extracted from the jasjar 3.2 rom for all non imate users....and something extra...
Thank you very much fallenczar!!! Works great!!! Finally!!!
Another point for Microsoft Media Player
Why doesn't TCPMP come up with a TodayScreen Item.
TCPMP hasn't released a new verion for a long time, maybe they quit.
I also read somewhere that in Media Player, you can view movies full screen finally.
Do we still need TCPMP ?
tcmp
tcmp is releasing a full paid and unpaid (v1) player on 16th of oct.
keep a eye on <http://coreplayer.corecodec.org/>
cheers
Yes, I just upgraded to the AKU 3.2 and the WMP now displays video full screen. I noticed also, the video quality is smoother (I believe, from my experience) than using TCPMP. Since my upgrade to AKU 3.2, I have not find any reason to install TCPMP yet so far.

thanks you soooo much.
I had it, and got rid of it, it sucked my ram dry, I literally watched it go from 20mb to 3mb in a matter of minutes. perhaps the installation method.
also i dont find it any more functional at all than the SPB, and SPB takes up less today screen space.
Other experiences? does anybody else find it more functional, useful and more stable than not using it at all, or compared to the SPB plugin.

I tried both, the official WM Plug-in occupies less memory (175KB), SPB plug-in takes 475 KB. Plus, the official plug-in you can use the arrow keys to control the play, stop, fast forward, etc... buttons. SPB does not.
i didnt like spb except for the volume control. i use the official one all the time.
Thank you very much. This plugin work fine on my ASUS P535 WM5
I have tried to install SPBToPlay (freeware) before but it not work on WM5
thank you.......................
Does anyone know if there is a way to enlarge the controls to more 'finger-friendly' size? I would love to, but I don't know which file contains the images to enlarge, or what to open it with.
Pls don't blast me for posting this. I have read the black 2.5 thread and could not find a working solution for BB. The chef have mention that someone is cooking to make it work as its a "ball breaker" to edit it. he he i remember this is the master chef for black 2.5 words.
My question is whether anybody have got it to work.
not yet,
working progress........ on HEX editing the OS.nb that is.
walshieau is also looking at another way to hack the bbconnect executables for them to work on wm6 without HEX editing the OS.nb
only time will tell.

For many of us still holding on to get the blackberry connect working on 2.5.
Anxiously waiting.

Thanks everyone for their work on this!

An alternative to the BB Connect could be the new BB Application suite
http://www.rim.com/news/press/2007/pr-23_04_2007-01.shtml
Apperently full BB functionality on WM6
Don't know when or how it will be released. Hopefully it will be available as a standalone package but even if it is packaged with operator's roms I expect it won't be long before it is extracted and packaged as a standalone app.

Have you tried v4.0 of BB Connect for PPC?
I just installed it on my 838 Pro running Black 2.5 and it installs and seems to connect however I dont have a Blackberry sim card and i'm not sure if i have a license available for me on the BES server at my work (but i prefer Exchange push email anyway)
I posted about BB Connect 4.0 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304973
As was downloaded from the Dopod Website it could also be locked to Dopod devices but not sure.
EDIT: I just installed the ActiveSync BBConnect Desktop Software on Vista and it was able to tell my my account on the BES server isnt configured so looks like its working OK on my Black 2.5 device and Vista Laptop.
well this fantastic news if bbconnect works based on the new version.
now i can put my focus on black 3.0 as well the customization app entitled "PIMP MY BLACK" that will be part of Black 3.0

JJ,
I can confirm that BBC v4.0 does work on Black 2.0, but it does not work on 2.5. I flashed Black 2.5 and had no success, but am currently running BBC v4.0 with Black 2.0, with no problems. Might I add that BBC v4.0 allows syncing Contacts, Calendar, Task and Notes with BES and you can now view picture attachments
BB Connect 4 on Black 2.5
Trying BBC 4.0 on Black 2.5.
However no luck connecting.
However I know sometimes you need help from IT with renewed activation.
So more tomorrow and fingers crossed.

p.s. Installation allways work. Also with the older clients. Getting connected to RIM is often the issue.
BBC 4.0 working on Black 2.0
I got bbc 4.0 working on black 2.0. Seems to zip through 3G downloads. I like the bbc 4.0 ui but it enforces our IT policy regarding passwords which is awkward on hermes.

