Hi, some people have had success getting the touchflo interface to work on the Wizard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314031&highlight=touchflo
but it doesn't seem to work on Charmer. Anyone else tried / succeeded?
If anyone has any ideas, please post here, thanks.
Its for Hermes, not wizard.
I think Wizard as well...
I think it may be for Wizard as well:

this is a realy goods news for us, but the fact is too few people use charmer. i only can do is wait for somebody make the sutiable rom for charmer.
today i used to make a test, write the Fantastic_b4_step2 ROM to charmer, but that is not function, stop at the second screen and system was down.
I have been using the htc Touch homescreen today plugin, wireless manager and dial pad on my charmer for the past week, however had to overclock the device to compensate for the lagging.

I've been using the above and a few of the other HTC apps on my Charmer for a good few weeks now and found that if I install the "v. 000.2 WM6 Essentials" rom and then the HTC apps I dont have to overclock the thing at all. Although the first time some of the apps are run they are slow.
I'd like to see someone add these to a new extended rom excluding all the naff T Mobile stuff that I have to bypass after flashing at the moment. I've also never flashed my PDA so often as I have recently.
I just have one problem and thats syncing with Vista Windows Mobile Device Center, its not working and giving me sync errors but doesnt tell you why typical Microsoft error trapping hey?
Adding the bits to the extended rom make n difference, however having them added to the actual rom does, anyway the charmer rom cookers have stated their stance on adding these tidbits to the rom and I appreciate that.
Regarding your active sync issues, are you using AS 4.5?

Alot of us are having problems with WiFi not working and having problems with certain software that is WM6 complient not working properly.
I am also going back to AP 3.0 until things are ironed out on AP 4.0
igo works if you turn off the htc home plugin. some of the others not working can also be solved by turning off the htc home plugin, others wont work because of 6.1

Pawel I maybe totally clueless so please bear with me. The HTC Home screen is the one with the Big Clock, Weather etc? If so i am unpicking it from my today list (turning it off) as I have never liked the look. If this is the HTC Home what will running the cab from the addon gain me as far as lockups with WeatherPanel and now PocketWeather during soft reset or power down/on?
I am more than willing to try different things to get this to work and appreciative of the effort you and the team have put into Ap 4.0 I have always been a fan of the AP Series.
Thank you!
I like to try AP4 because I´m curious, but now I want to return to WM6 because it is in my language the Portuguese not AP3(because is in english)!!
I appreciative the effort of the team into Ap 4.0, congratulations for your excelent work.
I need a solution for SPLV3.03 problem!! Because I can´t reverse
Please help me??????????????????
I would also like to downgrade to the stock WM6 ROM from HTC as I find the performance of the new AP4 ROM to be very poor. I mainly noticed this when running TomTom, a lot of the speech was stuttery, and the map drawing was slow as hell.
I also noticed, then when driving round corners, the screen rotation would change LOL

orientation can be turned off via the config app. try turning off the htc home when using tomtom and see if that helps. many issues seem to go back to the new htc home being a resource hog.
for the other question. the htc home in the addons is a old qvga thats much less resource hungry. i say to try it because maybe htc home is still running in the background and using resources. its always worth a try bc u can get lucky and fix it.
I had the home plugin disabled, but I dont think I had reset my device. I have now, and TomTom seems much better. I think I shall give the ROM a decent test before making any decisions, but I think I like it.
One question, if I enable VueFlow again, is the sensitivity that you can set in the stock vueFlo utility effecting the orientationchanging.
Thanks
I could do with going back to stock rom so I can demonstrate to the guy in the t-mobile store that my microdrive is dying..
Any help please from AP4 team???????????????
I need downgrade from AP4, but I can´t, because I want to return to my old Wm6 in my language Portuguese that I have before

