as far as i know there is no Answering system works with wm2003
so i think the problem regarding the answering machine has been solved in WM5 but there is no individual application to enable answering system on other wm5 phone edition PPC's like Prophet, is there any answering program like the one used in i-teq?
please introduce it if you any.
here is screen shot of i-teq bond

lover - this is a specific software and hardware solution provided by Gigabyte. It's not a generic WM5 solution.
Have a read around the board on why that might be the case.

The overdub could be awesome too.
"If you don't feel like talking to a particular individual (i.e. annoying friend, boss, spouse, or debt collector) and need a digital alibi, the Background Effects feature adds a looping ambience of being in a car, airplane, concert, meeting, movie theater, and more."

As I stated before, Gigabyte added some really neat functions, especially to the phone portion of the device. For starters, they've included answering machine software!

so i think this is a software which is in ROM and there is no hardware added, ithink so.
it would be great if some one get that software from the original ROM.
thanks for sharing

lover: I'm inclined to disagree. I've tried the app on the Magician, Universal and Mio A701. No joy.
The attached, ripped from the ROM, may require other associated files, but I've tried the whole ROM in its complete form. It appears to be non English, so I may be reading it wrong, but let me know if you have any luck.

than you very much but
it didnt work on my JAMin., does any one knows which company is the developer of this software?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but can someone enlighten me as to why you would want an answering machine on your phone when your mobile phone carrier already supplies you with that service? Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on any features here.

i dun think its just a software api that does this answering machine..
most likely to be a hardware inside the phone that is not present in other phones.

It is just a software!
There is a rom (2.03 Beta TofClock Himalaya) and it has this answering machine...

bepe: I think that's specific to the Himalaya. Because of the way the modem works on PocketPC phones, not all (in fact, it seems, very few) have the audio path accessible by the device itself for two way recording.
Have a read through here. If you've had any sucess, please post:

thanks vj for clarifying

thank you all for you comments but still no way to make this software work with prophet

To pay $ 18.95 for an app that you can do for FREE? I've reported about a long ago (it's REALLY worth following my blog ) - I'd certainly prefer it to this one.

hope anyone can make it work, this will be great

Just my two cents...
I don't think the software won't work on any device other than g-Smart range, it's to do with the hardware of the phone, not WM5. Without this hardware I believe it is impossible to record both sides of the conversation without some massive application, which will probably (a) slow the ppc right down, as will need to be integrated into the OS, and (b) not be that cheap either.
Regards.

just a quick qn.. if i want to try on my hermes, how to i 'install' it?
do i need to tweak any registry settings?
thanks

that would be a great app i think!! i'm on pay as you go and orange charge 10p per min to retieve voicemail!! would be super if the phone itself took over and saved an mp3 or something to the memory card!!! no charges!!
come on!!! some make or find it!!!

Sponsor for true VGA mode on Athena?

How much would it cost to sponsor someone to get true VGA working on the Athena and get all of the icon and display issues resolved then post the package on the forum for everyone to download?
If the price is right I may be willing to sponsor such a project. If anyone wants to contribute you're welcome to join in.
I just don't know how to do this myself or would. But I would be willing to pay for someone's time to get this done and give it away for free to everyone on the forum.

it must be really cheap because if you try TrueVGA you can see that there are only 2 ore 3 bugs...
CommManager
3G Icon
Software Keyboard (use Resco, it is much better *gg*)
So it can´t be difficult for an expert ....
I regrettably don´t know what to do :-(

WM6 and VGA
According to this article:
https://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/03/02/320x320-revisited.aspx
WM6 supports VGA - 640x480:

That are good news!!!

You could also check the universal forums for different icons and fixes for TrueVga and OzVga. Also see ViJay555 site (not sure of spelling) he made several fixes for Universal trueVga on the Universal forums. He has developed many utilities and applications for PPC's.

Thanks for the reply. My keyboard works perfectly in trueVGA mode. The problems I've identified are CommManager, Connection Icon, Phone (which was fixed with a CAB file so is no longer an issue, some setting screens also, the HTC icon bar for the Today screen...and I know there are others. I can provide an exhaustive listing if needed.

