Awesome Rom

Using this rom for two days now. Had been on another 6.1 rom before this one and was having hard resets and freezes. Flashed radio down to 1.47.30 first [was at 1.54.07], reset rom to ATT factory.

This rom seems to be rock solid for me and calls, wifi, and bluetooth are working great.

Very well thought out rom with lots of nice little touches, IMHO.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mmick:
I´m running this ROM for 1 day and it´s very good, the only problem I got (until now at least) it´s the need of Hard Reset when doing some changes on "buttons" or installing some web browsers.

I recommend: reboot after doing some change to important things (button configuration, advanced config change, etc).

It´s rock solid now and it´s working perfectly and fast! I hope it continues this way :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] PelloG:
that sounds nice. can you give me your bt-cab?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mmick:
Not acomplishing 2 days of work I already hard reset with this ROM more than 4-5 times!

Now it stop working after I set the alarm, it froze and I had to hard reset...

I cannot recommend this ROM at this moment :( It´s fast and very interesting, I sure want it to run well but it´s getting on my nerves and it´s not trustful for important work :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Gee I disagree. Not sure which ROM you're speaking of but the clean ROM seems pretty stable. Not sure what steps you took, what softwares you installed, if you restored from a backup, etc...

Get my drift? You say that in two daze you've had problems with this (again, which one) ROM buti only see one post from you regarding this ROM, this morning.

Oh well,what a long strange trip it's been!

Good luck!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
ehm... I think I had this problem, too. Now, I am trying to duplicate the error, and seems to me, it has something to do with keyboard drivers and/or landscape/portrait software.

The funny thing is when you get a system fault/crash, you are left to soft reset, then it hangs on 2nd splash screen, which gives no alternative but to hard reset. Sometimes, when it crashes, you SR and be surprised that it hard resets. I experienced this with a lot of different ROMs and tested them for at least 3-4 days each.

You also get the freeze by fast keyboard entries...

You also get the freeze by frequent sliding in/out of keyboard during the transition of landscape and portrait (especially during SMS communications).

You also get the freeze by PIM Backup of 2000+ message restore. (you restore the messages and open SMS app. while it tries to compile the threading and accidentally tap on one message while compiling... it freezes)

So, what are the apps that were installed during testing?

- HTC home

- Task Manager (app closer) v2.0

- Resco Explorer

- PIM Backup for appointments, contacts, and messages

You might say my Hermes is defective, but I've got two Hermes to test on, mine and my wife's phone. I've also checked for bad blocks. I've also noticed that this problem goes unnoticed on all ROMs, but I could see quite a number of users having this problem not giving a proper feedback.

Hope you would consider this feedback.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stuff:
It's got to be an installation of the ROM. Usually when I install a new Rom, I first go back to the AT&T official rom, then to the new rom.

I haven't had a single problem yet. (With the clean version)

I've had this running for 5 days and haven't had a single hard reset.

I've only soft reset once, but that's because the device was running very slowly, so I decided a soft reset, (like rebooting a computer) would be a good idea.

Holey Rat's Ass Batman! 2,000 SMS's????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
I will try your solution... Since, my device is a dopod issue, I will install the official dopod ROM on it, then this new ROM. Even though I don't see the point, nevertheless, I will try it.

I just started to read through this thread and see how the hard reset issue goes. Damn, one user reports that dopod official ROMs causes the hard resets. Anyway, I have flashed already the dopod ROM then the clean wm6.1. Hope I don't get the HR problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
Yeah. I guess I need to clean it up, but sad thing is I also tried not to restore the SMS's. Thought it was the culprit, but still suffered the same fate.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mmick:
No need to be upset mate :D I used the full ROM at the begginning of a day and posted the second post at end of the second day, hour (real) countries perhaps are not the same ;)

I didn´t try the clean ROM but I also don´t want a clean ROM, I want a full-featured ROM but this one and TNT´s one crash frequently.

I suspect (a lot) of bigstorage or some bug on the write-to-internal-rom cache/buffer (if exists).

still runnning

still running the full version since it came out.- no issues of note (since I reflashed AT&T first)

#1- anyone notice that your WiFi key isn't stored, and you have to re-enter it 75% of the times you try to connect? never used to happen, but occurring with this rom, esp lately.

#2- how can I disable the "enhanced" file explorer options. I'm ususally happy with it, but I like being able to navigate using the drop-down list instead of the branch tree (faster for me).

Keep it up- I'm itching to try the next version.... getting twitchy,....

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ssunhing:
;)

Before I flashed the At&T official I had some S/R-H/R problems with the full version then after the At&T flash I reflashed the full edition again, no more freezing......no more S/R becoming H/R......it was ROCK SOLID for me. Being a flash junkie I went ahead to try one of PDAViet's ROMs & I find it a bit faster than the R32 full, so far I've run this Rom for about a week without any drama. I've yet to try Faria's R32 clean version though.

