It takes a driver change to get the specialized PTT button events completely out of the AT&T base ROM.

Additional info can be found here, but it's not something for the amateur cook. ;)

If it could have been part of PTT_Reassign.cab, I'd have done it. I actually delayed the release a bit to look into the edhaas' fix. Since my objective was to make it so people could choose between PTT and "90%" Button 5 reassignment I left things as is. End result is that PTT-reassignment works as well as it does with a PTTFix-patched Cingy WM5 ROM. :)

Memory Critical Errors

When running Audio Manager, I am getting Memory Critical Errors and a list pops up asking me to close one of them. Not seen this before. I can think of 2 reasons: 1) I have Audio Manager installed to the storage card; and/or 2) there are 2 instances of Voice Command showing in my Remove Programs (I installed 1.5 and then installed the 1.6 update so I am not sure if there should be 2 listings for VC).

I have 36 MB of storage memory free (21 MB in use)and 20 MB of Program memory free (30 MB in use).

Anyway, thanks for any ideas/thoughts.

This ROM sucks. :-P .. If being really fast and stable SUCKS then this rom, defiately SUCKS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Being a cooked WM6 ROM, this one isn't quite a "point-and-click" proposition like the original.

Personally, I wouldn't flash anything ("official" or otherwise) without "wrapping 'er up" with HardSPL first. Flashing your device without it is the Hermes equivalent of having unprotected sex. ;)

My advice would be to read the MrVanx Guides before proceeding. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Hahaha... F.O. :p

As someone quickly realizing how little I know, I thought I'd throw this in for those of us reliant on Blackberry Connect but wanted to jump into this ROM. :)

I saw this thread a few days ago, but don't even know where I would begin, let alone if it is helpful here.

Just a thought.

Thanks for all of your work, and I hope this contributes to a Crackberry edition!:D

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LittleTinyMonkey:
Faria's latest was doing this for me as well. I'm really hoping not to see a repeat in vp3G 3.0. For a while I thought it was related to me trying to navigate to links on a page that was still loaded, but recent tests have forced me to conclude that I have no idea what the cause is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DeniaL:
This rom is great, but i'm having one problem...I can't installed any of my themes...the .tsk files. I used to just click them, then they load into the today screen thingy, i choose it and it changes. Now, I click it, it loads the today screen thingy but doesn't show up in the list. Any ideas?

Hey everyone....real quick show of hands. Anyone else notice their battery life was GREATLY extended after flashing this ROM? I've had her off the charger / sync for about 6 hours now and haven't even hit 90% and I've been abusing her...bad. Full bright, heavy 3G use, a handful of 10-15 min calls....very little sleep. I even feel a little bad for her...

Anyone? Bueller?

you need to use total commander or pop the sd card in your pc and view hidden folders and delete the folder MSMETADATA, then go back into wmp and update your library
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
throw your themes into the windows directory.. then go into settings and change it, you might want to also pull your sd card out before setting the theme just to make sure its not pulling the theme from there..

Is Wi-Fi working?

I couldn't wait to see this ROM and went home to load it. It seems to be great. Thanks vp3G. You are the most well organised person I have seen among the chefs here.

I couldn't connect to internet through Wi-Fi. I observed this even with official ROM. Anyone has this problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Are you using the cab from my Add-Ons? Worked when I tested it, but something could have happened. Other third-party apps interferring, perhaps?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
File Explorer will also do the job, provided you right tap and 'Show All Files' first.

Thanks verymuch vp3G for the quick reply.

I appreciate ur hard work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rgreenpc:
Same issue here as well... but its not a vp3G issue per say.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I have it set to screw up if you go to HOFO. :p

Seriously tho, I wasn't aware of PIE issues with the original ROM and hadn't seen any myself. If anyone has a clue where to look on the cookies thing, let me know. The customizations are still a bit of a mess, so god knows what they may have done... when I have more time I plan to reconcile their latest vs. my "tried and true" settings.

Would be interesting for someone to try bypassing the customizations and see if these issues persist....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Gator5000e:
vp3G, thanks for the response. Yes, I was using the cab from the add-on. As I posted I had about 23MB of program memory free. I had a number of things loaded/installed, but most of them were to the storage card. I can list what I installed if you want me to, but the last time it did it, the only 2 choices I got to close were AS and AM. I uninstalled it for now and it's not a make or break program for me. Only other thing I could think of is X-Button is not really closing programs completely.

Anyway, thanks again. Great ROM otherwise.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chp:
Long time lurker, but not a newbie by any means. I've been a fan of the vp3G releases because they are very close to how I would cook myself.

With that said, I must be one of the few who DOESN'T like the Start Menu sounds. There are CABs floating around to enable, but I haven't found a CAB or registry entry to disable them once again. Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SlyDogJeff77:
VP3G!!!

ok well.. honestly.. if the modirators kick me off for this then i'm going to need YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS!!!

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i262/SlyDogJeff77/personal/92506058.jpg

*edit* by the way.. that was taken with the 2mp camera on my phone a few days ago. *end edit*

*edit 2* yea.. now that i think about this.. i'm not going to leave this up for long.. you guys have until tomorrow to drool.. god forbid my wife ever finds out i'm a dead man.. i'd have to go out and buy her a 8525 too!!! *end edit2*

Now that I have your attention. a few questions. I have no proxy turned on for ANY of the connections but i'm confirming (like someone just before me) that i cannot get PIE to connect to the internet when it is connected via USB to my pc through my PC'S internet connection. Also, with v2 i wasn't able to get pie to connect from my home wifi connection. I think i need someone to explain the media net and isp and work connections again. i thought i knew what i was doing but APPARENTLY NOT!

