:D

I myself have been a big fan of your Rom's since I came over to XDA looking for WM6 several months ago.. I have decided to upgrade to the Tilt for the internal GPS thats available.. I travel a lot for work and was on the verge of buying a BT GPS next week if the Tilt wasn't released...

I too would like to see you dissect the ATT Tilt ROM and make it worthy when you have time, until then I will have to deal with the ATT bloatware and wasted space..

I will be selling my 8525 sometime next week and I would like to put the official ATT ROM on the device for the buyer because they may want all the other stuff on it that I don't require or use, can you point me in the right direction to download the official ROM?? Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Maybe if/when AT&T quits playing around with the Hermes ROM! LOL

I'm quite surprised they're putting so much effort into a phone whose successor is already shipping... :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nstefanelli:
This is the newest ROM available for at&t users. It also has the most recent official radio rom. Good luck.

-Nstefanelli-
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
It's STILL not out yet!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nstefanelli:
you know vp it actually amazes me that they are sellin the kaiser for less than our hermes! i just checked the att site and the kaiser is only 300, and out 8525s are 350. im almost tempted.. nope. love my hermes.

-Nstefanelli-
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AwJm:
is this a RUU install just like the full at&t rom ?? and is the new radio included as well ??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Must be SuperCID or have Hard-SPL to install. Answer to your radio question is in post #1. :)

I'm going to be running mine with the 1.48 radio for a bit before making the switch to 1.54. Curious how battery life will compare to v3.61.

Personal Customization

vp3G,

I am loving that you are constantly enhancing your ROMs and I love the quality. Curious though... I spend an hour or two to get my speed dial, My Text phrase settings (for e-mails and txt), cursor speed, other settings, etc. up and running after each ROM update. Is there any sort of export/import or way to back up these items?

Thanks again for all your great work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] flippy:
Same for me to. And the same for the excellent rom bit :) Thanx VP
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Hmm... try installing the attached SDKCerts and S/R, then the dialer+icons again if still no change. Must still need to install them separately.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] adavis99:

SIP

I just installed Shaun33's SIP Config Tool and configured for my SIP account. I then connected to my WLAN and placed a call. Even though my bt headset beeps like a call is being placed, the sound is coming out my phone and using my phones mic. No matter what I do, I can;t get the SIP calls to route through my BT headset.

Anyone else seen this or have any ideas for me?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Packrat:

how about giving the chinese build a astonishing english remake?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
Installed the SDKCerts and did a S/R. Looked in the add-on package and couldn't find the 3G Dialer and Icons. Is it part of one of the CABs?

BTW, vg3G 3.62.0 and radio 1.54.07.00 are rock solid. No problems with phone (including BT), data or wireless.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dsanai:
Great work!

Only one issue I'm dealing with: Since loading this ROM, my backlight settings always revert to default (2m/5m) after a soft reboot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I'm not able to reproduce it. Only thought is that the change may not be getting committed to the registry if you're resetting immediately. Either wait awhile (> 5 min.) or power down to force the commit.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mr_magoo:
Checked your timezone settings in outlook and your phone. I travel a lot and when I change timezones it messes them up. I wish there was a way to disable it. I can't figure it out though bet 3g can (hint hint) anyway what I do is go to the clock settings and change the local time back or forword then change my visiting time to what ever time zone I'm in. this is really noticabe wi PI, maybe the clock at you cell tower is set for the wrong time zone or something...

Appointments change when changing time zones

Yes, I'm having the same problem - when traveling in different time zones, my appointments in Calendar change times. I'm sorry that others are having this problem. Is there a way to keep the appointments from changing times?

Otherwise, I love the ROM (v3.60)

Thanks,

Have the memory leak issues with the ATT rom been resolved yet?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
I dont know if they can ever be SOLVED, but this ROM does not seem to have much of one in my experiences.

On another topic, im not sure if this is a ROM issue or what, but I can send objects to laptops via bluetooth, but when i try to go the opposite direction the laptop will say "device does not have necessary services" or something to that effect. Mac and PC alike.

Any ideas?

Battery Drain

Very stable release thanks!

One minor thing: using 1.54.07 or 1.54.0, it drains my battery within 12 hours.

