"SEND" key has no tone

Hiya....just reflashed my phone to Ricky's v24 yesterday and I gotta say it's working great...I even have wifi back...anyways...my problem is that the "send" button doesn't have a tone anymore...might not be a big deal but I kinda like the beep it makes when I make a call...also I'm aware when I might accidentally press it when it's on my hip...I looked at the profiles, edited it, but the best I could get was the "click" tone which gets kinda irritating after a while since it applies to every button press and also to scrolling...the "sounds" setting was no help either...anybody else got this problem or is it just an isolated thing...mainly, me...oh yeah...how did it get solved?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:

i searched and found my answer. Thanks for the help with Opera.
[HTC Excalibur] itschrisb:

Loaded up the ROM and everything is great with except Voice Command no longer activates when I hold down the Home Key...

When I go into Voice Command to set the key my choices are Record App1-App6 (I've tried setting it to various choices and have yet to figure out what key's Record/App1/App2/etc are).

Anyone tell me how to map it back to holding Home or at least what keys Record App1-App6 are?

Thanks,

Shay

Data drops in v.24

Hi, I installed v.24 two days ago and everything works fine except that my data connection will drop for no reason. I have to use the connection manager to restore the t-mobile settings in order for it to work again. It happened at least 3 times yesterday. The only way I notice it is if I have to browse or check mail, so I don't know exactly when it drops. After restoring with the connection manager, it brings back the original entries in the proxy. I won't get timeouts when trying to browse, but I can't get to a page again until I delete them and leave the proxy entries for the $5.99 hack.

-Sorry.......user error on setting up proxy and mail. Everything works great!!!!

I just flashed my T-Mobile Dash with this rom. The flash went without a hiccup. Then after the reboot it FROZE.

Do you have the 19.99 plan or the 5.99 plan?
[HTC Excalibur] ruinertt:
ricky - I'm not sure if this has been covered or not, but your Vanilla ROM v24 is missing the home_setup.cpl.xml file. When you try to do "Change Theme" on the panel, it errors out. I found the file in one of your previously old threads, but that was the only way to get this to work.

[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
Sorry if this has been asked already, but I didn't see it. Anyway, it seems that Opera Mini has two separate keyboard layouts. When I type in an address (e.g. - costco.com), the letters are incorrect (e.g. - c is a t). However, when I go to type in a search at Google or Yahoo, the letters are all correct. I can type "costco" without any problem. I don't know why the same program would have two different keyboard layouts, but it is very frustrating to say the least. Does anyone know what I can do or what might be the cause of this problem? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] nyijedi:
I'm sorry, but I've been searching the forums for these "settings" and I just can't seem to find them. Can someone PLEASE help me out and post them here? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post your settings - I know that's not the quickest thing to do. I put all of the settings in and I'm still getting an "Error Synchronizing" message, but I'm hoping that maybe I have to let the settings sync up w/ T-Mobile. I'm going to leave them in for a day or so and see what happens. Thanks again.

Opera Mini Adress Input fix

Simple Fix:

In Opera Mini

Click Menu > Tools > Settings

Then uncheck Auto-complete address input.

Good Luck
[HTC Excalibur] bloodbath:
Thanks a million. I didn't see "Auto-complete address input", but I did see "Direct address input". Not sure if it's the same (I figured it was), but it worked for me. Thanks again.

Question with 6.1 Photo Slider?

Hello , I have Rickys version of win6.1 and everything is great I've customized it with configurator, but there is one thing I can't seem to figure out.

On my Home screen where when you go to the photo slider its blank because I store all my pictures on my SD is there a way to make it by default view the ones on my SDCard? I've looked all over but cant figure anything out.

And also one more thing with the tegic t9 fix everything is great but 2 buttons dont work probably and its the ; and : buttons when trying to send a text even if I hold it down it just gives me the standard , & . is there any fix for this?

Thank you.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
For photos, try storage card\pictures. It won't read from anywhere else. I remember someone had posted a small app that would auto move your pictures to that folder since that isn't where they are normally stored.
[HTC Excalibur] Mkris87:
Hey that worked! thanks,
[HTC Excalibur] SportingChap:
I've come across this problem myself with Kavana's rom. I asked about it in that sticky thread but haven't received a response yet.

I had the same question about the picture slider. Thanks for the answer, showaco! Now I'm going to search for that auto picture mover...

Opera Mini + Rickys 6.1 Problem.

Hello , I just recently switched to rickys rom and everything is great everything works perfectly but I downloaded the one with opera mini and for some reason when I run it It's in really crazy cursive font and I've tried reinstalling it and checking the extras where you can change stuff but nothing works. and I can barely read the font. Anyone have any idea? Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] N6546R:
It's a system font issue (you're seeing the Scriptina font in OM). A quick search in the forum should yield a few threads on changing fonts.

Error Synchronizing

In case it helps, I had a problem with Error Synchronizing for MMS. It appeared after I tried to configure email to pull directly from the server. To fix it, I removed the email account and cleared out all the values I had added to the Outlook E-Mail account. It appears that if synchronizing email fails, it does not proceed to sync MMS.
[HTC Excalibur] turnerxce:
1)Backup your stuff.

