none....if you need to add your cabs to the extended rom edit the Config.txt that you will find in windows.

ex...

cab from windows;

cab from the extended rom;

if you gonna cook the rom then change this in the registry;

to this;

so far so good

So far so good (thanks for a clean rom faria...this is a perfect rom for me to start practicing cooking on). Only thing i have noticed so far is if you go into the phone settings and hit ok, it stays on that screen (only a soft reset removes it as far as i can tell. i flashed the rom again to make sure that wasnt it). can anyone replicate this?

*edit* end call button can close it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] beowolf:
does this clean rom also include registry wizard? and total commander?

Can someone pls check whether GPRS connection drop issue has been fixed? Mine drops even with 2.19 radio.

Nope... so clean that it doesn't even have a second boot screen (The IPL/SPL screen, Mine is still TMobile :confused: )

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] golfernutnflorida:
boy that headset is a very nice deal! I love mine. Never had any issues on any rom with it, cant say that about my motorola i tried one time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tsuioku:
Oops... forgot to elaborate... the re-pairing problem I'm talking about is to have the phone and headset automatically re-pair to each other after 1. restarting the phone or 2. walking out of range w/ the headset and walking back in distance. I used to have the 510... I have the 655 now... Had no problems auto re-pairing when using WM5...

I've gotten used to it now, but it was a pain previously putting on my headset to get a call only to find out that it got un-paired... often leading me to missing my call...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
If the phone is idle (but not sleeping) I see 1% mainly, but sometimes goes up to 3% or 4% then back down to 1%. If I press the D button to wake up the screen, it jumps to 3% or 4%, then usually stays at 3% until the backlight turns off. I can then see it usually drops back to 1% shortly after.

FWIW: I have my backlight set to 2mins (the rom defaults to 30secs) and then the phone goes to sleep after 4mins of no use. (I use the 2min backlight timeout as I read books on my phone with ereader and pocket e-sword).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] masr1979:
Well I don't know about providing cab files or anything. It's really not needed, it would be nice, but you can find battery status, smartkey, registry wizard, PHM tools, PINBackup etc,etc, on the forums. The only app I don't remember seeing in the forums is X-Button, then I can find a link for any other app. The only reason why I thought most people would want this as clean as possible is because I was supposing that most of us interested in this ROM is for the purpose of cooking our own, and that the other users would choose the Real Thing version. Anywho whatever the case you do what you need to do faria, cause it's 100% sure your not going to please us all, so at least do what you feel is right.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] golfernutnflorida:
Here is X button.....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Cg006:
have you guys tested the A2DP on it yet?

I changed my rom to Xplorers to test it out. It runs really fast but a2dp support is killing me with my bluetooth headphones :(

I have the sony DR-bt20nx. the audio skips, stops,jumps, speeds up, speeds down like a mofo.......

On the xplorer rom i ran the htc tweak to get the bt quality higher, these headphones sound REALLY NICE. but they play for a few secs and then it goes haywire.

So far the only roms ive tested that had decent a2dp so far was farias real thing and farias older rom that was taken down a while back for wm5 (cant remember then name). I want to use my bt headset so bad...

this sucks :(

lol

i know its beta right now, but i am very curious on the a2dp support :)

**update***

On Xplorer 1.1

I over-clocked the mda to scale to as low as 135mhz and as high as 299mhz. I keep it at 200mhz standard

When I use the Bluetooth it stays up there by 299.

Man, I read about bt being cpu intensive, but I didn’t think it would hog so much power. Now that I have it over clocked, I still get skips but its no where near as bad as it was yesterday!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
Faria, after a quick reflash, all is well concerning the menu button. I've broken up the ROM a little and changed some shortcuts. I'm loading applications as we speak.

Quick question: Why does the clear type font appear so much nicer on your ROM's than others?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Yes I do so appreciate that! As soon as I flash a non-Jose ROM that's the very first thing I notice. Even when one enables the Cleartype it's still not quite the same...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Yeah, that was one of the first things I saw when I loaded this rom. ClearType is actually Clear :). I missed that after leaving from AKU 3.3 and the short time I played with "the real thing" I got it back again. I love the Faria ClearType (if this is "cab-able" you should sell this and you'd quickly be able to replace your Wizard and fund new projects :D). Your ClearType blows away Microsoft's and is extra icing on a wonderful cake...

BTW: a couple of updates... Tonight I intentionally left my phone in my truck a couple of times when I went into various stores (my BT headset was with me). When I returned to my truck I would turn on the phone and press the phone button and each time the headset icon was there (I made a point not to touch the headset button just to see if it connected back on its own). So no re-pairing or pressing the headset button to get the phone to see my headset was back in range. It was all automagic. As I said though, I don't remember having this problem on other WM6 roms before either, so I wonder if its certain BT devices on WM6.

Man, I have to get Smartskey back on this phone... I can't tell you how many times I've held the right soft key to close an app and nothing happens (or some menu or other app opens). You quickly realize how often a simple little app is used without you even thinking about it :cool:.

