Heyy ya'll,
I recently updated my MDA Vario IV with the new rom, and i noticed the changed a few things.
for example the wheather tab has been replaced with a mobileTV tab. and the flip clock has also ben removed. there is also a Web n widget tab added which is pretty nice, but i really want the weather tab back and de flip clock.
can anybody help me?
Did you try looking at the settings to see if the tabs were there and just not active?
yeah i did, and all the tabs are active...
tnx for the suggestion tho.. any other thoughts?
Not familiar with the MDA Vario ...
I've been using mostly ROMs from here for a while. You may want to try to reload the TF3D from XBox. That will bring back the weather for sure and the flip clock. You can download Manila TV and add that in. Not sure what you could do for Web n WIdget Tab, but I would do a search on all three:
Web n Widget Tab
Manila TV
Manilla Complete Xbox
and you should be able to just load them up.
Also, do a search on TF3D or Manilla and you will find a lot of pages that have work that folks have done for all kinds of fonts, clocks, tabs, highlites, etc.
Hope this helps
sorry for the late reply.. been having some problems with my internet..
anywho i'll be sure to try this tnxx
well i tried it but it did work
probably because the t-mobile rom is 1.95 version??
Is your Startmenü also black background with black text? The 1.95 ROM of T-Mobile was only for couple of minutes on my Vario, it's the worst I have ever seen... After that I installed a Win Mobile 6.5 ROM with TF3D2 and now I'm happy
really cool.. can you tell me wich version you installed of win mobile 6.5? i would like to install that one 2
Not sure what version Kobip has installed. I'm currently using the latest from NRG his second 23009 build. And it works great. It does not have the Manila TV in the ROM and I haven't tried to install it separately.
Also, the latest Chrome ROM is nice and has the manilla tv already installed.
Ahen's ROM has some nice visual enhancements to it as well.
I think you've probably only been using the "official" release ROMs which from my experience aren't near as nice as what you will find here.
You'll want to unlock your phone...HardSPL etc. See the Sticky by Olipro on the Raphael ROM page. This not only allows you to flash non T-Mobile ROMs, but will help prevent you from "bricking" your phone.
You'll find that the customizations that you can do once you get away from the stock ROMs will make your phone look and perform better.
Good Luck
tnx for the tips mwcostello
I also tried the HardSPL.. but the screen goes black and resets.. it doesn't install the win 6.5 rom. don't really know what i am doing wrong.
Could you maybe posted the links here? i'm kinda a noob on this site
i can verify that the latest NRG ROMs work well on the MDA Vario IV
have a nosey at the 'flashing for noobs' thread in this forum - HardSPL is only the start of flashing ......
or feel free to PM me ... but be aware im no expert or chef

Great points...let me add to it
Here is the Raphael Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael
The wiki is laid out nicely and has tons of information. Scroll down to "GSM Upgrading/cooking/flashing:"
I don't remember if it was with the Raphael that I had to do some of the work arounds or not... I also Hard SPL and Unlocked a Hermes and Kaiser (8525 and Tilt). With one of them, I believe it was the last option for SSPLs... so don't lose faith...
heyy guys,
checked out the raphael wiki and i've been enjoying the the standard energyrom for quite some time now and it looks great!
the only thing is some of my hard keyboard buttons dont work like they're supossed too.. any ideas?

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?

Hey all,
Thanks to you guys, I was able to upgrade my Qwest Mogul by installing (in order);
titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
3.35.651.2 Official Sprint ROM
DCD_3.0.1_Qwest.exe
So far, everything appears to work.. I haven't (yet?) encountered any GPS, Bluetooth, Contacts or WiFi issues as I've been reading about, and hope it continues working properly.
I'm now looking to restore/achieve the following;
1.) I want the stock games back
2.) Which GPS launcher is best to use with TomTom Navigator 6 so I don't have to open Google Maps every time?
3.) How can I fully customize the Today screen and the window borders? I thought there was a way when using a custom ROM.. so far, I've found only the stock skins..
TIA
-mak
for the stock games run a search in the forum for it, i dont use them so i have no idea where they are.
the rom should have included "quickgps" i think it is which should initiate gps for your tomtom.
Today screen is going to be the same, you can't do much to it unless you install WAD/WA, spb mobile shell, etc. Check the dev/hacking section of this site for themes/skins/etc
Glad to hear it all went well. If you really want you can try the kitchen next, you can choose the "entertainment" option for the games, but i'd read up on kitchens quite a bit before messing around with them.
What exactly are the kitchens for? I've got one of them on my desktop and didn't know what to do with it..

