Can the ROM Kitchen be made more user-friendly? If it can then almost everyone of us can cook our own preferred ROM.:p
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
No one is obligated to make a beautiful GUI interface haha, those geeks would prefer CLI more, running batch files and stuff
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Yeah, I wish. That's why I'm still not cooking.

I assume that the arcane-ness of it is what makes it so appealling.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I agree about keeping as much as possible on the SD. I think addition of the top 5 homescreen plugins used at Nectun would be good.

I like HTC Home. It seems that "my people" is broken, and it broke my contacts. A look at the Elf forums seems to indicate that it's not just this port either. So it would be good to look at other iterations of it before a version is included in a ROM. A nice, yet broken, homescreen is not so good.

That FreeStylewm looks nice, how have your results been with it?
[HTC Tornado] PeacefulWarrior:
*tornado powercontrol instead of omapclock (it still contains the prog omapclock). You can edit registry to have it automatic switch between example 270mhz and 180mhz based on cpu load. Can also use it to turn onoff backlight.

*dont include rightmenu, celetask, clock on top, smarttoolkit does their job

*tcpmp

*stopwatch8

*MyMobiler
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I suggest that all the images are to be the original ones, not optimized
[HTC Tornado] illi:
lost PIM "at a glance" and memory 'hogger'

have it uninstalled! i still love my own simple homescreen… ha ha
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I suggest a button is added to the quicklist to toggle backlight low or normal
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Customisable quicklist would be nice.

If no BT plugin, then a BT option on the QL. Would be cool.

No point to a "Lock" choice when long hold of "end call" works faster than fumbling for an inset button.
[HTC Tornado] sonicir:
I'm just wondering. Has Sharks new ROM already surfaced ?
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Tweaks

I upgraded from WM 2003 (O2 xphone) to WM5 HTC Tornado (aka Dopod 577W) in Jun 2006. Since then (and at every new cooked ROM that I flashed, I moved the following to SD Card. Contrary to many advises I have never had any SD Card failure so far. I am still using the same SD Card which is as old as my Tornado. However I ensure backups quite frequently.

These are the items that I move to SD Card

. all emails to \Storage Card\Inbox and \Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments

. \Application Data\Volatile to \Storage Card\Application Data\Volatile

. MMS files ie \My Documents\UAContents including its sub-directories to \Storage Card\My Documents\UAContents and its sub-directories.

. \Windows\Profile\Guest\ and its sub-directories to \Storage Card\Pocket IE\ and its sub-directories.

I wished I could also move \Windows\Favorites to \Storage Card\Windows\Favorites but could not find the registry.

I maintain 6 email accounts and it is a pain to setup the accounts again every time I flashed a new cooked ROM. (Is there a way or which are the registry that I need to backup so that I can reinstall them later. Or could you come up with a cab file to accomplished this crazy work of mind.)

I always do housekeeping on my files and registry.

So, these are my wish list....

Thank you.
[HTC Tornado] princepavs:
HI nitro Jst love ur Rom till now plz do add Modem Link to ur new ROM.. Cos i'm Missing it long since WM5... or can u make a CAB file of it to be added later as Optional use...???
[HTC Tornado] ianmills:
On my T-Mobile SDA rom, holding down the * key (or was it the # key???) Would automatically turn on the silent (or was it vibrate??) profile on the phone. Holding down the same button again would return the phone to normal mode.

I found this shortcut very useful. It would be great if you could add it :)
[HTC Tornado] Over Achiever:
I think it already works by holding down the end call key =)
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
That locks the phone. I agree with the original poster on the shortcut. Holding down # would toggle between Normal, and the last selected mode (be it Silent or Vibrate).
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I remember this, and it's a pretty standard feature for phones in general.

How was this handled in WM5 and how did it get lost?
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
deleting existing exchange settings...

Probably there is not easy place in the UI to put it, but Microsoft really should have allowed the user to delete the exchange server account without linking to a PC. I ended up doing a hard reset on a device today for that reason.
[HTC Tornado] Gomer Pyle:
it is possible - in Activesync select Menu-Options, select Microsoft Exchange and use Menu-Delete :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
yeap, handy.

I don't think it's a good idea. You should release them separately. Because, if you flash a OS only ROM , even if the flash process is interrupted the phone will still be able to be fixed with a reflash, while a SPL flash is critical.
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
I must have missed this. I totally agree! The user should CHOOSE to potentially brick their phone! :rolleyes:

An error in a ROM only update is less severe because as DSF points out, you can always go back to a working ROM.
[HTC Tornado] Shiryu:
Two new suggestions:

1. Update PIM Backup. There is 2.7 version released.

2. Could you add ability to set order of icons in Start Menu through Settings menu? Now we need to dig in registry settings :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
OK. The ROM cooking procedure is going very well. I had to reimplement from scratch all of vjgrace's improvements, because I use a different kitchen for my cooking (PKGTool and BuildOS instead of direct .hv file editing). I'm also working on updating the OS version using a Shadow ROM dump (see the attached picture - it's build v18165.0.5.0).

