Anyone else having a problem running the latest version of Microsoft Live Search on this ROM? I tried installed .NET CF 2.0, still didn't help. Some kind of error related to audio.wav files. The error says "can't find an Entry Point 'waveInOpen' in a PInvoke DLL 'coredll.dll'.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Hmm what's the latest version I thought the one that came with this ROM is the latest?

issues...

Hello everyone!

After trying out the development release 10.4 of this ROM, i recently flashed the new CRC 11.0 release. I have to admit, that I am not that experienced with the HERMES yet, but nevertheless I want to post some of the issues I have come across….

FLASHING

When trying to flash, the auto detect function in the beginning (asking for the SPL version) is not really working... i have installed the latest version of HARD SPL buts till the auto detect feature gives me an error.... i have experienced this problem in the development release as well by the way... ?!?

TEXT MESSAGING

SMS messaging doesn’t seem to be working properly either, especially the DELIVERY NOTIFICATION function. Most of the time, i receive no delivery notification at all….

ON/OFF HARDWARE BUTTON

Reaction time of the ON/OFF button at the right side of the device is very slow. Is this normal? How can I accelerate the response time of the device? (this would be VERY important for me! Please help!)

CONNECTION SETUP

The Austrian network provider TELERING is not available in the CONNECTION SETUP. Would be nice, if it would (no big deal though…)

AUTO INSTALL FROM SDHC CARD

I too have problems with software autoinstalling from SDHC card (iGo).

If anyone could point me in the right direction to solve those probs, I really would be grateful.

Besides those issues, I really like the ROM (THANK YOU VERY MUCH CRCinAU!). the look is cool, the speed is fine. And I do like, that it is not overloaded with features and apps…

Looking forward to further development!

kudos to CRCinAU!

peace! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thedogger:
The ROM comes with Windows Live, which integrates with MS Messenger and Microsofts online Live service. I uninstalled that right after flashing. Windows Live Search is a separate application. Maybe the two link together though, and by uninstalling Windows Live, I removed a DLL that Live Search depended on. The cab is LivesearchWM6.cab -- it's a sweet program actually. You can use voice to say what city you want to search, check out gas prices, weather, movies etc. I reinstalled Windows Live, but that didn't fix Live Search.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Toleraen:
I've got the same issue as you with the latest Live Search, albeit with 10.8. I rolled back to a version (2.0.2739.29907) without the voice recognition stuff in there and it works fine. It'd be nice to get the newest one working though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Hmm ... those services are not available on this part of the globe :) nice to have though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 21667:
what's the diffrence between 10.8 and 11?(dont tell me that 10.8 is development and 11 is stable, i know that, i just wanna know the exact diffrence)

i've installled 10.8 earlier and still found out that the taskbar battery increment is still by 10%. i dont know why...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpeters:
re-align screen

this truly is a great ROM, thanks.

the only issue i have run into so far is that when i go to re-align my screen (settings>system>screen>align screen) the system completely locks up and i need to do a soft reset. it actually gets to the alignment screen, but when i try to tap the target nothing happens. this wouldn't be a big deal but i think i was pretty sloppy when i initially did it during setup. has anyone else had this happen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Nope sorry snappy as for me, no freezes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
This is because the age of our dear Hermes is starting to show - it only has 64MB of RAM.

I found that you can preserve more free RAM by adjusting the following value in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize

Try setting it to either of these values:

0x1000 hex / 4096 decimal (fixes cache at 4096 sectors or 2MB of RAM)

The default value is 0, which does NOT mean that the cache size is zero. If set to zero, it means "FATFS determines the best cache size to use." I find it eats up a bit too much free RAM if set to 0.

Delivery Notification

hello again...

let me please ask you again: anyone else having problems with the DELIVERY NOTIFICATION of text messages? :confused:

thx.krz
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
No you can if you want to have it get schaps advanced config and sort it from there
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KRZTF:
thx for your fast reply.

how exactly can i do that?

i have it installed, SMS delivery notification is ENABLED, still i receive nothing!

anything else i could try?

thx.krz

TCPMP issues on CRC...

I am trying to use TCPMP player on this CRC's ROM with no luck so far:(.

-I have searched this thread for the right TCPMP cab. No luck

-I have seached the forum for the right TCPMP cab, and found this thread "TCPMP new VS2008 builds for WM6.1 with FLV built in - in the Development and Hacking forum of xda-developers." URL---> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=380387&goto=newpost

No luck with this one either, as all the option & menu boxes are totaly blacked out.

Is there no one using this great CRC rom that uses or has used a working version of TCPMP on it? If so can you Please kindly pass on the link, Cab, or a PM of how to get a working version on this rom. Thanks Gem.

Thanks for that! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ferdaus:
Well, speaking as a newbie, you wouldn't want to meddle with Radio rom as your hardware normally has the correct settings to work with the carrier in the country you live in. Unless, that is you're willing to risk your phone - and some people can afford that. ;)

Secondly, I believe there is nothing much you can do to improve your Wifi as it is hardware dependent. The tweak you saw in the Advanced Config allows you to enable WPA support, that about it.

