I still have some bugs to work out with the new ROM I'm working on. Every now and then on an ActiveSync connection, it will freeze up and require me to pull the battery. I have no idea what could cause this.

Also, since this is a direct port from an OEM Tornado ROM, it works with the old camera 2.58 which, although not as nice looking as 4.00, works MUCH better, is slightly faster, has better picture quality, and NEVER has brightness problems. This is the WM5 camera and will give you the better picture you remember from the original WM5 ROM your phone came with.

However, one annoying thing is the CODECs that work with the old camera won't work with Arcsoft MMS newer than 3.0.x.x. It's odd. I guess this isn't that big of a deal, but I can't understand why.

If nobody minds using an old MMS, I can put this version up pretty soon as soon as I figure out the ActiveSync issue.
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
Like you said, new cam looks nicer, but the quality isn't better than old cam. In fact, when I am going to use phone for pictures, I always take my other phone. As for MMS, most of us don't even use it much. Don't think that would be a big issue. :) We are ready when you are mate.

Were you able to get the automatic time updating to work on new ROM?

Thanks for all your troubles Gnat!!
[HTC Tornado] geekvideo.org:
I agree with Markanthony, that as far as the camera goes most of us don't really use MMS, and I am willing to sacrifice MMS for better picture quality. Thanks again for the awesome work.
[HTC Tornado] smartamazing:
I agree also with markanthonypr we don't really use that much the camera it is ok for us if you would like to use a lower version as to remove the bugs....by the way are the bluetooth and light issue solved already?

@GnatGoSplat

I knew somethings cooking in the kitchen. Its just a tickler from me and I am sorry if that took you away from your routine.

Since I am responding this from my mobile I will pm you later once I get to a pc two files (Bronzeres.dll and SPBattMet.CAB) which I hope you can include in the new ROM. This Bronzeres.dll have additional png for the Sliding Panel homescreen which I have copied to my device and works fine. The SPBattMet.CAB is for the battery indicator on the top bar. I find this to be better than the other one which I cant remember its name. Sorry!

As for the mms like the rest I think its out of fashion and quite expensive to use too. So I dont mind not having it.

@Markanthonypr

Have you tried NetworkWizard.cab? If you dont have this cab I can pm you later with the file. Its a breeze to set all the operator settings using wizard. Its from HTC I believe.

Thanks to all of you and have a nice day.
[HTC Tornado] Pumpiron579:
I use it. I have an unlimited plan.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
@GnatGoSplat

@markanthonypr

Here are the files I promised earlier.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I hope Gnat can "repair" the mms to make it work.:D
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
Gnat didn't say we wouldn't have MMS, just can't install latest one

@illi: Thanks for the cab, downloaded and will be testing in a few minutes. Will let you know how that goes. I will Edit this post so I don't make this tread any larger with the results.

@Gnat: We know you are a busy man, take your time, don't let us rush you... We apreciate very much your efforts!

Problem with the SP5 key fixes

I used the Sp5 key fixes on the first page and noticed that they open the WMP for a fraction of a second before opening messaging. Anyone else notice this or is it only me?

It wouldn't be such a problem except if you have music playing in the background then opening up messaging restarts the currently playing song.

I love this build by the way.
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Removing t9 and xt9 input methods...

Has anyone sucessfully removed these input methods from this build?

When I make the following registry changes I get unusual results...

\HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\ME\DefaultInputModule=0

\HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\ME\TextInputMode=0

..one for instance is that I can't type in the bluetooth passcode keys. I have to reset the registry keys to '1'.
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
T-Mobile SDA

I noticed that when this build syncs with Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista the Programs and Services Section adds the following entries...

Get Help for Your T-Mobile SDA

Manage Your T-Mobile Account

Visit the T-Mobile Website

I assume the first entry is unfixable: that there is a GUID that the phone provides Microsoft to identify the phone and Microsoft provides the URL, becuase if the URL were embedded in this build it would be cool to point that URL to this page.

It would be cool to have a patch to identify the phone as a WM6 AT&T phone for those of us on AT&T - so the manage and visit links would work.
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Window Media Player Button Mapping for non-m devices...

