Updated the 4th post with instructions to fix the power drain and RAM issues...

Even if I say it myself, this ROM is bloody good once you edit those 3 reg entries... Give it a chance and it will shine :D

Phil
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
I haven't tried the other rom but after the regedits this rom works pretty well. Thank you for your work! I hope that the beta 2 will be even better.
[HTC Tornado] mikeeey:
your right! it worked. what was that registry key? why was it draining the power?

i personally still like the early beta version you released, the 304byte zip file with the readme in it lol.
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
lol, no bugs in that beta eh mikeeey? ;) :D

The reg keys were the cache's and the A2DP fix that was running up the CPU cycles...

Phil
[HTC Tornado] Graviticvortex:
Phil, can you tell how will editing these reg keys affect quality of A2DP?

Originally, although draining power, beta had good A2DP sound quality.

Andot´s V4 however, where power drain issue is fixed has now far worse sound quality than previous version with power drain problem...
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
Well its up to you... before we graft some a2dp drivers from the Vox you can choose between battery life or A2DP sound quality :)

AFAIK the A2DP will skip more often after deleting the key...

[HTC Tornado] DSF:
Have you changed the HKLM\System\Startup\Duration="600000" value? Is that safe? I mean, files must be loaded.. they need some time for this.

if you decrease this time, all the files are loading OK? or the rest are loading after booting?

How much time takes so the phone can be used?
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
To update from WM5 I had to:

1. SuperCID

2. TeraTermPro (format BINFS, ResetDevice)

3. Install WM6GSMUPGRADE

4. Close TeraTermPro, shut down phone and then re-enter the bootloader through the usual camera+USB combo

5. TeraTermPro (format BINFS, ResetDevice)

6. Install WM6Beta

Without step 4, the WM6Beta insisted on being unable to find my phone, even though TTP had no problems accessing it.

WM6 is running, reg tweaks applied. Looking good ... for not to say sexy. :D

Thanks a lot jm012a9749!

I've already spotted an issue (of which I aint sure if it's been reported yet).

There's some wrong text input method indicators:

abcA what should be abcd (all lowercase)

bcAB what should be Abcd (first upper- then lowercase)

Ct9 what should be ABCD (all uppercase)

T9T what should be t9t (? all lowercase T9)

9123 what should be T9t (? first upper- then lowercase T9)

[some chinese letters] what should be T9T (? all uppercase T9)

[some different chinese letters] what should be 9123 (numbers)
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
Don't know about the loading part but I've checked the time and it's indeed tween 35 and 40 seconds from pushing the button till being able to make a phone call (that's with good reception and not counting the seconds it takes to enter the pin).
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
t9 buggy system :D

try to install a t9 langpack from http://melgurth.ovh.org/ and tell me the result.

i've tried t9 english on "perfect english wm.." (which has no input), and the symbols are OK
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
Indeed, that did the trick! Had the german one running before and now installed the german one from that site and all's back to normal.

Thanks man! :cool:

Now everything seems good except that I can't get the HTC Audio Manager to work. I've tried it by installing it on the phone and on the card, yet everytime I try to launch it (from link or directly by using the exe) it says "Audiomanager or components not found". Any clue?

And finally, I forgot to upload the AAC plugin for TCPMP. Not sure but as far as I remember, it aint included in the 0.81 release (was only in till 0.66). So here it is, in case someone want's it. It's no cab but an actual installer (cos that's how I have it ;)).
[HTC Tornado] andot:
I used TCPMP 0.72RC1 beta, It has all plugin, included the last flvplugin, and better than 0.81. If someone need it, you can download it from here: http://download.coolcode.cn/dopod577w/software/TCPMP.zip

format ALL in TereTerm

A dumb question..

What happens if I were to format ALL in TeraTerm?

