Thanks. My question is would this ROM trigger autorun and config.txt upon a HR to install customized CAB stored in Ext ROM? All the cooked WM6 ROM majority will bypass EXT ROM customization (even you have define and modify config.txt) except for recent LVSW's original release (3.30.0.9 and 3.30.2.1)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
the key is a file in /windows called preconfig.txt ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
damn... there's so much to like about this build! This has got to be the best-yet WM6 version I've played with....

One I just uncovered for landscape cleartype lovers: the reg value "offonrotation" sticks between SRs again. Set it to 1 and cleartype is enabled in landscape mode after the next SR (power off to make it stick)

:)

Works fine for me. What's not working?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guapinoy:
i did like the cleartype on landscape...but I had to revert back to the previous sleuth version because this build does not like palm messaging app. I've tried downloading the original lvsw of this build and sleuth's and no go. I mean the messaging works it's only when i receive MMS messages, it'll say "out of memory." This happens with no additional apps running in the background and fresh out of Soft reset. I tried to tweak the cache to see if that would help, but it didn't.

I found that the battery life was a tad bit better than 17741.0.2.1 but I need my palm messaging and MMS :)

either way...sleuth's version...the best!

Works flawlessly on my Parrot Rhythm 'n Blue.

I use your rom since yesterday morning, lots of applications installed: steady as a rock, no hang at all. (don't know if it's because the kernel, the build or your modifications... for now I give you the credits.)

I use Wisbar (Lite) and Wisbar Advance Desktop, in the past cause of memory leaks. Now after 1,5 day I still have 24 Mb program memory, that is really a lot. I'm happy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Hi there sleuth255!

I'm checking out your version of LVSW's ROM now too. Thanks to LVSW and you for your generous efforts!

For the A2DP optimizations, I noticed that you set MaxBitpool to 70 (great), but you also disabled Joint Stereo by default.

I believe this may actually reduce the audio quality in these new ROMs. In the newer WM builds, MS has improved A2DP significantly, and the "Joint Stereo sends mono sound" is no longer true. Joint Stereo now works as it should.

I've found that if you disable Joint Stereo, you actually reduce the sound quality a lot. Why not give it a try - enable Joint Stereo and you may enjoy the results! ;)

I've also found that for some strange reason, setting the A2DP SampleRate to 48000 helps to reduce the "hissing" sound - even though logically this should decrease audio quality since it is resampling 44100hz to 48000hz. My theory is that MS's SBC codec encodes at 48000hz better than at 44100hz. Somehow I find the reduced "hissing" better than the slight loss of fidelity caused by resampling. Try it out... see which one you prefer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Thanks for the post hardcore! trying this now...

Edit:

Well, my hp headset won't connect with joint stereo on. Maybe doesn't support the feature. I'll try my nokia's next.

Edit2: Joint Stereo rocks on my Nokias tho! :D

I'm thinking I'm gonna leave the option at 0 though due to problem above with my HPs. Apparently not all headsets support this. It's easy enough to change with lvsw's tweaker.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Cool! Also you might want to try this combination:

UseJointStereo = 1

SampleRate = 44100 (default, or leave out this key/value)

BitPool and MaxBitPool = 86

I think this is the best possible quality you can get for 44.1khz (the bitstream should be about 510kbit/sec which is near the limit of 512kbit/sec for A2DP). I got these values from this document:

http://www.oi-us.com/Uploads/File/SOUNDabout_Suite_Brochure.pdf

The document is a benchmark of a 3rd party A2DP SBC codec.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
So the sample rate is 44100 by default?

edit:

Ok, both settings at 86, No SampleRate value added to registry (assuming default is 44100).... Holy Crap!! Yowza!! :D:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Yup. I think I read this somewhere in MSDN. Also, the samplerate of CD audio and thus most MP3s is 44100hz.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Damn.... volume level range is outta control here too! This sounds like the Widcomm stack!

edit: I'm getting the occasional skip at this level though. Certainly can live with it given the fidelity improvement though....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simon1219:
X-Button is cooked into the rom, is there any way to uninstall the program or totally deactivate it because I want to use HandySwitch?

