I've been playing around with a few WM6 ROMS looking for that perfect one. They all seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. The biggest show stopper for me that seems to be across the board on all of the WM6 ROMS is the lack of support for hte HTC smart dialer. I liked being able to scroll the wheel up for recent calls and down for my quickdial list. This doesn't work in WM6 regardless of installing either one of the two available smart dialer cabs.
Here's what I have noticed. When i first upgraded to the most recently released factory WM5 ROM, the dialer worked great. Then i installed sleuth's PTTfix mod. This killed the dialer and added customization support for button 5. I notice that this customization support is in all of hte WM6 roms. I am wondering if this is the reason the dialer is broken. I guess my overall question is this: is it possible to isolate this issue and get the dialer working again? I think the issue is whether people are pre-baking the PTTfix cab into their WM6 roms, or did Sleuth pull his PPfix cab FROM the WM6 RTM? I am hoping its the former... if it's the latter, then i fear we may be stuck with broken smart dialers until HTC releases their ROM.
has anyone else had any luck?
Thanks,
Jason

Smartdialing and the above functions you mentioned have worked perfectly in WMXL and LVSW..only two roms I have used..
Smartidialing and those features are working great in my fixed custel 2.5 cingular rom + pttfix.cab. Not sure what issue you are seeing.
I am currently on custel V1.3 and Smartidialing and those features are working great for me. they worked also for me when I was running black 2
I have tried Custel 2.5, LSVW (developer ed) and was about to try Dutty. When i go to the phone app all i see is a little white box that takes up full width of screen just above phone's numbers. if I scroll up/down, it just cycles though this box's contents (which includes recent dials, all contacts, and speed dials). With the stock ROM, when i went to the phone app, i saw the phone's numbers and that's about it. Then, if I scrolled up, a window would pop up with a list of my recently dialed contacts. If i scrolled down, I would see a window with my quickdial contacts. This is what I am trying to get back.
Thanks for the quick responses too by the way.
Jason
On to a your problem I suppose...gr8hifi, so what's the name of the cab that you think is for smartdialing?
And if you could, tell me if you have any images in your windows directory with "inidialer" in the name.
smartdialing: MT_PC_HTC_REG_070112.cab
EDIT: it sounds as if you are missing the smartdialer images, since you describe white boxes, grab a dialer from http://zombienexus.net hope that's the right url, Swampy makes some nice skins.

Smartdialing works with Black 3.0.1 as well.
The two cabs I have are: "HTC_Smartdialer2.5.CAB" and "Smart_Dial_V2.2.cab". Do NOT have any images of "inidialer" in windows directory. The white box in the phone dialer is not blank. it has three lines in it. Each line contains an item that can be dialed (contacts for me). I can scroll the wheel through each of my contacts this way.
again,
thanks for the help
Did a seach for "MT_PC_HTC_REG_070112.cab" but came up with zilch. Is this the cab that I *should* be using?
Ahh, my bad, that sounds like default wm6, I dunno about your cabs, but if anything, search for the numbers of the one I posted above, and it also sounds like you are missing the smartdialing images.
edit, I know the cab was posted in wmxl 0.1, just try searching for the numbers only. one min, and Ill link it
http://gfy.zapto.org/cabs/MT_PC_Hermes_HTC_REG_070112.cab
and
http://gfy.zapto.org/cabs/wm6_blackedition_3g_dialpad.cab
I just linked em both, because I know that will be a functioning dialer like you want it, but the skin might not be your tastes.
Tried both cabs (thanks for posting them) and still dont have the old dialer. The black cab gives me a nice skin (i love the ones Swampy makes) but i still have the window with three lines of contacts just above the "1, 2, 3 and backspace" buttons. The scroll wheel does NOT bring up my quick dial list nor my recent dialed/called list. I think this is just a fact of WM6...
Thank you again for your help. I am going to Flash Dutty's rom and see what happens. Will post back in 15 mins or so.
UPDATE:
Dutty's dialer is working perfectly. A scoll up gives me my recent calls whereas a scroll down gives me my quick dial links. Now, if i only knew how to operate the oven in the kitchen... looks like there's a crap load of reading ahead for me. I want Custels' ROM with Dutty's dialer!
thanks again.
J~
Hmm, that is weird it didn't work for you, maybe I am missing something, those are the two I have installed to both roms I used, with no problems, scrolling up goes to recent calls, and scrolling down goes to speed dial

