which files and rgu edits did u remove to get rid of SQM? and also can u guide me what to remove to get rid of mms? its 4.0.31.34 version (elfin built in) i never use it, was thinking of removing mms and using the additional 2.73mb for additional packages.. i tried removing the dll files and edited the rgu but then it screwed up big time.. control panel applets could not run properly.. signal was on and off.. could not open programs.. BIG TIME SCREWED.. so i need to know what to remove to get rid of mms
[Touch GSM ROM Development] .dredd.:
Thanks for the info.... doing now the same... the operation finished.... rebooting....

............

Perfect!!!!!!!!

Amazing!!! opened at least 6-7 progz and got a call (the phone was in cradle connected to PC)... and I could answered it... later it took some seconds to build a call

THANK YOU ALL!!! I AM HAPPY WITH THIS ROM!!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Nice news guys!

Could you please tell me what it shows under

[Touch GSM ROM Development] wongh_hk:
I just flash the blackedition, and I had similar case.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Well...My opinion:

If yours looks like mine

then I'm afraid that the PP changer didn't work!

It's impossible for a 8MB_PP_ROM to have the same ProgMemory with a 16MB_PP_ROM!

Where did those 8MB go to or come from? However that would be cool! ;)

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] .dredd.:
Under "About" the memory is: 107,65MB

After SR the memory amounts:

Storage: 179,73MB

In use: 29,85MB

Free: 149,89MB

Program: 107,62MB

****!

Those f..cking Vista!:mad: So BlackEdition DOESN'T like Vista!

Well, here is the case:

I don't have a PC with Vista so even if I change something in the ROM I can't test it before I give it to you! And that's not right for me!

However, (maybe) another member (with Vista PC) is going to try another blackedition and we'll see if it is fixed!

Till then, you should try another ROM!

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
I agree, but available program memory has gone up, and the system is definitely faster, so I don't know what's changed...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
This confirms that the pagepool isn't changed by the tool (it will say so, but it looks at the wrong offset). Still 8 mb. Too bad it isn't simply changing the offset of the tools for newer roms.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jorisdekloris:
is this today screen included?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
No this is mine:)

The Today screen is as shown in 1st post's screenshots.

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jorisdekloris:
Whats your secret?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Search here and you will find many nice things for a Today Screen.

I use UltimateLaunch (with many cool icons found in this forum), SPB Weather, BatteryStatus and Effcomm!

Great done, FAst and looks awaysome :)

This is the ONE for my touch ....

Thank U so much 4 ur GREAT work and 4 sharing it :cool:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] captkkk:
Is it possible to have two sets of this ROM, one for ELF and one for ELFin, since ELFin can take up a bigger PP, if there will be a 16MB version for ELFin, it will be super.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] .dredd.:
kokotas:

I quote "captkkk".... it does indeed seem that Page Pool Changer had no influence to your LightRom pagepool (however I also experienced some enhancements in speed).

Now we have you as our only hope/chance to have 16MB pagepool version of your Black Rom for our poor Elfins....:rolleyes::)

Thank you

Ps. your rom is still excellent... works like charm even with 8MB PP... but you know we are humans and we need always the best :):)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ZILLKA:
Testing. BTW, what about PP size 6 mb?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
I am trying stuff about the PP size and about the Vista issue!

I can't test the cooked (trial) ROMs or anything at the moment.

I had an accident ...

Flashing Fever! => Broken pins in the miniUSB port! => No connectivity!

I'll have to wait to fix it...

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mangokun:
accidental presses solved

thanks again to kokotas and vijay555.

kokotas for his ROM that allows me to replace \windows\biotouch.exe without difficulty

vijay555 for his VJBrisk that allows a "new biotouch.exe" to launch a shortcut to s2u2.exe

this means slide2unlock2 will remain locked, even if there are accidental presses/brushes(due to hardware design) while my elf is in my pocket.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Hi mangokun! Your post gave me another idea and I recooked my ROM!

I'll have to wait to get my phone fixed in order to try it:(

However,I don't know if it's a good idea, but...

is there anyone interested in doing some flashing\testing for me???:)

One with an Elfin and a Vista PC in order to see if the cooked ROM is Vista compatible too!?

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] .dredd.:
Hi kokotas!

Although I use WinXP but if you need assistance to try a new ROM I would do it for us (not very deep but as a common user)

How about testing a 16MB pagepool ROM? :D:rolleyes:... for Elfin of course
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
Call volume

I've noticed something, don't know if it's specific to this ROM...

The in-call volume does not seem to have any effect - it's always very loud, doesn't go quieter...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Find the reg key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN

You can change and try various values for the subkeys until you find the audio setup you like!

