Know issues and recommendations;
No performance tweaks needed in my opinion
I recommend over clocking the rom [battery-status] to 247 MHz instead of applying performance tweaks ,performance tweaks take away ram…….were over clocking comes at very little loss of battery especially if you use the auto scale function.
THIS rom has no parts from any current wm6 rom,this is a real WWE wizard rom ,all the parts needed to make it as a full rom were sourced from my 3.3.
Battery status cannot be configured from today options control panel…….but you can configure it by pressing and holding the battery icon in battery-status today plug in.
the rom may be bit slower because i did not applied any performance tweaks....plus the rom is fully loaded so we cant compare to other roms.....i mean this roms has everything working.....its like comparing a loaded truck to an empty one..
the device may crash when it reboots for the first time at the welcome screen if you don't tap it straight away....just reset the device with the stylus and it will be fine. this is because there is apps loading in the background.
a vanilha version will be released soon.
many thanks to mamaich BEPE AND dr.P FOR ALL THE Support and all the authors/xda of the freware apps.... a specialy.....my wife that lend her wizard to me in order to finish this rom,and for putting up with the many hours i ignored her.....

The ROM image doesn't really care whether you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista. Without knowing the details, I'm guessing that the problems you're having have to do with the new security "features" of Windows Vista.
What you'll need to do is once you've downloaded the ROM image to a location on your local hard drive, right-click on the file and select "Run as Administrator". You will be prompted to "Allow" or "Cancel", select "Allow" and you should be OK from that point forward.

Not really, the problem I had was , it started to upgrade and when the phone restarted and the rainbow appeared the connection was lost between PC and phone.
I hope I was able to explain it correctly.

Thanks Faria for your reply.
Am I allowed a joke?
It could be a bit scary to see a new rom published and read the following in your signature:

The issue you are havings is a known issue. The flash utility looks for ActiveSync, and since Vista does not use ActiveSync but its own mess, you wont be able to flash with Vista.

Can anyone provide a mirror link?

Ok before Faria gets slammed with posts about the flash freezing at 99%.... this is normal. All ROM's (Even releases by HTC or your carrier) have a point when it looks frozen but its not.
Also one thing I have seen is that people expect these things to be perfect OOB (out of box), this is never the case. There will always be a few little kinks and if you read the forum you will either find the answer in this post or another. So read before you post.
On another note, faria I love this release. So far no issues seen, but i will run the phone hardcore as i usually do to see if there are any issues. Thanks again for all your hardwork in putting this release out.

Some people who where trying to update to WM6 on Smartphones like Dash had a problem with "Invalid Code ID"... (me as well).
The procedure to solve the prob was to use the "Unlocker" program provided by some companies, disconnect cable when it asked for a file, close the program and continue to flash with "modded files" (the modded files were specific to the "vendor ID" prob).
Whe you run the unlocker, ActiveSync disconnects, at least looks so.
In this case my "noobish" mind could think the unlocker is actually handling by itself the connection... In this case, using this procedure, it should be possible to run the upgrade even from Vista.
On the other hand, the unlocker might just disconnect ActiveSync but still be using MS drivers, which are probably different in Vista.
Maybe I'm not used to think and I'm just saying nonsense.

net via AS (wm6)

i haven't been able to get the net via active sync after switching to wm6. every single rom. is it possible? whats the deal? i'm using the same settings that worked for me before.

yeah, I know what you mean.
seems like Wm6 acts differently from Wm5, surfing and updating weather and news rss only works with wifi and your cell phone internet provider. But not with your pc internet, been trying to adapt to this change, unless someone knows how to change it's setting to be like wm5

Why is this a problem. I only plug in my PDA's to flash new roms on them. If I am at my computer what is the point of surfing the net on the PDA? I actually like this better because the PDA does what it normally does when not plugged in. This is better than WM5. Setting up Exchange 2007 tomorrow. Can't wait to use the new WM6/exchange 2007 features of wireless active sync, bye bye 2003.

Good point! Sorry, Have we determined that it is actually a WM6 problem or is it Active Sync 4.5?

