Yes, it is Cingular but the keyboard fix is not needed for all Hermes. Most of us in the US are on Cingular but we don't all have the 8525. Some of us have the TyTN, JASJAM, etc... That is the reason we are voting the keyboard fix out of the ROM.

Has the updated ROM been posted yet? The first post was edited early this morning, but Rapidshare still says it's file version 2.0.1. Getting anxious here!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Ringtone going to default after a soft reset is a known issue with the original black rom. I have no freezes with xm radio and mobitv. You might want to check this before you install any of your applications.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Gavilaso:
ok thank for the respond, I can't run the xm becauses it say something about certificated and the mobiltv i just get a black screen, i have to shut it down using the appl kill on the setting.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
I just tried both of them and they are working fine for me. Do you have any other applications installed on your device? I hate to say this but you may have to hard reset and try it without any of your applications installed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wnirenberg:
Looks like it has. The rom on Rapidshare is V2.01_2 now and it was V2.01. Shows the effort that Custel is putting out for us , Great job and Thanks Custel and Jasjamming!

I am downloading but Rapidshare still says 2.0.1 as the file number. Is the new file number visible after you download the file?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Fair enough, then. I read it as a new member lodging various complaints about various ROMs. At least he could post them on the appropriate threads versus denigrating everyone's ROMs in one place. Not to mention saying you're not happy with someone's ROM's because they're buggy, then saying you appreciate their work tends to come off as "damning them with faint praise", IMHO. :)

Cyberon Voice Dial fix

The settings executable (cvdsetting.exe) is missing from the ROM or the CAB, but I'm not sure which as this is the first Black ROM I've used. Before installing the CAB I noticed there was an inop VD icon in Settings from the raw ROM. Installing the CAB gives you an operable VD icon in Programs but leaves the inop Settings icon. VD works fine except for not being able to get into Settings.

Anyway, I was able to fix it by pulling the missing file from another ROM (lvsw) and dropping it in \Windows.

Perhaps CUSTEL would be willing to bake the missing file into his updated version for those who wish to use the attached CVD CAB.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GermanGuy:
Does anybody know how to remove that red "heart-like" thingy from the system tray? It does not appear to have any function. I did do a search for "system tray" and did not find an answer.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scrog:
Like the ROM, I got the Cingular add ons working.

On the Cingular apps

The XM streaming is okay, but the channels are limited. I have a subscription already, so I set up for online access, then went to mobile.musicdock.com/mobile and logged in with the same account as on XM and got all the channels, streaming to media player. All for free. Set to 64kps stream online (hard to see the set up on the mobile device). Works fine

EXCEPT: The artist/song title and channel data doesn't show up.

Maybe a MediaPlayer 10 (versus 9) issue or WM 6.0 (versus 5) issue or it may just not work. Anybody else use this...

The song ID is neat...if it were free

As above, the ATT media player is fine, no issues as of yet except as above.

Disabled the proxy and use openDNS, so I haven't gotten the community and streaming video to work

All and all, these new apps don't see all that exciting.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
It might be ugly but it's how we enable vibrate .....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fone_fanatic:
haha, sorry guys was trying to type while driving... anyways as i was saying the thing is not needed because when you do put your device on vibrate the speaker icon on the top changes... we're not blind and don't need two icons to tell us its in vibrate!

It's supposed to be a red circle with a cross through it over a phone. I looked through the windows folder for this image to see if i could edit it but i couldn't find it. Anyone willing to help me find the image so we could change it to something more bearable, possibly to what the speaker icon changes to when the device is on vibrate?

still patiently waiting for the latest update.

Yes, and it keeps the thread a lot less cluttered.

