Open Touch v2.7

Folks,

I'm getting ready to upload the next release with some fixes and replacements.

Fixes:

Youtube video streaming

Programs menu locking up

HTC Home pointing to Windows Media instead of AudioManager

Add-ons/Updates

Radio version: 03.07.90 is included with this release

Removed:

HTC Large Menu - This seems to be the issue with the programs folder locking up..

Notes:

I lost some of my files for the rom, so I redid the entire rom again from scratch..

Done: Open Touch v2.7 Biggy with new Radio vesion 03.07.90
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
Thanks bro. People who havent HardSPL'ed yet are really going to enjoy the new radio.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Just updated the first page.

There are two download options for v2.7 Biggy, one with the radio and one without.

Enjoy,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] register06:
And when there will be the slim version?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I thought I had already posted that?

I still have to cook it, test it, and then post it. So some time tomorrow.

I going to try some thing different with it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] monkey_knight:
stupid question...but phone doesn't need to be hardSPL'd for the version with the radio, right?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] chiku18:
Open Touch 2.7

For Some Reason Overclocking is not working. I tried several times with battery status and its still setting it 201.

Please help me
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I don't think so, and there is another download option without the radio for folks that don't to upgrade their radio.

I should havd just created a folder with the HARD SPL included with the rom that way everybody would be HARD SPL...lol
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Okay,

Please provide the steps you have tried already to help us figure out what is wrong.

The normal way is to enable it via the today menu.

Exit the today menu

Then go back in and change the value or just simply click and hold on the battery icon and wait for the option menu to pop and then change your value.

It will not work rite away after you enable it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] monkey_knight:
lol...i'm just waiting on someone to mention that they were able to revert from hardSPL back to the original SPL with the t-mobile rom. :p it's a just in case precautionary...since all the reading...made it sound like the hardSPL coding...was designed so that it couldn't be overwritten...but then, I'm not technical enough to understand how the uSPL works...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] monkey_knight:
though...back when i hard the wizard...one of the rom cookers had integrated the unlocking feature into the rom flashing process...just so that everyone would be properly unlocked beforehand. :p
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
HARD SPL is like a free way of CID unlocking your phone. I don't see why more people are not doing it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] timace:
why are so many people against HARD SPL...some even go as far as sayin dont ever do it...does it cause problems with the device?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] peraltah:
I had the same issue. I just had to put the ArcSoft software back on. I know its installed in the ROM already so if someone can tell me what the registry fix would be for this that would be super. And I need you to file those TPS reports lol.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
People are just weird. No problems caused at all.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] timace:
so i am not HARD SPL..yet..what is the new 'radio' going to do if i download the new version? newbie ques...sorry
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] drewdown227:
music through bluetooth

Hey anyone been able to get the bluetooth to play music from their phone??

Hey Ttran i noticed button 5 is not set on this release but that silly voice dial program still pops up. You should just remove that or do you know a way i could take it out or disable it ???

Thanks for the help
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
It makes your reception better. Much better in my area.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
ttran-

I think you were wanting HTC Home to point to Windows Media, its still pointing to Audio Manager. (I dont really care which one)

The video fix worked though :)

By the way, digging the clock. I dont have to install Htc Home Customizer anymore :D
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
As for the bluetooth, I'm pretty much do not know what else to do now.

I dont have a bluetooth device to test against when cooking.

Just go back to version 2.5 for now which you said worked for you.

I will repost the link in the morning.

As for the 5th button, I forgot to mention that, a lot of pepole pm me asking for different assignments so I just left it empty for them to choose.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Actually,

On v2.6 I forgot to change it to Audiomanager since it's set default to Windows Media. To me it does not matter either but some people wanted it that way.

No biggy just an easy reg fix.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Which version did you flash?

And is your device HARD SPL?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] chiku18:
Thanks ttran it's working fine. Thanks for all the effort you did for the rom.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] drewdown227:
well in 2.5 did you have the voice speed dial included in the rom?

If not do you know how i can remove it? perhaps if i just delete the LONG_Ntt in the windows directory that would disable it?

I dont really want to downgrade i will live with it but there has got to be a way to just ditch voice speed dial on my phone.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Okay,

If some more people vote for a release without it, then I will cook on tomorrow.

Folks that do not want voice speed dail, please post so I will know to remove it or not.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I did not get a response so here we go again.

This is to help a sure others of the safty of installing this rom.

Was your device HARD SPL before flashing this rom?

And which version of my rom did you flash with?