You have to change the following subkeys:

"EAC_GAIN_CARKIT"

"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"

"EAC_GAIN_HEADSET"

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
Thanks - does that effect the volume level, or is that some sort of multiplier that the volume slider affects?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
It effects the volume level.

It was very loud indeed!(In v1.1 and v1.3!Not in BlackVersion!)

It needs turning it down a little:)

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CraigHardy:
top bar

Hey kokotas, im usin your blackedition at the minute must say its very good rom!

just wondering if you or anyone else can shed some light on this matter, how would i go about hiding the open programs next to the start menu?

regards

craig
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
That is the WkTask, the taskmanager used in my ROM!

Go to its preferences and find your way through the options there!

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CraigHardy:
ah thanks for a fast reply kokotas!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
Wow, this is the first time I actually load a new ROM on my phone and that thing is super fast. I love it !

Two things though:

How come the graphics on the top left (next to the start) are always messed up? And is of different color (grey, as opposed to black). It's really bothering me for some reason.

And why is the scrolling (programs, settings) not smooth?

Aside from that I'm very very satisfied. Great work!

EDIT:

Okay I have figured out how to make it the same color, though there is still a horizontal line right above start
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Again...check WkTask's preferences!That line is the battery gauge.

As for the scrolling, it'll get smoother after setting up the phone and doing one or two Soft Resets!

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
Thanks. Set the Embedded key down to 80, and now the slider does alter the volume during a call. I think maybe at its default setting it was so high that even when decreased with the slider it was still loud!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
Thanks man!

Well I went to sleep and I woke up only to see the horizontal line disappear alone :D The scrolling for settings/system is super smooth, though the programs scrolling still lags a bit. Not a problem though as long as that horizontal line disappeared :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] y3ny3n:
i had tried the light rom 1.3 or the black edition. My problem is i can't see all the incoming call telephone no or the contact name. all i can c is just the blank notification. What cause this?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Hello!

I haven't got any problems with Caller ID!That's strange!:confused:

Let's try to solve this:)

I'm going to describe what I did after flashing:

Well, I used PIM Backup to restore all my contacts. I didn't create them one by one! (Also,I don't know if it matters but I have all my numbers in the format +306936123456. I always put infront my country code +30)

Under Settings/Connection I set up my connection & soft Reset.

Under Settings/Personal I set up the Sounds-Notifications & went to Phone to check the network,services(callid etc).

That's all I remember:cool:

Do a Hard Reset and check your settings again!

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] y3ny3n:
i did it the same thing before, is juz i thought is software crushed. But, my sister phone using the same rom and same software dun hav this problem.. i dunno wut is the problem tat cause this problem.. so sad....

by the way, all my phone no is using the same way to set. I try to sync by activesync or juz use pimbackup to backup restore after i hardreset. Even i reflashed it for twice oso same problem. But the other phone ( flashed to other 4 elf) no such problem. T.T
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Have you tried switching SIM cards with your sister?

Insert yours in her phone and see if the problem persists.

Do check the settings under

StartMenu\Settings\Personal\Phone\Services.

Can't think of anything else now.If I come up with any new idea I'll pm you.

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] y3ny3n:
tq, i will figure it out too... i think should be the registry problem... but anyone of u noe abt the registry for the incoming call notification??? thanks kokotas... i will try to figure it out too.. once i have the solution i will tell u guys too...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
I have noticed that Touchpal (I installed it) becomes very laggy after a couple of hours of use and is solved by a soft reset. Then again, I noticed others complaining about the same thing with the HTC keyboard on Shadows ROM.

Could it be the threaded SMS that is causing this? I never had this problem with Windows 6.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Lag when typing a SMS?

I think there is a way to find out if the threaded SMS are causing any lag when typing any messages. Here is the thread you should check out:

SMS Tweaker v1.0 to tweak SMS/MMS in WM6.1.

Use that tweaker and switch to normal mode to see if the lag is gone!

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
Yeah it seems to be threaded SMS that is causing the lag for some odd reason. I disabled threaded SMS through the registry and now its working fine.

Too bad as I really liked the idea of threaded SMS. Some of you might not notice the lag, but I send about 2000+ messages per month and I type extremely fast so therefore I really notice if the input can't keep up when I type, especially when it's touchpal.

To disable threaded SMS:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings:

Change SMSAvailable from 1 to 0
[Touch GSM ROM Development] _LunaTiC_:
To disable threaded SMS, do this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled

DWORD

value set to 1.

I tested that, and it works! The above solution made some trouble with my phone. Kind of disabled the SMS notifications or so...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
You know what? I really didn't notice it until you bought that up. Despite that I'm going to have to live with it like that as messaging is very important to me and I can't deal with it being laggy. This way, I will rely (sp?) on my little orange LED :)

What can cause the message notifaction to disappear anyway? Anyone?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] furrypotato:
THanks for the ROM - nice and fast and plenty of memory to run programs. I can run Opear 9.33beta now without low memory !