This has been a known problem since AS 4.2 (or 4.1, i forget). Try modifying the following registry setting (on you PC):
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

When i flashed wm6 i had to do the above reg setting again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271119
That was the problem i had, sorry if its not what your looking for.

Mine works ... I am using mUn 's aRTM
That's not important dough.
In Settings/Connections/USB to PC , disable it.
That does the trick for me. It's possible a need for soft reset
Set your Connections to My Work Network
And in Active Sync in PC , at Connection Setings , select This Computer is conected to "Internet"
That should do the trick
Good Luck

I'm using RUU_mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE ROM and I don't have problem surfing the net with my laptop. I used active sync 4.5.
Hope it'll help ...

This has been a problem with me with every version of Wm6. I have to go into the network settings and swap all the settings and then go back and change everything back to "work"...Its a very annoying problem.

You don't need a cab for this since this registry setting is for your PC, not your phone. Just copy and paste it into a txt file and save it and rename it .reg and execute it.

WM6 Windows Update - files & settings required?

Now I know Windows Update on WM6 doesn't work for the Wizard - It connects to the m$ update site but doesn't find any updates. I tested this previously with the MB ROM and used a sniffer to see what was going on and it does indeed connect to the windows update site using HTTP.
In Faria's WM6 ROM he has removed Windows Update by physically removing some files from the ROM and deleting some registry settings as well as commenting out a line in the 'initflashfiles.dat' file. I have attempted to re-add Windows Update to his ROM with some sucess, however I am not quite there yet....
I have restored 'autoupdate.exe' and 'AutoUpdateRes_wpc.exe.0409.mui' as well as a registry setting [HKLM\System\Autoupdate] and it's settings and uncommented the line in the 'initflashfiles.dat' file to add the shortcut back. Now Windows Update is available and when I open it it opens OK but fails to connect when I select update now. It then sort of hangs and can only be closed using Task Manager or similar.
Are there any other files or settings that need restoring to get this back. I understand it doesn't work but my curiosity is getting the better of me
Thanks
Andy

I thought I read (maybe here) that when someone did the update, they actually had a theme file that was available and it downloaded that.

No packets sent?
I have been playing around with the Windows Update application and it starts fine. If I select 'Check Now' it immediately comes back with the Error screen telling me 'connection to update server was not available....'. If I click OK and then attempt to end the application it just stays on the screen and the only way to stop it is to use Task Manager and terminate the process
I have also put a sniffer on the port my Wireless AP connects to and cannot see the Wizard transmit anything when I click select 'Update Now' (I have verified I can access the internet with IE and I can see this OK with the sniffer).
Does anyone know what I am missing to at least get the Autoupdate.exe application to attempt to connect as it did with the MB ROM?
Thanks
Andy

Anyone
Can I bump this up as I want to get this working and re-added to my ROM (I know it doesn't actually work but I would like the functionality restored anyway).
I have restored the files:
autoupdate.lnk
autoupdate.exe
AutoUpdateRes_wpc.exe.0409.mui
Added the registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Autoupdate]
"DetectionCookie"="0"
"IntervalEndTime"=dword:f0
"IntervalStartTime"=dword:3c
"OmaDmSessionTimeout"=dword:258
"NextRunNormalInterval"=dword:93a80
"Automatic"=dword:0
"OTA"=dword:0
And restored the line to the initflashfiles.dat:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Windows Update.lnk","\Windows\autoupdate.lnk")
There must be something else I am missing as it never attempts to connect and hangs when trying to exit the application. I restored the files from the MB ROM to Faria's ROM as he didn't include the originals.
Thanks
Andy

I would very cautious about re-adding windows update to a beta evaluation ROM (all our WM6 roms are!!!!).
It will do no good, only harm, I think, since Windows Update as well as a few other components in these beta WM6 are actually there only to call home and manage the beta evaluation.
My position of this is that you want to remove as much as possible all these pieces of software, essentially to avoid the call-home feature and the ROM expiration process, without breaking the ROM, of course.
So, I recomment to leave Windows Update out, SQM and other modules, ceipui, the remote provisioning mechanisms, etc. I've already talked about this in diffent threads, but I'll try to post a summary of my findings in the short future.
Regards,
--eluth.

