[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Here's a tweaked developer version of lvsw's CE 5.2.1413 Build 17913.0.3.0 ROM :D

note: this ROM is an advanced graft containing XIP components from Hermes, Universal and Wizard WM6 builds and as such is unique to XDA Developers. M$ has not released these components all in one place for Hermes yet. Some confusion has come up surrounding this when Shadowmite noticed that coredll.dll was reporting a different CE build than what was being shown in settings->about. Its no fake. This Rom's Universal base components are reporting CE 5.2.1413 there.

Now to my stuff. I'm an imgfs chef, so I've improved the GUI a bit...

v1.0 of this ROM includes:

Everything in lvsw's base ROM

GLYPHCACHE limt re-optimized at 32,768

Mobile Office 2K7

My ATI Imageon patch cooked in

HTC X-Button v1.5 cooked into the base ROM

Windows Live cooked into the base ROM

4MB Paging File

Big Storage

A2DP optimized for highest Fidelity (A2DP patch is not included).

additional apps: GSFinder+, DotFred's Taskmgr, PHM Regedit, SIPChange, Austinboy's Fieldtest

VoIP optimizatons: dialplan normalized for US calling (default areacode is 262 on 7 digit calls), connect over 3G as well as WiFi enabled

Live Search today plugin is set to use Google and works just fine when spaces are part of the search term

can toggle the phone skin between Video and Non-video modes using lsvw's TweakUI program

There are massive Bluetooth stack improvements in the build. The "Invalid URL" issue when streaming music over 3G has been fixed. And, you really can stream audio from 3G to A2DP while in powersave mode on this ROM. :eek:

As always, because its targeted at developers, this version has the Extrom hidden and all customizations are disabled on initial start.

Free storage memory is about 49MB and free program memory is 29MB. Displayed Today screen items have been reduced and re-ordered in this manner (note: the additional plugins are still present, just unchecked in Today settings):

Date

Live Search

Internet Calling

Owner Info

Email messages

Appointments

The installer will also upgrade your splash screens to the "Sun Rising over the earth" HTC theme from page 1. Your Radio, IPL and SPL will remain unchanged. This is a SSPL only installer so you must be connected with ActiveSync. Then, just execute and it'll take about 5 minutes to install. Vista users: be sure to check out this guide for how to make SSPL installers work on your version of Windows.

v1.0 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)

Here are the known issues:

when you delete the last note in OneNote it doesn't refresh the list and the note appears to not be deleted until you restart OneNote again.

On the Today screen, X-Box changes the font on SPB weather and SPB Time to Black (only happens if "Enable Today X button" is selected). SPB has posted a fix for SPBWeather here

Unable to add programs to the X-Box exclusive list without reghacks. Fixed! Kudos to vp3G for uncovering the fix. Download the attached cab and be sure to install to your device if asked. This fix will not work if installed to your storage card

However, if you do install the cab, the newly enabled exclusive feature has quirks too: :rolleyes: If you actually use this feature by tapping on an app in the Running Programs list, xbutton doesn't restore its icon properly on the today screen. You need to tap start->today to get it to display again.

If only the "Enable the X button to end running programs" option is checked int X-Button, the today screen won't refresh when you change the items unless you SR. The today items work normally if any other combination is selected in the button tab.

My BMW bluetooth handsfree system works great with this version. Very stable and better speaker volume too. Parrot Car Kit owners report varying degrees of success. The Parrot Rhythm 'n Blue system works flawlessly. Nothing yet on Audi handsfree.

Breaking A2DP News!

(Kudos to hardcore on this)

Joint Stereo is properly implemented in this ROM. If your headset supports Joint Stereo, try using lvsw's TweakUI program to set the following values:

JointStereo = 1

CurrentBitPool = 86

MaxBitPool = 86

Jaw dropping audio! :eek: Downside is that I get an occasional skip with these settings. YMMV for sure. Try the joint stereo setting first then tweak away at the bitpool settings. Out of the box, this ROM is set to automatically go to 70 if it can.

note: If your headset doesn't support Joint Stereo you won't be able to connect after applying these settings.

RE: 3G streaming in powersave mode.

The only application I've found that can do this so far is GreenSoftware's Freeware GSPlayer. It can also play mp3's in powersave mode.
