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.

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?

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..

Hey Dutty, which one is the java manager? I am looking at your server, can't figure out which one is the cab for it. thanks.
Nevermind, found it!
That is why so many people angry with some newbie... try searching for claudyfa esmertec java... it work well with opera mini fullscreen and gmail.
mistakes we all made....and still make. i myslef get lazy as hell and dont feel like reading through 76 pages to find one answer sometimes. but it is a lil annoying seeing the same questions over and over. my advise....either help the person...or ignore them.

there's something to be clear about, the reason I asked was that if you do a search for JAVA on Dutty's cab list, you wouldn't find anything (I read through the list 10 times), I didn' t know it was part of the midlet, until I did a search for JAVA on xda and then read through pages of info and finally understood where JAVA is under and so that is why I found it... Overall, took me a bit of time.
The problem also with the search option here, if you are looking for a string of words, you get pages of info that can be 1% relevant to the answer and then you have to scroll through it. At ATT Forums, the search option there were much easier to navigate. So is at hofo's forum, but here, it's hard.
I have to do one main search to find relevant to my question, then go to each forum and to search within the forum for the answer.
I'm a noob at the sametime understand technology, and when you see me posting a question it is usually after hours of searching and troubleshooting it myself and 'can't' get anywhere, that is where i ask or sometimes, the answer was jsut right in my face but somehow I just keep missing it
Hello,
could someone please post the software versions for the Random Access and Camera applications of a german XDA Orbit 2?
Thanks!
I think it's a little bit wrong to write here. ask at ppc-welt.info and you will get an answer!
Do you only need the Versionnumbers? I could ask for you if you don't want to register there...
If you could ask there, that would be very much appreciated!
I really just need the version numbers of the programs.
BTW: the advertising on pc-welt is horrible! I HATE these popups! My Opera can't get rid of them.
I've opened a thread.. let's wait!
Thanks, isv / EVO!
Kamera: Version 5.04 (29195)
Cool, thx.
So it IS the same version that is floating around in the Kaiser forums...
And if Random Access is not included, I could always install it.
Please convey my thanks to the good folks over at ppc-welt.
If you want more software --> HTC Kaiser Cab-Collection

Hi. I'm using 8.3.2124260.
8.3.4.117940 (Nov. 3. 2009.) is the latest build of iGO8.
go here gpsunderground they are really helpfull, just search igo for HD2
Thanks for the help all - one more question - has anyone successfully got TTS (Text to Speak) working on their HD2?
I've got the TTS files but have read conflicting messages over whether they're compatible. I plan on having a play around later anyway when I've got some time, but of course would love some more input from all here!
Cheers
