Hi, ALL
I have G3 T-Mobile MDA (Wizard), running Wm5 custom ROM from Xelencin and latest Radio ROM.
Also I have installed
SPB Diary, Pocket Plus, Weather, Imageer, Backup
Resco File Explorer
PhotoDialer Plug-in
WM5Storage
MemMaid
Some RSS Reader
iGuidance
MS VoiceCommand 1.5
IMPlus, Skype
Yahoo 2 Go, Google Maps, Live Search
TCPMP
etc
most of these on 2GB miniSD. Everything works. I use most of that from time to time.
I saw faria WM6 ROM. I saw MB Rom, I saw Mun's Rom. My question is - do I need to upgrade to WM6 ? Will it add something, which probably I'm missing ?
Or it is just to have latest Windows Mobile OS ?
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?
Also if moderators think this question belongs to Wizard Mobile 6 forum, can you please move it

Do you need to upgrade? Probably not. I will say that most (not all) of the custom roms will give you more space and will run faster than the stock official roms.
Will add something, which you are probably missing? The quick answer is yes. You are missing the frustration that some of us go through with these . Seriously though, its hard to answer it, but for me I find the custom roms more stable than my original Cingular 2.25, faster, gives me more room on the phone itself, and just more fun to play with (but then I'm a geek).
I can't honestly say why the draw to WM6 other than the geek factor involved and the ability to show friends and coworkers that you are running WM6 (and they don't care anyone or don't even know what you are babbling on about).
I would suggest you at least give Faria's or Molksi's 2.3 and 3.3 ROMs a try even if you aren't interested in WM6. They are VERY nice and stable. But also, understand that you will have to fiddle and tweak with your phone for a day or two to get it back to where you want it.
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?

I've used Spb Backup, Resco Explorer, WM5torage, Memmaid, MS VoiceCommand 1.6 all on Faria's AKU 3.3, WM6 MBE, and Faria's WM6 "the real thing" and they all work.
I'll defer to others on the rest of your list.
I know you didn't list it but, as you are using other spb products,
spb time doesn't fully work
How did you get Yahoo go 2?
double post
I received email with Yahoo go 2 and there was a link. Just went there and install. Dont remember exactly, but something like that
It's only available for smartphones... You don't happen to have a link/file handy? :d
Yahoo Go 2 for smartphones and pocket pc phones:
This is where I got mines from, they had it as an option when it first came out but now it is hidden and they want your phone information to send it to you.
This link will get you the cab. file and the active sync download.
http://sites.mobile.yahoo.com/go/mobile/getstarted
That link is Yahoo Go 1, which I am running right now.
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...

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

is there any emulator where you can check the opened process in a kaiser rom?
Alrighty I was really holding out on upgrading to 6.1, but this past weekend I took the dive and flashed my ROM even though I have heard that there was alot of bugs in it. The problem that I am having is that when I have my favorite people set on the HTC home screen that comes with it, the contacts on that list disappear at least once a day. Then I have to go back and set the fav list all over again. I thought it was because of icontact that I have installed, so I took it off. But the problem still occurs. Could this be becuase I loaded it without the bloatware? Any tips on how to fix this?
Another question that I have is that why doesn't the 6.1 upgrade look like the 6.1 on the microsoft website? With the new today screen.
And my last question is if I downgrade back to the original HTC rom that I had version 1.62.502.0 would there be any problems? That one was more consistent for me and I didn't have any problems. And I think I could live without the threaded text messaging. Thanks for reading and thanks for your future help.

of what i've heard that today screen is for Windows Mobile 6.1 Home? (or whatever the basic one is called) not Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ohh thanks I didn't know that there was 2 versions. I thought you could pick that today screen in the settings if you wanted too.
Are you using Dutty's WM6.1 ROM?
If so it is a known issue: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DuttySeriesKaiser
You could try this fix, or look for a newer version of the HTC Home CAB.

I upgraded using the 6.1 ROM from the HTC website.
Whats your take on Dutty's 6.1 ROM pros? cons?
If I downgrade back to version 1.62.502.0 WM6.0 do you think that I would run into any problems doing that?

No problems with the downgrade.
Dutty's ROM's are good, but sadly he now cooks for the Diamond, so no updates coming.
Try a new HTC Home Plugin CAB, do a search and see what versions are out there, and try upgrading.
I'd also suggest a Cooked ROM rather than the stock ones. Give it a try, you'll never go back

the poster was referring to the today screen shown on the windows mobile site.
if we upgrade our firmware on the kaiser or tilt we will not have that because that is an example of the windows mobile 6.1 for different phones. At least that's what i heard.
New version of WM 6.1 uploaded June 14 09
I havn't had any real internet connection for months so I couldn't get eny new build's for some time.
I also am without work so I can't aford getting an proper internet connection so my updates wan't be often as the only internet I have most of the time is GPRS.
anyway here you have a WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 rom with phone working thanks to Cmonex
the WM6.5 is mostly just a test and mighty not be good for day to day usage yet because of the memory usage of WM6.5 only around 10 mb free ram.
I do think I can make some changes to the better so the 6.5 rom can become more useable because wm 6.5 is running nice and fast on shift and it's also the rom I will like to continu working on for my personal use
in the next week or 2 I'll gather as much info from you so when I get back here (Parents hous only place I can have good internet) in 2 weeks I'll hopefully have a better rom for you and all bugs might be ironed out

