Does GPS work with Dutty's WM6.1?

i cant seem to get iGO 2006, iGO 2008 (prerelease), or MioMap to work after flashing duttys wm6.1 rom.
was anyone else with this rom able to get gps to work?

hey, after i flashed to duttys 6.1, it took a long time to make a gps connection. i ended up flashing back to one of duttys 6.0 roms for that and also the lack of voice dialing...i think its something with all 6.1 roms...
omar

i had the same problem i just changed radio rom then the gps worked straight away.
KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21_CustomRUU

first i would say, next time it's better to ask the questions in the rom thread where the problem belongs to... (no offense....!)
second it's a known issue with igo and some WM6.1 versions - not only dutty's versions (with dutty's March 4 edition it's working,
with the March 8 editon it was working with HTC Home music tab disabled (or disabling HTC Home in general) for me...strange, but true
peace brothers

ask the questions in the rom thread where the problem belongs to...

sorry i just noticed that most posts in the rom section are useful posts containing a rom or file, while in this section its about half attachments and half questions. so i figured i would just post where there is already questions.
thanks for the replies, but right now dutty's website is down so i cant get any radios.
i dont even know if the gps doesnt work, cuz i havent even been able to test it, as i said, the programs just wont launch. i click the .exe and the little loading thing appears for a second and nothing happens.
so until duttys site is back up..lets continue this thread?
who out there has dutty's 6.1 rom? are you using gps? what program? thanks.

Im using the March 4th edition with radio 1.64.08.21 and I have 4 programs that use the GPS, Tomtom, Google maps, the GPS today plugin and VITO's Astro Navigator. They all connect and get a fix between 4-30 sec's

Ok i found the solution, and a thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368179
with the current version of dutty's rom you have to disable the music tab on the htc home plugin, i dont know why, its pretty gay, but it works.
im gonna try and install another htc home and see if it helps.

Wm 6.1 Professional Works!!!

Yea, ive "rebuild" the shipped KAISER ROM to Wings... but needs a lot of work now...
Screen Rotate works..
error messages too...
Status:
Radio Rom Version 1.64.08.21 (Works well with Alcalines ROM too)
Phone Boots,
ActiveSync connect,
Displaydriver works in Portrait&Landscape by sliding Keyboard,
...but only 10 seconds to test, because there is a "Simdoor Unlocked-Please lock it..."Message, maybe a Hardware-Issue...
I want to add some nice tweaks later, to make this ROM useable without touchscreen like on HTC StarTrak or Tornado...
PRO ROM for PRO USER...
Who wants to test?Or help?!?!?All others may use ALCALINES ROM, because its for SmartPhones (only) and nearly bugless.

I'm wondering why using wm6 professional on a device without touch screen...
What am i missing?

Just one new & pointless trend...

Arpy:
can you fully interact with it?
If so, it is useful; because there are other features within WM pro versus WM standard.
Don't let these guys keep you down. I'd volunteer to test, but I'm too comfortable with Alcaline's build.

I meant, on these pro builds on a phone without point input... can you actually do anything? I'm sure you can, i just wanted to confirm.

This is no prob...there are two apps out there, well tested on StarTrak and Typhoon, called FakeCursor and SPHelper.The Pro ROM is mostly useable with Joypad only, but some 3rd Apps need them.

Gotcha. Thanks.

coming from tornado forum, do you have any news? please let me know, i would like to switch to a pro wings. Also do you have any kitchen to cook roms?

yeah!
can't wait for pro .
More apps to install
Keep on the good work !!
greets,
Niels

Upgrading to PRO...
No news for now...ive bricked the RadioPart in my Phone, have to fix this first...
Rom boots well, but i cant locate this SIMDOOR-Issue..i have to bypass this f*ckin GPIOx05.Then the real work may begin..
To cook a WINGS rom u can use any KAISER Kitchen...look at the KaiserForum here...
If you need any advice , then ask...

Arpy, would you tell me what did you change in the kaiser rom to make it run on the s730? I suppose the drivers are the same, but what else?
I know i'm a newb.

....at first time, ive changed NOTHING-> extract a KAISER ROM and recompiled as WINGS Rom =>1st Bootscreen with red letters, 2nd Screen with Startup-Animation, 3rd Screen with Windowslogo-=>Warning for an "Open SIM-Door"=>Todayscreen=>Phone Off.
at second time ive changed the whole Sys-Folder from Alcaline with Duttys one (dont ask which one, ive tried them all...)...mostly the same result,with some ROM's the Phone freeze after 2nd Screen...
Strike three:Changed the RADIO.
Ive tried some KAISER-RadioRoms, same results!
Radios works well with Alcalines ROM,..till i stucked with "RADIO ROM FROM HELL".. I can use my phone like before,but cant update my radio...now i try a solution in KAISERFORUM to "Jailbreak"
Fazit:A KAISER Rom works well on WINGS.
But we need a "HACK" to disable the GPIO=05c->SimdoorSensor.
EDIT:
Ah i forgot...Ive changed the XIP too..anyway, same results!!!The Usual way is to use the SYS and XIP from PRO and the OEM from STANDART,..i think..

