[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electronic Punk:
Everytime you want to write to system you will need to unlock again, you may as well leave it unlocked until whatever time you decide to move on to the next device... or use a custom kernel, presumably that is where it is set.

With stock kernel locked means system stays R only for whatever reason, even with a custom ROM or previously modified system... small perk of .17 iirc.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
I sent my Z2 for repairs, as the camera lens was getting ugly only a few months after purchase.

It was sent Saturday and already came back the next Saturday (yesterday)

I got a new back case and even a new screen (I hadn't noticed anything wrong with the old screen)

That is great after sales, my compliments!
[Xperia Z2 General] ImS0Raw:
Got the same experience with Sony but then with my Playstation Portable in the times I used to own one. I got a new one in less than 3 days.
[Xperia Z2 General] gamer649:
Had a really bad experience with the Sony after sales care. Sent a Z1 compact (I know it isn't the Z2 but go with me) what had gaps starting to appear between the side and back. Got the phone back, the repair notice had said the device had the case (which I phoned Sony up about, apparently that's the middle housing) replaced. I knew 100% that it hadn't been as there was a tiny scuff what was there when I sent it in. I have now got to send the device in again to get the middle housing replaced as the gaps are still there too.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I had a great and bad xperiance

My Xperia S was suffering random reboots and they sent it back to me after saying its not in warrenty AFTER I SAID REPAIR and not warrenty cause

(i missed some details here)

Good was that they sent me a new Z2 after my insurance did a terrible job repairing mine because my insurance wasnt planning on fixing their poor job nor replacing my phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
First of all, I'd like to acknowledge the excellent job that mattk_r and nottoosmart did in creating the base Pandora rom and kitchen on which this work is based.

I imported their stuff into my Rom-Packer kitchen, made a few minor tweaks, compressed a few packages, and wanted to see how much I could get into a single build. I was pleased to find that I could get in everything I wanted (and a bit more!).

My target audience here are folks who just want a rom that does it all, and quickly. This is in the style of Faira's roms, in that it is packed full. It has all the base WM6 apps: Transcriber, Enterprise, Entertainment, WindowsLive, WindowsLive Search, Office 2007 (includes Onenote Mobile), VoIP, SqlCeMobile, MediaOS (Windows Media Player), Camera. I have left out/removed error reporting, autoupdate, and sqm. All of which make no sense for a custom rom, and are in my opinion accidents waiting to happen. Catalog I left out just because its a shopping portal, and I imagine you can just visit on the web if you want.

3rd party apps:

Adobe Reader LE, ArcSoft MMS, Notepad, Today Agenda, Battery Status, HTC X Button 1.0, PHM Registry Editor, PIM Backup 1.9, Pocket RAR, Shut XP, Redial, SMS Backup, Task Manager, Total Commander, WM5torage

I also threw in the newly released HTC Audio Manager, which is a very nice audio player.

There are two versions:

One with Voice Speed Dial, One with MS Voice Command.

Registry tweaks:

Thin scrollbar, disabled security, 802.11g, increased ring tone, edge icon, keyboard icon. I also enabled increased file and glyph caches, as for me these help performance noticeably, and there is plenty of ram.

Speaking of ram, I get 29.93 mb free on reboot of the VC version. I imagine it may be a tad higher for the SD version. If you don't like a particular app, just don't use it. It's not taking up any of your storage space anyway! If you want a few more mb of ram, you can disable the file cache settings manually, but I don't think its worth it personally.

Issues:

This rom is based on mUn's latest release, which still has some issues to be worked out, mainly Flash Player and A2DP, but check on the Pandora or mUn rom threads for tweaks and fixes for these as they become available.

Edit: I am advised by mattk_r that a2dp may work. Let me know. (I don't use it.)

For those that need these features now, Faria or Core-based roms currently work. If people are interested in "Packed" versions of those, let me know. Or cook your own!

This is an OS only flash.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sacwoo:
Seems pretty fast, I only had 27.16MB of ram free with nothing extra installed or running, not even activesync.

Everything seems great except the GPS icon tweak isn't preset and there aren't any extra themes (Black) added already.

None of them are big deals since they can be fixed, but just saying for a "fully-Loaded" Rom, they less tweaking needed after the fact, the better.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Thanks for the comment. If you have a bundle or link that you'd recommend let us know. Or post a cab for people to install.