I agree, having the IT Policy automatic lock and password is very awkward and makes the 8525 very difficult to use. This was an unwelcome added feature.
Jasjamming, are you still planning on trying to fix blackberry with 2.5, or are you waiting for version 3.0.
Keep up the good work!
Was wondering is this release in relation to the application suite that RIM have indicated as i see a folder with BB Browser and BB IE browser which uses the data connection from BB toconnect to internet.
The password locking thing is neat but cumbersome. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the contacts over. I'm still using WM 5 as Black 2.5 as posted by other user doesnt seem to work.
Now trying to do the installation from a hard reset PPC and see how it goes.
I don't like the password thing at all....Looks like I may have to go back to previous bbconnect to get around it. Don't want to be typing the password everytime I want to check email....it was the reason to switch to 8525 and bbconnect from my blackberry in the first place.

Sorry.. Black 2.5 doesn't work. On black 2.0 it runs well.
JJ I would say focus on 3.0 for now and when its released focused on getting 3.0 to work with BB. Since its so close I think most of the BBC users can wait a bit longer on Black 2.0 and then move to Black 3.
Just my 2 cents,
Arnie
So besides the ability for our coporate Lotus Notes / BES admins to enforce policies, make me enter password every hour, shut my PPC down , enterprise activation, syncing contacts, tasks and notes and to view picture attachments what would be another appealing reason for me to upgrade from BBC 2.X ?
Have anyone tested BBC 4.0 on LVSW 0429 ROM yet ?
TIA
BBC Features comparison chart.
It did not work for me on the LVSW 0429 ROM, installed found server for about 5 secs said connected then dropped out.
Can someone offer some suggestions as to a good RSS new reader than will connect via 3G every "x" amount of minutes to download news say from the BBC.
Ideally it'll have a Today Screen plugin so that the information cycles or is readily availlable. Running WM6 Black 3.0.1 btw.
Thanks in advance.
Spb Insight is for me the best out there. Integrates perfectly with Spb Mobile Shell. You can scroll the news on your today screen or just use it as an application.
It's not free, but if you know your way you can find it on the net.
Works like a charm on WM6 Black 2.5
I use pRRSreader from - http://pda.jasnapaka.com/prssr/
It's free, although with Black 3.x I've found it slows the turn-on from standby and means that people calling you get an extra ring before you get the first. At the moment I just have it installed without the today plugin and it works fine.
You can set it to download every 1 to 9999 minutes.
Theres also a handy Wiki page on usefull software....
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Must_have_tools
Doesn't look like there are any RRS feeders on their so I'll go add the two mentioned.
SpB
Make sure you use Spb Insight 1.5 (1.1 was very slow, especially on SD cards)
yup..spb insight 1.5.1 doing fine in my today.. check it out!
I use Egress - http://garishkernels.net
It works fine for me, and is a part of my everyday phone usage.

Hubdog 2.0
Anyone had a look at hubdog, found it great, supports podcasts and it is free too.
Just tried hubdog, lots of features but seemed slow and a bit of a pain to use. Nice that it supports Podcasting though, and the "block connection" option is an excellent idea as it stops podcasts downloading on GPRS/3G.
I use Newsbreak ( http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.htm).
I really love it. It is fast, stable, easy to use, has a good/clean inferface, and even works with podcasts. Its not free, but well worth the money, highly recommended. There is a 30-day trial period so you can try it out.
Ross
PS Using it with Black 2.5
Looking into it, I think it would be great if there was a newsfeeder that can automaticly download enclosers when connected to Wi-Fi but not over GPRS/3G, while still allowing the news to download in all cases. Wonder if it's possible or if anything is about.
BTW should this post be in the Hermes WM6 section?

