Bugs I've found in v23

1. Any field that requires a password (logging onto g-mail, xda, etc...) you select the field, type in a password and push "ok" then it shows up clear again.

2. Still having problems with "install opera" - I select it and it just takes me back to the extra's menu without installing.

3. Same issue with the "default browser" - I select they option "make opera default browser" and it sends me back to the extra's menu without changing my default.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
My phone adds the "+" in front of the number as well, but it doesn't mean that your calls are international calls. My rates have stayed consistent with what they've always been--even if I make a call with the "+" in front. It's just one of the formats that the phone saves numbers under. You can always edit the number as well.
[HTC Excalibur] tennisshoeninja:
i love this rom...just having trouble editing my programs... i do everything as usually like on v19...but for some reason it just wont save .. it says saved ..but when i reboot it doesn't work :(
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
:) new v21 rom update coming

whats changed

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

1) added schemes

2) removed all Slidingplanel themes apart from three

3) fixded schemes pictures this mean when you select a scheme the picture will show for that scheme
[HTC Excalibur] cyndrax:
So I just noticed an odd problem with my phone and thought I would bring it to your attention Ricky. Somehow, my MMS account disappeared from the sliding panel thing on the homescreen. My account is still there, as I can access it from Messaging, but I don't have direct access to it from the homescreen any more.

Don't know if anyone else has seen this, but thought I would throw it out there.

Thanks for all the hard work on this ROM everyone!

As a note, the directions for "Editing My 5" are incorrect. The .lnk files are located in \Windows now.

Is there a way to display the actual contact in the Today Screen rather than just "Contact 1"? Or do I just need to reboot?

MYFaves abnormality

I updated the MyFave numbers and everything seemed to be entered correctly, however, the number dialed by contact 1 is incorrect. What appears on the edit screen is 555-555-1234 (an example of course), but when I dial the number via the MyFaves sliding panel, it dials 55-555-1234. I re-edited the number and it looks correct, but still dials incorrectly. All the other contacts are fine when dialed. Anyone else having this problem?

By the way, I'm using version 20a.
[HTC Excalibur] Jpham792:
Hey guys, I have been a longtime user of the Herald, and consider myself pretty familiar with it, but I just recently got a new dash and have a few questions. Search yielded no answers so I am requesting some help. I successfully flashed Ricky's newest rom (20a) and it works great, the only thing I want to do is edit some of the programs in the 'my programs' tab, as currently it is filled with 19 entries, 10 of them being Edit Word Document.

Also I live and die on Opera Mini, and Ricky stated that this was included in his newest rom, however I do not see it. I do see the opera file in the 'my extras' zip though. Do I just drop this folder in the /windows section of my phone? Also one last question...Anybody know of a good black background/theme? I just want to rid myself of the stock green theme =].
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
:oopera install is found it \Start Menu\My Tools\Extraz it called install opera
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
go to number six in myfaves there is a program there that will edit contacts for you
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
I saw that, but on my phone it doesn't work. When you do Edit, you see a list of the contacts but there are no fields or anything. It's strange.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
i no but if you press a button youll see a field there
[HTC Excalibur] tennisshoeninja:
i know its a little odd but just click edit change phone... and start typing the numbers even tho you cant see em they're there....after you finish typing the number... click the middle button twice... and it will appear... :D

Citrix Client & Remote Desktop

Any of you know if citrix client or Remote desktop/admin can be installed on T-mobile dash?

I d/l and tried several clients, but they wont install for the Dash, only work with ppc or blackberry.

Thanks for your helps :)

My5 issue

I just looked at the My5_contact1 file and everything is correct. I tried changing the number to 555-555-1234 to see if this made any difference, and it did. This number worked correctly. After more testing, it appears that any number with a "0" as the 3rd number in the area code will be dialed incorrectly.

for example: 120-555-1234 will look like this when dialed 12-555-1234

Could someone please test this and see if they get the same results?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] atsi17:
One of my number is 240-xxx-xxxx works correctly. No problem!

