Develop Bugs

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.

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,

Thanks, Drooch, I might just give that a go.

Brand new to tytn, some advice needed pls..

Wass up guys and gals,
I've been happily using Imate Jasjar/cingular 8125 for the longest time but i just got the softbank version of HTC tytn. I must say that it feels very good using the tytn because of its size (specially if you are moving over from jasjar)
Anyways i upgraded my tytn to Schaps WM6 WWE version 3.54C but i am confused about the fact that my wizard still runs alot faster and stable then the tytn. i even get better signal on my wizard where as my tytn only gets 2 or 3 bars. I am also not able to play some vids in tcpmp even after trying this http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc-hermes/10022-updated-hermes-tcpmp-v0-81-unofficial-hybrid-media-player-all-codecs-here.html
Guys tytn is suppose to be an upgrade from wizard but it seems to me that wizard is a more stable device???
Let me know what you guys think about this and also are there any other ROMS better then the 1 i am currently running?? if so then pls do let me know u guys.
Thanks alot in advance
I'll be waiting for all your replies....
Farhan

Anyone??
Anyone ??
come on u guys, i would like to hear yr side of the story
Cheers

do you own a wizard with UMTS\HSDPA ?
I'm jocking , in many things you are right....

Well, I have not had the same experience. It is possible that some added apps you are running are causing conflicts. I would make sure you have the latest versin of whatever ROM you are using.
I have great stability with Black Satin and I hear that many are very good - Schaps (as you are using), VP3G, Sleuth (sorry if I missed any).
Try your rom with few other apps for a while and see if stability and responsiveness improve. Also, you probably do not want to judge reception based on bars, but rather by performance. Bars are just drawn on there - not really a strong indicator of reception quality.
Good luck.

Thanks alot for your replies u guys,
The only 3rd party software iam running is TCPMP and thats it nothing else.
I guess at this point my only and biggest issue is that iam not able to play some vids on tcpmp that played just fine on my jasjar
for example i have a 19 mb mpeg-4 clip that played just fine my on JJ but on my tytn it will play for about 5-10 secs and the gets stuck for 1-2 secs and so on...
I'll be a very happy man if there is a fix for this
Cheers

Anyone

Have you tried the ATIFix from Sleuth, take a look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297717
And try to get a copy of CorePlayer 1.1, better performance than TMPCP...

I ran several different builds on my Wizard and am now running Schap's on my Hermes (have also run v3gp). In my experience the Hermes definitely runs faster.

So..what ROMs is everyone using...and why?

What is your prefered WM6 ROM?
What are the differences?
I am using AX3L and am quite happy with it but there are others and it would be good to get some views to save me (and others) having to re-flash to see the differences etc....

using mary 1.1 at the moment works fine

I'm using FAMAN's WM6 FR 3.2 fixed ... very very good ROM !!
I've tried Indigo Lite version, very good ROM too (but I prefer FAMAN's one because of french language)

I have tried pretty much every room. I now using the latest from Bepe .72 just reloaded yesterday. I did try the mary 1.1 one thing I did not like was the sms/mms which are seprate and I would like them into one dir. I tried to install the archsoft cab but did not work it still showed the mms folder. I have to say thought that I did like it and the extented rom was nice.
for the italian version. I have tried luigi, lasagna, fly and udK. I have to say that the touch he has done on it was great, nice and love it.. I did like lasagna's second screen a lot.. very nice touch Guybrush..Then, in the last few updates I have created my own screen splash from the tips of main page so I put a diff main screen attached here..(I love linux)..
my wishes.
use the lastest Dopod release with TomTom, live search, google maps, kaiser interface from Bepe which allows me to select diff number on speed dial on the kaiser, where others did not have that options. I would like to have them in color, use the battery info and a few other programs with the option to see the extened rom. I wish that bepe's rom would work with the htcustom but it does not.. So here you are..
Thanks.

I use the full indigo rom.. i tried the ax3l rom, but couldn't get the VPN to work.
now 2 colleagues have also installed this rom, and they are very happy with it.

using faman rom
faman's rom, its in french, i tried Mun's rom, great also, try pdaviet, but return to faman's one.

Faman 3.2 Fixed...
She's in french, and all I need work fine.

bepe's rom obviously, full version, reason: fits my needs.

bepe made a new rom for Trinity - where? I want it
Damn - I've been looking at the thread posts and thought that the ROM was just German. Great to see a new ROM from bepe - loved his other one. Can't wait to get my phone back with nre paint to flash this ROM

I'm still on LVSW's 2.0.1.1 ROM, it's pretty stable and has few bugs.

I use Lasagna 2.1.2 (italian) and is stable and fast.
I prefer this because it has few programs inside ROM and a good storage.
Bye

yeah the Trinity lacks english rom's currently.
i'd really really like to see a rom similar to schap's 3.54c on the trinity, that would be awesome.
anyways, thanks to all the chef's that have been cooking froms for the trinity. look forward to newer ones!
please make them like schaps!

