office 2k7

Yeah i saw Des post about using office 2k7. But i think he was swamped with homework. Hope you can get him to create a cab for the office 2k7. That would be sweet. Thanks Custel for your work.

yes that is correct

this is inherent problem of the hermes regardless of which BT drivers you use.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
Custel i hope this issue with office can be fixed with just a CAB and not a whole freash install. Can you tell what you have done with the memory in this rom? what i mean is it seems to manage the memory very well and does not drop like most others. if this is in fact build off the same kernel as Black 3.1-3.0 much better i believe if you can get office working.

Office 2K7 Fixed

I grabbed the files from DES and put the MCF.DLL in my windows directory. Now Office works.

Does the CUSTEL HTCustom Tweak's PIE cache work ok? I'm wondering because CUSTEL posted a separate CAB for PIE Cache.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Gator5000e:
I am also wondering if part of the problem is the Comm Manager. I have the same problem on occasion when trying to enable WiFi via the Comm Manager (I use the extended Black version). If I enable WiFi via the 3G icon, it enables fine. If I soft reset, I can usually get WiFi to enable. Just a thought.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
I have no idea if this will work but custel seemed to think it important to add this here as a cab file for some folks...

I've been lurking here for quite a while. And have likely flashed my Hermes with just about every ROM that has been cooked here. The fix does indeed correct the office issue. All the office programs open without a hitch now. Well Done!

if you use WM VI Black Memory.cab with Custel's rom it gives you 32+ MB free on Program Memory i uploaded the file if you want to give it a try

Thanks for great work.

I wonder is there a way in phone application to get rid of this list in the middle that shows all my contacts? Previous versions didn't have it. Is it just a dialer skin?

Thanks for help

FYI, for those that use PIM Backup to backup/restore when flashing, there is a new version available. get version 1.9 at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299705

BTW, PIM Backup is *freeware* and highly reccomended (at least by me).

quite useful when upgrading to this ROM

BTW, can you watch YouTube videos with the Flash Player in this rom?

Applications not appearing until soft reset

Have just in stalled Custel 2.0 plus patches and have found then when installing spbDairy and spbMobileshell that they didnt appear on the today screen or in the list until a soft reset was done. have tried many other roms ( just flashed from Black 3.01 and have not seen this before, they normally appear instantly. Any suggestions

Rom: Custel 2.0

Radio: 1.40.30.00

SPL: Olipro 2.10

Hi.

Congratulations Custel for this great version.

One question. Keyboard support is for fisical kb or software kb? I'll love support for soft kb to not install Resco Keyboard, cause hard kb is now allowed by the CAB provided by VivaErBetis.

Thanks.

Just installed this and no issues so far, just a small question - is there any way to enable the WM6 dialler background and buttons with video call enabled as I am getting what I believe is the WM5 dialler screen/background and buttons.

Otherwise - excellent!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
Unfortunately

unfortunately its either or neither you can get the wm6 dialer but you will lose the video call button and vice versal you get the video call option and lose the wm6 dialer

#You can do this through htcustom

Came from Black 3.01. The bluetooth headset issue forced me to try another ROM. This one is great!

I installed Tomtom 5.21. Now Tomtom says my devicecode (in Dutch 'apparaatcode') is changed. Tomtom allows only one change in 6 month. The last change was the first use of my device, less than 6 month ago. Offcourse I've sent a question to Tomtom, but I wonder if I did something wrong? :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
No, this ROM has still the TomTom DeviceID bug! :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nispen:
Ignore

Deleted. Sorry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] PeLa:
Bug? So, so there is nothing I can do about it, beside asking Tomtom to change the deviceID?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 100Tbps:
I think I figured this out. Go into Start, Settings, then choose the System tab and About. There's a tab there for device ID. You can manually make this whatever you want.

When you originally set up your phone and activesync partnership, it probably changed from Pocket_PC to WM_username where "username" is your Windows logon. During these flashes, I've seen a a few different things in there. I think I saw HTC_TYTN and at least one other name in field right after a new ROM flashing. Before installing anything, I simply change it to WM_username (again, username is whatever your windows logon is) because this is what I had when I first registered TomTom. In the past few days, I've been on Black 2.5, 3.0.1, one of LVSW's ROMs, and this one. At no time did I need to contact TomTom for a new code. You might even be able to change it after installing TomTom if TomTom complained about the code. Just be sure to disconnect the phone from activesync, delete the activesync partnership, change the ID in the phone to what you think it should be from the FIRST time you registered with TomTom, and try your map access again.

Maybe some else can confirm this?

Feedback

Tried out the standard rom this morning but have flashed back to black.

the deal breaker for me was that I could not send texts. I assume it is something to do with my setup cab that incorporates the Orange voicemail fix.

It just told me that my text message could not be sent.

Reflashed to black using the same cabs and steps and can text again. Very odd.

Has anyone applied that fix and had SMS continue to work?

Only other comments were style preferences - the black 3G dialler etc and themes just suit me better.(purely subjective stuff so not important)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lordsmiff:
As I understand it, the TomTom device ID is not the same thing - it must use some kind of hash comprised of different things on the system to generate it. Problem is, if you change your code now, when the problem is resolved in the future, you will need to go back again and unless you've made a note of the previous one, you'll have to wait 6 months before TomTom will let you change it again.

Did that make sense? :)

Smiffy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] PeLa:
Been on WMXL, several Black version, Dutty's and LVSW. This is the first time Tomtom complains.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 100Tbps:
I understand and agree. I believed it to be a combination of the IMEI + configurable Device ID. My point is if no one is paying attention to what the configurable Device ID is and the default changes from ROM to ROM, one of the two components is changing and it's one we can control. The problem may be very easily solved if closer attention was paid to the configurable Device ID since the IMEI number should remain the same after flashing.

I doubt Windows is changing the hashing algorithm between releases unless they're specifically doing it to prevent what we're all doing.

At any rate, I have yet to need another TomTom code since I've been paying strict attention to the configurable Device ID. I'm curious if anyone else has paid attention to this field or simply synced right away and leveraged a different activesync partnership name each time.

Hermes just rocks

It's good to see some of the tension eased up a bit. Custel, Black or any of the other roms, just putting out the best rom available for the Hermes. Yes both will have its own specific customizations or geared towards certain crowds such as the Asia rom.

It's all good -- the Hermes just rocks (pretty much all HTC's rock)

thanks to you both and everyone else thats helps enhance the roms.

To update, while that cab file (the .dll) fixes the issue with office apps not opening, the problem remains you can't save with the default file extention of .docx. Something is improperly setting the default file extentions. Or something might be messed up with the open XML spec stuff... I'm looking at it but it'll help if someone could verify this works on tripledes's rom...

EDIT: This is in reference to word... The onenote bug of not being able to delete once created also exists in this version (same as tripledes's).

Tomtom 5.21

With all the other ROM's (why am I doing that??? :confused: ) never had a problem with Tomtom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
ok so the issue with onenote I do note have when I install the one that I have on my desktop. I have the whole office 2007 on my desk top and when I sync it asks me if I want to install onenote. wth that version I can delete the notes and have no isues.

with the office apps in the rom these are the issues I have

-can note save word docx period hell I can even change it to a regular dox so this is a huge deal breaker since it makes these apps pointless.

-onenote will not delete notes(yes its a known bug) can not tke a picture using the take picture option in onenote it says file already exists

as soon as I get home I'll post the version number and the files it installs on my phone. also im sure some place inside onenote on my laptop lies the cab that the onenote on my desktop installs I'll try and dig that out also.

Tomtom issue

Re tomtom..

This is To reset your device id with TomTom you should go to www.tomtom.com and log in to your "My TomTom" account.

Now click on "My Traffic" and click the "Reset Account" button.

Next click on "Select My Device" at the top of the “My TomTom” menu.

At the bottom of this page is a box to enter your device id. Find it by following the instructions here, make sure it is correct and click Save.

This is from another thread with issues with device id, don't know if it helps.

Sorry, humble apologies, have just looked at the thread & am sure you have already done this.....

Office Mobile

Question in regards to office Mobile. I am currently very happy with Custel Cingular Black 2.0 Vanilla, not sure whether i should take jump to this ROM. What are the improvements from this version of Office Mobile over the one on Custel Black 2.0? Is it mainly that this version of office can read documents created with Office 2007 or are there other improvements?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
as of right now there are no improvments with office its pretty much not working at this time :rolleyes:

I think it has something to do with the DLL's and not the exe because since i loaded my version of onenote your version works fine also now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] armedmetallica:
I too am having the CallerId problem.. and have SPB Phone suite and SPB Mobile Shell installed.