Thanks! I tried searching the Universal forum but after an hour didn't find much. I'll go back and look. I just want this to work so I'm willing to pay to get it done and am also willing to give it out for free to everyone else. I'm glad to hear WM6 will support VGA. It's long overdue, especially since the devices with a hack can do it.

I'm confused. Doesn't the x7500 currently support 640x480 or something like that? When I used trueVGA and everything fits, what resolution is it running at?

May I add to this list Copilot Live (version 5 is what I'm using) - missing option configuration tabs. Also, the application is now covering only 1/4 of the screen. Not what I want really. I want it to cover the entire screen.
I think the entire HTCHomeplug is unuseable and need replacement.
Oh well, may just have to switch back to QVGA when driving.

if someone wants to test for me i could probably get the OS working in true VGA, 3rd party apps however are another problem, some just never work properly in true VGA.

Hi Midget,
I'm happy to test, not so worried about 3rd party apps as long as they work in standard mode while the today screen is VGA so I can see all my today apps at once...

If anyone can help me dump the SPL it would allow OliPro to port his unbrickable BL from the Hermes to the Ameo...

The only fix I've seen for the phone is VijayBigPhone. That works OK, other than having to rerun it every time. Is there actually something more permanent?

I have re-installed MVRTrue vga today to look at the prevailing niggles and advantages.
Cheifly I feel that the icons are just a bit TOO small. For such a nice, crisp screen this seems like an awful waste of fingering posibility (for want of a better word!). If the icons could be somewhere in size between standard and MvR that would be superb.
MvR seems to slow down my Advantage dramatically sometimes - particularly the today screen, which seems to struggle to refresh - has anyone else experienced this?
I like the small address bars and sidebars - these really make a difference to window space with Internet Explorer and (even more crucially) The Midlet manager. I would be interested to know if there is a registry fix just for this in the interim.
If a new VGA app is developed I would like to hot-swap between modes without a restart as inevitably certain applications will never function correctly in tru VGA mode. a today button for this function would be wonderful if it's possible.
p.s. midget I'm more than happy to test any VGA mod you can develop, Im always installing and re-installing anyway.

a restart is needed to change modes due to the way WM works.

Thank you midget. I shall try and find that sidebar hack. perhaps google will be a simpler route.
With regard to the icon size then would I be right in thinking that wm6 has only qvga and vga icon support, so nothing in-between can be utilized?
Or am I confusing myself...I am thinking that this means there is no way of altering the icon size at all in the way that you can with windows xp.
Sorry for the noob responses but I'm genuinely interested. A display settings add-on on a par with windows xp display settings would be REALLY amazing. don't you think?
(I appreciate that a windows pc and a PDA are completely different things, but you've gotta dream a dream)

Another post raised a good point that Office Mobile is much more practical in VGA mode: I can't really contest that.

Midget_1990, we need to get this going. Let me know when you're ready and now that you're getting a device you can test no your own phone. ;-)
Let's see if you can fix the little quircks so we can get trueVGA running all the time without the graphics going out of wack.
EDIT: And I understand that we wont be able to fix everything. And I know people don't expect all apps to work perfectly. The goal should be to make defaults within the OS render as properly as possible in trueVGA mode. I think vijay555 already "fixed" some of the issues recently reported and we can either involve him on this or get permission (if required) to build on his work.

[ROM] [HP iPAQ 900c] [WWE] WM6.5 RC1 build 21500 v1.2 by Montecristo

Thank you very much to Benjaminries
Download here
: Flashing your device is dangerous. I take no responsibility and am not going to bother labelling this "beta" since i think pretty much everything you get from xda-devs is beta :d
Instructions for flashing:
1. Get a microsd card sized 2 gb or lower (sdhc won't work) and format it with regular fat filesystem. Copy my flash.dio to the root of the card. Insert card into your device.
2. Make sure your battery has a decent charge (over 50%) and isn't connected to any usb charge or sync cable (or else your device will just go into ruu mode).
3. Put your device into sdloader mode (holding volup+ok(button on right side) and pressing reset.)
4. Sdloader will check the file integrity, flash to your device rom, do a clean reboot (can take a minute longer than usual) and then go into the "welcome to windows mobile, tap here to continue" stuff.
This rom is based from build 21202 to the Benjaminries.
Flash it, test it out, report bugs, much appreciated.

