Maybe somebody can help me:
I try to install diffrent keyboards on my device (for Japanese Input, Large Button Input and so on).
I can see them all after installation, but I can not select one of them, when I try to select them it switch back to default Keyboard.
Any Idea how I could fix that problem?
Thanks
PS: I tryed SIPChange, but it did not work.
Another one hit the driver memory problem, brought to you by M$. Trinity is in particular vulnerable to this problem amongst other WM5 devices. I thought M$ fixed it many years ago with the introduction of WM2003 device - but I was wrong.
What OS you are using? WM5 or WM6?
i'm running wm5. today I managed in the safe mode to start one of SIP but thats no way to work. do you think it would change if I upgrade to wm6? to bad there is no official uprade... and, is wm6 fully supported by the Trinity? some where I read that the gps module is not supported by wm6 ..
Heard someone talked about that driver problem is less prominant in WM6 - but I am not sure - since I still don't find a reason to upgrade.
There ARE official WM6 for Trinity - for those Dopod machines. They said the official ROM from HTC is also coming at the end of the month.
The current official WM6 roms support GPS without problems - as with all latest cooked roms.
I'd suggest you go for WM6 to see if it fixes your SIP problem.
Hi All,
I am a stable user that utilizes the device for all of available application's:
E-Mail, Web Browsing, Skype and so on.
After installing the latest rom's I am having a problem using the device to one
of its more important uses and that is GPS.
I am using iGo 2006 (licensed) and I am unable to make it work on any of the new rom's.
My Question is if there is any way to channel the forces of this monster called XDA-Developers and solve the issue so annoyingly painful to me.
If there is another application that any one uses that has Israel maps working
as it should I would love to hear about it.
Thank you all in advance,
Itay
I don't know how legal this is, but look for a file called DiamondiGO6PSWisxda.rar and follow the instructions there, I have iGO2006 runing on WM6.1
gps not working here with the last m-amine rom
iGO 2006 works on official WM 6.1 WWE - you just have to disable HTC Home plugin.
I have latest Swtos 0.96 ROM (WM6.1 with latest radio) flashed to my polaris, and both IGO 8 and IGO 2006 work well on my device without any tricks.
Hello everyone.
This is my first post. Actually, I added this as a reply on a thread but it's so long and covers so many areas I thought I'd create a new thread from it, if that is ok.
Here are some answers to people's questions on various threads about the 614c ROM images, and my comments particularly on the various ROMs out there.
Here's a link to the latest WM6.1 ROM from a Russian gentleman yevg001 who creates them.
Here's a link to the latest hp official WM6.0 ROM.
1) Yes, you can flash to yevg001 israpda WM6.1 ROMs and then back to the hp WM6.0 ROM from the hp website as often as you like. Flashing from an SD card (not SDHC) has worked reliably several times on my three 614c phones, and flashing using the hp software also works fine (it's much slower because it loads the ROM down a USB cable).
2) The big difference between the yevg001 ROM and the hp ROM is that the hp ROM contains an update to the device firmware, to v0.88 (the latest version). This is of interest if you still have firmware v0.77 (the previous and originally released version). The yevg001 ROMs do not affect your firmware version.
3) If you apply the hp ROM, you cannot get back to v0.77 firmware - I don't think the hp installer will downgrade you, even if you have an old hp ROM image.
4) Why might you want to downgrade to v0.77 device firmware? Because v0.88, while better in numerous ways, has one critical defect: it does not properly support call waiting. When a second call is received (and you hear the beeps in your ear), the active call is affected in that the person you are talking to cannot hear you - and usually hangs up because he/she things you have lost the line. It's very annoying. Other than this, the firmware is better and more stable, due to various minor bug fixes. Fewer missed calls, fewer crashes.
5) Ok, putting aside device firmware and thinking of software... the latest yevg001 ROM is based on hp software image 1.01.04, the latest image at time of writing. yevg001 has also added a few little software applets into the image, but you don't need to use any of these. Obviously, you cannot uninstall them as they are in the ROM, but they also therefore don't take up any usable space.
6) The touchFLO interface is optional. You can easily deactivate it. It looks quite pretty but I have to say I don't like it, so I've deactivated it just by unchecking it in Today settings.
