Info on ROM development

Hi to all,

The 3 new 8773 ROMs i.e. 18L, 3La and 3Lb have been uploaded, see post#1

Thnx for testing, commenting and supporting!!

Regards, ansar
[HTC 7 Pro] chrisliphart:
Forgive the dumb question, but what's the difference between 18L, 3La, and 3Lb? I believe they are the different language packs, right? So there's 18 in the first and 3 in the each other two?
[HTC 7 Pro] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Yes this is it, different lang packs

ROMs are getting larger all the time

I hope apollo will not exceed 1st gen flashing limit

Regards, ansar
[HTC 7 Pro] chrisliphart:
Agreed on Apollo, but I'm not holding my breath. lol I've been working on downloading for several hours now (RapidShare is drrrraaaaaaaaagging along and keeps cutting out), but I'll report after I flash it. Can't wait for a little Tango action!
[HTC 7 Pro] atm153:
The new NT 8107 build works much better on my device, XBL games will actually run now. Don't know what changed to make that work better, but I'm sure grateful! I'll be donating when I get my next paycheck.
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
ansar? can you not use Dropbox from where you are? Rapidshare has got to be the worst "For free users" fileshare site on the damn web. I don't even try anymore with them.

If you wanna try getting an account use this Put the file in the public folder and share the direct link to it. Perfect and no bandwidth limit.
[HTC 7 Pro] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Can you report after a complete test?

Thnx for commenting!!

[HTC 7 Pro] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Not possible, somebody else?

Just tried the 8773 ROM and still I get the "connection setup" error every time I reboot the phone. Otherwise, 8773 is awesome and definitely feels faster and smoother!
[HTC 7 Pro] spydc:
HI Ansar,

I posted in the wrong thread earlier. The 8773 rom for the GOLD_C is great. The only problem is that the "change network profile" and "change prl" options under cellular settings do not work and they are important for cdma.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
THANKS!!!

This is awesome... dowloading the 18 language TANGO! THANKS ansar!!!

I will report back with my results after the download completes (Should only be about a week or so... :eek: ) jejeje
[HTC 7 Pro] jeffc313:
ansar, could you host on SkyDrive? You said dropbox isn't available, but is SkyDrive?
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Uploading to DROPBOX!!!

ansar...

If it is ok with you, I will be downloading your ROMs and sharing them through my Dropbox... :D

I will put the link here or I can PM you and give you the link so you can update the first post...

Let me know if this will be ok... ;)

EVERYONE ELSE: I will do this as long as ansar is ok with it but it takes a while for these downloads to complete so it may not be until tonight before the link gets posted... :(
[HTC 7 Pro] spydc:
Any word on a fix for the "change network profile" and the "change prl" bug?
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Dont think thats an issue...

I just flashed the ROM and even though I get the NETWORK SETUP message, I can still access the Internet... I know this is an "issue" but is it really that big? if at worst, install the DFT rom and update your PRL and PROFILE then flash this ROM if you feel like it but I dont believe the ROM overwrites these files, they are stored in another part of your device...

Hope that helps... I know its annoying but hey... you got the latest and greatest... THANKS ANSAR!!!

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Alright... For those that have been waiting on an upload to DROPBOX... find the links below... Its 3 parts because Dropbox did not allow the file to be uploaded due to its size...

make sure you have all three files in thesame folder and extract... :D

Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: LINKS TAKEN DOWN. SKYDRIVE LINKS IN POST 130

Ansar... I am sending you a PM to see if this is ok... again, if not I will comply and bring down the links. Thankz!!!
[HTC 7 Pro] aqualls:
If you could do a nand backup like on android and restore the rom exactly as before, the profile and PRL issue would not be a big deal. But since not being able to update the PRL affects many people not being able to receive MMS, it's a pretty big deal breaker. Most people doin't want to reflash and set up a rom just for that...
[HTC 7 Pro] atm153:
Ansar, I just realized that this rom (NT 8107) doesn't seem to be unlocked..? Registry Editor and TouchXplorer are in the rom, but I can't run them. Also tried installing an xap from IE and it failed right away. Not really a problem for me as the only thing I wanted from it was Internet Sharing, but I figured I ought to mention that.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
MMS works for me...

Your results are different than mine... I was able to send an MMS AND receive it... not only that but I am even able to send video which is pretty cool...

I know that its alot for people to update their NETWORK PROFILE and PRL before flashing to this but if its something you can do, I recommend it... The previous ROM's I have tried NEVER gave me the option to send video... Then again... I never tried, this one says "SEND PICTURE OR VIDEO"

See screenshot of MMS... :D

I have uploaded the video screencapture too...

