Problem with SPB Pocket Plus

I have been a part of this forum for a couple of years and have flashed new Roms at least a hundred times.... have had a Wallaby, Blue Angel and now a Hermes.

At last We have a Rom from Downunder!

Really want to support the "ROM from Downunder" but after about 8 flashes last week could not get it to work properly. (I am using LSVW at the moment) After waking up this morning have found that others are having problems with SPB Pocket Plus.... So off I went and flashed again and installed nothing else but SPB Pocket Plus. I can confirm that it slows everything down to a point where it sometimes will not even boot. If you can fix this problem this will be my choice of ROMS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Deano69:
I've got SPB Weather 1.6.2 loaded and haven't seen any problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Penske MB:
Me2!!!

Once the SPB Pocket Plus is installed, the system runs SO slow and you can't even do anything to it. It also show "load engine error". I really like the Pocket Plus' feature, but.......

I agree this is a good ROM, so far the fastest one I tried....

Anyone??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pinhead:
Spb Shell works just fine with this ROM. Spb Pocket Plus does NOT work at all and will not allow the device to properly boot. If you install it you will have to do a hard reset. I have installed Spb Backup without a hitch as well. I have not used the program yet but I am sure it won't cause any problems.

With all that this ROM adds I really don't care much about not having Spb Pocket Plus. Especially since Mobile Shell works so well. I would like to find a program to serve as a task switcher, mapped to a hard-key, as well as a screen toggle to map to another hard-key. I'm sure I can find one here though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Amlethae:
So maybe it's a problem with the version. I've been trying (failing) to use 1.7. I'll try to find a copy of 1.6.2 and see how that goes.

CONFIRMED:

SPB Weather 1.6.2 WORKS with this rom.

Note: 1.7 does NOT work.

SPB Pocket Plus 3.2 and 3.1.2 do NOT work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rv1nd:
That narrows it down to only one thing then...spb pocket plus, i guess i can live without that for the time.

I've also upgraded to Radio ROm 1.38.00.10. Tomtom also works well quick...no hanging anymore.

Looks like this might be then one I keep.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] prbdave:
I've only got 1.7. Want 1.6.2 now....

rev value

Hi,

Just upgraded to black.. One dumb thing happened, hope someone can help?

I missed the video call button, so I decided to change the reg value

HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin

to 1

(as seen here somewhere)

Didnt like the result (no video button and no dialerskin)

So desided to change it back in the registry...

But now I miss the dialerskin!

(Also miss the skin on the pinpad, but that was gone after the first time I did a soft reset)

Hope it can be fixed?

Greetzzz

EDIT tried the skinned dialpad http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34781&d=1172828969 but the button history and video are overlapping...

EDIT2 tried another skin, but it seems to be wrong..

Can someone tell me the original value of this reg value?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pinhead:
If I am remembering correctly, you may have to either find out what the original files for the dialer were, and reinstall them to your device. This might be tricky unless someone has made a list somewhere. The easiest way to make sure it will be right is to do a hard reset.

I was simply trying to get an internet connection working on the stand-alone device. The previous comment got me on the right track. "... + 3G"

SPB Issue

I had free time this morning and decided to load this version in support of my down under brothers. It is running fine and I have found it to be an excellent rom. However it hates SPB Plus & Weather (both the latest versions) with a passion. I have now flashed it 4 times trying to findout what is the issue but with no success it just runs so badly that I cannot locate which part is tripping it up.

1. With both apps loaded it struggled to load up and I thought I'd stuffed my phone but eventually it got there. Oddly hard reset did not fix the prob.

2. Flashed with just SPB Plus was the same result.

3. Flashed with just SPB Weather again same result.

4. Flashed with no SPB and it is running fine

I have only previously ran XDA live ver .10 & .20 while SPB does slow these versions only slightly it however still runs.

I will continue to run this rom as I really like the speed but hope in the future this SPB issue can be resolved. Maybe time to look for plus & weather replacement apps :p

edit: Sorry guys I would have liked to be more constructive but you really need 2 hermes for conclusive testing. I'm guessing it maybe a reg hack that you have in place.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
for the dialpad, load up HTweakC underprograms and diable the phone skin option.

This will fix it.

Another mirror for Windows_Mobile_VI_-_Black_Edition_v1.1 at:

http://www.pdamobile.ro/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=27&func=fileinfo&id=22

It is on a Romanian site of an online shop which I own and which is dedicated to the pda/mobile devices. The ROM is available for free download, and it is mentioned that all the credits go to xdadev, so I suppose jasjamming should not mind. In case you do, please PM me and I will remove everything from there. Unfortunately it is all written in Romanian, I dont have yet an English version of the site.

Thanks,

I can't instal GMAIL on the phone.

Anyone having difficulty?

I can use the web version but not the mobile APP.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
I am using Gmail with no problems on this ROM. When I set it up, it even detected the server settings by itself, so no problem at all here.

Also, I may confirm that Spb Whether 1.6.2 is working with no bugs here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] panzer:
i gave up on spb weather with this rom. i changed to sbsh pocket weather and the weather is fine :D:D:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thuggin:
Let me be the first to say that I do not like this ROM and prefer XDA.0.20.1 from Kypher. Both have a few bugs, but these I just cant stand.

This one does not allow you to change the soft key buttons.

Band Switch does not work.

I get kicked off calls.

The battery settings dont all work.

After running Bigger Screen toggle the upper and bottom bars disappear.