Couple of issues- minor one- The nice, big Clock seems to have disappeared from the Today screen...

Major One- the phone screen does not come back on from sleep when I press the power button. I have to soft reset to get it back :(

Any ideas ? I've gone through all the powe/backlight related options I can find.

dylan
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Hi Dylan! I guess you're talking about v1.3.

Try to do a hard reset & then reflash the ROM! Also check the keylocking options.

Go to Today items and enable BatteryStatus for the clock...

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ckpv5:
Backlight

""the phone screen does not come back on from sleep when I press the power button"" -

based on my experience with any ROM, using the WkTASK setting, the Brightness should be at level 4 maximum... more than that, the problem "the phone screen does not come back on from sleep" will occur.

Rgds
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
Hey Kokotas,

I have a quick question for you. Every once in a while, when I select my start menu, about 20 items drop down. I like it and it looks good. Then they somehow disappear alone.

When I try to add more in the start menu through the settings/menu, it tells me no more than 7 items could be selected.

How can I go about adding more as it sometimes happens alone?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] furrypotato:
Well I have now done a hard reset and it's working fine again. So I think I'll leave screen brightness alone !

Cheers Guys

Dylan
[Touch GSM ROM Development] .dredd.:
Hi

In the Settings on Personal tab you find Large Start Menu... uncheck the box and you'll get your fav orig start menu :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Well, I guess that's a bug of the start menu! Have you tried enabling\disabling the EnlargeStartMenu? Till now, I have only noticed that if you have no items at all in the start menu, then it doesn't respond to finger taps! So there is a minimum of items=2.

Try adding some shortcuts manually under "\windows\start menu\" with an explorer like TotalCommander or Resco Explorer or GSFinder.

See if there you could add more than 7...

Good to hear that it's working fine again, but you should set the correct brightness settings in WkTask:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
So when I disabled "Enabled large start menu" it seems to work :) Hopefully it stays that way. I love this ROM, it's super fast. One last question though, my programs still lags when scrolling up/down after many soft resets. On the other hand, my settings/system scroll very smoothly

You think a hard reset would solve this issue?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] .dredd.:
My experience is that the programs folder is almost always laggy in all MS devices when you install some extra progs. I used Universal and that was same. Maybe the prog icons load slow.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] whoaaitsdavey:
Camera!

One quick question...I'm fairly new to flashing ROM's and have flashed quite a few to my Elf but for some reason with this one I am not able to get the camera to work and I even installed the HTC Album....any suggestions???? Would be much appreciated!

~Dave
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Hi Dave!

Have you try to hard reset and then check if the camera is working?

Some hints:

1.Under StartMenu\Settings\Personal\Buttons set the button to point to CamShoot(NOT Camera) in order to have the side button for camera.

2.Under StartMenu\Programs you should find a Camera.lnk!

Isn't that working?

3.The HTC Album has nothing to do with the camera.

Unless you want to assing the album-key(bottom left on sceen when camera is launched) of the camera to HTCAlbum instead of pimg.exe.

You could try something in the registry. I haven't done that, but I think it should work!

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCAMERA

"1"="pimg.exe -camerakey"

Change pimg.exe => HTCAlbum.exe and when you press that key you'll have HTCAlbum opening instead of the default pimg.exe

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vector-SS:
My Rogers ROM was actually smooth. Anyway, I will remove some icons I don't use and see what happens. If that does not work I will try a hard reset. Messing around with my phone is becoming an addiction :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] alkisk:
I've been using the v1.3 rom for a few days, and its proved very fast, stable and functional. (would like to use black rom but i have vista on the pc...)

But, has anybody else noticed that not only you cannot change the volume on the headset using the sliders as noted before, but also you cannot change the ringer volume, which is probably too low??? any solution for that????
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Hi alkisk!

Check post#14.

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] alkisk:
thanks for the fast reply!

that would require a reboot every time that you would want to change a volume though, right??

and which value is which???

carkit for the bluetooth???

embedded for the volume during a call???

headset for the for a headset???

and which one is for the ringer????

greetings from Thessaloniki!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
No, you got it wrong!

It requires a reboot after changing the registry,

but when you've set the right_for_you audio max level,

then you don't have to reboot each time you want to change something!

Use the volume_sliders by tapping the volume icon of the top bar!

Don't be afraid to play with those (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN) reg_entries!

You can't harm your phone, but if you want to feel more safe, make a RegistryBackup!If you change those you'll see that the ringer level is also changed!

