Hello Tomal! I will try out your new v8.2 rom later today. I will test this the next couple of days for my companies use. If I am 100% completely satisfied I will make another contribution. If I make another contribution do you want this directly to your email account or geoff@boltconnect.co.uk towards the "Tomal's HTC Univerisal Fund"?

Dear Tomal users

In the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=419644

So, let´s help the chef that cooks the roms we are using or used

Please contribute!

Cheers to all

USB to PC

could someone please post a link or cab of the USB to PC utility found in this ROM. (The ultility that makes your PPC conect to Windows as a mass storage device). Also the Adobe LE. Cant seem to find it elsewhere.

Could anyone please explain to me what a "vanilla" ROM is? I understand full and lite but what does vanilla mean? Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Vanilla means it has a bare minimum and only a basic ROM installed. You then install whatever you want in terms of programs yourself, they don't come with the ROM. That way you get only what you need without any "fluff" you will possibly never use.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dosada:
Thanks for that, u have learned something :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] spidernz:
Hey enigma1nz where can I get a copy of that CAB with the NZ Vodafone settings?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Here it is for you. I keep it on SD just in case, seeing the number of devices and ROMs I go through. That way I never depend on connection wizards and getting all set up is a matter of seconds.

Midi problem

Hi,

with 8.2 regular, if I try to play one midi file, windows media and tcpmp respectively says:

No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection.

and:

unknow format

Usually windows media on ppc play well midi files.

Anyone have one codec for midi files?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for the excellent ROM Tomal! I've reflashed my uni and now already weeks operation without significant problem. Good job!

I've noticed when using wmTorrent/wmDownload (www.adisasta.com) the memory was drained very quickly.

Is this a problem of software (memory leak) or windows mobile poor memory management? any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] akcarash:
Hi,

This is a regular problem with all torrent downloaders,

they sometimes in some OS take a plenty of RAM to work...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] akcarash:
This ROM works great....

Thanks a lot Tomal

I want to notice something for users who want to have "Arabic" or "Farsi" language on this ROM.

Imaginet has some files which you can ( and may be you could) use to make this ROM good for yourself, I have tried them on this ROM

and I had great problems (not with ROM but with files). There are three general CAB files to do this and they are

1. Default_AAACERTOEM_arabizer.CAB

2. Default_ACERT2OEM_arabizer.CAB

3. Default_ADO_arabizer.CAB

Installing the third one will do nothing at all in this ROM, installing the first one will lock all your hard buttons including the keyboard, and installing the second one will do the work for you. So you need only to use the second one.

At last I may say if anyone wants these files, I can upload or email them...

Thanks Tomal, this one is fast and stable
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
just rename the .mid files to .midi
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] akcarash:
Hi

1. Install cradle alarm on your device ( I use flash disk). It does not work properly when installed on storage card.

2. If you have installed a player type program (like music bundle or ...) go to their file association category and be sure that at least mp3 files is not selected (I recommend to dis-select all extensions).

3. Notice that after installing cradle alarm it wants to have soft reset for bug fixing. First register your program with your key and then let it have a soft reset.

Do these steps and you will have cradle alarm on this great ROM

Have fun!!!

What's the difference between Regular and Vanilla?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] arnisv:
2 pages back

Vanilla means it has a bare minimum and only a basic ROM installed. You then install whatever you want in terms of programs yourself, they don't come with the ROM. That way you get only what you need without any "fluff" you will possibly never use.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cyberz:
Hi,

thanks Tomal, now midi working. But this beahvior is unusual. An application should open a file based on it's content, better it's "magic number" or it's ascii string on ms-dos/windows, not on it's extension. However, with .midi work.

I don't know why, but phoneycall, small utility for fake call, doesn't work on this rom. It doesn't start. With previous rom it always worked well.

Tomal's v8.2

I flashed v8.2 from v8.0 on my "Qtek 9000" yesterday and also installed all my 3rd party software. At this time everything is running perfectly. Still testing all the other features if working properly. I will post another post once I am totally done testing everything out.

Hi,

please can you try to install phoneycall and report me if work? Or anyone can try?

You can find it here:

http://www.aimproductions.be/titleview.php?title=PhoneyCall

excuse me, this is not reclame!

However, i have re-flashed my device with pdaviet rom now. With this phoneycall work.

And I have observed which file transfer from pc to storage card, with universal attached trough usb, is little more fast with this pdaviet rom. The install of application and copy files to storage card is little more fast too.

A part from this yes, Tomal 8.2 seem a fast and stable rom. I have used it for aprox. two days without random reset.

