Happy Birthday José. All the best for you. Thanks again for the great job with this rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
because since the rom had no audio manager i did not make sense to map to it. if you want to map audio manager as defaut player simply change the folowing value in the registry:

dword:00000002 for audio manager

dword:00000001 for media player

as for mapping shorcuts to the accesories folder do this:

install your app then move the shorcut to the accesories folder,this can be done with explorer.

obrigada.thanks i will be posting the next update in the next couple of days.

it will be branded as the "R-32 " TO COMEMERATE MY AGE.ehehe

i changed the relevant drivers in the new update will see if it makes a diference.

2 Things.

1) Edge Icon: When I'm connected to edge, the edge icon is a small E w/ arrows and it's stuck there. There's no small E on the Singal Level. How do I change it?

2) Wifi: When you tap the Wifi Icon, when you're connected, it doesn't show Wifi singal level. just says you're connected. How do i Fix this?

Thanks. Lookin' forward for the R-32 :P Happy birthday Jose!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fuzzvirus:
A very happy birthday to you looking forward to your R-32. Please see if you can change the midlet manager which asks for permissions everytime. God bless you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] basha:
First, Happy Birthday to you Jose Faria.

Second, Thanks to Faria & Dr P for help. I have done changes accordingly.

Third, Now one week and rom is stable and running smoothly, no battery issue or memory drain. But I had sudden freeze two days ago and done soft reset. Now things are back to normal.

Hope minor bugs will clear up on with your birthday release.

Another observation:

Once you press the answer button to answer the call, it has few seconds delay. Though you press answer button, phone rings until you get connected to call.

I have notices this problem with some other Herms roms as well.

Is it common problem with 6.1 or some bug?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sutheep:
Hard resets?

This might be useful to some people. I followed and I havn't had a hard reset as yet.

Steps by Steps
First, please test your phone with mtty.exe to make sure you don't have any bad block, if so, please fixed before started.

1. Flash HardSPL
2. Flash the full AT&T Cingular 8252 3.62.502.3 Original ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available%20Original%20Shipped%20WM6%20ROM%20Versions
3. Avoid installation of misc software at first boot
4. Flash ROM

What original ROM i need to flash before Flash ROM?
i had tested
- Dopod HK WWE (SEA) ROM, Crashed less than 24 hours. more than 3 times.
- i-mate AUS Telstra WWE ROM, Crashed after 3 days, while enabling network plugin.
- AT&T Cingular 8252 3.62.502.3 Original ROM, after 1 week, never encouter problems.

Thanks geraldoak for this.

Download AT&T ROM here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions

I also found that you have to use Kaiser's Network Wizard. The Dopod's SEA wizard will crash the device. Here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66570&d=1200791991
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
the above problems may be related to mising certificates...my new rom has several new carriers certs.

update;

i also belive battery drains due to the phone stack [3g band in particular] therefore i replaced it today with a original hermes wm6.1 files.

thanks.

hum...im afraid cant test that...my phone buttons are broken!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
So THAT'S why you never answer my calls!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
im sorry darling.i m not avoiding you! really!:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
more about battery related stuff...

wm6.1 also has a few more app/services running this also impact the millage. most intriguing is a new app/service called "Basicphone" as far as i can tell this is related to emergency numbers ,but but older roms already supported this. i wonder if the new app is future support for emergency call over voip!

one thing i can tell you wm6.1 is the bridge between wm6 to wm7.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] elivne:
maybe they finally decided to give the phone app priority over the other apps and bundled it in a service that has more priority?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nanastas:
I find this interesting, and exciting, because your ROM and Berds WM6 have given me by far the best battery life. I used to keep my 3g turned off because I would be at 20% by about 2pm. Now I keep it on all the time, and I charge at night, with still about 40-50% left. Any better life than that, and I won't know what to do with myself....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:

Good to see you back Faria!

Can anyone confirm if the announcements are coming through the Bluetooth headset with VC on this ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcfarlan:
You hear incoming calls fine through the headset. VC incoming calls announcement and placing calls are through the speaker...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kareeem:
Yes faria, in fact almost all of these apps are on the storage card. And what i meant by the voice command thing was that if it will announce who is calling?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] danik_iceman:
Welcome back, Faria!!!

So glad to smell your cooking again. I've missed it :)

I still think that your "The Real Thing" Rom was the best rom ever for wizard.

Mmm...I wonder if we could get some more description of the rom with the possible fixes made and apps cooked. Eventhough I am gonna flash it right now anyways since I know the quality of your roms and apps you choose to cook in...:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
most of the time the storage card goes into power save mode so i takes longer to load because it has to wake up...another factor is how fast it is your card speed....your problem is the apps in the card that i can assure u.

i would format my card and try again.

as for the othe question some one posted the answer above

wow I really like this ROM so far. Haven't run into any problems so far except vc not working with my headset.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] elivne:
It's an AMAZING rom, very very fast(and just today I installed 3 other versions of 6.1 for speed checking).

faria - you are by far the best cook, I checked my usual tweaks(for instance 256K buffer for the SD card) most of my tweaks were not there! you made the rom faster and I don't know how - not to mentions it has all the essential stuff that slows down the system.

I bet your lite ver will give the best benchmark we got.

Hey Pumpiron,

I see this has been happening to you often. I experienced it with Storm but none of the others. I use WA3/WAD a lot and soft reset often to reclaim RAM and no problems. Maybe a hardware issue on your device? I have played with this ROM since it was released and except for the 2 issues already note, it is rock solid...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcfarlan:
HTC Task Manaer

Would you consider making this installable by cab rather than cooking it in? Creates unhandled exception errors and soft resets when it is cooked in and WA3 is installed.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Well I flashed this last night and my phone won't wake up. WHen I try and call it doesn't ring or anything. The lights flash like its on I just can't get the screen to wake up.

