Thanks for another great build! i just swapped out my arrive for another one at sprint today due to the hardware failure i spoke of earlier in this thread. I definitely was not expecting for one to be in stock to do a direct swap with,but i got lucky. I already flashed this latest and greatest and am looking forward to getting familiar with the cab update process.....thanks again Lead!
[HTC 7 Pro] tdecision10:
Greetings,

Please forgive the noob question.

What is the benefit of having a static MAC address on the Arrive?

-tdecision10
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Think of a MAC address as a unique serial number for your device. It is different for each device and is used mainly for purposes of identifying your device on a network. The network being your wireless internet (made up of stuff connected to your router) most of the time. By law, a MAC address needs to remain the same, because that is how your network knows that it's your device. Now, in a case where you want to identify and ban someone from using your internet, using their MAC address is handy, so you know whenever they try to access your internet by their MAC address. a MAC address is ALWAYS static and should never be allowed to be changed by a user. When HTC implemented Internet Sharing for most of it's devices, they messed up with the wireless drivers. Due to this, the drivers were not able to grab the devices' actual MAC address. As a fail-safe, the drivers were designed to make one up(I think). So, every time you rebooted your device, the driver was making up a random MAC address. You won't notice an issue upon usage, but your router is going to have to issue a new lease for each new MAC address, resulting in a lot of confusion for people who like to track what is connected to their router (though, you can still identify the device MAC addresses, since they are HTC MAC addresses). Some people like to use what is called MAC address filtering on their network. This is a function that allows the user to allow and disallow particular MAC addresses on their network. People would use this to allow their HTC Arrive on their network and want it to stay that way, so an ever-changing MAC address is quite troublesome. Anyway, long story short, a MAC address is always supposed to be static, so now the ROM is the way it was supposed to be. Hope that helps. Btw, if anyone thinks I made a mistake anywhere, feel free to correct me.
[HTC 7 Pro] tdecision10:

Hi guys, I can't seem to get it to work. Phone is stuck at 0% and doesn't go anywhere. Takes about 5 minutes, and then throws an error 262 at me. The recovery doc suggests a soft reset should fix it, but it doesn't.

I'm currently running 8773, with SPL 1.25.230506.1. Not sure if I've missed a step or done something wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
[HTC 7 Pro] dwellman:
Hey. Visited the forums yesterday to find the xap to revert the Search key back to stock (Why do I need TWO "Phone" buttons?), found this ROM instead. Very nice. I forgot to back up all my pictures, but, yeah, very nice.

I think I found an issue. . . the sound enhancer: most of the "eq" settings don't seem to do anything. . . I think the "Dance" one works, I think. There's a way to update this, right?

I do have one question: If I decided I wanted Telenav (Bing maps is good, except having to tap the screen for updates) how do I get it?
[HTC 7 Pro] iknowsingh:
Search the Marketplace for 'Telenav' or 'Sprint' and it should pop up. If you search 'Sprint', all of the preloaded Sprint apps will appear.
[HTC 7 Pro] dwellman:
Oh. weird. I did that yesterday for 'telenav' and nothing came back. Search for 'sprint' and it was first in the list.

Marketplace pushed an update for sound enhancer. but there doesn't seem to be any difference between any of the settings except for dance(beats). It does do something because there's a difference between on and off, just no difference between the presets.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Thanks the info. I checked this and indeed you are correct. (I wish you were here when I released the RC for the current ROM.)

Make this registry change to fix that:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\APP_CUST\SoundEnhancer]
"MangoModel" = dword:1

