Great job Sleuth!

Typically I'm not one to post silly "Great Job"'s but this one is a great job! Very stable and responsive, with obvious attention to detail.

Extended ROM

Sleuth, I see some extended ROM files, I assume they are yours (?): Windows Live, X-Button, mHub-player, ..

You already included these files in your ROM, why add them to the extended ROM? (I know they aren't automatically installed after a hardreset.)

By the way: love it, seems fast and stabile and much free memory.

Perhaps for the next version also a tweak like HTweakC?

Any way of tidying up the 3G icon?

Have only been able to find the Black Clean Icon Patch but this doesn't seem to work with this release.

Apart from this minor cosmetic niggle, this is a very slick rom.

Well done & thanks Sleuth

Sleuth, great ROM.

I love the VoIP optimized part. By the way, just to share my settings: I use my own Asterisk box to get calls through and I added this rule on the dial-plan:

<!-- Universal rules -->

<rule pattern="(\d+)" dial="sip:\1@$host$" display="\1" transfer="sip:\1@$host$" />

In my phonebook, I have all the number updated as "+<country>-<TEL>". It works fine for normal wireless call with t-mobile and cingular, and the asterisk know what to do with the '+'.

Seem lvsw's CE 5.2.1413 Build 17913.0.3.0 ROM base are have battery drained problem. I try Lvsw rom ,Sleuth255 and Elf v2.1 all of them got same problem. At begining it will look normal (battery drained at idle time is 6mA and jumped up and down but it will back to 6 mA) But once it got problem. It will continues drained at 40-45 mA continue. So, It cause battery run out very fast. Compare with Feria rom (customized version 1) , Feria rom did not have this problem. I used acbPowerMeter for testing this issue. It look like cause by phone program once I disable phone (flight mode) idle mode it will back to 6 mA once enable again it will jump up to 40-45 mA again. SR did not solved this problem. It will help at beginning only but at the end it will same result.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I'm not seeing this issue, nor are many other users of this build. In fact, I've rolled this out to the 8525 users at my company. They're Sr. mucky-muck road warriers too and would scream bloody murder if I had affected their device's longevity.

My Tytn regularly goes 24-48 hours on a charge with this variant. Nevertheless, some do complain so there must be a combination of factors that can cause this issue. It may have something to do with what happens when there's "no GSM service".... I did notice my device runs down the battery hard when this is happening. I've seen this with WM5 on my device too however.

HowTo: Select get your local City into TouchToday's Weather City list

The cities list is contained in an XML file called HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml and may not contain the local city where you live.

The syntax is easily gleaned from the file itself. I dumped this out of the cab where it is stored as HH_040~1.157, changed the name back to HH_0409WeatherCities.xml, edited with notepad and copied to /windows with gsfinder+ then selected it in the plugin. No reset necessary!

To figure out what to put in the entry, go to accuweather.com and select your local city there. With your local weather displayed, look at the URL and you'll be able to recognize the portion that needs to go into the xml.

Enjoy!

Great thanks... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] festermania:
As i have said in other thread i have follow this procedure but dont work for me.

I see the city in the list but when i select it i receive: Unable to retrive data for selected city.

whit all other city inthe list (the original) plugin works fine...

Please help me.

thx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
I'm still working on the syntax myself. Try this: go to accuweather.com and select your city. See if the URL line looks similar to information in the xml file for a city near you that is already there. Then put in the syntax.

For example, I live in Milwaukee WI so I went to accuweather and selected Milwaukee by zip code. The URL came up with "us/wi/milwaukee/" buried in it. That is very similar to the Chicago entry which is |NAM|US|IL|CHICAGO

I then edited the xml file and changed an entry to Milwaukee, WI with |NAM|US|WI|MILWAUKEE as the parameter. Bada-bing. Milwaukee weather was displayed

However, this didn't work for the smaller town that I actually live in even though I can directly select it with accuweather. So, I'm still digging for an exact way to determine an accuweather location code.

im going crazy too...

I dont understand why it works only for some city...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Well, I've removed the TouchToday plugin. It really is designed to work with a black theme only, which is not a color I'm really wild about. The launcher is pretty cool and the large time display works well with alarm settings. However the Weather panel is primitive and I found a few HTC bugs and other v1.0 issues:

It seems to clash with x-button (icon display in upper right gets scrambled).

selecting text messages causes email to remain on your text messages inbox when you subsequently select mail items

It takes up a huge amount of today screen realestate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] festermania:
Yes is beaty, but i thnk like you said is at moment too primitive...

and it renders the ppc very very slowest...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
I also tried a day with this plug in but I´m not impressed. As noted by Sleuth... it´s has very primitive weather skin, it ocupies far too much space on my today screen, it doesn´t go too well with the Windows Mobile default skin and I hate black (I suppose this can be changed as seen in Schaps ROM but...) and it seems to have a few bugs/compatabilty issues which slows things up. I prefer the standard skin and a functional nonsense today screen any day.... I´ve rolled back!!

Nice rom, but sadly, it still doesn't solve my persistent bluetooth drops and reconnects on my S4. Hopefully, the "official" WM6 to be released by HTC in the coming weeks will fix this problem, but I am not holding my breath.