Guys,
Been testing the various roms available for some time now, XDALive, Black, Schaps etc but just can't find a single Rom that allows the phone to function as its supposed to, i.e. Fast, efficient and usable.
XDA Live and Black appeared to be great at first, until I installed TomTom and a few other minor apps, at which point they just slowed until the phone took 2/3 seconds to come out of standby, and when ringing the phone, it wouldn't even make a sound until the 2nd/3rd ring!?
Yesterday I flashed to Schaps and its even worse, before installing ANYTHING extra! 3/4 seconds from standby although it is a great looking rom.
Just seems a real shame, is the phone's hardware the limitation or is there a Rom out there that really does make a good job of enabling the best functionality from the Hermes??

Same-same feeling here. Tried all, still can't get the reliability and responsiveness of original WM5 Jasjam ROM. It's not a rant and of course I can always go back, but it makes me wander never the less..
Edit 15:30,
Well after such a statement I guess I owe some specifics:
- Hermes 100 and 200
- SPL-2.10.Olipro
- IPL: 1.04
- Radio: v1.43.00.00
- Tried the various available RTM versions, much too slow responding, haven't resolved the SOD problem for me
- reverted to what I consider to be the most stable and comfortable release - LVSW 19/5 (elf edition), still experience SOD but apprx. once in 24 Hrs. Still makes the WM6 Hermes unreliable as a phone, since for those unfamiliar with SOD, it means that while actually frozen, the phone looks externaly to be OK and working, respective LEDs blinking. Tried all solutions known and yet some.. drafted to this some heavy dev colleagues but still there.
Frustrating isn't it, perhaps the Hermes just isn't ready for WM6, would be logical as they haven't launched the Hermes OEM with WM6 yet have they?
Cheers, Ash

Sleuth255, you are counted with the serious in my book, so I should definitely do so. At the moment I kind of stabilized my devices (less than a SOD in every 24 Hrs. time frame), and I am pretty dependant on my phone.. but... at same time I've a XDA-dev soul, so I don't count on myself to withstand the temptation to try yours...
However Ash's quest remains. WTF happens with WM6 on the Hermes. No disrespect to those praising it, but if it doesn't work here, it most probably doesn't work elsewhere if you push it to same limits I do.. And where is HTC's RTM. I would expect it's core to be reasonably well, then use it in the kitchen for "our flavours", but apparently RTM is not there yet, or is it RTM ?

In any case Ash's quest remains. WTF happens with WM6 on the Hermes. No disrespect to those praising it, but if it doesn't work here, it most probably doesn't work elsewhere. At least if you push the envelope to same limits I do.. And where is HTC's RTM. I would expect it's core to first be reasonably solid, then use it in the kitchen for cooking our flavours, but apparently RTM is not there yet, or is it RTM at all, and if it is how come it ain't published on HTC support site yet ?
Questions..questions... but it's fun, isn't it ?
HTC's core CE/XIP for hermes was RTM as of v5.2.1238 and is quite stable IMO. It's the IMGFS that's buggy.
Hermes has always had issues coming out of standby and this delay is what affects the time the call connects to the time you hear the first ring. I noticed this the very first time I tried my TyTN (coming from a Wizard).
I've always wanted to uncover the specific code that handles this because there's also a nagging bit that forces portrait mode as a workaround for the magnets in the case Because of this, I have to disable standby whenever I'm using my stowaway bt keyboard.
edit: SOD could be solved as well by dis-assembling this code...
Sleuth, I agree with you (again). And you are also very right on RTM (I happen to be somehow..remotely... connected to them people in Redmond, but I shouldn't exploit this subject too much here.....
Anyway it's pi__ing me off quite a lot and the "Israeli Team" has given SOD a good chunk of time to no result. What amazes me is that this is one Huge issue that doesn't ring an alarm at HTC's.. BTW assuming that under the hood Hermes 100 and Hermes 200 are one and the same (so says my favorite CTO), I can't understand how would my JasJam (original WM5 ROM) be bullet proof in respect to SOD, while my TyTn showed SOD and call delay on WM5 as well. Maybe all Hermesses weren't born equal (and I refer to the latest crop, post childhood issues).
I happened to work with HTC and I know them to take stuff like this seriously. What happens here ....
So can we conclude that the Hermes wasn't ever *supposed* to run WM6, hence why all the WM6 roms just simply don't really work very well once you install just a couple of apps? Some without even installing supplemental programs?
I can't conclude that. WM6 works wonderfully on my hermes. I can conclude at this point that the device has some powersave related ideosyncracies that may or may not be software related. This is why I'm interested in your XP with my ROM.