The new ROM will be ready and released before the end of the month. Sorry again for the delay.

PS1. You can regularly check the first post to keep an eye on the cooking. ;)

PS2. The internal storage is not optimized yet. It won't be 18.59MB as it is shown on the attached picture.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
@NiTro

I would appreciate if this can be included in your ROM because it will not install to SD Card. This software improves the sound quality and makes it louder.

http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-srs-wow-xt.html

Thanks very much.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I installed this software a couple of hours ago and I'm very impressed. I had already decided to include it before seeing your post. ;)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
A BIG THANK YOU!
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
Wow, nice! Maybe you will port other useful stuffs from Shadow :D (if you found something..)

I think you should NOT include this..Leave the default sound drivers. With SRS ON the CPU load is higher (you need to overclock the CPU for decent multitasking operation). And with SRS Off the sound is poorer than the original sound driver..
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
rSAP, Microsoft and CES

I was told from a Microsoft employee at CES that the rSAP module as installed on my cooked WM6 SP5 should work. I will see if I can test it again.
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
What issues?

I think you should not include all those apps. For example: Schedy Mobile, it's not just big but also loads slow in memory (in comparison with Oxios Alarms). Also, BaseHueExpress can go to Storage Card.

You can include HTC Streaming Media instead those apps.. Or maybe other useful application(s).
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Not many ppl uses HTC Streaming Media, its ridiculous that youtube mobile doesnt allow all videos to be streamed
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I will not include all those applications. This list is just a suggestion. Atm only 1-7 and 9 are included, leaving a little more of 19MB free internal space.

@DSF:

I tried removing the "w3" from the ringtone scripts and the sound settings page could not be loaded. I don't know why, but I'll try again after I finish with the other registry tweaks.

Btw, SRS WOW XT doesn't seem to slow down my phone. And the sound has been dramatically improved!!!
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@NiTroGenious, i've installed that WOW SRT XT thing, but it says the driver is not installed when i try to open it. How do i set that thing up ? :o
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Try installing the latest version: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1792793&postcount=9

If the problem persists, please refer to the appropriate discussion thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=356589
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
Now it works! thanks! :D
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
Well, I've edited only the Normal profile . You can check the attached file if you want.

I've set it read only, because if you edit the profile it turns out to default '3 seconds delay'.

And SRS WOW XT takes some more CPU, about 5-10% more, you can check it yourself with Mobile TaskManager
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
****!!!! When everything seemed to be ready and working, suddenly a major bug appeared out of nowhere; many of the original settings depending on tpcutil.dll do not work anymore; Sounds and Add new connection (Dial-up, Wifi, GPRS, VPN) are all out of order!!! :confused:

And I haven't touch anything but provxml and cpl.xml files! I have even restored the original ones and the problem is still there. F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!! :mad:

Restarting from scratch..... :(
[HTC Tornado] juan3211:
What do you mean ?

What do you mean, then ?

Do you mean that it's not to be a new version until February ? What a pity !!!!!
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I mean I'm gonna start over, taking backups on every step and hoping that it works!

Unfortunately, if I can't make it till the end of the month, there will be no new version at all!
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Hey Nitro... Don't kill yourself dude. If these are your last few days before leaving for the military, then don't burn every hour working on a custom ROM. I for one think that you need to spend as much time with your friends and family. You're probably not going to be doing anything dangerous, but these are your last few days as a free-wheeling civilian. Enjoy them!
[HTC Tornado] giangi72:
I agree.

If you finish your new ROM I will be very appy.

But only in your free time.

Enjoy these days.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Thank you, guys, but I have promised you a new ROM and I always keep my promises. ;)
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
i think you dont ´need if you dont can you musst spend the time right have a litle funn and dont push your self into this

sorry for my bad english
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Promises are meant to be broken:D. So, don't kill yourself on this. We understand your concern and I personally appreciate your commitment; I think we all do! My friendly advise to you is GO! {NOW!} spend time with your family and friends whatever little time you have for now. It will be a long while before you can be with your close ones again. So GO! now and enjoy.

With people like you there won't be any war in this world. I wish you all the best and may your military service make you a better person (which you already are).

