Well after much searching for instructions on how to install Swype and get it working without the various errors and crashing i have decided to write up this little tutorial... 'Why do we need a tutorial?' you ask. well since my first attempt at installing Swype i have gone thorugh 2 hard resets and a new Rom.
I have also found a 'fixed' cab, after attempting to use a cab rip from the tmous version and screwing over my phone.
Some of these swype cabs are a bit buggy and can cause temporary errors in your registry that screw-up anything that is encrypted, this includes saved passwords for applications and more importantly the windows unlock password.
This may not happen in your installation but it's better to be safe than sorry and can be enabled after we have finished installing.
So before we even begin installation navigate your way to Settings > Security > Phone lock and then untick the box that says 'Prompt if phone unused for...'
Download the fixed-Swype cab if you have not done so already, i have to say thanks to whoever it was that made this, and is available here on xda-forums.
Cab:
Fixed-Swype-HTCBlackBird-3.9.10.10.5032.CAB
(No i will not put the fileup for public download, just search for it).
connect your HD2 to your computer and copy the cab over to the device into which ever folder you like.
now pick-up your phone and using your prefered file explorer navigate to the directory you just placed the cab in and open it.
During install you MUST make sure that you select to install the software to your 'Device' and NOT to the storage card.
Once the installation is complete your phone will prompt for a restart, select cancel and return to your file explorer.
Now navigate to the internal memory and then to the Windows directory in here will be a new folder named Swype, select it and then from the menu select copy.
Now go up out of the Windows directory but remaining in the internal storage navigate to Program Files.
Inside the Program Files directory paste the Swype folder.
Now perform a soft reset and swype should now be succesfully installed, to test swype open a blank message or word document, when the standard keyboard opens, click the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the menu bar and select Swype.
Enjoy.
Great write up. Must admit i had many problems installing the v3.9 and had to hard reset to fix it. Your last steps about cancelling the restart and copying the folder is what is different.
Must admit though, i just installed the v2.0 from the Omnia and found it typed faster (this is compared to when i did have v3.9 working). Also with 3.9 the number selection when holding down a certain key hardly ever worked, works all the time with 2.0 so i just stuck with that. With a skin it looks not bad either even though 3.9 does have the better appearance etc.
may it also work for my touch pro 2 ?
Thanks in advance
There is actually a new version of Swype floating around... installing it seems to be pretty easy. And the bugs of the version which is mentioned above are solved, too. Just google for "IME_Swype_3_19_20_20_6343_0.cab" and you will find it.

I wouldn't like to say as i only have tried this on the HD2, but as long as you back-up and are prepared to re-enter all your passwords you could always try.

thanks for the info i may have to check it out if i get a chance.
There are actually 4 versions of swype floating around for use on the HD2.
The Omnia II version: works well but keys are small and just looks too plain.
The fixxed 3.9.10.10.5032 blackbird edition: Ripped from TMOUS. Much more pleasing to the eye. Long presses do not always work. (ex: holding for numbers). It changes your phone ID to T-Mobile_Leo. This it what locks you out of your phone if you have it passworded and causes you to hard reset. Disable password before installing. It also destroys settings for email and router pass keys. It also deletes passwords for installed applications like Resco and SPB. Also had to run through internet connection setup again. And who knows what else.
Another version of 3.9.10.10.5032 by LordYuz: This has been fixxed to not change your phone ID. Won't destroy your passwords or lock you out of your phone. Long presses still do not work well.
IME_Swype_3_19_20_20_6343_0: Also ripped from new TMOUS HD2. Again this version changes your phone ID and will cause damage as stated above. Not sure if long presses are fixxed with this version or not. Hoping LordYuz gets his hands on this version and fixxes it too.

I was of the same opinion but maybe its in my head but im sure it works better. It just seems to respond quicker, flow a bit better.
I also installed the Lessro skin, looks much better, better than the stock 3.9 in my opinion, dont even notice the keys appearing smaller and at the end of the day its a straight install, no special instructions required at all and the long key presses actually work so its practicality vs appearance..........i know what i prefer..............thats until of course they actually release a proper fully working 3.9 with all features working properly.

where can i get the omnia version? i want to switch because theres a problem with the swype i have, it would ask for double confirmation of one word even when nothing is checked to ask for confirmation.

