The Cure for the windows Marketplace blues - General Topics

After Installing one NRG's Energy roms I was happy as hell. There was minor problems which I was able to resolve but one Windows Marketplace. Today I made the effort to solve this too and I did and I'm passing the information on to everyone else that has this same problem so enjoy the marketplace in two minutes from now.

"Well the Diamond was running a stock ROM, on my phone however typically I flash a custom ROM after a while. With this ROM the Marketplace application would simply fail when checking for updates, stating it was unable to connect with an error something like this:
Marketplace could not connect to the server. Please check your connection and try again.
One of the checks the Marketplace application seems to make us having a look at your version information. A lot of custom ROMs put thier own string in, which seems to be upsetting it. To check, open up your favourite registry editor and make your way to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Versions and change Aku to .5.3.00
And then soft reset and give it a go.
I applied these setting, reset and hello Marketplace.
ON my Rom the AKu was set to NRG, I changed it to .5.3.00 reset and now life is complete.

Mine works
Hi all
I've just opened WM Market place and was notified of an update to MySpace App. It's installing now. The AKU version in the Registry is
5.0.82, which I believe is correct as per the WM build.
Many thanks

Looks like there was some kind of update to the Windows Marketplace app and it tried to download it but it keeps failing. I did the registry update previously and WM Marketplace was working fine until this update. Is there some other changes that need to be made?
Thanks.

Has anyone been able to use Windows Marketplace today on a flashed ROM?

ive been flashing my fone for ages, this is the only one that has ever caused a problem... got a link to something more specific then?
Looking GOOD!!
This is looking great!, thanks. I had problems with TNT 5.0 with some installed apps coming up with an error, it's reported in that thread.
Also had problems synchronizing with Outlook 2007 and Outlook connector to my msn account, not with this one. I don't now if it was the TouchFlow or not, this one does not have the TouchFlow.
Just an FYI, there is a duplicate folder that contains Office Mobile folder and just NotePad in it. You have already in the Start/OfficeMobile that application.
There is a folder in Programs that says Shortcuts, are these instaled or if you click on it they will install.
This is looking very good, what ever you have done you are on the rigth track!
I'm not a poster here just a flash junkie.
Extramely good job, Wifi works, BT works has far as I can see It's a good one!
Thanks!

thanks for your report, we have to use the drivers as modules to get the best performance.

Bugs/Errors
* Voip not working
* Alt/Tab reassign button
Any possibility of non RapidShare download? It could be slow, but it should be able to resume downloads. It is a bit too difficult to download big files from RapisShare over slow EDGE (it usually does not finish and RapidShare will not resume a broken download).

any mirror links on this wonderful rom
Run Every Day
Just an FYI
The "Run Every Day" Program is not working correctly, Something about "Not signed" and/or "One of it's componets connot be found".
Never used this "Avanced Config Tool" before, nice program!
This is not a Blotted Rom, just the necesary apps for day to day usage, good choice!
Installed CVSD_for_WM6_v1.2_build_61226_1.cab and works great, no problems so far.
Still poking around this "Beta", compared to most of the WM6 roms here this is not a Beta this is a RTM.
Thanks,
VoIP - all screwed up?
I don't know what you have done in this ROM but I can no longer install my VoIP settings via the .cab file I have used on all other ROMs, I just get 'Installation of voip-settings.cab was unsuccessful'. Also Schaps VoIP config tool aborts with an error when you try and apply the settings
An unexpected error has occurred in SetupVoIP.exe.

where can I download a clean WM6 or 6.1?

