ROM date correct !

Dear MiChy,

Could you correct the ROM date in your next R4.1 version ?

For example, in your R.4 for SPL3.5 - SPL 3.5-Athena_SPL3.5_WWE_WM6.1_R4.0-MiChY (that I installed), the ROM date is : 11/09/07.

I think you should correct it to the exactly time, in order distinguished from your others ROM version, and make users can have the feeling of having the lastest version.

In my opinion, this is the better feeling !

Thank you very much, and look forward to have your R4.1 version !

While switching from spl 1.2 to spl 3.5, I lost my wifi for the first time. I went to spl 3.5 when AP4 came out then when back to spl 1.2 while helping with the downgrade. During those times I never lost my wifi until recently. Anyway I fixed but I just want to alert PPL that they should check their wifi after changing spl because you never know when you will need it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
MiChY,

I strongly recommend that you forget about opera 9.5 1938. It has lots of display problems (square area of garbed display with different size fonts on places where I click)

I'm now using Opera 9.5 405. It works perfectly with FL 3.1 on flash sites.

Get it here.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=19533

Build 405 has the further advantages in that the bookmarks size is smaller, allowing almost double the number of items to be shown on a page.

Also, by default, the minimum overview zoom is set to 80%, which allows us to click on a link in overview mode. With the default of 1938, you have to zoom in first before clicking the link in order to activate it. (Of course, you can change the minimum overview zoom to 85% yourself in opera:config adaptive zoom section).

Only problem for me is that it does not like Tengo.

Using build 20721 is a good idea. I do find some strange behaviour here and there with 20273. For example, the cooked sprite backup shows a blank screen whenever I start it. Clicking randomly on the screen is needed to bring up the real display. Hope you still get the random access and gsensor features working in this build. Who knows, the GPS issue on spl1.2 may go away with this build.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
I use the 2027 build and don't experience any screen rotation when I exit it. I'm not sure if this build had those issues as the others did, but the only problem is the keyboard coming up on screen when I select a video to play. It's still not as smooth a playback as TCPMP, but I'm still loving it and Mich's new ROM. NICE WORK AGAIN MICH!!! Oh and by the way has anyone been having caller ID display issues after doing the MMS registry edit so they can get full screen MMS? My caller ID comes up but no name or number's shown on it. I can see the numbers on my BT 8010 but not on the main display.

P.S. Donations coming payday (Next Friday) bud!! ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Opera 9.5 1957 seems to work very well. I don't get screen rotation on exit and it seems to work with flash sites.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Using Opera Version 9.5 build 1184 works pretty well too.

In fact with this rom version, everything seems smooth and snappy.

Oh, the above may not apply generally. Waiting for R4.1
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I just tried it. I can't seem to enter any text into the internet search window though. Also, the buttons are super small LOL. Looks like I'll be forced to use stylus rather than finger with this version. On the xda site, using large size fonts cause them to overlaps and unreadable. These are some initial observations.

Yes, it does seem to work with Fl3.1
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
tootallk2000,

I can't seem to find Opera 9.5 build 2027 that you mention here. Can you give us the link to try out?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
lol, change the skin to the VGA skin, thats the problem you're having, lol

personally that what I'm using too build 1957

has opera crashed on anyone here? after the crash when you come back to xda can you enter any text in the message on here? it crashed on me and I can't enter any text here, I reinstalled same thing. I know the reason it crashed is because of the flash because it never used to happen before.

plus the flash doesn't work well with my pron sites to its really not a plus for me, youtube I use IE and tcpmp, if flash can't give me my pron sites then it doesn't make much sense to me. lol

I really don't think there's a build 2027 out yet.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Lennie,

Thanks for pointing this out. Will go back and retry with the VGA skin. :o

Would you mind giving me the link to the one that you're now using? Thanks.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Just tried this. It's quite good. No display problem. Youtube plays well. Tengo works.

lost wifi with second flash to ap4

Same thing happened to me when I flashed to ap4 for the second time.

things that were different for me this time were

1. used vista

2.forgot to make sure enablerapi was installed

hope this helps someone else
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
You mean you will have WIFI problem if you use VISTA?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
lol, no he doesn't mean that, he can't mean that, because that would be crazy. I'm using vista64 and all is well.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lakeman:
No, what i meant was I used vista to do the flash to AP4 the second time.

when I did the original AP4 I used one of the beta versions and people were having all sorts of problems so I decided at that time to use XP to try and avoid them.

I am not sure why I had the problems the second time but i am trying to reconstruct the differences.

Couple of thoughts/observations on SPL 1.2 and R4.0 radio 1.58

I upgraded from 2.04.

