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

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?

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..

I don't think Dutty has confirmed this yet, probably waiting on my slow a$$, but for all of you using other ROM's because you use BBC & need to have multi-apn's so that you can continue running BBC & utilize your MediaNet, etc. data connections at the same time, come on over & check it out.
After digging thru a rom that allowed for using BBC at the same time as the primary data connection, analyzing hundreds upon hundreds of registry settings & files, I found a simple registry edit that allows for the use of multiple data seesions. Mt work was EASY! Then the magic man cooked it in & I can now tell you that Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid ROM will allow you to use simultaneous data connections.
People that had this requirement before were limited on their rom selections. No longer is this the case, now you have a second choice! Dutty wm6.1 Hybrid!
Thanks Dutty for your Hard Work, the chance to help out, & a big thank you to Sleuth, for the key came from him, even if he doesn't know it!
BIS, BES, BBC users, give Dutty a try!!!! No longer will your BBC tunnel shut down to access the net!
Sweet. This doesn't affect me in any way. But I'm glad you figured it out. This will be much useful to the people who need it. Keep up the good work Gsleon!
Great work as usual!
...check your email, sent you a 6 pack... (don't ask about the name, it haunts me from my eBay days)
Yeah, what you said id definteliy valid because this is the first ROM where I was able to use activesyn and be connected to my pc, and use the wifi on the phone to connect to the internet. On other ROMS it always one or the other never both.
Thanks for the indo.
thats awesome! now i need to get a data package....lol

Let's try Blackberry Connect.
Care to share the registry edit? I am running Dutty's ROM and I'll try the BBC but would like to know if I can use the registry edit with other ROMs as well.
Thanks
God bless DUTTY. But, what do you mean by BBC access, RSS? TV?
For those of you wondering what BBC (Blackberry Connect) is here is a light article explaining it.

Yes, why not just post the registry edit so I don't have to re-flash my Kaiser... again.

did anyone tried bbc with this rom under T-mobile UK network.
I find the reg setting went back after you restart ppc. and no longer working with multi APN.
can you tell me what the difference is between your reg tweak and turning both BBC and my Isp to always on? I have never had any issues using HTC roms but can't remember if I tried it on a carrior released rom...

are you going to be releasing a modified cab or rom?
I'm a very new adopter (just a couple of days ago) of an MDA pro (unlocked) still running WM5, now considering upgrading to WM6.
Sorry to say this, but it's really a bit intimidating and time-wasting to check out all the thousands of replies in each ROM thread.
The wiki page says very little (if any) about the pros and cons of each ROM.
So just to kick out to use WM6, with the following basic requirement:
Skype works
Video calls (including Skype video) works
All wireless connections work
Which ROM out there can do this?
I've tried ranju briefly but quickly found out that Skype doesn't work at all...
And I can't see any link to the official WM6 ROM for Uni. Could someone drop a pointer here? Any annoying issue with this "stock" version?
I'd be very surprised if there is no such option.
Any recommendation and suggestion is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Dave
Ok, hope this helps:
There's no official WM6 version for our Uni's. Any WM6 ROM has been made, unofficially, by a ROM cooker.
Video call is incomplete on WM6, some ROMs have it but it doesn't work properly. If Videocall is a must, stick with WM5.
If a particular ROM has trouble with Skype, read through the forum thread for that ROM, most likely a fix has been discovered.
Have fun with your Uni.
Thanks for the reply. This surely clarifies the situation.
I will first try to find out which WM6 ROM gets along with Skype. Will report back if successful.

