Standard Custel 2.5

@Custel

I've been reading the thread but remain confused as to what this next version fixes compared to 2.5 Standard with BBConnect which I downloaded yesterday.

Any update on the ETA? Don't mean to be a pest, but being the weekend, I have some time for flashin'
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lungbutter:
That's odd. I do. Are you using the pay service or the free service?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
I use the 2/mo service, the fixed versions will be up by 11pm CST

Thanks for all your hard work, looking forward to the next release.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Thank you sir, much appreciated :)

There was an error, well typo on my part in the aku hit 2.1 instead of 2.3 so bbconnect will be working in fixed version this is why I removed the cingular as well. I am uploading the cingular version now, have not had a chance to troubleshoot the standard yet but am going to try something with the cing version that will probably work as a "standard" version.

Flash the rom normally, then soft reset before customization (you have 3 seconds to do so)

Any chance you could add ISP to the Cingular version?

Standard Version Issues

I flashed V2.5 Standard (5/18/2007 version) this AM and did have some connection issues. I used a MediaNet CAB to install Cingy settings but couldn't get any web pages to load through PIE (verified the setting were correct, also set up ISP connection manually). I didn't try the disable proxy CAB figuring I didn't need it to run PIE in the Standard version (probably should have tried it). Also, when launching PIE the data connect bubble never appears and PIE just seems to hang. I tried setting the data connection to "always on" via HT Tweak, the connection then is established but still no web pages load to PIE. Should have tried some non-PIE apps, but ran out of testing time.

Finally, I couldn't uncheck the Advanced Network functionality in the USB to PC network settings.

Had to revert back to Black, hope the new Standard you are working on fixes above issues.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cpz21:
If you still need a tester, I'll do it.

One more thing to report, v2.5 does not show "E" (EDGE) icon anymore, even in EDGE area, Only G icon is shown. Tried the registry tweak, no success. Anyone else have this issue?

Whew... trying to keep up here. I'm glad you got the BBC version up. It's working great and this is the first time I've used BBC with WM6. Since I'm on Cingy in the US, your ROMs make the most sense to me as far as features and support go. Thanks CUSTEL!

One issue I've found and I didn't see any mention of it - in this thread anyway. I put this ROM on my HTC TyTN and since it has the front video camera, I tried to get video dialing working (no reason other than I like a challenge, can't use video calling in the US on Cingy anyway).

Any time I try to enable video dialing and soft reset, it hangs on the HTC boot screen just after the version numbers go away. Anyone else tried this or experience this? I've tied turning off the phone skin, enabling 3G dialer via registry, even tried installing the WM6 3G/Video skins from Zombienexus. Nothin' seems to work? Not too important, just bugs me when things don't go according to plan. ;)

Cheers.

I just installed new Standard 2.5 and a few observations:

1. I can now set up My ISP (Cingular)...still dont understand why the Cingular version doesnt work

2. Extended Rom is unlocked by default

3. WiFi-

a. if I go into Com Mgr and select Wifi it wont connect- I have to go into settings and select network manually.

b. cannot disconnect from top menu bar, I have to go back into Comm Mgr to disconnect

Standard 2.5 BBC - Workin Good

:D

I'm a happy camper...all apps and settings working well. A few notes below for Custel, Shadowmite and others...

1. MediaNet settings CAB and manual additions all took and are working

2. PIE works properly, connects when app launched, no proxy needed

3. Wifi activates from Comm Manager, WEP key/ security settings all work

4. Advanced network functionality unchecks in HT Custom

5. ExtROM not exposed by default, activated correctly through HT Custom

6. Edge icon (E) visible (not stuck on G)

7. I like the shaded/customized onscreen keyboard!!

8. Unexpected Benefit: after getting all my stuff installed, I ran SPB Backup V1.6 and couldn't believe it completed in less than 2 MINUTES!! All previous WM6 backups have been running like 20 Minutes...Something got seriously tuned!!!

Tomorrow I'll spend some more time testing other goodies that came with the ROM as well as my BT headset.

Great Job on this fix/ version!!!

Upgrade worked very well... thanks Custel

I am Mac user and hence have been forced back into syncing with Windows XP (using Parallels ofcourse).

One issue, I have been unable to get the device post update (CUSTEL 2.5) to sync with Vista. Vista recognizes this device as a music player :(... no option to sync with Outlook or the contacts and calendar apps that come built into Vista.

