Make your X01HT a WM6 Device (for Gaijins)

You just got your X01HT and would like to use the latest WM6 ROM in English with your Softbank account ?
Here is a quick guide, gathering information that has been exchanged and spread accross many threads on this forum (Searches can be fastidious, I know that well...)
I have been reading this forum a lot, keeping on asking questions to everybody, so it's time I contribute a bit to help by describing step by step how I switched my Japanese WM5 Softbank X01HT to a WM6 English device
This post is target at Gaijins who want an English WM6, but still want to be able to use Japanese with it. For a Japanese MUI or ROM, I guess Asukal will probably publish something
***EDIT: for a 100% Japanese ROM, you can now have it here: http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option...um_query=read,40,30486,30597,page=2#msg-30597 ***
I was first willing to cook a ROM including all these, in order to spare some space on my HERMES. I had already cooked an "intermediary" one when Tadzio issued his method to make a "shrinked" OS ROM that would allow you to use the spare space from the ROM
Since this, no point in adding all these mods in my ROM
First: making flashing safe
Download Hard-SPL-V2 from the great Olipro to avoid bricking your device. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Install it
Then, get your ROM.
Download the_passenger ROM shrink version of LVSW 20070320 ROM (More space available) and install it (Read threads about flashing ROMs if you are not familiar with that...)

Install the Softbank AP Settings for your internet connection. You really WANT that. Big thanks to itamae without whom we'd be stuck on first of April this year... (Or I'd still be using WM5)

Now you need a Registry editor
I am used to PHM Regedit. You can find it there for free:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
To map properly your Softbank Keyboard, do the following registry modifications:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 30411 (Hexadecimal base)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload] "Default"= e0010411
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1] "Default"= e0010411
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286787&highlight=keyboard+x01HT
To allow the video Call key to appear on your phone keypad, modify the registry as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin] Enabled = 1
Optional: getting rid of useless trayapp (It looks nice... but it Slows down the Hermes and you can replace it with better apps)
Delete TrayApp key from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
Fix the disappearing micro SD (Doesnt really work for mine... But could work for yours...)
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196 (Decimal base)
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]"PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196 (Decimal base)

Now time to have your Hermes speak Japanese
Japanese fonts
Use the excellent work from Asukal, that you can find here:
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/LetsJapanNo5.zip
I did have a problem with it: once I executed it, I could not sync with my Exchange server (Quite a pain for my push email account...)
Asukal found the solution: edit the registry, and change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mobem\CE-Star] "MyNLS" = "\windows\wince.nls"
Japanese input
Not using for myself, but these work perfectly (I tried):
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/BagojsINPUT.zip
*** EDIT
If you prefer a Japanese input without the annoying "Floating bar", ie just the same input way as your original WM5 Softbank ROM, just downlaod and install the "MS IME31 J" link from Asukal's page:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/IME_31J_QVGA_F.zip
*** /EDIT
Silent mode switch
You're going to be missing the Softbank unique way of switching to silent mode (Only available in Softbank ROM)
The way to go around this is by using Vibra

MMS
Softbank's MMS System is a pain because it's incompatible with "classic" MMS systems...
You can download Softbank's software... But... it's slow, big, bulky, ugly, etc... If you dont mind missing the emoticons, you should go for MMSLite
Regedit, Look for Arcsoft. Delete all references to Arcsoft (Sometimes need to be done in several times, some entries being in use if you have by mistake launched MMS Composer once since your flash of the OS...)
If you dont do these eletions, MMSLite will actually not install...
Downlaod and install MMSLite
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33982&d=1170599400
It should work perfectly !
I you have enough courage (And ONLY after having installed Hard-SPL 1.11 !!!), you can try flashing your radio
You dont have to... but the latest 1.38 does seem to grant an improved battery life
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297925
Now you're done, you have a great phone with a faster OS, more storage space, improved battery life, that works perfectly with Softbank AP, can use Softbank proprietary MMS system, and can read and write Japanese
After, there are lots of other things you can do, like mounting your Extended ROM to gain extra space, Unlock the SIM, etc, etc... But it is not the purpose of this thread. Have fun reading the forum, it is well documented in other threads
Have fun !!

just read yourpost today...im at work and i cant wait to go home and follow each of these steps.
man thanks...this is what some of us gaijins are looking for the past few weeks.
btw,
you mentioned sim unlocking etc...etc...
you mean to say, sim unlocking is done after the wm6 flash? why would some do that before the flash?

