Hi...

I've made my rom with 5 version, and still Advanced Configuration tools is not working.. It's closing with error.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zomig:
Storage Card Issue

I have a slight problem with v5, in the sense that on the options menu of messaging, i used to be able to select the storage tab and then put a tick in the box that says "When Available, use this storage card to store attachments", unfortunately just above this is says there is no storage card installed even though my 2gig on is there and i can see it through File Explorer. ALso there appears to be another storage card within the explorer called "FILTERFS". can this be removed as it looks as though it is a shortcut to the proper storage card, but might be causing the issue mentioned above.

Great tool though, makes things so much easier.

UPDATE

I have removed the reference in the registry for the FILTERFS and rebooted and now it seems to of resolved the issue. Weird, but worth noting for future reference.

Just need to install the keyboard fix now as my keys seem to be mixed up, i see there is a fix for this (i think) i will give this a go and see if it does.

Using HTCustom and changing the keyboard setting from cingular to English has now also resolved my character mapping issues on my varioII. Just for anyone else that may be experiencing the same problem.

Thanks for the great work on this, it truly is a fantastic tool.

Anyone tried to configure the Today Agenda? I can get in the options sections and adjust what I need, but the task bar and X button don't seem to be working.

And yes, Advanced config closes with error upon its start.

Internet Sharing is acting funky and not working.

I would love to give my usual rundown on this release but I just dont have time at the moment I needed this internet to work today and so I must work on this souly
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Is it closing when it tries to load up the comm manager settings? (Keep a sharp eye on that loading bar when you launch it).

I had the same but when I stopped using 12-button black CM it worked a treat. Seems to be some problem with the combo of Adv Config and 12-butt black CM. Only other 1 I tried was 8-button touch, which worked fine so I've stuck with it.

(Problem came up last night but was too late to log back on and tell anyone).

Hope it helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
Noticed something I cant get the internet sharing to work with Satin Either, but I did notice something else intesting I just recently got 3G in my area but when im using Satin, it has the 3G and the H icon, and I never saw the H before, so what does it mean ? the HSDPA ? and if so why dosent that ever show up on the Pandora ? Man this Internet sharing issue is driving me nuts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Can i just ask how many times a day do you flash your phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lawhead:
H means HSDPA :) Mine will sit on 3g unless it's sending/receiving data, at which point it'll switch to HSDPA and then drop back to 3g when it's idle.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Inline.....

I'd like to hope it's getting better :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I just tested mine and it seems to work on par with how it always has.

I start Internet Sharing, connect via MediaNet, wait until it says Check USB Cable Connection, and then plug in the USB cable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I haven't ever really gotten feedback on this program. I believe this is a newer version than I had a couple months ago that someone contributed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
well, i cooked up a new rom using this kitchen and it seems to work well. I hex edited it for a 16MB page pool just to see how i liked that. It's quite fast for me. May try a 12MB. Trying to find a happy medium. the 8 was pretty good but there were still times where it would hang for a second before opening my requested app.

haven't ran across anything "broken" yet. I'm on ATT but I chose to install wpbear's proxy folders cab in lieu of checking the att pre-run box. Figured that pre run stuff was just more stuff taking up space. Will comment more later if I run across any issues.

thanks again for a great release.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] klabton:
Thanks. will try later _)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
One thing I found if you use the AT&T option - In fixing the PreConfig.txt error from prior builds, you no longer need the file labeled Cingluar_WAP_Settings.xml and the associated entry in the PreConfig.txt file.

I noticed this because there were three entries under the Advanced options under Connection Settings. MediaNet, My ISP GPRS, and CingularGPRS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Hey People,

I was just wondering if it was me, or was there problems with the Advanced Config Package posted earlier in the thread?

If there were any errors did anyone get this one:

i rearranged the comm manager buttons, restarted the device as required, but when i restarted and checked my comm manager, the layout was there (grey boxes) but only 1 icon in the top left box!!

I changed the arrangement back to the way it was originally and my comm manager was fixed.

So i changed a different button, and the same thing happened!!

Anyone got any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
First time using the program, what a blessing it is! Fantastic work.

One issue I found is that I there is that in the screen to set what the hardware buttons do, there is no 'speech bubble' button. So it cannot be set. That's all I've found so far, thanks for your efforts!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] klabton:
I've got still no luck with advanced config tool... :( every thing works fine on Schaps 3.54b. Here is even newer Adv Conf including HTC Home configuration. Maybe this couse this problem. Maybe this base rom should be equipped with 1.0 version... not 0.9.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you are able to make it work, can you post the working package? I don't use it and can't flash/test again for quite a while (my phone is my GPS when I go hunting :)).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
if you're adding a package (speech bubble), if you haven't flashed yet add an initflashfiles.txt to it and copy a link to /Windows/AppButtons. If you've already flashed, just copy the link into that folder and it'll show up in button choices.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fiendz:
Still having the problem that i had on the previous version with the ATT ROM of not being able to turn off the beam from options or comm manager. This was also reported on schaps previous rom and he was able to fix it so he may be able to give some insight into how to correct the problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
No, when I said speech bubble, I mean the button on the left side of the Hermes that has a speech bubble on it, the button below the 'ok' button. This button isn't in the 'Select a button' screen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
what's your build recipie? I had this happen once with the 10 button, but after reflashing to a different config, it worked fine and ever since.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Would that be Button 5? (mine is marked PTT)

