That's called HTC X-Button.

CRC, good stuff man. I love this ROM. Very stable and fast. Good battery life, too.

One issue is that if Voice Commander's left open after using the bluetooth headset to make a call, all sound is then routed to the headset. Not a big deal if I'm home, I can just close VC and keep going. But if I'm on the road, I can't close the program until I've looked at the screen, defeating the main point of a handsfree program.

Ringtones

Very good and stable ROM. Really excellent work.

Only one thing: after awakening from Standby mode there are no more sounds played, neither ringtones or on the music player (both mp3).

Calls can only be only recognized by vibration alarm.

All sounds were switched on and loud.

It worked also again after switching off the Hermes and putting out the battery a few moments but only until the Hermes got in stand by mode next time. After that no sounds anymore :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chasmanian:
thvoss, when you lose sound, is Voice Command running?

No it wasn´t, I guess

Do a hard reset, then DO NOT INSTALL ANY THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS. None. Zip. Nada. See if you still get the problem.

99% of all issues like this are caused by incompatibilities with 3rd party applications. When you find your issue doesn't happen if you don't install other apps, start installing one at a time until you see the problem.

Then start looking for newer versions of the app causing the issue.

only problem i have found is with SMS.

occasionally SMS wont come through until the messaging application is opened?

then they will flood in.

so i had this morning (i went into messaging at 10:30 am)

1) 8:05am

2) 8:40am

3) 9:30am

4) 10:28am

all come in after opening.

This sounds more like a radio rom problem rather than the OS rom. Been using CRCs 11 for quite a while now and don't experience this problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Same here or may be a network congestion :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Ah! I found one problem which may be related to this ROM... my Video Call button doesn't work. I'm referring to the physical Video Call button (located near the D-Pad).

In the official ROMs, pushing this button will launch the Phone application or trigger a Video Call. Using CRC's 11, nothing happens when I push that button. Anyone else have the same problem?

The "little green phone button" launches my phone application.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
It took me a while to think about this one... Check your time zone settings... I'm thinking that the phone is syncing it's time to the phone network - which is why it keeps resetting. If you have the wrong timezone set, this will mean that the time is set to the wrong timezone - ie it's probably Sydneys time :)

This I'm not too sure about - I try not to use overrides as it takes up extra processing. Change the country to US and see if that gives you the 4 settings back...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] canman:
Hi CRC,

Great work on this Rom, it really is the best I've found so far, it's all that you'd hoped for when buying a device only to find the OS is slow and hard to use.

Any ideas about my Bluetooth headaches I posted earlier. It's the only thing that doesn't work for me, everything else is awesome.

I've been running your ROM for a good 2-3 weeks now but I'm going to have to find a solution as the Bluetooth dialup networking thing is a requirement for me pretty regularly as I have to work in remote places and need to use it on my laptop to get web access.

Any help is much appreciated......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I haven't been able to find any bluetooth issues at all. When I pair my phone with my laptop via BT, it installs the bluetooth modem and everything as it should... As I recommend with everything, do a hard reset, don't install any 3rd party apps and see if things work properly. If not, then let me know.

I guess the only other thing I can say is that when you connect, close ALL other applications - maybe it's a memory thing? Look further back in this thread and apply the memory tweak - the default of 9Mb is more realistic of a device with 128Mb of RAM - not 64mb like the Hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Sorry mate didn't happen to me, it goes to the dial pad if I press that button.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
I'm not referring to the 'little green phone' button. I'm referring to the 'Phone with the Eye' button which is on top of the 'little green phone'.

I know the button itself is working, because when I press it, the screen backlight comes on (if the backlight has turned itself off during idle). But the phone application doesn't launch as it should. Oh well, I never use it anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Hmmm - It always comes up with the dialler for me.

What other 3rd party apps do you have installed?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Hi CRC. Okay I'll try it with a hard-reset then. I recently uninstalled CVC and installed MSVC, maybe that has something to do with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] canman:
Thanks for the reply. It was the first thing I tried after I installed the new ROM and still haven't installed any other software, it's perfect as it is for me.

I'll have a look for the memory tweak you speak of, but I don't think it's related to that.

I get the bluetooth modem installed OK and everything looks as it should but when I come to try and make a connection through it, it just says connection failed even though the phone itself can connect to the internet OK so clearly there's no issue with the phone getting connected.

I'll try the memory tweak as I say, but if you could look into it if you get any time to yourself at all that would be appreciated as I said, using Schaps or some other roms, no issues, but I really don't like their roms relative to yours so I'm sticking with it as I'm sure I'll get it to work eventually.

Also just for reference I've tried it on a few different PC's and get the same result so the common issue is the phone as far as I see it.......

