On Sunday (4/20) I flashed Vp3G WM6 3.62.3 (Full) and let it run completly through its setup. I then immediately flashed CRC R10. The only additional change I have made was to the .net cf 3.5 registry, changing it from 0 to 1.

I installed the following software (order installed):

CompanionLink Pocket PC Link

SOTI Pocket Controller

PHM Reset

wpbear AT&T Proxy Folder

HTC Home V2.1.1005.722 W/Schen's Brightness Fix

Schaps Advanced Configuration V2.1.0.0

Emuntz HTC Home Customizer 1.0 Final

Adobe Flash Lite 2.1

Tao Intent Java 10.1

Dinarsoft MemMaid

SRS WOW HD

Sprite Backup

Just completed a block check and found no errors (4/21). My check matches your example.

I'll be traveling on business for a few days, so it should get a good workout. I'll report back this weekend (hopefully not sooner).

Quick update

OK. I flashed the official AT&T ROM and then r10 over it, and so far no HR or hangs. However, there is a weird issue (bug? or 6.1 incompatibility?) with both HTC Album and Pocket Player 3.6. HTC Album crashes and just exits while loading the thumbnails and Pocket Player can not play AVI's or MP4's, which I could do with VP3G's ROM. If you try to see any videos, the application hangs and needs a SR. The music playback is OK, though. MobiTV works OK also. Everything else is working fine. Please let me know if anybody else has seen these issues. Thanks,

Update#1:

Problem is worse than I thought. WMP also crashes when I try to play any video (AVI or MP4). Couldn't find any reference to this problem here or at the Conduits forum, so I think I'm the only one. Right now, WMP, Pocket Player and HTC Album crash. I also tried installing both PP 3.6 and HTC Album to the SD Card but they hang / crash there also. Weird...

I wanna ask. There is a beautiful uitility in this rom, which organizes working with SMS very well. It looks like chat. Can somebody tell me what this utility is?

Sooo, i'm wondering if it is the radio version that has caused people to have problems with r10 (NOT originally MY thinking and it may have been CRC, but i'm too lazy to look up who suggested this) . I was using radio version 1.41.00.10 with r10 when mine froze at loading screen and i was forced to reflash. Recently i updated to 1.48.00.10 because it's same version that CRC uses....

Can people who have experienced hard resets in r10 please post the radio verison that they were using when it happened???

vieo/movie playing hangs

i also experience hangs/skips on the new build. when i play movie on the coreplayer first it would run smoothly but when i try to skip or move forward on the movie it will start skipping then it hangs.

im back to crcs r9 build 19199 and it gives me no problem at all.

maybe it has something to do with the new build,i also try other wm6.1 rom with build 19202 - 19209. and it gives me the same problem when playing videos and movies..:confused:

Hi CRC. I went back to r10 as suggested. Yeah I do had a bad block when I checked with mtty. After fixing, I flashed r10 via SD. Everything's good so far. Even the file explorer -scroll wheel issue seemed to be fixed. Will report back if I encounter any problem.

I only have these two programs installed at the moment ->

iContact v.06

JUVS HTC Home

and had PIM Backup restore my contacts,call logs and messages.

I assume then you can play videos with Media Player w/o problems...In my case:

1. HTC ALbum crashes on thumbnail screen

2. Media Player crashes when playing video

3. PocketPlayer 3.6 crashes when playing video

4. Picture manager crashes on thumbnail screen.

Anyway, here is the mtty.exe results. I had flashed the AT&T Offical ROM first, as you recommended. As you can see no bad blocks. Everything else is working great now, even MobiTV, is just the video playback. I'm going to try another 6.1 ROM and see what happens.

HR Again

Here's my experience from yesterday:

About 2 days of operation, my SPB Shell started behaving eratically. All other applications showed similar behavior. On doing a soft reset, the phone went into hard reset mode. After which, it stayed in the splash screen for ever. I pressed a reset again, it booted normally.

I flashed the AT&T ROM after this. Then I flashed R9.

So I am back on R9.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] saeba:
I'm another that fell back to R9. I'd run r10 for several days with no issues and enjoyed the speed and features it provided, but after a soft reset to free memory I found that a lot of my apps (SBSH Weather, iLauncher, PocketBreeze) had lost their configuration data and one installed app (SyncML) failed to run at all. Given the number of people reporting issues, I thought it safest to simply go back to R9. I've run that successfully with no issues since its release.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] krweatherl:
Tried this rom, 5 hard resets on Saturday. Went back to 9, read all the posts about how to fix. Flashed latest ATT ship Rom, checked for bad blocks, found 1 but utility couldn't fix. Flashed this Rom again, just had my first hard reset with less than a half day use.

Video Playback Issues

Changed to the PDACorner V10 ROM and video playback IS WORKING, except that FULL SCREEN shows a black screen in both Media Player and PP 3.6. Looked around in MSDN for a while, but found nothing obvious (at least to me). Another person reported the full screen video playback issue in the Faria-32 thread. HTC Album is working fine. Again no bad blocks and had to reflash AT&T Official before PDACorner V10, because it crashed the first time I installed it. So far so good. Strange that nobody else is experiencing this issue. At this point I'm inclined to think is a 6.1 issue, not particular of this ROM(?).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Prerna:
Can someone tell me about my above result. I see only a difference in the PArtition 3 info, and CE CheckSum. Rest looks fine.

Thanks.

I experience occasional white screens, that disappear if I switch the screen off and on again after a while.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] blackout128:
Anybody else have these screens? Does anybody know what it means?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dieKatze88:
I couldn't find any bad blocks, and Im back to R9. In addition I would like to report another error. I use a 1 meg WAV file as my alarm clock which is installed with my UC script using the copy command to put it into the Windows folder. If my Alarm clock tried to fire on R10, it would hang the phone up immediately, then the turning the phone off would keep it that way, and you would have to force a reset. then it would never boot. if you force a hard reset it would come back up (obviously blank) but this problem would persist.

I'll try the AT&T Rom trick sometime next week after exams.

Tried to duplicate the issues and found out that the threaded sms missing after I restored old messages via PIM backup. Any workaround you could perhaps advice me?

Thanks and I look forward for your new release!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Hmmm... Not quite sure how PIM Backup restores SMS Messages etc... Maybe a restore with v2.8 from a backup made with v2.6 might do something funny?

Maybe post the issue in the PIM Backup thread... It sounds like a restore may be overwriting something it shouldn't - maybe the read_*.htm and the associated stylesheets?

I'm replying from my Hermes atm and I'm not at home, so I can't really offer more advice at this stage... A hard reset should restore threading though...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konminx60:
Then hard reset it is. I probably did exactly as what you told. Decided not to restore the messages and everything went fine.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
The other thing you could try as well is to not do a binary backup when to do the backup. Although this takes quite a bit longer, it extracts the contents of the files - not just makes a copy of the files. When data formatting changes in the WM world, having a non-binary file backup may help too.

A2DP problem

I know tha this is an old trick but for those who just joined the forum I'd like to save some of their time by repeating the following advice.

For those who who is experiencing problems with A2DP (skipping) I can recommend using HTweakC 2.0 (can be found on this Forum). You should run that program, use Bluetooth Tweak Menu and tickmark Improve BT A2DP. You can also specify which sound quality you'd like to have (Excellent, High, etc).

Having done alll step mentioned above I managed to eliminate skipping and hissing problemile streaming A2DP to my car stereo.

: )

I just wanted to say that i am really enjoying this rom. My phone is loaded with apps and i am rocking just about every SPB Today screen item available, with Phone Weaver, and there doesn't seem to be any conflicts. ie: bluetooth not switching on. I like how you didn't include HTCHome, or any ftouchflo packages, i use them but find they have less conflict when they are user maintained as opposed to being cooked in. I do believe this is the most solid 6.1 i have flashed. Thank you for the well cooked release
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
You haven't seen anything yet. Release 5 is based on the official Windows Mobile 6.1 release. It's fast. DAMN FAST. It's passed my stability tests with only two minor issues. I'm packaging it as I type this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Release 5 now available

Hi all,

I'm very excited.

Release 5 has got to be THE best ROM I have ever built to date. It's fast. VERY fast. It's slim. VERY slim. It has the most storage space available EVER. I have been testing this for over 24 hours and I was VERY tempted to release this before completing my testing - it's just that good.

If you are running an older version of my ROM, PLEASE update to this one. It really is worth it.

If you are running someone elses ROM, I urge you to at least try Release 5. I'm sure you will find it as awesome as I do.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sul05:
Just flashed the rom and all is good so far. Anychance you could include any of the HTC app's like Home, Random Access or Picture album.

Also the getting started link does not work says tutorial missing!

Thank you Great work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I'm not going to include them in the ROM, however, you can install them via CAB files after installation. The idea behind this ROM is to give you a stable base which you can then expand on to customise how you like. This is why you can uninstall Office, Windows Live etc.

Where did you find a Getting Started link? I thought I'd removed them all. I don't include the tutorial content, as I figure that if you are here, you know how to use a phone :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sul05:
The getting started link was on the today screen i removed it from the today settings.

Sorry but where can i find the HTC cab files

Also the windows feedback seems to be included could you remove it from the next release
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Can you confirm you downloaded Release 5? I didn't get a Getting Started link when I flashed mine with R5... Did anyone else get this? :confused:

CRC, did you update the SDAutoRun to version 2.0?

Or can/should I try that on my own? The file seems to be in ExtROM, right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GregE240:
Sorry CRC, I've lost confidence with R10.

I've had it on my phone now for 3 days and have had 2 lockups. Oddly the effect is something between a hard & a soft reset - for example, it asks me to calibrate the screen, do I want to set up an email account then it runs the custom programs, as if it were a hard reset. Then when its done, all my settings are still there! Odd. Oh, I needed my MS Exchange password for Activesync...

I've flashed my phone God knows how many times and never had lockups before.

Going back to R9. Sorry chum.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I haven't updated to the latest SDAUtoRun.. It is on the Extended ROM - update the EXE and you should be right.

That's fine. When you get some spare time, check through page 56 of this thread and see the fixes that are available for your device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
so far so good

radio rom 1.48.0.10? (same as CRC)

and reflashed official o2 rom before r10 and no lock ups as of yet and its been a couple of days :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
Been running for 4 days with my normal software (see previous post for list). Loaded S2U2 V1.00 last night and ran into problems. Fitst problem was a certificate error; still can't determine what the missing S2U2 certificate is. Then while switching between on and standby to check the S2U2 configuration(using power button), my ActiveSync connection started "looping" through synchronizing. I disconnected and did a soft reset. My device would not load past the second spash screen (CRC Loading...). I'm not sure that S2U2 was the problem, but it is similar to my last R10 failure where I got the full "white screen of death" that said I was trying to start-up with an uncertified application.

I reflashed and reloaded everything (except S2U2) last night and am back up and running. I'll see how things go for the next 3-4 days.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
spoke to soon

sitting in work today, my background vanished, phone was abit slow etc then BAM restarts!

going back to v9, i really hope you fix this bug otherwise im gonna have to find another rom :(

and i tried the things mentioned previously in this thread and it still happened. just randomly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rbin:
tried it all

Tried all the suggestions by CRC, no one else bothered to respond to my posts for help.. Worked OK for a day apart from BT then tried to make a call dialled and connected no noise at all. Hung up then could no longer make calls at all. Soft reset which turned into a hard reset and wiped everything. On job site so had to return home and sync. Have gone back to 9 again all is well BT works and no problems. Sorry CRC but 10 needs a lot more work.:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Interestingly, some other people mention that turning off SD card power management fixes their issue. It seems to be an issue that only seems to affect some devices (no idea why) but it seems to be something in the WM build itself. That being said, I still haven't even been able to make my device hang - let along needing a soft or hard reset.

Theres also a big discussion about build 19209 and things that have fixed them.

Ok. For those having issues, I have split the development of this ROM into two flavours - Development and Stable.

Release 9.1 is out in the stable thread - it's the same build as Release 9 with a few extra updates.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I think that I'll stick with R10 for a while longer. I'm currently staying away from software that were developed for WM5 and may have questionable performance on WM6. I'm 2 days into my latest reflash and it's like jumping off the Empire State Building. As you pass the 80th floor, someone asks how things are going. You reply "so far, so good."
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Ok - I've made a few changes to Release 10 and uploaded Release 10.1 to the mirrors. Remember, this is the development release of my ROM. If you rely on your device, check out the Stable version.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BrandywineITS:
Whatever you increase by, you lose in program space. I went from 6 to 12, so I lost 6. I install my apps to the sim card instead of the device anyway, so for me there's no great loss there.

Faria's ROM has something in it (I have no idea what magic he works) that lets me use my older mini-USB chargers with the TyTN. Right now, with v10, I can only use one charger, the rest don't work unless I turn the phone off.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lagoskon:
Dont confuse things. Increasing pagepool , you loose program memory from "Memory"(=for running programs , multitasking,...) and NOT from Storage memory (=space for installing programs to device) .

The best pagepool is about 10MB if you don't want multitasking and a lot of today plugins and 6MB in opposite occasion

You have to run it on the nbh file before you flash the ROM. Just start the program and browse to the nbh file. You will see the current PP. You change the PP size with the radio buttons. Don't forget to hit the change button.
