hey Dr. Gonzoo

so hey got your rom working, like i said its a beauty! ran into a problem though, i used Sprite to back up my data (text messages, contacts, etc). and for soem reason when i restored it all (after flashing to your rom), the start icons for contacts, and calendar are changed. now they display as the generic windows logo icon. i think the icons are incorrect, cause when i click on contacts it takes me to a 'create a new folder' screen. maybe its a setting that needs to be changed on Sprite itself?
[HTC Vox] Padder:
Thanks a lot Dr. Martin Gonzo for your rom, works great.

btw Anyone can test the calculator on the last french version?

it tells me "no a CE valid application"
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I made a norwegian language pack but I removed it since suspected it could cause problems the same way my french pack did.

I hope I'll fix the problem..
[HTC Vox] gaaten:
Ok, if you managed to fix it that would be great:) Love the rom exept that missing part, ran like a charm on my vox.
[HTC Vox] prajith:
Main advantages of this Rom over the new HTC ROM ?

please dont mention the application since I can always install them.

what are the other advantages?
[HTC Vox] Ogawa:
never mind...

If i would just read a little more I would find the answer...

French language pack

Hello,

I'm looking for french language pack. Is it avalable?

thanks
[HTC Vox] awca22:
Hey what is happening to the host .. i cant download the rom can someone upload it to somewhere else not rapidshare or megaupload please !!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Is download still unavailable ? It works on my side.

Anyway I've just made A LOT of tests on languages and I *think* the problem is not with my language packs but with the rom used as a base. But I won't be able to be sure until htc releases a non corrupted frecnh 1.34 update :mad::mad:

All languages packs now on my server should be safe to use though. But you'll have to be patient for others.

I'll need all possible versions of this 1.34 update. So far I have WWE and nordic version and I'm waiting for the french one. Does anyone have others ?
[HTC Vox] awca22:
is that i think is from my country it says that the host has been resseted and i cant download the rom please someone upload it to another place please !!
[HTC Vox] answer:
http://rapidshare.com/files/89750030/Dr.Gonzo.V05.Polish.zip.html polish version of ROM add... :)
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Did you made it with the polish language pack I had previously released ?

If so can you access "about" (don't know how it is supposed to be called in polish :D) in the settings ? Are the shortcuts like calendar, contacts etc translated too ?

Thank you for sharing it :)

--------------------------

I've finally found the problem with my french language pack. It will only be solved when htc will fix their corrupted 1.34 french rom update :mad:

Meanwhile I should be able to release all nordic languages (norwegina, danish, finnish etc..). But the method used to add languages pack will have to be tweaked a little. I'll have to update the modified kitchen and update instructions.
[HTC Vox] busterleguster:
:)

Thanks for the effort Doc!

Running your ROM w. the Danish language pack which works great so far.

Some things are translated, seems to be the HTC components like audio player ("styring af lyd") and quick notes, otherwise it's still "settings", "calculator" and so forth. But this really isn't an issue.

The about entry in settings is translated ("om"), but doesn't work.
[HTC Vox] busterleguster:
ROM-level tweaking of wired headset button?

Is there a way to change the functionality of the button on the wired headset, so it runs MS voice command instead of the HTC voice prog.?

I've tried changing it in AE button +, but AE doesn't register a keypress on this button.

Perhaps this can be changed on the ROM-level?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Thanks for feedback on danish :) Just as expected, it starts to make sense

. You should be able to build all working danish, finish, swedish and norwegian roms today :)

I'd like too to find a way to tweak that button. Keep me updated if you ever find something.

EDIT : I've added new languages pack but please wait before using them, I've still got to fix a few things.
[HTC Vox] qumran:
I tried the Zhao Skin, wonderful skin but when i changed back to another skin, any skin, even the other skins from the same creator, the pictures when i call and when i enter the pincode is still from the Zhao Skin. How come?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
uninstall it and reboot.

Ok this is getting me crazy, when I use a nordic baserom to compile a nordic language everything is fine, all texts are translated and I can acces about menu BUT there is no MMS and security is acting in a weird way.

If I still can't find a solution I'll drop the all language pack concept thing and only release english, with t9 packs of course.
[HTC Vox] busterleguster:
If t9 and keyboard is nationalized, all is good here...the rest is icing on the cake.

