Does anyone want a v3.3 with the WMPlayer full screen fix implemented?

Hello all,

I have my own personal version with several new additions and changes to v3.2 with the added WMPlayer full screen fix.

Here are the differences between v3.2 and v3.3:

ADDED tweaks/files/apps:

--Battery Bar (new settings tweak)

--ClockOnTop (EA's tweak implemented)

--BubbleBreaker (added back in)

--HTCWMPPlug.dll file added to fix WMPlayer screen issue

REMOVED files/tweaks/apps:

--BTRouter

--GPScom

--Voipiser (app)--removed due to user's complaints of difficulty

--Voipiser2 (app)--removed due to user's complaints of difficulty

--Power on/off settings tweak--removed due to questionable functional ability...I received the same functional outcome in EA's ROM

--removed Multimedia folder in start menu

--MultiFlashlight

--text in initflashfiles "ATCIUI"

links names edited/changed to the following:

Omap Clock

Oxios Alarms

Edit Registry

SIM Manager

If I don't hear responses I will assume no one wants this version and I won't update post #1...I just wanted to offer a version with the added WMPlayer fix.

Thanks again and I hope you are enjoying v3.2!!! :)

Looks interesting. By the way what it the --Battery Bar (new settings tweak)?
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Cool, perhaps you can bundle BT router and GPS com?

Btw, my suggestion is to include all the original images. the optimized image seems blurry
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Karhoe,

Good suggestion, I will bundle all the removed apps. What do you mean by second suggestion regarding original images and optimized image??

@e-v@n,

Battery Bar is a cool little settings tweak that will display a battery bar across the top of the screen (very small, thin battery indicator) when not on the homescreen...it can be easily enabled/disabled in the settings menu with a soft reset.

Thanks for the input.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I don't know if you realized this, but im using 3.1 and all the pictures seems to be optimized, I can see some grainy pictures. Example is the background image for the default theme and the background image when calling someone.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
karhoe, I'm the one to blame for the "optimized" images. But I was able to save about 500KB, without anyone else noticing. ;) Btw, the calling background is not optimized, just the startup/shutdown images and theme backgrounds.

vjgrace, release your new ROM, my friend. And let the people decide if they'll "wear" it! ;)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Nitrogenious,

As usual, you are Genious :) !! Thanks for addressing Karhoe's concern about images.

I will release this v3.3 with all the up to date fixes and hopefully once again, it will be my last. :D
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Well, people forget that you built your ROM based on my greek one (and that I built my ROM based on Shark's russian one). So I'm responsible for some of your features/bugs. :D

My advice: make your personal ROM based on your needs and release it for anyone who will appreciate it. You can't fulfill anyones wishes! ;)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Good Advice, THANK YOU!!
[HTC Tornado] UserN1:
Hi all!

VJ your ROM 3.2 is very GOOD (NiTroGenious ROM is good too) and work in my phone stable. V3.3 look fine, but i have several notes :)

ADDED tweaks/files/apps:

all good except ClockOnTop. It is useless because Xbar is better and clockOnTop is secondary program. Pls don´t added, this program can everyone install alone cause is freeware :)

REMOVED files/tweaks/apps:

Power on/off settings tweak - i don´t know...

MultiFlashlight is good. I think that will be better don´t remove this program :)

why remove Multimedia folder in start menu?I haven´t problem with this.

OTHERS

Don´t forget add animated startup by Nitro with sounds off

What about? post 215 in this thread, CoolCamera…and new Shark's ROM release :)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thanks for your comments...v3.3 is now posted, keep v3.2 if you like the previously included applications...v3.3 is my personal version with all the up to date fixes integrated and an attempt to maximize storage space.

Most of the applications can be run on the storage card and now are included in an bundled applications zip file now included in post#1. As far as the clock on top tweak...you are right xbar has a great feature...there were requests for the clock on top and it can always be disabled in settings/control panel (minimal space about 40kb with file and tweak settings) and I thought why not just keep it because it is so small and it works like a charm.

Multimedia folder removed...trying to maintain original wm6 style :) .

As far as the other tweaks you mentioned...wait for Nitro's upcoming ROM...it is going to be great!!!

Thanks again for your comments.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well, as for my opinion, since the images are optimized, they looked abit grainy, and to have a grainy picture for background, etc, just seems to be ugly, since that is the first thing you notice when you look at your phone
[HTC Tornado] UserN1:
Wow its very good :)

Its true, alike i prefer clear ROM so this is good direction :)

I understand

Just I have looked on this thread and i have written new post :)

PS: sorry for my bad english
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
@UserN1,

Thanks for your comments, if you keep it, I hope you enjoy :) .

