Thanks, Matt...

One last thing during my testing....

I always manually configure my data connection settings (no pre-config), using Cingular GPRS. I notice that although this rom will attempt to establish a data connection upon invoking pocket ie, I can't seem to lock on. In addition, I cannot invoke data connection through comm manager, either.

However, I CAN establish a connection by going to settings/connections/manage existing connections and selecting and holding Cingular GPRS (an option to connect pops up in the menu). I then can browse as normal....hmmmm.

Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I tested mine, and it does it as well. If I use another app (like the weather display in the Home plugin) and it's already connected, IE works fine.

Is this a new trait? I'm not sure if it was that way in 7.1 or not. I used the browser files from 7.1 for the scrolling fix, but didn't change the actual IE executables.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] flarestarwingz:
Another quick thing- the links in /Windows/Start Menu are missing for MobiTV or XMRadio, and there's another folder in /Program Files/ for XMRadio that contains xmradioreset.exe on its own.... but maybe thats intentional :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
other than IE not initiating a connection on it's own (and the newest WL not working), so far the new build looks pretty good.

I'm uploading my own build in a few, with WL 2600, no PTT - my typical build. Good stuff - now back to my OTHER fun little project...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
considering I didn't intend on uploading it, I'd have to plead intentional :)

Links are easy enough to add though ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
Where you able to correct the "keypadd mapping while in call" without PTT?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If I'm in-call, the number keys are "locked" on. The other keys not on the number pad are usable in SMS, but the numberd keys only display numbers. Is this the characteristic you're referring to?

That dll you posted, is it supposed to allow full text when not in the dialpad during a call?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
Yup, this is it. But as you said this also disable the button5 (thanks to PTT). I had all this mess fixed by leaving PTT in (at least the service) and having pttfix.cab installed via preconfig. This way ppl wanting PTT can still enjoy it by uninstalling pttfix and the rest enjoy the fix.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] flarestarwingz:
Hmm i cant seem to get the internet to work for me at all via GPRS/HSDPA etc; it connects and shows it is connected, but fails to load any web based application, so i cant get my Email or find out the weather and so forth.

If i try to disconnect (either by the disconnect addon button, or holding hang-up in) it shows the 3G symbol as if it is connected, but says it is connected to no network connection, and then whole phone line goes dead if i try to call out. I receive a message saying it could not complete the call, and i have to restart the phone.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thefunkygibbon:
just to clarify, with v9 beta 2. it doesnt work with live messenger? is this the case with all versions of live messenger or just the specific one mentioned? why would it be a big issue? since i've never noticed any differences between the msn builds anyway
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] flarestarwingz:
It only fails to work with the latest Live build, .2600 (and prior i guess) work fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thefunkygibbon:
ah ok , i'll survive with 2600 for now then. not sure what the differences are.

i've asked this before but i hope someone can help

can someone point me in the right direction of any documentation on the syntax for preconfig xml files?

I want to get it to make the time zone the uk and the region settings the uk amongst other things but cannot find any reference to how to do that. i'm presuming it can be and should be done in the xml preconfig.

also to delete files.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'm off to a big meeting, but wanted to post some comments real quick.

Live build 2600 and before works fine. 33.0600 doesn't.

With 9.0 Beta 2 I'm successfully on the internet with my carrier settings, however I need to establish a connection if I'm not already on G/H/E/3G.

Check the other xml files in the Preconfig files for examples. It should give you just about every scenario that you should be able to duplicate.

does anyone notice a difference in the menu for MMS 4.2? It looks a lot like 3.5 now, but I thought it might be my mind going bad.

Hope this helps... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thefunkygibbon:
thanks but i'm for some reason still getting issues.. all i want to do is to install a ringtone, change the regional settings to UK English, and remove the files which i'm having to install as cabs instead of OEM's ( for some reason the OEM doesnt work properly)

hi matt, haven't been able to get the video dialer to work in v9.0 beta2

also, startup anime works fine w/o the patch
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
yeah, video dialer is a bit of an issue because the base AT&T OEMAPPS/OEMDRIVERS were not designed to support it. That's where the T-Mo build is an "easier" base. 7.1 has this ability. Hopefully I'll get this integrated in soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] doowop:
hope i wasn't being a pain in the proverbial a$$...but thanx so much for your efforts matt!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rgelfand:
Actually, I changed the registry to always stay connected and you don't have to worry about establishing connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rgelfand:
After flashing the rom, is it possible to modify, delete, rename read only files which are part of the rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
no worries. I count on you guys to pipe back info so we can get everything dialed in. I'm gasping for air in a different project, but bounce over here to check on things ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
nope. You can't even copy certain file types - at best you can make a link.

better to leave it out of the build and add it later as a cab than over bloat from the beginning.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Any ideas on the data connection bug, Matt? Looking around the other threads where people have built a ROM using a 3.62 base, I am not seeing issues with IE not establishing a data connection.

I really don't want to solve this problem by using a permanent data connection; but, it seems counter-productive to have a newer build require more user interaction to establish a data connection to access the internet.

It's a shame, because other than that little issue, this build really seems to be a winner.

Are others seeing this problem? (I know you confirmed it, Matt, so I am not asking you)

Here is the dilemma...

