GPS

First of all, Quentin, your ROM is great! It's crazy fast.

Backstory:

I was finally able to switch from Sprint to AT&T when Amazon put the Tilt on sale. Got the phone 2 days ago, and while very nice, it seemed both slow and bloated. Switching from landscape to portrait mode, you could watch the pieces of the screen methodically rearrange themselves one by one, for example. After doing some research on ROMs, I decided to go with yours since your package/presentation is the most thorough, and you seemed to test/QA your releases the most (I care WAY WAY WAY more about stability and polish than having the latest versions of stuff). I actually had a flawless first experience installing HardSPL followed by your ROM, and things are way nicer on the phone now.

One teeny tiny issue:

GPS doesn't work. I've tested WIFI, 3G, MMS, SMS, email, etc. and almost everything works as well or noticeably better than it did with the AT&T ROM. The only major drawback has been that GPS just won't work. Prior to installing Q-Mobile 1.2, it was using a 1.27.12.something radio, so it got the .14.09 with your ROM. I don't know if that's related or not.

The only thing I didn't do exactly according to the docs:

I forgot to hard reset right after the flash. I actually spent about a half hour customizing it before remembering to hard reset it, so I promptly did it and set it up again. Does it matter if I used it for a while before doing the hard reset? I don't know why it would, but hey, I'm not the one making ROMs.

Final question:

Do you have any ideas about the GPS? The GPS status app you included, can't think of the name, shows 9 towers in view, and 0 in use. No GPS apps are getting a lock: Google Maps, Yahoo! Go 2.0, the GPS status app thing, etc. They all worked with the AT&T ROM. Is there anything you can think of that I can do to make GPS work on AT&T? I'll provide whatever other info you might need about my device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] johanromijn:
Are you running the TyTN II ROM, or the TILT ROM??

TyTN II: use radio 1.12.xx

TILT: use radio 1.14.xx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sunetos:
Oops, I knew I'd leave out something vital. I installed the AT&T Tilt version of the ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tomsenna:
I'm no Dr. but...

I'm not Dr. Q, but I have been using Qmobile 1.2 successfully. My GPS worked right away. I just reinstalled to see if not doing a reset changed results and it didn't. However, I installed VIsual GPS before running GPS and used this application 1st to see more details of what would be going on. Perhaps there is some initialization done by certain apps when the start. So, you might try installing and running Visual GPS and see what happens. It's free and you can always delete it later if you don't like it. I like the details from the GPS data, satelites found, speed, etc.

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aadadams:
He has to be running the Tilt version, because it installed the 14.09 radio as the OP described. I have the same ROM and radio and have not trouble with GPS. Sugestion: Hard reset your phone and try to get a satellite fix using the application included in the rom. If that does not work reflash to the same rom. When the tap screen message is displayed hard reset the phone then proceed to set the phone up the way you like it. This should solve any software issue associated with starting the GPS receiver.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Yeah I'm not sure...probably that there's either file dependencies or registry dependencies that are not provided with the CABs you are trying to install. Or that the executables themselves are wanting to run only on a specific OS version.

? It is split from SMS in this version. You can either hit your mail button multiple times to scroll through all your accounts, or under Tools|Options you can put a check mark in the account picker so that comes up instead.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
I agree, TomTom is a horrible waste of power...but if you have Spb PocketPlus installed you can use it to assign extra button actions (long press)...I set the LONG press of the side ok button (that's the grey one) to [Screen Toggle] so I can at least turn off the screen while navigating.

The reason for this will be obvious for anyone using TomTom, pressing the power button turns off the GPS and thus disables TomTom, assigning a long press button to the other side's OK button to [Screen Toggle] will only turn the screen off, allowing everything else to continue. It helps *A LOT* with TomTom battery drain.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sunetos:
Actually, Visual GPS is the app that comes with Q-Mobile 1.2, I just couldn't think of the name at the time.. So to test further before wiping it clean again and restarting, I just went up on top of a hill and got a lock with Visual GPS.