Refer to my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684198&page=2 post #12
whilst v2.0 (omnia version) is floating around everywhere (google easily finds it), this is the newer released v3.9 by LordYuz which fixes the previous 3.9. works great. It is larger to install but go into the swype folder in the Windows directory, del the tutorial, its almost 10mb alone to save space
I used almost all of them including the fixed version ended up hard reseting twice,until I came across swype V.2 which I am enjoying it now a lot.
I have version 6343 with the Eleganicia ROM on WM 6.5.5 base. It works perfectly with long press, but the allignment is off due to the bigger taskbar. Any ideas on how to adjust it?

LordYuz updated his Swype version to the current TMOUS Swype rip.
Works perfect with all fixes and it doesnt change the model id of your phone

You probably used this version 3.9.10.10.5032.
Are you sure you tried the newest being Swype 3.19.20.20.6343.
Im using this no problem in terms of changing the phone ID, passwords etc and others have commented the same.
anyone has an ideea how to have romanian language?
So far, Swype is only 5 languages... to implement any other is not an easy job. Hopefully Swype will officially make an offer soon, with more languages. I think many people would buy it if the price is reasonable.

The omnia version does not lag when using htc messaging's conversation mode (with +50 message in a conversation). I installed the new stock ROM and this new swype version fixes the long press key problem, but it still lags pretty bad. My first question is, how do you check the swype version on the HD2? Secondly, does the newest swype version fix the lag problem?

Agreed, when i used to use the 2.0 (omnia version), it was simple and fast, just didnt look as good without a skin and the keys were a bit smaller.
Although in saying that, i have just flashed with a new aftermarket ROM which has the omnia swype already cooked in, v2.0 and it runs sweet.
Few days prior when i ran the latest swype i didnt have any lag on a stock 1.48 rom not sure why you got a lag problem. I also have hundreds of sms's but it worked good for me, i liked the new version as it just seemed built for our phones, larger keys, sound and vibration feedback, long key presses and even deleting words holding the backspace key down erased words etc. Overall very nice.
To check swype version, go to settings, personal, input and when you select swype, there is an about button top left. tells you there.
I have 4 questions...basically how to reset swype and how to guess which version is running.
QUESTIONS:
1.
how can I know which swype version i am running? from which menu? or settings or where?
2. How to install a dictionary, for example ITALIAN Dictionary? (I have the Italian cab, but installation does not work)
I have two HD. The old one HTC-HD2, NOT T-mobile (running an old 6.5.3 cooked rom) has a modified swype in which sometimes (50% of times) long pressing does NOT result in a number to be typed. But it has ITALIAN language.
My new HD2 t-mobile has probably a omnia version (smaller keys) and long press ALWAYS work. Unfortunately it only has only ENG and SPANISH dictionaries, NOT ITALIAN. I have tried to install Italian cab (following a thread here) but it is NOT recognized as a legitimate dictionary.
3.
How to reset swype? In fact after 3 or more months, the OLD HD2 has this problem: I have accidentally hit od and i3 and press space. these 2 mistyped words are now part of the ENGLISH dictionary, right? then what happens, every time i type OF I get OD (as default choice) and same for IF: I get i3...so I wish to reset the internal dictionary. How to do it?
4.
The NON-omnia swype, in the 3rd screen (click 123-SYM key 3 times), has an option "SELECT ALL", The Ommia-version of swype does NOT have this option. Is there a way to add in omnia-version of swype?
5.
The english dict has this word TYPO. Each time I swype TO the system ALWAYS enter TYPO...how to correct this behaviour? I wish to eliminate TYPO from dictionary. there are instructions on how to do. but these instructions do not work...
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
I have tried to turn back to defaults, under options, but no improvements...if someone knows how to reset to original settings, I would really appreciate...
Thanks
Saulo

After a long wait....
mesoftware have annouced today the new PhonePlus II
www.mesoftware.biz
As i was the first beta tester for this product, im very proud of what they have done....completely different app.
some of the things they added (taken from their site):
* Now you can assign the GREEN button to PhonePlus!.
* Dialing within the PhonePlus!
* Picture dialing is now easier to use and configure.
* Added "+" for long distance calls.
* Added "#" key.
* Added Call Log feature.
* Added Pictures on the main screen.
* Added the abillity to call speed dials using long button press.
* Added language support for German and Hebrew.
* changed the skin to a better skin and much faster to use.
* Fixed some bugs, and improved software stability.
They are mentioning that the PhonePlus II is only for WM2003 for now and that they are working on a PhonePlus II for the WM2002 (i told them that i dont think there are a lot of poeple still using 2002)
I think they had really done it this time.

