ROM feedback

I have suffered a problem using the Check Notifications program, included in the ROM. When I selected Clear duplicates the program removed all but 4 notification events, not just the highlighted duplicates. This left me unable to connect with usb activesync etc. Hard reset needed and I tried again and the problem is repeatable.

I have previously used the same version of check notifications on one of Molskis ROMs without this problem. I don't know if it is directly ROM related or not, but I thought I should flag up a potential bug/incompatability.

The only other "bug" I can think of after reinstalling from hard reset a couple of times is the T-mobile UK GPRS settings from autoconfig. They differ from the current setting on the T-mobile UK website and do not work.

I feel petty mentioning the GPRS settings but I do so as a gratefull beta tester providing feedback.

Use Registry Wizard (Start/Programs/System), goto Tweaks2 and set Taskbar Date/Time to Clock and soft reset. If it doesn't work the first time around change it to another setting then back to Clock and that should do it.

tried from 228 to 240 and a few in between. when i woulddisable the overclocking it would be ok

I've tried that before the date always does that for me no matter which rom I used. I just leave the time.

I've been overclocked at 260 for 48 hours now, no problems at all.

Only difference is temperature reads a couple degrees warmer. It now seems to sit at 30.0 instead of 27-28 without overclocking.

I had Check Notifications screw up on me before too, and I was using an AKU 2 ROM at the time I believe. I just stick with Memmaid now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] blazoner:
The answer is to change your short date format. Do a search, that's how i found it last time. If you don't want to change the entire format, just add an extra space to the end of the format.

p.s. The delineator for month is a capitalized M not lower case as listed on the MSDN website....

p.p.s. Hidden behind the X-button space is a battery monitor icon which takes up just about the right amount of space.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ernestm:
I can confirm the same. While playing with alarms I use remove all duplicates in notification. It remove all, but 4 left. It not what I expect from using thisprogram in stand alone version. And now I can not connect to activesync. Will do hardreset soon. Not big problem for me, just want others to be aware.

Unless someone know how to get USB connection to active sync 4.5 get back working from this situation without hard reset? Thanks.

Voice Mail and SMS problems...

I apologize in advance if this has been resolved or covered before (I have checked all four pages and I didn't see a soloution or mention of it).

When I have a voice mail I don't get a notification. In addition (and this was the case with previous verions os SKU 3.0) I don't receive any text messages. I really like this ROM but I really need those two features, can anyone help...

By the way I have not installed any other programs, besides what faria included. I am using Cingular and I am able to send Text Messages, I just can't recieve any.

Thanks in advanced

I can confirm that SMS and voicemail indicator work for me without any problems. Out of the box, once I complete customization for Cingular US it was working. Look my version in my signature. I am using G3

The factor is 12. So if you choose 260, you may still run at 180. I overclocked at 264 all the time (more than half year), no problem.

Running the 8mb rom now on my UK XDA Mini S, and so far, seems very good.

Its definatly a lot faster than the previous roms i've used.

I've only experienced one problem thus far, and thats random slow downs when using the messaging centre. Writing texts can sometimes take an age using the slide out keyboard.

Oh yeah, the settings for uk-o2-contract are wrong, but thats a mute point.

Whats the difference between this and the 12mb one?

Cheers and keep up the good work!!!

I haven't disabled anything at this time and most likely won't. The only thing I'm gonna do is use the GB-Soft tweak program to make it so that my data connection isn't active all the time.

Hi Faria, I've been testing this rom (8mb version)for weeks already. very stable for me so far. fast enough for daily use. i've flashed my radio back to 2.25.11 though since i dont trust the 2.47 battery drain. everything so far have been fine, except till i installed call sms blocker. when i softreset, it hang at the green splash screen with ur name. tried rebooting 20 times still wont work. so have to resort back to restore backup. luckily only lost afew programs which i installed after that backup.

overall i quite like the rom, bluetooth stereo is nice activated without tweaking, but quality still not perfect.

so far had installed:

phone alarm 1.56

resco explorer 5.42

batti

aebuttonplus2.51

pocket music 4.34

pocket player 2.0

spb backup

txtman

tk creater

mort buttons

magic button

wisbar advance

sorry to hear that.

bt is quality depends on bt headphones and bitrate,not to mentioned that htc found out that this cpu aint up to the job after they release it.i must say it prety good with my setup. it does not matter how we improve the bt.sterio.it always be hard to have perfect sound with every setup in this device.also note tha new devices with the same cpu and aku3 roms have terible bt.sterio.as posted in this forum

I have a problem, I dont know if it should go in this thread or not, but I did not realize LVM Time was included with this ROM, and installed it on my own, now the pocket pc refuses to turn off! If i put it on hold (lock) and then turn it off, it will be fine, but I do not want to have to bother with lock, it does not do anything useful and is an extra step every time i want to use my device. How should I fix this?

