may i ask what do u mean by no GSM?

can i still make calls from my dopod 577w?
[HTC Tornado] ericjm:
congrats on your ROM mate!

glad to see all these hardwork. :)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thanks ericjm!!

@admin22,

No GSM means no radio, you are just able to pick the radio you want. This is just the OS. If you already have radio on your system, you should still be able to make calls if you were able to before. If you want the latest radio version just search for the radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 and you will find one. I will try to upload one to Rapidshare for you.

Here is Rapidshare link for this radio:

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
WOW!!! Nice work, vjgrace. You really did it! Almost 20MB free internal storage; a new record!!!

Welcome to the ROM cooking game, pal! :)

Btw, "Phonebook Speed Dial key mappings changed to match t9" refers to the Greek character key mapping (in original Greek ROM the character key mapping in Speed Dial was different than the one in SMS editing!!!), so you don't need to describe it as a feature. :D Because of that "feature", there is no Cyrillic character support in Speed Dial, unless you install the package I provide here. :)

@admin(!!!)22:

You can also upgrade the GSM together with the bootloader, using the SPL link in my signature. ;)
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
So what's your review on this, Nitro?

Will I like it better than EA's chinese/english?
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
As I have already said, there is no good, better or best ROM. There is only the one that satisfies you and your needs. EA's has many new settings, but lacks of application quantity. This one has many useful applications and more free space. It's your call...

My english ROM was just a very rush release to satisfy all you non-greek Tornado owners. EA's ROM was a great update. But this ROM is just what I really wanted to release! ;)

Keep up the good work, vjgrace! If you need any help/advice for future releases, don't hesitate to ask. :)

EDIT: I've just noticed that the available memory/storage values are written vice versa. :p
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Created final version

Hello all,

Refer to post #1, I have v2 still listed in post #1 if you still want it, but I have finished a final version, which is listed in post #1. I have deleted the link and text to the version in this post to decrease confusion, thanks!!!
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Well, OK, but... What's the point of loosing all these apps and games for a 0.01kb gain? I don't think you should release a new version, unless you replace all those kBytes with something more usefull. ;)
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I quite liked your ROM. EA's worked better for me (after tweaking the audiogain), probably because of the fewer applications.

I'm not entirely sure which of your included apps was causing me the trouble, but if I could have resolved that, I'd likely not have bothered trying yet another.

I guess that for me, less is more. :o
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
@Nitrogenious,

Thanks for your comments, you are correct...definitely not much gain on the storage side of it, but a little on the memory side (0.34mb) not much though. I really just wanted to give the option of more control/options for the base with the ability to still use the apps on the storage card.

@Exitao,

I too am under the train of thought that less is more...that is without effecting storage amount.

If you have the audiogain tweak maybe I could implement in the registry...Just let me know.

Thanks again for your comments, they are appreciated!!
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Since you have not removed any applications from the StartUp directory, you have no memory gain or loss. What you should always consider an error of +-1MB maximum. Why? Because of the cache. If you browse more the Start Menu before checking the available memory you'll see less of it. If you open the Home Screen settings before the System Setting, free memory is again reduced. So, an error of +-1MB should always be considered!

And also do not forget the ...Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle for Windows Mobile; the memory report utility consumes an amount of memory. :p

In other words, you have no gain in available memory by removing a non-startup application, even it seems so. ;)
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I don't know why but the speaker phone was really quiet. I tried some tweaks I found in the forums, but apparently audiogain tweaks don't always work well across different smartphones.

The one I settled on came from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1374443&postcount=108

However, in my mucking about I may have altered others before using the ones he mentions above. So below are my current settings (excluding the handsfree/car stuff I've never used, let alone tweaked):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\audiogain1]
"CODEC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
A0
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
10
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
79
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
10
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
32

Maybe you could tell me what your settings are so I can see what I've changed...?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Exitao,

Thanks for the PM regarding that link to this ROM, boy that is frustrating, I just sent you a PM. Thanks again.

Well, here is the registry for this ROM...I haven't noticed a decrease in speakerphone volume but I will definitely listen to see if my phone is affected. If so, I will implement your provided tweak in an updated version to make sure this ROM has the optimal tweaks.

@Nitrogenious, THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS...GREAT INFORMATION!!!

Thanks again,

vjgrace

P.S. to Exitao...This block of code I just provided proves that the individual who is taking credit for this ROM build on that link is a fraud because the only way to get this specific block of code (from this build and this version) is to dump the rom and build the rgu files. What a shame.:(
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I quite like EA's ROM because of the extra UI setting tweaks. Does this have such UI tweaks?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello illi,

Thanks for the inquiry...I was actually about to ask Nitrogenious how to manipulate the registry to add those tweaks. Thanks to Nitrogenious this does have some extra settings tweaks (display timeout adjustment, IE tweaks, Voice tag location tweaks, and more), I am not sure how many more EA's version has (I haven't dumped and located), but hopefully I will be able to find out those values and implement them in this version.

