after a week or so with the TEST1 Rom, my phone does not notify me about missed calls, or that I have voicemail.. going to TEST2 and hopefully that will work..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
The contrasting posts about this ROM truly amazes me..

When you say it "sucks too much battery power", what do you mean? What's your battery life experience specifically, and what software do you have installed? Any apps being run off mSD card by chance?

As for crashes, how does it crash? What error is displayed?

ok ive been running this for about a week now and here are the problems consitently plaguing this ROM.

- no wifi. no if ands or buts. nothing.

- calls hang up after 4 minutes or so. always. then EDGE turns off and the icon changes to the phone reception icon butttt, i lose all phone service for a minute.. then I can place calls. please tell me there is a fix for this. perhaps I should set up my EDGE/wireless connections differently?

EDIT: about the EDGE connection.. theres is always a big E then above where there it shows the phone reception there is a little E. when I make phone calls, the E aboe the reception icon changes to the standard network reception icon. wtf. i have cingular by the way. any help would be appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
I kick myself every time I reply to posts that list problems but provides no detail regarding setup.

Anyway, here's a few things that would be helpful in err helping:

What brand/model AP(s) are you trying to connect to?

What encryption are you using?

What third party apps do you have installed?

Are you using the ROM ending in test1 or test2?

Did you let all the customizations run, or did you bypass them?

Re: answer to possible wifi issue question..

To the best of my knowledge the phone is G compatable, but it doesn't set it to G only... and it wouldn't explain why a Pre-N router wouldn't work. Only closest explanation I may have is the fact that the stack on a 802.11n router is slightly different, causing issues - but it connected before; still kinda confused.

Best Rom Yet

I was holding off from upgrading to this rom from 2.17 because it was almost working well for me. Only one reset per day. The only thing I found annoying was how slow it was and slightly buggy. The reset once a day was caused by a netwoking problem. If phone service was lost or I used wifi at anytime during the day the gprs data connection would not work afterwards. A reset would quickly fix it though. This rom doesn't even require overclocking. I reloaded all my programs and nothing bad has happened. I have been running it for 2 days now. I have not had any of the problems people list on this thread. My battery usage is the same and wifi is better/faster to connect now. Furthermore I don't get the gprs networking error I was having previously with the 2.17 rom either. I use my phone extensively as follows;

1. Ebooks - I read for 3 hours on this device and still have plenty of battery life left.

2. Conference calls - had a 1h 45m call with this rom and plenty of battery life left.

3. Wifi setup was very quick and painless.

4. Obsessed Sudoku and Othello player. At least 2 hours a day.

5. Cingular expressmail push email.

Thanks, this ROM makes the device finally bearable to use for business. Now if someone would only create a SMS program with message threading (chat style) and exporting capability I would have a complete history of my day.

Hi, I can say for the most part that the new rom (ending in TEST2) is working fairly well. I can't say that it "feels" as nice as 2.17, but I've had no major hangups other than it isn't as snappy.

(Running all customizations).

Outside of the rom, my only complaint is the Soft Key software. Buggy as hell. As others have noted, the some of the mappings including calendar to "HTCCalendar.exe" instead of "Calendar.exe" are incorrect. Also when I look at the Soft Key icon under settings, it's all corrupt/jumpled. Also, I run my own task manager so if there was anyway to blow away the one included, that would be great (tried uninstalling it via remove programs, but it still remains).

I am running some additional software:

MS Voice Command 1.5

SPB Pocket Plus 3.1.1 (Just use task manager and battery meter -- everything else is turned off).

SPB Weather 1.5

MemMaid 1.6

TCPMP 0.72RC1

Total Commander 2.0

However, I've noticed the sluggishness even before installing any software. When running the same load on 2.17 (with even more software) it seemed to run much better.

Radio seems ok and WI-FI works fine (I use a D-Link DI-624 AP, shared authentication, 64Bit WEP).

Thanks,

I have the same problems with the Soft Key app.

I use a program called SmartSKey for this phone. It's a perfect fit; makes the phone really usable (hold down left soft key for Start Menu, hold down left for Close button, Up arrow in phone app opens Speed Dial, Down arrow opens recent calls).

No major problems with the TEST2 rom. Maybe I'm not a good tester?

The network default settings are very different with this ROM than with others. I'll provide if anyone requests...

Works Great!

Summiter-

I have used about every ROM that you have made, and this one is BY FAR the best.

*WiFi connects better than ever

*Feels much more responsive overall - 10x better than 2.25

*Switching from TEST to TEST2 seems to have greatly improved reception.

Thank You!!!!!!

Hey summiter. thanks for your response. Here are some of my answers.

