Very nice rom.

I used the v.0.5a rom and that rom was perfect.

But now I made a rom my self with the "Download Language Updater Kitchen" but now sometimes my Vox hangs.:confused:

Does anyone know what to do?
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
I moved some start menu short cuts into different folders, and now whenever i click on My People from home screen or from the shortcut in the start menu (now in a folder within start menu) it loads up my people but just flashes the list of people then closes right away.

I tried moving a few shortcuts back to where they were but no luck..
[HTC Vox] MoRkusReX:
Dr. Gonzo

Again, I love it. No problems so far.

Only one thing Keeps bugging me. Right to Left language support.

How can I add Hebrew support? I only need it to read SMS messages and they want 150$ for it..frustrating. :mad:

Even if I the letters would be backwards.. I don't care as long as I can figure out whats written.

Can you think of any way to do that Dr.? :confused:
[HTC Vox] Barzi1991:
Does someone know a application so my right softkey is connected to "Messaging"? It's conected with "Contacts" but i never use that button, because I search my contacts by name(typing numbers will give me my contacts).

I already tried "Right menu", but it gets a menu on the right button. I don't want that. Only Messaging?

Is there an appliciation for? Or can I edit it by my self(register or something)? Thanks!
[HTC Vox] elixxir:
Menu UNRESPONSIVE....

The rom's good.., but the menu is kinda highly unresponsive....

I don't know why...

It sort of freezes when I'm navigating through the menu...

Any suggestions.... :(
[HTC Vox] elixxir:
suggestion...

Could the HTC 3D Menu application be tweaked to suit this ROM somehow...

I tried using it, but the other icons won't show up now...

Still trying to get over it...

Hey Dr Gonzo, you could include it in your ROM !!!!

That might be pretty cool... if it works.
[HTC Vox] elixxir:
HTC 3D Menu

Hey, use HTC 3D Menu.

If all shortcuts don't show up...,

>>> I noticed that a few icons are in the main menu as well as in the Applications folder in the 3d Menu, so just try copying all the contents of the Windows/Start Menu folder to your PC. Delete all the original files in the Start Menu folder. Then, move back the ones on your PC back to the Start Menu folder.

It somehow helps the icons to show up in the Applications folder. So try this first. If it doesnt work..., try this,

Copy the contents of Windows/Start Menu unto your PC, move the shortcuts around a bit, then copy it back to your phone, replacing the original shortcuts folder....

--

bit messed up... i'm quite sleepy now... 4 in the morning...

the HTC 3D Menu cab is attached..., just in case...
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
I want to know this too!
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
Just Upgraded to v0.5a as I decided to try Sprite Backup before I buy a licence. And all I can say r. Gonzo is keep up the good work with your ROM.

Sprite Backup made restoring my phone after the upgrade painless as I didn't have to dig out all the .cab files and Windows Installers and licence keys for all my apps, and I didn't have to re-install all my Homescreens and plugins.

Roland
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
After upgrading to v0.5a I have lost the ability to change my sounds and Homescreen, wot the hell has happend to my phone?

Roland
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Fireburned : you have to edit shellres.dll to customise the waiting animation. It's done differently on ppc

Vaxick : install the attached cab files. For pocket outlook try copying the files inside the attached zip file in the windows folder, but I don't know if it will work (fully app unlock your phone before).

jaegerjaeger : maybe this method is not safe for everyone\every language pack. I'm thinking about making languages pack as cab files. I've found a method that translate nearly everything (but I can't get messaging application to be translated..). I think it will be easier for everyone. I already made a swedish cab but I haven't got any feeback on it.

I've now also made a German cab, can someone try it ?

briggs81 : did you install htc home gregory's cab ? It didn"t work for me at first but worked after I erased some not needed .mui files in it : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1845226&postcount=52

MoRkusReX : I'm sorry I don't have any files for Hebrew language. If you know a windows mobile rom with hebrew in it (even if it is not for Vox) I might be able to do something with it.

Barzi1991 : I remember it was possible to do that by some registry editing, I don't know where though..

elixxir : Yeah since I updated to the latest 1.34 htc rom the menu got slower. I don't really know what's causing this. It think it is .NET CF 3.5 but there was no problem as far as I remember when my rom was based on the Arabic rom (and it seemed faster in general too..).

