today items tab and select touchflo
if you wanna change order in start menu you can select and hold an item menu will opo up saying move to top
hi flub!
seems i was running with Windows Default... which i actually liked.. but if i select something else that deselects :-(
i just have touchflow selected and pressed ok... i like the layout gonna take some gettin used to! lol
i went to the weather options removed what was there and selcted add to be presented with a full list of towns etc...
selected the one closest to me.. it updated and is working!!!!
pitty the default wont work tho! will run with the touch system from now then!
thank you so much! your help/advice is very appriciated!

you can use a registry editor then navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\
Under the registry key, create a new DWORD value with value name as SMSInboxThreadingDisabled and set it value data to 1.
or here is a cab file to disable sms conversation http://www.ziddu.com/download.php?uid=a6uanZema7OelOKnZqqhkZSrY6ybl5mo6
