Okay, got Black III installed and yes sir it is darn fast!!

Issues:

1. Darn BT issue on the first time I attempted to turn it on. On a SR it came on and seems to turn on/off now. However, I have not booted up with it off to see if I have to SR to get it on again.

2. No Keyboard Blacklight [I wonder if installing WMXL 8525 Keyboard Fix.CAB will fix this].

3. No MSN Live/Messenger - me waiting for new CAB installer. ;)

I have all my applications installed that I had before and all seems to play nicely with WM6 Black III - or at least so far it does.

Cingular Video NOT playing

Hi guys - I can get to the cingularvideo.cingular.com web site using the proper media.net proxy settings with no problem. When I click on any "playable" link, the new HTC Realplayer app launches properly, BUT I get a message that says "Failed to connect."

I've checked my settings against the scarybear cab (I think it was "Cingular WAP MediaNET MMS Settingsv2.cab) file as well as what is actually on Cingulars website, and I have it all set properly. I did notice that the cab actually had hardcoded dns entries. It didnt' work with or without them - same error.

Any idea? Has anyone else tried launching the videos, and if so, any particular settings you had to change?

Thanks much, and YES, I did read every post. ;)

VPN

Just a (possibly) bug in this nice version: can't get VPN working anymore. Bubble disappears too fast when trying connection, like something was missing... All previous versions of black works correctly with VPN.

Anyone else can try to see if this is a common problem of all installations?

Thanks in advance and thanks to JJ for his work.

4 things

First, I do not have a problem with the keyboard fix. Works fine for me.

Second, any way we can get the HSPDA enable/disable put into the Pimp my Black app? If that is put in there seems like this app could completely replace HTweakC for those of us that use this ROM. :cool:

Third, I had the hardware problem with the BT until SR too.

Fourth, nice work. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] odie3:
Silly forums - lost my post!

Anyways - I have the BT issue too, had to SR to get it on. Since then it seems to be working okay. All other PPC programs that I use seem to work for me so far. Now to get MSN Live Messenger working again and I'll be rather happy.

PS: I sure hope BT does not become unstable - I really hated that with my Blue Angel and WM5 - it was the main reason why I stopped using WM5 on my old Blue Angel. :(

Edit:

Thought the forums ate my post, guess not now I am a double poster! CRAP!

I have the keyboard backlight issue also. Noticed that if you hit the up/down arrow keys... sometimes it lights up and sometimes it takes a few tries.. really weird..

As for bluetooth, I turned it on.. no issues. earlier I had turned it off and tried to turn it on and it wouldnt' turn on... but after a soft reset, it worked. After the soft reset, turned on/turned off/turned on.. no issues...

Found issue with themes

With Bepe's help, I have figured out what's going on with the themes in Black 3.0.

JJ included a few files in the rom itself that really needed to not be in the rom image.

stwater_240_320.gif and stwater_320_240.gif

tdywater_240_320.gif and tdywater_240_320.gif

Those are the Start Bar image and the background image respectively. However, in this case, since those four files are ROM, they can not be 'deleted' when the .tsk changes. BUT, tasks that use .jpg's work fine, as there is no *_240_320.jpg in rom. Basically, JJ needs to remove those files and put the theme back into the autorun. There's no nice way to fix it with a cab. Sorry.

Could the keyboard light problem be related to the automatic light sensor that by default comes set to on? I had this and had to turn the sensor off so that the keyboard light comes on every time I open it. That option is buried under Settings/Buttons/Backlight - see if it's check. If so, uncheck it and see if it works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] verge:
Both keyboard backlight and flashlight utility are working on mine. No certificate error and backlight comes on with first keypress after darkness is detected. No changes were made to backlight settings from the default install.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] odie3:
Thanks for that tip - my backlight is now working....

EDIT:

Ha - LMAO that is the reason, is not freaking dark enough for the Backlight to come on ATM [since it freaking daylight]. I walked into my closet and shut the door [after turning on the Auto Sensor back on] and it works as it should. Now I feel rather stupid.... ;)

You need to open Realplayer (use file explorer and open realplayer.exe in the \windows directory). In options, change connection settings from the Internet to MEdiaNet and it will work.

I know you don't need me backing you up, Elf, but just to confirm I've just tried using Resco to delete the theme problem files and they CANNOT be deleted. I also tried going in to properties and unticking "ROM" but this cannot be done either. I agree, unfortunately, I don't think this is going to be an add-on fix, it's going to mean a re-release of this excellent ROM.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GeneNZ:
Hi All,

Installed this ROM and thanks!. Very fast, but I've noticed a fairly major issue with this ROM/My Phone and the applications I install.

