Bad luck man

I am absolutely tight until 20th of this month when my clients cheques come in, and gets cleared so I can pay my credit card bill. Then I can help you get another one, I hope people here can see that you make real great roms, and yeah I should have told you guys as well.

Before flashing radios or anything, you need to clear the temp folder on your PC etc, clear cache, so it doesn't get confused. The radio works fine for me, I have yet to determine if it uses battery a lot or not, but for reception and internet it definitely is a goer. I am keeping this radio for now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Download from my 4shared link, there is a diamond 7z, extract, disable your htc home, and just pick the numbers 0 to 9 and the seperator, while you DISABLE your HTC HOME, copy it over to the HTC home folder of your phone, and you will have your black clock like mine. And set in regional settings your clock to display hh:tt or something

Brick!?!?!?

Ohh Abusalza! I can't believe this happened to you! So sorry to hear that!

I just upgraded to radio 1.56.70.11 2 days ago w/o problems. And I just upgraded to v18 RBS no-compression today (had to flash VP3G's in the middle because of that Big-Storage / Hard Reset issue :mad:) and is working great. Hope you can fix your phone soon AND get a new one as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
Even better always use an SDCard!! This is 99% way of not of bricking your device in the first place.

I would NEVER flash a Radio from a PC. It's a sure way of one day bricking your phone as it's way more hazardous to your phones health than say updating the OS. All it takes is a split second break in connection for whatever reason and...

I've been warning people almost as long as I've been on here. Get a 512Mb or so MircoSD card just for flashing, much cheaper than the cost to replace or repair & saves you the time of finding out how to unbrick your phone. HardSPL doesn't stop you from bricking, it just makes it easier to recover.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Well yeah that's just it isn't it, in hindsight may be he should have!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dinoalbert:
thanks, zocster!

now for a black calculator, 3g dialer, and WMP....have you also got some?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
No sorry I don't believe in changing what's cooked in the hermes is already a 'slower' device than others with less RAM and ROM, you'll be loading cab skins to the ROM which will slow things down even more, hence me sticking to what it is and not complaint later about it being slow. :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dinoalbert:
points taken, bro...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thunda_chunky:
Damn, abusalza im really sorry bout your phone man. if its stuck in bootloader theres gotta be some way to recover from that. maybe reflashing the carrier rom on a different computer could help. either way ill try and drop a donation your way when i can. being a college kid with no job makes cash a little tight at times
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I have a spare 1GB card that I emptied. I looked at the HTC Hermes page for SD card flashing. It appears that all I have to do is put the ROM .NHB file on the card, rename it to HERMEIMG.nhb and power into the bootloader.

Any other consideration besides Hard SPL?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
don't apologies for it, brother. that's not your mistake;)

i think i just bad luck:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Nope that is the only thing you need to consider, make sure hard spl is installed. Oh I lied, one more thing you need to format it fat32 first too. I have only done one upgrade the SD way, the rest has been active sync, just make sure that you do a disk cleanup on your PC and reboot before you do flashing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Task manager

I love this one that DVH extracted out of the diamond, nice task manager.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] r35b3ct:

thats really very bad news to hear. hope u got ur issues fixed with ur tools bro

we will absolutely miss ur roms :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edward-riko:
i think this is a sign for us to switch to HTC TuchPro (Rafael)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Are you going to buy our chef a raphael? :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
i'm not stop at this point, just take a rest till able to get my new hermes.

i really like hermes and so familiar:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edward-riko:
no i am not ,

i really like the Hermes , and V17 and V18 rom's are good, my Hermes is very snappy

but starting to think about the next model

from what i read Rafael will be available in end August

Donations

Right I see from the 4shared folder that your ROMs of the RBS and nonRBS variant has been downloaded like 385 times, and say 50% conversion rate of those who downloaded is keeping the rom, let's face it it is rock solid, does 90% of what you need, and it is a flying ROM, it is so light and fast it's not funny.

If just one of those who are actually using the ROM donate just a mere $5.00 come on we're not talking about $100.00 here, only $5.00 each, not much, he can get a new one in no time, and he can keep cooking.

I have started donating even before using his ROM, now that I am using it I have donated further, even not as much as I would have liked, as it is a big job and it can be considered full time employment without the money, it is his labor of love.

He has given so much to the community, let see what he can get back from the community when he needs it most eh?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
My next phone will be the kaiser :p lots more chefs and lots more roms support, known problems, and possible bug fixes, not all the latest are the greatest.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edward-riko:
kaiser is a nice one , it like Hermes (buttons and everything) + a lot of memory and you can get it now in a good price

i like this device also
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Alcibiade:
I dondt know if I did anything wrong but I installed the v18 and once loaded with softwares it is actually much slower than CRC's latets ROM :(

Actually I m used to TNT's ROM (Unfortunately only WM 6.0) that seemed much faster

I love the interface though...

