Some stuff

Some odds and ends:

1) I think I've read about this on other threads with other ROMs, but this morning I had set 3 consecutive alarms at 15 min intervals (poor man's snooze button). I went throught the first two alarms without problems, but at the third alarm I awoke to find the phone dialing screen activated, which I closed. However, the notification alert at the bottom of the today screen was gone, and I could not dismiss the alarm. Unticking the alarm, etc did not stop it. Eventually a soft reset worked. Again, this may not be ROM specific behavior as I've heard of similar things before.

2) Did you remove the toggle for having the phone get time updates from the cellular system? I can't find it. Again, this is fine as it usually causes problems, but if you are targeting a "stock" rom, it may be confusing for people who expect to see it. Just be sure to disclose it.

3) My cellular phone connection seems just as reliable as with any other WM6 rom, and is tolerable with the 2.19 radio.

4) I also like voice command, and saving the 3 mb or so storage memory by having it in ROM is nice for me. For me, this gives the rom an edge over competing roms at the moment, as functionally it seems on a par with other very good roms out there at the moment.

I personally haven't seen an unusual battery drain.

Regards,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Perhaps you changed something in the ext rom ?(unlock, browse with total commander...) That can give you high cpu usage and a big drain
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Mission Accomplished

I see the ROM is now released! The baby is born! Thanks for letting me test this one.

I suggest you put the fact that Voice Command is in the rom on the initial post, as I think this will be a make or break issue for some, and will save the hassle of download for those who really dislike it. On the other hand, for those who really like it, (like myself) it will alert them that this is one to try!

Best wishes,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Cg006:
Which OC app do you guys recommend for this rom?

Battery status or OmapPLus?

I was reading alot that battery status seem to be draining the batt faster for WM6? I have the beta 1.04(the latest n the chao's site) battery status
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
None of these drain the battery.

I recommend Battery Status. There are different versions of Battery Status so you need to try a couple and see which works best for your device with the ROM you're using.

I've had trouble in the past with Omap Plus where it would not uninstall completely and caused enough issues for me to hard reset.

I wasn't invited to test this ROM ........... so have fun.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
I agree, keeping Voice Command is a good idea (IMO). I've never had any issues with it myself and to keep it in the ROM would help with storage space. For those who don't like Voice Command, they can install it on top of what's included in the rom to rewrite it and have it show up in "Remove Programs". Then you can remove it from the OS. This method works for programs built into the ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Not all.

have you tried this ?

I checked the settings from the cabs and from what is actually in the rom.

Some things differe. It will leave a little mess in your registry, probably not noticeable ...but still
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Its not in Beta, but released already. Download and flash away. Link is in the first post ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] vbguru613:
Can someone post a picture of the About page where it has the MS build number?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Your right, when you install a program on top of the same program, it will erase or attempt to erase the previous version so it can install the new version. Despite the differences in the programs, there will be some residue in the registry. That goes with anything else you do on your device. For those who are anal about having a super clean device, they can run a program like SKtools clean up the mess.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Thanks....unfortunely I'm still at work. Bored out of my mind!

I'll charge my phone on the ride home so I'm at 100% battery and flash before I kiss and say hello to my wife.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Lol, is there one here that is not married ? :)

I'm just glad that my girlfriend supports me in almoust everything I do and the fact that I spend alot of time here doesn't upset her

Sorry, I was driving away the thread. It will not happen again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
What ipl/spl was used for this ROM?

The last couple of releases had an ipl/spl of 3.08
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Arren't the ipl/spl - radio rom related ?

Does this rom have radio or only OS ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
There is no IPL/SPL included. Only splash screen and ROM.

Don't get too upset about the jousting I was doing with Jacob. I was just kidding with him and understand his concern. I was trying to save a bit of room by removing CVD and though I like it and think it's compact, I don't like voice tags. However, some of my Asian friends like it because VC is absolutely horrible for recognizing Asian names. Don't be surprised to see it in a future release.

Regarding battery drain, if you flash it with less than 100 % charge, your battery will drop rapidly until it hits the actual level then slow down from there. I wouldn't be too worried about it as I've had mine last a bit over 2 days.

For overclocking, I use Omapclockplus. I don't like how Batterystatus crowds the Today screen and I think some of the data it generates is not always reliable. JMHO.

I hope you guys are enjoying this. I'm going to try to take a break from cooking until June or so, because I'm job hunting too and I'm ready to go back to limited duty at work. I will still be very active here. Wish me luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
1) Ohh the problems I've had with notifications/alarms on ALL WM6 roms.

