SmartDialer Info...

Does this hybrid version have the same 'Smart Dialer' as 1.0? That's the best dialer in my opinion. I like pressing the dial button and going to recent call history instead of redialing the last number automatically.

thx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Unchanged from v1.0. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MHC48:
Excellent!

v2.0 CommManager

For those who'd like to add the v2.0 CommManager onto v2.0h, there's a cab now available on post #2. :)

Be sure to stop CommManager via Memory applet before installing!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] deenice:
Thanks vp3G. Your work is awesome!

I can copy replace in the windows dir but in the VC dir it says the file is in use or theres a sharing violation. Ive reset a few times and checked the memroy applet to see if anythings running but nothing is there. Sorry this is probably a very rudimentary issue but any help is appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] UllSang:
So vp3G which version are you running?

4gb SDHC support added to "Hybrid" variant

v2.0h "Hybrid" variant has been updated to support 4gb SDHC cards...

Someone please report back if it works for you as I don't have a 4gb card to test with. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] whatledog:
Okay, I just got your RTM going just right... but, in the name of "science" and because you're so good to us to give your ROM to us all, I'm flashing the hybrid now. (please don't let my wife know! I'm an avid flasher:D ) And...

My 4gb sdhc reads as 3878.50 mb, as normal. So, I guess it'll work fine. Now I'm gonna stick with for a while. I think;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Success!

Cool. Thanks for the quick flash, whatledog! If you stick with the "Hybrid" for awhile I'll be interested to hear your thoughts re: it vs. the "RTM"... :)

Oh, and I'm ringing your wife now... :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Edvard_Greig:
Thanks T! I wasn't even paying attention to the comm manager running in the background, that definitely took care of it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] expletive:
Thanks for the great ROM, i installed it yesterday and its working great! Is there any way to add SDHC support to the 2.0h i flashed yesterday or was it already included? ( I downloaded it around 10am EST)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Sorry, it's a driver update so a reflash is required. Updated download is actually 2.0.1h and was posted around 1:30a EST Saturday morning...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] UllSang:
Last night i flashed the RTM and it did not agree with my bluetooth devices the Jabra BT500 and my logitech MX5000 bluetooth reciever. So i just flashed the new 2.0.1H version and will let you know how that goes. I dont have SDHC cards so i cant test that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] UllSang:
Hmm.. Both versions do not with with my headset. i get this weird noise like a whirring high pitch sound all the time.. any ideas? Before i flashed to these version i ran AT&T WM5 and then Black Dymond and i had no issue with BT.

*EDIT* after a power off and power on, it now seems to work. The sound quality is okay, i am going to do some more tests but this is weird. */EDIT*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xirex:
New user here, with a brand new 8525. I didn't like WM5 so I decided to give this ROM a try.

I flashed it a few days ago without any problems, and so far, I'm loving this ROM. However... I've been experiencing some big problems with sleep mode.

After I hit the power button to put the phone to sleep, it will sometimes turn itself back on. Sometimes it will come back a few minutes later, a few hours later, or even just a few seconds after I've hit the button. I don't believe this is caused by any program that I have installed after the upgrade. Sometimes this happens when I have PIE open, or an IM, or sometimes nothing at all. It eats up my battery and I always run the risk of launching programs if it happens when its in my pocket.

The other thing that happens is it will just lock up while in sleep mode, and I have to perform a soft reset. I've been careful not to install any system programs or today screen plugins to the storage card. It will lock up after I've left it alone for a seemingly random period of time, and it doesn't appear to matter what programs I have running.

Has anyone else experienced these problems?

vc 1.6

stop vc then add the files
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Usually caused by a third party app. The ROM does not exhibit this behavior out of the box, I can assure you. May want to post a list of apps you have installed so others can weigh in.

Random Bluetooth Issue

Hey everyone. I REALLY like the new Rom, 2.01 HYBRID. However, I am experiencing a unique BT issue. The bluetooth will connect, sound perfect for a while, and then randomly disconnect. I'll check the comm manager, and the bluetooth indicator is off (blue, with a red X). I turn it back on, connects just fine, and then a few minutes later... same thing.

Sometimes it happens RIGHT as I want to make a call, and I hear an odd beeping tone before the call fails and I check the phone only to see the BT is now off. I hav enot lost a call yet... this only happens before it connects, or as it is just sitting around.

Random question here... I downloaded this rom mid afternoon yesterday, so it HAS to be the new one right? and in my Device Information the rom version is vp3G 2.0h not 2.0.1h does that mean I some how installed the previous version? or is this mearly an oversight in the new version?

I love the rom, but I am an avid BT user, so the sooner we solve this problem the better.

Thanks guys, and I really appreciate everyone' s help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] theboyrob:
Lovely Rom, very fast! Bu far the fastest I have used!

But, just one problem, no Remote Desktop? :(

And I use this all the time for work!

Any chance of adding it in with a seperate cab?

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tiptoekirk:
Downloading now and plan on flashing as soon as its done.. Ive read the whole thread and it seems like this is a very nice rom for us 8525 users! I will report back and let you know how it goes once everything is installed. Thanks for the hard work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Device info still says 2.0h, but I'm sure you got the latest. BT only varies between 2.0 and 2.0h anyway.

