Assigning Comm Manager

Please help me to assign comm manager to its hardware key, thanks.
[HTC Tornado] baron22:
I also have the active sync problem with this release.

The first time I tried to sync,Active Sync attempted to connect then failed.

I tried the untick "advanced network functionality"

But now active sync can't see a device connected and the phone doesn't show the usb connected icon at the top of the screen.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

EDIT - It appears the problem was with the cable...as my PSP wouldn't connect either.

Tried another cable and it's fine........Sorry for the inconvenience :(
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Vitoox,

Look at post #1 regarding the comm manager button assignment, there is a zip file called shortcut links that you can unzip and put those files in your windows directory. That will give you commanager for comm button (Short_POC.lnk), camera for short push on camera button (Short_Camera.lnk), and videorecorder for long push on camera button (Long_Camera.lnk) :) .

Additionally, sounds like you may have been having problems with MMS, I just posted v3.2 which should correct that problem...Make sure you have a data service plan and those individuals who you are sending mms to also need to have a data plan (you probably already know this), and that your data connections/service plan settings need to be configured correctly (this is very important). Once you configure your connections (your cell provider should have this configuration information) just soft reset and you should be good to go...I don't use MMS service but after doing the above information I was able to use it.

Hope that helps :) .
[HTC Tornado] vitoox:
VJ, Thank you very much for a great job! Absent-minded (no, not absinthe ;) ) I searched for sophisticated methods to do it...
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
No problem, take care and good luck :) !!
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Lol, what is the changes made from V3.1 to V3.2 that fixes the MMS problem, I don't want to reflash the entire ROM just for some minor registry changes, what is the changes made to solve the MMS problem ?

As for the NEW SMS, fixes, though I created a shortcut file with arguments to go straight into New SMS, I found out that the Right Menu editor actually have the option to add that.

If it's troublesome to explain, it's alright then, i'll flash your latest ROM after my exam

Anyway, good job in updating your ROM, better ROM, slowly but surely :-)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Karhoe,

I noticed I continued to get an error with sync when attempting to send MMS, after installing the webview.dll you provided, it resolved it, I don't know why or how, but I was able to send MMS :confused: after adding that file. So I went ahead and updated the ROM with your 3 files, added newSMS to the accessories folder (thanks again for all the files you provided :) ), added reboot to the QuickList, and added new tweak SMS service (from EA's ROM) to connections in settings/control panel.

Not many changes, but

if

the webview.dll did help (I don't know how it could for MMS), I just want to try to reduce the chance of errors, if you know what I mean :) .

Thanks again.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Adding the NewSMS into the accesories folder seems to be even more troublesome to access. I don't think anyone would want to access New SMS from there

Initially, I supplied the shortcut file so that we can edit the Right Menu to point to that file which is way faster, but later I found out you can add 'New SMS' from the Right Menu itself, no need for the shortcut.

Oh, you mean my webview.dll solved the problem of sending MMS ?

Well, then I don't have to reflash my phone so fast :)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
I don't know how webview.dll did, but apparently it cleared it up the issue for me.

Also, I don't use SMS so I didn't even know that Right Menu had that option for SMS :) . In my own version, I have already eliminated that New SMS from my ROM :D .

Well, there is not much difference between the two versions, but I'm just trying to reduce the chance of users having potential errors :) .
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well, just incase there are changes to be made to improve the ROM, remember to remove the shortcut, and perhaps update your first post to let people know that Right Menu have the option to add New SMS,

Also, I want to ask you

What is GPRS Auto Attach and Detach

Does this mean GPRS will not connect automatically? What if we want it to connect? say, for sending MMS ?

I realized that after disabling GPRS Auto Attach, the E sign no longer show there, which is good, means that I know GPRS would not connect automatically, so what if I receive incoming MMS and wants to download the message? Never tried MMS yet
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Yes! scrolls line by line. My preference

thanks
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
It allows for enabling/disabling the automatic GPRS feature (not a great function, but allows for more options for user :) ), default is set to enable, so never to worry unless if you want to disable it. One possible use (among other uses) may involve browsing IE history without initiating GPRS, avoiding data costs. This is another tweak I pulled from EA's rom.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Hmm, perhaps the scrolling for Email and text message is different? Don't know how or why
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Actually its a great feature, I have been drained around RM50 of talktime because GPRS auto initiate, that is around 50/3.5 USD but it's considered alot over here.