I need to switch to another radio rom, any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cirial:
Definitely try 1.48.00 :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mayavi:
Onlay way to make this happen is to not to change the time in your ppc. I know how to do that in Cingular 8525. here is the steps:

Start -> Settings -> Phone

Select [Time Zones] tab

Uncheck [Automatic Change Time Zone and Clock]

This should do it. Just use your watch for time tracking :)

Comm Manager

Hey guys. Nice build. One prob, when i try to install a comm manager, i get an error message that says unsuccessful due to lack of system permissions.

how do i fix it? I have the 3.62 Rom with the HTC Kaiser Dialer with 3G and Batt Icon. should i remove that?

vp - terrific ROM, as always.

Anyone else's time zone change at will? i was looking at a day's worth of appointments all shifted an hour and then checked my time and found myself on mountain time (i'm on the west coast). so i switched it to pacific. then a couple days later the same thing happened.

anyone ever see the phenomenon before? weird, man.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bigbluebeetle:
Great ROM once again Vp3G. Seems faster than 3.61 to me too.

@AximMarkSD - I'm seeing the same problem. Every SR resets my time zone to Central from Mountain for no apparent reason.

Just a quick question.

How did you make VP3g 3.62 have a 12mb pp. I think I remember an application out there that allowed you to change the pp but I am not sure about that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW GO DUCKS!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] botchan:
vp - I just had to say I've been running 3.60.2 for about a month now, and it's just the slickest damn thing I've ever seen. Faster, more stable, more memory, never have to soft reset; I could not be happier.

And for those who aren't using it, PocketCM is the greatest contact program I've seen. so damn easy.

Would it be possible for you to release a version of vp3G 3.62 with the SetAcousticParameters cooked in like you did in 3.61, the sound does have more volume..... something that is highly needed when on the street, in a slight noiser environment that being in a "library".........

Media Player Library Update and HSDPA

vp3G,

I have been using the your ROM since last night. Hoooray! First timer for Flashing non-official ROMS. I like it. My problems are the library for WMP saying that the storage card is protected (which it isnt) and HSDPA being very unpredictable in an area where I know I consistantly get 700-800 (never failing). With HTCustom HSDPA turned on I very rarely get over 300. If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I love the amount of space that is open on this ROM. Great Job.

Thanks in advance,

SkoT

Update... I figured out the WMP problem. I forgot about the show all files and the msmetadata file that has to be deleted. Can someone explain that to me? The HSDPA issue is still there. It is blowing my mind.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] IraSeigel@hotmail.com:
Excellent. That's what I'll do. Thanks very much.

PS I notice you're using radio 1.54. Are you experiencing short battery life, as somone else here reports?

It is a problem if you have the phone automatically change based on time zone. Uncheck this option. Start > Settings> Phone > Time-Zone tab.

This use to happen to me but since I made the above change, the time or time zone doesn't change unless I make it change.

how to install addons

When i transfer the extracted files to a folder on the phone, there is a setup.xml file that opens script up in IE, which sits there forever and hangs while it is loading? the others won't open at all, saying I need to install the program first. What am I doing wrong? am I supposed to be opening the .xml file with another program? All help is appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
I guess its possible, depending on ur location. Works well with mine. You might try 1.48 (AT&T build) or 1.50 if you haven't. Im not sure what your radio history is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I'd say it's pretty unlikely considering the base ROM is the same as the official. Have you tried a hard reset? You mentioned enabling HSDPA via HTCustom, however you don't need to mess with that if you let the customizations run.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Don't extract the individual cab files contained within the RAR. You're making it more difficult than it is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RPGMadman:
I really enjoy this ver, and want to thank you for all the work you have done on this.

I would like to ask if you have been able to address the BT headset issues raised in other postings. I have a Bluetake iPhone-Mini stereo headset, model BT450Rx, that worked very well with WM5, and after upgrading to your WM6 V3.60 it does not connect correctly. If I can get the headset to connect at all, as soon as the session is over, the headset will not connect again unless I delete it, then re-install it in the Bluetooth devices.

The HTC BT quicklink just keeps asking for the passcode, over and over without connecting at all.

I have searched all through the postings for a fix or a cab file for this but it does not seem to be addressed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mthomas:
extracting from rar file

I like pocket rar from rarlabs. It allows me to open and run the individual cab files without extracting the to the device. I download the rar to my handheld, or transfer it to handheld from pc, store on sd card. Then using pocketrar, look at the rar file, select the cab that I want to install, pocketrar extracts , runs cab, then recompresses it. Try it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mthomas:
re: timezones

It sounds like people are describing two different issues.