Nobody has tried? ;=(

Montecristo, two days using your ROM, very stable, no errors, pretty fast.
I like it, is possible in new version put in more applications.
Thanks for your dedication!

What other applications would you like who are you?
In version 1.3 are:
Registry Editor.
Weather in the panel CHOME
Remove File Explore and add Total Commander?????

I don't know if is hard to include applications like:
- Total Commander
- SIM Manager
- WM5Storage
- Backlight Controller
- PIM Backup
- Opera
- PocketRAR
I don't know too much about cook ROMs, but if I can help you in something please let me know.

That would be nice, and also a few more themes...

Hi Montecristo
I have been using your ROM for the past 3 days, and i must admit it is very stable and quick. It responds with great immediacy, now my 914c behaves more like a phone than a fragmented 98 PC. Good work.
As for any future builds, this is my opinion,
Try and keep the ROM as light and as fast as possible, i would definately prefer this over many included apps.
programs like
burt iContactBE
Miniamal Dialer
are quite kool.
anything else is just really extra...
for me stability, speed, performance and nice GUI in that order are key.
Not sure why not so many people have tried this ROM.
Gotta say it rocks.
Love the Ying Yang, but also the text on the home screen disappear into the lighter colour ( not using 6.5 theme with panels, it just doesnt rock my boat)
oh by the way, got skype working finally.

I will try this ROM this week, I was not able before due work reasons, but so far comments are really good and I'm looking forward to test it.

I just saw this and now I'm digging through my suitcase in a hotel to see if I have another sdcard, but alas no other card, just 4gig sdhc.
I have a couple questions though. Is this rom localized, as in English language.
You said it is spb shel , do we need a license for it or is it open?
Could you possibly give a list of what is in the ROM, Office? Is there a good media player or still windows media player, is there a good wireless manager or windows default? Just curious for some more information.
Sorry to ask instead of see, but I can't right now because I'm out of town, and also I use this phone for work sometimes, so some things I need. It sounds like you did a great job and it is much more stable than the crap normal ROM, plus v6.5! But I still need some stuff in it.
Sorry again for all the questions. If all else fails I'll flash it on the weekend and see for myself.

incrediblely stable
Very very stable, a lot better than the original official ROM and other 6.1 ROMs.
There should be a disconnect button in the connection icon at the top bar.

I just installed it on my iPAQ today. It runs really smooth. One thing I noticed is that the scroll bars look a little distorted, idk if it's because the OS is a beta version or 6.5 wasn't designed for a QVGA screen.

I only got around to installing it yesterday, just been busy. I've been playing around and kind of torture testing it. It does seem to be really stable, what a huge improvement! Nice and fast too.
Couple questions for anyone though.
What are you using spb for? The weather plug in?
I've been messing around with CHome and I haven't had any luck. Configurator for instance, does not respond to any commands at all. I'm looking around at it, but figured I'd ask if I'm just missing something obvious.
The Home screen itself works, but I cannot change any settings at all, dock the clock panel for instance, or hide/show any panels.
Only really bad thing is my battery life seems to be really bad. Just as an example, I lost about 5% battery in just about 5 minutes. That's kind of a killer for me unfortunately. I'll play with some settings some more, but that's pretty rough. Anybody else seeing the same thing?

This rom is suggested in the words and the Spanish word correction also in Spanish.

I've been using this ROM for a couple of weeks now. Overall, very good ROM, fast and fairly stable, looks good and everything works pretty well. Just a couple minor problems.
Like always with the factory ROM, the SD card loses connection sometimes, less often now but still does it. Also like factory, I have still had some problems with dropped or missed calls, and loosing BT connection to headset.
Problem I did not have in factory ROM. I've had the phone not list some calls in call history log. I will miss a call and have a voicemail, but the call is not listed in history as missed. Not a big deal really, just pointing it out.
Battery life is really bad. It always has been, but it's quite a bit worse with the 6.5 ROM. I used to get through a fairly busy day of calls and e-mail, etc, only just make it through the day but I could. Now with this ROM the only way I make it through a whole day without charging is if I don't do much with the phone Not really an option.
Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to charge during the day alot of times, so this is kind of a killer for me. I think I'll have to try one of the 6.1 ROMs. I'll keep an eye on this to see if you can fix the battery life and I can try it again, but I'm guess 6.5 just uses more power by it's nature.
None the less, thank you very much for the work on this, it really is a great ROM, especially coming in the early days of ROM cooking for these devices. You did a great job!