Thanks again for a great ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
dude you are a magician:p you have done something to this rom that it acts very different from all other stock or cooked roms.

i had to reflash another rom the other night (so i couldn't do what you'd suggested). Now am flashing your rom once again and will report how it goes.

however, i'd like to make some general remarks:

1) flashing so many tens of different roms (on both Hermes & Kaiser) i can now confirm (that at least in my personal experience) CRC's 11.0 has indeed the FASTEST bootup. I'm not sure what is the cause of this unusually and extremely speedy bootup. it seems as if on the bootup process the rom does not load any program (!) for it comes up suspiciously FAST :D (did i say you're a magician?)

2) this is THE ONLY rom that on the First bootup (after "Tap the Screen" message) the user is NOT asked to go through the normal Windows Mobile process of Tap_n_hold_cut_past , date_time_setup, password_setup, email_setup) - some roms do not ask the latter but the former 3 are intrinsic in all WM5/6/6.1 .

is it only me? or you guys also noticed this?

3) whenever the device boots up, right after the animated startup (and just before the green WM 6.1 page) there comes a completely blank WHITE page for about 4 seconds. does any of you guys get that white screen on bootup?

CRS , there's line in your signature which reads: "Help me get another Hermes for faster development - Donate via PayPal"

I pondered upon this line for a long time to decode it :D think i'm gradually beginning to get it :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Thanks. I'm glad you like it. Will be good to know what you see.

I haven't actually measured the boot up times, but it's usually a mix of XIP and SYS that makes things quick. This seems to be the quickest combination I have found.

This is by design. What you will need to do however is set the timezone and regional settings manually - or if you look at using SDConfig (aka UC) you can set this via XML on the first boot after flashing. Otherwise your default timezone will be GMT+10 Sydney and Regional Settings will be Australia.

This is also by design. There's no point putting up any image there after the animation because I'm sure you want to get the phone working ASAP and not go "ohhh a picture".

Yeah - basically I want to get another Hermes device that I can experiment with while I leave my current one in a usable state 24/7. This will mean I can do more development as I can do an hour here, 20 minutes there instead of either having to do everything until it works, or revert my phone back to how it was (+ apps + syncing + contacts on 2 machines etc etc).

If I had a development Hermes hanging around, it wouldn't matter what state it was in during development :) While I don't want to take money as an income, I am putting all donations towards purchasing a second Hermes. At the moment, donations are at $152.06 AUD. Hermes devices seem to go on eBay for about $350-400AUD.

Multiple APN Contexts

Found the solution I was looking for!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2382465&postcount=37

Might be a task for the connection setup to extend the configs to the Registry keys.

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

CRC great ROM. Maybe you can find a solution for this. I am trying to conect to multiple APNs cause I need different ones for pushmail and internet. It is influenced in the registry by the entries in:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\Ril]

Contexts

NetworkContexts

NetworkContexts has higher priority than Contexts. I set both to 3 and it works great for 1 minute. But after that NetworkContexts is automatically set to 1 again and I can only connect to one APN again. Even deletion of NetworkContexts does not help. The entry will be restored after one minute again.

Googled and searched this forum but noone knows exactly if it is pushed by network, comes from the SIM or if it is hard cooked into the ROM. Duttys ROM for Kaiser supports multiple connect with my SIM Card and my network. So I assume it is cooked into the ROM.

Maybe you are able to solve this?!? Would be so great!

Question about the Blgloss theme

I was playing around with the themes, seeing which one is best, didn't like the others.

Went back to Blgloss now the image on the today screen has gone, and i cant seem to get it back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
we are very lucky to have the chef present and supportive in his thread.

i will try to post my observations as i go ahead using the rom.

For now, let's just concentrate on the "Time Changing" issue.

I finally noticed what happens. No matter what region (country) you choose in Regional Settings, or which Time Zone you set in Clock & Alarms Settings, if you remove the battery of the phone (for the first time after flashing the rom) and put it back , the time zone changes to Australia (the region remains the same - in my case UK).

this is like removing the CMOS battery of a PC.

i just removed the batter again and put it back immediately and the time change didn't happen. Now i'm trying to keep the battery out for a little longer (say 10 minutes) to see what happens.

EDIT: ok , i removed the bat for 10 min. The "region" and the "time zone" remained untact but the time shows "00:01" and the date is 01/Sep/2007

I've had that issue last night whilst trying to figure out my Bluetooth issue also....... it seemed to be connected and I was trying to pair again when it seemed to dissapear, when I looked it said bluetooth was now off. I restarted and it seemed OK.

I can't even get mine to pair correctly so can't get the DUN connection going, but I think there was a known issue with some of the Bluetooth stacks dropping out unexpectedly on really early builds of WM5 but haven't heard anything like that for ages.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] canman:
Sorry to be a pain in the ar$e CRC, but it seems like it's definately something to do with your ROM.

