Develop Bugs

xda-developers overload -- now I'm bored

Great googly moogly.....for almost two weeks straight I was on a xda-developers overload of flashing my phone with something every night.
There was the excitement of some new functionality, mixed with the adrenylene of doing something that you're not "supposed" to be doing, mixed with fear of bricking your phone...
I was obsessed....I would flash as soon as it came out and constantly monitor the thread to see what bugs or hacks people were adding...
Now..I have my phone exactly the way I want it ........AND.........
I'm bored.
When does WM7 come out?

ain't that the truth....

I Agree
I agree! I got my Hermes right at the right time. Just a week after I got it, I started to read this site and figure out how to unlock it. I then loaded the new cingular ROM. As soon as I did that, all of sudden all these WM6 ROMs came out. I've flashed every single ROM and their versions on to my device. It has become second nature. I've found the best one and now I don't know what to do with my free time. It's killing me. Can't wait till WXML0.3. Then I get to do it again at least one more time. Enjoy.

Yep, I am bored too. Although if LVSW keep the usual schedule, we should see new version now. It seem as we were getting an update every 5 days. I was taken sick days from work to play with my phone. The truth is after staying up all night there was no way I can perform well at work.
Anyway I am seating here waiting to flash a new ROM

I'm so bored...I'm thinking about flashing WM5 again...okay... maybe not that bored

Ditto! A week ago I was a scared noob... now I'm a flash-freak!

omg I feel the same way, I have a wizard dash and hermes and every day I am flashing at least one of them. I need a new hobby, like many others here my wife thinks im cheating on her with the internets. when Im at work I check this forum constantly! havent been caught yet!

Ooh! Ooh! New Flash Alert!!!!!

absolutely know what your'e talking about

update your SPL's and/or signatures to 1.40.Olipro then

I check this forum at least five times a day. I've flashed XDA Live 1, 2.0, LVSW, Black 1.2... and ended up sticking with XDA 2.0. Its the sturdiest for me...
Then Windows Live Messenger Beta stopped so I am now waiting for Black V2... with full on Live messenger - but that wont stop me from loading WMXL 3.0 when it arrives... and then I may just get a life.

Well... When we have all tried it all - next must be to create even better roms, perhaps even one that can make us fly to the moon....

What makes you think these roms won't? Last time they flew to the moon they had a ZX81 in the cockpit...

HAHA - yessir..
But I believe that the roms from our Chefs will improve to a level much higher than the original WM6 - and what I find even more impressive is the way that things have developed so far. OLI, ROMS, Memory, Tweaks, Improvements..
Had I been from MS I would for sure keep my eyes opened in here... And who knows (This i far out I know, and just meant for fun) if MS had released som BETA to see reactions and how things in the OS would be improved.
Or without the MS releasing - I am sure they must keep an eye on the Forum and different threads and releases - just to see improvement. And who knows. They might end up adapting some of the stuff. (Or try to find ways to avoid what the chefs are doing...)
...just som crazy thoughts..

Sometimes i think we all just are "wm6-Betatesters" for Microsoft. Esepecially since in know that we will get an official wm6 rom for our tytns. Perhaps xda-devs have a secret contract with Microsoft. Who knows

I have the same feeling... it´s been a great two weeks but as things begin to settle down I´m always awaiting the next "fix".

I think that I will stick to a XDA ROM instead of a slow MS ROM. I dont believe that they will end up with a rom as good as i can be when our CHEFS have had it in the kitchen....heheh
BTW - has any heard of any software that let us emulate old MS games - like the classic games series of Close Combat.

Wow I got in at #1 on the useless post

The screen capture utility incorporated in 1.2 blew monkey nuts, so I installed vSnap. Comes with a timer, and very user-friendly interface. Everything else is great in 1.2 so I'm wondering if upgrading to 2.0 is really necessary right now. I started desgining a Wisbar theme to go with this ROM, so hopefully I can work on it as long as I can convince myself to hold off on 2.0 for a few days.

