While most of our cooks today build on the latest OS releases, it seems that vp3G works with 'official' releases. I think he is there keeping a low profile and whenever/if-ever AT&T releases a new Rom upgrade, he will do his magic. I have used this Rom as a base after all of my flashing because when all is said and done, I flash his and everything works.

God! This thread is starting to sound like a religious experience. 'He is there and watching us...' I also stared out with vp3G, but life goes on.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dick Starbuck:
Ok, so I have been using this ROM for a little while and I really like it. It seems very stable and is well suited for ATT users.

Thanks vp3g( I heard he walks on water).

I haven't had any issues... except when I hide the comm manager in the system tray. I know this is well documented in multiple threads, but I was just wondering if there is any hope on this front. The only quirk I have noticed is when I try and change themes while the sys tray is hidden. If I unhide and reset (a couple times) I can change themes correctly; and then hide the tray again. I can live with this workaround (inconvenience) because the rest of the ROM seems STABLE and I don't plan on changing themes very often.

Are there any ROMs or reg edits that have successfully hidden these icons?

I thought I read somewhere about jasjamming' ROMs not having this issue, is this true?

Special Characters off to the right one

Hello,

I just installed vp3G 3.62.3 and my special characters are off by one on the slide out keyboard.

So If I click Blue +Q instead of ! I get ~ This is off on the whole keyboard. Is there something I can do short of reinstalling?

Cheers,

Hello guys. Everything in this ROM works great and I love it. Only one problem!! When I log on to a website it appears to try and download data, and all I get it a white screen. I try another site and no luck. I have to do a soft reset to get PIE to function. This happens with 3G, EDGE, and WIFI.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Advice on moving on?

I migrated from the palm os about 6 months ago and the learning curve was pretty bumpy for me. Infact, if not for vp3G's rom and spb shell I would have tossed my 8525 out the window. It seems that no further development will be done to this rom and I am looking for advice on possible migration to newer rom's. First let me say that there is not a single complaint or request that I have of this rom. Does that stop me from looking over the fence? Nope. Should I stay right where I am? Probably. So, am I still looking around at all the new 6.1 roms popping op? Yup. So, anyone with any advice/experience's with other ATT friendly roms that would like to toss in their 2 cents would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance;

I have been using Kin0Kin ROMs for about three months. Just downloaded his final 6.0 (full) ROM. The fastest and stable ROM available. Planning to upgrade.

BTW, I have been watching the 6.1 ROM development. CRCinAu seems to have a good ROM. However, I think it's to early to move to the next generation.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dieKatze88:
I moved to schaps. Its a hard move to make, as there are some things about that rom that will probably piss you off at first, but once you get the hang of it, its not that bad. That rom is also a little faster on my 8525 than vp3G was, so its a winning situation.

Schaps 6.1 is a little broken right now, but its going to be fixed soon enough. It never takes him long.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jayman007:
Any news on if vp3G is developing a cooked ROM for the Tilt? I just got one as a replacement for my 8525 but don;t think I can bring myself to start using it till I find a solid cooked ROM to throw on it.

In case VP3G is arround...

Just wanted to thank you for an excellent piece of software. I just upgraded to your ROM and so far is working perfect. I have a small issue with the battery meter, but I'm sure I can work it out. Also, could be a coincidence, but after upgrading (from the official AT&T ROM) I'm getting over 800 kbps and HSDPA bandwidth.

PS,

Just posted thanks to mrvanx and olipro as well!

Questions from a novice user...

I have an HTC TyTN that I purchased from HTC 6/06. It's running on AT&T wireless and I'd like to access some of the features in the current ROM, but I can't upgrade due to an "invalid vendor code" error. Any ideas on how I can bypass this error? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] XtreMe_G:

Okay I have read all 76 pages but i still have a question or two

I have already upgraded to the newest ATT WM6 rom which has the 1.54 radio ,

Now i noticed that there is no radio in Nates rom listed below.

If I upgrade to this, do i have load a radio afterwards, or will it retain the radio from the last rom update?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noellenchris:

data drop

I have been running this radio for some time now and just noticed that when I am tethered to my laptop with USB and connected to 3G my data connection drops when a call comes in. It will not resume till I hand up the phone.

I was using the latest ATT radio 1.54.07 and I thought that might be the problem so I changed to 1.50.00.00 but still drops data during voice.

