i am happy to b the 1st to reply.

good work buddy thanks anichillus will feed back after testing :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] miffymiffy:
Rom seems quite fast. No problems with the flashing processs or the loading process. Things i have noticed:

1. Have not changed the first spashscreen.

2. The scrollbars are very small and thin. Hard to use without the stylus.

3. The SDAutorun file does not exist.

4. ComManager tab is blank, see screenshot

5. Battery status top bar is now sitting under the original one. (Fixed after soft reset, also fixes after slide finger down screen(Refresh topbar).)

6. Call history has no close button.

7. in clocks/alarms, unable to close window.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
Hmm, I didn't even noticed that. Hehe. Anyway, this CommManager will be replaced by the new one once it's fixed.

Yes..i wrote that above. This is due to vijaytodayshrink. It will be fixed hopefully. This also works with keyboard slide out.

Anywhere you can't close window with the X, for now you'll have to use the Ok button. Sometimes you have to make another click on the X button and they will close. Also as a bonus bug, probably related, the BatteryStatus TaskList doesn't work. I'll try tomorrow different versions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] miffymiffy:
I have got around this by sliding the keyboard to bring the original topbar back and closing. then using the finger down today screen to bring the BS topbar back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
Yes, but easier to use Ok button ;)

Sweet, I am flashing, and I will report bugs back as I find them.

Cheers!

Issue 1. Voice mail is not configured on the phone as it usually is. It usually pulls that info from the sim and populates the vm field automatically. Workaround put your VM number in manually. =P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Deleted member 804010:
Downloading now - will flash and report accordingly
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] miffymiffy:
Ani, when the original top bar comes up, when i changed the volume, the vibrate icon went away in BS topbar. just so you know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
1. tap on signal in BStopbar...also refreshes the todayscreen...

2. callhistory = USE OK-Button ...known bug from 2G and 3G dialer..needds .dll modding

3. DON`T use scrollabrs - get used to TOUCHFLO!!! jsut slide thumb over screen for up/down :D:D

4. Commanger will be exchanged...and the old one is by defautl missing an tab :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] miffymiffy:
Paps and/or ani,

is there any chance that all of the contact tabs can be directed to iContact. Especially the one in the dialer.

I know that its not a bug or anything that requires fixing, but would make the appeal much nicer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
mhhh. never thought of it.. we´ll discuss
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jerpelea:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:

Hello, very excited about trying this out... any mirrors? its 3am here and I wanted to flash before I went to bed but rapidshare froze at 97% and I cant download for 40 minutes... oh no!

i am having problems loading it up... after it goes through the setup, i get errors that soft keys were not found and sd not found...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kevlar-Source:
Read the thread... Those problems you are pointing out have already been covered...

This is a beta version, the

first

beta, actually.

You cannot expect full functinality and stability without a glitch on ported ROM and a beta version.

Read the Install Notes of the first post and you will see those problems have been reported by the

developer

himself.

Cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
I guess you expect toooo much. I jsut recieved 4 PMs from him regardign problems....

haha

Will see how much will come .....

Thanks for helping others...

Mirror

Do I dare making a mirror to generate more of those :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
thanks..

i allways use www.asapload.com

i will tell anichillus :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I'm experienceing the same problems as everyone else.

Overall I beginning to like this ROM. Its different which is nice..

The MMS app seems to work as I sent and received some MMS's just fine last night. The voice recorder option does not work though. I press record and nothing happens.. Also when creating a MMS if I looking through my videos it does not show a pic of each video like it should. So I have no idea which video Im selecting..

The txt message area is not set to 45 by default. Its still actually 35 when I look at it and change it. I would actually suggest maybe 90 instead of 45 that way you can actually read your entire message if you use all 160 characters.

The custom X button is kinda hard to hit sometimes with my thumb and overall I just get weird clicks on the today screen but that might just take time to get use to.

Oh on the oxios memory app you should use the one that gets rid of the screen that shows up after you run it..Seems pointless. I attached it below in case you want it..You just overwrite the file of course..Just take off the .zip since thats the only way I could upload it.