All troubleshooting and tweaking is written in English, so it can be easier to work with an all-english layout anyway. just my 2 cents.
[HTC Vox] qumran:
Thanks! Maybe you can tell me how to edit those neat backgrounds?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
By opening them with your favorite image manipulation program ?

I think I've found a solution to the languages pack problem by playing with the xip sections :D

I'll post tonight a modified version of my kitchen for all Nordic languages as a BETA but it shouldn't add any unstability but still I'd like some feedback.

I might even get french working today :D

A lot of research has finally paid !
[HTC Vox] answer:
Yes, polish language pack I had previously released... All it's very good and polish translate: the shortcuts like: calendar, contacts, office, etc translated :D

Thank you Dr Gonzo ;)
[HTC Vox] krmz:
Dr Gonzo.

Spanish language will be available in the future?

thanks
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yes I have good hopes. In fact if I get french running spanish should run good too :) But somethings like windows live and others won't be translated in spanish because I don't have the files. I took them from a SFR rom and they decided like many providers to take windows live out.

If you have an official htc rom (whatever the version) with spanish or if your phone is currently in spanish and you are willing to dump the rom please give them to me.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Good news, french version works :D
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Ok we now have Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Romanian, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, French, German, Spanish and Italian !

I hope they all work (they should, they must ! :D). See this page for instruction. You will have to download the modified kitchen again as the method is slightly different.

And I have updated the english rom and the kitchen to the latest version of Jbed. (english rom is still uploading though)
[HTC Vox] kid-furious:
Rom with french language successfully built ! I told you on your site I was waiting for french 2 days ago ;)

Alarm config (jour, tous les jours...) not translated (still in english).

Messenger too.

I'm currently testing :)
[HTC Vox] vaxick:
Holy crap Doc, that is a beautiful theme. How would I go about getting that theme and installing it on my phone? I'm getting the American edition of the Vox (Verizon SMT5800) next week.

Edit: Ok, I seen the main Guava skins posted on the first page, but what do I do for the other parts of the skin such as the SMS window and whatever out might not be in those files.
[HTC Vox] jerpelea:
Hy Dr.Gonzo :)

nice rom

i like it

can you post the new jbed as an cab or ahive ?

jbed from vox is vorking on tornado and will be very usefull

thanks

BR
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
kid-furious : can you upload it on rapidshare or something so that anyone can download it whithout having to build it ?

It would be cool if everyone could do that.

As for the missing translations I can't do anything about it. Hopefully it will be fixed once htc fix their corrupted french rom download..

vaxick : pocket outlook "skin" is a bit tricky, I can send you the necessary files but I don't know if you will be able to replace them on the phone. maybe by making a cab.. And it will work only if you select US english as your language but it seems there is no problem here. ;)

Jerpelea : in fact I took it from the Kaiser :D Here you go :

I must say I have not tested the cab but doing an OEM package out of it worked so I guess the cab does too !
[HTC Vox] kid-furious:
French New Guava rom available here : http://rapidshare.com/files/90113181/Dr.Gonzo-New.Guava.V0.5a.French.rar.html
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Hi,

I have created Guava's Rom 0.5a with infos here :

http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/?page_id=14

It works.

But i have a little problem, i have not use all of OEM includes in Kitchen.

You can see in attach files what i have selected :

- BuildOS_1.jpg

- BuildOS_2.jpg

After rom's flash on my Vox, when i call someone, i can't see number's phone on screen :

- MakeCall.jpg

And when i receive call, i have an orange background (new guava skin ???, i have not selected it on BuildOS) :

- ReceiveCall.jpg

How i can repair this to have default WM6 skin ?

And a lot of thanks for your work Dr Gonzo !

Sorry for my poor english.
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
I'm currently using v5.0 of your ROM, will upgrade to v5.0a as soon as I need to do a hard re-set. I really can not waite for WM6.1 to be released to see what new Guava will be when you update it to WM6.1. Keep up the good work with this ROM it is fantastic.

Roland
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yeah I hope a wm 6.1 rom will surface soon :)

Fireburned : call screens are defined somewhere in a provxml file in OEM\OEMOPERATORS, as well as branding brick.

Also look in SYS\Base_dpi_131_resh_240_resv_320 and SYS\Base_DPI_131.