It should be there, even if Voice Speed Dial or Voice Command are not installed. I'll check on my laptop tomorrow and ensure that the button is still being created, even if these are not installed. At a minimum, Notes should be getting mapped to "Hold" for that hardware location.

It happened with the 10 and 9 button, I can try using the 8 or 10 button black, although it looks like 10 button black doesn't work either. Either way I want to replace it with schaps 10 button kaiser comm manager I guess I should stop being lazy and just make the package if thats the issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Phantisy:
mattk_r - This is just an idea. I would think using radio buttons instead of check boxes in the sections requiring you only select one option would be a better choice. Just an idea.

I know that someone changing the options.xml to move an option to another section wouldn't stop someone from checking 2 options but it will help just in case someone clicks 2 options in the "select one" sections.

I found the fix (which doesn't really help me seeing as I needed this function to get the PTT button to work)... I disabled PTT function and now it creates the ROM...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] v3patel:
Comm button Vibrate does not work

Thank you for such a nice rom. and kitchen

In my old rom I used to disable phone ringing but hold comm manger button for few seconds. I cooked new rom using but Now I can not put phone on vibrate. I have installed default 10 button comm Manger. Can some one help?

:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fiendz:
Checkin back even with a barebone setup to avoid conflict and each different comm manager I cannot disable the beam.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Did you select Comm Manager Vibrate Option?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Sorry, but just to summarize, if you select PTT Enable, you're getting a duplicate file error?

Basically function should be:

With PTT Enabled, if you hold it in it should ask you if you want to register it.

With it Disabled, you should be able to hold it in an Notes will start recording after a few seconds.

I'll check that duplicate file error. I thought I had tested both PTT enabled and disabled to prevent that from happening.

Edit: For now, delect the duplicates from the /OEMApps folder. I'm putting together the next build with this fix...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just to clarify, the button won't show that it is turned off?

Did you do a hard-reset after flashing?

Sometimes that can help.

Edit: has anyone else seen / still seeing this issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I just posted 5.1. It has the PTT Enabled duplicate files removed, and added the Batter Icon Utility (phcanoverbmp.dll) options as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gerald_s:
The filename is PKHv5 Beta2.

So its 5.2 or 5.1?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
sorry bout that. Yes, it is 5.1. I'll have to remember to keep my folder naming in check :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Matt,

I am still seeing the beam shut off issue as well. I am VERY barebones in my setup, and no matter which com mgr I have selected it won't shut off the beam. I have NOT hard reset after flashing, but will try this as you suggest to see if it resolves the beam issue.

As a sidenote, I tried receiving a beam file transfer from my 8125 to see if the beam was working on the 8525...no go. I tried Total Commander and file explorer to send from the 8125 as well as receive from the 8525. TC locked up on the receive screen on the 8525, requiring a soft reset.

In addition, I noticed that the button 5 "touch" option has been removed somewhere between V3 Beta 3 and V5 Beta 1. I use the "hold" option for notes and the "touch" function for initiating voice command. I have PTT disabled, of course, but the button settings don't provide an option for a button 5 "touch" assignment anymore (like in V3B3).

BTW, I also noted the time sync tab not showing up in the phone settings even though the correct registry setting is made by the kitchen. I have found the solution....

-In addition to the reg edit included in the kitchen, you also must set the following:

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\NITZEnable= 1

-and-

HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowNITZPage=1

This enables the timezone/time sync tab in phone settings. You may want to add these two reg settings in your kitchen.

See...I didn't just come here with problems, I also brought ONE MEASLEY solution to an older problem, lol.

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

Super kitchen!

I have a few suggestions:

1. In some cases you get an error when starting Schap's Advanced Config tool. Especially when you don't install the HTC Home plugin. The solution is adding a registry key:

HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCHome with value "Tabsetting" = dword:1 (or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6).

2. When you enable the filecache you set the cachevalue to 8176 hexadecimal (= 33142 decimal). Most other cooks advise a value of 2000 hexidecimal (= 8176 decimal).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
Don't know if you answered this already but everytime I try to add Packages to the OEM folder BuildOS stops working. Any reason for this? I'm running Vista HP
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zomig:
I have the beam issue as well, i am running the 10button comm manager. It shows as being ON in the comm manager as well as in the connections page when you select "beam". you can untick the option and ok it but then when you go back in it is ticked again.

