i-mate JASJAR AKU 3.2 Rom Update 1.90.94 - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hello Everyone,
It has been a while since my last ROM update and I thought I would build another one based on the newly available AKU 3.2 core. The good news is that I have completed the ROM and have tested it myself extensively (as always) with no major bugs or issues to report. I am now posting the final version for all that wish to help evaluate and test this beta prior to its full release. As I stated above this is my final beta and all features should operate as desired, however if anyone should have issues or suggestions please post them.
Enjoy,
Jwrightmcps
Now for the fun part!

Same as Ivan's
Hi,
Is this rom same as Ivan's? and if not what is the difference?
also, can you PLEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEE include the languages pack??

This ROM is designed for the I-mate JASJAR and is completely different than Ivan's O2 ROM although they both share the same AKU 3.2 core. see the above post for my ROM contents.
As for the language pack...
if you are referring the the OS language pack this would be impossible, because that would only be on a new device that has never been used before. The language pack feature is a new design in which a new device would already have all languages loaded in the "program memory" from the factory and when the new owner starts the device for the first time it would ask what language he/she preferred, then after the user's selection it would erase all languages except the one chosen. So these language packs are not available in any ROM and therefore I would never be able to package it.
I hope this answers your questions.
Take care,
Jwrightmcps

hi,
I successfully extracted the ship.exe from the ship.zip,
as I have a Qtek 9000 I need the .nbf files.
It looks that the .exe files are not a SFX CAB archive.
This way I cannot use MaUpgrade to flash my Qtek.
Could you please put a .exe SFX file in the ftp? so I'll be able to extract the nbf files.
Thank you very much
Dias

I flashed it and its really good so far. No problems yet

SFX???
what are you trying to do???
all you need to do is run the .exe and then go to the temp folder (dont close the installer) on your computer and look for the newest folder then open it and copy the nbf files you want.
Then you can use the MaUpgrade tool. You may want to put your device in bootloader mode first.
Take care,
Jwrightmcps

is there any HTC Intellipad included, cause i cannot live without it, in Lt.Cmdr Ivan aku 3.2 beta 12, the phone pad is gone ....

yes intellipad, smart dialer, voice dialer and many other features.
enjoy!

- Start install
- open (windows->run) "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp"
find latest created folder (which contained all nbf files).
- copy *.nbf to where maUpgrade was extracted
- close install
- run maUpgrade (needed to do it twice as it didnt go into serial mode fist time).
hope this help

Heres my findings and bugs report for this latest Beta Roms we have here, plus i got a New Version of SIM Manager 5.22 to share with u guys!!
NEW SOFTWARE!!!
New SIM Manager v5.22
Current Version in the ROM is v3.16
I found this NEW Version of Sim Manager v5.22 from the Internet. You can copy ALL your name contacts from memory to SIM card at one go. One catch though - contacts saved under company names will only display contact numbers and NOT company names. Would like to share this and hopefully u can intergate it into your next Beta release or maybe the Final release.
Bugs Found:
1: Hardware buttons not responding anymore
a) volume slider
b) light button
c) voice dial
d) camera
SMS Multiple Recipient improvements
2: Cannot find this function in the inbox application for SMS. Not sure if its included or buggy sorry i cannot find it. Pls englight me on this issue. Thanks!
New Ringtone Plug-in
3: Sorry, can't find this application or program either.
4) Default File Explorer is Missing!!!
Findings:
1)New Camera application 3.00 22764
Camera Pictures Quality still not much improved
There is a newer version found in UNI.AKU3.2WWE-indra9110.BETA1 (130.115) Camera Version is 3.00 22844, i can't get hold of this version hopefully someone who has this version can share and contribute. Thanks!!
2)Screen Rotation icon no longer in taskbar!
I personally found this icon very useful, can pls reinstate in your nest Beta or the Final release. Really Appreciated!!
3)Bottom Bar Default Calender and Contacts function changed to Notes and Contacts.
Its this a AKU 3.2 upgrade or can it be changed back to Calender and Contacts Instead??
4) New Game included
Pocket Chess- Cool!!
5)Some findings on Default Memory on this Latest AKU 3.2 Rom
Default Storage Memory- 37.38MB
Default Program Memory- 28.91MB
6) Speed
Yes, Definately we have a faster ROM, still cannot comment on stability cos just downloaded it an hour ago, hope my findings can help improve this ROM further. Thanks Jwrightmcps Great Job, keep it going man!!

Does this rom support Video calls ?
Does this rom support Video calls ?
thanks

it does support Video calls
4) Default File Explorer is Missing!!!
Its in the Start menu (I thought a 3.2 Feature)
1: Hardware buttons not responding anymore
mine does
a) volume slider
Mine works
b) light button
does not work (i use the power on off button
c) voice dial
Dont care
d) camera
Works

Bugs...
The file explorer is not missing it is on the start menu (look closer please, as your post might scare people)
"ALL" hardware buttons should work, as the do on all my test phones (7 JASJAR's) Please check this again.
SMS Multiple Recipient improvements means you can SEND a text message to more than one person at a time much easier than before (this is an AKU 3.2 feature)
The Ringtone Plug-in is found by doing a "tap and hold" on any sound file, this now includes mp3 files. (so there is no program to run, that is why you don't see it)
The Calendar softkey was replaced with Notes, due to the fact you can already launch the calendar from the today screen. Leaving it as the default "Calendar" is redundant don't you think? I fell it is far more useful to have another program to launch, such as the notepad, so one could take notes quickly. I will not change this, but could provide a signed cab file that would change it to the default.
Screen Rotation Icon, again this is another redundant feature that was removed, since our devices will rotate the screen automatically. I will not change this either, but again I can provide a signed cab file for those that wish to have this icon available.
There were many other additions that I don't think you noticed yet. You all should pay attention to the things like "USB HDD", "Bluetooth Settings w/ all profiles" and the updated "Bluetooth Mouse support" just to name a few.
I hope this answers you questions
-Jwrightmcps

First of all, I would like to say thanks for this ROM (and all the guys like Ivan & Indra that put a lot of effort into it).
My observations of this ROM:
1. All buttons works perfectly. Volume, Voice Dial etc...
2. ROM is much polished than Ivan's ROM. A lot of Registry tweaks are even included already.
3. Initially after Hard Reset, the ROM felt very sluggish. However, after applying the usual Registry Tweaks this ROM just flies.
4. First time sync with Activesync 4.5 Beta is really fast. Normally it's a pain!
5. Clear Storage now resides in Control Panel as 'System Restore' so does Download Agent.
6. Lots of goodies: PhonePad, Smart Dialing, USB HDD, BT Profiles/Drivers/SIM Access, Clearvue PDF, Voice Speed Dial as well as Pocket Chess.
7. Messaging is now 'Outlook Mobile'
Will observe more Once I got all my softwares installed.
As for now, this ROM looks good.
Cheers!

XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a
Taking You to the Limit
Release 3 is now available! See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324632 for downloads and discussions on this latest version of XM6!
On 7/7/07 Release 2a replaced Release 2. See known issues for the slow program folder fix, or upgrade to Release 2a
XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a (XM6r2a for short) is the second version of the popular XM6 rom for the Wizard. This is mainly a release to fix some bugs, and update apps that were in the first version of XM6.
I'm also releasing a "Lite" (not Vanilla, or Clean, but "Less Filling") version of XM6. The Lite is the exact same build with Apps removed (but some "essential tools" are left in, thus its not Vanilla or Clean, but Lite).
XM6 is built on the OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01 rom that was provided to us by InGeNeTiCs from Howard Forums. One major difference between the original Release and Release 2 is that in this version the ROM, SYS, and OEM folders originated from the Ingenetics Kitchen work by mattk_r (where the original release of XM6 was a mismash of Faria ROM kitchen OEM packages, and ones I built). Organization of this rom is much better (if you want to dump it)
Please remember that this ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted with many inputs from users of the Original XM6 and the Crossbow Reloaded series, so no complaints about why does this rom have this in it, or why didn't you put this in there. If you don't like how this rom is spiced, then go grab a ROM, put it in one of the many Kitchens now out, and make your own version. I am open to ideas on how to improve the rom so constructive criticism is appreciated (to a point ).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to perform at a better than acceptable level for myself, and so far Battery life seems very good for me and those beta testing this. If you have Battery Drain issues, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. BatteryStatus is NOT included in this ROM due to how fast changes come out with this application, and not everyone likes it or uses it. If you want to overclock or use other features of BatteryStatus, you are welcome to download and install the latest version of BatteryStatus yourself.
Base ROM Information
The base rom was an "Official" Wizard WM6 ROM that was part of the development cycle of WM6 inside of Microsoft (Dogfood as they call it). The base rom was not a port of another device rom with drivers and stuff pieced and parted onto this one, but this was an actual Wizard WM6.
Windows Mobile 6, OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01
ROM Version: 10.1.0.811 WWE
ROM Date: 08/11/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM.
What's In XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a?
Both versions have the following
Office 2007
New 8 Button "Touch" Style CommManager (yeah only 8 buttons. If you want more then install one of the many 10 or more button ones )
VoIP (See next post for instructions to set this up)
SQLCE
HTC X-Button v1.0
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR (ROM already has associations with .rar and .zip setup)
SIP Config 2.0.1
SynchroTime
Total Commander Beta 2.5
PIM Backup to 2.4 (updated in 2a)
Windows Live Search searches via Google
WM5torage 1.75
SIM Manager 6.13
psShutXP was Removed in 2a due to it not working properly and causing problems with Programs folder
dotFred TaskManager (with registry editor link setup and associations built in for .reg files)
Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
The Full Release also contains the following
mUn designed onscreen Keyboard skin (grey/green one)
Mobile Justice (a security app that will send an SMS if an unauthorized SIM is placed in your phone)
TodayAgenda
StartClean
Pocket Screen Capture
HTC Audio Manager
CicleBT (Toggle BlueTooth on and off)
1-Calc Lite
WiFiFoFum 2.2.12
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
Smartskey 0.56 (DPAD is set to 0 in the .ini so the up and down scrolling works in the Phone dialer as expected in WM6)
SMSDRFix
DotFred's SoftKeyAppletEx
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms, CID unlock your phone, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its NOT included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
Radio Issues UPDATE: There appears to be a possible fix for the Radio issue on Cingular. Attached is a cab you can run to implement the change. I've successfully run Cingular 2.25 radio on my phone for many days now with no missed calls or SMS messages. Others have had success with 2.61 and 2.69 radios after doing this fix. You can follow this thread (starting around post 9) on this. A newer cab is now posted and info on it can be found around post 214.
Credits
I've moved the credits to the 6th post of this thread as this post has become too big.
Known Issues
The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.
In XM6r2 some people were having problems when they go to Start > Programs and the folder was taking a long time to paint or the phone would hang. To resolve this, remove the Shutdown.lnk and Display Switch.lnk located in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs or upgrade to XM6r2a
Every WM6 rom I've tried has an issue where if you use the "Press and Hold" of the CommManager button to switch to and from Vibrate mode, that the ringtone may not play when not in vibrate mode. To work around this go to Settings > Phone and play your ringtone and your ringing will work again.

How to not have a 24hour Clock (or how to show AM/PM)
This works on all WM6 roms
Go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings
Make sure you have the correct Region selected
Click on the Time tab
Click on the drop down box for Time Style
Notice the little up and down arrows? This is a scrolling region in this dropdown. Click the up arrow a couple of times and you'll find h:mm:ss tt
Thats it. Microsoft is amazing at having a 2 line scrolling region on this dropdown. You'd think they would have had at least 3 or 4 lines show up for chosing (and it would be more obvious that its a scrolling region then too).
GPRS / MMS Setups
This rom uses the new Arcsoft 4.0 software which has SMS and MMS merged together. Overall I personally like this better in my using it, so I put it into this rom. To setup your MMS settings though is a little different / odd. Here's what you do:
Go to Messaging
Menu > New > MMS
Select whichever MMS template
Menu > Options > MMS Options
Now you are in the familiar MMS settings page. You can choose the Servers tab to setup your MMS server.
Here is a list of automated and manual ways of setting up GPRS and MMS for various cell providers and regions:
Attached to this post is the cab file for Cingular users to setup GPRS and MMS.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS
Here's another link with cab files for T-Mobile US users:

VoIP Setup Instructions
Thanks to joaosousa for the following steps!
!!! Only Tested in a Wifi network !!!
Install the wm6voip.cab.
Restart your Wizard (Soft Reset).
Go to Start > Programs > Accessories and open SIPConfig Aplication.
Insert your VoIP account information. (See example below)
Restart your wizard (Soft Reset).
Now you should be able to use VoIP, check the status of the service in the today screen.
SIPConfig configuration (VoipBuster account):
Service name: Voip
SIP Server: sip.voipbuster.com
UserName: my_voipbuster_user_name
Password: my_voipbuster_user_password
This didn't work? Then please check this thread:

Connecting XM6r2a to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, I've attached a zip file with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link! You can also check this thread for another RUU that is in English and seems to work for most G4 users. Thanks Vippie!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup
Hermes Black Cabs that may be of Interest
Transcriber can be added back into XM6r2a by using the Black 3 Add-on CABs file. There may be others in it that may be of interest also for some. Included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested) and Adobe Reader LE.
10 Button Black CommManager
Some seem to think 10 buttons are better than 8, and some just like the look of the 10 button CommManager over the 8 button one in this rom. So attached to this post is a zip file with the 10 Button Black CommManager. You shouldn't have to use the cert cab file, just run the CommManager one.
Turning off Word Auto Completion
Some people do not like how Windows Mobile tries to suggest words that you may be typing. If you are one of those people, jacob-mda wrote up a post on how to turn it off. Check out This Thread.
Auto Completion for Spanish
User peu found the file to change the auto completion of words to Spanish. You can check his post here for details and a link.
New DialPad to match the CommManager
The EquinoXe was successful at pulling out the dial pad from the HTC Touch and it matches up with the CommManager in XM6 very nicely (see pic attached below). I've attached the CAB to this thread, so if you'd like to use this dialpad, just download and install. Cool! WARNING: If you install this, you can't just uninstall it. It requires a HARD RESET or you have to reflash this rom to go back to the original dialpad that was included in WM6r2! Some love this DialPad and the features of it, and others don't like it.
BatteryStatus (for Overclocking, CPUScalar, and much much more)
BatteryStatus is a very popular utility around here and for good reasons. Currently its in a beta phase and the author is releasing new versions of the beta constantly so I decided not to put it in the rom and let people install whatever build of it they want. Also, some versions of BatteryStatus have been known to cause excessive battery drain, so be aware of that too. You can find it in the Official BatteryStatus thread and if you do use it, feel free to give feedback on it in that thread as they are always looking for ways to improve it.
NOTE: If you do use overclocking, I recommend you use the OMAP Apps tab to setup Camera to be at 195Mhz as it can mess up the display if you are overclocked and doing the camera.

Info on Included Apps
MobileJustice v0.8
MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).
For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).
The project page for MobileJustice is located at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/

Note that psShutXP was removed from XM6r2, and PIM Backup was upgraded from 2.2 to 2.4. Those are the only changes between r2 and r2a.

