BW WM7 Black and Blue Windows Phone 6.5 ROM 23064 build Final

[blazingwolf]

This new version is called WM7 Blue and WM7 Black. It is a little heavier than usual because of some of the itmes I have left in for more finger friendly access. This ROM is built with the SYS and XIP of 23064 which is the latest release of WM6.5.

I would like to thank the following people for helping me with my Roms:
Adrynalyne
bga7x
hartv427
Noonski

Please remember that you flash at your own risk and I am not responsible for any bad things that happen to your device.

How to flash:
You must flash to the CF03 ROM before flashing to this ROM.

Then:
Use UMDL and click on the PDA button. Browse to the location where you placed the bin file and click on open. The file will load. Once it is loaded click on Detect. Now turn your device off by holding the power button until you see the shutdown gif. Once your device is shutdown plug it in to your pc. Now turn your device back on by pressing and holding the power button. UMDL should detect your device and start loading the new ROM on to your device.

User Customization:

My ROM uses a user customization tool called XDA_UC created by Noonski. It will allow you to place your theme, tweaks, cabs and other files on your storage card and have them installed automatically after a flash or hard reset. To get a better idea of what I am talking about please see this thread over at XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=3611692

These files will need to be put in a folder in the root of your storage card. The folder is called XDA_UC.

For your theme to be used you will need to rename it to My.tsk and place it in the XDA_UC folder. Then on first boot your theme will be used.

Cab file installation. If you want cabs to be installed to device memory the place them in the XDA_UC folder. These cabs will be installed silently and need no user interaction. If you want a cab file to be installed to your Storage card or My Storage then you will need to place cab file in XDA_UC/SD. Any cab files in this folder will auto launch but will ask you where to install them. After installation you will need to tap on OK and the next cab file installation will start.

Reg tweaks that you put in will need contain the following line at the top of the file "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00", a line space must be included at the end of the file. If you look at the XDA-Devlopers thread I linked above you will see more information about this.


Now that I have done this there are some changes to the startup procedure. Please note the changes so you do not have issues.

You no longer need to tap on the start menu to have the ROM finish loading. This will be done automatically for you. Wait for about 30 seconds or so and you will see a customization popup that will let you know that customization is starting. You can tap on the countdown number to start or just let it count down. This will install any items that you have in the XDA_UC folder.

If you have no XDA_UC folder you will still see the customization popup. Tap on the countdown or let it finish. It will finish installation of the items I have placed in the ROM.

Once this has finished a popup screen will appear letting you know that the customizations have finished. OK out of this screen and your device will soft reset to complete all installations.

Version 1 notes:
Like all newer versions of Windows Phone the OK/Close is broken in the Phone settings screen. You can slave a hard button to OK/Close or soft reset after changing your settings.

Known issues:




Please let me know if you have any problems.

Hmm, I'll see about adding this to the next version. You should be able to update it already though just by following the update procedures.

I know several have tried but no one has found a way to make it work every time.

This ROM will not work on your device. Nor will any ROM built for Verizon. Please do not install on your device unless you are willing to break it.

Thanks BW, I've notice you've been on hiatus <grin>. I've had this rom installed for quite some time. Just installed the multiplugin and got everything tweaked in the cpr.Its a great set of ingrediants you cooked in, many thanks .
Tried to install the 2.04 ver of GPS Weather Radar (time bug fixed) but it just installs to the start menu. It does not update the version cooked into the titanium panel.
If you do get some time (holidays are a blur now, I know) an update to this great rom would be greatly appreciated.

btw my son wants a moto droid for xmas, how you likeing yours as compared to Omni??