I don't know why and I thanks all for your hard work. I only test a lot of rom!

I've just flashed the new v8.2.

Lately I'm having problems with ROM update.

Several incomplete updates and had for the 2nd time to use mtty to recover the device ( well, at least i got ext rom back, lol).

I also took the opportunity to flash radio 1.15 and I think reception is a little better.

After and initial HR, device is working OK.

Tomal, once again, thx for the new release.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sl9:
One thing to note about Tomal's ROMs, they seem to be built for real fast speed, that is why the CPU is overclocked to 624Mhz by default and some of the power saving options are disabled in Schap's advanced config.

If you reverse all the above, you will notice performance goes down a lot but battery life increases a lot too, I guess it is down to personal choice :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sl9:
So does anyone have any issues to report with this ROM? I've been using it for 2 days now, and apart from the Calculator skin issue and Windows Live Messenger not working properly, everything else is perfect for me so far :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
I have a lovely gCalc installed, if you are interested. Or... Diamond Black (will upload white, if needed, but find it not as nice as black)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
=> I actually removed the Calc skin as couple of members reported earlier it's not as eye candy.

=> enigma1nz has reported @ post 386 that the Windows Live is working. You may try installing that release of WLM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Yes, the Windows Live issue was resolved by installing an additional CAB over the original, somehow it worked, well, at least it works until the proper solution is found. I left a PM for sl9, will post extra CAB if anyone else needs it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tailazoom:
Last line in BOOT.RGU is truncated and gives error on encoding.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Finally, I got a working CAB

for Windows Live, but for some reason can't upload, get error. Will try later.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] no1:
Is anyone else seeing constant CPU usage with this ROM? When I open the Task Manager app and then Menu > View > Processes, filesys.exe just sits there using 95-99% of the CPU.

Not sure if it's something I've installed - is anyone else seeing anything similar?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sl9:
Open "Advanced Config" in Settings, and go to the "Power Management" section. Do you have "SD Memory power management" set to Enabled or Disabled?

I had set mine to Enabled, but experienced severe CPU usage issues whenever my Uni came out of standby mode, so that setting must be set to Disabled at all times (as it is by default). All the other power management options can be enabled without problems, except that I think it makes the device a bit slower. But I can live with that if it increases battery life :)

Edit: Could someone please post

both

of the versions of messenger, as I have deleted the one that came with the ROM :( If you have problems attaching it to a message on here, you can upload it to some place like http://www.sharebee.com/ (which is very easy) and post the link here. Many thanks :)

I'm having some problems

first of all, it's gr8 we got Tomal a new UNI. this community is the best.

i am having some problems with v8.2/v8.0:

two progs won't start: pocket heroes and spacetime 3.

also i'm getting a "sim card full" error, i can't get to the sms stored on my sim. is there any solution/prog, please. :rolleyes:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] billyJAM:
I've got the same issue. Even reflashed, hard reset, enabled/disabled all those power saving and cache settings, no luck. That didn't bother me so much as the load cursor. It would just flash every few seconds and cause an insufferable lag. It was fine after a hard reset or restoring an SPB Backup, but as soon I'm done syncing with outlook, it starts to show lag. I had to give up and move on to rDosti's ROM. I dearly miss Tomal ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Ok, tried again to load CABS for Windows Live

a proper CAB has been loaded, so I amended my post
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
I don't have that problem at all, had been running the ROM since it was posted (well, apart from a short burst of temporary insanity when I flashed some other ROM describing which will possibly get me banned - what a bloody disaster that was). But had cursor flashing when Windows Live attempted to connect and synchronize, but couldn't. Could be caused by some program not installed correctly and attempting to load. :confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sl9:
I have this exact problem :( Sometimes after booting the load cursor flashing on screen every few seconds, and it really slows things down. Even if it doesn't happen after boot, it does as soon as the device is suspended and comes out of suspend.

What plugins do you have on your today screen? I have SPB Pocket Plus, SPB Phone Suite, SPB Weather, SPB Diary, SPB Backup and SPB Time.

It didn't happen with Tomal's 8.0, but then I didn't have SPB Time, SPB Weather and SPB Diary installed. Perhaps it is one of those 3 applications causing the problem?

Edit: I can now reproduce this every time, it never happens after a soft reset if the SD card has been removed, but as soon as the SD card is put back in then it starts to happen, and stays that way until next soft-reset - even if SD card is removed again :( I have tried changing SD drivers to the SDHC driers, and that does not make any difference. Am going to try removing SPB apps next.