Hey Brillant!!!
Do you have any screen shots to show the people, what a excellent system you have made??
I am running XDA Mobile 6 and look forward to flashing the "r2".
Great work

I'm still updating the first couple of posts. Screen shots are coming.
Since most seem interested in memory, the Lite version gives you about 29meg of free Program memory. The Full Version just over 28meg of free Program memory (so not a lot of difference, but thats right after flash).

Thanks for the quick answer. What time is it there? Here it's 9am.

mfrazzz,
you should try and get hold of a link for the 1.6 UK version of Voice command, as I had tried the 1.5 on the XDA Mobile 6 and it didn't work. 1.6 works fine.
Darren

Congrats!
Congrats on the final release. Unfortunately I never got round to installing the beta as I just didn't have time. Really looking forward to trying the final cooked version though - this looks like a superb combination of features and apps.
I trust you managed to resolve the comm manager issue?

No problem on not being able to help with the Beta, seemed a number of people I invited couldn't participate, but we all have lives outside of XDA (hard to believe, but we do ).
Yes, the CommManager issue in XM6 is fixed in XM6r2. And then the CommManager issue I had with the Lite beta is also fixed in this released version.

If someone will upload the UK 1.6 someplace, I'll link to it in the second thread, but I've never seen a copy of the UK 1.6 version of VC.
And I'm MDT, so GMT -6... So its 1:35am here (and I'm heading to bed). But I made my goal of releasing this rom for the 4th of July. So my Fireworks for the Wizard community
Also screenshots have been uploaded to the first post, and the 2nd and 3rd posts have been updated with info...
Waiting for comments about the first splash screen... Finally did one that doesn't stink (IMO). I'm sure some won't care for it, but its fun for me (I'm a SciFi nut).

thats now killing me! Already on Release 2!! Nice work
Do I need to Flash back to official Rom from XDA 6 to get XDA 6 R2 working well? Not a problem if I have the time.
Will see the test soon

I could not get ROMUpdateUtility.exe to work with my phone. I used Shelltool and had no problems!
Looks good.

i used T-Mobile 2.19.11 UK Radio with 8125 (G4)...
do I need setup mfrazzz Cingular WM6 Radio Fix.cab ???

It transpires that this ROM was released just in time for for dotfred to release PimBackup v2.3.
...and for WiFiFoFum v2.2.12 to come out.

KKK that not fair!
ahh btw, mike i forgot to say, using shelltools to flash my device now take only 8-10 minutes to flash.
no more problem =]

Excellent job, mfrazzz. I have been running XM6 for a while now. I'll try XM62 and report back.

This is just great, for the first time in ages the flash completes in about 9 mins using shelltool. I personally had to change the 8 button touch comm manager for the same one again (sounds confusing) as the default one in this rom has cleartype enabled, and on some roms the same comm manager it's disabled, so i installed one again that has it disabled. Maybe there is an easier way to do it ?
I also had a few lockups while scrolling up and down in the programs section. So i removed the battery and it seems ok now.
Otherwise brill so far...

hmm, i had it lock up again in the programs section after trying shutdown, or display switch, one of those anyway. Also with the shutdown menu if you select shutdown it only turns off the display, so i don't think that works properly anyway. Finally if i turn off the phone it does'nt always start up correctly, it hangs half way through, so i have to reset it, then its ok again.
Maybe a few bugs, not sure ?

Crossbow Reloaded v1.7
Smooth and Stable WM6 Computing for the Wizard
The latest incarnation of the Crossbow Reloaded series is again based on the Faria WM6 ROM that was part of the Faria ROM Kitchen. I've continued to modify the base rom to adjust and update it and work out a few bugs / features, but its still the stable base that makes Crossbow Reloaded a dependable WM6 version for the Wizard devices. One of the major changes in the cooking process of this rom is the use of edhaas ROM Packer Kitchen. I highly recommend using the tools in this to gain extra room and to overall speed up how some things work.
Just like with the previous releases, please remember that this ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted with many inputs from users of 1.0 and 1.5, so no complaints about why does this rom have this in it, or why didn't you put this in there. If you don't like how this rom is spiced, then go grab the Faria ROM Kitchen and make your own version. I am open to ideas on how to improve the rom (most of the changes in this version are direct results of ideas and comments posted in the Crossbow Reloaded 1.5 thread).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to perform at a better than acceptable level for myself, and so far Battery life seems just as good as any other WM6 ROM I've tried. If you have Battery Drain issues, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. Also note that I've been running this version for days and have not even used overclocking and found it to perform very nicely (so Overclocking should work very nicely if you feel the need).
What's Different in V1.7 from V1.5?
Removed Transcriber (actually this wasn't in v1.5 or v1.0, but I just want to make it clear its not here either) (Can be added back via CAB)
Added VoIP (See next post for instructions to set this up)
HTC X-Button downgraded to v1.0 (The new 1.5 version has issues with impacting changes on the Today screen) and now turned on by default
Removed PocketXpdf and added Adobe Reader LE back
Added Mobile Justice (a security app that will send an SMS if an unauthorized SIM is placed in your phone)
Added SIP Config 2.0.1
Added StartClean
Added Pocket Screen Capture
Added HTC Audio Manager
Added CicleBT (Toggle BlueTooth on and off)
Added SynchroTIme
Removed default Calculator and Added 1-Calc to replace it
Removed GSFinder (use Total Commander instead)
Upgraded Total Commander to Beta 2.5
Upgraded WiFiFoFum to 2.2.9
Upgraded PIM Backup to 1.9
Upgraded to Office 2007
Numerous fixes and tweaks. Also compression of some large app files that now actually make them start faster!
New first and second splash screens
Windows Live Search searches via Google
Base ROM Information
This is my modified version of Faria's WM6 found in the Faria ROM Kitchen V2, so its a "fixed" version of Faria's "the real thing" release that was then made vanilla and that I've added packages back into, and changed/fixed/enhanced.
ROM Version: 2.18.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 02/14/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: Faria V5.0
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM.
In addition to the changes mentioned above for what is different, here is a list of the other added apps that were also in the 1.5 release:
TodayAgenda
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR
HTC X-Button 1.0 (turned on by default)
PIM Backup
Total Commander
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
mUn Keyboard Skin
WM5torage 1.73
dotFred TaskManager (with registry editor link)
BatteryStatus 1.04.202 Beta 3 Build 0195 (There are newer versions out now, but I had issues with battery drain and other problems so kept the same version as in the original release as it seemed to work the best for me)
Smartskey 0.56 (DPAD is set to 0 in the .ini so the up and down scrolling works in the Phone dialer as expected in WM6)
10 Button CommManager with Black theme
SQLCE
SIM Manager
WM5NewMenu
SMSDRFix
DotFred's SoftKeyAppletEx
DotFred's TaskManager (and registry editor)
WiFiFoFum
Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms and CID unlock, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
For Cingular users, I STRONGLY recommend you use the T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio. Newer Radio versions tend to have missed calls and SMS messages (just like with all other WM6 ROMs). G4 users, see the next post on flashing the Splash screens for a tip if you get errors trying to flash the 2.19 Radio ROM.
Credits
I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with Crossbow Reloaded 1.7:
Faria for providing both the base rom and the ROM Kitchen that I used to "cook" this ROM.
edhaas for porting and putting together the RomPacker Kitchen and the tools to squeeze / compress apps
Funman for putting together the fantastic PDF document on using the ROM Kitchen and for answering questions and fixing bugs in packages I hastily put together
ADB100 for finding and fixing some bugs in packages I worked on

Everyone that installed and gave feedback and support on the previous Crossbow Reloaded versions
Many others here at XDA-Developers.com that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together
A HUGE thanks goes to all the chefs that support our community!
Known Issues
After flashing, verify your phone keypad is there. If its not, you will need to try doing a "Clear Memory" or Hard Reset. If that doesn't work, then reflash the rom. I'm trying to find the cause of this now.
It has been found that this camera patch will help improve the camera app in lower light conditions.
Official Download Sites for Crossbow Reloaded v1.7
I'll update this list with mirrors as they become available
PLEASE READ THIS
There are known issues with this rom on SOME phones. The obvious issue is after flashing you will not have a phone keypad. Those using ShellTool are finding they have to flash their devices twice. Most missing the keypad can immediately reflash the rom a second time and then its fine. If you have issues, the look through the thread and see if its been reported already. I'm working on rebuilding this, but since its working for some people, I'm not pulling the links. Your decision to download and flash this rom is YOUR decision. If the rom causes you issues, you were warned and it was your decision. Don't PM me about issues.

