What does my 8125 gain from this ROM? - nOOb Question
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DonS:
Google Mobile Maps not working with this ROM

I upgraded to this ROM yesterday and then flashed the phone with the 2.47.11 radio ROM.

Most everything is working well except for Google Mobile Maps. When I go to www.google.com/gmm it says my device is not supported. It allows me to try two generic versions. One for a high end phone and one for a consumer phone.

I tried the version for a high end phone and it will display the street views, but not the satelite view. It says this device is not capable of displaying a JPEG. Using the standard Cingular 2.25.11 ROM Google Maps recognizes my phone as an HTC 8125 and I can download a version that allows all the features to work.

Is there something in the registry that can be set so that Google recognizes my phone as an HTC 8125 and works correctly?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ZzFDKzZ:
Cool I remember during the summer Google Maps wouldn't work at all. I have the Shogun rom and I just went to that site. I chose the high end phone option and your right can't see the Satellite view.

Cingular 2.26 Aku 2.3 Update - SCREWED ME

I guess I needed a reason to upgrade to the HP6925 as this update screwed me up big time. Everything appeared to be find during the update....just a very long time to reboot and setup. After setup and reboot again, very slow. The telephone function is completely gone. Icon is there, just nothing happens. Additionally appears to be processing allot of STUFF? as the processor seems to be being tasked as the screen taps are very inconsistent. I tried to restore to my 2.17 AKU2 ROM without success. The USB is no longer operative at all. I have tried to use the IR port, but it is too flaky, and bluetooth is bluetooth....no consistency; can't active sink here either. It no longer tells me about the battery, just empty information. No lights to even tell if it is charging in the cradle, or even just a power supply.

What is really bizarre, is when I tried to restore 2.17 for IR, it read the ROM as 1.2.....someone switch the LINKS load???? IR just bombs after it starts to initiate the load. Then have to go through recovery by removing battery.

Like pissing in a can with a 40mph wind :-(

HELP I HAVE TRIED ALL RESOURCES........lucky I backed up all my data, as I would have been SCREWED even more.

I MENT ROM, I GUESS BY NOW I NEED SOME RUM
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
This particular problem has been tackled many times on this board... taking the time to read will save you tons of headaches in the future... First of all with any cooked rom on here there is a disclaimer that it may or may not work and it might even brick your phone... However, your particular problem is easily solveable if you take the time to read... as stated previously.. I DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2.XX BOOTLOADERS, i did not want people with a G4 device to brick their phone... Taking the time to read this you would have noticed that and also noticed the solution... Now when you downgrade to a 1.x rom to unlock it etc, you have to flash a rom with the updated bootloader (i usually tell people just to flash an official OEM rom) after doing that it will update your IPL/SPL to 2.xx from there you can flash any rom you want with no problems.. This is the last time i am going to offer this help, i cant count how many times i have helped people with this... i will even lay it out real nice for you and will type slowly so that everyone can understand...

1. Download the official cingular rom from www.htcamerica.net

2. turn off your phone

3. hold down the camera button while turning on (this will place you in the bootloader.

4. plug your phone into the usb cable (after doing so you will see USB on the lower left hand side of the screen, if you dont see it look on the other side, maybe you had right and left mixed up)

5. run the official update.

6. after its successful make sure your phone works correctly

7. plug the phone back into the USB and now run my rom

8. after its done everything should work as intended

9. then sell your phone on ebay for something simplier and easy to use, may i suggest a firefly (http://www.fireflymobile.com/) something that doesnt involve lots of reading.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
well yes and no.. just got busy with life.. the unhappy wife is due to have our baby in the next few weeks and just been busy, plus got a different phone.. but i have every intentions on finishing this rom, i spoke briefly to faria about it today!

Glad to see ya back! How's the 8525?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
this thing is smok'n.. however the UMTS coverage in st. louis is spotty and unstable.. but then again its not officially up yet either... and for having a 400meg processor its a little slower than i imagined. But a d@mn nice phone.. and the keyboard layout is different and weird to adjust to after using the 8125

