Ok guys, so WM6 on Tornado exists (currently running on my device as we speak). But there are quite a few things we need to sort out before it can be released 'En Masse' Before this time I will ignore ALL PMs asking for the ROM.
There is a WM6 comments/suggestion/speculation thread HERE. Feel free to put in requests for embedded apps etc, but please realise we won't be able to put in EVERYTHING. So when the ROM is at a more completed stage we will draw up a shortlist for the apps etc to be embedded and let you vote it out
Current Issues:
Still has identifying build numbers etc to my source
Doesn't sync at all with a PC but will sync over exchange
It says WM5 with MSFP when its really WM6 (OS 5.2.xxx)
No Camera
No MMS
Issues fixed:
Wifi not accessable - new comm manager
No Office (fixed with a cab)
No t9 - updated to xT9 with 14 languages (fixed with a cab)
WLM is still beta and so needs removing and then updating (fixed with WLM RTM cab)
Things we need from a Tornado WM5 ROM
Camera.exe with all the mui extensions
Lets keep this thread clean, ok? I don't want sh!t loads of n00bs saying "where can I download ROM?". So, before you ask, here's my answer. YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT UNTIL ITS FINISHED!!!!
If a mod could remove such posts i'd be forever grateful
Please only post if you have information regarding how to fix the issues I've outlined above.

So... i am Alex from ronswens forum. i promise to fix that if you give me the rom and you can contact me via ICQ .. we need at least 3 tests - first, we upgrade xip, then new os build and then fix the camera...
T9 now fixed, office added, WLM fixed
Phil
@sp3dev, unfortunatley i dont have ICQ, do you have an MSN email address?

I think this is the sort of n00b-ish comment jm012a9749's trying to avoid in this thread.
I mean, honestly, do you think he believes he's the only one to have attained a tornado version? Come on...
Look, this guy is aware of Duke's efforts, heck we all are, but the more people who get involved, the more efficiently we can get a polished product. There's no guarantee that Duke nor jm012a9749 will be able to do anything, so why should any of us sit back and not get involved? Besides, Duke himself has mentioned that he needs help since he's not an experienced Rom cooker.
Sorry for the rant here, but this sort of attitude really bothers me. Saying "oh, someone's already doing that, sit back and don't waste your time" is why certain projects never see the light of day...
Please only post helpful information or questions!
you can fix activesync by replacing the usbfn.dll file.

Exactly, since day 1 I've been working with duke_stix to help get a working version of crossbow. However now that I've made some progress and actually HAVE a device myself to test on, I felt it was nessary to start a new thread dedicated to it rather than the old dump rom thread
@faria, will try this later, thanks for the advice

Camera Software
Hi, I found this camera software. Its the one they using in WM6 i think. (Its kinda like the one on my Vox) Im using it on my tronado, and it works with some cert fixes.
Hope this helps

Stuff
Maybe you can find some useful stuff here:
http://218.93.115.138/d900/
You can have the WIFI option appear on its current Comm Manager thru Registry.. i have tried it and it worked.. but anyway, glad the new Comm Manager worked also..
The new comm manager also has flight mode, beam and IP Phone buttons on it

I don't know if we have the same build or version jm012a9749 but the following bugs are present on mine..
"BETA" text on the homescreen
FIX:
HKLM - Software - Miscrosoft - Shell
DELETE - "DeviceBETA" key
You can't open the Sound in Settings (Settings - Sounds)
Culprit could be the file soundsgsm.cpl.xml on /windows/ directory

Hello Guys,
im new to this forum and i like to read some threads here from timt 2 time.
And since i got my own pocket pc, i wondered if anybody could help me with a question.
The Windows Mobile Version of mine is a spanish one. And i would lik to have an english version of it. Is it somehow possible to install a language packet or to get another version of WM?
I hope you guys can help me with this. I know this isnt exactly a pocket-pc-forum, but maybe you know something.
Ill tried to search the web, but i got no result
Please help me, any answer would be very kind
Best regards
Just like Windows desktop OS's, you must reinstall the OS to change the language.
It's not an easy process if you are not familiar with your device. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is a forum devoted to your device. You should find a lot of information there.
Hey N1c0_ds,
i thought i have to reinstall or flash a new rom/OS.
I can read as much as possible and i dont fear the work
And because im not very familiar with my pda, i think it will be some work to me....
Thanks for your advice... i guess you meant the Other "HTC manufactured phones" forums. Ill have a lokk at these
Ok, in the vein of DeadPhoenix, I am creating a new thread for the Sapphire ROM from Haykuro. His latest build is up to 6.0.1, and the original thread, along with the Shhhh thread have become so HUGE with junk that nobody could hope to find any important info.
Follow Haykuro here:
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/
or
http://www.twitter.com/haykuro
He has updates for all his ROMs there, but you should be able to distinguish between the ones you are looking for.
Please post ONLY about Haykuro's Sapphire ROMs here.
EDIT 5/22/09 6:46pm EST
Haykuro has posted the most recent build to fix certain network issues. The build is 6.0r1 and can be downloaded here:
http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/6.0r1-signed.zip
Now for a little preventative measure...
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING LINKS. IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO POST HERE, PLEASE MAKE SURE IF ONE OF THOSE THREADS IS MORE RELEVANT TO WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO POST, POST IT THERE INSTEAD
Haykuro is also well aware of the SPL "bricking" issue some of you are seeing. He has started a thread specifically to discuss the technical aspects of that problem in an effort to resolve it. That thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517593
If you are looking for info on the "Hero" build Haykuro has been working on, DeadPhoenix has graciously started a new thread to follow that will hopefully stay a little less cluttered:

EDIT - 5/23/09 - 2:48pm EST
Several users have reported issues with the Application Dock Tab being in the wrong place when in landscape mode. There is a fix posted by another user here:

Exchange issue
This info may be elsewhere (in fact probably is), but is so buried deep in JUNK that any n00b or follower looking for it will have a hell of a time finding it. Thus the purpose of this new thread.
There seems to be an issue with Exchange being able to create an account in the 6.0 build. This seems to continue in the 6.01 build. Haykuro is aware of the issue and I'm sure is working towards a solution. Once the fix is available you will be able to hopefully find it easily in this thread.

Yes, but try to find a particular bit of info or just follow that thread of almost 700 posts. Most of which is praise for Haykuro and other useless babble (no offense, but the best form of praise is a Donation, and I don't see a need to post that you have donated (Haykuro will know).
I think what DeadPhoenix is trying to do with his thread (and myself with this one) is create a clean start to post ONLY relevant info.
If you feel I am wrong to doing so, then please feel free to report this thread. I will take no offense.
No worries. You make a good point. You should gather all of the information from Haykuros first post in that thread and put it here so its a little more tidy. Just a suggestion. That will hopefully make this a more n00b friendly thread.
Here's some info about that ROM. The auto-complete function with the slide out keyboard DOES NOT WORK. One of the very few (if not the ONLY) reason I am currently on JF1.5 and not that build.

I have not tried since my SPL installed fine, but capndoody claims to have done so. See his post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3818649&postcount=24
You may want to send him a very polite PM and ask.
Also, please see my link in the first post of this thread. There is a thread dedicated to SPL issues that Haykuro himself started.
With 6.0.1 my widgets wont work correctly after reboot, weather widgets wont finish "loading data" retro clock wont change from 00:00
":
There is something I am trying to understand. All of these posts and threads refer to the Magic, the Sapphire and the Hero, but isn't the version of Android what really matters in this differentiation? Like if I flash my G1 with Android 1.5, won't it still be a Magic? This being the case, I'd name the threads "Haykuro's Android 1.0 builds", "Haykuro's Android 1.5 (Cupcake) builds" and "Haykuro's Android 2.0 (Donut) builds", and then Eclair and beyond In fact, I bet at least 3/4 of the people flashing these are T-Mobile G1 owners. Am I wrong? Cause this whole HTC model talk is confusing to me and I am sure it will be just as confusing to those coming here for the first time looking for the latest and greatest Android O/S and build.
On an unrelated note (but still relevant to the thread), is the build Haykuro is currently working on and claims to be close to completing, a 1.5 build, meaning a replacement for 6.0r1? Or, how you'd call it, a Sapphire build?

The only info I have found regarding widgets is that some of the location-aware widgets (such as weather) are having problems correctly getting the location data via GPS.
Is there a particular widget you are having problems with? I am currently using the search, music, and retro clock/date widgets without any problems.

There are several 1.5 builds, by several developers. The "Hero" build is based on 1.5 that is customized for the HTC Hero upcoming phone. The "Sapphire" or "Magic" builds both refer to the 1.5 build that is ported to the G1 from the HTC Magic phone.
ok, since you have to have the spl to flash the new sapphire build, im guessing i can ask here w/o any trouble. can someone please refresh my memory as to how to install the new drivers?

Well, that's why I suggested to name the thread "Haykuro's...", just like you did. These are one developer's builds. But really, doesn't Haykuro (or the other developers) focus only on one build per version of the O/S? Yes, Haykuro used to keep the G build and the H build, but that is no longer the case. It seems he is now focusing on one build for 1.5 and one build for 2.0 and I personally do not care whether it was ported from device X or device Y as long as I can flash it on my G1. I mean, that's just the way I feel, but do appreciate your trying to start a fresh thread on Haykuro's Android 1.5 builds.
Can we make this clear, there are no 2.0 builds.
just found out: you can restore your nandroid backup for data (and even system) after applying the new spl
if you do this, remember to clear dalvik-cache using adb shell during the first boot. the phone may take a while to boot and you will see the welcome to android screen. skip all steps and you'll see your home screen slowly coming up. wait for another 5-10mins for internal clean up. you may notice that the phone application keeps crashing. this will go away after a reboot.
an advice for haykuro: since we have enough free space with the new spl, could you build the odex files for system apps like the old offcial release? this could save us some time and disk space.