Indigo Full
I use Indigo Full. Very good and stable rom when you get it to work. When I first flashed this rom, there was a lot of bugs. Therefore I flashed back the Indigo Lite. I thought I would give it another try and then flashed Indigo Full again and somehow everything was working fast and stable. Touchflo, windows mobile device center in Vista and all the other stuff that has been reported as problems with this rom. Now that everything is ok, I think this is the best rom available at this time. Have used a lot of cooked roms and originals, but I'm amazed by this. But of course, that's my opinion and everyone's free to have theire own

Hey Jason!
Tell me you weren't serious about the Trinity lacking English ROMs.
WM6: AX3L, bepe, mUn, LVSW, PDAVIET, MARY, Shadowmite and Dopod Official ROMS - each has seen several versions - and as a result we must have about 30 available WM6 English ROMs for our Trinity. 3 months ago people were saying that WM6 for the Trinity would never get there.
I think that there are som great ROMs out there. Share with us what you like about schaps ROMs (what device does he make them for) - what makes them superior in your opinion - that'll give some ideas to our Trinity chefs perhaps?

If only Schap would do a trinity rom! That would be awesome! Im using INDIGO FULL - only problem i have is the operator settings keep dissappering (and iv done all the tricks mentioned!)

Using latest LSVW. Wanted to use the latest AX3L but after flashing the splash screen became white and later on my Today was totally messed up. Do not know why this happened because the update was fine on another P3600 of my friend. Anyway, the LSVW rom is fine, pretty fast and nicely stripped so no problems here.

hey nealed! nice hearing from you.
Well the current ROM's are quite dated. I'm still running LVSW's on my trinity and really miss the slick functions on Schaps for Hermes'. From the screen shots their just missing a few things.
You must say Schaps is the most complete ROM out there. I'd really like too see someone copy Schaps for the Trinity. I really like the HTC Today on it and just everything he's placed in it. there's really no rubbish in it.
anyways i'm picky and i'm jsut waiting for a awesome chef to make a ROM thats pretty much identical to schaps.
thanks to all the chefs!

[08 11 2007] (Vanilla) Debranded WM5 AKU3.3 T-Mob rom

Sorry for the removal. Please read reason for editing.

good work, I'll test soon
Thanks

Well done! everything working as it should, no need to tweak gprs and previous splash is a nice plus! Thanks again.

Very Good ROM! Thanks

I just installed the ROM on an O2 XDA. So far it works thanks!
I used the trick to soft restart at the countdown to prevent all the guff being installed.
The main reason for this upgrade was the device using the latest official O2 ROM from I think 2006 the bluetooth does not work properly with my jag hands-free. But with this ROM it seems to work so thanks very much. At last I can use my phone in the car.
The exact version I flashed was using the CID bypassed version, copied in the 3 files from the official Tmobile then replaced one of them with the vanilla install. This I gathered was the thing to do after much forum reading.
I have a few of questions:
How do I select any of the cabs that I skipped installing and install them? Where are they? How do I know what they are and if they are any use?
My old ROM based on AKU2(.2?) had a program called task manager which I used to see what was running and end it (usually the media player). Has this been replaced in this version and if so what by and if not where can I get it?

Re:
PsiDoc
Nice idea this one!!!
I m downloading right now in order to try it.
Forgot to mention..., thanks for the streaming ext rom this will save some manuall configuration.

Phone skin debrand T-mobile?

@Z£Y$
Let me know how you get on with this mate. Particularly have a look at the MMS settings with the 3UK rom. It went a bit weird with me on the rom install.

It's basically the latest (September 2007) AKU3.3 T-Mobile rom but with all the horrid looking branding ripped out and the god awful dialer pad reskinned with O2's much nicer one.
Is that a bit clearer for you?

Congrats on the new ROM PSIdoc!

Old story back again with this rom: green light flashing but device off line, no incoming or outgoing calls untill soft reset and randomly same problem faced again.

it'a so good that i actually want someone to come up with bug report.i dont know about the green light flashing.i dont have them?

@tailazoom
What radio version are you using mate? I know that 1.18 has some known crashing problems with WM5. The original rom was bundled with 1.17. Perhaps downgrading to 1.15 may sort it out as I know that os rock solid. I am using said bundled 1.17 and have so far only had 1 problem with a GPRS failure to connect. I couldn't pinpoint it 100% to the radio, so I am waiting for it to happen again.
Just my own thoughts.

Thanks PsiDOC for answering. I'm using radio 1.17 and with the official t-mobile wwe aku3.3 i have no problems except:
1) iexplorer unable to connect unless i use a program to tweak gprs settings
2) unable to force manually GSM band

what can i do with this file?how can i install it on my qtek 9000?

This looks as though it could be just what I need, rather than going to WM6What was taken out from this vanilla version compared to the full flavoured one.
Will you be doing a full flavoured version with your tweaks to get rid of the awfull branding stuff. Regards John

JohnWB,
The vanilla version is as the rom came from the OEM, in this case T-Mobile, with nothing added into it. The only things changed in the rom is all the T-Mobile branding is removed and the Dialler Skin replaced, purely beus it was painful on the eyes!
A fully loaded version means that extra apps have been added to the rom that saves you the trouble and the storage space. This can be pretty much anything with tweaking of the rom.
I am currently testing this rom with a few apps added in the rom, including:
Opera 8 web Browser,
Ps Shut XP. (WM Reboot Tool)
Registry Editor
Contacts Backup
SMS Message Backup
Notepad
Mobile Office 2007 (Word, Exel, Powerpoint & One Note) - Still Buggy Though
And a few others
Am also thinking about reskinning the entire rom with a "The Matrix" style theme as the default. Maybe I have said too much here....
Sadly am working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week at the mo as we have a big job on where I work, so not much time to progress it at the mo but I am doing a bit where I can.
Psi

Thanks for the info Psi, just what I needed to know, John
