Hi,

My first ever post on here :)

I have to say I have not had any issues at all, I was on r6 since it's release with no issues, and yesterday I upgraded it to r10. It syncs fine with my XP Pro SP2 PC, it syncs via USB, WiFi and GPRS(3G) with my exchange server. I have installed TomTom6 and that works fine and it does hands free and GPS via BT with my Parrot CK3300 car kit.

Excellent mate, keep up the good work :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LightOwl:
First post for me too (but I've been lurking in a sinister fashion for some time :eek:).

Flashed the re-issued v10 last night and so far (about 20hrs later) all is well and I'm enjoying discovering the new WM6.1 stuff (threaded messages, zooming IE etc). No hard resets for me so far. Bluetooth, 3G, GPRS all working well.

Thanks for a great ROM, it's a nicely balanced collection of apps without all the unnecessary bells and whistles.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] XaviorPenguin:
Everything works fine minus one small thing...

The Text entry size on the threaded sms. It is only big enough for one line of text and I cannot see anything beyond the first line. Granted this is in Landscape mode on my HTC Hermes (ATT 8525). How can I change that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] woodab:
HELP!

Can someone tell me where to get a registry editor that can do this? Also, how do you add registry keys? Sorry, i'm really new at this.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] XaviorPenguin:
Search for PHM Registry Editor. It is a good editor with some built in tweaks.

I know it is here but I dunno where.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] XaviorPenguin:
I think my issue is resolved.

While I was in Portrait mode with the text ready to type, I flipped out my phone to Landscape to type and it did that. Now everything works. My Bad, ignore me. :D

Nice recommendation regarding reflashing with manufacture OEM. but I have a thought. why would I have problem with r 10 and not any previous ones from CRC. on top of that my current rom is K's final release and its been 1 day no problems yet, but I don't anticipate any problems.

will do as u instruced but still don't see why it would be a hardware issue.. since all other rom's worked fine except r 10.

thanks again for ur inputs and CRC for ur ROM release. keep it up.

I do want to share that the r 10 was very smooth and felt solid ... until the hardreset.. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] frobie:
Every once in a while I will restart my phone and it hangs where it says its loading the crc rom. and I have to pull the battery and restart it for it to come back. Any idea what causes that or how to fix it? I have not had that problem with previous crc roms.

Edit: its not comming back this time but it is past the boot loader and sitting at the windows mobile screen wtih the green swirly behind it.

I had the same problem today. I loaded the ROM last night for the first time, loaded my apps and it was working great. Plugged it in to the PC to charge overnight, woke up and it was locked up. I reset it and it just stuck at the ROM splash screen and would not startup. I had to reflash and reload all the apps. I decided to download the latest version of each app to make sure I wasn't loading any buggy software with WM 6.1. So far so good but we will see what happens tomorrow while I sleep.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thvoss:
Same problem

I have the same problem with a reset after syncronizing this morning. Hard reset and no sync any more.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Again, to all those have experienced a hard reset, flash your OEM ROM and run your device for a week. After this, reflash with Release 10 and try again.

I cannot act on any hard reset issues if you haven't done this step first. If you still get hard resets with the OEM ROM loaded, then there is an issue with your hardware. If all goes well with the OEM ROM, you issue may have been resolved by going back to the complete OEM ROM and you may not have any more issues using cooked ROMs.

There seems to be something that can happen (nobody has been able to narrow this down) that the OEM ROMs seem to fix - especially if a BigStorage ROM has been loaded on the device at some point.

Personally, I have never had my device do a hard reset - even if I flash incomplete ROMs or screw up a development ROM and put in half complete drivers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rbin:
Loved V9 was waiting for the new release with anticipation. Installed and set everything up. All working well until I went into sounds and notifications, hung on closing so I did a soft reset and it then started the original install over again.

I have now set everything up again but I'm a bit nervous about relying on it.:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rbin:
Bluetooth issues then hard reset.

Had issues with Bluetooth GPS, it would set up correctly, serial port and outgoing Com port 2 then when opening Destinator 7 it would ask if I wanted to connect BTGPS???? if I said yes or no it was wiped so no connection. Then experienced the lock up on CRC loading screen. Hard reset and reinstalled V9 now I still have the BTGPS problems.:( Never had these issues with 9 before. Sorry to say but I think 10 is very flaky. Anyone know how I can cure my BT problem with GPS?? I don't believe that my receiver suddenly died just after installing 10. All my other BT devices are working which makes it even stranger.:confused:

MMS Options - Cant change settings

Hey there... I've got one question ... it's probably quite a stupid one and the answer no doubt is right in front of me but... I'm trying to change the MMS Options after using the Network Wizard. When I go into the Text Message section, hit menu and then select MMS Options, Servers, T-Mobile PictureMessage, I am normally able to change some of the settings there... particularly the Send limit, which seems to be set to 100k at standard. However, I don't seem to be able to make any changes there and everything is greyed out. I tried to set up a second server, made a mistake - the fool that I am - tried to delete it, but it doesn't even allow me to delete it. I'm now stuck with like to servers, to none of which I am able to make any changes.

Any advise would be appreciated

Same here, locked at the "CRC"S ROM Loading...." screen
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] agovinoveritas:
I have had issues with it after, uh, let's say 48 hours. It started hanging when trying to reply to SMS. So, I would get an text, then when I would hit reply, the screen would hang. The two options at the bottom bar would gray out and the OK button would simply not work. I would be able to start a task manager and kill the app. No errors per se but the PPC would start working kind of wonky and either something else would freeze or just the entire PPC alright.

I did that a few times, then after a soft reset the entire PPC hard reset on its own. Giving me the pre-prep screen again. I am not sure at this point if it is the ROM or an app. Although most of the stuff I have is pretty standard XDA-Developers issued.

Anyone else?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MaRaHoX:
:(

Sorry, but in my case, everytime when I found this problem, this solution didn't help:( and trying this once more is for me really risky, because I need fully functional PPC without auto-HR possibility. Really strange, but same thing is happening in case of Binky's ROM - the same build with BS. So for me is BS very dangerous;)

Going back to CRC's r9 for a few weeks....please post if the reflash of att rom with a weeks use works...i don't think i can force myself to use att software that long
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
i am now back to r9

i had 2 unread messages and was forced to hard reset due to the crc rom loading bug :(

hopefully a fix will be released soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] iharkins:
I've gone back to the official T-Mobile ROM after my phone hard-reset itself. I may try loading v9 as I think there's something not right with v10. It's a real shame as my phone had never worked so fast!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rafalmag:
I tried release 10 - it froze during Tomtom 6 installation. Then I soft-reseted and it locked at second splash screen. Hard reset then. And it froze every time when i clicked "Start"...

Then I downgraded to release 9 - I am still testing it, but no problems at all !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dgaud007:
Just more data for CRC...

I installed r10 over VP3G's 3.62.3 ROM and everything worked fine until I tried installing the HTC Streaming Media cab. It hanged, and after soft reset it stopped at the CRC Loading screen and had to hard reset after that. So I though, maybe not all apps are 6.1 ready... 12 hours later (no HTC Streaming media yet) it hanged reading some emails (Yahoo POP3) and had to Hard Reset again. So, this time I skipped over CRC's extended ROM customizations and installed everything again, and so far, 12 + hours no hangs and no hard resets, but, will report back if any issues arise. Otherwise, I like the ROM and all the features in it.

FYI...

ROM History= Official AT&T WM5 -> Offical AT&T WM6 -> VP3G's 3.62.3 ->CRC PHK v12 R10.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
This is interesting as I haven't been able to duplicate this at all - which leads me to believe it may be a secondary application being installed that is causing it.

I personally use Release 10 (with no lockups, no hangs, no loading errors) - however after installing, I only have the following software:

* OziExplorerCE v1.2

* TomTom Navigator (6.032 (8351))

* Total Commander CE

* Bejeweled 2 (takes ages to load the icon though)

* PuttyMobile (SSH Client)

* MarkSpace Missing Sync for Windows Mobile (so I can sync with my mac).

All these are installed to the SD card, and I manually create shortcuts to \Windows\Start Menu\Accessories. I experience zero issues with this software.

What software are you guys installing AFTER flashing the ROM? I'm tipping something may be incompatible and causing these issues...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] woodab:
Things I had installed on r10 before phone got stuck at loading screen and i had to reflash r9 (All installed on device, not SD card)

Adobe Flashlite 2.1

RARLAB Pocket RAR 3.71

Schapp's Advanced Configuration Tool 2.1

S2U2 1.0

Also, removed voice commander and windows live

Have used all these applications on other roms without any problems (a few older versions of CRC's, Custel, and Schapps)

Shame that r10 is having some issues, because it was the fastest ROM i've ever used on my phone.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Keep in mind that release 10 is a completely different WM base. Just because it worked on Release 9 doesn't mean it will work perfectly on Release 10.

Try not installing any 3rd party apps and just use the base ROM and see if you still see issues....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] woodab:
I'll probably try reflashing later this week, can you suggest similar programs to the ones i installed that will work properly on r10? The most important to me is Schap's Advanced Configuration because of the "ALWAYS ON" setting for data connections (i have unlimited data and i prefer activesync to stay connected at all times)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
This will simply be a registry setting at most. Searching the forums here will probably show what that registry change is.

This thread seems to be about the same thing:

Sounds promising. Thanks once again for all your help! I'll repost with results of reflash later on in the week.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Thanks. I've reflashed R10 and combinations of ROMs then R10 around 30 times now - and I haven't been able to make it do a hard reset, lockup or hang. This means there must be something that you guys are doing that either I don't do, or an application I don't install/use.

Hopefully we can figure out what this is...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eyezovauhraven:
lock ups and hard resets glore!

i used r9 and previous releases with no issues. but r10 seems to be pretty unstable for me. random lockup will make my device unusable to the point where my device will either hard reset on its own or i'll need to hard reset it myself to get the phone to function again. it hard reset automatically on me once just setting up my hotmail account. another time i was just installing cubis. and another time it was resco explorer. i tried to play a simple mp3 in windows media player (after the device hard reset itself) over my motorola HT820 bluetooth headphones and it locked up after i made a phone call while using the headset. i've tried running the official wm6 from my carrier ATT then reflashing to r10 but it still locked up. last time i had a hard reset, for giggles i stopped it from loading the customizations by resetting it after the hard reset. so far so good. i'll have to do more testing to be sure, maybe there's something in the customizations that load.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] blackout128:
I thought I would add my 2 cents about the HR/Lock-up issues,(hoping to narrow down the cause(s)). I installed r10 1 week ago and the following software with no problems, plus I text message quite often.

htc dark phone pad

pocket calc

M$ Voice Command & BT Fix

Resco Explorer, FTP Add-in & Registry Add-in

Schaps 2G Dialer & Advance Config

SPB Mobile Shell & Pocket Plus

ATT SMS to Email Cab

Removed Voice Commander

Did not flash official ATT Rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I'm not so sure of that - as I always let the customisations run - so I have the whole lot installed - yet I can't make my device hard reset or lockup - even if I try. As of this second, there's been well over 1100 downloads of Release 10 since the fixed version was put up, but there's only a handful of people experiencing issues. I've tortured my Dopod 838 Pro - and I've also tested this on 3 other peoples Hermes device - and I can't duplicate the issue at all.

All ran full customisation and all haven't skipped a beat. This leaves me puzzled as to the cause at this point in time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] frobie:
One thing I noticed is that I went from r10 back to TNT and the problem followed me several times. I went back to the official WM6 from ATT and it stopped then I went back to TNT and its fine. I have installed nothing but google maps and setup my email. However like I said I still had the problem after downgrading back to TNT and it has not happened since I went back to ATT WM6 and flashed back up.

I've been using v10 now for several days - it's working great. No strange lockups, no problems. Using (among other items):

For those of you with lock-up issues, there was a problem with earlier radio versions and WM6.1 -- try upgrading to the radio version I'm using and your lockups might go away.

PLEASE HELP Cannot use R9 now.

To all these people that say they have been using R10 for a week or so. It was only released on the 17th. That makes it 4 days at most to me. As I asked in my earlier post I cannot use Bluetooth any more after having problems with R10 CAN ANYONE HELP?? I realise everyone is having their own problems with R10 I have now gone back to R9 and the Bluetooth problems remain. Surely there is someone out there that can offer some assistance. Do I need to wipe my SD card and reinstall everything from scratch? Do I need to reflash my radio, I am running 154.30.10? Do I need to flash another ROM? I am desperate now. I want to stay with CRC's because up until R10 it was way better than anyone else's.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] woodab:
Sorry is probably a dumb question, but here goes....Where do you download radio upgrades? How can you find out what radio version is the most recent? Do you install them by flashing them like a rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
All the radio roms can be downloaded from:

http://www.crc.id.au/files/xda/index.php?path=Radio_Roms/

You'll need a copy of NBH tool to convert the .nb file to .nbh - as I keep these here for people who are building ROMs. Select the Radio NB file in NBH Tool, then build the ROM. This will give you RUU_Signed.nbh. From there, copy this file into the same directory as RUU_Wrapper.exe and flash as per normal.

EDIT: For what it's worth, I'm using Radio ROM v 1.48.00.10
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dgaud007:
I think the HTC Streaming Media cab is a problem. This time it completed the install but after soft reset, it went past the CRC Loading screen, but it never booted after that. I'm still skeptical of flashing the "official" ROM first to fix the problem... Anyway, I use a LOT of programs (in order of installation):

WPBEar Cingular Settings

Schap's Advanced Config

Resco Explorer

HTC Home 2.1 n2a

HHC

HTC Kaiser Dialer

Mortscript 4.1

Esmertec Java (Opera Mini 4.1)

PocketPlayer

HTC album

CashOrganizer 2007 (SD Card)

Had a good 4 day run before an unscheduled hard reset. My device had stpped responding. Did a power off then back on and got a long one page message about having an uncertified program (or something like that) and I could sellect the OK button to proceed or the PTT button to cancel.

The only program that I have loaded that has a certificate error is S2U2 version 1.00. The only change that I made to my registry, which hasn't been talked about, is to change the .net cf enable entry from 0 to 1.

I reloaded version 10 and made the .net cf registry correction. I also used the connection wizzard to connect to US ATT. I change the connect to My ISP GPRS and got my email reconnected. I have enough stuff running to function. I'm going to run for a while with no added software to see how it behaves.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
From doing some searching around the forums, it seems that numerous people have fixed their freezing/hanging issues by installing this AT&T ROM, letting it boot completely, then flashing back to a cooked ROM. Some report that other OEM ROMs don't fix the issue - however this one does. Not exactly sure why this is, but it might be worth a test for some of the people still having hanging/hard reset issues - and who don't have bad blocks. Interestingly, it mentions that flashing the AT&T ROM via SD Card does not seem to fix the issues - only using the AT&T RUU.

There is also some mention of incompatible Radio ROMs. I suggest that people upgrade to radio version 1.48.00.10 at a minimum (if they are not already using this) and see if issues are fixed.