I am still on V.18 :)

help please

yesterday i was installing the new rom but i canceled it because i had low battery life and it was late. today i try to to install it again, but this time i dont get the white screen. on the dos prompt it says invalid signature or something like that... any help guys?
[HTC Excalibur] Farlaugh:
I reflashed and I am working.

Thanks!!!

Now, I want to remove some sliders. I see the chome prgram and I foiund my apps but I do not need 19 of them. How do I delete a page? Is there a chome tutorial?

EDIT:

Now that I have changed a couple things, CHome settings will not open? All I did was disable apps and photos and change the theme? Any ideas there?
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
Yeah, I had no problem when using version 18 either. Unfortunately, version 20a is where I'm seeing the problem.
[HTC Excalibur] djquick:
Funny, I just did it and I installed v20 yesterday and it worked beautifully. All I did was on the homescreen, went down to myfaves, went to option 6 to change settings, pushed edit on the right soft key, went to call 1, went to change name, changed it then pushed the middle button, went to change number, changed the number then pushed the middle button, and so on with 2,3,4,5. See, it was confusing at first because it didn't show a box to change it and it's not going to, but when you push the center button after you make your changes, it does it.
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
This works for me too. Everything displays correctly and the My5_contact1 file is correct when viewed with Notepad on my computer. However, when I go to the panel and try to make a call (just press the center button on the d-pad), it does not include the "0" in the area code. This only occurs if the "0" is the last digit of the area code. Other area codes (not ending with "0") will dial correctly.

for example: 310-555-1234 will dial 31-555-1234, but 301-555-1234 will dial as 301-555-1234.

I'm not sure if it's a problem with CHome or Windows. However, when actually using the "Contacts" button (normal windows operation to make a call) to find and dial the number, there is no issue. This leads me to believe that perhaps there may some issue with the CHome program. Of course, this is only speculation on my part. I'm hoping someone who knows more than I do (which is probably everyone on this board) can confirm and possibly correct the issue.
[HTC Excalibur] vivid22:
Yea, as MrPhoni and me just said:

- Constant option for a German keymap - maybe u can just make it an option in the Regional Settings? That u add German as a new language, but still keep the English (doesnt matter for us) and just change the keymap that the German is still activated when i restart the phone? :)
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
is there a cab i can install to make opera my default browser, like if i click a link in my e mail that it will open in opera and not IE.

i think it has been discussed before so i do appologize in advance, im still on version 14 and i love it lol.

or maybe something to change in the registry?
[HTC Excalibur] MrPhoni:

Help! Upgraded - now in trouble

OK - I upgraded from WM6.0 to 6.1 earlier in the day (found an update dated 080314). Everything worked wonderfully .. in fact I was astounded how smoothly such a major update worked. I have the HC S620 (tmobile Dash)

Then I stumbled on this forum (I must've book marked) and realized that the update I installed was updated again. SO I downloaded and installed the 080408 update. Now I've got problems

First - I cannot seem to find any mention of the version number (V22 ?) on the phone. Not in "About" or anywhere else. I am merely going by the installer filename which is by date.

Second - and this is the problem that has me yelling MAYDAY! and Help! The keyboard now works incorrectly. The numberic keypad acts like a telephone keypad, so for example the "8" key toggles between t-u-v-8 ... but this is also the C key on my keyboard. ANd I NEED it !!!! in other words - my qwerty keyboard no longer is qwerty. SO now I cannot type properly and thus cannot continue using my phone !!! (I cannot even set up my email settings since it requires typing)

I've tried just about every setting there is without luck! What do I do??? I've also searched this forum and cannot find any mention of this

Help!

Thanks

Question.. I have ricky's rom and i'm using the threaded sms feature. With each contact you can goto them and view all the messages they have sent you, bout you can only see 12 until you have to press "older". Anyway to change that to a higher number?

Get my drift?!

Also..can someone hook me up with a link to the program that lets you edit the rom and delete what you dont want on it?

problems with update HELP !!

Hi - I know how much effort went into porting this to the HTC and I am gratreful it is available for free and being supported by some senior qualified people.