Thanks again for the questions.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Hi vjgrace,

Thanks for the quick reply. I hope your next release will compliment at least EA's if not more on the UI tweaks. I especially am interested to have the IE and Inbox folders in Storage Card; (its a pain to manually tweak the registry every time I flash different ROM). I have also tweaked the \Volatile folder to point to Storage Card. It saves as well and at least maintain the speed/responses when running applications.

Thank you.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello illi,

Looks like we are online at the same time, that's pretty wild :cool: (I usually don't answer questions quickly). Anyway, I asked Nitrogenious about the tweak values and hoping to get a response. Once I know where to look to manipulate those values I can dump EA's ROM, find his values and hopefully implement them in this version. Always easier to manipulate registry in Settings rather than registry edit, if you know what I mean.

Thanks again
[HTC Tornado] admin22:
hey thanks. i am from singapore, and singapore have a static IP, not sure if i can dl from rapidshare. but i will report back here is i cant downloadit .thanks a lot!!!!
[HTC Tornado] Shiryu:
Thanks for great rom, vjgrace :)

I have one question: how can I bind Long_VolDown shortcut with MultiFlashLight? I've created a shortcut and it works, but MFL starts at the same time, as Cyberion VoiceCommand... :confused:
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Not the case karhoe because my device is not a "headset stereo". It only support "wireless handsfree". But it worked. So its "mono" only. Well what can you expect from a cheap Motorola H350.
[HTC Tornado] grandmaster_b:
Hi guys I have not been on the forums in a while I am still using ANDOTS rom is this the new replacement for ANDOTS ?

What I am looking for is same as andots but faster any more features and stable ?

DSF - what are you using now ?

Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
@grandmaster_b: This one is the ROM you are looking for. ;)

@bipinsen: Thank you, mate. Cheers!!! :D
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well, I would like to see some changes in the next version, if there is any

1) I think most of us prefer to have those icons in the Multimedia folder taken back out

2) Remove the New SMS shortcut

Let's compile the list of changes
[HTC Tornado] asmd:
@vjgrace: Many thanks for this ROM. I love it:D

One thing I want to personalize for me, is the text size to read/write sms.

I changed the font size in the file "read_style.0409.css" for read sms and everything works fine.

Then I tried to change the file "compose_style.0409.css" for write sms.

But the only thing changes is the text "to" and the character count.

The name/number after the "to" stays big and bold. The text I write too.

Which parameters in this file must be changed to change the text size and the name/number?

Many thx for your help
[HTC Tornado] Davka:
Recently I've installed this ROM twice: with formating BINFS and without it. There is no noticable difference (if there is any).
[HTC Tornado] illi:
@karhoe

I suggest a new "Cooked ROM Wish-List" thread to avoid cluttering vjgrace thread. I appoint you the care-taker:LOL:p
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thanks illi , I appreciate this!! :D

@asmd,

Thanks for your comments.

I don't know if this answers your question, but by default I set the font size for editing SMS 12, this can be easily changed by the added tweak in the settings menu, here is the map:

Settings->Accessibility->SMS Edit Font Size

Change it however you want :), then soft reset.

@Karhoe,

I snuck another version of the v3.2 in there with that NewSMS shortcut already removed when we were having our dialogue the other evening :D .

Thanks all.
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Fine, fine, fine. It's Thanksgiving day, and I have all day to mess around with my phone. Well.. at least till the food's done!

I went ahead and installed v3.2 Great stuff. No more manual tweaking, and all the good things still intact. Even Reboot in Quick List works! ;)

Quick question for anyone.. I had made registry saves of certain settings with Mobile Registry Editor. Now I can't figure out how to import them in the phone. I thought Total Commander could do that, but I can't see how. Any help?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello bipinsen,

If you saved those items they should be in *.reg format, correct? If so, it may be good to associate that type of file in File Manager with the provided registry editor in the start menu and you should be able to import, just look under tools in the editor.

Good Luck.

EDIT--Theoretically you should have been able to import, but the PHM Registry Editor program doesn't appear to have been updated on their website, in fact they had planned to have .reg files imported, but never completed their plan...their version .70 which is installed here never appears to have been updated since '02 :( . So this should have worked, but it won't.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
On the desktop I use Smartione which can export and import registry files. Since I am responding from my phone I cant help you search the web site. Can you help yourself please?8-) However the site is in a European language, not English.

