Creating a re-cabbed PI package sound not that bad, but will be also a big task and one months later many of those programs could be out dated. So IMO waisted time. It would be the best when the Authors of those original application pre-UPXe the exe files for the cabs. Like some developers already did. But I think this would be only a dream.

And finally there is no pre build Opera at the KisS rom and I hope there will never be one. But my proposal was for the OEM/Windows folder part of the KisS rom. I don't know if it is possible to pre shrink those executable files like Pocket Word, Exel and so on, but if so, it would be a good benefit, not only for more free program space after first flash. The load time is also much faster. And for sure, start time of the application has not same factor boost as the benefit you got for the free space. But the start time is definitely faster than without UPX optimization. For sure!!!

Exceptionally of the really slow read speed of the KS20 Flash memory and also from SD/SDHC cards (bottleneck, slow bridge chip).

This is just a proposal to make feature KisS Rom at least a bit better as they already are. And I will still go on to compress all my exe by my self, in feature. That's also for sure. ;)

BTW I have another question because of the very slow read speed of the KS20 flash memory. You may all notice that each time the phone wakes up from standby, the icon cache is flushed. This looks really ugly when using UIs like Mobile Shell, because all icons must be cached again. Is there any hack or workaround available, like one large icon cache file on flash memory instead of putting them only to ram cache? Or maybe a reg tweak, I'm missing right now?

Hi everyone!

After breaking my KS20 screen twice, I finally got it back from repairs!

But, now I have some trouble with KisS20.5a...

My phone randomly reboots itself usually four or five time a day... I wouldn't mind if this was the only trouble.

If it reboots 3 times, 2 of them will be "no service" start... In order to solve that matter, I have to remove the battery and the SIM card, then put it back. Kind of a hssle if you ask me ^^

I'm a french user, using an SFR Illimythics bill. Can somebody help me? To me, it looks like a badly unbranded NV2, but I might be wrong, so I ask for your advices.

Thanks.

hi

my phone was weeks ago in service. after new motherboard they install fresh software on it. but now i cant turn bluetooth anymore on. it gives me error:

the bluetooth radio failed to turn on due to insuffcient driver memory available. you must perform a normal reset before you can turn on the bluetooth radio.

it bluetooth works after hard reset. if i install spb wireless monitor it wont work anymore. but before service it was working on my phone. same soft.

how to get it work? i need to use bluetooth.

@holy_moly : I already UPXed a few programs in KisS20.5 (the largest dll/exe in oemmisc). I stopped when a UPXed dll prevented a stock functionnality from working (don't remember which one). I didn't look at bluetooth stack but if you send me the list of files you could compress without breaking anything, I might compress them too. As for stock WM programs (pocket word, excel...), for now I prefer letting them unmodified.

@bussekas : could you tell us how much free memory you have after installing spb wireless monitor ?

@Wonderkik : never had this behaviour before. It could help if you download rom / unbrand nv / flash again (as we don't know which one is the culprit).

Hello, any news for new rom?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holy_moly:
I noticed also much more problems when compressing DLLs as when you just compress exe. SO I also stoped compressing DLLs.

These are the 13 Bluetooth exe i'ved compressed successfully!

Before compressing needed space of 1,2 MB, after compressing 0,44 MB and faster start time as well.

The List:

BTBusinessCard.exe

BTCePimCmdApp.exe

BTConnManagerCE.exe

BTCplCE.exe

BTFileExplorer.exe

BTFM.exe

BtHidPlugIn.exe

BtIconNotifier.exe

BTInvoke.exe

BTPanManagerCE.exe

BTSyncPlugIn.exe

BTTrayCE.exe (befor U replace this one, you have to kill the task / restart or softreset to load again )

BTWizardCE.exe

I'ved test with the following BT funktions from Widcomm 1.8.7 Build 1700 Stack (KisS20.5a)

BTFM Radio, BT Setting & Manager, BT Headset (A2DP & AVRCP), BT GPS Dongle and finnally ActiveSync wia PC.

No Problem at all. But more free space and faster start time of all BT applications.

IMPORTANT!

I have also another question related to the OpenGL drivers in your 20.5a Firmware! Are these drivers (libgles_cm.dll) are the original LG ones (software rendering only)?

And why you put them to the ROM part of the firmware?

Because of that it's impossible to test other drivers like NeoS2007 offers for the MSM720X Chipset, to get a better 3D with hardware acceleration for our KS20!

The open OpenVG part of these drivers work awesome on our KS20 and they are absolutely necessary to get Opera 9.7 working. But without replacing the libgles_cm.dll all 3D functions are gone. Check this thread for more details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534297
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Thanks for the exe list, I'll upx them in next rom.

Here are the facts (for everybody to understand) :

- Libgles_cm.dll in Kiss20 roms is taken from lg stock rom.

