This OS is AWESOME!!!! Thank You So Much !!!!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] renegade1:
can anyone confirm if this rom fixed the battery issue on using gprs/3g/hsdpa. cheers.

thanks for this new rom.

finally found the problem... issue with monster chinese program, by the way your rom is awesome

Renegade1:

Not sure what you mean by fixing the battery issue, but you will see improved battery life after removing the A2DP fix from the /windows/startup/ directory. Of course after removing, soft-reset the device to realize gains in battery life.

DJopek... did you open the Office Mobile directory under your start menu?

LSVW: this ROM is VERY stable -- even better than 4/23 with Sleuth tweaks. Many thanks!

Cheers

Ok, my guess is that you have altered some settings in registry to rearrange hardware qwerty. In case you have, change back these two settings:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]

@aquanaut88

cheers for the reply but what i meant is, when i am online with instant messaging such as yahoo/hotmail with the use of IM+/windows live messenger the battery is draining so fast. 100% at start then after 30 minutes 60%-70%, though i am not using, i am just logged in.

with respect to lvsw and to all the chef, tried every other chefs cooked rom and even the carrier's rom and just had the same experience. i'm just wondering why the battery drains so fast.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aquanaut88:
Renegade1,

You may already know this, but there are quite a few variables that will accelerate battery drain. Setting your radio to GPRS instead of allowing 3G will extend your battery life while using instant messaging.

Part of this particular ROM's tweak is with A2DP performance. The A2DPStart.exe was in the 4/8 LVSW ROM and hurt battery performance. Simple fix was to remove it then soft-reset. This file is not included in most other cooked ROMs and certainly not in any of the generic HTC roms floating about. Therefore, if you load this ROM and care about battery life more than A2DP performance, the simple solution is to just remove the file.

The other variable is which Radio you choose. There is not one radio that is the best for everybody. As has been pointed out in other threads, different radios are released after tweaking by regional carriers to better suit their networks. It seems most forum members in the US on Cingular (ATT) are happy with 1.40. In Taiwan, I've found 1.38 works best balancing battery life and performance (speed). 1.40 and 1.41 gave me slightly better battery life but much less reliable on my network (Taiwan Cellular UMTS, with HSDPA).

To experiment with different radios, I suggest first looking at your local carrier's latest release and start there. Radio upgrading instructions can be found on the Hermes Wiki... and links to all radios are available there too.

Good luck

Hope this is helpful to you.

Totally understand what you are saying. But in previous versions, after removing A2DPStart.exe from the StartUp folder the CPU usage dropped drastically. In this new version even after removing that file, CPU usage runs at 55% or higher continuously. What could be causing that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
A2DPStart

My A2DP patch artificially shows a high CPU usage since all it contains is a low priority "while(1)" loop. Programs that measure CPU load will be thrown off by this. However, the thread's priority allows it to suspend whenever the cpu goes into powersave mode. Consequently, I've never heard reports of battery life related issues and so I'm mystified that this could be affecting the battery in this build. Does the original device the XIP was grafted from contain the same CPU as a hermes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Chiefcooker:
can anyone pls update the Comparison Chart in the wiki, thx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] layer1:
So far so good on the speed and stability of this ROM. Thanks LVSW!

Noticed the CPU is 100% and using 92mA on the battery with display light off. This could be an incompatablity issue with this one app(Battery Status Beta 1.04.202) due to the ROM being a new kernal, not sure though.

Will monitor battery life as the day goes on.

Using the Full/BS 05-05-2007...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kmd606:
I understand what you are saying. However, when i reverted to the previous version of LVSW and removed the A2DP file from StartUp then Task Manager didn't show any CPU Usage. When i did that with this new version, there is absolutely NO change in the CPU Usage - it stays HIGH. Other processes that are using more threads are:

filesys.exe - 17 threads

services.exe - 27 threads

device.exe - 118 threads

gwes.exe - 15 threads

shell32.exe - 19 threads

The reason why I say that the battery drains faster is because after a full day of use with the new LVSW Rom, my battery was down to 40% by evening, whereas in the older version my battery would be at 70% or 80% with the same usage. Any further advice / analysis will help. Thanks for your help in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hatori:
After remove A2DP from startup and SR, CPU still always run at 100%. (Lite/BS). This should be fixed.

Come back to previous ver. for a while *^*!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kmd606:
I did go back to the previous version but it was so slow compared to the quickness and fast response time of the new one. So i switched back to the new one today hoping that we could find a solution to the CPU usage problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Murcielago:
I think this CPU problem is only an incompatibility problem in Battery Status.

I don't notice any slow response when starting an app and my battery isn't drain at all after a day of use.

Same here, battery drain is very fast :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wessel.Dk:
I too experienced fast battery drain, overnight with no use it had drained all battery ... could be because Wireless LAN was ON, but i did excactly what LVSW suggested, to remove A2DPStart.exe from the StartUp folder and battery use is now perfectly normal.

I reckon it is one of your apps not quite compatible with this ROM.

But it is the fastest and far best and stable ROM i ever had!

Thank you LVSW !

PS.. someone explain to me how to use Web money? can't seem to figure it out (is it safe?) but would be happy to support your work, LVSW
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diezoo:
Same here, CPU usage runs at 53% or higher continuously :( (3.30.0.8_LITE BS)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] etijburg:
Yeah battery is draining much faster than in perviouswm6 versions. This is a lite day for me and battery seems to be draining fast compared to a day at work which i usally get between 10 and 20 call about about 200 email via direct push.

I flash at 12 and now it's 5. I usally have about 70 to 80 % battery left after 9 hours and now I have 70 after 5 hours. I'll test until thursday and seen how things go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joedoe:
If your CPU usage is really at 53% then you device should slow down to crawl. Is it?