I posted similar feelings months ago on the Wizard Forums with no real response.
I mean, nothing personal folks, but who really cares that you're looking forward to this release or that release and your download is at 39 percent and you're just so happy and your daughter's been asked to the prom and your step-on dawg just had puppies...
I have noticed that there seems to be a smarter and somewhat nicer class of folks here than on the Wizard forums but then agian I just got here a while ago and am still reading the WIKI here and doing my best not to ask stupid questions as the majority of my posts have been answering the same elsewhere.
As an aside.... kudos to all the chefs here! I really love my Hermes and am looking forward to contributing my two cents worth here.
Regards!

Well Said
My post count doesn't reflect the research that I've put in here, but geezus, the questions that come out.....
One of my favorites was the guy who asked about his i-Mate SPL in the Hermes forum.
Word of advice to all posters: Think before you post. Your intelligence quotient (IQ for short) depends on it.
JJ, great job on the ROM and get some sleep!

hah!.... just when you have 'Black 2.0 Idle Chat and useless Comment thread', seems like nobody want to write those useless comment...
I agree with Eagle 1, it is difficult to browse through 30pages, looking for the possible solution with certain issues.... this thread is more like it...
(well, actually i also post the useless comment there, not because of post count, but purely because of excitement and appreciation to jas -and his friends)

will this ROM work on my motorola AMPS phone? it has an red LCD display? is it 240x320? not sure, please dont flame me.
who is wifi and where do i find him?

Flashed and working well
I flashed and the sucker's working nicely.
I had the initial cert error, but when I connected to my WMDC (Vista) and established a partnership, the cert issue disappeared. (cert was expired message).
WiFI works awesome. Will probably patch on the bubble fix.
Only complaint is Comm Manager not black. Not really a complaint. Really glad it isn't lime green anymore.
Excellent work, JJ. Who knows, Black may be the one and only.
Beers on the way!

hey thanks for your comments.
commanager is a ***** to skin as u have to decompile the executable.
walshieau is working on it at the moment, and if he gets it done we we release a cab.

Upgraded and it works well. My only question is whether anyone (on Telstra) has been able to get Foxtel/AFL etc working on this build? I know they recently released a ROM upgrade for WM5 but any luck with WM6 and Black V2.0?

Yeah, I read that somewhere in another thread.
Hats off to walshieau as well!
Maybe you two can enjoy the beers together?
Nice to have a stable WM 6.0 again (had XBow beta & RTM for a bit, till M$ took back their Wizard.... it's come a long way since then)
Also got VC 1.6 working with the "Jules" CAB.
Starting to load other shat on it, but staying away from Resco (not SuperCID, had issues with certs)
Have a good one and get some rest. I'm heading there now (booty call!)

Great Rom and good job

So then, is this rom a final release or is it still based on a beta like the other releases?
Also, where the fook do they come from... surely they don't just full out the sky

Does anyone have TELENAV 5.1 Traffic?

If this is in the wrong place move it please. I have of course my 8525 and am going on a trip where I think it would help to have traffic support. Given all of the things I have acquired here before the intended release date I figured I would ask. The version which supports this is I believe 5.1 (Telenav)
Paul

Wow, Hey everyone thanks for all the feedback! I thought I was the only one wondering about this but now I see all the responses and feel allot better. Thanks guys

You posted your question in the early evening where I live - which means travelling home from where I work, evening meal, kids, wife and lot's of other things have to happen before I can sit down and play on my computer and I would imagine the same applies to a lot of other people on this forum.
Not everybody who comes on these forums lives down the street from you so just try showing a little patience to get an answer. It could be the middle of the night for several readers, or even the very early morning for others. It's just possible that you might have to wait a little longer than 3hrs, 59 minutes to get exactly what you want.
And no, I don't have Telenav 5.1.
And no, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
Smiffy.

Having a bit of fun brotha, I just figured I make a joke of it. Thanks for the response LOL

Me too - my wit is just a little too acerbic when I'm low on sleep ;-)

Shouldn't the telenav 5.1 come with traffic..? No i dont have it hahaah but my friend has 5.1 =)

from the telenav website the only one that will work for the 8525 is 4.1.

Telenav hasn't given a sh!t about the Windows Mobile group for at least a year now and shows no signs of starting. I'd look for a better nav solution if I were you. I highly doubt 5.1 will be coming to the Hermes any time soon.

