......as you may or may not know, the Atom does not come with Phonepad/intellidialer for inputing data.
Does someone have this file so I can install it on my Atom?
That would be much appreciated.
Thanks
very dissapointing result so far.....
I suggest posting this topic in the wizard forum.... you might get better results over these
i imagine this is available on the xda devs ftp. i've posted the whole extended rom from the universal in the VJBigPhone thread page 6/7 ish. it's should be in there

by the way, can you try to grab the o2 rom and/or extended rom and post here or email to me for hostings. lots of good apps in there.

Hi there.
Here it is! Works well, but sluggish at times.
hey guys,
ok i used to be quite the regular (i still host most the roms and new ones on my zimuhost.getmyip.com site).
however i'm quite behind the times and havne't been following developments much.
can someone advise me whats the best way to go about:
1) backing up my current SMSs (no clue what new software is out there)
2) suggest me a new ROM (i'm still on the old black one- shadow). i want pocketCM thats running natively if thats possible... but i don't mind installing it on another ROM that may work better.
3) space is not important to me. pagepool / speed is. i don't mind giving up 12mb pagepool memory, even more to font caches etc for speed. the storage is unnecessary.
i've already updated olipro and radio stacks, so i'm pretty good to go.
thanks a lot guys
and as usual, if you want any phone-related download mirrors for files / roms etc, just shoot me a PM with the megaupload/etc link and you'll have a nice http download option
anybody?
advice would be loved
Hello mate,
Given your history of hosting, etc, and helping the community out I thought I would get a response in before some smart ar*e tells you to read the f*** wiki.
Anyway:
- SMS backup - There's a tool on here called (I think) PIMS. Should do the job else go for SPB backup.
- New Rom - tough one this as it depends on what you are looking for. I use Schaps (see my sig) because it is rock solid stable. However Shamanix has just produced a lite version based on Schaps and has provided a shedload of cabs for people to personalise their own install. Personally I prefer this approach as you get more or less exactly what you want. Search on here for it.
Does this help?
Cheers
WB
hey WB, thanks a bunch for the response i was totally expecting the flaming to start instantly!
Problem is that the last time i frequented this site and was a regular there were like 3 ROM developers. now there are like 42,000. I have no clue which version of what to use, even after having heavily browsed around this site the past 2 days!
i'll take your advice and stick with schaps, downloading 3.54 right now...
Excellent. I can also recommend the radio version I'm using as that has been the most stable to date.
CARE - make sure you do what Mr Vanx suggests BEFORE you jump in. See here for more info (http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/). Take your time and read loads first. Saves a lot of grief later on.
Cheers

Hey Guys,
I am hoping someone has been able to test the BlackBerry Connect on this baby.
What luck have you had? I am not able to cook my ROM due to company unit and I really want to get rid of ROM 1.34.
2.15 has no working BBC so I am stuck with this old ROM.
I beg the swammies of this forum to assist in ANY way please...
Bump! Bump!
184 views an no one has any ideas? Is there someone out there with this official ROM that is willing to give this a go?
i am deeply sorry, willing to herlp you eagerly, but i have no idea about your problem, deeply sorry again.
Suggestion: Try to revise your way of prsenting your problem, may someone get understand it and help you.
it has already being posted bro this is old news if you still cannot find it google htc america 8525 support and you will find the link!
Thanks guys! I saw that the WM6 BBC in some ROMs work and others do not. I know that there have been some great cooks that have been able to get this working. I was hoping that since the 8925 supports it, the new ATT WM6 upgrade for the 8525 would support it as well. I did so searches and saw that the leaked ROM did not support it but, since this release is different, I had high hoped.
Leoiden, You mention this is old news but this was just released 5 days ago. Will it not work then? HTC says it not supported but, they have not been able to tell me if it works.
I mean the 1.34 ROM does not have BBC support but, it works great. Since I am not able to upgrade and go back, I have no way of testing it so, I was hoping someone already went through it.
Thanks in advance.
In some cooked ROMs, BB Connect is available. If you cant find one, then you can cook one into a ROM with one of the fantastic kitchens available. Try doing a search for BB Connect just specifically in the Hermes Mobile 6 forum. Hope I helped a little.
-Nstefanelli-
Yes, it did help. I am not allowed to run cooked ROM's on this device. This is why I was hoping there was a solution to run BBC on the new Official ATT WM6 ROM.
There are lots of threads telling me how to do it but they are all for the HTC ROM, the cooked ROMS and other ROMS. Non of them tell me if and when the ATT WM6 ROM rolled out Nov. 2007 will take a BBC load and work.
I know it is unsupported. I am just hoping someone out there has either tried and failed or tried and succeeded.
There is so much information out there. Weeding through the non relevant stuff to find the info that pertains to your situation is what I am having trouble with.
Hmmm... I am wondering if the BBC software for the Tilt will work on the Hermes. I am hoping that is the same build and therefore may work. Who has tried this?
There are some Mad Genius in this forum, I am amazed at the things you come up with and how quickly you get it stable. I have searched, pleaded, and researched to get a working Internet Sharing cab.
I am listing the existing cabs by Duttythroy, Shamanix, and myself.
I already know a lot of roms exist with Internet Sharing include, but not to offend any of the existing rom makers, you guys are doing an exceptional job. But as of today December 10, 2007, Schap's 4.01 Lite is the most responsive and stable rom available for the Hermes. The only reason I have not stuck with it, is because I need Internet Sharing, if you ever use the Hermes on a 3G network as a modem you will be impressed with its constant rate, no need for a Network Card.
Thanks Shamanix for all the work you put in trying to get this to work. Duttythroy was almost there as well.
I will definitely have a nice donation for the person that can finally fix this issue.

