yeah, I knew what ya meant....I just wanted to let ya know that the verizon version was basically a sprint rom but had the verizon customization.

you can also flash the bell official rom to upgrade your radio, just remember to skip the post-flash carrier customization.

-snip-

I can't speak for how Audio Manager handles it's searching and whatnot -- and I realized you solved your problem for the most part, but here is something to consider:

I've got a Sansa e260 mp3 player... when you add or remove files it has to rebuild it's database of songs... it's capable of holding 4gb... if it's completely full it will take around 2 minutes to rebuild the database. From what I heard, the 8gb versions took significantly longer to rebuild the database...

You're using an 8gb card... depending on how Audio Manager cycles through that card, you might expect it to take a while. (Yes other programs may have better ways of accessing the files.)

Just something to keep in mind... (ie: if speed is really a problem, might want to trim your collection).

I didn't tell OMJ soon enough to for him to put this fix put into the Manilla v3 ROM, but if you're interested in having higher video recording resolution...

Check out this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=582

It's relevant to OMJ's ROMs because he added it already, but the (original posted) instructions are incorrect. It requires use of a registry editor so if that makes you squeamish, just wait til another ROM comes out...

OMJ, i noticed in nfsfans roms he has the htc diamond video drivers in his rom...any chance of incorporating this into yours? Or does anyone know where to find it in cab form?

I have seen a youtube video showing the difference with and with out the driver and it seems to help out alot!

ah thanks :).

btw my problem i had with Touchflo reloading after pressing 'up' to move to a new email message seems to be a problem with a specific message. it was an ebay message. when trying to go to that, it crashes touchflo. removing the message and pressing up worked again.

also is there a reason why word autocompletion wouldnt work in browsers, like to finish a search in google?

I may be moving to the Diamond also

lol....there's lots of info over XDA

not sure

I havent found that answer yet

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

xD OMJ!
do you mean you'll be selling your touch and getting a Diamond ?
or you only mean making a Diamond rom ? because I am confused as to what the difference is between diamond Rom and manila 2d... :S

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

I hope this hasn't already been answered, but is there a reason my custom weather cities isn't working anymore? I copied the newest file into the windows directory, but it still shows the original cities, even after I reset the phone. Does the newest version of manilla need something extra to get it to work?

Thanks,

Wes

Just curious...is there anyway to associate clicking the Calender button to ThumbCal instead of default winmobile one?

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

Wes, this hasn't been answered here yet (I think), but there are three fixes I came across on XDA:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2124
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1089
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2930

I haven't had a chance to try the first two, but the third one seems to be for a different problem/cause... Let us know if one works better than the rest for you... I'll give these a shot later on this weekend.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

The 2nd link helped me the most. I guess I never downloaded the new manilla2d.exe file to replace in the windows directory...I was still using one from late Sept. Once I downloaded and copied the manilla2d.exe file to windows, it found my custom cities and works now. :)

Thanks again,

Wes

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

yepper....though my Touch is running superb, the diamond outperforms.

which rom are you using? v3 has the same m2d....I always use HHC to set the custom city.

make sure you are disabling TouchFlo before copying the file to /windows.

I don't think so. I think it's hard coded in m2d.

the new m3d.exe is already in the rom.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

There actually is a way; you can't change the hard-coded soft button, but you can change the file it is activating. Mine points to thumb call using vjbrisk explained here on XDA:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2271

By the way, a lot of the M2D questions are answered in post #3 (quick fixes) of the M2D thread at XDA (and if they're not, try searching the thread):

What verison ? Update 18 or 19 ?

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

I believe 18 because when he released it it was still 18. 19 came after his release.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

Wow...Manila2d is quite a bit nicer than last time I checked it out. Here are my first observations:

The Good:
1. Nice and solid, no issues and I tried to break it... :)
2. The weather Rocks! It's raining here, and when you activate the widget, the screen get's dotted with drops of rain and a windshield wiper wipes it away! Nice animation...
3. YouTube works...never used it, but what else ya gonna do on a rainy day?
4. I discovered you can set the launcher to 5x9. Good stuff...

The Bad:
1. Launcher's empty
2. There is an update for livesearch available that the program catches...
3. Gotta revive my sdconfig.txt... lol... not...

The Ugly:
1. Them green boot up screens don't seem to fit... I gotta 2 second fix I can pm you when I get home...late tonight...

Other than that, great rom! Keep up the good work!

Hello All..... tried this for the first time.... now sitting at screen that says HTC smart mobility, but it isn't moving from there.

My phone is a Verizon vx6900
pre-update startup screen:
M 03
B 01
P ACAAAAM-4070
R 1.60.30
D 1.15

post ROM screen:
M 03
B 01
P ACAAAAM-4070
R 1.60.30
D 3.09

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I am stuck. :( btw.... if I press power, camera and soft boot I get the unlocked three color screen and can connect to USB. If I reboot to the HTC smart mobility screen i can do nothing.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

Your Radio is only 1.60.3? You'll need to follow the steps in the first post to be able to flash...

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

Thanks for your quick reply.... I did this, which i believe is why when I press power, camera and soft boot I get the unlocked three color screen.

