Good, b/c it's been raining alot here, I might need it lol. Is 10.8 as stable as 9.2? I noticed on 9.2 that the battery meter shows 100% all of the time. Just wanted to know if this is fixed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
It is by far the best rom by CRC .. go try it out!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Downloading now, will flash in a.m. It's getting late, and I don't want my wife to get mad!:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] washi:
just a quick question

im running crc9.2 atm and want to try this one out.

should i flash an original rom first or is it fine to flash 10.8 directly?

i only flashed 9.2 on this phone over the original. no other roms
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zathire:
Flash directly with 10.8 :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] washi:
yes hardspl is installed. im not that risk loving :)

i just wasn't shure. i have read here and there that intalling an original rom is needed. did not follow that topic much.

edit : grml you edited your post the moment i was answering to hardspl

I had the same problem this week. I noticed that my SPB Phone Suite profile icon was a "speaker", but it also had an asterik on the speaker. I didn't pay much attention and missed two phone calls; my phone was on silent.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
hmmm. 10.8 seems to work better than 9.2. A lot faster, and seems to be more stable. Pim backup gave me no problems, the battery meter WORKS, setup was a lot faster, and all of the cabs that I use installed flawlessly. I would have to say, good work CRCinAU. Still testing, but I would have to say that this should be r9.3, possibly r11 in the stable thread.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Fingers crossed

I think CRC will have this on stable release soon!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Oddly, the second splash screen quit, so did the sounds, also kaisertweak doesn't work anymore, but those are just minor problems that doesn't really matter. The os is still VERY stable. No hangs or crashes, package it it's done. any more developement would be pointless. I've took it apart, the ROM is the closest to the official release I've seen so far.;) BTW, ICS works perfectly, no wierd disconnects, check usb cable, or cannot correct for unknown reason. I'm glad to see thats fixed also :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Zero|Cool:
hey u guys! is it just me or when the device is on standby mode (and bt options are on including the one that says to allow other devices to find our) can other devices find ur phone via bluetooth? my other devices can find my tytn only when it is on... this is actually a big problem because everytime I try to connect my bt headset I have to turn on the pda first! I already tried to change those power configs in advanced settings but with no success... does anyone have a solution for this?

btw my radio rom is 1.48.00.10 I don't know if it has anything to with...

Hey, so, I'm finally getting some time to do this suggestion above - but when I went to grab the link to the "shipped rom" on his sig, it's now gone.... so.... I'm wondering what is suggested to flash before I flash over th new CRC v11?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Your original shipped rom list on wiki is here
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Great, another stable one.... More flashing for me:p. When can we see another, perhaps 12 in the development stage? Looking forward to it, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CRCinAU!!!!!:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cozbaldwin:
Would you believe after all that, I am still having the same issue?

(If you dont remember, its that after switching back from vibrate all day to sound, it continues to stay on vibrate.) Must be some sort of problem with my unit, I guess, but its unrelated to this ROM so I'll post it elsewhere to see if anyone else experiences this. Thanks for the help along the way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thedogger:
Hey Coz - I've got the same issue on CRC Release 11. Switch vibrate, switch back to normal, phone spontaneously switches to silent / vibrate later on in the day. Do you have SPB mobile shell 2.1 installed by any chance? I've got that on mine, not sure if it's related or not.

nope, I only have this rom in there -- although I do have spb time installed (i need custom alarm sounds, dammit!) -- but for me it doesnt switch on its own, its when i try to go back to Sound-ON mode, it doesnt. I have to force it on by playing the ringtone. otherwise, it wont make any sounds.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Release 12 is now available.

Changes:

Release 12.0 (04 Jul 2008):

* Repack Office 2007 to hopefully fix some issues.

* Reduce X-Button auto-close threshold to 2Mb free RAM (Thanks hardcore)

* Revert to older Bluetooth stack for testing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Downloading now, will be testing shortly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Unfortunately I found a bug, WMP crashes when trying to open mms, can't view pics via mms either, also what would the reg value to limit data auto disconnect time to one minute? KaiserTweak isn't compatible with this release. I had the same problems w/ release 11, but was able to resolve them, however my pc crashed and i lost all of my notes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hamster0914:
WMP seems to lose sight of the SD card after a while. I try rebuilding the index, but it never recognises anything on it. I can play files from the SD card (2GB) by choosing them directly in File Explorer, but HTC Audio Manager works fine, it never loses the card. I had thought it was something to do with power saving settings on the SD card, but if so, Audio Manager wouldn't work either.

