WM6.5 vs WM6.1 - Touch CDMA General

Just installed WM6.5 on my OKTA Touch.
Have yet to see much difference from WM6.1 aside from the fact that files in "My Ringtones" no longer show up in Notifications which was the case in 6.1,
also disappointed that the WAV restriction is still in place for alarms.

I've just come back from the land of the Droid and straight into WM6.5 and so far I like it alot. Nice fresh UI, nice menu, easy to use and it's fast on the OKTA Touch. Just set an MP3 as a ringtone off my SD card (Tiki Tane & DubXL - Summertime) and all good so far.
Maybe you just got a crap ROM?

Overall I have no major problems with WM6.5, just disappointed that only WAV files can be used for alarms and that sounds for notifications can no longer be picked up from My Ringtones folder.
Currently I have NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.
Waiting for XevRev's Telecom NZ ROM

Why are you trying to get them to be picked up from the Ring folder for? Just copy and paste the wav files into the Windows folder and there you have it

The UI looks better and if you use the HTC touchflo2d it looks even better.

will probable be a noob question

hey ppl
got myself a HTC Diamond touch a few weeks ago and so far i love the fone am in Australia so i had to buy the telstra one its unlocked but still has the telstra pre loaded stuff.
i am a vodafone user and have got the VF MMS and internet working
not interested in a cooked rom yet.
but here is my questions.
how do i use the iphone theme on this rom?
cant find manila folder, is it hidden if so how do i make it un hidden.
aslo in botom left corner it has bigpond link on the bar how can i change this to say contacts or even messages?
cheers guys
i did try using search but couldnt find a clear cut answer, think it came down to the words i am using to search.
oh well anyone with help thanks.
Which iphone theme to you mean?
There is no folder for the manila files, they are all in the Windows folder. If the theme has just these manila files, you need to use a program like total commander to copy the files from the theme's folder, straight into the windows folder, overwriting everything.
then soft re-set, and you should be all good.
If it is a .theme file, then you need to download TF3D Config, save the .theme file to a folder on the phone, and then point the program to the folder. Then, the program will do it all for you, and its easy to change back if you need to.
Hope that helps!
Hi mate,
As above for changing your themes.
The only other extra note to add to that is the simplicity of cabs. Just run the file and it will install for you.
I did the hard work for you:
If you want an iPhone style theme - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425956&highlight=iphone+icons
Alternative small round iPhone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437100&highlight=iphone+icons
And lastly for the Bigpond softkey, you want this program - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2485292#post2485292
Grab the .cab file.
I also strongly suggest a cooked ROM. Once you get rid of that Tel**** ROM you won't look back
Cheers,
Byron.
Hey Uziel,
What did you have to do to get mms and internet working? I have similar issue but I am with virginmobile. Haven't been able to get mms or internet working yet. Not sure if it is some telstra settings stuffing the connection up.
Just a general question that you suggested dickenz. What cooked ROM would you suggest for us with Tel**** ROM's?
Cheers

Hi biggirdz,
For the virginmobile settings - My suggestion is to give Virgin a call and tell them you have a Windows Mobile 6.1 device (don't state it's a Diamond as they don't have Touch Diamonds yet I don't think and they might turn you away as it is 'unsupported') and tell them you want to set up MMS and internet.
EDIT: Just had a thought. If you have a Telstra Diamond with a Virgin SIM I think you'll need to create a completely secondary connection. Again, Virgin ***SHOULD*** be able to run you through this over the phone. Maybe even go on their website and see which Windows mobile devices they do have and tell them it's one of those so you get the settings out of them you want.
I'd go for Panosha 2.4 if you want a 'finished' ROM. But if you don't mind one in the testing phase dutty's is excellent aswell.
I am currently using udK's but he has only had 2 releases so far. However I am very impressed. There are a few bugs but I am sure udK will iron them out in future releases.