2)Run auto.bat

3)Follow on-screen directions.

It really couldn't be easier.

Just want to say thanks to Rickwatt and Kavana. Ricky's Opera package is excellent. All the stuff I need with none of the crap I don't. Thanks again.
[HTC Excalibur] tlunsf:
Ok, my "error synchronizing" mms is back. Anybody else still have this problem?

[HTC Excalibur] sabeRz:
I haven't updated my rom since v15 of ricky's rom. Is it worth it now to upgrade to v24?

Are there any monumental or fundamental changes to the rom since then? (i.e. performance boosts, essential features)

and is configuring CHome panels any easier in the newer version? Last time I remember, I had to go and edit registry and use some clunky tool to customize myapps and the other panels.
[HTC Excalibur] tlunsf:
T-Mobile fixed my problem. I called and let them know that I had upgraded my Dash's ROM and that MMS had worked initially but then it stopped working. They told me that the "error synchronizing" message is only for email and not for MMS. I was also told that send/receive is only for email, and that I cannot send/receive manually for MMS.

Do any of you know how much of this is true?

Back to the fix. She (the tech rep) had me turn off the phone and remove the battery while she pushed some data to the network. A couple minutes later I turned on the phone. Maybe 10 minutes later, things started working again.

FYI, I was never asked what version of Windows Mobile I was running.

[HTC Excalibur] itschrisb:
my mms messages dont work. Whenever i get them, it tells me that the message cannot be downloaded or something like that. Anyone have any suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] CareBearKiller:
Sounds like this is some great work.

My question is, what's the big difference(s) between the Vanilla and non-vanilla flavors of this ROM?
[HTC Excalibur] uwonsum:
Vanilla usually means you are getting the pure release without patches or extras. I personally like the chocolate version. :)
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
I know that with Kavana's ROM there's a Connection Setup application that needs to be run. Usually in Start>Accessories.

Sim Contacts and weird text messages

Hey I love Ricky's Rom however I have a few minor problems. 1 I keep getting weird messages that say WVCI 1.1 111 since i installed the rom. 2 I can't seem to figure out how to hide my sim contacts so only my phone contacts will show. Can anyone help me???:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] impulze87:
How to flash the rom

Hey I just wanted to help people who are having trouble with setting ricky's rom up. It took me awhile too but I eventually figured it out.

1. Save your contacts to your sim card and write down important stuff on a notepad that will get deleted.

2. Take out your storage card and sim card (just for safety)

3. Download SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab and SDAApplicationUnlock.zip. (search for these file in the search section of he forum.

4. Download one of Ricky's Roms

5. Copy SurrealNetworkAppUnlock.cab to your phone under my documents and install it.

6. Run the SDAApplicationUnlock.zip and unzip the SDAApplicationUnlock.exe then run that.

7. That will unlock your phone.

8. Finally Unzip Ricky's Rom and run auto.bat

9. Follow the directions exactly on your phone and on your computer.

10. That should do the trick.

This worked for me and i'm running Ricky's rom fine. I can't guarantee it works for you but you can try.
[HTC Excalibur] CareBearKiller:
Groovy, thanks for the info.

Glad I downloaded the non-vanilla version then. :) This is a pretty good quality ROM. :)
[HTC Excalibur] longhorns2422:

[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
this might a dumb question but im going to ask it....

Did you UNZIP the zip file and run auto.bat from inside the FOLDER??
[HTC Excalibur] longhorns2422:
yeah, am i not supposed to haha, i hope this is not a dumb question cuz i feel retarded now lol
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
yes you are suppose to. Thats the only time i see that error "'cecopy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file."

hhhmmmmmmm

You did run auto.bat from your desktop??
[HTC Excalibur] longhorns2422:
no i double clicked it right out of winzip
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
UNZIP IT...i thought you did.
[HTC Excalibur] longhorns2422:
no i did, im running auto.bat and thats what it says...1. that cecopy is not an actualy command and 2. that ruu is nonexistent, when clearly its right in front of me

You are confusing the hell out me....im going for a beer.
[HTC Excalibur] longhorns2422:
haha, im sorry man i don't mean trouble, just trying to figure out what's wrong thats all lol, if anyone else has any idea, or even a clue as to whats going on id love it if you could help me out
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Try this, delete the extracted folder, then reopen zipped folder and unzip it. Close winzip, go to the extracted folder and run it again.
[HTC Excalibur] longhorns2422:
i figured it out, i tried it once but my screen went to the blue green red screen and froze..i popped out the battery and usb and am trying again, fingers crossed..only thing is after the step where it asks to run spl, my screen does not turn white..is that a problem?
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
i followed all your instructions and i got error 270, my keyboard doesnt work, i cant send an sms or mms, my intertubez dont work (and the font in opera is whacked out) and my phone locks up now that i overclocked it to 2.8 jiggawatts. can you break it down like a fraction for me? step by step? better yet, will you hold my hand in this time of need?:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
2.8 jiggawatts? I've been running overclocked at 6.1 jiggawatts for months now and never locked up once. Oh wait, that was wm 6.1, my bad.

