Minor update to 1.1 (added functionnalities, no bugfix)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] surveyganga:
I am running it

I have loaded it and running it for the past 20 hrs and it looks fine for me. You all should excuse me, I am not good writer and am sure wont do justice for this ROM if I try to write a review.

I used to run Schap's 3.54c before loading Fun_Keys rom. I noticed that this Rom gives me more Program memory than 3.54c, I have installed Resco Radio, Pocket Weather, News Break, Total Commander, Avinasoft Calling Card and Microsoft Live Search app. I have TZones $5.99 plan so I cant use the built in HTC Weather and thats the reason for having Pocket Weather. I have setup Push mail on the device and receive mails heavily on a regular basis. I regularly use all the apps mentioned above, as a matter of fact after loading the rom and setting up all my apps I have used all the apps more than once and didn't reset the device in 20 hrs and have 16.79 MB program memory left.

My only gripe would abt the Extended Rom. There is no sign of it in the Rom as mentioned Fun_Keys. I tried to go to \\Extended_Rom from Total Commander and it took me nowhere, it doesn't even show up in the Device Info app.

I haven't update to the 1.1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
You can use advance configuration to unhide&unlock it. The ext rom is still present, as I don't use bepe's trick to merge it with the main ROM

I think this is safer this way; some people reported instability after some days with the merged ext_rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wigmund:
Not bad at all...

I've just tried it out and it seems not too bad at all... pretty damn fast compared to my last Black Magik ROM, although the initial Black Magik boot screen is still there :(

So far - very good, thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
This is an OS only upgrade, splashscreen remain untouched. You *should* be able to build your own splashscreen through this guide.

But I haven't created any splashscreen since the animated one came out; can't say how it really works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wigmund:
Thanks for the tip, I will take look... I don't want to ruin the animated HTC one tho. Do you have a static screen capture of the HTC splash screen so that I can simply make them the same? (sorry, straying off topic...)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
Here is the .gif of the startup animation, I'll maybe manage to do something with it as soon as I have some spare time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] westcoastgeek:
Hey Fun_key thanks for this update.

Its comes the closest to the system I need.

Running for a day now and no lockups or resets needed so far.

Battery CAB

hi,

Can someone share the battery cab (the one with percentage) ?

Thanks

I'm sure this has been asked before, how can you get the ComManager Icon back at the bottom of the screen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
@spock: It is a dll that can affect in many other way your device. I don't have the cab for it thus. But one posted a link to an interesting topic a bit earlier in this topic

@lcohen99: Just use Advanced Configuration (or reg tweak on the wiki)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lcohen999:
Hey fun_key

I have been playing around and I noticed that pbar does not seem to be closing any programs when you click on the X, rather it minimizes them. I check the settings and everything seems proper.

Any thoughts?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
Again, "it's not a bug it's a feature :-)". Tap=close; Tape & Move = Minimize.

Try to be more still with your pencil when you tap.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lcohen999:
I've been using pbar for a while and never noticed it so sensitive before.

Best ROM

Fun_Key,

I just want to say that this is the fastest, most reliable ROM I've used to date. I've downloaded many from XDA and this one is ranked highest in my opinion. It's not too fat, but it still has things most people want. I'm not too fond of pbar, but that was no issue for me. I just removed it from Windows/Startup and installed X-Button 2.0. Keep up the good work!

does the 3g dialer have the call history box visible in the dialer screen? I really like that feature but most of the 3G dialers i've seen took it out and only shows the last call.

Can You Use Backup used from a different ROM

Hi Fun_key's

Excellant work, I have a question can I update my previous setting from a different ROM after flashing your ROM, I have the original copy of sprite backup. Thanks

i install the 3G Touch Dailer but it,s not working googd there is some bug when dial numbers it will apper on back button ??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
I had it removed cause it took ages to the preconfig to get it setuped, and I noticed no real louder sound. Is it working correctly on your device?

@skhorchid: it may work if you restore from 1.5.0. I wouldn't recommand restoring from anything older, has it is a very different build.

3G Kaiser dialer is allready reported not be working on this device. I maybe could have it setuped builtin; but I am pretty sure that it will be a little slower than the actual one.

@cleyman: Thanks once again for the mirror
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Freshster:
It has a noticeable difference in sound on my device, especially when adjusting the call volume to its peak while in a call. I have also noticed different projected acoustics within Media Player, which could be deemed as good or bad by each person individually.

I know it does take forever to run the PreConfig, but that is normal for any rom that contains the SetAcousticParam.

Thanks again FuN_KeY. You are always on top of things!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
wtf? everyone has their own requests, that's all I did. You don't have to act like a child yourself and complain about someone making a request. that pbar SUCKS and so does voice dial, sure I can DISABLE the stupid pbar, but I can't remove it, cuz its cooked in the rom. And I can't help but to feel the lame (you probably love it cuz its just like you) voice speed dial is taking up precious memory.

I've been testing a bunch of different ROMs to try to find one with the right balance of speed and features.

i have install this rom but i have problem with the mail.

if open an email after when i do ok it close all and go to todey screen...

any patch for this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] driz:
I'm having this issue as well. Everything is SUPER fast but sometimes when i click mail, or even other things, it'll just exit to the today screen.