Just wondering. Would it brick my phone?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] mikeeey:

[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Yes, IPL and SPL gone, and your change to recover it is almost zero
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Almost zero?? So there's still a possibility. HOW??
[HTC Tornado] grandmaster_b:
Hi Phil just wondering if in your next release you will include the 100% working Windows Media Player ?

I don't think there are much bugs left to fix other than that :)
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I think you need to use SD-card image
[HTC Tornado] illi:
hmm... interesting.. or sent to Service Center:)

thanks dude
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Any way to remove T9 input all together?

I really dislike the T9 input method. Is there any way to remove it? delete the file? Change a registry setting?
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Inbox extender

Phil, I hope you will attach this cab in your coming build. It adds two more options to the SMS software which is Mark ALL as read/Delete ALL

http://blogs.msdn.com/dennisq/archive/2006/08/29/730874.aspx

Besides that, can you do this?

1)Add 2 more options to the Sounds settings so that startup and shutdown sound can be tweaked from there via a GUI

2)Add 2 more options to Home Screen where startup and shutdown sound can be tweaked

3)Under settings, add an option to configure VOIP XML using GUI

This will extend the user friendliness, isn't it?
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
@DSF - No, all the files are loaded in 35 seconds :)

@ Karhoe - SD image wouldnt do it, you need a bootloader for that ;) Only way to recover it after formating the bootloader is to use JTAG

@ kkrull - You can either switch to ABC or install the xT9 option (this also removes the standard t9), other than that, there arent any other input methods available...

Phil

[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Removing Input Methods, Not Adding

Phil - Thanks for looking at my note. Actually I don't want to add any input methods. I want to remove xT9 and T9 and just leave abc, Abc, ABC and 123. Is this doable? There are situations where WM6 will get into T9 by mistake and it takes a while to figure out what happened, backspace and switch input methods.
[HTC Tornado] drischnie:
I have installed the BETA ROM and Arcsoft MMS, but i dont have the point "MMS" in Messaging. Theres only "SMS" and "E-Mail". Anybody an Idea??
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
@kkrull - Ahhh gotcha, TBH I don't know where to start really, you could try removing the T9 regentries and the databases in /windows/, I'll look into it in more detail for you tho..

@drischnie - It's in start>messaging>SMS>menu>new>mms

input the settings in: start>messaging>SMS>menu>new>mms>menu>options>message options>menu>MMSC settings

Phil
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
There seems to be another issue with the sms composing / reading:

The font size while composing a sms is rather small with phone number and text being the same size. The text and date font size when reading a sms is bigger which is good imo. The font size when reading seems to be the same as of the "characters left counter" you see when writing.

Also, sometimes when I start a new sms there is what looks like 3 empty lines tween the line one's writing on and the blue end indicator line. These empty lines keep going down till I hit the 3rd or 4th text line, then the empty lines go away as the blue end line snaps up to the position it belongs to. Only happens at (what seems random) times though.

Minor stuff though, merely cosmetics.

Thanks again for your work, love my enhanced C600. :D

[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
I've just tried this and andot is right. This 0.72RC1 can do all the 0.81 can, in fact it can do even more, e.g. there's equalizer presets. Additionally, his zip comes bundled with a whole lot of additional plugins for playback.

So I'd definitelly recommend this version to be included in the WM6 build.
[HTC Tornado] illi:

[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Wow, that is ancient man, must be one of those early WM adopters
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
It seems this only happens when I use the answer function. If I start a fresh, new sms, it's normal.

Yet something else:

In WM5, when typing an sms, one could hold the * pressed to get directly to the Symbols page. This doesn't work with this rom (or did that get removed in WM6 generally?).

Finally, below is a cab which creates 2 shortcuts with which new Word and Excel files can be created straight on the phone. Surely a useful addition to the Extras. Small issue though, the links get created in a folder called "Office Mobile" and thus need to get moved around to be in the same folder as the actual office shortcuts.
[HTC Tornado] Gomer Pyle:
you can get to the symbols page using long # as I know ;)

andot version supports it, I think I was able to use ii in this release too (but it is not in my device at this time...)
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
Ah, great! Works perfectly. Guess it's a WM6 thing then.

