Hi,
as I've switched to wm6.5 recently, i'm currently using my phone a lot... unfortunately, i also recognized, that i'm having strange problems since switching... after installing all my cab files and applying all my tweaks, etc. the OS will not launch any apps anymore, followed by not booting after a softreset, i have to hard reset. this is happening on any ROM so far, and i've tried letting several cabs i need out, however it still results in that kind of crash...
anyone having similar experiences? or is there a fix for this?
WM6.5 is not yet very stable, some crashes appear ramdomly as far as I can see too...
And I think some "old" stuff is not really compatible with it (I think there are more changes than the UI in 6.5)
Let's hope newer releases will correct thoses crashes...

hello there!
yep, i guess you're talking about normal "lock-ups"...however i HAD hardresets...
i was able to fix it by just reflashing the stock 6.1 rom, and then flashed back to 6.5 without switch radio... its working fine until now... i'm gonna report if i have any problems
I've noticed the same. When I go to File Explorer and My Device, it seems most of the files have been deleted, including the windows folder, and the remaining ones have been corrupted (they have names like b[]). If I try to restart the device it won't boot and requires a hard reset.
I've also noticed that this happens after I've synced with ActiveSync for the SECOND time.
EDIT: This issue does not occur with d_train's ROM.
Freezing keyboard
Hi,
With 6.5 roms (what I've been tested) my Niki100 freezes when I starting to enter a name (with soft keyboard) in the new mail/SMS address field. Hard keyboard works perfectly...
Niki 100 16keys
HardSPL 1.22
Radio: 1.71.09.01
Tested ROMs:
Salvy.C.83 v3.2 16keys
WM6.5 Lite ROM build 23007
Insomnia209G
Insomnia209L
NemanjaLO WM 6.5 23007
Anyone have any ideas?
Thx
Jules
I tried with WM6.1 and it freezes too. I think the Full QWERTY keyboard do this...

so does anyone know if we can tweak our touch.dll file to allow the touchflo cube to work? I tried replacing the the touch.dll with the one from the wizard kitchen file and i could see the cube but i lost all touchscreen capabilities until hard reset. If i just try running the cab file and launching the cube without changing the dll file the i get only a black screen.
it works correctly with none of the other htc stuff installed. I had it working using the instructions everyone else used ... accept when i started installing apps, it interfered with them and began not working again (black screen).
Also, it required the new rom update to work (for me).
The problem with that is that you need those apps installed to get full functionality dont you.

For sure...it's not worth losing all the functionality right now just for the cube (IMHO). I'm sure we'll have it soon enough though, these guys are crafty!
OK So the dumped rom is up, Now what do we do to cook up a rom with touchflo cube?

It says in the notes that there are several IMEs (pcm Keyboard...I think CE star) which do not work. On another thread about Chinese IMEs, they noted that most are not working. This is, to me, the worst part about this ROM... I may need to go to another rom because for whatever reason, non-default IMEs are not working.
Well...they sometimes work right after a soft reset...and then fail.
I have English Rom version O2 Xda Atom Pure! Calligrapher worked before on 0.3.0 and original roms. Just this rom won't work on!
try to install G4 SIP Tweak.cab make pcm keyboad as default SIP, it works for me....

Hi and thanks for your help and suggestions. I tried the software you suggested but it didn't work (with calligrapher). Thanks again anyway

if this program works..can u share to me this program and PM to me the Se**al..thanks
Jiggs I know you are busy however I'd just see if there could be any work arounds so I can run Calligrapher. I have tried the suggested "sip change" programs mentioned and also tried sk tools etc. Only if you have time of course! I'd be very grateful. Thanks again for your wonderful work
I have just tested the latest version of caligrapher on my new build. It works perfectly
Caligrapher is cool, but the application is large
I agree with Jiggs. Nice software though.
Could I help test the new build? Or is that too much to ask?
Calligrapher v8.5 works fine for me w/6M pagepool.
Calligrapher uses a LOT of memory. It seems to fail to run when you have too many today plugins (or a few using lots of memory). Here are the things to try:
1. Go to options and set Calligrapher to be the default SIP on reset.
2. Reset the device.
If it still doesn't work:
3. Disable ALL of your today plugins.
4. Reset the device.
If it works now, decide which today plugins you can't live without and turn them on one by one until Calligrapher stops working.
If it did not work, try SIPChange - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008.
Good luck!
Hi guys,
I decided to upgrade my phone the other night, for no other reason then I like to fiddle and see what I can do with things =). WM5 worked fine, but I wanted to check out what WM6 had to offer.
So I download the official upgrade from the HTC member area ( http://www.dopodasia.com/Dopod_Aus ) and install as directed.
Everything went great, and I am pretty happy with WM6.
But after the upgrade, trying to start the camera brings up a dialog box with the error message "Unable to start camera. Unable to initialize Camera". This occurs if I hit the shortcut or run the .exe from explorer.
I downloaded the camera software but trying to overwrite the installed files using activesync yeilds an "unable to overwrite because files are write-protected" error, and attempting to write-enable the files is disallowed (the file just reverts back to write-protected, frustratingly).
I've searched these forums and others, and I can't find any answers.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem when I pass from WM5 to WM6 because I try to restore a backup from my old ROM over my new ROM, thing that is impossible that works well due to registry and file incompatibilities.
I don't know if it's your case or not...

