Hope you will get it right this time http://rapidshare.co...dDial_Omnia.cab

Waiting your next ROM.

Cool, thanks.
I will test with this app as well but probably won't cook it into the ROMs unless it is very easy to do... still to do reading up on cab<->package conversion...
I think there was something in Stzupy's kitchen to do that...

[shokka9]

Use sztupys cab2pkg

in shell type cab2pkg nameofcab nameofpkg

There is a how to txt doc in the kitchen.

I prefer to use Ervius Package Creator v2.7. Very simple, click to open cab, then it done. Add folder to OEM folder and thats it.

Some cabs are harder than others.

Shokka, did you manage to try the Cyberon voice dial?  I built an IA5 ROM to try Cyberon but it doesn't work, the headset won't activate it, not sure if other software such as jetware needed.
I also managed to confirm that my Jabra headset pretty s***

not tried yet, been busy...

soon tho.....

Sorry for lack of update today, been trying to figure out the preconfiguration thing.  Seems that preconfiguration doesn't work properly with the new bootloader and hacked XIP, this is the same for the hacked IA5 XIP as well.
As soon as the new bootloader and XIP are used, preconfiguration doesn't happen.  I can get it to run by replacing configxml.exe with the i908 version but I'm not convinced it is doing everything as the settings in the csc file doesn't seem to have taken any effect.
So I'll leave this down as a 'feature' of using the ROM with BT wakeup fix
Will look into the other bugs tomorrow.

No update on this today, was working on another project...

Will try and get back to looking at this tomorrow, but I suspect that we will lose preconfiguration with the full BT fix...

Excellent work you are doing Stevenh, but .....

While wakeup is the only issue we know of - and that is really no biggie given it is that way on most previous winmo devices - extreme hacking to fix that seems to be making things worse then before eg the preconfig issue.

Perhaps instead of tearing your hair out (assuming you still have hair ) fixing this perhaps you should just let it go?

Personally I am 100% happy with a full Rom with BT fixed. No biggie pressing dpad to wake up or powerbutton to wake up - a button still needs to be hit. And one advantage of the power button wake up is that one wont need things like s2u2 or similar. And for those who dont use s2u2 etc, there are no worries with unintentional wake up. Seems the advantages actually outweigh the disadvantages.

Yeah I tend to agree with you on this one... but it's just something I'd like to know why as there shouldn't be any reason for it...
Anyway, for now I'll leave this and use the i900 bootloader and try to look into other bugs such as the finger mouse issue first.
Next will be to port newer versions.
Sector should be releasing a new 21176 soon so if that's your cup of tea ... personally I couldn't get used to the interface so prefer 6.1 as is now and waiting for SPB 3 to come out

[bobobird]

Good.

Any time to make a full rom ??

Hi, given the issues we've had with the ROMs so far, I have temporarily dropped support for the BT fix in my ROMs until I have found a better solution.  The issues I've seen so far are:

RDS of radio doesn't work - did it ever?
Bluetooth sometimes flaky - but could be my cheap headset
Camera sometimes hangs when switching from camera to video cam mode - this could possibly be fixed using the new camera application, but not tried yet.
Lock on wakeup? - not tried yet
Preconfiguration doesn't run - I think this may be a bigger issue as preconfig is needed to set up a number of things on first boot...

So for now, I've released a new ROM for those who just want the newer OS version
