I have created my first ROM using Alex's tutorial and after several attempts, there a number of recurring problems that I cannot seem to solve. First, everytime the Kaiser performs a reset, it never starts back and I end up having to do a soft reset. A notable example of this is after windows does the initial customization or when the Kaiser attempts to reset after installing a .cab that requires it. Secondly, the bluetooth explorer never seems to work. I'll tap the icon and I see the wait screen icon but nothing happens. Next, I cannot get two cabs properly configured into package, the Vista Cube (made by Poorly Duck) and the second being HTC Action Screen. The Package Builder gives a registry error for the Vista Cube and a .DHM error for the latter. If it would help, I can post up the exact messages given for the aforementioned programs.

Might be easier to compare your packages with a known good one, or just replace the "broken" one with the working one, if you'd prefer.
I've attached the Bluetooth Explorer and HTC New Action packages from Alex's kitchen below. I've used both and they definitely work. I've also attached the HTC New Action package with the graphics modified to PoorlyDuck's Vista theme, again I've used this and I know it works too.
Good luck.
Thanks, Ill download these and post the results back soon. BTW, is there anything I could do for the problem of the kaiser not wanting to turn back on after it is reset. For example, after windows does the "3 second customization thing" after a fresh install and then resets, my kaiser never turns back on. (I end up having to do a soft reset) I noticed that I never had this problem with the original stock ATT ROM but experience this problem with HTC based ROMs or many cooked ROMs.

There was one ROM released that had a reset-bug which sounds like the one you're referring to - look out for any ROM based on the 3.03 WM6.1 ROM (all others should be OK - such as 3.02 and 3.08).
EDIT-
Upon spending some time analyzing why the Vista Cube wont work, I narrowed it down to the registry file (.rgu) I looked at the errors and pinpointed them down to "Param"="-service """Activesync" and "Param"="-service """SMS". I removed the -service with a "NULL" and the package worked fine. Is there anyway to correct it without changing the paramaters to NULL. The only solution that I could think of was to create the packages using the "NULL" paramater and then after flashing, going into the registry and changing them back to their original settings. But as many others have cooked the Cube into their ROM, I'm sure there's another solution. Can anyone guide me in the right way. Sorry for all the questions X_X

MAny people telling about problems with wiffi turn on:
- Not available by clicking on "g"
- not available to remap to hardwarebutton
- Not recognizing after pushing by commmanager
This comes up in several ROMs and I mentioned a soulution in many threads.
For some it works,for some not.
Just give it a try:
HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1\Parms\HTCPreloadStatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1\Parms\HTCPreloadWifi --> 1
and check if WifiInit.ink is in \windows\startup folder.
Please tell me with which ROM it works and for which not.
Thank you.

This did the the trick for me running NottoSmart Vanilla. I had wifiinit.lnk in startup, it was the reg key values that did the trick for me.
I don't have any SPB programs installed, although I did try one out, but then uninstalled it, so maybe that is what "broke" itm since I know wireless was working when I installed the ROM. I currently have the following programs installed if that helps...
Voice Command 1.6
Pocket Mechanic
Sharkey Softkey Changer
JamDat Worms
Registry Wizard
Battery Status 1.3 beta
Live Search
TOtal Commander
CorePlayer
CoolCamera
Treo Picture dialer
SP TimeSync
PQzII Wizard
Phone Alarm with B&W Pure skin
Foxit PDF
Tascal CloseAll
THANKS!!! for figuring this out!
Just to be sure, are the correct values in HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1 key or in HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1\Params?

Here's the cab file for those who doesn't want to search registry. If there's no improvement, simply uninstall it to restore previous state.
HTCPreloadStatus doesn't stick?
In my current ROM HTCPreloadWiFi is already set to 1 and HTCPreloadStatus is set to 0. If I change HTCPreloadStatus to 1, exit the Registry editor, leave it for a while and soft reset it always reverts back to 0. I have verified the change is being made by exiting the Registry editor and then opening it again and checking and it does indeed say it's set to 1. However a soft-reset later and it's back to 0.....