With regard to your problem, did you try the 2.0 RTM first? The random shutoff seems to have plagued the Hermes all along regardless of the ROM. If you keep the Hybrid and the problem persists, you may want to consider a hard reset or even reflashing.

EDIT: If you're seeing a red 'X' on 2.0h it sounds like you updated the CommManager. If so, remove it and see if the OEM has the same issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Yep, they're all over this forum, including my v1.0 thread. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] UllSang:
So after further experimentation i have found that once the connection works it works well very well. I have no issues and it sounds amazing actually better than ever. Definitely keeping the Hybrid version.

Do I need to delete my previous windows mobile 6 installation or just install over. Sorry for the noob question I havent switched windows mobile 6 roms ever. Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Imonstrous:
Let's give it a shot.

Thank you vp3g for your response, it is appreciated. No, I have not yet tried RTM. I found the thread, and went straight to Hybrid (I thought that was recommended for bluetooth users).

I have currently uninstalled the newer comm manager. I will try it out today, and let you guys know tonight.

just for my edification...

Why would reflashing help? The rom hasn't crashed, things seem fine... wouldn't that indicate a proper flashing? (I know the BT thing isn't fine... but you know what I mean, no big errors...)

and...

Does the comm manager actually control anything? I was under the impression it was a toggle... you know just change some system variables around...

does it DO anything to the BT stack? If this is completely retarded, just let me know, and I'll be more than happy to keep researching.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] venelar:
just run the RUU for the new rom and flash right over the old one

Having some trouble downloading the HomePlugin from your first post.. It stops and hangs at 230k any other place I can download this cab file? Thanks! btw, got the rom installed and it is GREAT so far, i have to test it more once i get back into the states(in Germany now) but i think i will run it for a while! Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Just curious, really... it's BT works fine for some people, so you still have that as an option if the hybrid keeps giving you fits.

Don't know that it would, but these devices are so complicated that sometimes a flash just doesn't seem to "set" right for whatever reason.

I don't know a lot about the inner workings of the Comm Manager, but obviously it is polling the radio status and the like. Probably no relation whatsoever to the BT issues, however I chose to leave 2.0h as close to "stock" as possible in any BT-related area, just in case...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Imonstrous:
vp3G,

I haven't had the time yet to do a scientific test of the suggestion to delete the new comm manager. I have deleted the updated Comm manager and to my surprise... it seems to be working just fine for the 20 minutes I drove around town.

I have a 4 hour drive ahead of me today (from san diego up north), in which I WILL know if it works or not. However it seemed to do the trick.

Maybe I'm completely fooling myself thus far, according to CUSTEL the comm manager should have no effect at all, it would be the blue tooth stack. However, if this fix did solve the issue... that would mean the comm manager does a little more than I was aware of.

is there any resource you guys recommend I read to learn the ins and outs of the BT stack.

(I have a degree in software engineering, and though I'm not the best programmer around... I think I could pick it up.)

I imagine the stack pushes each new connection/device and pops them when they are off? I just can't see how the implementation of a stack could be that fundamentally flawed...

Thanks for the help guys... I hope you guys don't get too annoyed with my questions

vp3G,

This ROM ROCKS! I've tried easily 5 others plus kept them updated as they released new versions. I'm a big fan of Schaps' and I liked that yours is based on his. But I tried your Hybrid and it was instantly my favorite. BT finally works awesome, speed is noticeably improved over the RTM, IMO, and all the little details are taken care of. Very impressive. I did add Custell's Cingular Apps and everything works for the first time on my 8525: XM, Mobi, Cellular Video, VOIP, everything, right from the start, no headaches, no hours tweaking, no compromises. Thanks for a great ROM, I doubt the official WM6 release could come close!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SkOrPn:
Hmm, sounds very promising.... maybe I should try it too...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Thought you already installed my Hybrid build... :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xirex:
Couldn't figure out what was causing my suspend issue, so I went ahead and flashed the 2.0.1h build over the regular 2.0. No problems since.

I swear my phone had a mind of its own. I suffered one night of charging it via USB, and after that I had to reflash it first thing in the morning! I hardly got any sleep at all! The phone would break the usb connection and then reconnect it immediately, causing the computer to play that USB connection sound every 20 minutes or so... Each time it did this, the phone's screen would flash on and the radio would start communicating with whatever it was it felt like talking to. (I know because the radio on my 8525 seems to cause havok with every electronic device I own) So not only would the PC be making noise, the phone would beep, flash, and the radio screwed with all the speakers in the room.

I only put the usual software on the phone... Opera, IM, some assorted tools, but I was sure none of them were running at the time. I doubt it was a software issue but I don't know what else would have caused it to be so flakey like that. Maybe something just got borked during the flash... who knows.

