Please help.

I installed new ROM v15, but after that, I can't connect my BT GPS to the phone with tomtom.

add new device (bluetooth)

found the gps antenna and established a secure connection with passcode

INFO: your smartphone has connected with BT GPS

Assigned serial port COM 6

started program GPSCOM for serial port 6

reset the phone and start tomtom.

RESULT: no gps found

I forget something, or something wrong?

Other people had the same problem?

thanks for your help
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
people should i add htc home in the next rom?
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
yes! that would be awesome!!!
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
what do you think about theses new htc home icons
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
very sharp...

...here is a silly question, what is the difference with HTC home?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
htc home looks like this
[HTC Excalibur] alanowiz:
i dont like it it looks kinda cheesy
[HTC Excalibur] superminipoo:
you know, if u tweak that screen a little bit it would look awesome
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
what you meann?
[HTC Excalibur] superminipoo:
leave the clock on the 1st half of the screen and make the bottom half like a carousel going side to side or up and down.

kinda like MACs side to side scroll, but leave the big clock on top.

like the new android carousel, with the big clock, or the circle clock.

or big clock on the left and carousel on the right. hehe i think too much.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
if you put the htc home on the rom, would all the home features (like weather) work? that would be very nice.
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
it would be nice to have it as an option just in case we want some change in our day. hehe
[HTC Excalibur] superperry:
Does anyone know this company http://www.velocitymobile.com/ ? The homescreen seems to be decent we need a weather that working right though.
[HTC Excalibur] killswitch:

Deleting unused pages from the Panels

I have been looking for information on how to delete the pages that I don't need or want showing on the homescreen. Example of that is the "My Programs" panel I have 20 pages and I only need a few.

1. How can I make them less by deleting. How can I add if I need more. I use the "OldSAP favorites" to edit the names but don't see an option to delete/add.:confused:

2. How can I change the order of my panels; instead of having them as they are I would have the "Cphotodialer" second and "My Programs" third...etc/.

Update:

1. I have deteled the unused pages using the Registry Editor and it looks nice and nit.

2. I'm still messing around with the phone, nothing yet. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thnx'
[HTC Excalibur] SDJB:
Weather

The HTC homescreen looks a bit crowded to my taste, I like the ones you guys have put together better. The homescreen from the velocityMobile looks pretty good.

It would be nice to have the Clock on top and the Weather on the bottom on a large panel (similar to the Velocty Mobile, then the rest of the panels as they are right now.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
you have to delete them it the registry

go here [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\CMyApplication]

and delete the pages you dont what then go here "Pages"="Page1;Page2;Page3;Page4;Page5;Page6;Page7;Page8;Page9;Page10;Page11;Page12;Page13;Page14;Page15;Page16;Page17;Page18;Page19;Page20"

and delete the pages you dont what

and then go here

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome\CMyApplication]

and delete the pages you dont what then go here

"Pages"="Page1;Page2;Page3;Page4;Page5;Page6;Page7;Page8;Page9;Page10;Page11;Page12;Page13;Page14;Page15;Page16;Page17;Page18;Page19;Page20"

and delete the pages you dont what
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Do you actually have to delete them?? can we Place a : (for example after the page that we are done with? that way, if we need more down the line. we just move the : (for more pages)
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
i dont no but you could try
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
I just went to "Pages"="Page1;Page2;Page3;Page4;Page5;Page6;Page7 ;Page8;Page9;Page10;Page11;Page12;Page13;Page14;Pa ge15;Page16;Page17;Page18;Page19;Page20" and deleted the pages i dont want. Leaving the actual page keys still there and it worked.

This way if i ever want more i go back to "pages" and add a ;Page10

[HTC Excalibur] meh233:
For some reason I am having trouble changing the "Call XXXX' in photo dialer. I have used the OldSAP Favorites and also checked out the registry to make sure it is changing. Did a reset of the phone and nothing has changed. Anyone have any suggestions??