Is by unchecking all the options in the Button tap of X-Button is sufficient and will not crash with other "CLOSE" program?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Yep, unchecking both options should turn it off.

Has anyone noticed faster battery drain in this version?...I have about 30% faster drain as I had with not modified LVSW version or the CUSTEL version...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kinky-chinky:
@ PC78

I concur.

Usually overnight my battery level drops about 10%, but since installing this rom, I have noticed that it will drop 20%-30% overnight.

Might try a diff radio to see if that will remedy this.

kinky
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pc78:
@kinky

I have the same radio from the begining so this is not a radio issue but a ROM issue...I have other problems with the rest of WM6 based ROMS but with this ROM I don`t have any other issue just the battery drain...

LVSW originally removed HTC X-button Task Manager from this ROM because of "battery life" problems. Try to disable X-button and see if there are any improvements?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pc78:
I think this shouldn`t be the problem, cause I have installed LVSW (original) too with x-button 1.5 and have no battery drain issue...but will try...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Or you could just be having the problem of the battery indicator being not accurate. Try to cycle the battery by draining it completely and recharging it fully. Use your phone until the battery runs out and you cannot power it on, then plug in the charger (don't turn the phone on) and let it charge until the battery is full (the battery light turns green).

EDIT: There is a small risk of corrupting your SD card or phone storage, if your battery runs out while Windows is running - this happened to me once, and I had to hard-reset my phone and reformat my SD card. Please take proper care, and if you really want to completely drain your battery - probably the safest way to empty the battery is, once your battery indicator drops to 10%, reboot the phone into bootloader mode (tri-color screen) and let the battery run out there.

Hi Sleuth255

i have see in your sign that you use the 1.40.30.00.

why not the 1.41.00.10???

t seems me that many pguy affirm that the 30 is better than the 41 but I doesn't understand why...

Can someone, please, give me more info?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
re: battery drain.

I'm running an 8525 with X-Button enabled, direct push active for both hotmail and exchange, and bluetooth on. My Hermes is set for powersave mode after 3 minutes and backlight off after 4 minutes. This insures that powersave mode engages first unless another application (such as coreplayer) has it disabled.

Battery life is identical to that of my last variant or about 2 days with normal use. I've been testing this since I released the variant. Based on this, I can assure you that there is not a battery issue with this base ROM. I can't speak to add-on program interaction however.

I'd check to see if the 3G connection is active a lot. Is your Hermes getting warm? 3G activity would be indicated by the presence of an "H" instead of a "3G" in the icon area. HSDPA is only engaged when the connection is actually active.

@festermania: The 1.40.30.00 is a Cingular specific variant. It works better on Cingular networks here in the US.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aarman:
Wow! How do you do it??? I don't think I have *ever* had the charge last more than 24hr with anyone's ROM, with all my settings set conservative, and light-to-no use.

I typically set;

- Bluetooth off/beam off

- POP3 check on "manual", PushEmail on, schedule "as items arrive"

- Turn off (powersave) in 1 minute

- Backlight off in 30sec, brightness at ~70%

- No Connection set to permanent, and I force 3G instead of UMTS

Extra App highlights:

- Daniel Herrero's BandSwitch

- HTC TaskManager 1.5

- HTCTweak, RegEdit, etc

- Cyberon VCommander

- VibraSwitch

- TCPMP 0.8 w/ ATIFix

- Dutty's FileExplorer (GSFinder)

- MS Live Search
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
@aarman: It's the battery itself. Didn't you notice that when you first purchased your shiny new device it seemed to last forever?

My 8525 lasts twice as long as my TyTN which has about the life you are seeing. For some reason, the batteries in these devices seem to "peak" then die off. I had two 8125 (wizards) with the exact same symptoms.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aarman:
Actually, no.. I was getting even worse performance until I learned about HDSPA vs EDGE, and the effects of keeping the BT on. Once I got that< it started to last about 20-24hrs, and I was "happy".