@cynetic_1 - I have sent you PM replies that comnex is the one person who may be able to help you, but she is very busy right now with all of the WiFi and other bricked issues. I believe the AP team will work on a generic solution to enable flashing OEM or stock ROM's, but that is not yet available. Perhaps what we need is an OEM ROM for the X7510 in your native language? That, to me would seem like the fastest solution for you (this would need to be tested)

Good suggestion, nothing wrong with trying this as it is reversible.
Yes I have sent to comnex a PM asking help, but now I think she is very busy.
I could experiment one OEM ROM for the X7510 in my native language the Portuguese, but I think none is available right now.
I think I prefer my older OEM WM6 Portuguese version that I was before, because the compatibility with my all software, but unfortunaly because new SPL I can´t downgrade???
http://rapidshare.de/files/39476074/ATHE_WWE_4.AL.TX_WM6.1_b19209.1.0.2.rar.html
For SPL 3.5 only.
Thanks for Olipro
Information:
bla-bla-bla.
How about some descriptions and screens for this ROM?
Does it have HTC touchflo? How does its contact application look like? etc.
SPL 3.5 means... WHAT base ROM? AP4, AP3, AP5, IRUS?
WM6 or WM6.1?
Other info?
EDITED
The ROM's name explain something: IRUS rom (settings, about)claims to be the WM6.1 19521.1.1.0 build; from the file name this ROM seems to be the WM6.1 19209.1.0.2 (older build ...). Otherwise sometime rom cookers edit the build numbers ....
Base: wwe ROM from HTC X7510
NK.exe : from ap4
wm6.1 19209 b19209.1.0.2
19521 - fake ROM
I'm going to try this out today, thanks .
Hmm, there is some customization that's missing here, maybe to make it "Ultra Lite". Gotta tweak it to see if I like it or not.
*Update*
Ok, a LOT of this ROM is in Russian, I really don't like the included apps, there are some pirated application on there, HTC X-Button doesn't work at all, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5, you can't customize the menu AT ALL, the scroll bars are thin making it VERY hard to use your finger, it starts using OzVGA, not even RealVGA, HSDPA is disabled by default...The only thing I like about this ROM so far, is that my MobileTalk application actually works, and that I can run Garmin again due to the larger RAM size. I will wait for AP5 vanilla before I flash again, or I'll try AP4, as at least that works with my MobileTalk program.
*Update 2*
Wow, here's a MAJOR problem with this ROM, apparently he didn't add the ability to uninstall programs. Sorry buddy, but because of this, this ROM is gone.
darkjedi,
Sorry, however not all your conclusions about this ROM are correct.
1. There are NO programs in Russian. All are in English.
2. Yes, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5. But nobody said that it must be here
3. The menu used is QuickMenu. It is fully customizable and it has HTC X-Button functionality inside. You even do not need HTC X-Button installed. To customize menu just click Start->QuickMenu->Options
4. It is easy to make the scroll bars as thick as you like - just run
OzVGA and customize
5. Yes it has SOME problems with uninstall, but it is not so critical
And what about speed of this ROM? It is very, very quick and responsive.
Actually it is Ultra Lite, but high-speed system.

Sorry but no, I do not want some "QuickMenu" program that looks ugly and is obtrusive. HTC X-Button is small and does it's job, and allows me to just hit the X and the program closes. And btw, the OS STARTS in Russian btw, and CorePlayer is all in Russian. So I have to go into ANOTHER program just to edit the menu? Ugh. That's incredibly stupid. OzVGA is annoying and very buggy. And WHERE is the add/remove programs? Let me guess, ANOTHER program? Nice attempt, but with all this crap? Sorry but AP4.0, bugs and all, is much better.
Does not sound like an ultra lite to me if it contains so many unwanted third party bloatware.
I'm still waiting for a true vanilla, not pseudo vanilla. On Spl 1.2 please. There's no need to lose any memory to useless programs.