Great ROM btw.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Excalibur Photo Dialer

Did you go to Program Files> Excalibur Photo Dialer and make the necessary changes there, also you must make changes in the SMS sections. Now concerning OldSaps Tool a very good ideal in theory, but it does not make all the changes that needed in the registry and I also believe OldSap will get his tool completely fixed in a later version.......!:D
[HTC Excalibur] meh233:
Well I have updated the .lnk's with my numbers for both the dial and SMS. You don't put the contacts name in the link anywhere do you?
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
are you talking about when you change the photo dialer to the numbers of your contacts??

cause where the number is (+1-555-555-5555) you can put their number (+1-398-556-8936) or you can put the name like (last, first)

well atleast it works for the sms part, i assume it would work for the dialer too. just try it out and see if it works
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Also Make Changes Two Places In The Registry

HLM> Security> CHome> DefaultSettings> CPhoneDialer and add name and number and go to HLM> SOFTWARE> Microsoft> CHome> CPhoneDialer and make the same changes, name and number. To edit the number of your contact use " Total Commander's" (Edit Tool) in Program Fides> Excalibur PhotoDialer to edit all contact numbers from the defaul number "+1-555-555-1234" to your contacts number, hit save and close! After all is done, you must soft reset your mobile device, have fun....!:D
[HTC Excalibur] skisteven1:
definitely CANNOT flash over BT. USB only..
[HTC Excalibur] bnut:
ty. I'll go buy a new cable :)
[HTC Excalibur] meh233:
Fixed it. I was changing the registry in the wrong path. I had to go to HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome\CPhotoDialer.

Unable to Flash

Anyone else having problems flashing V17? I also tried Kavana's latest 080408 as well and they both give me an ERROR 270 (corrupted rom file?) at 3% while flashing.

I noticed some other has asked same question but I havn't seen a solution?

Stock T-Mobile running WinMo 6.0 with latest rom from T-Mobile's site
[HTC Excalibur] tenroc2o0o:
It's usually a bad idea. Phone takes longer to read store than it does internal flash. I'd always copy whatever ringtone u want to main memory if possible.

Otherwise just make sure they're in the root directory of the storage card.. they might show up. I know they do in WinMo Pro (my HTC Mogul).
[HTC Excalibur] tenroc2o0o:
Yes Definately Not. Bluetooth drivers are loaded by Windows which you're reflashing.

i just realized that the beep you get when you make a phone call has been silenced in your rom ricky.

it's not a huge deal, and i know i'm the odd man out here, but but i kinda liked the beep. it was a comforting confirmation that my phone number entry was actually successful.

is there a reg edit or something to get it back? no biggie but thought i'd ask just in case.

thanks!

Whats Changed?

============

1) Fixed Spelling in Chome Intetnet to Internet

2) CPhotoDialer Renamed to MyFaves

3) changed icon to look like My5 icon

4) Added a link to oldsap Favorites in Setting,MyFaves

6) Changed icon of oldsap Favorites

heres Some screenshots
[HTC Excalibur] skisteven1:
hey ricky,

I hate to be a hater (love your work, really appreciate all the work you're putting into these, i swear!), but is naming CPhotoDialer to "MyFaves" going to confuse people from tmobile? CPhotoDialer doesn't actually register your numbers with the tmobile servers so that you have free calls to those people, does it?

I'd just hate to see someone put in a contact and then make 8-million calls to them and end up with a huge bill -- y'know?

(I know this was negative, but really, I'm a big fan -- just trying to help make the rom the best it can be :))
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:

I might actually take the time and update the from 16 lol

i just hate redoing all the settings, hacks, etc over again lol

Nice touch

First of all I wanted to say congratulations and thanks to Rick and Kavana for this excellent ROM, it's really awesome piece of work. Also to guys like Mikey & Technology for their contribution to aid newbies (like me :) )

I don't know if you guys already knew this, but if you change registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome]

"DockOperatorBar"= --> SET TO 1

it makes the operator bar to stay locked with carrier and time information while navigating through the panels. I think it's nice so I wanted to share it with you

Thanks much, and thanks again for all the hard work!

Great ROM

Hi-

I flashed my unlocked dash to HTC's and then to Kavana's and now to this ROM. I love the new windows 6.1 and how much more reliable now (I can finally run STK reliably and not have to keep on rebooting all the time) and I love the threaded sms, etc etc.

Two complaints - is there a way I can fix (customize) either of these problems with the current rom, or if not, can they be fixed with an updated ROM?

1 - With the HTC rom, when I'd recieve a text message and the phone was in vibrate mode, it would do three short pulses (zz-zz-zz) and I'd know I had gotten a text. With all these new ROMs the vibrate for text messages AND calls is now the same (one long pulse - zzzzzz). It's far louder and obnoxious (people hear it, and the point of a vibration is to be unheard :)) and I don't know if I got a text or a call unless I wait a second and see if it vibrates again.

