XT-9 as .CAB installation

FTP @ Uploads/Excalibur/Tweaks and utilities
XT9.cab
ok that successfully turned on the xt9 but now where the number keys are it will only type #'s not the letters.....
wow?
t9 for htc excalibur rom awesome too bad i already reverted back to the t mobile dash!
how did you revert back?
XT9 Works! but problems..
Same here, On my Excalibur Some letters don't match the keypad, The numbers stay numbers even if I press the FN key. Also when I turn off T9 and switch it back to ABC all the problems are still present.. BUT I still want XT9 so i'll wait for any updates..
ok 1 more thing.. how the hell do u uninstall it?? There's no XT9 uninstaller in the remove program list..
i couldnt uninstall it I had to do a clear strorage...
Yup same here.. Clear Storage all the way.. At least its a clean phone again.. hahha
Leoiden, How did you revert back to the Tmobile Dash rom???
lets keep contributing guys we need more resources to try out,especially the members who only ask questions but do not share the resources they could like dpod 720 owners or htc s680 owners!anyways Enjoy fellow t mobile dash members Tip: how to revert back you ask?http://ul54.rapidshare.com/files/10....531.2_4.1.13.24_02.48.90_T-MobileUS_SHIP.zip
Thank you Leoiden... much appreciated the share of that one
Thanks for the info.. I hate people have to be so greedy.. If I was able to get my hands on ROMS I would For sure share what I got.. But for now I'm stuck to just testing out stuff and finding solutions for problems that occur.
you,re welcome! guys just one question how did you guys feel after actually realizing you could revert back i know i could not wait reason why is that it feels good to know that you can still be covered for repairs if needed too!
Thanks a ton for letting us know where to get the TMobile ROM!!!!! So you haven't had any issues after using this ROM? Everything appears to be OK?
How I feel now is I will definitely be more willing to try out the other ROMs now to see if I like them better... As long as this TM Rom appears ok...
So I decided to try the tmobile ROM on my S620 and it works, but there's no other Keyboard support Except for the DASH Layout.. I need to use Keyboard layout 2057 For the European Keypad.. But the registry wouldn't take cuz theres no supporting files.. So Does anyone know how to extract the language pack from the HTC S620 ROM??

Would you recommend Crossbow?

Now that some time has passed, and Crossbow has gained a bit of ground, as well as some reviews and testers, based on your experiences, would you recommend Crossbow to the general public?
Also, a personal question, if I would like to use Messenger to share files as well, and a faster device, would you recommend crossbow to me?
Thanx in advance for your responses!
Crossbow on Universal is highly recommended.
At least, I can't see any reason to NOT recommend it over WM5.
Stable, fast, better features. Give it a go!
V
But there is no working video call in WM6 yet.
This can be solved, but unfortunately no developers have 3G in their area to test it
I have 3G here, I can test, but no software to test.
WM6 on the Universal? I wouldn't recommend it (yet). Most ROMs have a buggy wifi, email (resolved on some), mms (resolved on some), etc.
And as mentioned, no video call.
But if you don't need video call and wifi... Go ahead with Crossbow. You might wanna try Midget's or Ivan's latest.
Everything is working fine on crossbow, but, IMHO, the only glitch is the issues with WIFI like you cannot connect to wpa networks
Second issue is buggy video call
general impression positive. Things that I'm missing:
-wifi (wpa)
-phone keypad (still would like to be able text with one hand from time to time).
however I don't miss it much enough to get my previous ROM (not yet anyway).
I believe this are only temporary problems. Big thanks for such a good work.
I don't recommend it!
-First of all: NO VIDEO CALL.
-WIFI problem!!!!
-Quick rings FREEZE your phone.
-Outlook problems
So this week-end i'll downgrade to WM5..
WM6 it's VERY powerfull.. But we don't have a REAL working Universal ROM.
..That's a shame..