Nope, im not restoring any backups or transferring anything else.
I have the same problem - no answer yet My original report:

The key thing is that reflashing to a known-good ROM doesn't fix it. What about in your case?

Hrmm.. I haven't tried yet, still looking for some sort of workaround or a software solution.
I'll try another OS tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
I also have this error, but...
...occasionally, it works when I do the following:
- Cold boot the device (no soft reset)
- Start the camera, but the screen will display noise
- Close the camera
- Start it again
- Second time, it will operate as expected
But funny enough, this trick doesn't work all the time...
I have friends and collegues that also upgraded and they don't experience this problem at all...
Same thing here... I bought 4 att 8525 units at ebay. they already came with wm6 3.57 from cingular.
3 units are working with no problems, but the camera stopped working in one of the phones.
I've tried everything (I think) , soft reset, hard reset, rom upgrade/downgrade.
A little of history ... so maybe some guru out there figures out what the f.. is going on:
1) The camera used to work fine.
2) Suddenly it began to fail saving pictures to the SC (sandisk 2gb) . All the phones have the same card.
If you choose to save to main memory, it worked.
3) The same day, the message "unable to initialize camera" started to show everytime I tried to start the camera application (4.0).
4) I tought it may be a failure SC, so I removed the SC, reset the phone but nothing changed.
5) Incredibly.... after then phone been turned off for a while... when I turned it on, the camera worked. Took a few pics... and the same error again!
6) Soft reset, hard reset.... nothing...
7) Updated SPL, radio and Rom (schaps 3.57) and the camera did work again!!!!! (with the SC in) .... after a few hours (no applications or skin applied) the error came back.
8) repeated those steps..... but no luck this time....
9) removed sim, sc and repeat steps.... no luck...
10 ) now, it is not working.... I tried coolcamera... but it does not start... tried camera 4.11... nothing... I went through the registry comparing with the other phones... everything is correct.
11) now I am thinking it is hw problem... but how is it possible that it works from time to time??????
Well... I almost gave up looking for a solution.... any idea would be great!
(what is a cold reset? )
thanks
fabian
Good news!!...
I just downloaded this cab that says it corrects SC bad management.
After installing the cab... turning off/on the phone... the camera works!!
(I don't know for how long it will work... but at least it is alive! )
Good luck and please share your experience with this cab !!
fabian
I can't believe it.... it worked for 2 hours... I did nothing with the phone... when I got the phone to send a sms, I tried again the camera... and it did not work!!!!!
(((
this is really weird!!
Well... this seems more like a "blog" than a forum .
Yesterday night I try removing the battery for 15 minutes. Then I turned on the phone and the camera started working.
I was really pesimist about the time it will keep working well... so I took pictures , recorded video, store them into main memory, into SC .. I really messed up with the camera ... everything worked well... tryed also Coolcamera application and took picture at maximum resolution (1600x1200 I think) .. everything Ok.
The camera is still working today... I did soft reset and it is still working... I'm trying step by step every action... synchronize.. wi-fi... phone... sms.. mms.. etc etc...and the camera still working...
I wonder how long will this work.. and what the hell does taking away the battery ???? Does it clean something in the ram ?
Any answer???
fabain
damn
I was really hopeful of this cab...
installed it and nada...
trying the battery trick (again) with this new cab installed to see maybe well just maybe...
fingers crossed