I have a question: when installing Pocket informant 8.1 or HTC X-Button I just dont manage to see them in the softare list (Or by browsing with file explorer neither in the folders anywhere)

Anybody with similar issues ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
If you need help please tell us what you have downloaded. I find the speed is pretty much equal, if not this one slightly faster. I use the latest htc task manager from the diamond i mentioned in the above few posts. I have everything going, push email, msn palringo spb shell and spb phone suite, it's all good with the non RBS non compressed. Also pocket informant (just tried it) is ok running on the mentioned version), what would you like to view in the folders? you need to uninstall that one through activesync? you need to reboot your PPC after that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thunda_chunky:
i agree :D but the Raphael looks beautiful IMO. however my Hermes has been super reliable for the last 9 months. 9!! ive never had any phone that long and all the great roms like abusalzas, are part of the reason. but if AT&T brings out more refurbished Kaisers (Tilt) then i may just spring for one (when i get the money saved up :rolleyes:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
kaiser... raphael... hmm, thats good handhelds.

but i prefer to take hermes, coz a familiar for me:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Sorry to hear this mate. Sadly, as chefs, this is what we risk... I just pray that if this happens to me, the community is there to back me up lol

I hope your fans will help you out here.

On another note, always, always, always flash from SD card. Flashing via USB has probably killed more devices than you would want to hear about...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
yeah, i will try porting rom w/o device:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Since you are the "chef that never sleeps" I bet you can port in your sleep man!!! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
If you want to be 100% safe then check your MicroSD card for errors before flashing.

Back in the early days I had to unbrick my phone 4 times! (all done via USB) It's an awful feeling when you do it so I can understand. Pof, Olipro, Cmonex are the guys to PM to see if there's any chance of recovering your phone. Seeing you've done so much for the communtiy I hope they will try to help you out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
yap, i just pm them. hope them will help for this problem:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lagoskon:
Can the date be changed beyond 16/7/08 without poping up the beta message and then lock the pda?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
i have changed date to 17 june and restart. but nothing happened:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kwangchin:
Any RapidShare mirror please~ =)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lagoskon:
Check if you can August or September 2008 because in pdaviet Rom from dvha79_ddt it fully stops the ROM working and it popups a message about being beta release.

Hi I just flashed this Rom and it looks great.

Only got one problem:

I cant open my contacts. The softkey is not set correctly (points nowhere, but I changed it with Shaps Advanced Config) and the Startmenulink is also not working although its pointing to "poutlook contacts".

Hope someone can help me with it, its more or less a major issue not to be able to access my contacts (syncing works btw)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
thanks for report. i'll try to fix later
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
tried changes to sept 2008 and also 2009 and it's still not locked;)

After installation with my UC of NetCFv3.5, Office2007, MMS 4.2.8.1 , HTC Home and others it felt preety speedy. I will wait to fix the contacts problem.

If you rebuild please consider to update your SetVolume to last version 0.3

This build don't have timebomb problem.

It seems your ROM will be big success

EDIT : Please , also put SetAousticParam in your PreConfig.txt (first or second line) file for better acoustics
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] promomail:
It is locked!

The rom is not working anymore as per June 15th!:mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
set accousticparam was not running on wm6.1. i don't know what a reason
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Can anyone confirm this also that this rom locks?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kaypler:
Changed it even to october and no lockup.

Also not after doing a soft-reset with that date.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Good job

Thanks for the great ROM, didn't realize an Indonesian can do so much (this is not a negative thing as I am one my self).

Anyway! Love your work, I will be checking up when you finally have a true stable build :) I don't have a spare phone to play with. If I did I would have played with this ROM:D as well.

Terima kasih!:D

My bad: installing from Cabd Pocket Informant solve dthe issue (I was installing from PC which is theoritically possible but seems to have issues)

Sorry I wasnt precise enough: I am trying to use HTC Task Manager 2.1 (Built 31487). I can launch the settings, but it doenst sem to b working (No quick menu at the top right side and holding the x button doenst close apps). Could b coflictiing with something else or yabe I missed somethign I should activate somewhere

As far as speed is concerned I have a 8 Mb pagepool. But all in all it feels clearly slower than my TNT SE WM 6.0 with 6 MB page pool. It's not too much of an issue for me, sicne I love the fuctinalities & the design of the apps of this ROM so it's quite likely I will keep this one anyway !!