I'm running a Cingular HTC wizard. Trying to connect to a linksys wrt54g (which used to work on older ROMS). The third party apps that I run are Agile Messenger, WeatherPanel, and NewsPanel. The ROM is TEST2. As far as the customizations, how would I know if I bypassed them or not? I think I ran it, I have the softkey program with the calender error, all the OMAP programs uder programs... etc.

Thanks for your help

Re: Works Great!

Ive been using 2.25 and have been quite impressed. so does this beta actually feel better perfomance wise than the 2.25 vanilla? I havent really had probs with 2.25.. Is there going to be an official cingular release anytime soon? Summiter are you still working on these test builds or are you waiting for another release?

also i know this has been mentioned.. but with my 2.25 rom, occasionally it connects to edge by itself.. i still dont know if this is cause im accidentally hitting something while its in my pocket.(i lock it thought everytime i put it away and sometimes it still connects)..

suggestions?

2.24 Runnin' fine... but wondering about 802.11g

Greetings everyone...

Just thought I would finally actually post to this forum and say that this ROM has been super-smoothe for me in almost every way. GSM, BT, W-Fi all working fine.

Just one question to anyone who knows... is enabling 802.11g part of this ROM?

I tried to search but didn't find a post that specifically mentions if that is one of the included "tweaks" in this ROM.

-Thanks to all.

ok, I got the TEST2 Rom on my Cingular 8125 now, stock rom loaded with nothing else loaded...

The radio reception is better, but now it seems to take 10-12 rings for my phone to start ringing.. my GF called me earlier and she said it rang 12 times before I picked up, it only rang once here to me.. not sure if this is a ROM thing, or a carrier thing, shes on Cingular as well, but in Miami (500 miles away) on a business trip.. before using TEST1 Rom, the phone wouldn't ring, and would not notify me of voicemails..

Re: answer to possible wifi issue question..

Correction... Everytime I switch back and forth, I have to delete all saved Wirelesss connections for it to connect to the ICS setup. Otherwise, it keeps trying and skipping the right connection.

BTW, I havent reset my phone in two days. YAY!!! :D

Summiter, do you have anything to say about these wireless issues. the only change I made was use Faria's extended ROM which has not Cingular Customizations.

Just upgraded to the new ROM and everything is working great.

Recently though my phone stopped receiving the DirectPush e-mail, but only through the GPRS. If I am connect via Activesync or Wi-Fi it syncs fine with the Exchange Server.

Any thoughts?

BTW I am using Mail2Web.

Thanks!

for you and others having sudden problems with mail2web and the new rom, try disabling "requires ssl" in your activesync settings on the phone. this solved all mail2web issues for me.

i seem to have a dropped call issue mentioned by many here, but i haven't decided if it's just a drop in quality (i had a nokia 6682 with flawless reception) or a problem in the 8125. i've never run the original rom (upgraded 10 2.17 the day i got it, and now to this rom) so i can't say what's normal and what's not...

Problems

I installed AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST2

Difficult to pinpoint why, but this build is problematic for me. Looking forward to something newer.

Will someone please confirm that these numbers are correct?

OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)

ROM 2.24.10.1 WWE

date 4/17/06

Radio 02.25.11

Protocol 4.1.13.12

ExtROM 2.25.11.102

Problems include:

Clock often 1 hour off

Default network settings wrong - not certain how to config

Bluetooth connect probs (maybe my BT batt died)

Messaging Button (still) displays "empty" e-mail window

Summiter, I really appreciate all the work you're putting into this. I think you're the best.

I'm not complaining, but I want to be part of the community and give open feedback.

I'll back down to last version - 217_AKU22_Basic - until something newer comes out. Anything you want me to try for you, just let me know.

Re: Problems

Most are documented in the forums here. 10 minutes time will not just help you solve this, you'll absorb other important information, too. You should read through the entire thread in which you just posted so you're not back in complaining the softkey app is broken and your battery drains when you run programs on your SD card, too.

The first issue is described at length in this thread and even in others. You need to uncheck a box in the timezone tab (in the phone options) which is currently checked by default and this will stop.

The second issue - my stuff works fine, but I'm on Cingular, have the unlimited PDA plan, and don't need a proxy. You have no details about why it's not right for you, but if your setup is the same as mine, you're fine. If not, please explain further.

The third issue: you shouldn't report something like this until you truly believe it's an issue. And if you do, describe what isn't working so we can try to help.

The fourth issue - change your button mapping. I believe Summiter maps the overclock to this button for an easy speed boost. The 2.24 ROM probably doesn't even need this. I changed mine and pressing the button scrolls the top left corner through Outlook, gmail (I set this up), MMS, and text messages. The bottom left button takes on a "new" option so I can compose a message.

