Hello all,

@pegaz,

Only re-assignment to the long keypress of end call...I am unaware of how to modify short press, it would most likely have to be a 3rd party end call emulator...I believe Microsoft has hardcoded the short keypress to end call, making it difficult to change other than an end call emulator. For the long keypress of end call to be re-assigned there would be modification to other keypress functions (those 3 that are limited to the 6 shortcuts) when a different .exe is re-assigned to them. You would have to choose which of the already assigned shortcuts (this is limited to a couple choices without causing to much conflict- camera or quickapp) to change, then change it in the registry (knowing that whenever it is assigned that title in the hardware key tweak, it will have the okclose feature). Confusing for whoever wants to do it (because the title will perform a different function--> "okclose"), but easily possible with a registry tweak.

@illi,

Thanks so much and Seasons Greetings to you and yours!!

@moalesipufos,

Excellent job with the mirroring, thank you!!

Once again, I won't be checking back regularly for questions, so sorry if I don't answer questions.

Enjoy!! :)

Bluetooth Issues

I have read some folks having issues with bluetooth headset devices not being recognized. I have checked the ROM dumps of EA's ROM, Andot's ROM, and Nitro's v5 ROM base (that this ROM is based on) and noticed only one real difference (other than the lack of bluetooth ftp files in Nitro's v5) and it is the file in the below attachment (bthatci.dll). I do not own any bluetooth headset devices, only obex type devices so I cannot check to see if this file is helpful regarding headsets. I have created a cab and posted it for anyone who wants to check and see if it helps with their bluetooth headsets for recognition and thus usage. I don't know if it will work but it is definitely worth a try.

Please post your results if you get a chance to try it, there are no quarantees that it will help. Just run it and soft reset.

Thanks!! :)
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Its like a curse, everytime you release a new ROM, my phone tend to screw up that it requires a hard reset, so I might as well flash your new ROM, and that is what i'm doing now :D
[HTC Tornado] deshwasi:
nevermind.
[HTC Tornado] iky10:
When will the full version be out, these slim versions are good for testing, but i prefer full versions, any idea ?!¬
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
This is the full version. Next one will be by Nitro.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
What is WRONG with this version????
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
There's no definitive full/final version. Well, there could be. That would be the WM5 that the people who sell your handset last released.
[HTC Tornado] iky10:
there nothing wrong with this version, the poster states it himself its a lite version, so i'm jus interested when is the full version comin out
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
It IS a full version (or rather, all of them are). It is "lite" in the sense that there's as little additional software included as necessary, so the rom stays small (or in another word: light) and uses little memory. But it's still the full versions of these roms.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Do you mean "lite" as in "update"? Well, the big capitalised and bolded "FINAL" would indicate that there are no more updates to be expected.
[HTC Tornado] Over Achiever:
Silly question, but there really isn't a way to upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 except backing up the PIM and flashing the ROM?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
These are full ROM flashes. Not updates. The only use of updating I've seen is the update vjgrace uses to give the new splash screen.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Vibrate Toggler

Hello all,

I have looked around to find a good reliable vibrate toggler for WM6 and the Tornado and have been unsuccessful. Thanks to MortScript, I wrote a little script for it to work with this ROM. It is in the below attachment. The size is a little big because it loads MortsScript but it does a great job switching between Vibrate and Normal. Who knows, you may find that MortsScript works great and you write scripts to do various functions...it is a great little program. Working with ViJay's VJBrisk.exe and MortScript even allows to create scripts and them have work in .exe format for more compatibility...pretty cool, not having to rely on Microsoft's Visual Studio.

Anyway, this little script works on macros, so you will see the quick list window before it switches profiles, but it does it pretty quick. It is just very convenient for me to have a quick switch to vibrate, if you know what I mean :D . You can even SpeedDial it if you want to. I will also post it in post#1. :)

@Exitao,

Thanks so much for answering so many questions, it is very appreciated!!

ENJOY!! :)
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
Hey vjgrace, any chance you could post the quicknotes application you had in your older rom versions? I'm kinda missing that one and the version posted elsewhere on these forums doesn't seem to work.

Cheers and happy 2008! :)
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Huh? Where? :confused:

Just happened to be here. I just feel sorry for them that I didn't have your tact.

;)
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Um.. does this require or include any basic MortScript file/application?
[HTC Tornado] dmcaylor:
Corrupted upload?

Has anyone else tried to download from the links moalesipufos posted? I downloaded and combined the files, then ran RUU. However, after I flash, I end up back at the bootloader. I notice that the readme.doc in the zip file is garbled as well.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Is it split using winrar or winzip?

I suggest to download again (to new folder), use the compression app's test function. Then try again.
[HTC Tornado] moalesipufos:
Try now:

[HTC Tornado] Badboy2:

Sorry for my English.

Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] cham1980:
Try it today and work flawlessly, but I cannot install any java application or games.
[HTC Tornado] moalesipufos:
Try this java platform: http://sharemobile.ro/file.php?id=31572
[HTC Tornado] dmcaylor:
Yup. I downloaded to a different computer and it came through fine. Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] afool622:
Hmm I installed the new dll, however I still have issues with bluetooth. When I try to connect to another phone it says that the tornado doesn't have any services or can't retrieve the list of services and the only service I see from the other phone is just serial. Anyone else have issues with bluetooth? I can pair it up with handsfree devices no problem
[HTC Tornado] cham1980:
Wow it works great, thanks you very much for sharing. I really love my SDA now.
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
gprs is not working...

i just installed this rom on my spare-tornado. so far so good...

the one thing which is not working is gprs-connection. if i try to open the ie or connect to my hosted-exchange i get an error, saying 'the remote party has ended this connection'.

i checked everything with my other tornado, gprs-connection settings are exactly the same.

can somebody give me a clue?

thanks.
[HTC Tornado] pegaz:
You probably did not upgrade radio, find the newest radio ugprade and flash just the same way like you've flashed rom. Should be fine...

This is the newest RADIO and SPL http://rapidshare.com/files/66560820/Tornado_GSM.02.61.01_SPL.2.00.0014.rar

[HTC Tornado] r0c0:
Hello,

The dll did not do anything for me either and according to google its for Bleutooth DUN...wich is not supported in WM6 anymore (well im guessing, pls. correct me if i am wrong).

But i can pair my logitech headphones with or without the dll and they work great.

[HTC Tornado] pauloslf:
were can i find the portuguese t9 cab? the link given in Kar Hoe site is down : http://melgurth.ovh.org/ is there any other place were i can find these?

(i'm about starting to flash my qtek 8300...)

Thanks!
[HTC Tornado] pauloslf:
it seems that it does not work form me.. my phone says that the installation of cert.cab was unsuccessful, because it does not have sufficient system permissions... (i did application unlock before and it was successfull)

phone : qtek 8300

please help...
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
was exactly this! thanks for your tipp, mate!
[HTC Tornado] pauloslf:
does this must be done with the phone in the bootloader ?
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
yep, exactly as you would flash the new rom.

- disable usb connection in active sync

- connect phone with ubs

- phone in bootloader

- run ROMUpdateUtility

[HTC Tornado] gr8:

[HTC Tornado] gr8:

hello and happy new year to everybody!

vjgrace I've flashed your latest ROM. I've been using EA's for a while before.

It's good, but:

1. IA File Manager cannot extract files from zip. The one from EA's ROM works OK

2. There are too many items in Settings. You should group them somehow, eg: create one item Tweaks where you can put the other tweaks there as sub-items.

Good work vjgrace and NitroGeN!
[HTC Tornado] ramram:
Hello everyone,

Anyone tried Micro*soft voice command and the PMRecorder with the v3.5 rom?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello all,

I have pulled v3.6 due to concerns with possible battery drainage...new version v3.7 has been posted identical to v3.5 just with re-organization of Settings Menu and 7 new shortcuts in Accessories using system icons.

@DSF,

Just tried extracting zip and I did it without problems. :confused:

ENJOY!! :)
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
I was all excited about saying YES to this release until I looked at the icon set. Hmmm.. sorry about that, but I have to say that they don't look terribly impressive. Seems like 8-bit or less color icons - throws me back to the Windows 3.1 days! I think it's a step back VJ. We should be going towards high-res Vista style icons. So maybe fewer icons, but better looking?
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
@Bipinsen,

Good feedback, thank you. Yes, the icons are definitely not the best quality (about 1-5kb per icon to maintain storage space and maximal icons). To get a good quality icon (high-res Vista style) the size is about the whole size of this .exe :D (just looking at one good icon from www.iconarchive.com the size was about 180kb).

If I was to put good quality icons in this version for the amount of shortcuts (about 42 new shortcuts...settings shortcuts, functions, and bluetooth, reboot, mute, etc) I have placed in, the storage space would be swallowed up.

Thanks for the great feedback, this keeps me from wasting time to post it...THANK YOU!! :)
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
I think there are many nice icons on this page, may be it could be a possibility only to update just the most used icons, eg: all the icons from the start menu.
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
I just checked this out myself. And there's one option if you want to think about that. You're right - if you just download the .ico file, it's about 160-180kB. I did a test. I downloaded the 128x128 .png file, reduced it to 64x64 and then saved it as a .ico file. The resulting file size is 17kB. If I download the 48x48 .png file, the resulting size is 10kB. So if you pick and chose which high-res icons to use, and which original (the one from your collection), the resulting icon set could be pretty attractive. Just some more feedback. Also, qtek's suggestion of using a limited icon set is also something to consider.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Folks,

[HTC Tornado] Shiryu:
Short and on topic: I want it :D
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Hey! A LOT better!! My vote is a YES now!! :D
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Yes. But would this mean a v3.6 or v3.5.1 or v3.5a?

What about a bluetooth toggle?
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
A new feeling with all those new icons, i find them very suitable for your new version vjgrace, it's time to improve not only the functionality our Tornados but only the GUI. You could update our old Comm Mngr too using my files dumped from a HTC s730, of course the visualization it will reduce the list to only 6 entries, see thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=355808

The Comm Mngr is the application for it, why do you wanna implement a very old application designed for the old WM5 to vjgrace's last version? or do you mean another new application to toggle the Bluetooth activity?
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
i would love to have a bluetooth toggle since the battery drains very quick if you leave bluetooth alive all day!

right now i'm using the very old bluetooth toggle application with its very ugly icon, but it still works. it's quicker than opening the comm manager all the time...
[HTC Tornado] ialail:
BINFS format necessary for WM6 previous versions?

Please, specify precisely what have you meant by: "ANY OF THE BELOW VERSIONS"?

Is it also the case when flashing OVER e.g. "Standard v3.3" ??

(I mean: flashing from e.g. v3.3 to v3.6.)

Or was it meant just for the case when flash-ROM of WM5 version is overwritten?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
You should format BINFS before flashing from any rom.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Maybe it's my fault, but I don't like the comm manager. If I start a service from the comm manager, the service will only shut down from the comm manager.

WiFi is controllable from the homescreen with the plugin. It's also controllable from the quicklist. So are profiles. I never use airplane mode.

So the comm manager really on has one use, BT. And I always forget about it.

That, and my current favourite homscreen doesn't display a BT icon (no icon bar at all actually).

So now I should open the comm manager to check my BT status (or start, or anything that get me my icon bar), but the comm manager never actually exits when you hit the exit button. It just sits in the background hogging resources (and I'm sure significantly more than the QL).

It's just that now I've got the A2DP thing going on, I use BT more and I just find it less convenient than it should be. Why would WiFi be more convenient than your handsfree? Other than updating software's info feeds, or maybe VOIP, this smartphone isn't very useful for WiFi (and it's a beast on battery consumption, it can kill a battery in less than 2 hours) and handsfree is a much more basic and commonly used cell-phone feature.

Not to worry. I've already got a plugin for BT, so I won't die if I don't get the QL toggle. I'll figure out how to custimise it later, and then reassign the Comm Manager button to something more useful.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello Exitao,

v3.6 has been pulled due to concerns of battery drainage, v3.7 has 7 shortcuts in Accessories (using system icons) including:

Mute

Reboot

Power Off

Bluetooth Toggle

Bluetooth Discovery

Wireless Manager

Phone Toggle

If you decide to flash it, ENJOY!! :)

Battery drain an issue?

Ok.. I don't really complain about things without having a cause. I just noticed something this morning that I want to find out if others are experiencing it too. Starting at 5a this morning with a 100% battery charge, 5-10 mins of Solitaire, and at 10a my battery is at 71%. 30% battery drain with no calls? What the heck??

For sure I am going to check all my settings, and whatever else I can think of. In the meantime, please post if you've seen something similar.
[HTC Tornado] cham1980:
yes do check your setting cause I used the same rom on my SDA and i have no problem of battery drain. Are you sure you fully charge your phone before installing the rom? you can also try fully charge your phone and then master reset it. Hope you work it out
[HTC Tornado] ialail:
BINFS format necessary when from WM6 previous versions?

Sorry to bother but when I asked the same question approx. 2 months ago vjgrace assured that fromatting BINFS was necessary ONLY if we flashed from WM5!

What has been changed then?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I will flash it. I'm just waiting for my new PC components. Currently my PC is really sick. Up and down like... something that goes up and down really often.

I don't want to try flashing with a PC that could die at any moment...

Sorry I missed those details earlier. You've done so much it's incredible!

The thread is a wee bit unmanageable... but that's not your fault at all. Thanks for being so helpful and patient to everyone, but especially me.

Maybe you need to create a home page/FAQ for your ROM... LOL
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Probably your WiFi is on. Or something else. Or worse, your radio could be having a hard time and just keep searching endlessly for signals...
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Not necessary, but there is much less chance of errors/complications. So you should do it.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:
Hello ialail,

You can see from post #167 here, and post #170 here, that I

never advised

on the "format BINFS" because I never

had

tried it before. Please read as indicated here and make sure your "assurance" is correct...this just reduces the risk of damaging your phone and advising others incorrectly, thanks. :)

Additionally, I have just started to perform the "format BINFS" as indicated here within the last month and have noticed decreased unusual behaviour/conflict as I indicated in post #1. :D

@Exitao,

Thanks for your suggestions and kind words!! You have helped others tremendously in this thread and I am very grateful, it helps when others answer questions if I don't have the time or get the chance to check the forum, so again, thank you!! BTW good luck with your PC. :)

@Bipinsen

Weird :confused:, I haven't noticed any problems with the battery drainage. Hope it clears up.

Anyway, thanks all, ENJOY!!
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
With great regret I have to say that I had to go back to v3.5 today. In just two hours of the phone sitting idle I lost 10% of battery power from 100% this morning. So enjoy the new ROM all you lucky people who are not seeing this problem... :(

sms2go

i have a application called 'sms2go' (http://www.mobile-cc.ch/mccProdukte/mccSMS2Go/tabid/126/Default.aspx) which sends for every sms you get a mail with the sms-data to a defined mail account. so you have all your sms stored very easy in your mailaccount e.g. outlook.

with the original rom on wm6 it runs perfect. with this rom the program does not run. it seems that it's not possible anymore to automatically intercept an sms. why is this disabled?
[HTC Tornado] cham1980:
I sorry to hear that you have a problem with the new rom, I left my phone from 5 to 9 am this morning with fully charged, it all on standby and I didn't lose any power at all still 100%. I don't know what wrong with your phone, it cannot be the rom.
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
Doubt it's got anything to do with this rom. I'm running 3.4 and my phone's been acting just like yours for the past week. What's even worse is that I can have it plugged in, the LED goes green (aka "battery fully loaded") yet when I check it, the accu's at 80% or so. My guess is simply that my (and maybe your) battery is dying. Not much wonder, after 2 years of constant use in my case.

Hello all,

Not good about the battery issues.

Don't know if the added resource file and shortcuts to that file are causing battery drain, but if folks continue to have battery drain, I will pull this v3.6 and replace it with v3.5 and still the tweaks re-organized in the same fashion as v3.6 under "UI Tweaks".

Take care!!
[HTC Tornado] r0c0:
you should do that.
[HTC Tornado] vjgrace:

[HTC Tornado] ialail:
Let's compare our currents!

I have v.3.6. and I haven't noticed any over-drainage too. Let us compare our readings from such programs like:

TornadoPowerControl->Settings->DebugInfo,

or

CeleTask->Menu->Utilities->PowerStatus

(which is more convenient and quicker to evoke as the command line shortcut:

'\Windows\CeleTask.exe 1053')

At that moment, after some interactive operations I have "Avg. Cur.: 152mA"

but I have feeling it used to be much lower...

I will observe this and report here later.

Please show your average currents!
