I was just wondering which version of WM6 people here have installed on their device. Please vote! I, myself, am currently using Black 2.5 and Radio 1.41.
Looks to me like "Once you go black, you don't go back!"
how many people are going to make the same thread over and over?

Same number of noobs it takes to screw in a lightbulb.
LVSW's support Chinese Plus better than others
I need to install ce-star to support chinese input and display,
LVSW's is the best for me,fast and stable.

I didn't start the thread to decide what to install. It's just for fun to see how many people have what.
Just *bumping* it up!
Black is the best, hands down.
i use them all at one point,
Black is fast and quite functional. Support regarding installation is very good too.
CUSTEL's 2.5
The best ROM I have tried out of 10 in terms of stability and reliability.
Custel's is the most stable. Black has too many bluetooth and sleep of death issues.
I havent frozen up once with Custel, I use to freeze three or four times a day with black.
Has anyone lost their wireless/wired modem function now, I'm on Black2.5 and can't use my set as a modem for my lappy, tried BT,IR, USB...none work now? I really need this feature to log into work when in the field. Any ideas?
edit: I let my fat li'll fingers do the walking and found it...AWESOME site guys, well done to all. You put MS to shame!
Im going to use CUSTEL's roms from now on. Forget Black!

So hail to the chefs in the kitchen
Welcome to Elf v2!
Highlights:
Cooked into the rom:
1) BIG STORAGE!
2) Shadowmite's TweakUI 1.4
3) dotFred's PimBackup
4) TaskMgr
5) ATI Patch
6) Office 2007
7) OneNote patch
Cooked into the ExtRom:
1) Windows Live Search (My personal killer-app)
2) Windows Live Messenger
3) Device Lock
4) WM Transcriber
All extrom customizations are REMOVABLE via. the Remove Programs App in Settings.
The "Home" of Elf Edition v2 is at http://www.htc-devs.com/http://www.htc-devs.com/ but, support will be given here too.. However, you'll get far more bang-for-your-buck at htc-devs.com IMHO
Anyways... What are you waiting for?? Why aren't you downloading? Oh, you need a download link? Well.. Instead of having a great big red DOWNLOAD HERE link, I'm going to have some fun
Download here
Download v2.1 here
Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it..
Please install HardSPLv7 BEFORE you install this ROM! I am not responsible for any damage or bricks!
Also, IMHO, 1.40.30.00 is the best radio out right now.. If you're running anything lower, please upgrade! Of course, do it AFTER you do the HardSPLv7!!
Thanks man, it looks good, so where's the download link?

It is based on the LVSW ROM 3.30.2.1 so yes, it has Office 2007
Waiting......
Hehehe. Sorry can't contain myself. I loved the Elf modifications to the LVSW ROM.
Hi Elf,
Just tried your rom. Here's some feedback, hope you don't take it the wrong way.
I found this version to be a lot slower than the plain LVSW build and also Sleuth255's build. Seems strange, since they are all based on the same core of LVSW.
Thanks for the effort though!
Any other download link besides Rapidshare?

I also had the experience of 1.40.30.00 being better... my phone showed better reception in places with that version than with 1.41. In the two days or so that I used 1.41, I also had the radio system crash on me a couple times... and far more than it has with 1.40.30.

Odd.. I'm going to try to get a different version of Live working properly; that might be the reason.

Cool. I notice the difference in speed especially when running Activesync. And overall when using Explorer programs, it feels like the disk/filesystem access is slower.

Can you remove Live and see if it makes a difference? It not, can you reflash? I really didn't touch the pagepool or anything else that would have caused a difference in speed!

I understand what you mean dude, but unfortunately I switched back to another LVSW build and wont have the time to reflash yours and test now (only have one Hermes) since I will be travelling for a few weeks.
Anyway, I only tried it once, and it may have been some sort of mistake on my part (although I didnt do anything "strange" either). Nevertheless, it could be just me! :/ Also, I didn't try reflashing it during that time.
Anyway, just wanted to give some feedback of my experience at least, just in case other people experience the same thing. Sorry I cant help you test it more for now, and thanks for the work.