Hopefully you get it sorted, I gotta gtfo and be productive today.
it's the video button. As soon as I disable the video button, the smart dialer stops working. Re-enabling the button does not re-enable the dialer. I am going to just keep the button. It's less annoying than NOT having the smart dialer.
The problem is the phone skin that's being loaded for the smartdialer includes that button, should be as simple as loading a new skin but I don't know how to make one yet...
I don't know if you fixed your problem yet. But, I know what you are talking about. Just use this thread and reinstall the SmartDialer.

Seeing as how there's a little extra room in the kitchen these days, I thought this might be a good time to try my hand at serving up something HOT.
This ROM is based on LVSW's rock-solid 05-19 3.30.2.1 release. Version edited or not, it really rocks!
NOTE: While this variant is Cingular optimized, all Cingular customizations (as noted by [CINGULAR] below) are handled by the autorun following a hard-reset. What does this mean? If you're NOT on Cingular, you can still install this ROM. Simply soft-reset as soon as the customization dialog appears in order to bypass all things Cingular!
What's In?
HTC Home Plugin (Battery, Screen Rotation, Backlight, Comm Manager shortcuts)
HTC X-Button 1.5 (Activate/Add Exclusive menu is back!)
Windows Live & Live Search
Office Mobile 2007 (includes OneNote fixes!)
Transcriber
Taskman/RegEdit 2.7 (kudos to dotfred)
Ringer Vibrate Toggle (Comm Manager "Press & Hold")
ATI ImageON Fix (*tips hat* to Sleuth255)
[CINGULAR] GPRS connections, MMS settings, URL mappings, Proxy Manager auto-installed
What's Out?
Remote Desktop (cab attached to this post if you need it)
Soft Key applet ("Calendar" soft key launches correct app)
HTC Ringtones
Other Features:
OS-only, NO IPL/SPL, Radio, ExtROM, Splash
BIG Storage (~55mb free Storage, ~31mb free Program memory @ idle)
4mb Page Pool, 8192 GLYPHCACHE (increase for even better performance!)
Comm Manager buttons re-ordered as shown
Today screen items enabled/re-ordered as shown
Acquires Date/Time & Time Zone info from network by default
A2DP bitpool optimized for BT stereo listening pleasure (initial 58 max 70)
HTCustom 1.4 replaces HTweakUI (thanks Shadowmite!)
NO Cyberon Voice Speed Dial or Voice Commander (cab for CVSD 1.2 attached to this post)
Comm Manager & Battery tray icons removed
Video calling disabled
Release Notes for v1.0:
Does NOT support BBConnect (I despise CrackBerry, so please don't ask if/when it will)
HTCustom may fail to unlock the ExtROM. Try Olipro's ExtROMPatcher if you really need to access it.
X-Button is still a bit flaky when exiting the option settings.... no big deal.
[CINGULAR] Default network is MEdia Net (w/ proxy), change to My ISP (no proxy) if you use isp.cingular.
Seeking even better Bluetooth A2DP fidelity, are you?
Try Bitpool = 86, MaxSupportedBitpool = 86, UseJointStereo = 1.
See hardcore's most excellent 'WM6 A2DP best settings' thread.
[*]"Clean" 3G icon was not cooked in since it screws with the pinpad colors and call history icons (install attached cab if you don't care)
[*]Cingular Video is supported (via awesome add-on cab created by CUSTEL). (Must enable proxy to view!)

I'm going to give this one a spin around the block Also Thanks for posting it here on XDA and not on the spam forums.
Strange that htcustom only mounts the ext rom because I know it unlocks on all the other ones based off of lsvw roms.

Spam forums? What are those?
Rob
how'd you get the exclusion bugfix in X-Button if I might ask?
I'm going to give this one a shot, with some recipe modification. This ROM looks like a good LVSW variant to start cooking from - what I want to do is remove the camera stuff. I would greatly appreciate some guidance on that (reading the kitchen thread convinced me I can do this... but help for the first time out).
Thanks,
-Steve

First, thanks for noticing my greatest accomplishment with this ROM.
I suspect most of the cabs floating about contain mismatched files. Try the mui file from my build on yours and see if that fixes it.

