mezozoy,

I think I'm noticing the same thing on mine. Granted, it's only been installed for about 14 hours so far...but it'll get some good use over the next couple of days and I'll report back. (I'm on cingular btw)

A picture is worth a thousand words. :D

Could anyone post a screen shot of this? I'm curious if the battery is smashed into the top row with the little Es, Gs, towers, and time or if it's back into the Today screen somewhere.

Did Microsoft reverse course on this and put things back where they were or could this be something different about where the files are originating (QTEK vs T-Mobile)?

If anyone wants to post the now-needing-altering files I can work do Photoshopping and post them back here. Actually, I have an old Calvin image I thought might be cool to hack into to some of the more plain themes. I added this into my iPaq years ago and blended roughly 50% so it was easy read text over it.

I'll try to post this showing the picture - hopefully this won't across as something which may need downloading.

I just logged on for the first time in days to hopefully find a new rom and leave it to Summiter, he comes through.

This weekend 2.25 just went off the deep end with problems and it was when I needed it to work right the most.

I will be getting this rom as soon as I get home tonight.

Thanks

It's a lifetime event, you shouldn't have any problems. Worst case scenario is you'll have to obtain your SIM unlock code using lokiwiz 0.3a.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jeffreycentex:
OK, I got some success by the following:

1. I reinstalled the previous 2.25 beta ROM from Cingular. I then ran AWizard and extracted the radio ROM only (perfect 4 bar signal strength).

2. I then re-installed summiters 2.24 ROM from this thread and canceled customizations - note that I still have radio problems with it always searching for signal.

3. I then ran AWIZARD and restored the Cingular version of the Radio ROM, hard reset and let the customizations run.

Finally, I have no signal problems! :) There was something very screwy in the T-Mobile version of the 2.25... radio ROM...

extended rom without cingular stuff

updated the extended rom ,there was a bug in the first versiondownload here; ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Extended Roms/wizard-aku2.3-EXTENDED-ROM-FOR NON-CINGULAR-USERS.zip

ALLO GUYS;

Here it is the extended-rom without any of Cingular settings.

This is a proper extended-rom .nbf is not a folder containing the files

To install unzip the folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe

You will not lose any setting that you have in your rom. It simply updates the extended-rom.

when’d you decide to hard reset you device again the extended rom will load automatically as in the official rom , there it is .no Cingular stuff .

regards;

Re: extended rom without cingular stuff

Hi Faria, thank you very much for your work!

[BTW, i didn't know it was possible to modify/flash only the extrom part, i thought a new complete rom (ext-rom+radio+OS) was needed].

Now we need a new boot screen (cingular's one is HORRIBLE).

Thanks again,

Text Messaging Timestamp is WAAAYYY Offf

Hey guys,

I dunno if any of you are having this problem, but my time stamp on my messages received are off by an average of 1 hour from the current time when I receive the message!!!

I have the right time zone selected and i disabled automatic time zone change, as well. I also installed a cab file that has all the tmobile MMS/text/network settings, and they work too, cuz I have used them with other rom versions???

Not a big deal but its annoying as hell!!! Any suggestions???

P.S. Thanks for another excellent addition summiter......

Re: extended rom without cingular stuff

I have a PROBLEM with your ext-rom.

This is what i've done so far:

- updated my ext-rom

- hard resetted my phone

- let the extrom installation procedure run on the first boot

The Problem: installation of ext-rom's cabs goes well until it reach the last cab: wm5storage.cab. Then it hangs. Just before hanging, the phone emits a short sound, the sound you usually hear when you get a notification but no visible notification appears on screen.

What i think: i think the ext-rom installation hangs because wm5storage.cab is not signed so when the installer reach this file it ask the user whether he wants to install it or not. Unluckily the user cannot answer the question since the UI is locked during ext-rom installation.

Solution: wm5storage.cab must be signed or removed from ext-rom

Bye

EDIT: i found a second problem: my ext rom is completely fuc*ed up! when i open the ext-rom folder with total commander (both pc and ppc editions) i can see all the cabs plus a lot of junk. With junk i mean a lot of folders and files with unreadable names and impossible to open. Last time i saw such a mess in my extended_rom folder was when i installed and ran buzz's ext-rom unlocker for aku2.x (the unlocker didn't work in my rom as u may easily imagine).