This morning I flashed my device back to the factory Imate ROM and it worked as before, then flashed to Schaps 4.31 and still working, then flashed to PDA Corners latest and that also worked.

Then flashed back to your 11.0 latest and problem came back. I can see the device when I do a discovery. Then when I try to pair it I put the pin number into the PC and my device sees something trying to pair with it, prompts me for a pin, I put it in and it says "Your device did not connect with (name of PC). The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect.

If I click OK it prompts me for the passcode again, put it in and this time I get no error, but get a box with the name of the PC at the top and the "select services to use from this device" below that. This is where it usually shows the services available, but in this case it's blank.

I can click save and it seems to have half paired as on the PC is says it's paired, but if I refresh it now says it's not.

If I use the device to pair to the PC rather than the other way around it seems to allow me to pair with no errors, but then it can't complete the dialup connection, keeps saying the username and password are wrong, but my ISP doesn't require one and using the same setup but with other ROMs it works perfectly so I know the dialup settings are right.

I don't know enough to know if you guys use seperate Bluetooth stacks or anything for different builds but as I said the others work sweet as, but your ROM is the only one I like the rest of, so I'm stuck in the middle :(

PS I read your comments about wanting to save for a spare device......how about if you can help me solve this I donate say $30NZD to your fund ? Fair ?

Also just for reference I've tried getting the latest build of software and drivers for my laptop and PC in the hope it was something like that, but no change.

Changes are:

Release 12.0 (04 Jul 2008):

* Repack Office 2007 to hopefully fix some issues.

* Reduce X-Button auto-close threshold to 2Mb free RAM (Thanks hardcore)

* Revert to older Bluetooth stack for testing.

The power meter doesnt work well. Tried on a tytn and vodafone something. Right after u full charge ur battery and unplug the cord, u can see the battery dropping from 100% to 95% in less than 10 seconds :eek:Its not faulty batterie, its something to do with the rom. Tested other ROM and that didn't happen. Take a look at that. btw, i really enjoy this rom :cool:

That's what the 1% battery dll does, read the other forums, if you don't want that go back to the old one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Correct. The old battery.dll would round to the nearest 10% - 95 to 100% would show as 100%, 85 to 94% would show as 90%....

All we have done has stopped the rounding. This is how it works. This is how the hardware reports battery voltage. This is what we have to live with.

My battery power went up over night! from like 86% yesterday night, this morning it showed 91%..I have to say, respect to CRCs' ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I just check my fresh battery (one-year old AT&@T 8525). The display 100% when connected and 95% when disconnected. Using the old battery .dll, it would have shown a rounded-up value 100% when disconnected. My next step is to research battery voltage values to determine what is normal design max and normal design min values, and what kind of battery degredation should be expected with age. The 1% battery .dll algorithm should be based on this type of information.

I'm going to also check some 3rd party programs that report and plot actual battery voltage. This will provide me with information on the typical bahavior of my battery. I used to own such a program, but haven't used it in a while.

It would also be interesting to know what is inside the 1% battery .dll.

I bought a program called Battery Meter EV. Low cost $4.95US. Fully charged (connected) battery status is 4.130Vand 106ma. I plan to track battery performance, both connected and unconnected, over the next few days.

bug/problem with WMPlayer, plays only one song in standby mode

Not sure if this is solely a Windows Media Player Mobile issue..

but I loaded two albums on my SD card, added them to the library, play one of them, put the device in standby, after the song finishes you have to wake it up and it plays the next one..anyone have the same problem?

makes it useless as an mp3-player..of course Mortplayer would do it fine, but so could WMplayer :/

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emugpp:
yea, I've tried it yesterday..what made me delete it again was that it for some reason sorted the songs alphabetically, media-player on the other hand sorted them by their 'turn'..and shows the cover art ;)

the songs are nicely formated by the way, name - album - trackNr. - titles

The attached picture provides some baseline battery information from my device. A correct 1% battery.dll algorithm should show my battery disconnected starting point as 98% charged based on a design fully charge voltage of 4.2v.

BTW, this is a short-term test to get a feeling for the capabiity of the battery. I plan to do a longer term discharge test.

I believe that all the battery charge status programs use battery.dll for their information. The only was to check the algorithm will be to get inside or find out by searching the basis for the calculations. That's my next step.

Sorry to report, no change mate......... same issue.

I've found an order in which I can get the thing paired up fairly consistently now, but still no go with the dialup stuff.

I've got a third PC which I've managed to get things working OK on there with some fiddling though but that's got a custom IVT Bluetooth stack on it so maybe it's some sort of incompatibility issue which is why others aren't seeing the same issue, or maybe they're just not using the DUN side of things with their phones ?

Not sure, but either way as mentioned, other ROMS seems to work well.......... Not sure why yours is different, I'm not clever enough to be able to tell, I leave the clever stuff to clever people like you mate :)