1. Phone randomly changing time zones at soft reset. I never experienced with any rom.

2 a function of time zone support that is built into wm, and is a normal part of its function. The default behaviour is to change the time of appointments as you move through timezones so that you stay coordinated as you travel.

pocket informant has a feature that allows the calender to be aware of what time zone an appointment was originaly set in. This is good as long as you are aware of it. ie i'm in california, and set up an appointment to call someone at local time 1300. now I fly to nyc. I have to call my associate at 1300, pst, but I am on est, and so my pda tells me to call him at 1600 local time, for me.

PI manages this with a slot to specify time zone for appointment. you just need to be aware of the times you are setting, and what timezone it is set for.

You can create locations in the default calander ap called pst, or est, or whatever the local timezone is called, then the appointment will show you what zone it is supposed to occur in. But you must remember to write the time as well ie "meet fred at 1300 est". if you want the calender to be accurate when you arrive, you must schedule the appointment at the correct local time.

I hope this is clear. It has been a long day.

installing to storage card

Many thanks vp3g for the wonderful ROM, this was my first flash experience but after all the comments on this thread I was assured to give it a try.

One issue I have noticed is that installing CABs no longer ask whether I want to install to storage card or main memory. Is this a known issue w/ WM6? Any way to allow my phone to install on storage cards again?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Depends whether the cab has been coded to allow it. Quite a few of mine don't because they're what I consider "core" apps that should only be run from main memory, or in some cases they simply won't work when installed to the SC.

Misc problems with this build

I really like 3.61 so I gave this one a try and have had few problems here is the skinny:

- Had problems installing some cabs (addons) at first it froze on my soft reset and tried again and it froze. So I powered down and that helped but when it cam up it took forever to load. Installed a few more of the addon's and it did it again. Thought I got corrupted addon file so I re-downlaoded didn't really help

- Can't install call firewall 1.2 says cab unsecsesfull ( really want tis app too)

- Got txt msg read it but the amber light kept blinking. (Had to reset)

- Got a voice mail while the phone was reseting and it never told me

- Seems a little slugish compared to 3.61

- When I get a call it only vibs once

- Inav takes longer to load

- Got a not enough memory error (same apps I had on 3.61 in main mem)

Do you think I need to reflash anyone else have these problems?

That is all I can remeber

I love your builds VP3G, I'm a newb here I have lurked off and on for a while, now that I have an HTC I have been a little more active :)

Think I might have to roll back, Which is a bummer.. I really hate re-installing all my apps..

Appointments change in Calendar as you travel

Yes, the second situation above is what I'm experiencing. But I didn't know this was a "feature" of WM6. Seems kind of silly to me. If I am in California and I set up an appointment for a 7p dinner a week from now in NYC, then I travel to NYC, why would I want the appointment time to change to 10p? I would still want to know that I have a dinner set up at 7p. I can't see very many scenarios where I would need the appointment time to change as I travel.

So if someone can tell me how to defeat this WM6 "feature", I'm listening with big ears!

Thanks,

Direct3D

VP.. I installed Google Navigator however, couldn't start the program. I get an error msg saying the my ROM is outdated and is missing the proper Direct3D.

is there a way to cab the Microsoft direct3d? or, can you cook your ROM with the direct3D in it ?

Thanks for everything.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Well, I don't believe it is a "feature" of WM6.

mthomas already hit on this, but I'll attempt to explain it further. The key to understanding it is knowing how appointments are stored in Outlook, and that is with the time zone information as an offset from GMT. Said "offset" is based on the time zone in which the appt is being created. That way as you cross time zones (and provided you allow the timezone on the device to change) it will always be showing you the appts relative to whatever time zone you're currently in. The problem is most people have trained themselves to mentally shift everything relative to their home timezone and that screws it all up. :)

Now for the example you gave. If you're in CA when you create the dinner appt you would want to set the appointment time for 4:00 pm because that's what time it will be in "this" time zone when you're having dinner at 7:00 pm in NYC, will it not? Beneath the covers the appt will be stored as GMT-7, then later time shifted to GMT-4 when you're in NYC (and similarly GMT-6, GMT-5 as you're making your way across the Mountain and Central time zones -- we'll skip the absentia of AZ -- whilst on your way to NYC). One must be mindful of the shifting that's taking place, of course!

This directly mimics how MS handles appts across time zones with Outlook and Exchange (and no, it wasn't always this way... MS has gotten their act together over time). There are reams of documentation about this in their knowledgebase, incidentally.

Trust me, I had to learn this stuff chapter and verse when the Daylight Savings Time shift took effect last spring. Come to think of it we're about due to hit the backside of that mess rather soon...
