Radio 1.54.07

So what are the pros and cons of going to RADIO 1.54.07 with this ROM.

Excellent work by the way VP, really appreciate it!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AllTheWay:
I actually found the 1.54.07 ROM better than the 1.48 ROM.

What you really have to do it just try out both of these ROM's and see what works best for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RojasTKD:
Is there a way to disable the "message sent" notification built into this ROM.

That thing is driving me nuts!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bmwquickspeed:
Yes just goto System Tools Folder and run HTCustom

under the Comms tab check the Disable SMS Sent Notifier save and exit and your done. I think you may also need to soft reset but I can't remember
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Blindimage:
Great ROM VP3G! I got my Wifi Issues worked out. I dont believe it was with the ROM thanks to everyones help.

I am wondering if there is any way to have the 8525 Power up when you slide open the keyboard. I have been searching for days, and can't find anything about this. I wonder why HTC wouldnt make this an option as I don't understand why I would open the Keyboard and NOT want to do something that requires power on :)

Thanks for all the help everyone!!!

Been running vp3G for about a week. Everything looks OK. Good battery life. 60% after 36 hours on the battery (lots of email, little phone time). Good communications (high-speed download (H) from the internet).

Starting to install add-ons. Looking at HTC Bluetooth Quicklink and FTP Explorer. Did an extensive search to find out more about these plugins. Does anyone have a quick overview of their functions or can provide a link to a description?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dlweston:
vp3G, Thanks for your great work on these ROMs. I tried a few of the other WM6 ROMs out there, but yours are the cream that rises to the top. I notice you switched to the 1.54.07.00 radio. I guess that radio works well? I have noticed in the thread on the 1.54.07.00 radio that there are issues with it that go away when you load this ROM. Does it matter if I do this upgrade or the radio first? Thanks in advance for any info you provide. Your ROMs are so great, I also sent a donation your way. It won't buy that Tilt, but it will help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RojasTKD:
Thanks! No more annoying "massage sent" notification for me. :)

HI. The internet sharing is not working in my 3.62 version. Bluetooth

can connect via voice gateway, but internet sharing won't work.

It was working with the vp3G's 3.60 version.

Does anyone has the same problem?

Nevermind. Got it working now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
Quicklink is a today plugin for searching for bluetooth devices. I dunno what the other is for tho.

Im assuming you mean the delayed finding of the signal? I noticed it doesnt do that on this ROM, but does on the new TNT, but doesnt on Austinsnyc's, which are all the 3.62 build. Sooooo....i dunno what fixes it :p

Pacific timezone is actually -8 ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] QB8Young:
This does not cause my 8525 to hang. However I did notice that the battery icon in the title bar does not update. It shows full battery even though my battery has 20% life left. Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
Didnt in mine either. Then all of a sudden it started. And the battery thing has been mentioned many times in the thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GameDoctor:
Great so far.

Just to report I have been using this ROM for about a week now full version with no extra apps installed, and it has been very stable. Better than the A12 ROM for sure.

Thank You very much vp3G and the rest of the scene for their work on these projects. :)

Dialer

I just upgraded from 2.0 hybrid to 3.62. I very much prefer the dial from 2.0 with the call history availble right from the dialpad and being able to minimize the phone pad to view most of my recnet calls. Is there anyway to restore that dialer skin in the 3.62 ROM?

This is the dialer I want to use :

With this version I notcied I have a quick launch bar across the bottom...does anyone know how to add applications to it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] singhnx:
Very nice ROM vp3G. :) I just picked up a 8525 again and installing your ROM was a must. Thanks for the great work. I'm going to have to change my sig again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bcbarnes:
If you are seeing what I'm seeing, that isn't a "quick launch" bar. It is more like the system notification tray you have on the desktop. Programs that are currently running can put icons down there to notify you of various events.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattw951:
I thought the same think but when I click on the icon that is in the tray it brings up my comm manager :confused:

Midtown Sacramento performance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was in middtown Sacramento last night (Starbucks on Alhambra). Using 1.54.07.00 radio, vp3G 3.62.0 ROM, about 8PM PST.