Without having a data session active, open Internet Explorer and try accessing a webpage...if you see a data connection trying to be established (using your carrier, NOT wifi), but you can't access the webpage (the phone just keeps trying to establish connection), then you have re-created the problem.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
My first suggestion would be to try the browsing files that I removed. Here's the folders, just replace the four folders in the SYS directory with these.

If I get a chance tonight, I'll try flashing with them, but though I'd post in case someone else wanted to beat me to it.

Other than that, here are the other "changes" that I do to a OEM build:

Added keybddr.dll from non-PTT rom (3.61 I believe)

Remove everything that already exists in existing packages.

Remove carrier bloat

Remove OEM/OEMOperators

Remove MMS, PTT, JMM, CVPDF, Realplayer, andSmartdialing from OEMAPPS .rgu

Add button 5 mapping to OEMDRIVERS .rgu

Remove all compiled dll's, exe's, and mui's from decompiled folders

Remove SQM folder from SYS

Remove Catalog from SYS

Add SYS option.xml file

Add Modemlink, and VOIP to SYS

Add officeres.dll and .mui for notes to OEMAPPS

Add TrayIconManager to OEMAPPS

That's about it - off the top of my head anyway.

Damn you're fast! I was just tweaking my BuildOS options for beta 2 and getting ready to build a flash with the replacement browser files when I saw your post!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Oh BTW...from what I read in the original 3.62 thread, the XMRadio and MobiTV apps are new builds...did you rip the versions that reside in the kitchen from the 3.62 ROM or were they from the previous builds of these programs?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
previous build. I haven't gotten packages build for the new ones them yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Thanks..if you have the ripped files from the 3.62 ATT ROM laying around, could you post them? I don't need the package, since I just copy these over to the device after flashing and create my own links. This way if I get tired of it or need room, I can just delete the files (since there are no reg entries created with these apps).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I was mistaken. I don't see them in this build at all. Not sure where the new versions came from. I seached the OEM/SYS and no luck :(

so from a previous post in the last page or so (But directed at someone else), about copying or deleting files from /windows (trying to do so within a preconfig xml file. is it not at all possible to do this to copy/delete from windows?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
once the rom is flashed to the phone - it is not possible as far as I know. BEFORE flashing, you can do whatever you want.

For example, the CreateROM.bat script optionally removes the .rgu files from the dump folder before compilation.

Sorry - I should have pulled 33.0600 from beta 3 - not fixed yet :(

just so it's clear, from your home screen, the bottom left soft key labeled "calendar" does not open your calendar screen - but the associated hard key does?

And for voice recorder - what hard key are you referring to? As I understand, only button 5 (hold) has the function of calling the Notes application, not voice recorder. I'm not aware of any other launching VR.

Active Sync Problem in Beta3

Hi, mattk_r

Active Sync doesn't work in Beta3.

My Windows PC recognize my Device as Guest, and doesn't sync any more.

Selected packages are same as v7.1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
sometimes activesync gets screwed up - I've even had to reinstall it recently.

If you reset your PC and phone, it still acts this way? If so, I'd suggest reinstalling ActiveSync 4.5 and trying again.

I only suggest this because it's working okay here :)

Hey, I had some speed issues and other weird flippings out with 9.0b1 the other day, so I went back to 8.0 b2. I'm just curious about a few things: Which other package should go with the 9.0? the 3.62 or just any of them? The 8.0 is a later build than the 9.0, isn't it? Or is the purpose of the 9.0 because of another leaked rom from AT&T?

I'm gunna give the new 9.0 a try later, but did have a minor issue with the PTT function selection so I just left it out since I don't use it, but it gave me one of those errors that kinda looked like a .DLL was already there, but I didn't investigate too much past that.

Thanks for your hard work, man.

After having tried a couple of roms I've decided to cook my own however I cannot get CreateRom.Bat to run. It keeps asking me what program I would like to use to open the file as it is being recognised as a txt file not an executable? Any way round this?

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

yes, the softkey labelled calandar. (and therefore the hardware button for the soft button) , wasnt aware of a proper hardware key for calandar.

FIXED EDGE ICON ISSUE!!!

If you do not select a battery indicator in BuildOS, phcanOverbmp.dll is not installed to /windows. The base ROM .dll (I think it is netui.dll) does not contain the images for the "E" icon, and you get a "U" instead.

I copied phcanOverbmp.dll from the kitchen to my device, and then pointed HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps\BaseDll = phcanOverbmp.dll

Booted device....now "E" icon is BACK.

I agree with the above, we are all human and we make mistakes time to time. Plus to that, it wasn't that hard to rename the RUUWrapper.exe into RUU.exe :)

Never had an issue with building when x-button is checked - quite strange. The only issue I experience with X-Button is when I check the "close programs by tapping on X" option, instead of accepting OK when I press ok some in a program's option, it actually closes the program. Meantime, the hardware button OK, seems to work fine.

Beam indeed, doesn't turn off.

And yes, leave pacman, that's the only game I would leave in my ROM. :)

So far, so good, 24 hours after flashing my phone with P9.0b3, and I haven't had an issue. :D

By the way, can anyone help me in integrating program certificates into OS, so a program can start right after the first boot?

One more thing, for 8525 users, I would recommend using the 1.54.07.00 radio. At least this one drains my battery less, especiallly while listening to music over bluetooth.