If you are going to make a recommendation, please make the best recommendation. If I were going to do a Full Rom it would be Schap's 4.01 Full, if I wanted his latest I would go with 4.22. The reason for Schap's 4.01 Lite, I don't need nor use all the things in the Full Rom and I need the space to install the programs that I do use. In my and a lot of others opinion, Schap's 4.01 and Shamanix Grass 1.13 are the best roms currently available for the Hermes.
I've had a hell of a time trying to get Internet Sharing back into a ROM that removed it (honestly, why the **** would cooks do that?). Adding all the IS files and the registry entries from the package .rgu file isn't enough. Something else seems to be missing. Oh bother. I guess I'll check the dependencies myself...

try shamanix 2.0! internet sharing works and i too load alot of programs on my rom so i need lots of storage. theres plenty left and he managed to strip out just the right programs
ok, doesn't work.....sorry
Internet Sharing Cabs
Here are two cab files that may allow Internet Sharing to be installed on a device that it was not originally build with.
You'll need to run cab 1 first, reset, then run 2. If all is well and correct, you'll have internet sharing working.
If not - back to the drawing board.
Edit- back to the drawing board. I'll post the new cabs after I reflash my cell and do some more work.
Thank you very much matt!!!
Come on Matt!
If this thing works, I have an obligation to my word.
I just Pm dgates71 saying I would be willing to also donate to the Mad Genius who figures this out.
I'll give it a try and post back.
Thanks
Edit: Sorry Matt, Didn't work for me.
I have high hopes though.

I found this combination would allow it to work on my phone after installation - even though it's already in place. I'll go ahead and strip it out of my rom and keep at it. I know it's close.

exactly what are the errors? I'd need to know to figure out why it can't be installed as cab. Sorry, the cab was not tested as my rom already has IS cooked into it.
the cab installs just fine but when trying to make a connection via usb with IS it fails (connection error or smth)
The bubble says: "Cannot connect for unknown reason"
any progress? anyone?
I'm still digging around.
I know schaps will be including it in 4.30 Lite.
I still would like to get a working solution, cab or otherwise.

2. sheeeng: thanks for posting your result on the forum and offering an alternative download link for people who can't access rapidshare, appriciated it
3. aeropic: glad to hear your 2003 french rom flew to english, i will try to see if i can get a french version for you if you still wish and when i got time

5. LuteK II: hope you have sorted out all the mess between tommy_adsl's rom and mine
for those who haven't share your experience with others, please do so if you have time
for those who just joined the forum and got my instructions, please stay here as long as you can, this is a great place
for those who got my instructions before yesterday that has a page link to ebay:

i was shocked yesterday when i noticed that all the screenshots were updated from PDAViet's 18533 rom to, what a familiar look&feel!
i can't simply judge from that changes but, don't think i am a jerk, here were the actions i took:
1. i killed the download link
2. i posted my ebay item, sell it for 1.99
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250232653715
i am not going to make a fortune of that, actualy i pull out of my own pocket to cover all the fees in order to list it. i just hate thieves.
for those who still have problem upgrading your ipaq, email me and i will try to help out
for those who are unlucky and can't get the file before i shut it down, please view my ebay item, if you like, it costs you only 2 bulks.
for those who successfully upgraded, i appreciate it if you keep your copy for your personally use only
and again my thanks go to all and this is a great community!