Strange in fact i found this version is running faster then the original LVSW version in my dopod, thanks LegolasTheElf.
I've upgraded the version of Live, and added a VOIP config utility and a few other goodies to the rom. Again, as usual, ALL are removable to a base/clean rom
I'll post the link when I'm done the finishing touches for Elf v2.1 But, it is a VERY nice rom. I'm impressed with myself
Just so everyone knows.. Elf v2.1 which VOIP configuration, the newest Live and a few other minor tweaks is just around the corner... For those who want it NOW, the link is here.
I will do a proper write up later.. But, for those who read this, the new rom awaits Oh, and battery life is unbelievable in my testing it yesterday.
Since I've seen many people ask for it, here is that file on megaupload as well...

Hi guys,
My friends and me tried Black Shahow( black 4.0) today. It really got big memory as previous black version, free ROM 53M and RAM 30.4M, noticed that TOTAL RAM showing near 50M instead of 48M. The HTC home looks quite ok but for the weather panel the cities are limited for selection. THE BIGGEST BUG IS that sometime it CAN'T START PROPERLY and ALWAYS HANG during the re-starting period. You may need to reset it for several time just to start the phone.
Long time expectation but still encountered major bug.
Hope JJ can solve these bugs.
Perhaps this would be better off in the official thread? There was no need to start a new one.
Anyway, just FYI:
the original one was ok but jj added a file to fix HSDPA - this cuased a comflict with the current version of the ROM.
Apparently, if you disabled HSDPA things are better.
That's a workaround until jj releases a fixed ROM a bit later on.
try turn to landscape will be better but still need wait for new one..
most issues has been already resolved on www.4winmobile.com . if you need help, go to jasjamming forum and ask there. it was his request, and he did not answering question on two places. bye.

Anyone still keep the "First release version"?

rom has been updated
Should this be a seperate thread here or just put it with the black shadow thread?

No. For you maybe, but on my 8525 it's fast as hell and haven't had ANY problems or this "hang" problem either. The ROM is awesome!
I've run the rom also...I'm having no problems either. I experienced a hang during the install but after that I've been smooth and I'm HSDPA.

I tried it but it still doesn't work, previously i installed official wm5.0 rom / qtek 2.11.255.2. It works quite well and stable. Do anyone have idea how to fix the bug?

Seriously, there is a Hermes fans chatting room. In the chatting room, it is complainted as well that they got same experience as me. There is one similarity that we performed complete flash using Qtek 2.11.255.2 before updating to Black Shadow (4.0). I am thinking if there are conflictions between Black Shadow and Qtek latest WM5.0 ROM. However, we don't experience such bugs using Black Diamond which i regarded it as more stable one and faster than Shadow and some other cooked roms. Unfortunately, i can't access 4winmobile.com and can't comment this to JJ.
Should JJ read this may he give us a solution.
Anyhow, thanks for his great works and best regards.
For anyone seeing this thread now - there is an updated rom called shadow.rar already posted on wmblack.info and it fixes the problems from this morning.

Hi, i just downloaded and tried the shadow.rar. After flashed it is still the same, can't start properly. Is it possible because of Radio? Someone with radio 1.38 told me his phone working well. By the way, i installed CE-star.

ey, works great for me with 1.38 right now...so seems your issues aren't related to Radio version.
Try without CE-star (perhaps not compatible), and post results.
I find it thoroughly ammusing! all these posts dissing the rom creator and booing if the f**k up the install or the rom isn't perfect! when will you guys realise that we are in the thick of beta land! everything is a gamble! you don't put your head in the ovan just because someone else did and got away with it!
i'm pretty new to this rom business and only tried a few. I *****ed once but then came to my stark realisation. IT'S ALWAYS A GAMBLE! read the notes that come with the rom!
these guys are clued up enough to work at M$ (or Apple. imagine mobile OSX on a tytn!).
I think you guys need to chill and take it as it comes! that's the deal!
that's my 2 pence worth anyway!
I think some members of this forum just need to get laid.
It happened what I feared...the purpose of my 3d was completely misunderstood ( maybe because I'm not mothertongue English?).
I have absolutely nothing against Olipro , infact when I wrote he might have been the "culprit" I wrote culprit between " "...
I think he is a great guy even if I don't know him in the flesh and I completely trust him , proof is that I flashed his boot loader myself too...
I was just trying to understand which common points are there between all of us experiencing the SOD and I thought, from the very little that I know , that this could have been a possibility but if you read my 3d you'll find that I'm doing also other considerations so , in my opinion , closing it so quickly wasn't after all a good idea.
But this is life , Olipro is correctly consider a guru inside here and I'm nothing so i can understand all this reaction to protect him even if my intentions have been over looked because as I already wrote it was not my will to offend him or his job which is always great. I just wanted to break the discussion concerning the SOD which is always rotating around the same things and possible culprits and in this way we haven't reached very much so far...
I'm confident that Olipro didn't get upset after my message, I don't see a reason why others should do.
Regards all and thanks for the flame!
Uh!...by the way, To answer to Bram87 I also did flash the new official WM6release from HTC but it didn't solve the issue I'm afraid.
SO you are adding some third party applications...?
Man, you are obstinate.....
FYI: I'm using Olipros Bootloader since some months and I flashed at about 15 Roms and I never had a SOD.
Conclusion: Olipro ist NOT causing SOD'S.