Hi! First post!
Just one question before flash: is screen rotate function enabled? Cause its the only reason I would flash... I'm having problems running some games/apps, as you probably know already ... Also if anyone knows how to rotate screen without flashing, PLEASE PM me!!!

[REF] Overview of the different ROM's & Features [11-06 updated]

Hello everone!
I noticed a lot of questions from new guys who are completely lost in all the different roms out there!
So i thougt why not make a topic that gives an overview of all the rom's and whats in it.
First let me explain what is basicly different.
Take a look at the excel file you can download below. you see there are a lot of rom's listed on the left side!

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now it all comes down to your personal choosings. do you want a rom where the start menu is at the top take one where row C ("Start at top") is filled in. A higher number means a newer version. Newer versions are better (most of the time)
You want it at the bottom? Take one where row D ("Start at bottom") is filled in with a number.
Do you have a T-Mobile US HD2? pick a rom where row E says Yes!
Row F tells you if the ROM is ready to enable the 576mb RAM in combination with a proper radio ROM.
Cookie Home Tab + Editor
A lot of roms have the Cookie Home Tab (+editor) cooked in. CHT (cookies home tab) is a great addition to manilla and i would recommend using a rom where it's cooked in. If properly cooked it can boost preformance (more info on the CHT can be found here.)
GTX Themed
Some ROM's have the GTX Theme cooked in (more info of the GTX Theme can be found here) The theme cooked in makes it preform better.
I am currently working on filling row G & F. I could use you to give feedback of whats the free program memory straight after a flash (no 3d apps installed) I think this would be really usefull to know and have an overview of.
Language of the rom
WWE = English. Rest speaks for itself
18-05-2010 Topic created. Going to make it better looking soon.
11-06-2010 small update, consider this v0.2
15-06-2010 Now you can also view the rom's on google docs click here this way my updates will be visible faster
Feedback & corrections verry welcome!

might need this one too if im going to expand it a lot.

nice sheet.
my opinion:
-change "start top" to "6.5.0"
-change "start bottom" to "6.5.X"
-just use "X" instead of build number (you dont have to update it again and again just for build updates)
-hd2o has 6.5.0 variants too (not correct in sheet)
-hd2o has cht included (not correct in sheet)
-i would not include the "gtx themed" row because you can install this as a cab and its not a fundamental mod like cht.
-"sense cfc-compressed"-row needed
-free space after flash (dependant on many things like ram-hack/leave out things/compression/ramdisk/pagepool etc; i think you should remove this row or test every rom yourself)
-graphical mods-row (none/light/medium/heavy; to determine if its close to stock looking)
-pagepool-row needed

that i will do i just named it that way so the noobs would understand it better. but not having to change the builds every time outweighs that.

Yeah i figured i could remove that row becouse its not verry common. also going to remove that 576mb row becouse every rom seems to have it.
making a row like CFC Compressed / Uncompressed is a good idea. gonna work on that too
thanks for the feedback.

FANTASTIC!!! FANTASTIC!!! FANTASTIC!!!
Would be great to see some array of benchmarks on this! Maybe one for graphics, one for time it takes to load 500 single messages (obviously from a standard SBP restore, so that its the same)

pretty sure the mods won't allow benchmarks to be included, however useful they may be.

i made a perfect benchmark performance reference video for you all.
source: samsung sound demo 1920x1080 9000KB/s
endfile: 800x480 2000KB/s (full hd2-resolution; no scaling needed)
hd_other_samsung_sound_demo2000kbs.mp4
when testing and comparing you have to follow the rules:
-mtty
-rom flash
-hard-reset
-install tcpmp
-soft-reset
-plug in power-cord (cpu-scaling!!)
-start phone
-start tcpmp
-load benchmark video
-set zoom to 100% (no picture scaling needed anyway; just to make sure)
-start the tcpmp benchmark
-always use the same (fresh formated) sdcard with this video file on it
-you have to state that the results can vary
feel free to add this video to your first post (but give me my conversion credits).
enjoy and happy benchmarking...

