You will never see anything calling itself direct push in any ROM that supports this function. What you need to do to get it working is to set up a sync partnership with an exchange server that has the required direct push functionality, the tell you universal to get messages as they arrive. On older ROMs, or exchange servers without the required updates, this would have tired to send you an SMS command message as email arrived at the server, but on this ROM and any other that supports direct push the mail just gets forwarded to your phone.

Me too.can anyone handle this?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] daddyfok:
Thanks shuflie. Maybe I have made my point not clear. I mean usually we can disable/enable direct push in the CommManager (at the bottom middle icon); but now we cannot find this in CommManager anymore

Thanx for Lt. Commander Ivan for his new ROM.

Impressions:

- 30 megs free memory after soft-reset (on Today I keep only Date, Messaging, Tasks and Calendar), that's good;

- issue: when the device connects to GPRS (for example, Internet Explorer starts using it), "network strength bars" icon doesn't become "bars and small G", but displays moving and crossing arrows infinitely (internet works ok); that bug is worse than it may seem to be because when the device constantly redraws the icon, it uses CPU, and thus constantly burns power;

- unusual Comm Manager :)

- BUG: Internet Sharing cannot start! It says "Cannot connect for an unknown reason";

- no USB HDD (not a big deal, cause we can install it separately);

- issue: in Settings->Buttons one button is shown as Internet Explorer;

- no Pocket MSN (I don't need it);

- no SmartDialer (for me not a problem);

- no Voice Tags (I don't need it, if required it can be installed separately);

- hooray! it remembers default keyboard at last!

So the most annoying bug for me is Internet Sharing one!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyChecker:
I have taken the plunge and this rom is very quick and seems to work with all the apps I need.

Managed to get MMS working as well as GPRS and wifi ok which I live off. Video call aint there but can live without this as does 99% of people with a 3g phone I think

Would say the new communication manager at the bottom right is a bit tempermental and doesn't run when clicking and also I can't remove that battery level icon next to it either - any ideas?

I reset the universal BEFORE it customised the rom (within 3 seconds) to avoid any issues from the orignal o2 customisations in the external rom - is this recommended way or am I missing out on important tweaks in this vanilla rom?

I did let these run 1st time and noticed the removal of the battery icon in a cab so if anyone has this that would be great!

Cheers for the great work Ivan
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] StevePritchard:
I've been using this ROM for a day or so now, and these are my impressions (for information, I didn't run any extended ROM cabs, and have unlocked and cleared my extended ROM):

- It's definitely much "zippier" than my previous AKU2(.2?) ROM, the standard release from O2. It has plenty of RAM and Storage left after install.

- I have had my "Text Messages" disappear once, returning after a soft reset.

- The Comms Manager doesn't like being closed by Magic Button - it tends to switch on the WLAN if closed this way.

- After a period of no signal (up in the hills), I thought that it didn't look like it was picking up signal in an area that I hoped would have signal. I switched off the phone using Comms Manager, but was then completely unable to switch it back on again (or at least it didn't report it was switched on), until I performed a soft reset.

- The known issue about the UTMS/GPRS connection icon is something that I could probably live with, but it would be nice if it could be addressed.

All in all, it's not a million miles away from my ideal ROM. If I could get the levels of stability I've been used to in my O2 ROM on a AKU3.5, then this would be a no-brainer.

It's evident, as reported with all the AKU3.x releases, that the Storage Card isn't mounted early enough for Today apps to pick up icons, and with the Extended Rom unlocked, I noticed that if you set attachments to be stored on the Storage Card, then they get put in a folder called "Storage Card" instead, and the Storage Card gets mounted as "Storage Card2". I haven't yet tested to see whether apps that are installed to Extended Rom either work, or have their icons available to Today apps.

Hope this info is useful. Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] corleno:
the only problem i do not what to FACE is the part where the phone hangs after the phone comes back on

and it just happend :(

this is the best rom so far

I wish this could be sorted out
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] StevePritchard:
Another issue appears to be that if you disconnect the phone by pressing the "soft" button on the screen, then the icon at the top stays as a handset until you press the red button.

I suspect that the icon issues on the top bar are all related, somehow.

I must admit, although I'm not one for poncy phone skins and the like, the dialer I had on my O2 had a couple of pieces of functionality that I liked:

1. It didn't assume an international number as you were dialling, putting brackets and stuff in.

2. It picked up on previously dialed numbers and contacts, so you could start dialing, and see a number you had already used, and simply select that to dial.

