i8000 Lite ROM WM6-5-5 (Updated 22 Apr 2010)

[Guest Gary Crutcher]

Has anyone had trouble extracting the file? I've downloaded the files twice, but when I double click on the .zip, click extract then go through the wizard, I get a message telling me that the zip folder is invalid or corrupted.

Something may have happened when downloading.

Maybe one of the other members can help as I have never experienced

corruption in downloaded files.

Anybody help?

[Guest Gary Crutcher]

Seem like I just cannot flash Gary's ROM.

I just get a blank screen after initial start up alignment and hang there.

Same situation flashing JB3_6.5 and JB3_6.5.5.

Now total lost where went wrong.

Did you try flashing again?

Maybe something happened during flashing.

Maybe try hard reset.

[Guest abepara]

It seems that the program RAM used up faster than 6.5 JB3.

Thks for your quick reply.

Had tried many times and with many different configuration with the flash.

Still end up with a hang screen.

Will keep trying.

Finally managed to flashed successfully with 2.14 with the following configuration.

pda: JB3-23529-8PPpda

csc: I8000XSOJB1

movinand: PDA_I8000NXXJB3_HW_40.MST

phone: Phone_I8000XXJB1

After flashing the phone did hang but after hard reset was ok.

Now found other problems:

1. Phone hang when connected to samsung New PC Studio therefore cannot restore phonebook and sms.

2. Tried Samsung MIT to restore, phone also hang.

Help needed.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The reason NPS and Kies won't work is because of the default relocation of the ROM modules

during cooking. I have tested a new version with Kies and Kies does connect to my O2.

I will post a new version.

@Gary Crutcher,

Please leave rest of languages keyboards in ROM it's vital for all of us that we like your ROM in English but we want to be able to communicate in our languages (SMS).

Thank you very much for sharing your excellent work with us.

Your welcome.

It has to do with how the modules are relocated when building the ROM.

I use the default relocation when using Wes58's RomTool.

Wes found that by relocating some of the modules to slot 0, it fixed the problem.

Not sure how that affects available memory.

yeah i saw his post on the other thread, i have no idea how to fix that in your current 6.5 ROM, i look at it tonight and see. But if you can upload a new ROM with the fix that would be amazing as i love your ROM. I'm not ready to move to 6.5.5 since it still beta.

Now I am working on restoring the keyboard languages to 6.5.5 as well as the Kies problem.

When I finish, I will work on 6.5 and do the same.

[Guest tacchan23]

Thanks a lof for the new JB3 wm6.5.5 ROM!

I've been a bit away from flashing but was waiting for something like this:)

[Guest speedfrog]

dear Gary Crutcher

are you thinking of makeing a jb3 ultra lite 6.5.5 rom? <_<?

a rom with non programs and sutff.

[Guest alexdeejay_fm]

i`m the only one with this issue?forget about the samsung today,dont need it,buth samsung widgets,spb shell or any shell dont cover the today screen,what to do?need help <_<.verry smooth and no other problem so far.

[Guest dande]

@alexdeejay_fm

Forget widgets, try titanium.

There are some good themes from gchris or contable or try a mixture of yours.

[Guest dande]

Hi Gary Crutcher

I am bit curious about your next release.

Did you include SDK Certs, NetCF 3.5 in your ROM?

As I see above you still have samsung widgets included (useless in 6.5.5).

Have you remove themes, images, video ringtones to make your ROM lighter?

I would have like it a bit lighter than it is but this is my personal taste.

And I want to thank you for you decision to include the rest of keyboards and XT9 files in your coming release.

Thank you for sharing your work.

I'm curious about the SDK Certs, NetCF 3.5 and what not as well.

My next request is if you can do an ultra lite, with all the SDK/Net/opengl/g-sensor/overclocking/threaded sms /etc stuff already enabled. I only ask this cause you seem to be doing a great job on being a chef, and perfect timing since I just got my omnia.

Thanks again for all your help in the community.

Hi Tacchan23,

Thanks a lot. <_<

Will have a new version with all keyboard languages restored

and fix for Samsung Kies later today.

First things first...I need to restore language keyboards in 6.5 and 6.5.5 and

fix the Samsung Kies issue.

Then, I can look into ultralite versions. :mellow:

If you are referring to the bar above the today screen, I already mentioned

that in my first post. It is a Samsung issue with 6.5.5. When it gets fixed, I

will post a new ROM.

[Guest c3p9]

Gary,

I haven't tried your ROM yet but.... put a PayPal DONATE buttom on first post. I'm sure many of us will be glad to buy you a beer <_<

Thanks.

Donate link already there. Maybe not BIG enough - haha. :mellow:

[Guest Gary Crutcher]

Uploading new version with:

1. keyboards for all languages

2. KIES fix

May take awhile - uploading is a slow process.

Will post on 1st page when upload complete.

Still 8MB Page Pool.

Free Program Ram still should be the same.

NetCF 3.5 is part of 6.5.5. Actually there is a NetCF v3.7 I will look at, but may or may not include it.

Don't know yet.

SDK Certs not installed. There are cabs for this. Easy user install.

Will be working on an ultra lite version after I fix the keyboard and Kies issue with 6.5.

As far as adding some of your suggestions:

- overclocking - prefer users do that - not something I want to mess with.

- others - will look into them

[Guest Gary Crutcher]

ROM updated - see 1st post

- All language keyboards re-enabled

- Kies issue fixed.

Thanks for everyone's help. <_<
