Attention, this ROM version is now deprecated, see this thread for Q-Mobile 1.2!
5.2.1948 Build 18548.0.7.0
And...without further ado. This should be the final revision of this ROM for a while. All bugs from 1.0 fixed with a couple more tweaks, etc. If you think you're missing something read these posts in full and you'll probably find it.
For AT&T Tilt users...I have had a few guinea pig volunteers I will be tapping later this week in an attempt to make a port for your network. Keep in mind this will be specifically for those users wanting to use radio 14.09 with an AT&T data service plan. If you have a tilt but are not an AT&T customer you should probably just use this ROM. See this thread for information on radios.
Tweaks/etc.
Don't forget to check out the Q-Mobile 1.1 Downloads section in the next post...I'm always updating it with pertinent information as people request features and/or find tweaks, bug fixes for certain configurations, etc.
Upgrade Directions
Install HardSPLv1 if you haven't already!
Flash this ROM.
After first boot, perform a HARD RESET. This is accomplished by holding both soft keys while pushing the reset. You will see a white screen asking you to press the send key to wipe your device; do this.
Why? Because it really *can* help make the ROM run like it should. I confirmed this with Spb Benchmark.
Does it make other ROMs run better too? Yes.
ChangeLog for 1.11
Sounds & Notifications are fixed!
- Sorry about this...there were some permissions issues which prevented them from being selectable. Already upgraded to 1.1 and installed files? No problem! Read this post to see alternative options or why it won't hurt to do a full backup and then restore after upgrading to 1.11 (from 1.1 only).
ChangeLog for 1.1
Email attachments fixed!
- Q-Mobile 1.0 had a bug where attachments in email wouldn't open until you saved them. This is now fixed!
.Net CF 3.5 Fixed!
- Added Net CF Config under Programs\System in case you have to run multiple versions. Almost all apps should work with 3.5 now, but if they don't you can install 2.0 SP2 from below and use this app to decide which runtime your app should use. Remember that 3.5 is a LOT faster so use it where possible!
SQL Server Compact 3.5 is fixed.
- Since only the server core has changed to 3.5 there should be no application incompatibility--but if you need an earlier version they should be able to work in tandem. No configurator is necessary as with .Net 3.5 above.
MS Office 2007 Uprage for File Formats
- Now you can open even more (unconverted) file types! (Think email attachments).
More GDI/Font Cache options in Kaiser Tweak! If you have a lot of graphics on your today screen you can now set the cache even larger than before!
- If you are having an issue with icons loading slowly you can also turn off the File System and/or File System Filter caches--this may help or it may not, experiment to see what works for your setup!
Equalizer 1.02 was removed.
- As pointed out it appears to work but doesn't really. If you think it was working for you check Dutty's cabs below and install it again!
More cleanup with regard to deprecated files.
- This includes the customer feedback application, more registry settings dealing with SQM, etc.
HTC Recorder tweak. (Directory default is now My Audio instead of My Voices).
Camera shutter sound is now off by default.
- This is an option available within the camera settings menu so feel free to turn it back on. I find the camera takes faster pictures with it off, not to mention it was annoying
Kaiser Tweak now has options for more storage card power management settings.
- The internal SD card is now linked to the next option (Pocket IE cache).
Kaiser Tweak has a new option for the Pocket IE cache location which can be changed to be on your storage card.
- Be aware that if you enable this, the power management for the internal SD card *must* be disabled (and it should do this automatically) because Pocket IE will hang the entire machine if it isn't.
Compact List of Features
TouchFLO (finger scrolling) *is* included. FTouchFLO/Cube is not.
.Net CF 3.5
Sql Server Compact 3.5
FULL Video Access (Full YouTube as well as the normal m.youtube.com)
Custom KaiserTweak for this ROM.
Arcsoft MMS 4.2.8.1
Esmertec Java 2007.08.02 (Opera Mini & Google App verified to work)
Microsoft Office 2007 (Updated with Nov 28th Extensions)
Microsoft One Note Mobile

I love your rom, but please leave the clear storage function in your next if it will be any next version It can´t take that much of resources to leave it because my Tytn II is really hard to make a hard reset, sometimes I have to press the f*cking button combination 30 times untill it makes as it should and it is so frustrating - I sometimes feel the urge to throw the bugger into the wall
Othervise I loved 1.0 so this could only be better
Is there a way to uninstall office and the coreplayer ???
I'm french and I prefere install a french office pearhaps without last update ...
I'm working for few days with the first version and I really think it's the best one... i'am glade to see this new version !!!
Go on man !!!!
Haven't tried your v1.0 but I think this is a good chance to test this your latest version! Looks very impressive based on compact feature set and the screenshots! Thanks.