I use iGO8 and GPS works without problems - COM5 - auto detection - no issues.

ROM is quite quick and I had no freezes yet.

GSesnsor works very nicely.

Even though the first page says that TouchFlo is enabled by default - it doesn't work for me and I can't find any settings to enable it?

I'm not sure about this yet, but it looks like the battery life is much better than it was on 2.04...

Also - the VGA cab in this thread doesn't work - gives an error when installing, Michy could you include the VGA in 4.1 - you could remove NetFront for instance - I don't need it, Opera is good enough, although the included Opera build doesn't render my iGoogle page.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Yes! This is the best version of all that I've been testing. The only version that does not have any known problem for me. FL3.1 and youtube works smoothly. Tengo and keyboard works. Does not need to zoom in before clicking on a link. No display problem. Does not rotate screen when exiting in landscape mode. They may be problem that I have not noticed yet, but so far this is the best.

MiChY, if you have to cook in Opera, I think you should use this version.

How to set GPS correctly and get it started...

Hello all,

went finally to Michas ROM - seems to me the fasted and most suitable for me.

Now I want finally to have my GPS running. I have my Athena since nearly 2 years and never used GPS yet :rolleyes:

OK - what must I do ? When I open "GPS settings",

I have a GPS program port: set to COM4

then I find a GPS hardsware port: set to (None)

and the Baud rate: 4800

What do I have to do to find out whether my GPS is working )

I've started the upgrade process. I am a newcomer to Michy's roms. I have never used Opera 9 but I think I will give it a go. My main interest is to use it to see sites like gmail (Netfront seems to have difficulty with this). I am using spl 1.2 and would ideally like to install on sd.

Which opera version do you recommend?

Thanks and special thanks to Michy for keeping us all excited with new and better roms.

thank you michy for this good rom I haven't installed yet though I'm at a place i can't download right now but i know this is a great update to the 4th edition. :D

i actually just did a hardreset to be able to post in this forum again as after opera crashed it wouldn't allow me to post here, but as there is no flash in the update i know i won't have that problem again. nuff respect.

Congratulation MiChY, on the first sight, R4.1 is fast and stable as R4 was.

Unfortunately, there is no my favorite browser - NetFront Browser 3.5. Also, font used for a big clock is not my favorite one. Is there a way to change it to be R4 alike?

Is there a chance to include NetFront Browser 3.5 or newer in the next release?

Thanks for your hard work, MiChY.

However the 4th generation is closed. ;)

Sorry to be so ignorant, but I haven't flashed a ROM since AP4 - is the AP4 method still the way to go about flashing Michy's ROMs?

http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf

Went ahead and flashed using that AP4 instructions, worked fine. Question #1, how do disable the startup sound?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I just flashed R4.1 spl1.2 (was watching my code geass r2) and it seems the build has been changed from previous. I also noticed that it doesn't perform well at 0pagepool (or maybe I had a bad flash, don't know) but I'm using the 16mb version and it seems all is well so far.

There's like a million plus 1 sip in "stock" :eek:, but they don't bother me at all, my trusty old touchpal works wonders.....:cool:

I'm not sure but the speed seems to be a little above or the same as the R4.0 release. all in all, a great release.

Small wifi issue

Loaded R4.1 and I have one small issue that I had in R4. When I start Opera (WiFi only) it loads fine and I can browse to a page. If more than a minute passes and I don't change pages, I get the "cannot locate remote server" message. My only solution has been to turn off WiFi and then turn back on with the com manager to get a page to load.

Any thoughts?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
hmmm, don't have that, I'll test

EDIT: ok, I just tested out the wifi and all is well, I let it stayed there for 2 minutes then try another site and it works. is it your home network? try to turn it off for 30 seconds then on again. something remotely similar happens to me roughly once a month when my modem gets a new ip and my linksys router won't update its tables properly, so sometimes my computer would go online but not my XB360 or vice-versa. a quick restart would do the trick.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
tell you the truth, I don't use the hardware keyboard anymore, I can't tell you the last time I even looked at it...:D

I can type with touchpal3.5 much faster than I ever could on the phone's keyboard, I didn't like the keyboard because there was little tactile feedback (not that touchpal gives any, but i'm typing on screen and the words are right there on screen so there's a lot less eye movements involved.)

but I digress.......

to really answer your question:

I don't know if the wake up with hardware keyboard issue is resolved......:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
Thanks bud, you're right but the reason I asked is that when the phone's here at home it sits like a laptop and every now and again I tap the keyboard to display time etc, but thanks again.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] auswims:

Another great rom... my only hope is that some day a version with zero software keyboards will be made. Is there a way to remove them without flashing a new rom? I use the hardware keyboard 100% and never use the on screen keyboard. After every soft reset i have to change it to default to the null keyboard. That is my single gripe with any rom.. :p

Thanks for you great work.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] galt:
Sorry for the lack of info.

