Strange Music Playback Issue

Add me to the list of those praising this great "clean" ROM. It's an excellent WM 6.1 ROM all around. I was swayed to try the PDAViet ROMs for a while, but still like the clean versions from the chefs here better.

Had a very strange music playback problem yesterday that maybe someone else has encountered. With all my ROM flashing, this problem was one I had never encountered. I don't think it's this ROM, but maybe someone has some theories on the cause.

The music playback was through A2DP and it sounded excellent (with BitPool at 64). The problem was that each song would only play for exactly 28 seconds. After that the player would go to the next song and play that one for 28 seconds, and so on.

Did not see any settings in WMP for song "sampling" or playing "intros", so not sure what could have caused it. The only cure was a soft reset. I did install the Oxios Memory app...wonder if it killed some process that WMP uses??

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] linksavage:
Thanks Dr. Sorry if this is a newbie question ... I ran it, and it flashed the entire AT&T std ROM. I don't see anything called ROMInside anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
Steve, technically speaking, is it possible to "extract" a program from a ROM? Or are there any tweaks around to change an already existing program to look different ?

I admire Jose's taste so much that I am ready to get myself into trouble !

All the best

Hope you don't mind if I interject. I think you'll find what you're looking for with the HTC Home Customizer. With it you can change fonts and colors of the clock. There's a detailed explanation of how to do so located on the same site, here. If you take a look at the Segoe Bold Grey Shaded font by emunutz you'll find what appears to be the same font used in Faria's ROM.

You might also look into Pocket Digital Clock by Ionized. It's far more robust when it comes to changing fonts and such since it doesn't use PNG files with very specific size, format, and file names. Instead it uses a TTF font file not unlike the type you would use on your PC. Also has some good opacity and color effects.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] prozac4312:
Is there anyway someone here could take me through a step by step walkthrough of how to upgrade to this 6.1 ROM?

I'm interested in it but don't want to mess my phone up in the process...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Then you did right. I extracted that exe with winrar which is how I can see the file contents. You're home free. HardSPL7 and flash away.

(I'll update my post to reflect this, thanks!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] linksavage:
Thanks ... will do.

BTW, so I'm clear, had I opened the AT&T ROM with Winrar, I would have seen the ROMInside file there ... as a cab or exe file?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
@prozac4312 - Start with mrvanx's most excellent The HTC Guide: Hermes (aka MrVanx's Hermes Upgrade Guide) - (08-02-08) and also the Hermes Wiki. (Yes it's a lot of reading but knowledge is power! :cool: )

@hotmail - Right on the money brother! I personally seldom use the HTC Home plugin so I had forgotten emunutz's util. Good call, thanks!

@stangeek - I'll have to look into that. Right now I'm playing with the PDAViet 19701 build and am pretty happy with it (but I keep coming back to Faria's Clean....)

@linksavage - yes.

BTW, Faria sends his regards, he's even more busy than I am (which is pretty busy!) so he's very short on time here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stangeek:
Thanks. I seem to be having odd problems with that Media Player app. Today, it completely lost sight of the SDHC card. Had to restart and then delete the two folders it creates on my Storage card, update the library again, and then it played fine. I think I've heard of this storage card issue (where it goes missing??), but it had never happened to me before. at least the phone (file explorer) did see the Storage card. :)

Buttons

:(:confused: Hello, I use Faria/Dr.P, but all roms with WM6.1 have same problem. Sometimes my front buttons (4-way button), OK, green, red call button dont work. But when I use OK button on the side or ring button just once, then work again my front buttons. Has somebody any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
I'd reflash myself.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thegreenest:
Sorry, my English isnt so good, how do you mean that? The problem is, that all wm6.1 roms do that. Does your hermes do that too?:eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] I_M_I_2:
Mine does that, and not only with 6.1 but also with the best wm6 roms , like the Schaps 4.31.

I don't know if I'm right, but I would reinstall the hard SPL, the Official HTC ROM and then my favorite ROM.

I hope this helps

And what is the official htc rom? Does HTC release official 6.1 rom or just 6.0?

how can I get super bright installed and mapped to a button? That's one of my must used apps... btw, so far, GREAT ROM!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jwinget:
I installed this as my first non official rom and i must say that it went extremely well and no problems. I followed the instructions from all the guides and i had no problems! This Rom is great! My GPRS wasn't working so I called att about the username password for the wap.cingular access point. They no longer use one and as soon as I took that out, it was fine. I use the radio from the wm6 official release 1.54.07? You all know which one i mean. I live in Washington State and this works fine for me. I was looking for posts on radio roms and none from Washington. Thanks for all the hard work and easy install packaging.

