WM5 Forum Section - General Topics

OK, It would be great to get a place where I can look through the WM5 cabs that we have available here. I keep searching and end up having to try 4 different version of HTC Home plugin before getting the WM5 one, or having to install remove HARD Reset other HTC apps or different themes. If we had a WM5 section I think it would be great. I would be happy to post all the Apps that I found to work on WM5 so far. As well as a few the had me HARD Reset ...
Well That is just an Idea. I know many people have moved to WM6 but WM6 slows an older phone down (Cingular 8125) from what I have read.
Best Regards,
SoBBie

you can post all your wm5 programs over here.

WM6 or is it just WM5 skinned?

I'm a bit confused, and i'm unsure to tell the difference. With all the roms floating out there in the forums, are they just WM 5.0 roms skinned? or actually a WM 6.0 rom?
Which ROM in particular are you referring to?? Faria's and mun's are both WM6 -- as are the MB rom and the Underground ROM. I know for sure all these are WM6 because I've flashed them all to my phone.
There are two versions of WM6 out there
1)The first one was a Japanese WM6 ROM releases for the HTC Hermes (Cingular 8525). This was then ported to the Wizard.
2)Faria says his latest rom uses the WM6 rom that is intended for release for the HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125).
Since we are on the subject,
what are the main advantage of WM6 over WM5?
I flashed MB rom about a month ago, and I use it for about 1 week before switching back to Faria's old ROM. People talk about speed, but in my opinion, it's about the same and a bit slower.
Maybe it's because I'm not used to the new system, but I think that some of the functions are more hassle, for example, the pin code. In WM5, u just put in your PIN and ta da, automatic you are logged in. in WM6, u have to push the unlock button after u keyed in your Pin. Another one is the message button at the left top of your wizard. in WM5, you push it and it automatically go to the last view message, i.e. either text message or SMS or email. in WM6 everytime you use the button, u have to choose where to go..
ANother things, most of WM6 released is pretty bare, that's maybe some of us find it faster. Since I'm already pampered with a lot of utils from the previous ROm, I found it too much hassle to go find and install all this necessary application into my PPC.
Just my thought

First, some of the things you mentioned about WM6 are configurable (like going to messaging and having to choose. I turned that off so it works like WM5 for me).
As for being bare, yes some are and thats what some like. If you don't want bare, then try the Faria "the real thing" WM6. Its very similar to AKU 3.3 in that it has lots of stuff 9but not as much stuff ans WM6 is bigger and he couldn't put everything in it).
Good luck.

Need Some Assistance

Ok my boss has a T-Mobile Wing and I have the 8125. We both have Wm6 but I have found that GoodLink doesn't seem to work under Wm6. Is there a registry entry I can change to trick GL into thinking I am running WM5 or are we stuck till GL gets around to releasing a WM6 version of their software?
See this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=300115
But basically you need to get a valid install of it on WM5, and then back it up. Then you can restore it on WM6 and use it (with some limited functionality). I've never used the software, just remember others talking about getting it to work on WM6. Do a google search for goodlink xda and you will find references in other forums too.

A list of Wizard cabs

hey all i saw someone had a list of wizard programs it was really long,.. i been searching and can not find it... can someone give me a hand,., also can anyone show me where to get some games.. thanks
I've not had any feedback from the other mods on this, but I think this is a great idea and one started by Sandrobber. Please send me a PM if you are interested in getting a wiki page started for Wizard specific cabs. (That means you will be writing the page.)
a post liekthis already exsist i am trying to find it
Why don't you guys use GOOGLE? There's not such thing as wizard cabs... just wm5 cabs or wm6 cabs... try searching for pocket pc freeware
Some cabs are Wizard specific, such as tweaks. It's not always as easy as Google-ing.
Go to wizardupgrading forum and there you will find the list of wiard software the thread is sticky started by texasaggie.