I flashed my rom to fast when I upgraded from my 8125 to 8525 that I never noticed if it had a "Cingular" splash screen. It was bought from a Cingular corp store. Do all the new 8525's come with a AT&T splash screen now like this one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GermanGuy:
Help

I had to hard reset my device. I previously backed up with Sprite backup. But after a restore everything seems messed up and the phone now is extremely slow. What do you guys use for backup and has anybody else run into problems with Sprite backup?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Surobrain:
XM Streaming Free

It's not a WM5 or WM6 issue as I'm running the new Cingy 2.15 ROM which is WM5 and I too don't get any metadata about the song/artist, just the channel name when using that website and my XM account. I think MusicDock isn't streaming that info, or Windows Media Player 10 can't read it.

P.S. Thanks for the URL, I've tried another one that streams XM (Xstreamxm.com/mobile) to the internet, this one seems less cluggy. The other website does list the artisit/title in PIE, but currently I can't get it to open MediaPlayer so I don't know if the metadata streams to it from the website.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
I don't do any backups (except for syncing with WMDC) because they are not very reliable in WM6. Also in order to test new ROM properly, it is good idea not to restore from backup.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jnfjsf:
Backup...

I've found the best way to make sure all your data is backed up is to save your regular documents on the SD card, and get an exchange server account and just resync through push mail after a ROM burn.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Far as I know there hasn't been an official AT&T-branded ROM released yet. Guessing it will be the PTT-enabled WM5 one (complete with that silly 3G animation, no doubt). Gosh, I've been so deep into WM6 that I forgot how far behind they are with official releases. :eek:

Oh, and speaking of cluttering threads with unrelated crap... :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ceebz:

I do the same. I'm playing with compression of exe's to free up more storage and a couple of cingulars aren't liking it hence why it's taking so long for those that are wondering.

I have never used any of those backup tools because they back up the registry which is what usually causes your device to freeze and all that...

Here's my technique in backing up my device before flashing a new rom:

Ofcourse main thing is contacts. i have mine synced to my free mail2web.com live account. now if you don't have a data plan then syncing contacts to outlook works just fine.

Next on my list would be SMS... i have my text messages backed up from more then 4 YEARS AGO!!! i think it would even be safe to say 6 years ago when i was a junior in highschool!(i know i'm not as old as ya'll but give me a break.) with the new wm6 roms they come with the sms back up tool which works perfectly. so backup your sms with that or you could use jeyo mobile extender and back up your sms to outlook. Then there's my call log and speed dial.

Theres a great tool on here which does all of the above i've mentioned PPCpimBackup It saves your call log and speed dial; which is the main reason i use it. It's been working flawlessly for me except i've never backed up attachments on my outlook email so i personally can't vouch for that.

For apps what i do is copy my installed apps list to a text file and reinstall all of them after i hard-reset/upgrade my rom. I know its tedious but it gets the job done!

Sorry guys i know this is off-topic but just wanted to share.

i have issues with mms with my connection that may not be rom related. I have your rom up and running and am runing a exchange server plus windows live at the same time both set to sync as items arrive . And both are running flawlessly i get my allll y email accounts instantly either way.HTML email thorugh live reg through my outlook exchange. My issue is i cannot send or recieve mms for some reason it doesnt send and just stays in my outbox when i try to force it it seems to not find the right connection. Currently everything is going through medianet. And it worked the first day i did the rom update butthat couldve been before i setup the exchange servers. I tried changing the connection to use my isp for mms only everythng and she wont send mms. It seems to be fighting for a connection between foing to H and 3G and just keeps flickering as if its fighting to send it but cannot. Any idea everything is flawless but my inablility to send and recieve mms.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uultramann:

Your MMS just dont like you dude! I just installed 2.0.2 and no probs with anything.

Cingular Video Workaround

1. Install Custel's Black 2.0.1 or 2.0.2.

2. Install the realplayer cab at the beginning of this thread.

3. Open realplayer, and under Options > network, change the network from GSM to 802.11B (dont ask why, cuz I dont know).

4. Open Cingular Video link or with 2.0.2 go to http://cingularvideo.cingular.com and try a video.

I've played everything I could find on CV, and it seems to work now, and I DON'T think realplayer is using my 802.11 - I just think the labels in the realplayer network settings are backwards.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mviana:
Cingular Video

@uulttramann

Probably not the right threaad to ask this but I will anyway...

