Ah, gotcha. Where's that found then? (was under the -false- assumption that this was bundled with CF 3.5 ;))

Also, kudos for the registration setup. You need to make that a bit more obvious though! How about a menu option which reopens the dialog box with the URL to the Device Update web page on your site? I only saw it once during the first boot of your own ROM, and it's mentioned nowhere on the Register Device screen... :)

And while I'm on a roll, how about an option in a future version where tapping on OK once your app choices are installed DOESN'T soft reset unless you answer yes to a subsequent yes/no dialog? I'm having to install in batches to figure out which app / app combo's causing DU to crash out...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
It will be on these forums or google should turn it up. I think I posted it in either this thread or the DU thread. Usually a crash means you haven't got any data connections available, not connected to wifi or activesync and DU tries to download information. When this happens, DU currently throws a hissy fit.

Yeah - I'm working on ways of making this more obvious without looking like nagware... I'm thinking of having a message where we load the application index pointing to somewhere that explains things in a little more detail - and maybe mobile friendly - but still not 100% sure.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christopherwoods:
Was connected via WiFi and had a cellular connection as well, I think it's me being a bit greedy and choosing 5 or more apps, and one of those is either making DU loop and crash when it can't download data fast enough, or if it's exhausting its temporary storage or something else like that which means it can't download and run all the CABs sequentially. Bit of an odd 'un, because doing each particularly problematic CAB separately seems to work fine.

An ability to put any username and password into the boxes, and if the username's not already registered, have the app register the username automatically and then register the device... That'd be a nice addition for one-click registration :D It'd negate the confirmation email though. Maybe show a code on the device and in the Register Device box until the email account is verified?

Also, I've noticed that for installs which DU marks as complete, the item disappears from the list when you next run it. But for installs where only some of the apps chosen are instaled (due to a crash) DU doesn't recognise that these apps are already installed, and still shows them in the list as available to install. Is it not possible to update a text file (or however DU remembers its previously installed apps) on an install-by-install basis, instead of updating after the last app has finished?

Also, how difficult would it be to make DU remember previous app installs and indicate them as already installed with a greyed out / already checked checkbox? Or modularising the installation process so that if for some reason the CAB download fails, or the install process fails, it's just the installer thread which bugs out, and the DU main app stays up allowing you to change your selection of apps?

Of course, as a luser I can request all these marvellous features and you have to go code them :P but they would be lovely additions / features to see in forthcoming builds. The app is almost perfect already (it's saved me an absolute ton of time tapping and transferring from PC to device in the past 10 days!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] .wojtek:
for me main advantages:

- scrollin everything with te finger (lists/menus/etc.)

- finger friendly menus (i know, there is an app for that, but those in 6.5 are way better)

- new unock screen (i'm aware of s2u2, but it works weird on my phone/seems to be slow)

I don't like titanium and honeybomb tho, they could be stripped and thrown away xD

I've decided to install Naked BS and i've run into trouble. I cant run .net applications. thought i have to instal CF but that doesnt work (an error at the end). What can I do?! :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lukeio:
been using this rom for a long time now, love the battery life i get out of it. As i also live in Australia and iam with telstra this is the perfect rom for me.

Keep up the good work man, is it possible to completely replace media player with the htc audio manager?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] robrax:
I switched to this rom from schaps 4.30. I found a huge improvement in speed. Not sure about battery life since I actually use it a lot more now it's more responsive :). Just wanted to voice my appreciation for the hard work that went into this excellent rom.

I like the device update feature, however it would be nice to be able to install things on the storage card as i went for the 'normal' version of the rom rather than 'big storage' (i was worried as somewhere in the wiki in mentioed big storage can make for instability).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ferdaus:
No doubt this rom is the fastest anyone using Hermes can have. Very simple test I did was comparing full screen video playback i.e. using Youtube running on Skyfire. I just can't get the same performance even using the other latest wm6.5 (23001 or 23004).