Thanks if you cna help for Task Manager
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
This is a tangent I realize.. but what do the folks on Diamond/Raphael do? (they don't have an SD card do they?) One small thing that makes me wonder about (not) upgrading when its available.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
again what version? compressed or normal??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Hmm you may need to uninstall the task manager you have, I am running fine as you can see here. If you have a problem with slowness, you need to do this for a keeper, like what you wish to do with this one. You don't need to do this all the time, but if you wish to keep it for a month like I am doing now you need to do this. It will help you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
I don't understand

Running non RBS non compressed V18, my phone has never been better, 48 hours no hard reset, with push email, MSN, active sync running.

All that I have is installed, and it is all going damn fast! On standard 6MB pp and I have not soft reset once at all!

And I added task manager version, and both versions I have on my 4shared works on this rom. I do prefer the DVH HTC Task manager tho.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dinoalbert:
@zocster, its been a while since I last flashed a rom. Can you please tell me agaon how did you have icons shown in the bottom left of the screen?

thanks...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Bottom right? use the advanced config on settings, under today, battery and comm manager set to enable.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Not sure what you're doing, but if you want a keeper, as I said above, do what the Dr ordered. It is a bit of a piss around, but it is worth it, I am having NO HARD RESET issues. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikehippe:
I agree with you zocster. I flashed non RBSnormal, and this is the fastest, most stable ROM I have ever used. I also used TFAT_editor to remove all the ExtRom cabs that I don't use anyway for a super clean install.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Hmm got a link where I can download such editor mate? I would like to remove windows live upon install.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cloudmantw:
that's a bad news. Hope you can unbrick your phone soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dillsnik:
I'm confused...he was showing a best way to use RBS but you say u have the nonRBS version. that doesn't connect :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
It's not just for RBS, good practice to follow if you want to keep a rom for a long time, not like changing your underwear.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thunda_chunky:
as funny as that is, its spot on. before i did it the Faria/Dr.P rom and earlier versions of this rom i was using hard reset about 7 times in one 48 hour period. but since i did it not 1 hard reset (unless im flashing of course, which probably wont happen again til abusalza is back on his feet)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=358910&highlight=TFAT+Image+Editor

1. Use Dutty's Good NBH tool (nbhtool.exe) to extact the RUU_signed.nbh to the individual .nb files

2. Rename Herm_ExtendedRom.nb to Herm_ExtRom.nb

3. Use TFAT_image_editor to remove the specific cabs and save

4. Use Dutty's Good NBH tool to recompile the OS and Ext. Rom .nb files back into the RUU_signed.nbh file

5. Flash your phone

I removed all the cabs and got a super clean non RBS ROM.

I tried adding cabs to the ExtRom.nb file but they don't load after flashing ROM so there must be another file that tells the ExtRom which cabs need to install. If anyone has any idea which file and how to edit would be great.

after testing 4 recent popular ROMs, I decided to keep this one.

However, I wish for a better Calculator skin (black version), a better 3G dialer skin, and that colored 6-button Comm Manager.

Can anyone please point me where can I find a black diamond skin calculator to change the one in this rom?

For the 3G dialler, I tried installing Hermes Dialpad 3G Pandora.....but the numbers/digits are gone and I cant see the numbers I am dialling. Any other 3G dialler skin that can function with this rom?

For the colored CommManager, I remember I have one when I was using Schaps' or Shamanix' before flashing this rom. Question is, if I install that cab installer, will it replace the CommManager of this rom to become colored and still functioning?

Thanks...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
I have this calculator, it's black, hope this helps, a chef just can't please everyone I guess :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Alcibiade:

The icons are a bit big to my taste (If you know a version with smaller ones...), but still, quite nice !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
I think that's the style of the chef, if you like the smaller version, you may have to go to CRC's ROM, I guess this chef like being able to close applications using his fingers instead of the stylus.

No idea what the Diamond folk do but as time goes on we will see how many bricks are caused or how easy it is to unbrick. The Raphael has a MicroSD card slot so I presume that can be used. This is the device I will eventually upgrade to but theres a lot of life left in this Hermes.

@Zocster

Is the .cab for the HTC Home that you are using in one of the cabs at the start of this thread?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Alcibiade:
Ok, understood. I love this ROM anyway (Apart from the slowlyness compared to my previous TNT), so I'll stick with it

oh crap!

hey man, sorry for your hermes, been using your roms lately, version 16 is the one that works best for me. with previous versions i had this wierd thing happening: while installing programs, my hermes would freeze, requiering a soft reset, after witch, it would go back to default settings, erasing everything. it would happen at random, not with a specific app. anybody knows what the hell is that about?

cheers everyone!