Faria Rom

Faria,

I have read so much about this rom on these forums and it really sounds great, only problem is that when I finished my research and decided that I should give it a try....u removed it. Now I understand the disrespect that you went through on the other thread and I can see y u removed it. I would have done the same. I'm not really known on this forum because I dont make posts. I enjoy reading these forums and I learn knew things every visit especially about your work. I have been checking this forum every day to see if this rom somehow reappeared lol. Faria, I would really appreciate if you could give me the honor of testing your rom. Thank You.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] petard:
yes, but i have had it in my pocket pc for a week or so without it causing any problems, the troubles started when I installed LVM Time

Can that cause this problem?

It also seems to have been disabled for some reason, but even when i reenabled it, it still does this
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rkwhyte2:
I don't use the push email feature so I didn't follow the discussion as closely as I might have but if you read thru this thread (I know 40 pages)this was discussed at some length. You might should find what you are looking for with a search.

I have had my buttons freeze atleast two times calling my place of work which uses a Nortel PBX, but I have had them work no problem other times.

To befair, they could be freezing all the time, but I would never know becuase the only time that I ever press them after making a call is when I need to dail an extention at work.

I am using the old 3.0 release that was public a while ago.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
does it still have the option og lvm time in the today items?

if it does we need to unregister the dll.

also check if the dll still in the windows folder.

yes i got your tweak to:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] petard:
no its gone, but the problem is still happening, I also installed one other thing the day it started acting up, SBSH Pocket Breeze, but I also have uninstalled it, and it is still turning on! Is there a way to autolock as it is turning off and auto unlock as it is turning on? that would fix my problem without ANOTHER hard reset (stupid SPB Pocket Plus!)

If you dont mind me asking, what is a good backup program that works with this ROM? Does SPB Backup work? I really liked it, and already have it, but am afraid to use it because of what pocket plus did!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dwny:
SPB Backup, Weather & Play all work with this ROM with no problems.

I'm currently using all of these. SPB Pocket Plus, if anyone doesn't know already does not work....

It freezes during bootup and the only way to recover is a hard reset by holding the COMM / CAMERA & and then apply a soft reset, answer yes to hard reset.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] blazoner:
There have been spotty reports that SPB Backup will work with this ROM even across the upgrade. I tend to discount these claims, not because it didn't happen, but because the odds of messing something up because of some incompatibility are astronomical! (And finding the specific cause of such a problem, would be nearly impossible.)

By all accounts, SPB Backup doesn't cause the problem we've seen with SPB Pocket Plus, so as long as you are backing up exclusively for Faria's 3.0.0.0 ROM, it should work fine.

On the other hand, if you want the ability to backup and then restore on top of a different ROM version, Sprite Backup is the only utility which specifically has this feature.

We've suddenly stopped being nice in this forum. The purpose of a Forum like this one is to enable everyone (EVERYONE) post their issues and anyone that can offer assistance offer that. Yes some of us care and then some come here for help. Let's not turn this into a techie forum, In the real world there are nice people and real nasty people but everyone that needs help needs somewhere to go find it. The best punishment for meanness is kindness.

You can find the original roms at your phone provider's website. Then the roms here like Faria are great for people that want to stay ahead functionally of the basic rom. You use them at your own risk but follow the instructions and blame no-one for the eventual result. However, rest assured that almost every mistake is correctable. I've installed roms I did not like and reverted, PPC devices are meant to be fun devices. Have fun with the,

In addition to rkwhyte2's comment, I'd like to add that this IS a techie forum not a social forum (hence the word "developer" in the URL)...if you want to gab with your buddy and do some electronic equivalent of hold hands or give hugs, then go to HoFo or Google pages or somewhere else.

Its just my opinion of course, but too many people hang out in this forum without the technical competency to perform the steps mentioned in here. They have some overwhelming desire to have the "latest and greatest" but don't have enough sense to know when they're over their head...the end result is 1000s of emails flooding in to whoever contributes (like happened to Faria), they get frustrated even when the guru posts helpful info to fix the problems because the users don't know what they're doing (like happened to Faria...) and technical innovation is lost because jerks like __s(ucks) do the crap they do...we all lose out in the end.