Need Palm original sound files

Hi,
I just switched from my Palm Treo Pro to HTC Touch Diamond, expecting to have the same ring tones and alarm notification sounds (as it's WM 6.1 too). But no, they are different, and I'm missing the nice Treo sounds , the nice old phone ring (ri-riiing), and the default appointment sound (that flute like thing).
So, could anybody please, please zip the wav/wmp files for me (I guess they are in the \Windows\Rings folder, at least that's where I find them on the Diamond)? You can upload the zip to http://stashbox.org/ and post the URL here (or send PM). Thanks a lot!
I ripped the MIDI ones I had from my Sony CLIE NX80, which are basically based off the orignal Palm ones all the way back to the beginning.
However, WinMob has horrible MIDI support with horrible default wave banks, so the tones don't sound right. Instruments are missing, sounds are off, lots of cackling on playback with the Kaiser.
Did Palm convert them to wave or some such on the Treo Pro?

I have no idea. Don't even know which format they are kept in on the Treo Pro. I just remember they really sounded good...
I found a whole stack of .mid, mp3, .wav and .wma's in \windows (what was in \windows\rings was the ring tones/mp3s I had imported via the manage tab when you run "Sounds and Notifications").
I grabbed the lot of them from \windows, and uploaded it to stashbox, it's called "treo pro sounds.zip", approx 3.5MB. The link is:
http://stashbox.org/290713/treo pro sounds.zip
Thanks so much. I haven't tested it yet, but the file names exactly as expected. Thanks again!

flashing rom Vs installing cab files

Whats the advantages of cooking TF3D onto our rom rahter than installing it via cab fileS. My x1i was getting multiple panel faults and crashes and freezes with my installs done via cab files. I took it back to O2 for a new phone as it was only a few days old, I like tf3d so want it on my new x1i was just wondering does it operate faster when flashed, are there less hangs etc etc.
Ive never seen it work on a touch Hd so dont know how fast its meant to be

Yes it works better when fully integrated into the operating system ROM from a kitchen
Desperately need TF3D ??
My 2 cents would be: go for a cooked ROM and add the "TF3D as a Panel" cab
I recently found a "free" version of spb 2, im quite keen on this at the moment so ill hive the cooking a miss for time being. When i do go back to tf3d i will use a kitchen.
On a seperate note is there any way to make x1i louder ring is very quiet?
i recommend flashing a super lite rom, which takes out all the nonsense crap u don't use and takes up space.. then install the panels, then install TF3D...
Darans TFeD is the only one which hasn't given me a single freeze or lock up in combination with panels

I've only used 1.59.44.02 with this rom I have a diamond as main phone so I nolonger use my Cruise.
Ok, thank you for rapid reply. The 1.59.44.02 is, for me, the best radio for Polaris
screenshots please ?
I've just used this ROM with 1.65.30.09 radio version.
Phone and internet work fine, but i can't receive file via bluetooth. Most probably it's because of radio version.
I must say, this ROM slower than 3lit3's or c_sheckar's. Scrolling in Manilla tabs is not so smooth as in above-listed roms.
Also I don't know how can I close edge-session, 'cause this notification pop-up don't allow me do that!
I really like new camera, i mean programm =)
So, in conclusion i'd like to say that i'm not impressed by this rom =\
+1 please..!

Hi .. Great Job!!
ROM looks nice and it´s working smoothly. Please, a request: could you add InCall Recording to this ROM?
Thank you
Dear Gullum,
First, Cruise mobile worth nothing without your Rom.
Secondly, there are some bugs i want to inform. hope that your Rom become the best ever.
1. the songs tab in manila doesn't work at all. it stuck on searching thing.
2. when you try to change phone call ring from notification sounds, it force you to get back to the default ring.
3. when you try to reply msg from the message inbox, some times a msg box said the msg haven't sent.
4. its not possible to touch the battery or volume on the screen.
Could you plz tell us how to solve those bugs.
thanks in advance.