Here is my experience. I was having intermittent inability to enable WiFi. Sometimes this was rectified with a soft reset, other times not. I checked the two keys and they were both set to zero.
I applied the changes and re-booted after waiting awhile. I noticed that the WiFi came on after reset without having to enable it. I am running mUn with the collected fixes from NotTooSmart.
I have since toggled and re-toggled and re-booted my Wizard and all seems well. However, HTCPreloadStatus is set to zero on mine regardless of whether the WiFi is on or not.
It is all working though.

Thanks for this and the pointer to the 10 button comm manager screen. After installing the new comm manager, doing the reg fix for that, and then applying this cab, it appears my Wifi starts up each time with no issues (in the minimal testing I've done over the last couple of hours).

Hi there m8. I just couldnt install the new comm manager. I just upload it to my device and try it to install in the main memory but i just cant.
This is weird. :s
Any advice ???
Yep, that is weird. Went right onto mine with no issues, and I'm also running XPlore 1.1. Have you tried doing a soft reset and then loading it again? Maybe putting the cab directly on your phone and then running it from your phone?
Yes... that did it.

I realized I was having the same problem, came back and, VOILA, there is already a solution to the problem of the solution!
However, I seem to be a little dense today but I cannot figure out what 10 button comm manager screen was pointed to.
based on the screen shots from the following post and using google I found this post in the Hermes forum that seemed to have the file specified, but I wanted to check before I installed something ported from the trinity to the hermes on a wizard

Also, this may be mild hijacking, but has anyone tried the other cabs in that post, specifically the sim manager and bluetooth file transfer?

The commanager was asked for by people using xplore and don´t like green commmanger.
It might be a soulution.
Everything what would help is wellcome. But the thread started to get bigger and bigger discussion several problems.
It was started to evaluate the function of the registrysettings.

Right, and it was determined that the registry settings work, but only temporarily, since they go back to 0 after a second soft reset. from what I understood, installing the different comm manager either allowed the settings to persist or made them irrelevant, which is why I thought a discussion of taht belonged in this thread. Am I completely wrong in the above assumption?

That was mentioned by me.
To your question. My settings stay even after softreset. Do you change it and turn off device by powerbutton for 5seconds? For this ever works regarding to reghacks.
Didn´t wanted to stress you. Discussion is the way this forum lives!