I agree with Sleuth, WM6 works so much better on my TyTn than WM5... In every way.
Ok, the (slight) wakeup delay at phonecalls is there but certainly no more than with WM5. And Sleuth's new ROM is very stabile, pretty fast and with very little memory leaks.
At least it is in my case...
Ive been using WM6 releases for hermes since they first surfaced
my favourites are
Schap's WM6 Pro 3.30c
LVSW (latest June release)
Windows Mobile VI Pro - Black 2.5
I don't use Device for gaming at all
I use It strictly for work, this means:
Organizing my day with SBSH PocketBreeze
Chatting with Live messenger
see the weather news with weatherPanel (Schap's ROM replaced my choice of weatherpanel)
I work with/edit simple word documents on the road and e-mail them
Take many photos and record videos
and also watch big videos 22~50megs in both .wmv and .3gp format
Surely some ROM's were a real pain and unstable
with the above mentioned ROM's
My device Is stable and fast
Reading around thoughts and opinions surely will help many new to the PDA scene and surely will reward them with knowledge and make their WM experience more fun and useful rather than adventurous and experimenting
Definetely my TyTN is more useful fast and stable now with WM6
rather than when It was fueled with WM5
Just my 2 cents

Same here, I'm very pleased with WM6 (currently vp3G). I've installed some apps and its faster and more stable than before. I have no freezes, no sleeps of dead, no lock ups - with none of the Roms.
Programs in use:
Always running:
.) ILauncher
.) PhotoContactsPro
.) BatteryStatus
Installed:
.) Mobipocket Reader
.) SK Tools
.) Vijay's Brighter Screen
.) enAlarm
.) GS Finder
.) Total Commander
.) PocketIrked
My first WM6 ROM was the XDA Live.. then I started playing with the free storage.. created modified XDA Live ROM ( later called "WM6 Brick" because it wouldn't boot for ppl without MFG BL).. anyway.. a week later I bricked my Hermes completely trying to get it working with all BLs.. Then I was out for 2 months.. as my Hermes was being repaired..
When it came back I started flashing it with different WM6 roms.. (I guess I liked it much more when there had been only one wm6 rom available). They've all looked nice.. but none of them have been stable. I don't care so much about the speed.. but I hate when it freezes while I am scrolling the file list in the built-in Explorer.. and this happens with all WM6 roms I've tested.
I guess that at some point it will be stable enough for me to use it.. but as I don't need html-emails.. or sd-card encryption I guess I'll stick to WM5 for a while :/
I've tried:
Custel 2.5
ALL of the Blacks
Elf's 2.1
LVSW
Faria
I am with Custel 2.5 right now and I love it. No sleeps of death here.
I'm running:
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Weather
SPB Phone Profile
IM+
Today Agenda
MobiReader
Google Maps (Latest Build)
MortgageCALC
After being "awake" for 12 hours, I still have 23.4 MB of memory avail. with normal usage.
I don't do any media on my phone; I don't even have the media net settings loaded to my connections. I use it strictly for business: direct push mail, text message between the contractors, phone calls, scheduling and looking up houses, google search quite a bit and the PIM software.
Perfect ROM for me:
4mb pagepool
HTweak 1.5
Windows Media Player (for ring tones only)
Office 2007
RedEdit
NO Task Manager
Java Manager
Internet Sharing
NO Streaming Media
NO Audio Manager
PocketRAR
The updated file explorer that's floating
NO Live
NO Messenger
Unfortunately I'm not a cook.

