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

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.

Alex would you please tell me the new address of ronswens forum?
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?

seriously sandman,you are not helping!!! am sorry for ranting but like what the thread starter said NO NOOB posting!!! sheesh man!!! they are not "tweaking for performance" for crying out loud!!! they are cooking a wm6 rom!!!
How about we get the ROM fully functional BEFORE we start tweaking it

Thanks alot for that samyboy
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.
Phil
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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=310380
The latest ROM "wm6-for-tornado-perfect-english-edition-20070810" which can be found at CoolCode(click me) is Flawless!!!
All I had to do is add-on the "WM6GSMUPDATE" and the "t9 English". After that it was basically all about setting Reg to put Pocket IE and Email in Storage Card and Install all the apps I wanted.
You guys did a AMAZING JOB and I wanted to create a new thread so it gets attention. Thanks alot.
My SDA which I had running on the lastest ImateSP5m ROM actually runs MUCH smoother and less buggy.
And also Thanks alot to whoever is responsible for creating the "Extras" Zip file. The "SP5 keys" cab came in handy since I have SDA. Many other Cab came in handy too.
And thanks to the guy who created posted the T9 text cab (same as Imate ROM).
I will be donating to this site & to you guys.
Hi

Hum very good news Thx for all job and all cookers.
I also want to thank all the contributers. With Phil's Alpha we could see the light. I was planning to replace my SP5 and I started liking it again. With Andot's release most bugs were solved and many improvements were made. And now you are talking (duke_stix) about never build which seems fantastic already. Thanks again to all for the good job.
Go and spam andot's site Google ads link, you can contribute abit, have been spamming his ads on each visit, whenever there is a new build
I want to thanks to Andot, very very much !!! :x :x :x
@duke_stix - I had a go at porting the Vox XIP the other day, can't say it was wholly successful, phone froze on the splashscreen but at least it didnt go straight to the bootloader, means theres some hope of porting it

wow windows 6.5 is improving honey comb is cool now
Check out Uto's ROM for Kaiser. He got lot similar work done on Kaiser. Lets see how it comes in the end.
soon we will be looking for windows 7 screen shots
Meh, I think those honeycomb items are incredibly ugly! Can't really see an improvement, at least not over TF3D. The only thing I want is that all menu's / settings are thumb-friendly.
Thanks for sharing
i like the honeycomb i think you just have to get used to it
wm 2003 and 2003se and wn5 and wm6 and 6.1 where all based around the same so will windows 7 have the honeycomb
I just got a new sprint touch pro and i just wanna know what are the first and most important programs to get? im not new to xda developers as ive had a wizard and a titan before.

We love our WinMo, We hate our WinMo, We like our WinMo, We tweak our WinMo.. The story goes on. But ever thought to share it with rest of the world?
Here is a chance!
Tell us, what do you do with YOUR WinMo?
This thread will bring out some common 'cool', 'professional', 'productive' or 'fun' stuffs a WinMo can do..
It will help us discover some cool hints and tips other might be using to explore the maximum out of WinMo, in the times when some of the members in our forums have gone to an extent of calling 'WinMo - a dead OS'
Please comment along with your vote, as this will allow more 'sharing'!
For Mods: I have created this poll here and not in General, only because I thought, this will give an idea to Developers about the kind of apps/softwares, that are in demand and are being used. If you feel like it's in wrong place (I am sorry!), please feel free to move it to correct forum.
the thing i like about windows mobile is that i can use it without google watching my every move. i really like mymobiler i use it every day.

Um, Android.
I still have a old Touch and Wing lying around. Don't use them at all but I loved them back in the day especially the Wing. Remember when it felt cool to use a stylus? Miss the days when I started my first business and used my Wing in the subway to fill out invoices and update inventory on mobile Excel.

I am still in the days when I love using stylus from time to time
Although my TG01 lets me touch and use it, I sometimes just like to use stylus and the accuracy is still unbeatable with fingers!