Thanks,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Crazy1031:
Sorry about that I was in a hurry. What I was saying is that I think this release is going to be great since I had been using open-touch 2.4 for a long time now and it hasn't let me down. Do you understand now?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] clifton23:
sweetttt downloading
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] coolmen777:

Anyone going to try flashing with USPL?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I already did mine, went pretty smooth. (HARD-SPL)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nextpimp:
ummm ttran gives nbh files....his default method of flashing is uspl. you haven't been converting to os.nb then flashing aserg's way have you???
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] coolmen777:
No, you are right, but after trying to install Biggy 2.5 nbh, I got an error on step 3 (Error 270: The Image File is corrupted. Please check your update utility). I am updating from OpenTouch v1. Should I flash stock T-mobile, and then try again?!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] frozinwater:
im sorry how is it that you install this .nbh file?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Please read the FAQ from the first page.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
My device is now HARD-SPL and have not had any issues of this nature any more.

As for your case if your having too many issues installing it, then just go back to the original rom and then start from there.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] frozinwater:
oh yea sorry bout that one :(
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] chavist:
This ROM rocks, adding the opera mini to it makes it so much more efficient. The only thing that would have made this the perfect ROM would have been Today Agenda, but I have the .cab for it. Great work and all the keyboards work.:cool:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] timace:
NO SNAP SHOTS YET??? WAITING ANXIOUSLY...FIRST TIME FLASHER, THIS ROMS GONNA POP MY CHERRY...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] chavist:
Scroll Bars

Does anyone know how to move the scroll bars from today screen.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
Another amazing release. Thanks ttran!

DUMB question

My upgrade went smooth but how do i access the battery status. I don't see any battery gauge?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] drewdown227:
go to personal settings today and you have to select it on your today screen
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] clifton23:
great rom man! I have 2 questions..

1. The slimline had a roladex type setup on the contacts page. The biggy version doesn't have that, or maybe it does I just dont know how to enable it...

2. How can I change the backround image?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
do not want
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] monkey_knight:
2.7 works pretty well...i'm satisified...covers the basics of what i need...improvement over the stock t-mobile...and has some games to kill time when needed...and the wm5torage to sneak in some portable apps at work...lol...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] plainbad:
mms issue

Didn't work. I also tried flashing again and re did network wizard. MMS still going to outbox. If I close and open messaging a few times mms will finally be sent. Can't figure out how to access mms config. Any other advice. Thanks in advance
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] cangri87:
same here.. my MMS isnt working neighter.. i get the same thing u get.. :(
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I was trying to fix the small photo issue and must have messed up mms. I will post a test reg hack tomorrow and would like folks to verify it working befor recooking.

Sorry folks,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] drewdown227:
hey i just ran network wizard selected t-mobile then restarted when it asked and sent a MMS and it worked perfectly. My girl has the same exact phone and lives with me so i can confirm i got it to work.

Perhaps try re running the network wizard i am running 2.7
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nuron:
Hi, I'm still on version 2.5. After I record something with the phone and try to play it, why does Windows Media say 'The source filter for this file could not be loaded'?

If I want to update to 2.7, I have to follow the 'already-has-Hard-SPL' directions right?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] drewdown227:
no you can use uspl same way you did 2.5 just make sure ou replace the 2.5.nbh wiht the 2.7nbh file in the RUU folder.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] plainbad:
MMS issue resolved

For me the MMS was not working even after hard reset. But this last flash I did not sync all prior files. I ran network wizard first then soft reset, and finally got MMS to go out immediately. No more outbox. Then I sync all my "can't live without" files. MMS still working. Hope this helps anyone with same issue.

Thanks alot 2.7 is now without issues
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] cangri87:
Ttran & drewdown

Ok srry for the other post.. i guess it didnt save the settings the first time i ran the network wizard. its working fine now had to re run the network wizard.. so u dont have to work on that MMS fix. Mr Ttran.. :D

one thing tho.. i guess the WSPHeader.cab

doesnt apply when u cook it with the rom.. but its all good i have the .cab file.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tipz:
I vote to remove voice dial.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tipz:
just a suggestion for first post to make it easier for user to decide which one to use. If you put the slim verison on the top then the link and then full version and only the extra stuff in that version. here is an example.

if you like i can format something and send you on the basis of current post

Slim Version

-app1

-app2

Feedback

Okay still using 2.5 Slim Line version. I flashed it to 4mb pagepool. Seems stable even when overclocked to 278.

Ran in some huge problems with Voice speed dial so I went into the registry and deactivated it. (problem is when I listen to streaming radio, it keeps pulling up voice speed dial -- extremely irritating. does it weather I'm streaming in TCPMP, Resco Radio, or Windows media player.)

