most issues has been already resolved on www.4winmobile.com . if you need help, go to jasjamming forum and ask there. it was his request, and he did not answering question on two places. bye.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wu_ybao:
Thanks your guy. I think it will be better to wait for new rom..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lewisleung:
Anyone still keep the "First release version"?

My X01HT cannot wake up after slept each time... :(

I cant wait...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] y2whisper:
rom has been updated

Should this be a seperate thread here or just put it with the black shadow thread?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
No. For you maybe, but on my 8525 it's fast as hell and haven't had ANY problems or this "hang" problem either. The ROM is awesome!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xultar:
I've run the rom also...I'm having no problems either. I experienced a hang during the install but after that I've been smooth and I'm HSDPA.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wu_ybao:
I tried it but it still doesn't work, previously i installed official wm5.0 rom / qtek 2.11.255.2. It works quite well and stable. Do anyone have idea how to fix the bug?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Could someone please start a new thread Entitled: 'Black Shadow Works Great'

And then another one: 'Black Shadow Works So-So.'

Infact, everytime someone wants to say something, just start a New Thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wu_ybao:
Seriously, there is a Hermes fans chatting room. In the chatting room, it is complainted as well that they got same experience as me. There is one similarity that we performed complete flash using Qtek 2.11.255.2 before updating to Black Shadow (4.0). I am thinking if there are conflictions between Black Shadow and Qtek latest WM5.0 ROM. However, we don't experience such bugs using Black Diamond which i regarded it as more stable one and faster than Shadow and some other cooked roms. Unfortunately, i can't access 4winmobile.com and can't comment this to JJ.

Should JJ read this may he give us a solution.

Anyhow, thanks for his great works and best regards.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] unwired4:
For anyone seeing this thread now - there is an updated rom called shadow.rar already posted on wmblack.info and it fixes the problems from this morning.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] y2whisper:
your best bet then would be to post at 4winmobile than here as that is where he supports it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
I was gonna make a new thread to discuss the making of new threads. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wu_ybao:
Hi, i just downloaded and tried the shadow.rar. After flashed it is still the same, can't start properly. Is it possible because of Radio? Someone with radio 1.38 told me his phone working well. By the way, i installed CE-star.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcespi2005:
ey, works great for me with 1.38 right now...so seems your issues aren't related to Radio version.

Try without CE-star (perhaps not compatible), and post results.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gibster:
I find it thoroughly ammusing! all these posts dissing the rom creator and booing if the f**k up the install or the rom isn't perfect! when will you guys realise that we are in the thick of beta land! everything is a gamble! you don't put your head in the ovan just because someone else did and got away with it!

i'm pretty new to this rom business and only tried a few. I *****ed once but then came to my stark realisation. IT'S ALWAYS A GAMBLE! read the notes that come with the rom!

these guys are clued up enough to work at M$ (or Apple. imagine mobile OSX on a tytn!).

I think you guys need to chill and take it as it comes! that's the deal!

that's my 2 pence worth anyway!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
I think all of you that ***** about this or that don't work should STFU and learn how to cook a Fcken ROM and fix the problem yourself after all is this not Xda DEVS? you know what DEVS stands for? well if you don't you probably shouldn't be here flashing roms... but wait its the cool thing to do right? I wish there was no SPLv7 and all you hofo's bricked your hermes trying to be something your not... this post is a waste of space as well as most of the members of this forum that come here for only the reason to get WM6 and make no effort to help the community! name one thing you have done for Xda? name one rom you cooked or recooked? that's what I thought so next time you want to ***** this don't work try fuken fixing it first

And the story ends with another Black Thread Closed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
I hope not. This ROM is really great. The most stable I've used yet, but then again [laughing anticipated], it's only the second one I've used! lol. My first was Black 1.2, and never saw a need to upgrade cause it was very stable and I liked the look of it. This one is indeed a step above, and though I've been looking at some other nice ones, I think until I get the Kaiser I'll be happy with this one. It's a shame people need to bash a guy that does so much for people, but that's the world we live in. Hopefully this thread stays open, the people screwing it up with bull**** can have a temp ban, and they clean-up the BS messages. It's fine to be a critic, but to take personal shots? Are they necessary? :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gibster:
Well, not the first and deffo not the last!

not claiming to be tha guv, but I think the term is "put your brain in gear before opening your mouth".

don't bite the hand that feeds you is also very apt!

wanna come on here and diss the guys that work super hard to make our mobiles better, then I think the best thing to do is study, experiment and post your work on the forum!

if you can do better, bring it on! if not, then shut your chops and be greatful!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jellycow:
So what's the difference?