If you browse a lot using your phone (say, using Skyfire for videos) definitely the battery will drain very fast.

Perhaps the others have a different opinion, but that's just based on my experience.

Ferdaus.

Tcpmp v0.72rc1

TCPMP works great on my Hermes using CRCs 13.4 ROM.

I am using TCPMP Version 0.72RC1.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gemblaster:
I am using a Hermes (100 I think) Cingular 8525, with no front camera. I have tried to load the above TCPMP twice now still with same results.

What Hermes are you using? And could you PLEASE PM me the working CAB version that you are using? Or even the link to the right download? Your cab might be better, in case the download ones may at this time be corrupt in some small way.

Thank you for any help with this you can.

Gem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] philippe7v7:
Thanks. I will think twice or thrice before I try to upgrade my Radio ROM. I hope there is some sort of a chagelog where I could know the carriers the Radio ROMs support well. At least I'd know what to install. My concern really is stability and battery life ... I heard 1.47.00.10 is ok. But I will have to try it later on.

I've also read somewhere that there will definitely be improvements if I upgrade from an old 1.06 to something like 1.47, 1.54 or 1.56. I just don't know if the benefits will really outweigh the bugs and problems of newer Radio ROMs.

If there are others on this thread who experienced improvements and stability, please do share the Radio ROM version you used so at least I could start from there.

Many thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I use 1.56.70.11 and all seems ok. What you have to keep in mind is that over time minor fixes were made in the radio versions to help with issues with certain carriers. As there is no changelog (as this is something only HTC would have), it can be trial and error in flashing radio ROMs.

Some notes however before you start experimenting:

1) Make sure you have HardSPL installed.

2) Always flash the radio from the SD Card

3) NEVER interrupt a radio flash.

The radio ROM is the part that can easily brick the phone (a real brick - ie the GSM side will never work again) - so unless you REALLY know what you're doing, don't plan to change this ROM all the time. I would recommend going to the latest version, see how things go, if you have troubles go back to 1.47.xx.xx and leave it at that.

You may or may not need to reflash the OS ROM to the device for stability after changing from such an old radio ROM -as GSM bootloaders and the lot will change on your first upgrade.

There is a link in my sig to all the radio versions I am aware have been released. Also keep in mind that you won't easily be able to go back to 1.06 after you've upgraded. I wouldn't think that would matter, but you should be aware of it anyhow.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Ok - I've had a bit of a tinker and with the details you sent me, in theory this SHOULD auto-setup the internet & MMS when run.

Can you please do a hard reset of the device, skip the initial configuration prompts via HTC Connection Wizard, download and install the attached test version. Hopefully, it should work. If not, please let me know as it's been a while since I've added stuff to the database!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Interesting! Could I talk you into setting up one with Cincinnati Bell?

If so, then the next time your in southwest Ohio, I'll buy you a beer! (I know it's a long drive from down under!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I have plans to put this all on the web so people can verify/edit settings for their provider and I can automatically roll out a monthly updated CAB with all the correct settings that have been updated.

This being said, it's a hell of a lot of work! Lets see if I can get things right with one provider first - as it's been well over 8 months since I've done this last!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Ok, cool! I can wait. When your ready for the settings I can come up with them.

Or, if you have directions, I would be willing to edit my own.

I have looked inside the files, but so far it's just a bit beyond me. Maybe an explanation would do me good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thedeva:

Will try to do a tinker with this after the weekend when I get back to my work desk;).

Thanks a LOT.

PS- will this set up on ANY of your roms, and even other 6.1-6.5 versions with these settings, or only this CRC rom version?

If it does work, it should work on all ROMs.

no MMS

So I searched the post and see some similar issues

http://xdaforums.com/search_rop.php?searchid=26752861

but I have yet to find a solution

In versions 13.3 and now 13.4 I can not send or receive MMS. It wasn't a big deal back when I had my old plan but now that I am a paying for the extra service I might as well use it. I have the Normal version installed which has Arcsoft 5 installed. It says AT&T MMS under servers with no option to edit so I guess it correct.

When I try to send something I get the "there is a problem connecting to the GPRS service...."

should I go to CRC naked and install arcsoft 4? Or is there a setting that I need to change? The wi-fi works and so does normal text messaging.

there a plenty of other post about this but very solutions....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
This may be an issue with your carrier. Do you have MMS/Data enabled on your SIM card? For example, for my carrier I needed to call to get MMS enabled, then send an MMS before my phone was marked as able to receive MMS messages...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
Also, you may want to run the Netword Wizard again. This may assist you in getting the correct "connection" set up for MMS. I've ran into this my last two flashes (last 2 days). Hopefully this helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dwnsouth:
...and i thought about that last night before i went to bed. This SIM card is my original from about 6 years ago (3 phones ago) and mms was no where near where it is now. Its stands to believe that it may be what you said. I will give them a call and post the outcome later.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gemblaster:
I also had an OLD 2G Sim card that would not work with all the 3G functions. On my SIm cards anyways, I could actually see 2G & 3G in the rows of numbers that your carrier will need to identify your card. Don't let them charge you for the newer 3G Sim, as you pay enough, I persisted and got two Sims free in the last 4-5 months;).

