Please delete this Thread Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
Great work Sleuth, will try soon, thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zbee:
any chance of an unpaked version, as i like to recook mine;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
Sleuth dude, you are a bad, bad man.

I finally get the phone how I like it, and now you tempt me with another developer version...

Well, I downloaded it, now to see how long I can resist flashing it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
As a great contributor to XDA community, would you mind to hexedit the version to 5.1.195 ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Most excellent. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcespi2005:

Wifi issues

Thank you for the release! However, I'm having Wifi troubles and I was wondering if there were any changes made regarding this issue from the LSVW release. I'm experiencing quirky behavior where the a certain network would be available for connect and when attempting to connect, that network suddenly becomes unavailable on the device. It's a strange behavior.

UPDATE: After doing a clean reinstall, I found that the Wifi problems I had before is gone. Everything seems stable (BT, Wifi, GPRS all seem to work well with no drops or problems). It seems like a clean slick build. I have the usual problem of Messaging menu disappearing when I click the REPLY button to either an email or txt but this is consistent with all of the other cooked roms I have encountered. Overall, it's a very nice build. Thank you again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Well, I tested this ROM pretty extensively on my 802.11G network here. I remained connected for well over an hour until I terminated the test. I was using a Linksys WRT54GX2 access point.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Well, its a developer ROM so I'm afraid I need to leave the version alone. Developers working with this ROM may build code that depends on the major/minor version numbers being correct. This is a major update to WM6 IMO and the versioning is what distinguishes it to an application.

Just open the exe with WINRAR and extract ruusigned.nbh. You can strip out os.nb with pof's nbhextract.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zbee:
tried that but get the divide error, if its possible to have the windows.nb b4 tadzio is used onit, for me i remove all the unnecsary windows junk such as the music stuf window live pdf powerpoint etc, as i only need a very bare bones os;)...lvsw is the best as far as im concerned but i lik to recook the os
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I only cook with tadzio's tools. I didn't think that caused an issue with re-extracting tho. I'm checking it now... I'll post os.nb if this is the case.

edit:

worked great. I extracted ruu_signed.nbh using WinRAR v3.50 then pulled os.nb and the splash screens using pof's original nbhextract v1.0.

Don't use OliPro's nbdump program as it'll blow up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simon1219:
Any alternative download link? I'm can't download from rapidshare.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zbee:
im using koch to remove files from the os.nb, but when it tries to dump the nb file it gives an divide by zero error...evry thing else runs fine
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
better alert dutty ;) ITMT, just download pof's nbhextract and use that to get os.nb.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zbee:
seems i cant rextract it once its been run thru tadzios...both app extract the nbh fine just cant extract the resultant nb though, as thats what i want to play with
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
ahhh... got it.

Don't know if I can help you right away then b/c my "kitchen stove" is tadzio's toolset. :(

maybe you can use his stuff to create your initial imgfs dump directory...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zbee:
ok the prob is when its repaked using tadzios it comprresses the files so that it cant be reopened for some reason is it possible for you to post the os then see if it can be unpaked so i can do my changes please;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
mine would only be packed; I don't even think I have the original any more. You can obtain the original stuff from lvsw's thread. Somebody mirrored the original CE 5.2.1413 ROM there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zbee:
ta muchly will have a wander there cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oliy:
Sleuth, you mentioned that you can stream bluetooth stereo in a power saving mode - does this mean you can press the power button and bluetooth audio will still work? I had this on my Wizard but never managed to find out how to get it to work on my Hermes.

If so, is this allowed by a registry setting, bluetooth drivers, kernel itself?

Thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bodypilot:
Nice mirror - thanks dude
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
You noticed :) That's exactly what I mean! I'm not sure if it's kernel, drivers or a combination. I haven't been able to do this since I had my wizard also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oliy:
I notice you are a bit of a stereo bluetooth afficionado like myself. If you find out how or some method which enables it, please don't hesitate to publish it. I am currently on Black 3.0 and don't have the technical knowledge (rather, the time to learn it all just now - my degree finals are in one week!) to adapt your developer version to what I want so would rather have a quick fix if you ever find one!