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong here would be greatly appreciated.

on ATT/Cingular in Las Vegas.

EDIT: Just wanted to post the solution to this. If you have it setup to disconnect your data connection after any period of time this will drop your data connection immediately upon using the voice connection. I disabled this and now I can use both simultaneously.

vp3G, I sure hope you're back in the Hermes kitchen again. As an AT&T rep, I honestly recommend your ROM to all of my customers using an 8525. But your cooking needs some new spice man! Don't get me wrong, even after using several other ROMs, I'm still back to yours. But you gotta give us some more spice!

Hopefully things are okay, but I thought I'd speak for those of us that find your ROM useful.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mchapman007:
I don't know if this is Spb or ROM related but my battery just died over night. I had flashed vp3G's 3.62.3 ROM and installed the following apps:

1.) Dinasoft MemMaid

2.) Microsoft Voice Command

3.) CoreCodec CorePlayer

4.) Spb Pocket Plus, Spb Mobile Shell 2.0, Spb Backup, Spb Time, Spb Diary, Spb Phone Suite, Spb Insight, Spb Weather, Spb UltimateMax Icon Set

5.) HTC Album

6.) Yes I went a little crazy on the Spb Apps.....

After charging up the phone enough to turn it on, i found that it also had changed to flight mode. Also the phone had performed a scheduled backup at midnight. (Could the auto reboot following the backup be related?)

Note: Battery is 1 Month old. (1500mAh 3.7V)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joel32137:
Did you buy your battery from an AT&T store (genuine OEM) or did you buy it from a non-oem vendor...ebay perhaps....

It could very well be your battery if it's not OEM.... it's kind of a hit or miss from my experience....

Two quick questions:

1. how is this ROM for battery usage? i am using the official ROM with terrible battery life.

2. can i still use voice dialing throughh my BT headset? I was confused by some posts that said you could and others said you could. I do 90% of my dialing via the standard voice dial, either through the headset or the handset. NEVERMIND, used my reading comprehension skills and figured it out :)

I searched this thread but no answers

I noticed a few weeks ago that I was always connecting to medianet. I have the unlimited plan so i dont care what i connect to, as long as it is the fastest...

I try to connect to GPRS but it will never connect. Does this rom permanently disable GPRS connect so people can get the $20 medianet plan and not worry about it. I believe I heard GPRS is faster and I have noticed it to be slow with medianet, so if I could connect to GPRS I would love to know how...if its faster than medianet.

Also, is there a way to always be connected, so my weather on today screen just always updates? (using SBSH)....thanks in advance.

VP's rom rocks! The only thing is, I updated the phone rom from 148 to the new 154 and I'm having problems with that. I'm getting 4 full bars, but people are telling me that I'm breaking up on my phone calls.

This new 3.62 rom is faster on my phone then 3.61. I'm keeping this build and I think I'm going back to phone 148. That's been the best for me so far in Tampa FL.

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Known issue. I believe it has something to do with who is using what API to get the time clock tick. That's why I hide the taskbar clock by default. :)

Yes, it's documented in 3.61; haven't added it to the known issues for 3.62 yet but it still applies. All recent ROMs have the issue and it was it's right or maybe cyphol that came up with the fix.

Haven't had to hex edit the build numbers since v3.0, so there's versions of BBC that will work. Check the v3.60 and v3.61 threads... I know there's been some BBC-related discussion there.

BTW, I may be dreaming this up, too, but 3.62 seems to run quicker than 3.61. Battery life has been excellent and, if anyone cares, the 1.54.07.00 radio is working very well here in San Francsico.

I am in Edge area and I tested the speed using http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed using 100K file. The result is 15 kbit/sec. Very slow. Is it because of the ROM or the Radio?

Wifi Problems

Hello all,

I updated to 3.62 and since have had problems with WIFI. At first i noticed that it would not connect to my home network. After playing around with it, i found that if I broadcast my SSID, everything is ok. with wm5 SSID broadcast was not an issue. I am concerned because i will mostly be around non broadcasted networks.

Has anyone seen this before.

The reason I ask is because I suspect this program makes my phone freeze after a few hours of using it...The today screen seems to work fine, but Batti's bar on top shows solid color (it should show percent lines) and clicking on anything will completely freeze the phone, oh and during that time no alarm goes off...

So, I removed it and shall see in next 24 hours if its defenetly Batti that does it.

Just wondering if anyone actualy using it without problem though.
