I have upgraded(?) from 2.25 to this one 2.24. The 2.25 version was slow as hell. It also crashed when I ran a today screen module like prssreader, that was quite annoying too :)

This rom however is faaasssttt! I am using it for one day now and wow, I am impressed so far. Everything seems to work fine on my MDA. No crashes so far \o/ I keep you all updated if something strange happens!

Summiter keep up the good work! I also have a nice theme which you could maybe add to your package:

with the customized dialer of paulya it makes a fantastic match:

Report on the Update

The update has been generally successful on my SIM unlocked K-JAM. I downgraded the ROM to the custom non AU2 rom on this forum, ran lockiwiz02b and only selected "C" to unlock the CID and then applied "Test2" Rom. All versions as expected by Summiter all came up.

I have now loaded the following software to the device storage except where stated:

Microsoft Voice Command 1.5

Macromedia Flash 7

Magic Button

MemMaid - on storage card

HandyMenu - on storage card

Pharos Ostia - on storage card

Adobe Reader 2.0 - on storage card

Smartskey

nulkb

SBSHClock

Phone Redial

Tweaks2k2 - on storage card

AvantGo - on storage card

I had one problem immediately after the install and before any of the 3rd party apps were loaded. Using the soft key to bring up Calendar generates the following message:

"The file 'HTCCalendar' cannot be opened. Eitther it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."

The Calendar does sync up and I can open it with the menu. Both soft keys, however, generate this message. They (so far) do not appear to generate the message for anything else.

Selecting HandyMenu to open at start-up generates a similar message after a soft reset, however, setting MagicButton to open on start-up creates no problems. Neither of these were issues with the official i-mate AU2 rom running. I had HandyMenu on the storage card previously.

Finally, I cannot any longer install Real Player for PPC. When I try to load I get the message "Please install Microsoft active sync 3.1 or any later version before installing RealOne Player. You will need ActiveSync to connect your Pocket PC to your desktop. Please launch the RealOne Player again after installing ActiveSync". I have tried using two separate computers with MS ActiveSync 4.1 and 4.2 (Beta) respectively and both result in the same message. Again this app loaded perfectly under the official i-mate ROM. All of the other apps were loaded using ActiveSync 4.2, although because of a posting in this forum I used 4.1 to go through the ROM update process.

Can any one provide some thoughts on these several issues?

Many thanks.

Never mind, thanks for the help. I did a Kennedy (operator error). I ran Lokiwiz 0.3 rather than 0.2. If I had just looked at the danged output of the batch file, I would have seen that it did NOT do CID unlocking. Got the right version, ran it, upgraded it just fine.

Hey mengesb,

FWIW, I do not have any WiFi problems at all, it works great for me on a WRT54G, which it did for me before this ROM upgrade.

I do recall that on my last ROM upgrade, a few things didn't work, like the phone :) so I just re-ran the ROM upgrade and then everything worked.

Could be that some bits just didn't quite make it onto your phone.

So might I humbly suggest reflashing? Or did you already try that?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Mesh:
Didn't you make a mistake using the AM/PM system?

When you install the ROM it won't show the AM/PM signs in your calender or alarm, it just leaves the symbols blanc.

You can turn these on through: Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time > Set 'AM & PM symbol' to 'AM' and 'FM'.

Hope this helps?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:

Re: Battery meter problem

problem solved i installed like 10 different battery meters and none of them showed a drop in power but after running 5 programs and wifi and bluetooth at the same time the power meters started to show a drop i assume it just takes longer to drop from 100% which was weird but everything is great now.

THANKS Summiter GREAT ROM!!

Slightly off topic, but I am using the voice command available in the 2.3 ROM; That seems like the stock one with cingular. Alot of people seem to use MS Voice Command, Does that go through the address book and digitize everything?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dblake15:
The MS Voice Command is well worth the money. You then do not have to setup voice tags for everything like the one built into WM5.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
I've flashed the phone with both the TEST1 rom and the TEST2 rom, I'd doubt that both roms would have failed to copy, and both times I make absolutely sure that its completed. As far as your wifi, I'd suggest seeing if someone in your area has a pre-n router, and try connecting to that. It may be an issue, because I cannot connect to a pre-n router at all. My linksys srx100 works ... ok ... that's about all I can say about it. It seems that no one can give me an answer as to whether the radio version has anything to do with the wifi.

You have to select it from the list of options under the Today configuration. By default its not selected to be displayed.

bluetooth and active sync on this ROM

I am still unable to connect via bluetooth using active sync. I am able to with car and earpiece headset. There is NO CHOICE from active sync despite pairing. I am only given choice of WIRELESS STEREO.

Anyone understand what has changed in this ROM? I was able to before.

Also--there is only listed incoming port and no choice for outgoing port-perhaps that is a problem as well.

Is fdcsoft ppccontacts manager teh voice program?

Has anyone found it for less than 40?

I purchased MS Voice Command from Handango for $32 when they were having a 20% off everything sale but I doubt you'll get it cheaper than that.

Trust me it is well worth the $40 bucks and more.

Seems Rock-Solid so far

I downgraded to 1.xxx and unlocked according to Lockiwiz instructions. then I upgraded with Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST2.exe. I am using my Cingular8125 on Rogers in Canada, so I did not need the Cingular customizations so I flashed my extended rom with one that has no cingular customizations from another thread here.