I've actually looked through both of the threads for Black Shadow...but I don't quite see the point yet and maybe I'm missing something.

So this is a port of the Elf ROM. But since our Hermes don't have the necessary capability for touch interface, so only thing new really is the today plug in.... is that right? Is there any other updates in the OS / Bluetooth / Wifi that makes it worthwhile for the upgrade?

The Today plug-in looks like a black version of Spb Mobile Shell. I had to stop using Mobile Shell as it was just unstable on my phone...I only have PocketWeather installed now. Maybe HTC's version is more stable and better...but it looks like it takes soooo much screen real estate~

For the people who have it installed and is working well on their phone...do you find it more useful? Or is that not a measurable factor? :-D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ronfin44:
I find it very useful. I wasn't expecting TouchFlo, since our screens aren't even capable of handling it, but the Today plugin in itself is worth it. Now I have weather, a larger clock to glance at, SMS, email, and missed calls all in one plugin that is VERY stable and which took the place of WAD. As far as the rest of the ROM? Very nice. Lots of extra memory, and the choice of what to cook inside was great. It's a very stable ROM, and I haven't had any of the problems others have reported, so all I have is good things to say. The only soft resets I've done were due to 3rd party apps that required it. Besides that I wonder if I'll have to SR at all. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Diem:
Thing is, Black roms seem to be so simple complete that way too many (simple) folks are able to use it '-)

Well done JJ, This rom is a piece of art

Shadow

I agree JJ did a fantastic job with the ROM it is stable and FAST!!! I for one appreciate his hard work!!

I have used every ROM.. I think I’ve worn my Hemes out flashing.. This one is by FAR the best...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jellycow:
Woo hoo.

I didn't want to flash things just for the sake of it...knowing my luck, I'm bound to screw things up sooner or later. But this update sounds great and I'll have to jump on it when things settle down. Thanks for the hard work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wu_ybao:
JJ's works shall be appreciated!

:o First of all, i personally, very much appreciated JJ's great efforts of working Black series ROM. I used black 3.0 and diamond for quite long time, and in fact i always recommend these Black ROMs to my friends, the members of hermes rom chatting room with more than 150 members.

Second, my purpose of posting the bugs here is to share the problems and looking forward to possible solutions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
I just thought after that dump of f-bombs a mod would have came along and closed this thread. :-/
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mccreath:
This is for Devs after all

.... I agree in part here, but the whole point of releasing a ROM in a public forum is to solicit constructive feedback on ones endeavours. There are always going to be negatives.

Personally I have been running this ROM for 3 days now and have a couple of bug bares (which seem to have been fixed reading through the other forums, thanks jj).

I do not believe however that criticism should be dismissed, and the DEV-police come knocking on your door with a ****ty stick! Grow the f*ck up.

DEVs we may be, but people who join and contribute to this forum have just as much right to spurt their $0.02.

Take it on the chin as we all do, and quite your elitest "I'm better than you, but haven't been laid in years" nagging.

I was just getting ready to post my off-topic $.02 in the original black shadow thread but it seems to fit more here (think about that :rolleyes: ). When JJ first left to go elsewhere I was upset. But after his last two releases, I was more or less releived to see that all of the n00bs had taken their black issues and dumb questions to 4winmob, releiving us of the clutter. I hope I havent spoke too soon.

hi all,

I've installed today black shadow hoping that the new a2dp will be better than the others (lags). unfortunately the sound quality is not worse than in LVSW and the lags are still there... I've decided to go back to LVSW.