Edit - MMS works now, just some misconfiguration
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
You probably already did this, but you may want to soft reset if you did any adjustments to auto attach/detach before trying the MMS, it seems kind of quirky...I have never really used MMS before, but tried a couple simple messages and it functioned :) .

EDIT==You mentioned something about email/text scrolling???

Oh, BTW, updated first post with version without the NewSMS icon, lol :D .
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well, it works now.

I'm wondering about the webview.dll

All this while DSF said it works, and illi said scrolling EMAIL and IE is link by link. But all this while, im talking about scrolling SMS line by line, i'm wondering if that is the reason why DSF said his dll works but I kept saying his dll doesnt work for me (reading SMS)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
For me, the initial webview.dll from Nitro's v5 IE was link by link, then I ran into this MMS issue, so I tried your webview.dll.

EDIT==How different is your scrolling?
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well, when using ur 3.1, at first time using, the message opens halfway, and then scrolls page by page, not line by line.

After applying the registry fix, it opens from the bottom.

That is SMS viewing, perhaps DSF's dll doesn't affect IE browsing and Email?

I am not concerned on how IE was viewed, I seldom use them, I am only concerned on SMS issue, so all the while, I was actually talking about SMS viewing
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Oh, I may try my original webview.dll and double check the MMS.

EDIT--Everything appears to be good with the original webview.dll in v3.1 regarding MMS...the registry files provided by Karhoe in post #107 may have assisted MMS if people were having issues...For information regarding MMS read the general note for people using MMS in post #1 at the bottom of post if people had questions about MMS.

Either version you have 3.1 or 3.2 should do just fine with MMS. Version 3.2 just has additional files for improving SMS reading (thanks to Karhoe), now a reboot in quicklist, a different webview.dll file (if folks were having issues with IE scrolling, this should fix it) and an additional tweak from EA's ROM (SMS service).

I hope you enjoy either v3.1 or v3.2.

Not much difference between the two, both should work just fine!! :)
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
sorry! didn't observed the last page :(

Thanks!

The Scroll in SMS is line by line

Let's start from the beggin'.

The IE bundled with the new build (eg: 5.2.116.18120, even HTC TyTN II, ETEN X800! ETC) have an issue with scrolling. The scroll is not smooth as used to be in earlier version. It's very bad and slow.

So I say let's try to copy the browser files from an older build to see if that fixes the slow scroll problem. So, I've tried to copy the browser files from andot's dump, without iexplore.exe (copying that file will disable keymap). All worked fine.. but I've discovered that you need only one file for that, webview.dll.

So I've tried with different files. andot, vox and one found in HTC TyTN category.

The vox dll perfomed better for me. One of the others dll (don't remember which though :( ) displayed the page after the css was loaded (like older IE versions), and the other gave me a scroll page by page 'feature', everywhere where IE engine was used (sms, e-mail , etc).

So.. for me the VOX dll is the best, it fixes the heavy scrolling issue, it loads the page before loading css and it scrolls link by link. Everywhere: IE, SMS..

Though I found a problem, don't know if it's related to the dll. Sometimes (cannot reproduce, don't know the reasons) I cannot write in textarea blocks, but I can in text inputs. I have to soft reset to resolve this.

@vjgrace I don't use MMS, sorry
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I am on 3.1 and didnt have any issue with mms. Probably after I copied DSF's webview.dll; didnt try mms before that.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thanks illi,

Good info. I was reading in other posts folks may have had issues with the MMS, so I tried MMS (never having tried it before) and discovered that after adding Karhoe's files, it worked without problems...however, I rechecked and it worked fine before adding the files, by that time I had produced v3.2 :D Version 3.2 comes with some additional tweaks and benefits and so I decided to go ahead and post it, hoping that it will be my last (I've said that before, lol :D ). Anyway, whichever version folks use (whether v3.1 or v3.2--both are posted), they should have no problems with the MMS as long as they configure their data service/connection properly (using the correct info from their cell phone companies).

