[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
If you're a ROM flashing addict, nows a good time to own a Hermes! :D

This ROM has been completely re-worked and is now based on the official imgfs. It reports itself as follows:

CE OS 5.2.1437(Build 17944.0.3.1)

ChangeLog

v3.2 (available now!) contains the following fixes:

The v3.1 patch

The Aku portion of the CE build number now displays correctly

All Softkey cpanel applet issues identified in the release notes have been corrected

Audio Manager v1.02 build 614.712 refresh fixes the "only plays one song in standby mode" issue. This is the official build information reported by the so-called Audio Manager 1.2 update btw.

Initflashfiles no longer copies information from \windows to \program files\<app dir> for Sipchange, GSFinder+, Taskmgr and Fieldtest. This increases storage memory by about 1 meg.

Notes:

if you restore from backup after upgrading to this version, the developer utilites will be restored back to \program files and storage memory will be decreased to your original amount. To prevent this, exclude the app directories "green software", "sipchange", "taskmgr" and "fieldtest" as well as the applications' associated shortcuts in \windows\start menu\programs from the restore. Also exclude the sipchange shortcut from \windows\startup.

There will not be a v3.2 Crackberry edition. Sorry.

v3.1 includes target.img.zip which corrects the Intent Java midlet manager issue identified in the release notes

v3.0 of this ROM includes:

As always, the installer will upgrade your splash screens to the Gold HTC Innovation theme. Your Radio, IPL and SPL will remain unchanged. However, for best results I recommend running a radio that's at least 1.40.

I'm using OliPro's latest RUU installer in this version and recommend installing using the SSPL option. Vista users: be sure to check out this guide for how to make SSPL installers work on your version of Windows. Or, jcespi2005 reports that with the latest WMDC (v6.1), you can upgrade through CustomRUU normally like in XP. WMDC 6.1 itself can be found here.

v3.x Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)

The softkey editor settings are initially out of sync with the actual softkeys. Additionally, you must SR after the first time you use it to get your changes to stick. After that, the program works normally. This is a HTC bug unfortunately in softkeyapplet.cpl :(

Because the base imgfs has been changed back to hermes from its previous Universal base, this ROM will also change your device ID if you are upgrading from previous Sleuth ROMs. The device ID will become identical to the official Hermes ROM device ID.

Howto: Speed up CommManager and free up storage memory.

Use PHMRegedit to search for the value "DisableButtonText". Change this value from a 2 to a 0. Reset your Hermes by pressing and holding the power button then answering yes to the dialog that is eventually displayed. The downside is that you disable the "eye candy" block-style interface too.

If Midlet Manager displays the following message: "Cannot run target.img" then copy the attached target.img.zip to /windows on your hermes to resolve. If you need this fix cooked in, then follow these instructions:

deactivate direct push & your data connection if you run Direct Push

Take a full backup with your favorite backup software.

Download v3.2 from the above rapidshare link & install.

Restore from backup.

If pressing the "Calendar", "New SMS" or "New MMS" softkey displays a not found message then download and install the attached calendarfix.cab to correct. Make sure you choose "Install to Device" if asked.

This rom is based on the DoPod release. Because of this, vp3g's ptt cab will not enable PTT on AT&T networks.