You should also think about maybe adding HTC Connection Manager for auto connection setup.

Well I can't think of anything else right now but overall looks nice keep up the excellent work..

NOPE!!!! it is my baserom...but your HARD work porting it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
@closeapp.... is it same like oxios but without the screen poping up? right? - BUT i love to see how MUCH ram this has :D

@ Connect wizard. it costs 1,6MB!!! store...jsut to ahve ALL providers worldwide???? that´s too much....for me...so i have a cab from MY personal provider. that´s all.

You can also use a xml to be installed after flashing... there is a thread with ALL xml for all providers. i will find again.

@you - good to hear you are happy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
New commanager as cab...please try...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Yup same app but without the screen popping up.. :-)

Connect wizard -- Good point..agreed

I noticed the today screen sometimes the clock doesnt show up till I hit the screen. That normal?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
Maybe try this instead of networkwizard....

you can set everything with it...

Very nice, Responsive and in my opinion unique!! Like it!

Rom is fast also... This is a keeper.. thanks for the hard work and excellent job!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] live4vball:
I'm loving the new ROM. The today screen is the best I've used. Since it's still in beta, here are a few minor issues I'm seeing at the moment:

1. No camera

2. BatteryStatus/TodayAgenda is showing menu titles in German (i.e. tasks are showing as Aufgabe: Task Name instead of Task: Task Name on the home screen)

I'm seeing some other problems with BatteryStatus and/or TodayAgenda but I'll look into it more before reporting back. Great job on the rom - I'll let you know if I find any more issues or can help with any improvements.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
Just flashed.

(very) Minor cosmetic bug. When Vibrate icon is in the top bar it hides part of the CPU speed (400MHz). But I very much like the look.

Its my first use of any touch interface, so momentarily confused looking for the settings menu.

From there I picked the File Manager by accident and launched the restore of my PIM data from SpriteBackup (with exe built in to the archive). selected restore databases (as I have with all other ROM upgrades).

Got hung on the reboot screen (the "ITsPapa" screen) during one part of the restore, so I poked the reset button.

When I reboot, my Today screen only shows the Calendar days... no appt info is there (restore did not work?), and no date/weather, etc.. no top bar at all.

So I reset again. Same thing.

I go to the settings->Today (using "OK") and most of the Today items have gotten unchecked (my restore was Personal databases only.. which has worked on 15+ other ROM upgrades), so I attempt to pick the correct ones to enable... when I get back to the Today screen I've picked too many so I go back and uncheck some.. but at this point the poor beastie is way confused, so I hit the reset.

But at this point, resets won't allow me to boot any more, so I hard-reset.

That goes well. Go thru customization again. Again, file explorer to the backup.. this time I pick Safe mode + restore databases. The reboot to the restore goes thru, it restores pim.vol and reboots. This goes well too.

And voila.. my calendar data is there this time.

My voicemail and text msg #'s were populated for me (AT&T), but maybe they came from my PIM restore, I dunno.

I went to Schaps Advanced and turned off the GPRS auto attach and Show Wireless icon.

Next after much clicking, I finally figured out how to get to the Today Agenda options (click and hold on a date) and set the relative font size down (the Colors/Font tab is a bit misleading.. no font/size to be selected there).

Trying to learn my way around BatteryStatus and BSWeather (ie. is there any settings/options page for it?).. noticed on the website that there is a newer version of BS

Version:	Version:	1.05.133 build 0316 (June 23)

For BSW is there anyway to force it to do a weather update, and/or to tell it to only update via Activesync internet connection? I changed my weather to english 20 minutes ago (and added a 2nd city), but its still showing metric.

For Top line, when I click on the Wifi icon (activates Wifi) the icon disappears (I expect it was supposed to be more visible?).