And is it upgradeble from Phone Plus 1???? I bought that one!! And was entitled for free updates for at least 1 year!
YES....thats what they told me !!
Isnt that great?
Would be really nice if you had the option to send SMS to the contact
The real question is: Can you answer a call with phone plus, or do you stall have to look at the built-in dialer anytime some-one calls you?
Also I would like to see it designed so that it can be used only with the phone keys and d-pad, like on a normal phone.
Surur
yes, it would be nice if they added a feature for sending sms too...we can have the whole world i guess
surur - you can handle all phone features with the phone keys and the D-pad (for example, if you press left on the D-pad you enter Photo dial , if you press right, you enter Call log)
about the incoming call, i didnt test it yet, i think the incoming call launces the default phone.
i think its the best software yet, and believe me that i have tried them all (wont mention their names so they wont kill me )
In every app we will find something we want that there isnt...
The default dialer is invoked for an incoming call.
It is a bit buggy and with a few limitations (I am preparing a list now) but I think I may end up going with it.
I tried it, and uninstalled it very soon.
It lacks some basic features found in the built-in dialer. You can not start the speaker phone, and, as mentioned earlier, incoming calls go to the built-in dialer.
Surur
Ive been using phoneplus 1 in a long time and it was a great sftware.
i dont think i can go back today and use the default phone which lacks a lot of features.
and in phoneplus 2 they did amazing things, i loved the green button the most.
by the way - IT DOES have speaker ability, all you have to do is press and hold the green button
i dont think there is a better dialer today than phoneplus, including the default, and i wish to hand it to the develpers.
as the person above me said - there will always be someone who will say :"but it cant fly a plane, or make coffee"
im waiting for phoneplus 3 (hehehe) already, hope they really will implement SMS ability, but still - AMAZING software.
Hi
When I read, that you can assign the greeen button I instantly bought it, which is totaly noy my normal habit.
I still think it is a great dialer... BUT
I figured out, the green button will not work (be default) on a non englich version, there is a bug as they hardcode some paths :-( (\program files where on my machine it's \progamme )
I was able to fix it with a cab-manager and some hacking, but they should fix it by default...
If a detailed explaination is need I can post it later

Are you sure?
I know that they have already did that...
maybe you have downloaded an old release or something? i know that they made it generic, and they even said that now they can put any language support they want.
Yes, I guess I am sure.
I got the download link from pocketgear, which should be accurate.
It's version v2.00
It installs without problems, but when you want to assign the green button, they place a link in autostart, this link linked to \program files instead of \programme.
I modifed the link to \programme, but then when it try to start the dialer my hole machine crashed.
I used cab-manger to hardcode the install dir to \program files (which was generic), but then the autostart-link was not placed automatically. Lukily I still had the link available from the previouse install so I did this manual and now it works.
That my experience from last night...
Alex
worked with my german xda2 on latest official rom without problem... but only way to get rid of the green button thingy is to delete the shortcut in autostart folder manually...
I do not want to get ride of the green button, I WANT the green button to call PhonePlus.
Either I really got an old buggy version from PocketGear ( which would really really suck) or their is something else.
I my case it was so simple, that there can't be some misunderstanding :
The PhonePlus got installed under \Programme\PhonePlus
The Link in the Autostart folder pointed to \Program Files\PhonePlus
That's all, simple and wrong
Alex
best thing is i didn't had to manually add/remove/paste anything to get it working. just installed, selected the green button in settings, made a softreset and it worked. but after testing for a while i wanted to get back to the standard dialer and noticed that the only way is to manually delete the shortcut in autostart folder and softreset...