Thanks for your hard work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kmd606:
Installed your variant LVSW Rom last night. Battery life seems good. However, does not seem to be as quick and responsive as the original 05-05 LVSW Release. I have to wait while switching programs or opening emails, which was not the case with the 05-05.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I lowered the GlyphCache registry value to maximize storage memory which is probably why. Try setting it back to 32,768 and report back plz!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kikouyou:
Hi Sleuth

I am just done with tuning all my settings on 5/5

Do you think I could restore it with SPBbackup 1.6 on your build?

I may try that later

Meanwhile,

could you pls post your ipdialplan as I failed to edit mine...

I think that changing the area code is in the range of what I can do!

Thanks much!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kmd606:
did as you mentioned - much quicker. thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
BBConnect?

Looking at Black's latest rom release notes, he mentions that he had to:

HEX Edit the Build and Kernels to: 5.1.195 (17743.2.3.0) to enable BBconnect and Goodlink compatability.

Anyone know if BBConnect will work with this new build? I am keen on trying it but need blackberry support.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Sorry, BBConnect won't work on this build.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Here you go.

No ring or mobile clicks after upgrade

pls after I upgrade yours it looks fantastic but the phone will not ring, only vibrate and no sound through all programs windows mdeia ..etc.

when I make a call I can hear the others.

Pls help
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] caveman_78:
Is the fastest ROM I've ever used, thanks Sleuth.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
@hadian: ok, so you have no sounds at all. This includes ringtones, notifications etc... This certainly isn't a problem with this ROM. Try a hard reset then test for sounds on the initial today screen that is displayed right after tapping on the last setup screen which says "tap anywhere to begin using your device". Do this by calling your hermes from another phone. If you don't get the default WM6 ringtone, please post the device you're using.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] philg2000:
Really sorry if this is stated elsewhere, but I have searched this thread and the orginal one for "Compressed".

Are the exe's compressed in LVSW's ROM on which this is based? If so, I'll give this a go.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
The short answer to this is no
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hadian:
Dear Sleuth,

I tried the Hard Reset and still without sounds,

What do you mean by post the device you're using

what can I do ?

Thanks man
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
There is a thread somewhere that tells how to compress the executables that make up a ROM to gain even more space... I'm a bit leery of this though because uncompressing at startup may slow things down alot...

lvsw's ROMs are not compressed either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Are you using a TyTN, Wizard, MDA II or what?

It's always a good idea to set up your signature so that it gives info about the device you have and what's running on it. See my sig for an example of this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guapinoy:
sleuth, what program are you using to stream a2dp bluetooth? I tried winmplayer and mortplayer 3.31 rc7 and can't get it to work in power save mode...did you do any additional reg hacks? I downloaded your rom installing nothing but mort player and it didn't work. I have a Cing 8525.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I used GSPlayer. First time too since I was investigating the cause of an "invalid URL" issue when I was trying to stream over 3G (this issue first cropped up in the previous lvsw ROM).

I never thought to test if it was the player that was doing it!

Hang on and I'll test it again...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Damn! I can't duplicate the results. I feel like Ponz & Fleishman ;)

This reminds me of the 3G VoIP solution.... I'm about 3 iterations past this release and when I tested I was running on a descendant of this that had ClearVue deleted and glyphcache at 16meg.

Let me work on this. ITMT I'll update post 1. Thanks for the heads up!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
I had the "Invalid URL" or "you are not connected to the network" 9 times out of 10. I found that Pocket Player does the best streaming for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hadian:
I am using HTC TyTN , with SPL 2.10.Olipro , and CE OS 5.2.1413 Build 17741.0.2.1 (lvsw derivative...), Radio v1.41.30.00

So I have differances than you in

SPL and Radio

what to do dear Sleuth :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marscandybars:
Im confused, i downloaded the file the first day u put it up. The GlypchCache was already 32,768

Is there any other way to edit it? I went to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
just to be completely clear, you went to that registry key and the value is currently 32,768?

