Streaming Media without skin

Hi Everybody,

The Streaming Media in 7.1/8.0 beta has no background image (the sv_Bg.bmp, sv_Bg_L.bmp and sv_Bg_P.bmp are all black in the OEM package). Can anybody provide a fix?

Thanks

Does anyone know why my time on the PDA changes everytime I sync?

My computer has the correct time and so does my PDA. But, when I sync the PDA the time changes. This only seems to happen when I build a ROM with Pandora Build 7 & 8
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MistaRip:
ok. it got rid of the <.A> but there's also no options line.

is that what it was meant to do?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Ahhh.... good question.

In the "wrong" version of the .rgu, it contains the MMS settings for 3.5. These settings were being overwrote by the ones in the MMS 4.2 version. Apparently there are conflicing settings - but possibly this menu option is only available in 3.5??? That would be my guess, based on what you see.

On a similar note - has anyone noted problems using SMS/MMS following the implementation of this? I want to be sure there isn't any other issues :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I've heard of this one before, but am not sure what it ended up being. I seem to remember something about setting the proper time zone in ActiveSync or on the phone - but really not sure.

Did you use the PreCofig option? I know it sets the default initial timezone, but I don't believe that it would prevent your PDA from properly syncing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Have used Pandora 8 with and without this patch. In both case MMS/SMS worked perfectly, no sign of the (A) ever been noticed, and the Options menu has been always in it's place.

Perhaps, it's another package that is doing something wrong. On the other hand, I have deleted both folders and left only MMS 4.2 when cooking.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I was only aware of this in v7.1, but thanks for the info on 8. I still haven't tried it :eek:

Ive just upgraded my UK T-Mobile phone to WM6 and now none of the SMS messaging is working, they just stay in the outbox all the time, i am also not receiving any sms messages.

I have tried to look in the Phone panel and access the Service Center number but it keeps saying that it cannot access the setting and try again later. Any ideas?

Change the timezone will do the trick

Yes as you said if you change the timezone it will do the trick especially for day time saving.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
what kitchen build are you using - and if you're using 7.1, are you using the posted .rgu file?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chymmylt:
Yeah I was having this problem last week when I flashed a friends wizard for her and every time I tried to pair it with her computer it changed the time by an hour - finally I figured out that her computer was set to Central time zone where I am in eastern and kept setting her phone to eastern - once I figured that out and set her computer to the correct timezone that fixed the problem.

So learn from my long to learn lesson (who would have thought they wouldn't have the right timezone on their computer???) - check and make sure that both the computer and the phone have the SAME timezone!!

Resetting call time

Matt (or anyone else):

I have noticed that the Call Duration under settings...device information isn't zeroed out when building / installing a new rom. Where does this reside? Can it be reset?

Any help would be appreciated...

Reset Calling Time

Shadee,

The calling time is the time logged on your SIM, I believe. I'm not 100% positive though. I don't think it has anything to do with the rom/phone.

I have been known to be wrong!

I've been using v8 lately and just letting everyone know, I've had NO problems what so ever! It's a nice fast Rom, a few too many Shortcut folders but I have no complaints.

I'm also using MuN's 3G Dailer and it seems to be working pretty well.

Anyone have problems with Video Dail?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TSM:
Yep, noticed that my build was v7 from when i downloaded it a couple of days ago.

Thanks.

Now im having issues with connection to the 3G internet, prolly just temp probs with the T-Mobile UK provider.

I can confirm this... Not working.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Is this different on the Hermes than the Wizard? Every time I would hardreset my Wizard, or install a new ROM, the call duration in the Wizard would zero out. With the Hermes, this doesn't happen.

I don't want to clutter this thread with something that might not be related to Pandora, but it seems weird that my Wiz would zero out after installing a new ROM.

To check this...if someone would be so kind to take notice of their call durations JUST BEFORE installing a new ROM or hard resetting their device and then check afterward (this assumes you actually USED the phone at least a few minutes between hard resets / new ROM install) and see if the call durations CHANGE (go Up or Down) or stayed the same.

If they are the same, Drew is right. If they change, then something in Pandora has call durations in the ROM build. This was probably resident from the rip of the original ROM.

I will also check this myself; I am planning on testing 8.0 beta 2 this weekend.

Call duration

In all of the roms I have used to this point call duration has remained. As far as being logged to the sim that seems to not be the case because my hermes went TU thursday and I had my new one shipped to me on Friday. Call duration on the new phone is reset even though I am using my sim.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Thanks caturix...that's what I thought.