2) It's back in RC1

3) Connection is good with 2.69 and I've missed no calls. I'm also on China mobile and do not scale my processor.

4) VC was a tradeoff. Once again, I may put CVD in the final release. Stay tuned.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
IPL: Initial program load - usually paired with Secondary Program Load (SPL), is the boot loader of your phone, much like the BIOS is the boot loader for your PC. Note: IPL/SPL are highly hardware dependent, flashing the wrong IPL/SPL is much more serious than a flashing the wrong ROM. It may be noted that, sometimes a ROM package also contains the IPL/SPL which will be flashed into your phone. Hence be extra careful what you are flashing. Note: although a ROM may also contains the IPL/SPL, `ROM` usually refers just to the OS (eg. the Windows Mobile 5, not the IPL/SPL) and the ExtRom.

SPL: Refer to `IPL`

Straight from the WIKI....didn't know how to explain it myself
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] k2e15:

How are you getting your battery to last over two days????? Going to try opmapclockplus tonight. Thx for the idea.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
I don't use wifi a lot and I"m not on GPRS/EDGE unless absolutely necessary. Data=power consumption.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] thomassster:
installed it and seems pretty clean. My battery status keeps on reading 170mA on battery usage, but battery usage after one day seems comparable to nottoosmarts and xplore 1.1.

I like this and if phone works just the same as other versions, this one will be a keeper. Thanks jwzg.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] PaulMdx:
Installed the ROM - looks excellent, thanks jwzg!

End call does properly minimise the apps (no need to hold button down), I've found the fix for random wake-ups, and I am one happy user.

One question, which might be user-related: when I had Faria 1.1 installed I had a working CPU meter with BatteryStatus, which was bundled. I've installed the Ext 1.xxx version I found on the FTP site, but it always seems to read 195 Mhz? Is there a certain version I need that I don't have?

Again, kudos to jwzg!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Hi, Battery Status just needs to be set up. And it can be a bit tempermental. (see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=302887 ). Set it up first in the Settings > Personal >Today > Items > Battery Status > Options dialog. Once it is set up, tapping the line on the today screen will toggle overclocking. Holding the pressure on the line will open the options dialog as well.

Have fun!

I installed this rom on my wizard, so far it is working great!!!!!!

this roms is sweeeet. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] corky:
hmm interesting, just tried this rom out and i get the same problem as the xplorer rom, the cleartype font in always enabled in the new text message screen only, even though it's turned off in screen settings ?

i dont understand why its not all off like the mb roms ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
This rom, XPlore, and NotTooSmart all came from the same base rom (mun aRTM), so my guess is that that issue is probably in the original rom and hasn't been cooked out, so its propogated into the ones from it (maybe add that to teh XPlore "The Core" thread so it can be removed / fixed)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
I saw it , no need for repost . I will look into it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
It is a glitch, but one that I'm afraid is unavoidable. The SMS template is a .htm document. Guess what happens when IE has cleartype enabled? You get a cleartype template. If you can find a workaround, win a trip to Oz.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dortyboy:
why is it people take the simplest problems and make it a big issue. if u have problems with cooked roms just stick to the roms your phone originally came with,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dortyboy:
as far as am concerned is that the roms work great. the only issue i have is that why hasnt someone come up with a program to improve on this dull calculator and why isnt there a program outthere that has an aol program just like the tmobile sidekick. why people why???

Now you know how microsoft feels when they get attacked nonstop by idiots, taking the blame for everything. It seems everyone 'hates money grubbing M$' yet without them we wouldn't have a 'puter let alone a ppc.

Microsoft owns you, you are a tool.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
Guys, I have no problem here. Only if you cook do you know the amount of obstacles you have to overcome, and if it's impossible, well, we'll just try find a way to make it happen. If someone is griping, it lets you know that you can make it more user friendly. It's also good if you know the cook is not a stuck up prig who thinks he knows it all. I get treated a lot better that way and I get a LOT of help from a LOT of people on the forum.

That being said, polish and detail is what makes the difference between between a good ROM and a great one. Believe me, I want to have a great ROM, so constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged.

BTW, the final release of this ROM should be posted in a few hours. There are a lot of fixes in here and I want to be really careful about respecting the work of others (mainly Anichillus and faria) who have been gracious enough to help in the midst of their own projects.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cuboosh:
not sure if this was covered but did u remove the windows update and customer feedback and what not? i seen u post in xplore's thread about u knowing how so im wondering if those will be removed for the final ver.