Hi Guys,
Thanks to this forum and I have learnt lots of stuff. After taking knowledges from people on this site and a few days hard work, I think it's time for me to give something back to the community. This is my first contribution so I hope some of you will like my work.
Attached is the link to the WM6 ROM update I created for iPAQ HX2000 PDAs. I have my two hx2495b upgraded and everything works great: outlook, office, windows live, wireless, bluetooth, ... you name it, no power drain problem, no soft reset, fast, reliable, I really love my work.
I don't have any other hx2000 series model to try but I certainly confident that it will work with all models in the series. Here are some screen shots FYI.
Please don't flash your ROM using the file downloaded directly, you could brick your device and I am not responsible for that.
Please message me and I will send you detail instructions on how to install it. I will honor every single request. please allow at least 1 min, at most a day to get my response.
!!!WARNING!!! if you are a junior member and this is your first time flashing your rom, please let me know and I will give you instructions as more detailed as possible.
Also please do not waste other people's time by pm them and asking for the instructions. instead, you can use your time walking through this and other threats and topics. you really can learn lot of stuff here, you can transform yourself from an always "eating out" person to a DIY cooking chef like me.
So far we have quite a few people successfully flash their rom, the devices range from low end 2110 to high end 2790, the original rom versions include 2003 to 6. this is very encouraging.
There do have some hiccups though, here are my suggestions:
1. if you see a symptom where when you close a program and you see some "artifacts" on the Today screen, this most likely is because that when the rom was cooked, the registry settings for today's items were not cleaned up, so to quickly fix this just enable/disable some items or reorder them through today's setting
2. if you successfully flashed the rom but your device doesn't start, simply remove your CF card and reboot again.
hope you who successfully upgraded your rom will share some experience here.
Enjoy it!

Gonna jump out on a limb here and guess that it installs the same way as the other wm6 roms?

This file is a little to short becouse file *.nbf with WM 6.1 should be about 48MB.... - in my opinion

After looking at it I don't think my guess is correct. It is a smaller than my Hermes 6.1 .nbf.
As soon as we hear from samz on how to install it I will give it a go on my 2410. I have WM6.0 on it now and I am getting some random battery drainage that hopefully this rom will take care of.
So we are waiting for Samz's instruction....
It appears that this is some sort of self extracting file. When trying to open with WinRar it ask for password...I say this is little fishy to me.
Flashing right now, will let you all know how it goes
Upgraded, flash went well. Including some screenies..
Good job samz, a very nice and flawless flash!
Feels nice and fast. I will play around with it for a few days and see if I find anything.
Might be time for me to pony up and buy a newer PDA though. It's a bummer that I only have ~12 megs of storage on the PDA but that has been about the same each upgrade since WM5.
Is the HP ProtectTools by Credant still available?

asbestos,
I'm thrilled that the 6.1 ROM is finally fixed & running!
Thanks to samz & all predecessors!
Am curious to know if the HP ProtectTools by Credant is still available in this ROM or as a separate installable cab file?
I need this application as a requirement for my work.
Also, it would be helpful to list what other 3rd party apps are included in this ROM.
Many users have been requesting for a 'lite' version of the ROM to maximize ROM space for persistent storage.
Thanks!

Does anyone has alternative link besides Rapidshare?
Can anyone help me on HP iPAQ hx2750 Upgrade to WM6?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Samz, this .xda file is different from all other upgrade file extension we find in xda forums, how can we apply this upgrade, I have a hx2795b... Please, send instructions. Tks.

Hp protect is there and it works just fine. This is a pretty light ROM. It looks like samz replaced the usual calendar with 1-cacl lite, there is the normal wm5 explorer (which I replaced right off).
There is no java support. In fact all of the usual jre's do not work as far as I know on the wm5/wm6/wm6.1 other than IBM's J9 (cab included in this post).
Here is the base rom programs:
Games:
Bubble maker
Solitaire
Apps:
Activesync
1-calc lite
File Explorer
iTask
Notes
Pictures & Videos
Search
Task Manager
Tasks
Windows Media
I do not have a "B" revision device. If you do, you most likely have much more rom storage than I do. I started off with about 14 megs which has been pretty much the standard since the old school WM5 update years ago.
I did not need to shuffle ROM's around to do this update. It is probably the easiest upgrade I have ever done on this device other than the OEM releases.
If you want to update to it just follow the directions and PM samz for the directions.
Again, thanks samz for a great ROM. I will be testing it today with my usual routine and see how it goes!
