For my 1,000th post to XDA-Developers.com, I present to you:
Crossbow Reloaded v1.5
A Faria ROM Kitchen Production by mfrazzz
This version fixes issues that were found with the first release of Crossbow Reloaded, and adds new features. Just like with the first release, please remember that this ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted, so no complaints about why does this rom have this in it, or why didn't you put this in there. If you don't like how this rom is spiced, then go grab the Faria ROM Kitchen and make your own version. I am open to ideas on how to improve the rom (most of the changes in this version are direct results of ideas and comments posted in the original release thread).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to perform at a better than acceptable level for myself, and so far Battery life seems just as good as any other WM6 ROM I've tried. If you have Battery Life issues, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that will correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. Also note that I've been running this version for about 24 hours and have not even used overclocking and found it to perform very nicely (so Overclocking should work very nicely).
What's Different in V1.5 from V1.0?
Removed Transcriber (actually this wasn't in v1.0 but I just want to make it clear its not here either) (Can be added back via CAB)
Removed VoIP (can be added back via CAB)
Removed Voice Command (Can be added back via CAB)
Removed HTC Zip (Pocket RAR does zip and works better IMO)
Removed PHM Registry Editor
Added SQLCE
SIM Manager upgraded to v6.1
HTC X-Button upgraded to v1.5 and now turned on by default
Added WM5NewMenu
Added SMSDRFix
Added DotFred's SoftKeyAppletEx
Added WiFiFoFum
Replaced Adobe Reader LE with PocketXpdf (smaller, lighter, and works as well in my tests. If you really want Adobe Reader LE it can be added back via CAB file)
Fixed Regional Settings to default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds now work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button now does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
Added 3 themes (.tsk) and 3 Ringtones from what was in the 1.0 release
Base ROM Information
This is straight out of the Faria ROM Kitchen V2 so its a "fixed" version of Faria's "the real thing" release that was then made vanilla and that I've added packages back into, and changed/fixed/enhanced.
ROM Version: 2.18.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 02/14/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: Faria V5.0
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM.
In addition to the changes mentioned above for what is different, here is a list of the other added apps that were also in the 1.0 release:
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR
HTC X-Button (turned on by default)
PIM Backup
Total Commander
GSFinder
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
mUn Keyboard Skin
WM5torage 1.73
dotFred TaskManager (with registry editor link)
BatteryStatus 1.04.202 Beta 3 Build 0195 (There are newer versions out now, but I had issues with battery drain and other problems so kept the same version as in the original release as it seemed to work well)
Smartskey 0.56 (DPAD is set to 0 in the .ini so the up and down scrolling works in the Phone dialer as expected in WM6)
10 Button CommManager with Black theme
New welcomehead.96.png (3rd splash screen) to match first two splash screens of the rom
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms and CID unlock, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!

Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release. G3 can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
Use BatteryStatus (its included in the rom!) to overclock (I use 260MHz), and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus to set a min of 143MHz and a Boost of 273MHz.
For Cingular users, I recommend you use the T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio. Newer Radio versions tend to have missed calls and SMS messages (just like with all other WM6 ROMs). G4 users, see the next post on flashing the Splash screens for a tip if you get errors trying to flash the 2.19 Radio ROM.
Credits
I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with Crossbow Reloaded v1.5:
Faria for providing both the base rom and the ROM Kitchen that I used to "cook" this ROM.
Funman for his fantastic PDF document on using the ROM Kitchen and for answering questions and fixing bugs in packages I hastily put together
ADB100 for finding and fixing some bugs in packages I worked on
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
Everyone that installed and gave feedback and support on the original Crossbow Reloaded version
Many others here at XDA-Developers.com that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together
While I'm releasing this, I fully realize this is really just a repackaging of the Faria Vanilla ROM that is included in Faria's ROM Kitchen. Other than a couple of slight modifications, I don't take credit for a full "cooking" (although this one is more customized than the first release). This is more like taking a pre-packaged dinner, and adding the spices and herbs that I wanted for my taste buds. Believe me, this was not that hard to do, and I did not spend the countless hours that full blown chefs spend in providing amazing base roms. So a HUGE thanks goes to the REAL chefs that support our community!