We will be missing you. So, we "see" you in 2 years from now?

GOOD LUCK!

Take care

Sincerely

illi
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Thank you, guys. I really appreciate your concern and good advice. Don't worry, I have a lot of time for my friends and family. And I also choose to I dedicate some time to my friends in this forum. :D I'll have only a 9-month military service. And I will be able to see my family, friends and the other loved ones ;) in the meantime. :)

And to stay ontopic: I've found a backup I've made last week. It would be easier to start working again from this point. :)
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
So if you are using the Shadow ROM, then SDHC should work on this, right?
[HTC Tornado] ascorpion:
i've got an idea! :D Make rom like this one (vox rom)

Whole thread here
[HTC Tornado] maymaymay:
YES !! Nice one :)

But i'm afraid @NiTroGenious have no time for that.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I used the Shadow ROM to upgrade the OS components, not the drivers. But I'm waiting for Sefy to try a new SDHC cab.

I have to redo the OS upgrade, because I started my cooking from scratch. I also have trouble importing the XIP from Shadow, so for the moment only the build version is updated, not the core. (I have a problem importing the new nk.exe)

@ascorpion: To be honest, I don't like this theme. :rolleyes:

@maymaymay: I still have some time for cooking. ;)
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
Sorry, it's a no go, it didn't detect the SDHC card (it's a working card, took it out of my Canon A550 camera) but the good news, it didn't kill the regular card :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Hehe.. I actually like it. Warm colors, and glossy look. Nothing even close to something like this in the stock ROMS.

But once the cook has left, the dish will get cold. ;)

Have you thought about how support will work (if any). I mean every ROM has little bugs that need to be squashed. Unless you do the miraculous of producing a perfect ROM at first release, how will reports of bugs be handled? Is there anyone around here whom you can hand over your kitchen and recipe who would be able to deal with the stuff that comes in?
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
The ROM is almost ready. All I need to do is make some minor changes to the Actions at the Hardware Keys menu. And thanks to GnatGoSplat, we now have the new OS v5.2.1711 (build 18165.0.5.0). :D
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Congrats NiTroGeniuos. Cant wait to flash...:cool:
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
The feature we all were looking forward to is realized; Voice Dialing over bluetooth headset is finally working!!!! :D
[HTC Tornado] sonus:
Very happy about that. On the bluetooth front. A2DP isn't set to Stereo in VJ's rom. Here are the A2DP settings I use that give really good results w/o skipping.

I set [HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings]

BitPool to 40 (Decimal)

MinBitPool to 33 (Decimal)

USEJointStereo to 0 (Decimal)

Don't know if you want to make this a Control Panel tweak but here are other settings>>>

For BitPool:

Microsoft suggests the following bitpool values for optimal buffer sizes.

30 - Low audio quality

40 - Medium audio quality

48 - High audio quality

58 - Excellent audio quality
[HTC Tornado] sonus:
JAVA

Ever since making the switch to WM6, I lost Tao's Midilet Manager. I found Esmertec JBed on here which works excellently. In fact it works even better than Midilet Manager, at least with Opera Mini as that's all I've tested it with. It displays Opera Mini in full screen and is really fast.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=53865&d=1192121898

At the same time, I'm not too concerned about including this as who know's if they'll release a new version...
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
This is a great tweak. I'll add it to the Control Panel right away. Btw, there is no MinBitPool setting, but MinSupportedBitPool, as well as MaxSupportedBitPool. You can see all settings in bta2dp.dll (unicode view mode); there's also SuspendDelay, EnableAutoConnect and SampleRate).
[HTC Tornado] sonus:
Ahh, sounds great (no need to change the DLLs from VJs, the sound quality is excellent)! I'm very happy to help. BTW, if possible, it would be very cool if that tweak could automatically turn bluetooth off and on after making the registry change so as to implement the changes immediately.

Also, in VJ's ROM both the "lock" in the Tornado's Quicklist and the "lock" accessed by pressing the hang-up button are the password pin lock. While this makes my Tornado very secure, maybe a tweak that allows us to set them for either the asterisk lock or the password pin lock would be very helpful.

And lastly, Gregory's HTC Home N is a great OEM inclusion and since it needs to be installed into main memory should be considered for the ROM. If people think it makes their Tornado sluggish (which it really doesn't if installed cleanly and into main memory), they could always just switch to one of the other included homescreens.

If you have space available, it would be great to include T9 additional language packs as those as far as I know need to be installed to main memory. I personally would really appreciate French. This would also solve the following>>>>I don't know if this is a problem with the way install was implemented in my cab, but installing new T9s doesn't add to my options list, instead it just replaces my english T9...not cool. The ability to switch between more than one T9 like on the official AKU 2 would be very helpful.