I understand and accept the implications but I would prefer it if this was restored to my ROM.
I am just after some help as to what I am missing to restore this functionality
I have listed what files and settings I have restored but AutoUpdate is obviously missing something based on it's behaviour.
Anyone?

Anyone?
Anyone know what I am missing? Surely some of the cookers on here who have removed the Windows Update from their ROMs know what they removed?
That's all I am after; not too big a task I assume?
Andy

ADB100,
I could not tell you what is missing, but I do know that it is enabled in mUn's ROM. Because I did the same as you. Hooked it up to a sniffer and looked at the packet exchange between my Wizard and the MS update site..

It's enabled in the original Orwells, the MB Edition, mUn's and Faria's Vanilla WM6.
However I still can't find what I am missing to get it back in my re-heat of Faria's latest 'Real Thing'.....
Andy

you are missing SQM .
ps;
there is WM6 ROM for a windows ppc that has time bomb....plus microsoft can expire your rom by update if they want.... the update feature uses .pkg and this settings will stay after hard reset.... so they can use it for any means,and so can anyone that can compile 1 of those packages. just to let you know.

hi, anibody have this files:

I don't have it handy, but go find the original Ingenetics dump that was posted here (do a search) and I know it has those files in it.

Andy,
The original dump by Ingenetics was pulled a few days after he posted it. But I think this link has it. Good luck on your quest.

Synchronize WM6.1 device with Lotus Notes

How to synchronize WM6.1 device with Lotus notes?
I tried Laplink PDAsync 4.1.1033 and XTNDConnect PC 6.5.9033 but I always get message:
Synchronization Failed: 17.11.2008 22:05:41
Error 1004: Unable to connect to device. Verify that ActiveSync is running.
Both programs worked with WM6.0.
Any solution?

I am using the IBM Lotus EasySync Pro which is working finw with my HTC Touch and WM 6.1 . I have tried a few different firmware versions w/o problems. Dow this is not a freeware application.

well I use Laplink with a 6.1 flashed i780, so thats not the problem.
do you have the laplink cab installed on the device?
can you access the device by means of active sync?

@Eriksm
Which version of IBM Lotus EasySync Pro do you use?
@bommel0815
I have laplink cab installed on the device, and I can sync with Outlook 2007 w/o problem. Which version of Laplink do you use?

"unable to connect to device"
I have same problem,
with my Diamond EasySync works perfectly but with Touch HD just "unable to connect to device".
I found somethink with security model for PDA devices I tried to set "security off" with "Security Configuration Manager" but still nothing, it doesnt want to work ....
I somebody can help ...

Do you have "Enable advanced network functionality" turned off? You can found this at settings\connections\USB to PC

I have turned off faster data synchronization and nothing again ...

PDA Sync 4 and Notes 6.5
it even works nicely with my new Xperia.
have you installed the CAB file on the device? the Sync Software.WM5.CAB?
you can find it in the laplink installation directory and you need this to sync.

There is no more problems with XTNDConnect v7.0. Thanks for your help anyway.

\\windows\101\xcpcsyncsvr.exe : error 2
I tried XTNDConnect V7.0, however when I first run it and it attempts to instal to the device (must be the device and not storage card) it chucks up the error "\\windows\101\xcpcsyncsvr.exe : error 2" that it can't see the .exe. I have checked in the win 101 folder and the file is there; there is also a file XcpcApiMgr.dll.
I checked on the Sybase WS http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1054315 and point 6. advises that
"This issue is being reported with certain models of HTC-built Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 Smartphones. It is caused by a certain type of security these devices have, which prevents the XTNDConnect PC CAB file from being installed properly on the device."
and instructs to download a security manager.zip from their FTP (this is a broken link and I have had no reply from them as yet).
and if this does not work to
"If you are still unable to install the XCPC CAB file onto your Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 Smartphone it may be necessary to follow the manual unlock instructions from the link below."
I also checked in the reg as they advise but the security setting "tier 1" on the device is already as they specify.
Can any one help me please?

I'm using mNotes from Commontime. Tried a few other apps but like mNotes the best. Does over the air sync and never have to worry about connecting my phone. A little pricey at regular price, but not bad when it goes on sale.

