WM6/Crossbow Prophet Info - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Hi,
To stop all the questions/threads/shouting for links.
NO WM6/Crossbow stuff on the XDA FTP server, it will be removed as per M$ legal departments request.
To stop the gossip:
1. Yes, the ROM in doing "the round" with some prophet ROM maker(s)
2. No, I will not (yet) upload a WM6/Crossbow ROM on the FTP server
3. Yes, I will release a proper(ish) WM6 Crossbow ROM in English for the prophet at some point in time.
A general warning, there are versions out there that will brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing.
If you want to "risk it" fine, but don't come crying when it goes wrong.
Better wait for a proper "prophet wm6 beta release" coming soon
Ok, info:
- the WWE version going around (yes the orwell version) works on the prophet but has the following problems (i'm still checking so this list will get bigger)
1. No audio
2. The screen setup is in landscape mode (you can switch to portrait after the setup)
3. no ext. rom installation (it doesn't start even after hard reset)
4. you need to have activesync 4.5 for it to work (beta 2 avaiable on ms site here)
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...cf6c/setup.exe
5. battery problem, it doesnt charge nor does it know anything about the battery status.
6. no camera software
7. buttons are mapped wrong
8. screen goes to landscape after softreset
I can confirm you can go back to another ROM and it doesn't "mess up" or lock your radio ROM (using the orwell version)

Prophet Crossbow
Hi Jester! I have a G4 prophet now I have a few questions.
1. Is there any Crossbow rom at the moment that will work on the Prophet?
2. Does the Prophet have to be CID-Unlocked to work with Crossbow
3. Is it possible to CID-Unlock a G4 Prophet?
Sorry if it are stupid questions
Thank you

1. yes (with problems...but might be fixable)
2. can't verify right now, but looking at it, looks like it needs to be unlocked
3. yes, for now using a pay service, people are working on a free solution, but that will take time.

Ok to be a little more specific, is there already a crossbow rom available? or are you working on one and is there a possible release from you in the near future..
I mean, I have downloaded a few roms, and I'm a little bit afraid to try them all..

2,7,8 are problems that have been solved with other roms ported from wizard. (So I believe that there won't be a problem here)
4,6 are no big deal to fix (there is a hidden camera shortcut in the windows folder)
So the severe problems are 1,3,5.
Is the charging problem the same as the aku 3.x you where working on?
Could it be easier to fix than the 3.x?
Good luck to you mate

1 6: I had solved in Chinese Version WM6. Just change dll driver.and copy file(The camera needs almost 58 files)
3 4: It's not important
2 7 8: They are same problem. The keyboard driver wrong.I have no idea now.
I think the related drivers are hidparse.dll kbdhid.dll keybddr.dll.
5: It's the big trouble. I think the related drivers are battdrvr.dll usbfn.dll. I changed battdrvr.dll using 818PRO's driver.The battery status is ok. But charging still need soft reset.
The aku 3.3 rom from 838 solved problem 2 7 8. Anybody know some about it?

I didn't do it. I think the people at pdamobiz did it. It must be a registry setting

Could the battdrv.dll from the htc artemis work? It almost has the same board as the prophet.
what do you think?