Happy Flashing............(flashed about 12 different roms today trying to look for something in the older roms)

WM 6.1 ROMs are very unstable be it the Faria one, TNT, etc. I tested several, including those "naked" or clean.

After I install some (useful) software like HTC Home and some other 2-3 programs and after some hours it froze (it did with Faria, TNT, etc).

TNT´s WM6.1 is a little more stable (takes longer to froze) but Faria´s WM6.1 is faster.

I´ll go back to WM6.0

My top hat off to you Faria and Dr. Puttingham,

Just got my phone a week ago, it was loaded with the following:

IPL - 1.04 / SPL - 2.03

Version:

----------------------+------------------+

ROM VERSION:	3.62.502.3

ROM date:	10/11/07

Radio Version:	1.54.07.00

----------------------+------------------+

Identity:

----------------------+------------------+

Model no:	HERM100

Platform:	PocketPC

----------------------+------------------+

I must say after reading 42 pages with 419 posts:eek:, i was hoping i would not be facing any real difficulties in installing your ROM.

I guess for a n00b like me the best thing was reading MrVanx's Hermes Guides;) [http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php] so all was needed for me to put your super ROM on my PPC was the 2 steps....

1. HardSPL v7 update

2. Install the new Faria-R32 / Dr Puttingham WM6.1 Pro HERMES ROM

So far been using it for a day and i can't say that i've faced any problems with: dropped calls, wi-fi or syncing...

I'm still waiting for my 4gig SD Card... hope it comes in today...

So once again thanks for a nice ROM and excellent thread indeed....:rolleyes:

Ciao!:D

Today I bought Hermes and device information says it is installed with Faria.R-32 (protocol version 32.53.7018.01H)

I have a problem with today screen plugin witch I can't get off.

It is on the bottom and there is buttons for battery and comm. manager

I have removed all items from "today" - screen settings, but this one still hangs on.

have you tried flashing normally first an official ROM prior to flashing wm6.1. (flashing in the normal way using RUU) so far, for me, after 48 hours using faria, even with extensive use of persistent storage, I no longer have the freezing syndrome.

I would disagree with you that wm6.1 is unstable because I have seen it run on my HTC Trinity (dopod d810) and even my very old HTC Himalaya for a month now. If it can perform very well on these devices, then it should on the Hermes... it's just a matter of how to do it. Of course, not all devices behave exactly the same; BUT, there is a reason why it is not functioning properly on your device.

Enhanced File Explorer Option

Thank you Faria and DrP for the great rom! I loaded the full rom and ran for a while. Then I flashed to the clean rom. Running the clean rom right now and it's fantastic! The only thing I have been trying to do is get the file explorer from the full rom on the clean rom. Is there anyway to enable those options?

Thank you again and keep up the great work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mmick:
I didn´t do that procedure but I reflashed Schaps latest WM6.0 and runs just fine so it should be something with WM6.1 "rip"... I´ll wait for a no-brainer install of WM6.1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
I am now at 3 days without a hard reset with this ROM. What seems to have done it finally for me, is turning off "SD memory power management" using Schaps Advanced Config.

Before I couldn't go 24 hours without a hard reset. This seems to be the cure for me, give it a try!

did you install the full rom or the clean rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hotmail:
Could you provide more details around your test method and what's running on your phone. It seems unlikely that it's a ROM issue if the symptoms are inconsistent across identical hardware. More likely it's some other variable, like differences in MicroSD cards, bad blocks in memory (search "mtty"), a restore from backup, radio version, applications installed, etc.

I've been running the full ROM for many weeks now with no issues whatsoever. No spontaneous hard resets, no lock-ups requiring soft resets, etc. I flashed directly from Schap's 4.3 (not a big storage ROM). I did increase Page Pool to 10MB first, but then just flashed via USB using the RUU. I'm also using radio 1.54.07 which I didn't change from when I was using Schap's ROM.

After flashing I made made minor adjustments with Advanced Config to suit my tastes - Comm Manager, Today icons, mostly just cosmetic stuff. I don't run HTC Home, HTC X-Button, or Large Start Menu - disabled all that. Updated my Today screen to tidy things up a bit... just Mail, Calendar, and Pocket Digital Clock. Then I configured my network settings for AT&T from a CAB install, setup to sync with my work Exchange server, installed Quick Menu, Core Player, TCPMP, Resco Explorer, Live Search, and few other utilities... and about a dozen games.

