1 HOUR. tried to get on 4winmobile but couldnt, keep refreshing and finally got on.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
Well since we are ALL having issues someone post a link if it goes up tonight since i dont think we are all going to be able to log into 4winmobile its a sad sad day when you have waited this long and its crashing before its even up yet. Where did someone read that its ETA was an hour?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] swtaltima:
Does anyone know the location for download? Is it going to be on http://wmblack.info/ like dymond was?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
JJ posted this time about 20 minutes ago in the preview of shadow area.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
Thanks Lurch... Hey any word on that rogers Radio?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChiGGz:
Do you guys think this will work with pocket breeze?

That would be the only issue that would keep me from using JJ's rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
Until they release an update were SOL, even after they do we still might not be able to get it, wait and see, I haven't given up yet but it will probably be a while. If you think that HTC was slow at getting updates out, Rogers is 10 times worse.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
Yes i remember from my Blackberry days... Rogers was fast to release there first update but then NEVER released another one even though every other carrier released like 30 lol... Well someone update where to download shadow since no one can get on the damn forum!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
How about a expensive brick that you could use to through at people when your mad, like me after to you read this.

This update is only for a Hermes device, not a smartphone.

Updated 2 posts below
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChiGGz:
I don't know what you're talking about. I've been using Pocketbreeze on my hermes for the longest time now along with Black 3.5 . Is the Hermes not a smartphone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
Sorry about that I miss read, the breeze is a device also, missed the pocket thing,(program), to answer correctly then, yeah you shouldn't have any issues.

Add a signature, I wouldn't have miss read that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChiGGz:
Ah, you really had me thrown off in a loop there lol.

I'm just wondering how pocketbreeze would fit on the new designed today screen. It would be cool if the top screen where you scrolled through items could embed pocketbreeze. That would be sexay.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
don't matter we cant get on the site anyway lol...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CAjr45:
anyone that DOES have it. do you mind upping it to megaupload or something? (can we still do that?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scrog:
Broke through for a minute, but couldn't find posts with download link or even confirmation that its out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
I dont think its out hence the reason why we can't get into the site. I bet they are doing something to the site until its released.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spinefixr:
JJ must just think this is funny that his release has crashed the server. Someone must have it by now that can mirror it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
Nobody will no until it is released, who knows what they did to the today screen menu, I am guessing that it will be customizable though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChiGGz:
Sites back, doesn't look like an update has been posted
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
Hey Austinsync, you going to try to make a light version, I will do my own, I am just worried that to many files will be missing.

I just did the other one that was released today, managed to get up to 62mb free, running really smooth, ROM's keep getting better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
If i can get ahold of this ROM i will post a light version about 30 minutes after i get it since i always run light versions. I'm going out to the store now in hopes that when i get back it will be released and this stupidness of not being able to get to the site is over because this is ridiculous

No the 4win site is not back if i do get on its only the home page on the count of 3 everyone stop going there OK! and I'll check lol..

ITS RELEASED!!!!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
Looked at your sig. That 2.01 the latest HardSPL, and if I'm using an older one is there a con to not upgrading to 2.01 before flashing the Shadow? I haven't read any negative comments about any of the older SPL's, and please excuse the question for sounding oblivious about the value of a newer SPL update. Just wondering if it's "truely" necessary and if any of the older ones have had any know "issues".

Sincerly,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] swtaltima:
I just browsed through recent posts and didnt see anything so I am wondering, is the second boot screen suppose to be fuzzy? I did a hr but it still looks the same, has anyone else experienced this?

Ok now running shadow only one problem how to add a city to weather thats not listed.

anybody else having problems with hsdpa/3g speed? I'm using dslreports.com/mspeed and getting 86K consistently but when i switch to GSM/Edge i get 250k. I had the same problem with schaps new rom. is this a problem with the RTM 17745.0.2.3 ???? I didn't have any problem with any prior builds
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChiGGz:
Can someone explain what a 3G dialer is? Does that include the option for video or something?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] telarium:
Yep, I'm getting the same issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
yes same speed issue here also :/ i wonder if replacing the ril.dll will fix that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
Wow. Really like the look and feel of it so far. Outstanding work, as usual, by an outstanding chef. Testing all aspects, and will start reloading apps and see if there's any bugs. First up is the Palm SMS Threader. I can't live w/o! lol :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lax2tlv:
I don't have 3G right by my house so I haven't tested it out yet. So am I to understand that the general consensus here is that the 3G does not work (at least on at&t)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
ditto here, no 3g (ATT)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
It works just dont get good download speeds they are slower than EDGE i have just replaced the rilgsm.dll and i will see if that fixes the issue since this newer rilgsm.dll was of larger size. Only problem is my house is the only one on the block that dont get 3G so i have to go for a damn walk to test
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] telarium:
If you post the .dll, I'll replace and test it right now.

Edit: I'll follow your posts on 4win.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
64k here on hsdpa... something certainly not right...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
sorry, im stupid
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
replacing the rilgsm.dll made my hermes show like it had no radio installed but under "about" it was there...

To bad seemed like a fun ROM to have.. may be shadow can work his magic on it

Hmmm, I wonder what the changes are in this radio rom and if it will become available for download?

