Bring it on

Anichillus,

Do it your way. Stripped to the bone. No little apps. Nothing unnecessary. Those of us who are learning to cook ourselves will be greatly in your debt. The rest of you will see how having a base like this will allow others to create an endless variety of roms for you to play with.

If I can help, let me know.

Go get em...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
Didn't take me long to figure that out.

Regarding the last post, if you take those things out of the ROM and put them back in using the CAB, you will just eat into your storage space. Clean ROMs are not for installing so much as allowing you to put what YOU want in the ROM when you cook it.

I guess my issue with a few of the cooks here was that they were not just porting the ROMs and giving aspiring cooks the leeway to remove or install what they wanted. I think nottoosmart, mUn, anichillus and others realized that and started the whole vanilla craze. The funny thing is, I think most people like it! I ran the AKU 2.3 Mr. Clean ROM for about 4 mos. before I decided to jump to the Zeroxtreme 3.2. Both were rock solid and I didn't feel like I was carrying around half-baked custom jobs. Once I got the Qtek screen on them, it felt just like a factory ROM.

After using your explore 1.1 for a week now I would add the following:

- fix phonepad input T9 language (always comes back to english)

- fix wifi startup problem (no wifi entry in my reg)

- add "softkey applet" fix (and add the applet while you're there :-) )

Keep up the good work! Your 1.1 release revived my Mda Vario!!

I think this you will like

I need a programmer for this one

It just came to me. I need a really good programmer that can build for me and the community an Update Utility.

Q : What does it do ?

A : It checks for Updates, right ?

It's a great way to keep up with patches and fixes. Something like the Desktop Windows "Automatic Updates"

* It has to work as automatic and manual, with an select option.

* It has to check with a version on my ftp/site or...anyother place, I'm open for suggestion.

Q : What's the point ?

A : The point is that it will be really easy to keep up with fixes, and no further need to flash.

* It has to have an way of keeping after hard reset

I have to go now, but will be back later.

Awayting your thoughts...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] LiQuiD FrEeZe:
Excellent idea anichillus! That would be awesome and kind of a cool idea to have an update for fixes and patches for ur next rom version. I hope someone that knows how to do it does it cuz that will make anichillus the best chef yet ;-)

I don't know where these are 'features' or bugs, but the problems I had with Faria 1.1 were:

1) Pressing end call disconnected GPRS rather than minimising

2) Device kept waking up periodically after being turned off but not locked

3) Dates sometimes seemed badly formatted?

4) Battery drain seemed a bit higher?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mdhensley5:
Please...

Just my 2 cents ....please keep the core version as clean as you can possibly get it with only the bug fixes included. Those who don't want a vanilla rom can wait for the rtm version that you are going to release.

Thanks for 1.1. It's the best rom yet.

Flagged email bug

One bug I noticed (I may be the only one using this feature)

If you are synching with Exchange 2007, and using the flag email feature -

From within an email the "set flag", "clear flag" and "complete flag" are mixed.

"Set" puts a "complete" and so on.

Not sure what the fix is, probably no more than a registry change.

Never encountered this in Most Beautiful.

But X-Plore rocks!

Thanks you for a job well done, and please keep it up.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:

Suggested Fix

While in a conversation and using a bluetooth earpiece, bluetooth drops when a text message comes in.

This has happened to me on every WM6 ROM I've used and I've tried them all (literally). It could be my device but I don't think so. I recently received a warranty replacement after having it for 11.3 months. Nothing was wrong with it but a little worn, these companies get over on us...why not get something back (off topic). I have the same issue with this device. There's a hack for this but it didn't work.

Challenge: tell a friend to text you and then check your voicemail & see if bluetooth drops when the text comes in....