Is it me or CV? I can view CV when I am in a 3g area with no problem, but when I try and use Wifi or Edge with 175kpbs it keeps giving me that error about the clip is not playable. And I do guess the reason that it won't work with Wifi is because it is not going through the Cingular proxy.

Now when I try it in a 3g area it gives me the same clip not playable error. Are there any know programs that conflict with CV that would make it work one day and not the next?

Thanks for any input you have.

Marc
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
I would skip compression because it does not seem to give that much storage anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uultramann:
CUSTEL might know this one, but is there a way to get the version of RealPlayer that comes with the 1.33 or 1.40 (Radio) Cingular WM5 ROM. That version of RealPlayer has a setting specific to Cingular customers (choosing Media Net for the connection).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mviana:
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response to my question. That Realplayer would be great if we could get our hands on it.

I'm running Custel's 2.0 and it works great. I was running JJ's prior and had some telephone/internet issues being on at the same time. Custel's ROM just made it better for me.

How is 2.0.2? Any early thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uultramann:
So far I havent had any issues. Faster. Smoother. Havent had any real issues past the CV, which really doesn't matter in the end since MobiTV and XM work perfectly. Once the PTT is finalized, it wouldn't surprise me if at&t just copies this rom for themselves.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
I had the same problems which is why I removed cv for the time being.

The cing files only 2 are actual executables which is why it doesn't show much. I am releasing a vanilla version tonight with just cing settings and enable/disable proxy. With compression storage is 57mb iirc.

I have the real player only ptoblem is cingular found the need to hide all of the files associated with real player. When viewing the dump on a pc it doesn't see them. So I hve to pull the files from the device when I get a chance to put cing wm5 back on my phone which is why I removed cv for now.

Phonealarm

Quick question (yes, i did search beforehand). Are there any known issues with phonealarm and WM6. The repeat alarm function does not work for me. I did do the registry hack under HKCU (described in another thread), but that did not help either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rblover69:
its not a rom issue, its a setting issue i believe it may be windows live and the exchange server working at the same time.

Here's an adaptation of your splash that I'm using on mine. The girlie one is fine and all, just not in the workplace! :eek:

The attached zip contains a .nbh with the first pic packaged as the primary & sub splash. You can flash it in a jiffy using Custom RUU.

yeah, all it is is 1 line in the config file that tells it to auto run.

There is more storage the pic above is with vjflashlight and the vibrate tray app still in it. So you can expect 56.5-57mb in the vanilla build with only taskman, htctweak, and task manager.

Clearvue redux

Custel, thanks for the ROM! And say hello to my hometown, the Windy one.

Anyway, with regards to the Clearvue discussion earlier in this thread, am I the only one that definitely has proven that Clearvue is still in the ROM? Austinsync noticed the files, you said they weren't there, but I have your original ROM running, just opened up a .pdf, and sure enough, it was Clearvue. I don't have Acrobat LE installed.

Sorry if this issue is already resolved, but a search using "Clearvue" and "Clearview" (sic) didn't turn up a definite conclusion.

I will probably flash 2.0.2 now, so if I missed something and Clearvue is for sure a dead issue, so much the better. If it's still there, though, good opportunity to free up more storage!

Rgds

Ben
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
I didn't see an executable for it in the dump but all corresponding dll's and other files have been removed so I am suprised that it actually functions. It should start with cvxxx.exe and there is nothing there, if someone knows the definitive name I can remove the exe for it as well, that is the only file left.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
Custel, many thanks for your quick reply. I forgot to mention that I couldn't read much of the file I opened - just the graphics. I thought that was just the normal crappy behavior of Clearvue :p but your reply explains why the file was illegible.

If I find the filename of the executable, I will let you know. No biggy, though. I will just run the Adobe cab you kindly posted, and forget about it.