You know even with all the negativity, I may try it. Still having several issues in AP4 and AP5. Waiting to install the next Ap5
1) So the startup and/or Coreplayer is in Russian - who cares Install wwe version
2) I hate the HTC Home in Ap4 and AP5 too big.takes up way to much of the today screen. ALways install htc home vga over it anyway.
3) Quick Menu is really not that bad. It is installed in many of the roms in other forums - Kasier especially.
4) Haven't used OzVga since my universal - It have some issues awhile back, but it was basically like realvga used in other AP rom..Not sure if it works well, but hey why not try it while I wait for another AP rom
5) This seems like a real issue, that would suck, but again I just feel like flashing something, while I wait for another rom to try....

Does it have HTC Touchflo and the new Contact Applications ? Is the speed as fast as the WM6.0 stock ROM?
Have you tested its GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI yet? Could you uninstall the big menu, russian coreplayer, ozVGA, and HTC X-button?
One of the most common tasks i do many times a day, is turn the wifi in my ATT Tilt on and off. For this I have to go to the Comm Mgr and toggle it on and off. I've always wanted a one tap way of doing it, and had used BatteryStatus in the past, but its icon was too small. With Manilla2D, we dont even have that option anymore, but we do have the nice big manilla launcher.
So i put together some C++ code from myself and from samples around the web, and made a simple exe that just toggles the wifi on and off. I've cabbed it up, so that it will install into \Program Files and put a shortcut in \Windows\StartMenu\Programs called AKToggleWifi.
You can now add it to the Manilla launcher and it will show up as in the attached screenshot.
You can uninstall it from the Settings\System\Remove Programs.
I havent tested it on any device except my Tilt/Kaiser running a 6.1 ROM from Sakajati (Hyperdragon/Blackstone).
let me be the first one to say: THANK YOU.
many, many people have been waiting for this kind of solution before.
regards
bro
nice solution =D
if you got your keyboard open (for the tilt) you can always hit fn + right and it has the same effect. i just discovered the button a few days ago and it made my life easier but so shall this app.
thanks
Just flat out awesome. Works perfectly, using the default AT&T WM6.1 ROM minus bloatware.

mmh, i use such a wifi toggle since one year, so i´m wonderíng why you made a new one, or did i miss anything ?
the one i´m using at the moment is also here at xda devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2788804&postcount=2
here is another one that is 2 Years old but i think i rember it works only on wm5
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/index_en.html (look at SmartUtilities)
so thank you for your work, but maybe next time some searching ?
big thanks for this function!!!
i'm looking for this for a long time!
i have a P3300 with alot physical buttons
then i searching to activate the wifi without switching to my home screen or comm manage to activate it.
if you can create samething for phone function
i'll be very very happy !!!!
thanks again for your work !!
i wanted something extremely simple to use, needed no configuration and didnt need other apps to be installed on the device. Hence i wrote this in C++. Yes, other tools can do more and thats great, but they all might require some setup. Since i flash often, i wanted something for myself that i can just use without using any brain energy. Hence the simple app. I'm glad some people find it useful... i certainly find it extremely useful for my own usage style. I released it to everyone rather than keep it to myself, because i have benefitted from the work by other developers on this site, and even if 1 other person finds it useful, i'm satisfied.

do you mean you want something to turn just the phone radio off, similar to how this one turns wifi off? i'll look into it..havent looked at those api's yet, but it should be possible. However, just out my curiosity, why you want to turn the phone off so often?

I have decided to hang up the Titan and pickup an Imagio. So most likely my wm6.5 ROM cooking is over. Sorry....
Build 28011 Now Available
Hey guys. I realize there is not much support for us Titan owners over here. I, myself recently downgraded to a used Titan, not really knowing what was to be expected. I like the device for the most part, but the new ROM support really stinks. Luckily, Joojoobee666 from PPCGeeks has been updating us with the ported XIP from the newest Windows Mobile 6.5 builds.
I prefer to keep my personal ROMs pretty clean and simple. I don't place my name on any screen or accept donations, so please don't ask. I just make them for myself and support will be limited.
These ROMs are for Verizon vx6800. From this point on, I assume you have read the wiki for ROM and Radio upgrades. I am not responsible if your ppc blows smoke.
****Any and all my ROMs will have Verizon carrier built in unless otherwise stated****
Build 28011
I can't tell any difference between this build and 28004/05. Maybe a little snappier? Can't tell as I haven't fully set up my titan. But browsing through wifi, phone calls and sms works. No freeze issues!