Yes, thats the one. But for the wizard there is a reg key you have to remove or it breaks your Wifi. Please look at the XPlore thread for discussion on this (or as suggested, start a new thread specifically about the 10 button comm manager. It probably needs a seperate thread anyway).
Having installed Dutty's WM6.1.5.2.19209 I installed Resco keyboard.
I cant select the Resco keyboard - Transcriber and Symbol pad can be selected, but if Resco keyboard is selected it immediately goes back tp PCM.
I've tried all the suggestions I can find in these forums:
1.) Installed Default IM Selector (selected Resco, then soft reset)
2.) Installed SIP Change (selected Resco the soft reset)
3.) Start > Settings > Input (selected Resco...)
No effect. Any ideas?
yes I got any problem with Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19400_1_64.08.21[Cube] rom
<Mean>
You obviously didn't read Dutty's thread before flashing this ROM.
</Mean>
If you browse to the appropriate Dutty thread, I guarantee you that within 6 posts from the top (hint: LOOK AT POST 5), you will find your solution. In the future, please check the thread for your ROM before creating a new thread. It is highly likely that someone has already run into your issue, and the solution is posted in there.
i have the same issue and have read the thread but it still doesn't work
Download the 3 files attached in Post #5, then follow the instructions in Post #1185.
I think your comments were a tiny bit mean, but understandable as a lot of people don't read the threads before asking the same question over and over again.
Sadly, I have been reading threads for days now, searching for every keyword I can think of, followed the instructions (including installing SIP Change. Select which keyboard you want. Then install Default IM Selector. The select the same keyboard. Then soft reset.) and I still can't get it to work. Maybe I'm doing something stupid, so here is what I've tried in full:
1) Initial preparation...
Start with a SIM unlocked TYTNii from Orange (Kaiser130)
PIM Backup
HARDSPL - didn't work (white screen) so tried JumpSPL1.56-kais.exe
JumpSPL1.56-kais.exe didn't work either so tried JumpSPL1.93-kais.exe
JumpSPL1.93-kais.exe worked fine.
Flash hard SPL using KaiserCustomRUU
2) Flashed Dutty's ROM
http://rapidshare.com/files/107917203/Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16 _27__FIX_.zip
As I type the following, I'll repeat each action so that I can document each message and behaviour accurately...
3) Hard Reset - everything looks great, but I don't like the size of the keys on PCM keyboard
4) I install Resco Keyboard using .exe from pc with usb connection.
There's an option to install as the default keyboard so that remained ticked. At the end of the install, there's a message "Unable to initialise the Resco Keyboard. Input method will be activated after the next soft-reset".
Soft Reset.
5) Test by opening Tasks application
6) Now that's really annoying, as it works straight away this time. Without having to run SIP Change or Default IM Selector. The only difference is that I haven't installed other software first.
So, thanks for your response which in a round about way fixed the problem!
Unfortunately Dutty's Apr 09 ROM saw many people running into your problem even after running the 3 CAB files posted by AllTheWay. Sometimes it took several times running thorough the steps until the change finally stuck.
I have the same annoying issue. I have tried many solutions to solve it, but all failed. who can give me the accurate answer? thx
It seems far too random to me. I wonder if anyone has a technical explanation of why trying it a few times seems to work.
[ Er, no I haven't searched the forums this time ;-) ]
You all know that this should have been in Dutty's thread in the first place. No need to continue posting in it.
I have WM6 running on a HTC Trinity (the Orange SPV M700 variant) has been wonderful for over a month now, last night I reset it cause I hadn't in ages and it was getting all bunged up and slow, when it came back everything just stopped working.
Touchflo, HTCHome, all the stuff i had running on startup instantly blasted errors at me, and all the applications i have installed wont run, including .cab installers..
The error is:
"The File [File name] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
I'm not one of these idiots who just panicks and complains about a problem, i've searched google a lot, found that its probably the 'security configuration' and found a program that should be able to change it, only, it can't connect to it properly through activesync, i assume because of the same thing. I would just wipe it clean, even re-flash the ROM if i had too, but I want to back everything up first with something like PPCPimBackup which has worked wonders in the past, only, I can't run the executable...
If it really comes down to it i will just manually backup my contacts list and suffer the other losses, but i'm sure there is some genious on these forums who has a magic sollution..
Always keep in mind, it's called a Pocket PC, because it's just like a PC. So from here on out, be sure to reset daily, it's quick and can help over a long run. As far as it not running now (don't know if you have fixed it yet) but try another reset, sometimes when there are too many startup apps, it can cause some chaos and certain apps won't run. Or try uninstalling the apps not working and reinstalling after a reset, after the uninstall.
Also, always a great idea to backup.
I would like to think i'm pretty good with computers, if this happened on my laptop or desktop I'd be able to find the registry values or find a program to change them for me to stop it blocking the apps from running.
Trouble is, I can't run the PPC version of RegEdit because it is blocking EVERY .exe, If it wasn't PPC i'd boot it up in safe mode, using all the default values, but there isn't on in WM6 by default (to my knowledge anyway)
I've reset many times and nothing changes, turned it off, even taken the battery out just in case it made a difference.
I think i'm going to have to do a hard reset and suffer the losses..
Sometimes a hard reset is the only solution.
Saw this in a signautre from NiteStalker, both hilarious and true, "If knowledge is counted in Hard Resets, I must be a genious!"
Hello all,
A simple question.
How can one tell what kind of a unit he has, is it WWE or is it ASIA or maybe another, I have bought my unit 2nd hand and since then had problems with the softwares and radio roms.
I have used WWE rom, and I just can not get all my contacts in, I have used ASIA and for a few days all was working fine, till something happens I reset the unit and either data is lost or the radio has no signal etc.
Another question, is it possible to stop the Automatic Customization after a hard reset???
Your help would be much appreciated.
WWE or Asia depends on installed ROM. Type can be Polaris 100 or Polaris 200, AFAIK, and is visible during hard reset.
What ROM are you using now? Looks like trouble with ROM or bad device.
Customization can be stopped, if I remember correctly, but you should check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355277&highlight=Polaris+tips+tricks
Hi,
Many thanks.
For the moment I am using a cooked rom Khanx 1.6 Pro.
I was really fed up with the Original Rom as I said it was fine for a few days, working smoothly, even backups by SPB were fine, and suddenly one day the unit froze and I had to reset after the rest nothing worked, all data lost.
Even after Hardreseting I was having problems with 'VDDemon' each time, only after re-installing the rom for a few times I was able to go back to working with it.
I mainly use the unit for telephone (ofcourse), mail, notes and sms.
By the way when I enter bootloader, I can see POLA100 MFG, and the SPL-2.20.Olinex, CPLD-2.
And what I meant about the Automatic ..., when you hard reset the unit you get a windows saying that in 3 seconds and automatic instal is beginning, how can one stop this instal????????
So really I am not even having fun with it at all.
OK, Pola 100 is here too, but SPL is original HTC.
Could you try device for few days with "bare" ROM, meaning no other software installed? Maybe it's software incompatibility.
For stoping customization check thread I mentioned, think it's described there. But I might be wrong, it could be some another thread. In any case, I remember reading about it here and a way how it can be stopped.
My Polaris is stable as stable Windows device can be...