Having said that, I prefer the general look of the default dialer skin provided in this ROM, even though it truncates my provider's name (T-Mobile UK), and doesn't have video call facility (which I don't use anyway).

Cheers,

Steve.

when we will have our phones working ?????

I heard that this issue is found to be related to rilgsm.dll file .. now I don't understand ... it's a known issue since the begining of all AKU3.x versions and now we reached to AKU 3.5 ... when it will be solved then ?? ... hope we won't have to wait till we have AKU4.x !! :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] StevePritchard:
Just a bit more info for those that might be interested. The signal strength icon in this Rom seems a bit screwy, it shows unexpected stuff quite a bit, as I've previously reported it doesn't show you've hung up the call unless you hit the hardware button.

For those people with apps installed to SD not showing their icons on today screens, and so on, I've tried installing to my Extended Rom (after unlocking it), and the applications and icons work fine. So, even if you don't want to install an app there, you could copy the executable to Extended Rom, and get your today app to pick the icon up from there (if the facility is available - I use cLaunch, and it works fine doing this, or installing straight to Extended Rom).

Cheers,

Steve.

New AKU 3.5

Great work Lt.Cmdr.Ivan, I downloaded and flashed, no hangups till now, I use the Rom for two days now. Only thing i've seen is the Internet connection icon. I use Wisbar with a skin and than this little problem is gone.:) Thank you.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] StevePritchard:
A bit more info - The version of the ArcSoft MMS Composer contained within the ROM v3.5.1.5 exhibits the behaviour, as mentioned on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=284720 which means that new messages go into a folder called "New", and only go to the "Inbox" when read. How odd.

I guess this is probably working as designed, but I wonder whether it's worth using an earlier version to avoid this weird behaviour.

Cheers,

Steve.

Selfcooking Extended Rom

Dear Lt.Cmdr.Ivan

You included the Extended Rom kitchen and I followed the instructions to start cooking my own Rom.

I Decoded the ms_.nbf with the HTC64ExtendedRomTool.

Then I tried to open the ms_.fat file with WinImage.

But it said "You are trying to open a hard disk image without a FAT or FAT32 partition".:confused:

Can you help me on the road a little bit?

Thank you, Merry Christmas
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bitbonk:
wich one for my MDA Pro

I am a bit confused here. Is there an AKU by Microsoft with a higher version number than 3.0 ? Or is this all homebrew. Wich AKU is best for my german T-Mobile MDA Pro when I am worried about stability and performance? (as opposed to features and experiments)?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Normanxiao:
Dear Lt.Cmdr.Ivan:

would you mind add the basic windows messager in your ROM, some of us need it.

:) :) :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CWKJ:
You can do it yourself without cooking a new ROM. :D

1. Restore your old ROM.

2. Just in case you need some other software other the PMSN (Pocket MSN), use "Total Commander" (freeware), copy the entire Windows directory into you SD Card. Skip those files which says cannot be copied. You can also copy from Activesync using your PC File Explorer.

3. Upgrade to the new ROM that you want.

4. From your Windows backup, look for files "PMSN*.*" & "InstMsgr.exe" and copy them back into your new Windows directory.

5. You can run the PMSN.exe direct.

6. Or you can create a shortcut to it and copy to "\Windows\StartMenu\Program\", so you can find it in "Program". You can look up for tutorials on creating shortcut from this forum.

7. It works again.

Or

1. Search for Windows Live in this forum, download the cab file, install it.

Allways connected...

Hi,

I finaly upgraded my Qtek 9000. Had a few problems and was stuck in boatloader mode for a couple of hours, I finaly switched to a fresh loaded battery and managed to install the new rom.

Anyway.

I now have some problems.

My phone tries to be connected constantly (GPRS or 3G). I can not disconnect by pressing the "Connected Icon" at the top as I could before but that isnt any problem but when I try to disconnect in Comm manager it directly reconnects.

I dont know but I get the feeling that this will drain the battery faster when the phone trys to connect all the time. I also gives me another problem, when I go down in my cellar where I dont have a phone connection, the phone tries and tries to connect and blocks the possibility to connect with wifi. Very annoying.

Is there a solution for my problem?

