i see you still didnt update the first post with WM6.5 219xx build? Lots of peeps(including me) look at first post for newest builds instead of searching a whole thread:)

Now for the release - running it for the last 3 days and here are my initial imressions:
1) AwEsOme
2) read #1
3) The problem with slow loading sms screen is gone!(i have over 4k sms stored and 21502 build(your version 16) was struggling each time i would open main sms screen or slide out/in keyboard, took over 1 min:(. With this build - 2 secs(although very first time after restoring with PIM it took over 20mins to open and load all messages)
4) Works perfect with S2U2 version 2.4, previous build was buggy for example would show corrupted screen with incoming call and s2u2 enabled - not anymore!
5) Restoring mobile shell setting finally works(not sure why but on previous build it would fail to restore) - giant time saver
6) screen rotation is uber fast when sliding keyboard - much improved over previous
7) overall very fast and responsive!!!

Only problem i have found is opening biggish word files takes forever - for example to open 90kb file(yes thats kb not mb) takes over a 3 mins. The file is stored on my 16gb storage card but its class6 card(min 6mb/sec transfer rating) Any clue on what the problem here is? I literally have to split all my word files in pieces to open them now without loosing all my hair:(

Will continue testing and report back - but so far
THIS IS THE BEST ROM I HAVE EVER TRIED!!! (not to mention the only one remaining with Mobile Shell3 instead of TF3D crap)

Just wanted to thank you for making such an incredible ROM. I can't stand touchflo and I've been using SPB mobile shell since I got my TouchPro a year ago. This just adds heaps of icing to the cake!

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

I've verified the link, wanna test it again? I'll test opening a big word file today, I think I need to create one first. But glad your liking it!
Good you all are diggin my stuff! It's maybee time to break it again and add some more too it. :) How am I doing on the functionality of all the programs? You Tube, FaceBook, etc?

And a note on my sprintnerd's Rhodium rom...lol... I've apparently deleted a few of the components that make it my rom. I'll track those down and refresh on sunday hopefully. Sorry for the delays.

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

I've been using this for only one day but here are my nitpicks so far:

1) Texting - when in another program and a 'text message received' notification comes up, I click 'reply' and the cursor isn't in the reply box. I don't know if this is a general WM6.5 issue because I'm fairly new to the custom rom world.

2) Facebook isn't included in rom, would like to see that come included in future builds.

3) I'd like to see the game pack that is included to be attached or linked as a separate install bundle. I don't really play any of these games and would like the option to remove them.

It's hard coming up with anything to quibble over, you've done a fantastic job. I love the increased functionality of my phone now, many thanks and looking forward to future versions!

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

1) If you find a solution, let me know. I hadn't noticed that before...I'm an old fart and don't text much. :)

2) Included in next release, "Facebook 1.0.0.7p"...

3) Those are sorta like my signature. I don't play them much anymore, but occassionally I need to kill 30 minutes on a conference call, and they come in handy. They have all been optimized to take up the least amount of memory and the touch pro has it.

It's good to hear feedback like that! While this is my personal rom, I am always willing to tweak on it just a little bit. I may be looking to change it up a bit, I haven't decided yet...

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

Hey RSTG, figured I post a comment here since I became a VIP in your Diamond thread and will hit 1K in thanks given!! Going old school RSTG Irish mafia style. :) now regarding the questions

1. I think your right it's a 6.5 thing, tf2.1 texting is so much better.
2. I always install facebook 1.0.0.7 to internal storage/storage card for tpro after the fact and it works flawlessly plus doesn't take up device memory.
3. here the link for the mega game pack so maybe you can link this post and people can add via internal storage but like you said it's your personal rom. now...beep.....play "icbm"! http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...mega+game+pack

What is the recommended radio for the 8/4/2009 win6.5?

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

I think you've deserved your 1,000th Thanks from the ShackFather himself. :twisted: Well deserved!

I'm not on that bus, a radio is usually a radio to me. I'm currently on 1.03.15F. The PRL however does make a deal, and I'm on 60652...

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

Is there a better alternative stand-alone program to solve the 6.5 woes?
Or can the TF SMS/MMS/Email module be installed separately and linked to the SPB shell?

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

There is a very annoying bug that i didnt not find solution to as of yet in your 6.5 build. While on the call the screen keeps shutting of, does not look like its a proximity sensor issue since even if its set to speaker phone and just sits on the table- it still shuts off, if you turn it back on it with power button it shuts off again in few secs again. Makes it very hard to impossible to be on the phone and check your calendar at the same time for example. Any known fix for this?

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

Not sure i get what you saying here, what link should i test? perhaps you missunderstood me - i was saying that your very first post in this thread(on the very first page(1) - top-most post by you) still lists 23xxx build of WM6.5 as being the latest and not the 219xx as it should. If i missed and you talking about something else - please let me know

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

I think I know what you mean...I had a build 23xxx but had too many issues with it. So this last build I reverted back to 21921. Now I've got my hands on 23017 and seeing what it will do. I've read it fixes the issues.

So,
1) 23004 was scrapped and last mentioned,
2) then reverted to stable build 21921 which is the last release,
3) currently on calcu's latest release 23017. Well, diving in now. Should have something up my sun down if it all works out!

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the update.

A couple of quick questions.

I have a license for Mobile Shell but not for Phone Suite, is it possible to uninstall Phone suite?

When using the lock I know I can long press the end key to activate it, is there a way to have it automatically come on after a minute or so of no use? If I activate that setting in the lock settings it makes me enter a password. I just want it to lock and then I can slide it to unlock.

