Useful Information
I'm having so many email's and PM's to provide the info for building the ROM using Flashdisk (FD) and I thought I would provide some general info so that it would help our friends to get at least the preliminary questions answered.
What is Flash disk (FD)?
FD is the additional space usually un-utilized in the ROM (nk.nba). FD has no effect to the space allocated for regular storage (36 - 40 MB). Having FD means, your net storage is: Regular storage + FD. i.e. 40 + 15 = 55 MB.
How to make FD working?
Anyway, my (v7.x) ROM has a 15 MB FD; if you look on the nk.nba then you should find it the offset between 03060000 - 03EFFFFF.
There is a 512 bytes MBR starting from the beginning and then the FAT table. This is just like a physical disk and formatted using regular FAT12 ensuring the device compatibility issue. You need to be bit careful during the ROM building process. Overwriting/overlapping can damage the MBR/FAT header and disk won't be recognized by the OS. The best or easiest idea is to verify the mentioned offset by a hex editor before the ROM getting encoded or flashed.
03060000h: EB 3C 90 4D 53 44 4F 53 35 2E 30 00 02 08 02 00 ; ë<MSDOS5.0.....
03060010h: 02 00 02 00 75 F8 0B 00 3F 00 FF 00 00 83 01 00 ; ....uø..?.ÿ..ƒ.
...
...
...
03EFFFF0h: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ; ................
XIP of this ROM is very important or you may completely loose the FD functionality. Last but not least, most of the (OEM) drivers of this ROM are inter-dependant and exchanging may cause an unstable or non-functional ROM. You need to be careful during exchange.
Please note that, I have a few PM’s that the Hypercore kitchen is somehow unable to handle the FD but I don’t know why as I don’t use this kitchen so I’m sorry to answer.
How to configure MMS?
Create a blank MMS and tap on Menu, Options>Message Options>Servers. Now, tap on New and you can enter the servers parameters here.
Why I can't receive files over BT?
Tap on Start and then Settings>Connections>Beam, check on "Receive all incomming beams". Now, open BT setting under Comm Manager and enable file sharing under FTP tab. I hope you would be able to send/receive files over BT. But please note that, BT Explorer may not work on some cases so the best possible option is to send the files directly from other (paired) device and you should find the files under "\My Documents".
How to RESET / SUSPEND device?
Tap or Tap+Hold on the top-right of the today bar and then Functions>Reboot ...
Best of luck.
ENJOY!!!

Yep! It works very well indeed, About 39mb storage and 20mb programs. it all works very well, no hangups up to now!
Jay
sms/mms
very cool image, no hang up yet
very fast
PERFECT!!!!!
but
it would be nice, if sms/mms have separate folders! (i try to install arcsoft composer again)
after softreset, programhistory won't be cleared, is there any way to change this?
How much ram avilable on 64mb devices after reboot?
This the best ROM version or 128 MB Universal...
Congratulation!
Excusi me, I do not speak on behalf, ot englis...
Well done Ranju. Whilst I have not done any significant testing on this ROM, I trust it's just as fast as your previous ROMs.
One thing worries me though. I noticed that the Potocol Version is still 42.42.P8 and the ExtROM version is still 1.30.162 WWE and conseqyuently installing the Old O2 programs like "Active " and "HotSpots Directory".
Available free Program memory is down to 25.75MB. Is there a way I can Erase the ExtROM and re-flash this ROM?
Thx for this release.
Almost got my 1st heartache. flash error at 99%, 1st time!!!!
2nd try worked OK.
I changed SD drivers, to use my old SD.
1st try didn't work. Reverted to SDHC drivers, and SD didn't work after sleep ( that's normal ).
Switched back to SD again and on the 2nd try, worked ok. SD works after sleep.
As usual I will decode the ROM to learn a bit more.
DFT was also nice, but the ROM structure isn't the best. Lots of files and apps in OEMAPPS, which makes customize a hard job.
I was surprised by some apps in extended rom. Opera is not launching.
GSM is not default mode. It is set to auto.
Tomorrow I'll post more information about the ROM experience.