Soooo...if call duration is not saved on the sim, where does it reside in the ROM? Hopefully someone bright here might help us find it...I have nosed around to no avail. I suspect it's in the OS.nb.

shadee
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
not to distract from your conversation, but I got an email from someone who can't receive them back.

The question was - why have the ROM options - such as 3.60 or 3.61, when the OEM/SYS should aready have them in it <roughly summarized>...

Here's the details on the folders you need in your kitchen folder:

OEM - contains software and drivers specific to the device you're using as well as packages provided by the device manufacturer/distributer.

SYS - contains the base WinCE operating system components.

ROM - contains your phone image map and components specific to how/where memory is allocated and used in the device. (rough summary)

Tools - contains utilities needed to create the .nbh and flash to device.

Temp - temporary location for BuildOS/CreateROM files to compile a dump folder prior to building the compiled .nb image.

BuildOS - used to compile the package choices into dump format.

CreateROM - compiles the dump folder into a .nb image.

pkgcommon - suspect it's used by BuildOS to support it's operation. Never confirmed.

Hope this helps.

i have a major doubt

hi, i always like to test new roms that are released.

But after one rom change i am unable to call numbers starting with +1 but when i try to edit them and remove the +1 and try the call it works.. what could be wrong.i noticed that this happened to calls within toronto ( my home town) alone and not with any calls to outside canada or to the US. i tired to change the radio version and also played different rom s available but nothing seem to solve this issue...

SO i thought that it was a network issue and left it alone as it was impossible to work this out with ROGERS ( my network provider)

But now when i used cyphols gold edition i was able to make calls with any no. that starts with +1 , ie local or not

TOday i changed to this V 8 o this kitchen and i found that the issue is back...

so can any expert or novice like me tell me what is that is different between cyphols gold edition and other roms thats making this happen....

i have posted this query in cyphols thread as well
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
with 7.1, are you using the "fixed" .rgu for OEMApps? If so, it may be becuase of that. Try using the version from the original download and see if it fixes it. If so, I'll need to find out why.

As for 8.0 - this is the first I've heard of it. Anyone else confirm this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I haven't noticed / known about this - but if you do find more out - please pass along the info. It would be a nice fix to not have to worry about dialing 1 every time. Since I only call long distance from my contact list (which all numbers have +1 with it, I never knew.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
I'm using 8.0

I can connect!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] yes2000:
oh dear

how this i tried it with all ways full day i can not get it to work

i am in vodafone uk

and i can not get it to work even i used another TNT rom is the same issue
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Techvir:
matt what i meant was , in simple terms, for local no. s, if i have +1 before the no. then the call doesnt go through. So i had to delete the +1 before dialing the local no. s

I was never able to figure this issue out and so allowed it to stay on and i have never heard anyone having this issue as well....

But now i have cyphol gold edition and for me its the most stable and fastest rom available as well... so happy with the situation

But if i could find the reason why all other roms except cyphols have this issue, it would be a triumph

Many thanks,please help

Everything works fine with 7.1 just i have more one question i have licenced software works with v8.0 not work with v 7.1 are anything i can change in V7.1 to make it working
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chymmylt:
I have +1 infront of every contact in my phone and it calls Local, Long Distance, Interntational no problem - are you sure this isn't something your carrier imposes? I know my boss can just dial a local number with out 1 or area code on her phone but I can't (differn't carriers) - just a thought.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] yes2000:
Thanks for the pervious help

last question i have licenced software how can i repair the licens
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
The licence for your purchased is often kept in the registry on your PPC. If you've made an OEM you could usually export the registry entry in HKCU/Software or HKLM/Software on your PPC and copy the line with your licence code into the .rgu file you've made.

I've done the same for a couple of OEMs. It's a handy timesaver.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Huh? What? I'm guessing that due to the release of the other ROM that was posted in another thread, that Matt's either busy with that or actually taking some personal time. I think he's earned a well deserved vacation! That other ROM was only in Chinese from what I could tell and I'm a dingus at doing this stuff myself, so I'm trying to leave what I can to the pros. If I am stuck with v7.1. I had weird issues with 8.0 b1, so I'm scared of b2 especially since I'll be on vacation and need a stable ROM for my trusty phone. I'll be glad to test whatever's out when I get back though. I will gladly take stuff with me to test too if someone can get it out by this Friday?