Transcriber and more
The Black 3 Add-on CABs file has installable cabs for Transcriber, VoIP, Adobe Reader LE, and Windows Live & Messanger (slightly newer version than in Crossbow Reloaded v1.5). I've tested all of these on my Wizard and they work fine. Also included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested). Since Adobe Reader and VoIP are in 1.7 you won't need those, but for those wanting Transcriber, just run the cab on your phone and you can scribble away on your screen
VoIP Setup Instructions
Thanks to joaosousa for the following steps!
!!! Only Tested in a Wifi network !!!
Install the wm6voip.cab.
Restart your Wizard (Soft Reset).
Go to Start > Programs > Accessories and open SIPConfig Aplication.
Insert your VoIP account information. (See example below)
Restart your wizard (Soft Reset).
Now you should be able to use VoIP, check the status of the service in the today screen.
SIPConfig configuration (VoipBuster account):
Service name: Voip
SIP Server: sip.voipbuster.com
UserName: my_voipbuster_user_name
Password: my_voipbuster_user_password

Connecting WM6 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, I've attached a zip file with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup
More info to come, so check back here periodically!

Info on Included Apps
MobileJustice v0.8
MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).
For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).
The project page for MobileJustice is located at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/

Thanx will flash in a few hours

Could you give any info about available memory?

Hi and thank you! I've just flashed my QTek 9100 and everything is fine. Still can't activate VOIP from Comm manager even after configuring it with SIPConfig
But all other things are great!
Thank you again

Just flashed with the ROM. It looks nice so far. I haven't used Crossbow Reloaded before so I don't know the changes form earlier versions.
Here is a mirror for the people who dislike rapidshare like me Please do not share htis link outside these forums.

Just flashed it, awesome ROM! Good call on changing the BatteryStatus, I had major drain issues with the newest version, also.

mfrazzz said:
All... I'm going back and forth on a couple of things. I put Office 2007 in the latest build I'm running. I'll probably keep it in, but its huge compared to Office 2003 (another 2meg larger it appears). I thought with the latest RomPacker kitchen I could get Office 2K7 and PocketXpdf back in, but that just won't happen. If I go back to Office 2003 then I can get PocketXpdf (or maybe even AdobeReaderLE) back in the rom. Comments?

I second the vote:
I know it's a lot of work building these ROMS but a Office 2003 version would be nice. Would it be hard to replace 2007 with 2003? You have the ROM built and I'm not talking about building a new one just making a change to the ROM you have.
The Vanilla Rom that Faria built was in part to reduce the amount of memory used.
Just my 2 cents, but thanks for listening.
Thanks for all your work from us that haven't ventured into the Kitchen.

So far so good...
Voip calls will only work after installing the wm6VoIP.cab

I have also installed ptravelAlarm, this is a great app that can be used to set your own alarms.

Ugh! Thats what I get for putting this out so late last night... I took a bunch of screen captures, then realized I needed to change something so reflashed again and lost all of that. I can't flash to a clean rom at the moment to get new captures, but after the flash there was 28meg free Program memory.
I'll update the first post with captures in a few hours.
@farrusete - Yep, thats what I figured on VoIP. Sorry, but I just couldn't seem to get past that.
@Kage and Wizzzard - Thanks for the mirrors, but I won't put those in the first post as that post tends to be posted in other forums
@Eximius - I'll update your mirror in the first post shortly
@nfollmer - thanks, and yes, major issues for me with the newer BS versions (it would just disappear off the screen sometimes)
@Cing 8125 - I'll consider a Office 2003 release, but it isn't quite as easy as you think since I completely replaced it with 2007. Would have to have a seperate code line (with how I have it setup now).
@joaosousa - Are you saying you have VoiP working? If so, please let me know the details so I can update the 2nd post with info. Thanks!

Voip
Yes, i have VoIP working.
I have just installed the wm6voip.cab i have posted in my previous post and after a restart i configured the SIP service using the SIPConfig Tool.
The only problem is that the sound comes out from the side speakers and not from the "normal call" speaker. But this seams to be a problem that all wizard's rom's have.
In SIPConfig i used my VoipBuster account.
Service name: Voip
SIP Server: sip.voipbuster.com
UserName: my_voipbuster_user_name
Password: my_voipbuster_user_password

I will install later on this afternoon. I need something stable mine is always locking up on me and I lose messages.

Hows A2DP working on this one?

Faria said he will release a v3. Maybe that would be a good time to do it. That is if you do your build again then.

XDA Mobile 6 Release 4
Let's give thanks on Thanksgiving; Its a new XM6!
You can now cook your own version of this rom! Click Here!
XDA Mobile 6 Release 4 (XM6r4 for short) is the fourth version of the popular XM6 rom series for the Wizard. The base rom is the same, but with new features and fixes to a few bugs found in XM6r3.
XM6r4 is built on the OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01 rom that was provided to us by InGeNeTiCs from Howard Forums. While this is not the "newest" release of WM6, it is the last known release that was built for the Wizard (ie: its not a port from another HTC Device). Various pieces of the base rom have been upgraded, so some of it is stuff ported from other phones so that it can have newer functionality. Overall, I feel this base is very stable and fast and makes a great base to cook on.
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to very quick and responsive (especially with Overclocking with BatteryStatus), and so far Battery life has been very good for me and those beta testing this. If you have a Battery Drain issue, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. BatteryStatus is NOT included in this ROM. If you want to overclock or use other features of BatteryStatus, you are welcome to download and install the latest version of BatteryStatus yourself. I personally use it, and have OMAP set to 247MHz with CPUscalar set from 143 to 247 and Boost set to 260Mhz.
Base ROM Information
The base rom was an "Official" Wizard WM6 ROM that was part of the development cycle of WM6 inside of Microsoft (Dogfood as they call it). The base rom was not a port of another device rom with drivers and stuff pieced and parted onto this one, but this was an actual Wizard WM6.
Windows Mobile 6, OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01
ROM Version: 10.1.0.811 WWE
ROM Date: 08/11/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM included in this (so its G4 "safe").

Changing ringtone now stays changed when you leave the Phone app
Using press and hold on CommManager button toggles vibrate on and off, and phone does NOT stay stuck in vibrate / no ring mode
Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
D pad now works differently with PIE. Up and down presses on the D Pad stay the same, but pressing right jumps forward a page and pressing left jumps backwards a page. Makes going through websites easier (IMO).
Fixed the A2DP registry for sampling
Registry Entries for PIE Connections to speed page loading
Registry Entries to increase In Call Volume
Press Button 1 for messaging (like normal) or hold it a little longer and HTC Action will come up (via HButton)
WkTask setup to not show Phone and Activesync as running apps in task bar
QuickMenu enabled for nice drop down and cascading start menu
Touch Scroll only is active so use your finger to scroll in most places
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms, CID unlock your phone, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release or the Wizard Love ROM. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its NOT included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
Newer Radio ROMs on WM6 have had issues in the past (especially for Cingular / AT&T users). T-Mobile 2.19 (UK or NL versions) seems to be the most stable, but you can now run newer radios with the attached cab. This cab also works for some other providers but not for all, so its up to you to test what works for your phone.