Good one gixxum, thats funny **** there, lol:D you had me lmao at that one.

By the way, is it possible to install this on a Samsung Blackjack?
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
only with a hammer.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
What size hammer would that be? like a claw hammer or something like a 12 lb sledge hammer? If I use the small hammer, will I get the white screen or will I get a black screen like with the sledge hammer? Sorry for all the questions, I really don't want to mess up my phone. By the way, the temp is 95 here right now, will that make a difference also?

WiFi issue

I just flashed this rom (Vanilla) and my wifi disappears. I think it might be a glitch because set my router as hidden. I dunno. Never bothered to reconfigure my router. If no one else has their wifi disappearing then I am just going to assume that its how i setup my network.
[HTC Excalibur] sangwich:
One more issue. is anyone having trouble creating a new document with word mobile??
[HTC Excalibur] CareBearKiller:
Most likely your network SSID is not transmitted. When you flash the phone, its like doing a reformat and reinstall of windows on your PC... only the mobile version is MUCH faster. :rolleyes: Regardless, you lose your settings, hence why your wireless network disappeared.

If you're not sure how to get in to your router, PM and I'll see if I can walk you through it. Unless I'm mistaken though, if you know the name of your network, you should be able to plug in all the settings and be good to go.

T9 acting up on Kavana's ROM

Hi all,

The number keys are showing up as if they are in T9 mode - for example 2 is the "a,b,c,2" on each key press when it should be an 'e'. I have tried disabling eT9 by using ALT space but ALT doesn't seem to be behaving as it should as no menu pops up nor do symbols on other keys when used with ALT. I don't mind T9, I just would like to have my regular keys available on the numbers keys. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Clock Freezing

Has anyone encountering clock freezing up on 6.1 v 24? I have to re boot my dash to restore the clock.
[HTC Excalibur] probaction:
Love the rom, having a few issues....any ideas?

First off I gotta say that after using my Dash since the day they came out in Oct 2006, and loving it, that this Rom has brought new life to my phone, its way better than its ever been.

I've been using the Rickywatts v24 rom for about 2 weeks now. I am very technologically savvy, so after trying my damndest for the past 2 weeks I have some issues I need help with. 2 of them are as follows:

1. The phone constantly says I have one unread message in my MMS inbox. I however do not. I can't use any 'reminder' programs for missed calls or messages, cuz they will just go off every couple of minutes since they think I have an unread message. I assume there is something I can do in the registry, but need help with that. how do i get rid of this nonexistant item it thinks is in my inbox?

2. With the original tmobile rom, i had the phone set with a simple numeric 4 digit code to unlock the phone. it was set to automatically ask for the password if left unused for 30 minutes. I could hold the 'end' button, lock the phone, and then to unlock it, just press the left soft key for 'unlock' and then the 'star' key. no password necessary, unless it had been 30 minutes since i last touched the phone. Now however, with the same settings, every time i lock the phone i have to enter the password to unlock it, even if its 1 second later. im getting used to it, but its kind of a pain. I'd much rather it be the other way. Any thoughts on how to change that?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Question for the pros out there---

I'd like to start WM6's VOIP capabilities. I managed to find the WM6 voip CAB file and got it working with the "default windows" homescreen, but haven't been able to get it working with the sliding panel homescreen.

I believe this is the necessary portion of XML to add to the homescreen:

<plugin clsid="{25997777-A9C7-4a44-AEA6-BE5EB0D97B81}" name="voip" height="25">

−

<background>

<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>

</background>

−

<label>

−

<text singleline="true">

<voip/>

</text>

</label>

</plugin>

That said, I'm not really sure where it goes or how to do it. Can anyone lend a helping hand?

Also, I'd like to suggest that if there's ever another version of the ROM made by Ricky, that WM6 VOIP is included as an option, and possibly included as a line in Configurator.

Thanks all!
[HTC Excalibur] anewbie:
To rom, or not to rom, that is the question

Hi Everyone,

A few newbie's question:

I am trying to decide whether to load the vanilla rom or the full Ricky's rom. So here are the questions that would help me make the decision:

1. I presume the vanilla "rom" would be stored and run from the rom. After that, when I load new software, will the added package be installed into the rom or ram?

2. If I load full Ricky's rom, for example, it's got MS OfficeMobile packed in the rom. Let's say MS come out with a new version of the office software, do I install on top of the MS OfficeMobile in the rom, or would the new version take up separate space and disable the old version, or how does it work?

3. Is there a place where I can find ALL Ricky's addition to the vanilla rom so that I can pick and choose which ones I'd like to add to my device?

I did a quick search and didn't see any of these topics come up. I'd appreciate any pointers.

Thanks very much!

Mickey,

I just upgraded to Ricky's V24 on my Dash. Everything is working great, but I am unable to pair my Jabra BT125 bluetooth headset. My Dash sees the headset and asks for the pairing code. When I enter the code (0000), it says unable to connect or incorrect passcode. This is a very simple passcode and I have tried several times and I did install the eT9 keymapping. If I leave the passcode out, it acts like it paired, but the headset does not work. Do you have any ideas on what the problem may be?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
when you enter the zeros are you holding down the 'Alt' key?
