WIZARD ONLYNEW VERSION HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1671022
Hello there,
I've been working on this ROM for some time, and today I give you the final ROM.
I've been trying out WM6 ROM's, since Faria's to Zoki's wonderfull work on Touched version of WM6. But WM6 is kinda slow, IMHO. Yes, we can overclock Wizard so that it can be faster... but that makes battery drain even faster too. So I started wondering, if I could take WM5 and give it what we can have in WM6.
I've taken the Wizard Love ROM AKU 2.3 apart and made the following improvements:
- TouchFlo active - yep, you can use your fingers to go up or down, go ahead, go crazy fingering!
- HTC TOUCH CUBE - oh yeah, I managed to port the cube to WM5! I also made it like the real HTC Touch, being completly buttonless. Just slide your finger from top bar to bottom bar on today screen. (thanks gullum!)
- CUBE contacts are in sync with the HTC Home plugin. You can set them on home plugin or in the CUBE, its up to you.
- Custom Media Hub (you can change how the cube works. Since I haven't included HTC Audio Manager on this ROM, you should change the default media player to Windows Media Player).
- Black keyboard skinning
- HTC Touch PhonePad
+ T9 supported in: - Read the FAQ to enable them!
+- Czech
+- Danish
+- Dutch
+- English
+- Finnish
+- French

- Enable 802.11g WiFi network connectivity
- Enable ClearType in Landscape mode

- HTC HomePlugin 6 Button - Windows Media Player is now the default player (HTC Audio Manager is a battery eater!). The weather already has the N2A redirect done. See if it works for you. Also, Backlight and Launch Program folder are now fixed!
- HTC Touch Dialer + SmartDial always working!
- HTC Security Dialer (not pinky looking)
- HTC Touch CommManager 8Buttons (everything is working now!)
- HTC Touch WMPSkin is on by default!
- HTC X-Button 2.0 (latest).
- HTC Network Wizard (runs automatically after flashing and is totally automatic)
- CustomMediaHub - you can change the Music default player to Media Player.
- TaskManager by dotfred - so that you can kill whatever you want!

- Increase FileSystem filter cache 4096
- Increase font cache to 16384
- Increase Ring Volume
- Today Date only one line
- SMS Sent notification is off (you can set this back using registry editing)
- Show slide-out keyboard capsdot icon next to SIP
- ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 (yes, its working without any problem on WM5!!!)
- PIMBackup 2.5 - so that you can backup and restore your data
- Esmertec Java!
- Tetris game (just cause I'd like to give you something extra)
- Total Commander 2.5PB3 - for your registry/files editing
- Add a 'Disconnect' button and Timer to the Connection List for GPRS
- Adobe Flash Lite and working - go ahead, see it in action!
- Change the location of My Documents to Storage Card (More space free now!)
- Change the location of Temporary Internet Files to Storage Card (More space free now!)
- ClearTemp - so that you can make some maintainence as days go by, even clean the recent programs from start menu.
- A new battery icon for WM5 that displays current % of battery. (uff this one was tough to put in, but is here!)
- CoolCam instead of default camera (didn't delete the default one, due to MMS dependencies) and its assigned already to the camera button.
- ScreenOff already assigned to the talk button but it doesn't disable the dpad so that you can change music while using WMPlayer!
- Disable window animations
- Smartskeys - hold the right key: program really closes | hold left key: start menu - thanks for the tip for this guys.
- SoftKeys - so that you can change what they do!
- WM5torage 1.75 - you can access your PDA MicroSD even on Linux.
- Smartdialing has been design fixed, meaning that I've corrected the blue stuff that appeared when using smartdialling.
- Show Calendar event text in Week View
- Show 'busy status' in Calendar Agenda View
- Show Tomorrow's Appointments on Calendar Today item
PagePool: 12MB -> faster performance, less memory available (that's what SD is for!)
TODO/WISHLIST
- Office 2007 - not necessary, Microsoft release an update to all PPC users, even WM5. Get it here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/86vb0r
- Different icons for GPRS/Edge - already on the FAQ's on how to activate them.
Steps for an easy and troubleless installation
(CID LOCKED):
G4 - Use sSPL to flash it like a regular rom (instructions and files needed included - more info about sSPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147 )
G3 - Unlock your CID! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116 then follow CID Unlocked intructions. The sSPL doesn't work on G3 LOCKED devices.
(CID UNLOCKED):
- Install Rom using RUU (included).
I have taken out Windows Live, Adobe Reader so that you can choose what to install yourself.
Before you ask:
- Yes I did try to do it using AKU 3.3 but due to M$ bull**** I could never get this thing to work properly.
- This ROM is G4/G3 Safe (OS+Splashes+ExtendedRom)!
I'd like to thank Noonski, Zoki, gullum, the-equinoxe, Faria, mUn, anichillus, Risidoro, Marshall, its_right, theloon and those whose nicknames I can't remember for their intensive work on ROM's, making our wizards life better and teaching... you guys are a true inspiration!
Also, I'd like to thank for all of you who give me the will to go on with this and also testing this rom!