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..

@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???
Hi, I have a htc touch as well and really liked the 6.1 Professional that Erofich bought to us... so I managed to make my StarTrek look really cool.. wanted to share these few things to people who use it..
1st is a black Vista theme.. just copy it and paste it in your phone's /windows folder and change it from the today settings..
2nd is my fav.. its called dcinobar.. which remove the bottom bar from the home screen in your 6.1... and that make's your wallpaper look really cool..
and 3rd is something that made me think to add this thread.. its to hide the sim contacts..
hmmmm
4th one which i am testing right now us called HTC X button.. whcih close's a windows rather then minimizing it
Edit:
thank you for pointing that out lewnetoons.. i have updated it with Tom_fix_WM5 Storage and have also tested it..and its working fine.. and some thing else I tried out was the SPB mobile sheel 2 that i am using in my touch.. its working great.... and to be honest.. much faster then the touch.. .. the link to download that is http://flmsdown.net/software/24298-spb-mobile-shell-v2.0.0-build-3275.html
i would also be editing more things as i use it....
incase you found anything here useful.. the complete credit goes to Erofich.. i just had these file's in my hard drive.. i hope Erofich know's that he did a major thing for the StarTrek.. anyways the list of 6.1 expansion is endless.. i am also using fring right now.. which is a VOIP software from fring.com... try it out..
took a small video showing off SPB mobile shell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jaQO6EZL80
wm5storage doesnt work on 6.1 for me.
wm6.1 pro
you need to be using the pro version, works fine for me

Dcinobar
dcinobar doesnt install on my smartphone...it says that the program is not intended for this device....i have a smartflip runing erofichs wm 6.1 does anyone have dcinobar that works for this?
im not sure if it will work on a startrek, as i have a hermes, just thought id let you know that if you install
HTC Task Manager
then you get the additional functionality of XButton too aswell as the taskmanager
But its posted in the startrek forum....so i thought it would be meant for it.. any alternative program that has same function as dcinobar?
i was referring to HTC Task manager as stated in my post
i dont own a star trek but thought you all might benefit from it rather than using X Button..
however the thread poster does own a startrek, and the dcinobar application works for him, so id suggest just wait until he can support you with it.
Read the first post carefully - its for Wm6.1 Professional, NOT Standard!
kind of my miss there mickeyt500 ...i have updated it.. anyways do try out the 6.1 pro version.. its worth it.. i am loading it on my 2nd StarTrek right now..
@sujahat
Could you tell me whether the Wisbar Application is Freeware or not?
Were can I get it?
wisbar is worth around $10http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvance/

I installed numerous versions of the HTC Home and no matter what i do it does not show on the Today screen.

