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!)

Here is my two cents..
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

Since I don't want to read hundreds of posts from the other thread. What is internet calling, and how do I get it to work?
Oh, and this is my 3rd ROM install, it's amazing how easy it is. Did it late last night, so I don't know how it is yet, but the black theme is great!

Maybe if At&t released an official WM6.1 ROM for hermes, then you can get PTT. For now, you are on your own...

Thanks for the reply
Hmmm maybe its time to move up to the tilt lol

Wow! I had HEARD that there was a person who actually used PTT, but I never believed it. FWIW, I spent days researching how to remove that "feature" from my shipped ROM. I would have been happy to send you the garbage I took out, but I threw it all away quickly because it was smelling up my whole desk.
I still can't believe I found the person who AT&T built that stuff for.

Ricky And Kavana Are The Best!

Yah its coming out Q2 of 2009 meaning roughly around summer of 2009... I confirm this from T-Mobile...

Any idea what kind of device it is ?

I was told that it is pretty much the same layout with a new rom and of course 3G and a lot sleeker and thinner... plus a bigger screen...

I heard it came with Mojave

What about the original Tmobile WM6 Rom Developers?

Who knows, who those people are...

Probably work for Verizon now...haha

Some of their names are in the provisioning files of the original TMobile WM6 ROM I've combed through each one and there's at least 3 or 4 names in there from people making comments on why they're changing a setting in the ROM.. heh

Without any doubt KAVANA and RICKY has done are great job at the beginning. They have inovated every person who are using a HTC620 device - making WM61 stuff available for anybody. Fantastic.
After installing the latest version from NRG I have to say, halligalli. For me it's the best cooked version I ever saw. Awesome.
Last but not least, it work's perfect for everyone who does not have an US keyboard. Sometimes this is an important thing for the user outside US.
Thanks NRG!

The windows mobile 6.5 (news)

I thought everyone who owns an excalibur should know about this...
http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/11/07/windows.mobile.65.a.go/

When an article is 3 months old, it's no longer considered news. It's olds.

Already available for some PPC users, M$ kicked off today @ XDA and got the item removed... Doubt any of the Dash users will see WM6.5 unless someone ports it, as no new ROMs have been officialy produced and not even an official WM6.1...
So we can dream and wait till the Dash 2 and see what we get?
lol @ post above was didn't even read the link

A big difference is that it will be for a different device
I know what the difference is and have run WM6.5 "Hybrid" (Without the new homescreen) on Tilt, it will take someones time to port it so we will see?

True!! But i think that they will going to reallese it on a simular divice!Maybe not... The phone will handle the new wm6.5(if someone ports it) roms im sure!
I have an old qtek 8310 and it runs wm6.1 smooth and yet the model is soo old..
You understand what im trying to say right?

(REQ) New Ozzy Telstra Rom

Can someone with a valid serial number either post it here, or pm me, or upload the new Telstra rom (ROM Version:1.93.841.0) from HTC Australia? My TP2 is unbranded and I am on Telstra - so my official serial wont work.
Rom is here: http://www.htc.com/au/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=901&news_id=583
Thanks in advance.

Myself and 108 others of us apologize for not having the info you needed after reading your post, and feeling like it didn't make much sense for all of us to post saying "sorry can't help you"

I'm hoping they release a Swedish version of the ROM soon... Or... what exactly is Telstra? Is just an update for a specific supplier?
But... Whats new in this ROM and why the hell doesn't the write it on their site?

Telstra is a service provider so its a bloated rom. I just needed it for work. Haven't had a chance to flash it yet - I'll let you know just how "bloated" it is when I get a chance.

A blaoted rom is one that has a lot of service provider CRAP. For instance, I am on TmoUS, and my rom came with at least 5 apps that I never used in the past, am not using now, and will never use in the future...Most of this crap appeals to someone who isn't very techie and isn't aware of the amazing abilities of these devices. Sometimes said bloatware runs in the background whether you want it to or not.
Think of it like this...
A Shelby AC Cobra 427 is automobile perfection...then someone get the bright idea to add crap to it. Maybe a crappy muffler, perhaps changes to the struts and suspension. It slows down the beast of a motor, maybe even makes it sputter and backfire a bit, it doesn't handle a curve as well...
This is bloatware...they take a device that is really good, then they add their own crap to it which slows it down, lags it out, and makes it run inefficiently.

Yep. The previous post is about right. It's full of crap that you never use. Someone will probably strip it soon enough if its worth it. I only need it for work/warranty reasons.

Actually yes full of Telstra advertising... now with telstra some links are useful (most are not foxtel etc) but must say nowhere near locked down as their 6.1 effort... working fine so far and to my surprise after 6.1 slowness not much if any slower than the HTC 6.5 had on device before flashing... will look for reg edits to clean up further.... so likely to keep if GPS works as good as 6.1 (really fast locks) as GPS was slow to lock on HTC 6.5

Thanks for explanation!!