Press and hold End Call for 5 seconds.
- On the CUBE, you have Music assigned to AudioManager? - I know you do...
Code:
Although I've tried via Registry change the default player for the CUBE to wmplayer.exe, it defaults to AudioManager.
The only way to change it is using CustomMediaHub, on Programs. Save the changes, wait a minute then reset your phone.
- Problems hitting OK/X button?
Code:
FIXED: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66677&d=1200851779"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66677&d=1200851779[/URL]
I know there's an issue on clicking the OK/X button, but you can easilly fix that
by playing a bit with the screen align. I hit the + on the middle except the
last one (top right) that you need to put the stylus about 2mm below the center.
See if that works for you!
OR
Take advantage of the SmartsKeys already built-in. Press and hold the right softkey.
- ActiveSync keeps popping up?
Code:
You can try this hack:
1) Start up AS on your Wizard.
2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source"
3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real
4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on.
5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out.
6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to manual under both fields
7) If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too.
There's also the Settings->Phone->Time Zones and disable Automatic change time zone and clock.
- How do I change the PagePool for this ROM?
Code:
Use the allmighty mestrini tool: Wizard Service Tool

Code:
- Cancel the automatic settings
- Go to Settings->Connections and click on Network Wizard
- Click on Menu (right soft button)
- Remove "Auto Detect Network"
- How do I customize the looks of the HTC Home Plugin?
Code:
You can try and install HTC Home Customizer. I haven't included this on the ROM
because the application can be updated. Don't come complaining if it breaks HTC Home Plugin!
Last time I checked, it worked quite well with this tho :)

- The Weather is not working!
Code:
[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1548952&postcount=471[/url] - my patched Weather HTCHome.dll - should fix every not working weather.
[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323393[/url] and try changing the code for your country.
OR
You can try and delete this on the Registry (N2A patch) and then softreset and see if it works again (as I said before, HTC Weather is crap).
[HLKM\Comm\Tcpip\Hosts\] and delete htc.accuweather.com that you'll find there.
OR
On your PC, to sync with activesync connection or Linux
Windows:
edit \Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file and add
64.62.158.108 htc.accuweather.com
Linux:
edit /etc/hosts and add
64.62.158.108 htc.accuweather.com
Reboot and it should work using N2A application.
Known issues:
1 - You can't personalize the cube animation. If you do, it will stop working. If you uninstall the animation you put, the ROM will be slow as hell... ( Won't be fixed, its a limitation of cube on WM5... it was hard enough to make it work!)
2 - This ROM hasn't included the DST fix from Microsoft (for the post 2007 time savings adjustment) - In case you use OggSync (like I do to syncronize Google Calendar with the calendar on the ROM), you need to install it. You can get it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx - Also reported that you can't add new events to the calendar without the DST Fix from Microsoft.
3 - HTC Home Plugin stays always on 24H format if you change the Regional Settings... at least it works tho...
4 - If you want to add Photos to your contacts to associate it to HTC Home Plugin, you have to do it before adding it to HTC Home Plugin. Not doing so may result on an unbootable OS, and only by doing a Hard Reset will fix it.

Activate the cube: ---------------------------------------- Deactivate the cube:
This is the real cube from HTC Touch, not flash!
It looks frikkin amazing.
As soon as i get my wizard back i will defeitly try it.
(usb still not fixed)
This is putting more presure hurying up on my touch rom but it looks like i don't need to make a wizard variant.
I feel honoured and again it looks amazing. I can imagine the sleeples nights.
I really think it is a great initative, and most probaply there will be no wifi turning on and BT turning on problems because this is mostly caused by WM6 base. And memory leak?
Your damn right about audio manager. It sucks resources.
Oeh waiting animation....
As i said i don't have my wizard yet.
But is flash lite in there?
How about replacing streaming media with TCMP with flash plug in?
(not *****ing or complaining just giving you something to think about)
But also why clutter the windows folder even more.
Still, amazing.
I wish my portugese was better.
Bon trabalho.
I haven't detected problems with WIFI, Bluetooth or even memory
Touchflo works so damn fast on WM5, no more jurky scrolling! I'm quite pleased with the outcome of this The most amazing surprise was the cube poping up
im in heaven gonna pump the rom on it right now thanks, ill report back asap
I can imagine a hole in your ceiling. I eally can't wait putting it through hell with Max Pagepool and Batstatus.
Well if that all works you have got yourself a head turner.
sweet
flashing right now. Will report with findings in 24 hrs.......
In the previous version when i used touch scrolling, it wouldn't stop scrolling until i touched the screen again (unlike normal touch scrolling where scrolling slows down to a stop). Is this fixed yet?
Other than that (from the specs) it looks like a fine ROM. Downloading it right now.
Yes, its fixed It will slow down until it stops. It works too if you leave your finger on the screen and move gently up or down.
how
Super work
but 1 question,
how to remove "Network Wizard - notification ....
It runs automatically when you don't have any settings for MMS, GPRS, EDGE. It detects your GSM service capabilities and configures your device. After that, it doesn't run anymore, unless you tell it to do so on Settings->Connections->Network Wizard.
Just let it run and do its work It won't bug you more.
Does the Automatic profile work? If I have an appointment and I set the profile to automatic, will it change the sound to vibrate? This has not worked in a number of other ROMs.
OK i remove network wizard....
2 question:
"HTC HomePlugin 6 Button - Windows Media Player is now the default player (HTC Audio Manager is a battery eater!). I've also hidden Weather Tab cause I've never been able to make work here...