Very much appreciated . Excellent job

Hi Jamieeeee,
Thank you so much for picking this up this useful endeavour.
Not certain if you had been privy to the previous discussions about such an idea - Please can you take a look at this thread for some further ideas to extend, develop and ultimately grow what you start into a community-driven resource:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658641
Also, you will see there that there is a member (bowpay) with another site developed specifically to provide this level of functionality: http://xdaroms.com
Perhaps it is also worth making contact with him...
All the best and thanks again,
Hirshy

Might be a idea to tutn this into a googlee doc???
Least people can go in and update :_)

Community-driven updates for future.

Hi ej2095 - quoted from my above linked thread...
ahirshfield said:
Perhaps start as a thread, work it to a useable format, gathering feedback, comments, suggestions and requests, then move to the Wiki. I recon, if the format and fields are all dimensioned extensively and well enough, the resulting table/wiki would be adopted across all devices.

ahirshfield said:
In addition to bowpay's endeavours, I would like to state that while the Chef's participation is preffered, it might not be mandatory:
Indeed the concept of Wiki would enable users to keep the table up-to-date. The larger the sample size of users representing a particular rom, the more accurate the detail as time and user-base increases: ala "The Wisdom of Crowds".
So even if the cook provides just the initial basic information, or nothing at all, it would not prevent such an idea from working. This is dependant on the Wiki model for user updates - which is available here at XDAdevs. This is probably a benefit over the model that bowpay has for rom cataloging, which I think is dependant soley on the chef's input and maintenance, however I am always open to correction.

I think this would work here on XDA-Devs better than a google-doc?...
Feedback welcome,
Hirshy

thanks for the feedback guys im working on a improved file with some changes,
- No more build numbers. i will keep this one on here untill its outdated (wont be that long) becouse its to much work to keep track who updated what.
- No more 576mb enabled row (every rom i encountered had it enabled with the proper radio)
- Stripped version row, now making a difference between Yes and Available
- added: Graphical Mods, Sense CFC (un)Compressed and Pagepool row.
- Removed the CTX row.
- Added the SPA row. sorry for the spanish people i missed ur country lol

i think i luv you! thanks for doing this.
your idea of the amount of available memory after flashing is a very good one as well.
would it be too much work to show what mods/apps come pre-installed?

Great Effort! with everyones help this may be up-to-dat and accurate!
my 5 cents;
Artemis has no 576 support as far as i know (an is on his own post ;0 )

Just a suggestion but in the next update can you please include a cell with the additional application highlights? and also reorder it so it's in alphabetical order?
Also a generic question (not sure if this is the right place for it but hey). Do the new builds of wm6.5 have the start button at the bottom of the screen by default? corrently i have 1.66.405.2 Official installed on my phone and the start button is at the top.
Thanks for your comments.

this is pretty awesome!

very good idea! thank you for your contribution, this will be very helpful to a lot of people!

Awesome initiative, but like a previous poster said, let's try to keep benchmarks out of this. We've seen nothing but bad stuff come of it in the past, and we'd hate to have it repeated. Enjoy er
p.s. Here, I'll sticky this for better exposure, as long as you promise to keep it updated

Re: Overview of the different ROM's & Features [18th May updated]

Are all the ROM variants listed already?
I ask since for the CleanEX Black Series there are currently 10 different ROMs to choose from and the current sheet only has CleanEX Black Series Listed as 1 ROM...
Any way Chefs can help update this, if ever?

