Hi there,
Since Crossbow is running perfectly on my Universal, I wanted to give another model a try, so anyone ever succeeded in having the iPAQ hx4700 running Crossbow?
I know it might be a bit dangerous, but I already tried to put the hx4700 in the bootloader and to flash a HTC Universal Crossbow ROM.
It actually starts upgrading, but after a few %'s the screen turns blank and with a soft reset the device will restart.
Something to forget or is there a way?
i m currently doing some rom cooking for my 4700...
working out the wm6!
Great!!
I'd say: please share when you've something done.
i cant find anything similar to initflashfiles.dat

Is this a ROM for the hx4700?
If it isn't this is no new leaked ROM. It's one of the first WM6 ROM's for the HTC Universal. Many other have already been released after this one.
thats not for 4700
but i m trying to do sth with it
hope u guys will develop a great rom for his GrEAT device too
however i m improving the speed of wm5
like editing paging pool and removing some rubbish
added some wm6 rings into the rom and stuff.

Any progress made on a Crossbow ROM for hx4700?
I'm really interested on some new ROM for the hx4700. It has not been beaten yet in terms of speed and screen size! Why not WM6 on it??
I already found a few ROM's, but i'm hoping too, that the hx4700 community will pick this up as well as the HTC one ...

Any news on this topic?
?
I havent heard anything as of yet hoepfully there will be a WM6 ROM Soon on the HX4700.

A Modded WM5 version
I hope somebody does get a WM6 rom working for the hx4700. It's time for a step up from the unstable modded WM5s with a pretty WM6 theme.
All the new tools over at the hermes forum isnt it possible to cook a WM6-rom for trinity with thoose. Damn that I dont have the knowledge.
+1
I hope that the XDA team will extends XDA Live's support to the Trinity..
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it shows up soon...
I'm a little confused. What does WM6 have or do that WM5 doesn't? I hate newly released Micro$oft products as they are generally full of bugs and holes and nothing seems to work right (Vista) or am I messing something? Just wondering what I would gain by moving to WM6.

Problems with XIP!!!
WM5 - win_kernel in ROM
WM6 - win_kernel in XIP
we can't modify XIP
p.s. for TyTN WM6 RomUpdate - custom ROM
xda-developers not create this rom for Hermes - xda-developers only customized WM6 Rom

So the Hermes WM6 has XIP Kernel made especially for Hermes from MS? If we are to get WM6 on the Trinity, we need to find a WM6 ROM with a kernel that is made especially for the Trinity from MS? Is my logic right?

If you load hermes OS.nb to Trinity - you device die!
So we have to find a leaked WM6-rom for Trinity then. Hmmm probably easier to find water in the sahara dessert.
So will never see wm6 on trinity???
I've tried to flash the OS from hermes in my trinity. Doesn't work.
I thought my device had died but i managed to get into the bootloader (after reinserting battery) end reflash trinity rom
Today is a BAD day!!!
Is this the end of the line?
This is dreadful news.

better not put radios on cooked roms, can easily brick the device... if you are testing OS just put OS on the nbh file.
ok , i'll modify it , but i haven't got any trouble yet. Anyway . i'll do it soon
As some people maybe aware, the WM6.1 roms for P3600i crash / reset themselves randomly because the file system on the phone eventually becomes corrupt (folders everywhere with funny char names like 'Z*&!![]') . WM6/Shaps rom seem to be ok.
I thus have a theory / possible work around
I was doing some comparing of file sizes / best guess between WM6 and WM6.1 dlls.
I had a list of file that were different sizes between them... googled them, then eliminated it all down to one maybe two dll's.
The most likley hack/fix would be
WM 6.1 imgfs.dll is 37kb
WM 6 imgfs.dll is 27kb
something about storage bug imgfs.dll here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=298327&page=5
A dll not in WM6 is sdputil.dll 25kb. - but I dont think this is the problem dll.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is my problem...
I have dumped shaps wm6 rom, but I could not find imgfs.dll !!!!!
is there something special about this dll as I see imgfs tools about but dont know what to do....
can someone please tell me the procedure on how to swap the dll's to test my theory?
or maybe do it for me and build a WM6.1 rom with the WM6 version of the imgfs.dll?
Thanks for any help!
Hi
Sorry my english is very bad
imgfs.dll =>> this dll is included in all Rom
it is linked to Rom XIP file for cookers
Certainly related to the size of the memory.
IMGFS.dll is also linked to another file XIP
we need better change the XIP complete.for xip compatibility with p3600I.
Search ROM wm6.1 for p3600 compatibility with p3600I
extract xip for tools ervius or tools donald .folder ROM=>> (os.nb) and (XIP)=>>into xip IMGFS.DLL and other dll ans other file sytem for boot .....
if you get dll IMGFS.ddl to put it in a more rescent XIP for Rom 6.1. it will make a g'reloc or m'reloc (misar tool) to recalculate the memory address
I suppose .... Your solution is too simple to be?
sent a mail or a Schaps or abebacar or ervius or Nikitto ..(master cooker)
^
Thanks for advice, but I dont know what I am doing...