Connection showed 3G initially in Starbucks, and would switch to H as I browsed Ebay mobile. The connection was very fast - before I started browsing I ran a D/L test on DSL reports and chalked 760kbps on a 1MB file. I browsed with no problems for about 20-30 mins, but then lost the 3G/H signal. The phone searched for about five seconds, then connected as Edge. I'd use Edge data connection for a few minutes, then phone cycled to 3G/H for a few seconds, then lost 3G/H signal all over again. This happened about 7-10 times in a row. Overall I didn't experience a great deal of downtime - the phone found the Edge signal quite fast after losing 3G/H, but it was annoying.

Eventually I went outside and tried again from my car, parked across the street from Starbucks. Same pattern.

Because I was using 3G/H with no issues for about half an hour I'm inclined to chalk this up as a problem with the local tower, but am curious to hear if anyone else has encountered 3G/H connectivity issues in the Sacramento area with these versions of ROM and Radio.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mutantblack:
coz that's the shortcut for the comm manager. There are some programs that let you put shortcuts in task bar.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mayavi:
I am also seeing the same thing. It says connecting to 3G first then switch to H. I am in Atlanta, GA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] billcoff:
I am in Folsom using 1.54.07.00 radio, vp3G 3.62.0 ROM with no problem. I think 1.54 works a little better than 1.48. When I streamed VTap using 1.48, it would buffer every few seconds. Hardly ever buffers with 1.54. I will show 3G when it is standing by and H when threre is activity.

Travel from NV to UK

I brought my 8525 over to the UK a couple of days ago and 3G is working great here. I am using the 1.47 radio and v3.62 vp3G. When I first got off the plane and fired up the phone I immediately able to send and receive email with no changes needed to me made on my part (other then adding UK/FR service to the phone plan before I left the US). Now, if I could just figure a way to add 001 as a prefix to calls that I make to the US out of my address book I will be a very happy camper.

Great job vp3G!

I've run across somethings and just wanted some input on ...

1. When I compose a txt message, I have to tap the screen to select outside of the To: field. Using the down arrow or any button press does not move the focus to the txt message body.

2. When I receive a txt message, the screen shows up blank and I have to scroll up to see the body of the txt message.

Try disabling the "scroll with D-pad" option in Schaps Adv Config. HTCustom has it too i believe. Should fix #2, maybe #1 too.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] whozethere:
ok

No, but I shall.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
There's a Soft Key app cooked into the ROM. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
Yes, but the one included you have to find the .exe file yourself. The ones i mentioned have a drop down menu. In case you dont know how/dont wanna find the files yourself.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Yeah there's a bunch of them out there, although some will screw up the Calendar shortcut. I opted for the only one I'm aware of that doesn't.

i've been running v3.62 for a week now, and once again vp3g, the ROM is brilliant. i came from running v3.0 previously. excellent work!

quick question - how do you change the HTC Home clock, so that it displays in 24hrs time as opposed to 12hrs?

thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RojasTKD:
Try:

Start

programs

System tools

HTC custom

UI

Time format (set it to 24 hours)

I saw this when I was in there. I have not used it and not sure if this applies to the HTC home plugin clock or not.

Good luck....

Yup, did the trick. thanks.

man I can never get that comm manager to install right or something. Every time I install it the fonts on it's buttons are HUGE. I don't get it because I'm on a clean install of 3.62, but that comm manager looks like it's missing a font.

I tried that but no go.

It's a file videosites.htm. If won't open in PIE but opens fine in Opera and Netbrowser.

If I try to open in PIE I get error "The file 'videosites' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

Just makes no sense cause file opens fine in other browsers. I need it to work in IE.

Nope, it's a clean install on vp3G 3.62.

I have several apps installed, but no idea what could be causing it because there isn't any special app or anything, just a bunch of generic stuff :(

I've tried reinstalling it 3 times now with the same result each time.

I'm pretty sure the "final" release has already been leaked and that is what vp3G used to build his rom...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
ok, I have an answer as to why this is happening but no solution as to a fix yet.

It is being caused by the Weather Panel today screen plugin.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=333844&page=2&highlight=comm+manager+font

I verified this. I turned off the Weather Panel plugin and killed comm manager then restarted it and it restarted with the correct fonts.

There are no font-related options in WP besides Clear Type, but that has no effect on the comm manager's fonts.