___s is who he is. Faria may be mad at him and thats how he feels. I've been following this post from the previous one. All Faria had to do was change the password and anyone that downloads his roms and installs it is taking full responsibility for their phone. Faria always has the option to ignore dummies.

___s He is right in a way, Faria did not write AKU 3 or any of the programs integrated to it. He cooked all together like chicken pea soup. Unlike a restaurant he can't be held responsible (sued) by someone that has a running stomach by eating his cooking. So Faria needs to relax and have fun with the stuff he’s doing.

Yes he has a family and it takes time to put this all together and he is good. I’ve had issues with the Rom but not enough to ***** and moan about, jut point them out and hope for a resolution. I use 3.0 RC1 and look forward to future releases and then even if he quits like my favorite chef ((Summiter ))did, Nature abhors vacuums, someone will come on the scene and do great roms. So Faria you are great just relax.

___s you did infact act like an a--sh-le, but that’s probably who you are you. Now do the right thing and apologize to everyone on this forum, you nearly cost us all a great chef and great meals down the road. Then you will be forgiven and life will go on and others that have no clue about what are they are doing with their beautiful, wonderful phones can continue to screw up and get free customer service

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
This is a Techie Forum....

I've been a software developer for over 10 years now (yep, it's my day job). Been a hacker (not the criminal version) over twice as long.

I've dabbled in the Pocket PCs since the days of my Cassiopeia E105.

When I found HTC phones I was very excited. My Blue Angel (SX-66) had some problems but I loved it anyways. Then I switched to the Wizard and discovered even more fun to be had.

My first foray into Rom cooking was to repackage most of the 2.x Radio Roms into their own installer packages. Just like Faria, I posted comprehensive instructions and warnings in the original post of the thread I started to contain them.

I abandoned that project when I realized how many didn't bother to read the FEW SIMPLE LINES I posted that would have saved them headaches. Think of all of the posts about "Bricked my phone with a Radio Only Rom". How do you brick your phone (destroy the boot loader) with a Rom that HAS NO BOOT LOADER?

How many idiots tried to flash a 2.x Radio Rom onto a 1.x Boot Loader despite the fact that I very clearly stated that it would not work.

As a result of that experience I decided to stay away from cooking an OS Rom.

I am very happy to help someone like Faria but I would never be the front man for a project like that in this forum.

Users like__s(tupid) need to revert back to their FireFly Phone and leave PPC Phones to people who can actually read.

Rom update;

The phone issues’ are caused by the shell crashing, im not sure what is doing this. So please enable error report in your device, meanwhile I will issue a patch for it and other minor issues’.

If this does not work I have no choice but to change the system folder from 3.2 to 3.3.

Regarding my future work;

After 2 day o thinking about this and discussing it with the site admin this are my decisions’, until there a better way.

Apparently mister __S is also in my mailing list under another name

I will not put up with this kind of ****.

So I got few choices.

Terminate the project

Delete my mailing list and start new, only by pm so it can be filtered like only if you are a senior members {I know, is not fair] but hei what can I do. This was a hobby. I don’t want a hobby that gives more grief than my real job. This is no longer fun.

The site admin have been in contact with me. They are looking at this kind of issue.

As of today don’t bother contacting me about the rom if you are not a senior member, don’t contact me about future releases, I will contact you OR A MEMBER WILL IN MY BEHALF[i still have over 400 emails to open and filter tru]. All received mail about will be blocked.

This is to avoid getting of track off our goal. I’m sorry but I got limits to.

I need experienced people so we can speed up the development process this was why I released the rom.

Once the rom is stabilized it will be for everyone as planed before.

Thank you every one for their support, specially my first beta testers.

and those who donated to me,without me asking for anything.

To top it all up mister __S SEND ME A PM TODAY!!!!!

Well after reading Jose's and Kyphur's posts I just had to respond. I don't blame Jose for the decisions he will make he has no choice. Because of one ahole many of us will suffer. Like Kyphur I have been in IT for quite awhile (25 years). I have been a system engineer in the field and then a system analyst in QA. I'm now a network administrator and have been at this job for the last 12 years and with luck I will be able to retire from here in another 12 years. I don't write code but I do know how to follow logic and testing is something I have been doing for the last well nearly 25 years. I enjoy working with the phones but I too get aggravated with the people who clog up the forums with stupid posts because they either can't or won't read the instructions and I'm just reading. I don't even want to think about the amount of mail that Faria and others get everyday most of it asking for things or just asking stupid questions they have already answered 100's of times.