1. the vibrate function can provide you hours of enjoyment, with proper placement (external or internal, your choice)
2. install as many programs as possible, filling up both main memory and storage card, using them once or twice then never use them again. after flashing a new rom, install a new assortment of software you probably don't need.
3. re-encode your favourite pr0n to ppc scaling and impress your friends with today's pocket pr0n.
4. port over wm5 from the wizard (blinding speeds, you won't be sorry)
5. read ALL the stickies in Kaiser upgrading area of forum (this isn't near as fun as the other suggestions, but you'll be able to answer your own questions, and be comfortable in the knowledge that you can hack your phone "without any help")
1 and 3 make a nice combo too!
Yes there is a WM6.1 upgrade, i am using Shaps at the moment and it seems to work fine for me.
WM6.1 doesnt give you a huge amount new, Shaps 6.1 rom for me has been stable and quick, i dont tend to install much on my phones though other than the included stuff. I do a few bits and install TomTom. 6.1 has threaded sms which is nice but has some annoying little issues, like i cant seem to find a way to forward sms messages any more. bit annoying.
Flicking through some of the other forums people seemed to be muttering about not being able to sync there 6.1 phones with ex2003, i use ex2007 though so i cant comment, mine works fine.
Havent noticed any bad sound quality over bluetooth. Be more specific though, do you mean stereo bluetooth or just normal.
I use the htc home plugin looks nice and works well.
Hope i have helped.
Rob
ps. Remember before you rush out and start flashing roms, read the wiki and things. You have to do stuff like hard spl and things first.
If i were you i would do it in this order.
1. hard spl
2. sim unlock (if needed)
3. wm 6.1 rom
4. radio rom

You are one sick and twisted individual and I like it.
Start with the beginning of the internet at www.www.com and read through the entire thing.
I like to turn on wifi, 3g, gps, and bluetooth and use my kaiser to keep my coffee warm.

How are WM6.1 ROMs nowadays?

So I've been out of the scene a long time, the last time I was around the WM6.1 ROMs were just getting released and had a lot of bugs.
How are they nowadays? Anymore freezing or GPS problems? What are the benefits with the WM6.1 ROMs? I'm thinking about using the factory HTC WM6.1 ROM on my AT&T Tilt.
Thanks in advance.
How are they????
Well, where should I start???
How about the begining....They are about 70,000 to 109,000 kilobytes.
Dude seriously??? There are several dozen posts about 6.1 roms. It would've taken you less time to read a few of them then to post this waste of space.
So go read & learn something new. Try a few, or learn & cook your own. But don't come around here & expect anyone to write up cliff notes so you don't have to read or search like the rest of us.

The common known issues and fixes are;
1. GPS- There is a common problem with the GPS programs starting when the HTC Today home plugin is active. Some ROMs seem to get around this issue, but every 6.1 ROM I have tried experienced this. The fix is to disable HTC Today plugin, soft reset, start the GPS software and minimize it. Enable your HTC Today plugin and go through each tab (Today/Contacts/Music/Weather, etc.) You should then be able to close the GPS program and it will start again untill your next S/R.
2. There was a screen freeze issue that was fixed by a new Hard SPL 3.28 or 3.29, do a search on Jockey SPL and it will take you to the SPL replacement process.
The new Diamond ROM is out and they are cooking in some of its feattures into the Kaiser ROMs.
Some of the 6.1 advantages have been the threaded messaging, better memory allocation, Internet Explorer has more functionality and you can say you have the latest and "greatest"......
I have been using Laurentis' ROMs but stopped flashing after his L26 v6a.
I have not tried any of the Diamond ROMS because I'm waiting to see those bugs.... I have ran on L26 v6a for over a month with minimal issues, other than those listed above.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.
I acutally did do a search but it seems like nowadays everybody has a veriation of the WM 6.1 ROM and there wasn't really any information on the shipped HTC ROM because everybody uses cooked ROMs. I'll stick with WM6 for now and check back in a few months.
Edit: Offensive post removed
really? with all the different version that the cooks put out there, you think he could summarize all the features, and pros and cons of all different roms that are available in the less the time it took to write that?
and in case you dont know who you are calling gay, just hope that you never ever brick you device.
Stop asking to be spoon fed.
Stop the flaming.