There might be a problem with the camera in this rom..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diezoo:
I install Task-Manager, and when the CPU is idle show between 53% and 60% of CPUload, in older version, in same condition of today plugin, same Task-Manager show between 3% and 8%, samething is real diferent, but de overall performance is good. I don't know if battery life is afected yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aquanaut88:
Guys -- after removing a2dpstart.exe from my startup folder and then soft-reset, my CPU is running fine. Using task manager, "idle process" shows >90%. No problems with this ROM and the battery drain issue is the same as with LVSW 4/08 -- remove the file and you're good to go. After 24-hours, not a single freeze-up...

Sleuth -- no idea why. My device is one of the original (2nd week of production) Hermese 200's badged as CHT9000. A2DP works 98% fine without the patch.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] perlmane:
I have been using this ROM for a day and a half. I had immediately removed that a2dp file since I usually remove things I do not want to run. I am enjoying no problems except it will not run Sprite Backup. It is running Spb Backup beautifully.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joedoe:
So it just means that the Task Manager is incompatible with this OS version
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I'll load this build and run my A2DP patch through the debugger tomorrow to see if there's some quirk with the new Kernel that could cause a battery drain issue.

It's really not necessary to run it anyway unless you get skipping on your headset.

Maybe... you are right... I'm not sure.

Hello,

I tried all the tweaks in that page (I have Softbank hermes with Japanese i/o installed):

Note: For those with a Chinese Keyboard Layout, Changing the Preload will affect Outlook, particularly when composing e-mails. Typing e-mail addresses will not auto-load from your address book for some reason. This can be fixed by deleting the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload] folder and all its contents. As of now, no known side effects from deleting the folder has been found.

Note2: For those using a Japanese layout (i.e. Softbank X01HT) with newer ROMs should use 30411 Hex. (197649 Dec) as value for keyboard layout in order to get ',' and '.' properly mapped:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]

"Default"="e0030411"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]

"Default"="e0030411"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]

"Layout"="197649"
​

And didn't work. I remember that when I tried black ROM, "!auto-load from your address book" worked without problems ...

DotFred's Task Manager appears to work correctly:

I've tested both v2.3 and v2.7 of task manager and they both correctly show CPU USAGE at >85% for "Idle Process".

Today after 6-hours battery is still 70%.

Yesterday after 6-hours with A2DPStart running I received the low-battery warning.

Sleuth: in your 4/23 LVSW tweaked version, you didn't place the a2dpstart.exe in the startup directory, correct?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] khammo01:
The important key for the physical qwerty keyboard key layout is the "OEM\Qwerty" key. Set this to 30411 in hex I think.

Note that if the underlying OS ROM does is not aware of the requested qwerty layout, it won't work. Let us know if this does work so us other Softbank users can save time and not install a ROM that doesn't support our keyboard layouts.

hmm it is strange so many people have batterydrain, I haven't my battery is actually better than with any other build (even vm5)

I usually take my unit of charger around 6.00 and by 20.00 it is completely emty (normal use, with a little music playing for 40 minutes, some phonecalls and "ms live" push set to always !

and also a regular imap at 10 minutes interval, I do not use 3g/hsdpa .

with this release (with the same setup) I had almost 50% left by 20.00 so I am a very happy user at the moment :D

I might even use 3g now and still has battery left! btw, be careful with using Emoze and using it as "push" always, that drained my battery in around 4-5 hours.

Edit: btw, A2DP is even better in this release than in the last! :D

'is the upgrade worth it?'...

In the spirit of helping a fellow hermes owner, if you're happy with 4/23, then there's probably little 'practical' incentive to upgrade. On the other hand, if you're like most of the folks in this forum upgrading is almost more like a privelage rather than a task.... so, either way, you'll have to decide for yourself, is it worth it or not. As always, read the entire thread (from the 1st to the last post) before upgrading and you'll find the tweaks and issues pertaining to this specific build. Hopefully, you'll enjoy the ROM enough to donate a little something to the Chef, LVSW himself for his time putting it together and making it available to us mere mortals.

Stability

I had been having a lot of problems with my configuration with wake from sleep, so I'm hopeful this ROM will be sufficiently stable for conventional use. I had given up and gone back to WM5 and 2 days later this new ROM comes out!

After about 8 hours usage, I have seen better stability with this build than with previous OS versions. I experienced issues with OS failing to load after a soft reset (would require multiple soft resets) and freezes during sleep (failure to resume from standby), as well has hanging/freezing during usage.

With this build, so far I have not seen the issue during OS load. I have had one freeze from standby after about 3 hours (I had configured the device to do some intensive IMAP checks, pocketweather downloads on a 15 minute check cycle), and I have only had it lock up once so far during usage.

stable rom

after using all new roms (Black xx, Custel, LSVW) I still have a problem with battery where it wouldn't charge when using in car-charger and phone goes off too quickly when idle (bad when using gps). But, I knew that the older version LSVW published on 1/4/07 was fine when I used it, so i figure there must be something in the new roms that caused it. After much research I narrowed it down to RADIO version and immediately realized that the older version of LSVW that i used was on radio version of 1.16.00.00 and it has no problem at all. Though I do want a stable OS, but I also like the new roms where we get more storage space and speed. So well, I reflash radio rom to 1.16.00.00 before install this new LSVW Full version and now i'm trouble free for two days already.

I do test radio 1.16.00.00 with most apps and they work fine, also speed doesn't affect at all, even my gps app works faster.

I'm very happy with my phone now that I feel it's time i stop upgrade all the times when a new rom is published. Just k/d, of course I'll be upgrading again if a better rom is coming out :) 'cause i know what radio i need to use now.

For those of you that interested in where to download the radio rom, here is the link ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.16.00.00_CustomRUU.rar
