Apologies, I've been AFK for a few days dealing with real life - horrible thing it is too.

The rom, ramdisk cab and a list of Registry modifications are now uploading to /uploads/for_midget_1990.

[EDIT] all files uploaded at 20:07 BST

Procedure is -

- replace the Ivan v4R3 nk.nbf with the one included

- flash, align screen etc

- install the ramdisk32 cab

- modify the registry keys as shown in reg_keys.txt

- power off, then power on to cement all reg changes

- reboot

The above config has been running on my Qtek 9090 for the last week with some pretty heavy use and it's still performing nicely with no sign of the slowdown that Ivans ROM normally suffers from after prolonged use.

Midget_1990 - if you can munge these files together into a proper release, that would be fantastic. Meanwhile I'll try to find some info on doing it myself. I'm not far off it, I just can't find much info on how to edit the registry files inside the ROM. I'm sure the info is out there if I look hard enough.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
depending on how busy i am in the next few days i will try and make this into a proper flashable rom, however i am also working on upgrading Ivans rom anyway so I will definatly produce a version with the ramdisk as well as normal with future releases.

Thanks for your reaserch etc.

I was using logouts latest and it was very slow once you got a few things running on it and when enabling the wifi.

I just downloaded and installed ivans again using this method and also overclocking to 530mhz. Seems to be doing very well. i will test and report more as the week goes on.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] thingonaspring:
HI all

Willpower102 - Agreed - overclocking to 530 is definitely the ideal for any wm5 rom.

I've made some progress on modding the ROM last night. I'm just having trouble finding the Internet Explorer cache directory entry in the ROM's registry files. Once I've cracked that, I'll be ready to release a flash-and-go version.

Now that I'm able to build my own ROMs, I've also been experimenting with the atihwtbl0.txt file in the \windows dir. You can see some tasty looking timing variables in there - not least the CAS timing for RAM. More on that later when I've tested it properly.

Also, I found a more up-to-date version of ace_ddi.dll a while ago and will try to include that too. I've benchmarked it with GXMark, and it's definitely faster. Original dll gets 1750 gxmarks, new one gets 1850. I've even managed 2000 gxmarks but that has been hard to reproduce. (all figures produced at 530mhz)

Lastly I can say that now I've got my hands dirty with the ROM-building tools, my respect for Tuatara, Mamaich, Buzz_Lightyear, Ivan, Midget_1990, Logout, Art, and the whole ROM-building crowd has only increased. It's a slow and fiddly process, so more than ever respect to the people who are making this possible.

rom building

Thingonaspring: mad props for all your effort!!!! I would like to educate myself and start the rom building process aswell. Before I even try to attempt this I guess I have to do a lot of research and reading (but its all worth it). I would be most grateful if you could tell me where you got your info from.....and any links would be greatly appreciated.

Hats off once again for all your hard work :P
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
the best advice i can give is read the entire wiki, including every device, twice. This will get you the background knowledge about how these devices work etc, then PM someone who currrently makes ROMs and ask (nicely) if they would mind sending you the BA ROM toolkit and if your really nice they might also explain how to use it :P

Good luck!

[EDIT] Found the cause - nasty lil control-code gremlins on the end of each line. Stripped the file down to ascii codes only, edited, saved as unicode and everything works.

Serious help needed here

I am attempting to rebuild default.rgu and user.rgu into default.hv and user.hv using rgucomp.

I am doing the following :-

SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.

rgucomp -o dump\default.hv -nologo > default.txt

edit in wordpad (also tried notepad), add REGEDIT4, ensure final line is just a <CR>,

save as text with unicode encoding

When I rename default.txt to boot.rgu and do :-

rgucomp -b

I get an error :=

Failed to parse HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xslfile!!!

I've tried many different approaches with both default.hv and user.hv.. Always ending up with very simillar results. Usually a parse error on or close to the first line.

Can anyone help with this? I've read everything, not just on this site, but on buzzdev and a ton of weird japanese/chinese forums (no idea which, just lots of kanji characters).

It's really annoying as I only have limited time to work on this, and it's soo close.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] logout:
Try this:

Rename default.rgu to boot.rgu

Fix it

I was running SPB Software on the unit without the ramdisk and I tested the software with SBSH Software on it to find that the software you install can make a slight difference.

However, the unit seems to really get a boost in speed. I love the improvements the 32 RAMDISK does to the unit. I have had no issues with the unit since the upgrade.

I was wondering how everyone was doing with the bluetooth fix though. How has the quality been since the major changes that has been done over the past month now. There hasn't been many complaints about the bluetooth but was wondering about quality and if there has been any disconnect issues. I haven't used my bluetooth ear piece long enough to really know.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] baeshin81:
Also how has everyone's battery life been. I noticed that the software has some major drainage on the phones battery. I usually don't notice much due to the v3 extended lion battery but how about the oem battery?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] keano:
Speed is unbelieveable with ramdisk on ivan's v4r3.

Problem is programs installed after the ramdisk mod don't show up on the "remove programs" list, thus can't un-install.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
I myself am stuck with the registry too, due to the fact that the programs in the toolkit to do it are 16bit and not compatable with my 64bit version of windows...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] thingonaspring:
OK, the ROM is finally ready.

Here :-

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blue Angel/IvanV4R3_Ramdisk32.zip

It includes a tweak to CAS timings (1clk instead of 2clk) and an updated ace_ddi.dll display driver. Both should improve speed, but do note that the CAS tweak means that overclocking to 590mhz, which was always pretty unstable, will now cause the device to hang. Overclocking to 530 works fine in my tests.