WM 6.1
i keep seeing threads for wm6.1 and how it works but no links to download it and try it for myself.
i tried aclines and didnt work keep saying the file is corupted. im looking for wm 6.1 for my wing any help???

First;Read the thread.There are all needed steps
Next:Check your Phone.Do yu have a WING or a WINGS?
Thenost into the right Forum.This thread is the PRO OS for SP thread!

disregard previous message

cabs for WM6.0 OK for 6.1?

I've finally decided to move up to WM6.1 on my TyTN II.
My question is, would the cab files I currently have installed on my unit (with WM6.0) still work once I upgrade to 6.1?
The most important programs I want re-installed are primarily the TouchFLO upgrades (TouchFLO cube, Random Access, Task Manager etc) and the media upgrades (HTC Album and Camera; TCPMP).
Also, am I right in assuming all the standard programs that were installed in my phone when it was new (Mobile Office, WMP, Adobe Reader, etc) will also be in the 6.1 installation pack? I'll be using the WM6.1 I downloaded from the HTC e-Club site.

Not sure, but probably most of the yes, it was the case when I did it. You would need to reinstall these cabs because programs can't be correctly restored when doing a ROM upgrade, even with programs like Sprite Backup.

Task Manager, HTC Album and Camera are included. I am not using the others. If you do a search on the forum and to be sure, you will probably find these programs updated and also in 6.1 cooked ROMs.

Yes, in some cases updated versions will be installed plus a few improvements that you can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375979 and by searching. I didn't miss any previous WM 6.0 programs after the upgrade.
I strongly recommend a full backup before upgrading.

I hope you don't use GPS then

I don't use any of those cabs but some of them seem to have WM 6.1 compatible versions from searching here. You do realise that many people have had issues with GPS performance since upgrading to WM 6.1 from 6.0. Personally I wish I'd held off until HTC had really sorted these problems out (they still haven't) but now I've done it there's no going back (unless I want to send the phone back to HTC for them to flash it to the original configuration or risk voiding the warranty if I do it myself).

Thats where I got mine from and yes those programs are still there, as mentioned already, some are improved.
Further to the suggestion anoano made about backing up, make sure your backup software is up to date enough to be able to restore the files you need to a newer OS. Some older versions have problems with restoring to a different OS than that used to create the backup. Check the backup software makers website if in doubt.

most cabs are universal among WM5,6 and 6.1. if they weren't then the description,filename or faq would mention if it was only for a certain version of WM

Thanks guys. This forum is the best!
Flying Kiwi, you're now two for two with me I wouldn't have known about the GPS issue if not for this forum. What GPS performance issues do you mean? I don't really use the GPS, but it would be a bummer to eventually need it, and for it not to work. I mean, I did pay for the hardware right? Any signs of HTC working this out?

gps works but it can be slow at times whether starting up,talking with satellites, etc. most of the gps issues are either applications issues or the radio

The ones that are also detailed in this forum, both in this thread *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 Update? and elsewhere. This thread covers it quite well (apart from the reference to quick GPS being the culprit even though a radio change makes a big difference).

I think the first step is to get them to even acknowledge it as an issue. Let us know what HTC say to you about it (or the carrier if it's a carrier provided device). Just mention exactly what you've told us here that you're considering using the WM 6.1 update but that you have read online about major problems with GPS performance afterwards.

good work with this post; very helpful.

Where are manila 2.1 roms?

I just looked through 30 pages of this forum looking for a wm6.5 manila 2.1 rom and only saw a total of 4. I tried Topix and it was too buggy so I'm trying EnergyROM now. Are there any other good ones?

Hi rpimps,
please refer to the following thread for more information on reccommended 6.1 ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539646
I would personally reccommend you try out Duttythroy's final 6.1, 4.3 version, but if not already done so, you will need to register via this site (HTCPedia.com) as his roms were exclusive to HTCPedia.com.
Here's the link: http://htcpedia.com/duttys-wm-6_1-v-rom-final/soft/htc-blackstone-rom.html
Bear in mind that it's really down to your own personal taste when trying to determine which ROM is best, as each cook has their own style.
Regards.

topix buggy?!!?