The Black 3 Add-on CABs file has installable cabs for Transcriber, VoIP, Adobe Reader LE, and Windows Live & Messanger (slightly newer version than in Crossbow Reloaded v1.5). I've tested all of these on my Wizard and they work fine. Also included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested).
NOTE: To fully setup VoIP, after installing the CAB from the above link, you also need to follow the steps found here:

Connecting WM6 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)

"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, I've attached a zip file with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup

RIght on Right on!
Holy [email protected]! I just loaded the older version now this...LOL. I guess I'm gonna have to reflash again.
<Another one of your admirers>
Flashing this ROM doesn't work with Vista while T-Mobile's Original ROM just works fine..... It gives an MFC error,neither yours nor Core 2.0 works with Vista...am I missing something?
hooray...?
i just got the last version all customified, now i gotta flash the new one!!
keep up the great work!
All installed nicely. This ROM appears very quick and comprehensive enough for me. Thank you mfrazz.
I had to be quick to stop all the T-mobile extended rom installing, after following your advice and sticking a stock ROM on 1st. Funny thing is though ExtROM is listed as faria V5.0 but it definately contains stock T-mobile cabs etc.
Thanks once again
MMS included?
Hey mfrazzz - did you include all of the Cingular network settings? Figured I'd ask ya, since you were going for a "complete" rom.

I didn't check before I installed the Cingular CAB, but I don't think so - it may not make T-Mobile users very happy!

Nope, its service provider generic. I just updated the 2nd post with lots of add ons (Cingular and T-Mo US settings have info there).
BTW: Unless there is some huge issue, I think this will be it for Crossbow Reloaded, until the new Faria ROM Kitchen V3 comes out. This one has felt really solid to me (at least for what I use my phone for. I'm sure others out there will find stuff I missed in areas I don't touch ).

Sorry, I don't have Vista and have no experience with it. There are threads around here where people have discussed issues (and fixes) for installing roms via Vista.

Yeah, pretty much the same with me. Just had the V1.0 version really humming and started work on putting together all of the fixes and changes I wanted to do to make this one. I've flashed more in the last 3 or 4 days than I think I've flashed since getting addicted in January.

Yeah, I abort the T-Mo extended rom running too (and you do have to be quick). Yeah, the Faria "Extended ROM' is really in the \Windows area (as I understand it) and not really a true extended rom (at least when I cook this I'm not putting anything in the extended rom). So yes, its expected you will see the official rom's cab files still sitting happily in the Extended ROM.
Great rom.
Awesome mrfrazzz....just awesome!! Keep up the great work, Crossbow Reloaded works great for my needs.
Thank you so much!
Thanks guys. Hoping someone can do a review of this rom for me after they've played with it for a bit. I'm seeing lots of downloads for it on rapidshare (and trying to get some alternative download sites for it going). I'd just like to get some feedback on it.
I have to say I'm really happy with how this one turned out. So far its been nice, quick, and stable and I still haven't overclocked my phone yet as it seems to perform nicely at the default 195MHz for me (I'll look at overclocking it again, but just haven't felt the need yet).
I hop this release will fix my odd problem i had with first release.
after my battery was completely empty i charged it, phone worked, after few minuts it just jammed and i needed to do a hardreset.
Anyway thnx for this 1 and ill post 2 HTTP mirrors when i have some time to upload them, think somewhere in the morning.
My first ROM
Thanks so much mfrazz and everyone, this was my first ROM for my Dopod 838 and I've had this thing for a year now. Never bothered to play around with it and was never really happy about its functionality until now... its ridiculous how much better it is compared to the manufacturer ROM.
Just so many lil things are better. Working great for me. Thanks a bunch!

