This seems to be a bug with the theme, and it annoys the hell out of me, but I haven't been able to figure out what the cause is... I believe it has something to do with the theme having 2 backgrounds - one for 240x320 and one for 320x240. This means the backgrounds are stwater_320_240.jpg and stwater_240_320.jpg. The Windows themes use stwater.jpg. In theory, Windows Mobile should use the stwater_blah jpgs when set, but it doesn't look like it does - causing a black screen to be displayed instead of the background.

As I've said before, there's probably someone out there that knows a lot more about themes than I do, and if they can fix it, I'd be very grateful. The interesting part, is that if we apply the theme using custsk.exe - like we do in the customisation, it all works fine...

I haven't noticed this myself as yet.... Has anyone else seen this?

Request

Hi Chef,

now that I kinda know what you got planned, ... I have a request for a next rom from you :)

I would like the standard version with HTC Home cooked in, I have tried to load it up and it loads slower upon boot compared to the ones that are cooked in the ROM and they don't use so much RAM.

So .. what I like:)

HTC Task manager, Office with one note, HTC Home, SRS WOW installed/set accoustic param running fully, netcf3.5

What say you chef :) I am sure I am not the only one that would want this:D

Oh yes as per the request below, the split MMS
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lagoskon:
Plus ArcSoft MMS v4.2.8.1 for splited SMS/MMS and clearer seperated threded SMS
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I seem to have missed something, but, Pleases keep it as clean as pos, like it is now, maybe even more so?

After using your roms, I can never go back to "loaded" rom, they seem so slow!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
hmm

The chef has great plans, he calls this 'normal' what is to come will amaze you, so for 'normal' I would like to see the above. I can't say much more unless it comes from the chef himself, but that's my request from 'normal' :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I did notice that he had started adding "normal" tags, I am very excited, I just cant wait to see what hes cooking up for us to enjoy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cirial:
I wouldnt mind having this either, but I use MMS hardly at all so its not a huge issue.

Things I would like cooked in/changed:

Comm vibrate

Startclean

Large start menu

Schap's advanced config

Help! Can't See Text Messages

I installed 12.7 yesterday and now I can't see my new text messages. The Today screen says that I have unread messages (I've sent some to myself). I can send them no problem.

I have no issues sending messages. I'm not sure where the issue might be. OS? Config change by me?

I've done soft resets, changed directories, changed sort by, opened from start menu and today screen., etc.

When I try to download email, I get a login screen again, but that was an existing issue with 12.5 (have tried gmail pop and imap).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asfoor:
It is NOT a ROM issue.... you must have changed a string or two in the reg. I recommend re-flashing, and after all is set, do a hard reset and let it rip...

Also go to connections and see if you have all protocols set correctly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duckboxxer:
Help! Can't See Text Messages

I really didn't think it was a ROM problem, just throwing it out there. Going to reflash.

Thanks

A reflash fixed whatever it was. No problems with text messages now.

Reply All

I am using MRH 8.4 based upon CRC 12.7.

In messaging when I select a single email the left soft key says "Reply All" instead of just "Reply".

I am not sure if CRC 12.7 does same or if this is just in MRH 8.4?

CRC thanks for fixing multiple message select.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
Shifted from CRC 11.2 to CRC V12.7 (development) with an 8MB PP. Trying a run with minimal add-ins and maximum speed. Only using HTC Home and Memmaid. Configured Memmaid to optimize for maximum speed. which has a big page file. A clean soft reset has about 17.47 MB available in system RAM. Not using any SPB software,; just adds to overhead with no real benefit. Also not using Flexmail 4. Since I'm not traveling this week, I might try a bigger PP to see if it helps speed without penalizing my useage.

BTW, my 8525 is not my primary communication device. I use my PC for email and my contact database, and my land-line phone for voice communications. The 8525 is only used while traveling for the above, and checking internet news and local weather.

I guess I have finally figured out how I really want to use my 8525.

Im having some real problems with opera mobile, when I try to use it in landscape mode, with the keyboard.

