Quick question, if I may. Is this ROM set for Cingular WAP or ISP? I thought I saw the proxy manager in the screen shot, but was not sure - bad eyes!! I have bee using the ISP so if it's WAP, I should be able to disable the WAP and configure ISP manually, correct?

Thanks for any responses.

Well my car has very dark tint dark enough you cant see into it. But Im not going to wear them in my car. Im going to use them in my 2007 Freightliner Big Rig SEMI-Truck. The stock radio in my Lexus sounds excelent, but my Big Rig's radio sounds like crap to the point I cant take it anymore. And with the radio on I cant hear the phone and this will solve that problem...

Besides I look funny wether wearing headphones or not...;)

Just flashed the new ROM and it really looks great. The new icons in the task bar are a nice touch. I love that you already adjusted the Button Up/Down Control settings (that is usually my first setting change!)

Synced with Exchange/Active and Windows Live and so far so good!

One thing I have noticed is that tapping the X-Button Quick Menu from the home screen is not as responsive as it was on your last ROM. Not sure if this is a result of version 1.51 or something else.

Overall feels very solid. Will report back in a few days. Thanks for the great work.

This is BY FAR the best ROM for us Cingular/ATT users to date. I'm in awe at the fine tuning and responsiveness of this ROM. I've been a tweaking on these ROMS since switching from being a longtime Palm/Handspring user, and I can honestly say I am finally--- finally!!!! satisfied to enjoy the device with your work. Kudos and I'll definitely send a donation your way bro!

VOIP

I really appreciate your ROMS. They are awesome. Thank you. I am, however, having a problem with VOIP on this ROM. I had it set up on your previous ROM and working perfectly. In fact, every time I flash a new ROM, I set up VOIP and works fine. This time it does not. VOIP isn't finding the service.

Do you know if this is an issue with this ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pcm2a:
I turned the X button off and am continuing to use the Close button manager with SPB Pocket Plus. HTC is getting closer with that X button but they just arent there yet.

I have all my apps installed now and all is flawless! You are for sure the super chef.

I have one question, is this HTC Homescreen plugin the thing I see floting around that shows the clock real big and the weather? I installed it and it's just a few little icons for battery, connection manager, things like that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Is that how it works on Black?

No. sorry. I despise Crackberry and my attitude hasn't wavered yet. ;)

The 'My ISP' profile is already set up for isp.cingular, so just switch to that and you should be good to go. Proxy disable/restore affects PIE only. Nothing's changed with the connection/proxy stuff since v1.0. :)

I've never been able to get VoIP to fully work on either version, so quite honestly I didn't spend a lot of time on it with v2.0. I've always assumed it's because I have a MEdiaNet plan. May require some tweaking.

No, it's not the Touch UI (as the OP states)... it's the today plugin that was cooked into v1.0 (with features you noted). I provided a cab for it in case anyone came up missing it. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DeniaL:
Man, I was just getting content with my ROM, now imma hafta go and change it again! LOL here we go again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jcreamer:
ok Thanks. I'll try some of the VOIP cabs floating around here and see if that does the trick. I'll let you know.

I noticed that I have now radio 1.41.00.10. :confused:

vp3G, was it part of your rom?

I flashed 3 times in the last 2 days so its possible that it happened before.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
There's no radio in this ROM....

As an aside, holy crap this ROM is fast! Internet is quick, no hiccups. Attachments download quick. Is my fav ROM to date.

PIE Browsing Slower over 3G

Ok so I have been using for a few hours now and have noticed some inconsistentcy with download speeds while browsing PIE. I noticed websites were loading slower than usual while in my APT on 3G and H connection.

I ran some speed tests with 2wire.com and got 198 kbps (while showing H)! So I immediately ran some tests with dslreports.com and got around 540 kbps. I am using the ROM default MediaNet settings and radio 1.41 in downtown Chicago.

Is anyone else having speed issues browsing with PIE?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Hmmmm...... 555 kps in So FLA, 1.40 radio. I normally have around 850 kps ....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edhaas:

Thanks for the quick response. Can't believe how many times I looked at Sounds and Notifications, saw programs and did not see Notifications. That took care of it. Sorry for my brain cramp.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gnafin:
Hey vp3G......you going to make a new one with the new rom out thier???? the 2.0 work great
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
What would be the point since VP3G has NEWER versions of so many of the programs. I guess the base is newer but I doubt it is any better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gnafin:
well i am just hoping the new rom would work with m$vc1.6 with out any reg fix.....thats all....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Broken:
Speaking of that, anyone know how to get the Cyberon Voice Speed dial 1.2 to respond from BT headsets? On stock AT&T rom I press the headset button and it launches the Voice Dial application, but on this rom it does not. I can press the assigned key on the phone and start the app but it is not transfered to the headset. I am using the Hybrid, should I go to the RTM for this to work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
open up Bluetooth\Devices and press on the headset you want to use, Tap..set as hands free.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
If you're running they Hybrid, it needs a patch. See post #2. RTM has been reported to work without the patch.

