Have you read what JJ posted?

Custel,

I know your busy, but have you read what JJ posted on his thread? He's beyond pissed, and had pulled his 3.5 release from xda. After reading his thread, it was crazy. I read every single post on there, and I have to agree that it was wayyy out of control.

Right now there are over 957 posts, and honestly I'd say about 850 of those messages, from noObs and members asking things like are you going to make a cingular version, or my symbols are messed up on my keyboard, or what about that bluetooth issue. Questions repeated over and over. Then there was a ton of posts, stating JJ you the man, or your a God, or your the freaking man but could you.....

Seniors kept pointing noObs to the Wiki, to how to use the search on a thread, hell even JJ fore warned everyone about what took place with black 2.0

Custel, before you release your new version, maybe you can talk to the moderators, or if you can have moderators help clean up your thread. Also, maybe you should make it mandatory, for all members to put in their signature, the basic information, like;

Phone Model

Carrier

Radio

SPL

That would eliminate a lot off the bat. If they can't provide that basic information, then they shouldn't be allowed to be on your thread. Because if they can't upgrade the radio, and spl, that that would mean they aren't reading the wiki, or doing searches or even better yet, following Mr.Vanx's easy ass guides.

Also, it's ok to your great, or what a great rom, but when you have to read 20 of these types of posts, before you get to a real issue, it's a pain in the ass, and I could understand a developer, saying freak this it's not worth the headache.

I initially started this for Custel, but it seems, like this should be more towards everyone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
I agree it can get irritating at times which is why I overlook some posts in hopes that they will utilize the tools that they have to find the answers especially if I have already answered the question earlier in the thread. It doesn't really bother me much, because you will always get those that are unwilling to search or are unsure of what to search where you just help them to get it done. It doesn't bother me unless its the same question over and over and over as it is in his thread, haven't really had that happen in mine as of yet but what I was going to do was make the second post in my next release an FAQ for issues or common questions to somewhat extinguish the chaoss created by the multiple questions that have already been asked and answered several times. When a problem arises and there is a fix it will be placed in the second post. I think this should rid the comotion caused by the lack of reading done by some.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] garydchi:
I have to disagree to the comment about not posting how great the rom is. I made my decision about which rom to use by a number of factors, including how many people made comments about not having problems vs those who do. Maybe if we could just get a ROM poll where people can choose from:

ROM Rocks

ROM has minor cosmetic flaws

ROM has minor technical bugs - still workable

ROM has bugs - some features unusable

ROM not usable on my system

This would greatly improve the ability to determine the success of a ROM and cut out the "Great Rom" posts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gyrene2083:
Well if there is anything I can do to assist with that let me know. Just PM me, and maybe while your developing, I could assist in writing, and you could look it over, and we can take it from there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
It is a possibility but then again 1 rom will work better then another for each user, mainly dependant on their needs. So not all will have the same feeling about the rom therefore leaving a biased opinion. It may be their apps causing the bugs leaving false impressions for other users, etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gyrene2083:
Garydchi,

As it's wonderful to hear your work is wonderful, it's annoying as well. Especially when you put something out and you want to know what problems people are having so that you (the developer) can make a better rom.

Go over to JJ's thread and see how many of your a God, and your Rom rocks, he has.

Your idea seems like a good one, but not for the same thread that a developer releases a ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] etijburg:
I agree that things are getting out of control. There are just so many new members that the flood of posts is getting hard to keep up with the real issues. On the other hand the search on the site is gotten to the point that it is worthless cause of the number of posts in some of these threads. I'm starting to believe that the person that posted about creating some sub threads that can be mod by the dev and folks that he get those rights too. I know that someone was talking about a real bugtrack program. This would help alot. Each dev could have there own bugtrack for bugs that fols find. It would be lots easier to find issues and fixes. I've been using the Black 3.01 since it came out and I haven't 1/10 the issue that I'm seeing posted. I love custel's roms as well. I kind of understand what some of these new members are going through. They are excited about finding good os for their device and want simple directions to get going. They are used to a different level of support. I know that they don't understand what we are really doing here. I hate what is happening here. I can see what is coming next. M$ will come knocking real soon. There is just too much traffic here now with all these new users. JJ wants to be able to keep deving and likes to work with the users that have been with him since Black 1 but after all the HoFO users and the rest finding their way here from google it is becoming too much. I guess XDA is becoming a victim of it's own success. I've seen this happen in many different communities. Hell I've seen it in business. The early adopters bleed to get the industry off its ass and then a bunch of dumbasses with a little money come along and think that it is easy to just dup what you bleed to build. They have non of the exper that the early adopters have and scream they non body will help them. I know I have gone on a tangent here. This has just been my 2 cents. Just go on about your lives and ignore me again.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SteinyD:
At the risk of sounding like a newb here and being blamed for not searching first, can I suggest that maybe you periodically post a list of 'known' or 'reported' issues and keeping them at the top of your thread so that others that come here for the first time or hundreth time can compare their issue to what you are aware of. I think some of the problem with these other threads is that as busy as the 'cook' might be with their day job or working on a new release, some questions or repeated issues are posted because they aren't sure if the ROM author is aware of or saw the issue. Acknowledgement through single, updated list of reported or known issues could go along way to reducing those sort of messages.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Not to be a **** but did you read the post you quoted?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] monkey28rb:
lol wow i think he skipped what you said.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SteinyD:
All I can do is sit here and laugh at myself. That will be the last time I read / reply in these forums at the hour I did and with the quantity of 'beverages' consumed!