Change the above to 0

In other news: I realized that I need to reevaluate the method for cab sending, so sorry folks, this ROM isn't yet completely compatible with cab updates.
[HTC 7 Pro] captainchris:
Awe man! I just finally flashed last night! lol. Thanks for the hard work!
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Haha, now imagine how many times I have to reflash and keep losing my data! I had issues with the certification portion which I have now figured out, but now I have to figure out how to actually make the cabs go through, because the updates keep failing at this point. Hopefully next ROM will include them. Thanks for the support!
[HTC 7 Pro] captainchris:
I'm having very quick responses and good stability with this rom... For the last 12 hours. Haha. I do have two problems that I also had with the last release. 1st one I think is a bug. When I go to voice dial I always get an error the first try, 99% of the time. It will say contact not found, or something like that. Then if I immediately try again it will work. I.e. "call Mom" "sorry, no contact by that name" "call mom" "okay! Ring ring" lol. Anyway, I have had this issue with every rom I have used. Second issue may not be a bug. My "me" tile often says I have 2 new items when I really don't have anything. It does it quite often, if I open the tile it will temporarily go away but will then come back. And its always 2 new items. Any ideas?
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
I figured it out, delete this please.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
There really isn't much to it. go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195647 and follow the instruction to download, then follow the instructions to install the HSPL(threre is a read me file in the download for additional info). After this process, that tri-color screen will read "Cotulla.." something. That means your phone is ready for custom ROMS. After that, download the ROM, put your phone in bootloader mode (tri-color screen) and run the .exe. After a few seconds, the ROM will start being flashed to your phone. This will erase all current data on your phone.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
I do have one quick question, I remember reading that some apps wouldn't work on Tango, is that phone specs blocking them or the o.s. version blocking it?

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Hey man, the second issue I have had on my last 2 arrives even with the stock rom. It may just be a system bug.

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

I know this is a very dumb question but can I still sync it to Zune and download my music?
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
I haven't heard of this. Any apps in particular that you heard about? All the apps I use work just fine.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
I couldn't find this earlier when I searched but it looks like it my be spec sensitive not o.s. version sensitive. http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2012/03/07/heres-what-windows-phone-handsets-running-tango-wont-be-able-to-do/
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Yes, that is for the low memory devices, not phones like ours.
[HTC 7 Pro] captainchris:
AnyOne else have this problem? Not sure it's an issue with this rom because I have seen other people online have it but can't find a fix. When I use my me tile and go to notifications, if there is a facebook notification related to a picture and I click on it I get this error. "Can't get picture. It may be a connection issue (you can try again later.)

Someone else's picture? It may be an issue with their privacy settings."

Any idea what could be? It even happens with photos I have uploaded. Funny thing is, if I go to the what's new page, I can click on photos and load them, seems to be isolated to the notifications slide. Umm... Help?
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
I am getting that problem too.
[HTC 7 Pro] captainchris:
May be nothing, but my market quit working. Force close upon touching. Started working after a quick reboot.
[HTC 7 Pro] dandrayan:
I encountered a bug today that may prove difficult to track down. It also happened at least 2-3 times on the 8779 build. This morning, my phone was working fine until sometime after 10am after I received a call. Email and social network syncing stopped, and more importantly text messages failed to notify me upon arrival. It wasn't until about 3pm that I noticed that my phone had been unusually quiet, only to find that three texts had come in and were marked as unread in the Messaging Hub, but no toasts had ever appeared, the Live Tile was not updated, and the Lock Screen didn't show the message count. Once I rebooted, the email and social network syncs resumed and text messages started notifying me on arrival again.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

I had this problem all weekend, but it seems to have fixed itself now. Maybe there was a Facebook API update that temporarily broke the Windows Phone integration?
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Bug report format

To clarify the issues and make them easier to track down. I will need you guys to use the following format to report bugs to me. This way, I won't miss them and will be able to tackle them with more success. You may put "N/A" for any of the fields that don't pertain below:

-----------------------------------------------------------

ROM: posted date for the rom (please only mention bugs about the latest release)

ISSUE: detailed description of problem.

TO REPRODUCE: directions to reproduce issue, if you know how to.

LAST OCCURRED: general idea of how long ago and whether it's still going on.

BLUETOOTH WAS: on (connected or not)/ off

WIFI WAS: on (connected or not)/ off

APPS: If it's with a particular app, mention that in the ISSUE section. Here mention any other apps when were running in the back.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, folks. I hope all of you follow this, because it'll make it easier for us all to have a better rom in the end. Remember, I will try to fix whatever I can, but some issues might be just glitches from HTC (like the mac changing issue) or Microsoft (like the wifi not turning on issue). Both of those are fixed in this ROM though. :)

ROM: Latest release

ISSUE: freedom marketplace failed to install apps. App crashes. AND wp7roottools says EXPIRED when I try to use it. I only mention these issues of other apps because they both work with the last release.