The problem I'm having is that every so often after installing my apps and suspending my phone, my phone will no longer turn on. Everything appears to be working (i.e. the flashing green light remains etc), but when I try to resume the phone from suspend, the phone will no longer turn on. The only way to bring it back to life is to soft reset. It is very similar to the problem that occurred with earlier beta roms where the phone wouldn't resume from suspend because there were too many flat files in the root of the the storage card. I have checked that there are not many flat files in the root of the storage card etc.

The apps I have installed are (they are all the latest versions). I have also provided where they are installed. My phone is a Softbank X01ht:

SPB Mobile Shell [Main Memory]

SPB Weather [Main Memory]

SPB Time [Main Memory]

SPB GPRS Monitor [Main Memory]

SPB Imageer [EXT Rom]

SBSH iLauncher [Main Memory]

SKTools [Main Memory]

VJTools [Main Memory]

Adobe Acrobat LE [Main Memory]

Transcriber [Main Memory]

Voice Commander [Main Memory]

Coreplayer 1.0.4 [EXT Rom]

Pocket Controller

Opera [EXT Rom]

So far I have installed the above applications, and the problem will occur every 1 in 5 times. If I install a few extra applications:

Skype [Storage card]

Astraware Bejeweled 2 [Storage card]

Pocket MSN (not Live Messenger)

The above problem will occur everytime.

I have hard reset 3 times and reproduced the problem each time. I never had this problem on Black 2.0 and Black 2.5.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silverfox0214:
No BT issues here

I flashed 3.0 earlier today. It seems to have fixed the BT issues I was having in 2.5. Comm Manager works awesome and BT survives a soft reset.

Only issue so far is when I use Pimp My Black to set "GPRS Always On", it bombs. I set everything else, including PIE Cache to SD, individually to trace to this one function. I have a HERM200 TyTN.

I did install HTweakC 2.0 to flip a few additional customizations. (runs fine from SD)

Also, JJ, for the next black, please consider turning clear type on in portrait by default. Totally makes the screen look better, or maybe toggle it in Pimp, with the default to On?

Know you're probably sleeping, but it will be excellent to have the Windows Live CAB when you get the chance. -**The CAB is now on post #2**

Otherwise, this thing flies and works awesome. Great ROM!!

Midlet Manager not working

Hi JJ,

Thanks for your good work mate.

One thing that is not working for me with Black 3.0 is the Java midlet manager, specifically with respect to Gmail 1.1.1. I get the "Installation Failed" message same as another member here.

If you can reproduce this problem and fix it before the 3.0.1 release that would be great.

A couple of other things I noticed:

1. Comm Button vibrate (press and hold) toggle does not appear to work for me with Black 3.0. Is that a feature? I installed the Toggle Vibrate fix CAB and all is well. If that's a missing feature then can that be included in 3.0.1 please or included as an additional cab (took me ages to find it using the Search feature :) )?

2. Can you include the Soft Key Applet CAB in 3.0.1. Or perhaps just add it to the optional cabs.

Thanks mate.

RE: Telstra.Cab File

I think this might be the incorrect one to install. This one doesnt include all the GPRS, MMS settings, and installs unnessicary stuff such as the media player and other things...

I think the only cabs needed from the Telstra EXT Rom is the Telstra 5.2.cab and the Myplaces CAB file. Only about 1/3 of the size of Telstra.cab listed.

The only issue i have with the Telstra 5.2 cab, is that it changes the default theme to have blue toolbars, with no way that I can see to get back the nice shiny black ones.

This toolbar issue sounds like it might be fixed with 3.0.1 anyhows, but thought i'd note about the Telstra.cab listed in post #2.

I havent got them onhand, but i know the telstra ext rom is downloadable from here somewhere.. :)

Text Messages app navigation screws up with Pimp My BLACK Pocket IE Tweak

Just a heads up, be careful when setting the "Navigate with D-pad (does not jump between hyperlinks)" option in the Pocket IE tab of the Pimp My Black app.

It messes with the navigation of the Text messaging.... symptoms include:

1) After entering a contact in the "To:" field, the pressing down on the directional pad doesn't move your cursor to the body of the message

2) When replying to a text message, the cursor starts at the bottom of the body of the text message... not at the top.

You can always work around this by just renaming the NBH file to HERMIMG.NBH, copying to an otherwise empty microSD card, and pressing the side OK button and the power button at the same time while pressing soft reset with the stylus. You'll get a direct device ROM upgrade and don't have to worry about any pesky USB issues. I do it this way every time.