Sorry!! What a great I idea you had! A FAQ at the top of the thread. Wish I had thought of that! ;-)

Keep on keepin' on!

Cusel,any eta for the new release?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Some time this week, would go into detail but don't want my ideas stolen like last time I opened my mouth pre-release...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
SpellingThanks for the reply Custel. I know exactly what you mean.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
You're doing the right thing! I look forward to your new release as always... really enjoyed using 1.3 thanks mate
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] masta7100:
does the custel 1.3 have settings for 8525 and MMS settings. I can't seem to send MMS messages... can
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
yes it auto installs mms settings, not quite sure what you mean in regards to 8525 setting though.

Upate for v2.0 ETA is wednesday :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Good news, Thanks for the update
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazy cat:
hm...very very nice!

could u translate it in german? its a very nice room.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RandomKillah:
Custel can I assume that the updates will be via a cab file not rom and that I can install 1.3 now and then install the cabs later when you have them? Just dont want to update the rom twice?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gyrene2083:
Thanks Frugger, not familiar yet with a the acronyms. I ran PIE, and I am still having the same problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Correct.

@gyrene

Did you do a hard reset and not install/modify anything then try running pie?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gyrene2083:
Custel,

I followed your exact instructions. I did the hard reset and didn't touch anything but PIE.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bunnygum:
Onenote

Custel do you have Onenote Mobile available as a separate CAB and if so would you be kind enough to post it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jmat:
Weird. This flash seems to 'hang' on the SetAcousticParams.exe in the customization routine. It sat there for 60-70 seconds on my HTC TyTN.

It eventually got past it, but I freaked out and hard-reset the phone at least three times before I was patient enough to let it finish.

What does that program do, anyway? :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dejanet:
Thank you sir. I've been a flashing fool for two weeks and now I'm going to have to find something new to fill my evenings. I think you definatly have it right this time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gbh:
if VOIP works as good as it does in lvsw once you release that CAB, you are on a serious, serious winner.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcute:
Does voice mail still available in this rom ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gyrene2083:
Custel,

I've been on the phone with Cingular, for the past hour or so, and it turns out that there are some missing profiles in my account. (whatever the hell that means) So, I'm waiting for the rep to call me back, and tell me what to do. I'll keep you abreast to my situation once I find something out.

Again thanks for all your help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] masta7100:
i'm very interested in the VOIP.. what program or software do you guys use it with! I wanna get it bad lol. and do I need to know anything special about it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tl_bull:
I have not seen the VOIP on CommManger work yet. Im going to try The attached file.cab you had in the first post. Its fast as 2.5 Blk, but other than that I cant tell much.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SkyyBoy:
PLEASE do not call Cingular for support on this ROM. This is exactly why ROMs cannot be hosted on this site anymore.

If you keep hassling them, they might try to shut down this site entirely!

If you need to set up your device, use the settings at https://www.cingular.com/support/deviceConfig.do?content=KB71396.html for reference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Brutalbat:
Oh man. just installed Black 2.5. I guess another night of flashing and playing around with my device. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
WOWWWWWWWWWWW

this one is perfect!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Brutalbat:
How is the battery performance with this version?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
so far very good...also I am getting very fast internet speeds.

700 to 1000 kbit/s

averaged 300 w/ 1.2....dont know why the rom would affect this though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SkyyBoy:
does this ROM only have 22.76MB free program memory after hard-reset? (see screenshot in 1st post)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Brutalbat:
i'm not sure myself as well:confused: . But after installing black 2.5 my battery barely lasts a day. Thats why i thought the rom has something to do with battery.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Man, I am jacked.... I can't install tonite but I am definatly going install tommorrow,

Thanks custal for your hard work

Cing Apps Music / Video

Custel,

Still have your cing apps cab with the real player issue that you put together for 1.2. Is the cab you're referring to a fix for the previously posted cab or a new cing apps cab altogether? Great job on this rom btw...just fantastic! I'll wait to install the old cab for your release of the fixed version if that is the case. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] brunoflipper:
where'd the video call button go?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diaftia:
Custel, do you know why your voice command dialing is verified on the device itself rather than through the bluetooth headset? I setup yours the same way I did DUTTY's and XDA and Black ROM's. Yours and LVSW's do not verify via bluetooth. Are the two of yours based off the same base image?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
TY :)

HTC Tweak - phone - more phone options - uncheck disable phone skin

not quite sure why, I don't personally use voice command, has anyone else had this issue?

for voip apparently the lvsw lite doesn't have it so I have to dl full version to grab the files so updated cab won't be up until tomorrow.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcute:
What 's VOIP.cab ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcespi2005:
ey man..... thanks again... you are doing a great effor... you are wining the heaven :)

I'll give a try later, i'm goint to travel now...