And I'll try 3d menu

RolandH : I don't really recommand using sprite backup between different roms. The results can be a bit unpredictable. What rom did you use to make the backup ?

I've also attached a new blue theme as requested. No screenshots sorry.:o
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I don't really like 3d menu... And its also slow. But I just discovered abstract start. I think I will use this for the default start menu in the next version. (while still keeping the choice to use the original one of course)

but it has some little problems with screen orientation switching from my quick tests... I still love it though :)
[HTC Vox] Barzi1991:

[HTC Vox] hurdleman:
after Tornado power control i've choosen automatic speed my htc reboot everytime i try to launch this prigram again. what to do if I do not want automatic speed?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
hurdleman: Connect with ActiveSync, browse to \Windows\Startup and remove the Tornado_PowerControl_startup file. This will stop TPC from enabling upon Windows starts up.

Gonzo: Are there any changes to the PagePool size on your ROM?
[HTC Vox] Da9L:
Am i the only one who cannot flash this rom ? When i try the RUU reports Corrupted ROM file as soon as it hits 3%.. Can anyone upload this rom again?

And maybe to another server couse the current server is extremely slow ! Running below 1 kb/s!
[HTC Vox] tho:
I cannot flash either! I'm danish too, maybe it's a regianal issue??? All prior rom versions worked fine though!

I'm on a macbook, so I figured Parallels (Vista) was the problem, but maybe not?
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
I have the list poping up now where it lets me add people, but now have different questions!

1) yes, i installed gregory htc home cab. What not needed mui files did you have? I didn't find any 419 or whatever.

2) i have some contacts now on HTC home favorite people screen, but I don't know how to access them to choose one to call. are you suppose to be able to go up and choose one of their pictures and call them or does it only take you to the list of people?

3) I am customizing phone for girlfriend. I try to remove the startup.gif and shutdown.gif files using total commander and resco and make them NOT read only to delete them but they won't let me remove them. i use to be able to to this wtih tytn II even if files were in the rom.

Any ideas?
[HTC Vox] Da9L:
Well, iam on Windows XP and i also got the problem.. It could be a regional issue, not sure.. But could anyone to start with just upload their downloaded rom to rapidshare, megashare or 4shared ?
[HTC Vox] tho:
I have tried both Vista and XP, I know Parallels has a limitation that only allows it to use USB1.1, but VMware (alternative application) uses 2.0, so I was about to try that!

The latest 1.34 HTC official rom installed fine (with errors though, but the error was always at a different %, so patience was the key, and in the end the flash was complete!:)) Updating to latest New Guava gave me a constant 3% error, constant. Phone rebooted. No go! I've tried 3 different USB cables too, all available ports. No luck!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
h4waii : No I didn't change pagepool. I tried it before and didn't notice any real difference. Did you tried it ?

briggs81 :

1. don't worry about them now that it works ;)

2. Yes it also only took me to the list of people, I don't know if it is normal behavior.

3. did you totally app unlock the phone ? it helps sometimes with deleting files in ROM.

I'm sorry I can't help all of you who have flash problems. And there is also nothing I can do on ROM side that could improve things.

MoRkusReX : I'll look at your file. But apparently it is WinCE, which is different than Windows mobile.
[HTC Vox] Da9L:
This is what i get at 3% of the flashing everytime i try.. I have tried updating from another computer but it dosnt work
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Gonzo: I am toying with upping it to 8MB, I've adjusted the PP in your v5 ROM and I am going to flash it now and see what happens. When you adjusted it, what did you set it to? I think I might go directly to 12 actually, though I am reading Kaiser subforum and 50 is the standard now, lol.
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Well, I've tried 3 different PagePool sizes, 8 16 and 32MB all with no performance benefits, I am havign trouble getting it to sync using 32MB, so I can copy HaReT over to get USPL working. Bah.

EDIT: Done. Last flash to 2MB PP to test, but 6MB works perfectly fine, no changes need to me made to v5!
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
'Yes as far as i can tell I did, I went through all the steps listed in the unlock thread so I am assuming I did.