Can you upload the radio ROM somewhere?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Stangs55:
I've got a recent problem, but I don't think it's specific this ROM.

I originally unlocked my phone then went from stock to 2.17 to 2.2 to 2.17 to 2.3 in that order. The problem is that starting with rom 2.17 my battery meter no longer showed proper drain...it just displays 100% all the time. It's still doing this now with 2.3.

Did I do something wrong along the way? Did I not unlock properly (used loki 0.2b)? Should I have converted back to an older rom before upgrading? And how do I fix it now?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fgro:
Thats weird, after upgrading to the TEST ROM from 2.2.5 to 2.3 i got a worse signal strength. Can someone confirm that?

EDIT: It searched continuously for any signal ... :( the ROM before didnt had that issue...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 100Tbps:
I see the same thing. I'm still on 2.17 and it's always been this way since I upgraded. It will stay 100% for several hours - especially if the phone is in standby (and even with my phone popping gmail every 10 minutes and bluetooth active).

After a while, the battery will begin showing signs of dropping and somewhere in the vicinity of 50% (give or take) the icon in the top bar will show only half remaining. I've never actually run the phone all the way down so I don't know what happens below 30% or 40%.

I suspect the newer software isn't very accurate, but I'd be curious to hear from those who have third party battery meters installed to see how different (if at all) reports vary from the native battery meter.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Stangs55:
1. I definitely have worse signal strength. In fact i'm finding that it's bad enough and I end up searching for signal so much that I'll probably go back to 2.17 tonight...which sucks b/c everything else about this rom is better/faster to me. :( I'm getting 2 bars in places where I normally get 4.

2. I'm using the battery meter that is packaged with spb pocket plus and it too reports 100%.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fgro:
Well thanks for confirm the issue ... i dont know whats wrong with the 2.3 Radio but I might go back to 2.25... :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kltye:
The battery meter in those ROMs only show 100%, <60%, and low battery. Other battery meters usually report accurate battery percentage levels.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fgro:
What else i noticed ...

when i sync my emails over exchange server the spinning arrows are missing during the entire process... by the way the second "E" or "G" are really stupid beside you have one next to the signal strength ... So i dont know when my device is syncing to the exchange server and maybe pulls up a new mail ... Or is there an hidden option i have to activate that????? Dont think so ...

EDIT: Well ... i went back to the qtek ROM and ill wait til cingular had brought a stable good working ROM without any issues to the signal or exchange...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DavidT.:
I thought most 3rd party battery meters are basically piggy backs to the ROM meter, meaning they get their information from the same place the ROM battery meter gets its information...which in turn would just give you the same information.

Works pretty good for me.

Thanks for creating this rom and thanks for instructions. I am new to this and it was all very easy to do. My 8125 now starts about twice as quickly. I can also report that the whole pda side of this thing is much more responsive. I have noticed no signal issues yet but have not gotten out with it much.

The only issue I notice is that the time zone keeps changing on me. I am in the central us and the time zone randomly changes to saskatchewan-a place I have always wanted to visit but have not yet had the chance. When it does that, the time changes one hour and all my appointments change time, of course. It is easy to change back to central time but it is an annoyance. However, the rest of the thing works so much better than the standard issue rom that I am not going back.

Thanks again for doing this.

WARNING!!!!!

to all the non-cingular users...

After I flashed the new rom I set up my e-mail account to receive e-mail every 20 min...

However, by default, this rom connects by CSD calls to USA...

I was charged more than 40pounds for international calls in an afternoon...

the phone wakes up every 20min and it connects to the inet using the number 0014152441012!!!!

Imagine if I realized that after a few days and not after a few hours...

I have the 590's and they established themselves as handsfree and wireless stereo with this rom. Did you let the install go thru the custom setup? I did... maybe it's required to setup the A2DP?