That could be a bit tricky... I'd probably remove the shortcut from programs, remap the hardware buttons (if needed), and call it done.

Interesting. The registry hacks alone have been hit/miss for me on every ROM, while Olipro's patcher has never failed me. PITA that it is, I wish we could just reclaim the ExtROM as additional storage space.

I hear ya because until HTCustom came out none of the tweak programs actually worked correctly for me.
Using HTCustom it all works I can install program to ext rom and everything.
great job vp3g! congratulations!
yep the mui solved it vp3G... I've created a cab and posted it on pg 1 of my thread.... It's still a bit quirky tho, if you actually use the exclusive tap feature, xbutton doesn't restore its icon properly on the today screen. You need to activate another application then return to the today screen to see it again. Somewhere I'm betting there's a newer dll to go with the resource file.
Yeah, I noticed that quirky behavior as well. Might still be a slightly mismatched set of files. I tracked down where it worked last (LVSW's 3.30.0.9) and pulled it as a unit from there. Seems like anything else out there has been through the XDA blender (set on frappé).

Sleuth,
Thanks for creating the cab. I was going to ask VP3G about creating cab this way we don't have the mismatch files.
@VP3G,
If you do not experience the issues Sleuth describe above, would you mind creating a cab?

Every version I've encountered thus far has the same quirky issues, but they're not major, IMO. Sleuth's patch will restore the Exclusive menu if you're running ROM that lacks the appropriate resource file.
Nice rom vp3g! I'll certainly have to give it a try being a cingular guy...
Thanks! Appreciate your efforts on HTCustom. It makes for a nice little app to include for those who'd rather not dig around in the registry.

Thank you!!!
DLing now. Hope the few bug were fixed. great ROM
Nice ROM. How hard is it to remove voice speed dial?
so far so good. Great ROM!!!!
Rom very fast and nice, one question Audio Booster not run
Thank!!!
First one of your roms I've run - so far I am quite impressed. This is the first rom I've used where the touch cube actually seems to work as it should! The only bug I've found so far is pressing and holding button 5 produces a Record.lnk -b error - basically stating it can't be opened Other then that it's running well!
Thanks - will report in more once I've run more then 5 minutes on it
Works great, nice and fast.
Downloading now...got a feeling my pimp-hand is gonna get stronger
cab files VS. ROM downloads
Is there any way that I can just get the htc today cab and the 3D Touch flow cab for (Tilt Kaiser) Im not comfortable installing a new rom to get these items. thanks Jami J
I love it ... tons of cool apps. a lot of other roms r so stripped down it takes too long to get them fully functioning.
Found another problem - don't seem to be able to turn on favorite contact in the htc home plugin
Also, the Office folder is empty.
So far I love this rom quite a bit - just need to figure out these few quirks
Is there a way to uninstall cooked in programs? S64 makes the best roms just a lot of stuff in them is there anyway to uninstall to give a bit more storage... thanks

You have to use and setup contact with Youch Cube, it works good as well.
By the way, the Cube works really nice. Is there a CAB file I can add to my Tilt?
Thanks
I'll try it right away.
Thanks for your work.
EDIT :
OK, first impressions:
- Don't like not having the favorites on HTC Home screen
- Missing Office shortcuts... Haven't found the applications yet... Shortcuts are present but are hidden
- I miss your menu you installed in v8 and v9
- How do we get S2U2 to display the hours like in v0.84 (not squared numbers) ?
Continue testing.
I attach The HTCHome.dll modified to work with N2A's server.
Does the previous fix of removing the following reg entry bring back the contacts on Home?
HKLM/Software/OEM/MASD/Quickdial
Using you s64 3.6/9 for a while. switching to this one. You are a good man.