mfrazzz:
Kudos to you for the hard work in prepping this ROM. I've always appreciated (and been a fan of) your patience and professionalism! Now you have taken the plunge into cooking. Congrats!
I am currently using Faria's RT and am seriously considering your Reloaded version as permanent replacement, but I have three issues that I am wondering if this ROM version addresses. These seem to affect all WM6 Roms for the Wizard and I'm curious to know if this ROM corrects them.
1. GPRS data connection fails to re-connect when recovering from a low-signal situation.
2. Device does not vibrate upon receipt of a new email message when it is in sleep mode and the ringer is set to vibrate.
3. Meeting requests sent via the device's invite attendees function do not display the correct date in the recipient's Outlook. They show only the date of creation/modification and not the actual date when the event is to occur.
On another note, have you found a way to send contacts and calendar items via email as opposed to MMS or SMS? I know about the workaround that involves initiating a send via MMS, aborting, and then sending the created file manually via email. Is this still the only way?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Awsome release I just wish it was more vanilla..this is the closest I can get to a GOOD rom with out all the extra apps. thanks again
Thanks!! looks like some good work cant wait to try it out!!!...as soon as I replace the power supply in my box....lol
3rd Party Apps?
I'm seriously considering this a my next flashing project (I run many 3rd party apps and it's always a pain to switch ROMs).
I remember when people were first releasing WM6 Wizard ROMs there was a lot of discussion about 3rd party apps not working. Is it still only a small subset of apps that work or can I expect most applications to now work fine?
Crossbow Reloaded v1.7
Smooth and Stable WM6 Computing for the Wizard
The latest incarnation of the Crossbow Reloaded series is again based on the Faria WM6 ROM that was part of the Faria ROM Kitchen. I've continued to modify the base rom to adjust and update it and work out a few bugs / features, but its still the stable base that makes Crossbow Reloaded a dependable WM6 version for the Wizard devices. One of the major changes in the cooking process of this rom is the use of edhaas ROM Packer Kitchen. I highly recommend using the tools in this to gain extra room and to overall speed up how some things work.
Just like with the previous releases, please remember that this ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted with many inputs from users of 1.0 and 1.5, so no complaints about why does this rom have this in it, or why didn't you put this in there. If you don't like how this rom is spiced, then go grab the Faria ROM Kitchen and make your own version. I am open to ideas on how to improve the rom (most of the changes in this version are direct results of ideas and comments posted in the Crossbow Reloaded 1.5 thread).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to perform at a better than acceptable level for myself, and so far Battery life seems just as good as any other WM6 ROM I've tried. If you have Battery Drain issues, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. Also note that I've been running this version for days and have not even used overclocking and found it to perform very nicely (so Overclocking should work very nicely if you feel the need).

Base ROM Information
This is my modified version of Faria's WM6 found in the Faria ROM Kitchen V2, so its a "fixed" version of Faria's "the real thing" release that was then made vanilla and that I've added packages back into, and changed/fixed/enhanced.
ROM Version: 2.18.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 02/14/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09

In addition to the changes mentioned above for what is different, here is a list of the other added apps that were also in the 1.5 release:
TodayAgenda
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR
HTC X-Button 1.0 (turned on by default)
PIM Backup
Total Commander
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
mUn Keyboard Skin
WM5torage 1.73

Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).

I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
For Cingular users, I STRONGLY recommend you use the T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio. Newer Radio versions tend to have missed calls and SMS messages (just like with all other WM6 ROMs). G4 users, see the next post on flashing the Splash screens for a tip if you get errors trying to flash the 2.19 Radio ROM.

Known Issues
After flashing, verify your phone keypad is there. If its not, you will need to try doing a "Clear Memory" or Hard Reset. If that doesn't work, then reflash the rom. I'm trying to find the cause of this now.
It has been found that this camera patch will help improve the camera app in lower light conditions.
Official Download Sites for Crossbow Reloaded v1.7
I'll update this list with mirrors as they become available
PLEASE READ THIS
There are known issues with this rom on SOME phones. The obvious issue is after flashing you will not have a phone keypad. Those using ShellTool are finding they have to flash their devices twice. Most missing the keypad can immediately reflash the rom a second time and then its fine. If you have issues, the look through the thread and see if its been reported already. I'm working on rebuilding this, but since its working for some people, I'm not pulling the links. Your decision to download and flash this rom is YOUR decision. If the rom causes you issues, you were warned and it was your decision. Don't PM me about issues.

Transcriber and more
The Black 3 Add-on CABs file has installable cabs for Transcriber, VoIP, Adobe Reader LE, and Windows Live & Messanger (slightly newer version than in Crossbow Reloaded v1.5). I've tested all of these on my Wizard and they work fine. Also included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested). Since Adobe Reader and VoIP are in 1.7 you won't need those, but for those wanting Transcriber, just run the cab on your phone and you can scribble away on your screen
VoIP Setup Instructions
Thanks to joaosousa for the following steps!
!!! Only Tested in a Wifi network !!!
Install the wm6voip.cab.
Restart your Wizard (Soft Reset).
Go to Start > Programs > Accessories and open SIPConfig Aplication.
Insert your VoIP account information. (See example below)
Restart your wizard (Soft Reset).
Now you should be able to use VoIP, check the status of the service in the today screen.

Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, I've attached a zip file with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link!

Info on Included Apps
MobileJustice v0.8
MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).
For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).

