[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Updated to TuMa v1.3 ... all in the quest for perfection!

Apologies for the "fast" update to the previous ROM, but there were a number of things which DID need fixing and improving, especially the filesystem bug, and I believe I've accomplished that now.

All of the bugs and issues which were mentioned in the TuMa v1.1 thread (I believe) have been addressed - except for the BlueTooth disconnect issue. However, I have news directly from mamaich, that he is looking into the BT issue, and will hopefully have a solution soon.

The BIGGEST and BEST news is that my Phone RINGS after 1 RING now!

Although for this to work it is REQUIRED that you use a WAV file for your RingTone. Converting any MP3, WMA, or whatever into a WAV is a simple exercise - but it just uses a LOT of storage space. I've made a new "LoudOldPhone.wav" file, and set it as the default ring in this ROM. Test it out first and let me know your results. :D

TuMa v1.3 removes the LoudOldPhone.wav, and has all the standard Ring Tones converted to WAV format appropriately, so that ALL default rings will RING the phone quickly.

NOTE: The WAV file RULE applies for all NOTIFICATION sounds as well. Ensure that you choose only WAV files for these elements, and you'll have a snappy Blue Angel!

TuMa v1.2 (Wizard Port) Features:

- Originally based on the Wizard Port by mamaich

- OS and Application extracted from Himalaya, Jasjar, Wizard, and other ROMs

- Core Applications entirely contained in the ROM - Additional CABs not required

- EXTROM is now available again! You can repartition the EXTROM as you wish

- Quantum Timing (Thread Switching) set to 25ms timeslice (performance boost)

- Filesystem Performance improved (maximized), while still retaining reliability

- Notification and Phone Ring Time Improved (MUST USE xxx.WAV FILES!!!)

- Numerous other OS Level Performance Tweaks and Improvements made

- Useful Applications added to Startup Folder (easily disabled)

- So you can easily add whatever you want to this "base" ROM

TuMa v1.3 (Wizard Port) Features:

- Fixed Voice Command Registry Bug. Now you can remap the button as desired without registry hacking.

- Converted all Standard/Default Ring Tones to be WAV files for FAST Ring Times (with maximum volume)

- Fixed the Arcsoft MMS CABs to put the media files into the correct/best folders (avoid Ringtone issues, etc.)

- Fixed the HTC Camera CABs to NOT reset the MMS Manager DLL Entries if a different MMS Manager is used in future

- Added the RamDisk version of the Camera CAB for those who want to use it (must edit your EXTROM)

- Removed the Waterfall.jpg, and Flower.jpg default images, since I ran out of space in the ROM :roll:

- Fixed a Spelling and Versioning mistake in the v1.2 ROM :oops:

- Updated the readme.txt in the TuMa v1.3 ZIP file ...

There are presently 3 optional CAB files. During installation you may simply CANCEL the installation of the CAB file, and not have the feature installed.

i.e. Users with a SX66 will NOT want to install the HTC Camera application.

* MidletManager-TuMa.cab	- Installs the Java Midlet Manager

* ArcsoftMMS-TuMa.cab	- Installs the Arcsoft MMS Composer (NOTE: You must create an account)

* HTC Camera-TuMa.cab	- Installs the HTC Camera and updates MMS for Camera operation on device

TuMa v1.3 adds:

* HTC Camera-TuMa-RamDisk.cab	- Installs the HTC Camera and updates MMS for Camera operation on "Temp Disk"

Camera users will want to CHOOSE which Camera CAB they use. You can either rename the CAB file to be the same (without the "-RamDisk") or change the "Cfg.txt" configuration file to suit your choice.

I've included FULL installation instructions, and the "BaUpgradeUt.exe" and support files into the ZIP file. Please read the "readme.txt" file for full upgrading instructions. There is a SetOperator.bat file included in the ZIP which will make setting the Operator ID a "piece of cake" now. 8)

The EXTROM files are unchanged from TuMa v1.1 for those who are upgrading to v1.2.

The EXTROM files are different for TuMa v1.3. Use the new ones for best results. 8)

FYI: For anyone providing feedback, I will be leaving for Germany (from New Zealand) on Sunday, so I'll only have until then to respond and/or make any updates/patches or corrections. Hopefully there won't be any!