Do you think it is possible for me to run the app unlocker again even after flashing your rom, or is that unwise to do?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Run the SDA_Application_Unlocker again. It can't harm your phone, locked or unlocked.
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
Yeah I went ahead and did it, still nothing though. Can't remove those files :\ phone is straight HTC device also, unbranded. Hmm wonder why I can't remove files from vox rom but can on a tytn II rom.. I take it no one else has this problem :O
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Try and over-write them instead of simply deleting them. Copy them with ActiveSync, edit it and copy it using Resco / Total Commander to \Windows\.
[HTC Vox] hurdleman:
How to restore original Windows media player 10 skin, because i like it much more than the one which is in Dr.Gonzo New_guarana?
[HTC Vox] themobileguru:
Just Loaded - Excellent

Thanks - finally a cooked ROM that works properley and looks great too. Thank You!!!!:)
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Dr Gonzo, how i could edit shellres.dll ? What soft i have to use ?

Thanks.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Hawaii : thank you for your results with pagepool. I guess I'll keep it as it was then. :)

Hurdleman : I'll probably make a cab to do this.

ThemobileGuru : thanks :)

Fireburned : you have to use resources editor. Try reshacker or XN Resource Editor (google for them)
[HTC Vox] themobileguru:
Installation - sucess

I had the same issue (3% and then phone reboots) installing an English version.

This is not a regional issue but one of following the instructions supplied in the ROM package precisely.

The phone must be unlocked from any service provider (orange in my case) before you start and then follow the instructions - to the letter.

1. go into VOX_USPL\SDA_ApplicationUnlock and run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe

2. go into VOX_USPL\VOX_USPL and run uspl_116_jockyw.bat

3. follow instructions and when screen (on phone) turns black (you have to press return a few time on the PC) the program on the pc will end the phone stays black then goto the root when you unzippped the files too and run FLASH.exe. This is the only way this will work - but it is all detailed in the zip files however it may not be clear about running the .bat file and then runing FLASH.exe.

Give it is try because the resluts are really good if you persist - I did :)
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
Yeah that's my second plan of attack, but I want to remove one of the boot up screens completly.

Right now there is..

HTC logo, fine

Windows mobile splash

guava splash

To many screens and would like to actually remove one.

I am hoping it at least lets me copy over them..
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
You can overwrite the New Guava splash, however HTC logo and Windows Mobile "radar" screen can't be done after your ROM is flashed.
[HTC Vox] hurdleman:
Dr. Gonzo, is there any possibilty that you can make also a cab file to make sms menu like in original rom, white backround with bigger black letter, not black backround with smaller white letters?
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
This makes no sense. I created 3 separate images. startup.gif, shutdown.gif, ms_splash.png and copied and overwrote the existing ones in the Windows folder.

Here are the results.

Windows 'radar' wallpaper still shows up, even though in the windows folder i open it and it's the custom one i made.

Neither the startup or shutdown splash screens are appearing, even though they are in the windows folder still also and I can double click to open them and they are again, the custom images i copied over.

Now,w hen I shutdown the phone it still needs time to shutdown, so it just keeps the last screen that was active, open, instead of the shutdown.gif file. I don't understand how overwrite the image with another can cause it to not show at all.

Is this this rom specific, or does it go for all windows mobile smartphone roms?
[HTC Vox] Barzi1991:
What do you think? Is the Guava rom faster with the new official rom(1.34) or is it faster with the ARA rom (I think 0.5 is with ARA and 0.5a is with 1.34, right?).

I have the feeling that the guava rom based on the ARA rom is faster. So what do you think?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
The "radar" image displayed at the beginning is not exactly ms_splash.png. I haven't found a way to change it. I guess it"s also in the rom the same way the first splashscreen is. But there is no option for i in htc rom tool. I guess no one knows the particular adress of the file.

But ms_splash is displayed when you first boot the phone though.

And I just tried it, I have no problem replacing the startup and shutdown animations once the phone is unlocked. I have made a lot of those but deleted all of them by accident :o

hurdleman : problem with this skins is that they have to be made for each languages available. I think I'll just drop the concept completely, it's too much work for what it's worth.