What a beautiful city!!! I'd really like to live there sometime in the near future!:) Beautiful women, sea, great food and stressless way of life!;)

Best Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
Flashed the light rom... am very pleased with it! Thanks u for the effort :cool:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] alkisk:
been playing around with the registry keys for the sound, and managed to have nice volumes with the following exception:

When I hear music through a headset attached to the mobile and he phone rings the ring volume (in the headset) is extremely loud! if I lower the eac_gain_headset value then the music is tto low, and also the ringer volume of the device goes down!

Also, the volume setting slider slider can adjust the volume on the headset, but not the ringer volume of the device as it should.

Does anyone have any definite idea what each key does, and what is the difference of the eac keys and the codec keys, and also the uplink volumes????

(maybe i'm getting off topic and should ask in another section of the forum - sorry for that..)

Test ROM on Elf

Hi Kokotas

It's been awhile since your last update. Hv flashed the 4MB PP test ROM on my Elf, it's working fine at the moment but the PP still shows as 8MB not 4MB. Is it because I flashed it on Elf?

Memory After Flashing:

Free Storage Memory - 59.72MB

Free Program Memory - 24.56MB

I maybe wrong, what I notice is whenever the Net CF 3.5 is in the ROM, the PP cannot be change to 4MB but any WM6.1 with NetCF 2.0, the PP can be change to 4MB or 6MB.

As usual, your ROM is always fast.

Rgds
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
That's strange!

In my Elfin I get:

For 4MB_PP - > Total (Prog) memory : 115.68 MB

For 18MB_PP - > Total (Prog) memory : 101.68 MB

Even by doing the math: {4 + (115.68-101.68) = 18} you see that it is correct!

Anyway, thank you very much for testing ckpv5!:)

Did you have the chance to test Sync with VistaPC?

If you see anything else, please feedback!

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] .dredd.:
Hello my friend back!!!

Good to see you are here again!

The 18MB PP version is already waiting on my D drive but now I am testing the pdamobiz test2 diamond version... which is very impressive but has a few bug... wifi does not work, some programs are not willing to be installed...

Sooner or later I flash your 18MB PP version... have you killed the biotouch.exe error message?

With best regards

Dredd

Ps. I just realised that you referred to your Elfin... does it mean that you got it back?... Good news!

What does UC2.0 capable stands for?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
Hey Dredd! Yeah!I got back my touch:D

But I'm having exams at the university and I don't have much free time for now!

Well, I have a 0byte Biotouch.exe inside the ROM which does nothing

plus I have set

HKLM>Software>OEM>TFLOSettings

EnableCube => 0

I didn't remove it, because in this way you can use any "Application.exe" renamed to "Biotouch.exe" or you can use vjbrisk(like here) which is cooked in the ROM.

UC2.0=User Customization 2.0

Basically, it's a way of installing cabs, entering RegEntries, moving/deleting files in AUTO mode using your SD card! But if you don't want to follow that way you just let the phone boot and reset without doing nothing!

Regards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ckpv5:
Test ROM on Elf

Hi Kokotas

Think that because I flashed on Elf and that is why the PP shows as 8MB.

But is not a big deal to me as I always prefer 8MB. In fact in this ROM, just completed all the usual softwares installation, still hv around 22-23MB free program memory.

And yes, Sync with Vista PC is still a problem for this test ROM. Only the first time it is ok. After disconnected, it can't be re-connected. Still not a big deal to me.. my desktop is still XP.

Rgds
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jackolus:
I'm using black edition - it look fantastic ! but I have encounter some problems like:

- it's nearly impossible to turn device ON with sim inside !! it stuck at the PIN menu - touchscreen is dead...

after some ( about 5 ) replies finally it runs normally

- BatteryStatus is enormously p***** off with message: thank you for using, its shareware and you can use it as it is...

- it has huuuge memory leakage ( i can not reboot, becouse of turning on problems )

any ideas ?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
WoW!:eek:

If you are talking about the black edition from 1st post...I don't know what went wrong in your case, but I didn't face any of the above problems!

Only advice is to do a HardReset and reflash without any cards inserted!

If you are talking about the test versions, thanks for the feedback. I'm still testing some stuff myself and had a kind of a freeze when I used my old 1GB microSD! Till now no problems with BatteryStatus or memory leak!

Regards!

*ps: Did a minor hex editing in ROMs and uploaded again in order to test if an ELF "sees" the 4MB Pagepool!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jackolus:
memory leakage isn't so important - running on 16-17mb is enough...

it's quite disapointing with this turning on feature, becouse it really is the best rom i've ever use so far ! of course i'm using black edition from the first post, downloaded about 2weeks ago.

I just realise that i'm erase SIP change and startmenu from autostart (ooops) - now it's back and we'll see is it change anything ;)

oh... and just one thing

in batterystatus proc is from 121 to 286mhz but when i'm opening a windows folder it takes a looong seconds when it's done - maybe it sounds ridicilous but comparing to other roms it's seriously slow :(