run SoftSPL
thanks Erofich ! I use your RUU_STAR100_WM61PRO_V2 exe file, do I run softSPL first and then the intire exe file or do I need to run them all individually?
great rom work by the way!
First off, I need to thank everyone on this site for the wealth of information that is contained here. I took my stock XV6800 and walked through several tutorials and I've put on 4 different ROM's in 2 days, all of them with the GPS functioning like a champ and everything on the phone running swimmingly.
A special thanks to mr-free for his prompt responses and dcd for his excellent guides.
Anyway, I've already used two kitchens so far to make custom roms (Titan Kitchen 6.5 Beta 4, and Titan Reloaded 1.3.2). Both create very usable ROM's but there's aspects of each that I like better than the others. Since Kitchen 6.5 uses WM 6.5, I'd like to start with that one, but there are several OEM packages that I would like to add to it from Titan Reloaded, as well as a couple of other ones that I've found from the web.
And so I'm not flamed, I have searched and found the following information about Alex's Cooking Kits helpful, but still not completely sufficient to answering my questions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's Cooking Kits
And on to the questions:
1) Is it possible to just copy the folders from the OEM folder of the Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 kitchen into the OEM folder of the 6.5 Beta 4 Kitchen and have them show up in the "BuildOS" menu?
2) Are the instructions in Alex's Cooking Kits applicable to the Titan? Its geared towards the Kaiser, and I couldn't find anything that would lead me to believe it is compatible with the Titan. If not, is there a "Cooking Kit" suitable for the Titan?
I'm not to the point where I'm capable of creating my own OEM packages, but I'm gunning for that too eventually. No questions on that though...yet.
The only question I can help with is your first. The OEM packages from Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 should be able to be copied into pretty much any kitchen.
Note that the Manila_2d_Scott OEM from Titan Reloaded kind of depends on the SYS\dcd_UCAutorun package, as it installs the first M2D theme from CAB at boot. This may be fixed in later versions by making a seperate config.txt for m2d. That way the OEM package will be more portable.
Note that the Youtube package from Titan Reloaded also requires the YTFIX package, but those will hopefully be merged in later versions.
Other than that, you just need to watch out for conflicting packages. Usually buildos will give you errors if this happens, so you'll know.
Awesome, that's really helpful.
Actually m2d is not something I was planning on keeping anyway. I'm moving from a Samsung i760 (dreadfully unhackable) but in an attempt to make it more usable, I actually paid for SPB Mobile Shell, and SPB Phone Suite. I've gotten quite addicted to using them and I don't find m2d to be a sufficient replacement for primarily the lack of ring profiles. Ring/Vib/Silent just isn't enough for me. (And PhoneAlarm doesn't have what I need either.)
What I was looking to move though was:
Adobe Reader 2.5
YouTube (with the YTFIX, now, obviously)
HTC Album
Tweak_Volume_Higher
no2chem_nueExtROM
There aren't any dependencies there that I need to be aware of, are there?
I couldn't find Google Maps in the OEM folder from Titan Reloaded but its no big deal, I can download it I guess.
I guess I should have mentioned that to use the no2chem_nueExtROM package, you'll need to add these lines to the bottom of ROM\XIP\boot.rgu.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"Name"=""
"PartitionDriver"=""
"MountHidden"=dword:0
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV\FATFS]
"FormatTFAT"=dword:1
"EnableWriteBack"=dword:1
"EnableCache"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\EXT_FLASHDRV"
"LoadFlags"=dword:1
"Order"=dword:12
"Bootphase"=dword:2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\EXT_FLASHDRV]
"Profile"="EXT_FLASHDRV"
"Index"= dword:1
"Dll"="OEM_FLASHDRV.dll"
"Prefix"="DSK"
"Order"=dword:13
"IClass"=multi_sz:"{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
It's possible that this is what's causing some people problems with Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 though. If you've already used Titan Reloaded 1.3.2, you probably don't have to worry about this. It might not even be the cause though. Most people are having no problems with it.
Also, based on someone's post in the 6.5 ROM thread, you'll likely want to remove this file from the kitchen before adding in an adobe reader package:
SYS\OEMAPPS\ppc_adobereaderle.exe
Titan Reloaded installs GoogleMaps from CAB during customizations. Since Google is likely to upgrade the app often, I'd recommend that you just download it and install like you said.
Those are the only caveats I can think of for the packages that you mentioned.

x2 .. I find that loading programs as CABs or during customizations
is a damm cool and a better idea then loading it all in the ROM,
just having that options to remove something is a very good feeling lol

Heh, I've got a little more patience than "Give it to me now!" but yes, this does sound very nice. The omission of Office was also something that was really bugging me about 6.5.
In the meantime I ended up playing around with PPCkitchen and WOW are there a lot of packages. Too many actually. It takes me 15 minutes to go through them all. The build I'm running today is pretty good, but I still wish I was running WM6.5. I'm sure I'll come across your ROM once you've got it uploaded. XDA is rapidly becoming one of my favorite sites (and not to mention a huge time sink!!)
Anyone can add office to 6.5. Just get the oem from BuildOS and put it in the oem folder for beta 4,
Wow, its that easy huh?
I think I'll just do that then! This place rules!
