CDMA Verizon Touch Pro XIP - WM6.5 21815 23009 23016 23028 23047 23049

[FormerPalmOS]

Please see previous thread here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=53848

Just started a new thread instead of bogging down the original thread. These XIPs are in "old-style kitchen" format - ROM folder with os.nb.payload and boot.rgu in the ROM\XIP. I do not include WinCENLS - make sure this is in your SYS. Unless otherwise stated, these are 6.1 native kernel (nk.exe), 12MB page pool, spinlock patched. I also include the no2chem DDI.dll and GxDMA.dll drivers. Make sure you don't duplicate those drivers in your kitchen.

Edit 21-Sep - New thread here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86398 with WM6.5 native kernel versions starting with 23047.

EDIT 17-Sep - 23049 XIP with cachefilt.dll tested, booting and uploaded. Jury is still out on 23049. Seems fast but still some GUI strangeness.

EDIT 18-Aug - 23016 XIP with cachefilt.dll tested, booting and uploaded. Neither this nor 23028 has had extensive system testing, but they both boot and seem fast after a few minutes of playing around. I will report back on the stability or any other issues after I've played longer.

EDIT 17-AUG - new version of 23028 XIP with cachefilt.dll tested, booting and uploaded. Seems really fast compared to 23009 XIP/SYS without cachefilt.dll. But could be OS. I don't like the UI changes (bigger bottom button bar) so I'm probably going to an earlier release - between 23028 and 23009.

EDIT 16-Aug - 23009 up. Been running this for about a month. No XIP problems. 23009 doesn't seem all that snappy. This XIP is missing cachefilt.dll. I believe it will be faster with this. 10Mb PP.

EDIT 1-Jul - New version of 21815 attached (see 21815a). 10MB PP.


Note, I could not get a booting ROM if I tried to recover the freed-up virtual memory. Could be new Verizon MR1 native kernel, could be WM6.5 system. Giving up on this - bang for the buck is low. Use stock .ROM and .VM when cooking.

Note - tested ONLY on a VZW Touch Pro. Previous XIPs have also worked on Sprint Touch Pros but I have no way to test. Definitely NOT for GSM devices or for Diamonds!!
