Hmmm - I still can't get it going - same issues I've seen recently.

My BT GPS has COM9 so I set Hardware dropdown for GPS Hardware Port to COM9, 9600 baud.

The "Manage GPS automatically" is ticked on the Access tab.

Under the Programs tab, I set GPS Program Port to COM0.

When I look in TomTom, there is a listing for COM9 (which works), however COM0 is not present.

In Google Maps, selecting "Managed by Windows" doesn't seem to fire up the BT connection to the GPS with a "No GPS receiver was found" error after a short amount of time. Selecting COM0 & 9600 baud brings up an error the instant the GPS is accessed. If I select COM9, it works as expected.

As such, it seems your fix doesn't work - or there is something else going on here which I haven't been able to find yet. It's almost like the files are there, but the Intermediary Driver just isn't firing up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
Hmm, my bad. Actually I tried this out on 14.1 and it appeared to work. I just went back to 13.4 and indeed, it's not working. Although the necessary files and registry entries have been installed by the cab... maybe you need to cook it into the ROM for it to work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Not 100% sure - I might need to source the GPSID directory from a different ROM where it works and compare it to mine to see what the go is. It may just be this build of WM that it's broken - as I know a guy with a different phone on the same build of WM that has issues with the GPS as well - but he won't let me play with it to see what the go is ;)

It'll have to wait until sometime next week as I'm booked solid until then and I'll see what I can find out.

(If someone can extract the GPSID folder from a known working ROM and attach it here, you'd make things much easier and quicker!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
After searching high and low for a working 20270 ROM, the closest I could find was PDAVIET's 20270.1.3.1 , and the GPSID seems to be working fine by default.

Any suggestions on what should I look at?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
After dumping the ROM (if possible), the folders should be GPSID and possible some more folders starting with GPSID.

Otherwise, it might not matter that it's not exactly the same build - as long as it's a WM6.1 thing it may well be ok - although testing is probably required.

CRC, (again) compliments for your ROM.

You make the Hermes useable :)

I'm using your ROM since 13.1 and recently flashed to 13.4 (naked). I discovered that my Hermes was faster in using it (calendar, contacts, etc.) then a new Samsumg Omnia (with a lot of Samsung software of course) from a friend of mine :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
I'm not able to dump the other 20720 ROMs (PDAViet's and DFT's) because they're protected, but I am able to dump the other builds. However, your own 14.1 works fine so why not have a look at those files? :)

By the way, I just copied the two dlls from a 20720 SYS (thanks dan-htc-fan) and the

GPSID loads

(the driver shows up as "Started" in SKTools), but this time around, Google Maps simply crashes if set to be managed by Windows!

Trying to rebuild the 13.1 ROM now with different different GPSIDs and see how it goes..

Voip call stops

So here os nobody to help me with voip issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Sorry mate, I don't use VoIP on my Hermes so I can't help you here - maybe try a new post in the forum as it may well be a generic issue with WM VoIP?

True - I didn't think of this. I won't get chance to do this until midweek at this stage - if you beat me to it, let me know how your tests go.

Oh joys. You've gotta love random behaviour ;)

Cool - let me know what you figure out and i'll see what I can do... You may have to make the actual DLL into a module for it to work properly - recmod (from memory) will do this.

CRC_r13.4-normal is by far the best ROM i have tried so far. I love it. The only problem i had with it was not being able to check my email, but i just installed the ATT proxy crap and solved it. Thank you for an amazing ROM! :D

On the gps issue, here is my gpsid and os folders. My gps works just fine from 20931

http://www.filedropper.com/gpsthings

I only have 2 of the files listed a couple pages back.

I 7zipped my kitchen, and it's in my sig, it's broken into 4 pieces so it would fit at 4shared.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Just a quick update. I'm 99% sure I've fixed the GPS sharing issue.

I'm also having a quick look at the notification system to see if I can track down where the issues with notifications going silent on random occasions comes from.

I'm currently on build 13.5-pre3 on my phone and I'll hopefully have something next week if everything proves to be stable.

Hi CRC ... i have been trying to get back to a stable 6.1 ROM after trying out numerous 6.5 ROMs and figured yours would be the safest to go back to.... but i am unable to get thru any of ur links .. are there mirrors for ur 13.4 and 14.1 ROMs .. coz i need to format quickly???

Update on GPS handling fixes.

Hi all,

Just a quick update on my progress.

