And Molski, hope you dont mind if so i will discontinue out of respect
I have spent the last few late nights taking molski's rom and modifying the extended rom to include the cingular settings. Would anyone else be interested in this rom? This does include all the popular reg hacks (wifi 80211g, a2dp, etc)
This is what i have so far...
Removed:
goodlink
expressmail
replaced Moslki splash screen with cingular
Added:
.net compact framework v2
A2dp improvement reg hack (edited with the right reg key)
Molski performance tweeks left in the rom
Omapclock and Omapclockplusv0.0.4
I also added Wififofum, hitchiker, and 1800message.com's phone call recorder and their pmvault program which will back up sms, pics, contacts, call list, etc. But those are all things i wanted and can remove them...
I have been using it for a few days now and it works great
please give me your thoughts and suggestions, if you want it i will post it on the ftp, if not then i will just enjoy it all to myself
If it is all good with Molski then I say it would rock!!!
Please post.....
since then i have been in contact with another person who has started a similiar project with molski.. this other person and i are working on it... hopefully if all goes well we should have something within the next few days.. we will keep you posted!
please please please
post the rom with cingular custom.
What's the soup de jure? That's the soup of the day!... mmm that sounds good...I'll have that!
Cant wait to try it out
Change is good!
Change is good!
please please do tell where this is being hosted!!!! I think this is an excellent releae to say the least!!!!
its not posted yet.. i had my own personal version that might have had some junk people didnt want, i am now working with Dr. P as we speak on this.. as soon as we get the bugs worked out we will post it on the ftp and let you know
just an update
we are 90% of the way there.... almost all bugs have been ironed out... Here is what is being added:
zoA2DP
ammar_Wireless_Today_Plugin
BT_COM_PORT
TRE
total-comander
WiFiFoFum2
Omapclock_and_Omapclockplusv0.0.4
Wireless.Scanner-Hitchhiker0.4b1
SearchToday
TodayAgenda_PPC
NETCFv2
These here are the 1800message.com programs
PPC2003PMVault *this is an online text/contacts/pics/call log back up
SPWM5CallRec *and this is the call recorder
we have also removed cingular Xpress mail, Goodlink and some other cingular garbage... But it DOES keep the MEdia Net and My Isp settings, as well as MMS settings
awesome if its stable... please post when done..
thanks
so far its solid!!! well that is for at least the 8125... anyone with a different wizard using cingular wanna give it a go? Im just adding the finishing touch's now... and will test it throughout the night.. Im hoping for a tomorrow release..
Is it going to be possible to remove the programs that you listed? Like the Wififorom one, and others? I have no need for those and don't like having them installed on the phone. besides that I am ver excited about this. Does this also remove the cingular branding?????????
I think that there might be two versions when we're done. shogunmark is doing this one with me "of council", critiquing and rendering some advise. So far it's really looking nice. Once done with this we'll probably create a more basic, streamlined version. Molski created the version I've been running with various requests and it's quite nice. It's been two weeks or so and it's quite stable. I've added my own additional reg tweaks to the DP-Molski Extended ROM and they've been imcorporated into the shogunmark ROM along with other's we've agreed on.
Hang tight as I think that it'll be worth the wait.
I also think 2 versions will be the way to go... one 'bare bones' version that includes just a bare version of windows + registry tweaks (802.11g etc.), and a more complete version with all the goodies (wififofum, omapclock, etc).
I for one am excited!!!!
shiiiiiit... i could have done a basic one days ago :shock: but let me finish this project and i will create a stripped down one with the cingular settings and the basic reg edits... would you all possibly want the new omap clock plus in that as well?
I think the stripped down version with the tweaks would be a great feature!! I hate hard resetting mine and then having to do all the tweaks!
well ill put my 2 cents in just because I am interested in this build.
omapclock is such a small and simple program that probably every wizard owner uses, so I say include it in both releases.
also (and pardon me if this is not possible with our device...) will this ROM (complete version) include a2dp?
thanks again buddy!!!
I downloaded the beta AIM from the aim.com site, installed it and it seemed to work fine but then I went to check on it and the program wasn't open and tried to run it again and it gives an error.
Anyone know how to get aim working or is there some issue, alternative? Thanks
Well, what error does it give?
Also, you may want to look at alternatives such as Slick, Jivetalk, Palringo, Fring, etc.
I've used a few different clients, and I'd recommend BeeJive.
Nevermind...Didn't realise the device came with a pre-installed program that has AIM wrapped into it.
Sorry for wasting space!
Hi,
I have 3PAYG using with Hero. The problem I am facing is:
Whenever i install any ROM which is not customised for 3 mobile, then i am unable to run skype on it. I get an error and skype closes immediately after signing in. Even I am unable to get the 3 Favorites page while using this ROM.
But when i use 3 customised ROM, then i get all the features available from 3 including skype.
Is there a work around to fool 3 while still using a non-3 ROM. I did some search on this forum, but couldnt find anything relevant. Apologies, if this has been discussed somewhere else, in that case please can anyone give me alink to that thread.
Many thanks
kish
I've been trying to work out exactly the same. Modaco 3.2 works great as that was based off a 3 Rom. Have you tried other 1.5 ROMs as i've not yet got round to seeing if it doesn't work because its incompatible with 2.1 or whether it is in fact that there is something hidden in the ROM from 3?