The problem is I already have replaced some of windows mobile graphics.

I should build a restore default theme cab, it should be easy to do.

EDIT : Done :D Look at additional stuffs in the first post
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Ouch, already done !!!

Thanks Dr Gonzo, it's work perfectly !
[HTC Vox] vaxick:
Alright cool. I'll get back to ya then once the phone arrives in the mail.
[HTC Vox] Pda-usr:
hey gonzo,

i really like your roms, installed it but i would love to have a skin with some blue in it, like the normal skin justn blue? are you preparing for something like that?
[HTC Vox] xounet:
Just a question.

How do you configure the VOip? configure my count...
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Well if you get me a nice blue background I could adapt it.

I'm not making a totally new skin however, it takes too much time and I'm no longer motivated to do skins, well at least for some time.

But just making a different skin with another background would be ok :)
[HTC Vox] CDW1984:
My phone confuses me!

Hi- I just bought the MDA touch here in the Netherlands but I don't speak Dutch. I was told I can download a language pack from somewhere but I'm not sure if this is it! Can someone please help? I can't use my phone until it's in English!!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Sorry this is for smartphones (windows mobile standard) and not for pocket pcs (windows mobile professional). You should visit the section related to your phone which is http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=372 if I'm not mistaken
[HTC Vox] Pda-usr:
i would say something like this themes background ... i think it matches perfectly to the vox and its background lights etc.

:)
[HTC Vox] anwoe:
Great work dr gonzo really apreciate the effort ;)

just 2 lil things i can hardly real my appointments on the home screen

and the operator, wifi status and messages on the homescreen also pretty small

thanks!
[HTC Vox] gortz:
aaah nice to have your rom in swedish finally :) thank you for all the time you spent on this rom! really appreciate it.

If someone want a ready cooked swedish version I can put it on rapidshare, just pm me.
[HTC Vox] drudge:
Blue color for Dr. Gonzo Theme

All .png files are in zip file
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
anwoe : you can change that easily by editing the home.xml file in application data/home. look for the font size values. but it will probably end up looking bad :-( you should rather install other homescreens than mine.

I really don't want to make new homescreens styles. too much hours of work. :-(
[HTC Vox] zipredictive:
..

Hi everyone! I need some help. Id like to use the 0.5 with my language. I follow this guide

http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/?page_id=14

But....the baserom is the 0.5 one? I mean do I need to use the 0.5 english in the first page or this one: WWE_Fr_mod_1.34_baserom.rar?

Thanx
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
just get the baserom corresponding to your language ?

so yes WWE_1.34_baserom.rar if you are trying to add Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Romanian, Portuguese, Polish or Czech.
[HTC Vox] mohanidno:
@ Dr. Gonzo SIP

Hi, i wondered if you can add the SIP protocole to your rom ? I've to use it to use the phone with a wifi connection.
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Hi - I get to 3% flashing the rom and then the flash utility says the image file is corrupted and the phone reboots.

I downloaded the English version

Any ideas welcome
[HTC Vox] zeissc:
did you try to redownload it? i had the same problem a while ago and this helped me...
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Is there another download source? I'm using http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev/v0.5a.rar
[HTC Vox] zeissc:
I don´t think so.

Anyway: the problem should be on your computer, the download file on the server shouldn´t be corrupt.
[HTC Vox] raglits:
Have you unlocked the phone. I forgot to do that once and the update stopped at 3%. Once I unlocked the phone everything was fine
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Hmmm....re-downloaded using different PC & a download manager but got the same problem - fails at 3%.
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Turns out I had a dodgy USB cable! - Tried another one and the flash completed. Thanks for your suggestion though.
[HTC Vox] zeissc:
:)

so it´s working now?
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Seems to be - just configuring email clients. Seems a bit slow moving between menus and I noticed the number keys do not work when the keyboard is open, but apart from that seems t work fine.
[HTC Vox] Barzi1991:
I've been using this rom for a while, and I think it's very good.

Now i've read that there is a new, official rom from HTC. Which is faster/more stable?

And the Guava rom is based on the ARA rom right? Can you make a Guava rom based on the new official rom? Which one would be better?