Love this ROM but.....

...is it too soon to ask if anyone has found a working MMS fix?

I have tried turning off SMS Threading, the Shamanix HTC ConnectionSetup cab as mentioned in post 652. I did play around with an MMS Composer cab and managed to send an MMS to myself but only received an SMS. There is also mention of a fix on Mio A701. Tried it on my Hermes100 and nothing!!!

Please can someone help.

This is the only problem i have ewperienced with this ROM

PS - Good work guys!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kevdel:

only 1 issue

when I connect it to Vista pc the screen darks out and although the screen is responsive (for unlocking) i cant get the screen to be bright while connected to USB

any ideas?

Vista and WDMC
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Darkhynde:
Check your power settings. There are brightness settings for when

you are not attached to a power source (charger or usb cable) as

well as settings for when it is running on battery alone. Hope that

helps.

MMS Issue

First off,

let me say this is the best rom i have ever used.

I have been around a while and had both 8125 and 8525 and flashed many roms.

This is amazing.

Thanks to Dr. P and Faria for the hard work.

Now,

To my understanding this rom does not support outgoing MMS on cingular/AT&T?

There have been no fixes for MMS to work?

We all seem to be able to send MMS, we just can't receive any?

Is this correct?

Have i missed anything?

Have there been any updates?

I have been patienlty waiting for a solution to arise, and i have tried everything under the sun to get my MMS to work with this rom.

Just wanted to make sure before i abort and go to a different rom. Cause i need my MMS.

Thanks,

Beep

Information to the ones having the d-pad buttons problem (after a while they stop to work, soft reset solves it for a few hours...and happens the same after a hard reset):

- Flashing again a stock rom (read this) then again faria rom DOES solve the issue...at least it solved the issue on mine, already 3 days without a problem...

To Dr. P: extra info to try to track down the problem:

- in my case the problem started after my 4rth or 5fth hard reset without reflashing (over a 1-2 months time of normal usage, no specific reason to do the HRs, mostly because i install on the device all kind of ****) ...and only after 1-2 days of normal usage...and only after at least 1 hour of standby time (4 times while listening music with a bt headset and htc audio manager and 1 time overnight with the phone connected to the ac and doing nothing)...

- Previous rom was an AT&T stock without bigstorage ofc then unlocked (sim and supercid using pof util) and HardSPL v7...then faria then some 1.5 radio...

- Ask for any extra info you might need, cant think of any extra detail myself

- I know its hard to track a problem if it takes so much time to test but maybe this can help to track down the problem for future releases...BTW...is there still planned any further releases?

And again Faria and Dr.P, tyvvvvvm for a great rom :D

hey guys

i used to have the black satin WM6 Rom on the device and i've noticed a huge difference in the battery life. The " Faria-R32 / Dr Puttingham WM6.1" ROM on my device will give a battery life of about 1 day.. The Black satin ROM gave me 5 days.. any idea why the 2 would have such a difference?

bluetooth and wireless are off with no applications running (except the os)

device is an ex Orange M3100
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] naveen:
was 3g enabled in that rom? or in your comm mangager was the 3g disabled?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kevdel:
i believe 3g was enabled and i did use it

i can't for the life of me figure out what would give such a drastic difference in performance.. i mean this performance of 1 day was similar to the WM5 build that the phone was getting before i updated to the black satin rom

don't get me wrong.. love these ROMs and the apps rock but the battery life wants me to go revert to WM6

Jose Faria Update

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure you've noticed that Faria's been MIA for quite a while, not cooking ROM's as he used to. He's been very busy, as all of us, trying to keep his family fed, etc. We converse pretty regularly via text and an occasional voice call.

He just called me on the phone from England... using an angle grinder, he threw some crap into his eyes, having a very hard time seeing. He's going to the Doctor's for the second time tomorrow, hopefully they'll get some more of the pieces out.

He wishes all of us the best and hope's to be back online as soon as he can.

More updates as soon as I know.

hi, i have the cingular 8525 Hermes and i followed Dr. Puttingham's intructions on #6 but i am having some issues.

The first time i did it and (first step) flashed with the original cingular release to bring down my SPL from 2.03....it worked and i was down to SPL 1.-- something.....then when i tired the (second step) Hard SPL....my phone losses the usb connection to my computer and i get a install file prompt on my phone after that nothing happens because the phone is not connected to the PC. ..... is this happening because i have Vista ?????

And Now after trying a couple of times, after (first step) my SPL is still 2.03 even though i have flashed it with the original ROM.....and now when i initiate the Hard SPL 7, the options to choose SPL in the first step are all inactive.....