I'm a pretty smart guy myself - but I must say - I am rather lost here AND my phone has been rendered useless by the update (note that I upgraded to an earlier version of 6.1 earlier and it went without a hitch - I merely logged on here to get the latest - and this is when my problems started)

1. My FUNDAMENTAL problem is that after this update my keyboard is messed up. The numbers keys act like a phone keypad instead of querty - so I cannot type!! Not even to set up my email addresses (let alone type in other network related info). That;s that.

I appreciate the link you posted - but frankly I am suspicious of trying the fix. This problem is so fundamental that I cannot believe these forums are not flooded with emergency complaints. So my guess is that something else is wrong.

2. Trying to wade through the information in the thread is daunting. I of course limit reading the documentation to my HTC ... but even then there are references to programs and icons that simply don't exist on my system: references to myFavs, and Chome etc...

3. Something as simple as finding out the version number I already have installed ... there seems to be no place to do this nor any simple little instruction. Like i said, I am pretty experienced at these things but I feel like a newbie here, rather unwelcome.

I have now spent about 12 straight hours trying to get the phone working again (with the newest version) - mainly the problem is the keyboard (and wading through the threads here)

My original reason for upgrading was because on the initial build of 6.1 I had, I could not get bluetooth working with music and my joggr scrolling was not working. At this point I am happy to revert back and live without those features. I would of course love to have the latest on my system

Can ANYONE here shed some light on my issues? Obviously they are unique for me but I would appreciate some insights.

THANKS !!!
[HTC Excalibur] cornell2:
Outerdepth: I forgot to mention - your suggested fix worked. Thanks. You can see from my other reply that I still have other issues.

I am replying again mainly so I can put some keywords in this message so others can later search for the solution.

For the HTC S630 aka Excalibur aka T-Mobile Dash

http://xdaforums.com/atta...8&d=1208195677

It will fix the keyboard so that you can finally type. It will make the keyboard an american/english qwerty layout - instead of the phone-pad T9 style layout.

Bluetooth Music / Audio output?

In Windows Mobile 6.0 for the HTC S620 (Excalibur) - bluetooth devices only worked for phone calls and voice commands. I had to use a third party utility called BTAudio to turn on the capability to listen to music through my bluetooth headset.

One of the anticipated upgraded features in 6.1 was supposed to be a 'native' device driver for bluetooth music/audio output. I have not seen this, and still must use this third-party utility (which as extra steps).

Is this capability available in 6.1 (Kavana ROM)? And if so how do I turn it on or enable it.

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] cornell2:
Thanks it worked for the american layout.

Hi there

I have used seach but was unsuccessful in finding the answer.

I have installed v23 but when i run Mini Opera the font is script and very difficult to read, is there a way of changing the font opera uses?

Also where are the png files stored that chome uses for items within the home menu windows/xxx.png ? I have looked in the windows folder but cannot see the png files

Thanks in advance

[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
I had a similar problem with the MyFaves on the homescreen. Someone mentioned that they added the 1 before the area code and had no problem. This worked for me also.

So instead of putting 2225554444 for the phone number when changing the numbers in MyFaves, type 12225554444. I hope this works for you.

CeleTask ++ other 6.1 questions

I have similar questions. (I have HTC S620 ... the 080408 release)

1) THANKS (too) for the ROM ... I am ecstatic to finally have a useful smartphone!

2) I see lots of references to V22, 23 or whatever - WHERE on earth do I find out which version i have? I tried "about" and "system" - nothing. The only thing I can go by is the filename of the exe I installed ... 080408 in it.

4) CeleTask + Joggr: I too have the same issue - codes don't seem to work (see the other threads) ... am I doing something wrong? Any link to a wiki or thread that clarifies?

5) CeleTask + Joggr: For the first day or so, double tapping the lower joggr did not bring up CeleTask (as it is supposed to, by default). Today, all of a sudden it works. I don't want to 'look a gift horse in the eye' but I'd be interested in understanding what is going on for future reference

6) Celetask - every time I power on my phone - CeleTask comes up. (I checked, it's not in the startup folder). How can I stop this - it's a little annoying but not major.