Thanks Gomer! :)
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
So phil, in your coming version, do we get to go into Silent/Vibrate mode by pressing star button ?
[HTC Tornado] pyrorob:

Perhaps star button at home screen, I thought one of the previous AKU2 from one of the manufacturers had this option ?
[HTC Tornado] Gomer Pyle:
only noticed that long # on HS switch between phone lines
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
I'd like to see the flight mode back in there. I'm using that nightly since my C600 is also my alarm clock and having to go to the comm manager is kinda silly, seeing that WM5 had that option in the profiles list.
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
which one? give me the link with the ROM to take a look.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:

Sync with Outlook

In previous posts in this thread a couple people mentioned that they were unable to sync with Outlook. Is this an issue with this beta release or did the users "maybe" forget to re-enable USB in WMDC after they updated their ROM? I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2 in my laptop and I depend on my contacts list in my phone and laptop to make a living. Are there any known issues with contacts list with this specific version of Outlook and this ROM beta release?

Thanks...

[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I had it before, and I think the problem was caused in WM5 itself, while running WM5, I used Sprite Backup and restored the phone, while restoring WM5, the thing got screwed up, and AS thought both side is synced, so it did not perform any sync. Reinstalled AS, and everything worked perfectly

So phil, what is the progress now? Any idea of BETA 2 anytime soon ?

Slow Phone

Hey All,

I think my phone is a lot slower when I use the BETA WM6 than the ALPHA WM6. Especially Windows Media Player is really taking a lot of time before playing music (couples of seconds, before the music started directly). Does anyone have this either? I've done the register tweaks as in post 4.
[HTC Tornado] anandoc:
After performing the registry edits as mentioned in Post#4, did you soft reboot your phone ? Thats a neccessary step.
[HTC Tornado] dedam:
Yes, I'm having this OS for a couple of days now and soft resetted my phone some times yet. With the Alpha all the programs ran faster. I didnt do anything strange as far as I know.

I also have had another issue: When installing a lot of cabs, I soft reset my phone and then, when it's ready booting/loading, my storage is cleaned (without my order)... When i install a few cabs and then reset, it works as it supposed to be. Very strange!
[HTC Tornado] Squuiid:
Petty I know, but on the SPLASH, should be Windows Mobile 6 not 06.

[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Have you installed the CAB for your service provider? What phone do you use? There is a specific T-Mobile CAB for the iMate SP5.

Check your usage. Bummer if you are getting billed for roaming because you have the wrong CAB installed and the phone is passing up T-Mobile to get to the Cingular towers.

Incidently these CABs haven't been updated since the latest Cingular/AT&T renaming as there are separate Cingular and AT&T versions. I have had some trouble with roaming being displayed incorrectly in actual Cingular/AT&T areas.

Now, I already had this happen before for other programs so I went in and changed the registry so that I was able to do installs, but the Arcsoft MMS 4.0.40.1 is the only program that gives me that error. Any suggestions?

[HTC Tornado] ericjm:
sorry for my question,

@andot regarding ROM editing, after converting and editing hv to rgu files, what tool did you use to bring it back to hv? i can only convert back user.rgu to user.hv but not default.rgu to default.hv to its original approx size. everything went fine except for that. ive tried your romtools and duke_stix procedures but no success. :( thanks! :)
[HTC Tornado] andot:
My tools is here: http://download.coolcode.cn/dopod577w/software/Romtools.zip
[HTC Tornado] bond1977:
Sir eric, maybe there is an error on your edited RGU file.

Below is an example of an error in editing RGU files:

Creating default.hv file....

Press any key to continue . . .

You have to correct those errors first and make sure that that your default.hv or user.hv files are error free.