I just might invest in a new battery.. But meantime, do you see anything in my settings/apps that might be burning cycles for no reason in the background?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Do you have HSDPA icon enabled? Are you seeing an "H" alot?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aarman:
No.. I force GSM mode with Bandswitch. I almost never use HSDPA as it is causing reliability problems for me with the operation of the phone itself - dropped calls, bad voice quality etc. I don't think Cingular's UMTS network infrastrucure has reached the maturity level of their GSM network - at least in my area (North Carolina).

Battery Drainage / CPU Usage

this is this fastest and most responsive ROM I have ever used so far. but I am experiencing the same type of battery drainage. all the settings are set as mentioned above. however I noticed that the process IDLE PROCESS is constantly using the CPU at around 80%. what could be the cause of this?

Noob on A2DP: Sleuth do I still need the A2DP fix to use A2DP on this ROM and device?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Hi again Sleuth255!

Actually, there are several prior ROMs which already have the improved A2DP performance. I'm not sure exactly which ones, but so far all the WM6 ROMs that I've tried have good A2DP (worlds apart from the "stock" WM5 ROM which I used to run).

These are the ROMs I have tried that have good A2DP:

Black 2.5, Black 3.0/3.0.1, LVSW 05-07, LVSW 05-19, CUSTEL 2.5

I had all but given up on A2DP with Windows Mobile after my experience with the unacceptably poor A2DP quality of older ROMs. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I tried it with WM6 ROMs! My faith in WM was immediately restored! Haha...

The biggest improvement comes from enabling Joint Stereo. Most compressed audio codecs like A2DP's SBC were designed with JS in mind to get more quality out of the same bitrate. Sorry to hear that some of your headsets didnt work with JS, which I find a bit odd since JS is supposed to be mandatorily supported as mentioned in the A2DP specs. (But as we know, different branded A2DP devices dont exactly follow the specs very well...)

The next more subtle level of improvement comes by increasing the bitpool/maxbitpool until the maximum of 86.

Just FYI, I am using a Nokia BH-500 headset. Its the only A2DP headset I have, so unfortunately I cant compare it with others.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
If you get excessive skipping you can install my A2DP patch which is still effective on this ROM.

Alternative to HTC X-Button

@Sleuth,

You may already know this app, but in case you don't, I'm using this old version of InClose. Note, this is the old freeware version (no longer available) not the newer shareware one.

It's got everything the HTC app has, but also adds other functions like screen backlight on/off, screen rotate and reset functions in the drop-down task list menu, as well as screen drag shortcuts to perform various functions.

I's got a bigger footprint (900Kb) that the HTC, but I'm just flagging it in here in case you want to test it and see if it avoids some of the current issues with the HTC app.

Sleuth,

Just got your LVSW variant ROM going & what a pleasure!

It's great to have the Live Search, on tytn screen, defaulted at Google. Easy access to my Google home & gmail.

Is Audio Manager removable in Ext rom? Using Core Player, v.1.004.

When I added the Cingular Video cab, the result was Real One took over ALL defaults. So, I could see CV using MediaNet as usual, but when using wap-non proxy, I could no longer get Internet streaming to StreamingPlayer in your program. Finally, I removed the CV cab, but still had to manually delete RealOne & mess with registry to get the StreamingPlayer back as default. There must be a way to use both, CV with Real1 & Internet Streaming with the SP. Any thoughts on this?

Overall, after trying most WM6 builds on Trinity & Tytn, this is the best experience, at this point with WM6. Your touches are perfect. Always liked GSFinder & your edition is tops.

Many thanks for your fine work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] debonairone:
Firstly, thanks for the variant, but now I have a couple of questions... Has anyone come across a fix for the problem with the HTC Audio Manager... When I try to use it, it locates my files on my SD; however, it then freezes after about 20 seconds...

I noticed this immediately after installing the ROM, so it isn't caused by 3rd party apps in my case... I also had to remove the SD and reinsert to get Audio Manager to recognize the files on the card... Wow, guess I need to change my sig sometime today to reflect the current rom...

The comm manager application is causing me problems as well.. just discovered this one... So to the WIKI I will go... anyway, just in case someone has it handy... After installing the comm-vibrate button patch, (didn't notice if it didn't work prior to that), if I press the button, I get the error "The file 'Comm' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed wth a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found." yadayadayada...