There was a prerelease version that had this bug. The PhonePlus developers and I went through that in an online chat, and they fixed it immediately.
Later, I downloaded the 2.0 release version through a link from their website, and in the version I got the bug was definitely fixed. So, either you got an old version somehow, or their detection routine that decides if it's "program files" or "Programme" fails on your device - but that sounds very unlikely.
You may want to try re-downloading and re-installing PhonePlus. Before you do that, you should uninstall the previous version both from your PDA and your PC. The uninstaller somehow fails to delete the files from the PC (PDA is fine), so just to be sure, do that manually. Also, make sure ppcap.exe and ppcap.lnk are gone from your PDA (the same bug was also in ppcap.exe).
Cheers
Daniel
It is working now with the little hacking I did, so I leave the system now untouched.
I still wonder how I could get an old version.
I went through the purchase at PocketGear.com and as far as I remember used the link they provided me, so the fault might be on their side...
anyway, if it's fixed it's OK with me... I still like the usability of this program... it exactly what I want.
have fun
Alex
I bought PhonePlus 1 long time ago and used it for a while without any problems. BUT....
I was so happy that PhonePlus II was released, downloaded and installed it right away... and.... may be it is only problem with my I-Mate... any way...
1. Using Green Button either Icon was calling for PhonePlus II, which was terminated in 1 second after its appearance.
2. After assigning Green Button I couldn’t call original dialer ANYMORE
So I had to remove it...
Any ideas would be appreciated...
To carlos66 - while your Beta-Testing have experienced anything like that???
noviur -
yes, it was on a really old release.
im guessing some of you got their hands on some pre-releases.
the green button works fine on my end, and on my friends devices as well.
i dont know why someone here said that they need to delete it manually, you just need to unassign the green button from the options menu, press OK and then make a soft reset.
is it possible you didnt make a soft reset?
anyhow, i will try to get the developers attention for this thread, maybe they can solve your problem.
tadzio - it seems that you have a conection with this company, maybe you can beep them.
Thank you, Carlos666...
I downloaded directly from ME Software web site, so point their attention on release version on thier "Downloads" folder
Can you send me the working one, please? Is it not going to be a bit of problem for you?
Thaning you in advance.
First of all, I'd like to acknowledge the excellent job that mattk_r and nottoosmart did in creating the base Pandora rom and kitchen on which this work is based.
I imported their stuff into my Rom-Packer kitchen, made a few minor tweaks, compressed a few packages, and wanted to see how much I could get into a single build. I was pleased to find that I could get in everything I wanted (and a bit more!).
My target audience here are folks who just want a rom that does it all, and quickly. This is in the style of Faira's roms, in that it is packed full. It has all the base WM6 apps: Transcriber, Enterprise, Entertainment, WindowsLive, WindowsLive Search, Office 2007 (includes Onenote Mobile), VoIP, SqlCeMobile, MediaOS (Windows Media Player), Camera. I have left out/removed error reporting, autoupdate, and sqm. All of which make no sense for a custom rom, and are in my opinion accidents waiting to happen. Catalog I left out just because its a shopping portal, and I imagine you can just visit on the web if you want.
3rd party apps:
Adobe Reader LE, ArcSoft MMS, Notepad, Today Agenda, Battery Status, HTC X Button 1.0, PHM Registry Editor, PIM Backup 1.9, Pocket RAR, Shut XP, Redial, SMS Backup, Task Manager, Total Commander, WM5torage
I also threw in the newly released HTC Audio Manager, which is a very nice audio player.
There are two versions:
One with Voice Speed Dial, One with MS Voice Command.
Registry tweaks:
Thin scrollbar, disabled security, 802.11g, increased ring tone, edge icon, keyboard icon. I also enabled increased file and glyph caches, as for me these help performance noticeably, and there is plenty of ram.
Speaking of ram, I get 29.93 mb free on reboot of the VC version. I imagine it may be a tad higher for the SD version. If you don't like a particular app, just don't use it. It's not taking up any of your storage space anyway! If you want a few more mb of ram, you can disable the file cache settings manually, but I don't think its worth it personally.
Issues:
This rom is based on mUn's latest release, which still has some issues to be worked out, mainly Flash Player and A2DP, but check on the Pandora or mUn rom threads for tweaks and fixes for these as they become available.
Edit: I am advised by mattk_r that a2dp may work. Let me know. (I don't use it.)
For those that need these features now, Faria or Core-based roms currently work. If people are interested in "Packed" versions of those, let me know. Or cook your own!
This is an OS only flash.