I have to go back to XDA.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BlueAnt1958:
Thats the advantage of having so many WM6 Roms to choose from. Everyone has different personal requirements and can then select the best Rom for their needs. Personally I like this Rom as it has what I need in a rom. Anything else I can add myself via cabs. :D

Edit: I have also now installed sbsh weather but would still like the SPB issue resolved if possible as I legally own that software and would like to use it. Patience is a virtue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] panzer:
i don't see the problems you faced in this rom (i think there's an app that does the soft keya remapping but it's not in this rom and i don't use the Bigger Screen app). i don't see much difference , other than the speed, between the 2 roms...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fiendz:
The bigger screen app is for removing the top and bottom bars....lol

And post more info about what specific problems you're encountering and maybe someone will be able to help you fix/work around them. Otherwise who cares what problems you're having and what other rom you're going to flash. :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] agentdr8:
The soft keys can be changed with the SoftKey_Changer.cab

And the BandSwitch v1.2 for WM6 on Hermes is working fine for me on WMBE.

Great Rom and just one question

Just want say that this is one great rom, from the theme to the app selections - just prefect for the 8525. Thanks!

Here are a few issue I have experienced and just want to see if anyone have gotten the same issue and know any thing we can do:

- I notice a few crashes when using Media player playing on my 2G SD card. Random but it is fine if I just continuously playing on the device memory.

- The WiFi is on/off from time to time, I downgrade back to Cingular ROM and all is fine.

- The contacts on SIM card does not show on contacts list. Only the ones on the phone memory shows.

Thanks again, it is a great ROM no matter what and I love the BLACK!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pinhead:
The soft-keys CAN be changed. I have done it using Spb Mobile Shell and I am sure that one of the other two (or more) soft-key applications floating around here could do it as well. Each ROM has a few bugs, as they are completely unofficial and without the extensive testing I expect MS and/or HTC does, but they all work pretty well. Certain ones just work better for certain types of users. I found the XDA versions to cause MANY problems on my phone that I wasn't willing to live with. The LVSW version was nearly perfect but I like the phone screen on the Black Edition one...plus, everyone has great things to say about it.

I don't have any of the problems you have stated in your post as having experienced and I don't know of anyone who has...maybe something went wrong when you flashed.

On a separate note:

Would someone please point me to two specific applications that work on this ROM? One is for screen toggle (to turn off the screen while playing music or while using TomTom for a long time at night). The other is a task switcher/application switcher similar to the one in Spb Pocket Plus or on Blackberry devices. I want to map these to a hard button that is accessible at any time on my device.

I have searched using the terms "screen toggle," "task switcher," "application switcher," "tasks," and a few others but I haven't found what I am looking for. If Pocket Plus worked on this ROM I'd have them already but...ah!!! Thanks in advance. You can PM me to help keep things cleaner here...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
OK EVERYONE,

I have confirmed that there are issues with certain SPB applications, namely pocket plus and weather. The issue relates to when the apps are installed, the device does not boot up after a SR, hence the device is stuck on the wm6 splash screen.

THe funny thing is, there should be no problems with these whatsoever.

I am running a test now to see if its a problem related to something greater. I will post results soon, I am currently flashing.

Hang tight,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
OK People,

My test is complete and I confirm my theory,

please refer to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1175225&postcount=63.

It explains the issue.

It seems the kitchen may have a bug, hence the cooked ROMs might have intermittent faults that are triggered by some apps.

Once this issue is solved I will release version 1.2 that will not only include patches as in my first post, but boot problems too.

In the meantime, please experiment with other software too and report if any boot issues comes up.

Thanks

Hi All,

I downloaded the rom, it is in exe.

does this mean i can load directly and not using the new Hard SPL download method?

I have been reading and now really tempted to use this rom.

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boz:
NO! you still need to Hard SPL first, this will save you problems if anything goes wrong with this or any future radio upgrades. Then run the exe on your desktop connected via ActiveSync, the upgrade will then run and this will push SSPL into your Hermes. Follow the on screen prompts and you will be fine :)

Hi All,

I was wondering...Since this rom comes with all the software built in, does it mean that my main rom will now be lesser compared to if I have loaded them myself and chosen to load into my storage card instead?

Hi Ronny,

Just to let you know.

You have a Dopod 838 Pro running your Black Edition in Singapore working find so far...:)

Now I am left to search where i can find my Singtel GPRS auto config file.

I have managed to go to internet and read outlook mails. but i just trying to see if there is an auto file.

I will load Chinese Star to see if it works with your rom.

Thanks to all!!!

Chinese Star works.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rv1nd:
Are you going to include ImgfsTools to reduce the OS size on next release? or Just with spb fixes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
the spb fixes are more than meets the eye, it was a bug in the kitchen used.

it is a recompile of the entire rom with Dutty's new KOCH (prerelease).

I am considering shrinking the OS size down to obtain more storage, currently version 1.2 is sitting at 42mb free storage without tadzio's toolchain.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rv1nd:
Wow if you stripe off all the apps from OS into Cabs, not only will it be the tiniest OS but that would make this ROM the Fastest too!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Amlethae:
This is a silly request I guess, but I was hoping maybe you could add MS Hearts to the next release... it's the only thing I miss from XDA.

(Also moving the included programs to CABs would be a huge help cause there are some programs here that I, for one, don't need.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] casperkid:

Could the master chefs please confirm

1) if they are prepared to consder the version fix for the Core.dll file that allows Blackberry connect and goodlink to work ?

2)Your opinions on validity of the dual program proposal as posted by poipawlu in the wmxl v2 thread, re. initflashfiles.dat