Seems to be an issue only with some devices. Some ROMs use SetAcousticParameters, but I haven't figured out what it does yet.

I'll certainly be evaluating it as a potential base to upgrade the RTM variant, but as wpbear noted most of the apps in my ROMs are newer anyway.

Sounds a bit lazy to me... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gnafin:
ya, well i could never get it to work......i think i need a newer build of m$vc1.6.....but i like your 2.0h.......as i am going back to it now....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Broken:
My headset is already set as Hands Free. Any other ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Just installed CVSD 1.2 on the Hybrid and it's working fine with my Jabra 250v. Could another app be interfering?

Or hey, maybe your member name is bad karma? :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
And therein lies your problem. Sounds like you updated the radio only. There's no radio included with my ROM, however!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Broken:
Could very well be...

:P

Anyway, now with an update. Turned My JX10 back on and hit the button and now it is working. Go figure.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hankster:
Best thing I ever did

Great work vp3G the rom is awsome, can't say enough!

SMS/MMS selection menu annoyance

@VP3g:

First off, please let me tell you that I really like your ROM. Used to be an LVSW man, but am now converted!!!

There is one annoyance which I didn't notice in other cooked WM6 builds- I'm talking about the messaging app, where you get SMS/MMS as one menu item. I think I can safely speak for the majority when I say that the ratio between SMSes and MMSes sent is probably like 100 to 1. I'd love to be able to select SMS only as a menu item. Now if I want to send an SMS, I need to select the SMS/MMS option, then go into "new" and select SMS in a sub menu.

Perhaps this is something that can be set in the registry? Or is it a question of the version of the app itself?

Glad for any pointers... And thanks again for your great ROM!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
I see a few in a row about MS VC and I will let you know I gave up on it with BT Dialing. It SUCKS...about 20% of the time it works the way it is supposed to. But I dont really use BT that much so I still only install MS VC instead of Cyberon since I dont need to manually create voicetags or reload the backup after every HR.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Coinstar99:
I really liked this rom and this is the one that I want to run till the official one comes out but I have one issue and I wanted to know if anyone else had this issue. When using the at&t Mobile IM app the enter or return key will not send the message. With the WM5 rom, official it does. Has anyone run into this or am I the only person that uses this app?

Otherwise man this is an awesome rom!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
While the integration of SMS/MMS into a combined Inbox is definitely a "feature" of ArcSoft MMS 4.0, I don't know for sure if the menu can be tweaked and I'm reasonably sure all of the more recent ROMs that include MMS 4.0 have this same submenu constraint.

I agree that the ratio is probably 100:1 for most and that's why I ran a poll. I was a bit surprised so many people actually like the integrated approach. Personally, I prefer them to be separated, but I don't use either very much.

Still in a quandry as what I will do for the next release. Noticed the Hermes RTM has 3.5.

:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Gosh, you may be the only one. Well, there must be two people in the world using it unless you're IM'ing yourself.... :D

Seriously though, I've never heard of it. Can you enlighten me?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dapzmob:
id rather sms and mms be seperated like in the official...**** id rather whatever version came with wm5..i like the new button instead of the del. button under my softkey
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Coinstar99:
Well if you are serious, either you are mocking me, or I am just really lame, lol! Anyway when you go to the at&t media net homepage and go down to Mail and Messaging Link, the first option after it opens the webpage is Mobile IM. I use it cause it stays connected when you are on a call, even on edge cause it uses SMS as opposed to data, drives me nuts when I make a call and apps like IM+ don't reconnect, also it doesn't use much in the way of battery. Well anyway, thats it,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Hmmm... yeah, it's been a loooong time since I've run WM5. So are you saying in version the left soft key was 'New' instead of 'Delete'?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MHC48:
I didn't vote before the poll closed because I hadn't had a chance to use it before now. I agree, it really sucks, at least the part which adds the extra steps to send a message. And I don't think I've ever sent an MMS except to test it.

As far as a next release, so far I haven't heard of anything I really need or want. But like - I'm sure everyone else - would be interested to see if you find anything worthwhile in the new Official ROM to make it worth updating your present tasty and excellently cooked ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Well, IMO the XIP (CE part) is damn speedy, but the imgfs (apps, etc. part) is rather lackluster and mostly outdated compared to my v2.0.

