Windows Media Player

Did no one in beta testing or even now find a problem with WMP not playing *any* video? I can play the files just fine with TCPMP. :confused:
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Thank You & Good Luck!

Hi NiTrogenious

Thank you and thank you again. This is one great home-brewed ROM.

Wish you good luck in the army.

Take care.

Thank you so much for your work. I really enjoy to use my Torndao again!!

havent test it but ihope its like the guys are sayng and im hoping thats the rom kitchen get finished fast
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@illi, i'm only reporting the experience i had, i kept thinking one of my installation cause the "Sounds" to not work. Only after i restored the Volatile tweak back to it's place, they worked again.

When i put "Sounds" i'm talking about the Ringtones selection settings, when i've pointed the Volatile to my SD card (also, did not remove the original) then none of them would play and i get the error "corrupt or unavailable" even though the files were playable and available using any other player including wmp itself.

I've just given my personal experience, after flashing twice because this error.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
@Sefy

Quite strange. Our experiences differ. I thought my experience will help you. Hope this new release dont have too much issue.

I am flashing the ROM now.

Shall report accordingly.

Thanks Sefy
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@illi, what i report is from this release as well, as soon as i've used to tweak to move the Volatile to my Storage Card then none of the ringtones would play. As soon as i restored it to the original place, it started working again :confused:
[HTC Tornado] ciccio83a:
Nice Rom :d
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Did you create the directory on the Storage Card? The temp dir should exist, it is not autocreated!

I hope not many issues will be appeared. Thank you all for testing. And of course, any donation would be appreciated. :rolleyes:

PS. This is my last post before my departure... Goodbye, guys! :(

Unable to play mid files

The ROM is great and thanks Nitro for the Hard work. However, I am having an issue

setting mid files as ringtone. When I select it, it says as "Corrupt or Not Available". I tried moving the mid files to storage card but still no luck. Is any one able to set mid files as ringtone.

Media Playback, DRM errors, and CE App errors

As I posted before this ROM creates an error when attempting to play DRM header files with Windows Media Player (WMP). The error is: "An unknown error 0X800700C1 has occurred". Platnum SP1 install does not fix this problem. I have tried WMP and Coduits Pocket Player. I did find that if you move the WM5 codec files into the WMDRM subdirectory on the storage card then Pocket Player will play the DRM files. I am sure that the WM9 codecs are missing for WMP also, but have been unable to find a subdirectory in the WMP path. I have tried /Windows, /windows/system, and /program files/windows media player. Does anyone know where to put the files?

Also, The ROM creates CE system errors anytime WMP or Pocket Player is running as a background task. If you start WMP, then hit home button and then hit a programmed button, you will get a CE application error. My button 3 is task manager. When I hit it, then: "Celestask is not a valid CE application" error pops up and locks up my phone. The phone does this anytime a media player is open. If you first close the media player, then all works fine.

Thanks in advance for any ideas that will remedy this problem.
[HTC Tornado] tseten:
anyone know what the G and E signs mean ?

i noticed that with this new rom on the top of the screen i have a G^ type of picture on the top.. sometimes it is E^.

Im guessing that is GPRS and EDGE... but how do i stop that because i dont use GPRS or EDGE connections for anything.. even for browsing i use wifi only.

i just wonder if that might be slowing my ROM a bit. i also disabled the automatic weather download already.

any suggestions ?
[HTC Tornado] Lovetz:
tseten, E or G by the top of your screen just mean that you are at the territory that covered with EDGE or GPRS. This is not mean that you use this connections.
[HTC Tornado] tseten:
cool

thanks Lovetz..

the screen just keeps switching E and G and the arrow is upwards and sometimes it points down.. oh man confusing.

thanks anyway.

Stuck on bootloader

After flashing my phone with WM6 Platinum Edition 5.2.1711.18165.0.5.0 by NiTroGen My phone want start, only bootloader.
[HTC Tornado] Pulstar4:
Download an official update for your phone and flash it.
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
I had that problem too. After going crazy I noticed my right(cam button) soft key was stuck. After releasing the key, everything went smooth. Verify that you don't have any of the side keys depressed. Good Luck!!
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
It's possible that your flash failed. Reflash and sin no more.

The FakeCursor doesn't work, when I try to set it up in the windows settings "Hardware Keys". It tells me, that the FakeCursor doesn't exist. After I copied the FakeCursor.exe in the \ROOT\Windows directory, it works fine.

I also added the FakeCursor.exe in the attach files, for all who needs it.

Thanks for this nice room NiTroGen!

Missing icons in start menu

I tried installing Neo theme in tornado and it did not work properly. So i Uninstalled it. Now there are no icons in Start menu. How do I get them back, is there any registry tweak ?? Please help me.. as i dont want to hard reset the phone..
[HTC Tornado] Pulstar4:
Did you unlock your phone first? Did you follow the tutorial in this forum exactly? You sure you have a tornado?