Thanks again for your input, as usual, very helpful :) !!
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Hmm, confused, well, so with v3.2 is anybody having any problem?

Just FYI, I took the webview.dll from andot's PEE, the html file from Phil's BETA 2 ROM, and the css file was modified from your ROM.

Oh, and MMS was working brillianty for me
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Version 3.2 is posted and should do good. In addition I rechecked v3.1 and had no problems with MMS I just had to make sure the GPRS was activated (I just never use MMS :D ), so I went ahead and kept v3.1 posted. But v3.2 has your files cooked into it plus some additional tweaks...hopefully no one will have problems :) .
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
As for me, I don't have to keep GPRS attached, when there is an incoming MMS, GPRS would kick in, download the message, and detach by itself :)

Alright then, so 3.2 would stay for quite sometime, if anyone have suggestions, lets compile them and release v4 after sometime :)
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
vjgrace, since you're not going to release a new ROM, can I have your permission to continue your work? I have a few fresh ideas that I'd like to implement in your ROM. ;)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
That's a good idea NiTroGenious. I'm sure WM6 would be better with you, vjgrace and other cookers collaborating!:cool:

Once suggestion though;) (in fact to all cookers) please leave 3RD PARTY'S application out of ROM; and any that can be run off SD leave it out too. Even the Games can be omitted since it can be installed on SD.

I'm also hoping to have more Memory than Storage so that I can have multiple application running without being kicked out by the system.

Thanks to all you

FANTASTIC COOKERS

!
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Nitrogenious,

That would be great!! I have spent enough time on this and would be honored if you would continue to add new ideas to it.

Take care and enjoy!!!
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Now that's what I'm talking about! Perfect synergy!

@VJ - Is there some way for you to post a cab file for Reboot in quick list? I have manually added all the other changes, and didn't want to flash a new ROM just to get this last feature. I have not been able to figure out a way of getting all my program shortcuts to reappear after flashing new ROMs and I hate installing the dozen or so programs I use off my SD card.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I have been using PIM Backup (found elsewhere in this forum) to archive folders and restore them after flashing ROM. So far it worked and save me lots of time. I only have to manually tweak some registry which are not in the Settings.

Have a try!

Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Thanks, Jonathan. I've already said that your ROM is exactly what I had intended to release as an english version of my ROM, but I had had neither the time nor the mood (:o) for implementing all of EA's tweaks.

So, I plan to add some more tweaks (eg. hardware key shortcut selection - already done it in my personal ROM ;)) and release two different versions, one at 131dpi and one at 96dpi.

...but, not before Christmas. So, for the moment enjoy vjgrace's ROM.

I think I'll start a new thread soon for posting suggestions/ideas for the "multicooker" edition.

PS. I hope that Phil releases its ROM in the meantime, so I can get a few of his "ideas" for our ROM. ;)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Great Nitro!

Wishing you all you Cooker guys Happy Thanks Giving
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Well... there's no Thanks Giving in Greece, but thanks anyway! :D
[HTC Tornado] illi:
LOL! Neither in Malaysia! LOL!

Maybe Jonathan celebrates… so for Jon;-)
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Well.. I live in the US, so I'll take the greetings from everyone's behalf!! :-)

@illi: Thanks for the pointer! I had a similar discussion with Nitro when I was trying out his ROM. As far as I know, PIM only backs up contacts, numbers and emails. Not registry settings for installed programs, and shortcuts to them. Also, it doesn't do a good job restoring SMS and MMS. I've been using Sprite Backup with limited success, but have found that I have to reinstall some programs for them to work correctly.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Well, since it's Thanksgiving, would I be greedy to ask for a donation? :o You see, my Tornado is my primary phone and installing a new ROM for testing every now and then is quite annoying. And it's already mentioned that there's no complete backup and restore solution. I need about 200€ to buy a secondary Tornado for ROM developing purposes and, being a student, this amount is not currently available. Up to now, only vjgrace was kind enough to make a donation and he is the only one that never had to. Thanks again, Jonathan! :)

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not asking money for ROM cooking. Everything I've done and I'll do is for free! I just want to say that a small amount of 5 to 10 euros, would be greatly appreciated and totally invested in developing a better ROM for our phones. :o

I thank you in advance for any offer.