Good luck!
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Hi illi! Thanks for the tip. I hunted around for it, and finally got it. Looks promising, but it doesn't look like these guys have been around in a while. I always have a hard time using stuff that has been abandoned as a project. But I will try it. Any other ideas from anyone? :)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello bipinsen,

In post#190 I provided technique for importing *.reg files with the provided registry editor, but the program has never been updated. I have never used your Mobile registry editor, but it appears it is newer than the PHM registry editor so most likely you will be able to import *.reg files.

So you may want to refer to post #190, install your mobile registry editor (I know a pain to have 2 registry editors other than total commander) and you should be good to go. It appears that Total Commander doesn't have an import feature for the registry editor :( .

Good Luck!
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
To edit the compose SMS size, it is done through the registry, not the CSS file, in VJ 3.2 ROM, it can be edited directly from the Accesibility
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
hi grandmaster_b. sorry for the late reply.

The new build seems a bit more responsive.

I'm currently useing EA's ROM, but this ROM is good too. NiTroGenious is right, go for it ;).

One thing that i don't like is the Start Menu organization of NiTroGenious/vjgrace roms. I prefer the 'default' order, without extra folders.

actually Total Commander is capable for importing/exporting registry entries.

First activate 'Virtual 2 windows mode' from File > VIEW MODES.

On one window go to Plugins > \\REGISTRY . Press * to switch to the second window. Go to the folder where your reg file is present. Hover the file, press 5 (copy).

Done.

The export works the same way.

I personaly use Resco Registry (Resco Explorer plugin) because it's a faster method. (just click for import)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
DSF,

Thanks for the info, very helpful!! :)
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
This is what I love about people pitching in. Perfect solution in Resco! Great file explorer, and perfect registry editor. Thanks!!!
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well, when we open MobileRegistryEditor, it shows our phone as TORN100, is TORN100 the device ID?

How can I change TORN100 to dopod577w, because I have Cyberion Voice Commander which I think is better, and it works only with the device which it recognizes as dopod577w. So how can we change the TORN100 thingy ?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Karhoe,

I know the model ID is Tornado (when creating the nk.nbf translation), I am not sure about the device ID whether or not it is TORN100. I checked throughout the registry using several different keywords/terms to see if I could find device ID and no success (just found the model name)...this seems like it would be easy to change but I couldn't find it, sorry :( .

I hope you are able to find the answer, because this would be good information to know.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I tried searching through the registry, can't find TORN100 as well, cause I rememebred, when using WM5, MobileRegistryEditor shows dopod577w instead of TORN100 and I believe if I can change it to dopod577w, I can get Cyberion Voice Commander to work
[HTC Tornado] grandmaster_b:
Thanks DSF better late than never :)

I installd this ROM anyway to test it out so far it seems a lot faster than andots and more stabl voice dialing works, media player still wroks :)

Just for some reson the winows mobile starup is no longer animated and I can get no sound on startup and shutdown I have placed te wav files in windows dir and also tried using the config tool inc with the rom and still nothing any ideas ?

A bit picky but thats the only thing wrong with the ROM so far which is great :) well one to the cooker and contributors :)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello grandmaster_b,

Thanks for the input. When I flashed EA's rom to see what the tweaks were and how they functioned I noticed the power on/off tweak (the config tool you are talking about) didn't do anything for me personally...I tried a couple things with it and didn't get a response (I figured I was doing something wrong), so I went ahead and incorporated it into the v3 series. Sounds like something was wrong with the tool unless others using EA got it to function, I don't know.

With Andot's PEE there was a different build and a different type of file used for startup and shutdown, therefore he was able to get animation. If you find a 240x320 jpeg file and change it into a .png file and label it carrier_splash.png and carrier_shutdown.png you should have your startup and shutdown screens how you want them, just place them in the windows directory.

On another note, Because I wasn't able to get a response from this power on/off tweak I went ahead and removed it from my personal version (I really wouldn't use it anyway)...I also added a couple tweaks in settings, removed some apps, renamed some links, and removed the multimedia folder all performed to v3.2 to personalize my own version to my own tastes :) , if you know what I mean. Not much different from v3.2 just a little more specific to what I like.

