I also had a problem with HtweaksC copying files from the \Storage Card\AutoInstall\MyDevice\Windows directory. And received error at the end. Maybe there should be a space between 'My' and 'Device', but the instructions show it without the space.

I was also naive about how many cabs to load into the cabs folder. I was hoping it would ask where to install each one, (without having to modify each cab) But it installed all cabs into Main memory. So I only had 1.4 mb left of storage! It was 28 cabs, so I guess I was just stupid.. It would be great to have two autoinstall folders; one for main memory and one for sdcard. I also had a problem with Radio connection..Again, probably due to one of the cabs I installed.

Also, some of the cabs required answering a question like language, accept or other question. I found that by going to start->settings->memory->running programs->activate that I could answer the questions and the htweaks would continue.

So since the first time was a learning experience; I hard reset (after moving most cab's out of the autoinstall folder) and still got the htweaks error at end (I may try to add the space between My and Device and try again).

But now my device works great! So most of the issues were my fault. This rom seems very stable and quick. Kyphur should be commended for continuing to improve upon a great rom. Also thanks to Mike (BongoUser) for his great app HtweaksC.

Ok, i have fix the "Copy files to Device" Problem.

@eagle1

Perhaps i check for next release to install some Cabs to Storage Card, i don't know it is possible ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
I like how flexible the current method is. Why bother coding for specific things like that when it is as easy as dropping the WMXL 8525 Keyboard Fix Cab into the Cabs Folder? Same with anything stored in the registry, just use a Reg Editor and export the sections you need.

I'd rather see efforts put towards overall enhancements.

Also, for those of us who install a lot of software to SD Cards (like I do)....

I create a cab file with Reg Settings for each program and only install that with each Hard Reset, why waste time on the files that are on the SD. If some files must be installed to windows directory then include them in the cab file (or you can use a combination of Registry Exports & Files in the MyDevice Folders).

Mike has given us a tool to streamline the recovery process, lets put it to the paces before we start asking him to change things.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
Mike,

In my opinion that shouldn't be necessary.

For programs installed to Storage Card we can extract Registry Settings from either the original Cab file or the Device Registry and use that feature of HTweakC. No need to waste time installing Cabs file to copy files which should still be present on our storage cards.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
Thanks for your words.

I only include thinks that can use all users.

Ask me, send ideas, perhaps i say "no", but if it is a good idea... perhaps i icnlude it. why not ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
Hehe, you can this do, i can this do, but some users don't know what is to do...

I check it when i have time, if it is easy to include, then this is a feature for 0.4 release :)

A Heartfelt "Thank You"....

I keep on reading about "Kyphur's Rom" but I want to remind you that this is XDA's Rom. So many people have contributed so much to this Rom series.

Everyone who jumps into it is trusting their device and productivity to my skills compiling this.

Users Like MrVanx & WpBear see that others are have the same issue they experience and they share the solutions that they found.

Tazdio, Olipro & all of the tool builders listened to our chatter discussing wild ideas and they made them into tools for us to use.

Baudy2 found the hexedit required for BBConnect & GoodLink.

Sleuth255 gave us the ATI Video Fix.

Mike (fit4cat) took a great tool HTweakC and expanded it's capabilities to replace the "Carrier Customizations" process.

The list goes on and on...

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken an active interest in this Rom.

I appreciate your donations but I also hope you are remembering the other guys like Mike (fit4cat) and showing your appreciation to them. I know that once I'm gone handing out money for the house purchase I'll be sitting down a sending some PayPal to those who helped make XDA Live the Rom that it is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Heimiko:
I'm not one of the beta testers, but I'm already preparing my AutoInstall directory for when this gets publicly released.

Therefor, I'd to know something:

in what order is AutoInstall being run?

Ideally would be:

1) Cabs

2) MyDevice

3) Regs

2 and 3 could be reversed (they don't matter that much). However, I think It's crucial that all the Cabs will be installed first, so you can so your tweaks and file copies AFTER everything is installed.....

And, I just assume you can also make a directory "Program Files" and dump some stuff in there too (even more sub directories). Correct?

So..... what's the deal here?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
Let's teach them how to fish!

I would recommend CabWUZ from OCP ($30.00), I use WinCE CAB Manager ($80.00), to get Registry settings cab files.