I've been using my phone for more than six hours now and I love it. I had a few WiFi issues but it's working now. I'm typing from my 8125 ryt now.

One annoyance.... the softkey calendar issue.

2.24 Rom Questions

Hey Guys,

I've had great luck with the 2.24 rom so far. I had a few questions about some items I would like to fix/customize.

1) When you hit the Calendar Softkey you get the error The file 'HTCCalendar' cannot be opened. Any ideas? I looked through the registry but couldn't find anything.

2) Is there anyway to add the battery status back to the top bar?

3) Is there a way to put the "synchronization" status back in the top bar instead of the big E/G icon? I liked being able to see the fact that when I change a contact or send a message I could see the rotating arrows. It was a crude but useful troubleshooting tool for me.

Thanks for all of your time in packaging these new ROMS and answering questions on the forums. It truely makes the 8125 that much better.

I installed this rom as well, very good but i am going back to qtek 2.17 because of:

- htccalendar.exe error with left softkey

- strange fonts, times new roman in some screens

- unneccesary extra's (themes sounds etc, xpress mail)

But is it possible to get the date on one line with other roms? is this a registry setting?

Will switch back if the above problems are fixed
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lewcamino:
You should most likely try the Mr.Clean ROM. Its the latest build (AFAIK) plus its bare bones. It also has the cingular RADIO so signal strength is better but more importantly it acquires signal quickly.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 100Tbps:
1. You can load the test1 ROM which does not have the softkey program.

2. The font issue is cosmetic - there is nothing really wrong with the phone.

3. You can use the Cingular theme or the Windows default or try to make one of your town. You can also modify your Today items to not show xpress mail.

2.24 is much faster overall than 2.17. To jump back to 2.17 to avoid these cosmetic issues only brings you a slower interface. I think 2.24 is superior to 2.17.

That said, the Compact Framework was present in the 2.17 summiter build and is not present in the 2.24 build. That was handy for programs that require CF2 like WiFiFoFum2. That would be my only reason for downgrading but I'm going to look later today and I bet I can find and easily install the CF2 software which will moot the issue.

Update on my Update Issues

I notice that others have had the softkey calendar issue as well. Thanks to lotech for pointing me to ammar's tweak program to fix the problem. The problem seems to be that the program being called was HTCCalendar.exe when in fact the program was just Calendar.exe.

I have not been able to fix the HandyMenu issue, however, ammar's tweak problem gave me a workaround as it loads PHM TrayLaunch, which for some reason would not load from its own setup (the device reports that it is not a valid 32 bit program). I use PHM TrayLaunch to put the HandyMenu into the tray instead of ticking the box to do it within HandyMemu itself.

Can someone still help with Real Player install - as I reported it comes up with a ActiveSync error, but the same program will load perfectly on to my PDA2k using the same ActiveSync?

RE: Rock Solid..... not so much

Hi people!

I'm seriously getting frustrated. After a day playing around with the new ROM, I just realized how serious the WiFi issue is. When I made the first post, I was at my g/f house and I wasn't having any problems accessing the net. But this afternoon, I went back to my house and I could not connect to the router AT ALL.

The main difference between these two setups is:

1) a. At the g/f house, I use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

b. At my place I use a router

2) a. The WiFi card that shares the connection at my g/f house is a DLink 802.11g (specifically DLink Airplus G DWL-G120 Wireless USB)

b. At my place the router is a Dlink 802.11b (specifically DLink 614+)

3) a. The setup at the g/f house uses a 64-bit WEP key

b. At my place there is no security key (I use MAC filters, and wireless radio on the router is usually turned off)

Please note:

1) Before the upgrade, I had no problems connecting to the b-router at all! I actually had a few problems with the ICS setup

2) Both setups use DHCP

Please help!!!!!!! I bought this phone specifically for the WiFi, and my life depends on it.

T.I.A

Re: RE: Rock Solid..... not so much

To be honest with you, I think that there are a few users finding that their 8125 has WIFI issues, and they're simply going to take time to solve. I haven't gotten an answer as to whether or not it is a 'radio' stack problem, but I can tell you this, there is a radio forum out there by kyphur that has the 2.17, t-mo 2.25, and cingular 2.25 radio stacks for solo installation (note - this does not modify your rom, only the radio). Some users have different experiences with different radio versions, so you may wish to try one of these. TEST2 contains the cingular 2.25 radio version, which I still have the same issues with belkin pre-n routers - just can't connect to it.

That's about all I can say on that topic. Perhaps you may wish to go back to the stock 1.8.11 WWE rom until there's an official cingular AKU release that's non-beta. We here at XDA live life on the edge... with or without that damn E symbol =)

Hey Summiter....this has to be the best rom yet....the last cingular 2.25 rom was ok but battery drained faster than anything....this one isn't as bad with battery drainage

also Wifi connects faster than I can blink

No memory leaks

Programs respond and function quickly

Gprs connects easily and I sign onto Agile Messenger faster

Bootup time is lightning quick

best of all....I HAVE NOT HAD to SOFT RESET my phone for days....usually i'd have to soft reset my phone from being frozen at least 2 times a day(plus I am running WIsbar advance!)

Thanks!
