Black Shadow

Check out JJ's new Rom. Black 4-Shadow. Sweet!

Based on the new touch rom. Will be released by JJ this weekend on www.4winmobile.com. JJ is still da man. Wish he wouldn't have left.

Look out... this will cause some debate on here! Mind you it does look sweet.

its not based on the new touch ROM as the Touch ROM isnt for the Hermes... just the HTC Home Plug has been ported from the HTC elf... but as i have found the 17745 Release build has its issues... so only time will tell....

looks rather nice though... like the look of the home plugin wonder if it will be ported just as an install....
Just a bit too much colour custonizration for me....
D

I've just posted a question on the "other" forums about that very thing - I didn't think it would have all the touchy feely bits in it as well Oh well...
As a matter of interest, is it hardware limitation? Is the HTCTouch a "multitouch" screen or is it just a new app? From what I've seen in the vids, it should be possibly for the hermes to do the same things...
Smiffy.

My understanding is that the look is simply the new HTC house look - with some added JJ Black-ness...
The Touch software should theoretically work with any touch screen WM device as it relies on the user swiping a finger across the screen - which we can already do with Hermes etc.

Mmm... sweet. Where can I download? NOW!!
Alright, wait until the weekend. I will have to check JJ's new HQ to see what extra will be packed. I only hope the new UI is not a huge resource hog. If not I will just stick with 3.5 for now.
It remains to be seen... but it does look very nice.

do you know what is the CE build? 5.1.x or 5.2.x? (i need it to be 5.2 so i can install my wm6 hebrew language support...that's why i havnt used JJ roms so far )
in the 4winmobile forum, he states that the os build is "official". does that mean it's 5.2 (wm6 build) without the 5.1 hex edit?
EDIT
black shadow will not be hex edit to support crackberry as WM6 is being release next week.

i dont think that's the case as was stated earlier that the today plug-in was ported from the HTC Elf, rather than the whole ROM being a HTC Touch ROM. it does look good though.

Guess I'll be flashing the 8525 again this weekend

it still needs to be hex-edited for BBC to work... as Blackberry Connect is for WM5 devices only... RIM will be releasing the Virtural Blackberry software for WM6 in October...

I am sorry cannot wait anyone have a leaked rtm wm6 rom for hermes please share thanks in advced!

I'm sure if anyone had one it would have been shared...best to wait a day or 2 for JJ's

anyway we can just get the cab for the plugin\theme, instead of a whole ROM? i'm happy with LVSW, but i want that homescreen!

Touch Flo??

Hey people,
I have been noticing recently that the touch flo is working on on various devices, but i was wondering if it is working on the hermes yet (actually ising finger flo, not button flow)
this link shows a vid of touch flo *FULLY* working on a different device
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwzBAuo2rQ
ive checked both web pages and i cant seem to find a definative answer.

No there isnt any ROM that works with touchflo for the hermes, only buttonflo, and that sucks I tried it once and its crap (as you know).
I searched and searched on every forum or blog or google.com whatever but no luck for the Hermes. I guess we have to wait to get our hands on the Kaiser. That supports touchflo (As far as I know. After a few adjustments)

I think the hermes is one of the best devices that HTC ever had. But the Kaiser is just a level higher..
So Kaiser will be my next device..

I don't buy it that the Hermes doesn't "support" TouchFlo. What does TouchFlo require that is so much more sophisticated than ButtonFlo?

If the dang Artemis can support it, why not Hermes.. lol

From what i understand it is somehting to do with the touch.dll, but i dont know what, why or how!!
but i do agree with you that it doesnt require any special hardware so i cant understand y it wouldnt work, but im equally sure that there is a very good reason as to why it wont work.
We need to find someone smarter than us to explain it to us!!

Exactly. Not to mention the fact that I have an app on my Hermes that does that exact little "flick and roll" thing and it works fine.

What application is that Stpete?

Should have touchflo working shortly, testing now. Watch the kitchen thread, that's where it'll happen.

This first one is from bepe's base. Still getting my feet wet with the new hardware. I'm open to suggestions

I would base it off the official release that came out this morning Matt.. In all seriousness, the other ROMs are going to be obsolete.. if you can make it with the official release I will beta test for you all day long.