Hey ya all,
Did a ROM upgrade
Schaps Pro New Very excellent to state the least!
Did a re-store (double dump move!)
Used SK Tools to re-store old backup of entire system (that was the double dumb move not the using the the fantastic SK Tools app!
Camera worked as well as a 2pixel can, but now get "Unable to start Camera not enough storage is available blah blah
So I did a search found a cab to a Kaiser link to rabidshare and tried to download 6 in a couple of days NO go on that,
http://rapidshare.com/files/97924716/Nadavi_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00_NEW_HTC_FIX.cab
Rabidshare doesn't finish download most every time I try on PC or phone!
Can anyone provide another link to download form please please!
So I tried another cab on this forum ArtemisSDeng and no go with soft rest.
Took battery and micro card out, 15 minutes (what-ever) no go on that either. . .
Have
Storage FREE 32.96 MB
Programs free 27.81 MB
So NOW what can I do besides buy a new Tynt and not restore old system restore over a NEW ROM?
Much help please?
where are updated cameras anyway?
I am currently running version 3.0 build 25498 HTC Camera on my Wizard with WM6 (NBD v9.2) ROM. Where can I find updated camera files. I tried a ROM once that had version 3.3 on it and it seemed to work better but I haven't found any standalone copies of the camera programs.
Anyone?
Can I use this cab for my HTC TYTN II (Kaiser) or its ony for Artemis ?
Hope this helps,
The reason that my camera messed up after installing a new ROM, is that I re-stored my device with a whole system restore!
This covered over the new upgraded settings found in the NEW ROM with old settings/ configuration !
SO I reinstalled the OLD ATT ROM (yuk) and BINGO camera works as it did before the undated ROM!
Now I going to reinstall the NEW cooked ROM, without the restore system and just hand install all my 6 apps, so I don't mess up the updated camera settings!
Maybe next week hopefully!
Hope that helps someone, so they can run a cooked ROM without messing up their camera!
Later!
madefree, you can restore all the old setup of your phone with SPB Backup ver2. It has an upgrade rom mode that doesn't alter the os at all but puts things back as they were on your old os. Today screen how you like it, any apps you've installed(fully regged). The only thing I've found was that for some roms I had to re-install the .net framework 3.5 as it DOESN'T alter the OS files. Well worth the money..
Cheers...
Thanks much ultramag69 for that info on the v2, as I was doing a flash on LVSW Edition ROM in about 20 minutes, so maybe dnload SPB Backup v2 and give it a try!
I just wish Sktools did that same type install, since I already bought that app!
Again thanks!

Could somebody help me - please?

did you try hard reset, because mine works just fine . i dunno about others in here
What rom are you running and did you perform a Hard Reset after installing the current rom?
The HR after an upgrade may seem trivial but it can eliminate many issues and is considered a "Best Pratice".
Cheers

I am using the irus full WM6.1 Rom.
I have tried several times a hardreset and also the irus 6.1 Vanilla - but it didn´t work. I have tried the original T-MO WM6 and it works fine but the rest of this Rom is ****. I want to use the irus rom with a working built in encryption. i don´t want to use other encryption software but i want my data to be encryptet :-(
Well i can't comment on the current Irus roms because I have not tried them, I also like to have encryption. I have been using the encryption option that is built in to Resco Explorer (One of my Must Have Apps) Not sure if this helps but it is a thought.
Cheers
BR
thanks - the resco explorer encryption is ok but i would prefer an on-the-fly encryption - the WinMobile built in encryption is also good because you don´t need a password and it is fast.
could somebody give me his working files wich i need for the encryption - maybe my are brocken - so i could try to replace.
Good Morning everybody,
Yesterday i installed the darkstone android Froyo on my HTC HD2, it worked pretty fine.
I reboot the phone to finish the installation and everything was normal. I download apps on the market ... all's good.
But i realize taht i've got no ringstone, i plug the phone on the computer and put the "media file" in the SD card.
I reboot the mobile and try to launch CLRCAD and HARET but i got the followinf message "The file XXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found"
I tried :
to format my SD,
to put a new install of android,
to reboot my phone,
to read different thread about this problem,
to test different program like Security configuration manager ...
I think that the problem doesn't come from Android build (it worked 2 times before) but win mobile ?
Here's my conf :
2.08 HDSPL
radio 2.12.50.02_2
darkstone froyo 2.1
rom 1.66 483 0 (76641) FRE (Bouygues telecom)
I don't understand what i did it wrong, it pretty worked and after 2 reboots i can't launch android.
Please can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance for your reply
Mike
Same issue
Hi,
I'm having this same issue. I hope someone can help. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the SD card. Did somehow the registry got corrupted? Please help.
Registry restore did not fix issue

To test my theory that it was a registry issue, I restored the registry that I backed up before installing Android. It DID NOT fix the issue.
What does that mean? It seems that everything that comes with the WM ROM works fine. It only effects the applications that were installed and not OEM.

I've now deleted my Android folder and the .folder and will see if that helps. I don't believe it will because I've removed the SD card and the programs I installed on the ROM still did not work. I'm hoping I don't need to do a hard reset. That would be a pain.
That only thing I did before having this issue was that I installed several games from the Android market place; final fantasy 6, angry birds, and a couple of others.
Had the exact same problem running FroyoStone Sense - V3.1. Couldn't even install SDKcerts. Tried everything & the only solution was a hard reset.