It appears that the button mapping for media player needs to be manually remapped after flashing for the SP5 since it has the SP5m settings. Specifically the play/pause needs to me mapped to ENTER, the next needs to be mapped to RIGHT and previous needs to be mapped to LEFT.
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Customization of the home screen and comm manager colors?

Anyone going to try to make a black or gray version of the home page?

Anyone going to try to modify the resources to make the comm manager in black or gray? Or even in a matching green?
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
My ROM locked up HARD last night after trying to end all running programs in Task Manager. :( Definitely some things still need to be worked out.

You probably need to remove ALL registry entries for T9 in order to completely get rid of it. I may have a .cab for this, I'll have to check. Same applies for the button mapping, there are custom button mappings for the SP5m which is what I have, the default would probably work for you so removing the button mapping key should do the trick. I'll have to look that up when I get home.

I think this build may have the customizable Comm Manager from the Shadow. I'm not positive (I've made so many unreleased test builds I can't keep track). If it does, all you'd need to do is copy images with the correct file names and change a registry key to change the color or even the look of the buttons. The next build will have the customizable Comm Manager if this one doesn't.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
@GnatGoSplat

Thanks for the update. What a pity! I hope you dont face sleepless nights cracking this ROM.

Thanks

Take care

edit: quite strange as I dont face much issues even if there were, its because of my installed softwares.

Please, include Bluetooth DUN in future releases.
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
What is that, does it come with WM6.1?
[HTC Tornado] marco899:
No, it's from wm5 but i also want this future back. With Dun (dialup network) you can use you're tornado as a modem for another pda or laptop.
[HTC Tornado] tezet:
Bluetooth Dial Up Networking, it allows much simpler and more compatible Internet sharing than the newer Internet sharing based on PAN.

It comes with WM6, I'm not sure whether it comes with WM6.1, but i guess it does.

Here's the WM6 version, it works on WM6.1 as well.
[HTC Tornado] djsleepwalker:
A little quirk I discovered. I know my sig still says Nitro's 6.0 but I have been using your 6.1 for a few weeks now, and one thing that I've discovered is that I'm having a lot more trouble with international texts. My girlfriend went back to Russia at the end of last summer and we've been talking primarily via email and text messages.

With Nitro's 6.0, texts worked flawlessly, even internationally. But with GSS's 6.1, when she sends me a text, and I reply (using the threaded SMS box) I get an immediate return message telling me that the number isn't a valid number and that I need to use a standard ten-digit number. In order to respond to her texts I have to create a new message and "Add Recipient", and then it works fine.

She's the only person I text with internationally, and she's the only person with whom I have difficulties responding to text messages. And it only started when I bumped up to 6.1. I may or may not go back to Nitro's 6 and see if it's a problem with the network or the software. Or the phone. But I really hope it's not the phone. :)
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
I had a similar problem with a US number. I resolved it doing the following. I removed user from my contact list, and re-added to contacts from the recieved SMS. Then it saved it the same way it was being recieved, and for some reason that fixed it. It was a matter of a +1 in front of the number if I'm not wrong. In your case, it might be a +0 or 000 for international. Hope this helps. Share your findings with us.

@illi: I installed the Networking Wizzard. After I install it, I don't find any icons to open a program, nor does it auto start any query. I just don't see anything happen past the message that it was succesfully installed. What should I look for? My problem got worse, now I just can't do nothing over GPRS. It says it connected, but everything I try says, Remote party closed connection, or im not connected or stuff like that. I've checked and re-checked, and all settings are identical to those sent by Suncom, and used on my other phone. Reflashed Radio and ROM and nothing. Went back to TMO Ship Rom and no GPRS connection there either. Next I'll do tonight is format BINFS and start from scratch again. I'm either doing something wrong or I busted my radio :(
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I'm saddened to here the software didnt solve your pending issues. I installed it like a breeze. Before using this wizard I use DataConnection from HTC too but I need to complete the process by hand-amending the mms settings. It was a pain. May I suggest before you do the BINFS, you do a "Clear Storage". For your info I always do things twice before flashing any ROM (but not the flashing of course:D); I'll do "Clear Storage", the CID/Application Unlock and BINFS, then flash the ROM. I do this with the believe that I can get the most RAM. I must be lucky!:cool:

Wish you luck!
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
I will take your suggestion mate. Surely I hate to Flash again, will try all posible before I flash. Do you remember how that program works? Is there a shortcut to open it somewhere once you install it? Thats what I cant find. I wouldn't doubt that it would make my life easier, its a pain to have to be jumping from one place to the other to set up my network everytime.:)

its all installed into \Windows. After installing/checking that all the settings are correct, I delete ALL the wizards' files.
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
I must be doing something wrong then mate. I just re-installed the cab, and I don't see no changes on my GPRS settings. All is as I had it. I did find a file inside /windows connmgr_wifi_wizard.cpl. Its the only Wizard file I found.

Molskis_Devpack_modified_for_tornado_by_duke_stix

I have been trying to dump this ROM using Molskis_Devpack_modified_for_tornado_by_duke_stix but I get an error "viewimgfs.exe encountered a problem....bla bla". Reinstalled Molskis Devpack but still the same problem. @Gnat... any idea before I post this question in the relevant forum?

BTW I am trying to get hold of the ccore.dll file to do some test on the i600 Samsung Carousel/Card Wheel homescreen. Its no way that this file can be copied from \windows to SDCard or PC.

(A cook in the making I hope!! LOL!)
[HTC Tornado] Blackdragon_860:
Yes, Please @Gnat

Can you post a kitchen oder a tutorial about modify this rom

i would like to cook a german rom
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
PAN vs. Bluetooth DUN

It would be nice to have both installed on the ROM.

I like the fact that once you setup Bluetooth DUN you can connect from your notebook through your phone to the internet without taking your phone out of your pocket. Of course like a classic modem if you are on the internet your phone doesn't ring.

The big advantage of Bluetooth PAN is that your phone will ring if you get a call, put your data connection on hold, and reinitiate data once the call is over, but you have to enable Bluetooth PAN on your phone every time you connect.

If anyone knows how to initiate a PAN from the notebook instead of the phone, or if anyone knows how to use Bluetooth DUN and have your phone ring, please post.

Background Colors During Calls

When I get a call from someone in my contacts or an unknown number I get a grey background. Is this the case for everyone?

I am surprised that the background color, at least for unknown calls, doesn't get picked up from the home page color scheme, of course Microsoft's wireless manager doesn't pickup that attribute either.

Isn't that under Options Settings Signatures?
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Looks like tools\options\signatures from within outlook. Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
Glad I could be of help :)
[HTC Tornado] rameshb_v:
Even I have the same problem. I guess the files for FTP services are missing. For this problem, I have done the following:

1. Uncheck the "Accept Incomring Beams" in settings.

2. Install Mo-Blue 2.1. http://moblue.hejhej.org/

3. Under Menu-> Options -> settings: check "Auto - Accept Incoming Beams"

Now you can receive files to the phone. To send files, I use "Resco Explorer".
[HTC Tornado] rameshb_v:
Thanks for the DUN cab. Laptop is now able to detect the Dial up Network service. I dont have a way to test it.

Do you have any cab for PAN ?
[HTC Tornado] tezet:
I don't have any, but I think it was shipped with every single ROM since WM6. It is the app named "Internet sharing".

Gnat,

Do you think you can exclude the msyh.ttf from the new ROM? This 10MB file (I think from http://cindy.it580.com/159) seems like not being used as my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink points to segoe.ttf and sunglobe.ttf.

Looking forward to your new ROM.
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
You are may be using the old ROM, the new one does not contain that file you are talking about.
[HTC Tornado] csyee:
Yes, you are right. After checked, I was using the poium ROM. I have now change to RUU_TORNADO_WM6.1_19202_Clean_0.4b. Now I have more space in my main memory. Thanks.

GPRS Not working & menus inaccessible

Hi

I just installed this ROM yesterday on my old SP5, and I can't get a GPRS internet connection.