I like the touch cube but not having the contacts in the home screen is almost a deal breaker - I use those way to often because it's too taps to dial - select favorites and hit the picture - done the phone is ringing. With the touch cube, it's a slide my finger, slide it again, tap the picture, select the number - I realise that even that doesn't take a long time, but it's really no where as convient - twice as much effort
Is it because the touch cube is working that we can't have favorites in the home or what is the limitation here? I really like this rom but I am not sure if I can get over this one stupid little problem

I second that. I really don't like the fact that we cannot use the favorites anymore.... The cube is lovely but not really quicker and easier to use.
I'm currently experimenting lockups.. I just started TomTom and it doesn't respond at all after a few minutes.
I think I'm gonna go back to v9...
I tried this Rom after using almost all schap's,
I have some questions that I hope to bring me answering:
1) I noticed missing windows live messenger, why?
2) Audio Manger can be seen evil, that is the command of mp3 player, there are
3) I do not understand why the themes of today we can not change, I tried to put them both in / windows in / my documents, but nothing takes only two issues by default, you can change the themes?

This is an HTC Excalibur ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of this thread. This will also work on the TMobile Dash (which is what's it's primarily setup for) and any other Excalibur variations.
I always build my ROMs with three main goals.
Eye candy.
Speed!
Smoothness, consistency and good esthetics.
I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications are already set, as well as a background and key shortcuts.
I usually make 2 versions of the ROM. If you don't see one in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release yet.
Here are the different versions and what they mean.
"IE6" includes the new IE6 browser
"IE5" includes the older IE5 browser (less RAM being used).

Messenger & windows live with ROM
Hello,
I've started to test this ROM. and the beginning is very good.
Could someone help me to install messenger?
I have a cab but it contains only windows Live, without messenger.
Thanks a lot!!!!

looks like you're using ookbas 96dpi cab... if you are then uninstall it
MMS
1. There is no interface to configure MMSC setting (had to do it via registry)
2. there is no default app for jpg viewing
Apart from this, seems very stable and fast.
Nice rom.
Did you take out the VPN ?
If yes: do you have the Connection Setup Tool cab ? Then the original HTC cab is too old..
the jpg association can be fixed this way:
open resco explorer, find any .jpg file, choose "action\open with", click "always use this program to open this file type" checkbox, and then choose menu/browse. from list select pimg.exe (this is picture viewer). choose select (left soft key) and done, now the jpg file is opened as usual.
Once again you cooked up a very nice rom. Thanks for the tip on how to fix the .jpg association issue. I just found it when trying different things out and someone already posted the fix for it.
Anyway it does seem that the connection setup does use older data then what I had before. It has not caused a problem yet but just thought I would mention it.
No voice dial?
Just found out, the long pressing of home key opens "All notes", and there is no way to record a voice dial for my contacts...
I understand there are people with no use for voice dial, but is there a cab out there to fix this?

Another workaround for the .JPG issue is install XNVIEW app.. it´s free and it´s not a big fat pig (when you think about resources)... Grab it here.
Nice job, Nrg. Thank you.

How is everyone doing with wifi in this release? In the other thread some folks mentioned that wifi wasn't working well. I haven't had a chance to install this version yet but wifi is a deal breaker for me if it does not work. Thanks.

It is working for me at work today..I don't know why it glitched out on me yesterday at home, but it completely froze my phone up and had to pull the battery. So far so good...
Microsoft Voice Command works well only for English Speakers, as it does not require voice tags for contacts.
As nearly all my contacts have foreign names, it seems i need a different app.
Tried installing Cyberon speed voice dial 1.2, but there seems to be no way to add voice tags to contacts, so it always says there are no recorded tags.
Had no problems with the WiFi on this ROM... my home WPA network works fine.
nrg, any chance of getting the IE5 version uploaded? Thanks
I have set my pictures to open with HTC Album, which works ok, but it seems to be causing some other issues with MMS messages. I try to attach a picture and it does not want to insert it correctly into the MMS message. It just shows the preview icon and not the picture itself.