Known Issues
When entering a contact in the "To:" field it does not link to the outlook contacts, it instead shows suggested words. You can tap the word "to" and it will go to the contact list no problem. Also, when trying to select a file to send no file names or pictures are displayed just empty square boxes, you can tap the box and it will go to the next sub folder, if it is a folder. There are no thumbnails or files listed so it is impossible to navigate to select a picture or video. Click Here to download patch
After the initial flash, some have reported that QuickMenu pops open the start menu when you are supposed to tap the screen to start the phone setup. Just wait a second or two and it will close by itself.
The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.

XM6r4 Addons and Information
Radio ROMs
Here are links to a few of the Radio ROMs that I've used with XM6r4. Remember that Radio's newer than the 2.19 radio may require the WM6 Fix CAB that is attached to the first post of this thread.
T-Mobile 2.19.11 UK
Cingular 2.25.11
2.61.11
2.69.11

How to not have a 24hour Clock (or how to show AM/PM)
This works on all WM6 roms
Go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings
Make sure you have the correct Region selected
Click on the Time tab
Click on the drop down box for Time Style
Notice the little up and down arrows? This is a scrolling region in this dropdown. Click the up arrow a couple of times and you'll find h:mm:ss tt
Thats it. Microsoft is amazing at having a 2 line scrolling region on this dropdown. You'd think they would have had at least 3 or 4 lines show up for chosing (and it would be more obvious that its a scrolling region then too).
GPRS / MMS Setups
First, here is The Ultimate Thread with people posting operator settings for about all providers! In the first post is a link to the thread where walshieau is creating an automated way of setting up all of these!
What follows is a list of automated and manual ways of setting up GPRS and MMS for various cell providers and regions that I've collected:
The cab file for Cingular users to setup GPRS and MMS - Click Here.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a thread by Lurch with 3 cabs for the various plans. Famewolf tested the 3rd one and it worked for him.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS by hand
Here's another link with cab files for T-Mobile US users:
MMS auto config t-mobile.cab (Thanks to marscandybars for posting this)
Here's the settings for the original (Pre-Cingular) AT&T Wireless (blue sim)
Rogers Canada CAB

VoIP Setup Instructions
Thanks to joaosousa for the following steps!
!!! Only Tested in a Wifi network !!!
Install the wm6voip.cab.
Restart your Wizard (Soft Reset).
Go to Start > Programs > Toobox and open Setup VoIp Aplication.
Insert your VoIP account information.
Restart your wizard (Soft Reset).
Now you should be able to use VoIP, check the status of the service in the today screen.

Connecting XM6r4 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, Click Here for the RUU with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this.
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link! You can also check this thread for another RUU that is in English and seems to work for most G4 users. Thanks Vippie!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup
Hermes Black Cabs that may be of Interest
Transcriber can be added back into XM6r4 by using the Black 3 Add-on CABs file. There may be others in it that may be of interest also for some. Included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested).
Turning off Word Auto Completion
Some people do not like how Windows Mobile tries to suggest words that you may be typing. If you are one of those people, jacob-mda wrote up a post on how to turn it off. Check out This Thread.
Auto Completion for Spanish
User peu found the file to change the auto completion of words to Spanish. You can check his post here for details and a link.
Skinning the Dialpad
You can find skins for this dialpad HERE. See image attached below for an example.

Or create your own skins by reading this: http://www.sto-helit.de/freeware/pocketpc/mortplayer/en/skinhelp.html
BatteryStatus (for Overclocking, CPUScalar, and much much more)
BatteryStatus is a very popular utility around here and for good reasons. Currently its in a beta phase and the author is releasing new versions of the beta constantly so I decided not to put it in the rom and let people install whatever build of it they want. Also, some versions of BatteryStatus have been known to cause excessive battery drain, so be aware of that too. You can find it in the Official BatteryStatus thread and if you do use it, feel free to give feedback on it in that thread as they are always looking for ways to improve it.
NOTE: If you do use overclocking, I recommend you use the OMAP Apps tab to setup Camera to be at 195Mhz as it can mess up the display if you are overclocked and doing the camera.

Included Apps Info
Info on Included Apps
FingerFriendlyFriends v1.0 Beta 2
For those wondering, PocketCM was replaced in XM6r4 for two reasons. First the author of PocketCM did not want it included in roms. Two, I like the FingerFriendlyFriends app (even though I hate the name )
Check out these images of it:
I would advise you to check out and participate in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340227&highlight=fingerfriendlyfriends if you like FingerFriendlyFriends. The official website is http://www.jotto.no/fff/ and has info on using and making the most of FFF
For those that don't want to run FFF and want the standard Conctact manager back you can do the following:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from "\Windows\PocketCM.exe" to :MSPOUTLOOK contacts.
Then if you want it back, you can change it back to \Windows\FingerFriendlyFriends.exe
Since FFF is in beta, if you need / want to upgrade, just drop the FingerFriendlyFriends.exe file in \Windows
SK tsync
Included in this rom is SK tsync, which will synchronize your phone to time servers. I've included in \Windows a special link called tsync silent.lnk . You can copy this link (with TotalCommander or use WinXplore) to your \Windows\Startup folder and it will allow your phone to sync its time after a reboot. Famewolf also wrote a Mortscript for easy install (since Mortscript is part of this rom). Click Here to download this script, then just place it on your phone and run it, and it will copy this shortcut to your Startup folder for you.
MobileJustice v0.8
MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).
For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).
The project page for MobileJustice is located at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/

Faria for providing the initial ROM Kitchen that got me cooking
anichillus for the fantastic Hyper Core ROM Kitchen which was exclusively used in the production of this ROM
Dr Puttingham for the guides, information he has provided to all of us
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz

Famewolf for constantly pointing me to new apps, new versions, and posts about features like BlueTooth DUN to add into the rom.
Those that took the time to help alpha and beta test XM6 Release 4 (Rudi, Peter, and Ben). We worked out a number of issues with a nice quick beta test (XM6r3 beta worked out most of the real bugs so this one was "easy" )!
Everyone that installed and gave feedback and support on the other XDA Mobile 6 threads
Everyone that I thanked in my other ROM releases!

I thought there were going to be door prizes...didn't we agree on door prizes? No mouse pad?
Great job once again mfrazzz on the rom!
^..^

congratulations..
This really is an excellent release Thank you, Mike, and happy Thanksgiving..
One remark though, for everyone who may see the QuickMenu popping up at the first boot after the flashing: You don't need to click anywhere to make QM disappear, it will hide itself after a few seconds and you can continue to the initial configuration of the Wizard.

Release 3 is one of the best roms, i was waiting for next version.
Thanks for this one, will flash it today.

Good job
Release 3 was one the most stable ROM for WIZARD, I have noticed so far.
Wish the same for release 4 too.
Thank you
Happy thanksgiving.

I'm curious, what happens to my apps installed on my storage memory? Will I have to reinstall everything? I'm uprading from Release 3.