Could you give any info about available memory?
Hi and thank you! I've just flashed my QTek 9100 and everything is fine. Still can't activate VOIP from Comm manager even after configuring it with SIPConfig
But all other things are great!
Thank you again
Just flashed with the ROM. It looks nice so far. I haven't used Crossbow Reloaded before so I don't know the changes form earlier versions.
Here is a mirror for the people who dislike rapidshare like me Please do not share htis link outside these forums.
Hey mfrazzz, great work man. Got you a mirror:
Mirror
And please don't share this link outside the forums.
There ya go.
Cheers.
Thnx!
Will post few mirrors soon!
mirror here and here
Just flashed it, awesome ROM! Good call on changing the BatteryStatus, I had major drain issues with the newest version, also.

All... I'm going back and forth on a couple of things. I put Office 2007 in the latest build I'm running. I'll probably keep it in, but its huge compared to Office 2003 (another 2meg larger it appears). I thought with the latest RomPacker kitchen I could get Office 2K7 and PocketXpdf back in, but that just won't happen. If I go back to Office 2003 then I can get PocketXpdf (or maybe even AdobeReaderLE) back in the rom. Comments?

OK. I may be the only one voting this way, but I vote for office 2003.

I second the vote:
I know it's a lot of work building these ROMS but a Office 2003 version would be nice. Would it be hard to replace 2007 with 2003? You have the ROM built and I'm not talking about building a new one just making a change to the ROM you have.
The Vanilla Rom that Faria built was in part to reduce the amount of memory used.
Just my 2 cents, but thanks for listening.
Thanks for all your work from us that haven't ventured into the Kitchen.
FeedBack
So far so good...
Voip calls will only work after installing the wm6VoIP.cab
You can download it from here.
I have also installed ptravelAlarm, this is a great app that can be used to set your own alarms.

Ugh! Thats what I get for putting this out so late last night... I took a bunch of screen captures, then realized I needed to change something so reflashed again and lost all of that. I can't flash to a clean rom at the moment to get new captures, but after the flash there was 28meg free Program memory.
I'll update the first post with captures in a few hours.
@farrusete - Yep, thats what I figured on VoIP. Sorry, but I just couldn't seem to get past that.
@Kage and Wizzzard - Thanks for the mirrors, but I won't put those in the first post as that post tends to be posted in other forums
@Eximius - I'll update your mirror in the first post shortly
@nfollmer - thanks, and yes, major issues for me with the newer BS versions (it would just disappear off the screen sometimes)
@Cing 8125 - I'll consider a Office 2003 release, but it isn't quite as easy as you think since I completely replaced it with 2007. Would have to have a seperate code line (with how I have it setup now).
@joaosousa - Are you saying you have VoiP working? If so, please let me know the details so I can update the 2nd post with info. Thanks!
Voip
Yes, i have VoIP working.
I have just installed the wm6voip.cab i have posted in my previous post and after a restart i configured the SIP service using the SIPConfig Tool.
The only problem is that the sound comes out from the side speakers and not from the "normal call" speaker. But this seams to be a problem that all wizard's rom's have.
In SIPConfig i used my VoipBuster account.
Service name: Voip
SIP Server: sip.voipbuster.com
UserName: my_voipbuster_user_name
Password: my_voipbuster_user_password
I will install later on this afternoon. I need something stable mine is always locking up on me and I lose messages.
Hows A2DP working on this one?

Thanks, I was hoping it might be easy but no rush on my part if you do it.
Faria said he will release a v3. Maybe that would be a good time to do it. That is if you do your build again then.

Hey Kwill, i tried to sign up for that and i guess i ended up at the wrong place cause it was trying to make me pay i think. Maybe you could show me where i went wrong. I've been using youmail, which is awesome too, but i'm always wanting to try new stuff.
dumb question
I am not sure what "Power Down" and "Power Up" the kaiser means.
Do you pull the battery?
Do you just turn off the screen and then turn it back on?
Or is it some other way? Hold the turn off key?
Thanks for the new ROM.

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.

Hey everyone, with the help of this forum I have successfully upgraded the 8125 G4 to CRACING's WM 6.5 beautiful ROM. All is well except for the friggin MMS settings. The phone is on Cingular/Att. My question is: there are so many MMS settings floating around (my guess is that these values change over a period of time?) that I cannot seem to find a process/WAP configuration that allows MMS to be sent or received. Would you help a kind soul out? Thanks, and keep up the great work. Cheers
HTC (Cingular) Wizard 8125 G4
CID Unlocked
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0lip
GSM 2.25.11
OS 6.5.0.0
Done.
Here's the way to do it. If anyone has run into a similar problem, this should resolve it at least for T-Mo, Cingular, and AT$T subscribers.
This procedure worked without a hitch for both the 8125 and my HTC-S620.
FYI: It's a compressed PDF as the flat-file PDF exceeded the board's filetype attachment constraint.