I did not touch the device when it installed the ROM. After I did the basic setup I unplug the USB cable and I can see it install the custom CABs. Then it reboots itself.

How does the new ROM work with the 590. Does everything work perfectly like pause and start etc...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] saeba:
Seems to... Tried pause/play, skip to next song and skip to start/prev song. Just got these so don't have a lot of play time on them. They do use alot of CPU though... can't really watch video with them.

how do you apply this radio rom,

Hello, just wondering do you just run th upgrader program, and if so does it wipe out the rest of my programs and settings, or does it just update the radio rom? looks the same as when I upgrade the whole phone rom. says it will take ten minutes. Please advise, I really don't want to re-install everything.

Or would I be better off installing your latest rom anyway, which includes this radio rom.. I keep losing calls, and my signal strength is lousy, and according to Cingular, I live in a heavy coverage area.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong and it has nothing to do with this rom, but this is the first rom in which I don't get an SMS sent notification.

I searched through all the settings, but can't seem to locate anything in regards to the notification... so I assume it's built into the messaging program. Am I missing something, or did this rom change something?

Re: extended rom without cingular stuff

In my first rom (k-jam 2.18 ITA) i had 3 bootscreens displayed in the following order: htc, i-mate and then win mobile.

Now i'd really like just two of them: HTC and winMobile (or only WinMobile if possible). Can you make this or point me to the tool/thread i must use/read??? Thanks!

Also: may i create a ROM with: OS 2.18 Italian; Radio 2.25 cingular; Customized ext-rom??? And if it is possible, then which IPL/SPL should i use: IPL/SPL 2.24 (from the rom in this thread) or 2.18 (from the i-mate rom)?

I have CINGULAR 8125 purchased last december and upgraded to Summiters 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM 2/10/06 RADIO 02.07.10 PROTOCOL 413.1.03

Protocol version: 4.0.12.23

ExtROM version: 1.6.2.105

To urologyhealth and others

As far as I know you only need to CID UNLOCK ONCE, the proof is I my 2 wizards ,for instances ,I have flashed one my wizards more than 100 times 12 times alone yesterday .using all kinds of roms and that is upgrading/downgrading from any rom and I have not had any problems since I CID UNLOCKED using my tutorial ,it was done when I had rom version 2.17 ,neither had I any trouble downgrading to cid unlock.

MY guess is [to people that say that the wizard becomes cid locked after installing certain roms] is this one; your wizard was probably never CID UNLOKED properly ,and the reason that you have in the past managed to install noon official roms like summiteers versions is that you were using the [ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe] that came with the rom ,and it was possible to flash only because the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe bypass the country id error but newer roms need to be cid unlocked in order to install. Too be sure if you wizard is cid unlocked try this ,flash your device with another operator official rom other than your operator [summiteers roms wont do ,I has to be a official not patched rom from another operator] if the upgrade/downgrade goes thru with no problems/error then your device is unlocked ,if it does not , then your phone still cid locked!!! So if your wizard came from vodafone use an 02 rom to find out and vice versa.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

To gooshy

First you should cid unlock before doing anything using the lokiwiz tool, then flash the new rom .as for how does my extended-rom fixes the problem of the guy with the £40 bill is simple;Is phone was dialling out to get is email and because he installed the default extended-rom he has all the Cingular gprs/dialup settings to access email/web ,so is device was using the American settings to dial out from the uk to get is mail. since I have remove such settings from my extended-rom , there is no danger of any bills .

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

To jappetto

Upgrading only the radio or the splash and extended-rom will not wipe any setting from you device. It only updates the respective part that you are flashing.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

to risidoro

Yes you can mix and match all the rom parts into 1 one ,but they have to be the same OS +ipl/spl version to avoid problems, I your case I would use ; OS 2.18 Italian+2.18 ipl/spl from the i-mate rom and the radio version that you posted, do not mix parts of the roms version 1xxx to 2xxx or vice versa ,it has to be OS 2xxx+radio 2xxx+ipl/spl 2xxx and extended rom from 2xxx roms and so on ….

hope this answers it some of you questions..