I'm at a loss with out Schap to provide any inside to this since he wrote that comm manager. :(

WiFi Issues

I'm having strange WiFi issues (I had the same problem with the Custel ROM also). I don't seem to be able to pass data through Linksys WAP11 access points (yeah I know they are really old). I have a WAP11 at home, and there is also one at work.

I can associate with the WAP11's, and I can get an IP address through the WAP11. Task manager/IPConfig shows all the correct settings for gateway, DNS, WINS, etc. as sent from the DHCP server. So, I know the WEP key I have is set correctly, or I wouldn't be getting an IP address. BUT, none of the other apps on my 8525 will pass any data through the WAP11. I also can't ping from task manager.

I tried to connecting to a Netgear me102 at work and that worked fine. I could then use IM+, ActiveSync (exchange email), etc.

Anybody have any ideas? The WAP11's do not have a hidden SSID. One of them has a 64 bit WEP key and the other has a 128 WEP bit key.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:

wait, never mind, I found the problem.

Hint: Proxy. It's in every rom thread on this board at least 10 times, including this thread. Do some reading.

This was my first winmo6 upgrade and it worked great. Been running since yesterday. It started to get sluggish when I got home yesterday. The reception at my house is subpar (in Orange County, CA where we're having all the fires). I had previously upgraded the radio to 1.51, so this morning, I upgraded to the latest 1.54 and the connection does seem to be faster. We'll see how it works when I get home tonight.

One thing that I'm trying to figure out is why there are two data connection icons on the top bar, one is the original square box with E/G/U/H/3G and the other immediately to the right where the phone connection used to be shows a smaller square box with the same E/G/U/H/3G except this also shows the number of reception bars. Seems kind of redundant, is there any way to get rid of the first box, since it's showing the same info?

Here is to hoping I see one soon I already have had enough of the shipped ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KB9KHM:
I've read about the proxy. I was under the impression that the proxy only affected IE, not other applications (maybe I'm wrong).

Also, I have a hard time believing that this is a proxy issue, as WiFi seems to work with some access points, but definitely not the Linksys WAP11's.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] singhnx:
The second indicator comes online / shows up when you have a data connection through GSM/UTMS. You'll see that E/U/H as a superscript to your antenna indicator letting you know that you are currently in a live data session. You can click on the icon and it will tell you how long the session has been active and give you the option to disconnect it. Once you click on disconnect, the 2nd indicator will disappear.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emmfan:
Here's a screen capture showing the dual connection icon in the top bar. Anyone else have this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emmfan:
Thanks singhnx. That's what I figured. But when I pressed disconnect, the first large icon still showed up, and the second one just switched back to the phone connection indicator. I guess it's not that big a deal, just seemed kind of redundant.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] singhnx:
The only other thing that I can think of for that other icon is to notify you of what kind of reception you're getting ... either GSM or UTMS. It might make a difference to me if I choose to initiate a data connection. Since Edge does tend to interfere with your ability to receive a phone call.

This question isn't specific to this ROM, but since I use this ROM I thought I'd ask here first.

I move my SIM back and forth between my 8525 and my i-mate SP5. On the non-touch screen smartphones, there is always a dedicated BACK key, which would be nice to have on the touch screen smartphone.

Is there any way to set one of the buttons (e.g. PTT button) so that it performs the BACK function?

Blue Keyboard

I customized this rom to be all black. How do i remove your skin and change back to the default keyboard. I currently use pcm keyboard but when i reboot it always defaults back to your blue keyboard. So i'm asking how to remove the blue keyboard and how to make pcm keyboard my default input.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
The behavior you're experiencing is a variance from the AT&T default and one of my "tweaks". To me it doesn't make sense for the large icon to indicate both GSM (voice) and GPRS (data) activity (the AT&T default) when there are two icons to work with. Set "my" way one can tell at a glance if the data is connected. All in how you look at it, I suppose. :)

Just curious, but where did you get the IE scroll fix? The only fix I could find was in the Pandora thread, and it sounded like it had to be cooked into the rom...

Go into HTCustom (programs --> system tools). On the UI page it defaults to "Hide Comm Manager and Battery" (or something like that). Uncheck, save, reset.