@Karhoe,

Thanks for the feedback :) .
[HTC Tornado] maciek1:
It's very good and fast ROM, i think better than perfect but there is no support for .wma files in this ROM. WHY?... I must search for codecs:(... Please repair this in next version;)

------------------edit-1--------------------------

It works on WMP, but not in TCPMP, why?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thanks for correcting that it works on WMP, .wma files work great with WMP...I don't use TCPMP...but I believe that having the proper codecs installed are possibly the issue with TCPMP.

Thanks for your comments.
[HTC Tornado] maciek1:
So where is the problem? In "Perfect English Edition" ROM it works perfect in the same version of TCPMP;). Can you do something with this?

Thanks

Maciek
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Just copy those two DLLs in the TCPMP directory. ;)

http://rapidshare.com/files/73167399/WMV9_Codecs.rar

Andot had them included in his ROM, but I had removed them because they can be installed in the Storage Card. :)
[HTC Tornado] maciek1:
Thank you @NiTro;) It works:D
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Of course it does!!!! ;)
[HTC Tornado] oromeo:
Can you tell me more ? Where's TCPMP directory ? I can't find it!
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Look in Program Files directories (internal memory & memory card).
[HTC Tornado] fchan6sg:
Thanks mate. Good work.
[HTC Tornado] keff:
Hi everyone, I have just installed this wonderful ROM, but I have quite a big problem: when I open any SMS or email, i see just blank screen with blue captions: To: Sent: and Callback:, but with no text, and when I want to write SMS, there is just blank screen with To:, which doesn't react on keypresses (i can't choose a contact to send message to, or write text)... see attached.

Only reasons I can think of are that I changed my locale to Czech (but it is the same with English:United States), and that I restored sms messages from backup via Jeyo Mobile Companion (which had never mess anything on wm6), and besides, i get same thing in mobile outlook emails.

Can you help me, please? I hope i haven't missed something..
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello keff,

I just checked SMS and email and have no problems with sending, receipt, synchronizing, or anything with these two messaging options. Could possibly be a software conflict. I have never used Jeyo before, so I can't advise on that software. Changing locale shouldn't change anything especially if you were having issues with the English...this could indicate a software conflict. You may want to uninstall your loaded software and recheck without the software...if this doesn't resolve, may want to hard reset and check before and after loading each software to make sure you aren't having issues with your 3rd party software. I know it is a pain to check each software you load, but sometimes that is the only way to find the culprit.

Good luck. :)
[HTC Tornado] keff:
OK, so I flashed the ROM again and this time those SMS templates seems to be magically OK, but there are lot of other subtler things... formatted BINFS, flashed this ROM, didn't change a single setting, didn't install any software:

Tornado is asking me to turn off wifi to save power every 5 minutes, even though wifi is off,

when I power it on, it doesn't see my wifi router (and no other wifi),

sync on wmdc just takes forever and ends with error,

SMS's doesn't have contact's photo,

bluetooth thinks that my laptop doesn't offer activesync service, so it cannot sync via BT (AS service is turned on at laptop),

After plugging it into USB port, the 'charging' icon changes back to battery icon after 5secs, even if activesync stays connected after that...

Sorry, Mr cook, this ROM seems to be very raw, please bake more careful before releasing...

Good old andot's V6, it works perfectly (except for losing time and date), no matter the older OS build no. ... :(

EDIT:sorry everyone for being so harsh, my apologies to everyone! The problems gradually disappeared after several reboot, I can't say I understand how...
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Keff,

Thanks for your input, stick with Andot's PEE (a great ROM) if you had success with that, or try another ROM (there are several available)...this ROM has worked great for me and many others. Most of the issues you report in your post are new and never have been reported. This ROM has been available and used for a little under a month now. There have been a few fixes, but that is natural for any ROM.

So my advice, try another, stick with one that suits you, but thanks anyway for your input :).
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I flashed this ROM v3.3 last week and did not face any problems at all. In fact I am enjoying this ROM very much. Much better than any other releases.

I would suggest you start with hard reset and from the beginning with the format BINFS.

Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
VJ - I'm really impressed by your responses! I have seen many other developers get very irritated when people slam on their work. You seem to always have a very calm response. Just for that you need to get major points!! :)

Keff - Well, I can't say I have seen *any* of what you're reporting. But I am currently running v3.2 (didn't see any reason to upgrade since I manually have all the changes dialed in). Are you sure it's not a hardware issue with your phone? I was on Andot's ROM which I liked. Then I went to EAs, which was better. But VJs is the best of all.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
@ illi and bipinsen,

Thanks for the support. If you continue to use the 3 series (well, until Nitro releases his ultimate :D ), I hope you enjoy them :).

Take care!!
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
We already have an Ultimate WM6 version, so I have to come up with an other name. :D
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hmmm, what will it be?? :D

I'll tell you one thing, it is going to kick a@!, if you know what I mean :cool: .

java?

Can i run java apps w/this rom and if so w/what app
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello,

You will need a midlet manager, I have attached one, just make sure you have set your phone to English and you should be fine...this attached one works great. There are other midlet managers, just search for midlet manager in this forum and you'll find others if you don't like this one.

I picked up this attached one from this thread:

Thanks for the inquiry :) .
[HTC Tornado] keff:
Hello vjgrace, I am now really sorry for being so harsh - should have cooled myself down before writing the post. I appreciate that you make such a great work for all of us in your free time, and I want to apologize for demotivating you.

As for the problems - i started installing some software, and resetting device between installations, and the problems disapeared - i can now connect to wifi+BT, and everything works. The strange thing is that I have formatted BINFS before flashing the ROM, so theoretically it should have been clean. Well, error in matrix, maybe?:)

Thanks for your work, and good luck!
[HTC Tornado] hennek:
A really grate ROM. I installed V 3.3 tree days ago and up until now I didn´t have any problems, really fast and stable!!!

I just whant to know one thing vjgrace, is this:

the voipser that you used in the previous releases? because I found it really usefull.

Tx a lot vjgrace for this rom!!!!

And sorry for my poor English.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Hennek,

It sure is. Also, Voipiser is included in the bundled applications zip file in post#1...some of the applications that were removed from Nitro's v5 base, but most are in .exe format, except Voipiser which is in cab format.

I removed this program because folks thought it was difficult to use, I am glad you found it useful. Just install the cab and you should be good to do.

I am glad you are enjoying this ROM, thanks for your question :).

I went ahead and attached it below for you...THANKS TO KAST FOR CREATING THIS LITTLE PROGRAM!! :)

ENJOY!!
[HTC Tornado] UserN1:
Hi,

maybe really error in matrix because i have too czech locale and I restored sms messages and contacts from backup via Jeyo Mobile Companion (for WM06 is demand JMC 2.0, older version didn't function me) too and i didn't have problem.

Maybe bad first instalation...

So enjoy this ROM, its very good!Thanks vjgrace and NitroGenious
[HTC Tornado] UserN1:
Sound really good :cool:
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thanks UserN1 for your comments :) .
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Although I like it, I'd prefer not to include my name, because this new version will be a collective work. Anyway, let's not spoil this conversation with name proposals. I'll surprise you when the time comes! :p
[HTC Tornado] Davka:
WM5torage 1.8 is avaiable! How can I upgrade old version that is in this ROM?
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Just install it! ;)
[HTC Tornado] keff:
So, I found the cause - if you go into Settings, and in the newly added Internet Explorer item choose to disable activeX support, the described problem will happen. Obviously, SMS/email/mms reading/writing is handled by some activeX component.

It would be nice to either write some notice to 'disable ActiveX' setting, or just remove it, what do you think?
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Thanks for digging into this keff. I agree with you. If the result of ticking off that check box are so severe, then maybe it's not worth having (or having some explanation text behind it - which may be hard to implement).
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thank you Keff,

I will let Nitrogenious know about this and he may remove it in his next version or provide a notice if users will untick.

Thanks again :) .

Unable Beam Files thru Bluetooth

I manage to pair both my device and another phone but when attempted to beam files to the other device it doesnt work. It worked fine with the original ROM (WM5). But I didnt try it when I installed other cooked ROMs before this. Could this be ROM issue?

In the pairing setting I have two items, ie. Serial Port and Input Device. I tried the combination of 1- ticking both, 2- both unticked, 3-either one tick. But still failed to transmit.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello illi,

I only use wifi for file transfers, I have never attempted to transfer/beam files with bluetooth. I have read a couple forum threads regarding this issue and wm6.