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
i like your signature though :)

I didn't understood all you said. But from what I understood is that after you flash the ...rom(let's say the Core Xplore 2.0) you want to copy the config from the actual extended rom and run the autorun.exe ???? .... :)

Lol it would be simple to just change this reg entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"TurnRadioFlag"=dword:0
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Extended_ROM\\config.txt"
"AutoRun"="\\Extended_ROM\\autorun.exe"

Now it's sent to \\windows\\config.txt

But, why do that ? Why not make use of airwizard for example...or use wincecab manager and combine more cabs, run it and voila. No headaches, no battery problems, no nothing

I don't pretend to be a genius in this. Because I'm not.

I don't know what impact has that instead of the normal Extended Rom, the config.txt is placed in the windows folder. I get the feeling that this change confuses the system though. From here all the troubles with modding the ex rom ... batterydrain and high cpu usage.

What I really don't understand is why the guys that should know this don't give a hand. Mabe they prefere better to just watch and make fun of our problems. That's not really nice, you should know that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :

noticed a possible bug in 1.1 today:

i may have noticed a bug in the 1.1, would someone try to verify? i cannot launch i.e. i have tried from both the programs icon, and from the mda button. it would start to load then flash back to my today screen. i finally installed opera which will load and run no problem.

so IF this is in fact a bug, i wanted to mention it so that you can make any fixes for the core 2.0

also, it is hit and miss as to whether caller id pops up on an incoming call or not. again, if someone can verify this, to rule out my mda vs the rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danik_iceman:

Great news.

UPDATES

* 32.7 MB Free Ram

* 44.5 MB Free Storage

NOT REMOVED YET

* Windows Update

* Windows Live & Messenger

* Marketplace

* SQM & Customer stuff

* No Performance Tweaks

* DRM Rights FIX applyed - NOT TESTED

* Tons of registry checked for errors.

* Phone Tweaks

* Control PanelSounds Fix

* Residual Voice Command Fix (some reg's i forgot last time)

* Adoce Fixes (adoce30.dll, adoceoledb30.dll, msdaer.dll, msdadc.dll)

-files added and settings restored-

* Alot more that I don't remember, although I keep a log

The Good :

* The Overall Speed increased visible.

* The user.hv is checked entirely. No more bugs there.

The Bad :

* I still have 7.000 lines(out of 12.000) to check for errors in default.hv

* I didn't won the lottery :P

The overall speed is really fast. I'm impressed and I don't get impressed that easy. I had the camera patch install from customise...usually it took over 5 seconds to install, mabe more. This time it was in...1-2 seconds. I thought that it didn't installed at all, but it did. Also, the start menu, entering the ComManager...the settings tabs...it's done almoust instant...

I will test it with the SK Tools benchmark to see if the difference shows and will upload pictures soon.

Check out the BENCHMARK in the first post.

Especially the STORAGE CARD Speed

So far so good...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
Yes quite impressive!!

mmmhhh did you used the same miniSD card for the 2 benchmarks?? :) :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] joecruz:
just a question (i dont understand these statistics too much so please bear with me)-how come the speed for storage card transfer rate is faster than main memory?(shouldnt main memory read/write be faster?) also, i noticed a small drop with regards to main memory read/write compared to xplore 1.1. I must admit that the storage card statistics are VERY IMPRESSIVE!! that's a HUGE improvement from xplore 1.1 but the main memory stats have actually dropped.

I apologize if I was talking out of my a$$ (because i obviously am not literate with benchmarking and stuff) but if you could explain my assumptions, it would make me really glad

Why do we have to have Alt-Tab application as part of the ROM ?

E.g. with SPB Pocket Plus (or I guest any similar "Manager") you can assign Alt-Tab functionality to any button.

So .... whoever wants it, they can always install "Alt-Tab" application separately.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
agreed

Alt-Tab should be removed from the ROM. :)

Instead i suggest adding smartskey.

Best regards.:cool:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Hello,

Man, don't ask me how, it's important that it is. I expected it to run smoother, but this kinda overcome my awaitings. You got some points there. If you look at the Xplore 1.1 pictures, you can see that "Main Storage" Read =2643KB and that "Storage Card" Read = 1500KB ....and besides that, the difference is crushing. I ran the tests plenty more times, just to be sure, I got without overclocking even higher values...6500+

I don't know why only the StorageCard speed is so big, but I can asure you that the system speed is alike , no matter that they were slightly lower values.