!OHHHHHH I just thought of something; I hope I haven't wasted everyone's time. Before Q-Mobile, I used KaiserTweak to enable Assisted GPS. However, Q-Mobile disables that for the sake of QuickGPS. I bet the location I've been trying in has poor GPS signal and only got a connection with Assisted GPS. Since I definitely have no need for GPS inside a building like that, I'm pretty happy with the result if that is all it was. Does that sound reasonable? Thanks for everyone's replies. Man you guys are fast!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
I don't use HTC Album (I use Resco Photo Viewer instead) but I noticed that like you Pictures & Videos comes up when pressing Album within the Camera. I briefly searched this thread and didn't find a solution, let me know if I missed it. If not, it seems like the camera executable would be linking to pimg.exe (hardcoded). If that is the case I recommend you upgrade to the new 5.0.4 Camera (under Dutty's CABs in my wiki) because I believe it tries to use HTC Album by default.

Hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Thanks for the tip!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Check Dutty's CAB Collection as linked in the Wiki...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Shouldn't be related to the radio. I find it really strange that you say visual GPS *sees* the sats but isn't locking them...my advice (unfortunately) would be to do a hard reset and see if on a fresh device whether visual GPS can lock the satellites (should take no longer than 30 seconds--less if you have updated the QuickGPS data).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
That's possible, but keep in mind I disabled that for a reason (I can't remember off the top of my head right now but in KaiserTweak I documented the possible conflict). So be sure to note that if you enable assisted GPS again. Cheers,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] briggs81:
will installing the camera cab from dutty's list overwrite the current camera software, or make two versions of the camera software?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sunetos:
Pretty sure it was for the Quick GPS accelerator thing. Thanks for all your efforts; your ROM has transformed my Tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rquinn19:
that cab is older than whats in duttys v4 even v3
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] briggs81:
HTC RC w100 wired remote music player buttons do not work with this rom in WMP, but the phone buttons do.

I will download audio manager to see if that makes any difference.

Installing drivers won't work either I don't believe.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] briggs81:
The device mentioned in my above post works as intended for audio manager, just not WMP.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Alright then search the forums for whatever version you want...or find a ROM with the one you want and rip it and make your own CAB for it...then share with the community. I'd do it but I find no use for it compared to the WMP.

I do however see a couple posts that reference a device where the buttons don't seem to work with WMP but do with AM, so I can see how it could be useful to some people. Honestly though, a bit of searching will net you what you want...try it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] trivguy:
htc album as default viewer for camera

Thanks Quentin for your response. I read through this thread and indeed it seems that it is hardmapped, though several people tried a work around and it caused more problems than it solved (same thread). I can confirm that upgrading the camera (from Dutty's collection) does map the album button in the camera to HTC Album.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rquinn19:
No offense I love your rom and everything but i'm not a rookie and i did search before i asked. 90% of my posts are answering i rarely ask and only if its necessary. I guess I'll try to see if I can rip it from a rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] simbadogg:
has anyone found a cab for a battery status for the q-mobile 1.2. i can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings, or under today...so i'm guessing its a cab thats left out. on top of that i've searched the kaiser forums for "battery" "battery status" and "battery cab" and i can't seem to pick up a thing. as of right now, i'm stuck having to go to start=>settings=>system=>battery just to see how much juice i have left.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rquinn19:
not really necessary as you can long press on the battery icon in the top right corner and change it to %
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] simbadogg:
Umm...thats kind of the problem, i dont have a battery icon at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
As you may have noticed from the screenshots of the way I set up my device Spb Pocket Plus provides what I consider to be an awesome battery status (a tiny bar across the top of the device) and so by default I show clock on the today screen. This is easily changed by using KaiserTweak to change it to a battery icon. Cheers,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] PsyOpWarlord:
Instead of trying to find a cab or program have you attempted to turn the icon back on?

Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar

If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:

HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)

And to show:

HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] simbadogg:
Ummm...i guess you didn't read the part about all the places in the settings i was looking...that was kinda to turn the icon back on. I'm not sure if you're trying to be rude or not, if not....thanx for trying to help, if you are, well...i dunno why. Anyways, i guess i needed to do a soft reset after doing the kaiser tweak. But, i'm not using total commander...haven't done regedits in a while (thankfully).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ionutz6:
Quentin,

sorry for looking so much into the future, but do you have any newer version prepared for us in the following days?

the reason im asking is because i have flashed your 1.2 rom and then ive tried dutty v4. i find your 1.2 rom much more... tasty :), and im tempted to go back to it, but i was just wondering if i should do it, or just wait for your next ROM.

honestly im kinda sick of flashing, actually sick of reinstalling all apps after the flash, hence my question.

thanks,

ionutz
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] johanromijn:
A new version?? Is there anything that can be made better? :D:D

Quentin already said, this will be the final version, as long as there are no major updates. (Like video-drivers:eek:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] PsyOpWarlord:
Actually I did read where you were looking, which was slightly vague. You made no mention that I saw of trying to use Kaiser Tweak in your previous posts to make changes to battery icon. If you had then the reset probably would have been one of the first answers you got. I saw you mentioned cab files, "settings" and the today configuration page.

All I did was provide the correct registry key (the same change that Kaiser Tweak makes BTW) so you could get the icon to show by manually manipulating the key.

It was no way rude. It was just a (one of several) correct answer to the question you asked that would have fixed your delima.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ionutz6:
hehe, no matter if there are any updates or anything to be improved, i expect other roms, this is how its going, isnt it?

thanks for the info, anyway, guess ill switch back to q1.2, best rom ive tried for kaiser...

How did you install, the instructions say to uninstall TCPMP and then install the bundle. But it's cooked into the rom right? Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] matchtrader:
I installed it withouth uninstalling TCMP and it worked fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ChaOConnor:
Great, i'll give it a shot, thank you!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Maarten_0031:
Yep. I've flashed some other Roms, but now I'm back at Quentins. Great Rom.

Are you planning a 1.3, Quentin? (xcuse me if it has already been mentioned in previous post - i don't read them all)

Turbo cab run on Q-mobile 1.2?

Has anyone tried the Turbo cab with Q-mobile 1.2?

Results?

Perhaps the Q. tweaks already take them into consideration.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] johanromijn:
The answer is in the WIKI:

Please note that the cache settings configured in this ROM have come about through extensive (more than 10) benchmark tests. It is highly recommended to leave them default unless you are aware of the results of changing them and it specifically benefits you in some way. In this spirit let me share that setting the File System Filter Cache to 131072 is excessive and actually results in a dramatic loss of speed in certain filesystem activities.

I don't think you should change them!

Q-Mobile 1.2 + TrackMe = NetCF & SQL incompatibilities?

Quentin,

Thanks for the fast and stable ROM, I really enjoy using it. It seems that there are others with the same problem as I, we're running Q-Mobile 1.2 and unable to make the latest version of TrackMe work.

Since installing TrackMe and it failing to run I've tried re-installing NetCF 3.5 (was told it already existed and couldn't install) and successfully (re?)installed "sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i", performed soft resets and TrackMe still failed with the same error messages. I've since un-installed "sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i".

Have any clues for me? I've considered asking for an older .cab of TrackMe to see if it would work. (This is the first time I've tried TrackMe.)

Thanks for your generosity in providing the community with such a polished ROM, I would definitely contribute $ if you accepted donations. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Yes, please see the Q-Mobile 1.2 Wiki Downloads or the attached file below for the official Q-Mobile version.

If you installed the TreoCentral version prior to this CAB being available, please note the following mandatory and optional registry changes that should/can be made after removing that version and installing the Q-Mobile official update:

If any of you happen to resolve any file/dll/registry dependencies to make solitaire work let me know and I'll package a version of Solitaire specific to this ROM. Cheers,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
There will be a 1.3 if some major changes from HTC drivers, etc come along that warrant an update. Likewise a 2.x series would happen if a new base ROM from MS becomes available that warrants an update (e.g. WM6.1 Pro).