I can +1 for the ringtone problem. Might have something to do with the filename - there is a space between the name of the default ringtone and the extension?
The only way I could fix mine was to convert the ringtone I wanted to use to wma from mp3 then rename it to the default ringtone name. Copied it into the /windows folder with Total Commander and all fine.
Also, couldn't get QuickGPS to work. Same problem as with the udK ROM I think - gets to 76% then reports connection error.
Otherwise, very nice ROM gullum. I especially like the Rhodium stuff. Other cooks are giving us the same apps but with newer sys/xip which often doesn't really make a whole lot of difference. Thanks.
Hi Gullum!
your rom is very very good and cleanly.
I'd like modify some things in this rom.
Please share your kitchen if not secret.
Thanks.
Dear cr1960,
that's right, i checked the ringtone & found that there is a space between the ringtone name & it's extention. unfortionatlly, i corrected that but still have the same problem.
i also checked the other ringtones, they all correct.
what should i do?

[Files requested] Manila 2.5 bluetooth headset control + HTC Audio

I have a pair of bluetooth headphones by Sony (DR-BT21G) with media controls (AVRCP). This has always worked perfectly with the HTC Audio Manager throughout many ROMS (the default and Dutty's) but I upgraded to WM6.5 this weekend and it no longer works. Now, any time I try to use the controls, Windows Media Player fires up and takes over. Is there any way to change this or to manually set this back to the HTC Audio Manager? Listening to music is probably what I do most with my HD so this is probably reason enough for me to go back to a different ROM if I can't figure this out.
I've searched like crazy and it seems to happen to the WM6.5 Energy ROMs too, so it must be a general WM6.5/Manilla problem. So far, I've tried looking through all the settings in HD Tweak and Advanced Config, as well as changing the 0 and 1 keys in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:WMPLAYER to point to AudioManager_Eng.exe, but none of that worked.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Edit: Slowly, it seems to be becoming clearer that the Bluetooth Driver might be (part of) the solution. Any assistance in getting different versions of the BTHCI.DLL file or more insight would be great! If you have a Manila 2.5 ROM with working bluetooth control, please take a minute to share your driver with us!
I have exactly the same problem and I've posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566157&highlight=AVRCP

Same here with Dutty R5.
A fix would be great.
I worked pretty hard at trying to find a solution but to no avail. I found that there's a key in the registry that refers to a bluetooth plugin for WMP, but deleting it had no effect and I don't think there's a simple way to get rid of the actual plugin. Doing so also still doesn't guarantee that AudioManager will take over. Maybe if someone takes the time to try swapping out files between (for example) Dutty's WM6.1 v4.3 and Dutty's WM6.5 Leo R5, it might work. Particularly, swapping out AudioManager_Eng.exe and all WMP files and registry settings might work. Just an idea! I'd do it myself, but considering crazy work hours, my need for a working phone and problems I've been having with 6.5 it will be a while before I can do more on this.
I was also using Dutty's Leo R5 but due to major stability issues which seemed to be primarily related to importing contacts and texts (through either PIM or "My Phone"). I'll miss the twitter tab and all the neat features of the new manila and WM6.5 improvements but for now Dutty's v4.3 Final is just so much faster, more reliable and doesn't have the bluetooth problem.
Unless some smart guy figures this one out, I think we can best just hope for it to be resolved in a future rom with a fix in the new Manila.
The question for me is: Is this problem on all 6.5 ROMs??? I thought I had tried a 6.5 ROM before without this issue... but I might be wrong...
Am I right in assuming you returned to Dutty's 6.1 ROM? Because then I would flash a 6.5 ROM and we could test replacing files: You upload them here and I try replacing them on my Blackstone!
Update: I just flashed PhamQuang's V67 (a 6.5 ROM with Manila 2.1) - and guess what: My BT-headset controls the TF3D music player!
So maybe this is not a 6.1 vs. 6.5 problem, but rather a Manila 2.1 vs. 2.5 problem? Or it just depends on what ROM you are using and if the cook has done his magic correctly?
Great news! I'm glad you have it working and it narrows the problem down a bit.
So it seems that for now, bluetooth music lovers should steer clear of M2.5. I'd think it's a Manila 2.5 problem considering it works on all Manila 2.1 versions I've tried so far and on PhamQuang's V67 ROM with WM6.5 that you're using. I still wonder if swapping files between Manila 2.1 and 2.5 would be possible, but after using WM6.1 and Manila 2.1 for a day I'm hooked on the speed and won't be going back to Manila 2.5 until some major speed improvements have been made. (Or am I mistaken and is WM6.5 the laggy culprit?)
Considering you have your headset working with PhamQuang's V67 and it runs WM6.5, I'd like to wander off topic a bit and ask how you like that one? Has it been fast and stable so far? I've been pretty happy and faithful to Dutty's work but if there's something better out there (with working bluetooth to HTC's AM) I'm definitely game! I especially miss the smoother kinetic scrolling of WM6.5 and the wonderful Twitter tab in Manila 2.5. I guess I'll just have to be patient for that last one considering it seems you can't have everything.
Fix. thx to Gooru from xda-developers.info
Awesome! Thanks NewFolk! I'm glad there's a solution and hopefully it will help anyone who's searching for it. I can't test whether it works on Dutty's Leo R5 at the moment but I'll take your word for it
At least this is one less reason to avoid WM6.5 + M2.5!

