Well that sounds like a good theory. My question is a simple one though - I have a T-Mo SDA and I flashed it to this ROM. I installed the appropriate files to adjust for the SP5m button fixes etc, but the one thing that I still notice is that when actually using Windows Media Player, while I can "call up" the player from any screen by use of the music buttons, while the player is functioning they do not command PAUSE, FAST, SKIP and BACK as they should. What am I missing out to correct this problem?
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@foxuniform, go to WMP's options (press menu) and then you will find "Buttons" and you can set up which button to do what you want ;)
[HTC Tornado] foxuniform:
Thanks dude. I thought it was something to do with the new ROM. Seems to be working decently. My humblest thank you. While I am passing through I just want to say that you guys on here are TRULY AMAZING. I will be making donations for the work you have done. You have made so many users happy, including myself. Keep up the good work!

@vjgrace

How different is your ROM from EA's?

I'm still using EA's. My PC's so unstable recently that I'm afraid to flash. I'm finding that EA's ROM has a problem with some audio codecs (I'm presuming they must be VBR or ABR files), and plays some WMA and MP3 at the wrong speed.

Have there been any problems reported on this, or are you using a different WMP/codec set than EA?

On a plus note (A2DP), I've tried a Sonorix C3 Bluetooth stereo headset/handsfree unit and it seems to be working well.

So far stereo audio, remote control of audio playback, call display and handsfree seem to be working well.

I think I might need to tweak the BT gain settings as it's not terrribly loud, and I need terribly loud (frankly, full volume with the headset and handset it is equivalent to only about 35% volume setting on my iPod).
[HTC Tornado] r0c0:
This is a very nice rom but i cannot pair my logitech wireless bluetooth headphone, any solution for the ´no btaudioprofile problem´ ?
[HTC Tornado] afool622:
Thanks

Thanks for the awesome ROM. Only thing is I still get that wireless notification being on. I tried toggling the wifi, but it still comes up. I'm not too sure what is a quicklist menu, but I toggled the wifi on/off in the comm manager. If someone can show me where the quicklist menu is, that would be great. BTW happy holidays. :)
[HTC Tornado] Motormuisje:
Will this rom version work on my dutch Qtek 8300 ?? And if so, what else do in need to get it working ???
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Yes, we have the same phone.

You will need to follow Karhoe's tutorial, either linked in the first post of this thread, or in Karhoe's signature (he has many posts in this thread).

You will also need the SP5m Button Fix.cab from the initial download post to make your round buttons above the numeric keypad work.

Additionally, you may have to install anyon non-English language support files on your own.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
But if you knew how hard it is to implement these tweaks in Settings, then you'd probably advise everyone to use the Registry Editor. :p
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
You need to disable the "button actions" at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keymaps.

The "button actions" will run whether a link file is present or not. For example if you need to use a custom Long_VolDown.lnk, then you must disable the Volume Down action (195).

Key codes:
195 - Volume Down
196 - Power button
198 - End Button
233 - Camera Button
234 - Comm Manager

Action codes:
1 = launch Voice Tag
2 = launch Quickapp
3 = keypad-lock
4 = fast keypad-lock
5 = launch Camera
0 = do nothing

Default [I]HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keymaps [/I]values:
"196"=dword:2 ; Launches Quick access menu
"198"=dword:3 ; Keylocks device when user is on Home screen
"195"=dword:1 ; Launches voice tag recognition
"233"=dword:5 ; Launches camera application

So, just set "195"="0" to disable Voice Tag Recognition and run only MultiFlashLight (aka LongVol_Down.lnk).

PS. Too many tutorials for one day! I think I'll take an one-week vacation! :)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
@Nitrogenious,

Thanks for all your advise and tutorials...I will definitely study up on the tweaks and most likely end up advising all just to use registry editor. Thanks again for everything and take a vacation.(ha, ha!):)

@Shiryu,

Nitrogenious is taking care of all of us, he has answered your question and taken care of a couple of my questions. Thanks for your inquiry.

UI Tweaks

I followed your communication with Nitro and undertand the effort Anyway will flash your ROM later today to compare with others.

FYI I have flashed all cooked ROMs just to find out the one that fit my liking/requirements. The problem is reinstalling software and having to tweak the registry after flashing.

Just installed this one: Build without bbreaker, solitaire, fexplorer, & PIM

Noticed boot up is much slower than EA's. Storage: 19.23 Memory: 28.52

Then I installed HTC Splash Screen and th Storage: 19.24 Memory: 27.72

I also noticed the UI Tweaks are in the Settings similar to EA's.