7) The yevg001 WM 6.1 build (I'm using his v1.6) is very good. I have only noticed one major problem with it. The phone is faster than ever before (and I've tried a lot of ROMs). It is quite stable - a couple of crashes but not noticeably more than the hp ROM. The WM6.1 ROM is entirely in English (with the exception that Yevgeny has added in Russian T9 support - not much use without Russian character set). English T9 works as normal.
8) I have also noticed improved battery life. With the latest hp 1.01.04 WM6.0 ROM, I usually get through four fully charged batteries in 24 hours. With the yevg001 v1.6 WM 6.1 ROM, I only get through three. Yes, I'm quite a heavy user but this is a good improvement.
9) The major problem I mentioned in point 7, which won't affect everyone, is that yevg001's ROM does not allow concurrent voice and data usage on a 3G or HSDPA network. How bad is that? Not all 3G phones support this and it is one of the best features of the 614c... My guess is that yevg001 does not even realise this because there is no (or nearly no) 3G in Russia - at least there wasn't last time I was in Moscow in April/May. Basically, if you have any data connection active at the time you place or receive a call, the phone just abruptly drops the data connection. It re-establishes it fine after your call, but no concurrent usage. **If any Russian forum user is reading this, please could you post to yevg001 and ask him if he can address this?**
10) Other experiences based on my regular usage:
a) Bluetooth works fine, neither better nor worse than the standard HP build. I use several BT headsets for calls and also listen to music using A2DP. The A2DP connection seems more stable under WM6.1. In general on the 614c the BT sound level is too low, it does seems a bit lower still with the yevg001 ROM but it was a problem already.
b) Wi-fi works fine, no problems at all with b or g networks.
c) The PIE browser seems to have been slightly improved under WM6.1.
d) The threaded SMS is fantastic! And better than the iphone too because it allows you to delete and to forward individual messages within the thread. The email client seems to be unchanged.
e) I use tomtom navigator 6.3 (western europe) a lot. It works well.
f) Getting a GPS fix can take more than five minutes from cold. If you've used it before on the same day, it's usually less than a minute. I have always found that the 614c is slower to get a fix than the old 6915 which I believe many 614c users upgraded from.
g) Google Maps also works really well, with GPS, and using HSDPA the 614c is fast enough to keep up with your position on a zoomed-in satellite photo while travelling in a car at 30mph (no I wasn't driving!).
h) The media player is ok, I do wish it would read the album artwork out of the mp3 metadata, but that's a slightly off topic observation.
i) The camera is shockingly slow. I use it rarely. The autofocus works quite well.
j) I've had no problems with lots of 8GB SDHC cards.
k) Battery life battery life battery life. The Achilles heel of the 614c. See point 8 above.
m) Activesync seems to work more quickly and more reliably under the WM6.1 ROM than previously.
n) Voice Commander is rubbish. Why do they bother? It takes ages to start up, only works from American accents, is generally slow and intrusive (over other open windows) and is unreliable. MS Voice Command was much better.
Hope all this is interesting! Let me know what you think and if you've got any questions I'll do my best to answer them.
Cheers,
hipppo

Yevgeny only created this ROM in the last couple of days and I believe it is based on the latest hp build - he says it is his newest and most stable WM6.1 ROM yet.
I haven't tried it yet.
Merry Christmas

Cool, I use also the yevg001's ROM , It work very well. Does someone try his extended battery ? His look unchange? or it look like the Axim X30 with his extended battery?
My experience.
I do agree with the comments. I might add another issue - some of the programs based on netCF don't work - they report errors. I installed netCF3.5 but the problem still persists.
Hi,
I just wanted to thank you for this very detailed post.
It answered a lot of my questions!
Have HP categorically said they won't be releasing an official 6.1 ROM?
Thanks,
Adam
In my Ipaq 614C the word-completion features does not with on-screen keyboard. It's normally cauby by XT9? XT9 work well with the physical keyboard.

i ve bought the extended battery from HP and i have to say that it reallly enhance the use of the 614c ! i haven't really measured but i would say it last 2-3 times later than with the actual battery, using this 6.1 rom. the only drawback is that the phone is now bigger...
In my opinion, it's better to buy another standart battery and charger for it. I used to own a samsung i600 with two batteries - normal and extended and i had a separate charger for the battery. The only problem was, that i had to change the battery cover everytime i change the battery, which is not ery convenient. I think they sell a charger for about 5-6$ so you just charge the other battery and put it in your pocket. If you want to, you can buy two batteries. The ipaq is bulky enough with the normal battery.