Tested a couple of cooked roms on my device and want to see what a clean wm6 or 6.1 would be like...
thanks
IMHO, the closest you'll get to "clean" is TNT's Official 6.1, its super fast, and has almost nothing on it. just my 2cents
currently using TNTs TNT.19199 Official Wizard ROM
the email settings are impossible to configure... I'm trying to figure out if its a cooked rom issue or a wm6 issue
issues with gmail
if I choose pop it wont let me select to NOT download attatchments...
if I choose Imap it deletes the emails from my pc when I check them on my phone
and yes I tried all possible walkarounds... trying to fool the setup by giving it a non gmail name.... nothing works... I've spent 2 days on it now...
I wish it would just let you set up your email manually....ehhh

shall i upgrade to 6.1

i have the xda orbit 2 on wm 6 with a lot of programs .ie,,copilot 7 ,spb .photos ,,will i lose these all ..i realey dont know what to do for the best shall i go for the 6.1 upgrade [from the o2 site] or what please advise

you will lose all of the data that is stored on the phone itself, what is stored on the memory card will not be erased.
As for the programs you will have to reinstall them and co pilot remember to deactivate this etc before upgrading all in the page when you download the rom from o2.
Also it is a rom update, from 6.0 to 6.1, the improvements are minimal apart from the speed improvements which should make it worth it for you to do if you want to spend the time reconfiguring it that is.
Hope that helps
You should NOT upgrade.
I did, and now I have only problems which I didn't have while on 6.0. You can find my posts in this forum.
On the other hand, if you have problems now, try upgrading.
But upgrade was, IMHO, my worst mistake.
yeh but the difference is that your upgrade is the htc leaked rom that appeared on here??? htc still havent realeased the full 6.1 upgrade for the polaris, if they have then it slipped by me.
The one the person is talking about is the o2 6.1 upgrade which i have been running for the last month and had no problems...yet but thats the same with anything it can always happen.

There are a couple of advantages to updating. You can easily google or wikipedia for details on how WM6.1 has changed. What's not mentioned is the compatibility you get with the newer HTC software. What I did was install the new rom, delete Opera 8.65, and install the Opera 9.5, the new HTC Album, new HTC Audio Manager, and new HTC Youtube app. Its like I have a new phone! But w/o many of the instabilities and bugs that cooked ROMS offer. Furthermore, it definitely cured my Xperia upgrade desires.
Worth noting is that yes, you will lose all information on the phone. So either move stuff to your storage card, or back it up on the PC. (Both of which you should be doing anyhow). Old text messages, and call history can be backed-up and recovered using the Sprite Backup that was included on your original CDs. In fact, I highly suggest making a complete backup using Sprite so that you can easily revert to your old ROM and restore your previous files/settings w/o any hassle if you have any issues with WM6.1.
Known Bugs for the official WM6.1:
-Touch scrolling doesn't work well in the Programs Folder accessed from HTC Home
-The music tab in HTC Home cannot be enabled by registry edits
Solution:
-Use either the Start Menu Programs folder or replace the Programs Folder with something like TouchLaunch
-Either don't use the Music Tab a la original configuration or install the latest copy of HTC Home by Schen w/o the brightness fix
I wish I had never upgraded to WM 6.1, with WM 6.0 my Orbit 2 worked perfectly well, never froze and Bluetooth worked with my Parrot hands free even to the point that the CoPilot voice came out of the speakers. Since upgrading I have experienced a number of freezes, the Bluetooth connects when it wants to and even when connected half the time it will not transfer a call, sometimes placing a call 5 minutes after it was dialled. I have been looking for an official O2 WM 6.0 ROM to downgrade to see if that cures the problems because I cant see any improvement in speed and most of the other "features" of 6.1 are of no real use, the threaded SMS being one I find most annoying.
@ chris10230
My signature says "Official" WWE ROM. Yea, from HTC site, when it went public! So no beta or leaked. You must have missed us yelling "New ROM is out". But that's no big deal.
@ Mace
Downgrading to WWE 6.0 did not solve same problems as your's that I (still) have. So I think we're stuck. Hopefully something will go seriously wrong with my Polaris, so I'll replace it while still under guarantee...
@ both of you, find more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411883. Please read posts from page 13... posts prior to that are just guessing or talking about problems with download/validation of device serial number...

