It looks like WM5 is now up and running on the BA, and sincere respect for you chaps that did this . One question...
Has anyone tried the new messaging features with Exchange SP2 (using the Messaging and Security feature pack. This is the capability which provides Blackberry like email notifications. Exchange ActiveSync needs a cherry on top, and boy this would be the one!

I have looked at the wiki for cooked WM6 ROMs, however I am confused as to which one is best for an Orange SPV M3100?
Do all of these work on the M3100 as some say XDA?
It seems that the vanilla one has a few problems with missing icons, sd card dropping, remote desktop missing, no video calling etc.. Are there specific patches for these problems or do you have to put a different ROM on there?
Thanks
Mark
I'm running WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-15) (WM6 Pro Style) on my M3100, and it runs really nicely. You can enable the video call skin easily on it. Only thing that doesn't work properly (and is the same on ALL WM6 roms so far) are voicemail notifications - they come through as test messages. Not a big problem though.
I use the same version as above. The black edition does seem a bit faster but it seems to have problems with the latest version of spb weather. LVSW has no problems with this so i would say its the most stable which is a shame, Black Edition just looks so dam sexy. Voicemail notifications are not a problem for me because I use my device on 3 UK who sent a text for voicemails anyway.
Just remember if you decide to take the plunge to WM6:
Goodlink will only work on WMXL v.20/.21
You must have Activesync 4.5 installed to sync your device
Push email will only work with Exchange 2007
S.K.

I beg to differ on the exchange 2007 bit, my push email is working fine and we use Exchange 2003 SP2 at my work.
I'm running the WMXL on an Orange SPV M3100 and it runs fine! The push mail is working with an Exchange 2003 SP2 server, and it works except for the HTML. If you want HTML and push mail with Exchange, you need Exchange 2007.
Is it possible to apply all changes/differences to the Vanilla version that exist in the LVSW version or do you have to blast the phone away and start again?
Thanks
Black Edition has problems while putting device on sleep
call accept and call disconnect many times keep lit
also I had alarm fire up failure
It's trully a FAST release but I think It eats up battery much more faster
WMXL if the stablest I've used till now
with no major problems ...
PLEASE to all Cookers
REMOVE the nifty Registry editor
The Included Task manager already has THE BEST Registry manager I've ever seen that has the ability to search, Import and export.
It's trully amazing software!
also Please do your best to If possible to optimize ROM
so as at end of customization the free RAM count to be around 29~30MB...
I would go with Black Edition..Very Quick.
Orange SPV M3100 and LVSW WM6 Pro even for me.....really stable and clean rom!....give it a try ;-)
I am currently running the WM6 Black Edition and so far I like this WM6 ROM the most. It really works quickly and is stable for me...this is the most important feature!
My only issues with it are that Spb Pocket Plus cannot be installed and that sometimes TomTom 6 does not see the maps on the storage card. The TomTom issue can be solved by simply removing and inserting the memory card. The Pocket Plus issue is going to continue for a while. However, there is not much you could miss from that with WM6 and all that is included.
The LVSW version from 3/13 was excellent as well. It did not have any of the problems I mentioned and was almost as quick. It uses the old WM5 dialer in the phone though. Both perform the same function but in the Black Edition it just looks better.
So far I am not sure which is BEST, but the LVSW version never gave me a problem. The Black Edition has shown to little issues, as I mentioned, but it is quicker and looks much better.
I don't know why someone said that Voicemail notifications arrive as text messages. On my phone, with all of the ROMs I have used, they arrive as normal with the VoiceMail icon in the top bar.