Well, if so, then you do not need to edit it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
It's actually HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\Limit. GLYPHCACHE itself is a key, not a value. I wonder if this can be automatically changed by some application or WM6 itself.... :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hadian:
Sluth

Man can you help Re the Sounds , the speakers are not working

I can hear the callers sounds or if I put the headset I can hear also

But No rings at all or Notifications

thanx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
I do not have links handy, but if you'll search this forum a bit, you'll find out that this was previously discussed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
@hadian: I'm using an 8525 for my testing& have not tested this on a TyTN. It should work without problems though. Are you sure you're telling me everything? Because if you are, your hardware is defective. As a long shot, I'll try this too though just to be sure:

@Anybody using this ROM with a TyTN: are your sounds working? Plz post!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] caveman_78:
I have y TyTn and all sounds works ok, but I've disabled event sounds because they are annoying me.

The only thing that worse works for me is the bluetooth, with the "stable" kernel I don't had ramdon disconnections, but on this kernel I have two or three disconnections a day with my parrot car hands-free.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
Which kernel are you referring to, when you say "this kernel" ?

Because sleuth used 5.2.1413, but lvsw 20070423 you have in your .sig ( as well as 20070507 ) is 5.2.1236

Thanks !

Google in Windows Live search hack

hey is there any way to fix this issue. I recently installed opera, and now the google hacked windows live box on the today screen no longer works. Does anyone have the cab for redoing the google hack? Or is it completely no compatible with opera. I have opera set as my default web browser.

When i try to use the search box in the search engine i get this:

The file 'http://google.com/pda?hi=en&q=Live%u0020Search' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its coponents cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file

Any thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
It's running the google hack but opera doesn't seem to be able to handle the URL. Live search may have IE hardcoded somewhere. If you want to try setting it back to the live search default, check the Wiki under Hermes Registry tweaks for the URL to use.

Battery Issue

ok so i use batteryStatus to look at the mA that are used in each rom. I know this may not be the most percise tool there is but hey its what i use for all. with this ROM the numbers are about 100 percent higher even while at idle. its strange because if you use task manager nothing seems to be using that many resources. I'm very suprized no one has said anything about the battery issue
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I'm happy to speak about the battery issue. I conducted side by side tests of this rom running on my 8525 and my TyTN running lvsw 042307. Both devices have radio 1.40.30.00 loaded and are running direct push email to the same exchange account. Both devices also have bluetooth enabled.

Settings on both were powersave at 3 minutes, backlight off at 4 minutes (effectively eliminating the backlight off feature)

I ran them both until they threw the low battery warning.

My 8525 running this ROM consistently lasts about 10-20% longer than my TyTN. In fact, these results are so skewed that I'm exchanging batteries in the two devices and re-running the test as I write this. I can't believe that this ROM is that much more efficient than 042307.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BUMP THAT:
Thats amazing! Please post you test results after the battery swap. If the results are the same then I just may go to this ROM. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
It'll be about 24 more hours before I know but I personally think that it has to be the batteries....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] goestoeleven:
I'd bet on the batteries, too. I've recently switched from my original 1350mA battery to a spare 1300mA replacement, and I'm amazed at the improvement in the new battery's life -- I didn't realize how much the original battery seems to have degraded since last August...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
And if it isn't are you going to swap ROMs and try again?

Just to cover the naysayer's bases? (not to mention our own curiousity)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
have you tried any type of battery test? such as battery statues?

hell for that matter if you have two phones load the custel or black rom and then yours on the other and then open Task Manger 2.7 the app that looks like a little mini hermes with a green screen im sure you know the one. if you look at the CPU usage you will notice that LSVW's(your ROM) will have a lot more processes that are sucking juice at one time. with custel or black the only thing that run is the task manager its self or activesync if you have it running for push email. I'm in no way at all saying your ROM is bad because it is! BAD ASS that is... but from what i have seen it sucks both the batterys i have dry super super fast

Just bringing my Hermes back from sleep i normaly see it using 56mA sometimes even less once i saw it all the way down to 15 believe it or not.