Then you really should read up on your problem.
Most of the sleep of death issues have been identified as caused by third party apps.
Sounds to me like you are either using an application that simply isnt compatible with WM6 or you haven't downloaded the latest versions (SPB particularly, you need the latest updates).
When you bought your device it came with WM5. Most of the apps are designed for WM5 and some of them are causing troubles with WM6.
If you want to check out which apps are causing troubles flash a rom and run it without any app for some days. Then start to install one app after the other and test every app carefully.
As I told you above: I never had a SOD even though I've installed Olipros bootloader

I'm glad to find that Olipro bootloader didn't ease the SOD thing...
I already did the kind of troubleshooting you suggested me without being able to isolate the problem.
My SOD started with WM5 and I decided to upgrade to WM6 for this reason but now it's back again!!!

If yes can you point me out where to get directions or if short can you post how you did?

I thought it had been agreed that SOD was caused by the messenging app (mail) set to check mail regularly. I had SOD when this was set and also when I had it checking an exchange account (Mail2web).
I check mail manualy now and my tytn has been extremely stable. I have not had SOD for months.
using LVSW 19-5-07 (elf edition)
Looks like the Toshiba G900 is having sleep of death issues too. So, I think it is pretty safe to that Olipro is not the cause of the SOD. Hopefully someone can nail down the real cause of SOD soon as it seems to be a widespread issue that doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason.

Personally, my ollllld SOD issues were SD card related, exchange with retrieving items as they arrive has worked flawlessly for months now, I dont think there is one determining factor for the SOD's.
Since I see this thread is about Olipro, where is he nowdays, I never see him on the board, but then again I dont visit the other sections much.
One thing I noticed and it could be a coincidence...my SOD went away after I got rid of (unchecked) encryption. Just a thought...
I had a few SOD's back on Black 1.2 and I believe that was a Storage Card/apps issue. With Black Majik, I've never had a SOD and I run the same apps in the same manner I did from 1.2 with a few minor exceptions. One, I got rid of WAD. As great as it looks, it slows the device down and was a constant SR issue. Most of my main apps that need to constantly run I have stored to the device and NOT the storage card, so that too may be a hint as to why the SOD may occur. Do I think we'll ever narrow it down to a specific thing? No, cause I beleive many different things can cause it, and as all of our devices are unique, then it's up to each of us to work-out the SOD issue on our own with some of these threads as advice. I'm happy with my setup now and the SOD is a non issue.
The HTC Rom branded as pre-release (OS Build 1238 so far i remember) is known to have SOD.
Just avoid this rom and flash to another.

Ok ladies and gentlemen I FINALLY upgraded my 8525 to WM6 but i got a problem. My Pocket IE when fully loading howardforums.com when scrolling it drags and scrolls slow. Anyone else having the same problems???
this is a problem, a bug it is even on the at&t official rom but i have not seen it in older builds like 3.60 i dont think you can fix it, the fix has to be cooked into the rom itself but it does suck i use ie every day and when it hesitates when scroling drives me nuts

thanks for the info on how to fix this! searching this forum is a pain in the a**
the fix works great and so many roms have this problem this should be in the wiki.