If your apps require registry entries more than likely you will have to reinstall them..they may or may not keep your settings depending on whether the settings were kept in the file or in the registry. (usually the registry)...any documents or files stored on the card should be fine however.
Here is a mortscript which may be of use to people reinstalling...it's called Reload..I am not the original author..I just made a few changes.....these instructions are taken from the Readme.txt inside:
How to setup:
1)Extract Reload.zip to the root of your storage card.
2)Place cab files in the CabsAuto folder if you want to the cab to be automatically installed to the phone storage.
3)Place cab files in the CabsManual folder if you want to be able to choose where to install the cab.
4)Place file in the Backup.zip file that you want to be restored to root of phone.
ie. If you wanted example.jpg to be placed in the \Windows folder, place example.jpg in the Windows folder of the zip file.
5)Place file in the SDBackup.zip file that you want to be restored to Storage Card.
*Please note that the cabs files placed in the CabsAuto folder need to conform to only asking the user for the installation destination, then showing installation successful/unsuccessful. Otherwise you might encounter some problems. You should place cabs that don't conform in the CabsManual folder, or adjust these cabs with programs such as WinCE CAB Manager.
###############################################
How to use:
2)Execute Reload.mscr. This will initiate the script that will first install the CabsAuto, then CabsManual, restore the files in the Backup.zip file if it exists, and finally restore the files in the SDBackup.zip file if it exists..
###############################################
Please note that files in CabsAuto are cleared out as they are installed so you may want to have a "CabsAuto.save" you copy over before a Reload.

voice command
how can i get voicecommand to activate when i push the button on my headset. right now it just starts the phone app

WOW! - One Question
This looks like an amazing release. I haven't flashed my phone since TNT 4.0, but I am going to try this tomorrow night for sure. Just one question, does this have the fixes so that there are no problems with the missed call notifications when using GPRS or during another call?
Thanks a lot for your hard work again mfrazzz!

As stated this is mentioned as a known issue in the first post still. Never got from its right what the fix was (and may just be an issue with 318).

Awesome Job!
Once again, an awesome job mfrazzz. Keep it up. I have been using the XM6R3 until today.
An awesome collection of apps in this release.
Gobble, Gobble!!

The radio fix?
The Radio fix (XDA Cingular WM6 Radio Fix2.cab) ... has that already been applied and, if not, what does it fix exactly?

Which could be causing my problem? My girlfriend isn't getting my texts and she has verizon. Is it the 2.19 radio rom, this rom, or the T-mobile settings I chose?

XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 RC1
Christmas has come to the Wizard!
This is a Release Candidate! Click Here to dowload the Final version!
XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 (XM6r5 for short) is the fifth version (and most likely my last since I now have a Tilt/Kaiser phone) of the popular XM6 rom series for the Wizard. This ROM tries to bring the stability of XM6r3 to a rom similar to XM6r4 (which had a few issues).
XM6r5 is built on the OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01 rom that was provided to us by InGeNeTiCs from Howard Forums. While this is not the "newest" release of WM6, it is the last known release that was built for the Wizard (ie: its not a port from another HTC Device). Various pieces of the base rom have been upgraded, so some of it is stuff ported from other phones so that it can have newer functionality. Overall, I feel this base is very stable and fast and makes a great base to cook on.
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to very quick and responsive (especially with Overclocking with BatteryStatus), and so far Battery life has been very good for me and those beta testing this. If you have a Battery Drain issue, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. BatteryStatus is NOT included in this ROM. If you want to overclock or use other features of BatteryStatus, you are welcome to download and install the latest version of BatteryStatus yourself. I personally use it, and have OMAP set to 247MHz with CPUscalar set from 143 to 247 and Boost set to 260Mhz.
Base ROM Information
The base rom was an "Official" Wizard WM6 ROM that was part of the development cycle of WM6 inside of Microsoft (Dogfood as they call it). The base rom was not a port of another device rom with drivers and stuff pieced and parted onto this one, but this was an actual Wizard WM6.
Windows Mobile 6, OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01
ROM Version: 10.1.0.811 WWE
ROM Date: 08/11/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM included in this (so its G4 "safe").

Mods made in XM6r5
In addition to the apps listed above, the following fixes and mods were made to improve the user experience on XM6r5
Changing ringtone now stays changed when you leave the Phone app
Using press and hold on CommManager button toggles vibrate on and off, and phone does NOT stay stuck in vibrate / no ring mode
Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
D pad now works differently with PIE. Up and down presses on the D Pad stay the same, but pressing right jumps forward a page and pressing left jumps backwards a page. Makes going through websites easier (IMO).
Fixed the A2DP registry for sampling
Registry Entries for PIE Connections to speed page loading
Registry Entries to increase In Call Volume
Press Button 1 for messaging (like normal) or hold it a little longer and HTC Action will come up (via HButton)
WkTask setup to not show Phone and Activesync as running apps in task bar
QuickMenu enabled for nice drop down and cascading start menu
Touch Scroll only is active so use your finger to scroll in most places
Button 4 starts the WkTask Launcher by default. Press and hold Button 4 to start Voice Recorder app
ROM now remembers new words in custom dictionary
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms, CID unlock your phone, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release or the Wizard Love ROM. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its NOT included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
Newer Radio ROMs on WM6 have had issues in the past (especially for Cingular / AT&T users). T-Mobile 2.19 (UK or NL versions) seems to be the most stable, but you can now run newer radios with the attached cab. This cab also works for some other providers but not for all, so its up to you to test what works for your phone.

When entering a contact in the "To:" field it does not link to the outlook contacts, it instead shows suggested words. You can tap the word "to" and it will go to the contact list no problem.
After the initial flash, some have reported that QuickMenu pops open the start menu when you are supposed to tap the screen to start the phone setup. Just wait a second or two and it will close by itself. Or tap anywhere on the screen and it should close so you can begin the normal setup procedure.
The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.

First, here is The Ultimate Thread with people posting operator settings for about all providers! In the first post is a link to the thread where walshieau is creating an automated way of setting up all of these!
What follows is a list of automated and manual ways of setting up GPRS and MMS for various cell providers and regions that I've collected:
The cab file for Cingular users to setup GPRS and MMS - Click Here.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a thread by Lurch with 3 cabs for the various plans. Famewolf tested the 3rd one and it worked for him.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS by hand
Here's another link with cab files for T-Mobile US users:

Connecting XM6r4 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, Click Here for the RUU with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this.
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link! You can also check this thread for another RUU that is in English and seems to work for most G4 users. Thanks Vippie!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup
Hermes Black Cabs that may be of Interest
Transcriber can be added back into XM6r4 by using the Black 3 Add-on CABs file. There may be others in it that may be of interest also for some. Included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested).
Turning off Word Auto Completion
Some people do not like how Windows Mobile tries to suggest words that you may be typing. If you are one of those people, jacob-mda wrote up a post on how to turn it off. Check out This Thread.
Auto Completion for Spanish
User peu found the file to change the auto completion of words to Spanish. You can check his post here for details and a link.
Skinning the Dialpad
You can find skins for this dialpad HERE. See image attached below for an example.
Skinning MortPlayer
MortPlayer is very skinnable. Check out the qVista example attached below. You can find qVista here: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/them...rting-qvga-vga-landscape-portrait-square.html
More skins can be found here: http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=list&category=23
Or create your own skins by reading this: http://www.sto-helit.de/freeware/pocketpc/mortplayer/en/skinhelp.html
BatteryStatus (for Overclocking, CPUScalar, and much much more)
BatteryStatus is a very popular utility around here and for good reasons. Currently its in a beta phase and the author is releasing new versions of the beta constantly so I decided not to put it in the rom and let people install whatever build of it they want. Also, some versions of BatteryStatus have been known to cause excessive battery drain, so be aware of that too. You can find it in the Official BatteryStatus thread and if you do use it, feel free to give feedback on it in that thread as they are always looking for ways to improve it.
NOTE: If you do use overclocking, I recommend you use the OMAP Apps tab to setup Camera to be at 195Mhz as it can mess up the display if you are overclocked and doing the camera.
How to change Keyboard for other languages and layouts
This thread has information for changing the keyboard to work for other layouts.
.