Thanks in advance,

Miki

ATM i am in the midst of the preparation for a second test version. This time some things will hopefully be better.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] StevePritchard:
That's great news. Unfortunately, I felt I had to return back to AKU2 ROM with the holiday's nearly over, as I just wasn't enjoying the stability with the Test Rom that I had been used to. With work starting up again, I need a device that I can rely upon a bit more, but I'm eager to try out your next test version, especially if it's got the stability I'm after.

What are the key differences between the test versions, would you say?

Dialer Skin available for Ivan AKU3.5 image?

Hi,

As you can see I have been pretty busy skinning my device, using existing skins and added my own sauce to it...

The only thing that I cannot manage to skin is the dialpad. From the screenshots you can see it looks pretty ugly now...

Any ideas which dialpad skin I can apply? I tried Helmi's Crossbow skin, but it does not work in this ROM.

Thanks,

Ireneus

Using: Wisbar Advance 2, Pocket Breeze Beta (with contacts and working Default PIM integration)

Bob_55's Xsync skins

WeatherPanel

and other great PPC apps

Hardest tool to find was the dciNoBar to remove the softkeys on the Today screen.

BTW: This skin also works great in Portrait mode...

Just posted the links to the Skins I used (all credits to Bob_55!), but I don't want Ivan's thread to become a "Skins" discussion...

Reason for my post was to illustrate (and the illustrations came out BIG... :)) that the dialpad looked.... ehm... not so nice.

So... the question still remains: did anyone manage to create a dialpad skin for Ivan's Rom?

AKU 3.5 Tested

Hi Ivan and guys,

I've tried Helmi's AKU3.5 because of some minor bug's are fixed but, using it, i found it very unstable... (gprs connection very unstable, i don't know why).

So, I've retried the Ivan's AKU 3.5.

Now i find it very stable.

Summary:

- Phone and data connection are ok and stable: wifi connection is reestablished automatically after suspend (it was not so for me with aku3.2)

- Keyboard driver works, i can use accented character i was not able to do with helmi (maybe because of preload keybd layout settings, my fault but i'm not sure).

- Speed is ok, not big differences with helmi.

Features:

- Smartdialing is not installed (better until it does not work with aku3.5)

- video telephony plugin not installed (fine, i don't use it)

- New HTC Task manager is not installed (does anyone know where can i find it?)

- pdf reader not installed (great, i usually replace clearvue with poketxpdf)

- bluetooth profiles are available as cab installation file (fine for me, i don't use them)

Bugs:

- When i install new software, not all installed packages appear in remove-programs applet.

- when data connection is established (gprs) the icon on top continues loading while in other roms the small "G" appears

Minor bugs:

- Button 4 Press & Hold seems working with notes.exe/hotvoice.exe even if the 405C key is not present in the registry so we can not change settings (better i found them not working in helmi)

Improvements:

- It seems to manage battery better than before also with the new battery indicator.

- Internet Explorer is the last one with high resolution support (however i use opera)

Conclusion: very good rom, i love vanilla ones, i'll use it but the data connection icon blinking is very annoying, and htc "light" task manager and smartdialling probably are a must for rom's

PS: sorry for my english.

PS2: please keep vanilla roms really vanilla... ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tomal:
Hello Ivan,

Vanilla version is really great! I found it better than other ROM's from stability point of view.

Some friends has requested to include HTC task manager in the rom. Personally I prefer not to include. Because I've observed a serious conflict with some other task manager, for instance, Wisbar Advance and iLauncher etc. I think many of us using these tools and you'll notice the conflict or noticed it already.

Please keep the vanilla as long as you can and provide all other useful software/tools as saperate cab so that someone need it has the option to install.

All the best. Cheers!

daniel.eriksson - I take it you were using the old "Test2", because Wlan works perfectly well when using the new "Test2" - Download it again and give it a go.

Ivan - I see you got rid of the newest connection manager in the new "Test2". As someone who uses pushmail (it is one of the main features of AKU3.5, after all) I'd like to see it back so that I can control my exchange connection easily again.

This is certainly the closest I've found to my ideal ROM so far. I think I'll make a couple of my own personal tweaks to nk.nbf (like getting back "Commmanager2" and adding a few little freeware programs that I always use) and I'll be sticking with it long-term - until I track down a working Crossbow Rom, that is!