Sleuth's ROM kernel: 5.2.1413
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hadian:
Yes I am sure of the details, it is the problem of the speakers I can hear from headset or the callers but not in the speaker ON ..etc.

Do you think if I downgrade to the old ROM I can get some good result, and if yes , How can I go downgrade and to which ROM you suggest.

Thanx Man
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I'm using an empirical test because I believe that something about this kernel is throwing off taskmanager programs. I'm getting 1-3 days out of this ROM with normal use on a charge. Currently I'm running a battery test with my TyTN with the batteries switched and it appears that the TyTN is now doing better so the 10-20% diff is related to the 8525's newer battery.

I'm reminded of a time when a friend and I were boating on Lake Michigan at night coming into the poorly marked Rubble gap in heavy seas. My friend, who was driving, was using the (now outdated) Loran to come in. I otoh, used my eyes and quickly spotted the gap light to our left.

An argument ensued with my friend pointing out that the loran showed it dead ahead. Finally I got him to look up and he saw the light too. We avoided the rocks.

The problem was an idiosyncrasy of the Loran system: its thrown off by land variations so its accuracy decreases as you move toward the shore.

What did I learn from this? Don't always trust your instruments. When I decided to go back to this kernel I realized that something unusual was happening after reading the LVSW thread. My testing has been real-world for this reason.

What I immediately determined by switching devices was that I was still getting 1-3 days of normal use and 6-8 hours of heavy use (surfing, taking notes with BT keyboard, WiFi connected using VoIP).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] si124:
I have used this ROM last week. I am very happy with it. It is very fast and stable.

I have one problem with videocall. I can't switch videocall option to on. I have always default WM6 dialler without videocall.

Any solution?

Thanks for help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
You will have to manually load the videocall capable phone skin. This because I disabled all the startup customizations. I'm not sure where its located or I'd post a link for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
Interesting ... so you are saying that this ROM does not work for you. And you are having more BT disconnects than on "stable" ROM. And the "stable" one was 20070423 ?

@Sleuth255 - what do you think about this ? I was under impression that BT stability is the key of this ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I've not experienced disconnects. BT has been very stable for me on this ROM.

However, I don't have a Parrot carkit nor do I own an Audi. Owners of both suffered from the first round of new WM6 releases.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
No Audi, nor even a carkit :confused: I think you should increase the size of the PayPal button in your .sig immediately :D

Most likely. I just hope MS left the hardest part for last and is hard at work fixing the stack. For me right now, unreliable BT is the last thing making 8525 not exactly the device I was thinking I'm buying.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
btw: I'm working on a new release that's still based on the 5.2.1413 kernel and WM6 AKU 0.2.1. It features Mobile Office 2K7 and HTC x-button v1.5. I've also removed that pos pdf viewer ClearVue. I'm testing the build now.

Check post 1 periodically for the update ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
I'm sure you are aware and testing this, but just in case - few folks had issues with it on lvsw and black ROMs - today screen would not get updated after changes, icons would disappear, SPB plugins font color would change to black and hard to read and it wouldn't even show it's own menu sometimes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tco:
is this becoming the "sleuth225 ROM"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I'm aware of the X-Button reports but haven't personally uncovered them. I'm actually wondering if it works better with this kernel. At any rate, disabling the today screen X button will correct the reported issues and it'll work like the older X-Button.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
Try this site for all the skins one may want. ( thnx to shogunmark for pointer )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Damn.... nice link :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Not to be a wet blanket, but in my experience it's pretty bad on this kernel even with the Today X-button disabled. Tried cooking it in and had major problems. Hung the device on initial start, often on a SR and random lockups in between. Office Mobile 2007 from 3Des' ROM seems to have some issues as well (OneNote in particular, as noted in the 3Des thread). I ended up removing it, too, but I could have screwed up the cooking somehow.

Interested to hear if you have better luck with those two.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
hmmm... I've not seen the issues you describe. I've had zero SR lockups so far with this build.

Read v1.1 release notes in post 1 for known issues. Office 2K7 is a beta release and OneNote has issues for sure but I've included it so developers can see what M$ is up to. Excel is also a bit quirky (2 minor bugs)...