What happens is that, i tap on in a text mob, enter one key, it goes in fine, but when I try to add more, it doesn't do anything, I have to tap into the box between each input, this is VERY annoying, and happens with the program is in fullscreen and normal.

Im using build 1522, on CRC12.7

edit updated to build 1780, problems still here, anyone know of a build that works?

edit: wow.. its a bug in Opera, found a beta version on the TyNT2 forum that might fix it, ill report back.

Final edit: New beta fix's it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2483092#post2483092

i know that bluetooth issues are among the silliest - i personally hate posts on bluetooth issues :D but i swear that i exhausted every possible ways before posting this:

tried 12.7 and it works like a charm. the ONLY issue is that my Hermes cannot receive files from symbian devices through BT. (sending files is fine).

the strange thing is that the Hermes sends and receives files on BT to and from my Kaiser (or other Windows Mobile devices) like a breeze.

it ONLY cannot "receive" files from symbian phones.

any idea ?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Release 12.8 available.

Today is the start of something new.

Release 12.8 (Soon):

* Added new Device Update application

* NEW: Naked build now available.

* NEW: Naked Big Storage build now available.

* Cooked in .Net Framework 3.5 into all builds

* May have some issues with UC - don't install any CABs via UC at this stage - Run Device Update first.

* May have some issues with normal ROM and Device Update for things cooked in. on my ToDo list

While things are still in beta, I suggest that you DON'T install any application CABs via UC - but run Device Update and pick what you want to install from there... After this point, install as many CABs as you like. This way, we avoid conflict between DeviceUpdate apps and other random CABs of the same application.

DeviceUpdate is a utility to always keep your device up to date without having to reflash. Aimed for usage with the naked or naked Big Storage ROMs, you will be able to install all the latest programs to your phone from one simple interface.

Make sure you are connected via either Wifi or ActiveSync, then launch Device Update. It will download and install your selection of files. It will also have the ability to update applications as they become available.

Feedback is welcome.

EDIT: Oh, and the Naked Big Storage ROM has about 81Mb available as storage... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
For those into naked and big storage

This has been achieved with no compression and ran it well long enough to know that it was stable, worked with exchange 2003, internet and video calling, so really nice for those who are into 'naked' stuff!

Just flashed the latest CRC's rom and has been using it for the past 12 hours. Everything is acceptable for me. Nice themes, nice layout, fast, stable, but my battery seems to drain quite fast. Does anyone else has the same problem?

I think PDACorner's v18 which i flashed 2 days ago was faster. But somehow, it wasnt stable so i switched to CRC's 12.8. The speed is acceptable but the battery drain is really bad

Can I have some feedback specifically on Device Update?

I'm after if anyone has had any issues with it, and if so, what they are...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
thanks pal, but i guess i'd stated in the post that i'd "exhausted every possible ways before posting this" and, to be honest, checking the "receive all incoming beams" is among the very first of the basic "possible ways" :p

in fact, i did every conceivable thing but still cannot receive files via BT.

is it possible to change the BT stack altogether? i mean is there any software to do this?

EDIT: ok plz ignore this silly Bluetooth post. The problem was that although the "receive all incoming files" in Beam was ticked, BUT the "Beam" in Comm Manager was not on. Generally , the Beam in Comm Manager is there to activate/deactivate Infra_red port, but in this particular case , I couldn't receive any file on Bluetooth without turning the Beam in Comm Manager on.

CRC, great ROMs as always.

I agree tisnt so good though, but CRC's seems to be better than bloated ones.

I'd be checking your battery or what apps you have installed... I have a 3000mAh battery and am now on day 2 without a charge and still have 86% battery left...

I'll be adding more things to the list as time goes by... I have to check and modify each CAB file manually for it to work with Device Update, but the list of apps available will grow...

Yeah - if I use the stock standard battery, I get around 2 days of average usage...

RPMs for the OS, or for the Apps?

If for the Apps, why? ie. what does it offer?

Does DU break other install utilities (ie. I use Sashimi) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Its for apps

Its an easy way to offer a clean rom, without even stuff like mms (give people the choice between V4/V5), without having a massive UC.