going to try it now, looks good, thanks for posting it
It Looks Nice bro
I will try it and get back
Thanks
Seems pretty fast, I only had 27.16MB of ram free with nothing extra installed or running, not even activesync.
Everything seems great except the GPS icon tweak isn't preset and there aren't any extra themes (Black) added already.
None of them are big deals since they can be fixed, but just saying for a "fully-Loaded" Rom, they less tweaking needed after the fact, the better.
Thanks for the comment. If you have a bundle or link that you'd recommend let us know. Or post a cab for people to install.
I could put some more stuff in the Voice Speed Dial version, but the Voice Command version is close to the edge. So to keep the features the same, I'll probably just leave them as is for now. Down the road as my "Packer" becomes more sophisticated, I may be able to squeeze more in, but for now this is about the state of the art.
I don't know why your ram numbers are different. Mine were higher. Still, 28 meg should be plenty to work with I think.
I'm afraid there will be some tweaking to be expected. We are creating things that aren't perfect. I appreciate your help.
Best wishes,
a little error with voice dailing with headset
Nice Rom, surely a fast one but
when tried to dial with the voicedailer thru my bt headset nothing happened...
i getting used with the fact that voicedailing gives problems with some roms but this one is easily to handle:
From HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\btagext.dll" (string)
To HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll" (string)
and it works....
still a nice rom....
Loaded it this morning cleanly. As others have said it is nice and quick. My old ROM had been in for all of four weeks so it was time for a change
I had some issues with AS on first sync. My favorites and most of my ring tones didn't come across even though it showed Synchronized. I re-synced and all came across bar my tsk files and the notes. With the notes, I have two copies of each. One is the original from the PC sync along with another pre-fixed "Changed copy of" in the filename. Never seen this before.
It does seem fully loaded with one small omission : the Wireless Today plug-in. Ill find it and add it in but perhaps this could be considered for a future up-issue. A small quibble and easy to fix.
Downloading now...
Hello!! Im just downloading your ROM, i look just like what i install all over when i hard reset my device so i will give it a try. However i thing there is another PDF reader out there that many claim is faster and lighter, i dont remember the name. I will look out for it and spread out the word.
I have some questions:
Does this ROM has has the Camera v3.0?
Does this ROM has the bluetooth explorer enabled and working?
How much is the battey consuption and idle processor 4% ?
Best regards !!
Thanks pdamol for the fix.
Tpalik, yeah, unfortunately activesync acts up at times with reflashing. I don't think its this rom. I have a whole hocus-pocus routine I go through now to avoid duplicate entries when changing roms. I've had thousands of notifications, and thousands of contacts before, which really made me panic. Hope you didn't have too many notes to delete.
In the future, try deleting the sych relationship from both your PC and the mobile device before reflashing. Then re-synching, adding only one category at a time, and watching carefully to see that each time the additional category is actually synched. Thats helped me.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
Hope you both enjoy the rom!

Yes, pdaXplore is out there, but there are mixed reviews about whether it is actually lighter on resources when running. (It is a slightly smaller .exe) So, I went with the standard, since I could fit it in. If you like the other one you could install it too.
I think it is Camera 3
Not sure about the bluetooth explorer.
Idle processor is 0-2% with occasional bounces as the system does something or other. Battery life should be good.

Thats it ! pdaXplore. Yes i just read some comments and as you said is not as stable as our old good Adobe Reader.
Another questions, does it have implemented the GPRSStallworkaround fix?
Is it safe to flash it to a G4 device?
Does it has smartskey??
10 button comm manager?

GPRSStallworkaround: Not sure, but there's a registry editor included so you can put it in yourself if needed.
G4: Yes, its safe. Read up on how to do it if you haven't done it already though.
Smartskey: No, I don't use it, but if you want it just load it in yourself. It's a really small program. BatteryStatus, which is included, does overclocking on its own.
10 button: yes
voip: yes
Take care,
Does your packed ROM include the GPS application and Icon?
ROM looks very good and I would like to try but need the GPS and a lot of ROMs don't include it.
Thx,
Jim

Hi, No it doesn't. I'm not sure why not. If I find it I'll put it in the next update. (Along with the other fixes people suggest.) Having said that, I have no problem connecting with my GPS over bluetooth and TomTom is happy. I've read that app has been impossible to get to work properly, and most of the GPS folks avoid it. If you have problems getting going with the current set-up and want how I do it let me know.