The External GPS functionality now seems to work correctly in Google Maps both by using the "Managed by Windows" option or specifying the emulated COM port and baud rate. I have also tested the emulated COM port from within OziExplorer and that works fine as well.

I've been tinking with TomTom Navigator, but I can't seem to get it to use either the "Built In GPS" or Bluetooth GPS on the emulated COM port. My setup is the BT GPS as COM0, with COM5 set in the External GPS applet. If I tell TomTom to use COM0, all works. COM5 however doesn't work, nor does Internal GPS...

This may well be a TomTom only issue - I'm not too sure :|

EDIT: Oh, and OziExplorer and Google Maps both work at the same time - so we know the intermediate driver is working ok :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
Great news, thanks! Can't wait for 13.5 .. :)

PS: Can I have a look at the PRE for further testing?

Wired headphone not working

hi, i am using this crc image but my wired headphone does not work, sound stills come out of the internal speaker. its connected by a usb-3.5 adapter. maybe a reg issue, any idea?

Release 13.5 now available.

Hi guys,

Release 13.5 (26 Sep 2009):

* Fixed GPS intermediate driver for Windows Managed External GPS units (Start -> Settings -> Connections -> External GPS)

* Fixed random silences of notifications etc.

Enjoy! :)

newbie ask

first of all,thank you for your release...i like them,i'm currently using 13.4 and i'm happy about it,but i cant uninstall office,it keeps showing on my remove program...but it's not a big deal....

i want to try your new release,the question is,can i keep my existing installed programs?in main memory and external card?thx keep up the good work....:):):)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
No. When you flash the ROM, then all programs will be erased. Anything on your SD card will remain - but everything else will go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eiroljohn:
Thanks for the new release. Looking forward to try it and fixed the problem I encountered on your 13.4 rom. The problem I'm having is that i lose the accuracy of my touch screen after sometime of using your 13.4 rom. This is visible when I use on screen keyboard. It happens on the left side of the keyboards.

I'm currently using Schaps 4.31 and doesn't encounter the issue. Just wanted to update to a much higher rom version. Hope to finally stick on your ROM. I love your work Sir.. Keep it up.. More power.

Device:

Imate JasJam with 2.10 boot loader.

Thanks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
Just use the Comm Manager. If you're not using the Extended ROM, you'll need to get it manually, via Device Update.

Hello

I flashed for a test-run the 13.5 Normal ROM and I noticed that the free ram was rather low: 21 mb at startup meaning some 15 mb after use - more or less like a wm 6.5 with tintanium or manilla.

Somehow I expected something in the 25-28 mb free ram at startup (as it was in the screenshot). Should I have used the Ulite ROM?

Regards

Normal vs. Naked

Hi guys,

I couldn't find a description/comparison of Normal vs. Naked vs. Naked Big Storage. Can somebody explain it real quick? Or point me to where I can get this info?

I am currently on TAI's WM6.5 , but it drains the battery as crazy, so I considering going back to 6.1 and if I remember correctly this was one of the best ROMs around here .

Thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Shawn80:
As far as What is the difference between normal and big storage. Search the WIKI. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ROM_Types

Naked means that non of the default apps that come with the custom ROM are installed. ( I think :D)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 99GAGT3400:
me too i always end up back with CRC's rom. i tried 6.5 roms and they are way too buggy and i just dont like the feel of them.

i ve tried multiple other roms and give them a few days to try them out but in the end i always ended up back with CRC's 13.4. ill give 13.5 a whirl this weekend and i know i wont be disappointed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JediFonger:
hi CRC man,

i know this has been brought up before, but will Hermes users be privy to 6.5 OS upgrades? just curious =).

trying to figure out if i should stick w/what i have vs. upgrading to TP2 or keep waiting for Tegra phone =P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I don't think I'll be producing a 6.5 ROM. I find it too slow and clunky for the Hermes. Personally, I want a TP2 myself - but I can't see that happening in the near future ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [deXter]:
+1

Personally though, if you have the money to buy a TP2, go for an Android device instead, like HTC Hero or Motorola CILQ. Both devices have pushed Android to the extremes with a very customizable and fast UI. You all know that the Android platform is open, flexible and progressing quite fast - compare that to WM, which MS has single-handeldly managed to screw up. I doubt we all would even be using our WM phones if it weren't for XDA-Devs/PPCGeeks/MoDaCo etc.

WM6.5 is a joke. It's a result of confusion and panic in MS - do they want WM to be a next-gen finger-friendly OS competing with the likes of the iPhone, or do they want to continue to be seen as a stable platform which thousands of professionals can bank upon, against the likes of the Blackberry?