I had to take the battery out and restart ..

Hmmm now its stuck at the smart mobiliy startup screen and won't go past that..Not good I've never had this problem before.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
(lol i sound like a broken record with this reply as of late but...)

Try checking the NAND for bad blocks (info 8) ...... and if there are any (there should be 3 on a fully working device) clear them with 'task 2a'.

Im not sure if this is occurring more recently or just a coincidence but do give it a go anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Yod-b:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I'm looking for info on what your talking about but can't find it yet. Do you have a link where I can read about this?

So far I just hard reset and we'll see how it goes..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Well just fire up mtty, put your device in bootloader mode.....hook it up and run the command 'info 8' this will check the device for bad blocks.......then if there are any (as i said before there is usually 3 there on a perfectly functioning device) then run 'task 2a' and see if it fixes them.

This is just a guess based on the dodgy behaviour of the device since i figure Farias rom would have claimed alot more casualties in this manner if there was actually something wrong with it.

Hopefully you can replace the working one with the one thats currently cooked in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
MSV over BT

The only way to make this work is with the BTVoiceCommand file. It's included in the MSV 1.6 cab that you guys are installing which is why it works. Jose's MSV version is newer and doesn't include that file and the necessary reg changes. This will (I expect) be resolved in the next release as I also depend heavily on MSV and miss the BT functionality.

The WIKI covers this here, look for the How to make Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 work (WM5 & WM6 tested!). section. Also covered here

This is a great rom, thank you - really fast and stable.

I have noticed one bug though - the power/battery icon shows up in the dialpad top right corner after the 2nd time the dialpad is opened.

Great work tough - donation coming later today.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
No, it is not a Hardware problem. It does not Happen with WM 6 roms, Just with a few 6.1 Roms.

I put on the same software, Sirius, Google Maps, Live Search, sync to my PC, set the Keyboard to 263177 and in this rom, fixed the M$ Voice Command. After I set up all my apps and pair my Headsets, Cars Handsfree, the last thing I do is check what the memory is at, most of the Time it is at around 11%. So I allways use the stylus to reset the phone and want to see what the memory is at after a reboot. Schaps and Pays WM 6.1 roms I have had no problems with, No Hard Resets, But this one, Shadow TE and Randomize roms, It hard Resets itself when I use the styus to reset the phone..... I just Flashed back to Shaps 440 Beta again and loaded up all my apps and reset it with the stylus and it did not Hard Reset??

I ruled out a Hardware issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slavik:
Great work guys, thank you.

This rom is the best of all i tried so far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Anant:
I have found one problem that if I activate dialpad for say call history of for dialling a number, even though after the call I close the application, it remains in the memory.

You can check this in the system's Task Manager, Application and there probably one or two entries in the memory for phone which you cannot forceibly close also.

It needs to be softrest to get it off. Immediatly after soft reset if you check the task manager that entries are not there. You can check it out.

Any solutions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Anant:
Also with VC, even after pairing the BT set ( I am using Jabra 8010 with A2DP profile on) the phone selected tunes through the speaker only but on one or two occassions the name of the caller was correctly announced through BT headset. But on a couple of occassions it didi not annouce through the BT set. So it is randomly intermittent for me. However the call is correctly transferred to the BT set while the incoming call as also with the outgoing calls.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fuzzvirus:
@Pumpiron579 and others who had hard reset

Here are few of my observations

1 . I have noticed that whenever there is cooked ROM without extended rom, I got some problem if I am coming from 6.0. Also sometimes partial hard reset.

2. Changing a few parameter using Schaps Advance config tool can create this issue

3. Restore backup from previously rom can also mess up like restore files using PIM backup or restore HTC Home customizer.

4. There are changes in the registry structure. So be careful before putting any hack. I had some problem after deleting keys from HKLM\Services

If you are having regular resets, get K's 6.0 full final rom and flash it and then try Shadow TE or Faria& Dr. P. I can assure you everything will be smooth.

Whatever I have described above are my experience and I tried almost all the 6.1 ROM. I flash regularly :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Thanks for the advice but, I am not comming from any 6.0 rom, I do not use or even open Schaps Advance config tool,

The only registry change I make is to the Keyboard and that is with the registry editor.

I have never used anything to Restore a backup nor do I use PIM.I never have regular Hard Resets, just with Farias, Randomize, and the Shadow TE.

When I think I need a good base to start with, I use the Rom that has the

Radio that I want to use, in this case it has been the OEM Telstra I-Mate rom.

I can reset with the stylus all day with Schaps and Pays WM 6.1 roms and any wm 6.0 roms, it is just these three that has this problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Mine locked up browsing the internet and had to remove the battery and stuck at htc startup screen again so I had to hard reset again.

I have used many many ROM's and just about every 6.1 ROM thats been released so far and this hasn't happened before.

I suspect schaps config tool might be causing issues so I'm gonna avoid using it and try something else and see if that helps..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duke_stix:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] etreby71:
Faria,

Thanks for a solid ROM.

I have just a few comments which are really cosmetic should you wish to fix in your next release:

1 - The battery icon at the title bar is the old style. There is a new one that shows the % power left. Maybe you want to have a look at that. I do like your own made 3G icon.

2 - I cannot get rid of the bluetooth or the xpshut icon at the bottom tray. I guess you can do that through registry fix but I don't know how.

Other than that things seem to be fine.