GB
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dwnsouth:
Sure enough that was it. I was on the 2G (64K) SIM which cant handle 3G stuff like MMS. Made the call to ATT and used the 3G SIM that came from the original owner who never used it. Sent a MMS and it works...

Thanks to all who replied and I hope this helps others.....

CRC my friend, any thoughts on this?

http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/microsoft-delivers-oneapp-app-framework-for-featurephones/
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Both good and a curse. DeviceUpdate works like this - most of the CPU horsepower is used on the servers with the client only having to execute basic instructions.

While this is changing, I can see it in a Microsoft sense as leading to subscription services for 'online' apps. If this takes off or not, who knows as mobile devices are getting better and faster every year - which may make this obsolete before it really gets off the ground.

I can see in the future the limiting factors will be bandwidth issues to the handheld devices - not CPU or RAM.

Calendar entries wrong on today

I've got this strange problem. The calendar entries that are shown on today, are off by 2 hours (earlier) but the time is right when I open the calendar. Sometimes it cures it self, sometimes it works after softreset, but there's always something that messes it up and I have verified it's not the Active Sync. I didn't have this problem with the earlier version 13.3.

I've checked the time zone (which is always pointed to wrong City, but it's still in the time zone) and I do have the Automatic time zone checked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Turn off automatic time zone, then change your time zone to something wrong and then finally change it to the correct time zone.

Auto timezones sometimes act weird.

So, we're all waiting for the development 14.1 to be released as Stable. Any possibility on that happening soon perhaps?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Probably not for a while. I had some major issues with the current 14.1 build which makes me not want to make it stable. At the moment, the development build has stalled until I can port a newer version of WM6.1 that has been officially released to the Hermes - I'm not too keen on going the WM6.5 route.

I'd recently jumped onto the WM6.5 bandwagon; and whilst the ROMs I tried have been more stable than my WM5, they still felt still bloated and sluggish.

CRC Updates Issues with Mr. DSL's 6.5 Titanium

I've been testing MR. DSL's 6.5 Titanium ROM (Build 21728 3g) that is fast and stable. Never had a reset or screen freeze for about a week now with heavy usage. The ROM is also very beautiful with the Black Bliss and 2BeyondInvisibleIcons.

The only problem I've encountered is when i use certain updates using CRC's Update. When I dowload the software button menu utility it changes the theme. It also somehow corrupts the screen refresh and when you try to slide a screen up or down the icons appear smeared across the screen. This also may be becuase there is an incompatibility with Mort Script on certain HTC plug-ins and utilities that reinstall the HTC original theme and titanium panel icon attributes. I even tried to ensure the theme was deselected in the today menu before downloading and installing.

Any clue to the exact issue? Thanks in advance! I will also post to MR DSL's ROM thread as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Either an issue with the ROM or WM6.5. Posting in the actual ROMs thread may help more than I can.

You can make it louder during the call, for example with the scrollwheel (hardwarebutton on the left side of the phone).

This ROM is best I ever tried, but I can not deal with VOIP, voip call comes as usualy, but it stops after pickup, same does when Im trying to call, it stops after other side wants to pick it up. I would be thanks, if someone helps me with this issue. I have SJphone it works great, but does not work picking up button, it works with autoanswer mode. Similar problems have every other voip software, that is why I would like to have voip installed on original dialpud.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
These links should be working again as the server is now operational again. There seemed to be an error on the filesystem causing it not to boot and forcing a manual disk check to the run.

I've been tinkering with my own GPS software at the moment and I'm also starting to see this. I'll take a look at it when I have some spare time and see if I can figure out what is going on here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
It appears you have these files missing:

gpsapi.dll

gpsid.dll

GPSID_HTC.dll

SerialGPS.dll

And the registry settings that go with them, as documented in MSDN.

Got this info from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=328810&page=11

Edit: There's no need for GPSID_HTC.dll and SerialGPS.dll. I've managed to get it working after adding the files and regkeys. Making a CAB now for those who're interested. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
GPSID Fix

Edit: Looks like it's not working afterall! However, I'm still leaving this here incase anyone's interested.

Just finished making and testing the CAB. It works both on the stable and beta versions (and possibly other ROMs with missing GPS Intermediary Drivers)

Procedure:

1) Turn on your GPS receiver and pair your WM device with it.

2) Install GPSIDfix.cab

3) Soft-Reset device

4) Goto Start -> Settings -> Connections -> External GPS and make sure the settings are according to your device/preferences.

Enjoy using multiple GPS apps at the same time :)