I also have problem with HTC Home. again I went into registry and deactivated it.

Otherwise this ROM is running extremely well. I still Love It !!!!!!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] mikenaustin:
Button 5 Press & Hold Function

ttran001,

Love the open touch roms! I'm using 2.6 now and will upgrade soon to 2.7. The one thing I liked that some other roms had was the vibrate toggle for the press & hold function of button 5. It looks like you have it assigned to Voice Speed Dial.

I've tried CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.CAB and others but they don't seem to override the setting that's cooked in. Can you guide me as to how I can change that to the vibrate toggle? Is it a registry change?

Thanks!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] The Hoss:
Really liked 2.5, and almost reflashed this afternoon. Didn't care for 2.6 for the little time I did get to play with it. Thanks for bringing quick menu back. 2.7 flashed fine, and is my favorite so far. Best rom I've used yet!

Great job,

-Zach
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Lorall:
Great ROM

Great job again on the ROM. Been flashing and following since 2.4 and 2.7 is great. Still test driving and tweaking it for my needs, but many thanks for sharing your talent.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
How come mine works fine?

Edit: My pictures are coming in full screen too.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] cangri87:
one question for ya.. did u install the WSPHEADER.cab?

or did u modify anything after flashing? cause i receive MMS now.. but their small snap shots.. i had to Install WSPHEADER.cab for it to make the pic bigger. Now their fine.. but like i said i had to install the .cab file
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] himmatwala:
Hi ttran..

I installed the 2.7 biggy. Here are the issue which I found.

1) Directpush: I have to manually run activesync to get my emails from the exchange server.

2) Opera Mini does not connect to the internet.

I am using proxy. Internet Exp works fine.

Do you have any idea about the above issues.

Thanks again for the great and fast ROM.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
No...it may be due to the camera of the phone that I am sending the pictures to my phone with. I have no idea though. I will see if I can find someone else to send me a picture.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] monkey_knight:
dunno about direct push, but i didn't have any problesm with the opera mini. i think it had trouble connecting the first time, but that's because i think it was installing itself...it worked fine afterwards...and i'm actually considering getting the internet plan, because it's so easy to browse with opera mini (compared to pie).

only quirky thing is that after a hard reset, overclocking with batterystatus seems a little buggy...usually have to play around with it a little...change the clock speed from the today screen drop down options...go into options from the settings->personal->today screen...and then it finally takes. (for some reason, if you just go to the settings->personal->today screen options menu and try to change the clock speed in the omap section, it doesn't take properly). otherwise, i haven't noticed any issues with the basic functions that i use. definitely like the look compared to the 2.5 version...htc home plugin looks good...was good to remove the time in the start bar (by default...i usually turned it off manually anyway...so one less step after a hard reset). :p

the only steps i'll need to take in the future is debating the hardspl option...and updating the radio. :p
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
There isnt a debate. HardSPL is awesome and so is the new radio. I highly recommend it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Not sure why folks are having issues with opera mini connecting.

The first time you run it, it has to install itself. The best way to do this is to connect it to your desktop via activesync if your having network issues.

Once it completes the install your pretty much set.

As for the directpush mail, I will have to look into this since I don't use it at all.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
the only steps i'll need to take in the future is debating the hardspl option...and updating the radio. :p[/QUOTE]

The main reason I added a version with the radio is because some folks complianed that my rom caused them to have bad reception.

Even though I have never included the radio with my roms they still complained about my rom.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to stop creating newer versions..

Its more of folks not understanding and blaming stuff that does not make any sense.

If you flash my rom without the radio included then you will still have the same radio version that was originally on your device.

Why upgrade the radio version?

Why not...!

When you get better reception? Thats a no brainer to me..

As for the HARD SPL, I don't see why folks don't just do it.

It's free and works just fine, I've had no issues every since I updated my phone along with the 10+ phones I've done for friends and family members.

People are paying 35+ dollars to have their phones CID unlocked when the HARD SPL does it for free...

Anyways,

To each their own and that's why I included a version without the radio added and will also continue to do so going forward.

Enjoy,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Plans for today

Folks,

Here are my plans for today:

Finish up the SlimLine version

Reup another version without voice speed dial

Start thinking about v3.0, which I want to make even better than v2.7.

Regards,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] himmatwala:
Hi ttran..

are you going to upload the 2.7 biggy with Net CF 3.5 today?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] prscott1:
Wow!

Ttran - you are one amazing chef!