Regards,

Nick (aka NiTroGen)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello all,

It looks like things are under way for creating a multi-cooker version :) , that sounds great!!!

@bipinsen,

To add reboot to quicklist there are 5 things you need (reboot exe file, about 4 lines of code into HKR, about 6 lines of code into HKLM--2 separate registry entries, the dll file, and finally adding the clsid into the list of quickapp in HKCU), four of them are "do-able" from a cab (the first 4) but the fifth requires actual manual addition of the clsid into the list of quickapp (it needs to be placed in the proper order), so probably not possible without messing things up. I would hate to create a cab and it cause problems for you :( , sorry.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all :) , well to all who celebrate it!!!

@ Nitrogenious,

Here is a link to a "de-humped" Tmobile SDA I am selling on ebay: :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280174586205

Everybody take care!!!
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Too bad that you only ship to US and Canada. :(
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
I could make an exception :D , lol.

EDIT--I don't know what shipping charges would be?? :)
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
;)

Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy a beer on me!

how to ugrade from 'perfect' WM6 Edition

if I have already once upgraded from WM5 to

"[[V6]] Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition"

doing it precisely according to this tutorial:

http://karhoe.byethost33.com/component/option,com_weblinks/task,view/catid,20/id,29/

now what steps exactly should I perform to upgrade to this "WM6 English 5.2.116.18120 Standard v3.2 (FINAL!)"?

please, do not order me to experiment myself as all of us well know how easy is to brick the phone :/
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello ialail,

I am going to tell you 2 ways to do this (pick 1 of the two :) ) and please try not to make it too confusing, it is not very hard...(This is a quick method if you already have Andot's PEE):

1. Turn your phone on connect the usb and wait until an active sync connection is created (like you typically do)...Then run the ROM Update Utility (just make sure your phone has 50% or more battery charge), just follow the directions on the PC screen. Do not disconnect your phone from the usb or launch any program during the update process until you see the screen on the PC with Congratulations and with the FINISH BUTTON.

or

2. When your phone is off, hold down the camera button and at the same time connect your usb cable that is connected to the computer...the phone should go to the bootloader mode (bootloader-the tri-color screen which gives name of phone, IPL and SPL information) and make sure you have 50% or more battery charge, then run the ROM update utility...just follow the directions on the PC screen. Do not disconnect your phone from the usb or launch any program during the update process until you see the screen on the PC with Congratulations and with the FINISH BUTTON.

Okay ialail, it is that easy :).

Thanks for the inquiry and Happy wm6 flashing, I hope you enjoy this version if you end up flashing it.

P.S. I am not responsible if directions are not follow appropriately and you negatively effect your phone :) .
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Well at least PIM Backup restores my short-cuts. Yes, some software need to be re-installed but not too many of them. I dont keep SMS/MMS. As for Contacts, Address Book, Task, E-mail and Calendar, I subscribe a free account with mail2web.com. So no worries there.

I've thrown out Sprite Backup a long time ago when I upgraded to WM5 from WM2003; bad support too.

If only there is a registry backup program; I wished....:cool:

Have a nice day.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
NiTro, et al

I wished I could and I honestly wanted to. But I am a jobless, 54 year old man, living on a pittance pension. I am trying to start a farm, if that works out I promise, not to you alone but to all ROM cookers (whether I install their ROM or not, will get some donation from me. I hope I will live long enough to see my farm make it.

Thanks

p/s sorry to be off topic.
[HTC Tornado] ialail:
but what wbout SPL, radio and BINFS formatting?

So, does it need to update SPL and radio?

Also I would like to ask whether formating BINFS shouldn't be performed - earlier someone here mentioned that without this formatting some MB's of phones's memory would be watsed...