I've deleted all the settings and re-entered them (T-Mobile UK), I get a G icon and I can get a Wifi connection, but no luck with GPRS.

I noticed the GPRS Authentication menu isn't working and selecting CSD Line Type menu option returns "The settings could not be opened".

Is that the problem? How can it be fixed?

Thanks

SOLVED: by updating the Radio Version :-)
[HTC Tornado] thacen:
I flashed my sp5m with this new ROM.. it is quite cool, the home screen is really cool, but I prefer clarity with smartmonitor, facade & fizztraveller. I got a lots of information with it. Some problem I face with this new ROM is AudioNotes's autorecord is not working, etrust antivirus's update is not working..camera video recording not working.. and in the included Jbed I could not installed any .jar file saying file error.. but I solved it installing another Jbed on it.

the overall result is very cool .. but as some of my prefer applications are not working properly I am thinking of going back to wm5 or should I wait for another upgrade of this ROM?

If I go back to wm5 is there any issue? or can I just flash with those old rom please clarify me.

Update

Hi Guys what I'm just wondering what happened to GnatGoSplat...Its been a while that this ROM has not been updated I'm waiting for it to become stable and fix...
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
I'm still around, the updated version turned out to be very buggy and not detecting USB correctly. I haven't had much time to try to attempt a fix because the weather is warmer and the wife wants me to do more outdoorsey stuff with her in my free time. :)

I'll definitely have more time soon, it's going to start getting too hot to do anything outdoors.
[HTC Tornado] smartamazing:
Thanks for the response can't wait for your next update...I just hope it would be soon because I have been using WM6 for quite sometime already...
[HTC Tornado] kancrutt:
yes..cant wait for next release..why Tornado Thread so slow?

Ha... Women :rolleyes:! they are the same all around the planet ! :p

Hey illi,

When I grow up, I wanna be like you! lol Good Morning mate. Gues what? I was able to use the Networking Wizzard cab, however, it doesn't have the settings for Suncom Wireless :( . Gues what #2 LOL I finally got MSN to work hurrrrraaayyyyyyyyyyy ( that would be Weeeeeepaaaaaa in PR) lol the e sounds like in dead not like in deed(lol I can hear you trying it Weeepaaaaa Weeeeepaaaaa Weepppa LOL)

So... Here is how I got it to work. I installed an M$ Pocket MSN which when you install that version, it throws you to a message saying to log in to MSN Mobile website... and i installed over that version the one extracted by Nitro(for some odd reason, it didnt ask to uninstall previous version) ..... and ..... I WeeeeeeeePaaaaaaa MSN is working for me :)

So, whats up with you and all this going on with WM6.1, Anything new? Do we have a stable ROM ?

EDIT: @ Gnat: illi and I will drop by this weekend to take care of your yard while you work on the ROM :) Wouldn't that be nice mate? :)
[HTC Tornado] illi:
@markanthonypr

No. 1 - why would you want to be like me when you grow up?

No. 2 - Good night mate (Yes! its almost 11:30pm here NOW. lol)

No. 3 - I have been using Networking Wizard since Gnat's 6.1.... he he he... and I read today somewhere in this forum to put the NetworkWizardAuto.lnk into \Windows\StartUp; so I did but doesnt see anything even after reboot. Just leave it there though. If you want for Suncom Wireless I suggest take a look inside the cab file and try to re-construct the registy and insert Suncom settings... lol (again!)

No. 4 - never liked MSN, so I dont seemed excited with this news (convince me to install MSN... lol!. Congrats anyway.

No. 5 - I was working or rather stuggling with Blackdragon_860 to make the wifi work. Blackdragon extracted the rom from the emulator. After a couple of days I must admit it wasnt easy to cook ROMs. Salute to Gnat and all rom cookers.

EDIT: No problem Mark. You do the yard and I supervise both of you.. HA HA HA HA .....:D:D

Everything worked fine with this rom except for two issues

- The alarm sound is too soft even at its loudest. WMPlayer's sound is ok