Anyway... After all the headache this caused, I'm glad its settled down because I love this ROM over the standard WM5! I'm definately liking all the programs that came with this release and I'm glad I made the decision to muck with the OS. Keep it up and I'll be watching for any updates!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SkOrPn:
Nope not yet, I was running your 2.0 until today when I decided to install Black Majik for about an hour and then I went back to AT&T Official until I could sit down with some time on my hands and work on this.

In the end I would like to be running one of your cingularized roms though. Hey vp do you know where to find the HTChome Touch UI that is used on other roms like Black by chance, the one that has the weather and launcher? I have searched now twice and both times I came up short.

HTC Home plugin

It is attached here.

I think it was in the Wizard forum at least that is where I snagged it from a while ago. It works with this rom with no problems that I can discern at this time. I would recommend getting the color mods from this forum. They work well. I ended up pasting just the colored icons in without the separators because the lines between the icons went a little haywire but your mileage may vary.

I liked the red or green numbers with a black theme.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Oh, well, if that's what you meant by a wake-up problem, I've never been able to keep mine in sleep mode while connected USB.

The speaker interference is inherent to GSM and should go away once it's in 3G mode. Sounds like it must have been in G or E.

Coincidence?

First off, thanks for your roms vp3G...they are most excellent!

I'm not sure if this is just coincedence or if it means anything, but I was on the train this morning reading Google News. I tried to open 3 articles simultaneously (3 separate windows in Opera). While I was only connected to Edge at the time, they were opening painfully slowly. I noticed that I had bluetooth turned on while my headset (Jawbone) was off, so I turned bluetooth off and all 3 windows immediately started loading as they normally would have.

I'm not asking for help or anything, just thought I'd mention it. BTW...using 8525 with v 2.0.1h...

8525 acting wierd...HELP!

First off, when charging my phone in the car or at home after about 10 to 15 mins i hear a ticking noise, when i look at the screen everything would be malfunctioning, like the start menu would drop down and back up by it self, when i press contact it would go to contact for a second then back to the home screen. I cant access anything. I had the latest shcaps rom installed, radio version 1.43. Last night i when back to the original cingular rom and still the same issues.... can someone tell me what to do please:confused: ! Thanks in advance.......

vp3G, why won't the Intent Midlet Manager run properly on your ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
@singrysweets:

Sorry to say it's a hardware issue as I just got one back from HTC today that had developed the same affliction. Has to be something on the motherboard that's also affected by the heat generated from charging the battery. It acts as if the screen has gone bad, but it hasn't (tried replacing mine). If you search XDA long enough you'll find that several have had the same 'phantom tapping' issue.

How long have you had it and what's your serial number (curious for comparison purposes)? I strongly suspect that it's a known problem with the Hermes and that HTC goes out of their way to keep it on the D-L. :rolleyes:

I've got two questions ...

Does anyone else always have the roaming indicator lit up? How do I get rid of it? Adding the HKLM->Drivers->BuiltIn->ril->DisableRoamingIndication set to 1 doesn't seem to turn it off.

Is anyone else having an issue with not receiving an e-mail notification? Although on this end, it might be something to do with my voicemail provider (youmail).

I wasn't having either issue with the previous version 1 of vp3G's Cingular optimized ROM.

Thanks for your help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
@singhnx:

Not sure about either of those issues, but I'd guess the roaming may have something to do with you being one of those old AT&T Blue people. :D

If all else fails, you may want to try v2.0h. It's internals are basically the same as v1.0.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Don't know, just hasn't with the more recent gens of WM6.

Princeasi came up with an older version of Intent that does work. He's been on an anti-Esmertec crusade for awhile now, so if he's happy with it I trust that it must work. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
Ah, that would explain why it worked on my Wizard WM6. It was an older WM6 build.

My biggest gripe with the Esmertec environment is that it doesn't support click-and-drag functionality. When using Opera Mini, this was a very useful feature, and Esmertec doesn't support it :(

moisha's hack

I want to first thank vp3G for posting this fine work.

I understand your loathing of crackberry, so I also understand there are no replies to this post. Hopefully I have detailed it enough and researched enough that it is a quick yes or no answer.

I have been reading the threads about this rom and elf's rom, and I cannot tell if Elf's supports sdhc 4gb, but suspect it doesn't. I am unfortunately in the position that I must have crackberry for work, so I'm going to use moisha's hack as you stated in the second post in this thread. I have used hexedit 2.0

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/simtelnet/win95/editor/hexfre20.zip

to modify the RUU_signed.nbh and ran a binary file compare in dos as shown below:

fc /b orig.nbh ruu_signed.nbh

Comparing files orig.nbh and RUU_SIGNED.NBH

0020BE18: 45 C3

0020BE19: 2F 30

0046980A: 45 C3

0046980B: 2F 30

00469812: 02 01

I am afraid that I have not read enough prior to editing the rom hex, and really really don't want to brick my phone. From what I understand, these hex edits and the registry key aku edit should get me home. Can anyone verify if I have done this correctly?

so far I have only flashed carrier's roms and an updated radio rom, but I've been reading.....

my phone is not hard-spl, so I'm also reading if I need to do that prior to flashing this. I will probably use the sdcard upgrade method if that works since it does not rely on a computer.

Thanks,

Wes