I tried hard reset but still the same....

can this be disabled via the reg ?

thanks

Update

Just reflashed the rom using just the 8 button comm manager and also the 10 button default comm manager and unfortunately the beam is still staying on....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zomig:
Is there anyway that I can add 3 certificates into this rom so that I dont have to install them manually once installed, they currenlty have the extension .CER

This is for my exchange cert at home, just a thought really.

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
matt,

the OS is fast, thanks.

A few things I have noticed that need to be solved:

-today agenda refuses to be customized, the OK button cannot be pressed and all hardware buttons seem to not respond. I've tried both version 0.9 and 1, same story;

-how can I remove the FILTERFS storage before cooking the OS;

-the beam function in 10 button commman doesn't work; it also doesn't work if you access it through setting/connections/beam - stays always on;

-AdvancedConfig fails to start, but the 0.9 beta seems to do fine.

Also, could you please tell how to:

-add personal info in Owner fields;

-personalize the Windows Default theme;

-change the name of the ROM displayed in Device Info;

-remove unwanted files such as pictures, ringtones;

Thanks in advance for help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
See my post #840 for a solution for version 1.0.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If BuildOS won't open, it is because the option.xml file isn't correct. Typically if the file isn't in unicode, a duplicate GUID, or syntax error, and it'll behave this way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Inline....

Every fix makes it that much better, thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
best I could suggest is look for any certs already in the kitchen, and mimic how they get installed :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Here is an older version of Today Agenda that I had. I don't know if it will work, but I suppose it's worth a try.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
FILTERFS is getting set when Remote Desktop is installed. I had to go back to an original official OS dump to find the original package, and the setting to create it is there.

So with that newfound knowledge, is it still an issue? Apparently M$ included it for some reason with Remote Desktop (just not sure why ;) )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
Matt,

As you investigate the Beam issue, can I suggest you look in the Schaps 3.57b thread. I remember us experiencing it with one of the earlier versions of 3.57b (pre 28/7).

I will also look and post here if I find it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I just had a thought...

If someone is available to try flashing this, please remove the option.xml from the /SYS folder and see if it fixes the beam issue.

I'm wondering if components that are needed for Beam to work are in other packages that are being "ignored" because of the option.xml file...

Worth a try anyway :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
except for this beam thing, I think I have everyone's fixes included in the build. I'm still futzing around trying to figure it out, but I started a new thread on the issue and PM'd Schaps hoping to get a bit more attention to the issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Matt:

Sorry for the late response, but the below is EXACTLY correct to initialize the Time Tab on the Phone settings menu. The first key is already in the kitchen, the last two are currently NOT included but are needed.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting]

"ShowTimeZonesPage"=dword:1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]

I just built a ROM with 5.2 with PTT disabled. Why do I not have a choice to map something to the PTT button press? I only have the HOLD option. I tried installing PPTFix, and while it does add the option to map something to the PTT Press, it also gives errors. Is there any fix for this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
rfila:

I noted this as well to matt. He has a fix in the works. It appears he only mapped the hold function in lieu of both hold and quick.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yep, this one will be fixed in the next release.

Still trying to isolate the Beam issue though. Can't let it go till that's taken care of.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
very cool, thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
Matt, have you considered making MS Reader as an optional package so that we can read e-books? Or does one of the current reader options allow this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rfila:
Sorry about that. I thought I'd read that it was fixed in THIS release (5.2) so that's why I was questioning it. I must say - this is really an awesome setup. I've been skipping along with other people's ROM builds, but to be able to put my own options together without feeling like I'm compromising is too cool!

One other questions. I loaded Kitchen 4, beta 1, and built a ROM, but didn't flash it before I upgraded to Kitchen 5. I'm not sure if I'm remembering it correctly, but did Kitchen 4 have the Palm Threaded app as an option to cook in? If so, can it be put back in to Kitchen 5 or were there problems with it?

Thanks again for all the effort you've put into this!

bennec83:

You can add the last two reg edits to the .rgu located in \OEM\Add time sync Tab to Phone Settings folder, or, you can regedit the settings on an existing flash (you only need the last two if you built the ROM with matt's kitchen and selected the time sync option).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Matt, hello!

All of your advices worked just nice, except for the Schaps program, which isn't critical - so don't worry.

I have well managed to insert my owner details into the ROM, which is great. And now everytime I do HR, there is no need to re-enter them. :)

Anyone tried to flash the 5.1 version??? Well I did, and I have two things: one is that none of the hardware buttons work and the start menu shows the "&" sign before each item, like: &Today, &Messaging, &Calendar, &Settings. As for the hardware buttons, I don't know if it was due to a bad flash (but OS seems to be fast and stable) or there is a glitch with the OS itself or it was me who did something to the system files in the kitchen, which I am sure I did not.

Any help or comments, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Can you share exactly how you do this? I would like to do the same!! Thanks.