2 - With the HTC Rom the connection manager software was the HTC manager software. In Kavana's previous ROM, I remember seeing an option somewhere to switch back to the HTC connection manager instead of the default one, however I cannot find this option in the latest ROM. Is there an option to use, or can it be switched back to, the HTC Connection Manager? I prefer it greatly over the default one that is included in the ROM.

If somebody could let me know what can be done about either of these two problems that would be fantastic.

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] seabird:
Thanks to everyone for the ROMs, posts hints etc. I installed the kavana version a few days ago, but even though I much preferred the interface abd the spped, the phone keeps locking up unpredictably. I haven't found a pattern yet. Anyone else sorted that out? Does Ricky's ROM fix that issue does anyone know?

Also what's the weird behavior of the 0/TAB button. I can't tell when it is going to behave right and when not. It seems that whenever I enter a phone number with a zero in it, I have to press alt to get the zero but not for any other digits.

Does this ROM fix that issue too?

Thanks

[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Run The eT9 Software

Yes, the ZeRo "0" issue has been fixed, still you should run the eT9 software to be safe. I tested the newly just released version 6.1 (18) v3, and found out this morning that had a little battery drain. Therefore I will be going back to version 6.1 (18) v2, which I did not have any battery drain or memory leak. This little battery drain maybe due to the new sim card security that I have just installed on all my devices, it runs all the time. Overall, I still believe Rick's "REmake, ReDo" 6.1 ROM is faster and smoother than other 6.1 ROM's...............!

Keyboard Issue!

Hello,

The keyboard mapping is a tad off from my previous rom. When Attempting to input an @ symbol I get a british pound symbol. When I press the & key I get an @ symbol instead.. Well thats whats happening!

Any way to easily correct this and potentially fix it in your next amazing rom? Please do advise! I use this thing for alot of email and this would be a huge help

Thanks very much, super appreciative of the rom and having 6.1 on my dash, this keyboard thing is the only caveat........

Do a search in this thread....there is a fix for it :)
[HTC Excalibur] nrinzema:
Your a real help, thanks man.. thanks.

Okay I did a few searches and Ive made changes from 1033 to 1036 in the registry to no avail. If you have the solution to this problem I am experiencing I would kindly ask you to not hold said information hostage from me.

I have looked under search strings such as "keyboard mapping" keyboard layout" with dash and problem added in different combinations.

I am stuck..
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:

[HTC Excalibur] phil_white99:
nrinzema: Certainly searching is a good thing but, yeah, the posts on this topic aren't incredibly clear, but the way I did it seems easiest. Let me know if you find it to be also:

In the programs listings on your Ricky-ROMed phone's Start menu there is a folder called "My Tools". In it you will find a great Notepad application that, unlike Word Mobile, will let you edit text files in the \Windows folder. Run it.

Click the "Open" button and navigate into the \Windows folder (you may have to use the "Menu" button here to navigate to "My Device" to find that folder).

Scroll down to find the file called eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt (this is the most slow and painful part of the process and you won't see the .txt extension of the file) and open it.

Now you can just edit the file directly. For example, go down to the line that has "{J J £ £ 0x10}" and change the pound symbols to @ signs. You may ask, "How do I get to the @ sign when the key isn't mapped yet?!", but you can get at all the symbols by pressing the SYM button to the right of the SPACE bar.

Finally close and save the file. You may have to restart the phone for the changes to kick in.

I hope that helps.

[HTC Excalibur] cyndrax:
I've been lurking here a while, but this question made me want to chime in. I would be a little more worried about trademark violations than copyright violations. I am not a lawyer, but based on my understanding of trademark law, companies MUST attempt to prosecute tradmark violations when they become aware of them. If they do not, I believe they can loose the right to legal protection for that trademark in the future.

Not to mention I think it is unnecessarily confusing to user.

This all being said, I flashed v17 last night and think it is pretty goddamn sweet, so thanks for your work.
[HTC Excalibur] adaway:
I've flashed rickwyatt rom v15, and I've fixed the keyboard mapping for my Italian HTC s620.

Hoping that this can be useful to someone, you'll find my corrected keyboard mapping attached.

Unzip the file and put it in your mobile windows directory.

REMEMBER: this

keyboard mapping

is for

ITALIAN version

of UNBRANDED HTC s620.

Finally, a simple tips: BACKUP YOU CORRECT KEYBOARD MAPPING BEFORE FLASHING a new rom. :)

That's how I fixed my keyboard mapping after flashing rickwyatt rom :)