I gotta say I'm very disappointed in the author of this thread for what seems like empty promises. This thread has went from 3 pages a day to no posts in days. You got some of us worked up for what seems like nothing?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] thankins:
Well the guy does have a personal life, and i think that his life probably is a little more important than finishing up a ROM so that you can use it for a week and then flash to a newer one.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kiru:
with a comment like that, I don't think that he will want to finish it. Why don't you try to create a fast stable rom and you see how long it takes......
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] viroid:
Seems to me that the people at Microsoft and Cingular are getting paid to write fast stable ROM's and you see the **** they put out. This guy is taking time out of his personal life to create a ROM for people like you who have the audacity to sit here and gripe and complain about how long its taking; did we mention he's not being paid? You're probably one of those people who think they're too good for minimum wage; so you just sit at home waiting for someone to come to your house and offer you a job making 70 grand a year.. The least you could do is be patient and show some respect. Maybe you should become an elite programmer and write your own ROM, you could call it "skiddyROM"

You guys make me laugh. I was just stating my opinion. Get over yourself. I have never flashed. Just look at my signature. I was looking forward to this being my first flash because of the traffic and excitement that this post was causing. I'll not reply to this post again so don't bother.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] LordPhong:
Obviously, everyone was stating THEIR opinion on YOUR opinion.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
its no wonder why some people turn away from these boards...

So, let me just stop my busy life to satisfy you? I will just need you to explain to my pregnant wife (who is due in about 2 weeks), my 1yr old daugher(whome i only see 2 hours a day) and my 4 and 6yr old step-daughter(whom i only see on weekends when i am off work) why i cant spend time with them, while you are at it go ahead and explain to my employer who works me 40+ hours a week that i need to take some time off so that i may please you, and if your gonna go through all of that trouble could you please compensate me for my time? After all of that i should be able to have a rom for you in a few days...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
and thanks to everyone else for the back up! after reading my last post you will soon understand the whole delay! and do apologize for the delay! If anyone thinks they are up to the challenge of completing the rom i can give you the latest beta to fix the broken stuff and complete it!

3 cheers for shogunmark and those like him

walking with giants...

i dont know what guys like that expect grumbling and wineing about not getting updates. its not your job to do this for us, you are just an awesome guy that has the tallents to help us out. I as well as all my buds here appriciate everything you have done for us and the forum as a whole.

if people have complaints about not haveing rom updates here they should go call microsoft and the device manufacture.

again my crew thanks you, your wife and family for all your hard work providing us with great roms.

summary?

Could someone who is up on this thread and the rom situation post a quick summary and it's current situation? I'm using the HTC 2.25 rom, but I looking at my options. Searches can be dang frustrating. Thanks in advance.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dcdivenut:
Well I may be speaking out of turn but I know that ShogunMark upgraded to a 8525, so I am not sure how much more is going to happen with this phone. I personally am running the latest Molski.biz (based on a strong recommendation from a Dr. I trust) and I have to say that it is a great ROM. It is pretty clean as far as extra add-ins but that gives you more room to install what you want. Rock solid as far as reliability and quick to boot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
your right, i did upgrade, but i also wanted to finish this rom, faria can back me up on that one.. i contact him after i got the 8525 and told him that i still wanted to finish this project and is still very interested in helping me to finish it... just time for me is the issue
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Poke_N_PDA:
Thanks, I checked that out and I may go for it. Don't know if I want to mess with it though. Would it still work immediatly for cingular, or is some configuration needed? It looked like he was using a different unit/service on his website.

Zach
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Zzan:
I have Cingular US service and it works just fine immediately after flash. You will have to search the forums for the Cingular gprs/mms cabs or go to the cingular site and use the support section there to find the steps to re-configure your MMS/GPRS settings, nothing major and only takes a minute or two to do.

Noob question

sorry for asking, but I'm a newbie, had the phone a year, but haven't had the balls to try to try Roms out. Heres my question, should I take out my SIM card when I upoad this into my 8125 and does the HTC need to be unlocked in order to run this rom correctly? Has anyone tried it on their locked phone.

Thanks... and appologies for the stupid questions if they are already answered, please direct me to the correct post.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
Re: Noob question

by the way.. dont worry about the Noob post with me.. i was there not to long ago.. some guys on here get nasty about it (which i can understand, im sure it gets old answering the same questions over and over), but it dont bother me (yet), im just glad i could help ;)

my current rom includes IPL/SPL 2.26 and was made for a G3 chipped phone.. So yes, your phone will need to unlocked.. my final release will be different.. and also if you boot your phone and it is says 2.25.001 this its a G4 chip and not a G3
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:

They are my Inbox'es and Sent Items for clients with all their history. This way I don't have to lug arround my laptop.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dazzlingdaz:
Shogunmark.

I have attached a small app that I am currently testing/building that may allow us to have a custom installer build.