NEW CUSTOMIZED TOUCH FLO 3D 2 THEME (from SHOWACO)
RHODIUM/TOPAZ ENHANCEMENTS

EZINPUT 2.1
THEME FEATURES
Home Tab: Removed call history and no appointments. Voicemail and valid appointments still show. Moved appointment list higher so you can see maximum of 4 now. Moved date and alarm above time, and moved carrier name to center. Clock press now takes you to a 6 tab screen(call history, all people, web search, world clock, alarm, and profiles) instead of the standard world clock view.
Album Tab: Enlarged pictures/videos preview size for easier viewing
Music Tab: Enlarged album view and changed perspective
Internet Tab: Removed the logo/Launch Browser for better viewing since new search bar cut into screen area. Added "launch browser" link that launches whatever your default browser is.
Programs Tab: Changed to 3 icon view and changed All Programs to 4 icon view

messaging bug
I like your rom but I found the following bug: when you try to enter a recepients name in sms dialog box something messes up. I think that it tries to display contacts from outlook but it doesn't show up but messes up the vertical scrollbar and stuff.
Otherwise seems nice

no it not, at me there are 3 icons. And i downloaded that themes but nothing has changed, that impossible stuff is still there.
have been testing your ROM for a day or so & I have listed a few things below as a general feedback.
One of the issues i have is that when assigning images to the people tab, the images are not resized correctly. They are way too big!
I have to go back into the contact & edit the manually by re-selecting the photo a second time. It's not a big issue, just annoying one.
The letter selector on the contacts list is a little jumbled which means the letters are not shown cleanly.
With the tabs on the home screen i really like the text being used however the white shading used at the top half of the tab makes the text a little hard to read in certain light conditions.
Also are you considering releasing a LITE version without the rarely used apps like MS office, Java, MP3 Trimmer, games? Looking for more speed
Generally its a good first attempt as it appears quite stable & reasonbly quick.
well done. looking forward to more releases
cheers
Pete

Thanks - I'll dl tomorrow.
I think you need re-test it very carefully again.
First problem is the phone always suspended.
Second, it cannot boot after suspended many time.

I'm not sure what you mean? Its been running fine for me past few days.
You did flash a stock ROM first right? I had hard resets until I did that so it must be done.

MrDSL, I have questions.
1. how can I change the start menu from 3 rows into 4 rows?
2. how to close/kill running application by tapping the X button? (usually I use htc task manager, but it doesnt run well if the start button is in bottom)

1.) You just need to change the StartMenu_Global_320x240.cpr and StartMenu_Global_240x320.cpr files. Theres plenty of cabs for it in this forum somewhere. Should be easy to search for.
2.) eNatives ShowcaseSuite 1.1.0 is included and I have it defaulted to close apps on X. You can find it under tools..I haven't had any issues with it yet.
Black Bliss titanium mod added to 2nd post.
is it possible to uninstall the titanium?
i kinda like the spb better. tho from the screenshots, this looks good too. maybe i'll try it anyhow!
the ROM is pretty nice! fair better then others roms found here!
what I dislike:
1) commanager selection not refreshing (when scrolling remains blue)
2) hard buttons assignments
3) where is the voice command/recorder?
4) dialer background not following the theme
also I don't like showcase and the setting for vibrating on close. my battery already drain fast that simply there is no reason to add one more!

1.) I'm not sure I follow but I'll check the comm manager..it may be because i set a custom background to be just black.
2.) Whats wrong with the hard button assignments?
3.) Voice Command takes up over 5mb and runs on startup so I don't include it. Theres plenty of cabs floating around for it though.
4.) I try to use dialers as close to black as I can but theres only a few dialers that actually work with the newer builds so it limits what I can use.

well, links for hard-buttons are in a specific folder and there is the buttons application to easily change them, so this is not major issue. usually I prefer to have these as the original hermes settings and allow people customizing them only if they like...
anyway, this is a great ROM, pretty close to an official quality.
Thanks MrDSL's for that great work!
Nice job! This is really close to be one of the best! But I do have a problem.
The hardware keyboard is not working as it should be. First the keys were all mixed up. I did get rid of it with "Advanced Config" (Keyboard from A&T/Cingular to English). But the Cap/Shift key is not working at all! It was fine before this! In Finland we use Ä Ö Å that I can usually find by typing A and push the blue circle and space bar.. It isn't working either!
This must be my twentieth ROM in Hermes. This is the first time I counter a problem like this. I could try to install a pack like this if I would find one in English.

Hi,

Keyboard layout
Suggested words dictionary
Spellcheck dictionary
Symbols List
I testet it with any english rom and it works perfect for me.
And NO: Windows will still be in english.
