i installed the wm6 crossbow rom on my MDA today and configured it as much as i could with 2 problems left.
1.i want to configure my Tmobile MMS but there is no option for it. When i click messaging the only options i have are Text messages and my email. when i click menu there is nothing that says MMS configuration like all these intructuons are telling me im supposed to see.
2. i cant seem to assign my camera button to actualy open the camera and snap a picture with it. in the assign buttons program there is no camera option.
anyone have a solution to either of these?
If you use the most beautiful rom, you won't have these problems.
It's my personal favorite, after trying pdaviet and the vanilla version (never tried the underground version).
id love to but all im seeing is a rom that says its based on a wm5 rom that is customized. unless maybe i am looking in the right direction and dont realize it? could this be the rom im looking for cuz im not looking for a customized ver. of wm5. is this the right rom?
solution
I did post a solution.

If you are referring to Most Beautiful Edition, it is a WM6 ROM and from what I understand based on the Orwell one. Its not just a customized WM5.
Faria is supposed to be releasing a WM6 ROM in a few days. Also a new Underground is due.
As for your issues, if you check the Underground threads, MMS and Camera has been discussed.
i use .5 Underground have camara fix and MMS composer in Program -> Install folder
Looking forward to improve the look and the usability of my Tornado and after that I saw the Com. Mngr. window of my brand new Orbit 2 (HTC Cruise), I decided to gather some information about how to port the HTC Wings (SP) Communication Manager to my old and faithfull Tornado and from all that search, i did a cab file to realize all this.
Maybe this could be implemented too at the upgrade of any WM6 versions from vjgrace, NiTroGenious, nncuong.
The down listed cab file upgrade the actual ComMgr to the new one from HTC Wings at the english language. See pictures below.
UPDATE to COMM Color
The new COMM Colors is faster due a new *.dll file, it does improve the application's speed, this one as well as the previous one, only shows 6 different functions/connections, but you can choose your favorites to display by editing the registry, all the icons to the functions are available:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
From 0 to 10 you can select at the first entries (0-5) the application/connections of your preference.
The standard entries after install are:
0: FlightMode
1: Phone
2: Bluetooth
3: WLAN
4: IR
5: DataDisconnection
This looks hawt!
Nicer than the one that never matches my WM black scheme.
I'll try this tonight before I flash...
Any chance you can port over the contacts look too?

THX Exitao, how you mean to port over the contacts....???

When I look at Wings and Elf, the contacts look quite different than for Tornado. I know a bit of it has to do with them having more screen real estate.
But the scheme and layout look slicker.
So looks by HTC Cruise
I've tried it and it works well. Functionally it works the same as the others I've used. Aesthetically, it's a nice change. The "toggled" indicator light is cool and it matches the WM6 black theme that I love.
The Data Connection was greyed out, but I don't have a GPRS connection setup so that may be it. (On an aside, I just reinstalled my PC OS on my main PC, and the default spellcheck for Firefox is US "English" that tries to tell me that "greyed" is misspelt; it even tells me that misspelt is "misspelled". And here I thought the US was supposed to have been colonised by educated people... )
The comm manager has a flaw. However, the same flaw exists in EA's ROM and I'm sure Nitro's and vjgrace's...
Clicking exit, doesn't actually close the app(let). It just minimises it so the back button won't recall it. Celetask finds the process lallygagging around.
(I know this isn't your fault. Just a peeve of mine. Exit should mean exit. I hate teases. Man, I'm just so excitable tonight. I wonder if that has anything to do with why I have this nick?)

The Cruise, aka Touch Cruise, aka Polaris should look like the Touch because it's allegedly a variant (but so varied as to have it's own name and forum )
Here's some screenies from the Touch:
http://www.imobile.com.au/images/phone_reviews/htc_touch/touch-screenshots01.jpg
I'm considering getting this one [the Touch], as the Polaris will cost so much and I'm already seeing it locally on cragslist for $300-350.
This newer interface, which is common among the newer models, looks more like an interface, as opposed to a mini OS. Disguising WM maybe a smart move on the part of HTC.
The above pics only has the my people list, not the regular contacts. I can't seem to find a pic right now. But it looks like the comm manager, or the song list.
sorry, wrong posting...

Yes, the files CommManager.exe, CommManagerRes.dll and CommManager.exe.0409.mui will be overwritten, if you uninstall the cab you will get your old COMM Manager back.

...Ah ok thanks QTEK for the response...So before I will try this is this stable version what I mean no bugs?Im using WM6 ROM HTC VANILLA by ericjm....if I will uninstall this the old COMM MANAGER of HTC VANILLA will be the old one that you mean?
Tried it and works fine on my SDA. I will leave it in for a few days to see if I like it. It does fit in with my black color scheme well, though. Thanks for this!!

yes
The one that it installed over. i.e. the one that came with your ROM, unless you have installed something else over that one, in which case, I hace no clue, but do tell us how it works out ;-)
Looks very nice works fine but really slows down my phone which is SP5 running vjgrace 3.5 ROM.
Next question.....how do I know this is the cause ?
Removed and phone has speeded up.
Just thought Iw ould let you know.

Well, I don't really had that problem on my Tornado, I was using the same ROM version too, after I have updated to the last 3.6 version and nothing happens, may be you have a low program memory on your phone.

What do you mean by this? Too much installed on ROM, so low space? Something else using RAM?

search for threaded sms, there are some threads about the app ripped from a palm rom that give the same thing.
Is there any way to re-name "sms/mms" to "Text Messages" ?
i installed the shogun threaded app to change the name, but that app is buggy.

I don't know the answer, but you can try posting this question in Sleuth's ROM thread.
While I don't know the answer to this either, it seems like it applies more to the Arcsoft software than the Rom its running on. The ATT Tilt ROM was labeled Text Messaging while the majority of the cooked roms are labeled MMS/SMS. This should probably be retitled and posted in the software section personally. Though I am Curious about the answer to this as well if it exists.
can you test this out. Not sure if it's going to work.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS
FriendlyName value to your own string. If it works. Let me know.
this one is simple.....although its been covered many times, i would know what keywords to put in if i needed to search for it. change the following key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS
"FriendlyName"="Text Messages"
thanks alot!
Hi Guys, I had my Raphael for 2 weeks but only just found out about XDA-Dev
I love the device esp. once I put the new Romeos Rom on it , but the one thing that I can't put up with is Contact Manager!
I have found a replacement contact manager called Fingerfriendly, but it resides in the app area of windows mobile and won't launch when i choose all contacts from touchflo.
Any ideas how I can get it to do this? Or if there is another contact manager that will intergrate better with touchflo.
Thanks