- I've put it in rom part of the firmware because it's meant to be here

- You can perfectly overwrite libgles_cm.dll that is in the rom. Just put the file in windows folder and reboot. I did it many times before.

- ks20 has 3d hardware acceleration. It's for this reason that htcclassaction drivers are based on ks20 drivers.

- OpenVG works only in conjuction with specific libgles_cm.dll.

- Libgles_cm.dll available in Neo drivers do not support ks20's chipset. Neither do they support polaris's (which is the same : msm7200 and not 7201). Neo is actively looking for a version that supports our chipset, but for now, nobody's found one.

- Moreover, I don't see how it could work as neo's driver's libgles_cm.dll has some unresolved import (it requires ahi2dati.dll to export srmreinitaxi2, gles_imem_alloc, gles_smi_alloc, gles_smi_free... not present on ks20.)

As for why opera 9.7 works only with neo's drivers, I don't have a clue, but I think it's a side effect and has nothing to do with openvg really working on ks20 (did you check registry entries ?). Or maybe it tries to use hardware acceleration and assumes that something is available, but it's not. Then, as using neo's drivers breaks hardware acceleration, opera falls back to software renderer.

@ spocky

Now I got!

Thanks for this very informative facts!

Helps me a lot to look around and for finding a better dll that, also supports the 7200 (non A or .1,.5) Qualcomm chip.

Just one "question" about DLL stored in rom part of the firmware I askin myself loudly.

When I replace the DLL whit another one and reboot, the new one will be active.

And when I delet this DLL again and reboot, windows will use that one stored in ROM part! Right? (I think so ;) )

But here are some other informations, you may not know already, to enhance your KisS ROM feature releases. Because of the Widcomm BT Stack the audio quallity when using A2DP is very poor. This is why there are some missing REG values.

Check this post for more information and the solution!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4623703&postcount=296

Maybe you add them as default to your next KisS release!?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Thanks for the Bt info, I'll add it too.

As for your question about dll, see the rom and the program storage as 2 different disks. A rom, is by definition read-only (well, at least, in most cases), you can only change it by flashing a new one. When you copy a dll in windows folder, you're writing to program storage. What it does is only shadowing the file present in the rom. Nothing is overwritten. So removing the file from program storage let the rom one appear again.

There's only one drawback to test (video) drivers : as you're writing you new video driver to program storage, even if windows asks you whether you want to overwrite it or not, it doesn't do it really so the operation is permitted. Problem is : when you want to remove you new test driver, there are chances that Windows won't let you do it due to the fact that the file is in use (true for ahi2dati as it's used to display everything, but false for libgles_cm, only loaded when opengl software is loaded). In that case, the only solution I know to fall back to stock rom file is to do a hard reset.

I hope I've made myself clear :)

I have an issue with setting mp3 files as ringtones. It used to work for couple of weeks after upgrading to Kiss 20.5a and suddenly stopped. I see mp3 files on list in Notifications and sounds but when pressing play button nothing happens. I can only play waves. When trying in explorer to double click mp3 files it says that no application is set to play this kind of file. But when going to Windows mobile player and opening from there it works fine.

Does anyone had such issue with this firmware? I have currently just SPB Mobile shell installed (3.5, previously 3 but issue under both).

Probably hard reset would solve the issue but I wish to try other faster way if there is any.

Thanks in advance for any help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holy_moly:
Sounds like you installed some kind of audio software that take away the mp3 file association away from windows media player, to a different audio application!?

To use a mp3 files as a ring tone, mp3 files must associate to windows media player.

Here you can download a tool (PocketTweak) to fix the mp3 file association back to windows mediaplayer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marclon:
Thanks for link. I've restored association with TotalCommander in the meantime. But even when double click caused opening by WMP it still didn't work for ringtones settings. I finished up with HR and now it's fine. But not sure about root cause. I do not use any MP3 player, never installed any kind on phone.

You are not in HTC world, you can't split radio firmware and rom part. So you have to flash back to a previous release like .4 with old gsm driver.

BT Mac Adresse - 2 different ones 00:05:C9:00:00:00 and 00:1E:75:xx:yy:zz

Maybe you noticed already - on the 20.5a (not on 20.X or 20.4) the FIRST use of the BT after reboot will use the BT Adapter with MAC Address 00:05:C9:00:00:00 and after disable/enable it will use the "normal one" for me it is 00:1E:75:xx:yy:zz (German Vodafone branded devices) until rebooted.

xx.yy.zz is unique per device - and should come from the nv2, but I have no clue where it is stored. The primitive Hex-search on the nv2 file did not reveal anything.

I noticed that a Hard-Reset will not initiate the LG-Customisation on 20.5a, while it does on 20.4 and 20.X - so possibly something is missing?

Can I start this initial application myself somehow?