And finally, if you still need to use up space, MS has some really cool ringtones available for free on their site.

Let me know if you need links to either Gregory's newer HTC home or the MS ringtones.
[HTC Tornado] Profy_X:
you can put the driver for the display so that the animation homescreens can work on it..:D
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
hes right thats would be nice =D
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
No, I think I'll leave the display without a driver!!!! :rolleyes:

What the hell are you talking about, dude? Where do you buy your smartphone manuals from? Please read the whole thread carefully (not to mention the whole Tornado section) before posting. :mad:

Sorry, but this kind of suggestions make you look really stupid!!! ;)

Nitrogenious-can't wait to flash with this ROM, it's looking very promising!
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
The new ROM is ready! I will call it "WM6 Platinum Edition". It will be released in a couple of days, right after I finish with my beta testing.

Here's a screenshot of the available storage/RAM (the included apps are listed at the first post) and the ugly IMO startup logo (shown after the animation). Anyone willing to make a better one? :p

Since you will be away, hopefully vjgrace or someone else can provide support.

How about WM6.1?

Take care Nitro. We'll miss you.

new look

Hy i propose using 96 dpi fonts for this release

http://forum.wce.by/viewtopic.php?t=7899&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

il looks better and you can see more info on screen

also you can boost the speed ading tornado power control

-idle 140 mhz

-backlight off 140 mhz

-on 240 mhz

with these settings installed on 3.7 rom my 2 years old tornado is very reponsive and the battery drains in 3 days

What do you think ?

BR
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I'm aware of the 96dpi hack. In fact I was planning on releasing 2 versions of my ROM; 96dpi and 131dpi. Unfortunately I have no time for that at the moment. Maybe I'll do that in the future...

Tornado Power Control is a great tool, but it consumes some hundreds of kilobytes of the internal storage space. You can always install it on your SD card. ;)

Anyway, it's too late now for new suggestions. The ROM is about to be released!!!
[HTC Tornado] jerpelea:
ok

let me know if i can help for implementing the 96 dpi hack

do you know how to get rid of the numbering in list view 2k3 style ?

i know only how to change numbers to letters

Thanks

BR
[HTC Tornado] sonus:
The numbering is great, I def. wouldn't want it to go. I use it all the time for navigation, its practically a neccessity esp. when you consider the bugginess of our joysticks.

[YotaPhone] fromwithin:
I had an idea to do a time tracking program using the back screen, so thought I'd knock it up and see how it is. But no, not so simple.

For background, I've actually released a few games on Android, but they were a few years ago and were all in C++. They only used Java to open a GL context and connect to input and audio. The build system was a custom one and I didn't go near Eclipse.

So I downloaded Android Studio, made a copy of the yp_hello project and got it all building and running. Except that it crashes on startup every time.

This:

setBSContentView(R.layout.bs_activity_main);

is immediately followed by this:

mTransferredText = (TextView) (findViewById(R.id.bs_sub_text));

But it crashes here with java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.reflect.ArtMethod cannot be cast to android.widget.TextView

However, it doesn't crash if I put in a breakpoint in and run it.

Without the breakpoint, a Log print shows that findViewById returns an java.lang.reflect.ArtMethod object.

With a breakpoint anywhere in the code (even after the crashing line), the same Log print show that findViewById returns an android.view.TextView object. Once the breakpoint has been hit, I can continue the program and it all works fine on the phone.

Can anybody help with getting this working? It's just a yp_hello sample that comes with the Yotaphone SDK, made to run in the latest Android Studio with the latest SDK.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
Hey XDA Members!!

My phone has been dying on me a lot lately and it seems its finally time to switch to a new one that will be a true upgrade over the beloved M8.

And I need your help to decide on one..

I Consider these aspects when buying a new phone:

* should be less than 35k..

* should have good amount of custom development support from XDA community in terms of ROM, etc.. (Priority)

* general things like performance > battery > camera (in the order listed)

My first choice is OP 3. Your choices now..

Thankx a lot guys.. ??
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
HTC 10 is the most logical choice

I had the m7 m8 and m9 and actually went to the Note 5 and have no regrets
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalangioides:
Yes, HTC 10 would be the best choice.

I also thought about LG V10 - it seems pretty good overall, especially it;s DAC, but the not unlockable bootloader, lack of development and the not-so-good Snapdragon 808 are doing a good job destroying my interest in this phone.

There's also ZTE Axon 7. It's specs look very nice and it has stereo speakers, but apparently it has some issues with signal strength and other things.