Thanks!
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
THe new :-) New Guava 0.5a which is now available is based on the new HTC official 1.34

@Doc GONZO: in the sim menu I've noticed that the icons are just too much big for reading the Carrier/operator menù... I remeber those icons where introduced (at least that was the fisrt upgrade i saw them) with the 1.34 official...but in the aofficial rom they where "perfect small"...

i've upgraded from the 1.34 official directly to New Guava 0.5a...No one noticed that?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
kc1 : number keys should work. That's strange. Did you add a new language to the rom ?

TheBo : I didn't notice that, thanks. I'll look into it. But no promises, I won't have much time this week. And I don't really understand why they got bigger since it is copied straight from the official rom...:confused:

And yes it is now based on the latest rom release by htc.
[HTC Vox] bethel03:
My number pad also does not work when the keypad is open. Have not yet upgraded to 0.5a, not sure if it is fixed in that version.
[HTC Vox] tho:
HMM! When I try to update, it fails at 3% too! I have tried 3 different USB cables! And a few different ROM updates beside the New Guava one. With NO LUCK! When I use the latest official Nordic (Danish) ROM, it fails at random percentages. Sometimes 54%, sometimes 2%, sometimes 64% etc. Always a different %. The New Guava 0.5a ALWAYS fails at 3%.

Any ideas?

My phone is without OS atm, so I have to flash from the 3-color boot-menu! :-(

Tried using both XP and Vista! Tried all available USB ports and with all other devices disconnected (external HDD).
[HTC Vox] tho:
Woot! 100%! After 50+ tries it finally succeded (Official HTC, New Guava still fails at 3%). WEIRD!
[HTC Vox] kc1:
No I used the standard English install.

fyi...Couple of other oddities I noticed:

- Upon closing the keyboard with Goosync open, the left & right softkeys and home & back buttons became inoperable (had no effect) and the text labels went pixelated and then displayed the start text but did not respond (had to remove the battery to reboot).

- icons in the standard menu sometimes take a long time to load (1-2 seconds each). Haven't figured out exactly what circumstances yet

- TomTom5 installs but won't run (hangs at the point of selecting a map)
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
I noticed it too...no SW installed just updated with New Guava 0.5a...the rom is REALLY fast but for unknown reason it takes 1-3 seconds to enter in submenu's folders (like System, Applications etc...)

and it takes even more time to go back out again...

but not considering this the rom is amazing fast:D:D not really stable for me( i softreset the phone 7 times per hour if i use it for doing simple things) but amazing FAST!!!!:D:D

Maybe I did something wrong, i'll hardreset the phone I'll keep this beautifull rom rolling...
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Excuse the dumb question...but...

How would I change just the screensaver image, without having to reflash the rom?

I've tried replacing screensaver.png but the file is locked. Unsetting the read only attribute using Total Commander doesn't work either.

Do I have to create a whole theme or something?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Replace this file : \\Program Files\\SmartToolkit\\skins\\New Guava\\screensaver.png

It shouldn't be locked.

TheBo : do you use smarttoolkit ? if so those lockups are pretty "normal". I get absolutely no lockups when I'm not using it.

I don't know about the loading time issue with the icons. maybe it's because of net cf 3.5..

Nad I have been able to fix the sim manager pictures thanks to the latest french rom update from htc. But unfortunately english language now no longer work. Arg :o
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Thanks Martin - I was trying to replace the wrong one (the one in the windows folder).

The lock ups I get are smarttoolkit related - happens only when switching from landscape (closing the keyboard) - the smarttoolkit soft menu text and black background get corrupted. Happened to me six times - the last one when composing a text message and closing the keyboard before sending. Only the home key and the central D pad worked, so basically I was stuck and had to remove the battery. But it doesn't happen every time.

The slow loading of icons in the standard start-up menu on the other hand does happen every time for me.
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
Usually I use it...but not when I test a rom for the first 2-3 hours... and that thing happenes with or without SmartTookit...now I've hardresetted and with the rom crystal clear it happens..so no doubt...(The first time I entered the menu the phone freezes...this appen the first time after an hardreset)

another thing I noticed you placed Tornado and Smarttoolkit in /Windows/ folder so I created a shortcut to them in /Windows/StartUp and I've noticed that this cause on boot that both of them are loaded twice..(very strange....)