Its also dam cool :P

Whats Sashimi? But I dont see why it would break anything
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I would imagine that the benefits of a larger PP depends on the application you are running. I have a 1500+ contact database in my 8525. I find that searching in the database is faster with the 8MB PP. However, some applications, which are not resource intensive, seem to be the same regardless of the PP size.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
Seems to have gotten a lot of exposure in the Kaiser world, not so much in Hermes for some reason. Seems like a nicer version of UC... instead of making a text file, you just put everything in a folders structure, and launch it (by hand) after you install a new ROM.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Thats quite interesting, Its odd how things catch on in some places but not in other, I suppose as its written by someone who has a Kaiser rather than a Hermes, it doesn't get posted here, so not so many people know about it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
Yeah, I dunno why it wasn't also posted in the Development/Hacking forum like so many other (very useful) tools.

Shrug.

But I'm glad I found it.. it was exactly what I was looking for (an easier way (IMO) to do UC, and a little more control over when it happens)

just wondering why the requirment of a lower SPL and is it worth it to downgrade?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
It's not quite that simple at the moment...

The 4 mirrors are automatically sorted based on where your location in the world is. There's one mirror in the EU, one in Australia, and 2 in the US.

The good side of that is that you'll get the best (or close to) the best speeds available for where you are on the globe.

The bad side is that the co-ordination of these mirrors (syncing, geolocation code etc) all happens on the one server - meaning if it does go down, Device Update and my download links will fail :(

The good news however is that this server has been very reliable for the last 4 or so years, and I can't see that changing in the near future.

I moved to this method mainly to spread out the load fairly (I was sick of serving up 200+Gb per month from my personal mirror - $$$$), and to help out with speeds for Device Update for as many people as possible...

Memory Card Size

Since no one replied (OK perhaps everyone knows this) I called HTC and they told me the max memory card the Hermes will support using Mobile 6 is 32GB but they said the card is very delicate and do not recommend it because it burns out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Radimus:
It isn't that no one replied because we didn't feel like it... it is that it is a simple question that 2 minutes of google could answer

Since WM6 on TyTn supports SDHC, then it will use SDHC as it is provided.

SDHC has finite limits, and that limit is in its specs (32gb)

Some (nooby) questions about crc's 12.8 rom

Some questions regarding this ROM (I've searched the forums and the wiki):

1. what is the "Storage Free" capacity of the naked and BigStorage ROMs after a default flash? (the free capacity of the normal rom after I flash it is ~53 MB)

2. How is this huge storage increase achieved?

3. other than free space, what is the basic difference between normal, naked, and big storage? (and mainly between naked and big storage) [i.e. applications, removed components etc.]

Thanks :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Details can be found here on this post re the naked big storage.

81 MB he said there, and it's not through compression, and I believe he will have to kill you after he told you how he achieved that. :D

Normal has everything cooked in, for lazy farts like me, naked is a clean rom, so is big storage. Let it rip, the most fun is the big storage, make sure you get wifi enabled first so you can pull the apps down real quick.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] iharkins:
My camera button is broken (by a USB cradle I bought ages ago) so I usually place a shortcut to it on the Apps tab of HTC Home and set the Button action for the Camera button to <None>.

Since I posted my message I've found that the Camera application is there (although there was no shortcut for it in Programs) and it works fine, however, this lead me to discover the real problem ... the Voice Record button doesn't work on long or short press. Has anyone else found this?

I remember this being broken on a very old 6.0 ROM but I can't remember if it was one of yours or one of the Black ROMs? Anyway, I think there was a registry hack to fix it.

vertical scrolling bar

hi,

LOVE IT, is all I can say about this rom. Updated my radio and this made me love my Hermes even more. However, I noticed smth odd about this rom. The right side vertical scrolling bar seems to be less responsive. I will need to scroll using the end edges on the right side.

Like for example, according to the picture below, i cant scroll if my stylus is placed on the left side of the scroll bar. It seems to be nt responsive there. I will need to scroll using the rightmost edge of the bar, if you know what i mean.