I just updated to this rom (latest 3.3) from the PPE i had before, i seem to have only one problem which i'm really hoping you can help me with. On the PPE rom I could see hebrew fonts, now i only have squares :(

I'm not talking about bidi or typing Hebrew, just seeing the fonts in SMS that i'd get from people. I don't mind the reading in mirror, but i do need to be able to see the fonts. I've tried copying the tahoma fonts from my Windows to the Font folder, but still nothing.

Can you please help out?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Sefy,

I won't be able to provide support for the Hebrew because this is an English version, but I can provide some links of others who are dealing with similar inquiries:

and the attached link:

Other inquiries but for different type of phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=267711

I know this is not much help, continue with the Andot's PEE (it is a great ROM) if you are unable to find the answer and continue to see the "squares".

Maybe someone else in this forum knows the resolution of reading Hebrew in SMS, I have not found much information regarding this specific topic of SMS in Hebrew. Just for SMS, it seems like there should simply be a couple files to transfer to the windows directory (I am not sure)...now to add a language to the OS that is another story, there is more of a process to that (the link provided above regarding mui files).

Good Luck!! :)

As i've mentioned, i'm not looking into adding a secondary language :rolleyes:

[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Isn't it a rule that when you make a post like this you have to link to the software?

:rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello HamDzui,

I have not experienced this. Just make sure you are not holding the end call button down when ending a call...it is simply a keypress, just a suggestion. :)

@kutrie,

Make sure you have a voip service. If you are not seeing icons (phone) on the homescreen, there is a good possibility you changed the homescreen layout. Just check under settings ->homescreen->homescreen layout...there are a few to choose from but the windows wireless and default have the mru icons...Windows default has the voip plugin. Additionally the commManager in the start menu can disable/enable voip.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the right soft-key cause the phone to ignore the call?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Exitao,

It sure does, I believe HamDzui was referring to "red color" (end call) button on SDA. :)

However, good input on the right soft-keypress, it does indeed ignore the call when incoming call present.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
See, when I read this:

I think this means he's using the end call instead of the soft-key...

"No Answer" = ignore?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Exitao,

Either way, the inquiring member has some good information now.

Thanks for your input and suggestions. :)
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
vjgrace forgot to mention that there is a new version available. :)

The major improvement is the hardware key tweak - a really great feature! :D

You've done a great work, vjgrace. ;)

will it work on my Cingular 2125 & Spv C600..???
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:

[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Just installed this, and I noticed one thing right away. In every screen except the home screen, there is a color bar on the top. What's going on here? This wasn't present in the other ROMS... :confused:

EDIT:

Wait.. This is a new fangled feature: The Battery Bar! Silly me. Well, cool.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Would be better if the Battery Bar can replace the original Battery indicator TOTALLY!!;)
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Where did they go??

Ok.. I've been looking all over and I can't find the control panel entries for defining startup and shutdown images and sounds... Was this removed? Don't tell me I have to go back to the first post to see what changed... ;)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I suggest you read the first post:) . vjgrace had alot of things there...
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Yep. Just did. No mention of the shortcuts being taken out. On the other hand, he explicitly says that all the tweaks from the previous versions had been retained.

What's going on VJ?? When I went to the registry, I didn't even see the location for HKLM\Software\HTC\Startup and \Shutdown. Did you disable these?
[HTC Tornado] illi:
You're right. I cant find it either. But simply "throw" a png file with the right name over to \windows folder will do the trick.

Sorry to make you "run around"
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Yep - know about that. But I like to use a nice animated gif for a startup screen. And that's not supported here. I made the jump from 3.2 to 3.4. So somewhere in there this got taken out.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I see. Well probably you get vjgrace to answer that.. but have to be patient since he is seldom around (thats what he says) but I noticed he is quite often hangin' around here:D
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Did v3.2 had animated startup/shutdown support? I don't recall that. Maybe you had installed my oemstartup package: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1688151&postcount=203
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
you're right, the option to give your own image in the settings windows was deleted, and you can not overwrite the available pic ms_splash.png.

The former versions 3.1 and 3.2 offered that posibility
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Yep. For sure it had the option. It was even as a selection in the Control Panel!!! I had thought that was one of the most user-friendly tweaks since I use it in *every* ROM I have ever used.

@Nitro: That's a very nice cab. In fact, I wouldn't complain too much if you had this by default. Those were the two gif images I use for my screens anyway.