Push email works fine from exchange 2003 sp2 with the black edition 1.1
I thought I'd share this since I haven't seen any posts here regarding the Funambol plugin. I run it on my 8525 and Motorola Q. On the desktop, I run Slackware 12 Linux with Thunderbird/Lightning for my Email/Calendar client. I also run my own Funambol server. With this setup, I can sync anywhere wirelessly and not have to rely on any third party servers. If I flash a new rom, I just install the Funambol plugin on my phone, setup the URL to my server and hit Sync and I've got all my contacts & calendar entries back.
I've tested the Funambol plugin with Thunderbird/Lightning on WinXP and it works just as well. You can use public SyncML servers as well from what I've read.

Can contact pictures and Notes be synced?
The notes sync fine, the picture doesn't. I only have one picture so far (my wife) and Thunderbird's address book doesn't seem to support a picture. When I reload my rom next time ill note if the pictures sync back. edit: Nope, no pics.
Theres an Outlook plugin as well for folks that prefer Microsoft byproducts {{shiver}}

For anyone out there that has a Scalix Groupware server and wants to sync to WinMo (via Funambol) I started an open source connector that syncs contacts and calendar items.

Guys,
Just got my P3600, flashed with bepe WM6 image which is really stable bar for the email accounts disappearing.
Does anyone know of a really simple email app that just downloads from the server but keeps the messages on the server. Also would like it to check every 5minutes and tie in with the HTC today page as it currently displays the outlook email.
Also, what are the must have applications for this? Is there a good list i can have a look through?
Cheers
Must have applications list for P3600 with WM5 can be found on
LDCWeb2.0 (french)
All applications in this list are available also for WM6 or few are now useless (because natively included in the OS).
For your purpose, according Pocket Outlook is not enough for you, perharps you can try emoze or morange.
thanks for the suggestions,
is pocket outlook the version thats loaded on by default as i have problems with the accounts disappearing....
Hello.
Sorry for this dumb question, but this windows mobile is getting a real pain in the a**. Is it possible that in 2008 there are no filters for Mail ?!?
Do you know of a replacement for the messaging program (or at least Mail) ?!?
Do you know of a way of having mail automatically sorted based on some (even simple) filters/rules ?
Thanks.

I use flexmail 2008 beta and I have to say its so much improved from 2007
I was wondering if anyone has been able to use the Gmail java app on WM 6.1 on the excalibur? When I try to log in after I run it, there is some error, the applet closes and I get the message "This file cannot be viewed on this device".
Any ideas? I tried to install a newer Jbed+opera mini+gmail pack yesterday from one of the other forums, but it didn't work very well and had display problems compared to the Jbed version included in the 6.1 roms. Are the newer esmertec jbed versions better? I found several 2008 revisions on the forums, but can't tell if theyre for smartphone or just for WM pro.
Thanks in advance!
Why not just add your gmail account to your phone and skip the java app? It's unnecessary.
I have the same problem. Luckily Opera Mini works fine.

Have to agree, unless you mean using the gmail layout as homepage, to which i don't think works on Mobile devices?
I have been using gmail with the phone's built in email system, which has been OK, except that I cant seem to send any emails through gmail's smtp server. I wanted to switch to the java app because one of the local cell phone providers has a cheap unlimited on device browsing option that doesn't work with the phone's email system but apparently does with the java gmail app. Looks like I'm stuck with opera mini then! Thanks!
I would go to your Gmail account and enable IMAP, then use that on the Excalibur's standard email account handler. IMAP is far superior to POP/SMTP especially when you check mail from multiple locations- any deletions (or even marking something read) are passed up to the server so you only manage your emails once.
There are tutorials on Gmail's site that detail getting IMAP enabled, and also how to configure your typical mobile phone to use the IMAP settings. It was easy for me.
I think the gmail java app works by IMAP also. At least that was my experience with gmail mobile on a blackberry.
I am having the same problem as the initial post. has anyone figured this out? please don't tell me to use wm's native email client. I know I can do that. i need to use gmail's java midlet. i have tried installing other midlet managers but they don't work either. is there a way to uninstall the dash's native gui java midlet manager?

Using the phones email client takes away your search ability as well as the label system which I use alot.