Looks like I'm sticking with wm6.1 until the chef came out with another latest version. By the way, the chef has been quiet since this rom was released last month. Well, perhaps he's cooking wm6.5 rom?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
http://www.crc.id.au/deviceupdate/user-faq.pl#7

I doubt you'll see a WM6.5 ROM from me. I just don't like it that much - especially when trying to get it working with acceptable performance on what is now a rather aged platform that is the Hermes. It'd basically be a cut down version of WM6.5 that would end up exactly like 6.1 - so there's no real point!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Thunder_PC:
Doh! are there any mirrors? I just switched from a broken (LCD) tilt to a 8525 and was excited to find a 6.1 rom without manilla(I too strongly dislike 6.5, as well as manilla), but the link in the first post appears to be dead :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Works ok here... What error do you get?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Thunder_PC:
It's back up now. All three version were giving me a 404, even though I could access the message about hotlinking at http://mirror.wookiee.com.au/www.crc.id.au/ . At any rate sorry for the alarm ;). I am excited to get 'er flashed!

Not Found

The requested URL /home/crcinau/crcinau.nerdporn.com.au/index.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Wow. That's strange. the nerdporn.com.au mirror has been dead for quite a while and removed from the mirror system - so I have no idea why you were directed there :|

Did you always follow the link from the first post?

Are you able to pm me your IP address, I'll track down where you came into the mirror system and see what happened - as nobody should hit that (dead) mirror...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Thunder_PC:
Sure thing! PM sent. FWIW, yes I was was only linking from first post. I tried multiple times (within only maybe a 2 minute time frame) on all three 13.4 versions, and got that same 404 each time. I checked one more time right before reading your post about them being up, and it went through fine.

At any rate, GREAT rom!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Cool_Deamon:
It is said in this forum that 6.5 cut down version (end up like 6.1) it's faster, not true? :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aln:
anyone?.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Thunder_PC:
Not in my experience with two devices. I tried several stripped down 6.5 versions on my tilt on one on the 8525, and they have all been dogs. With or without titanium, with or without being "naked", they all seem very sluggish in comparison to a well built 6.1 rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
I vehemently disagree. I've run about 7 different 6.5 roms and they all are comparable in speed to this great rom CRC has created once I load all my programs - which is alot.

-

I like the email setup better in 6.5. It makes it so I can swipe side to side to get to different accounts, has more selection options for the messages and loads faster in high info emails like the ones I get from fatwallet.com.

-

Beyond that they are all stable for me with no hard resets, no soft resets and the operation is smooth.

-

I like using titanium, but also enjoy using Mobile Shell 3. If I were to use 6.1it would be this CRC rom which I why I remain subscribed to it. I wouldn't say it's faster or more stable than a 6.5 rom at this point though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ferdaus:
Perhaps you'd like to point out which 6.5 you've tested so far? :p

Well as CRC pointed out, our Hermes has aged - but I wouldn't trade this for anything just because this old piece of hardware is the only thing with 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, InfraRed and nice little qwerty keyboard built on it. Okay, some people might ask, why IR? To me, NoviiRemote is the answer. I can't seem to find anything that carries everything plus IR nowadays.

Still, I'm using radio 1.47.00.10 and whenever Wifi is turned on, my battery drains heavily. Browsing Youtube on Skyfire took me like 20 minutes from 100% to 15% charge. Appreciate some advice, anyone.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Thunder_PC:
I'd like to know also. I have tested only one 6.5 on the 8525 to compare (MUCH slower, very laggy, and required frequent soft resets). I have tried TONS of 6.5 roms on my tilt, with the same degree of sluggishness/unresponsiveness/instability.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
I use the roms created by Tai_Sw, Irfan ?, and utak3r. All 3 create roms that are varied, fast and stable.

-

The only problems I've had in 6.5 is the underscore typing issue and that has been handled in the latest builds.

-

I won't say anymore in this thread as not to disrespect CRC's work and continue off topic. If you want more info pm me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Thunder_PC:
I can certainly say that the latest release from one of those is not very fast or stable. I also will not mention which it was I tried in the interest of not insulting the chef. Perhaps we just have very different definitions of stable and fast. I do know that this rom is FAR more stable and noticeably snappier than the 6.5 I tried.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
Just remember these chefs are working with cutting edge info and the results can change with every build - which is why CRC has said he would wait for the OFFICIAL 6.5 to come out first.

These are all development roms so some builds will be shaky. I personally haven't had to flash from the 6.5 I've been using for over a week of 8 hour use per day with no hard or soft resets and no freezes. I'm using IZ Light V6.