I just re-read this and I think I sound bit snippy, but I also feel before you risk bricking your $300 phone - you should read a bit more about what you're doing to it. Trust me, it's worth the time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Phoney:
Re: Problems

I spent a lot of time reading this thread. And I don't mean to complain.

Previously, it was reported that the Cingular phones have a problem displaying the timezone correctly, b/c of issues with DST software in some of their towers, but that problem is cosmetic only (phone reports wrong timezone but correct time, so as long as you know what timezone you're in...). But with this build, the time is wrong. I suppose it's true, if the phone network doesn't set the time, the problem might go away, except that I like having a cell phone that has a very accurate clock, and I like having the phone display the correct tiem when I fly.

In earlier versions of Summiter's roms, at least, when I checked the Messaging button mapping, it was correct. But still, about half the time I tap the Messaging softkey, I get a Messaging app with a "transparent" window. Launching Messaging from the touchscreen never does this. I could install Total Commander and check the registry values, if you want. I saw other users report this, I thought it was well-known that his roms have this minor bug.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: Problems

RE: the messaging button issue - I personally map one of the hardware buttons to OmapClock, but I didn't do that by default in the ROM. I've never had a probblem with the messaging button functioning, but I've seen it reported several times. I'd have to go back and search on the issue, but from what I can tell it's related to a third party app. I think I recall it being an SPB app but I don't recall which one atm.

What third party apps do you ahve installed?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Phoney:
Re: Problems

Only SmartSKey. I had SPB PocketPlus, but not when I tried your 2.25 (which exhibited the bug) nor with my current 2.17 installation.

I've downgraded to your 2.17 ROM; it's been there 2 hours and the bug hasn't shown up yet. UPDATE: I got the bug to happen.

When I set up Messaging, I have MMS, text Messages, my POP e-mail account, and Outlook email (which is empty).

One possibility is that I set up messaging to check my POP server every 15 minutes. It could be that pressing the Messaging button in the middle of a send/receive causes the problem. I can't duplicate it at the moment - it's one of those "It burns my fingers when I touch that button, so I don't touch that button." It *only* happens from the button, never when I launch Messaging from the Start Menu or the Today screen. Weird. Why Me?

Since you're interested, I'll try to track it down. I'll upgrade back to 2.25 if you want, let me know.

Installed a few minutes ago. Everything seems ok 'till now.

Since i'm on a different Network i cancelled the Ext_rom installation on first boot (to avoid installing Cingular settings).

Now, i will install by hand only those cabs (in the ext rom) i really need.

I'd just like to know: what are the three files: ConfigureUI.exe AddContacts.exe and ConfigureDevice.exe i found in the ext_rom folder???

Reading the Config.txt i saw they're executed at the end of the cabs' installation.

Do i need to run them even if i don't need Cingular customization???

On a unrelated note, is anyone having trouble getting activesync over bluetooth running. No matter how many times I try tweaking the discoverable services, activesync just won't show up as an available service.

The ones that are available are:

wireless stereo

For some reason, I seem to have difficulties holding a signal with this ROM. I am seeing it searching for a signal all of the time now. For troubleshooting, I went back to the problem-free 2.25 modified ROM and my signal is rock solid. I then put on the AKU 2.3 ROM and I can't seem to hold a signal more than about 15 minutes before it starts searching for a signal. Could this be a T-Mobile issue (since it is a TMobile-based ROM)?

I'll have to go back to the last ROM (2.25+mods) since it appears to be much more stable for me...

Re: Problems

The symptoms appear as the clock changing - not just the time zone. The Eastern time zone became the Indiana time zone and the clock shifted by an hour. This also adjusted all my appts. When I installed this ROM, I selected Eastern and sometime in the next few minutes it changed to Indiana. The clock shifted, but when I unclicked the timezone box and changed the timezone back to the right one, my meetings were still hosed by an hour because it thought I was homed into Indiana and was manually changing to Eastern as though I was visiting. I had to keep messing with it and changing some appts on my pc, but eventually it stuck - the meetings now show the right time, the timezone is correct, and the settings survive a reboot (and the timezone box is unchecked). Perhaps double check your settings to make sure it's what it's supposed to be.

I pop gmail every 10 minutes and don't seem to have this problem. I also have very few third party apps installed and none installed via the SD card.

2.24 is the best ROM available right now. I installed the test1 image and manually upgraded the GSM image to the Cingular radio just hours before the test2 ROM became available. I haven't tried the test2 image because everything seems to be working for me.

I was totally wrong about summiter's default for the messaging button, but I do know for sure I've had to change the button in the button mapping to messaging because it's always been something else.