Interestingly, I got the failure at 99% first time, and it worked second time around.
I've had a single hang so far, but that could be down to the default overclocking. I've switched that off for now, so that should give a better indication of the general stability. So far though, it looks great, although I prefer SMS and MMS to be in separate folders.
The reworked IE for VGA is better than the version (in my opinion) than in the DarkForce release, and the "bug" listed that zoom in the context menu doesn't work, seems to work fine for me.
[Bug Report]
One issue I've noticed is that the width of the editors in Pocket Outlook (in common with a few other ROMs I've tried) seems to be a little bit too wide, and this causes a horizontal scrollbar to appear unnecessarily.
Cheers,
Steve.
Only 21 mb free after soft reset??
Day 1 Report
After 16 hours of use, no problems and no crashes/freezes... 1st time syncing is much much faster...
Good job,
Just highlight a few points of improvement.
1. Set the all SDHC block transfer rate to 64kbyte as it will give better and balanced performanced in TCPMP (played 1.5 hours DVD resolution movie, never paused at all) Windows Media Player...
2. Set the performance overclocking to 520MHz to better stability. Power users can manually set it to 624MHz
Cheers,
Will have more to report soon.

NOTE: The installs have been digitally signed for your confidence and safety!
(Digital Serial Number: ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How-To Verify a digitally signed file against a known serial number
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1
Download the file you wish for your device.
(i.e. "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.zip")
Step 2
Unzip the download.
(double-click the ".zip" file and then click on "Extract all files")
Step 3
Open the directory that you un-zipped the download to.
(i.e. folder "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship")
Step 4
Locate the InstallSheild setup program in the ROM folder, then right-click it and choose "Properties".
(i.e. "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.exe")
Step 5
Once the file properties is open select the "Digital Signatures" tab, then in the "Signature List" double-click the "HTCCertificates signing authority" signature.
Step 6
Once the "Digital Signature Details" is open select the "Advanced" tab then compare the "Serial number" with the known one.
(My S/N: “ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61”)
Step 7 (Results)
If the serial numbers match then rest easy because you are using a "TRUE" Jwrightmcps ROM that has not been altered and is virus-free.
If the serial number does not match then it is not my original work and should not be used!
NOTE: I did this is case these files make it onto other sites, it will give you guys a way to tell if it is really mine or not. I will always use this serial number (ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61) from now on to sign all my work, so please make note of it!
woohoo. Will be testing this asap
Hallo,
yesterday I changed to 2.02.00 and while having breakfast I see your new version.
Funny: I immediately changed from Virtual Earth to Google Maps.
Today I will update to your new version (downloading now) - should be easy because now I still remember all tricks to make my german MDA Pro work again
thx
good job
I have found a partial fix for the mem-leak that doesnt screw up ROM's, when i get back this evening ill try adding it to this rom and post the result.
Seriously impressed ...
Wow Jwrightmcps !!! You've outdone yourself this time. OS seems to be stable so far, phone app hasn't crashed all day , no random soft resets, password lockout solved woohoo !!!, no more memory leaks, accelerated 3D VGA graphics performance (FPSEce 54fps) :-D, and last but not least a faster start menu.
All in all, I'd say this build deserves a 9.5/10. The only remaining issue is the video call option that's been missing in all wm2006 Universal builds. Hope this gets solved soon
Thanks Jwrightmcps for an amazing job
THank you Jwright. Will be testing it soon.
Working Good so far.Tks -J.
Downloading now and will install when I get back from work. Good to see you have included 1.15 Radio as I found it greatly improved my M5000's performance. Oh and thanks for listening to people and putting google maps on.
Finished. No problems, very fast. Now I can go to work
Thx again

as it stands .. This ROM has memory leak ... imho diversion became even more than in 2.02.00 ..
Midget_1990 all hope for you
Bluetooth went off in 20 minutes! Memory down to 25 mb after a single call! Voicecommand, activesync, and all plugins disabled. Nothing installed. I'm back to Jwrightecps aku 3.2. Thanks anyway for your generous effort. No hope for 1.91.02?
How much of free program memory after soft reset is there?
lol of the world ...this rom set a new memory leak Record .. After 30 minutes of intense work has flowed 15 megabytes of memory
Memory Leak.
Hi all,
Can I first say THANKS for the great WM6 ROM.
But the only issue I have is the memory leak and was wondering does anyone have any solutions.
Also I have tried a video call and IT WORKS!!!
I just make the call from my O2 XDA Exec (With Vodafone Ireland 3G Sim) to another Vodafone Ireland 3G video phone and it works perfectly.
So not sure why people say it does not work for them.
So any updates on the memory leak problem would be welcome, once I get that sorted I think we have a 99.999% perfect ROM release.
Thanks,
Mark aka IrishLad
just flatly refused to boot ... hung in the windows mobile screen. helped HARDRESET