HP said that "there aren't any devices made by HP with WM6.1 at the moment so they will have to make tests if the ipaq 610 is compatable with wm 6.1 and then think of releasing update". IMHO this means something like "We are not going to release wm 6.1 update if you want an official wm 6.1 phone go buy something else" . Of course it's compatable with wm 6.1 and it's working much better with it, but they have to pay $$$ to Microsoft so they can use wm 6.1 and they probably won't do that. The truth is, that the ipaq is cheaper then most of the other devices with similar hardware. I don't think that of they release an udate it will be better than the russian rom. The battery drains because you have a very, very fast CPU. I tested it with XcpuScalar and it plays 320x240 MP4 video with decent quality when clocked at 104MHZ. Now you can imagine the excessive power of the CPU, which is utilized at maximum only when playing QUAKE 2 or some playstation emulator, or when using SKYPE.
thanks for the infos but i can't register there to download a rom.what can we do for this?i don't speak russian

it 'll enables me to charge the high capacity battery and the normal battery...
I installed the last ROM update from this thread..
until now, i still haven't found any bugs.. does anyone have found a bugs in this ROM?
I am still using the previous ROM, not the latest one that my link above goes to.
In the previous ROM, the most frustrating bug is the inability to do voice and data at the same time. Initiating or receiving a call immediately terminates the data connection. This is very frustrating - the best thing about 3G is being able to sync emails and so on while talking on the phone, particularly when using the 614c as a high-speed modem for your laptop.
Sadly, no more of this for me... the benefits of the Russian WM6.1 ROM outweigh this (albeit quite big) disadvantage.

Move outlook message to storage card
found an article very useful for heavy e-mail user (like me) >> here so you can download large attachment file.
here it is:
Using a registry editor, create or edit the following entries:
HKLM\\System\Inbox\Settings\PropertyPath with value \Storage Card\Messaging
HKLM\\System\Inbox\Settings\AttachPath with value \Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments
Then move the entire Messaging folder under \Windows to \Storage Card and do a soft reset.
do carefully, i'm a newbie
One caveat is that you need to disable the "Messaging" Today plugin before your soft reset. If you don't do this, a second "\Storage Card" folder will be created in your ROM and your real Storage Card will be renamed "\Storage Card2", which isn't very useful is it?

Hi Hipppo,
do you have any news about a newer ROM that does not have this problem ?
after using it a while did you find any other problem related to theses cooked rom ?
are thoses new ROMs comming with NetCF3.5 or older ?
Hello Albertorrent,
I have stopped using the yevg001 ROM mentioned in my first posting and I am now using his latest ROM which I think is called Build 20270.1.3.1 v1.4 rev1.2.
I have found this ROM to be stable, no problems. I recommend it.
It allows concurrent voice and data usage.
I am afraid my limited technical knowledge does not allow me to understand your question about NetCF3.5.
hipppo
Thanks,
I ordered my phone monday so I Might have it at the end of the week.
I'll try this new rom.
net CF is usefull to run some applications that has been developped whith it.
I just know that some application cannot install and run if there is not the latest CF (3.5) instaled
for exemple this one :
http://www.retrobits.net/ppc/ppc.shtml
you can find it here :
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/fr/index.php?soft=1187
thanks
just google it
albertorrent - i have the netcf3.5 as a separate Cab and i install in on the SD card. I haven't noticed any problem using it that way. I think it was somewhere on the forum but you can always google it. If you can't find it i can e-mail it to you. Right now i don't have it installed and I don't miss it much but some programs require it. At the moment I'm using the latest official 6.0 rom and i find the machine quite stable and fast with it. I had the 1.6 version of the russian 6.1 rom but for now i'm with 6.0
Hi I have the following issue when cooking both WM6.1 and WM6.5 ROM.