Setings->SMS Reciept Fix Settings was denied with: Error Thje settings could not be opened.

thanks
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Thanks for your input illi.

Good to hear EA has faster bootup. When I checked storage I let it run through setup stage process then soft reset, as soon as it goes to homescreen, held long home down to go to celetask, then right soft press, 3 press, 5 press to check storage...did this quickly to avoid cache buildup to check memory stats. Thanks for relaying about the SMS receipt fix error!!

I haven't flashed EA's but it sounds like a good ROM.

Anyway, thanks again for your input!!
[HTC Tornado] illi:
You are welcome. I hope this will help you improve. Can I expect V2?:)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello illi,

Maybe (about v2), I don't really want to devote alot of time to this, I just wanted to produce one that would meet my needs, then provide it to the forum because this place has helped me out so much. Thanks again for your input it is tremendously helpful.

The SMS error is probably due to modification of rgu files(for english language)...in order to modify the registry successfully I had to modify the rgu files (mainly greek registry entries) to create valid hv files without receiving error. The settings value for SMS fix in Nitrogenious v5 works fine so probably due to these changes...I am not sure if there will be a fix, I will post it if there is...but I can at least post that there is an error so people are aware...thanks so much!!
[HTC Tornado] david1978jp:
My phone screen stays on after flashed. Is it only mine, or, anyone else?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello there,

It takes a little bit to get to homescreen after initial flashing but should be fine and go off. Has it ever done this? Did you super cid before flashing?

I have flashed mine several times for testing and never have had a problem.

If I find more people have this problem I will look into it.
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
this happens when something is wrong in the registry. check if the registry path exist and the keys/value are present in registry (according to cpl xml file)
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello DSF,

Thanks for your suggestions...v2 fixes this error.

Thanks again!!

Inbox to \Storage Card

Hi vjgrace

I am in the process of flashing this ROM. Just wondering whether you included Inbox tweak to move mails to the \Storage Card. Currently, after every flash I had to manually edit the registry by hand. Ohhhh.. how tedious it was..

thank you
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Moving Inbox to Storage Card is bad for your SD. And also consider that the SD card is ...optional, so installing a ROM with a "tweaked" mail storage path on a Tornado with no memory card installed will lead to an error. ;)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Thanks for the advice. I am aware of the impact. However my SD is always installed.

Thanks Nitro
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Yes, you do have an always installed SD, but some people don't have an SD installed at all. That's why I have not implemented this tweak in my ROMs and I am against its implementation. :)
[HTC Tornado] Shiryu:
Thanks a lot, NiTro :) It's realy useful tip :)
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Always at your service. :)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Hi vjgrace

I flashed your ROM but the storage and memory is less than what you claimed.

Some UI tweaks (as compared to EA's ROM) are missing. I also find it irritating how the IE scrolls; page by page instead of line by line when using the joy stick.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello illi,

Thanks for your input. I have a technique to checking storage which gives the best reading (I think) using Celetask (no sim card and no storage card, and follow post #25) and you should get a similar reading, I hope. If not, I am sorry, I try to post the most accurate reading possible...I flashed EA's and his available storage was great, in the high 19 mb's. Yes some UI tweaks are missing from EA's (those that didn't have their own separate title in the settings menu...I just didn't take the time to go through each of EA's settings headings and find which tweaks were there and which weren't). The big one I find useful is the commanager tweak, the others wouldn't benefit my own use too much.

About IE scrolling, for me it scrolls link by link not page by page, which is another preference I have, so it should be doing the same for you, you may not be on a page that has links so it goes to the next page (just a guess:confused: ).

Take care and thanks again for your input...This will probably by my last build/update, I apologize, but these builds were just to give back to this forum and give folks another option to use:) . I just don't want to spend more time on creating more other than tweaking for my own use, if you know what I mean.

Thanks again.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU!!

Take care
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
If you use the ROM in my guide which is the 3.4 from VJgrace, then it has a settings where you can tweak all the hardware shortcut keys without installing the cabs. It's in the settings.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I'm using the ROM that this ROM is based on, and I find that I have to toggle WiFi off

from the same place

I toggle it on.

There are 4 places to toggle WiFi from

:

Quicklist - this is the list that comes up when you give a short press on the power button.

CommManager - This is the single button by the volume buttons.

Control Panel/Communications - Press Start > Settings > Communications.

Wireless Homescreen Plugin - there is a wifi plugin available natively in some homescreens, but can be added into the XML of most homescreens.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
So this applet can add shortcuts for the media buttons? Does it know if the phone is noble or tempo, or does it just make the buttons leaving non-media phone people wondering what that setting was for?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
If I search the entire forums for "no btaudioprofile" I find no results.

Please explain your actions that result in this error and describe the exact error message.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Basically the shortcut buttons are saved as AP1 and AP2 for noble and AP1, AP2, AP3, and AP4 for tempo, so if you are using noble, just configure AP1 and AP2

If tempo, then configure AP3 and AP4 as well.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Yes, but the app or configuration script, it doesn't know if you have a tempo or noble, does it? (and if it does, well, how does it?). So if I'm using a Noble and configure the AP3&4 shortcut/parameters, it will just create useless shortcuts in my Windows directory, no?

Not a complaint or criticism, I'm just curious what it does and how it does it...

Need help - Unstable ROM

Hope u had a nice X'mas.

Looking forward to ur help on this:

I own XDA II and at present running on WM3, ve already tried llebasha [WM5] Rom but had issues 4 not having found Sim Toolkit and memory probs [frequently received msgs like"you're running low on memory and need to free space"]. It would b a gr8 help if you could probably suggest me any stable Rom that i can flash on my XDA II, badly want to upgrade. Would love if ll ve WM6 on my XDA, ve red a lot about it.

Thnx in advance.

Think you are not in a right forum.

You are to visit this one http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243
[HTC Tornado] Motormuisje:
I'll give it a try then today :)

I already downloaded all of the needed files and wil be uploading Build_5.2.1616.18120______v3.4.zip on the phone.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
It doesnt matter whether its Noble or Tempo, just as long as the shortcuts are there, it will be mapped to the hardware keys. It doesn't know, so if you configure AP3 and AP4 for Noble, (by default its already configured) it will stay in /windows, but it serve no purpose
[HTC Tornado] Motormuisje:
OK :)

I just updated my 8300 with succes with of course many thanks to Kar Hoe's website, also many thanks to the man who made the whole firmware available. And thanks to my girlfriend, believing i me, not crashing our phone :P :P

I did see the voip option and i will be playing with that function for now (was always missing that in the WM5 software.

Can we get this new version uploaded to somewhere else other then rapidshare?
[HTC Tornado] Motormuisje:
Why would you want that ? Iám able to put it on my private webserver, but rapidshare worked great didn't it ?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Than, not then. One denotes comparison and the other timing or order.

What is your problem with rapidshare? People don't want to go to any effort if they don't know why.

I understand that for people behind certain large routers or small proxies can have a problem with the IP not being accepted by rapidshare.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
That's what I was guessing. I was hoping to be surprised by something more sophisticated. Not that I'm not immensely pleased with the ROM working straight-away from the flash; that's a very good thing.
[HTC Tornado] pyrorob:
search in contacts

OK, so i've got this problem that just popped up.. when i try to search in my contacts say for "betsy" normaly you would enter 23879, and you would get "betsy" right? well for some reason my phone stopped doing that.. u would enter the numbers but it will 1. only recognize that the 1 key has letters assigned to it (even thou there isnt supposed to be?) and 2. if i try to press any number but 1 in the contacts, it wont let me put in a second digit..

so far im stumped. i haven't changed any registry keys and haven't installed any programs since it was working right. I'm not looking forward to do a full reinstall of the rom and apps but is that my only option? any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Tornado] maxima00se:
The reason I asked was because rapidshare is blocked at my work and didn't have access to the files.....other then that, I have no problem with it :mad:

Are you sure this is the ROM you've installed?

Just to check a hunch, what happens if you try to write a text message?
[HTC Tornado] McStarr:
Is there the weather forcast like HTC TOUCH?
[HTC Tornado] pyrorob:
I'm pretty damn sure it was this one seeing how i installed it myself...

and what does text messaging have to do with the problem im having? i cant search thru my contacts and the only thing that has to do with texting is when i select the recipient.

but has anyone had any ideas?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
It's a trouble-shooting step. If your t9 is missing (because you used the wrong ROM), or it was corrupted, then you wouldn't be able to search your contacts OR write a text. Taking the step of trying to write a text would have helped determine if t9 was the problem.

Go unbunch your panties. I automatically assume you're not too bright because you probably could have found answers to your problem with well phrased searches, so why wouldn't you be capable of using the wrong ROM?

I won't try to help you again, so I suggest you respond more respectfully to the next person who does try to help your hopeless hide.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
If you look, there's a rework of the HTC Home for download in the Tornado forum.
[HTC Tornado] pyrorob:
*ahem*

Listen mister high and mighty, i was one of the beta testers for jm012a9749's beta wm6 rom, so i do know my way around a rom, and just to point out that t9 has nothing to do with searching in contacts, its an independent feature of the os and in some versions is not even included with the rom. its only invoked when text fields are active. and even when its not included u can still search in the contacts cause that has to do with the key mapping thats built into the os. so my concern is that since my phone has apparently forgotten its key mapping in terms of which letters correspond to which numeric key would anyone think that this is a registry or file corruption problem? and what would the best course of action be...

(oh and btw exitao, i may have been rude, but you make yourself into a big ass by that intelligence comment)

Random shutdowns

Is anyone having the problem of random shutdowns? and when I try to reboot it , it shuts down again in the middle of windows mobile screen. Its after I plug it in to charge a lil thats when it boots through. And when I check the battery status, I have over 50% power. Can someone help please...its annoying!!!

[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Thanks. I was going to do this myself. Just had unexpect extra business going on.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I think that that's a false reading (the 50%). Phones never seem to show proper battery level when you charge for a short time and there's also the possibility that your battery's getting old.

I recently left my WiFi open and found my phone off after a few hours. Couldn't get it to restart, so I plugged it in and it started on the charger.

Oddly there was no low battery alert. I'm still using EA's, which is essentially the iteration of this ROM before vjgrace went to work on it. So there may be a difference, but maybe not.

Anyone else able to mention if they hear a low battery alert?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Anyone who installed Andot's ROM and didn't install t9 right away can tell you you're wrong. No t9 means there's no language file for typing. So with no letters to type with, there's no alpha search available, maybe numeric, but not alpha. I know this from first-hand experience, so

you're wrong

.

If you can dial numbers, then obviously your key mappings are not "forgotten", not at the most basic level. But if you added a foreign language support, or installed a ROM w/o t9 it is possible that no alphabet has been assigned, or it has lost assignement.

Attempting a text message would tell you if you have an alphabet, because if you don't, you wouold just get numbers. Did you even try it yet?

Now, I'm not going to bother explaining myself again. You are (being) obtuse and you won't follow direct instruction, so I can't help you. Furthermore, you're an ass, so I refuse to help you. Good luck boyo.
[HTC Tornado] afool622:
Thanks again Exitao :D I thought it was due to that wifi notification that kept coming up (due to wifi being on). Now I'm thinking like what you're thinking, but its wierd how it started happened when I put WinMo6 on this sucker. I guess its time to try a new battery. Yea anyone else hear the low battery notification?
[HTC Tornado] pyrorob:
you know what? forget it. im just going to do a hard reset and start over. i don't want to have to deal with someones superiority complex just to get some help, ill leave that for the next guy.
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
I've just caught up with this thread, and I have to agree with Exitao: if you asked for help, then you should be gracious with whatever kind of help you get. I mean people take time out to read your question, and then based on their experience, provide some ideas. No one's getting anything out of it. Your attitude could have been a lot better from the beginning.
[HTC Tornado] Gomer Pyle:
I am using this ROM for two days - it look very good, but I miss some features from andots PEE v6 - voice dialing, better bluetooth etc. - but it is real progress comparing with PEE

I have one serious issue - in two day two random restarts - once when I plug it for charge a one during the night and because I use my tornado as primary cell I am reverting back :mad:
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
With a little bit of using the search engine, he could have found some answers. Instead he asks for help before trying to help himself. All he had to do was try a text and answer back. Instead he wants to give attitude.

People who can't try to solve their own problems should accept any help offered, because they're lucky to receive any. I was the only person to try to help him.

People who can't use search engines or listen to directions shouldn't mess with their hardware. Or maybe they should be forced to donate it to us...

:rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Well, if your WiFi notification is coming up, that seems to indicate that your WiFi is on. I think WiFi is pretty power hungry, so you should turn it off except for when you need to use it or when you can plug in.

Try that for a day or two and see how your battery holds up.

The Tornado was a little ahead of its time (that why we're still playing with a smartphone thats 3 years old). For all the features it has, the hardware can't really keep up with it.
