Hey there,
Just installed marketplace on my 6.1 custom rom (by gen.y, manila 2.1).
Seems to work fine, but it only shows 4 apps for me (facebook, windows live and some other crap). In some previews I've seen many more apps... Whats the reason for this? Is it because I have 6.1? Do other people have only 4 apps too?
Regards,
De man
I think its because your running 6.1, i'm pretty sure they are still working on the 6.1 version.
???
where's the cab ???
Cab File
Please see attached cab file for WM Marketplace.
I just bought my first application (Midomi 2.0) from the Marketplace and right away i noticed one flaw.... or should i say a significant flaw, which could impair reputation of MS application store for mobile devices.
You don't have a choice of installation paths for downloaded applications from the Marketplace. It doesn't install them to a Storage Card. It defaults to your Device's main memory.
I just hope they fix it with an update. So beware.
nope

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.
I something weird came to my eyes. I just installed the latest version of SKTOOLS. in that great program you have the option to look at and delete installed programs.
GUES WHAT ...... i have the option to deinstall windows mobile 6.1 !
To me this is weird. Never could do this with the old rom. It looks to me that wm6 is on the rom and 6.1 update is running as a program or something. This means 6.1 is not running from the ROM at all ???? Or am i missing something here
A ROM you just cannot deinstall as software ...... just a installed software program you can deinstall !!!!!
footnotes
After updating to WM6.1 in his installed programs list he is getting the option to uninstall WM 6.1 Any ideas
My guess would be that it is recognising this as a seperate app rather than a ROM as your installer used isnt optimised for 6.1 so it could be just marginally conflicting with it. However I would be interested to know what happened if you were to click uninstall
Yup would be nice to see what happens. However took me all weekend to reinstall all apps in my htc . I am a little scared to try and then reinstall everything again.
The uninstall is only in SKTOOLS remove program. Not in the standard one. Could be a conflict ..... but still it is weird.
The 6.1 ROM works flawless for me sofar. Big speed improvement. To bad about the drivers and the still unusable camera. Battery runs MUCH longer to
HAHA your one of the few that actually sound happy with it
Go on unistall it see what happens could bring us all to realise that 6.1 is nothing more than an additional front-end for WM6
hahaha that would be great to find out
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.

I'll check out that post you mentioned and will contact HTC as well.
Much thanks!
I really like all these windows mobile 6.5 roms that are popping up for experia, but i cannot justify using one without the ability to use WVGA fix. I use Picodrive and Finalburn along with Tomtom 6 and some other software, none of which work without WVGAFix3 which itsself is said not to work with 6.5.
There must be a load of people now with 6.5 roms, that like this software so how does everybody else do it? Or does everybody really just stop using their favorite software in favor of a 6.5 rom?
I have found nothing in the WVGAFix thread.
C'mon guys.....i cant be the only one faced with this dilemma?
Even if you use WM 6.5 (like me ;-) ) you can use WGAFix3. It doesnt give a black bar after use - but the Apps work after activating WGAFix - and before they didnt worked.
Have fun.

Hello,
I am also looking for a program like WVGAFix work on my WM6.5, I have a program need resolution 240 x 320 to be worked on my WM6.5 machine with resolution 480 x 800.
Please help! Thanks!
If anyone comes up with anything let me know as well ....
Maybe you should ask in the General section? Surely X2 is not the only WV mobile with WVGA resolution. And tell us if you find anything.
(I don't have my X2 at the moment and my Kaiser has QVGA resolution.)
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

WM 6.1 only
WM 6.5 only
ActiveSync icon in Connection folder does nothing (Restarting you device should fix it reported by shaytaan)
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.