Nope the GPS icon its not enabled.
I just flashed with this ROM and my device has frozen 2 or 3 times also it has a little trouble with the voice dialer, when in press the voice activation button it says that it cant start the assigned app.
Strange. I will fix it by myself. but i dont like to fix recently flashed ROMS.
Hi charly_mx,
Sorry for your trouble. Try a hard reset (if you haven't loaded too much in already). Or a soft reset if you have. (Using the pinhole.) I'm using the voice command version, and haven't had any problems with freezing. Is it a particular app? We could see if others are having trouble with it as well. If you post the fix for the voice dial activation I'll make sure it gets corrected in the next version.
Thanks,

I just got it!!! Look.
The Voice Speed Dial is bad assigned in the button config. Instead of being assigned on the second option of the button 4, it must be assigned in the first assignement (for a single key press activation). The second assignment of the button 4 is meant to be the "press and hold" function. Thats why it wasnt working with a single key press. Its just a slight config option.
Best regards.!!
what's the page pool on this rom?

I am coming accross keyboard issues on the s720 i just picked up a few days ago. At first I thought it was the 3rd party app I was trying to install (MinduIM). Basically, it installs fine, but once you try to use the app, you find out any key that has a number associated to it when FN key is enabled, will not work. For example R, D, C, etc on the slider keyboard. I then tried to install 3 more apps and came accross the same issues.
I heard there was a fix for another HTC model, but when I tried that on mine, it just locked it up and would not start the phone anymore. Thank god I was able to remove it.
Anyone come accross this issue or know a fix?
Sounds to me like a problem with the Keyboard driver, like I had with my qwertz and caps, but I don't know where you could get a new version. Maybe (it's just another radio right?) you should try the MoDaCo cab for new et9 it was a newer version of the driver, but it could also lock it again. Look in the thread of the New Guava ROM, in the first post he put in a link to it!
EDIT:
Here you go: http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev/MoDaCo_Vox_eT9_Language_Pack.cab

Looks Great
I'll give it a spin later. I just have issues with getting arcsoft to run for my MMS for some reason when tmobiles settings arent already in have set it up so many times in the past have it memorized but it seems to mainly be an issue on the 6.5.1 builds maybe its just an issue stemming from there
yeah, i always have problems with arcsoft, thats why I dont include it in my roms... if you want I can recook one with arcsoft installed and see if it helps your situation
Ugh, also forgot to add in facebook, I use facebook ALOT but idk about you guys
That would be great. like i said though might just be the newer windows build been noticing alot of builds where the MMS isn't working . consistant bug in windows itself i wonder?
Nice job! i would go through your sys and delete the MSalarm shortcuts. Its the most pointless start menu item. (Since it looks like you un checked it in the kitchen)
yea i did uncheck it, i never really noticed the icon stayed in the start menu

I used to have that issue with every rom I used as well. My t-mo wing is unlocked and i'm on att now. What I had to do is install a cab for the connection settings(cing_connnection_settings.cab), another one for the mms settings (cing_mms_settings.cab), and install and run the htc network wizard. The network wizard that's built into some roms don't work for some reason... anywho common sense would say that the cabs would take care of it but the network wizard i guess handles things that the cabs don't. Either way I run those items, let the network wizard do a soft reset and everything's cool.
Now I am aware thats for at&t it would be safe to assume there's cabs like that for t-mo.
Hope this helps and quells that issue.
So by the providence of god I managed to flash this rom via sd. I first installed Arcsoft MMS, soft reset. Then install the cabs for the connection and mms, then install the HTC connnection thingie. Then run the wizard for my carrier, and do a soft reset when it asks and I'm good. Managed to confirm this by mms'ing myself.

It's part of the initflashfiles.dat
I updated the initflashfiles.dat so it now has that icons among other things that match 6.5.1.
okay ivan, thanks for the heads up!
Ill give that a try . First order of business see if i can locate T-Mo cabs.
woot found those and the cabs for cooks as well
Well have to call no joy. Love the rom btw , just no luck on MMS added it and the tmo cabs , even tried manual set up of arcsoft no luck on mms for tmo open to ideas if anyone has any.

