[WM6.5.x ROMS] Solution found- connecting to facebook on Resco Contact Manager, SPB Mobile Shell, FIM, etc

[Guest emperorben]

Hey guys,

For those of you using WM6.5.x ROMs (especially WM6.5.5), you may encounter issues on following programs:

i) Resco Contact Manager- when trying to connect to Facebook, the screen comes up blank.

ii) SPB Mobile Shell- huge difficulty connecting to Facebook. (For unknown reason, sometimes you can connect)

iii) Evernote Mobile- The screen comes up blank when you open up a note.

iv) FIM (Facebook IM)- Issue connecting with facebook

iv) and others!

The issue lies with the new version of webview.dll in the recent WM builds. Therefore, replacing the webview.dll with the previous working versions helps to overcome the problem

1. Download the webview.zip in this thread and unzip the file.

3. Use Resco File Explorer and copy the file into \Windows of your mobile. (overwrite the original file; please backup the original file in case anything goes wrong).

4. Soft Reset.

The above issues should be resolved. So far, I haven't encounter any side effects to this workaround. If you guys found any side-effect, let me know.

Hi msra6la2, the hack solves issue with rendering information for programs that uses MS Internet Explorer on WM6.5.x. It will not be able to help with the keyboard lag issue on Opera.

Thanks for the heads-up RCMAN12. Will add to the 1st post.

From which WM build did you take this file?

I´ve tried this and the result has been horrible.

Yesterday night I changed the file webview.dll.

Then, Omnia started to freeze when I tried to log to facebook. After, the device froze randomly. I decided to go to sleep and continue in the morning.

I woke up, and the device was not even turning on.

I´m trying to revive omnia right now. It´s charging it´s battery (somehow it got depleted i see because of... something that went wrong).

When I manage to turn it on , it would be handy if someone could post a webview for my version. Will never again do something without a backup, I swear.

I have the following firmware:

PDA: I8000NXXIL1

CSC: I8000ATOIL1

TELEPHONE: I8000XXIK3

Win 6.5 , CE 5.2.21876 comp 21876.5.0.72

edit: had to hard reset in the end :( .

Why did you do the change? The fix is specific for WM 6.5.x (3 and 5 mainly), you have 6.5 so you are not interested.