Here's hoping future versions of windows mobile will be fully and easily skinnable :)
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
Well this is very confusing then. This s710 i have is unbranded and i ran the unlocker again last night.. lol.. pretty simple process, just says to press unlock it and then reboot and voila!

I mean I am able to replace the startup and shutdowns, they just don't appear anymore, even though they are in windows folder.

So I have broken it it seems. haha.
[HTC Vox] Da9L:
Gonna try that.. But i thought that the USPL should only be run once and then never again ? Well, going to try at and will report back if it works.. Thanks.. :)
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
lol.. if i put them back in, the original startupa nd shutdown, the animations show again. how odd. time to experiment some more.
[HTC Vox] zeeshee:
Thanks to Gonzo

Hi Dr Gonzo

Thanks a lot for such a beautiful rom. I think this is the only other ROM available for VOX than original HTC one.

I hope to see more themes & new versions for this ROM in future.
[HTC Vox] MoRkusReX:
Vibrate

Umm..Why does it vibrates now and then? I'm on "Normal" mode and can't find anything in Profile\edit that explains it.

Got to do with GPRS maybe?..
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I will probably release a new version based on the french update by htc which is a bit newer than the WWE. But I will no longer propose to add languages with the same method. Too many people having problems with this. I will use cab files as languages addon, but not all can be translated using this method, for exemple the messaging application. But from what I've seen it can translate everything, so I hope it's ok with you guys. (well I want to know if it's ok before I start making them because it is some work).

MoRkusReX : Sorry I forgot to report the changelog to the first post.:D

Here is the vibration explaination :

"Mortscript (with a script that vibrates every 5 min if there are missed call\waiting messages\reminders waiting for you. It doesn't vibrate if the phone is on silent mode. To disable this feature delete notify.mscr in windows\startup)"
[HTC Vox] Barzi1991:
Hi Gonzo, I think you didn't saw my question ;). Hope you can anwser it :D.

Is the new french rom faster then the WWE(which is used now, right?)?
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
Ok, must have been a problem with Photoshop. I was exporting as gif but apparently it doesn't like that gif, so I used the original startup/shutdown files and modified them in Fireworks then copied them over to windows folder and it works as expected.

Hurrah!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Barzi : no it was based on ara before v0.4

the only difference in v0.5a compared to v0.5 is this : "-updated jbed to its latest version : 0_0_20071119_3_1"

I have tested again recently an old release of mine based on ara rom and in fact I don't think it is faster.

And although some of you said the start menu was slow on the rom I've just tested it on the official WWE rom and it is slow two. Well as far as I remember it has always been a bit slow accessing folders inside it. I guess people who had this problem experienced a really painfully slow start menu. I don't know where this came from.

The new french rom is not faster but the Os has been updated and some drivers from htc too. Doesn't bring any real difference.

Briggs : Cool :) I made them with adobe imageready and the system had no trouble reading them.
[HTC Vox] Da9L:
Thanks for a great rom Martin! I have been using it for a day now, and it works just as it should! And the menus aren't slow at all as some claims..

When are you planning to release a new version ? :)
[HTC Vox] zeeshee:
Thanks to Gonzo

Hi Gonzo

I was planning to sell my s710 but this rom has made it so beautiful & useful for me :-)

We will wait for new version & themes for English rom.

Regards

Zeeshan
[HTC Vox] zeeshee:
problem

if your phone is locked & you open the keypad, the screen goes white...

can you please fix this?
[HTC Vox] MyopicWorm:
Dr. Martin Gonzo : Can i use this rom on my Cingular 3125 ?
[HTC Vox] Ogawa:
I think the blougouav theme (which is great!) is missing the in call portrait screen??

Is anyone else having this problem???
[HTC Vox] kro77:
Ignore it was a me problem
[HTC Vox] Barzi1991:
Gonzo, can you post the original taskmanager? I like it more than application manager
[HTC Vox] mohanidno:
Hi,

I'm waiting for this french rom too :)
[HTC Vox] skchattha:
Dr. Gonzo,

I tried 0.5a on my HTC S710, everything was fine but after few minutes of working, phone got hang, i tried several times but everytime same result so i had to go back to original HTC latest rom which works perfectly fine.

