Touch Flo

Hi Alex

Firstly got to say the ROM's you've been cooking are brilliant!! I'm completely new to all of this and have found it so easy to do that it's unbelievable :-).

I'm using the latest WM6 Home ROM on the Kaiser (obviously lol!) and noticed a couple of bugs:

- Call / End call button don't work on the dialer screen, have to go into Call History and call from there

- Handsfree with radio doesn't work despite flashing with a new ROM (any suggestions)

- Can't highlight multiple texts

Wondering if there are any fixes?

Also, is there any news on when the Touch Flo ROM is coming. Everything else is fab, honestly do love this ROM (it's the longest I've kept one!!) but like Touch Flo feature.

Thanks

Failed Kaiser ROM upgrade and boot loop

OK...went back and read through some other threads and found lots of things to try. I was finally able to fix this loop by...using Mtty.exe and the boot command to bring the phone back to life...however..after any reset it would go back to the tri color screen and the spl version listed as 1.56.00 0000, and everything i tried resulted in a comm error. I used MTTY.exe to get back to the OS and tried to upgrade to the factory ROM...Comm error...MTTY and Boot again...copied JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to the phone again..ran the file from explorer...AND then ran a kaiser_hardSPL_1.0 upgrade successfully and everything seems to be working again!! Thanks for the tip on looking for the factory ROM again...led me to this solution!!:D:D:D

Can't see the network name (blank)

Hi Alex

My phone can't see the name of O2 network, it’s blank, And also the spot with the name is blank when I search manually the network. I can choose it, no problem, but I have to choose blank spot as network.. He can see others. But if I use the O2 (my home network) on the HTC home screen instead of the network name is written Home and on my SPB Phone suite says Service unavailable. But I am logged on my O2 network.

I have second PDA with WM5, without any problems can see the network name as well the SPB suite is fine.

Is there any registry hack, which prevent to see the network name in this ROM? I did hard and soft reset, no change. I do have installed the HTC Home customizer , could he has to do something with it?

Hi Alex,

I am using the HTC Lite ROM on an AT&T Tilt 8925. This ROM is absolutely perfect for me - thanks! Everything is working great except that recently I cannot email, set up a new account, or edit email accounts.

All of these worked previously so not sure what I did to disable these (though it was obviously something I did).

Do you (or anyone else) have any registry tweaks or other ideas to enable these functions again?

Thanks very much.

Oh yes, many times :-) Trying to avoid a hard reset, but don't know how to backtrack or dig for the fix. I have already uninstalled my apps, but no luck - still cannot restore email reply, new email account, or email account edit. I have even used SKTools to clean out invalid registry entries and values.

I may just hard reset this weekend if I cannot find an answer. Thanks for the great ROM!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I don't have any advice to help you fix the problem, but you may want to try to use something like setting saviour to back up specific registry settings for your next flash...

Side question, but what did you do to get yourself in this state? Did you perhaps restore a backup from another ROM to this one?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] :
Nothing dramatic, that's for sure. I've only had the device for two weeks. It came with the stock AT&T ROM, then I flashed to your ROM, set up my email, was able to do everything including reply/new account/edit account, continued to tweak the device with my favorite apps, etc., and recently those 3 particular email-related functions ceased to work. There was no restore from a previous backup, and I don't do a lot of flashing anyway because I tend to research potential ROMS quite a bit before flashing (plus I hate taking 5 days out of my life to tweak to my "perfect" setup again ;-) ). I can't really pinpoint what app installation or registry tweak may have caused this because those 3 functions worked about 10 days ago (plus I use a handful of very stable apps, and I don't do too much registry tweaking).

Not a big deal. I will just hard reset this weekend and test those email functions after each app install and the few registry tweaks I usually do to see if I can pinpoint the issue. I was just hoping someone else may have come across a similar issue in the past.

Thanks for your replies, and again thanks for the great ROM!

Other than these.. Please forgive me I am a noob.. I have read all the threads related to your roms and not found the answers.

1. What do I do to get rid of the little rainbow color at the top of the screen?

Did I not align correctly?