Do a google search for club imate's ftp. There is an official rom on there for the sp5 that will flash your phone from the bootloader. You may need to disable activesync's usb connection first, but I'm not sure.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
You must type "info 2" before "format BINFS" ;)

A new version containing all fixes will be released tomorrow. Thank you all for the feedback. :)

Please "format BINFS" before installing any new ROM

. It will prevent any problems (slowdown, etc) from appearing.
[HTC Tornado] Lovetz:
NiTroGenious, thanks for your rom. When do you plan to release a constructor (kitchen) for your rom? Do you read about SGregory's rom? Your rom and his are the same version, is it possible for you add to your feature constructor NEO plugin from SGregory's rom? Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
You're welcome, Lovetz. I need to "optimize" my kitchen before I release it. Unfortunately, I'll be back home again in about one month, so please be patient.

I read about SGregory's ROM. I've already downloaded it and extracted the NEO plugin. Be sure that it will be included in the kitchen, but not in any of my future ROM releases (because of it's really big size).
[HTC Tornado] Lovetz:
NiTroGenious, thanks for your answer;-) I think you are right about neo plugin, there is no need include it to the rom. With kitchen everybody can decide by itselfes what to do with neo.

Good luck;-)
[HTC Tornado] spacegravity4me:
Ok, so I downloaded the rom last night and installed it. It's the first time I've ever done this but it was pretty smooth. Wm6 is great and the rom is too but I do have some complaints. I'm just going to list them briefly and if anyone can give me some answers to fix them I'd greatly appreciate it.

1. It's SLOWWWW! Wm5 had a hickup every now and then but this is ridiculous. It's not unusable but it is becoming slightly impractical. It has its good times but when it's bad it is bad!

2. 3rd part software. I think this may be one reason things are so slow, but I haven't the slightest idea. I don't know if it's possible to delete the 3rd party software but I'd love to know how.

3. There is an annoying beep every time the phone goes idle.

4. The volume of the opening and closing sound is uncalled for and just ain't gonna work!

5. I don't seem to have the option of having a "long press" on the comm button. That is what I usually use to activate microsoft voice command.

6. Oh, I just remembered! Whenever I open a program, just before the window shows up, I see a box in the middle of the screen that gets bigger really really quickly. It's annoying and doesn't make things seem very complete.

7. That stupid "clock on top" only displays in 24 hour time!

8. What happened to the stock task manager?

9. What the eff is "hibernate" and why do I need it?

10. What is with all the various bluetooth programs and can they help me snarf cause I think it is fun! (only as an experiment, never for evil purposes. why would I wanna call or email someone named "lashonda jackson" anyway???)

11. What is omap clock and is an overclocking tool? If so, can't I screw up my device if I do that without knowing what I'm doing???

12.WM5 storage???

Other than that, and I don't mean this sarcastically, I love it! :) I'd like to love it more, so if you will please excuse all the noob questions and help me out I'd greatly, mucho, uber, boss appreciate it! Then, I can get on with my life cause I have a ton of hw for school. Ty, SPACE. Sorry this was so long.:D
[HTC Tornado] spacegravity4me:
mebs.... This has become unbearably frustrating! I need some help... stat.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
One friendly advice. Either you go back to the previous ROM or you read the whole thread and other threads relating to cooked ROMs too. he answers are there.

I am sorry I am busy too to spoon-feed.

[HTC Tornado] KEROLiUKAS:
If you do not want to include it in your rom, can you please release it as a cab? Right now, i'm on SGreogory's ROM, and I'm liking NEO, but I'm missing some applications, such as the dopod sim manager etc. Or maybe can you release the applications included seperately?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Those apps are available elsewhere. Have you tried searching?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Ensure that any programs you installed after flashing your ROM were installed to storage, not device.

Navigate into the phone's startup folder and delete any non-OS lnk files, like the cursor or copy paste apps.

Use the tweaks included in the Start, Settings to adjust your phone.

Power off the phone, restart the phone and then insure that you use Celetask to close/terminate programs when you stop using them as opposed to leaving them running (most programs do not actually shut down so stay around leaching resources). Make sure that Celetask is set to close when you select an app in Celetask, otherwise, exit Celetask by Menu, Exit.

Lastly, please start reading the forums on your own before crying for help.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I have updated the ROM:

If you decide to install it,

please "format BINFS" before the update procedure

to prevent any problems from appearing. If you encounter any slowdowns, please reinstall the ROM. It is tested on my T-Mobile SDA (US) and it's fast and stable.

Please read the forums before reporting that my ROM ...sucks! :p

And don't forget to donate. I had 3 days off from my military service and I spent almost one of them on this ROM. :rolleyes:

Problem after install

I installed your rom yesterday and I love the new look however now I have no sounds at all.