I'm guessing this is something with Phone Suite. Which, BTW worked fine in the previous 1.3v by Custel.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] idee2000:
That's a known SPB Mobile Suite bug. Uninstall and all should be back to normal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
well i took all the office files from DES and cooked them into a new rom so i'll let you know how that works also cooked in my dll for onenote
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] armedmetallica:
It worked perfectly in custel's v.1.3 release and intermittenly on this ROM. I don't kow what I did to make it go away again, but it WAS working a little while after I posted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
mine works for a little while after a reboot... i hate to lose this app. Its' nice to have the missed call/sms/email/voicemail count on my today screen... hopefully Custel will have a suggestion.

Contact Mighty Slow

Great ROM which, in all honesty, could have used a little more time in the oven. Without argument light years better than anything which could ever come out of my kitchen, so I'm not hummin' rocks. Just sayin'....

That aside: Anyone else have a VERY SLOW Contacts? I click it. I wait. The little search bar pops up on the screen - leaving the rest of the Today screen visible. I wait. The rest pops up. I wait. The soft buttons at the bottom finally disappear.

Am I alone here?

J
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
your alone there! I think its one of the fastest out to date i believe its the same kernel as black so its pretty much the same thing deep inside. Only issue is the Office apps... hope my dll helped sort that out a little Custel do you have an ETA on when you think you will have this fixed? IS it going to be a cab or a complete flash?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nispen:
Dont have that -- strange. Have you tried the tweaking prog ? Does increasing the glyphcache (whatever that may be) help you any?

This ROM seems really fast to me. Installing the dll posted in an earlier post fixed the office prob. So it is pretty perfect. Just my 2 cents of course.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] IronManDS:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bad mouthin' Custel or his ROM. If I didn't have the issue, I would have never brought it up. And, overall, this is the fastest ROM I've had on my 8525 and I've had 'em all since Kypher's initial release. But, I experienced the same slow contacts situation with Black 3.0 and 3.0.1. Never had that happen before Black 3.0. So, you're statement that they're based off the same build makes sense.

All and all, I tend to like Custel's ROM's best and tend to stick with them. But, I do try them all. Here's hoping this one gets the fixes it needs.

I haven't tried any performance tweaks, but will try out a few and report back.

J
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Initial load of contacts will be slow but every time thereafter should be fast just like all other roms.

For all of those that hate reflashing I apologize, I will be releasing a v2.5 in a couple hours with a new kernel and working office :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
incorrect, CUSTEL's ROM is based on the DOPOD test rom, ie. same build and kernel as it and LVSW's ROM

My rom is based on a newer kernel 5.2.1238 and build 17743.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
correct, my v2.5 will have a newer kernel then black 3.0 but the same os build that it currently has.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
hope you two have worked out your issues! custel if you use the dll i posted in the zip above onenote will work properly... I know its a lower build but the dll is of a larger size maybe it has something that yours was missing since onenote is working perfect on my hermes now hopefully you will have the office issue worked out in 2.5! I ****ing can't wait im ready to flash baby!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Well unless the word 2k7 issue magically resolves itself with the insufficient memory error when trying to save a file then it wont be in v2.5 :( I can't figure out what the hell is causing it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DAFTEK:
lol When you released v2.0 i just had finished getting Black 3.01 setup perfect, then i went and tried your 2.0 and i just finished setting this one perfectly, now you want me to do this all over again with 2.5? Bring it on Custel :D So far i really have no problems except the mentioned office bug and overall this thing is solid even with GoodMobile running..... Good work man, i hope you don't move to a for profit forum :rolleyes: and keep your good work here on xda ;)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
Looks like the existing office issue CAN be fixed with a few registry additions, after exhausting looking for a issue I ran a grep on the sum of triple's rom and our's for DOCX and found the default.hv file being the biggest difference. CUSTEL is working on this, although I believe the 2.5 rom with a new kernel is on it's way still also... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 100Tbps:
This is evident from the fact their servers are crashing under simple HTML loading. I imagine it will be some time before anyone can actually download your ~50MB new ROM if that's the only place it gets posted - unless of course the "server upgrade" happens pretty soon. That sucks, because you're a gifted engineer and many, many people (myself included) are looking forward to seeing your next set of innovations.

Hats off to you and Custel. While you guys take this hobby perhaps a bit too personally, the rest of us are absolutely benefitting from the ingenuity you both have. I appreciate your combined efforts and hope you reconsider your relocation.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcg:
It's not a problem if the ROM is initially hosted on 4winmobile. The file will eventually make its way to Rapidshare, and a link will probably be posted here.

But besides that, I don't think 4winmobile plans to use its bandwidth for the ROM... I think they're considering using Rapidshare as well.