It would work something like this:

My program would be the only CAB file in the extended rom - the others would be called CA_ or similar.

My program would launch and display as it does now - reading a list of the possible install programs that are present as CA_ files in the extended rom - from the XML file (installed into the program directory - or read from ext rom - havent decided yet - probably best from ext rom in the end so that it can be configured at cooking time).

The program presents a simple list of programs and in the XML file - the location to the CA_ file - now currently the program simply executes Calc/Word/Excel if you select them.

My thoughts are: the program will copy the CA_ file into ram and then execute it in the same way (to install).

Would this work - should I continue development on it or am I missing something?

Please note - if you want to edit items in the XML to test it's dynamic ability - make sure the tags are in proper case as XML is case sensitive.

Regards

Darren

Wow! I'm also a self employed network engineer with lots of client history. I've been lucky in that I can carry 1 months's emails and 2 weeks back on my Calendar and carry on. There's times I've had to go back further but typically I'll always been able to borrow a PC onsite and connect to my terminal server, OWA as a last resort. We've all different needs though!

(doesn't that many Calendar events slow your PDA down a lot? The two clients I've had that insisted on keeping all the Calendar history couldn't stand the sluggishness)

And, being as that I flash my device about as often as a cloud passes over the sun, I'd never get anything done!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sk0t:
Wow.. Lot of network engineers around here.. I kind of loosely clump myself in the group of network engineer.. I'm a contractor, and I actually pretty much own the network for the client I'm at all day every day.. And I rarely need to go back more than week or so for emails, even when I did deal with multiple clients..

Admittedly though, I do have my entire Inbox and Sent items downloaded though. I just have a tendency to archive like crazy.. :)

That would be fantastic! There are some apps that were included, Total Commander for example, that I don't have a use for... I paid for Resco Explorer ;)

I like the ROM a lot... though I'm not a big fan of the dialer pad replacement... I ended up spending a ton of time last night trying to replace it... heh. I installed some Vodaphone thing that hosed it (no numbers, everything else worked) but then I couldn't get it back to yours. Long story short, I found an acceptable solution, but I have two dial pad themes... one portrait and one landscape. :)

When do we get a new release? RC1? Keep up the dandy work!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dazzlingdaz:
Zerologic - see my previous post above mate - I am waiting on shogunmark's feedback as to my little application.

This should do what you guys need - and will be a useful tool when completed for all rom loaders to make them customizable.

Make sure you get credit for that! Who wrote the ROM installer we have now?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shogunmark:
i always give credit where credit is due ;) 90% of my **** would be possible without the hard work of others... like i said in a previous post, this rom has been built by the wonderful people here on XDA, i am just assembling it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dazzlingdaz:
OK - development will continue then!

Am home from my contract now for the weekend - so will be putting some work into this.

I could only run this as an emulator at work as they dont allow smart devices to connect with their PC's!

So should get a lot more done. Once I have a working version - I have no reserves about donating the source code here for anyone that would want to deviate or make mods.

I have picked up a fair bit from these forums - so is about time I gave back.

Only real limit I can see will be the amount of space in the Ext ROM to the number of programs we can built in up there.

Zero - thanks for the remarks

Sho - you got mail!

Hi, Not a network engineer (or self employed) so I have what it probably a dumb question.

Am I correct in understanding that our phones have 2 kinds of memory, storage and program. I show 47.46 storage and 44.01 program with 25.29 and 31.11 in use.

What are the differences between the two? Is it a fixed or dynamic allocation? From what I understand by creating a custom ROM you will be able to include apps in the ROM to save memore, but which kind?

When Shogun and I were talking I was envisioning a ROM loader in which everything under the sun (or at least available freeware, tones, themes etc) was put in the file and you could then choose to load what you wanted. You would then install your own programs.

Am I correct that what you are creating now is a way that anyone can take the basic ROM, add programs they have purchased, and then install? That is even cooler than I thought!

The extended Rom on the wizard is allocated at 10megs.. whether you fill it up or not, its 10megs.. Also even if its not full you still dont get that extra space.. (anyone feel free to correct if i am wrong at any point) and i dont think anyone has figured out how to get that space available for storage (to my knowledge) and that if you try to write to it that it can trash whats there already...

what i decided to do was put as many freeware programs that people use in there and make a GUI interface to install those programs if wanted.. that way you dont end up with extra junk you dont want and have the stuff you do want in case of hard reset... i want to make a fast rom but have many options available!