PhamQuang's ROMs aren't the fastest ones out there, which is why I'll switch to a different 6.5 ROM or back to Topix (the best 6.1 ROM I've tried) as soon as I get my LCD replacement (I managed to break my LCD screen while attempting to exchange the touchscreen... )

Didn't work for me on Miri's V10, still launching WMP. Still looking for a solution.
Wow, sorry to hear about your screen, MAMeingast. I wouldn't dare attempt that with my dear HD, although I do wish it had a capacitive screen. I haven't touched my stylus in months.
If I can get Sashimi to do decent backups and automated installs, I might be able to experiment with ROMs more freely, but for now XML provisioning and other settings restorations don't seem to work well and reflashing and configuring still takes a few hours each time. I might try a full backup of my current setup this weekend and test a few Manila 2.5 ROMs. Maybe I can pinpoint what the differences are between the working and non-working BT configurations are and make a cab to fix it. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a method to monitor file or registry key access so I can't see what's active during BT headset pairing. In other words, getting that together will have to be a pretty labor intensive process.
The cab file simply contains a version of the BTHCI.dll driver file. I haven't been able to find Gooru's original post (using Google translate considering the site's all Russian), so I don't know which ROM(s) the cab file is meant for, where the file comes from or which build of WM it is included in. A quick search turned up this post by Da_G from way back in May, noting that the 216xx WM6.5 build comes with a BTHCI.dll version that isn't bound to WMP. How the binding is done isn't clear to me, but it's possible that the currently running media player (usually AudioManager_Eng.exe) would accept the input without extra configuration. If people can grab that version (see below) and post results here (or any other versions for that matter... it can't hurt to try more!), we could see if it fixes the problem. It's starting to look like that file is indeed the culprit, so good news there!
Thinking out loud: If it turns out to be more than just the driver, I might try replacing the dll on Dutty's Leo R5 first, followed by others until I find a Manila 2.5 that the cab file fixes. If that works, I can dump the file system and registry before the fix, and the file system and registry of other uncabbed ROMs to see if a general fix can be made and hopefully pass that along to Dutty and the other cooks to add to future releases. If anyone is running a Manila 2.5, please try installing the cab and posting your results. It would be additionally helpful to let us know which version (or date and size) your original BTHCI.dll is.

I'm sorry to hear that. Naturally, I hoped someone had come up with a general fix, but we'll keep looking. I changed the topic title back from [Solved] considering it didn't work for you. If you find out more, let us know! Maybe you can help with the dll questions, considering you're running a 2.5 ROM.
Edit: Found a download of the proposed older working BTHCI.dll! Try the cab from this post and let us know if it works for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3807872&postcount=114
It should be uninstallable, but I still recommend backing up your original. You can never be too careful, right?