Ideas/help???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pvs:
All I can say is "WOW"

Custel,

I just wanted to let you (and the forum) know my experience with the BT in this ROM. I have tried my Bluespoon Spider headset using WMP, the HTC Audio Manager, and a WinAmPAQ player that I DLd that had Shogunmark's name on it, and I have found the quality to be vastly improved over what I was getting from Black 2.0. The high-frequency distortion has been reduced amazingly! I'm getting virtually skip-free performance even though I'm browsing the web and receieving messages as I write this...while listening!

This in itself is worth my donation!

FWIW, I went the entire weekend with a bare-minimum of installed apps. But I loaded up slowly over the day yesterday, and this ROM has taken it all, and is behaving very nicely.

I am using the 2.5 Cingular one that was tweaked by Shadowmite last Friday nite.

SO COOL, sir. Thank you.

Great Battery Life

I’m not one to say "good job" but I have to say this is the best one yet. I used to get 10-12 hours of battery life. With prior ROMs I would get home from work and the battery would be around 20%. Now when I get home I am at 70%. Same apps, same usage but better battery life. Great work.

Question: Was this achieved through the OS build or through registry tweaks? I have the same push email, consistently use the phone and Bluetooth.

Thanks Custel!

First off, love the ROM, have been running the Cingular one since the day it was posted.

one MINOR annoyance tho. First, the X will not close the Phone application, I have to either do Windows>Today, or it the END CALL button, not a big deal.

but in the Phone app, everything is normal before i make a call, but once i end a call the screen in the Phone Application goes a little crazy everytime. i attatched before call and after call screenshots. any ideas? anyone else have this problem. like i said, im runnin the original Cingular version of Custel 2.5 that was posted. on TyTN. hard reset already tried with no fix.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] taskmaster:
Hi,

I currently have CUSTEL 2.5 rom, great stuff and radio 1.41.00.1. Previously had Black 3.0 and the same radio - the battery life when using 3G and HSDPA is very poor, so, I wanted to try 1.40.30, but I get a problem when I run the update program from the WIKI.

When I run the 1.40.30 Radio update I got an error message on the first screen when I press AutoDetect. The message says "Error, Unknown version! You should pick SSPL".

Now, I do have .NET 3 and also Hard SLP 7, and previously the radio upgrades worked just fine.

Should I do as it suggests and select Force SSPL or is the update program asking me to do something else?

Any ideas, what I might be missing/misunderstanding, or any workarounds?

Thanks guys.

After the new lvsw and legolas version failed me miserably as in speed, I decided to try this one out and was positively surprised.

Just one tiny question, oh why oh why does the dial theme have to be blue? I hate blue, I get shivers of blue, it makes me blue. I love blues, but I feel like having a viagra overdoze when using the dial pad. I start to keep looking over my shoulders just to see if there are smurfs around me.

Some fancy blackish dial pad would rok. And yes, I know there are plenty of those available, just pondering why one wasn't included with this rom (or then I have problems).

Anyhoo, I think most of us know we're taking a chance when stuff is released. I would rather custel spend his energies on fixing the stuff we ALL find, than look for all the stuff himself.

That being said, I hate the bastard! hehe. I've lost sleep, work hours, and other wholesome activities -- all because of this addiction. And I will beg for more.

Most of us take this w. a grain of salt, and know that we can revert back to the (last) stable rom if we don't like the latest. The ones that don't know are the noobs that don't read anyways. So, I say, it's poetic justice.

This happened to a friend of mine too. It turned out that his copy of Vista did not come with the Vista sync program installed (its no longer called ActiveSync but --- I forget -- somebody help: oh yeah I remember: Mobile Device Center MDC). Vista just saw a music player. Then, after a while, the auto update function of Vista downloaded and installed MDC and the device was properly recognized.

You can also manually download MDC. Do a search on microsoft.com.

BT Woes

Hi all!

I'm not sure if it's my Hermes (Cingular8525) or the ROM (Custel's Latest). But when I use my BT headset, the battery drops way too fast, like 5 phone calls of about 7 mins each dropped it to below 30%. I used to use black and it didn't drop the batt that low using a bt headset. The BT headset I've tried are Jabra BT250 and BT800. Both with the same effects. Just thought I'd bring it up. :)

No issues here. Have you tried a hard reset to see if the problem goes away? What other apps are installed?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] armedmetallica:
I echo this concern. Over the weekend, I was in the car, driving for 4 hrs, and each way, by the time I got ot my destination - battery had dropped down to about 40%. Used the phone for very short conversations - approximately 5 or 6 times.

However, I did have SPB Mobile shell set to "update" weather automatically. Also along the route there were more areas of 3G than not.

I disabled the auto weather update, seemed to have helped, BUT, I haven't attempted the trip again. I am convinced that the update is the thing that's causing this. I will try a few combinations and report back.