Included Apps Info
Info on Included Apps
Keyboard Skins
I've included in the rom an application called Keyboard Skins that allows you to change the onscreen (SIP) keyboard colors. The app is in Start->Programs->System. There are 20 different keyboard skins you can choose from! Just choose from the list, and after the program ends you will need to do a soft reset to see the new skin. Enjoy!
WkTask
WkTask is a Task Manager that has a lot of functionality. Its small, quick, and powerful. You can find out more about it (including a video demo) by going here: http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
QuickMenu
Quick menu is enabled by default and gives the Start menu a drop down style. Use the QuickMenu settings (found under the Start Menu) to configure the options. More information can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358
Note: QuickMenu has task manager functionality (which is NOT enabled by default). If you don't want / need the features of WkTask, you could disable it, and enable the QuickMenu task manager instead. Do NOT enable QuickMenu's task manager features without disabling WkTask (or other Task Managers you may load) as they can conflict with each other and cause unpredictable results).
SK tsync
Included in this rom is SK tsync, which will synchronize your phone to time servers. I've included in \Windows a special link called tsync silent.lnk . You can copy this link (with TotalCommander or use WinXplore) to your \Windows\Startup folder and it will allow your phone to sync its time after a reboot. Famewolf also wrote a Mortscript for easy install (since Mortscript is part of this rom). Click Here to download this script, then just place it on your phone and run it, and it will copy this shortcut to your Startup folder for you.
MobileJustice v0.8
MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).
For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).
The project page for MobileJustice is located at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/

How to upgrade to Final without Reflashing
The info here is still beta as the final has not been released yet! But feel free to use the cab in the first post to apply fixes I've found before Final is released. The CAB and this information are subject to change until the Final version is officially released
If you want to upgrade to the Final version without having to Reflash, I'm providing a CAB to do this. The CAB is attached to the first post of this thread. Files installed by this are installed in storage memory and NOT in the ROM (you have to flash to put things in the ROM). You must choose to install this on your device and not on the storage card (It shouldn't ask you but if it does choose device) for this to work.
This cab does the following:
Updates PIM Backup to 2.7
Changes WkTask left and right setting so it doesn't hide VoiceMail (and similar) notification icon
removes the tools folder icon from the Windows folder
Changes the Wait Cursor to be the Touch one
Change Start->Settings->System->About to show XM6r5 instead of XM6r4
Fixes Smartdialing Options in the dialpad menu
Add default registry entries so when (if) BatteryStatus is installed, Phone and Camera are set to 195Mhz
You will need to soft reset after this install completes. You can see the new Wait Cursor when the today screen is first starting to load (or go to the CommManager and press a button like FlightMode or Wifi and you should see the WaitCursor spin).
BTW: Also remember since this is a cab install, you can remove it, and if you do a hard reset you will have to install this again.

Yeah I love major Holidays and tieing a ROM release to them (and I put XM6r2 out on last July 4th I believe, so thats 3 ). Unfortunately, I will be selling my 8125 (will go onto eBay this week) as I need to use the money for a bill. I was supposed to get an 8125 from a co-worker, but that appears now that it isn't going to happen.
To be honest, other than updates to built in software, there have not been major changes from r3 to r4, and now to r5. I don't care for the ported ROMs to the Wizard, so I feel I've went about as far as I could go with the 318 rom for now.
@musungus77 - In the Kaiser forums (and elsewhere) its claimed that on WM6 with .NET 2.0 removed (which I did) and .NET 3.5 installed, there is about a 20% increase in speed of .NET based apps (some claim overall ROM speed is better this way, but I'm not sure about that)
@ykktotal - I'll consider a Lite version, but after this full version has been tested more (remember this is a Release Candidate. There may be another RC or even a slightly different Final version of r5). I'll also look at releasing the Cooking Package kit also (like I did with r4) so people can cook it how they want it.

Look at the screen shots for r4. Basically the same. I'll do some screen captures shortly and post them.
BTW: In looking at the screen shots for r4, I just realized a "bug" in r5... I forgot to change the reg entry to indicate this is r5 (so it still shows XM6r4) .

thansk for this great rom mike!

XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL - Full / Lite
Happy New Year!
If you want to use XM6r5 as a base, check out the XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 Cooking Pack!
XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 (XM6r5 for short) is the fifth version (and most likely my last since I now have a Tilt/Kaiser phone) of the popular XM6 rom series for the Wizard. This ROM brings back the stability of XM6r3. There is a Full and Lite version. Also I'm releasing a cooking pack so you can build your own version of XM6r5.
XM6r5 is built on the OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01 rom that was provided to us by InGeNeTiCs from Howard Forums. While this is not the "newest" release of WM6, it is the last known release that was built for the Wizard (ie: its not a port from another HTC Device). Various pieces of the base rom have been upgraded, so some of it is stuff ported from other phones so that it can have newer functionality. Overall, I feel this base is very stable and fast and makes a great base to cook on.
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. If you have a Battery Drain issue, make sure you flash back to an official rom before you upgrade to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. If you want to overclock or use other features of BatteryStatus, you can download and install the latest version of BatteryStatus. I used it when I had my Wizard, and had OMAP set to 247MHz with CPUscalar set from 143 to 247 and Boost set to 260Mhz.
Base ROM Information
The base rom was an "Official" Wizard WM6 ROM that was part of the development cycle of WM6 inside of Microsoft (Dogfood as they call it). The base rom was not a port of another device rom with drivers and stuff pieced and parted onto this one, but this was an actual Wizard WM6.
Windows Mobile 6, OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01
ROM Version: 10.1.0.811 WWE
ROM Date: 08/11/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
PagePool: 6MB
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM included in this (so its G4 "safe").

REMOVED: Adobe Reader LE
REMOVED: Battery Gauge - WkTask now does this
REMOVED: SuperDoku v1.1 - Install via cab now
Mods made in XM6r5 (Lite and Full versions)
In addition to the apps listed above, the following fixes and mods were made to improve the user experience on XM6r5
Using press and hold on CommManager button toggles vibrate on and off, and phone does NOT stay stuck in vibrate / no ring mode
Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
D pad now works differently with PIE. Up and down presses on the D Pad stay the same, but pressing right jumps forward a page and pressing left jumps backwards a page. Makes going through websites easier (IMO).
Fixed the A2DP registry for sampling
Registry Entries for PIE Connections to speed page loading
Registry Entries to increase In Call Volume
Press Button 1 for messaging (like normal) or hold it a little longer and HTC Action will come up (via HButton)
WkTask setup to not show Phone and Activesync as running apps in task bar
QuickMenu enabled for nice drop down and cascading start menu
Touch Scroll only is active so use your finger to scroll in most places
Button 4 starts the WkTask Launcher by default. Press and hold Button 4 to start Voice Recorder app
ROM now remembers new words in custom dictionary
Fixes found in XM6r5 RC1 have also been implemented in this Final version.

Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms, CID unlock your phone, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release or the Wizard Love ROM. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its NOT included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
Newer Radio ROMs on WM6 have had issues in the past (especially for Cingular / AT&T users). T-Mobile 2.19 (UK or NL versions) seems to be the most stable, but you can now run newer radios with the attached cab. This cab also works for some other providers but not for all, so its up to you to test what works for your phone.