Again... I think these items are saved in a different part/partition and therefore are not overwritten by the ROM at all... they do not get touched...
[HTC 7 Pro] spydc:
Yes, data and mms works out of the box... but sometimes people have problems with data/mms so the network profile update fixes that. In addition, you would never be able to update the prl when a new one gets released. It does not get saved in a different partition so flashing to another rom is not a work around.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Addressing issues in the ROM

I had been working on a custom ROM for my own Sprint Arrive (GoldC) and realized the various issues that maybe ansar couldn't test for, because maybe he doesn't have the device? I modified his ROM and combined his unlock with my ROM. Here's what I have:

- No bluetooth app )the one added in by ansar)

- No usb tethering app (the one by ansar)

- Prl change working

- Profile update working

- No data error on first boot

- Search button working like stock

- some extra additions (not apps)

- Sprint hub taken out

- Telenav left in

If I am allowed and if anyone wants, I can post my ROM here.

EDIT: Since a few people requested it via PM, I'll make it available here. If anyone is against it, please let me know and I will take it off.

Info on ROM development

Hi to all,

A doBootstrap module was left out in purpose from previous versions

I will include it in a next version that will be uploaded during the day

Both download links (6) will be retained in post #1 of this thread

In this case one can choose better according to what he needs

Thnx for commenting and supporting!!

Hi,

The new V1 8773 18L, 3La and 3Lb ROMs have been uploaded, see post #1

Thnx for testing and commenting!!

Regards, ansar
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Hey ansar, is there anyway you can release a version that is without the non-HTC apps and default search key function? I changed it in my own ROM, but your ROMS are perfect with the exception of those things. ;)
[HTC 7 Pro] atm153:
Have you tested XBL games on your rom?
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Glitch found

Hey ansar...

I have not yet flashed the new release of your ROM. I am currently using the initial 8773 release...

I may have found a glitch :eek: ... dont know if anyone else has experienced it or can confirm thesame but I was using LOGMEIN to access my PC at home (to download your new ROM :D ) and I found a glitch... Below is the series of events that lead to this...

1.) Accessed IE (phone) and remote desktop'd my PC and got the download started.

2.) I logged off and closed the tab on Internet Explorer (phone)

3.) From my Home Screen, I tried to access Internet Explorer and went to Landscape mode to use my keyboard...

This is where it glitched, my phone stopped for about 5 seconds and the screen turned off. Then my phone vibrated and I saw the HTC logo... Phone rebooted itself... :confused:

- I am now back into LogMeIn trying to see if I can get this to occur again... so far, it seems to be an isolated incident as I cannot get this error to replicate...

Just wanted to report this to you as an FYI... I have not found any other issues/glitches aside from this.

Thanks!!! :cool:

EDIT 1: So... as soon as I RDP'd to my home pc again and saw the new ROM (Tango V1) had completed the download... I went home for LUNCH and FLASHED it :eek: ... jejeje :D

For those wondering... I can confirm that the NETWORK PROFILE and the PRL can be updated on this new version with no issues... jejeje

As stated before... Im an addict man... Im going to start looking for ROMaholic's Anonimous... ;) ... jejeje THANKS ANSAR!!!
[HTC 7 Pro] adihere:
Thanks I will try this real soon...i am already running DFT's rom and will test this one out as i like the added mms features in tango.

Quick question i know they are language packs but what exactly is in or the difference between 3La / 3Lb the break down that is in each one would be nice...Thanks!

Also: did anyone upload the V1 to their dropbox or anywhere else that is other than rapidshare?
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Uploading to DROPBOX!!!

FIRST I CANT STRESS IT ENOUGH... THANKS ANSAR FOR YOUR HARD WORK...​

Now, here are the goodies on SKYDRIVE... :D​

***For the ROM links, go to POST #130... ;) ***​

For the

V1

Tango ROM by ANSAR... use these following 3 links!!!

Part 1: SEE POST 130

Part 2: SEE POST 130

Part 3: SEE POST 130

Make sure all these files are in thesame folder and extract... Otherwise, it wont work and will tell you there is an "unexpected end of archive"...

Enjoy the upload and again, big thanks to ANSAR for the ROM... Im just trying to make it easier to download... jejeje

EDIT 1: CHECK POST 130... NEW LINKS ON SKYDRIVE INSTEAD OF DROPBOX...​

Lol you crack me up mapaz04! There is also the WP7 Update Cab Sender app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346030 which is not as GUI :D (no pun intended) as the ROM backup but worked fast for me.
[HTC 7 Pro] Aleki:
For the ROM backup, can it be used to transfer everything to a new ROM? Or is it something to have only to recover from a botched update?
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
No, looks like the backup litteraly backs up your whole device with exception to ZUNE files (music/videos)... So if you flash and mess up your phone... You can use this and restore to what you had when you made the backup...
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Messaging limit

ansar,

I was checking through the ROM and found that we still have the 160 character SMS limit :mad: ... is there a way to disable this :confused: on 8773 or even 8107?