Nice!
I just tried downloading 5.2 Telenav on my AT&T 8525 with the official beta Win M. 6 and it seems to work fine.
Thanks so much for the tip!
I feel like I just upgraded from MS Dos 5.0 to Windows XP.

TouchXperience project progress
Written by Julien Schapman
Saturday, 27 September 2008 07:32
To make you patient until the public release, I decided to give you regular news about TouchXperience project progress and to give you more details about some TouchXperience features. Don't hesitate to make suggestions in the dedicated forum.
The first public release will be (finally!) available in October (2008!), TouchXperience will be available for HTC TyTN, TyTN II, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, and later Touch HD. Other devices may be supported in the future and non-HTC touch devices (such as Samsung Omnia/i900) are not excluded, but be aware that I need to invest in new devices to work on it, and developping for non-HTC devices may take longer because I use to develop on HTC hardware only.

Site has exceeded bandwidth... he didn't sneak a release out last night did he?

Lol it's might just be the case. Site has never been down since he took it online. I've been checking the release status frequently.

Following some site's the rom is now downloadable. But the site won't work because of the traffic. Also it's possible that some other company has bought the product from him... You never know.
So maybe it won't be downloadable at all. But ofcourse he won't sell it, will he?
Can't wait untill there is some download link available.
Ok taking this back, just read that he won't sell it. Since he said it himself. Hope there will soon be a new mirror. I really respect this

That last link is for a new item posted on 1st August
I'm sure if it was released he would have popped in to say so. Looks like something caused a traffic surge though, maybe he got slashdotted lol.

Hmm....
Yeah, that is pretty interesting... I guess we'll have to follow up over the weekend to see what the truth is!

Try clicking on the link in the Dutch forum, it sends you to the "Site has exceeded bandwidth" screen. Schaps may have released it but has been too busy to post it here. Could also just be a demo or test app...
Will keep trying and update later..

Unfortunately the recent release of the Android 1.0 source code (http://source.android.com/download) and the HTC ROMS that will surely follow may make this project moot.
Kaiser ROM Development
Hermes Android ROM Discussion
Especially considering that Windows Mobile 7 may not be out until 2010.
But so goes the software industry...

Not really as the developement of Android for the Hermes isn't exactly powering along and the general consensus is that it may not be possible to port Android to the Hermes. Something to do with the fact Hermes is a ARM4 processor and Android was made to work on ARM5.

But the Hermes doesn't have much real life left, in fact the Kaiser is getting a bit old, too. At least as far as mobile devices go.

The Kaiser is not even a year old. Hell AT&T does not even have a replacement yet for the tilt.

Windows Mobile 6.5

I have seen many threads have been popping up with new 6.5 ROMS for other phones. While I know that these are NOT full versions of 6.5 they do have added features.
So my question is ... Are we (The Vogue users) going to get to see these updates.

it depends on if your chefs feel like going through the countless hours of building it and porting it to your phone. I'm sure they will eventually but it's not easy, trust me.

actually nfsfan has already been working on it. It doesn't work totally yet for the vogue (no calls and text issues) but it's on the way.

Pretty buggy but it's fast........

Sadly the WM6.5 build 21139 is a fake. The dsms are hexed, and so is the core. The CMHome plugin doesn't work, neither does any of the "new" addons. I ported CMHome which is supposedly a 6.5 component, however its only dependencies that are different from that of the 21014 build are XMLLite.dll and CCore.dll. Running it on 21014 build freezes the phone just like on the fake 21139 build.

Thanks anyways
sorry to hear that you waisted your time working on the 6-5 NFSMAN, thanks for doing your thing as usual.

So are all of these other 6.5 roms that we see all over the place fakes as well?
Im glad to see that we still have a group of good developers (like yourself) who are still dedicated towards bringing us the latest & greatest!

I flashed the so called 6.5 last night and it seemed fairly fast.

It isn't any faster than the 21014 at all. And nothing is new in it!! Many things are broken, because the build is a mix of a bunch of other older builds. The fileexplorer has different icons, but it doesn't look like anything MS would incorporate. Besides think about it... If this was real, MS would be all over it.

Thanks for Sprint 1.08. Works great