Known Issues
After the initial flash, some have reported that QuickMenu pops open the start menu when you are supposed to tap the screen to start the phone setup. Just wait a second or two and it will close by itself. Or tap anywhere on the screen and it should close so you can begin the normal setup procedure.
The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.
I inadvertently reintroduced the problem where when you go into the Settings->Phone that if you don't change your ringtone that the ringtone will revert to the default one. Also this causes switching the phone to Vibrate with the comm button to sometimes stick and stay on Vibrate even though the phone shows the ringtone should be on. Famewolf posted a mortscript for the fix in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=117. If you want to do it by hand, then just open the registry editor and navigate to HKLM\Security\System then remove the entire FDRM key.

How to Upgrade from RC1 to Final without reflashing
How To Upgrade to XM6r5 from XM6r5 RC1 without Flashing
If you are running XM6r5 RC1 and want to upgrade to the Final version without having to Reflash, I'm providing a CAB to do this. You will find the CAB attached to this post. Files installed by this are installed in storage memory and NOT in the ROM (you have to flash to put things in the ROM), so if you hard reset, you will have to reinstall this CAB. You must choose to install this on your device and not on the storage card (It shouldn't ask you but if it does choose device) for this to work.
This cab does the following:
Updates PIM Backup to 2.7
Changes WkTask left and right setting so it doesn't hide VoiceMail (and similar) notification icon
removes the tools folder icon from the Windows folder
Changes the Wait Cursor to be the Touch one
Change Start->Settings->System->About to show XM6r5 instead of XM6r4
Fixes Smartdialing Options in the dialpad menu
Add default registry entries so when (if) BatteryStatus is installed, Phone and Camera are set to 195Mhz
Make PocketRAR the default app for .zip files
You will need to soft reset after this install completes.

A Couple of Apps left out of XM6r5
Attached to this post are some cabs for apps that were left out of XM6r5 Final.
SuperDoku is a Sudoku game that I enjoy and I know others liked to play also.
TodayAgenda is a Today plugin to show your Tasks and Appotinments. Unfortunately in r4 and beta versions of r5, there was a bug when this was built into the rom so I opted to leave it out. You can just install the cab and you'll have TodayAgenda back and the options bug will not happen this way.
Marshall's Touch Wait Cursor was left out due to a space limitation. This changes the default WaitCursor (The red/green/yellow spinner) to a wait cursor like on the Touch phone.

For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).

Radio ROMs
Here are links to a few of the Radio ROMs that I've used with XM6r4. Remember that Radio's newer than the 2.19 radio may require the WM6 Fix CAB that is attached to the first post of this thread.
T-Mobile 2.19.11 UK
Cingular 2.25.11
2.61.11
2.69.11
Voice Command
MS Voice Command 1.6 US HERE and HERE and HERE
MS Voice Command 1.6 German HERE and HERE and HERE
MS Voice Command 1.6 FR HERE and HERE and HERE
MS Voice Command 1.6 UK HERE
MS Voice Command 1.5 UK HERE and HERE
How to not have a 24hour Clock (or how to show AM/PM)
This works on all WM6 roms
Go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings
Make sure you have the correct Region selected
Click on the Time tab
Click on the drop down box for Time Style
Notice the little up and down arrows? This is a scrolling region in this dropdown. Click the up arrow a couple of times and you'll find h:mm:ss tt
Thats it. Microsoft is amazing at having a 2 line scrolling region on this dropdown. You'd think they would have had at least 3 or 4 lines show up for chosing (and it would be more obvious that its a scrolling region then too).
GPRS / MMS Setups
First, here is The Ultimate Thread with people posting operator settings for about all providers! In the first post is a link to the thread where walshieau is creating an automated way of setting up all of these!
What follows is a list of automated and manual ways of setting up GPRS and MMS for various cell providers and regions that I've collected:

For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a thread by Lurch with 3 cabs for the various plans. Famewolf tested the 3rd one and it worked for him.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS by hand
Here's another link with cab files for T-Mobile US users:
MMS auto config t-mobile.cab (Thanks to marscandybars for posting this)
Here's the settings for the original (Pre-Cingular) AT&T Wireless (blue sim)

Connecting XM6r5 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, Click Here for the RUU with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this.
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link! You can also check this thread for another RUU that is in English and seems to work for most G4 users. Thanks Vippie!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup
Hermes Black Cabs that may be of Interest
Transcriber can be added back into XM6r4 by using the Black 3 Add-on CABs file. There may be others in it that may be of interest also for some. Included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested).
Turning off Word Auto Completion
Some people do not like how Windows Mobile tries to suggest words that you may be typing. If you are one of those people, jacob-mda wrote up a post on how to turn it off. Check out This Thread.
Auto Completion for Spanish
User peu found the file to change the auto completion of words to Spanish. You can check his post here for details and a link.

BatteryStatus (for Overclocking, CPUScalar, and much much more)
BatteryStatus is a very popular utility around here and for good reasons. Currently its in a beta phase and the author is releasing new versions of the beta constantly so I decided not to put it in the rom and let people install whatever build of it they want. Also, some versions of BatteryStatus have been known to cause excessive battery drain, so be aware of that too. You can find it in the Official BatteryStatus thread and if you do use it, feel free to give feedback on it in that thread as they are always looking for ways to improve it.
NOTE: If you do use overclocking, I recommend you use the OMAP Apps tab to setup Camera to be at 195Mhz as it can mess up the display if you are overclocked and doing the camera.

Upgrading and Patching XM6r5
Upgrading and Patching XM6r5
XM6r5.1 Patch (6-Jan-2007)
NOTE: To install this patch, you will need to turn off Smartskey first (or you will get an error about not enough permission to install this). To do this, go to Start -> Settings -> Smartskey . This should then ask you if you want to stop it from running, answer yes. Then you can install the CAB.
This patch does the following:
Change Settings -> System -> About screen to read XM6r5.1
Upgrade dotFred's TaskMgr to 2.9 and set it to not minimize to the systray by default
Downgrade Smartskey to .56 to fix some issues with volume control
Installs Camera Patches to reduce speckle and improve camera performance
Install Battery Saving fixes to help improve battery life on the device

Woo Hoo! Thanx Again
Downloading now...

downloading now. thanks. i'll let you know what happends. new years present came in early

I can't wait, flashing carrier rom as we speak. Then onto the new R5 I have been waiting for. Thanks for all your hard work. Will miss seeing new roms from you, but am happy with what you have given to the community.
Jeff

thanks again mfrazzz. Works like a champ
I already tried RC1, so I expected this to be fine.

works like a charm. thanks

It works great except that when I installed Voicecommand 1.6, I can't get it to work over a bluetooth headset. I tested this with two different headsets that worked for me under XM6r4, but now all I hear is the headset conencting and no Voicecommand prompt no matter how long I hold down the button (or if I try to press it more than once). I also looked at the registry settings based on what I know from searches and past experience with bluetooth and Voicecommand, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
EDIT: It looks like the problem was simpler than I thought. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Voicecommand a couple of times and on the last try, both bluetooth headsets now work fine with Voicecommand. There was no need for any registry edit after my last re-install.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I definetly tested out Voice Command (as thats what I use) and knew it worked for me. One thing to remember with Voice Command is after you install it, you have to do a soft reset. If you don't it will act weird and I believe connecting with BlueTooth properly is one of the issues I've seen.
Anyway, glad its working for you! Happy New Year!

thank you for your work

Mfrazzz, great work on this last rom. I really hope you stay with keeping your Wizard. Your work is the best. Happy New Year to ya

MMS "Error Synchronizing"
Has anyone ever figured out a reliable fix for the MMS "Error Synchronizing" problem? I've tried Manual settings, updateing ArcSoft, various cabs for the settings and I'm really starting to get frustrated here. I just flashed the new ROM, I almost didn't because of the nightmare I had getting MMS working again last time. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't.

for some reason does not let you use htc home plugin even installing .NET 2 wich is a req. for home plugin