Hello,
The only problem when upgrading is the Japanese input. I used sometimes (so I need it), but I I install Japanese input package you told in your post the I have a really annoying floating bat anywhere, and it's really unnoying.
There is no way to have same kind of input in enlish ROM?

Try Asukal's IME package (see bottom of page):
http://asukal.net/blog/?cat=8&paged=3
... it includes the input method from WM5 (or one extremely similar). I'm using it with WM6 Black Edition 1.2 and have had no problems with input so far.
As for other Japanese/Japan-conversion-related issues:
- I found that when the Japanese wince.nls file is loaded, .NET CF programs crash with a 'PlatformNotSupportedException' error.
- With MMSLite installed, I can receive MMS, but not send.

I actually installed the Japanese ROM you linked to, it works like a charm, but I have a question to SoftBank users :
I'm going to work in Japan soon (1st of April) but I want to use my Hermes as my primary phone, etc. Is it possible to go to a SoftBank shop and tell them basically "Don't ask me how, but this phone is SoftBank-compatible. Now please register it into the SoftBank network and gimme a standard phone subscription. Thanks".
Meaning how can I register my phone (SIM card ? I looked and they seem to have only outrageously expensive SIM cards on loan for 108円 a day, with no 3G connectivity. Or is it possible to get a standard subscription?)?
Thanks for your help

Really? I don't get a floating bar.
Did you try it on a clean installation of WM6, or did you install it after installing the Bagojs IME? Maybe some settings in the registry are causing the bar to appear.
Also, did you set your locale to Japanese in "Control Panel->System->Regional Settings"?

You shouldn't need to install both BagojsIME and Asukal's IME package, just Asukal's. BagojsIME provides an older version of the MS IME.

Use you own phone with SB
You can pick a ZERO Yen phone to do a new contract with SB. Then change the sime card to your onw phone. Suppose you have a sim-unlock phone.

I didnt have to install anything to get the Manner mode working. I think this is implemented in WMXL. But when i set the phone skin security to 1
my phone pad disappears, turns white. Renders unusable. The only fix for me is to set it back to 0.
This might be due to the carrier setting, it happens immediately after running SB external rom carrier info.
Any ideas?

Go to www.tomtom.com and click on support. Then do a search for P3600. You'll see a January update - that's 6.03.

Thank's a lot!
Is it also possible to install the new version on the storeagecard?
During the installation i was not asked where i want to have it...

Because it goes straight to the phone storage,I had never the chance to install it somewhere else and I don not know how to do it.

The amount of memory that TomTom uses on your phone is minimal. All the large files are on your SD card.

To miniSD
You can move directly the folder to the storage card and change the .lnk to the new path.
Everything works ok (I have it like this).

iGo8 won't start, Skype won't install

hi all,
been trying to run iGo8 (navigation) on my blackstone.
after the install (no error message) the program tries to start, i get the initial start page (splash screen), then it shuts down for no reson.
anyone know how to fix this?
i tried the iGo7 i have running on my ipaq (windows mobile 5) and it does the same thing...
currently running:
rom: Dutty's V2.1 extreme
radio: 1.10...
i also tried to install skype and it stated that some files are missing from the installation no matter what i tried (update: managed to install skype - simply installed the PDA version - not the smart phone one... sorry for the bother)
anyone having said problems? any idea how to fix it?
any help would be greatly appreciated...

I had the same problem. But i believe you have 2 folders, one called 2577 (or something like that) and an IGO8 folder, right?
Go into the IGO8 folder and change the name of application.dat to IGO8.exe
This can best be done by connecting your phone with you cable to your pc.
Anyway, when you changed the name of the file, then try to open that newly renamed file. Do not open it through Start > Programs > IGO8.

still need help
Tnx for the help Sevenrow, unfortunately - it didn't work...
I tried everything i can think of (after trying your suggestion), including copying the igo8.exe (after the name change) to the install folder (program files), but still - the same crash.
the only thing i can think of now is that the program isn't planned for microSD cards, i opened the sys file and saw it was addresing the program as "%SDcard%/IGO8/"
could that be it? i tried to change the file to "/Storage Card/IGO8" likr it really is - but still no good.
any ideas will be greatly appreciated (even if they have to do with the IGO 7 that i know works perfectly (just not on the blackstone)

It's a guess but do you have the newest version of .net (3.5) ??
I have no idea about igo8 but skype runs fine on my HD and the install was without problems.
I have tomtom and route66 and both work fine on the HD.

Igo8 runs perfectly on my HD, so i guess there's something wrong with your files. I can help you with it, but i don't think it's allowed here on the forums. So tell me, if you hang out in an IRC channel or something, i'll drop by and help you out.