Also, i see you included wmp and htc audio manager, but im not getting the option on HTC home anymore to swap the music player to htc from wmp, any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
I am pretty sure this is caused by pbar. It happens if you move while tapping (it reduce instead of closing). Change pbar setting or hold still while taping.

By the way; I just recieved a PM from Sleuth, and a fix for the Button 5 will soon be available without the need of PTT. For all the space ungry guys here it is a quite good news.

1.5.2 Should be soon on its way.

Unable to edit Regsitry

no problems to edit the registry,

I used the advanced settings tool to enable OBEX under bluetooth. The change did not stick in the registry. I had to use the registry edit program about 3 times before I could get he change to stick after a reset.

Working fine now though.

Flashing 1.5.2 for final testing...

pbar is just a single exe that eat 36kb, if you don't like it; just remove the link and forget about it. It should work a little better in this version (no more minimise which were quite random)

Voice command eat ~800kb, but I am sorry, as I like it you will have to live with it either :-)

But, 1.5.2 will have about 2 mega more storage (dummy PTT removed) and will also have the Button5 bug fixed.

Great thanks to sleuth255, who kindly released a special DLL for me allowing all this mess to work together!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
All those registry issue are not rom specific. You have to:

-Edit your registry

-Power off your phone (don't soft reset)

-Restart your phone

Your settings should be saved.

Else your modification goes to a kind of buffer and there aren't written to the registry

Hey all,

Is anyone having problems installing programs via Activesync 4.5?

Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:

1) On my 8525, install any cab.... for example PiePlus

2) After installation is complete, Activesync to your laptop/desktop (I'm running WinXP Prof).

3) After I'm "Connected" via Activesync, I select "Add/Remove Programs..." from the "Tools" menu in Activesync.

4) I then check any program.... for example Resco File Explorer

5) Once I click the "OK" button in the "Add/Remove Programs..." screen, I get the message on my 8525 that "PiePlus is already installed on this device" or something like that....Resco File Explorer doesn't get installed. Only after if I soft reset is when the program gets installed.

Can anyone please try to verify this?

Want to make sure I'm not crazy :)

Thanx

Thankyou for a great rom. I am very happy with it. Can I make a request? Is it possible for you to make your next version with the HTC Home not installed as we can then install outside the windows directory. I have found this method speeds up the system slightly. I am also a big fan of the startup animation. Can you leave this option enabled so we can install our favourite animation?

I hope you don't get offended by my request. This is a great rom and I love using it.

Cheers

Edit: Sorry, just realised that I can install startup animation - just needed to have sdkCerts. Can't get sound though??

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xdaradar:
Maybe it's possible to cook it in the HTC Home directory instead of the windows directory?

In that way HTC Home Customizer will work and you can change i anyway you like without having a double set of obsolete files in ROM?

i'm not sure if this will work, but leaving out HTC Home at all will make this ROM a bit less plug&play.....

This is the best ROM ever. I've been using it for about 24 hours now, pretty heavily and its super fast. What's the secret?

One thing: Can anyone get Internet sharing over WiFi working? I'd really love to use this hack, but can't seem to get it working. Not sure if it has anything to do with the ROM (Probably not, but I thought I'd ask).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
Because of the Herms ROM structure, every file is stored first in \Windows\ and then copied to the folder it belong to. So, if I wanted to put the files in \HTC\ they will also remain in \windows\.

This is not an issue, just the way it works.

For this reason all the HTC file wil remain in \Windows\. Feel free to duplicate them yourself to \HTCHome\. You can also edit the registry to have the \HTCHome folder used instead of \Windows\

Concerning the startup animation sound, I also faced this issue, and then decided to simply have it removed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] driz:
I for one like the rom, i will deal with whatever you cook in it. It's surprising how many people ***** and complain about features.

NEWSFLASH, he made the rom for himself and is sharing it. He isn't making it for us. Deal with what he likes. If you want something different, he tells you straight up in post 1, he made it with pandora's kitchen. Go download it, and cook your own ****.

If you need specific things, maybe you should offer to pay him to make you a custom rom. You people have no appreciation for time and effort, everything always just has to be, i dont want this, i dont like that.. grow up.

Unless real bug are found, there won't be any newer version based on this build.

Btw, my Hermes is on ebay right now, and if it get sold, there won't be any newer version, even on newer build. Blind cooking is something I don't believe in.

I also noticed the slow scrolling and this also annoy me. I will see if I can do something to have this fixed (I allready have a small idea that might work) and if it can be fixed I will release a final 1.5.3 with this fixed and the brand new touchlike scroll builtin.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xdaradar:
Thanks. That would be great. Since you're thinking of version 1.5.3 i've been puzzling myself on what else could be done. But it's good as it is. All i do is personalizing and adding user applications.

The only real thing for me is a HTC Home functionality issue I guess. I can't configere the profile changer to act only on appointments of type "busy" and "out-of-office". Appointments like holiday should not change the ringtone profile to vibrate.

In the old day's in the memory settings one could choose how much memory was available for programs and for storage. Now we can't do this anymore. Is there a way to change this when cooking a ROM? More memory and less storage would be great, we've got de SD-cards for storage ;-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lcohen999:
I agree, I use maybe 20 megs (BBConnect, VoiceCommand) in my main memory

Everything else goes on the SD Card