I have Ranju's v7,6 with radio 1.18.00, i was tryed few version of skype from links on this forum but still doesn't work.
Any ideas? ;/ (i know it must be somewhere here some solution but qoogle search on this forum is $%^(##$ )
I am very new to all this and definitely not ready to cook anything just yet. I had the AT&T Tilt and just got the Fuze today. I don’t want to ask questions that already have been addressed, but I have read so many posts that my head hurts--still not sure what I need to have/do. I loved the Kaiser Tweak.cab that I got from you guys for the tilt to set up HSDPA and other wonderful little tools…Is there a single cab file like this for the Fuze that does the same as the Kaiser did for the tilt? I tried using the Kaiser and it worked till I turned the phone off and back on…Help!!!! I miss the HSDPA and all.
Thanks and be gentle- its my first time….posting that is!
Gibby
Gibby,
One thing at a time my friend, what are you trying to do with your fuze?
Fuze Help
I am trying to find a single .cab file, if it exists, for the AT&T Fuze that will accomplish all the things the Kaiser Tweak .cab did for the AT&T Tilt. I would like to get the HSDPA speed back, the start screen animation to go away, and other functions that were in the previous tweak for the tilt. Please forgive me for not being clear, as that was my first post. Hopes this will help me get pointed in the right direction.
V/r Gibby
Ok, your device is aka Raphael so head over to that forum and have a look.
THere are some reg tweaks on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413562
Also download advanced conf, works wonders on most phones
Also check out this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419746
The Raphael forum is packed with tweaks etc so have fun and do some reading.
The above will do you for starters
Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and also didn’t know the device was called Raphael. I have downloaded a lot of things from this site such as the @essentials_upd1, which has a lot of cab files like the advanced config file in it. It changed my 3G icon to H like I was looking for, but is this true HSDPA or do I need to “cook” my ROM to get better results/true HSDPA. This is what I am having a hard time understanding. Thanks again for the help.
GIbby
no need to cook your own rom, as long as your network supports hsdpa your kool! and with all due respect my friend, yout prob not ready to cook yet
With the release of various new kitchens for the Herald/Wing, I'm sure there are going to be many newbie cooks with many newbie questions. I'm creating this thread as a place to ask our remaining Chefs questions in a central location to avoid them being bombarded in the various other threads. I define a "Chef" as those cooks who have released many flavors of ROMs, so presumably they know what they are doing, and thay are still cooking for the herald/wing... aka Ivanmmj, Ace10134, Apreichner, IllConcepts, etc. No disrespect intended to those great cooks who have released ROMs in the past, but have gone on to other projects, aka toadlife, ttran001, itje, Papamopps, Dutty, ICP, KidnamedAlbert, ginolin, and others... if you are still around, feel free to participate.
Please limit your questions to issues with ROM COOKING. Take a look at Ace's Guide to Cooking before asking. Then if all else fails... ASK THE CHEF.
Please state which kitchen you are using, which WinMo build, and as much detail as possible. If you get the answer, please update your post so that it is not answered multiple times.
Reserved for later
Reserved for even later
I'll answer
And you've got my GUIDE.
Please link that in the first post, since that'll eliminate a large percentage of questions!!

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

The CAB issue is only on the 6.5 builds and I'm looking for a fix right now.
The internet connection is because you didn't install and run Network Wizard. I'm going to guess that you use T-mobile. It seems that only T-mobile users run into the "problem" of the internet connection not working. (I think the average tmobile user is used to having a phone that is FROM tmobile and therefore already preconfigured by tmobile.)
lol ya the network config wizard was the cab I tried to install. Once the cab thing is worked out it will be easy sailing!

That would be cool! I am not 100% sure that it was the network setup i needed. When i would go to Setting/Connections/Connections there was nothing at all. Usually there is an "Add a new modem connection, Set up proxy, etc" But it was completely blank Except for the word connections on top. Usually on "Herald" roms on my wing i can manually do the wap.voicestream and be fine. I could be wrong however.... i am very new at this.
I recently installed the Rom for original windows mobile 6 from this site...I don't knw whether it is windows mobile 6 but it is working very well and I like it but there is a problem..the camera does not become bright like it used to when opened and the screen remains black..when press the capture button it shows an error...I have an htc tytn

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