TO REPRODUCE: use apps

AST RED: today

BLUETOOTH WAS: both

WIFI WAS: both

APPS: If it's with a particular app, mention that in the ISSUE section. Here mention any other apps when were running in the back.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Thanks. Neither of those are issues with the ROM itself. Here's why: 1. WP7RootTools is expired because that's the way the developer(Heathcliff74) intended it to be. He has mentioned that he will release a new version soon. 2. Microsoft has now encrypted all the apps on the Marketplace. Apps like freedom Marketplace will no longer work(until there is another way figured out) and crash because they are not designed to deal with the encryption. XAPs that you already have and others not from the marketplace will still work, though.
[HTC 7 Pro] captainchris:
INteresting. I looked on heathcliff's web page but couldn't find the answer so thank you very much. Just FYI, if you set the date back you can regain access to wp7roottools if you didn't know. Did they just start encrypting the apps? I hadn't downloaded an app in a few weeks, but not too long ago it worked for me. Is that something new?

Thank you for schooling me and getting back to us as soon as possible. Rom is doing wonderful. I have ran into a couple of bugs, but nothing I could reproduce. Mostly is PERFECT. Thank you again.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Yeah, no problem. I believe they started encrypting the apps about two weeks ago. You should check out the WP7RootsTools thread to keep up to date about that. There's more activity there than on his site.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Anyway to backups my texts with this rom, my phone is being replaced tomorrow.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Mine is getting replaced too and I gave up finding a backup program. They're out there, but I had too many texts anyway, so I'll just start fresh.

Good luck to you though jonnyboy.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
i backed it up with smsbackup and uploaded it to my skydrive. there is a complete backup tool coming in wp7roottools.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Cool, I'll check it out next time.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Update

Hey folks, I have a minor update possibly on the way and thought I should give a head up about the changes:

-Update to build 8779.8

-Added WP8 accents

-Changed compass driver for more accuracy

-English dictionary from WP8

-Added toggle for auto MMS download

-Minor bug fixes

Sorry, this not cab update capable. I haven't had time to figure it out. (Too busy with school)

I'm still debating whether I should release this or wait until the next build that adds more functionality. Thank this post if you want this update and are actually willing to flash it.
[HTC 7 Pro] pokedude750:
We want that update.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Awesome!

I was actually going to ask if you would be going back to 8779 because the 8773 doesnt seem to attach videos for me for some reason. Looking forward to your update man and as always, THANKS!!!
[HTC 7 Pro] atm153:
I would say, yes please. Auto MMS downloading would be amazing!
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Release scheduled

Thanks for the inputs! Hopefully, I'll be making the release this weekend. Too busy during the week, since I'm swamped with projects.
[HTC 7 Pro] venumx:
awesome switching back to my arrive from my galaxy nexus to try this rom out :) need wp7 back in my life
[HTC 7 Pro] dave.caldera:
Anyone having problems receiving mms messages? I cannot download them. Tried prl updates and so forth and yet nothing.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
When this happens, try a reboot, then go back to the MMS and click on the download link. Works for me... :p
[HTC 7 Pro] atm153:
I killed my Arrive trying to replace the screen today :( good luck with making this ROM awesome, I think I'm just gonna end up getting an iPhone thanks to Sprint's weirdness regarding WP8.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
At least you can sell the iPhone 5 for a profit when they release a Windows Phone 8 device.
[HTC 7 Pro] dave.caldera:
no dice tried everything im at a loss
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
hmm... one more, try turning off your WiFi, sometimes it wont download unless it is connected directly to your SPRINT network and not a home network.

Other than that, was it working for you at one time and it just stopped or has it been broken since flash?
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Level up

Update posted.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Freaking Awesome!!! DL'ing NOW!! jejeje
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
This is great, hopefully it will hold me over until 7.8

Thanks again
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Installing it now, woohoo.
[HTC 7 Pro] iknowsingh:
Just flashed! Love the cobalt color.. very vivid and fresh. Will post if I find and hiccups... thanks, lead!
[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:
Leadpoizon-

Thanks for the update! Just installed it this morning...will let you know how it goes...
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Does the Compass also affect gps location? I was having issues with apps not knowing where I was at without many refreshes on the last build.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Funny that you ask... Because that was a typo and I had actually meant to type gps driver. Yes, the gps driver was changed. The original that came with the phone has issues, so I changed it. :D
[HTC 7 Pro] tdecision10:
Update

Is there a way to get it without having to log into Wlive??