Next I started playing with the "3rd Row". If I click on the Phone, then click on the "Red phone/hang up HW button" I get a screen that is whited out except for the 4 phone icons (for missed calls, made calls, etc). The OK button works, and I can launch most other stuff, but I pick the right set of keys (missed calls, the show/hide keypad) before I can get back to a working today screen (or soft reset)

Ok, I guess that is enough for my 1st report.. Will keep playing.

Looks great tho..I have high hopes for it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
2 more questions...

other than "OK (Today menu) -> Contacts", what is the easiest way to get to the contact menu? (ie. to call someone that is not on your quick pick list).

I don't see access to contacts thru the Today touch menu (could be there I am new to touch), nor thru the dialer.

ah.. just found it by accident on Button 5 :) Could it be added to the Dialer?

Next I went to hunt out the fastest way to toggle Vibrate mode. The default Comm Mgr doesn't have it, and press/hold of the Comm button doesnt do this by default. This new Comm Mgr has a button for it.. very nice!

But... when I put in Vibrate, now I have a scroll bar that pops up on the right side of the today screen (the entire length top to bottom) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
WOW...that´s a lot to explain...you are missing some basicly stuff. but enver mind...

try to read the first page here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396036

and then:

@wifi icon.... it only disapears during the search process. IF you have enabled it via topbar AND set a wifi passcode...then it should change....

@ vibrate icon...IT IS supposed to cover the "Mhz" when it is enabled...it is damn enabled after flash EVEN when sound is on. Just switch on/off and it is working

@ topbar. PLEASE look at the HOW2 on my thread.... BUT it changed from tap on signalbar NOW it refreshes screen after sliding out keyboard...

@ BS version - ikarus updates every week nearly...so if you need the newest version...extract cabfile and copy .exe and .dll to the rom :D

@ todayagenda....it is somehow german...sorry...jsut change it in settings :D

@ UL...on cubeside with shortcuts to apps the upper right IS ULsetting

@ UL - IT IS a trial version and needs activating! It only cost 9€ and is worth to buy

@ contacts...even if you DO NOT see teh softkeys...they are still working from hardwarebutton...so just click right button and you get to iCONTACT

OR use softkey applet to change the keys....

@ scrollbar....read carfully how to get rid of it..it is explained on this thread page 1!!! and you can tap on signalbar on BStopbar and it also refreshes...

@ BACKUP...NEVER run a backup (except contacs) on a different rombuild!!! install apps new...

@BSweather.... check here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2248801&postcount=3

@ weather update.... tap on clock = show weather icons - tap on 1st left icon = updating....NOT updating through active sync..just wifi or gprs!

@ signalbar...if you ahve gprs activated it shows a little "G" above signal

@ TOBAR: tap on %= startmenu , tap on 23MB (RAM) = oxios hibernate...etc,etc

@ callhistory...just click OK to get out of it!

OK hope that explains some stuff.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] live4vball:
I just found the todayagenda settings and changed everything around right before you posted. Everything's beautiful now. I've had some glitches with activesync but nothing more than usual. If I just disconnect and reconnect the usb cable it usually works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
Ok, didn't realize that.

As I said it was ONLY pim information, nothing else.

I don't have a data plan so I don't know how I got the update other than via ActiveSync.. but I could not force it to update after that and it would not switch to degF even tho I updated the XML file per the linked post (yes I really did read, and then re-read that post several times)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
The 400MHz is appearing below the vibrate icon because i edited the icon to make it transparent. That's because if you use different theme it will show ugly. That's not a problem since the developer of BatteryStatus doesn't plan to add an overclock for our Hermes, so in next beta the "Show CPU" will be disabled from BatteryStatus.

Also some things don't work on this version of BatteryStatus (TaskList for example. I'll fix that somehow. I know that it worked previously)

I tried allot of programs to disassemble the Call History dll in order to edit it but I failed. It looks that it has been upx-ed or something. I'll see what's to be done in order to fix the issues with it. I really like this dialpad because of the option to save number among other things.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
Finally got an opportunity to flash and try this beautiful rom

Aside from the already identified issues, here is what I have found

1. Without noticing - I activated battery on top row in schaps advanced settings. When I press the battery itself - I get an error stating that the file cannot be opened. Not signed with trusted certificate - or components cannot be found.