Cheers,

One lockup

One lockup so far last night so the alarm didn't go off this morning. :(

It's probably because I have IMAP polling every 15 minutes. Gonna turn it off and see if it goes away. Everything else is great though.

Tested the Shadow on my wife's Herms from day1.. I had 6 resets, and does not work well with GoodLink, i found it to be slow and buggy overall..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] philg2000:
My £0.02

I have tried just about all the roms offered herein, and of course, those offered elsewhere.

I use exactly the same set of apps with each one.

For me, Black Shadow has performed the worst of all. In 24 hours had to reset 6 times, screen was going corrupt, bluetooth connectivity was up the swanny.

But as I say, that was for me, my own personal experience with the many many apps I have installed. No doubt the rom works as a blinder for others.

I think the lesson here is give it a go, with the config and apps you use, and you can choose to persist and try and resolve issues you have (which may have been possible in my case), or try another rom.

Its just FANTASTIC to have sooo much choice, and thanks to all chefs, inc JJ, for that.

(Black 2.5 was a classic!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
I have used all the blacks since 2.0. The 2.5 being the best and fastest. The Dymond and the Shadow have to many issues with my cingy 8525. I am running NBD 7.1 on my Wizard 8125 and have had not one problem. I guess I will waite and see what Custals 3.0 has as I am now back to his 2.5 which works great.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] leewilko:
Orange UK M3100 has been fine

Myself and my colleague have both zapped Shadow onto our Orange M3100 devices and both have found it to be very stable, no lockups and used as main work phone all day long with MS Exchange pushmail. Bluetooth has been rock solid with my carkit as well.... so far so good as opposed to Black Dymond which my device hated and frequently locked.

Hi i had gotten the leaked 4.2.2 F1 installation was almost done then just failed now when i enter past boot logo screen on phone System Software not authorized by At&t been using odin keeps failing don't know why prob wrong rom I'm trying to use please help been going through this all day
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonNation1:
i know about that already my question is what firmware do i use ? so many different ones i don't know which one to choose?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
NE3 (kitkat) which is easily rootable, which you can then go to lollipop (and keep root) easily enough from there, should you wish. MF1 is ancient, no wonder it's giving you issues.

Even if you don't need or want root, go with NE3. It's the most stable of the recent builds, and from there you can either stay on kitkat or easily upgrade to lollipop, with or without root.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonNation1:
Yeah because now it says firmware upgrade encountered please use samsung kies when i use it doesn't even read my phone when i manually enter the s/n said find model number of phone? after all that so I'm just gonna download the NE3 can u give me a secure download link so i don't mess this up again?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
DON'T use kies. Trust me on that. The download link you asked for. Extract all four files and use all four concurrently with Odin should look like:

I would strongly recommend using Odin v3.09 if you aren't already, I have it for you if you need. Yes I realize the picture shows 3.07 but trust me I've done this a million times
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonNation1:
Alright I'm gonna do it right now hopefully no errors occur I'm gonna post to tell you what happens
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Oh! I should mention, when you do this, your phone will automatically reboot on its own a couple times, and one of those times will be to the stock android recovery. This is completely normal, just leave your phone alone and let Odin do its thing. I say this because I've seen so many people freak out when their phone starts doing stuff on its own. Just let Odin go, it knows what it's doing. Good luck!

Play services 7.0.9.6 supports the current play store, so you can make play services (7.0.9.6) immutable and play store will work after it updates. After getting gps 7.0.9.6 set, see if play store opens okay. If it doesn't, first reboot and try again. If it still doesn't open, uninstall the play store and install v. 5.4.10. Let that version update, then reboot. May take a couple tries.

OK, that said, you may need framework 4.4.4 to support gps 7.0.9.6. I'm no expert; only know what's worked for me for a month on KFSOWI with same problem.

I am unclear why everyone is using old gapps. Can you tell me?

Last thought: If there is an underlying conflict between Fire OS4 and the last gps, all fixes are temp workarounds until someone figures out the real problem or (maybe) until the next gps or Fire OS update "fixes" it.