Basically these are roms that would be in CRC's development thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikeage:
I just bought a Hermes used, and of course, I started putting on just about every ROM I can find :)

So far, I've been really pleased with CRC's releases; although I've only tried 5 or 6 so far, these seem to be the best in terms of functionality, performance, and overall polish.

I just tried the naked big storage release of 13.4, and I was really excited to see > 78MB free for storage! However, the naked release was a big _too_ naked; it was missing, for example, the comm manager, which based on the past few days, I suspect is something I'd be using a lot.

Is there a good resource for CABs for the various software included in the full release but not in the naked one?

Alternatively, is there any way to convert / create a normal image that's "big storage" as well?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JediFonger:
mikeage, i would stop l00king ;).

CRC is nothing but the best. just the device update implementation alone is way worth everything =).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikeage:
True, it is nice... but I just finished installing my applications: 35MB+ in one day :)

It would be nice to have the "big storage" available...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
The device update comes with the naked big storage version and has the comm manager and all those things on it ready to download and install in one quick stroke.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikeage:
Heh... I never even tried it, since I didn't have wifi available earlier, and I was having trouble with passthrough. I'll try again, though... thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ImDonly1:
When typing on the keyboard if you do the "dot thing" to say do a question mark or -, _, !. Any of these characters. They are all mixed up. The key pressed does not give the right character. Is there any fix for this?

Thanks. I am using the latest release 13.4 naked version.

Edit: Nevermind, found it thanks to whoever posted this earlier. Use the Advanced Config utility. Go to the Input option and make sure you have selected AT&T/Cingular for the Keyboard Layout.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Install shaps advanced config from DeviceUpdate and set the keyboard to the AT&T style.

MMS solution for this ROM anyone please?

After much searching for mms to work, here it is for Fido......

These are the Fido Canada Settings for GPRS & MMS to work. I hope these help someone as they have helped me (after 2 years of no MMS'ing).

GPRS settings

In start –> settings –> connections –> connections

under My ISP, chose “add a new modem connection”

Enter a name for this new connection (I put Fido Internet)

Select a modem — Cellular line (gprs)

click next

access point : internet.fido.ca

click next

username and password : both set to “fido”

Domain : 205.151.11.11

click finish

close this window

MMS Settings

Since I have used ‘My ISP’, I will set up a new connetion which I call ‘My MMS’

Step 1:

in start –> settings –> connections tab –> connections –> advanced tab –> select network –> click new in the first section

– In the ‘General’ tab Enter a name for the connection ( I named mine ‘My MMS’ without the quotes)

– In the ‘Modem’ tab, select ‘New’.

– In the ‘make new Connection’ window, 2 boxes show up. In the ‘Enter a name for this new connection’ box, put in a name (I put Fido MMS)

In the ‘Select a modem’ dropbox, select — Cellular line (gprs)

– click next

access point : mms.fido.ca

– click next

username and password : both set to “fido”

click finish

close this window

Step 2:

open your MMS inbox

go to menu –> MMS configuration

check retrieve message immediately

make sure that “Download on home network only” is not checked… if this box is checked, you will not be able to download your MMS because now with Fido, we are “roaming” on Rogers’s network.

go to servers tab

click new

server name - enter a name for this server (I put Fido MMS)

gateway - 205.151.11.13

port number - 8080

server address - http://mms.fido.ca

connect via : My MMS

Sending size limitation : 250k

Wap version : WAP 2.0

click OK

Cheers.

Stupid question here, did the connection wizard not detect your carrier? (Assuming you ran it or are running the normal version of my ROM)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gemblaster:
Nope, checked, and only Rogers shown for Canada. These settings are for Fido, another gsm carrier, you might want to add them if possible;). I even had to turn off the auto detect connection wizard (thank God I could), as every time the device turned on it would say unfamiliar carrier connection, run wizard for carrier settings. Even though it was working with these settings.

Last question though, and THANKS for noticing my post, I would REALLY REALLY REALLY like to know if there is ANY way to have the Two separate connection types (1 for phone & data, 2nd for MMS to work) as described above) auto switch between themselves:confused:?

What I mean is when you set up 2 new connection types in: in start --> settings --> connections tab --> connections --> advanced tab --> select network --> click new in the first section

Every time now with data & MMS set up to work this way, when you want to send or receive a MMS, you need to go in the connection settings and manually switch between the phone & MMS settings. Not fun, but at least MMS can at least function, better than no mms.