Try to disable A-gps.

Thanks for everyone's help - still a no go...
running .net3.5 but thanks for the thought Dave.
been trying to switch back to my perfectly legal (and working) igo 7 - but nothing... i just don't get it.
will try the a-gps off next (for now i let my HTC rest a bit - it's been a long day for it).
Sevenrow - i don't really hang anywhere... tell me where you stay - and I'll visit happily.

Fix for Igo8 on Rhodium based roms "find Address"

Hi
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.- After Hard Reset
2.- Install Igo8
3.- Go to settings, Device, Power Management and set to "Backlight Always on"
4.- Go to "Find"
5.- go to Address
6.- select a city
Can you write something? I get an "Á" that I can not delete..
If you change the power Management to "Use Device Settings" then you can write the city name.
Solution:
For users having this problem with Rhodium roms and IGO8,
[device]
Type="ALIAS_TOUCH HD"
sdcard_dsk_num=7
This fix the problem
Thanks user AGPPC for your help!

Thanks for your solution. It works very well.
At first I realised that I had the issue when I used the new keyboard so I disabled it (just using the standard one).
After your solution, I just noticed that I have another issue with the sound volume that I can only change with the screen slider, the physical volume buttons are not taken into account.
Is that the same for you and if yes do you have any idea of a trick to solve it?

I don't have this problem :S

no problems with igo8 and duttys 2.2 / DD 2 HP / leos vers 9
dont have any problems with igo8 and the latest roms!

I had the problem with MaryOne v1.3 and here was the fix i used (with mortscript and VJSipSwitchII) :

thanks. slved. i didn't knew it's was there ....

Thanks!!!
I didn't know either that it was a problem there, before you fix it!

Dear Iosub:
I Have the exact problem, and Tried your idea ( I added the [Device] and other lines you mentioned in my sys.txt file.
Now, There is NO Keyboard visible and I cannot choose anything.
Please can you help me one more time figuring out how to Find Address?

I Have version 8.3 iGo

Workaround solves the problem with address.
Thx a lot

I have this problem but a dont understand how to fix I am a nood please tutorial ?

i need sys.txt to IGO 8.3. Can someone send me ?

Nice one! This has been bugging me for a while now.
Thanks for posting this

Just a question:
- why reinstall IGO8 after flashing the device?
If you installed it to your card, it will work normally after hard-reset or flashing new ROM. You simply have to copy a shortcut to lead to IGO8.exe and copy it into Windows\Start menu\Programs. It will even show up under All applications list.
Run it, and that's it.
Same goes for Ndrive, TomTom and pretty much any other program you install on your card. I got some programs running from the card I installed the very first day I got my HD, and I changed like 6 ROMs so far.

easy fix...
change your soft keyboard to "keyboard" the default old keyboard (not the new from manilla) and it works...
atleast for me

usbtopc popup on xperia?

Hope someone can help me with this. I know usbtopc wasn't working on the x1 for a long time. But I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500823&highlight=usbtopc+popup it's a bit old but it says usbtopc is working on the x1. So I first downloaded usbtopc(found it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427956) after that installed the fix cab from the other thread. But still it doesn't work. Got an option in the settings menu but when connecting a usb cable to the phone there is no popup or something. So what am I doing wrong? Thought i'm using the wrong version of usbtopc cab, but I can't find another one.
The rom i'm using is: Windows Mobile 6.5 for the XPERIA X1 - PURE ROM by gtrab(great rom btw)
Hope someone can help me out
Thanks

Anyone who can help me?

Have you consider the possibility of using another ROM?
I have seen that problem solved some time ago in some of the ROMs I have been testing.
I am now using one of Wild Child's latest and not only is fast and stable but also has that USB to Popup working like a charm.
Give it a try!

No, but I really like this rom so I prefere an cab to another version or a solution instead of changing the rom? Anyone?

I have got it working in my custom rom... will make a cab and post tomorrow... too late tonight!

Cab would be great
tried to get that working in my Rom but for this we'll have to use the USBtoPC.exe from Topaz/Rhodium/Blackstone (... whatever) and that didn't worked on my x1 well....

I have removed cour.ttf from my custom rom so I don't face that problem.
Do let me know if this cab works. Other cookers can see the registry modifications I have done.

I have been through both the links you have posted before coming up with the cab... And I use the x1 USBtoPC.exe which works perfectly

Nice it works But is there a change the popup can be made as full screen or just a popup with transparent background(no background). Because there is a little screen glitch at the bottom now.