Could you please give me a brief explination of the network icons. E, U, H, G, 3G? When i'm at idle with internet explorer open (at my office in mid town manhattan) it says 3g. as soon as i click on a link and it start DOWNLOADING, for the duration of the download only, it says H?

is that the hsdpa? by the way.. dslreports states i'm getting about 800kbps transfer rates.. which if i may say so is AWESOME..

Is there any way to make it so the Messages button and the internet explorer buttons can be assigned to a CLICK AND HOLD feature? i saw that there is a free program called PQzII but i never got it to work correctly. it boasts how you can assigned anything to ANY button.. except for the htc hermies.. sigh..

Is there any concern about voice and data at the same time? a previous user was saying he used to TEXT WHILE ON A VOICE CALL? how about INTERNET while on a voice call?

and can anyone figure out how to make toast? like with the bread in the oven thingy? i just cant seem to figure it out with my phone?! ;P

maybe i'm too distracted?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
I'm curious about the dialer. Is it possible to make the dialer from the "official" ATT ROM work in the VP3G ROM? I attached screen shots from the leaked "official" one and yours for comparison. I really prefer the "stock" one that was part of the leaked rom.

everything else looks GREAT! Fantastic work...

First Flash

This is my first flash and everything worked flawlessly. Ive been considering doing this for a long time and I chose to do it now because 1. its based off the unofficial official att rom, and 2. VP3G seems like the coolest and most humble cook on this forum. Ive been researching for months and learning all the terms and lingo without posting stupid questions like a lot of people and everything works great! Thanks VP3G and everyone else on XDA forums!

Does anyone know of a reg hack to show the handsfree/headset icon in the systray of the today screen? That would really come in hand to know if my headset is still connected. Done a search and didn't see anything. Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
the screen listed at ATT is straight from my device (8525) right after installing the leaked ROM. The other is straight from your ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Huh.. weird. I never flashed the original before going to work on it, so I didn't pick up on it. Looks like I'll have to flash it and see where it went.... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
man, if you got that working... I wouldn't be able to show give you a picture of my wife's boobies, but, man, I'd *almost* be wiling to show you my hairy nipples... (joke).

Anyway, dont know if you ever used the stock wm5 dialer that came on your phone. The one that was in the leaked official one is pretty much the same as the one that was in the wm5 dialer. It's just more pleasant on the eyes than that white bar.. and, no, I dont particularly have interest in the kaiser one floating around. I enjoy changing the backgrounds on my dialers.. i like it best when the today screen, the contacts (by user: tene) and the dialer app all have the same background. makes the phone feel more "connected" to itself.

Thanks for any effort you put into this.

I want to say that the ROM is perfect, fast and with lot of storage.

I don't know if this is gonna help anybody, but i'm using the kaiser-like dialpad and the vibra-solution and the assignment to the 5th button is still working ok.

And to finish, a question, how can I remove the vibra icon from the bottom of the today screen?

HTC Audio Manager Today Plugin

1. i wonder why you posted the htc audio manager today plug-in v 1.0

here is a newer one that works both with audio manager and wmp

2. is anyone having trouble with VC 1.6, i have the four files to fix it, can i post them for those who bought the porduct like i did.

If they are illegal files I am not the one to blame, I got them from this site and no one told me they were/are not legal. I am posting these files for people who bought the Voice Command product legally from Microsoft or a third party retailer.

Another question

Ok, I know there're like 3000000000 million post about using live services with wifi avoiding the use of the 3g data connection, but, i used to just cancel the attempt of the live service to connect to the 3g and it would use the wifi without a problem, now i don't see how to do the "cancel" step, because when it starts doing the 3g connection it doesn't give me the pop message with the option to cancel.

Ideas?? solutions?? :confused:

Thanks.

first and most important that aint a boobs. take the sweater off and they are great.

ok the pie thing I too had on the last vp3g but it was magnified on ver 3 either due the ****ty att network in LA Cali or the rom. I am back in dc so ill let you know if it is back to just a little bothering instead of ****ING annoying to restart pie all the time.

and as soon as I get off the plane the xda cookie was still there so maybe since in LA it said roaming and doesn't save cookies when roaming. since in dc I am not roaming my cookies are still here....I know there is no connection but....I am cranky since vp kept me up all night ;)

VC 1.6 fix

They will fix the incomming call problem.

What you need to do is replace the three files in the Windows directory and the one remaining file in your Voice command directory. This is easiest done in windows when you show all files and just drag and drop like any file. Please remember to disable voice command before doing this. then soft reset. last re-enable Voice Command. Test with live local free call or another phone.

Instaled a few hours and until now no problems...

Besides some add-ons from vp3G's i've also installed the touch htc home plugin, voice command 2.x and the video dialer from black majik, all working prety good.

The HK WWE had video dialer so why this one has not?

I would suspect that since AT&T 8525 doesn't have the front camera and doesn't support video dialing, that is probably why the video dialer isn't included.. There are cabs floating around that have Video Dialers....