Titanium? Puh-leez. Take a good look at SPB MobileShell 3.5+, at HTC Sense, at MOTOBLUR.

'nuff said.

Even the iPhone meanwhile, has come back strongly against criticism. They already have copy-paste support, and I won't be surprised if the next update brings in multi-tasking. The way they're progressing, soon there won't be any negative points. (Except maybe the lack of buttons, and Apple's monopolistic nature)

So my advise is not to go for a new WM device at the moment, unless if there's a significant change in hardware (like 1GHz CPUs) or software (like WM7).

Of course, if you're getting a great second-hand deal, by all means go for it.. (and do let me know too :D)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I agree with most of this, however I use a lot of apps that are custom to the things I do in every day life. I have some great software that allows me to do GPS flight navigation on the Hermes with the proper aviation maps - not legal to use as primary means of navigation, but a great confirmation on where you are!

Other options like TomTom are a must and get used regularly.

I personally use my Normal ROM with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 - a nice change from 3.1, but still needs a bit of work on the new features. I really think that even if I did get a TP2 or newer device, I'd be cooking another WM6.1 ROM and using the same software on it again. Obviously the advantages are more storage, more RAM, and an inbuilt GPS.

hello, can anybody point me the link to download office mobile 6.1 that installs on SD card. Ive just upgraded my phone to CRC 13.5 naked and cannot find office mobile on device update. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JediFonger:
nyce. i think i'm going to wait for a tegra phone. from what i hear, that is the nextgen mobile device to have. i can't wait to have the power of playing 1080p from ur phone. not that i would, the point is if u have enough power to do that, u can do basic dialing, contact management w/ease =P. even w/the best naked release from CRC (the best) i still find our hermes sluggish. i've played around w/friend's iPhone and it's pretty snappy! so sometimes just trying to end a call is so difficult, lol. basic stuff mates... basic stuff, still very hard for a smartphone to accomplish. just hoping that tegra will be using a really fast CPU, but i hear it's only a8 and a9.

CRC 13.4

Hi,

I've been using now CRC 13.4 and notest big performance accelaration when compared with the horrible original instalation! Congratulations.

Nevertheless, Is there any way of when installing the ROM , the first thing to do is set automatically the "my documents", "application data", "progam files", "my pictures", "my video" and "my music" to the storage card?

("advanced config" allows this, but I can use it only when already installed some stuff). This phone has very litle internal storage and I don't want to install nothing in it, afraiding of performance issues.

Also, on my previous ROM version (was WM6.0 and this is WM6.1) didn't had problems connecting to my home and work WiFi and I simply can't connect it now. Is there any problem with WM6.1 or your ROM? (nevertheless, I can connect to some WiFi spots)

Here follows a list of collegues' PDA success:

- "ASUS P320" WM6.1 build 19202 - doesn't work

- "ZTE mobile bluebelt" WM6.1 build 19971 - doesn't work

- Mine "HTC TyTN" WM6.1 build 20270 - doesn't work

- "HTC (w big VGA screen and very few keys)" WM6.1 build 20769 - WORKS!

I don't understand much of builds but it seams like only after WM6.1 build 20769 this problem was solved.

If so, are you planing on doing a build on this build?

Finally, my TyTN (Hermes) sometimes didn't let me turn it on - the screen stayed off while the green leds still blinking.

That was because I've changed the default locations of the dirs listed above. I've copied all the stuff in the phone mem to the card and its now everything OK.

Thanks!

How to silence incoming calls?

Hi CRC,

When I was using your older ROM, I think the 12 series (it came with the Dopod838Pro I bought 2nd hand), I can silence an incoming call with the lower-left-corner soft-button (sorry I don't know the term) with 'Silence' indicated. The 'Silence' word only comes out when there is an incoming call, otherwise it reads 'Action' on the left and 'Contacts' on the right.

When I upgraded to 13.4 last July, this 'feature' was gone. Is this 'feature' a software add-on? Is it back in 13.5? I really need to silence incoming calls when needed.

Thanks.

MIDP 2.0 and MIDlets

Hi,

I have another inquiry. I downloaded a mobile banking application (I think it is a Java Midlet) requiring MIDP 2.0 as per the software's system requirements. Does the CRC ROMs have this already? Is it included in the Device Update? I can't seem to find one. I couldn't install the .jar file I downloaded because the file can't be recognized.

Hope someone could also guide me on my earlier post regarding "silencing" incoming calls.