UNSOLVED BUGS
NONE
FAQs - HELP QUESTIONS:
IE shows error screen but on pressing cancel you can use it normally - this is because a package is missing in the original build. I am happy to add it but looking at the number of XDA users who use IE, I din't re-cook it. Opera works faster and better.
I removed MMApplauncher, can't access start menu now - You won't be able to because mmapplauncher has been installed INSTEAD OF start menu. This ROM does not have WINMO startmenu so please don't remove mmapplauncher. The reason is removal of start menu saves valuable 15-20mb RAM that makes this rom faster even with multitasking.
Finger Keyboard - It shows error or I don't like it or it's rubbish etc etc - Please install another keyboard that is available in the forum. The reason I haven't cooked in a keyboard is solely because it's a very very personal choice that change from user to user and if you don't like your keyboard, you will hate your phone!
Linux/Ubuntu users can't active sync - Yes, reason being .exe files are not support in Linux and hence you can only install programs in VirtualBox - however, I have removed few packages to save 5-7mb of storage in the ROM as Linux based users are in minor numbers. On Linux you will still be able to activate this phone as 'mass storage device' and will be able to add or remove files, photos, music etc from the memory card. Only thing not possible is - ActiveSync program installations on Linux.
If any of the above answer does not satisfy your hunger for your choice of ROM, please PM me and I will cook the ROM as you want!
I won't know, if you don't say it!

haha! do you mean DruROM3 - the cleanest, the fastest?
I am glad you like it as much as I do. Will definitely try making a German version. It might take a little longer, but will definitely do it if I can.
The titanium one is same build as DruROM3, but only with added titanium, in case someone gets bored of their custom UI and want fast windows UI for change

on my second phone i use novembre5 rom there still have a bug with camera , works only on real fully charged battery if maybe 99,8% charge it doesnt work. in your rom it works with 40% charge too.
the only thing i doesnt realy like is the mm applauncher.
i like the start grid have installed on novembre rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589380
with 4 grids , the 5 grids to small for my fingers lol

I totally agree with this!
I don't like the mm app launcher as well, it's too loosely calibrated. It will sweep right at the top even with single flick! But only + point is, it saves about 10mb of useful program ram compared to normal start menu. By using mirom's mod, start menu is totally removed (saved 10mb) and then something to replace start menu i.e. access it - mmapplaucher! You might be able to use sommething else, if you have cab to replace start menu. I haven't tried it myself as I just use SPB Shell for accessing progs etc.
Re: camera
I tested and it will work uptil last 20% as well on DruROM3! So all good so far.
Also, there is a cab/reg tweak floating somewhere in forum that will remove even 20% barrier i.e you can use wifi and camera till the phone is totally drained! if you want, give that a go too, will defo work on this rom!

FAQs in POST 1

Hello Everyone!
I am writing this post in most of my threads so that everyone is well informed. I am not sure if you will get annoyed to see the identical post in more than 1 thread. The only reason being, I want everyone who visits particular thread to know that I am going to be a rare visitor on TG01 forums from now.
As you might all know, I went on 3 weeks holiday (it was AWESOME!) only to find out that Orange had sent me a letter confirming that I should F***O** and they won’t be interested in either paying repair costs/ offering replacement handset/ offer any sort of money back for the malfunctioning TG01(s) (6 replacements to be precise) they have supplied me since January 2011! Since last 5 months, I wasn’t able to develop or help with roms/themes as I din’t trust my phone’s behaviour (it froze randomly making hard to know if it’s rom/theme doing it or actual phone). However, I have tried my best to help out in forum and also with beta tests.
My TG01 is now officially in coma. It doesn’t last more than 5 minutes without restarting. This has annoyed the piss out of me and I was helpless financially. However, I have managed to sell this TG01 for spare along with few old WinMos and Symbian phone to get me enough money to buy a brand new San Francisco (the cheapest option out there for smart phone at the moment!)
So, to keep the story short, all these threads, might not see any help at all from me in terms of development. I will still be willing to help anyone and everyone (whatever can be done without a TG01). If anyone would want to use any of my work so far – please feel free to PM me and I will happily share ROMs/THEMES/files etc that will help you to carry on the projects further.
It’s been absolute charm being a part of this forum and will miss it! I will be around in San Francisco forums anyway, so drop me a PM if you ever think of me
Long live TG01 and WinMos
(already saving up to buy new WP7!)