nope mate, i have tried just the v2.1 ROMS and unfortunately skype works on none of them. I think there are indeed some settings (root certificates, etc)
If some of the senior member can shed some light on this, it will be great.
if you could attach the skype apk here that might help. other than that, have you tried skype lite? available on the internet[tm]

says "sorry, we don't have skype coverage where you are" when i try to log on... can't tell you more, sry.
if it's anything like the way 3 validate sony ericsson phone then there will be a certificate that you have to install to use their services.
I may not be a hero owner but this is just an idea:
anyone that's flashed a WM rom will know that when the ROM is first installed it runs through a series of tasks set out by an .xml file.
The way networks brand their phones is through this .xml file, it contains logos to replace the boot screen and wallpaper, also it contains an instruction to install the certificates to the phone.
This is because its easier for the network's techies to just create something like this than modifying the ROM itself.
This is true also for sony ericsson phones, its called a custpack.
For WM its called ExtROM.
My question is this: is there anything (remotely) like an ExtROM/Custpack for android/hero ROMS?
Josh.
Not sure if this info is any help here guys but I have a unbranded generic white hero, non rooted on stock 1.5 using a 3 simcard and I am able to download both skype and messenger from the 3 site and can use no problems.
The build number on my phone is 2.73.405.66 hope this helps

But to get the free skype to skype calls that 3 offer I'm thinking you would probably have to use the version provided by 3?
Its the main reason I haven't upgraded to 2.1, free skype and free messenger is to good to lose, but please correct me if I'm wrong here
Thanks but that's not what we're looking for, as that's skype lite which requires you to use skype credit to receive calls. What we're looking for is "skype beta on 3" which uses a special number to dial out and doesn't require credit to receive calls. The program is on the market, but that version only works with 1.5 NOT 2.1.
Although I hear that an update is on its way soon.
any luck anyone..
i think it relates to how 3 customises its phones (there should be some way in which authenticates which phones have 3 ROM)...

Don't think that is the case, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am not using a 3 rom and have no problems accessing planet 3 and downloading the skype and messenger applications.
As I am using the generic unbranded HTC rom I find it highly unlikely to have been customized by 3!
So maybe the problem is not so much something that is missing but more likely some thing in the roms that shouldnt be there? just a thought
any thought by senior members?

Right... i'd have a read through here as it explains the issue a little more

What i wrote on the other thread regarding trying to run this on a 2.1 based rom below. Please note i've now had no problem running it on any 1.5 based rom, and have heard even some 1.6 devices have it running perfectly on a rom never touched by three, straight from another carrier.
I'm no dev, but looking at logcat, it seems the 'skype on 3 beta' crashes when trying to write the 'skype service' contact to the phonebook.
it errors trying to write to *content uri:* contacts/people/(number)/extensions as far as i can tell through my basic understanding, is that writing in that method is not supported under anything later than 1.6. It has been replaced by a new method.
I hope either some dev can workout what to change or we'll have to wait until three let it escape/release it!!! As i've worked out how to take apart the apk but lost when it comes to smali.

* slight edit here.
Is there such a thing as an original ROM from Microsoft? Would this work on the T2 or would I still need to load drivers and other items to get it to work on AT&T 3G?
6.5.5 or any other similar branch hasn't RTMed from what I know yet. These branches will end up as WM6.6 (WP6.6).
And they are mostly for capacitive touchscren phones, not for our resistive.
Thanks for the reply. Let me re-ask. Where can I find a virgin 6.5.whatever ROM that is close to the base OS from Microsoft before the chefs add their touches? Honestly, I am minimilist and I want to run Titanium with the built in IE and not much else.
Looking at all the ROMs, even the default from HTC, I cannot tell you what is native Windows Mobile and what has been cooked in.
Thanks for your help.
You're gonna have to cook
Get latest build from MS here at Chef Central in huge "Last SYS" thread and dump some stock ROM (2.07) to get drivers. Don't forget to add the base OEM packages as well, like Camera, SensorSDK etc, otherwise most of the stuff like GSensor, ... won't work

This is as close as you'll find.

There are a number of stock ROMs in this forum, do a search. However all of these were designed for a specific carrier, and will have the carrier bloatware. MS does not sell their OS directly to the public, so you have to use what the carrier or HTC puts on there.
Actually, it is very simple to remove sense from a stock ROM and rebuild it. Check out the kitchen software programs. The difficult thing about building your own ROM is trying to ADD stuff - that gets complicated.
i cant seem to find it in the marketplace or anything , this is crazy . if anyone can help please do .
7 days no reply? i'm in the same boat this sucks!
Same here. I'd be able to switch my HD2 to Windows Phone 7 as my main OS once I have this. Not having a chat client that can communicate via AIM is the only thing that's holding me back from it.
hey codecon, what did u use to run AIM on your HD2?

Currently, with WinMo 6.5.5 I use Palringo. But I'm still waiting for a Windows Phone 7 version of either Palringo or IM+.
I wish MS would hurry up and release the update that allows sockets and multi-tasking. At that point WinMo 7 would be the bomb.
IM+ is available for WP, it has been for a while lol
Yeah, I forgot it's 2012... the thread is old
So, I use IM+ but it doesn't stay open in the background. This is one of the OS's downsides. I know AIM isn't used much, but the point is that it is still used. They need to make it available.