Just flashed ver 8.2 for few hours. When I restore SMS by PIM Backup, the threading appear inproperly (in each thread just appear my sent sms with some old received ones) so I have to switch to standard mode. When I try to run Mdict 2.5, the screen goes white and I have to soft reset the device to bring it to work again. Will test more! Anyway, thanks Tomal for great effort for Uni community.

Reporting

Hi

I am going to report what I have encountered, using this great ROM...

1. Try not to play with the brightness maximum value in wktask application. This is a case sensitive problem, it does not happen always but sometimes it does. When the problem arouse the volume will be frozen to null and camera will not work. Someone else in this thread has reported the camera problem...

2. All my today screen applications work fine, fast, and stable. I have attached an image showing my today screen.

3. This ROM unlike the 7.x ROMs has problems with languages other than english but the problem is not a hard one to solve.Use your CAB files from the extended rom. There is always a file that is for configuring your keyboard for your region which you have bought the exec. Do not move it from the extended rom or try to install it manually. I have installed Farsi keyboard using this method. The image is attached...

4. I am using 4GB SDHC kingstone without any problem or speed problem. The hdd emulator also works great.

5. There is something with battery problem I must say. All you say about changing setting is right but there is a problem with the battery calibration too. Let your exec turn off once after you flash this rom and then charge it to 100%. This will fix its de-charging speed.

6. At last I will advise a very good calculator, "Hicalc". That is agreat one for engineers. Image with black skin is attached.

Thanks for making me live with my UNI, again...

can I install in my italian device?

hi,

I want to upgrade my Jasjar but I think my keyboard have some key different from the english version, so I suppose with this ROM I tap a key and the screen shows different character....

My question because this problem was posted for a Tilt AT&T (english version) with italian ROM...

thanks for the help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] akcarash:
Hi,

Just try to install your regional configuration CAB files, something with the name "Default_Imate_PPC_JJ_...", "Default_PP_CDL-ME_all-Settings...", and "Default_Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE_...".

In the fields "...", you will have names characterized for your region.

These files are in your extended rom and beside them there are some other files which are dedicated to make your exec and its keyboard appropriate for Italic.

After reflashing, if these files do not install themselves, go under "storage" name with "totalcomander" and install them manually. After installing all of them do a soft reset.

This helped me to have my language on this ROM, hope it works on yours...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dutschke:
You can use the "Advanced Config" (Settings): At menu "Input" you can change the keyboard-language.

Hi ppl,

how much time does it take for the vanilla rom to install? Its been going for more then 10 mins now, and a few mins ago an error popped up and I followed the recovery wizard but now it seems "stuck" on the checking the info on device screen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rbalu72:
Most of the ROMs do not take more than 15-20 mins to finish flashing. As you have already seen error message, remove it and try reflashing (i presume you must be seeing the boot loader with 'serial' on top and 'some number x.xx' at the bottom). If you see 'Serial' changing to 'USB' when connected to PC, just go ahead and reflash and you should get the new ROM flashed correctly. Hope the battery is at 100% as it is important that it is fully charged.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] georgevella:
yes i can see the usb screen, i disconnected and retried the reload. Just a taught, tho, does it matter if I am updating from a previously modifed firmware, since I am trying to install the Vanilla version of tomal's
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] georgevella:
okay now its scary, I am retrying to reflash the thing, but when the info screen appears it does not display any information about the rom currently installed, and no infor either about the rom that will be installed (i am refering to the screen with the version numbers)

3 Different Today Screen Colors

I have ported different today screens two from Jason's latest windows mobile 6.0 rom and one from my wife's AT&T Tilt with the new windows mobile 6.1 rom released from HTC the other day which works great on

Tomal's v8.2 rom. They way you have to transfer these zip files is extract them to your storage card and save them there. They will not work if you extract them directly on your device which I don't know why. Then leave

your storage card in your Univerisal and pick one of the today screens from your device then take your storage card out and you will have that color today screen. If you to choose a different color then do the same

procedure by putting your storage card in your SDIO card slot and pick your today color screen then take care sd or mms card out which I have fully 100% tested since Tomal has released his version v8.2 cooked rom which

everything is working super at this time. Still doing further testing to check out all the functions if working properly. I have noticed that v8.2 is a little bit slower than v8.0. The only problem that I am encountering at this time

is the time that is on device. For the last couple of days I have had to change the clock regarding the time & date back to what it is suppose to

be. Can anybody please post a solution for this that is running into the same problem or if they have a fix for this. That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