When you go to Contacts (through Contacts program, not through Phone and then contacts) and then click Menu, it freezes. Has no one else had this problem? If a rom has a bug, can reflashing it fix it?

Reflashing is always the first step yes. Sometimes the flash was bad so it might fix it. Hard reset twice once the device has been flashed just to make sure....

Cool, I just reflashed it and hard reset twice like you said and it doesn't have that problem anymore. For some reason it won't connect 3G though, I've never had this problem before and I set up ATT settings as usual (and I'm in the same location). Do I need to do something else?

Check Comm Manager and see if there is a 3G on/off. Some roms have it.

It says 3G and there's an option to "set to auto" and if you click "set to auto" it changes to "set to gsm" so I guess it's in GSM already

Nevermind, as soon as I imported all of my contacts back onto the phone, the problem came back. Maybe I have too many contacts and the rom can't handle it?

Nothing to do with contacts. My suggestion is to switch roms at this time. But hard reset twice with each new flash.

I personally recommend PhamQuangs. That's the link to the thread started here at xda for him, he cooks both Manila 2.1 and 2.5.
If you're interested in flashing one, shoot me a PM and give you the link.

I like Manila 2.1 too, very fast and smootly, i don't understand all rommer why use only M2.5. (i tried many version...)
I like WM6.5.3 with M2.1, very fast and shine combination
PhamQuangs's newest ROM only with M2.5

tried a few M2.5
eat my batteries for supper.....
now sticking with topix W6.5 M2.1 till further notice
very fast indeed
and a full charge last me more than 2 days with about 1hr call in total and listening to music
BUT
i cant get the transparent clock and transparent slider to work!!
any advice?

no more m2.1!!
I think people are tired of manila 2.1. I cant stand it anymore..
And manila 2.5 DOES NOT make HD slow.... the thing that make our device slow is animated wallpaper... only this...
bye

new to WM 6.1 and having issues

ok so Im a noob when it comes to the HTC tilt. i bought it about a week ago and since then i have upgraded to WM 6.1 and installed the Kaiser Tweak, Black Theme, Opera Mobile 10 beta and Mobium GPS software. The phone seems kind of laggy, when i go to "wake it up" it will occasionally flash then immediately go "back to sleep". I also noticed today that when i slide the keyboard out to txt message, the word completion window pops up with nothing in it and if i hit the menu tab there are just hyphens in it, no actual words i.e. delete, forward,insert......so on. I need help. i flashed the WM 6.1 last night and didnt have these problems till about an hour or so ago....with the exception of the lag.

Welcom to the WM 6.1 'upgrade'
Although I've never had a Tilt (mines just the HTC version of a TyTN II), some of the issues you describe were problems I'd found with the default HTC 6.1 upgrade. Sometimes what people expect to be an improvement because it's newer, isn't necessarily better. If you want to go back to how it was, read up the Wiki here at xda-dev which will tell you how you can flash back to the original WM 6.0 setup (or perhaps you may prefer the slightly newer but still WM 6.0, 1.62 series ROM referred to here ).

ok....well ive been browsing and ive seen ALOT of these "cooked" roms. what r these exactly and has anyone had luck with a specific one. i know that everyone has their preference but again...im new. I dig the black theme and the threaded SMS is a must have. i also like the kaiser tweak....does any one have a file for threaded SMS if i decide to go back to 6.0

Maybe something about it in the wiki

No, no-one has ever had any luck with a cooked (or customised) ROM... But seriously if you want to know which is best it will depend what you want it to do and even then asking which is best is frowned upon here at xda-dev (because it can cause flame wars so it's a no-no). What most people do is try them and see. I've tried a few and always ended up going back to stock to get fast GPS. Have a search for threaded SMS - I don't recall if that's possible under WM 6.0 but maybe there's a cab around. Have a good read in the wiki section as well -there's lots of usefull info in there. I hardly ever use sms so what I have is good enough for my needs.

Check out Solace v3.1,
looks pretty spiffy if you ask me. Finger-friendly as well.

Well I'm not sure if you have tried that or not but, did you check your memory?? like is you mobile memory or even your memory card full or kind of full?? that really makes the mobile sooooooo slow and boring specially if you have an 8GB almost full memory card. One more thing, it's better if you close the word completion option as i had a problem before that the mobile had saved too many entries that it reached a limit were each time i try to write a msg it just freezes the whole mobile and that problem wasn't solved except when i stopped the word completion

for the bold part in the quote above, disable cleartype in landscape...the functionality is broken in most combinations of video drivers with WM6.1 on the kaiser.
