Just tested out 7.0 and had some problems. The first big problem was that using start-v1.3 the progress indicator on my computer would get somewhere between 88 and 90% and then just dissappear not giving me any error and flashing would stop. I tried that 3 times before I grabbed the buildOS and createROM out of 5.25 and finally got a ROM flashed. I also get a database error when the connection setup wizard runs. That's all the farther I've gotten at the moment though since I've spent the last 3 hrs trying to get a ROM flashed. Any idea what would cause it to do that? I know it wasn't the size because I always chose the same options in each build of the ROM including the final one that actually flashed.

UPDATE: I have way more problems than that. I can't transfer any files over to the ROM at all, I get an error that says that it can't find the specified folder. I guess it's time to reflash again. By th way, I am flashing back to the t-mobile rom each time in between flashings.

UPDATE 2: I must have screwed up something. While ActiveSync allows me to explore the phone with no problem, WST and the ROM update tool to flash back to the t-mobile rom both say the the phone isn't responding.

UPDATE 3: Flashed back to t-mobile rom and flashed yet another build and on the 3rd splashscreen the screen turned white and stayed that way. Decided to use start-v1.2 (twice) and both times the progress indicator on my computer disappeared yet again around the 90% mark. I'm about to give up on this kitchen and just flash back to the 5.25 version again.

the .ink files in the office (OEM) folder are OneNoteMobile.ink, ppt.ink, pword.ink and pxl.ink and thats exactly how they appear in the office folder (on the device after flashing).

One question in general, has anybody noticed an instability since 5.2.1 (or so) i have to make a hard reset after 2 days at the latest. Well, once i read that it might be caused by TouchFlo, any ideas?

p.s. I have an German (QUERTZ) G4 and always flash back to an orginal T-Mobile ROM.

cheers

Start with the basics first, flash to stock rom, build OS rom ONLY with no compression make sure final .nbf is No More than 58,368 kb. you should be able to flash with the RUU update tools I included.

I finally got a ROM to flash. I guess it did end up being the size. The thing is that I didn't use any touchflo stuff, none of the players except for WMP, and nothing else that I knew to be a large file except for google maps. Once I got rid of that I finally got a ROM that would flash without a problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] calouro:
Ive been building a lot of ROMs with this over the last few days (wife is not happy with theloon).

First I compressed the base ROM, then added stuff. It is very stable and fast. I also installed Advance Config and SKTools to optimize. I set the Glyph Cache to 131072, file system and file filter cache both to 8192 plus some tweaks that SKTools allows! I set the BS overclock to scale from 195-260 with burst set to 273 (I've seen no benefit setting it lower then 195, I've seen no batt life increase). I have 27.6M free mem after Oxiox Hibernate frees the RAM. I know having the Glyph, file and file filter set like that seems high, but it sure does speed things up and as I said 27.6M is very nice. Wifi, BT, BT sync and GPRS all work great. I have weather panel, SPB phone, BS, and SPB Diary on the today screen!

Thanks theloon for a great ROM and kitchen!

ActiveSync - Connecting to?

If I connect my Wizard to my PC and let ActiveSync kick in I get the old 'Connecting to' dialogue box on the Wizard. This then minimises and appears as an icon in the Tray at the bottom right of the screen. I seem to remember this from WM5 but not in any WM6 ROMs :confused:

Is this something left over from integrating WM5 drivers/components into this ROM or have I missed something?

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
No dialog

I haven't noticed this happening to me so I tried connecting up and nothing popped up. Did You integrate any new drivers or reg settings? There shouldn't be any WM5 stuff here at all, as I stated on the first page this kitchen was made using Original WM6 318.

THANK YOU THANK YOU LOON!!!!!! You have done a fantastic service.

The newer builds have NOTHING, I mean NOTHING on you. <---PERIOD

I can finally use and depend on my phone again, and its WM6, the way it was meant to be.

Now if I can just get rid of the dang battery on the today screen, Yes its checked in the last page of the clock control pannel but still shows on the today screen as that ugly white battery.

Once again, Thank you!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] calouro:
Thanks!!!

So, for instance I would write this tweak like this:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]

"limit"=hex:20000

Which is the same at decimal:131072

The reason I ask is I wrote the above file with "dword:131072", but after I built the ROM and loaded it, it had entered 131072 as a hex not decimal, needless to say, this messed things up.

Why would it build it as a hex when I wrote "dword:131072"?

Here is a question for everyone. I have a feeling this is just a problem that I am having for some odd reason, but I figured i might just ask anyway.

Here is what I have done;

Added a few things to the OEMOPERATORS dir in the OEM folder(and edited config.txt accordingly)

Added a few OEM packages to the OEM folder to build along with the rom... Mainly the new version of the HTC Home Plugin. And just a few other small programs.

Here is my problem.

After going the the build process, everything is fine. Buildos gives no errors. Nothing gives any errors. But once i Flash my CID and SIM Unlocked Wizard(g3) and boot it up for the first time, the config.txt files starts installing all of my cab files, and reg changes(which i created a cab out of). Well none of the files get installed for some reason.

After this happens, I restart my wizard and try to install them manually, which doesnt work. I keep getting told that the cab hasnt been digitally signed and all this bs.

Pretty much it appears that the security hasnt been turned off during the build process(or flashing) from what I can tell. Anyone else have this problem?

Also, if i do not add any new OEM packs, everything works fine, even leaving my OEMOPERATORS dir customized to my likings.

Suggestions?

btw, are the links for 7.1.0 being uploaded? can't download them yet. 7.0.0 was working well. didn't have any problems with it...even though i did make it a bit of a three-legged horse, only because i deleted all the oem and sys related files that i didn't need (bluetooth-related stuff) but did keep the dll files...

somehow it must be connected with the network wizard because in former versions i did have that issue, btw. over wifi both work correctly.

If you don't want the cingular medianet cab to install look in sys/oemoperators and edit the config.txt and delete the medianet cab the same goes if you want to add something to Your ROM, Make it personally yours!

@irm

Well, the thing is the problem is in how WinCE(the underlying structure of WM) handles the SD card (yeah, miniSD is still an SD for all read/write purposes). There is a limitation on the number of files in the root of the storage card ,i.e: /Storage Card/, if I remember from MSDN. So moving files to a subfolder in the card should help in theory.

I don't think your prob has to do with the Storage card. Try playing the files in Windows Media Player Mobile (both AM and WMP use the same functions to play music). If not,resample them to a proper mp3 format (on the desktop PC)

@theloon