Use Total Commander (included) to edit the registry:
- \\Plugins
- registry
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHome\
- Click "Add value"
- Select "String"
- Write: "Tabsetting" without quotes
- Value: 1,2,3,4,5,6
You can also remove other tabs simply by removing the numbers or reorder them as you so fit.
Examples:
Clock,Favorite,Applaunch,Music,Profiles : 1,2,4,5,6
Clock,Favorite,Applaunch,Music : 1,2,4,5
Exit Total Commander, disable and reenable HTC Home plugin on Today Items settings
I've recently applied the reg edit to be able to view 5 items per row on my programs folder which now makes that page quite usable as a launcher. Now I'd like to assign my left soft key to open up the programs folder.
I'm using Soft Key v1.3. When selecting applications for the key, what is the name of the Programs Application that, when pressed, will open up the programs folder (ie, same as Start/Programs)? I've tried many that appear to be it but none work.
I've searched and searched on xda and actually found a few results but none that worked. I've tried creating shortcuts, even found a 'folderview.exe' file to put into the windows folder but, when pressed it opens up the default programs folder of only 3 icons per row. It seems like this would be an easy thing to do but I'm stumped.
If this made any sense of what I'm trying to accomplish, can anyone help please?
Any news on this?
I've been searching for hours about this subject and didn't find anything.
I'm stuck with this also, folderview.exe does open the programs menu folder but doesn't render the 4 icons per row, instead it presents only the standard 3 icons/row.
Anyone knows how to overcome this issue?
Thanks
BUMP!
Does anyone have a solution to displaying the 4 icon layout in folderview?
Or is there an alternative way to display folders in the program launcher?
Cheers!
@ question 1:
Start Menu\Programs on Soft Key
I actually found an application that is even more flexible:
WM5NewMenu by Saman.cz
It does NOT mirror the above mentioned folder,
but even better: you can configure it just as you like.
E.g.: I created a few submenues (Main, System, Connectivity, Navigation, Utilities, Games) and added the most important prog links to each submenu.
Give it a try and spend some time.
Hey, it's freeware.
@ question 2:
4 Icons in a row
best use Schap's Advanced Config (I used 3.0 as 3.2 did not work).
Then under the 1. menu item "user interface"
select "horizontal icon spacing" and change value to "112"
select "vertical icon spacing" and change value to "115"
select "icon title font size" and change to "6"
... perform a soft reset and ... you're done
Thanks M_O_N_A_C_O, but that's not what we are after.
We know how to set the folder with 4 columns and we don't want a new menu.
What we would like to have is some way to open the "programs" or "settings" from a button or softkey (like WMguy post) and still be able to get it with the 4 columns display instead of only 3, which is what happens if you do it with folderview.exe
even with the HHC my HTC Home would only show 4 icons - with 5 selected in HHC. so I installed a file I found online called HTChome6.cab - now I have 6 "tabs" and even with one of them "unselected" in HHC it still shows all 6.
what do I have to do to have the following "tabs":
home, contacts, weather, launcher, profiles
??
thanks.
btw, I checked the registry for Tabsetting and the value is 1,2,4,3,6 (which is what I want) but it still displays all six tabs.
Tabs
In the settings of the HHC you can adjust the amount of tabs available- the profiles opne is the one that you have to activate.
I was so impresed by the beauty of the WAD2 theme from storm pack by the TheChampJT (original theme can be found here: link, that i decided to create a WQVGA theme for my omnia by it. Although the theme is made from scratch, all the icons and concept ideas are from TheChampJT so a big thanks goes to him. This is just a minimalized port from that theme. This is only a portrait theme.
Almost every button in theme is active and has it's own script. You will need to have this apps installed in order for every button to work:
- WAD2
- Favorite settings (find it here: http://mobile.etechniker.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=89&func=fileinfo&id=147&lang=de