Is it the case?
[HTC Tornado] ialail:
To be honest I did yet another upgrading since Andot's PEE...

I upgraded then from Andot's PEE to the NiTroGenious 5.2.1616.18120

using this simple step you've just mentioned...

Was it ok?

Is this simple step of running the ROM Update Utility also sufficient itself in the case of updating from NiTroGenious 5.2.1616.18120

to this 5.2.116.18120 Standard v3.2 (FINAL!)?

I am worrying if BINFS formatting and radio & SPL updating are also required if someone wants to experience full potential of this new ROM?

Please address this doubt. I'll be very grateful.
[HTC Tornado] mateusz66:
Thx

What can i say... This is the best ROM i have used so far.

Good job!
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I installed and run VSBenchmark which now impact Pictures & Videos. When I click on .jpg and other picture files, pimg.exe wont open. I had to remove the battery and restart. How frustrating:mad: . I dont know why. Probably some files from VSBenchmark was left behind even after uninstall.

Due to this problem, I had no alternative but to flash v3.2;) but without VSBenchmark.

I thought I could wait for NiTroGenious' release.
[HTC Tornado] ialail:
BINFS, SPL and radio...

so, I updated this using just solely the ROM update utility (from NiTroGenious to this v3.2)

and on cold boot I have "available storage: 18.44 MB"

not as promised 19.99 MB :(

Is it because I haven't made BINFS format?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello all,

Thanks for your comments.

@ialail,

I have never performed a binfs format, so I won't be advising on that subject. From the first post you can see that memory is well preserved (only if my said procedure is followed to replicate stats). SPL and radio, if you have flashed and used PEE and Nitros ROM without difficulty that is a good sign. In Nitro's signature he has a link to the latest SPL and radio- just a FYI. I am using the same SPL and radio as his. Yes, the same procedure (post #159) you used to update to Nitro's ROM is the same for here, BTW this ROM is based off of Nitros v5 Greek edition :) .

@maeusz66,

Thanks for your comments.

@illi,

I have never used VSBenchmark, and it sounds like I never will...thanks for the info!! If you end up flashing v3.2 I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks again all. I won't be checking back regularly to answer questions, so if I don't answer a question, I am sorry :( .
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
PLEASE READ THE RED COMMENTS IN THE FIRST POST...I have addressed this a few times...initial cold boot after the setup boot.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] ialail:
excuse me, indeed I haven't done this readings using this technique

so, the SIM- and storage-card are to blame, and the is BINFS format nothing to do?

Thanks a lot for the explanation!
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
AS I HAVE ALREADY STATED I CANNOT ADVISE ON THE FORMAT BINFS...I have never performed it.

Make sure if you check stats you read posts 25 and 39 for reference on technique :) as advised in post#1.

Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Just started thinking about maybe getting headphones...

Is there a working A2DP with this ROM?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Exitao,

This ROM is based off of Nitrogenious's v5 Greek edition, if he had A2DP integrated, then this one does. I have never used bluetooth stereo headphones so I couldn't tell you...if v5 did, then this one does...sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well WM6 have A2DP integrated, it is working, the only concern is the sound quality and some said it would be very laggy
[HTC Tornado] berkcan1:
latest windows mobile version compatible with HP H3900

First off I am sorry if thats not the right thread to ask this question.

I'd be glad if you also tell me which wireless SD card is suitable for my HP3900 as well.

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Well, no one would answer that question as we don't know
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I finally was forced to moved on to v3.2. That was a couple of hours ago. NO REGRETS!!:cool: In fact I didnt face the IE/SMS scrolling problems. If scroll line-by-line instead of link-by-link; the former is my preference. I didnt even need to paste DSF's webview.dll or KarHoe's dlls. It seems to "cure" itself. How glad I am.

Thanks VJGrace. I'm enjoying your new ROM.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Great, good to hear!!

This one has Karhoe's files cooked in (the three files that were in the dllfix.zip that was provided in post #107 by Karhoe-THANKS!!, which included the webview.dll).

Take care and enjoy!!!