If you run the benchmark 10 times, you'll get 10 different values, some lower than others. How theyre mixed up togheter is what matters.

Again, my work was delayed...I did a stupid thing and ... now I have to bare the consequences.

I'm really doing my best I can, trust me on that.

Alt-Tab will be removed, I said it before. Don't know about smartskey though. That's the least of my problem

hey anichillus, thanks for ur explanation. I really apprecate it. Look i'm not trying to dog ur work (ur one of the best cookersa out there and i cant wait for ur 2.0 core) just wanted some explanation. Thanks again. By the way, keep the 2.0 core as clean as it can get....my 2 cents

Speedy rom

Hi Anichillus,

FYI, I was able to obtain similar results by tweaking your 1.1 rom with file cache and sd cache increases. This dropped my available program memory a few megs though. I have also tried to connect these benchmarks with "real world" effects, but surprisingly see very little improvement in loading times, etc with the tweaks, although the benchmark shows the dramatic change. I'm much more impressed with your observation of the decreased cab file execution time.

Look forward to your fire-breather!

On the smartkey thing that most seem to want I have this to say: are any of you planning on cooking your own roms? if you can't even be bothered to put 2 files in the windows directory, then do you really expect your going to be able to cook your own roms? For those that are not planing on cooking their own rom disregard what I said, and know that it's already been said that there will be other version which will be "flash and go", but please let's not keep insisting that he add files to the "Core" rom. Tweaks, settings, and necessary apps that's what the core rom needs. All the other fluff should have to wait for the other versions.

Before ppl start flaming me about promoting DRM you must understand that $15 a month is nothing to pay for all the music you can d/l AND I get it at 10-25MB/sec. I'm a busy guy and travel a lot and new music is all I have to keep me going so I fill my 2GB card with a mix of old and new stuff before I leave town and have found that I appreciate music more now than I ever have.

i have looked through both .rgu-files of xplore 1.1 and initflash.dat in my work of getting it ported to swedish. i didn't find that many things in rgu but in initflash i found this:

alot of .lnk-files are misspelled so i think that they aint copied to where they should. mostly the files that start with 0409_ like 0409_sample_dot. and in games folder gamesico.lnk. don't know if this makes any difference, but maybe worth knowing.

In case you are still in doubt regarding those bluetooth issues we talked earlier in Xp 1.1, I haven't had any problem connecting through OBEX service over it and ROms I'm testing. Last time, I also didn't even use that registry fix over 1.1. :)

Hello guys,

Sorry, I've had an half a day off from all this,I was starting to get pissedoff and grumpy...

So, the release of the Core 2.0 was supposed to be this weekend...unfortunately...I wanted it all so I started messing with bigger things, that delayed it further. Also I had a personal problem that lost me a whole day.

I cannot be sure how long it will take, because today I think that it will be ready in the morning and in the morning another problem appeared...and another day and so on.

I did a comparison today with the Core 2.0 a2 and though the speed is much bigger than Xplore 1.1, I was just freakin pissed that in the menu it was as fast as the TMobile 2.26, some times even slower...

Obviously I didn't liked that, I stared getting mad and had to leave out, to get a breath...

I'm back now...and want to finish the reg checking, but some problems keep screaming in my head.

* Did any of you experienced an sudden reset ... in random situation ..either when connecting to the craddle, either when applying the overclocking.

With ANY ROM????

Good news, some of you use Omapclock, and I just discussed this today with Papa, the speed in Omapclock is not real. For the real speed, check batterystatus.

I don't remember the exact speed...260MHz kinda..means 286 and keep in mind that keeping your CPU at high overclocking may lead to irremediable damage.

The Storage Card Read speed test at 286 was over 13 MB/s yes, coool, I know...but too big is not good either.

As for the Core 2.0, it will be released during this week. Cannot say exact date, because it's not ready yet and don't know exactly how long it will take.

Stay close ;)