One question, the BT package is the same as in 1.2 version?

Regards.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galinha:
Video CALL ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Yes it is.

Reading works wonders.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
CUSTEL, where is video call? please make a cab for it, i need video call to install over the 3g video dialer in black 2.5... pleeezzzzzzzz hellp
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galinha:
Im not the only one....with the issue about video call.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galinha:
jasjamming : this one is better than yours ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
it is called sarcasm. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] esseff:
God I feel for you chefs... must drive you crazy!

gyrene2083 doesn't know what PIE is but is installing cooked beta ROMs, and galinha asks the same question that has been asked over and over and over in every wm6 thread... AND it was answered just a couple of posts before his...

Drives me crazy and I only have to read it - not respond.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galinha:
did get it.....

THERE IS OR NOT A CAB FOR VIDEO CALL OR CUSTEL 3. ? the question is not about the skin...this htweek can do it.

Why you lose time reply if you only want to create garbage and bad feelings on thhis board ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
The point was (and is) that this question has been asked OVER AND OVER! Search. Read. Something. You will find it on your own and not take up space here. That is why these threads become 100 pages and harder to use. If you want help, you really need to try to help yourself first. I truly think that the people that get bothered are NOT the ones creating hard feelings. It is the people who do not take 5 minutes to search, but rather ask questions that others who spend hours helping people must respond to. Please, for us all, help yourself before asking for help for others. A little reading and a little searching would have answered this question.

This post was on the same page and exactly three posts before yours:

Custel-

I am new to the scene. I just got an 8525 was wondering how could I get WM6? I found this site and downloaded your 1.2 and it was the BOMB!!! I decided to upgrade to 1.3 and it is just flawless!!! I have on question. The OWNER on the today page is missing. Could you give me a fix for this? I will also donate. Thanks very much! :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:

yOU COULD USE your user manual or go into settings > today > items > owner info

these questions shouldnt be asked in a forum like this which is mainly to discover bugs and improve wm6 for our devices.

welcome to XDA and remember use the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
I don't think he got it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Agreed, but I guess people just don't want to read before flashing their devices. Nonetheless, they will learn even if it has to be the hard way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dgater:

is there a way to easier restore all my files and programs if I install the new roms?? currently have 1.2
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] armedmetallica:
yeah. reinstall them one by one.

never restore a full backup after flashing a rom. The only thing that's remotely safe to restore is SMS backups
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnburn:
I'll probably get flamed for saying this...

It's called frustration... Every time these excellent ROM cooks come out with a new ROM they get flooded with the same stupid questions over and over again. This is a developer's site, not a help desk for people that can't read or are too lazy to search previous posts.

It's a wonder that they (the ROM cookers) keep doing what they are doing. (And I'd like to add, please keep doing what you're doing because we need you! ;))

use PIM Backup to restore call logs, SMS, MMS, etc

get it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=pim+backup

IMHO, this should be included in ALL cooked roms (the Black rom uses it)...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gyrene2083:
SkyyBoy,

As I can appreciate your concern regarding protecting the ROM's on this site,

I guess I should have elaborated, a bit on what I spoke to customer support about. At no time did I ever say to them that I had a different rom than what I purchased the phone with. As, far as they are concerned I have the default ROM (WM5)

The problem I am having is not with the ROM, the problem is with the profile on their server. I would never jeopardize the work of everyone on this site. I will be sure next time that I post, that I will give detailed information on anything I do. I took for granted that we are all techies here, and forgot that, that is not the case, and because of this I forgot that not everyone knows the unwritten law that we techies use when it comes down to, customization of "$0ftware"

Thanks for the reminder of never assuming...

I will keep you and Custel abreast as to what the outcome of my issue is.

Today Screen "Wireless" Issue

"Wireless" gets skipped over on the Today screen when using 5 button navigation. I changed this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]

"Options"=dword:00000002

to this

"Options"=dword:00000000

and it does not get skipped over now.

Not sure if this was you intention or not.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
please don't post fixes if they aren't the proper fix...

it is skipped because it isn't mapped to the comm mgr, the appropriate fix would be to go into htc tweak, today, check redirect today plugin. can also be done manually via registry but im not typing all of that from my 8525.