How to build:
Step-1: Download and unrar the ROM_DEV_2.rar. It should look like "C:\ROM_DEV" after the unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-2: Download the desired OEM's and the empty ExtROM (if you need it)
Step-3: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
Step-4: Copy the OEM's to OEM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\OEM\) and empty ExtROM to ExtROM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\ExtROM\)
Step-5: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom
Step-5.1: Click on Start in "BuildOS" and close the dialog when done.
Step-5.2: Encode the rom, click on Encode, select the project file, Encode and exit the dialog. It may complain you that the file is too large....just ignore it.
Step-5.3: Set your device to bootloader mode, connect the USB cable and start burning...
You can use BuildKitchen.cmd to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmdfile to build your own kitchen.

Hope the exam went well, you must have unlimited grps?
Good luck with uploading again; lock the little devil up for a few hours!

ranju can u plz make a oem pack for IM 4.35 for me
i tried doing it on my own but its very complicated .. please
and i wanted to know if the following oems will work with your kitchen
"Index of /Uni/Kitchens/helmi_c/Kitchen_OEM"
rapidshared:
--- Links removed ---
New RealVGA ROM Based on Ranju and Darkforce's 6.1 Roms
THING_V4.1 (WM6.1 19188)
Fixed in V41
- Flashdisk 15mb - works only on G4 (ironic eh?)
- Fixed BT Pairing - my Jabra 320S actully works for once
-- if it doesn't pair first time, reboot and try again
- Fixed Skype
- New SDBUS.DLL to hopefully improve SD card support
- USB sharing of SD cards is now fixed using a modified version of Ranju's SD card driver
Base Rom NBA file - using Ranju's V7.1
- Pagepool 5.2mb, default timeslice 1ms
- using this rom as a base causes Notes sync to work perfectly, I don't know why
- Flashdisk 15mb on G3 and G4
OS
- Darkforce V1, massively modified
- Catalog, customer feedback, welcome center, fwupdate, entertainment (games), transcriber and loads more pointless junk removed
- Many OS DLL, CPL, EXE and MUI files are now modules including powerpoint, word, excel, onenote, windows live
- IE homepage set to "about:blank". saves time and RAM every time you run IE
Drivers
- a mixture of Ranju's, JWright's and my own favourites
OEM
- modified camera OEM from Ranju 7.1
- - removed unnecessary DLLs
- - made the EXE non-modular as it's unloaded from RAM on exit anyway
- - general tidy up (initflashfiles recreated, shortcuts organised a bit)
- Storage settings supporting SDHC (default), SD and USB conectivity
- - If your card does not work on first boot, switch drivers and reboot
- - If it still doesn't work, switch back and reboot again
- - I've tried 5 cards, 2 SD, 2 SDHC and 1 miniSDHC in adaptor. All worked using this switch-reboot-switch-reboot process
- My own OEMApps collection, very small with good support for 192, 128 and 96 DPI
- RealVGA (as always)
- STK (my one with low mem footprint and now with nice icons too)
- Schap's Advance Config and VOIP Settings tools
- Jwright's Network Plugin and Network Wizard OEMs
- Performance App (over/underclock - defaults to 520mhz, no over/underclocking)
- Pimbackup 2.8 by DotFred
- Laurentuis26's pocket notepad
- GSPlayer by GreenSoftware
- ArcsoftMMS (partly modularised)
- Pocket RAR by Rarlab
- VijayCandellaLite by Vijay555
- TotalCommander2 by Christian Ghisler
- XPDF
- Today screen is kept minimal to save RAM. The standard plugins are included and can be enabled on the "settings->today" menu
- TCPMP0.81 by Coreplayer team - modified to use some plugins lifted from VTAP
- - libmad.plg replaces mp3.plg for better MP3 decoding
- - new MPEG4.plg decoder
- - general tidyup of other plugins
- - frequently-used plugins (mpeg4, ac3, mp3, intel PXA renderer etc) are now modules
- Like the SYS section, the OEM section is almost totally modular