I remember even on Windows Mobile we could get a higher limit... In addition, we could also go to the registry and even change the amount of data an MMS could send... Sprint limits this also but when we changed it (forgot actual registry entry) we could send 10mb+ through MMS :eek:

Just a thought since I am quite sure NONE of us would complain if you were to "ENABLE" these features for us :rolleyes: ... Or even if you know where to edit, share the Registry settings to change... jejeje

Thank you and I know you are busy... Just thoughts on how to improve your custom ports/ROM's.
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Ok common, if Sprint has some 160char limit to text or has an issue with multiple SMS (I blame the network, not the phone as it may be what was causing a few double sends and whatnot) just let it be. If the phone can be out for a year and a fix hasn't been made. Don't count on it anytime soon.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
I understand this but... Again, when on Windows Mobile, we could go to the registry and increase/disable these limits... This is a limit on the CDMA Sprint specific/based ROMs... Its preset and should be able 2 be disabled...

Again, I say this because Sprint has always done this to Windows Phones... And we could always do a "workaround..." jejeje

Sent from my T7575 using Board Express
[HTC 7 Pro] adihere:
Yes i totally agree and second the notion to figure out how to workaround...i mean it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue on some other sprint phones like androids and such even though the network will chop it up and send multiple txt's but least the user in not capped at the 160 limit :confused: and can continue to put their thoughts down rather than having to tweak or erase some of the txt just to start another one :mad: as i have sooooo many time.

So im all for finding a tweak for this!!!
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Increase mms size [registry edit]

I dont want to SPAM your thread with irrelevant information ANSAR so... I have made a thread to INCREASE MMS SIZE for the GOLD_C. I am posting this here only because of the previous discussion I was having a couple of posts back in regard to messaging...

Supreme Shorcuts anyone?

You can use the Supreme Shorcuts App and pin the BING tile to your home screen (I also pinned the INTERNET SHARING TILE with that too... jejeje). I hated the search button as the phone at the beginning but it has grown on me... Now, I use that as a fast way to get to the phone and the Supreme Shorcut tile to do the search...

Supreme Shorcuts is a Homebrew App... Find it in the Bazaar Marketplace here: http://118.139.161.234/bazaar/BazaarForPC.aspx

Which Version

Hello,

Looking to get this on my Sprint Arrive- Which is the best needed version of the 3 to download for English?

Thank you,
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
ROM version

I use the 18L one... Tango V1
[HTC 7 Pro] purian23:
Thank You!

You guys are all awesome! Thank you! Ansar Huge Thanks, so far no issues and all is well!

Downgraded my SPL- Upgraded to HSPL and Flashed your ROM all in one setting and it was flawless. Internet Sharing was my biggest reason to flash, but the rest is just great! It's been since my TP2 days that i've done all the modding I once used was custom to!
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Puritan they all include English, the 18L includes a total of 18 languages, the other 2 come with either Japanese or Chinese in addition to English.
[HTC 7 Pro] houdini13:
do any of the ## codes work on this rom? I'm still running DFT and none of them work from the dialer.
[HTC 7 Pro] adihere:
^Interesting...

Hey quick question, is there an app out there yet that save all settings and tile locations etc... so when you hard reset or change roms there would be not to much to re-customize to your liking?

Also for ppl coming from DFT rom is there anything that has to be done prior to loading ANSAR's...considering they are on radio v1.51, bootloader v1.25??
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
I came from DFT... I did not have to update or change anything when flashing into ANSAR's ROMS... :eek:

In regard to the ## numbers... They dont seem to work... Try it yourself: ##634# (field test)... All I get is a "Loading..." page... :confused: Dont know if your results are thesame...

Currently rebooting just in case... :cool:
[HTC 7 Pro] houdini13:
yeah my results are the same on dft rom... just loading forever and i think it says field test. They worked on the stock oem rom.

I'm hoping ansar will include both of your reg edits in the new rom.
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Ansar. Skydrive can now support 2G files and you still get to keep your 25G free. Start hosting your roms from there please. :P

Also I have been getting the hankering to finally test one of the roms (if I can download it) and wonder, is the bug that DFT has with data and wifi affecting his rom or not? The bug happens when you have a WiFi connection and you data connection on at the same time. For some reason anything involving data slows to a crawl unless one of them is disabled. Either use WiFi with cellular data turned off, of visa versa and things work fast as they should.

Outside of that and a few fantom updates that show a number on the tile but don't show as updates until a reboot is performed, the DFT rom has been ok. Mwan just being goofy and not getting back to us with an updated rom. God the lack of community and sharing with the WP7 roms is a joke compared to the Android and the old WM6.X days :(
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
SKYDRIVE REQUEST... DONE! jejeje

So far, it seems ANSAR has not had a problem when ive uploaded his ROM's to dropbox so, hoping the feeling is still thesame I have taken the liberty of doing thesame for SKYDRIVE. I am sharing a folder on SKYDRIVE strictly for ANSAR ROM's for the

Tip and ROM development info

Hi to all,

This is a tip on how to change searchkey

With registry editor navigate to key

[HKLM\Software\OEM\WebSearchOverride]

and change the value of

"ActionType"=3

to 6

This will set searchkey to Bing (default action)

////////////////////////////////

A new 8773 ROM version 5.12.651.04

will be released soon as well as Gold_C Manager V1.0

that will replace U2M8107