In Duke_stix tools, just click the shortcuts CREATE_RGU_FILES (if you want to create RGU files) and CREATE_HV_FILES (if you want to convert the RGU back to HV files). your RGU and HV files can be found inside the HV Files folder of ROMDUMP.
[HTC Tornado] ericjm:
thanks for the guide bond. but how will i know what errors are those and where in the registry are they? ? i just don't get it why there are errors. i haven't edited that much. only specific registry entries like startup and shutdown image. well i think i just have to do the process again and watch out for errors. :)
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
@ericjm - did you add REGEDIT4 in the top line of the RGU file?

@ everybody else - will try to get a ROM to you before I go away for 10 days but can't make any promises, unfortunately my college managed to screw over transferring the grades from my previous school, so obviously, I must deal with that first.

Phil
[HTC Tornado] bond1977:
@Sir ERIC

Use "Notepad2" in editing you RGU files. here's the download link:

http://www.flos-freeware.ch/zip/notepad2.zip

And when error appears while converting your RGU back to HV file take note of the line number mentioned on the error statement and look for the corresponding line number in Notepad2.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Creating default.hv file....

Microsoft (R) RGUComp Version 1.0.000

Registry file processor and hive builder.

Copyright (C) 2004 Microsoft Corporation All Rights Reserved.

built: Nov 19 2004 15:17:13

InitRegistry FAILED in file ".\boot.rgu" within a few lines of line 595.

BuildBootHive: (RGUComp) !ERROR failed importing ".\boot.rgu"

wmain: (RGUComp) !ERROR failed building BOOT hive

Creating default.hv, done!

Creating user.hv file....

Microsoft (R) RGUComp Version 1.0.000

Registry file processor and hive builder.

Copyright (C) 2004 Microsoft Corporation All Rights Reserved.

built: Nov 19 2004 15:17:13

importing registry file ".\boot.rgu"...

(RGUComp) done!

Creating user.hv, done!

Press any key to continue . . .

On the example above, I got an error in creating my "default.hv" file while I'm successful on creating my "user.hv" file. Looking closely at the process in creating my "default.hv" file you will notice this statement:

InitRegistry FAILED in file ".\boot.rgu" within a few lines of line 595.

meaning you have an error in editing your RGU file in "line 595" or one or two lines before or after "line 595". So what you have to do is close the command prompt and open the "default.rgu" file (since the error was in creating "default.hv") with "Notepad2" and look for "line 595". look for the error and correct it. if its not in "line 595" look one or two lines before and after the said line 595. Then save the file as UNICODE and convert again your RGU file to HV file... Just repeat the process until all errors are corrected...

I think RGUComp is still buggy, thats why errors are found in your RGU file even if you did not edit said file.

Hope this helps you...
[HTC Tornado] ericjm:
@Phil: yes, i'm very sure i've added REGEDIT4 on the first line and made sure the last line is blank. thanks.

i did a test, in which i converted back the unedited .rgu files into .hv files but still there were errors! :eek: impossible!

@bond: thanks again for your help. i've done the process so many times and still getting errors. i think you're right, rgucomp is still buggy and needs some revisions. but i'm really curious to know how the cookers dealt with it! :eek:
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
Never really had a problem personally, if something goes wrong i search for the reg key thats giving the me the problem and fix it, its normally a missing quotation mark....

Phil
[HTC Tornado] bond1977:
If you did not edit any registry keys, usually errors are lacking quatations ( " ) so just supply it or instead of one line containing only one registry key, but in your RGU it contains two registry keys so just transfer the other registry key to the next line by pressing enter key. thats the usual error i found in converting RGU to HV files. RGUComp erronously edit some registry keys during the conversion of HV to RGU files. Thats what I experienced...
[HTC Tornado] ericjm:
okay many thanks for your guide and help phil and bond. appreciate it. maybe i'll deal with it once more after exams. :D

Before this WM6 beta I had some Orange WM5 roms on my Tornado. With those, I had a big watch on the "Press * to unlock." screen. That was a very handy feature since my phone's also my watch.