It is Oli's SPL...
Two days ago I was forced to do HR and installing everything from the beginning (including a program S2U2). Previously this program had a perfect set up there that everything worked as it should. Unfortunately, after HR had to set options from scratch since it abolished the settings file.
And here the problems begin ... see if I have locked the phone S2U2 program and comes to me is a combination of:
first screen (turns and shows the caller's picture) inform me of this after about 3-5 seconds
second ring with the vibration is also included in the time (despite setting a ringtone + vibration)
thirdly, when I answer a call by sliding it all hangs ... slider is not working, the game is still ringing, vibration "beeps", the keys to lock the phone (along with the key with a green handset). Only one I can turn off the phone by removing the battery.
And what is strange when you restart your phone, such a combination is not recorded in the history of the device (as if it was not at all).
What can I do about this? Do you have any solution?
PS. Just please do not force me to re-HR (the latter has already resulted in almost two days removed from the life of uploading and installing everything back on the phone)
After several hours of testing anything new did not work.
And I tried off the SENSE (on a clean windows), enabled SENSE but uninstall S2U2 still the same: when I receive a call the screen locks up and I can not in any way to answer this connection (shown a picture of the caller and a ringtone that lasts indefinitely until the remove the battery) ... Sometimes when I set S2U2 slider can receive and answer the call even talk during conversations, but everything is blocked and only helps to remove the battery.
I also noticed that it stopped working light sensor which is not to extinguish the screen ...
OS: 5.2.21869
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.48.479.1 WWE
Radio: 2.05.51.05_2
are you still on official 1.48 rom? i suggest you to upgrade to a newer rom and, if you go for a custom rom, make a task 29 before that. I think there is not better option, sorry. btw, it is only my opinion. good luck.
You think so?
Previously (before HR) also had the same ROM, the same programs installed and everything worked well.
Or is it a problem or some settings SENSE software like S2U2, BSB Tweaks, XT Hacks2 etc. ...??
Well, but if only to help it load a new ROM to install the new Windows wchciałbym 6.5.x, the new ROM, the new SENSE etc ...
Can you describe the order in which what can I do?

are you using xt hacks2? leave that program, it may be the cause of your problems. still, you need to upgrade
i cannot guide you step by step as i'm not so good in english, anyway, if you go for custom rom first you have to HSPL your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
then you have to choose your rom, there are plenty out there, in the end you have to flash, it's not that complicated believe me, you will need 15 minute to do all these things. if you never flashed your phone you don't even need to perform a task 29 right now, just remember to do hard reset after you flashed the rom.
flash rom, radio, hspl are all done with same operations: plug phone to pc with activesync, launch exe files, wait
Ok I understand.
But in what order do I install it?
First install the ROM, next RADIO , then WINDOWS 6.5.3 (I have Windows 6.5) and HSPL?

windows mobile is already included in rom
1) HSPL
2) RAdio, this step depends on what custom rom you pick, there are custom rom with radio included, others without the radio (in this case you have to install suggested radio), see the rom thread for more informations
2) Flash rom
3) hard reset
take a look here, there is a tutorial for noobs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
easier way? install a stock rom 1.66, you don't have to HSPL and worry about which radio choose, it is all included
my GF has the same prob on her HTC mega (touch 2)!
on mine HD2, all works fine....
