I took one for the team. Had to know whether I was right before I can sleep.

It works. Oh joy! Old-style Smart Dialing and PTT button reassignment both.

Do the following:

1. Remove "Sleuth255 PTTFix". Soft reset.

2. Install vp3G_PTT_Reassign.cab. Soft reset.

3. Enjoy your dialer.

Do folks still have the % increments in their battery meter? Mine seems to have disappeared, I may have screwed something up with my dialer installation .. but before I HR and start over I wanted to confirm that folks still have % increments in their battery meter in this ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Wasn't me who fixed it, unfortunately.

I'm not so sure it's in the XIP as presumably it's the same (by build number, anyway) as I used for 3.60. My money is on something in the IMGFS (dialer, keyboard driver, etc.), possibly something tweaked specifically for the 8525. I'll have to see if shogunmark can confirm whether it works on his TyTN.

Bottom line, if I had a clue what/where it was, I'd gladly share it. I was assuming it still wasn't fixed until gregross convinced me otherwise.

I know that one can enable manual network selection for a limited period of time (that is until the device is turned off) but is there any way to instruct WM6 to ignore the instructions from the sim chip like most Motos can be programmed to do?

I have been reading MSDN and I have been unable till this point to find any mention of registry setting that would instruct the unit to ignore commands from the SIM.

Any idea?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Had it in this release but nixed it because it has some sort of issue when you set it to close upon tapping 'X' (vs. tap and hold). Apparently for apps that present dialogs with 'OK' X-Button 2.0 doesn't distinguish between 'OK' and 'X'. My beta testers hit this issue as well so I backed off to 1.51.

I don't think battery percentage increments was ever a feature in any of vp3g's roms thus far. (at least I havent seen them in my installations) FYI, I have to click the battery meter at the top to have it display the current usage.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
That is correct. The percentage display is something bennec83, et. al. created. Although I use it personally I have never included in my ROMs because a) it has so many flavors that someone is bound to complain about which one I choose, and b) it changes the look of the call history/PIN pad and that deviates from my "keep it OEM" philosophy. We just learned how particular people are about their dialer, after all... :rolleyes:

Incidentally, the Kaiser dialer add-on includes a flavor of the battery meter.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walts:
vp3G, Thanks for another great ROM!

I just upgraded from your 3.00 ROM and 1.40 radio. I did the upgrades seperately, and before doing the radio upgrade, set up the 8525 to sync with my Exchange server. This had been working flawlessly with the 3.00 ROM, but with 3.61, it refuses to sync my Contacts. The error code it gives is 0x86000108 which indicates a certificate error; I was using the same certificate as on the 3.00 ROM (saved on the SD card) but then downloaded a new certificate from the server, which did not change anything. If I un-check the Contacts box, e-mail, calendar and tasks all sync correctly. The new radio does not change anything.

I have a work-around, by syncing the Contacts from the desktop, but I would prefer to sync them directly with the server.

I have cold-booted the 8525, removed all but one contact from the contacts folder on the Exchange server, verified OWA from a PC - all to no avail.

Any help or ideas would be welcome!

Walt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I'm using the ExtROM which heretofore was more or less "unusable" until bepe's recent breakthrough that allows one to reclaim it as additional contiguous storage space.

The nice thing about continuing to use the ExtROM for customizations is that anything installed that you don't care for, you can just remove it and regain the main storage. IOW, there's very little that's actually "cooked" into this ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Probably not, provided it's an SDHC. Until rather recently WM6 didn't support anything larger than 2Gb, but as a "notable feature" it's probably a bit dated at this point.

I see you didn't join until August... a few months earlier things were evolving for this device literally by the hour. ;)

HTC Home plug-in glych

Prior to running this ROM I was using Schaps 3.50c. I would keep the profile tab selected on Automatic. Hence, the phone would automatically change to vibrate mode during an event on my calendar. However, this doesn't happen since flashing vp3G's v3.61.

Anybody else having this problem? anyone with any thoughts? I have tried hardreseting 3 times but no change. Even inspite of this this Rom as well as the rest vp3G's rom Rocks.