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

can someone tell me how to flash this with just the nbh file he has since theres no custom rom update option. thanks

It says it is for Diamond but everything is the same and the files are the same.

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

You can simply disable the Today Screen plugin. For the lock, look into S2U2 located at http://www.ac-s2.com/. The built-in lock will be removed as it interferes with the S2A dialer that I prefer...

I had issues with the file uploading off the checksum or something. So I only uploaded the .nbh. You can drop it into any other RUU folder, just delete the other .nbh file...

Man, I love the way this rom looks and it has everything I would like to have but for some reason my TP is so sluggish and is freezing up. Is this a common problem? I loaded the 6.1 works pretty well, but I have been on the 6.5 too long to go back to that. :( Any advice as to why it may be freezing up and running sluggish? Thanks in advance.

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

Mine runs fine, either 6.1 or 6.5. It's my experience over the years w/high-tech-phones, they don't like what happened in your bathroom. lol... You may try re-flashing. Btw...Did the watermark on the battery get activated?

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

Yeah, they dont like water. No, to the watermark(s) being activated. I have reflashed my phone atleast 5 times today. I really like the 6.5 but its freezing up. It will run the Might Rom6 just fine, but it is unstable with this rom. Its froze right now. I like this rom b/c it offers the sprint tv and nav, and it has pacman(s) and it looks nice. I have been using SPB since the first week of having the phone also, so this rom is on point for me. I just wish it worked for me. I guess ill just have to load mighty rom back on for a little while longer, but to me it has nothing on this rom as of now besides it works for my phone. lol

Sweet, going to dl here in a bit. Can't wait to check out the new ride!! Do you have standard wm dialer or tachi?

White S2A dialer... I'm gonna revisit that tonight so I can see what I can do to get that fancy volume control back.

Great to see you back. I tried a few other roms in your absence but I still come back to your mobile shell rom. I tried Merdins but yours seems to have more in it.
I dl this morning on my Cellular South touch pro and all is well with the basic usage. Phone works and emails set up easily enough.
Some things I have noticed after a couple of hours are

• Battery seem to drain a little faster
• When I turn phone back on instead of seeing start I see messaging on the home page, I hit the X and it goes away and then I see the start.
• Do you have a "WINDOWS DEFAULT" page like other 6.5 roms

Also side note have you seen "winterface" launcher its pretty cool. Find it here

Again thank for your detail to your work and do you ever sleep. lol :thumbleft:

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.28 (WM6.1) & v23017.28(WM6.5) .-. 8/24/
 

Did you try a hard reset. or flashing to a stock rom first then re-flashing Rstg rom? them 2 options might take care of those issues.

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

any update on this, was this fixed in 23017 by any chance?

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

I was kinda hoping you would let us know. :)

edit: looking into that now...

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.MS31.28 WM6.1 & WM6.5 .-. 8/4/09
 

This can be turned off by....Yep, LightSensorPollingEnable. Make the following changes in the registry:

HKCU/ControlPanel\BackLight
"LightSensorPollingEnable" = 0

Softreset...

That should turn it off for you. Not sure about a location in the menu or anything...

My phone is back up and running with the Mighty Rom6. I am going to load your latest on my phone today when I get home and if it doesnt work, im calling Sprint up for a new phone. My lady friend said that my phone has been sending her the same email, and she has told me this 4 time. :( I dont know what could be causing that.

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.28 (WM6.1) & v23017.28(WM6.5) .-. 8/24/
 

thanks alot, but i do have one question? what is the programed used on your today screen that shows your launcher programs? the phone, message and picture icon with the "sprint" right above it

flawless execution!!!!!! Wow, startup is fast. Built in GFX keeps everything running quick and smooth. Tab colors are great(glad green's gone).
I did do a pri upgrade before flashing, updated profile, soft reset. dcd load and soft reset---but that's it. Running awsome. Battery seems pretty good so far. I haven't got it below 10% and then a re-charge to see the full life yet.
Great job!

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.28 (WM6.1) & v23017.28(WM6.5) .-. 8/24/
 

I don't know if it's something I did, how do I get task manager from closing everything out... I just answered my own question.. It was quickmenu that was closing my programs out on x....... Besides that 6.5 is running pretty smooth.

After boot what's the average expected memory available?

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.28 (WM6.1) & v23017.28(WM6.5) .-. 8/24/
 

Once again, I am lovin' it!! This is definitely the ROM for me. I've tried and tested almost everything that has came out. I'm not sure what it is about RSTOYGUY's roms? Maybe it's the fact that they are "Turn-Key" right from the first flash. Add your custom tweaks and BAM!! You a are all set.

I have absolutely no feedback.

Except, Thanks!!

And occasionally you might want to screw something up. People might get used to perfection and then they might start expecting it. ;)

I just loaded the lastest 6.5 rom and here are a few things I have noticed. When texting, you click on keyboard and it does not place cursor in box for you to start typing. next when i have phone locked and i get a call, i am losing the call before i can unlock and press answer. Other than that, have not noticed anything else.

The lockscreen doesn't play nice with my dialer of choice, S2A. I don't use it and have it on the calendar to play with that tachi dialer. The texting thing I haven't got down, I just make it a habit to tap the input area when I text. I'll revisit that as well...

Re: .-. RSTG Roms - Spb MobileShell Raph v3.28 (WM6.1) & v23017.28(WM6.5) .-. 8/24/
 

Is there another way to lock? If I dont lock I end up calling people I dont want to talk to. :) Thanks for a great rom.