A quick search turned up this post by Da_G from way back in May, noting that the 216xx WM6.5 build comes with a BTHCI.dll version that isn't bound to WMP. How the binding is done isn't clear to me, but it's possible that the currently running media player (usually AudioManager_Eng.exe) would accept the input without extra configuration. If people can grab that version (see below) and post results here (or any other versions for that matter... it can't hurt to try more!), we could see if it fixes the problem. It's starting to look like that file is indeed the culprit, so good news there!
Thinking out loud: If it turns out to be more than just the driver, I might try replacing the dll on Dutty's Leo R5 first, followed by others until I find a Manila 2.5 that the cab file fixes. If that works, I can dump the file system and registry before the fix, and the file system and registry of other uncabbed ROMs to see if a general fix can be made and hopefully pass that along to Dutty and the other cooks to add to future releases. If anyone is running a Manila 2.5, please try installing the cab and posting your results. It would be additionally helpful to let us know which version (or date and size) your original BTHCI.dll is.
I'm sorry to hear that. Naturally, I hoped someone had come up with a general fix, but we'll keep looking. I changed the topic title back from [Solved] considering it didn't work for you. If you find out more, let us know! Maybe you can help with the dll questions, considering you're running a 2.5 ROM.
Edit: Found a download of the proposed older working BTHCI.dll! Try the cab from this post and let us know if it works for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3807872&postcount=114
It should be uninstallable, but I still recommend backing up your original. You can never be too careful, right?

Hi elammertsma,
I've already tried the T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab, still launches WMP so I'm guessing there's more to this than just the version of BTHCI.dll. The BTHCI.dll included in Miri's V10 ROM is dated 01/10/09 16:31 (although that may be the date I installed the ROM, not sure) and is 63K in size. Hope this helps.
seems the bthci.dll is a rom file, and prevent copy? I try to copy the file from a rom which headset could interface with manila audiomanager, but fail - say the file in not allow to copy...

You'll need to use another file manager like Total Commander or Resco File Explorer to copy the BTHCI.dll file

I'm using the Resco, but still same problem. Properties of the bthci.dll is checked for hide/ready/sys/rom. It can not be seen both in WM file explorer and Resco, but in Resco search for the name you can find it. I try to copy via Resco, it said copy fail...

For mine:
1. BTfix.cab, still activate WMP, and seems no change at all.
- I try WMP, my headset is still interface with it, works well.
- Manila audio - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.
- CorePlayer - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.
2. T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab, not activate the WMP any more, and others unchanged.
- I try WMP, need manually open WMP first, and my headset is still interface with it, works well.
- Manila audio - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.
- CorePlayer - sound was transferred to headset but interface no.
being a bluetoth headphones ower to i ued the htc audio player too. im using nrgz photon rom 11.10.09 manilla 2.1. the default launched audio player from headphones is media player. tried this fix it dont fix it. yes i know its for m.2.5 i was just hoping it would work.
guess i will have to make playlists there instead. i remember there being issues with Wmp it wouldnt recognise all my content. like eminem album i got from play.com. all my own cd rips are good though lol. i will post a fix if i find one. i got a cab. the for s2p which is called tback but all that does is the opposite and unlocks the htc audiomanager and reverts to WMP or s2p. ive looked at nitrogen but unable to find anyway to make headphones work.
My Observations on this
Now my observations on this is that it was not happening on NRG Leo release 14092009 (think it may have been the last Genisis version). We know that NRG's rom platform on 23016 is rock solid as he has stated that many times so I'm suspecting it must be something in the lastest M2.5 version 1919xxx or another package addition as it seems to be effecting all the current Roms running this version of the Leo Manilla. I'm really suspecting that it is something in the way M2.5 HTC audio player is interfacing with WMP but that is just my humble non technical opinion
Can't find if BT stack has been updated in all of this. Bit of a bugger as I have the same issue in the my current version 23092009 release and it is also in the 11102009 release. Hope NRG can take a look at this as I use my BT headset constantly or my bit helps in some small way in finding a solution. In the meantime I'm falling way back to 14092009 NRG Leo version.