*JJ: hint, hint*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
nice...thanks for the heads up
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
So far I have to say this rom is screwey as heck... Nothing I couldn't make work with enough resets, but it seems very unstable...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weinson:
which brings us back to ... when will the shadowmite ROM be released? You think you might have a public sample here someday?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guapinoy:
yeah even with the new fixed rom there seems to be hangs on boot up...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
Um, weird, since I haven't had any issues with it and it's fast and stable. Can you be a little specific as to what's

"screwy", since this ROM is sweet IMO.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shadowmite:
It's very sweet, I agree... And I can't reproduce any of the buggyness I am seeing at will, it's all random. But so far I've had over 15 glitches come and go at random... Thus my description of buggy... I'm gonna play with it more in the morning...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LegolasTheElf:
Elf v2.1 is nice and stable. Of course, it's not as pretty.. But, I'm sure all the people who are calling you who get your Voicemail only because the phone is crashed prefer your phone to be pretty vs. functional :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] princeasi:

yes. it's now hidden. just start to create a new mms message, and you have the option to configure the mss setting under 'menu', 'option', 'message option'.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Goatmaster:
I agree. What is with the lack of testing before releasing a rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jenellej:

And I cant insert anything into a new mms message too
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] piopawlu:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arluckett2002:
I have posted a fix for this on 4winmobile.com.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hirowla:
People who complain about lack of testing obviously don't work in software development. I wouldn't be saying these type of things without actual knowledge of the testing that has occurred. Naturally, you've reported your problems back to the author to help with the diagnosis?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GTRoberts:
Yep! I was the same!! If not worse!! I tap Start and wait for 20 seconds just for the start menu to appear. As the official Dopod 838Pro WM6 version is due out in a week or so, I've gone back to WM5.

None of WM6 builds have worked as well as I hoped they would, as I tried them all.

Cheers!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Tharit:
After reading through this topic, I had some doubts if I really should try the new rom...

But as I am kinda addicted to new stuff, I couldn't resist.

Everything works flawlessly for me so far - speed is about the same as with the previous black version I'd say => fast.

I'm using a VPA Compact III - maybe thats why I have no problems...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pc78:
@Tharit same addiction here ;)...so far no problems...but I really don`t like the HTC Home app, cause it takes 2 much space on the today screen...and my city (even the bigger city near me) is not supported by the weather app...so the most useful combination for me is Mobile shell with Pocket Weather (SBSH) etc...

Regards,

Primoz
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thefunkygibbon:
yeah the weather app's choices of cities is rather lame. in the whole of the UK there is London, Manchester or Edinborough. :( even though weather varies quite substantially between them.

also the whole OS seems dog slow now :( agh (running on a vodafone 1605)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pc78:
You can put custom cities in there but is not working for all of theme...as in my case...But I like the ROM...is fast and stable (till now), the memory leak is minimal...and that is all what I want ;)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] unwired4:
So JJ is putting fixed roms up later re the bug that is causing some resets to fail and there's already a fix re cities for the weather app.

I flashed it anyway to see what it is like and I actually like it a lot.

I am going to wait till thursday, just in case the revisions need any further revisions.....

Am getting really itchy thumbs, am dying to flash the rom......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
listen up,

the failure mechanism in the ROM was the rilgsm.dll that was rolled back to support HSDPA,

it has been sorted and new version will be out soon.

appreciate your comments and feedback but some people that make comments like "what is the point of releasing a rom that is not tested" well to you, you can kiss my black ass coz the rom has gone through hell and back, if something was overlooked well maybe U SHOULD BLAME MS and HTC coz its their frikken rilgsm.dll driver, not mine, im trying to make it work.

THanks,

JJ

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Man ain't that tha truth! Everyone screams "release it" and then ***** cause something's screwy. Few people appreciate the work that goes into making a ROM... (trust me, I do, most everyday...)

But at least we're past the "downloading now" and "me too!" and "my cat had kittens" posts, LOL
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thefunkygibbon:
has anyone else noticed the heat generated at the back of my phone when running shadow? it feels real hot, whilst on any other rom it ran cool.

i dont know if it makes any difference but the light on the top right usually shows as orange when plugged into usb or my car charger. but on shadow its green, like when plugging it into a proper wall charger. would this be whats causing the heat? the added charge?

or am i going mental?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] baudy2:
I beleive it has been already fixed for this as BBConnect v4.0 works absolutely fine.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] firebird2k:
It constantly amazes me that people whine and complain when it isn't released and then whine and complain after its released.

Kudos to JJ and other Rom Chefs for putting up with the crap.

Listen People -> These are custom brewed Roms based on beta/development/RTM builds. Yes, there will be issues and if you go to the appropriate support forum(4WinMobile in JJ's case) and READ you will see if there are work arounds. If the issue is widespread, you will see multiple people commenting that they are experiencing X and they have tried to fix it by doing Y. If you tried Z and it didn't work, then kindly post Z and stop with the complaining. Complaining doesn't solve anything.

If you want something stable : THERE IS NO SUCH THING : even the carrier released Roms have their own set of issues. If you want something stable and want to TALK to someone go back to the carrier released rom and call up your carrier who will be glad to say that its a bug and it will be fixed in a future release but they don't know when that will be!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] harlenm:
Well, no one answered the question i had a few posts ago, so i guess I will wait for JJ to post the new ROM.

Anway, one more question.

I can't seem to find a way to change the setting to have the weather app check for updates more often. It's been over an hour, and still no update.

I was able to change the data to the closest city to me, but would like it to update every 30 minutes or so.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] reitjam:
weather

i like what jj has done but i cant have an unstable rom on my phone at work so i flashed back to what i have been using and also have tonaya weather to go, it has tons and tons of cities worldwide.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] honestabe:
why? are you afraid you might miss a change in the temperature in the next 30 mins? 29 mins ago it was sunny and at 30 mins tornado will take you off to never never land? no reason to have a weather update every 30 mins other then wasting battery and bandwidth
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] harlenm:
Well, as of now it's not even auto-updating at all. And yes, weather can change rapidly, it can from sunny one minute, to thunderstorms the next.

Does it really matter, it's how I want it to work.

I suppose I'll reflash with the new update-->will a restored backup from the original Shadow be allright or do I need to do a full reinstall. I'm using SPB back up.