Also, I did try the Official Bell Rom, but receive an error " ERROR[294]: INVALID VENDOR ID"

Any further suggestions would be great.

Thanks Again.


******Update --- what happens if the phone is not unlocked correctly and stuck at this point. I try to re-unlock and get "no device connected" thanks again****************

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

get back into bootloader mode (camera+power+reset), verify what version bootloader you are at....it should say in the upper left:

SPL-2.31.CoKe

if so, leave it in bootloader, connect the USB cable, then run the Bell Official exe & flash....make sure you skip the post flash carrier customization.

this will upgrade your radio, you must do this to proceed.


fyi---when in bootloader mode your activesync will not show u connected.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

I did not install the unlocker correctly. the 2nd line does not say SPL-2.31.CoKe.. I tried to re-install the unlocker, but to no avail. do you have any suggestions with this bootloader version issue?

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

I thought maybe you needed to flash a 6.0 rom, but being that you're not unlocked that may not work either.

what i would do is send a PM to ImCokeMan and get his opinion.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

just to try... do you know of a 6.0 rom?

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

i think this may work, but if it does I'm almost sure it would have to be a "shipped/official" rom.

I'll see what I can dig up.....it definitely wont be a verizon rom.


*EDIT* here ya go, Official Sprint 6.0, found it on the FTP in ImCokeMans folder.....just a reminder, Dont let the post flash customization run, SOFT RESET!!!

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

No dice... same as the other ROMs, Error [294] Invalid Vendor ID.... Thanks for the try though. ](*,) Looks like it needs to be a Verizon rom only because the unlocker is not loaded.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

Hello,
Pretty new to the PPC thing here recently got an Alltel touch, and the 3.09.01 custom version is the second custom rom I am now trying. This is definitely the deepest I've been in so far but it's tons of fun. I have received lots of good information from you guys already, thanks! I do not have any MMS options now, can I get my Alltel MMS account loaded with this rom? Any help is appreciated....thanks again

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

in case anyone is interested.... i emailed UTStar support about a Verizon 6.1 update and received the following email:

There going to be a update for the XV6900 late October or early November Unfortunately, we don't have a projected release day as of yet. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause you.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

damn

just to be clear....you ran the unlocker (not successful) then flashed which ROM? Must be a Bell based as your rom is v3.09.

not sure how you flashed any rom if you were not unlocked.

did u PM ImCoKeMaN? if anyone can help ya, he's the one.

yes, if you search for arcsoft MMS you can install via cab, also search for the Alltel server settings.

well it's about damn time....

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

I had 2 quick questions. First off though, OMJ, you are a great asset to the forum! I love your ROM's!
1) When the VZW ROM comes out, does anyone expect it to have anything worth going to vs using an OMJ Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM?
2) What is the difference between the Manilla ROMs and the Non-Manilla? I have the XV6900, will it work, and is Manilla just the latest ROM that OMJ is making?

Thanks guys.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

I really like Manilla2D, instead of the 'cube'(although u still have access to it which i could do without, anyway to get rid of it?). Its an easy way to get to your favorate people, apps, mail, texts, weather, googlemaps, etc. It feels like HTC Home, but much more usable. I like sliding my finger ... bam! to the left and bam! to the right. hehe. instead of up, left left, down to navigate the cube thing. I would highly recommend it. I dont use QuickMenu anymore cause of it, as all my favorates and other things are more easily accessible. and memory footprint seems to be small.

ps i have vx6900 and running clean manilla2d. plus the GPS fix. ... when the vz official rom from vz comes out, or when vz omj rom comes out, i wasnt sure what you asking? either way, the roms are fine without it. an official vz rom maybe have vznavigator on it, but who cares if have gps working already. and if waiting for omj vz rom, dont worry just run the clean one and add dcd's vz cab which brings over some vz customization settings i think.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

1. No, omj's roms are still the most solid. Right now I'm running his manila2d v3 and his previous rom thanks to secondtoday. :)
2. Manila is a user interface that's a little different than what most folks are used too. I think it hails from the diamond, and I think that's the latest he's working on.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

I can't get the GPS working on my Verizon vx6900. I have the OMJ latest custom rom. Can you tell me what and were the fix is you used for GPS? I would love to have this enabled. Thanks.

Re: OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9
 

The GPS fix he mentioned is likely the one that speeds up getting a GPS fix (lock) via PDE servers... Don't worry about this fix, it won't do anything for you if you can't already get a normal (slow) fix (lock).

You need to make sure that your GPS is set to use COM4 @ 4800baud:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Services -> Location Settings -> ON
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Programs -> Program Port: COM4
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Hardware -> GPS hardware port: (None)
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Hardware -> Baud rate: 4800
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Access -> (Checked) Manage GPS automatically

If these settings don't get you a position fix with your GPS (in an unobstructed sky view with proper time to lock on) the GPS speed hack won't do you any good (and will just give you an opportunity to possibly brick your phone).

An initial fix might take a while to get (15min is not unheard of), I suggest going to an open field with a full battery and trying to get a fix with Google Maps -- each time after that initial fix should be significantly faster.

(If you continue to have problems, please post the specific program you are using, any error messages it may give, and how long you've given it to work -- that would help a lot!)