ATM, I'd say be looking for a next-gen 'Hybrid'... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
If the RTM is using 3.5 then that is what I would use if you're aiming to build an AT&T optimized rom.

I don't care for the integrated boxes either. I get a lot of texts so the MMS's I get get lost very easily in my sea of texts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Yeah, I don't know where 4.0 came from... probably one of the other HTC device ROMs. Fully expected the Hermes "official" to have it. :rolleyes:

I believe that's why folks use the Palm threader app. I don't use messaging enough to even evaluate it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Coinstar99:
I would love to use the Palm app, it doesn't work for me. When I take a pic and want to send it somewhere I hit the little envelope, nothing happens. Its odd, and sometimes messages don't send. With the SMS/MMS app that comes in the rom it works everytime. Oh well win some lose some
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dapzmob:
Ya vp3g...the latest ATT build(wm5) the left softkey is "new". I personally find it more convenient to have the new button rather then delete, as well as have the inbox's split. Palm threaded is cool.. but theres somethin about it that makes me not have it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Those must be MMS-es, then and my guess is that the threader app doesn't integrate properly with MMS... only SMS. SMS is really part of the WM messaging core while MMS is "tacked onto it", if you will. I'm not entirely sure how they accomplished the combined Inbox, quite frankly. There's a gazillion reg keys for MMS. :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Thinking that may be due to how the WM messaging core is laid out in WM5 vs. WM6. Probably not the MMS version as the left key 'Delete' appears on all types of accounts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Coinstar99:
I have looked to see if the Arcsoft MMS app is out there in a cab file cause that would solve all my problems. I can't seem to find it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Not sure it would work as a cab, and if someone could actually pull it off I'd bow to them in awe... :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Hahaha... no worries... I was just being the sarcastic bastard I normally am. :)

Thanks for the pointer and I'll check it out, but I'm guessing it needs to be updated for WM6. :(

Seriously didn't know what it was, but I've always thought MEdiaNet had some pretty cool sh*t that very few know even exists...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Coinstar99:
The Mobile IM app is nice, it actually gets as close as possible without all the sucking of some of the features of the sidekick, ie always on AIM and being able to call and crap, but oh yea did I mention the not sucking part. Sorry to hijack your thread about the ROM..... good info all around
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
No worries and I agree... good info! Good as this ROM is I really have to dig for stuff to improve upon... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
I've got the Arcsoft MMS 3.0.7.19 in a cab installer. I don't know if it is wise to install it over an existing Arcsoft install though. When I downloaded it, it was meant to be installed on a clean rom that didn't have the composer packaged with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tiptoekirk:
EXCELLENT ROM!! Thank you very much.. Still playing with it but it seems to be doing the job great! I have noticed a few times the phone will freeze but and i will need to reset for it to work but after that it is fine.. Thanks for the streaming update, i was unable to use youtube, but it is working fine now..

Also ive noticed an H show up several times specially while downloading or streaming, it replaced ths 3G icon, is this normal?? Never seen an H show up on any other phones that ive used with Cingular.

Anyone know where I can download the palm threader application that was mentioned in this thread, i to find that new arcsoft a pain when trying to send a quick sms to someone..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] V DidDy 210:
hey guys,

quick question, i have the RTM build and everything is doing well but my problem is that i have a mac with tiger. with WM5 it connected the PAN fine, but now the PAN is grayed out and it won't connect. any ideas? or should i upgrade to the Hybrid? which claims to have better bluetooth reception.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Prerna:
"H" as HSDPA, which is an upgrade of 3G. It is normal to have it come only when exchanging datas, and again go.

Current HSDPA deployments now support 1.8 Mbit/s, 3.6 Mbit/s, 7.2 Mbit/s and 14.4 Mbit/s in downlink. See here for a complete info on HSDPA:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsdpa
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tiptoekirk:
OK that is what i thought it meant but I wasnt totally sure and it didnt show up all the time like 3G so that threw me off even more.. Is ATT currently working on setting this upgrade in the DC area?? I have not noticed any better download speeds even when testing with www.dslreports.com/mspeed in fact it seems as if my download speeds have actually SLOWED down a bit..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
v3.0 cooking in progress...

Cooking and initial testing of v3.0 (based on the "official" AT&T ROM) has gone well. ATM I've got it up to ~50mb free storage without being emaciated.

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
Are you keeping the animated Splash VP? on 3.0?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MHC48:
Anyone already using either flavor of version 2.0 already trusts your judgment. But if any input is desired, I'd say: emaciate away! Who needs all that AT&T bloatware? Just keep all the extras you put into ver 2.0 and give us as much storage space as possible.

