Windows Mobile Crossbow Most Beautiful Edition

Hi, new version is out.
You search it on the site ..... pp arez..

Hmm, a Most Beautiful Rom that was posted by a user named .biz. I just may have to check this one out. It also seems very similar to another rom I saw lately, although that one was AKU 3.3.

do you know if have voice command work properly? i like very much the function that read the sms

Guys....
I just received an email with a link to the topic, but I "officially" tell you all that I have nothing to do with it!!
I just released an AKU3.3 Rom and I really don't have the time to work on 2 Roms at the same time
And if I would release a real Crossbow Rom I certainly wouldn't do it with a nickname .Biz

Molski, have you had a chance to try this new ROM out? I've been using your ROMs for the past couple months and always had a great experience with them. Recently I got an itch to try a WM6 and haven't been 100% happy yet. Just curious to see if you have test driven this one and whether it had your stamp of approval as compared to the other WM6 versions available.
Curious minds wanna know =D.
Thanks in advance.

6mb page pool
I thought it wasn't possible to change that. Are we sure this is wm6 -- Sorry for the post I had a blonde moment

I have tried this and find it as good as the 3.3 Molski released today (also must give credit to Faria for his 3.3 work). In fact alot of this is very similiar.
I just personally want to thank you to the mystery person who didnt want to take the credit for his work! Thank you. wink!

That's a "standard" pagepool size that comes with the leaked version. No change has been done.

Working great, just installed on a locked g4 dutch T-mobile, with ShellTool.

Is it coocked Crossbow?
there are rumors going on in that forum that it might not be a real crossbow but AKU3.3. Can anyone confirm?

The Official WM6 Thread

Ok guys, so WM6 on Tornado exists (currently running on my device as we speak). But there are quite a few things we need to sort out before it can be released 'En Masse' Before this time I will ignore ALL PMs asking for the ROM.
There is a WM6 comments/suggestion/speculation thread HERE. Feel free to put in requests for embedded apps etc, but please realise we won't be able to put in EVERYTHING. So when the ROM is at a more completed stage we will draw up a shortlist for the apps etc to be embedded and let you vote it out
Current Issues:
Still has identifying build numbers etc to my source
Doesn't sync at all with a PC but will sync over exchange
It says WM5 with MSFP when its really WM6 (OS 5.2.xxx)
No Camera
No MMS
Issues fixed:
Wifi not accessable - new comm manager
No Office (fixed with a cab)
No t9 - updated to xT9 with 14 languages (fixed with a cab)
WLM is still beta and so needs removing and then updating (fixed with WLM RTM cab)
Things we need from a Tornado WM5 ROM
Camera.exe with all the mui extensions
Lets keep this thread clean, ok? I don't want sh!t loads of n00bs saying "where can I download ROM?". So, before you ask, here's my answer. YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT UNTIL ITS FINISHED!!!!
If a mod could remove such posts i'd be forever grateful
Please only post if you have information regarding how to fix the issues I've outlined above.
Phil

So... i am Alex from ronswens forum. i promise to fix that if you give me the rom and you can contact me via ICQ .. we need at least 3 tests - first, we upgrade xip, then new os build and then fix the camera...

T9 now fixed, office added, WLM fixed
Phil

@sp3dev, unfortunatley i dont have ICQ, do you have an MSN email address?
Phil

isnt there someone already working on this?
guy called duke_stiks
anyway good luck with the developing and fixing of this.

I think this is the sort of n00b-ish comment jm012a9749's trying to avoid in this thread.
I mean, honestly, do you think he believes he's the only one to have attained a tornado version? Come on...
Look, this guy is aware of Duke's efforts, heck we all are, but the more people who get involved, the more efficiently we can get a polished product. There's no guarantee that Duke nor jm012a9749 will be able to do anything, so why should any of us sit back and not get involved? Besides, Duke himself has mentioned that he needs help since he's not an experienced Rom cooker.
Sorry for the rant here, but this sort of attitude really bothers me. Saying "oh, someone's already doing that, sit back and don't waste your time" is why certain projects never see the light of day...
Please only post helpful information or questions!

you can fix activesync by replacing the usbfn.dll file.

as usual, ronswens.jconserv.net. as for active sync, i remember those early builds missed actsync.dll.. but better give me the rom, i will use build 17xxx from excalibur and drivers, camera, t9 etc from wm5

Exactly, since day 1 I've been working with duke_stix to help get a working version of crossbow. However now that I've made some progress and actually HAVE a device myself to test on, I felt it was nessary to start a new thread dedicated to it rather than the old dump rom thread
@faria, will try this later, thanks for the advice
Phil

More info on the missing USB sync... under connections, 'USB isnt listed.
Idea's?

Camera Software
Hi, I found this camera software. Its the one they using in WM6 i think. (Its kinda like the one on my Vox) Im using it on my tronado, and it works with some cert fixes.
Hope this helps

will you be tweaking the rom for speed/performace on the tornado?

Looks like were getting there with regards to functionality
Also does anybody have the Arcsoft MMS client? I've been searching for a while now but no dice. Also could do with the default windows task manager as well.

Stuff
Maybe you can find some useful stuff here:
http://218.93.115.138/d900/

You can have the WIFI option appear on its current Comm Manager thru Registry.. i have tried it and it worked.. but anyway, glad the new Comm Manager worked also..

The new comm manager also has flight mode, beam and IP Phone buttons on it
Phil

I don't know if we have the same build or version jm012a9749 but the following bugs are present on mine..
"BETA" text on the homescreen
FIX:
HKLM - Software - Miscrosoft - Shell
DELETE - "DeviceBETA" key
You can't open the Sound in Settings (Settings - Sounds)
Culprit could be the file soundsgsm.cpl.xml on /windows/ directory
I just got my new Tornado again awhile ago, and hoping that i could help this team in any way..