Hmmm... that's an odd one, Walt. Using a self-signed cert myself and my contacts are synching fine. Wondering if you have an ActiveSync issue of some sort.

Maybe it doesn't work with v2.0 of the Home plug-in, although I don't see any mention of it in the thread. I believe Schaps was using v1.5 in his 3.5x series ROMs (was there a 3.50c or is that a typo?). You could always downgrade to v1.5...

PTT Button not programable.

Cingular 8525.

I am on a 100% fresh 3.61 install w/ 1.48.0.0 radio.

Pressing PTT does nothing. I go to Settings->buttons and re-assign button 5 (both push, and hold).. Still does nothing.

What am I missing?

Details:

Installed 1.48.0.0 radio then

Installed 3.61 then

On reboot it tells me it's going to update, and it installs a couple of cabs.. I let it.

reboot.

PTT button.. nothing.

Settings->buttons and re-assign button 5.. no change.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Strange. Check to see if you have "Sleuth255 PTTFix" in Remove Programs. It should be provided the default mappings for Button 5 are Voice Recorder and File Explorer (P&H).

If all is good remove PTTFix, then soft reset. You should then have PTT functionality when you hit the button. If so, reinstall PTTFix from the attachment here, then soft reset. If it still doesn't work you may need to hard reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Chainsaw76:
First TY for taking the time to not only reply to my question, but to post a cab. I realize that 1) getting my one phone to work isn't what you signed up for when you release these awesome ROMs and 2) Having read almost every page of the 3.0 and 3.60 releases I know this isn't a chronic issue..

The program was installed.

I removed it.. reset.. PTT button did nothing..

Downloaded and installed cab.. Nothing...

I'm happy just leaving this out there as a data point in case other people have the problem and feel like the only ones. I am also willing to work with you to resolve it if it is important to you (for what ever reason)..

Phone History:

Phone is ~3 months old. When I first got this phone with the default wm5, etc.. I know the button worked, because it drove me MAD every time I hit it accidentally. But I installed 3.0 on it within 24 hours (after making sure the phone worked, and wasn't DOA), and the PTT button never worked after that.. I tried several reinstalls, following the instructions.. But never did get it to work...

The reason I did the 3.00->3.61 upgrade and 1.51->1.48.0.0 downgrade was trying to eliminate a radio issue I was having (calls would hang up 3 seconds into them if I had any data connection going at all.) I don't know if this is fixed or now, and I am assuming this is unrelated.. And Only include it for completeness.

-Jason
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Sounds like a hardware problem then, Chainsaw76. Rather ironic that it quit when you installed WM6, but I'm guessing it was just coincidence. I picked up a mysterious line through my camera around the time I first installed WM6 and I've just lived with it since.

If you want to pursue it, mikechannon is the king of Hermes hardware issues and a super helpful guy, so you may want to see if he can offer any suggestions.

I assume this is a noob question, but....some explanation, first. I have an 8525 running the "Official" AT&T WM6 ROM, which I installed several weeks ago (3.57.502.1). I want to upgrade to vp3G's 3.61. I have a Vista PC with WMDC. I was able install the "Official" ROM upgrade with no issues. I did not need the updated AS drivers referenced in MrVanx's HTC guide. My phone says that I have SPL-2.03. Since I will be installing a cooked ROM, do I need Olipro's HardSPL 2.10 and do I need to update the WMDC drivers?

Before anyone lights me up and tells me to search the forums, I searched and can't tell you how many posts I've read, but I'm still not sure I understand this. I can't find any references to SPL-2.03. I think my phone came with 1.10, so I'm guessing the AT&T upgrade also upgraded SPL.?.?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bcbarnes:
This was confusing for me as well, so I just tried to update on my Vista system, and it wouldn't work. I had to install the AS drivers first, then HardSPL second, and then this update. I did all this on a portable running Vista32, and it went without a problem, and AS can still sync with my other mobile devices even with the different AS drivers.