Always check the little things first. I usually just use only my usb cable to charge my phone with my pc. That night I had hooked it up to my electrical charger and never bothered to see if it was plugged into the wall (this was after 17 hours straight of work).

So....no issue on the battery side.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
I do not plan to remove them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Ranger666:
I actually noticed this on the above mentioned roms also, but to me it was not that big of an issue so didn't mention it.

anichillus and jwzg, do you guys think this can be fixed?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
Because it's not an operational issue, and it's not a huge aesthetic problem, it's not on the radar. I'll muck around a few of the WM 6 hives I have and see if there's a fix, but don't get your hopes up.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] corky:
ok guys thanks anyway, yes you are right it is only a small issue i know, it's just that i like to try out all these nice new roms that you guys release, and was curious why some did it and the mb rom did'nt, but that has been answered now.

If it gets fixed all well and good, anyway keep up the good work guys :)

My compliments to the chef! I do like the business quality of this ROM. It doesn't have a lot of the bloat you find in other ROMs and seems to really perform well given the amount of use it gets.

I am hoping that somebody might be able to help me with something. When you select the hard button for messaging it will bring you straight to text msg inbox or MMS, but won't rotate all the way to Outlook. I have to either select /menu/goto/outlook, or I can drop down from Inbox and select the Outlook inbox. IS there a way for me to program the Button to go straight to my Outlook Inbox every time? (As a business user I don't need MMS or SMS anyway)

Two possible Add-ons... There is a good registry editor out there which comes in handy, as well as an "X Button" app that really closes the application so you don't end up with a ton running in memory. (or can somebody point me to where I might find them?)

Thanks

At last i have found out how to disable the cleartype in pocket ie, which fixes the problem of the clearype being enabled in the new sms section.

I was hoping it was just a registry difference between roms, and it is.

here you go.....

Value Name: ClearTypeText

Has anyone else had problems with the phone not vibrating when in vibrate mode when getting a text message? If I send myself a text message the phone vibrates with the send notification, but then I just get the incoming text message notification but the phone doesn't vibrate.

I've checked my phone has vibrate ticked for 'Messaging: Next Text Message' and the phone correctly vibrates for an incoming call. I've also tried a soft reboot and changing the speaker volume / vibrate mode.

Any thoughts?

Going to take a walk....

To buy some smokes and then whatch Inland Empire.

If your build distracts me from the movie it's the perfect build.

If it doesn't it probaply stil is great but the movie was awesome.

Will report on a comparison between the only other WM6 rom i have tried so far. later on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Noonski:
My first findings

Installing did go rather slow.

Never really had a flash being stuck at 100 %.

nice to see that the Two faria loading screens i had just flashed weren't removed by you ROM.

I expected to get the language setup in this build but no luck there.

(like it was said to be in official WM6 roms)

I think i get your intent on this vanila.

It hasn't been tweaked to the max by removing useless stuff.

I love the 10 button Comm manager screen. (gonna beg FARIA to get it into one of his builds)

I've been waiting for a Flight mode button somewhere.

I imeddiatly put back the SPBackup i've been making on the faria Rom.

I can't really go into commenting the ROM as your intention was to get it out there as fast as possible and as clean as possible.

Speed is fine.

This is really a ROM for people to customize themselves.

Put it would be nice if you could still strip the Feedback option in settings.

Thanks for the effort of getting this out there.

It looks like a good cookable rom no bells and wistless indeed.

No issue with missed calls and text messages or disapearing rings. (radio 2.69 in NL)

Now i just need to wait for the FARIA vanila to compare to this one because comparing your version to the Faria BT just isn't fare. And all these *****es complaining about missing stuff should maybe better understand what the intention of this rom is.

no problemo. I uses resco registry editor....

i just followed this little guid from mobiletopsoft.com (found it in google)

FIrst get a registry editor (i used resco)

After getting registry editor you just need to follow the steps below:

1. tap Start > Settings > System > Screen > ClearType and make the Enable ClearType box ticked on.

2. Start the registry editor and navigate your way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings

3. Mark the DWORD entry titled, OffOnRotation

4. By default it has value of 1. You need to edit the value to 0.

5. You need just to Accept the changes and soft-reset your Pocket PC

Other than that... your rom is kick@$$. Guess we noobs are getting spoiled with all these little tweaks already done for us..nothing a little searching can fix.....

So far so good :):D