Although it is a little offtopic here, you can disable the threade SMS. I couldn't stand it, but fortunately there is a solution to disable it:

I had upgraded to 6.1 official and also various cooked. but nothing beats 6.0 - I have 62MB free memory even after installing all my required prog's have even got SPB shell and Greatbal's manila theme - best of all world's
Am now on Panosha's Butterfly and enjoying the peace, tranquility
6.1 - give's you memory leak's, battery drain and most important eats most of the available memory due to all the new features like M2D, M3d, 3d Drivers etc...
Now if only I could figure out if Manila is installable on v6 then I have everything I need !

Polaris - GPS unit missing !?

Hello !
I have a Polaris/TC with TomTom7 installed. It has worked fine but
suddenly when I try to use TomTom I got the message "GPS-unit missing"
I have downloaded "quick_GPS" several times, done soft reset, checked that
internal antenna is used in TT etc. but no luck !
Please help me with some ideas for toubleshooting, I realy liked my TomTom !
/Staffan
Hm, could be hardware error... or, hopefully, borked COM settings in TomTom.
So first try COM settings (check what settings TomTom requires).
Then try some other NAV software (any would be good, even freeware - there's a lot of them. Google Maps might do).
Then you might try pain-in-the-ass option of hard reset.
If after that it's not working, then only repair remains...
Thanks for answer my question.....
Im always in a hurry, so I uppdated my TC to wm 6.1 and after that
TomTom decided to work again ! (donĀ“t ask me why)
BUT ! as an old guy (56) its not so easy to remember every thing, I forgot to
backup my phone...and my numbers to the sim-card
So I have had a nice evening recover all phone-numbers.....
I have another issue, I have eraesed the standard TomTom from
TC and installed a better one.
Now I how to get the shortcut for TT on the start/main screen ??
Ah... I'm not much younger (49), but as IT manager I ALWAYS do backup...
You have not erased TT (uninstalled, temporary... since it's part of official ROM. So it's gone untill next hard reset).
I use standard HTC Home plugin, so I added my GPS software (iGO) as one of the shortcuts on tab 3.
However, you can use Windows Commander Mobile to easily put shortcut to anything practically anywhere.
Or you can simply select TT and add it to Start menu instead of something else...
If I may ask, where did you get you version of WM 6.1 (HTC, XDA-Devs etc)? If XDA, which particular one of the various "cooked" (I think thats the term..) ROMs. I have been looking at upgrading recently and would value your opinon on the version you are using..
Cheers,
IJ
My WM 6.1 is from HTC site.
Since my device was never SIM-locked, I was able to upgrade existing 6.0 to 6.1.
I have heard that most SIM-locked devices were not allowed to upgrade from HTC site.
Have not yet tried cooked ROMs...
My opinion of upgrading to 6.1 is stated somewhere on this forum... just search for my posts...

[Q] Titan not working correctly after forced update to WP7.8

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me!
I had a Titan which I successfully updated to WP7.8 earlier this year using the 78er tool. Unfortunately I dropped that phone and smashed the screen but my insurance company just sent me a new handset so, naturally, the first thing I did was attempt to update to 7.8 again.
I realise now that I should probably have let the default WP7.5 ROM fully update through Zune before running 78er but, alas, I did not. Now, since updating to WP7.8, some aspects of my phone's functionality are working fine but other aspects are not.
For instance I cannot access a variety of settings: the WiFi menu, the accounts menus (email, Facebook, etc), the lock + wallpaper menu, mobile network menu and others. Every time I select one of these nothing happens.
I don't know what to do to resolve this - I cannot re-run 78er as it tells me that it has already updated, so I can only assume that I need to flash an earlier (stable) ROM and then re-run 78er again. But, I must confess I don't know how to do this.
Something that puzzles me is that the OS is otherwise operating normally.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks.
[RESOLVED]
RESOLVED!
After some searching I discovered that this was due to my selecting the wrong language during the Seven-Eighter update (I selected US English instead of UK English). It seems this is quite a common problem and the solution was to use Cab Sender to send the relevant UK English files to my phone from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
I had to start from the first update and work my way through. It didn't start working until I had updated to "WP 7.8 OS UPDATES (7.10.8779.8 - 7.10.8779.8)"
Patience is necessary!