Everytime I install a new WM6 rom, then, after 0.5h playing with it, I m always back to my trusty WM5's ROM(see my sig)
i have the videocall option for 2 years on my contract.
since then i have 5-6 hours of free videocall that i never used because most people don't have videocall, and because it is much easier to speak on a BT handsfree than to keep the 300g monster in my hand, pointed to my face while walking on the street.
so, i don't realy understand the need of videocall.
but i need wifi very much.
now i am using the original ROM that camed with my spv m5000.
should i upgrade to a newer WM5, or should i stay with the original one untill the release of a WM6 with wifi support?

I think you have to ask this question to ROM cookers..
MY PERSONAL opinion is that we have to wait.
SO: don't lose your time....
HELP
how to get back to wm 5 from wm 6

Best ROM? 838Pro on Optus/Australia

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could please tell me which ROM is best for good battery life and excellent stability? I have been having problems with the shipped WM5 ROM and want to throw my Dopod in the ocean! Stability sucks, keys stop working, it's just awful.
I hope a good WM6 upgrade will fix my problems!! Please help.
Adam.

If you're willing to try one, then try many. You'll get lots of opinions, but like anything - it's your own that will count.
Read through the rom threads and pick one. They're all pretty good - just depends on what you want it to include.
All the ROMS have their positive's and negative's. but if u just want to move to WM6 and things just work (eg, dont have to enter settings, etc..) then download the SEA dopod WM6 ROM. it has all the settings for Australian providers and after 2weeks of useage, ive had no major issues.
in short
if u want things to just work...... SEA dopod WM6 ROM
if u want a customized ROM (manual settings entry)..... pick any ROM
(overall the devices with WM6 are more stable and increase battery performance)
just try them all!!
Drooch
Thanks Matt, I have been trawling and trawling and can't really come up with an answer to my question that is why I was hoping that someone with some experience might be able to help.
Thanks,
adam.
Thanks, Drooch, I might just give that a go.

Txt & Talk

Ok So Am I the only Asshole That txts and Talks at the same time ? Seems Like Every other ROM I Choose to Upload seem to Not Capitalize on this FIX. Really GREAT, FAST & STABLE Roms Seem to Just Look the Other Way Like this doesn't Bother them or Don't really care. I mean Not sure how many other People Multi-Task on There TyTn but I"m on IE,Writing an Email, WHile Recieving Txt message And on the Phone RELIGIOUSLY ! I can't see how this isn't Bothering Other Users or Basically not a Must in Some of the Great Roms. I've gone To Great Lengths To Annoy The **** out of Rom Cookers lol Constantly Reminding them or At least Post in there threads that This Bug does Occur in the ROM. Updates are released Yet there its Still Not Fixed ??
I mean Am I the only ONE ? I love to Test New Roms when They Come out. I"m on a new ROM every other Week And Usually the only Thing that Keeps me from Testing them More than a Week for Two is the "In Call Fixed Keyboard"
I really Wish this was an Easy Cab Fix But Unfortunately With Numerous Post in Different Threads And talking to Different Cooks it appears to be Something You have to Cook into the ROM(Something to have to do with the Keyboard.dll File)
This Is Just An Inquiry into How many People this Really bothers and/or effects Not to Mention a Desperate Hope to Make this Fix a Standard in Every Rom. I mean Seriouly How many Roms do you See that you Still have to Use the PTT Fix ? Not Many So Why This Problem Still ? ? ?
When I cook My Own From Using "mattk_r" Kithcen I Don't have this Problem ?
So I'd like other members to post about this ? Just Curious about what other people think Or am I Just knit picking ?
& B4 Rom Cookers Get Offended It's not a Stab. You all have done Great work I just feel with all the Great roms out there alot of them seem to Never get this fix Right or Don't Care too....Much Respect.
Updated !
Roms With "Keyboard keys NOT locked as numeric while in-call!"
Vp3G's
TnT S.E.
S64 3.63
S64 HTC WWE
K's Rom v1.30b and All Other K Rom's
More to Come....
I just tried this and have the problem also. While I don't normally txt while on the phone I'm sure it will happen at some point.
So yes I would like to see this fix cooked in also..
It is something that cooks often "forget" to fix..and some just don't know how the heck to fix it. Also, if you decide to fix the keyboard issue, you cannot map hot voice to button 5. Somebody will always be complaining. It is one of those things that when you patch a hole, another hole appears. Things just get overlooked sometimes, and it takes a few revisions to get the Rom to a stable stage. Regardless all my Roms have the keyboard fix - you can text with HW k/b and call at the same time.
LoL @ "FORGET" & "Regardless all my Roms have the keyboard fix"
Very True.... I've heard of the double Edge Sword as far as people not being able to Fix them ? how did you ? or you mean Fixing this without th Double Sided Problem of "Hot Voice" ?
And my Other Question ? "Hot Voice" ? Is tha tThe PTT ?
Edit : I'll Test your K's Rom's when I get home and Add your ROM to my List...
CAB Fix?
Does this exist as a CAB which I could apply to any ROM?
...yes, I've search and searched....and no one has a patch. Only certain ROMs have the fix cooked in.
Thanks.
i usually end up back with vp3G's last rom because of this. I've been trying others, but it's just too much of a pain to not have the keyboard while in a call. I usually try a new rom for a while then need to use the keyboard while in a call and end up re-loading vp3G's rom.
Like I said, you either have to pick the keyboard fix, or hotvoice mappable to button 5. Unfortunately there isn't a way to have both working. I thought I nailed it at one point but apparently I didn't, so I decided to stick with the keyboard fix as I do occasionally surf and talk at the same time. If the bug was not reported to the cook, it could be overlooked.
Understood kin0kin
I don't want the hotvoice button. Can I patch a ROM to fix this?
Thanks.
I have the same issue. I am always on the phone and texting and I have to tell the person to call me back so I can finish the txt. I would loooove to se a fix to this.
There is no Patch or Quick cab Fix for this. The Keyboard.dll Needs to be Cooked into the ROM. However if you use one of the Roms I"ve Stated Above or Build ur own you won't have this Issue.