If you know of no solution or way to fix this in the ROM itself, could you please point out a way or a shortcut that can be placed on the today screen or a tab launcher so there is a way to toggle back and forth? The way it is now is a painful operation for this type of a device, considering that the cheapest of the cheap plain cell phones do not have this issue right out of the box.

Lastly, since I only just made my first post here, and have watched & followed your roms since almost the beginning, I just want to say THANKS for your hard work, and you are very talented in what you have done here for all of us! I have to say you are one of the BEST Chefs, and not just for your ROMs, but for caring about the people using them and getting back to them so well, compared to some chefs:D! I just tried the first CRC this week, and I NEVER should have put it off that long LOL.

Make sure your settings in mms are set to use 'My MMS', and not set to internet.

Other than that I don't have a clue, I'm in Ohio on Cincinnati Bell lol.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Ok, that can be done. If you can, please take out your SIM card and there should be a few numbers printed on the SIM card. Send me these numbers via a PM and I'll see what I can do for the future.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gemblaster:
So there IS..... a way to isolate which data connection the MMS feature accesses, seperate from the rest of the phone's, sms, internet data, and calling?

I have looked, and I will really look harder now with you mentioning this. But it seems strange I never ran across that menu option before.

If you wouldn't mind, could you please share with me the string to find that option on the CRC ROM please:)? eg. START\Settings\conntions\etc\etc\..

Thank you VERY much. This will be one of the last things to see this as my fav Rom, once I can get everything working as it should.

I have tried a few TCPMP cab's I have that have worked on many of my other roms(wm6 only), but none work on this one. Can you please point me to the proper TCPMP player CAB that will work on CRC's ROM and other 6.1 -6.5 Roms? Or anyone else if they know where the right version may be, as I have searched this whole thread for it.

I definatly can't live without a working TCPMP on my phone after 2 years of using one LOL.

13.4 Tweak inquiries ... plus Radio and WIFI

I'm a newbie and just installed 13.4 normal on my Dopod838Pro. It works like a charm. It is quite fast than previous versions I used. Thanks CRC!

I just have some questions though on the following tweaks you mentioned (my inquiries in bold).

Tweaks included:

* 802.11g enabled -- Is this enabled by default?

* Cleartype enabled in both normal and landscape mode -- Cleartype seems to be not enabled in landscape mode. How do I do this tweak?

* SD Card power management fix -- Is this fix installed by default?

* Camera delay fix. -- Is this fix installed by default?

* HSDPA Icon enabled (Displays H when HSDPA is active instead of 3G) -- Mine only displays 3G. How do I enable this? I am sure my carrier uses HSDPA.

Radio ROM Inquiry

I am from the Philippines with Globe as carrier. I am using the original Radio ROM 1.06.00.10 (Protocol: 32.37.7010.01H). Would my battery last longer and/or my signal improve if I use the latest 1.56.70.11? Or what other Radio ROM should I use?

WIFI Inquiry

Is there anything I need to install after 13.4 to improve my WIFI? Or all the fixes have already been included here? In the past Dopod released a P_wifi_fix.CAB fix in the ExtRom. Do I still need this?

Thanks.

Open messaging pick sms/mms > menu > mms options > servers tab > pick/set up your connection with all the settings. Just make sure that "Connect via:" is set to the connection you want (and not "the internet").

I think that should be it. If not, then I apologize for wasting time lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ferdaus:
By right, you should have the Advanced Configuration Tool included in this rom. Look for the Advanced Config icon and you should be able to tweak those in question to your liking. Otherwise, using Device Update download Schap's Advanced Config.

Each of the tweak has its own explanation box so you'll know what its for.

Ferdaus.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] philippe7v7:
Hi,

Thanks Ferdaus. It seems that the Advanced Configuration Tool was not in the normal ROM. I used Device Update to get it installed. That clarified all the tweaks (although I haven't found the 802.11g to be already enabled).

That leaves my inquiries on the Radio ROM and WIFI.

Thanks again.

That a good advice, I had the same problem. Any software trying to auto install from the sd card seem to stop Office, VC & Live from installing so its worth taking your card out or, if you use UC, moving the autorun files from the sd cad before you boot until after the initial boot.