I didn't mention earlier, but PIM backup from XPlore into this rom worked perfectly (I did not expect that it wouldn't work but thought I'd throw that in that it was tested, and it was successful. I did not restore my appointments though since that screws up my calendar at work via SyncML).

I did not get to try doing BT file transfers (we are supposed to get a Blizzard on Thursday nigt / Friday so I had to make a run to the grocery store to stock up on some essentials tonight). I'll try doing this tomorrow.

So now its been about 10 hours and my battery shows 74% (down from 80%). I have to say this appears to be even better battery life than I had on XPlore and NotTooSmart Vanilla (but I have to give it 24 hours or so before I really make a final judgement on that). Also, as I type this, I'm showing 1% idle and 64mA draw, so its stayed pretty consistent for a number of hours now (but light use during this time).

Thats about it for tonight. I'll really give it a workout in the morning as I'm oncall tomorrow and will be using the phone for concalls and receiving system messages.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Thanks. Seems fairly "quiet", pretty similar to xplore. I've been discovering various ways to keep cpu utilization high, and its good they've been avoided.

Voice Command with Faria_wm6 vanilla

Does the built-in Voice Command work for you? I wish it would, but for me, it gives an error every time it tries to start, saying it needs to restart - but attempted restart, or soft reset, makes no difference - it won't work. Wish I could get it to work, because installing separately takes up an additional 4 MB.

Also, for me, phone keypad doesn't respond during a call.

Had IPL/SPL 3.08 and Radio ROM 2.69 when trying this vanilla ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tsuioku:
Are you running the original Faria Vanilla? If you are, there are problems w/ the phone, that's why it was taken down. The new Vanilla is currently in beta testing...

@mfrazzz: Thanks for the info... Maybe I should downgrade back to AKU3.3 and retest the pairing... wonder if my headset is faulty... Can't wait to get my hands on this :D Keep up the good work!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
that is my secret ingridente:D as you know a chef cannot give all his triks away....

tests im my hermes indicate that new way of getting more space in the roms does not cause problems....so far this saves another 4mb of rom space!!!! this changes will be implemented in the next wizard test....there is also

a bump in overall speed and perfomance,due to this changes!

as for battery perfomance.....i cant coment guys....my wizard has another hardware problem....this drains my batt in 3 hours! im currently looking for a new motherboard.

can you check the hive of the rom please;

check if this values are the same

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
this is how is supposed to work;

when the devices are out of range it desconects....when you get back in range all you got to do is press play or phone button to reactivate the link..

this is true to my 3 headsets 1 mono Motorola 1 Sony stereo and 1 Sony Erikson stereo, of course this all depends in what hardware you use....

other makes acording to my research ,we need to adjust the bitpool settings for it to work properly....

i have also come across another newer bt sterio stack but....i dont think it is needed.

During a phone call and using a bluetooth earpiece, the bluetooth would disconnect when a text message comes in and I have to select "menu > turn hands-free on"....has this issue been resolved? I've had this issue with every WM6 rom I used and believe me....I used them all.

There's a registry hack for WM5 theat prevents the bluetooth connection from being broken.....I haven't tried this yet.

Just wondering.........:rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] trojan9x:
What changes did you make to the radio (seeing as you said you were not able to update the stack, but made some changes).

Should this rom run good on top of the tmobile 3.3 rom (including the 2.69 radio?)

Thanks again for all the hard work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cushcalc:
Radio above 2.14?

See my post #191 in this thread - problems with Voice Command and phone keypad during calls.

Maybe because I was using radio 2.69 that I was having problems?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cushcalc:
Phone pad problem

No, I'm running the new beta, from email link.

But maybe radio2.69 is the problem - I will try again with radio 2.19.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tsuioku:
Are the bitpool settings difficult to do? What you are describing is what I am experiencing. However, when I was using your AKU3.3 and the Cingular 2.25 roms, they would automatically reconnect. There was one occassion when the two reconnected when I was using the Xplore rom but it was bizarre in that it was a new flash and the phone was not paired to the headset yet. It was actually the headset that initiated the pairing. This occured ~24hrs after flashing though...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] rkwhyte2:
Nice to be here... really like what you are doing with this ROM.

Kirby
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
The military time snafu is really easy to fix. You must scroll up in the Regional Settings\Time. It's not readily apparent but once you find it you won't know how you missed it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
That's it exactly, the 2.69 was bad as was 2.61, 2.47 and even 2.25. The 2.19 is by far the most stable.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] golfernutnflorida:
Program memory

What is everyone getting for available program memory on soft reset? I played around with some things and could only get around 27 MB, I have not installed any programs with this rom yet.