WAP configuration cabs

If you have one, can I get a copy of the cab you use to update your WAP settings for your individual carrier? I already have the Cingular one, but others like T-Mobile and such.
I'm working on an extended rom building tool, and need some "sample" setups to work with.

thanks mfrazzz - I hadn't noticed that! I'm still stalled on the true definition of the extended ROM vs the 'psudo' extended rom and how they utilize ROM space. I took a few days off and want to get this nailed down.
Thanks again!

Faria's Operator Config software
Hi all,
This is exactly the software I was talking about in post #3 of the post install script thread...
As Faria is going to be unavailable on the forums for a while, I've taken the liberty of PM'ing Dr Puttingham to see if we need (and ask for) Faria's permission to use his operator config wizardry...
If Faria will let us use his stuff, I've already extracted the relevant Extended ROM and have to say, it's really rather clever.

I have an error about not signed with a trusted certificate, when i run the .cab with the greek operators. Is there any solution?
Sorry for the oftopic

Are you trying to run the operator config CAB from a running PPC, or from the Extended ROM after a flash? Whichever, you might find that running this first helps... (or it might not)

Hey, leave the guy alone. Any member of our online society can contribute by doing what it knows better. There's a jester in every kingdom! Human stupidity sometimes can be really helpful, for example it uncovered a lost thread about Network Wizard.
By the way, what's that Network Wizard you're asking for? I've never heard of it!

@NitroGenious
thanks responding. I read in the Htc's WM6 documentation. Its meant for Carrier settings.

Did you try this little app I've posted last week? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340586

@Nitrogenious
I just tried yours and it works fine. Attached is the original package from Htc which works to a certain extend. I have to tweak by 'hand' some parameters to make mms/gprs to work.
Using the relevant carrier settings from your cab, I copied to my DataConnection cab. It works without any 'hand' tweaking necessary.
To use my cab, extract to main memory and run from there.
Thanks a lot.

Ask the Chefs (Post your cooking questions here)

With the release of various new kitchens for the Herald/Wing, I'm sure there are going to be many newbie cooks with many newbie questions. I'm creating this thread as a place to ask our remaining Chefs questions in a central location to avoid them being bombarded in the various other threads. I define a "Chef" as those cooks who have released many flavors of ROMs, so presumably they know what they are doing, and thay are still cooking for the herald/wing... aka Ivanmmj, Ace10134, Apreichner, IllConcepts, etc. No disrespect intended to those great cooks who have released ROMs in the past, but have gone on to other projects, aka toadlife, ttran001, itje, Papamopps, Dutty, ICP, KidnamedAlbert, ginolin, and others... if you are still around, feel free to participate.
Please limit your questions to issues with ROM COOKING. Take a look at Ace's Guide to Cooking before asking. Then if all else fails... ASK THE CHEF.
Please state which kitchen you are using, which WinMo build, and as much detail as possible. If you get the answer, please update your post so that it is not answered multiple times.

Reserved for later

Reserved for even later

I'll answer
And you've got my GUIDE.
Please link that in the first post, since that'll eliminate a large percentage of questions!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541504

Ok... I guess I'll ask the first question. I asked this in Ivan's SuperJustKitchen thread because it happened with his kitchen, but I'll ask it here for all the other roaming chefs and WinMo experts.
I cooked a spanish Rom for wm6.5 23016, using the default setting and adding a few items like voice command and .NETCF 3.7. The build was successful as well as the flash. Everything looks OK except that CABs wont install and Themes will not apply.
Ivan says he's looking into it, but I know he's busy. IllConcepts says he encountered this in one of his ROM builds but did not say how he resolved it. I would like to investigate the cause myself, but I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone tell me which program actually does the install of CAB files (when double clicked) so I can verify the file association in registry for CAB files. Also, how exactly are themes applied when clicked in the Today settings panel.

I haven't spent a lot of time on SJK yet. But when i tried it i couldn't install cabs or get an internet connections. Ivan can best answer that since its his Kitchen.

The CAB issue is only on the 6.5 builds and I'm looking for a fix right now.
The internet connection is because you didn't install and run Network Wizard. I'm going to guess that you use T-mobile. It seems that only T-mobile users run into the "problem" of the internet connection not working. (I think the average tmobile user is used to having a phone that is FROM tmobile and therefore already preconfigured by tmobile.)

lol ya the network config wizard was the cab I tried to install. Once the cab thing is worked out it will be easy sailing!

That would be cool! I am not 100% sure that it was the network setup i needed. When i would go to Setting/Connections/Connections there was nothing at all. Usually there is an "Add a new modem connection, Set up proxy, etc" But it was completely blank Except for the word connections on top. Usually on "Herald" roms on my wing i can manually do the wap.voicestream and be fine. I could be wrong however.... i am very new at this.

I recently installed the Rom for original windows mobile 6 from this site...I don't knw whether it is windows mobile 6 but it is working very well and I like it but there is a problem..the camera does not become bright like it used to when opened and the screen remains black..when press the capture button it shows an error...I have an htc tytn

Well we can't help you if we don't know what ROM you're using. You should really know which ROM you downloaded. But it sounds like you're using an outdated ROM anyways. Get a newer WinMo 6.1 or 6.5 one, they all work fine.
And, this isn't the place for asking that question, anyways. This thread is for asking the chefs on how to cook, not personal issues with ROM's.