Are there enough users interested in learning how to do this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Heimiko:
In addition to my previous post (just a few ago) I'd like to know if the CABs will be installed alphabetically (with AutoInstall), as I need some to be installed in a specific order.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
Yes...

1_MyProgram.cab

2_MyAddinForProgram.cab

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Heimiko:
Aah, great to hear ;-)

I just assume the same goes for the reg files section.

(although they don't matter as much)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
ditto, that was my problem posted earlier. I put the cab in the cabs folder... which was the root of all my troubles.

I finally did a new install I left everything empty and now its all working like a charm. This update is very nice and solid.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
mine installed alphabetical
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
It is only for CAB File installation, not for registry import or other...

i think it is not needed for registry import...

OT: HTC recorder

I saw mention that .30 will use a program referred to as HTC Recorder. I've searched around but can't find any info on this program. Anyone care to offer a link to the cab so I can try it out? Is it a useful replacement for voice notes?

Thanks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] URPREY:
I installed this ROM last night. I received the same error after HTweakC auto-installed cab files. I ran into an issue I wasn't expecting - my Egress installation caused the device to hang on bootup at the initial today screen, and it wouldn't respond. I tried disabling the today plugin, and finally had to uninstall the program. It was getting late so I reflashed back to 2.06 and restored my backup.

Anyone had any success installing this program on .2 or .3? It's one of the main programs I use, and the best RSS reader I've found so I'm not ready to give it up just yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Amlethae:
April 1st?

I'm looking forward to this release. But I have to tell ya... I don't think I'd trust anything on the internet that gets released on April 1st.

If you wanna make people feel more confident about it, make it March 31st -- or April 2nd if you gotta be late with it ;-).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mixmaven:
sure, right now I just export reg files with resco, but if there is an easier way, I am all for it.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tadzio:
I still would find that a very good idea. Why? Because it makes upgrading to new versions of installed applications much simpler. You just replace the .cab on the SD card with the new version, and delete the installed version from the SD card, and you're all set for the next time you hard-reset your device.

If HTweakC can't install to SD card, we would for each new version have to go the route of installing the app, extracting the Registry settings, generate a cab from them and put it onto the SD card.

@BongoUser: I vaguely remember that later versions of cabinstl were able to take a command line parameter for the target path (not 100% sure). So, if the install tool built into WM does not allow this, you may want to consider using cabinstl. It is not very big, and it's freely available.

Cheers

Duh... and this is exactly why I try to read and consider everyone's input, sometimes even the best of us overlooks something so obvious!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thuggin:
Lets fix some 20.1 issues.

I actually loved the 20.1 release. But it got real buggy once hitting capacity.

1. Make sure the "save attachments to storage card" works.

2. Make deleting email, remove from your storage. (these were building up on my device, limiting storage)

3. When using the phone, there is a delay in ending the call.

Here are some things that would make the OS better (not sure if these can happen)

1. Speed dial assignment by alphanumeric letter.

2. Speed dial fix, where pressing the center button will call (currently it lets you reassign).

3. Bring back the option in WM5 that lest you pull email in shorter increments of time (i.e. 5 Minutes).

4. I love the HTC Green dialer, comm manager, Today screen.

Just my 2 cents worth. Excellent job by the way, my phone would not be worth the $600 bills without you.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Ive attempted to perfect the technique of exporting the correct reg entries and then adding them to the Registry import folder for HTweakC, ive found that putting this into the WMXL v0.3 guide would prove to be not worth the effort as there are so many reg entries and many different values. Ive brushed upon using the function to install cabs etc...

Whats everyone's opinions on this??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:
Hi,

i have found a lot of error again

- File Copy

- Registry Import ...

I recode a lot of parts again :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
I think that novice users will be happy with the Cab files.

Some Power Users will create their own cab files.

Some Power Users will extract as much as possible into Reg Files.

At least one Mega-Power User will accidently launch the Space Shuttle while attempting to order Pizza & Mountian Dew via the Internet using WiFi & BT PAN from the car while visiting Florida on vacation!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weinson:
lol

seriously though, as a novice user, I really do appreciate the cab files you all are providing ... makes for easy install for those of us willing to try on the new ROMs, but not tech comfortable enough to do real hardcore ROM cooking on our own.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
lol!!! possibly a linked list for the different provider cabs would be better then.