2. No matter what I do MMS says out of memory there is nothing running..

Alex - just flashed my AT&T tilt for the first time with your 1.62 ROM & everything went pretty smoothly. I was having a problem getting past the first screen of the RUU with a data error of "ERROR 260" . Searching came up with very little info on this other then trying another computer (didn't have one available), disable firewall and virus program (didn't help). Finally I came across a poster that said he moved his cable to another USB port on the same computer and it worked. Didn't seem like it could be that easy, but I tried it and, amazingly ... that was it! After that the flashing was quick & easy. I have reinstalled everything & I am finding everything running faster and smoother - quite happy with this ROM.

Thank you Alex & I have already made a donation.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] MobilePhoneUser:
Me too please :D

Or as a (better) alternative, can you post all the cabs that you've installed on all your different variants. That way all we need is your ultraclean version and then can pick and choose the specific programs that we'd like to install. This would both give us more options in creating the perfect system and and you'd only really need to create one variant, the ultraclean :).

Upgrading question...

Hey Alex -

Great work, BTW... I've been using your WM6 Lite ROM for most of the last few weeks and am very happy with it, but I'm interested in upgrading to the 6.1 ROM. If I do an SPB backup of all of my stuff, upgrade the ROM, and restore back everything, are there any 'gotchas' that I should be concerned about? Do you have a 6.1 ROM that is a mirror of the 6 Lite ROM so the apps haven't changed much?

Thanks,

Alex did some battery testing for you with AT&T HOME version

Alex,

I am have been doing some testing with batteries and radio/rom's to see how they operate as far as operation longevity. Let me just say that this one with radio 1.27.14.09 has beat them all in comparison to Dutty's DualTouch v4 with HTC radios.

Check my signature for the full test but her is the synopsis of the testing.

I did some testing with an app called BattBench .NET The program measure battery life from how long your phone would last by running down the battery to a desired amount of percentage and testing it. I ran these test 5 times with each radio so I could get an average of the test.

I tested these radios while the phone was laying on my desk and was receiving about 55-70 % signal strength the entire time on the AT&T Edge Network. Never tried it with 3G.

Dutty's DualTouch v4.

radio 1.27.12.11 - The estimated Battery life (from 0 to 100%) of this battery, working in this conditions is: 363.8 min.

radio 1.27.12.17 - The estimated Battery life (from 0 to 100%) of this battery, working in this conditions is: 321 min

radio 1.27.15.32 - The estimated Battery life (from 0 to 100%) of this battery, working in this conditions is: 227.2 min.

radio 1.27.12.32 - The estimated Battery life (from 0 to 100%) of this battery, working in this conditions is: 320.5 min.

radio 1.27.11.31 - The estimated Battery life (from 0 to 100%) of this battery, working in this conditions is: 308.5 min.

Alex AT&T Home V5 ROM with:

radio 1.27.14.09 - The estimated Battery life from (0 to 100%) of this battery, working in this condition is: 419.4 min.

I am running Dutty's V4 now, but I am having issues so I am going to give your AT&T version a shot when I get home. My question is, can I load a theme on top of it, I prefer the digital "lcd" clock style over the chrome one you have in this ROM.

Thanks,

Hey guys what are the benefits to the HTC 1.81 as compared to the older 1.56?

Also I added the animated.gif htc logo in the windows directory and enabled it in the registry but it is not showing up like it has done on previous roms I have added it to. Any ideas?

Is there any way to get the band selection tab in an AT&T rom? I enabled it in KaiserTweak but it still doesn't show up.

No Error Reporting

I think it is also a good idea to take out the "Error Reporting" stuff to free up some more storage space.

In your previous version there was "Error Reporting" which won't be useful anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Wow, that's amazing, a whole 40-90 minutes depending on which radio. I'm interesting to see if its really the radio or newer drivers in the OS.

Thanks for your findings!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I've begun doing diffs to determine the differences between 1.81 and 1.56 and noticed some significant changes to backlight.dll, battdrvr.dll, ddi.dll, phonesetting.dll, qctdrv.dll, rilphone.dll tnetw1251.dll.

I've never successfully been able to enable the band selection tab on AT&T, but I've only taken a cursory glance at it. I have a couple of fixes needed for the AT&T ROMs, so I'll take a look at it when I'm done with HTC 1.81.

edit2: Forgot to include gif animation at startup. You can add the following in regedit. Opt out of the wavefile & volumn if you don't want sounds.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\animated.gif"
"WAVFile"="\\Windows\\startup.wav"

Error reporting the control panel setting is still in. However, the files DW.EXE, dwui.dll, dwxfer.dll and the registry entries have been removed. So, if you were to enable it, it wouldn't work.

Cube HTC 6.1 ROM Available?

Alex,

Looking for my next ROM. Read your wiki and it looks all very promising.

Some questions:

- When do you expect the Cube ROM to be available?

- Do you plan to add s2u as well?

- Will it have a 6.1 variant?

- Are you planning to make it UC compatible? Or you think Tier auto-install is better?

Alex,

I first would like to say thank you again for the Packages and KitchenFiles...THey have become a delight to use, but I think my wife is going to leave me.

Ok....here are my questions....

1. I have taken the original HTC rom and dumped it, using the Kitchen I am able to make the ROM that I want but there are a few problems.

(a) when dumping the rom, get a warning when trying to delete temp xip modules .bat???? If I close this window all seems to go well but this is annoying???? any ideas why this is happening.

2. I try to make a package but when I rename the folder to coincide with your packages folder it does not show up??? FOr example... made a simple package with Rename Softkeys from a cab. Tried to place it in the APPS section of the packages and it won't work??

3. After hours of looking through the latest ATT ROM, 1.62, I noticed a lot of things that are not able to be activated without using the package folder... for example....FieldTest and HSPDA are both in the ROM, but not able to be executed in my rom... So my question is do you have a registry file that would show me what needs to be changed in .rgu files to activate the hidden HTC stuff in the ATT rom after I dump it???

Thanks so much for your time and I have really tried to do alot of this on my own, but some things are just really confusing me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Home & UltraClean AT&T 1.62 is UC compliant and also has Tier auto-install, just haven't had the time to tell Sleuth255.

Cube & other versions are all on indefinite hold. I wouldn't include S2U2 because it updates too often, besides, it's easy enough to install as a cab with Tier auto-install.

As for when 6.1 is out, I'm taking a break from cooking, until AT&T releases a 6.1...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Wrong thread, but I'll answer anyway. Next time, please ask these questions in the cooking kit or tutorial threads, thanks!

you'll need to provide text dumps or screenshots for someone to assist. Please do so in one of the other threads

You'll definitely need to provide screenshots, as I have no idea what you're trying to do. :D You should be editing your initflashfiles.txt in your OEM package to include a line that copies your .lnk to \windows\start menu\programs\apps. Don't reply here about this either :)

Did you extract this ROM yourself or are you looking at the base rom folders I've provided? By extracting the ROM, you pretty much negate my base ROM folder work. So, you're basically working with the original ROM....

Hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
It is recommended not to restore any backup from one ROM to another, unless you know exactly *WHAT* you need to back up and restore (e.g., registry hive information, specific files, etc.). If you don't, do not restore as it will most likely make your phone unusable until you hard reset, or introduce all sorts of other fun bugs.

Automatic ROM Configuration

Hello,

I am starting to use your ROM, and I must say I am quite impressed with all the features. Congratulations for a very nice and compelte work.

I have a few questions though:

I am in particular most interested to make my ROM as automatically configured as possible.

1- I can install cabs with autoinstall, great stuff!

2- I have a lot of exe files as well, to be installed form my PC through USB. Is there an easy way to extract cab files from those?

3- I understand the ROMs are also UC compliant, so I can use this to move files around and change Registry values. One quesiton I have is whether there is an easy way to track all changes in registry made with Kaiswer Tweak and other apps and export that into a reg file that I can then transfrom into XML with the regu2xml tool. Any hint?

Thanks a lo for any help on this.

PS: Not as important, but: Any chance to get the longress key applications running, like in Schap's and DCS ROMs?

Thanks! Glad to see another person enjoying my work!

In Windows XP, all your cabs are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Activesync, in individual subfolders. They should be somewhere on Vista too, but I'm not sure where.

You can use task manager to export the entire registry before you make your changes, and export again after you make your changes. Then use a file comparison utility, such as windiff to compare the differences of the two dumps.

Yes! It's included now in my v5.2 ROMs.

Favorites at home screen

I just installed the v5.2 Cube ROM, and have a question about the HTC Home app. I can't seem to get the Favorite Contacts button to show up. I have a contact, I added them to my favorites with the contacts manager, but the favorite button still doesn't show on the home screen.

Oh, one more question, noticed this in 5.1 and 5.2. In the AT&T stock ROM, when I hit the X in the upper right to close the application, the application exits. In your ROMs, when I hit the X, it goes back to the home screen but leaves the application running.