It's not just GPS. It's any location service. GPS flickers on and off, wont stay linked. Weather widgets that aren't set to manual can't pull My Location data because of this. This also affects the Google homepage since it uses My Location data as well.
With the release of various new kitchens for the Herald/Wing, I'm sure there are going to be many newbie cooks with many newbie questions. I'm creating this thread as a place to ask our remaining Chefs questions in a central location to avoid them being bombarded in the various other threads. I define a "Chef" as those cooks who have released many flavors of ROMs, so presumably they know what they are doing, and thay are still cooking for the herald/wing... aka Ivanmmj, Ace10134, Apreichner, IllConcepts, etc. No disrespect intended to those great cooks who have released ROMs in the past, but have gone on to other projects, aka toadlife, ttran001, itje, Papamopps, Dutty, ICP, KidnamedAlbert, ginolin, and others... if you are still around, feel free to participate.
Please limit your questions to issues with ROM COOKING. Take a look at Ace's Guide to Cooking before asking. Then if all else fails... ASK THE CHEF.
Please state which kitchen you are using, which WinMo build, and as much detail as possible. If you get the answer, please update your post so that it is not answered multiple times.
Reserved for later
Reserved for even later
I'll answer
And you've got my GUIDE.

Ok... I guess I'll ask the first question. I asked this in Ivan's SuperJustKitchen thread because it happened with his kitchen, but I'll ask it here for all the other roaming chefs and WinMo experts.
I cooked a spanish Rom for wm6.5 23016, using the default setting and adding a few items like voice command and .NETCF 3.7. The build was successful as well as the flash. Everything looks OK except that CABs wont install and Themes will not apply.
Ivan says he's looking into it, but I know he's busy. IllConcepts says he encountered this in one of his ROM builds but did not say how he resolved it. I would like to investigate the cause myself, but I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone tell me which program actually does the install of CAB files (when double clicked) so I can verify the file association in registry for CAB files. Also, how exactly are themes applied when clicked in the Today settings panel.
I haven't spent a lot of time on SJK yet. But when i tried it i couldn't install cabs or get an internet connections. Ivan can best answer that since its his Kitchen.

The CAB issue is only on the 6.5 builds and I'm looking for a fix right now.
The internet connection is because you didn't install and run Network Wizard. I'm going to guess that you use T-mobile. It seems that only T-mobile users run into the "problem" of the internet connection not working. (I think the average tmobile user is used to having a phone that is FROM tmobile and therefore already preconfigured by tmobile.)
lol ya the network config wizard was the cab I tried to install. Once the cab thing is worked out it will be easy sailing!

That would be cool! I am not 100% sure that it was the network setup i needed. When i would go to Setting/Connections/Connections there was nothing at all. Usually there is an "Add a new modem connection, Set up proxy, etc" But it was completely blank Except for the word connections on top. Usually on "Herald" roms on my wing i can manually do the wap.voicestream and be fine. I could be wrong however.... i am very new at this.

Well we can't help you if we don't know what ROM you're using. You should really know which ROM you downloaded. But it sounds like you're using an outdated ROM anyways. Get a newer WinMo 6.1 or 6.5 one, they all work fine.
And, this isn't the place for asking that question, anyways. This thread is for asking the chefs on how to cook, not personal issues with ROM's.

Hello Everyone. I have been looking through the android threads and I had a simple question that I did not see answered among those threads. The questions is this.
Are there any versions of Android that can boot as soon as the phone starts up? From what I have read, you have to always launch android manually.
Sorry if I missed a thread somewhere that covers this but I have not seen it anywhere. An answer or simple point to the right direction would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone for your time.
Answer: NO.
BUT...soon to be. dzo will make it possible soon, not sure how long it will take..since he doesnt have a kaiser, but he did it for vogue and said he will do it for kaiser.

Technically no, as stated before DZO is working on it.
As for a "trick" to make it "auto boot", yes there is. Change the name of your default.txt to startup.txt this makes HaRET run without asking when clicked. Now place a shortcut to HaRET in your windows/start up foder. This way windows will automatically run HaRET as soon as the phone starts. And if there is an issue with Android, just remove the SD card and restart the phone. Doing this will act like it boots into Android, just a few seconds slower
Thank you for the responses. I have an I-phone 3GS now but always appreciated the new capibilities for the Kaiser made possible by the awesome chefs in this forum. I look forward to trying an Android Rom soon.

Actually, dzo does (or did) have a Kaiser. He was responsible for the first port of Android from the Vogue to the Kaiser. He was given a Kaiser by an anonymous member of this forum. Search the big Kaiser Android thread for "anonymous" and you'll see what I mean.
Once again I have a simple question that is probably a bit n00bish.
what requirements of andriod app can you use? Ive never had a andriod phone but I know that you have andriod 1.1 1.6 2.0 etc.
Im guessing the `more recent the app,the less likely it will work.

For as far as I know: you can use most of the apps that suite our resolution used in our default.txt's and startup.txt's. Allso notice that, if an app is depending on a certain piece of hardware that is not working yet with that build, that you can't use it. For instance: we don't have working bluetooth yet, so bluetooth dependant apps could be kind of a hassle.
I have tried many builds and figured that most ION and Donut related apps seem to work for me.