Whenever I go to the sounds list to asign a sound to the ringtone, text, and email messages I get an error saying the ringtone is corrupted....

Problem is every ringtone I choose is corrupted so at this time I have no sound so I am missing a ton of calls and messages.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this...

I thank you in advance for your assistance.

Jess
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Have you installed any other audio playing application, or is this after a fresh flash?

I also suggest you reflash, and ensure that you "format BINFS" to ensure proper flashing of your device. Try to use your ringtones, etc, before installing any other applications.
[HTC Tornado] jessepatty:
No I have not installed anything other then the ROM. The sounds worked fine for the first few hours then just quit working.

I used activesync and transfered the windows sounds to my computer and they play fine so I am not sure what has happened....everything worked fine with the orignal WM6 that was posted. I upgraded to the SP1 to fix the Windows media player not staying in full screen mode and the long volume down not activating the voice software. Both those issues work good now but I lost my sound...

I'm going to keep tinkering with it... I'm new at all this and I'm afraid i'll brick it if I keep flashing it...

thank you.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Follow the directions and it will be unlikely.
[HTC Tornado] Bayazz:
If it dosnt say "supercid" after typing "info 2", is it still possible to format the phone?
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
You can format the filesystem (NOT the phone or you'll brick it) of any non-supercid phone, but you will not be able to install any other ROM than the official.
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
i realy want this rom but i have flashed the neo rom but how do i have neo on this rom i have searshed for a plugin but not sucsess
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
You read. At this time, you don't. When Nitro releases his kitchen you will be able to install.

Neo takes up a lot of space. Similar to installing Facade,
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
Hello guys, can i update just the radio and SPL (No idea what the SPL does) w/o having to flash?

@Nitro: thanks for sharing with us your days off.

@Exitao: thanks for being around too help us out.

One more Q... I need a new D-PAD(MOUSE) Any one knows Where can I get them.? I've tried HTC, E-Bay and searching googles w/o luck.
[HTC Tornado] Brownfinger:
Sounds, ringtones and WMP

Seems I suffered from the same problem as Sefy, ie no ringtones, SMS tones etc. Even just looking at the Sounds control panel (making no changes) resulted in a 'corrupt file' or 'wrong format' error. Checked Core Player hadn't stolen the file associations, then tried Windows Media Player. That's when I realised it wouldn't start, so figured the two problems were connected.

Anyhow, installed the SP1.cab and it cured everything, and feels a bit faster!, then I read the thread. I had already moved the volatile folder to SD card, where it still is, so that was not the problem in this case.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Who me? I didn't do nuttin, nobody saw me do it and you can't prove nothing.

As for your d-pad, that sounds not good. Have you ever taken your phone apart? IRC the d-pad is soldered to the mainboard. Chances are that you will fry your board.
[HTC Tornado] deshwasi:
keypad phone becomes unresponsive sometimes

i had the SP1.cab installed since about 2 weeks ago when this came out. at least couple times (after the phone stays on for aa few days) the phone starts behaving erratically, with some keys not responding, and then eventually phone locking upo forcing a battery removal step. i did the BinFS steps before flashing and followed the guide etc.

is the Feb25 update any diff from original+SP1.cab ? the SP1 cab is the same size as it was 10 days ago. i am wondering if i need to reflash with the full rom or just run SP1.cab again? anyone had similar problems? i am probably going to flash it again with the latest updated rom just to be sure.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
This has been mentioned previously. It's not uncommon. Unless you are OCD about ending programs and freeing memory windows mobile will become erratic the longer it runs without reboot.

Personally, I power off my phone every night or second night and restart it before plugging it into the charger. Mostly just to be sure my alarm goes off in the morning.

There are those who will complain that they shouldn't have to reboot, but complaining doesn't fix it.
[HTC Tornado] deshwasi:
i see, just wanted to be sure its not the rom. do anyone know if all the latest updates upto Feb 25 are in the SP1.cab file as well? from the size it doesnt seem like it has been updated. i dont want to flash the whole thing unnecessarily.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I believe that the newest ROM has the SP1 fixes included. If you look at the ROM name, it is called SP1, instead of a ROM and an SP1 cab.

[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
Umm :confused: well to the best of my memory, the flat cable that comes out of the D-Pad goes to the keyboard. No idea if its a plug or welded. I've never removed the metal keyboard back cover. And both my SDAII's have problems with the D-Pad. :( I guess I'll have to start shopping on E-Bay for a parts phone with a good keyboard/mouse.

Edited to add: I'm a lucky camper, I just did a search in E-Bay and found a new vendor with plenty of parts for SDA's :) Search for Item number: 190198797944 There is my D-pad and keyboard assembly.
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
I agree 100% with Exitao. "Windows" Mobile is just like a home computer... Needs to be restarted oftenly to completly cleanout buffers, memory, etc. Also, before you reboot(restart)the phone, turn off your bluetooth headset if using one, then turn it back on after the phone has restarted. It avoids man conflicts with eratic bluetooth behaviours such as not re-dialing or not hanging up calls.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
My bad. I don't remember my stick being loose from the board. Unless I'm thinking about some other gadget, but I have a vague recollection of using canned air on it when I changed the window.

SPBattMeter by Saman-cz

@Nitro

I think this battery meter is better than the one already installed in ROM. When charging it turns blue. It also displays both on the home screen and in applications. If only the original battery indicator can be removed:cool:

Hope you can include this one instead in your next ROM.

@Exitao

You are very helpful being around guiding people. Keep it up.
[HTC Tornado] Dezamundano:
I'm totally agree. It displays in home screen and change the colour. It's best.
[HTC Tornado] tamanaco:
A couple questions...

1.- After installing this ROM I can not get access to all the folders in the root of my Tornado. Using Windows File Explorer while connected via WMDC 6.1. I can can see /, /Bluetooh, and /Storage folders, but when I access / (root) I can not see the Windows or Temp folders. I used to be able to browse the Windows folder on my Tornado with WM5 from my desktop.

2.- For some reason I can not get the start/shutdown animation and sound to work. I think I saw them and heard them the first time I booted, but now I just get the Qtek OEM screen and a beep at startup. I installed the sounds.cab that I thought have been removed by NiTro in the lastest ROM. I also tried disabling the OEM Animation using MobileConfig tool, but the changes won't stick.

Btw, I just realized that after I installed the latest NiTro SP1 ROM, I also installed the VM6PlatinumSP1.cab on top of it. I was following the instructions in the Step by Step guide and did not realized that that SP1 ROM includeded the fixes in that .cab . Could this be the source of these problems?

Thanks...

wifi bug...?

hi, what about wifi in this new update? i noticed that now i can´t connect to my w-lan router because my network-key doesn´t work any more... :confused:

thanks for your help!
[HTC Tornado] jessepatty:
You need to put the network key in the phone for it to connect. I have mine working fine.
[HTC Tornado] jessepatty:
Sounds like you need to "show hidden files and folders" for #1

There is a thread on this somewhere on here. I did it but cant remember how I did it.

I cant get the startup sounds in mine either but it doesn't make a differance to me if they work or not.

My phone is always on.
[HTC Tornado] tamanaco:
Thanks... I found the thread. In Vista besides having to select "Show Hidden Folder and Files" one must "also" DEselect "Hide protected operating system files"... No folders mentioned in the second choice... go figure.

I agree that the functionality of my phone is not affected by the statup sound/animation, but I had grown attached to the sound of a car starting and the sound of a car crash when I started and shutdown my phone.

Do you have the same issue with MobileConfig not being able to disable the OEM animations?

One more question... I also updated the radio to 4.1.13.28._02.61.01. With my old radio and VM5 my operator was identified as at&t now it's identified as Cingular... (I know is the same carrier) Under Networks when I click "Find a Network" or "Preferred Networks" at&t is not listed as an option. Is there another place where I should be looking to change this?

Thanks again...
[HTC Tornado] jessepatty:
Your welcome.

I believe (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) the OEM animations are installed somewhere else from the ROM. Not sure where but no matter what operating system I have installed the OEM animations still do their thing... Again, I leave my phone on 24/7 so I rarely see them.

I am not sure on your radio question..... My SDA shows my carrier with Cingular being a secondary carrier if mine is unavailable. I guess T-Mo and Cingular have some kind of agreement if I leave T-Mo service area.

Every once in a while my phone will beep telling me I left service area then beep again showing Cingular as my service, then a short time later it will go back into T-Mo service and show that on the screen.

Good Luck.... although I don't think I offered you and help lol. :o
[HTC Tornado] kutrie:
I made this, but my device can´t save the network key anymore....I must typing

it every time...

I dunno. Mine stores my network key fine. Maybe somebody else can chime in here and offer you some good advise.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

any tips?

thanks
[HTC Tornado] jessepatty:
Again, I don't know. Mine set up easily and works fine. It retrieves my email every 5 minutes.

Sounds like you might want to reflash the device and reinstall the ROM. sounds like it didn't install correctly or something.

@Nitro

Since WM 6.1 is now out (though it's for MotoQ) I did not flash this ROM. I anticipate you would cook a 6.1 instead. Any hope of having this 6.1?

Thanks & enjoy!!

Edit: Finally forced to flash this SP1 ROM coz LCMinutes hung up on me. When I reboot i got stuck at the splash screen. Reboot but still at splash screen.