Ok thanx ! I shall look in SK Tools, never thought of it
I've some .reg file to install but on this rom itsays me that : "there is no application associated with "my file.reg". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application"...
Why can't it write on my BDR ???
I haven't installed the ROM yet but you'd need a regeditor to be installed before you can run/associate .reg files... PHM reg editor and Schap's reg editor are some good free ones...Schap's Advanced Config utility is then a good tool to use to associate your reg editor to the file.
Dear Quentin,
Could you specify if the bug "when one turns on vibrate only, and the vibration never stops with incoming calls?" is solved also with this ROM? Thanks a lot!

Won't Cook!
Apparently when I tried cooking using this rom, then flash it, I'm stucked at the "smart mobilty" screen. I'm using KitchenROM 0.3, and I added the HTC Task Manger and Network Wizard. Any ideas?
I found one bug that is bugging me Can´t change the sounds for incoming sms and mail. The list with sounds is just emtpy even though the wav and wma files are in the windows directory. Only me getting this?

Very good ROM
I have to admit that after flashing all ROMs in this forum this is the most responsive one. It has exactly what I need.
The only thing I noticed that is not working properly is the shortcut on HTC Home for the backlight.
Is it possible to fix it?

For my 1,000th post to XDA-Developers.com, I present to you:
Crossbow Reloaded v1.5
A Faria ROM Kitchen Production by mfrazzz
This version fixes issues that were found with the first release of Crossbow Reloaded, and adds new features. Just like with the first release, please remember that this ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted, 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 original release thread).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional 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 Life issues, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that will correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. Also note that I've been running this version for about 24 hours and have not even used overclocking and found it to perform very nicely (so Overclocking should work very nicely).
What's Different in V1.5 from V1.0?
Removed Transcriber (actually this wasn't in v1.0 but I just want to make it clear its not here either) (Can be added back via CAB)
Removed VoIP (can be added back via CAB)
Removed Voice Command (Can be added back via CAB)
Removed HTC Zip (Pocket RAR does zip and works better IMO)
Removed PHM Registry Editor
Added SQLCE
SIM Manager upgraded to v6.1
HTC X-Button upgraded to v1.5 and now turned on by default
Added WM5NewMenu
Added SMSDRFix
Added DotFred's SoftKeyAppletEx
Added WiFiFoFum
Replaced Adobe Reader LE with PocketXpdf (smaller, lighter, and works as well in my tests. If you really want Adobe Reader LE it can be added back via CAB file)
Fixed Regional Settings to default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds now work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button now 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)
Added 3 themes (.tsk) and 3 Ringtones from what was in the 1.0 release
Base ROM Information
This is straight out of 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 1.0 release:
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR
HTC X-Button (turned on by default)
PIM Backup
Total Commander
GSFinder
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 well)
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
New welcomehead.96.png (3rd splash screen) to match first two splash screens of the rom
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 can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
Use BatteryStatus (its included in the rom!) to overclock (I use 260MHz), and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus to set a min of 143MHz and a Boost of 273MHz.
For Cingular users, I 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 v1.5:
Faria for providing both the base rom and the ROM Kitchen that I used to "cook" this ROM.
Funman for his 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
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
Everyone that installed and gave feedback and support on the original Crossbow Reloaded version
Many others here at XDA-Developers.com that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together
While I'm releasing this, I fully realize this is really just a repackaging of the Faria Vanilla ROM that is included in Faria's ROM Kitchen. Other than a couple of slight modifications, I don't take credit for a full "cooking" (although this one is more customized than the first release). This is more like taking a pre-packaged dinner, and adding the spices and herbs that I wanted for my taste buds. Believe me, this was not that hard to do, and I did not spend the countless hours that full blown chefs spend in providing amazing base roms. So a HUGE thanks goes to the REAL chefs that support our community!

"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

Flashing this ROM doesn't work with Vista while T-Mobile's Original ROM just works fine..... It gives an MFC error,neither yours nor Core 2.0 works with Vista...am I missing something?
hooray...?
i just got the last version all customified, now i gotta flash the new one!!
keep up the great work!
All installed nicely. This ROM appears very quick and comprehensive enough for me. Thank you mfrazz.
I had to be quick to stop all the T-mobile extended rom installing, after following your advice and sticking a stock ROM on 1st. Funny thing is though ExtROM is listed as faria V5.0 but it definately contains stock T-mobile cabs etc.
Thanks once again
MMS included?
Hey mfrazzz - did you include all of the Cingular network settings? Figured I'd ask ya, since you were going for a "complete" rom.