I hope you enjoy v3.2 :) if you decide to use it.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
For (custom) animated startup/shutdown screens, you need to have oemstartup.dll and set the appropriate registry settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Shutdown]
"wav"="\\Windows\\shutdown.wav"
"Image"="\\Windows\\WindowsClose.gif"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Startup]
"wav"="\\Windows\\startup.wav"
"Image"="\\Windows\\WindowsOpen.gif"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown]
"Duration"=dword:000927c0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown\1]
"Splash"=""
"dll"="\\Windows\\oemstartup.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup]
"Duration"=dword:000927c0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"Splash"=""
"dll"="\\Windows\\oemstartup.dll"

Here's a complete package for animated startup/shutdown screens that I've prepared for you:

http://rapidshare.com/files/71924004/Animated_Startup_for_WM6_by_NiTroGen.cab

I will implement this tweak to my next ROM based on vjgrace's one. ;)

BTW, look what else the new ROM will have in the settings:

(please ignore the greek words - that's a screenshot from my greek ROM)

And that's only the beginning... ;)
[HTC Tornado] grandmaster_b:
Thanks a lot guys the circle is complete :)

Look forward to your new rls Nitro until then its 3.2 for me thanks guys.

Nitrogenious,

That looks Awesome!!! :cool:

The Circle of the Lost ROM Cookers!!!

LOL! :D
[HTC Tornado] Davka:
I've found one problem with this ROM. Sometimes when I write SMS (new or reply) Send button doesn't work. I can press it many times and it does not send the message. The workaround is save the SMS in Drafts and move it to Outbox.

Is there any fix for this?
[HTC Tornado] Jajajop:
Voip

Hey guys, anyone had a problem with the voip?

After introduce the details a got a message:

"The XML input is invalid or malformed"

An obviously doesn't register de configuration.

Any idea

Thanks very much for the great job.:)
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Try using "http://" at the beginning of the server's url. ;)
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
You are using VoIpiser, its very hard to use, just use the manual cab way
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Davka,

I don't use SMS much, and I haven't heard other folks having problems with it...I have used it a couple times for testing and have had no difficulty with sending (new or replying) but if others begin to report more problems with it, I will look into it.

Thanks for the inquiry. :)
[HTC Tornado] Davka:
OK. It's not happening all the time. I had it twice this week and rebooting the phone helps.

I'll try killing the proccess next time.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
VJ I have another suggestion, since we are working towards having screen rotation on Tornado, its already working anyhow, just the joystick in the keyboard driver need to be defined in lanscape mode.

The vox driver works well in Tornado, so perhaps you should incorporate the driver in your next ROM
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
no problem grandmaster_b :)

bipinsen, vjgrace with pleasure. xda-developers is a great community, where we can learn and share a lot of usefull things.

looks really good NiTroGenious. keep up the good work :)

Meanwhile.. a new ROM was realeased by shark.

http://www.wmfanclub.com/

It has ATCIUI (Modem Link), may be included in the upcoming ROM release, usefull sometimes.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I'm already aware of Shark's release, 'cause I'm a regular visitor of the WCE.BY forum. I was happy to see that he got some ideas of my release. :)

ATCIUI is already included in my C:\NewTornadoROM directory. ;)
[HTC Tornado] juan3211:
And a tweak for change the default reminder's times ?

I was looking for change the default postpone times in the reminders. I mean that when you have a reminder you can postpone 1, 5, 10, 15 minutos and so on (I don't remember at this moment).

But I would like to change them to: 10 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day and 1 week, or even a reminder that ask you whatever (like Outlook in our PC's)

Somebody can help me to find them in the registry (I don't find them), or could it be possible to make a tweak in your rom ?

Thanks a lot.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I don't think that this is possible by changing registry settings.
[HTC Tornado] juan3211:
What can we do, then ?

Nitro, what can we do ?

Do you think that you would be a extra-rom-cooker and take this into account ?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] grandmaster_b:
Hi VJ I have noticed 1 bug only so far and that is media player, if you play a video clip and you set the video to play full screen as default after a few seconds of playing the clip about 3 - 5 it returns to window mode so far I have yet to fine a way aroun this anyone know a fix ?

Other than that its excellent good work :)

Not forgetting the adition of animated startup courtesy of Nitro :)
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Yes... Use TCPMP. :p
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello grandmaster_b,

Thanks for the great comments!!

Here is a fix for the WMPlayer full screen issue...I will post it in post #1 in addition to providing it here.

Just unzip and place the .dll in your windows directory overwriting the existing file. You shouldn't have full screen issues with this HTCWMPPlug.dll file :) .

@ Nitro,

Thanks so much for all your helpful information, it is very appreciated!!! :)
[HTC Tornado] Ninja_Gundam:
Very strange... with this rom my sp5 joystick works but..too fast! When i push for example down it scroll like 2\3 times.. with previous wm6 another rom it act like dead and i had to push with so strenght to move. It must be really a software bug.. anyone know? I've read another post with possible fix ecc.. nothing worked, i have to try hair spry ^_^;;

Chooo

PS : Anyway great rom all my programs works well :) :) thx!
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello,

Sounds like a mechanical issue...I had a similar issue with the joystick and with cleaning it the problem was rectified. Search the forum for cleaning the joystick :) .

Good Luck!!