I came to the same conclusion as you, i went back to SPB Shell v.1.0 and works great... Plus i can change to any color in the theme tab :) SPB Shell 1.5 had one problem, when i would receive a phone call i could not answer it... It would ring and eventually would go into Voicemail.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
I´m the same... I had to soft reset 4 times yesterday with LVSW new ROM and missed a few calls due to freezes. I´m not sure what the problem is but I experienced the same with Schaps WWE ROM as well. So back to the trusty Sleuth variant..:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcespi2005:
I'm giving a try to new LVSW 16-06 and works great for me, no one freeze, no one SR (only after installing some soft), and no one missed call (new radio 1.43 :D ). And with 3.30b from Schaps same results...

Don't know, perhaps you use some soft not many compatible with latest OS builds...

Interesting... the only additional software I have is Skype and an Oxford Spanish-English Dictionary!! ;) . The freezes came generally after using the IE or WMP. I am trying the LVSW ROM "clean" on my other Hermes and so far so good.... but I´m back with this build for my day to day working Hermes. Thanks jcespi2005;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcespi2005:
mmm Skype is enough to get a freeze, sure :) i try skype only once with old ROM, let me give a try with latest black and LVSW...

About WMP, don't use so much, i love new HTC Audio manager or latest Pocket Player (this is a must, beleave me...) and for IE, i use Opera :), but i tested the IE too, and works fine too.

This combination works great for me.

Anyway, this version is great. Sleuth make a great job here.

I don't use any SPB soft and don't recommend it, for weather use SBSH Weather, and the soft combination above, plus Photo Contacts 5.02 and other little apps (photo viewer, etc..).

For me is a stable version.

Probably i am not so demanding with my hermes :)

Hi, I just got back in town and am testing the new lvsw ROM now. Jeez.... get out of cell coverage for 4 friggen days and look what happens :)

Its based on the official RTM kernel. If it looks better than this ROM then I'll tweak out a new variant using it as the base. Right now, however, I believe the XDA chefs that produced this base build using the best parts of multiple ROMs have done a better job than M$.

My next variant may well end up being my first attempt at an XIP graft using this base kernel and the SD slot drivers from the RTM build since I want to update the SD drivers for SDHC capabilities. That is really the only part of the RTM build that I want.

What I'm looking for ATM is confirmation that the updated SDHC slot drivers are present in the current lvsw release.....

Thanks all, and sorry again :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
SDHC boosts card capacity by allowing cards of greater capacity than 2GB, starting at 4GB. Regular SD cards use the FAT16 file system, but SDHC uses FAT32 to boost the range of memory addresses it can access and so store. Micro SD versions work the same way. For example Micro SDHC is rated a Class 2 device which means its capable of a minimum guaranteed data transfer rate of 2MBps. But the SDHC spec also includes Class 4 and Class 6 - respectively delivering at least 4MBps and 6MBps.... so it just depends, but in theory a faster card with bigger storage

I'm not currently pursuing an RTM variant

I'm actually thinking of grafting the RTM flashdrv XIP dlls into the 5.2.1413 kernel (my current variant is based on this). People have been reporting issues with the latest RTM kernel. This would take my ROM from a lvsw variant to a true WM6 core build based on the best components available from Universal, hermes and now the RTM ROMs.

Essentially you'd end up with this thread's ROM + 4GB microSD capabilities (plus a few additional registry tweaks).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
I have tried all the latest ROMs based on the new Kernel and I have to say I've had issues with everyone of them. Freezes and missed calls when I'd installed my apps and programs on Schaps, Black and LVSW. So I tried the ROMs clean to see if there was a comptabilty problem but I've had freezes after calls or unable to hang up after calls. I think your idea is the way to go.... you have an excellent base to move from. Just take the best bits from the RTM etc. Keep us posted....

I've tried the 16-06 version of LVSW's rom and Black 4, both were similarly less stable that the previous LVSW version. Seems like everytime I try a new ROM these days, it ends up being not as stable or fast as the LVSW 05-19 version.

However, I am having one issue - that is the battery drain seems to be quite high. Especially if I make a phone call, the battery indicator goes down really quickly, but most of the time it recovers after a soft-reset. Not sure if its caused by the battery driver.

So seeing as my latest experiences have been "older is better", I've moved back to the LVSW 05-09 version (I seem to recall that version was extremely stable, more so than 05-19). I'm going to test it for a few days to see what the battery indicator behaves like, and general stability.

v1.1 status update:

I've successfully grafted the SDHC drivers from the RTM build. It took a bit of time with IDA & hexcmp to unravel everything that was needed but I'm pretty sure it'll handle the 4Gig cards now. I couldn't even see the SD card with Filemanager until I replaced 3 key drivers in the imgfs so my confidence is high that I've got everything right.

Now for the SAP drivers...

edit: I sure wish I could reproduce the battery issue. I talked on the phone alot over the weekend and didn't notice any unusual drain. However, I didn't check the battery meter either. I throw a low battery warning in about 36 hours with normal use including surfing and push email with bluetooth on.

If anybody can find a way to make this happen, I can work it out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:

More testing to occur tonight....

edit: I've been driving around a bit and everything looks real good with the handsfree profile... :) One of my issues with v1.0 of this variant was that pairing seemed to be more touch & go than with previous ROMs. When I release this version, I'll start a new thread since this is no longer an lvsw variant but rather a true graft containing the RTM CE release along with imgfs components from my previous variant and the RTM release. To indicate this, it'll show the following in settings->about:
