Interestingly I had my first issue today while messing around with TouchFlo and the SLPC++ cube application. After installing these, the device hung multiple times. Weird behaviour continued even after I had uninstalled both applications and manually removed all files...

Looks like there are some applications around that can really screw with the windows install! :)

It seems that re-flashing 10.1 cured the weirdness...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stan23:
It that charging issue still due to the missing GND connection at pin 4 of the charger's plug?

another thing:

why isn't the Network Wizzard running automatically and - if I run it on my own - doesn't detect my network?

It worked all fine on Schap's ROMs...

Bootloader freeze

Hi, after 24 hours of relatively stable work (only two soft-resets because the task manager dissapears), the ROM build froze on bootloader. Had to go back to v9.1

Device HERM200
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rbin:
Ditto

Reflashed with 10.1 straight over 9, must be a glutton for punishment. To my surprise everything was working well. BT worked for GPS and X5 headset with no skipping. Seemed as though the XIP change may have cured the issues. After reading CRC's post I thought I would push the envelope. Installed the cube whilst listening to music over BT. Installed ok then when I went to close it screen went black with the cube running intermittently in the background. Soft reset then stuck with CRC's loading screen. Hard reset and start again will post as to how I go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rbin:
Spoke too soon

Reflashed with 10.1, set up and tested BT etc. BT stereo started skipping after 2 songs froze on today screen whilst playing music. Locked up on CRC loading again. Didn't even get to try Cube. Going back to 9.1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
Flashed R10.1 with an 8MB PP. Loaded all my normal stuff (see pictures). Changed .net cf 3.5 registry entry from 0 to 1. Ran Sprite Backup last night, but haven't tried a restore.

Haven't noticed much of a performance improvement with the 8MB PP. Perhaps it isn't as dramatic as going to a 12MB PP.

I have done a number of soft resets and power on/off cycles. No problems. I still need to get some phone time to check that BT works OK.

The only thing that I have a problem with is getting music sound through the wired stereo headset (volume is at 70%). I wonder if the sound is being "ported" to BT and not transfered back when BT is off. I not familiar with how the sound is handled. I have noticed in my WOW HD options that I can select stereo (internal) or headset. Either choice doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm staying away (for now) from cabs that were created by programmers that have not explicitly been tested on WM6.0 or WM6.1. A lot that is out there was developed for WM5 and carried forward to WM6.0 without a lot of testing. Even commercial software, which states that it can run on WM6.0, may not have been tested on WM6.1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thedogger:
Yes, all of these chargers are more than 500mA (1A typically) - and they work fine with my wife's HTC Wizard. It's the issue due to the missing GND connection at pin 4 of the mini-USB end of the charger's plug. The TyTN's ROM will ignore these chargers when the operating system is active. The phone will charge with these chargers when the phone is completely off. Faria's TyTN ROMs include a specific fix for this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
R10.1 just locked-up at the CRCs ROM Loading... splash screen. I'm going to do a hard reset and see if my Sprite Backup will load.

Did a hard reset and a restore using Sprite Backup. It looks like everything is OK. Device was link to my computer for power. Not using it. Lock-up was completely unexpected.

Only lasted 4 hours. Device locked-up when I was in my contact data. Did a soft reset and it stopped at the second splash screen. Back to R9.1 for a while.

Hi ..

For me everything is great about this ROM .. I downgrade form 6 to 4mbpp .. still fast enough for me .. but the only thing i noticed that v10.0 is a bit faster than v10.1 .. everything else is great.

thanks again :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MaRaHoX:
The same... not in bootloader, but on first splash - after great stable work it freezed. Damn!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] brownianmotion:
Ditto - 72 hours beautiful hours on 10.1, then after a power-off, power-on got stuck at "CRC Rom Loading..."

Hard reset, let's see how we go this time.

Edit: I had originally flashed from v9 to 3Aus-supplied OEM ROM 1.30.707.8, then after about a day reflashed to v10.1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] knightmedz:
Hi CRC, i've read in some posts that the SD card power management might be causing the random issues with the newer 6.1 builds. I've checked pdaviet's ROMs and all seem to have this feature turned off. I haven't tested disabling this on your ROM yet as I currently have a 19400 build installed. Maybe its worth checking if this is true? I'll also try to flash 10.1 again to check on this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Can all people who are running my ROM fill out this information.

I'm finally having HR issues with r10. Seems to be text messaging related because every time it has happened (now 3 times in 2 days), I was going through my text messages or just received one. Never had an issue with my ROM, it was running for a few weeks without incident. Going to try 10.1 and will update with results...

I can't change the ring tone, everytime i try and hit ok, it resets to the defaults. Theres a couple of other screens in settings where i have this same problem.

UPDATE: think i flashed the wrong rom, re-downloaded and flashed and is working much better.

The following updates have been done and Release 10.2 is now available.

Release 10.2 (12 May 2008):

* Fix IrDA Support broken in Release 10.1

* Update to HTC Network Wizard to 1.0.31261.1

* We now start Network Wizard in auto mode on boot.

* Removed duplicate Network Wizard icon in Programs. It's where it should be under Settings -> Connections.

* Update to X-Button v2.1.33556.2

The packing format is now changed to 7z - which provides much better compression for distribution. You will need a copy of 7zip to uncompress the ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ov2rey:
care to share ur X-Button v2.1.33556.2.cab?

* Rebased to WM Build 19213

* Updated battery DLL to show battery usage in 1% increments (Thanks cmonex!)

* Updated to Windows Live Messenger 10.6.34.0800.

* Freed up an extra 600Kb over release 10.2.

* Removed unneeded help files for applications not installed.

Thanks. Also want to congratulate you for your efforts and spirit to this hermes community.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
Why is the program memory for this (22.59M) so much less than the Dvha79_ddt 213 (29.84M) ? (its never been clear to me why so many 6.1 ROMs chew up so much mem)

thanks!

Edit: please note I do not intend this as criticism.. I ask out of genuine curiosity, and in trying to weigh the pros/cons of any ROM I might try. ie. I assume I'm gaining some benefit from the consumed memory, its just not clear to me what it is, and/or if that/those features are important to me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Don't know... Free RAM is useless however. It serves no purpose. It's better off used for cache or something that will affect performance in a positive way. When I load mine, I get ~26Mb free - however that will decrease as I load and exit apps - as some shared DLLs stay in memory to help performance - but are unloaded if you require more RAM for a process.

The short story, don't get fixated on the amount of free RAM - it doesn't mean extra performance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chp:
A couple 10.3 observations:

splash screen not included; personally, I like that, but is that intentional?

Settings/System/About shows the following Version info: CE OS 5.2.19209 (Build 19213.1.0.0); is that correct?

Going through the customization now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuestX00809:
May be true, but a few apps need at least 20MB+ free Ram to load.

For example the new iGO 2008 Navigation software need at least 30MB of free Ram for Text to Speech Voices. Enough for my 5 years old Himalaya but not enough for my 1 year old Hermes :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chp:
Wrong version uploaded?

CRC, your custom busy animation is also not included.

The default Internet Explorer home page is also missing.

Did the wrong version get uploaded? This doesn't seem as complete as your previous 10.x ROMs.

DUDE,

Could you possible do a bigstorage light version including these?? PLEASE??

Also Congrats man, I think your the first to make a rom with 1% increments.

Need a tester on bigstorage, Let me know please.

Also, I was following the 1% thread but question, Is it possible to make a cab to get it working on other roms also?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Not really. I meant to include the splashes, however this is really the development version - so I don't do as higher Q/A as the stable version. Some things may get missed as it's really all about me trying new things and checking out various WM builds and testing their stability and issues

Correct. This is an update XIP with CE build 19209. I'm testing stability on updating XIP vs SYS and mixing versions - as a lot of the newer dumps I've found have not quite worked. If this seems to work flawlessly, it will allow me to fully separate XIP/WM builds and give a lot more flexibility - and also result in a lot less wasted time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Oh, also can you all verify that the 1% battery meter worked for everyone? Also include what model device you have (HERM100/200/300). Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I really don't want to go down the BS road. It's a lot more work for me as it requires XIP modifications, ROM modifications, and driver modifications. This means I have to do another build environment for BS vs non BS - for a whole 10Mb of storage. It also means I either have to build in, or leave out completely all the customisations etc. This also removes the users choice on uninstalling WLM, Office, CVC etc etc.

The extra work just isn't worthwhile in my opinion.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks dude,

Question, do you have a cab for this or does it need to be kooked in?

You've done amazing work!

1. New battery driver work for Hermes 100 (Dopod 838pro).

2. Except for the few minor bugs already mentioned above, ROM is running fine after 1 day already (will test it for a couple of days before I customize it to my liking)

3. UC launched successfully.

4. SMS/MMS inbox merge for the new ArcSoft version is kind of irritating, but can live with it.

will test further for a couple of days.

Congratulations for a very nice build. A few more streamlining, this build would be fine.

Battery driver works. Cingular 8525 (AKA HERM100)

Just flashed it. Seems to be OK. Will test for a few days.

My UC Script worked flawlessly

There seems to be a bug with this though. I use AT&T and I fully delete the "MEdia Net" Settings that the network config app puts there (Because they're ****ing wrong). So I delete the settings, then delete the "My ISP GPRS" it sets up out of "My ISP" and create "AT&T GPRS" in there with the correct settings. I reboot. I click anything that goes to the internet, and it connects to MEdia Net! Incorrect settings and all! I even reset the default to My ISP with its correct AT&T GPRS settings. I don't know if its just your rom, or the Network Config app being stubborn, but It certainly doesn't make me happy that Im using outdated configs for a reason I cant explain. This happened in 10.2 as well, I just didn't get around to posting it in the 20 hours I used that rom before moving to 10.3. I can force AT&T GPRS to connect and it works with the Internet Sharing app, but that's hardly a solution.

The new battery driver is working great on my jasjam (hermes 100)

But i noticed that when i select in schaps advanced confic tool to display the battery icon on the title bar, it is still displaying it in 10's. But i guess this is something that schaps need to work on now!

Something else i really miss on other roms is after i have received a call from a caller that is not in my contacts the phone asked me if i would like to add this caller to contacts! Anyway, very nice rom, thanks!

Regards.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Yeah - The development thread is exactly that - things can move pretty quickly ;) Release 10.3 was a test to see if I can separate XIP & SYS development - therefore I can play mix and match. At the moment, Release 10.4 runs WM build 19900 and XIP version 19209. It seems to work ok so far - and I have IrDA working again (it was broken in the 19900 build I found), BT is ok, but I haven't found a working 19900 XIP.

For some strange reason, when I dump a different Hermes ROMs XIP that is supposedly 19900, I get a 19209 XIP.

If you're currently using the PDAVIET ROM, can you tell me what the full version string in Settings -> System -> About?

Release 10.4 is currently: CE OS 5.2.19209 (Build 19900.1.0.0)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Not 100% sure - that's why it's the development thread ;)

It works fine on my device, but that doesn't guarentee that it will be stable on all devices. What I do guarentee is that the stable thread will work well on most devices. Think of the Development thread as a public beta testing ground :)

new build not booting?

hmmm.... just an insight. When I built the first WM6 ROM for the XDA Atom, I had the same problem. It won't boot on a new set of MSXIP modules. Then later on, with the help of cmonex, I found out that some OEMXIP modules were not compatible with some of the new MSXIP modules. After removing the incompatibility, the new XIP boot already. By removing, I mean some MSXIP modules remain lower version mixed with newer version of MSXIP. In some cases, only the coredll.dll was even upgraded as the WM6 had so many variants: 0.3 / 0.4 / 0.7 AKU releases. Naturally, the conflicting modules vary from device to device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Kind of, it seems like the XIP's I pull from other 19900 ROMs seem to be missing a fair bit of files - and even nk.exe from the extraction...

I have to look further into it, and probably extract it manually and see what I find out in the process. Or, if anyone has a working 19900 XIP folder for Hermes, it'd make my life easier ;)

CRCinAU, since this ROM is UC-compatible, would it be possible for you to pull out the SetLocale.xml or publish it? I'm guessing that most people switch it to WWE first thing...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
This is mainly when I stop experimenting with things and feel that after having something out in the Devel stream for a while, with few major issues reports, and I stop updating applications etc etc. Basically, I pick a freeze-point - which then becomes the stable build.

This will probably be the Network settings. Try manually running Connection Setup and see if this fixes the issue.

When I have achieved the goals I have set for that version ;)

The Locale is only there to set the Regional Settings (Start -> Settings -> System -> Regional Settings) to Australian. It doesn't change things from WWE at all. It is:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<!--Region-->
<characteristic type="Locale">
<parm name="Locale" value="3081" />
</characteristic>

<!--Regional settings -->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<!--Set Region to English (Australia)-->
<characteristic type="HKLM\nls" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="DefaultLCID" datatype="integer" value="3081"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

Australian English is code 3081. The full list of these can be found here.