- - OEM EXEs are not modular as they will not fit in VM
- - Some DLLs are not modules, again due to limited VM space
Notes
- RGUs have been removed from this ROM. I know this annoys rom-cookers, but it makes the ROM smaller and faster for users.
- To make up for this, I've released the exact kitchen used to build this ROM, with all the RGUs intact.
Thanks
- It should be obvious by now that I owe a lot of thanks to Ranju for his recent 7.1 release
- Just to repeat, the Base nk.nba, some drivers and the updated Camera OEM in this rom are all based on his ROM and Ranju deserves credit for that work.
- The Darkforce team deserve huge applause for their work on getting a functional 6.1 running on the Uni.
- The SYS section of this ROM is a heavily optimised version of DFT V1's SYS.
- Thanks to the developers in the "Developing and Hacking" forum, Schap, Dotfred, Vijay555 and the rest of the gang
- My fellow ROM-cooks, Laurentius26, Beasty, Ranju, Midget1990, JWrightcmps, Mo3ulla and all for sharing their work with the community
- The users who eagerly test our work and keep us pushing forward
- The ops and moderators of XDA-developers.com
- The gods - bepe and mamaich, in a class of their own
- Anyone I've forgotten - not intentional I'm just absent-minded ;-)
Important notes :-
Beasty has informed me that using the flash bulb for long periods can cause the thing to burn out - so please only use candella for short periods. If you're really worried about it, disable the lightbulb key under "settings -> buttons" and assign it to some other function or <NONE>.
Before flashing ANY cooked ROM, your phone should have the latest bootloader version and be fully unlocked and SuperCID, otherwise it may lock up or crash randomly. Do this with bepe's glorious unlock tool here:-
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Upload/HTC_Uni_Unlock_v1.7z
Here's the ROM (please mirror it if you can) :-
ROM4.1
http://rapidshare.com/files/94351047/THING_V41.build28_ROM.7z.html
ROM4.1 128MB (no pagepool)
http://rapidshare.com/files/94358193/THING_V41.build28_ROM_128_nopage.7z.html
Kitchen4.1, extract it to C:\ :-
http://rapidshare.com/files/94356108/THING_V41.build28_Kitchen.7z.html
Note that both are compressed with 7-ZIP www.7zip.org. It's way more efficient than ZIP and it's free.
wow.
this looks amazing!
I now might need to buy me a universal again.. dropped mine off the balcony.
Will receive tytn2 tomorrow. if it sux i will try your rom! (or i might anyway)
a what kind of file is this?
WTF?
It's a 7-zip archive, freeware archiver.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Thanks thingonaspring for the kitchen link!
Can you post a dialpad screenshot? How many RAM after reboot?
Ram on reboot (all today items enabled, voicecommand disabled) is 28.71mb.
Seems to be nice, will try it when i get my new batery!
What about FlashDisk?
COOOOL
By the looks of it and if it is stable, it seems this is going to be my ROM for a while. Thanks thngonaspring without you guys we Uni owners are completely lost. Keep up the good work
There's no flashdisk in this rom, sorry. Flashdisk builds of 5.2.1908 only work on G3 hardware, as far as I've seen anyhow. I wouldn't be able to test such a ROM on my G4.
can u pls post some other link than rapid share i cant download from there for some what reason thnx, i really would like to install this and check how it works
Hiya
Mamiware's been looking over the ROM and come up with some improvements.
Firstly - a better WIFIWPA fix, I used an older one so the attached one is recommended.
It's attached is as a Cab file (install onto your device, remove \windows\startup\wifiwpa link and reboot).
And as a small patch to the kitchen, just unpack the kitchenpatch_1.zip archive over your existing DEV_UNI directory.
Lastly the kitchen patch removes a junk line that mamiware spotted in the BASEAPPS RGU file. None of the junk makes it into the registry during the build process, but it's better not to have it there.