2. The new commanager is really nice - but at this point, changing settings causes problems. It does not support 3G at this time. Certain options in advanced settings for commanger do not have icons available - specifically beam and internet sharing.

Wi-fi works well, phone and dialer are error free for me - when using the okay button.

The TCPMP Player is the first version that is either cooked into a rom - or that I install afterwards that works flawlessly, no skipping - no issues what so ever.

My biggest issues - appear to be user related. I am having major issues with home screen, battery status - today agenda - ultimatelauch, etc. Every change requires a soft reset to take effect. The items chosen for the home screen randomly become unchecked from settings, etc.

I need to play with the home screen options more - as I am unfamiliar with these plug ins - and touchflo and its gestures are new to me also.

First impressions are good - backup worked well, calendar and contacts are all available - ppc syncs easily with activsync, etc.

Please let me know if there are any specific options you would like tested, and I will see what I can do

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
So...ActiveSync contacts & stuff synchronization works ?

Darn...then it's as I suspected...my PC or ActiveSync...but I am happy because I don;t have to fix it hehe

I'll also take a look at the problems you mention but tomorrow...now, it's sleep time :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] miffymiffy:
Other than the things i mentioned earlier, i am yet to find any real problems. I like this rom quite a bit. The only thing that i am noticing is that it gets really sluggish after a long period of running, like 14 hours. not a big issue as a soft reset fixes it all. apart from that, only cosmetic issues.

new com manager works well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edward-riko:
the rom is fast and stable (i use 8mb page pool)

small problem with top bar battery link giving error, no camera

communication manager supports 3G (works fine no problems)

i attached few screen shots

thank you for your work

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
DAMN...the dialer should/mst be completely black....case you cannot read a number...and it is ugly lightend!

mhhh. have to fix that :D

white on my roms looks awful.

WHich clock are you using?? is it batterystatus clock??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
The dialer is black. He must of changed something...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edward-riko:
this is the dialer that you get if you uncheck the show 3g dialer in advance configuration tool

the clock is the Pocket Digital Clock 1.1.5

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
taht another shot than 4 posts before..... that´s not fair. hahahaha

btw - you changed the default tab of UL?

i cannot live without my agenda showing on first page :P lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jobrojr:
Herald/Hermes???

This same ROM works for either the Herald OR the Hermes??

I have been looking at your work in the Herald forum and I like very much!!! :D

Am I able to run other Herald ROMs on my 8525?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] neva dinova:
no you cant use other herald roms please dont try it. the one works because anchillius ported it to work for the hermes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
It's that it ? Any other bugs ?

Don't make me happy guys :P

I was kidding with the ban thing lol.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pro838user:
Any plans on coming out with a 3G dialer for this ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Other than whats been posted, I didn't notice anything else!! Great rom and a in my opinion fast base!! Nice job!:eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Changed mine up a bit. I really had no idea what you could do with batterystatus. I had to remove the top bar since the taskmanager and x aren't working all the time. The weather wasn't big enough for me so I removed it from battery status and moved it into its own panel..

Really well done thanks..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papamopps:
and if x-button will work again. you have to get known to BS topbar..it can make so much more thatn default one :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zim2dive:
I haven't used the TouchFlo and HTC home enough to get a good feel for them... (same for Battery Status)

- can you put the weather on a "panel"(?) that is in the rotation with Today Agenda (as an example)

- I found HTC Home customizer, and it lets you change some things, but my goodness, isn't there any way to reduce the overall footprint of HTC Home.. ie. to half its height? Its a monster on the today screen... and/or can you move the Today Agenda up so its "Line 3" (or a possible "line 4"), weather and appts are the 2 things I care to see most on my Today screen.

- I keep seeing "UL", but haven't figured out what that stands for yet?