any cookers who can do the swap?

basically you can't have a rom work for both p3600 and p3600i and have it be stable. For p3600i roms to work well, it has to be cooked with p3600i OEMXIP and OEMDrivers. All roms out there use p3600 OEMXIP, I believe, but haven't checked all to be sure.

oggi1969 has posted some help, but I just dont know what I am doing / havent found the time to read everything.
Schaps WM6 rom was very stable - so I'm guessing it is the jump from WM6.1 that has cause the issue.

does p3600i come with wm5 or wm6?
as for p3600 it comes with wm5 and there's no "genuine" oemdrivers & oemapps for the p3600, but only adapted ones...
ie oem from bepes or adw kitchen is not video call enabled..
ok.. whatever
have you already taken a look at the 3d by joncgde2? he tells, that the newer cooked roms are pretty stable on the i (209xx and above)

Don't have a trinity anymore to do this. But for any cooks out there. Don't know how important OEMdrivers is for stability, but I'm sure it'd help as the p3600i does have slightly different hardware. But for sure OEMXip is important. Use the p3600i xip when porting XIP to something newer for p3600i roms. This would mean when cooking you'd have a different os.nb.payload for p3600i and p3600.

well.. here's something new i want to throw into:
imgfs.dll is responsible for accessing the imgfs file system ... imgfs is readonly
if you change something in your devices file system, the responsible dll is fatfsd.dll - so we might also look here.. to get really sure i'd like to extract this from a p3600i stock rom .. then i would cook it into a light rom and you get it to test
Sweet!!!
Let me know how you go.
And a BIG thank you.
BTW: I think the fatfsd.dll file was the same size for WM 6 and WM 6.1 - thus why I did not think it was this dll.
As some one mentioned before, these dll are read only cause they are core files, so you have to do some complex procedure which I have no clue how to do....
Hi,
I have to flash the rom anyway (there are some strange things happening to my device, I fear it is hijacked). Since I am only an interested end user, not so much interested in testing - I would like to know whether I should use one of the latest WM6.5 or a stable WM6.1 rom. I already have a 6.1 rom, but a quite early one ([english ROM LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.1.1 (2007-05-27)]) and thus not so reliable.
The first issue, however is, since I own a P3600 (400 MHz only) with ROM: 128 MB and RAM: 64 MB SDRA only, whether WM 6.5 would ever run stable on this device. Does anyone have a well founded opinion on this issue?
Anyway, what would be the most stable version?
From my side, no language preference, English would be as fine as German.
Thank you for any kind response!
stable ROM
Hi,
Chanvi 's one are good ROM(s) .. On my opinion, i prefer the 6.1 rom with manila 2D more usable than 6.5 with CHome ...
I'use this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472178
"Update Feb-13-2009 : OS 21139.5.0.0 Manila 2D Iolite-Footprints .
This Rom is a hybrid WM 6.1/6.5"
Great ROM !
regards
[ROM] [WWE] Windows Phone 6.5 21815 by Savesaint [Online] [Updated 2009.06.18]
This one is more stable, then Chanvi's, from my opinion, i had much more bugs using different builds from chanvi's, even in different customisations.
Savesaint's has it's own bugs, and i can't customise it (because it's not a kitchen), but i prefer using that one.
But 3600's wm5 doesn't look like this one
the both sent ROM is 6.5 and as i know it always Memery hungry . does anubody knows whis ROM is the best in 6.1?

I use from 3 month now and i have no problem with FInixNOver 3.7.2 light, before i use FInixNOver 3.7.2 manilla and it work very good.I was change it becose in manilla i have 12 mb free memory and igo stops sometimes.
this is another vote for the FInixNOver 3.7.2 light rom, for stability you cant get anything better than this ... i've tried a lot of roms and have allways gone back to this one.
I've tried all the 6.5 version roms and to be honest mate ... dont go there, they all have their issues.
give it a try to 6.5
I have been testing for a while now some 6.5 Roms. From my experience they have bugs, not all the programs can't work on 6.5, etc...
But I am confident since the savesaint 815 that we are going to have a very stable Rom soon. From my experience this was the best in 6.5 roms.
The few bugs that the rom have are solve by now.
Must wait developments... until Stable!