may i ask what do u mean by no GSM?
can i still make calls from my dopod 577w?
congrats on your ROM mate!
glad to see all these hardwork.
Thanks ericjm!!
@admin22,
No GSM means no radio, you are just able to pick the radio you want. This is just the OS. If you already have radio on your system, you should still be able to make calls if you were able to before. If you want the latest radio version just search for the radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 and you will find one. I will try to upload one to Rapidshare for you.
Here is Rapidshare link for this radio:
http://rapidshare.com/files/68584762/GSM_Radio_4.1.13.28_02.61.zip.html
Thanks
WOW!!! Nice work, vjgrace. You really did it! Almost 20MB free internal storage; a new record!!!
Welcome to the ROM cooking game, pal!
Btw, "Phonebook Speed Dial key mappings changed to match t9" refers to the Greek character key mapping (in original Greek ROM the character key mapping in Speed Dial was different than the one in SMS editing!!!), so you don't need to describe it as a feature. Because of that "feature", there is no Cyrillic character support in Speed Dial, unless you install the package I provide here.
@admin(!!!)22:
You can also upgrade the GSM together with the bootloader, using the SPL link in my signature.
So what's your review on this, Nitro?
Will I like it better than EA's chinese/english?
As I have already said, there is no good, better or best ROM. There is only the one that satisfies you and your needs. EA's has many new settings, but lacks of application quantity. This one has many useful applications and more free space. It's your call...
My english ROM was just a very rush release to satisfy all you non-greek Tornado owners. EA's ROM was a great update. But this ROM is just what I really wanted to release!
Keep up the good work, vjgrace! If you need any help/advice for future releases, don't hesitate to ask.
EDIT: I've just noticed that the available memory/storage values are written vice versa.
Created final version
Hello all,
Refer to post #1, I have v2 still listed in post #1 if you still want it, but I have finished a final version, which is listed in post #1. I have deleted the link and text to the version in this post to decrease confusion, thanks!!!
Well, OK, but... What's the point of loosing all these apps and games for a 0.01kb gain? I don't think you should release a new version, unless you replace all those kBytes with something more usefull.

I quite liked your ROM. EA's worked better for me (after tweaking the audiogain), probably because of the fewer applications.
I'm not entirely sure which of your included apps was causing me the trouble, but if I could have resolved that, I'd likely not have bothered trying yet another.
I guess that for me, less is more.
@Nitrogenious,
Thanks for your comments, you are correct...definitely not much gain on the storage side of it, but a little on the memory side (0.34mb) not much though. I really just wanted to give the option of more control/options for the base with the ability to still use the apps on the storage card.
@Exitao,
I too am under the train of thought that less is more...that is without effecting storage amount.
If you have the audiogain tweak maybe I could implement in the registry...Just let me know.
Thanks again for your comments, they are appreciated!!

Since you have not removed any applications from the StartUp directory, you have no memory gain or loss. What you should always consider an error of +-1MB maximum. Why? Because of the cache. If you browse more the Start Menu before checking the available memory you'll see less of it. If you open the Home Screen settings before the System Setting, free memory is again reduced. So, an error of +-1MB should always be considered!
And also do not forget the ...Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle for Windows Mobile; the memory report utility consumes an amount of memory.
In other words, you have no gain in available memory by removing a non-startup application, even it seems so.

I don't know why but the speaker phone was really quiet. I tried some tweaks I found in the forums, but apparently audiogain tweaks don't always work well across different smartphones.
The one I settled on came from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1374443&postcount=108
However, in my mucking about I may have altered others before using the ones he mentions above. So below are my current settings (excluding the handsfree/car stuff I've never used, let alone tweaked):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\audiogain1]
"CODEC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
A0
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
10
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
79
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
10
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
32
Maybe you could tell me what your settings are so I can see what I've changed...?
Hello Exitao,
Thanks for the PM regarding that link to this ROM, boy that is frustrating, I just sent you a PM. Thanks again.
Well, here is the registry for this ROM...I haven't noticed a decrease in speakerphone volume but I will definitely listen to see if my phone is affected. If so, I will implement your provided tweak in an updated version to make sure this ROM has the optimal tweaks.

@Nitrogenious, THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS...GREAT INFORMATION!!!
Thanks again,
vjgrace
P.S. to Exitao...This block of code I just provided proves that the individual who is taking credit for this ROM build on that link is a fraud because the only way to get this specific block of code (from this build and this version) is to dump the rom and build the rgu files. What a shame.
I quite like EA's ROM because of the extra UI setting tweaks. Does this have such UI tweaks?
Thanks
Hello illi,
Thanks for the inquiry...I was actually about to ask Nitrogenious how to manipulate the registry to add those tweaks. Thanks to Nitrogenious this does have some extra settings tweaks (display timeout adjustment, IE tweaks, Voice tag location tweaks, and more), I am not sure how many more EA's version has (I haven't dumped and located), but hopefully I will be able to find out those values and implement them in this version.
Thanks again for the questions.