I thought the ones JJ and sleuth came out with were better than the official? they have better build numbers etc, JJ and sleuth have developer roms available.
(if i am incorrect please correct me, i would actually like to know, thanks in advance!!)

the new JJ rom Black Satin are based off the official release of the Dopod 838pro rom that came out this morning... which is why they werent released until this morning since they were RTM .. new build numbers...17944.0.3.1 ...

Comm Manager

I have just switched over to Vp3g 3.62 I do love the ROM but I switched over from the windows 6.1 mobile as I was using TNT but due to lack of support and answers I have come back to WM6 till something is more stable.
My question is, is there a way to change the type of Com manager? Or does it have to be cooked onto the rom?
How can I change the dialer? and the keyboard? Or do all these have to be cooked onto the roms as well?

You can change all of these with .cab files. you can check out DiStefano's Cab Collection
Spb has some Dialers that they made
Schen also has some Nice Stuff
they got some decent keyboards at freewarepocketpc.net
just look around, make google your best friend and you should be satisfied with what you find. good luck.
p.s. if you like a specific keyboard, com mgr, dialer, from a specific rom you can allways ask for them in the rom thread. some1 will most likely provide them for you if they're not already available as add ons.
just came across this keyboard and thought it might be relevant. there's a screen in the 4th post.

This thread will tell you which ROM to choose.

HAHA that got your attention huh?
I just thought I'd start a thread for people who might be considering upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.0 or 6.1. You should post why you like a certain rom, which features you like, and what could be better.
Since (and I am pretty sure on this) that all of the builds are based on "chunks" of the OS taken from other phone's distributions, there isn't a "hermes specific" guide to improvements that these newer OSs give the user.
So if you feel like it, post away. Hopefully if anything, this will serve as a basis for which rom to choose.
Please don't spam the thread with posts agreeing with other users. I didn't intend for this thread to be a discussion. Try not to post based off other posts, and please
DON'T QUOTE ANYONE!
This means if someone says "I like schaps because its purple and neat looking", don't post "YA IT SURE IS". Just post AGAIN stating that it is purple, as well as what else you like about it.

Reserved for future use

ROM: CRCs STABLE (v11.2; 17-Jul)
This is a great rom to use. Battery life is excellent, and my phone never hangs / crashes. (hence the stable). I like that it accepts dialer customizations (3G dialer from the kaiser for instance) without making you go through a graphic nightmare trying to get it to work.
I *have* noticed some WIFI issues however... Not being able to connect to networks that I KNOW are open. It will say you are connected, however you won't be able to transfer. This however is only a very rarely encountered issue, and usually at WIFI hotspots in restaurants and hotels. It ALWAYS works on my home network.
Rom seems on par with most when speed is considered. It is not either slow, nor exremely fast. Quick enough to do most any task with less than a 1 second wait.
I would definately recommend this rom for use by anyone who is considering their first upgrade, or anyone who wants a very useable rom with a good basic set of programs and tools.

Thank you for bringing this up
Personally, I would say CRCinAU's roms have been the benchmark for other chefs to 'match' or 'better'
These days abusalza is that chef. Again these are my personal opinion, you really NEED TO FLASH ALL THE ROMS, to find what you like and what you don't.
No one can tell me what I will like and what I won't like, as it is down to preference.
So, in other words, .... this thread is pretty useless

in here is a link to rom benchmarks (great job be veyka) to assist U:

Why did you post that? tell me, is there anywhere out there where there is a "consumer reports" type of ROM review?