Otherwise you'll just see some possible updates in CAB form such as the 1.4.4 FlashVideoBundle that I released today to keep the ROM working as intended. Cheers,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aadadams:
The Solitaire dependency is not clear to me, but I have found that when it does not work or is not present Hearts will not work either. Now after installing Kyphur's Solitaire and the MS hearts thats floating about I observe the following.

1. Attempting to launch the Solitaire link does nothing.

2. Launching Hearts produces an error which reports that hrts_dll.dll or PegCards.dll are not found.

After Google'ng it seems that PegCards contains the deck used by MS card games. It would be great if those were the only two things needed to get this to run, but I cannot find them anywhere to check.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rquinn19:
The best part about a rom like this! No need to reflash to update simple cab updates. This is easily the best rom out now.

Q-Mobile 1.2 SqlServerCe 3.5 FIX

Unbelievable...can't see how that happened. I know for a fact that I tested the SQL 3.5 engine but somehow I must have reverted it prior to release. Attached is a CAB file that will fix your problem. Sorry for the trouble.

In case you're wondering what the CAB does, it only changes two registry keys (you could do this instead of installing the CAB if you want). They are:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\Installer\Assemblies\Global]
"System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3"=multi_sz:"\Windows\GAC_System.Data.SqlServerCe_v3_5_0_0_cneutral_1.dll", "System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll"

@Quentin

Were the dll mentioned in post 228 useful in finding a resolution? What else could I do to provide more information such that a resolution can be found?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Not sure how that works...a search reveals to me that it somehow prevents your device from connecting to the internet when an application requests it? I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on my ROM unless it was a .Net application that had to use .Net CF 2.0 (in which case you would want to install that CAB from the downloads on my Wiki and use Net CF Config to specify 2.0 runtime for that application).

You would have to be a lot clearer on what isn't working about it (e.g. is there an error message and if so what is it) before I could help you further.

On another thought, if you're using that because you don't have a data plan and don't want it to ever dial GPRS wouldn't it be better to just remove MEdia Net and/or AT&T ISP completely?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
This pretty much has to be something specific to s2u2, I've never heard of the issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
Could you be a little clearer on what you mean exactly? When I'm in a call for instance that is precisely what the scroll button does (turns in call volume up or down). Are you asking if there is a way to make the behavior on the today screen turn the system volume up or down? Because I would assume not since it would have no way of knowing whether you wanted the system volume or the ringer volume to go up or down. Mind you a small program could probably be written to hook the action and do this, but registry-wise I don't think so.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Quentin-:
As you all have been patient and helpful, I'll try to look at solitaire today. I've downloaded the solitaire CAB from XDA Live Wiki (CRC 6AEC108D) which contains only the htm and exe files and no registry entries whatsoever. I'll see if I can meet the dependencies and get it working for you all. Cheers,

Edit: I've got it working, will package a CAB but unfortunately I have to run out for a bit right now so it'll be later.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aadadams:
Version 0.95 and 0.96 were kinda problematic and many issues were reported with them though direct draw was the primary. I woulod suggest trying the current version 0.98. I use this version with no real issues.

@Q

TIA on this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Shafty:
I see 0.99 is out today. I did try 0.97 and 0.98 but I find that the landscape to portrait switch is soooo much faster with 0.95.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aadadams:
Most would argue that the 0.86 was the best version, because it was stable and near ZERO issues. To run it you simply have to live without the weather, animated gifs, and etc. I will try the 0.99, because I live to upgrade. I will report back if you're hesitant.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Shafty:
Just installed 0.99 myself so we'll see what happens. Incidentally, I was trying some zenyee thing out with regards to the password issue (following a search) but I've now removed this for the purpose of elimination.