-Tdecision10
[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:
Wonder how easy it would be to add that 7.8 beta start screen...
[HTC 7 Pro] Dinchy87:
me too, i have downloaded the HTC HD7 7.8 ROM and wonder how can we port it to a HTC 7 pro version...? If somebody knew how please contact me...
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Are you sure you guys actually want it? It's super buggy, even the start screen. I have it running and it's not that pretty. The few differences I see are:

-New buggy start screen

-Accent picker now shows grid of colors without names

Who ever still wants me to release it for the Arrive can thank this post.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
I want 7.8 badly, but since the Arrive is my only phone I need the stability. I'll just have to wait until more stable builds get released.

Thanks for the offer though.
[HTC 7 Pro] sianto1997:
I don't know where you're talking about!

This rom is highly stable!
[HTC 7 Pro] Dinchy87:
i want it for the 7 pro european version not the arrive...
[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:
Really? Didn't realize it was so buggy...I guess not then...
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
I WANT IT!!! jejeje. :victory:

I know its buggy but having both links up shouldnt be bad... Just wanna play with the start screen, see what else is in there... Cant wait for a stable version of WP7.8 but I can definately salivate over this (custom) update!!! :silly:
[HTC 7 Pro] houdini13:
Loving the new rom so far. Seems very stable. Much appreciated.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
*Buggy 7.8 ROM crash lands*

So, I saw that someone had posted an Arrive version of the 7.8 ROM. I had this made earlier, so I'll post it anyways. It includes all the features of the latest 7.5 ROM, plus the 7.8 with bugs. :D

[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Thanks! Ill definately give it a try when I get home tonight. :victory:

If the "INSTABILITY" is thesame as the other one, it should be ok since I have not had any issues (with the exception of an issue with th USB driver) so... THANK YOU... again... jejeje

That thread is for sportsstar builds. He did put one out last night (see end of thread) but b40 should be considered a nightly and is buggy, prolly should try b39.

Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music playback (free version) and more (paid version).

Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research

More Info Here

Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!

I developed this originally on the Note and luckily it happened to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Now I've moved on to the SGSIII and it works just as well! Works best on the SGSIII, Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).

There are 4 basic gestures:

-Hover

-1 Wave

-2 Waves

-3 Waves

By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.

In the Pro version or upgraded free version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Screen Toggle On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Alt Play/Pause (for MX Video Player), and do nothing.

Popular uses are:

When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button

When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car

While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)

I'd like to see what you guys think of it. If you have any suggestions for new features or any feedback, I'd love to hear it.

Google Play Store Links:

Free Version

Pro Version

I just put out a new version, 2.0 that was developed on the SGSIII. It adds nifty action bar navigation and an upgrade store for the free version.

Here are some youtube videos of it in action (soon to be updated with the latest version and star the SGSIII ;) )

[YOUTUBE]TADv9s8f2S8[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]VCJwVgRkEBU[/YOUTUBE]

I've got threads open in the Note and Galaxy Nexus forums as well. I'm fine tuning features for these phones first then will push more publicly.

Coming Soon:

Widgets

Permissions Needed:

Wake Lock:	To work when the screen is off on some phones

Read Phone State:	To switch modes when phone is ringing or in-call

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dlads:
It's innovation like this which win's awards my friend.

What can the sensor actually pick up? I'm thinking minority report here :)

If swipe left and right can be mapped to a gesture and hover or a quick left right for select then you could look through your phone freehand.

Great idea m8.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meraklis56:
An Excelent idea.Very nice!

But can you tell us about battery consumption?

Unlocking,opening media player,pressing next is annoying.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spirit.of.resistance:
i test it now,it's ok,but why the app need all that permissions ?

Envoyé depuis mon Galaxy SIII
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Thanks :)

I wish I could detect direction. I tried using both the proximity sensor and the light sensor together but the light sensor was too slow and always fired after the proximity sensor so I couldn't interpret direction.

I want to use the front cam but will need some really efficient code (probably OpenCL) so it doesn't kill the battery.

It's about on the order of what the music player uses or a bit less. I do suggest exiting the app fully if you won't be using it for awhile. Running the sensor endlessly does use power. Not that much but some.

I listed them out in the details on the Play Store:
