thanks..will make my edit based on that.

and yeah, it (KT) is pretty big but I'm also not used to having such space on my past devices..it's not so big relatively speaking.

Then again, the main reason I want to forgo it is due to the size (maybe still hard to shake my old ways so subconciously, it's hard for me to bear such a large install with adjustments i can make at far less of a sacrifice =p)

Will be flashing your rom tomorrow...will report back any oddities.

Hey Sleuth, the feel of this rom is superb. Right now im in the process of cooking with your rom as a base. How can i remove the video call button and any other traces of video call from this rom?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
kaisers have ram-to-burn resist.... I've adjusted my cooking paradigms accordingly. With turbo mode installed, v1.1 Sleuth is the fastest according to spb benchmark. After playing with the others (CUSTEL's excluded atm), I can say that its noticable. The glyphcache setting is especially noticable; things start slow but speed up quickly. When you load the ROM, you can test this yourself by trying start->settings->system twice
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
This may be an issue for you if you're cooking with the standard Kaiser kitchen which depends on Bepe's package tools. IIRC the phone skins are all part of OEMAPPS & not installed as separate packages. I've not played with them myself... sorry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] princeasi:
oh ok i see, yeah i am using the standard kitchen! Thanks anyway for the rom, the feel of it kinda reminds me of how the treo wm5 felt when shifting thru the menus.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] resist:
My last post was written poorly...I've edited it(just barely) to reflect that.

I wasn't referring to the size or ability of your rom (i've already done my reading /using on the past and current rom choices and feel quite confident in my choice to flash your rom on a more long term basis). I was moreso trying to pay devils advocate on the KT side of things by justifying why one might install it versus why i couldn't bear to keep it on my device.

Believe me, I am very much looking forward to flashing your rom. Although I really should wait until tomorrow, I might not be able to do it. I really do need to get some sleep though so...

Anyway, sorry if it came across as such. Just my lack of sleep hindering my ability to express myself clearly =/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
My communication problem actually. I was taking a friendly jab at the KT app itself. "Managed code" is written in .net languages like C# & depends on the m$ .net compact framework for underlying operations. This can produce a real hog of an app. MFC apps have this same issue. I found this out with my first WM app, SIPChange :o. Now I'm a native coder which means I write in native C++, a strategy which produces very compact apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] princeasi:
Hey sleuth I found a way to remove the video dialer btn, and from the menu as well, but it seems that the kitchen im using is not putting the rom together very well, unless there an error on my behalf. what kitchen are u using or i can give you the files that i used, and can you put a rom together without the video dialer options? Here's what Ive done so far.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
Looks like nice work! :)

Your question really belongs in the Kaiser Kitchen thread tho & I'm more than happy to take it up there. Suffice it to say, imho you have to modify the commands a bit so cooking stops at the point where the dump dir has been created but before tadzio's tools are used to build os.nb. Then you can just add/remove the files you need in the dump directory itself. Disadvantage is that subsequent builds become more complicated due to this intermediate step

...or...

search for your files under \kaiserkitchen & change/delete them in their found locations if not part of an oem package. Make new OEM packages for additions. This way you are putting your stuff in the original framework locations & cooking will progress normally.

My kitchen is quite custom and not for release. It works solely from the dump directory. I have my own "package" format that doesn't depend on dsm or rgu files. I can convert standard oem packages as well as cabs however and use them as templates to add/remove ROM apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] princeasi:
Thanx, but I think I do need to goto the kitchen thread because I did something as simple as using the base rom of the att stock, and reconstructing without any editing to the rom, and it still didnt cook out correctly! But in the meanwhile I was able to create a cab file that will install the dialer for those who want it. Ill be happy to post it, but dont know how to. If you can show me how to post the file on here, Ill share it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] NuShrike:
Something on reboot resets the showsim entry in the registry.

That's why I wrote KaiserSimFix (native C++ btw) to always run on reboot to counter that. It's not just a registry tweak .cab and a much better and less chunky solution than wiping your sim, or KT. Sometime, I'll do it in asm, or make it parse a text file to set a bunch of reg on reboot, but KT already does the latter.

It's probably not as important these days because there's PIMBackup and ActiveSync to Outlook, but there was a time when having PIM info in just ram was a bad thing.

Hey Sleuth, I found a small bug with the Audio Manager, the buttons/background don't show up, all I get is a blue background for everything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
hmmm... working here. Grey background with lighter grey buttons. Are you perhaps referring to the audio manager Home plugin interface?

Ditto.......

This is the best ROM

To all the Flashers :D. This according to me is the Best Kaiser Rom up till date. So u can Flash this blindly, provided u have Hard SPL. Its very Fast, very stable. Its got good Program / Storage memory left also, to install ur choice of softwares. Try it , u wont regret it.

:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Daemos:
No, the home plugin interface works...when I launch the audio manager it self it seems to be missing icons. I'll try fixing it when I get home.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
ASM :eek: I haven't coded in asm since the days of DOS.

You'd probably end up with a 1k program tho. Probably be a nice exercise just to show how bloated even the native stuff is... :)

To Sleuth255 - SMS/MMS in one folder

Dear Sleuth

I´m using your ROM version 1.0 as this one has not the MMS music playing bug.

1 - I don't see any problem in maintain SMS/MMS in one unic folder. I know that some members requested the separation in two folders. As what is important is to have the ROM working properly, perhapas it be a good solution to put in the version 1.1 the SMS/MMS in the same folder, as done in 1.0, because this will solve the bug.

However, if you think it's better to maintain in 1.1 SMS and MMS in two split folders, have you a prevision to have the present MMS bug solved?

2 - In the version 1.0, I'm trying the GPS photo and I was disable to see the GPS data in the photo. May be I don´t know to use this feature in a correct way. Can you please explain how to see the GPS data?

Thanks very much.

Cribeiro
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
The ringtone (sp-midi) playback bug appears to exist in the ArcSoft 4.2.8.1 OEM package as it is present in multiple cooked roms that use it. I can split mms from sms using any of the ArcSoft versions and so have been debating whether or not I should downgrade to 4.0.31.28 to correct it or not. A better fix would be to find a ROM with ArcSoft v4.2.8.1 where sp-midi playback works then reverse out the missing component which could then be in-line fixed to v1.1 Sleuth along with a cab fix for existing users in much the same way as the Modem Link patch was distributed.

I will not go back to combined SMS/MMS because this prevents people from installing threaded SMS upgrades.

The GPS lat/long info doesn't appear in the picture itself, rather it can be found in the exif portion of the picture which typically contains data such as aperture and shutter speed used.

GSFinder

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable/remove GSFinder? I run PhoneAlarm and I wish to restore a backup that is made up of several files in a directory however with GSFinder on it requires me to pick a single file in the directory and not just the directory as a whole (as near as I can tell). Also all the text next to the fields at the top are showing up as boxes and it says dismiss battery at the top.

PS. Can't wait to play with this ROM. Thanks Sleuth!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
GSFinder is an advanced file management tool. You can copy/paste folders if you like to restore all files. You can drag the stylus to highlight multiple files to do the same thing by turning off drag & drop mode in the edit menu. Choose exit from the file menu to save all your current settings as default.

You can also work with hidden files, ROM files, shortcuts and you have the ability to change attributes and rename files/file extensions. You can even set file associations with this tool. Thus the reason it's cooked in.

I've left the standard filemanager there too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sane:
Sleuth, sorry to bother you with this, I am sure you are busy with other stuff too. Did look at how Samsung clock displays the date, can it be changed?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
Yes I did & it appears to be hardcoded to three chars. Not sure why this is yet...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sane:
Surely someone here can solve this. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jorryn:
Thanks Sleuth, I understand what it is for and have used it in the past but it is causing me problems. My software prompts me for the path to where my backup files are at (there are several it needs). When I click on the button to select the folder it opens GSFinder and not the default file explorer. Unfortunatly GSFinder won't let me select just the path, it wants me to pick a single file in the path. Due to this I am not able to restore my backup files that set my configuration in the software. Since you cooked it in I can't find a way to simply remove or turn it off in the settings. I was hoping maybe someone would know of a registry key I could change to either prevent it from launching or preventing it from being the default.

Thanks Sleuth, other than this small hickup I am enjoying your ROM. I have tried several and think I will just stick with the simplicy of this one. I like the fact you haven't tweaked it up except for the few apps you added. Although I do use a couple of these apps they are available as CAB files elsewhere so I wish you would have left them as self installs as well.

Keep up the excellent work and can't wait to see more from you.

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
That's very odd.... Sounds like it's loading gsfinder instead of displaying a file open dialog box. :confused:

edit: (trying to understand). If it launched filemanager instead, what would you do inside filemanager?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jorryn:
Exactly! :( :rolleyes: Unfortunately I can't just copy the files back. One is a proprietary application for the JOB. I just don’t want to have to set everything up in those apps again but if that is what I have to do then I guess I will just have to decide which way to go from here.

Bummin here:p

It would only show me folders. Once I selected the folder I would just hit ok and it would put the full path in the field for the path.. The thing that really agrevates me is the fact that neither app was designed so I could just type the path in or edit it once the field was filled.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
very odd. I don't believe gsfinder sets any file associations for itself by default (in fact, I just verified this) so that can't be it. You have a very strange problem for sure... You can disable gsfinder by copying any file to /windows then renaming it to gsfinder.exe using gsfinder itself. This would overwrite the ROM version with an invalid executable. For obvious reasons, I'm not sure how to get it back to normal though (normally you would delete the file with gsfinder then reset to revert to the rom version)....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jorryn:
How funny, I had the same idea and started trying, unfortunatly got a call from work about a server down just as I started. Must work now anyway. Don't worry about it, I think others as well as myself would prefer you keep your kitchen open and the tasty rom's coming. I will figure something out if that doesn't do the trick.

Thanks Sleuth.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jorryn:
GSFinder I thought!

Ok, I had a chance to check this out some more. When I click on the button to open the file open this is the screen that it comes up with. Any ideas where that is coming from? Once again this is PhoneAlarm that I am trying to do this with (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html). I am not sure what this Dismiss Battery is. When I look at the running apps I see Dismiss Battery as a running application. When I first seen it I just noticed it wasn’t your typical file open so I just thought it was GSFinder. I have been running PhoneAlarm on several roms and for years, I don't think it is causing this:-)

Any thoughts?

Trojan

My question is why does your installer have to install the Maxsearch spyware. I have to turn off my Stopzilla to install all the time. This started since your last cab sleuth 1.0, could you remove that stuff?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] nighttime:
That sounds like a false alarm in your antispyware software, Ive downloaded and installed 1.0 and 1.1, and I havent seen anything like that. None of my software on either one of my computers has detected anything.

Bug reported

Hi Sleuth,

Super fast, Excellent job man. Havent tried turbo mode yet but now i am going 2 do it coz got off 2day :))

I have noticed it hangs for 4-5 secs while scrolling, specially in program folder.

Anyone else found this one?

If i m not wrong, it is coz of touchFlo

I have used Tilt Rom and it has no issue with scrolling.

I m sure U can check Tilt's Rom Coding and correct this bug.

Maybe but it happened twice now. All I know is I have to turn off Stopzilla and when I turn it back on after the install is done it finds files on my computer infected with the Maxsearch virus and I delete them. I will try and google for Maxsearch and see if there is a independent virus detector for the virus and I will try it and let you know.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] panosha:
Sleuth your work is great. Do you think of making a realy clean ROM ? I believe this is absent a lot.:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cjkerr:
Sleuth, sorry one more question...

If I wanted to replace an app that came installed on your ROM (e.g. put a newer version of Windows Live Messenger on), how would i uninstall the old version? Obviously the programs you cook into your ROM don't appear in Remove Programs (why is that by the way?)