Thanks a million.
Coiuld you tell us in your #1 posting if it's snapvue enabled, and which programs are installed on both versions ?
I'm going to install your WM6.5 first, and will send any bigs found in the 6.1 (as 6.5 is more or less just for play)

I'll update post 1 later tonight when my son has falen asleep
snapvue today plug is in the wm 6.1 if thats what you meen
wm 6.5 has a customiced titanium
The 6.5 ROM has no ActiveSYnc possibility. The icon fails to launch.
"the file MSSYNCAPP" cannot be opened, not trusted, or components not found..."
Flashing 6,1 now
Tip : Forget the SIM autoconfigure, it will save some space.
CDMA ROM needed
Any chance of making this work on the CDMA Shift ??? I am not sure why, but I am stuck in the bootloader despite a hard reset. The only rom that installs properly is the one that left me in this fix. Any CDMA folks out there, or someone with a GSM rom that knows what is needed to switch it to a CDMA compatible version ?
Just installed v6.5, and IT IS FANTASTIC
I like it very much, thanks alot gullum
<lucid> ActiveSYnc works, you have to restart your device
In the 6.1 ROM, the TASKS icon fails to launch, even after a soft reset,
thanks for the update on activesync on 6.5 version.
As I need GPS to be duplexed to to Vista, I recommend putting GPS2Blue in, but you have to ask the authors of that program, like ThaiHugo did.
For the WM 6.5 rom, the home screen font's is a little big. I tried setting it smaller via screen, text size but won't work.
All in all good to see your ROM's. Let's hope one of these days the secret comes out on SD access.
Does the ROM work with headset and mic to talk into or is it still speakerphone only..
Thanks
how come i cant build os of your rom?you deleted the packges files?
i cant seem to connect to the internet using snapvue but the phone function works. am i missing something?
Can someone host these on rapidshare? If they're hosted once, I'll host them on my account as well to get more links for them up. I'm unable to open mediafire.com from China. All the help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Caid.

It works fine.
I installed 6.5 last night. It works fine for me!
Looks EXCELLENT Gullum!
If you have any internet troubles, check your ISP/WAP settings
My ATT added 2 sets of settings, one incorrect, one half correct (so both wrong, but an easy fix by changing the Username)
Some questions:
Is there a way to add to the "Quick Links" to edit the program list?
Also, Is the Network Folder via Connections available in ROM or should we add it manually? (The one in Age of Reason is simple to use)
Also, as far as hosting, I have a server with unlimited bandwidth (just limited storage of 60 GB) that I can host some files as a straight download if that helps in anyway, jus PM me and I can give you access to upload to it.

Everything works great on wm 6.5 using window 7 rc
Can't make acivesync to work. Have tried restarting snapview several times but still get the "the file MSSYNCAPP" cannot be opened, not trusted, or components not found"
thank you very much
Hey guys, First off I wanna thank all the wonderful people in this awesome forum for their help in making me get the best out of my phone, truly you guys are great !
So, I did my 'research' into ROM updating and stuff (been a homebrewer on various mobile/portable devices before, just got an old WM6.1 Opal from my brother and decided to play with it )
So, I'd been using the stock WM6.1 + Manila (TouchFlow 2D) that HTC provides in India (Idea Splash Screen ROM) and a few awesome apps such as the M2DC and stuff. Loved it till I'd did something wrong with the M2DC that it stopped displaying the weather (it would show nothing but "Select your city" ). Also, I'd HSPL'd the device a while back using 2.00.cmon (ty cmonex ) So, I wanted to try a few ROMs. The first ever ROM I installed was jagan's Evolution2, it was an awesome ROM, zero bugs (except for ActiveSync; which maybe my fault), but I didn't like the button layout at the bottom of the device, I also missed Manila 2D. So I tried out Opal_WM6.5_D20_21896_WWE loving the design and stuff, but it ain't as smooth
All those gripes aside, I can't seem to get ActiveSync working at all ! With both of these ROMs, was it because I didn't remove the microSD/SIM while flashing or some other fault of mine or does 6.5 not work with Activesync 4.5. The only dialog I get when I try to get it to work is that " It needs Activesync 4.5 or later", I do have 4.5 installed, all the necessary windows components installed, etc ! I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. It used to work perfectly till I flashed these ROMs, any way I can get this to work as I need to get back a ton of contacts and stuff
What's your OS? XP, Vista, or 7??
On XP re-install Activesync and see what happens.
Vista requires an Activesync update from Microsoft, visit their site and look for it.
on Windows 7 I'm using the Evolution 2 ROM and it syncs fine right from the beginning, never had any kind of trouble.
If re-installing doesn't solve your problem, try deleting the partnership, and creating a new one.
BTW, you should try the new Evo 2.5A, it has a newer version of Manila 2D, and a different button layout.
Tell us what happens.
Good luck.

I'm sorry for my english...
The problem is in the USB to PC configuration. For example, on my WM6.5 the procedure is:
1) Start --> System --> USBtoPC
2) Clear the checkbox "Enable faster data synchronization"
(Clear this check if ActiveSync does not recognize the device)
Good luck!