I didn't check before I installed the Cingular CAB, but I don't think so - it may not make T-Mobile users very happy!

Nope, its service provider generic. I just updated the 2nd post with lots of add ons (Cingular and T-Mo US settings have info there).
BTW: Unless there is some huge issue, I think this will be it for Crossbow Reloaded, until the new Faria ROM Kitchen V3 comes out. This one has felt really solid to me (at least for what I use my phone for. I'm sure others out there will find stuff I missed in areas I don't touch ).

Yeah, pretty much the same with me. Just had the V1.0 version really humming and started work on putting together all of the fixes and changes I wanted to do to make this one. I've flashed more in the last 3 or 4 days than I think I've flashed since getting addicted in January.

Yeah, I abort the T-Mo extended rom running too (and you do have to be quick). Yeah, the Faria "Extended ROM' is really in the \Windows area (as I understand it) and not really a true extended rom (at least when I cook this I'm not putting anything in the extended rom). So yes, its expected you will see the official rom's cab files still sitting happily in the Extended ROM.
Great rom.
Awesome mrfrazzz....just awesome!! Keep up the great work, Crossbow Reloaded works great for my needs.
Thank you so much!
Thanks guys. Hoping someone can do a review of this rom for me after they've played with it for a bit. I'm seeing lots of downloads for it on rapidshare (and trying to get some alternative download sites for it going). I'd just like to get some feedback on it.
I have to say I'm really happy with how this one turned out. So far its been nice, quick, and stable and I still haven't overclocked my phone yet as it seems to perform nicely at the default 195MHz for me (I'll look at overclocking it again, but just haven't felt the need yet).
I hop this release will fix my odd problem i had with first release.
after my battery was completely empty i charged it, phone worked, after few minuts it just jammed and i needed to do a hardreset.
Anyway thnx for this 1 and ill post 2 HTTP mirrors when i have some time to upload them, think somewhere in the morning.
My first ROM
Thanks so much mfrazz and everyone, this was my first ROM for my Dopod 838 and I've had this thing for a year now. Never bothered to play around with it and was never really happy about its functionality until now... its ridiculous how much better it is compared to the manufacturer ROM.
Just so many lil things are better. Working great for me. Thanks a bunch!

Kudos to you for the hard work in prepping this ROM. I've always appreciated (and been a fan of) your patience and professionalism! Now you have taken the plunge into cooking. Congrats!
I am currently using Faria's RT and am seriously considering your Reloaded version as permanent replacement, but I have three issues that I am wondering if this ROM version addresses. These seem to affect all WM6 Roms for the Wizard and I'm curious to know if this ROM corrects them.
1. GPRS data connection fails to re-connect when recovering from a low-signal situation.
2. Device does not vibrate upon receipt of a new email message when it is in sleep mode and the ringer is set to vibrate.
3. Meeting requests sent via the device's invite attendees function do not display the correct date in the recipient's Outlook. They show only the date of creation/modification and not the actual date when the event is to occur.
On another note, have you found a way to send contacts and calendar items via email as opposed to MMS or SMS? I know about the workaround that involves initiating a send via MMS, aborting, and then sending the created file manually via email. Is this still the only way?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Awsome release I just wish it was more vanilla..this is the closest I can get to a GOOD rom with out all the extra apps. thanks again
Thanks!! looks like some good work cant wait to try it out!!!...as soon as I replace the power supply in my box....lol
3rd Party Apps?
I'm seriously considering this a my next flashing project (I run many 3rd party apps and it's always a pain to switch ROMs).
I remember when people were first releasing WM6 Wizard ROMs there was a lot of discussion about 3rd party apps not working. Is it still only a small subset of apps that work or can I expect most applications to now work fine?
While I wasn't planning on doing any more releases, I really like this build, so I wanted to get it out for others to try. I put it together to test some A2DP function, but it turned out pretty sweet.
This one is right outta the original InGeNeTiCs 318 rom base dump, using the Core Kitchen extraction and the Ingenetics based kitchen. It contains the latest Office and Live, as well as the fixes related to this rom version, including:

Thoughts/FAQ:
Q: Why not add the latest Touch software?
A: The today plugin is slow, and after the novelty wears off, it would be nice to be able to remove it. The dialpad installs easier via the cab.
Q: What is the page pool size?
A: 10 meg (A0)
Q: Will you offer other configurations?
A: Not sure, but if this is a super smooth release, I might if requested.
Q: Why are you using this build rather than the "newer" release from mUn?
A: I couldn't get it stable enough, and didn't have the time to spend debugging symptoms. I still like it, but this one is super smooth.