I dought it, 'cause first off, there's no official wm6.5 , so how can there be a wm7.0 update, and maybe an 3VO, not even close, unless they stole the rom's name from oOkBa himself.
Ookba created the name of 3VOlution Roms, so i don't see how you could have a 3VO update unless coming from oOkBa.
Every single 6.5 rom running on ppc's or smarphone's are all beta, all of them.
Further more if M$ ever get off their a$$ and release a true official Windows Mobile Rom update for the 6.1 , either a 6.5 or a 7.0, it won't be for the Dash/Excalibur, it will be for a much newer device with a much faster processor and lots more ram. Shoot go ask ookba how hard was for him to get the wm6.5 to work as smooth as it does now on the dash.
no. no . i haven't link! It was a warning message on my s620 ,but i was ay work so i ignored it!! It was happen the same in August..and in fact after some days Evo rom 2.50 was out! I don't know exactly why!

I think he's forgetting something, before M$ releases any rom, it will be here, being used by us, as we are the beta testers
I do not know why but I swear .. is the second time that this happens!
and every time I'm busy and I can not understand the meaning of the message because i press dismiss this
ufff!!
I also thought that maybe this is a message on the wm 6,5 official rom based...somehow reach users of that ROM!!
but surely I'm wrong!!

I have an official WM 6.5 ROM not yet released for the Maple. To be honest, it sucks. It looks excatly like WM 6.1 that shipped with the Maple with 2-3 extra apps and Windows Skymarkey that doesn't even work yet. No Titanium, nothing worth an upgrade. Lol.
Also, the only HTC devices scheduled for an official WM 6.5 update are the HTC Maple (SNAP, Dash3G), HTC Cedar (Ozone), and HTC Willow (HTC Snap S511).

Well, I don't know about this ... but I definitely will go with Vonrottes post. Maybe it's spam. Also, remember that evo roms doesn't have any windows update features in their rom versions so far...if I can recall. Regarding your screenshots get smartoolkit it has a very simple feature to capture a screenshot in your mobile or google it to find other app in the web.
ok...i will do..for next time!
now..after almost 7 days from usual message on my excalibur..EVO rom have an update!! Coincidenze????