I have tried both the Elf V2.1 and the BlackShadow and both have worked very well for me so far. I have so far only added the following external apps:
1. Ateksoft Webcamera Plus
2. Adobe Flash Lite 2.1
3. Adobe Reader LE 2
I definitely love my phone now even more so than when I first bought it when it came with WM5.
ROM, Radios, Carriers, Phones each has its own benefits, if you put some together they dnt work, you can change one thing it could work.
i can honestly say that i have only had problems with the early blacks, shadow works fine for me, wheras others worship black 2.5.
personally i always use sleuths roms they definately the fastest & most stable (for me anyway!!)
One last tip
Unless you are in the UK dont use radio 1.43 it is designed for the UK and not too good elsewhere

I think my v3.0 *almost* fits your "perfect rom"
Ive had my Touch HD for about 4 months now and its starting to loose its mind. The vibration only works sometimes for a few mins and then it stops, its gone really slow and freezes aswell. I am on the verge of selling it and gettin a Blackberry or the nokia e71. Is there anyone who can change my mind and help me with the problems? It would be greatly appreciated as the first few months i thought it was the best phone i ever had!

Will this fix the vibration problem as well because I dont really wanna spend alot of time changing the rom and then I either end up with a bricked device or still have the same issue. Just on the phone to orange now see if they can exchange my handset even though i have had it for 4 months now. wish me luck...
Orange is sending me a new handset tomorrow so hopefully that will fix the problem. They have advised me not to install any 3rd party software for a few days which should not be a big problem. But i was also told that if i experience any other problems on 2 more occasions that I would be able to change my handset for another model which is good customer service
Anyway now that i AM gettin a new touch hd, can anyone of the "senior" members of this forum give me their list of programs installed which have not caused the phone to slow down? I already know of fingerkeyboard, smschat (or smiley sms) and coreplayer. But I still am in need of a good gps software and the upgrade to TF3D v2 or v3 and a gd application to tilt the screen into landscape mode. Any help is much appreciated!
I have been using my HD for a while have not flashed any new ROM's but do have quite a list of 3rd party Windows Mobile software I use on it all working nicely.
Many of my applications are not freeware though, bought over the years as I'm a long time Windows Mobile user.
In my opinion you do not need to flash the ROM to still take advantage of your great HD
My applications include:

Softmaker Office Suite
SPB time
SPB Traveller
SPB Mobile Shell (plus the omnia SPB Skins skinning tool)
SPB Brain Evolution
SPB Finance
SPB Wallet
SPB weather

I have been using my HD for a while have not flashed any new ROM's but do have quite a list of 3rd party Windows Mobile software I use on it all working nicely.
Many of my applications are not freeware though, bought over the years as I'm a long time Windows Mobile user.
In my opinion you do not need to flash the ROM to still take advantage of your great HD
My applications include:
Pocket Informant
Resco Utility Pack
Softmaker Office Suite
SPB time
SPB Traveller
SPB Mobile Shell (plus the omnia SPB Skins skinning tool)
SPB Brain Evolution
SPB Finance
SPB Wallet
SPB weather
Pocket Investor
GarminXT GPS
MSS Converter
Phatnotes for MS Outlook
Skype
GSen
LockmeLite
SKTools

Why don't you upgrade the stock firmware first to the new 1.56 and new 1.13 radio, supposed to fix a lot of issues and give better battery life / gps signal.
Is that the 1 from the HTC website? cos when i entered my serial number last time it said that the upgrade was not available for me so i assume that i already had the latest version...
EDIT: Dont you just love orange? I have just received my replacement and it is a generic handset. hehehe
Hello omz
To check your rom version start/settings/system/device information with the phone being 4 months old it will more than likely have version 1.14, the latest version 1.56 from htc.com is only available for sim free phones i.e. it was purchased with out a contract. As mentioned else where on this forum, providers like Orange etc will take a few months with there update if they bother at all. If they don’t your other option will be to either flash with a custom rom loads on this site or see if some one will send you there official rom. Software, video convertor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474955 this is excellent, screen rotation I like this one http://idevelopstuff.com/dev/WM/Fuze...creen_inst.cab but there is also gyrator, satnav TomTom 7.915 works a treat on these phones.