I flashed 2.7 with new radio and have been testing the apps and haven't had any problems. the speed on my wing has never been better. BTW, Opera Mini works great for me (slow on first install, but great thereafter). All bluetooth functions work as expected, video streaming from youtube great, my personal apps (video commander, sling player) work great too!

Look for my $mall gratitude in your paypal.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I forgot to list that as well, yes I will upload a version with NetCF 3.5

I've tested both and really dont see that much of a difference in the speed.

I mainly see the issues that NetCF 3.5 causes since it does not support some of the other apps.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] beowolf:
is there an easy way to reinstall apps? I have Open Touch 2.5 and I installed a tons of programs, including finally getting Voice Command to work and I loathe going back to reinstalling everything.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Sorry,

The only way I know is to install via cabs.

Can you list the apps your using, maybe others want them as well.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Thank you for the donation, it always means a lot to me.

Also,

Can you and other please verify that Windows Live\IM are working correctly.

They do for me and I wanted to make sure that they work correctly for others.

Thanks again,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] monkey_knight:
*sigh*...not trying to debate the hardspl issue. i had one question, i'm just waiting on more feedback before i go for it. it seems a viable option...only had one question that i have yet to receive a confirmation. already private messaged ttran about it...and i'll send you the same inquiry...i've been checking the stickied hardspl thread too...but no one is answering it...or have given any confirmation on a success. (essentially, I'm a chicken, and wait for the success stories of others before i take a chance myself...a bit of a calculated risk)

the radio...would definitely be worth it, if you read through the thread for improvements. some are just of the...if it ain't broken, then don't fix it...lol...(this all comes from past experience with the t-mobiel mda/wizard...from reading all the threads with the whole slew of radio roms that had come out over the past 2 years...some from cingular, some from t-mobile, some from att, some from some carriers in europe...and back then, it caused some minimal problems for some...basic gist...was changes in obtaining a single from going to an area without to an area with...or some issues with data speeds...etc)

but anyway, i'll toss ya' the private message.

rom works well...no complaints...i just look forward to the new roms, because it's just comforting to know that bugs are worked out (even if I never knew they existed). :p
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] prscott1:
windows live \ IM work fine for me! Many, many thanks again for your efforts and time.

speaker volume

ok...noticed one thing...just a minute ago...while using the phone...probably a quirk on my phone...or i'll have to hunt down the regedit for it (change to "cc" somewhere)...but speaker volume seems to have go down compared to the 2.4 and 2.5 versions. (this is based on flashing the phone last night with the 2.7 biggy w/o radio).

just figured i'd through that out there. :p but it's manually fixable so not as big a deal. :p (i'm too cheap to buy a bluetooth headset for when i'm driving...considering that it seems to be legal to just have the phone on speaker phone...since it's still "hands free driving"...lol)

2.7 rad

ttran this rom is great i flashed the new radio and works great. once you cook without the voice dial i think it will be perfect.

the quickmenu seems to fix the freezing problem i was having with htc enlarge start. i havent had any freeze ups yet.

i only have to load 3 cabs with your rom which is awesome i remember the old days where i would have like 30 cabs to load haha

great work man

Voice speed dial

Voice speed dial is history....

Left the 5th button free, choose what you want it to point too.

Up in about 45 min or so..

SlimLine will be up around 3:00PM today..

Also,

Has anybody even notice the animated splash screen?

Hang tight folks,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Debdrup:
I still for once just hope to see one that works for the Herald, and not just the Wing - I wouldn't mind waiting for 3.0 if you can have it out as soon as you release the Wing version (or wait with the Wing until you have the Herald version ready)..

I may be a noob and all, but as far as I've understood HardSPL is that it is basically just like flashing to the original rom from HTC in that it's not as easy to brick your phone when doing it as it is with previous roms (I bricked mine once, though I did recover it quite easily, thanks to proper documentation)..

On a slightly related note, since I haven't had a chance to peek at any readme files for installing Herald (nor have I bothered downloading it for the Wing since I don't need it), is there a full guide to doing it included in the file? A readme.txt or similar which describes what to do like there was (or is, I dunno) with Touch-IT? I'm just curious because that'll make it so much easier for me to flash without having to ask stupid questions which I'd rather avoid (myself being a software developer, working on .net c#, I know how annoying people can be)..

Anyway, your stuff looks AMAZING! If I wasn't a poor sod of a student with a complete lack of money, I'd definitely donate - that isn't saying much since I can't show my actual appreciation, but still, it's worth it if I could spare anything - and I might be able to next month, so keep up the good work :)