I could put some more stuff in the Voice Speed Dial version, but the Voice Command version is close to the edge. So to keep the features the same, I'll probably just leave them as is for now. Down the road as my "Packer" becomes more sophisticated, I may be able to squeeze more in, but for now this is about the state of the art.

I don't know why your ram numbers are different. Mine were higher. Still, 28 meg should be plenty to work with I think.

I'm afraid there will be some tweaking to be expected. We are creating things that aren't perfect. I appreciate your help.

Best wishes,

a little error with voice dailing with headset

Nice Rom, surely a fast one but

when tried to dial with the voicedailer thru my bt headset nothing happened...

i getting used with the fact that voicedailing gives problems with some roms but this one is easily to handle:

From HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\btagext.dll" (string)

To HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll" (string)

and it works....

still a nice rom....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] petraviva:
Loaded it this morning cleanly. As others have said it is nice and quick. My old ROM had been in for all of four weeks so it was time for a change :)

I had some issues with AS on first sync. My favorites and most of my ring tones didn't come across even though it showed Synchronized. I re-synced and all came across bar my tsk files and the notes. With the notes, I have two copies of each. One is the original from the PC sync along with another pre-fixed "Changed copy of" in the filename. Never seen this before.

It does seem fully loaded with one small omission : the Wireless Today plug-in. Ill find it and add it in but perhaps this could be considered for a future up-issue. A small quibble and easy to fix.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
Downloading now...

Hello!! Im just downloading your ROM, i look just like what i install all over when i hard reset my device so i will give it a try. However i thing there is another PDF reader out there that many claim is faster and lighter, i dont remember the name. I will look out for it and spread out the word.

I have some questions:

Does this ROM has has the Camera v3.0?

Does this ROM has the bluetooth explorer enabled and working?

How much is the battey consuption and idle processor 4% ?

Best regards !!:cool:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Thanks pdamol for the fix.

Tpalik, yeah, unfortunately activesync acts up at times with reflashing. I don't think its this rom. I have a whole hocus-pocus routine I go through now to avoid duplicate entries when changing roms. I've had thousands of notifications, and thousands of contacts before, which really made me panic. Hope you didn't have too many notes to delete.

In the future, try deleting the sych relationship from both your PC and the mobile device before reflashing. Then re-synching, adding only one category at a time, and watching carefully to see that each time the additional category is actually synched. Thats helped me.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.

Hope you both enjoy the rom!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Yes, pdaXplore is out there, but there are mixed reviews about whether it is actually lighter on resources when running. (It is a slightly smaller .exe) So, I went with the standard, since I could fit it in. If you like the other one you could install it too.

I think it is Camera 3

Not sure about the bluetooth explorer.

Idle processor is 0-2% with occasional bounces as the system does something or other. Battery life should be good.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
Thats it ! pdaXplore. Yes i just read some comments and as you said is not as stable as our old good Adobe Reader.

Another questions, does it have implemented the GPRSStallworkaround fix?

Is it safe to flash it to a G4 device?

Does it has smartskey??

10 button comm manager?

Voip ???

So sorry for all these questions!!

Thankx man keeo up the good work !
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
GPRSStallworkaround: Not sure, but there's a registry editor included so you can put it in yourself if needed.

G4: Yes, its safe. Read up on how to do it if you haven't done it already though.

Smartskey: No, I don't use it, but if you want it just load it in yourself. It's a really small program. BatteryStatus, which is included, does overclocking on its own.

10 button: yes

voip: yes

Take care,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jimmoor:
Does your packed ROM include the GPS application and Icon?

ROM looks very good and I would like to try but need the GPS and a lot of ROMs don't include it.

Thx,

Jim
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Hi, No it doesn't. I'm not sure why not. If I find it I'll put it in the next update. (Along with the other fixes people suggest.) Having said that, I have no problem connecting with my GPS over bluetooth and TomTom is happy. I've read that app has been impossible to get to work properly, and most of the GPS folks avoid it. If you have problems getting going with the current set-up and want how I do it let me know.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
Nope the GPS icon its not enabled.

I just flashed with this ROM and my device has frozen 2 or 3 times also it has a little trouble with the voice dialer, when in press the voice activation button it says that it cant start the assigned app.