Build 28004
This build has shown to be the most stable for our Titan ppc. 28002 had sleep issues, along with 28008. 28005 which I am currently using has freeze ups with wifi connections. So I will be flashing back to this ROM that I am posting, unless something better comes out in the next hour.
I think I forgot to add Microsoft Office on this ROM, but all the other usual programs apply. Some of you may have read about the new skin for the winmo keyboard called "msimar." I tried to add this kb version into the ROM with no luck.

Installing and will report back! Tomorrow I get my Touch Pro 2 so this is the last time I play around with this phone. Figure I'd make the most of it.
I just noticed this morning that the WirelessManager(formerly comm manager) button isn't working. To get around this is simple.
Open Total Commander
Open Windows directory and scroll down to wrlsmgr.exe
Tap wrlsmgr.exe once
Press "file" select >>>>>> (A)
Create shortcut
Press Tree-> navigate to start menu in the windows directory
Press ok
Now you can add the comm manager functionality by going to start>settings>personal>buttons
Select comm manager and then select wrlsmgr from the drop down box.
I do some ROMs of my own working with PPCKitchen. How can I get the new WM65 build into the kitchen to cook a new one? I have had a 6800 for about 8 months and love it. Would love it more if I could get the GPS to work. Baby steps.
It's actually pretty simple over all. You will have to create a text file and modify another. Drop the SYS and Common archives into the kitchen folder. Add the new XIP.bin to the Titan core archive's ROM folder. Sounds difficult at first, but one you get it down, it should take less than 5 minutes to add a new build.
Here's a link showing how to add a new 6.5 build to an apache kitchen.

Well done! This is a quick, snappy rom. Why is it that no one puts office in their roms anymore? Also may I suggest a more versatile comm manager and the adding the htc task manager? I understand you are keeping it 'barebones' but just some add ons people may want.
Thanks for sharing and once again well done!

Hmmm, now that I think about it, I haven't seen a wm6.5 rom with office either. I wonder if it is a compatibility issue or if cooks just don't bother with it, because they will be cooking again in a few days when the next build is leaked?
I wish I could come up with a more versatile comm manager. From what I understand, Microsoft is doing away with the comm manager and introducing the wirelessmanager. File names and commands have changed, so the older comm managers that we are accustomed to no longer work.
As for the htc task manager, it is no longer compatible either. As you know, the start, task and quick menu were at the top right corner of the screen. Now that microsoft has moved the start button to the bottom, the functionality of the htc task manager has deminished. I have read that the dotfred task manager still works, but I am not familiar with the app. I can try to cook a new rom with a comm manager and htc task manager, if you want to try it out and see if its true or not. Which comm manager do you prefer?
That is too bad many of the nice convinces we are accustomed to do not work on the new builds.
I do like having office, it comes in handy. It is released in the build and not cooked in after the fact?
I imagine you will agree with me, I think that a task manager on the home screen is essential for our devices. I would be willing to try a htc managaer and comm manager rom.
I like the htc comm manager (originally released for the touch but adapted for our devices).
Thanks!
GPS?
Does GPS work on this ROM "out of the box" or do i need to apply the settings from the wiki after i install the rom?
thanks in advance
I have a 6800 as well and mine has never worked. I have tried all the "patches", radios, tweaks, everything (well clearly not everything). Still no GPS signal. Even took the phone apart to double check the processor version. I am almost convinced mine doesn't have one. If anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it.
I have Verizon and got my 6800 this year too. I've got mine to work well. I first started by following the old threads. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
I unlocked and downgraded my ROM and used an old radio too. Carefully read the instructions!!!...I used a 2GB micro SD for all the early programming but use active sync today for most ROM/Radio changes.
I also use GPSGate to establish a strong lock-on for IGO8 GPS but do not need it for Garmin XT, TomTom7, or Astro Navigator II.
I do not use AGPS --- I do not use my data plan, just WIFI at home and other locations for GPSWeather and GoogleMaps to work.
I'm hoping this thread and any new updates here will provide at least 22MB free after loading all my software, games, and GPS stuff. Most of these new builds give you 25MB free with more add-on than this build ROM. All of the ROMs I tried, over 16, provide GPS if the radio allows it. I do not know of any newer radios or ROMs produced this year that do not support GPS. I believe your free RAM must be over 20MB to start IGO8 and about 17 MB for the others. If you run ROMs or SW that does not release ram after closing you may never have enough ram for GPS to work.