Hey my Wing is on at&t too, is there any way you could post the cing_connnection_settings.cab and cing_mms_settings.cab? I have alot of issues too going from ROM to ROM, that's why I don't flash as much as I want to, because it's such a pain in the ass to get the data/mms working.
I slapped something together here

My sd card isn't fast enough.. Isn't there a ruu version..?
bugs found
Thing has an issue when I soft reset... keeps rebooting after showing the orange windoze logo. Only way to get the madness to stop is to go into boot loader and eject my memory card and cross my fingers after I hit the reset button. This is with pretty much any 6.5.1 ROM I've came across.
Either than that, it's not that good on multi tasking, normally I run TCPMP and txt my buddies. With this rom in particular, when i get into a message and start typing, TCPMP or media player quits. Complains that there's not enough memory for the operation.
That's all i've been able to find so far, can't wait to see the newer builds get rid of these small issues.

Just let it sit for a LONG time. About 20 minutes. It will complete installation and get past that orange screen eventually. Have patients grasshopper.

Giving it a shot
Gonna try this baby tonite..
Awesome
the ROM is AWESOME !! great job man.. quick and responsive no issues at all. call quality also seems to be fine. the only issue i have come across is the dial pad.. the window displaying names disappears and the text scheme is white text on a white background.
hunting for a dialer as i dont have the heart to switch to another rom just now.
if someone can point me how to change the scheme / a good dialer i would be very greatful.
Update:
Observed today is the issue with the key mapping. i was wondering why i cud not setup my yahoo mail lol.. eg: the @ symbol is not mapped to Shift+2 instead it gives )
I have installed fingerkeyboard 2.1 from gianni (qvga) and it is working fine with no issues as of now.
Before you flash:
understand the risks, ideally have flashed roms before, have hspl and spl 3.7, maybe not ideal for people who use it daily as a first or only device due to possibilities of things not working straight out of the box.
New Download:

A lot of changes addressed, I believe there may still be issues with the camera though
***Please note this is a test build(not Tested) do not complain if you brick your device, I welcome feedback good or bad but please respect the amount of time it takes me to cook these ROMS, if something doesnt work be patient as I have a full time job and a family that come first***

If there is no interest I will still build one for you 2 to test, and we can see where we go from there. Hopefully have something for you for tonight or tomorrow depending if I can sort out the problems with my kitchen
Hello I would be a tester but the problem is I don't have a original WM6.1 Dutch rom so I can't reverse to original if i want to.
I heard HTC wil come with an update when this happens it is possible for me to test roms till then i will stick to the original rom.
got experience of rom flashing with wizzard, Iphone and a MIO A701.
greetings
Oebele63
Maybe I Can be a backup tester
I plan to flash in the next few days, but I'm not experienced with this. But I have read up on the subject for some time now so I've read about the things which go wrong from time to time and I'm aware of the risks. Be glad to help out though, i'm sick of my beloved x7510 being so sluggish
I will be your tester. Hope your rom work well
Just flash your lastest build rom. Your Roms is not for X7510. The flash errors occurs

thats because you have flashed the clearly marked for x7500 not x7510, i will be cooking an x7510 build tnight or tomorrow and releasing to the people who expressed interest in beta testing, either you have misread my post here or not understood and i would advise you to wait for a release or your device

Heck yes I still want the ROM!! I'm always interested and once we work out the bugs, I'm sure everyone will be on board. I'm willing to help out wherever I can with this and if it means walking me through the kitchen and creating the .nbh then I'm game still.
Just my two cents...lol
will try and put a beta together when i get home from work probably be around 1am gmt, will pm download link to beta testers and update here and twitter when its up
Its done Beta1.01, links to download sent to selected beta testers, please do not publicly post download link until tested fully and I release a version for general release, feel free to post feedback here.
BETA testers, make sure you are on SPL3.5!!!!!
Try out as much as you can and then report back any issues etc, please try not to request things that are available via cab install as its not worth me installing specific software etc at the cost of module space in the native kernel. This rom should be very quick due to modifications to the space used in slot 0 of the native 6.1 memory kernel(0 modules). Also please be aware that some issues may be down to me using a leaked beta from MS and I may not be able to change some things.