Anyone else have the same issue?

Is there a new build of WMP you can put into the ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Phew I thought I was the only one, and I just don't bother with it. HTC Audio is the one I use now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Same here, the only bad thing is that audio manager screws with the mms so I am unable to use it, but on the other hand, my mms isn't working with this rom anyway. WMP crashes when trying to open mms. other than that, the rom seems pretty stable. I still can't find the reg edits I need for auto disconnect, still looking.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] michael.jtf:
the same issue here, try to fix it follow the steps list below(it works on my phone)

1, delete folder "Storage Card\MSMETADATA" (it is a hidden folder, must delete it with resco explorer or card reader).

2, run wmp goto liberary menu select "update liberary".
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
CRC,

i was very busy for the past few days . just wanted to report that i'm on CRC's 12.0 now and things are generally smoother and stabler than 11.0 !

just don't get it why u call this "developement" and that one "stable".

anyway, thanks a million for this perfect rom.

EDIT: BTW, were some people (including yourself) saying something about faulty battery.dll and the issue of not showing %100 charge ? Well, i had that issue in v11.0 but on v12.0 everything works perfect - right now the phone is connected to the laptop, the battery is fully charged and it shows %100 :)

Second EDIT: sorry for the battery part; i thought you guys were talking about the battery not reaching/showing %100 - but it seems you actually meant the sudden drop of battery status right after you unplug it after a full charge. mine also drops quickly to %99, and then %97. But that's it; the status stays on %97 for the normal while.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
Dear chef,

I'm very sorry if my post in thread 11.0 brought about any confusion. The reason I posted there was that i was "confused" :D So far as i can see, 12.0 is exactly 11.0 without the "excel" bug. (the 2MB threshold could be done by user as well).

Besides, 12.0's thread is just left alone. i mean there's seems to be no activity going on here.

i really don't know what to do. perhaps i should get back to 11.0 to be able to post and follow everybody's post there in that thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Apancho:
I just upgraded my ROM on my 8525 to Windows 6.1, release 12.0, then tried to re-install Live Search. The CAB downloaded successfully, and installed, but cannot open the program. Error message is as follows:

Can't find an Entry Point 'waveInOpen' in a PInvoke DLL 'coredll.dll'.

Any help would be appreciated...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mahd-leb:
this rom is the 1 that was the best for me and fitted wt i need bt am having a problem like i think its maybe application locked ...i copied a filed to start menu and iam tryna take it off and delete bt iam nt able to its giving access denied error dunno y
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Sounds like incompatibility issues with Live Search... the WM6.1 coredll.dll has probably changed, but the application has not..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Apancho:
Sorry, I'm new to this kind of development. I believe I understand what you are saying as far as the problem goes...but is there an easy fix, maybe a way to modify the coredll.dll, or am I SOL for now? I'm pretty sure I've heard of people with Windows Mobile 6.1 using Live Search already.... Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
From what I understand, SOL at the moment... See is there is an updated version or something similar...

What is happening is that LS is looking for a function called "waveInOpen" in the file coredll.dll. This obviously doesn't exist in this build of WM6.1, so it's failing.

A newer version may be built against a different DLL that has this function.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hier0glyphics:
I have to say that; I have seen and thoroughly tested a countless number of WM6.1 builds for a “certain” company, (which may or may not be based out of Redmond, WA ;) ) and CRCs WM6.1 v12.0 is hands down one of the most outstanding WM6.1 roms out for the Hermes.

I do have a signed NDA Contact so I am not sure what I can and can’t say (or if I can even post on this forum for that matter)…but I can say in v12.0, you got a lot of things right and in many ways made things better!!

Keep up the great work!!

Please Note: Just because I mentioned that I worked for MS, I want to make it clear that; I am in no way implying that I know more then anyone else about WM6/6.1…nor am I better then anyone or anything like that…

I sincerely, just wanted to further validate the authenticity and awesomeness of CRCs V12.0 rom!!:)

Also seeing how this is my first post….HI EVERYONE!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Release 12.1 is now available on the mirrors...

Changes:

Release 12.1 (10 Jul 2008):

* Removed useless Zip Viewer from Office CAB

* Updated Modaco NoData

* Defaulted OBEX transfers to ON (previously this was OFF)

* Removed Bluetooth FTP Client (Who really uses this? :))

Any issues, please post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Oh, and for those wanting to use Live Search - try this version and see if it works... I can't test it as I'm in Australia - and there's no support for my country :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
It seems that it was going to work if you don't install the 'update' then again I clicked on install and it gave that DLL error again. Oh well we can't have it down here anyway so no point in installing it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
So far so good with 12.1.

No issues on install, and another excuse to help me tweak my Sashimi setup to restore my installs/settings after ROM flashes (not sure why Sashimi hasn't gotten more coverage in the Hermes forums... shrug).

Any way to update the screen caps in post #4? I have 25.91M free after soft-reset and that is with some stuff installed. For better or worse I think folks do shop ROMs by the advertised memory footprint.

Still trying to understand how the dialers work. Flashed over from the latest DVH ROM, and the dialer there had no good way to get to contacts (until you had made and terminated a call)...installed multiple other dialers (maybe they were just skins over the same functionality) and never could remedy. Very much like that this dialer has the Contacts button from the get-go (might seem silly, but its the little things in life)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mahd-leb:
crc your roms are great and fast but like the guy above mentioned they have incompatibility issues with livesearch even the .cab u possted didnt work .....it would also be great if the rom had java midlet in it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
The suggestion was to come here for a better bluetooth stack than CRC's stable and 11.

I like it much better. The sound is vicious. The connection was instant as soon as I connected the Plantronics 590A.

Much love to zocster and of course to CRC!

Hi CRC,

Unfortunately I still have the same issue I did with V11 and V12 and now V12.1.

I've found an order in which I can get the thing paired up fairly consistently now, but still no go with the dialup stuff.

I've got a third PC which I've managed to get things working OK on there with some fiddling though but that's got a custom IVT Bluetooth stack on it so maybe it's some sort of incompatibility issue which is why others aren't seeing the same issue, or maybe they're just not using the DUN side of things with their phones ?

Not sure, but either way as mentioned, other ROMS seems to work well.......... Not sure why yours is different, I'm not clever enough to be able to tell, I leave the clever stuff to clever people like you mate

So in short, can be seen by my laptop, when you try to pair the Mobile devices asks for pin confirmation, you enter that and get an error saying pairing failed, it then pops up for confirmation again, you put it in again, the second time it seems to accept it then goes to a screen where it should show the available services, but doesn't, it's just blank.

You can select Save at that point, but it doesn't actually go through with the pairing, the PC shows it as if you'd never tried.

If I make the PC discoverable, I can use the device to initiate the pairing rather than the other way around, and that seems to help as sometimes I can get it paired, but then I can't use any services on the phone properly such as DUN, doesn't connect.

Hope you can help !

Fraser
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I've never seen any of these issues you say - it may well be due to the custom bluetooth stack on your PC...

Are you able to try a normal MS BT stack on any other machine?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Still the same issue with WMP, If I could figure out why it crashes when opening an MMS I'd be doing great!;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Hey mate, no issues here, I just sent a video MMS from my wife's treo to mine and it opened up media player fine. Ran through the whole 4 seconds of video do you mind telling us what are you opening with WMP that crashes it? As video is fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] backspacepc:
Nevermind, I fixed it, it was a wrong entry in the registry. My 4 yr old had it and did some tweaking of his own!!:p doggone resoe:eek::D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
The rom is great. No crashes. No freezes. All my programs run well (opera 9.5, netfront 3.5, coreplayer, spb mobile shell 2.1, battery status 1.05.126, google maps, winrar, total commander, vito audio notes touch, 1 calc, opmon and quickmenu). The ppc is up and running in 20 or so seconds from being turned off or from a soft reset. There is plenty of space on the rom for my programs and I find it to be extremely responsive.

I do have some issues:

1. It loses connection to ActiveSync after a few minutes. I have no idea why but it's not a problem yet because it stays connected if I'm actually exploring the ppc through AS (4.5).

2. I have clicked for Netfront 3.5 to be my default browser, but IE opens whenever I click a link in an email. If anyone has a cure for this it would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to do a registry change if need be.

3. If I have a program open, minimize it and open another program the first once closes. This is so freaking annoying. Please tell me there's a cure for this. Please.

4. Battery life seems short. May be because I had an extended battery on my 8125 and am using the standard battery now. I ordered an extended yesterday because using Google Maps from Chino to LA yesterday (1hr) took my battery from 95% to 60%. The return trip say (1.5 hrs - damn traffic) took the battery from 53% to 30%. Yes I use wifi and a lot of gprs traffic so I'll reevaluate once my extended battery is in use.

5. No touchflo. I don't care about the cube or home but I like touchflo. I get a lot of email and it makes scrolling through them easier. Oh well, I guess I'll have to take advantage of the 8525's scroll wheel.

6. It is yet to take an exam for me, or win the lottery for me, or tell my wife that I need more attention. I understand this may take a hardware upgrade but a man can ask right? :o:p

As a follow up to my A2DP review on the 12.1 version.

I use Coreplayer (latest build) and find that music skips sometimes. I've checked the registry and the most common fixes for all of this is already integrated. Sometimes it happens and sometimes playback is flawless.

The other thing is A2DP will work fine with music on Coreplayer but if I play a Youtube video the sound won't come through the headsets. The same video will play sound through the phone speakers. Probably a Coreplayer issue, but I figured it was worth stating.

As far as the headset (Plantronics 590A) and connecting go. Once in a while it won't connect and I have to delete the partnership and repair the device. Very rare.

A2DP comes on right away after the initial pairing. After that I have found no other way to make it come on except to install Battery Status 1.05.126 which allows tray icons. The bluetooth icon has an option for A2DP so I can turn it on and off at will. Otherwise I have no idea how I'd get stereo sound.

Overall I give this rom a 9 out of 10 and would have to say it is just about ready to move to the odd numbers and labeled stable. I understand I wrote a lot, but CRC put a lot of time in making the rom and deserves some feedback.

Thanks for all the hard work and

Download changes...

Hi guys,

I've just changed the system used for downloads...

Now we will try to auto-select the best mirror for where you are located or if we don't have a good mirror, pick a random one for you to share the load evenly among mirrors...

If you have any issues downloading, please PM me and send me your IP address, what country you are in, and what mirror side you were redirected to...

Thanks...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
I can not agree more. I reckon it is a real challenge to the chefs of the world to match this ROM, CRC has really risen the bar and I don't think I'll bother changing to other ROMs until I can be satisfied the way this one has satisfied me! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marcy1987:
Hi, I've tested your ROM, I hope this will help you ;)

PRO:

-really fast

-sms/mms ok

-GPRS ok

-3G ok

-Activesync connects good also without "Enable advanced network functionality"

-Disk Drive function (PDA as usb storage) works good

-BT ok

-WiFi ok

CONS:

-some sounds are missing

-HTC Audio Manager doesn't work

-when I write an accentuated character the first is ALWAYS a strange characters (for example: "a" should trasform firstly in "à" then in other characters.. but "a" becomes "ắ".. the same for all other characters)

-there is not SETUP OPERATOR that I think is really important in a WWE rom

otherwise, the rom is really good and I think I will not change it beacause it is good even like this :)

bye! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marcy1987:
the problem is that SYSTEM sounds are missing, for example:

Busy

calldrop

callwait

pegdisconnect

standard

voiceprvcy

the others work good ;)

I've installed it, but I don't know how to connect it to HTC Home! I think this is an important feature.. the cab is only 300kb ca. I think it should be integrated :)

please let me know!! should be the unicode support? now I try to disable it

very good!!! sorry for the inconvenience ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
I've been having this problem with many ROMS. If you go to Settings->Connections->USBtoPC you can de-select Advanced USB.. I am trying that for a few days and I don't seem to lose my AS connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Hmm never experienced this issue
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
I'm guessing it has less to do with WM or any ROM, and more to do with the Windows XP build on my laptop (ie. how much corporate IT has mucked with it).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Right fixed this puppy.

You need to download HTC Home from here, i used the one with brightness fixed. And then I downloaded HTC Home Customizer form here. Don't install any other cabs of audio manager from anywhere else, you need to download it from the HHC itself, and install it. Then you can go to schaps advanced config and make HTC Audio as default player.

I wasn't going to sleep until I solved this lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] botuser:
Tried this, Fast & Stable after two days of usage. I also think the AudioManager might have been nice if included in the ROM. Where can I get the most updated version of HTC Audio Manager?

Feature Suggestion

Hi there CrcinAu

i have a small feature suggestion for you and your wonderful roms

any chance you could replace Clearvue PDF viewer with PocketXpdf?

its a free open source PDF viewer for ppc and its MUCH better than clearvues, loads quicker too

here is a link for it:

http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/

many thanks

Great Rom!

Cheers to this badboy! Been using it for about 24 hours like crazy. Havn't found one problem yet. Havn't really installed any additonal apps yet so we will see. I'm new to the Hermes scene. My sony ericsson just dumped on me and my roommate just got the new 3G iphone and tossed his 8525 down to me. I consider myself the lucky one out of the situation :p. Can't wait to become more active in these forums. Thank you all for your hard work and I look forward to following this ROM all the way. Cheers!