With all the extra storage space in ver 2.0 RTM, I was able to install more programs in main memory and avoid any difficulties from running them out of the storage card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
It'll be an add-on cab, if I get my way. Occupies nearly 2mb of storage and slows the boot process waaaaay down.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
That's exactly where I'm headed with it, but it's a tough slog through all their bloat. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tylr:
Question for you VP - your ROMs are usually just OS updates. Are you including the new radio in 3.0 or should it be done separately?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
v3.0 will be OS and splash screens only. I'd say the jury is still out on 1.48...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chymmylt:
Out of curriosity, do you have any idea how the call it on boot? I've tried just for kicks creative my own rom using the OS and Ext_ROm from the Dopod but the primary and secondary splash from the AT&T rom and also injected the .GIF and .WAV files and the reg entries into the Dopod OS.NB. It boots fine but doesn't run the animation or sound. I think there must be a DLL or something that's called on boot that makes this work but don't have a clue what it is. Do you have any idea what I'm missing on this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
@chymmylt:

Might be StartupAnimationEngine.dll that you're looking for. Almost seems like the boot sequence is built around the animation, so it may still not work with the Dopod ROM.

There's actually 2 of them in the AT&T ROM... nearly 3mb being eaten up by that silly crap! :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
Why does AT&T do that ****?! It's like they don't even give a crap about their customers.

At least we have great people like you here to straighten out all of their mistakes :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chymmylt:
I'll take a look at that - maybe that'll do it (Donno how I missed such an obviously named file!) :) I know it takes up a large amount of space but I've been trying to use it for a very particular custom applicatation :) I'll let you know if it does what I need :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chymmylt:
Hey stupid question - which kitchen are you using? I can't seem to get StartupANimationEngine.dll exracted from the rom. I've tried all the kitchens I have but can't seem to dump that file for some wierd reason. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Prerna:
Dear vp3G, many thanks for the ROMs, as well as your generous support!

I've been using 2.0 RTM since release, and it treated me well, apart from occasional (and boring) SDOs.

Now, I'm tempted to try the black satin, given I like the black themes and other stuffs... Could you briefly tell what are the main differences between the black series and the upcoming 3.0, so that it'll help make up my mind?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hitandrun972:
hybrid

i've been using the hybrid version for over a week now and what I found is that any radio above 1.43 will have a problem with the Wifi, including the new version 1.6&7. When i downgrade my radio to 1.41, then the phone has been very stable.

The trouble with the Wifi for me was it keeps prompting for the secure key, but I have a valid key. Also sometime all sudden wifi won't keep turn on.

Hopefully this will help a lot of you out there. Hybrid has been working great! Thanks the Chef so much for doing this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
I was running radio 1.40 and am now running 1.48 and I have had zero problems with Wifi.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SaarAvigour:
On 1.47, zero problems at all, inc. no WiFi probs.

VP3G Man, with the Hybrid, you've made the magic and eliminated SOD for keeps. Would you ever consider to share with us how it'll be appreciated, but even if not I'm OK as long as it's gone for good...:-)

Unless a V3.x Hybrid is made available some time in the future, the 2.0.1H remains on our Hermesses.

Thank you for the good work...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
does the smart dialer that exist in a vanilla wm5 ROM straight from ATT's website NOT exist in any of the WM6 roms?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Radio shouldn't have anything to do with WiFi as it's GSM code only... but you never know. :rolleyes:

@SaarAvigour:

If I knew how I "cured" SOD, I'd tell you... lol. Perhaps just the stability of the 1238 kernel (and maybe the SDHC drivers?) paired with the rock-solid 17913 imgfs... I don't honestly know! Personally I've suspected the SOD issues could be SD card related...

I actually had a v2.5 Hybid about ready for release when the "official" Cingular ROM hit. v2.5h is/was a mating of the 1437 xip (CE kernel) with the same old "tried and true" 17913 imgfs. Minor issues with v2.0h had been addressed and a few apps refreshed. I'm still keeping v2.5h in reserve to see how v3.0 goes over. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Sorry, but I haven't really kept up with the Black ROMs enough to give you specifics.

JJ is a great chef and his ROMs tend to have a bit more "bling" than mine. Beyond that all I can say is it doesn't cost anything to try any of them. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] V DidDy 210:
hey

i have 1.4 radio, and v2.0H

would it be beneficial to upgrade my radio?

i never have good success with wi-fi it never bothers me because of my excellent edge support (no 3G in albany,ny :( ) but i get 5 bars almost everywhere, would an upgraded radio help anybit?