UndeadDevil, I have the OEM package from previous releases of Pandora's kitchen for the 1-Calc (I liked it too). let me know if you need it and I'll see what I can do to hook it up. If the cab will work, Taurus has posted it just a little above this post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Unfortunately - I can't say I'm taking a break. If anything, I'm doubling the work.

Here's a peek at the GUI for the kitchen utility. More to come, but for now I'm just popping in occasionally. Most of my time is in VS2k5 :cool:

Also - reports are that 8.0 Beta 2 is pretty good. You'll have to review back a few posts, but I don't remember any huge issues (or I'd have pulled it).

Edit: pulled the picture - sneek peek is over :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I've been doing some poking around attempting to hexedit the big storage patch in, to no avail. The references in flashdrv.dll are there, but the OS.NB doesn't seems to be different. I think we need Bepe's help - once we get 8.0b2 in a big storage version, I'm going to start cooking my ROMs off that, but the storage advantage is just too big to ignore.

Has anyone else had any luck with it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Diggitydru:
8.0 b2 - You talked me into it!

Well, I went ahead and cooked it on up last night and I must say that it seems faster and doesn't seem to have the bugs that other previous beta releases had (boot speed, etc). You're doing a great job, Matt.

A couple of items to note for the final release:

1. The softkey shortcuts actually gives me double of several items such as the calendar, contacts, etc, when I am trying to set things up. They work well though once they're setup.

2. The latest build of the X-button did give me issues with getting the menu to appear in the Today screen, so I went ahead and re-cooked with the previous build (thanks for keeping that in, less hunting for me).

3. The shortcuts folders in the Programs menu are a bit confusing, but I can clean most of that up myself with a little File Explorer'ing.

All in all it seems pretty quick and clean and spiffy. Thanks for your hard work, Matt. I hope your dad's doing better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
glad it's working for you :)

My dad's condition stablized, though much damage had been done. He requires full-time nursing care and monitoring, but they let him go back home - not much more they can do.

Thanks again for everyone's concern - it's been greatly appreciated.

It's nice to be able to focus on fun things again ;)

Testing continues ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jdel:
Matt,

This latest v8.0 Beta 2 is great. It works much better for me that the other 7.x versions. Installed it today and no additional issues except what's mentioned above with the vibrate toggle and also no beam in the comm manager.

Everything else seems to be running sweetly. Thanks a lot!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
check that OEMDrivers or OEMApps has two files named something like trayIcon or similar. If they're not there, any of the 7.xx run should have them. I'll fix the next build. Just put them in your Windows folder on the phone and it should work if you don't want to flash again.

dont know if this is the right place to ask, but i'm just starting out on cooking my own rom. think i'm getting my head around it. but a couple of questions

1) is it possible to have a certificate (for exchange sync) installed automatically?

2) how can you change the theme/background/ringtone and things like that?

thats all for now :)

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
the easiest way is to look through the preconfig option. With it, you can select all that you're refering to.

If I removed the theme installer from that package, it's attached.

Otherwise, you'll need to define specific colors - which you can get ideas from in the black dialpad option .rgu file.

As for just the background, look for the file Welcomhead.96.png That's your wallpaper. Edit - sorry, brainfart. It's Default_stwater_240_320.gif

For the ringtone, look through the provxml files in the preconfig option. One of them sets the initial ringtone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ares.yu:

Thanks for your updated.

I have a question:

Any idea what the number with this ROM(eg, 1620...)?

Thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thefunkygibbon:
ok, i understand now how to do the theme and will look at the ringtone thing at some point. seems easy enough .

cant figure out the cert one though. can i just put something in the preconfig.txt file like

cert: \Windows\cert.cer

?

i'm presuming not.

Windows Update

Or whatever it's called.... I just noticed that it wasn't included in 8.0 beta 2.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Windows update is really not worth having in your ROM.

There's nothing at the 'other end' of it and last I heard there were still no plans to provide any functionality via it. Seems like it was an idea they thought they might want to take up the option of later but haven't.

does anyone know of any links to any info on the syntax to be used in the xml preconfig files? as i cannot get the ring tone setting to work properly

sorry for all the questions, i have another.

is the htc network wizard a different version than the one i've seen/used on other roms? in that the version i've used automatically determines the service provider when it runs.. the one on this package asks you for the country etc when you run it.