6.5 Beta Issues:
1. The memory allocation sucks badly. Only 30mb left for program memory. This is a problem for running other programs or simutanious ones. There also appears to be a memory leak because the memory is going down slowly. A soft reset takes care of this for a little time.
2. Audible manager does not work. My personal feeling is take it out, never use it anyway.
3. Some of the icons do not render well. I would be more than happy to create a couple for you to insert in there place: Comm Manager, Clear Storage, Backlight and others. Not smooth on the edges.
4. G sensor works well, but again, not really a use for it. I would add it as an extra .cab to install for an additional cab package.
5. Real VGA - Another personal preference. Although I don't mind it being there.
6. VueFlo - Really? Wow, haven't seen that in a while and haven't tried it yet.
7. The Calculator wants to be in portrait mode at all times. Not a big issue, but I usually never use my device in portrait mode.
8. The ROM is fast, actually blazin fast for 6.5. I'm still trying to get use to the bottom bar but I do believe I'm stuck on 6.5 now. Very stable rom and runs without any hiccups.
9. SMS text received. When you click on notification and it opens the sms, it doesn't mark it as read. You have to click on it or scroll up onto it with the arrow keys for it to appear read and then no new messages waiting to be read.
10. The dialer....strange. I don't know if you have added a new one or if it is a component of the new 6.5. It does not render properly in portrait mode and the names/numbers on the left of the dial pad is very annoying. You cannot read the full name of the contact that comes up. The dial pad is not all the way on the screen. You can see the right numbers are a little off the screen.
11. Quickmenu - Don't understand why that was incorporated. The x doesn't close even though quickmenu is set up to close it.
12. While in the sms/text screen to read or create a text, when the phone rings, the caller id does not pop up. That is a bad one for me. I like to see who is calling before I answer...lol.
13. The Comm Manager isn't the normal one. I understand the quickness of it, but I prefer the original style. No issues with bluetooth or connection to the internet via media net.
I do believe that is it right now. I would literally call it a RC version. You did a great job, but like I said, the memory consumption is to much/great to be used heavily. I'll look forward to your next release.

Hopefully this release will be better have removed a lot of unused packages

Removed
3. Some of the icons do not render well. I would be more than happy to create a couple for you to insert in there place: Comm Manager, Clear Storage, Backlight and others. Not smooth on the edges.
I dont do graphics so any help would be appriciated
4. G sensor works well, but again, not really a use for it. I would add it as an extra .cab to install for an additional cab package.
This has been left in unless I get more requests for removal as I do not have a cab
5. Real VGA - Another personal preference. Although I don't mind it being there.

6. VueFlo - Really? Wow, haven't seen that in a while and haven't tried it yet.
This in the dump from the original rom, I will remove at some point but involves digging into OEM files, will do this when closer to full release
7. The Calculator wants to be in portrait mode at all times. Not a big issue, but I usually never use my device in portrait mode.
Think I removed this calc but not sure now
8. The ROM is fast, actually blazin fast for 6.5. I'm still trying to get use to the bottom bar but I do believe I'm stuck on 6.5 now. Very stable rom and runs without any hiccups.
I recmod a lot of modules meaning that memory slot0 has zero modules in leaving it free for just the device kernel
9. SMS text received. When you click on notification and it opens the sms, it doesn't mark it as read. You have to click on it or scroll up onto it with the arrow keys for it to appear read and then no new messages waiting to be read.
Maybe a feature of 6.5 **not addressed in this build**
10. The dialer....strange. I don't know if you have added a new one or if it is a component of the new 6.5. It does not render properly in portrait mode and the names/numbers on the left of the dial pad is very annoying. You cannot read the full name of the contact that comes up. The dial pad is not all the way on the screen. You can see the right numbers are a little off the screen.
**possibly due to the build having the bigger bottom taskbar, cant remember if I included advanced config, if I did disable the phone skin, if not search for advanced config and disable**
11. Quickmenu - Don't understand why that was incorporated. The x doesn't close even though quickmenu is set up to close it.
**Removed I think**
12. While in the sms/text screen to read or create a text, when the phone rings, the caller id does not pop up. That is a bad one for me. I like to see who is calling before I answer...lol.
**Not address yet, but may be fixed through other changes, please report back**
13. The Comm Manager isn't the normal one. I understand the quickness of it, but I prefer the original style. No issues with bluetooth or connection to the internet via media net.
**Removed, back to original**

Please note changes to feedback received
I appreciate the fixes and await the release for download and install. I did do some research and the 0409 and other res are an integral part of the new 6.5. I found this weird because of the consumption it takes up in windows, but what do you do. Let me know what size icons you need and I'll fix the ones up and shoot them over to you. If it comes down to it, I'll strip the original and replace it with a doctored up one.