If I use a donor ROM with MS bluetooth stack, when I am trying the pair my WinXP netbook which is running Widcomm/Broadcom stack, my netbook can see the following service from my WM phone:
- ActiveSync
- Network Access Point (NAP)
- Dial-up Networking (DUN)
- OBEX Object Push
- Voice Gateway
If I use a donor ROM without MS bluetooth stack, but supplement the missing SYS part (SYS/Bluetooth and SYS/Bluetooth_0409) from another donor ROM which has MS bluetooth stack, then my netbook can only see the following service from my WM phone:
- ActiveSync
- OBEX object push
- Voice Gateway
The major show-stopper here is the missing of NAP. This is stopping me from moving to the latest shipped ROM I can get my hand on, as most recent WM shipped ROM all have been using Widcomm/Broadcom stack.
I am cooking for HTC Diamond. Due to the above issue, the best ROM I can get for HTC Diamond are:
- WM 6.1 build 21042 (donor from Topaz)
- WM 6.5 build 21887 (donor from Topaz) with native NK + OEMDrivers from pine ROM.
If someone has any solution to this issue, please help. Thanks.
I am impressed you have managed to get that far transplanting the MS BT Stack back into a device that natively has the Broadcom/Widcomm stack. I am keen to know what files/modules and registry entries you removed/added/changed from the OEMDrivers folder to get this far? I have a BT carkit and it simply doesn't get on well with the Broadcom stack on my custom-ROM'd LEO. With the same WM build and native drivers on my old Blackstone it works perfectly (with my BT carkit..).
Cheers
Andy
No, I am not. I am cooking for HTC Diamond, so my base ROM always has MS bluetooth stack. It's the donor ROMs that I am porting from that have Widcomm/Broadcom stack, because all the recent HTC WM builds always come with Widcomm/Broadcom stack.
Ah sorry, misunderstood. I thought the Diamond had the Broadcom stack natively.
If you have the MS BT stack natively then I'd have thought the MS BT components in the latest MS builds would work? I always use the 'full' MS Builds that are kindly packaged by DFT and not builds extracted from 'donor' ROMs.
Andy
I have always been sourcing donor ROMs from official ROMs releases. This way, I don't have to worry about beta OS, stability, time-bomb etc. Call me un-adventurous, but this is my preferred way of cooking and the source is legitimate, sort of ...
I would refrain from using unofficial/leaked MS build drops for the mean time if this issues can be resolved through other means.
Solved
I have found the answer to my own question.
It was caused by the DSM order in package.sof. For donor ROMs which don't have MS bluetooth stack, the package.sof will not contain the DSM UUID for SYS/Bluetooth and SYS/Bluetooth_0409. When the missing SYS are supplemented from another ROM, BuildOS will append their DSM UUIDs at the end, and so their RGUs will override the RGU from SYS/INTERNETSHARE and setup BT communication as PANU instead of NAP.
I analyzed packages.sof from Topaz ROM and SYS/INTERNETSHARE comes after SYS/Bluetooth.
As a result, I am now running my Diamond with WM6.5 Build 21913 ported from Leo 3.14.
Hello my friends,
Like you know, Opera Mini6.5 has been released a few day :
http://www.operamini.com/mobile/download/versions/
This version use Java bu, with these, we can having a new Browser that works with the new web stadard 'css3, html5,etc....)
I have tried to install and run on my HD2 with Java FX, and i have an error (cannot etablish Internet connection)
A friend, wh have a TG01 can run this browser with JavafX whitout probleme.
I have tried on Several rom, like Dutty, Ultrashot, and same problem.
Anyone have tried ?
Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
Nixeus
Would this not have to go to the HD2 forum and discuss there about JVM that may work on the HD2? Java FX is just one from Oracle - is there no other JVM that was delivered with the HD2 (usually it was the Esmertec JBed)?
Mind that some JVM do not utilize the Active Sync Connection of the device. They connect via radio access only - so if your device is connected to AS the access will not work.
First, some other WM6/6.x phone have the same problem.
Secondly, i have tested with Esmertec Jbed, and i have an exception at launch
Opera mini 6.5 (just installed) works for me on a Tornado with JBed 20080813.2.1 (aka JBed Rose as it came from the S740).
Usually nobody cares about JVM on WM anymore (who ever did anyway?).
Did any older version of Opera Mini work on that setup?
Does any other application with network access work on that setup?
The basic problem here is to make the JVM work right on the device - there is nothing HW or ROM (so XIP, OEM or SYS) related.
works fine on my blackstone with Sun Java FX.
you just need to set up correctly the internet connection on java before launching
Works fine on my HTC Diamond US with Esmertec JBed 20090416.5.1.