Hi vjgrace,
Thanks for the quick reply. I hope your next release will compliment at least EA's if not more on the UI tweaks. I especially am interested to have the IE and Inbox folders in Storage Card; (its a pain to manually tweak the registry every time I flash different ROM). I have also tweaked the \Volatile folder to point to Storage Card. It saves as well and at least maintain the speed/responses when running applications.
Thank you.
Hello illi,
Looks like we are online at the same time, that's pretty wild (I usually don't answer questions quickly). Anyway, I asked Nitrogenious about the tweak values and hoping to get a response. Once I know where to look to manipulate those values I can dump EA's ROM, find his values and hopefully implement them in this version. Always easier to manipulate registry in Settings rather than registry edit, if you know what I mean.
Thanks again

@admin22,
No GSM means no radio, you are just able to pick the radio you want. This is just the OS. If you already have radio on your system, you should still be able to make calls if you were able to before. If you want the latest radio version just search for the radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 and you will find one. I will try to upload one to Rapidshare for you.
Here is Rapidshare link for this radio:

NOTE: The installs have been digitally signed for your confidence and safety!
(Digital Serial Number: ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How-To Verify a digitally signed file against a known serial number
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1
Download the file you wish for your device.
(i.e. "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.zip")
Step 2
Unzip the download.
(double-click the ".zip" file and then click on "Extract all files")
Step 3
Open the directory that you un-zipped the download to.
(i.e. folder "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship")
Step 4
Locate the InstallSheild setup program in the ROM folder, then right-click it and choose "Properties".
(i.e. "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.exe")
Step 5
Once the file properties is open select the "Digital Signatures" tab, then in the "Signature List" double-click the "HTCCertificates signing authority" signature.
Step 6
Once the "Digital Signature Details" is open select the "Advanced" tab then compare the "Serial number" with the known one.
(My S/N: “ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61”)
Step 7 (Results)
If the serial numbers match then rest easy because you are using a "TRUE" Jwrightmcps ROM that has not been altered and is virus-free.
If the serial number does not match then it is not my original work and should not be used!
NOTE: I did this is case these files make it onto other sites, it will give you guys a way to tell if it is really mine or not. I will always use this serial number (ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61) from now on to sign all my work, so please make note of it!

checking it out
i have a major problem, just wondering if this rom has it fixed....
The top start bar goes dead after a while....so i click on the start button, it doesnt fire up the menu....but the rest of the device is usable,....but pointless eventually needing a restart...
Man, sometimes i wonder, why does god damned MS make such buggy software? Cant it just run on all devices the same way???! Unless they've written "special" code blocks to screw things up on purpose!
cheers, and like every new rom does, this gets my hopes and euphoria up again, and here i go testing it! thanks m8 for all your efforts
San
can't wait started the download and will be flashing just now.
Downloading your new ROM. I'm using your last ROM right now, the only problem being that uninstalling skype doesn't actually uninstall it
Hope this ROM is even more stable than your last one. Great work!! Will drop by with my feedback in a couple of days!!
SDHC Issue
My Sandisk Ultra II 4 GB is not showing up his root in the file explorer. I changed the driver to Enhanced mode (Evenif it was selected initially) and restarted the device. But no use.... 1933 it was working perfect with the same card. Anyone else having this issue >?
Thanks Dear...What about video call...??
I have just downloaded the ROM... but haven't upgraded my device. Video call was not appearing in the previous ROM..... expected to appear in the latest ROM atleast
is it possible to change the regional settings and the currency edit? how about SMS schedular like e-mails?
Hi Jason!
Why you put it into it it adobe reader steady?
And what the "performance.exe" does not get place for in the ROM reason?
Cheers: Laza
Hi Jason,
Thanks alot for your efforts.
I have a problem that my phone buttons does not work and I can't display my old contact that I saved from from WM5. PIM file is about 900K.
The On buton also does not work, to turn the device on I had to push the button and move the screen forward and back.
Any body have a solution, please help. Thank You.
I have a JASJAR.
Great ROM, especially the phone response is really good. No call missing / dropping appeared until now (on R 1.15 supplied with the ROM).
But my 4 Gb SDHC not detecting on this ROM. I tried with 1933, its perfect on that release. I have seen one more report about 8GB SDHC issue in 1958 version release thread.
JW Do you have any work around ?
Camera not working at all. Back to 21206: after a month of use not a single problem!
IEEE 802.11g WLAN registry hack:
Before: HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (dword)
After:HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8 (dword)