Rom choice is.. very much what you like.
I can tell you from exp, and I have flashed almost every rom here, as im sure many other people can, that its the ONLY way to know what to use.
There isnt a bad rom, just one that isnt right for you.

since joining this community, i have flashed many roms. I have flashed almost every release during that time, it would exceed 100 roms.
now, what i have noticed is that it doesnt matter which rom i chose, i end up putting the applications on it which i like. Some of the roms have these and others do not. so really, find what it is you like, get the cabs for it, and almost all roms are the same.
there is the stability and speed of roms which is different. but with a 400mhz processor, the speed is barely noticeable unless you change the pagepool.
There is one rom that i always return to when i am away for a while, being Berds 4.31 SS

I find there is a huge difference in speed and battery drain between different WM6.1 roms.
I would personally hold up CRC and PDAcorner as the best two out there atm.
(main difference is if you like your rom vanilla or not)

btw, on that note. WM6 is WM6, whatever device its on, each rom comes with diffrent stuff cooked in..
Same goes for 6.1.
Its also quite easy to tell if the roms your cup of tea from the thread and screenshots, eg, does it look loaded, lite, comes with HTC home ect!

learning how to cook your own! it's pretty freaking sweet when you can do your own preferences to your rom in the oven and then flash it! I've been flashing wm6 and 6.1 for a while and just started and i'm not going back man!! Flash and learn!! do it! ;0

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415198 has a rollup on very useful stuff.
bepe's kitchen is in there download and read the entire thing.
download every hermes kitchen you can find and just start messing with stuff.. RGU's are all registry entries. modify and open xml's to see what they do. and just start poking around, eventually (3 months) you'll get a working almost stable build! Every change you make be sure to note it incase you need to go back and correct.. Also note what you did to fix stuff.
Then when you have questions PM and i'll try and help as much as i can but i'm still new.
Or search and bug the crap out of people. at least thats how i did it.
Also the Hypercore kitchen has a good manual with it.. On porting, the noob way for porting is easyportoven, otherwise search xip and sys porting and there is a nice thread on it..
The rest is just trial and error.

HERMES_21176 WM6.5 Beta

Well,i'm sure many fans have flashed your OS to 6.5 on your herme. Yesterday, new core of 21176 was distributed for HERMS. I'd downloaded it and upgrade my phone's OS. The new core satisfys me,because it runs faster than the of 21159 or 21169. We can use our finger to touch the start menu easily, it slips more fluent than before.Maybe that is because the drive of the new UI has been improved.
Okay,just look at the pictures of the new look.
If you like this rom,just click this link and download it, it was created by KK.

Thank god for Exchange Server.
Thanks Josh for another Fine piece of "rommery" I dont think I could live without my exchange server though. dont think ive had to resync my contacts, emails etc quite so many times in a week. Im spoled for choice with these roms. Strange though, with your latest (V15) 6.1 rom, I dont think its squeakingh when I get a text message. Good time to try this one I guess.
Gotta love the quiet night shifts, I get to play with this stuff for 12 whole hours

Oh wait, which one is newer.
Guys, I saw this post, and assumed that there was another new rom. Is that link at the top of this thread newer than Josh's test3? I found test3 was still a little too slow for proper use. Sorry if I appear fussy, but You did ask for feedback.

21176 is the lastest I know，and the core of 21186 is still not released yet，just wait for its coming.
The E-Language rom is just as here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3310915&postcount=6
And it's been tested by several buddies, It would be okay!

Josh's test 3 is 21169 build. Josh does have a 21176 build out, which is much better as mentioned in previous posts. Waiting to see what 21186 has!

i am installed this rom ,its work but no write pad!!

I loaded the rom. works very nicely until i went to reset it using the reset. Now it's all white screen and black screen when i try to boot up any ideas how to fix it?

TAI SW had 6.5 too
try to PM TAI...he had WM6.5 21176 built to. you just have to PM him and he will show the link to get it....
I had it now in my hermes..runs smoothly......

WM 6.5 Features
I have tried Josh's 6.5, and very impressive it is too. One major plus is that it syncs with Vista, with no problems.
However, it seems to me that it is lacking one key feature, that is the ability to dial your favourite contacts by tapping a thumbnail picture of them. This is available in HTC Home, and Manilla 2D, as a tab, but I could not see a similar feature on 6.5.
Has anyone found this facility in 6.5?

ok i finally manage to fix my hermes, had to do a hard reset to solve everything
Just a warning..
DO NOT use the shutdown or reset function given in this build. it'll permanantly screw up your hermes until you do a hard reset. You can't even boot up properly after that...