Ive been souring the net for weeks trying to figure out the reg keys to control the space shuttle with my wii-mote, still no luck!! :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
I don't know what you're doing but you had better stop souring the Net, I'm diabetic and therefore can't be adding sugar to reverse the effect!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richy240:
Has anyone been able to change the Today theme using a REG file? When I add it to the \Storage Card\AutoInstall\Registry, it's just like if the ROM were built with the customized REG entry... The target theme is chosen, but the default is what's displayed. Any ideas?

I'd love to see a repository of REG files containing individual hacks, etc. so we can share them with each other. If anyone else is interested, and would like to collaborate on this, PM me! (Note: I've got web space we can use.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BongoUser:

Oops! I don't know... Is that a hint or something? :)

I'll look into it...

EDIT: Ok, so I guess it was a hint... Does anyone know how I could go about using this tool to apply a theme of my choosing to a device? (I have not yet experimented with this, so please excuse me if this has been mentioned before.) I assume WM doesn't support batch scripts and the like...

EDIT (again): Maybe something like this will work...

I had something similar this moring. When it did finally wake up (5 mins later) it was extremely sluggish, and would not even answer a call. The only 3rd party software I have installed is Spb Mobile Shell - I'm wondering if that could be the cause. I was unable to check memory utilization before the soft reset due to sluggishness.

Has anyone had a problem with 3g or gprs connections?

Has anyone had any problems with radio connections with the .30 rom? I am having problems where the signal is weaker, slower and sometimes seems to search for the connection for a long time. Reset seems to clear it up. Yea I know rom should have nothing to do with radio, but I had no problems with xda .20 using the same 1.38.00.10 radio. It seems that it gets worse the longer it has been since soft reset. Radio sometimes just searches or seems slow to startup. Did the htweakc for always on, didn't seem to help. I am in a totally blanketed 3g area, so my device rarely if ever goes back to edge or gprs. So i set the band to only edge/gprs and still same issues. It just seems like it is having trouble connecting sometimes. I am using Cingular usa with isp.cingular, with exchange sync and I did not use the cingular settings cab. I hard reset, and no other apps installed and still notice the issue. Really seems odd. I installed another wm6 rom (lsvw 3/20) and no connection issues. Switched back to .30 and have issues. They issues seem very intermittant which is even more confusing.

So, anyone else with these issues or is it just me? I am going to hard reset and then flash again...but really seems weird....

restoring settings etc...

For the SD issue, I found a possible workaround that could be cooked:

Legolastheelf has found HKLM System StorageManager parameters:

PNPUnloadDelay = 1FA0

PNPWaitIODelay = 1FA0

This setting need to be set after each reset to work for whatever strange reason.

Exporting the reg and putting in in AutoStart may do the job

I have a Sandisk 2GB card

Try is and see if it works for you

Actually the numbers kyphur had cooked are fine - it's just and old bug, where

intermittent on boot no wifi access. need sr then fine. acts similar to the radio being disabled on startup which occurs stil at randaom too. one time for wifi I needed 2 SR in row to get it initialized.

I also noticed a pattern to the wontwake up issue. it happens if it sleep during a data transfer. ie auto weather updtae or a auto email check (scheduled) I think the data freeze, maybe poor signal strength, causes the device to freeze totally when in sleep mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kikouyou:
moisha, thanks for correcting the values. Also the precise value does not seem so critical...

The values do not change in the registries but they need to be reapplied to work after a reset. For whatever reason OEM values are burned in somewhere and registry value is only taken into account after been applied

Sleut has some info posted on this matter earlier that he double checked with M$. It was related to OEM burned setups for SD overriding the registry...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
Okay, I'm gonna change those keys to hex before the update.

Sorry guys..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
Yea, original roms are 33174 decimal or 8196 hex

Most people suggest

Decimal 8196 which is 2004 in hex.

Apparently, the 33174 value used to be set in various reg tweak packages like tweaks2k and sktools. But since aku3.3 the 8196 seems the suggested...

There has been some discussion that these values can only be set in the rom, but most people have found the change sticks and eliminates the wake up issues and also the missing sdcard on some brands of sdcards.

Thanks for changing it kyphur!