Everyone's methods and choices for configuring the device is a little different. I just wonder if that's driving the differences in ROM performance. Not the ROM itself. Just my (long-winded) 2 cents....

i hope this one works..

did anyone test the video call function??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
Since I am just testing the freezing stuff, I didn't even put so much software. Just code wallet pro 6 and resco explorer 6.17. Test method would be to use it normally at work: do some sms, input some notes, make / receive calls, check/send push mail, listen to music, watch a video (with full screen bug)

The issue is not spontaneous hard resets, but hard resets after lockups. the device freezes in the middle of any ppc operation - then you will naturally soft reset because it is no longer responding. Upon soft reset, one of two things can happen: either (1) your device hangs on boot splash which leaves you no choice but to hard reset (despite repeated SR) OR (2) your device soft resets normally, but boots up as if it has been hard reset wiping your data clean.

if you have seen our other threads regarding this issue, we have practically tried various things just to get wm6.1 running on our hermes. definitely, we have come across such things as bad memory blocks which we don't have. i also have tried switching sd card brands. we have various suspicion depending on our experiences: i.e. radio compatibility, sd card power management, big storage, etc. we are now testing to find out the culprit, and gregma is running 3 days with his method while I ran 2 days+ with my method which failed last night.

We've been asking people around for their opinion and feedback on our threads to analyze it. Thanks btw for your input on this issue.

contrary to what you might think, although we may have the same model, certain late releases of the hermes do have changes in hardware. So, not all are identical. For instance, some models have the 'B' CPU while I have the 'A' version. this is true even for other devices as well.

Is mms working on you?

I configured my network settings with network wizard. Same cab as I used succesfully with my previously owned Trinity (cooked Mary's 6.1 ROM).

Now, this will send, but it doesn't receive. This doesn't even try. Could it be that my operator doesn't recognize this as mms capable phone?

I also tried with Schap's "Setup operator", but with that it doesn't even send.

Also there seems to be problem when gprs connection is on and mms needs to disable that for sending and establishing new connection for mms. It asks my permission to cut that connection, but it can't do it. More strange is that when I try to manually cut it, from "g" icon on top, there isn't disable button nor the "red - button" works. So "g" icon and Arcsoft thinks there is active connection, but rest of the phone doesn't see it?

Hope you understood even part what I was explaining with my limited ability of english :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
I had no problem sending/receiving an mms. I used a network-wizard.cab found on the previous page of this thread.

as for your disconnect button, just run Settings->System->Advanced Config and locate the <Data Connections: GPRS disconnect: Enable Button> then tap Done and reset to take effect.

cheers!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jukkus:
Yes I know that disconnect button thing. It is enabled and working until arcsoft tries to disable connection.

After that, the button dissapears, but connection is still alive. At least Arcsoft think's so, because it is continuously asking permission to disconnect active connection. Also "G" - icon shows that connection is active, but I cannot disconnect it with "red - phone" button. Only way to get out of this is softreset.

Gonna try that another version of network wizard. Hope it works.

I installed both. Same on both. Same on every WM6.1 ROM that has BigStorage enabled.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
I would think the same myself. However, *every* 6.1 ROM that has BigStorage enabled does a hard reset within 24 hours on my device. *Every* 6.1 ROM that does NOT have BigStorage enabled (unfortunately only one) does not hard reset even running a week.

Now, however, disabling the SD Power Management, a 6.1 ROM with BigStorage enabled has now been running for over 4 days without a reset.

Seems pretty obvious to me that the problem lies with some interaction between the new 6.1 and BigStorage and the SD power management. I was hoping to find an identical ROM one with BigStorage and one without BigStorage, but it seems as if that is not a possibility for some reason, thus I can't say for 100% sure that this is the case. I'll leave it at less than 5% chance that it's something else.

At least I know have a work-around, and I'll be changing 6.1 ROM's tonight to verify that it's not just a work-around with this ROM.

As far as testing methodology goes ALL runs have identical methods:

Test Environment

Cingular 8525

Sandisk 6GB Micro-SD

Radio ROM 1.54.07.00

Test setup

Flash to original Cingular WM6.0 ROM

Install all extended ROM apps

wipe 6GB micro-drive

reset device

Flash to test ROM (I try to use the cleanest version of ROM they produce)

reset device

Install CAB that sets mail and MyDocuments to SD card

reset device

Install Cingular GPRS CAB

Install MMS (if it's not included)

Setup Exchange server and sync

Testing method

Make/receive phone calls

Send/receive SMS messages

Send/receive Exchange email

That's it. It's identical for all ROM's I've tried. In every single case, if I put on a WM6.1 ROM that has bigstorage enabled I will experience a frozen device, and when attempting a reset with the reset button, it will hard reset within 24 hours.

In every case I can go back to a 6.1 ROM that does NOT have bigstorage enabled and it will run successfully for at least 5 days.

In every case I can go back to a 6.0 ROM that has bigstorage enabled and it will run successfully for at least 5 days.