7) Celetask+ Remapping some buttons on my HTC. My "tspaces" button (reddish-pink) now brings up CeleTask. This is fine - but it would be nice to be able to remap it to the web browser (since celetask invokes from Joggr)

8) "ringer" Volume very low. I have a mp3 "ringtone" set as my ringer - set to LOUD. and it was indeed loud when running WM 6.0 ... but now I've missed 4 calls because it is so low in volume, Any insights?

I am hoping someone can chime in here with a few answers (or references to pages/threads) since I think others might have similar questions.

Overall I must again say THANKS for this build - it is fantastic and I am so happy to have this update.

[HTC Excalibur] xtreamdriver:
Let me start of by saying Rick and Kavana definitely deserve alot of credit for everything!!!

I wouldnt consider myself a noob with any of this. I've hack my dash 10 times before, flashed and reflashed multiple times without any errors. I've downloaded tons of crap for it and what not.

Today i reflashed with Ricks v21 of Kavana 6.1 rom. Everything works great except for a few minor things i guess. The mapping which everyone knows about, i've replaced the folder multiple times and rebooted and still get the british pound and my @ simble is the & sign.

Then the only other problem that's really pissing me off cause i can't seem to figure it out nor can i find anything related to my problem on these forums and howardforums aswell.

Here is an example of what the problem is as simple as i can explain it.

Say i go into START > MY TOOLS > EXTRAS > (there are about 8 programs here) and i can pick which ever one say CHOME SLIM. Here is CHOME SLIM i have 4 options

1)Chome Slim Original Clock

2)LCD Clock by Kavana

3)"" by Javoz

4)"" by RickWyatt

I cannot chose between which i would like. The little circle is choosen for the original clock and i cannot cyhper between the other options. This is for everything app in the extras folder. What's up with this? I use the directional button (left, right, up, down, and there is a center button) nothing responds. I use the joggr and it just scrolls like un, down does but it just scrolls the page it doesnt scroll between the options. I'm freaking out with this little BS problem. Someone please point me into the right direction. Thanks a bunch

trouble with "How to Set the order of Chome"

i can't find the menu that the "setting up the phone" is referring to. i installed version 23

How to Set the order of Chome

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

1) go to setting panel

2) click right untill you see (10)CHomeSettings

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

3) to move the plugins click options click move up or down and you can enable or disable the plugins

4) once you have got it how you like it click options then click exit it will then ask you do you what to save your

settings press yes

5) reload your home screen

Where do i find setting panel - is it the normal setting that we are used to? or is there a different setting panel... i've been through the normal setting billions of times and can't find it. :confused:

basically... can someone tell me in more detail how i can find the place (rom version 23) where i can change the order and remove some of them in the home screen.

awaiting reply!

I'm having the same issue, have searched and searched and not found a resolution. :-\

EDIT: I figured out the problem, I have the full internet, and the auto configurator built into the rom sets it to wap.voicestream.com instead of internet2.voicestream.com

Changed that and voila it works great now, thanks again for this both to Rick and Kavana!

I don't understand what you're talking about. Can you please send a screen shot... that would help a lot.

In the home screen where you see the time go down the slide panel until the end, the last panel is setting , move to the left and you will see (CHome Setting) , press center bottom and continue in the step 3 in your guide.
[HTC Excalibur] karimhemani:
thank you! so if i accidently disabled the setting chome, reloaded my home screen, is there a way to go back and enable it? i did a stupid thing. :mad:

problem with italian keymap

hi there! :)

i've installed v23 with keymap switch rom.. beautiful! ;)

at cold boot i've selected italian keymap but nothing happend...

what can i do? :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] NOXER:
Anybody successfully running Chome Weather (NRG weather) on v23? I installed it, but when I went to panel to start the options and font was extremely small and style was unreadable. So I started scrolling and selecting everything to see what I was changing but had no clue on how to change it ex. On or Off (what would I press or type?!? it just gave me ok option even if I put anything in text). I thought font had something to do with Clock Font script option on chrome settings so I switched to default but that didn't reverse it.

If anybody can shed some light on this app that would be great.

Edit: NVM found answer on why my font was messed up and followed shaileshashar fix