DId you test it on any HTC S710? Might be still issues are there.

But above all, i would like to appriciate your efforts. It could be a better ROM than original HTC but if all bugs are removed.
[HTC Vox] Da9L:
Mine did this too.. And it still does but i found out that if waited just about 30 seconds before i typed the PIN code for my sim, and then let the phone boot up without doing anything and then waiting another 30 seconds it dosn't hang.
[HTC Vox] zeeshee:
I am using it on HTC s710 & its working fine....
[HTC Vox] robinwu228:
Dear Gonzo ：

Can you help me

i need Simplified Chinese ROM

please and Thanks

robinwu228
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
zeeshee : you mean with smarttoolkit lock feature ? If that's the case I can't do anything about it.

MyopicWorm : nope. Roms are device specific. This will only work on the Vox.

Ogawa : Yes it seems it got corrupted in the cab. I will fix this.

Barzi1991 : Yes I will do it tonight.

skchattha, Da9L : Please be more specific when you say the phone hangs. Tell me if you added languages for exemple.

The ROM should be perfectly stable now at least for french and english versions (that's the only one I have the time to test). It absolutely never hangs.

robinwu228 : You should contact iQQ who wrote this thread.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I have attached my new homescreen. I'm thinking of making it the default for the next release. I wanted something less dark and to see if I was able to make a windows mobile 6 theme. It will also allow to have multiple appointements on screen thanks to CBReminder.

Tell me what you think
​

EDIT : I have added original Task Manager to the forst post. (under "additional stuff")

EDIT2 : I've fixed the blue theme. Get it here. Still no screenshots :p
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
From what I've seen on these images (NOTE: i installed the cab but i can't see the skin caouse in the homescreen it says it didn't find a layout for HOme :( )

.....However from your images

I think it looks good...

The good thing about your skin is taht they are simple (and beacause of this..... light--->means quicker response) and stylish.

NOTE: have you ever tryed customizing more your rom by adding a different system font

P.S: did you know there is a skin HTCTOuch-like that uses Gregory's plugin whic is inspirated to your new Guava theme here
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
The cab posted is for the previous blue theme I released. So it still doesn't work ? :confused:

And I know about those htc home theme. Tho made them. They look great but I really don't like htc home. it's too slow.

Good suggestion for the fonts. I already tried changing them but couldn't find a font that looked good in all situations. If you have one please share :).

And it's true I always try to keep my skin simple. Which is actually harder to make than put a lot of things into them :D. Seriously when making a new layout I do approx 10 versions before I'm pleased :eek:
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
I like your windows mobile 6 theme.
[HTC Vox] Barzi1991:
Thanks for posting the original Task manager!

I like the new theme very much, but is it called dose6? Because if i install that one, I get an error if I go to the homescreen. It's says something about pictures that can't be loaded..
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
That's the same i said before...the home layout is missing..

nevermind

Doc Martin Gonzo: til now the unique font i succesfully tried and see working is tahoma...others for some strange reasons not worked for me...I was looking for a font very clean and readable even if used with little size...I mean some fonts get crappy when they aren't viewed at 100% of their pt.

I was thinking...why do not also include with jbed( and adding more readable fonts in it too) opera mini and Gmaps with the related shortcuts like you suggest in the first topic....don't get angry please :D: :D was just an idea.

And a personal preference is to be able to view usefull info (obviously I don't mean weather :)) on the homescreen like SmartPhinger Smartmonitor or CommCentric...maybe include it in your next release....?!? IMHO

P.S: I think the application manager is better for number of functions implemented (like processes PID etc etc) than standard application manager..but I think it 's more buggy too...I mean I often get a stupid error (simple to skip) "can't enumerate Processes 0x00---bla bla bla
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Dr Gonzo,

How can i copy shellres.dll from my vox to my computer ?

FileExplorer can't see this file.

I wan't to edit and make my own WaitCursor.

(I have found and try reshack, wich is great !)

Thanks.
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
I really like RightMenu (google it) and Task manager. I don't like Application Manager it feels slow unfortunately to me and yes you get those weird process errors. But this HTC Task manager is small efficient and quick i think.