WM6.1 and PDAsync 4 - missing CAB
I have Laplink's pdasync 4 trial installed, but don't seem to have the CAB file on my htc diamond. Any advise how to get it is much appreciated!

Had the same problem with my Touch HD (worked occassionally, getting worse over time - EasySync 4.6, Notes 7).
I switched to CommonTime mNotes Desktop - works perfect (not free and if there is anything to mourn, it's that they only offer subscriptions - that means annual fees...).

EasySync Pro 4.2.6 Install Solved!
I've had various issues reinstalling DeLorme and EasySync on my WM 6.1 Fuze, but this time, after the June ROM Official upgrade, it fails continuously with the \Windows\211\XCPCSyncSvr.exe Fails, Err 2. I performed a hard reset, started ActiveSync (From XP Pro SP3) but did NOT configure it, only set it up as Guest file access. Launched the EasySync exe, and when the program sync message came up, clicked on both DeLorme and EasySync Pro. Loaded up like a champ on the Fuze this time. Now I'm going back and setting up ActiveSync and EasySync configurations.
Whew!

Hi !
I just got an HTC Touch HD and I have the same problem with XTND Connect...
It worked with my old Touch Cruise. Well it almost worked because Notes is really a piece of s**t ! It worked on single way sync (from pda to pc). In dual way sync I had troubles, Notes having difficulties to treat the periodical items from the pda...
With the HD it works first time, and after you get an error popup at startup and while trying to synchronize... And then no way to reinstall correctly XTND on the pda...
Anyone has the solution, I'm interested !
I can't use any other software on my pc cause it's my profesionnal one and it's locked up from everywhere...!

Task Manager doesn't show ActiveSync

On my Hermes I used to be able to kill activesync with the task manager. With the new Topaz, task manager never displays activesync.
How can I get it to show activesync so I can kill the process without a soft-reset?
For what it's worth, the reason I need to kill activesync is because of a bug in the way it handles DNS. If I plug my phone into my desktop then it switches to the USB connection for activesync and correctly detects that the IP address for my exchange server is different (ie it's an internal IP). Unfortunately, when I disconnect from my desktop it never seems to realise this and continues to try and use that internal IP (or atleast that's what I think is happening). Killing both Messaging and Activesync solves the problem and I've been using this for nearly a year with the Hermes but I can't do it with the Topaz.
My Hermes was running a cooked wm6.1 ROM while my Topaz is currently running the stock HTC wm6.1 rom.
Cheers,
James

All stock ROMS have this behavour. If you know how to HARD-SPL and then flash another ROM I would suggest using the Topaz Essential ROM (it is the most stockish, stable and fast ROM I used) and after that using the fake server method for activesync.
Good luck and tell us what it worked for you!

no need to flash rom there is simple solution:
in HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
written all proccesses that task manager don't show, delete what you want to be shown and soft reset.
activesync proccess is replog.exe

Thanks Shumilica,
I wondered if it was a stock ROM related issue, but I figured that if the cooked ROM's could work around it then there must be a registry key or something that would allow me to do the same. I'm sure I'll end up installing a cooked ROM, as I have on my last 2 HTC phones, but since the phone is literally brand new I'm getting used to the stock ROM before I start messing with it.
I'll let you know how I go. BTW, I assume the fake server option is no use to me since I USE an Exchange Server and have it regularly syncing?
Cheers,
James

no need to flash rom there is simple solution:
in HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
written all proccesses that task manager don't show, delete what you want to be shown and soft reset.
activesync proccess is replog.exe

Thanks bnm7bnm,
That did the job perfectly. I couldn't find this solution with search so hopefully the title helps someone else now.
Thanks again,
James

title definitely did the trick as I just found this easily
In my case on the touch pro, the stock ROM i had was showing activesync in the HTC task manager, but after flashing Energy 6.5 ROM on there ActiveSync was not being shown. I like to use the TaskManager to switch to it so i can see the synchronise progress etc and was easily able to find this thread and make the registry tweak

I use CleanRam, and you can clean (stop) hidden programs using the Custom process function.