There's still plenty more I can try to gain a bit more speed, not least the rest of the timings in the atihwtbl0.txt file, and perhaps mounting the RAMDisk as early as possible will allow more parts of the OS to store volatile data in RAM.

If/when I come up with an updated version, I'll post it hereabouts.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] thingonaspring:
Baeshin81 - I left my phone on standby last night with 100% battery at 2AM when I finally crawled into bed.

On reaching work the next day 9:15AM, the phone had used just 3% battery power.

So in short - battery seems fine. Do note that I've got an expanded 2450mah battery, not the stock one.

Keano - I too notice the remove programs problem after installing the buzzlightyear ramdisk cab. The new ROM does not use this method, I've basically stolen Logout's approach to ramdisk instead, so the add/remove problem is no longer present.

Midget_1990 - have you tried a DOS emulator like Bochs?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagahanala:
Tmobile finally got their LTE service up in springfield, mo and im noticing a bigger drain on the battery. Im assuming that is because it takes more power to run the LTE chip and i was wondering if there way any way to fix that or do i have to turn LTE off altogether to get my previous battery life?

I have followed all instructions for flashing carefully. I have tried going back to TWRP 2.7.0.0b I have tried putting ROM zip on internal and external storage. I have rebooted recovery after wiping also tried without wiping. Tried to flash: Beanstalk, Paranoid, Carbon, PAC. All for new partition layout. I am S-off with firewater hboot 2.10.5555.

I think the ROM you want to flash doesn't seems for your device. Contact the rom developer it looks like the developer doesn't get the assert file correctly.

Try the toggle signature verification option in recovery before installing the rom. Check that the rom is for your device or not. The recovery prevent the user to install any incorrect ROM as it can hard brick your device. So make sure that ROM is for your device or not. :cool:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
Thanks but I am sure I'm flashing the right ROM for my device. This just started happening recently. I just flashed the newest Omni just posted and that flashes too. Superuser flashes as well as gapps. I thought this might have been related to updating my TWRP to 2.7.0.4b which is why I flashed back to 2.7.0.0b and I got the same errors. Backups restore with out issue as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
Could this possibly be an issue with the firewater hboot?

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Don't see that being an issue, unless you're on the older partition setup, which it seems you aren't. Have you tried an older version of TWRP that's built for the updated partition setup?

After looking at your picture of the failed flash, it appears that the issue is with the updater script. You can extract all the files and edit the updater script, then zip everything back up. You might also disable signature checking in TWRP if it's enabled. I've run across the same issue using CWM Touch and I usually either revert to TWRP or edit the updater script.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
Thanks Fin! I will check on the signature checking. I did try going back to 2.7.0.0b but didn't try any older versions. As I said, this just started happening and is only with some ROMs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
Just checked and signature checking was disabled already. I will try your other recommendations next.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Are those roms that were on your device from before? Or are they all new downloads?

I really suggest rolling ball to TWRP 2.6.3, and see if you have better luck. I have had zero issues, and I have no reason to update TWRP until there's a new feature that I will actually want/need.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
New downloads.

Yes, I'm sure. I just reverted back to TWRP 2.6.3.1b and I'm downloading Paranoid at the moment. Will update if it flashes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
I'll be waiting for your response.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
Negative. Failed with the same error. From what I can determine, the updater script is looking for HBOOT 2.10.0000 and I have firewater 2.10.5555. I'm pretty sure this is why some ROMs are failing and others are not. I've got to learn how to edit the updater script as I've never done that before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Can't the script be updating in simple notepad? There is a lot of English in the updater-script file. Not entirely sure what you'll have to do, but I will surely check for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
Update:

I re-ran the RUU to bring my HBOOT back to 2.10.0000. I remained unlocked and S-off as is well known. I installed twrp 2.7.0.0b via bootloader and I'm now about to try flashing again. Will update again after trying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I always edit it with Root Explorer on my phone. You just have to edit out the lines dealing with the bootloader & device name. Fairly simple. It takes longer to extract the files and zip everything back up once you're done:thumbup:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Interesting indeed. It appears to me, that some updater scripts are specifically looking for 2.10.0000 and not 2.10.5555. If I'm wrong, I apologize. I haven't looked at the Omni ROM updater script to confirm if that's why I could flash that. I'm just making an uneducated guess based on trial and error.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
That's a possibility, although it's one I didn't think about until you brought it up. If I have time later I may see about editing the updater script to reflect the Firewater Hboot & see if it flashes. Glad you're up & running:thumbup:

Hi, guys. I'm Great (not so) Russian (at all) Man (may be..) and i really needed ur help to find out solution of my problem. So, i will try to explain:

When i'm playing games (e.g. Asphalt 8) more than 5 minutes, they starting to lose fps. I think, it's cuz of throttling. My SGN3 (Octa-version) is heating in moments like that. Seems, i found out solution - changing process priority. When i'm changing Asphalt priority from 7 to -20, i can enjoy high framerate, but only for short time, system putting priority to 7 on and on again. >_< I needed something like a rom without this confine or way to create cyclical script, which will change Asphalt's priority to -20 every period of time. I already tryed different roms and hard resets.

Of course the lockscreen doesn't stay awake long enough and I have to re-wake up the phone to see the emails, but this is minor I guess. Anyone know how to force the lockscreen to stay awake longer than a few seconds?

Not perfect, and not what we all are looking for, but hopefully the dev of Quick Access is still burning his midnight oil to enhance the Quick Access app to launch apps from the lockscreen in some way.