Office is compressed. If you have a test file, I'd be happy to check it. I have a copy of it uncompressed, but had never heard of any issues.

Thanks for that link. Sure enough, it does't open.
I created a 97-2003 compatible file (I use 2007) and it didn't work either.
I created a 2007 file, and it opened fine. I wonder, has it ever worked in compatibility mode, even uncompressed? There's probably a dll or two involved if so.

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

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/

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.

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.

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).

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)...

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!

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
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
abenk for providing the new Crossbow Reloaded logo
ANTC for ideas and inspiration on parts of this release
Those that took the time to help beta test this version in its early stages
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
This didn't work? Then please check this thread:

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

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.
FeedBack
So far so good...
Voip calls will only work after installing the wm6VoIP.cab
You can download it from here.
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?

This is the FINAL Final Angel
http://rapidshare.com/files/244647384/Final_Final_Angel_nk.nbf
I have been able to put in everything that used to be in Angel.
M2D and M2DC are there.
It has BT_SAP, ActiveSync Killer, PIM Backup, RC Mod, etc.
It has the OperaMini that states it is the final version.
Added BT icon that S.V.I posted.
Also, added mortscript to do some of the changes I did to get things to fit. You'll need a pdf reader to read mortscript's instructions. I could not fit it in.
Everything is back to standard settings. No attempt at BigStorage - has all the Trueffs settings back in place.
Here is the Final Kitchen
http://rapidshare.com/files/251189409/Final_Final_Angel_Kitchen.rar
You can change what you want. It is in my current formatting. The current state of packages is a clean angel as opposed to a nekid angel some are asking for.
Hello all,
As you know, I no longer have a WIZARD. The USB no longer wanted to connect to my computer and I could no longer flash my phone. So For My b-day I got a kaiser (you know, the one with the missing drivers) and gave my wizard to ... now she is my EX GF. I did get to play with it though just before we broke up and realized that I am really going to miss my wizard because it outperforms my Kaiser by a long shot. might not have all the ram I need, but at least it is much more stable and much more responsive.... anyway, I am done lamenting.
BUMMER because I was almost ready to release the final Angel rom for everyone with a new Manila and an EN/RU stock keyboard... a fed updated exe's and Dll's and so on and so fourth.
So rather than just dropping the whole project of making a last super stable and super fast 6.1 rom; I decided that it would be a good idea to upload my work in progress for anyone that wished to take this thing and make them selves a rom that would be usefull for them as well as take some of my packages (with compressed and simple image files for better performance) and make use of them.
RORYB decided to make a finished version. All I can say is that I wish I could flash it just to see. He has been helping me make my roms better since the (was it hornet or brighrom??) lets just say a long while; and knows how I work. I trust that with his input on Angel 5 is a HUGE improvement.
So as of post 390, this is his baby.
Thank you all,
Svi

The "Connection Setup" has a provision file (zip) that is password protected. the whole cab is 1.5 mb. Twice the size of the "Network Wizard" that is installed in to this rom. If you could save the registry settings for your network (and others) I will gladly put them into a CAB that you can install during UC customizations. I understand how important it is to be able to connect to GPRS and MMS; however that package is as big as the keyboard in my signature... I would rather include that into the rom before anything else. I hope that you understand. I also tried to use the package from OPAL, which is a little bit smaller, but it would not load for some reason.

SVI:
I'm pleased to see that you fixed your MDA and that cornelha's toolkit is working for you.
Do you have any thoughts as to differences between 20931 and 20273? I assume that there are many undocumented bug fixes and optimizations, but have you actually observed anything?
I will flash ANGEL at some point, and I'll try to remember to do some before-and-after benchmarking (from HORNET Manilla 3.8) to see for myself.
Just curious.
SP1 is uploaded!!! Please install the update!

When you do the benchmarks let me know the results. It is deffinately a higher build, and it seems faster. The rom is not the HORNET as I started almost from scratch after pillaging Cornelha's rom for packages. It behaves differently...

I put the image association back to album because I like the way it handles viewing pictures. But that is why we all tweak to our own flavors.

I just noticed Wireless LAN settings does not show my connection, but Configure Wireless Networks does show I am connected. This could be because I did not update to [01] version.
I won't be able to do that until next week.
Manilla 2D landscape?
Thanks for the ROM S.V.I! I love your ROMs, more than the TNT series
I recently tried your Manilla 2D Beta 4.5 ROM, and this ROM, and I'm facing a small problem with them, Manilla 2D doesn't work in landscape mode
Every time I go landscape, either it flips back to portrait, or it doesn't resize well to the new position, so, I was wondering, is it a Manilla bug? and is there some work around for it? I really love landscape mode