I do agree about the task manager. While this build has the built in task manager, it is not as convenient as having quick menu in the corner of the home page.
I am building a new rom as I type containing the office apps word, pow point and excel. Also added the htc comm manager and htc task. Also changed the first boot splash screen to an htc splash. I believe that's all I changed. I am not going to flash this one since I am fairly satisfied with the original. But if you would like to try it out, please give us feedback on the comm manager and task manager compatibility issues, if any. It'll be linked to the first post when the rom is built.

I didn't include navigation in the rom. Its not something I use in my phone, since Navi came with my car.

He is not talking about a GPS program as he references "settings" in his post bolded above. So he of course knows that 99 times out of 100 a Chef doesnt include a real Nav program in the ROM (maps obviously too large for device memory). Now google maps.. Thats a commonly cooked in application.
Answer is Yes and No for you rmancl. The ROM comes with a gps driver, and is obviously GPS radio required so thats half of it. The other half is making sure your GPS one settings in QPST are accurate for your Carrier and then navigating to this location in the registry to set the Suplagps settings [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS\. Other resolutions include installing the various GPS CABs that are out there.

And I have the downloads and donations to prove it rookie.
You posted in my thread without any negativity from me. So whats your problem?
Thanks for the one off brew Mindtrip! I flashed it and have been testing. Office and Comm Manager work perfectly. Comm Manager actually runs much quicker than other roms i have tried. Unfortunately Task Manager does not work as you expected. It is really too bad. I have done some research too and it doesn't appear we have a home screen task manager for this build.
It's a nice simple rom, which makes it nice and quick. Thanks again.

I posted in your thread to help someone having problems with PCM keyboard. I didn't know that threads were marked territorially. I am just here to help others in the best way that I can. You on the other hand, do your very best to make others needing help feel stupid or inadequate. Remember the person who posted about your rom who said something along the lines of" I really dig your rom, I just wish it didn't have your name all over it"??? Remember what you replied to that? You told the guy that he was a peice of dirt. That he is nothing to you!! How the heck can you say that to someone who just said your rom is good?? Your ego is overwelming! Because of that and the other posts you make trying to make yourself sound like god, like the one in this thread is what encouraged me to learn to build my own roms. I don't need you, nor do I care if you exist. But I am not going to tell you that, nor would I intentionally try to make you or anyone else feel like crap for posting an obvious question.
The downloads and donations don't mean anything to me, as stated in the first post of this thread. I have a job, do you? I do this as a hobby. For fun. To help others who may not have a solid understanding of what is going on here. What is your purpose? Develop roms and stroke your ego?

Awesome scoupe! Thats nice to know. I will had the comm manager to the next build. Want me to cook you a rom without the task manager?
No thats ok this rom is running just fine! Thanks again. I am going to really do some digging for a task manager for this build.