For me 2.69 had been the best and 2.19 the worsed! :( What can I say? By the way I am on Cytamobile-Vodaphone Cyprus
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
about radios...... a specific number is not the best for you....you should use the best radio from you provider or a least use for example ; an UK radio for a UK Provider and vice versa......people don't seem to understand this!

just because I'm using US radio xxxx in a UK network and it does not give me problems that does not mean it will be the same if i use it in another UK network....

there is a reason why providers provide specific radios with their roms....this is because this radio has been optimized to use in their network!

so .... if you network is;

Vodafone [your country]- use the best know radio from vodafone [your country]

t-mobile [your country]- use the best know radio from t-mobile [your country]

cingular US- use the best know radio from cingular US

this applies to all networks!

of course all radios will work with any network or country ,the must to....but there will be glitches.

that why i never had a missed call phone button problems etc...because i always use the Right radio for my needs.

i have posted this info in the forum before .....

a tester reported that when the phone booted the first time after flashing he had the UK timezone selected....now i need to find out if this is true from all of you.....

if its is that means that this issue only happens in my semi broken wizard and therefore i need not to wast time for a fix.

please post your findings.

thats about rigth...because it is a 6mb page pool....desabling voice comand will give you more ram....[29mb+-]

i will try to find it in my jungle:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] golfernutnflorida:
A couple of things:

First off, I really think this is going to be a great ROM. Already is so it can only get better.

1.On first bootup, I took your instructions and just hit next didnt set my timezone or anything....Then after the SR, I set my region(It was set to English- UK I guess automatically, time format(meaning not military), and set my home time zone. I set it to Eastern and its fine, but if I soft reset, it comes back to Caracas, LA PAZ, but my appts arent thrown off or time hasnt been changed. I just set it back to Eastern after a softreset for the hell of it. Seems to be a cosmetic issue than a problem.

2. I removed the phone, calendar, messaging from the start menu buttons, I had to do it manually because in settings>menus, it threw an error message.

3.The date format on the today screen, I cant seem to change it. Its listed as date/month/year. All the settings I try makes no impact to it. I am still looking into this.

I am still playing with other things and will report my findings if I have any other information that isnt already been shared. I hope these 3 things arent already talked about.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] rkwhyte2:
You have to change the main setting in regional settings in order to get the proper date formats. It is defaulting to the European formats.

Kirby
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
soo... it seems that timezone is correct! but why that hell is my device defaulting to central Africa on first boot!?:confused: :confused: :confused: i guess it is a hardware problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
I found those issues true as well Golfernutinflorida. You have to change the date in the regional settings. It doesn't look like you can, but you can.

Aesthetically I prefer the stock shortcut locations and names. If there is a shortcoming in this ROM (for me) that is it. Fortunately I've learned how to cook it how I want so that you can put the shortcuts where you want them. I took some things out of settings such as task manager, x-button and autoupdate (renamed back to windows update, and it looks pretty much like it would direct from HTC.

I did manage to pin down one issue concerning turning off/on wifi using the bubble. If you look for the reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr, you should add "Hide":dword "1"

and "Redirect":String Value "CommManager.exe", and you will then come up with "wireless manager" in the bubble instead of "turn on wifi". I think it's better to have something that works all the time, rather than something that works only part time. At the bottom of this (I think) is a difference in a dll file that doesn't give an option to turn it off, but the thought of opening every .dll in to find it doesn't sound too good to me. (You see, being on the couch recovering from surgery really does give you a few extra minutes to figure out stuff like this).

Faria, fantastic job overall. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of ROM cooking secrets from the Hermes will carry over in terms of giving more space for integrated apps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] saeba:
Beta feedback

I installed the vanilla beta 3 days ago. I'd previously used the faria wm6 real thing release. Overall, it's been great. Here's some notes:

I got my Cingular 8125 one year ago. Over the year, I tried out a bunch of apps and roms trying to get a reliable setup with the feature set I wanted. I've ended up with the following must have apps for my needs:

phonealarm

pocketbreeze

iLauncher

IM+

smartskey

and a couple of work related apps (custom pushmail and syncml)

I did previously use Wisbar Advance, but between the new task manager functionality in iLauncher and the improved UI with wm6, I stopped using it.

Given this list, the highly customized roms aren't that much of a benefit to me as I end up using these apps instead of the freeware that generally populates the roms. So I was fine with a stripped down version. I keep my install cab files on a 2gb storage card and install after installing a new rom.

One big advantage, for me, with the new faria releases is the AES WiFi encryption. I was able to then upgrade my home WiFi security level as I was forced to use TKIP for the phone. Now everything runs AES :-)!

The faria releases have provided me with increasing levels of reliability and the new beta just extends that. I was able to pair and use my stereo bluetooth headset (Plantronics 590A) without any complex installation or registry editing. WiFi works very well without having to reset the phone multiple times to get WiFi to start. And I can listen to music on my bluetooth headphones while using WiFi... something that caused skipping in the Molski AKU3.3 rom.

I'm running the 2.69.11 radio rom and 3.08 IPL/SPL and haven't noticed issues with this; however, I don't use the phone capabilities that often so missed calls aren't a big issue. I use it to track work email, SMS messages and appointments. SMS messages seem to arrive reliably.

Only issue in setup is that there are duplicates of some lnks in the Start Menu and Program area so if you want to delete them from the Start menu you have to manually go in and do so via file explorer.

Overall, faria saved my phone :-)! I was reaching the end of my patience with reliability and setup problems until I started using his releases. I really appreciate all the time and effort he put into these and I've personally benefited greatly from his work.

Thanks so much faria for all your hard work!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