Yeah
I agree, things got to get done. WM 6.5 it's not final version yet. Still in development from Microsoft... so got to wait a bit more so that we can really talk about a stable ROM.
Until there, with minor or sometimes a bit major bugs, the latest Builds are working better...

installed the rom and after playing with it for a while, i must say that this rom is very good. quick and stable. so i think i stick with this rom for a while.
wm 6.5 is cool, but it soo slow with newer releases, so that i cant use it anymore.
I am the same opinion, for now I'll stay with version 6.1 light version to not have problems with iGO.I find on the net windows mobile 5, original vesion HTC P 3600 and I thinking to install that to comarare wm5 and wm6.1. I bought SPV M700 from orange, 2 years ago.

first i was very happy with wm6.5 (first releases). But the more wm6.5 goes further, it's soo slow and the response time is very long (i use spb mobile shell).
I never had problems with tomtom, but with the last wm6.5 releases tomtom runs so slow

Only if you want internet radio.
You all welcome to try my rOms.
If you are looking for stability, I definitely recommend trying Tomme45i's latest ROM series:
[ROM+KITCHEN][WWE][26.08.09]WM 6.1.21054 + 6.5.23017 Classic
He has stripped away the fancier elements of 6.5 (so personal preference will play a part in deciding if it is the ROM for you) but it's incredibly stable, has excellent memory handling and suffers from no memory leaks.
It is probably the last of his Trinity ROMS, so well worth checking out.
Hope this helps,
Matt.
Hi,
Going through the forum, I understand that P3300 / M650 could get quite slow after being upgrade to WM 6.5 (compare to WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 for example).
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
Moreover, I just read that Microsoft has officially launched today the official WM 6.5 version.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
Last point, how fast and stable is GPS on WM6.5 (using Tom Tom 7), since I am experiencing problem with my actual ROM WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 (have to "soft-reset" my HTC each time before to launch Tom Tom 7, otherwise is losing satellites after a few seconds...).
Thks a lot, Fred
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
The memory management with every new build that comes out seems to be better and better. So as compared to the first beta builds, the latest RTM builds are much zippier.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
There are many ROMS out there based on 'official' 6.5 builds. The phones that ship with 6.5 have builds from the COM2 branch which have the old interface, but we also have official builds of 6.5.1, which is a COM 4 branch, and which has GUI improvements.
....it was also my doubt: how is possible that there are already so many cooked wm6.5 roms, if microsoft released it officially only yesterday?
Which is the starting point for this roms?
Some wm6.5 rom for developers?
Finally, one question directly for randythered:
I read on your sign that you "participate" to the project wm6.5 base...what is it?
And also that you include in your roms
RtR Base Version1
RtR Base Version 2
RtR Manila v1.0
RtR WM 6.5 Base v2.0 (Build 23052)
Which are the differences and which you would suggest to a "newbie" that is still running the official HTC wm6 rom?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I've seen also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567864
that increase my confusion
Please help me!
Thanks!!
The builds that have been coming out have been leaked out by trusted sources. Check out Development & Hacking forum.
Project 6.5 Base is what I was working on, the ROM is ready so I have to change my sig now
All those are the ROMs that I have cooked. RtR Base V2 is WM 6.1 Clean ROM, with minimal add on apps.
RtR Manilla 1.0 is a M2D ROM, similar to the HTC Touch Viva.
RtR 6.5 Base is a clean 6.5 ROM, with the latest build of 6.5 and very few add on apps for faster ROM.
The ArteMEGA is the latest ROM i've cooked, it's got software from the recently launched HTC MEGA.
If you want to flash a new ROM you have to unlock your phone first by flashing USPL. Then you can flash any ROM of your choice!
So, just to summariza, I should install:
1) RtR Manilla 1.0 if my first wish is to have the Manila (diamond style) user interface
2) RtR 6.5 Base is I don't care about HTC propetary interface, and I want the last microsoft wm with its features...light and stable since is a base.
3) ArteMEGA if I want the last microsoft wm as well as the last HTC user interface and I don't care toom uch about speed...
IT is correct?
Thanks in advance!!
Yes, that is indeed correct.
I was just going to reply with a "Yep. " but xda thinks that's too short

Thanks for your answers !
Just to know, does the release number "23060" for the ROM W 6.5 base is a good way to know if it's clean/last version ?
Do you have a W6.5 ROM with French language support to recommand (clean / stable / speedy !) ?
Rgds, Fred
All builds are the same, it's the cooks job to make it as speedy as possible. As far as I know, the 23060 and 23420 builds have some issues with the dialog buttons, but these have been adressed. Read the latest builds thread for more info.