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
Look here for more info.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
ummm... maxsearch doesn't infect files; its a browser hijacker that changes your IE homepage/search bars to locations at maxfiles.com. Here's a link that describes this in more detail:

http://www.spywareremove.com/removeMaxSearch.html

Are we talking about different things perhaps?

edit:

I just tried this:

Ran my spyware checker "SpyHunter" with a full scan. It found only the two false "memory.exe" (it thinks they're the Illusion mailer parasite) hits in two old hermes dump directories.

Ran Kaiser v1.1 Sleuth.exe & flashed my Kaiser while SpyHunter's on access engine was running. It spotted the standard rapimanager stuff executing but nothing else

Flash completed, re-ran SpyHunter full scan. It found the same two false hits & nothing else.

I don't know what to tell you punkhawaiian :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
You would need to become a ROM chef :)

My apps can't be removed because they're loaded in ROM. Cab installs create a special directory that tracks the install operations for the remove program app to use when uninstalling.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
I believe austinsync has already done this with the HTC base rom. He pretty much stripped out everything iirc. My thoughts are that "clean roms" are less important fttb to Kaiser because of the large amount of storage/program memory available to this device. I say fttb because I believe that itnf more Kaiser apps that use large amounts of memory will appear in OEM ROMs. When this occurs, I'll start pulling the fluff out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kslakhani:
thanx 4 quik reply

Hi Sleuth,

sorry let me explain the bug properly, its not only scroll prob but actually it hangs for 4-5 secs, no buttons working, reception led blinks perfect that means phone app works ok, but after a while everything works just fine, u don't need 2 restart yr device. it happens hardly so can't say much abt it but I think it only bugs with screen n buttons only, I experienced the same bug with HTC's orig. rom and again I m telling u I used ATT Tilt rom but it has no kind of bug

Thanx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] duttythroy:
I totally agree with you SLEUTH about clean roms with kaiser, I think the hermes was agreat idea because of the amount of program memory that was available and storage.

But with the kaiser we got nearly double the amount of hermes so makes sense and I don't see anymuch difference in the light roms and full roms with kasier apart from lite ones been a bit faster.

Personally I prefer full roms with a decent amount of useful apps included

Hey Sleuth..couple findings to report:

-While in the sms inbox, there is an item missing in the menu. it is the second menu item from the bottom of the list (just above Print via Bluetooth). There is an "(A)" right justified on that line but no preceding text.

-Sad to report this one but I am also getting the long lags / hangs that have been reported in the thread. Initially, the rom was flying...after a while I saw the hang. Then, didn't see it for a while but sure enough, it showed up again eventually. Now it is becoming more and more frequent. Even after a hard reset i was getting them with a higher frequency than when it first started this behavior. Occassionally, it can be much longer than the 4-5 seconds others have mentioned. I've been tryin to notice when it actually happens to try and help pinpoint the cause but it seems a bit sporadic.

Anyway, aside from the annoying hangs, still a nice rom overall.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
The (A) appears to be an MMS configuration menu. Looks like an artifact from the original ROM's combined SMS/MMS application. I'll have to take a look at it.

As far as the hangs go, I'm just not experiencing them and I've been running this ROM longer than anybody with a huge number of third party apps installed.

Does the device just lock up for 4 seconds? Does it occur when you don't have any apps installed? If it locks up does it mean that the digitizer isn't responding? Buttons? All of the above? Is WiFi active? Do you have turbo mode installed? If so did you try disabling it? How much available program memory do you have (low program memory can cause unpredictable behavior). Maybe there's a memory leak in one of your apps that's slowly eating up program memory. I've never seen my available program memory go below 50megs btw.

The only thing I've seen that remotely resembles this is a short time (second or 2) after re-boot when the today screen is displayed and all plugins are active but the start menu is unresponsive. However I've traced this to SPB P+ and it appears to be normal behavior.

The other poster, kslakhani, said this was a trait of the base ROM as well which makes it even more perplexing since I've been running the base or a variant of it since I first got my tilt. However, I'll also say that my Tilt gets rebooted nightly by my backup software so if this is memory leak related then I wouldn't be seeing it.

Why don't you and kslakhani post your installed apps. Maybe there's a common culprit or combination. I don't know, but I need more to go on before I can help :(