Strange. I will fix it by myself. but i dont like to fix recently flashed ROMS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Hi charly_mx,

Sorry for your trouble. Try a hard reset (if you haven't loaded too much in already). Or a soft reset if you have. (Using the pinhole.) I'm using the voice command version, and haven't had any problems with freezing. Is it a particular app? We could see if others are having trouble with it as well. If you post the fix for the voice dial activation I'll make sure it gets corrected in the next version.

Thanks,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
I just got it!!! Look.

The Voice Speed Dial is bad assigned in the button config. Instead of being assigned on the second option of the button 4, it must be assigned in the first assignement (for a single key press activation). The second assignment of the button 4 is meant to be the "press and hold" function. Thats why it wasnt working with a single key press. Its just a slight config option.

:) Best regards.!!

Thanks for troubleshooting the VSD issue.

Best regards.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Cool, thanks. But just so I'm clear, now that you have the button mapped correctly is it working OK?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] slikrishi:
Its a pretty nice rom so far. However, I've had a similar problem as above. I'm using the voice command version of the rom and when I press the button on the headset, nothing happens. I applied the registry edit described above but only later realized that the above edit must have been for the voice dialer version, not the voice command version.

I now have the "\Windows\OEMAGW.dll" valuedata in my registry and voice command from my headset is not working.

I would appreciate any suggestions to get it to work. Thanks in advance.

I just found another bug

Hello ! i just found another bug. If you take a video and stop recording some options apear, send to email, preview, delete etc, if you click preview the device just hangs... mmmhh so sorry bt im finding a lot of bugs and its just my first day with the rom :confused:

reverse

Check the following lines:

From HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\VoiceCmd.exe" (string)

To HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\SDDialer.exe" (string)

in my case is this the way but in your case you should reverse....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pdamol:

strange, the only bug appeared in my case was the voicedailer.....

maybe the flash didn't go properly?

the rom is still very nice
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
The original key value for the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/AudioGateway/BTAGExtModule in my phone (VC version) is "vcbthag.dll". In case you want to try reverting back. Let me know if you get the bug sorted. If not, I'll work it out by tomorrow. (I have to charge up my headset.)

If you look in the key pdamol suggested, there is also a value for VoiceCmdEnable which is currently 0 (zero), that looks suspiciously like it should be a 1 (one).

Sorry for the hassle.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Sorry for your trouble. I just checked it myself. If you select preview by clicking the "action" button it works fine. If you do it by tapping on the screen, nothing happens. If you tap another selection, the other selection works. This would seem to be a bug in the camera app. The workaround is to select preview by using the action button, which is more natural anyway since you're using it as a camera at that point.

Best wishes,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
I agree i think its a problem regarding the camera app. :( Perhaps trying to use camera v3.3. I can attach it if you need it !

Regarding power consumption I also found that some keys in the registry are wrong set. In order to maximize battery performance its requeried that all keys named, DisablePowerManagement should be set to 0.

DisablePowerManagement = 0

:) I dont meant to be rude or to be critizing your ROM, im only pointing out some suggestions!!

Best regards!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Sure, no problem, always room for improvement. If you want to send me the 3.3 app I can certainly try it. The disable power management tweaks are something I've seen people have strong opinions both ways on. Some people swear by them, others have stated it made their battery consumption worse. By default, Microsoft has the settings at 1, so I left them there. I have tried it both ways and really haven't noticed much difference. Personally, I usually set them at "0" like you do. Conserving energy, good for the environment, that sort of thing. :)

Shutdown application

Hello everyone,

I tried this rom and liked it but decided to go back to my previous version for personal reasons. There was an application I enjoyed on this rom, the "shutdown" feature but I have not been able to find a cab for it online. I have done numerous queries online and found one that does not work with Faria's the real thing rom. This is what I found that does not work: "Shutdown (Windows XP Style) 1.0” If anyone can provide a cab or location were I can find the version loaded on the Pandora's rom, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Yeah, download this file, extract all four files from inside the .zip, flash all four files with Odin simultaneously (see image below to see what I mean). This will wipe any files and settings you have saved and return the phone to factory condition, so make sure to back up anything important. Also it's a long process (5-10 minutes) and will at some point boot the phone into recovery, it's important to leave the phone plugged in and untouched, let it do its thing until it's fine and boots into kitkat