I noticed also that the first time you use Smarttoolkit ..it self-creates a folder in Program files (????) so maybe that's the cause.

I deleted the shortcut referring to \Windows\SmartToolkit.exe and i made a shortcut referring to \Program Files\SmartToolkit\SmartToolkit.exe and now the prog loads once.

I've tried the same thong with tornado but still load twice...I've tried creating a link with SKTools Lite in startup and deleting all the unnecessary links..but nothig! I've triend installing tornado with a cab. and tryeng what i did before with that one installed..nothing at all... deleted POwer On.lnk...deleted USerIdle.....ecc lnk....nothing at all. I prefer using tornado without that links..because it works the same...and editing the registry I use CPUAuto1=132 CPUAuto2=180 CPUAuto3=264 all works verified with OMAPclock...

So anyone has a idea regarding the load twice issue?

P.S: I've tried using the links manually and they load once also i cannot open twice Smarttolkit or tornado...manually... bah ?!?!?!? :confused

----------------EDIT---------------------------------

P.P.S: I've deleted every link not made by the ssytem in Windows/StartUp and used VOx-OC ..same situation...2 TPC running in background :(:(:(
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Well I can't do anything about the slow loading of icons sorry.

TheBo : Why don't you start those applications with the shortcuts I provided in start menu\system ?

Smarttoolkit is also in the windows folder because that's the way windows mobile works. Every files in the rom are stored in this folder. But smarttoolkit had to be copied to program files directory to work. But you cannot move it, only copy it.

The folder in program files is not created on smarttoolkit first run but already present.

There is an option in smarttoolkit general configuration to tell it to automatically startup.

As for tornado power control just copy TornadoPowerControl_startup.lnk (in windows folder) to windows\startup

But there really seem to be something wrong with your rom. Did you build it ? Adding italian maybe ? Maybe there was an error during build process because the instability you have is really not normal.
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
Yes i added italian language...but the day before i was using 0.5a english...and that moment was the first time i experienced that issues ( slow entering in sub menus, big icons in SIM menu.etc..SmToolkit and TPc loaded twice...

so i think the problem is not there...I will pass you my builded rom..maybe you can test it (IF it 's not a problem obviously)..and if it passes your tests:D:D you can use it as you wish...if you think it's good you can share them to people who do not want to use kitchen.

P.P.S: yes i tried using your links..that was the first thing i did...I'm so lazy i didn't wanted to create the shortcut myself:o:o
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yes I'd like to look at the rom. But so far I think you are the only one who reported those problems (apart from the big icons (I will solve it in next versions) and slow loading of icons) so I really don't know what's causing it ??
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
Thanks Doc!!!

I know that is really frustrating :(...nevermind i'll try to prepare the startup folder in the kitchen maybe this will solve the "doubling" issue.

as you can see there are 2 different processes...that is not possible if you load it manually...at least this is what i've experienced..:o:o
[HTC Vox] kc1:
I get slow icons too - I'm using English version. Only software added is Goosync (run manually), and changed screensaver.png. Other than than a clean install.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yes everyone experiences the slow icon problem. I think it is related to .net CF 3.5 but I'm not sure.

Anyway I wouldn't come back to 2.0 to have faster loading icons but everything else slower :p

Small request : could someone test this swedish localisation cab I made ? It translates a lot of things. However I can't get pocket outlook to get translated but that's not really a problem is it ?

I think making cabs instead of the heavy process of rebuilding roms would be easier for most people.

Please tell me if you think it has an impact on performances.
[HTC Vox] unidownz:
Thank you Doc for your work
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
This is the New Guava 0.5a with italian added language HERE...sorry but port 21 is closed from my wifi connection at university...so i had to upload it to a file hosting provider.

EDIT:

added in the xda FTP
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Dr Gonzo,

How do you have include Touch's WaitCursor in your custom rom ?

I'm on 1.34 HTC's rom and original cab from Marshalskin don't work.

(http://www.marshallskins.ilbello.com/php5/htdocs/getRes.php?id=99)

Do you have extract a dll file and edit it ?

Thanks.
[HTC Vox] vaxick:
Alright Doc, I got my Verizon SMT-5800 now. :D So how do I go about installing/getting all what is required to put this killer New Guava theme on my phone?