AP4 (original spl 3.5) previously

flashed to Michy 4.1 , spl 3.5

Radio.... 1.57, I think

Trying a hardreset now...

*edit - no luck with hard reset - trying reflashing...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I can confirm this.......the thing is I had flashed it earlier and everything was working fine....I installed a program that wouldn't uninstall so I hardreset, now i can't get to sms....

EDIT: I can get to other places my messaging except to the inbox

EDIT: this is getting crazy now, I got 3 sms I can't read or reply to, and I know they're gonna keep piling up......

EDIT: I turned off threaded sms and now I can read the messages and reply to them....i really like the threaded sms though....bit I'll see what can be done
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
hope the issue resolved after your 2nd reflash.

Good to execute hard reset from previous rom before flashing next. Had not encountered this symptom before, sorry unable to assist.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] galt:
thanks, but unfortunately still a problem after 2nd flash of 4.1 (spl3.5).

I'm not really up for trying to change SPL's, guess I'll try flashing back to AP4, test, then back to Mitchy 4.1.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
use advance config and turn off threaded sms, you'll be able to get to your messages, that what I did, I"m having the same problem as you do

check above post #971
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] galt:
Still on Michy 4.1, just tried disabling threaded SMS via the Advanced Config app, it seems to avoid causing the app crash. Re-enabling threaded SMS brings the problem back.

That's a problem for me, I love WM 6.1's threaded SMS. Is anyone out there using Michy 4.1 (spl 3.5) with threaded messaging working?

This is a really great ROM except for this issue and a couple of issues with odd screen rotation (no I don't have it configured to auto rotate) and also some Opera hardware keyboard issues (doesn't recognize the hardware keyboard after the 1st character is entered in a text field).

Michy, my hat off to you, this is a really nice ROM (crazy fast). If I can get these few issues resolved so I can use this ROM with no major issues there will be a paypal on the way to you.

*Edit - thanks Lennie, I tried that too and it is working with threaded disabled, but I need that feature to work!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
the last app I ran was icontact, and after that this problem appeared.....I've never had this problem before, and right now I don't want to hardreset as I entered all my cosmetic tweaks already and installed my staple programs.....

and I know how you feel, this is the first time since 6.1 that I'm not using threaded sms....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] galt:
I never ran icontact, don't think that's the problem.I can tell you off a fresh nothing-changed 4.1 re-flash I still have that problem. Wonder if there's a SMS threaded cab around here to try and install. I'm guessing some of the threaded SMS resources aren't where they should be.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Yes, from R4.1 version, first experience this message issue. Unable to open sms message.

Now trying to figure out whether from icontact or rom itself. Thanks both for pointing this out.

Hope our chef can look into this.

edit1: After hard reset, restored my sms messages, same thing, when trying to open any sms message.

It show loading and went back to today screen.

edit2: ok with fresh sms message in Inbox, able to open and view. Noted all my previous sms messages only available in sent Items. All sms messages in Inbox previously viewable now no more.

Decided to keep R4.1 for awhile to monitor.

Thank you MiChY for adding the Audio Manager, lovely.

wake up by pressing keyboard

Currently using R4 in spl 1.2 and the keyboard does wake up the ppc.

Have you looked at settings/system/keylock and tick "do not lock buttons"
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cottinghamm:
Mostly happy

I have moved to this ROM from the Sogarth (too many issues) but am now finding things that are beyond annoying here as well.

1. Transcriber does not work - I can select it but it doesn't ink at all, just selects the page. I use my Athena for a lot of note taking in meetings, this is essential. Is there a Reg fix ?

2. Holding the shift button and then Up or Down arrow in email does not multiple select (or as is commonly known shift select) the emails. This has worked on every PDA & every instance of WM I have ever used, this is not a nice to have, I get a lot of emails I want to group together & either move to a folder or delete - is this a design or is there a fix.

3. Finally, but not critical, when I put the Athena onto the keyboard it does not come to life, as it does with every other ROM. It should do this.

I think that this ROM is pretty good & have lots of nice to haves, but it really has to do the basics as well, which it has a problem with.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Ah, that was also one of my problems which I forgot to mention. I normally am able to use my finger to select more than one email before I delete them. Here I can't do it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lakeman:
I got transcriber working but had to click OK inthe top right of screen first.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Is it just me that is having device freeze problem happening so frequently immediately after soft reset? It takes so many repeated soft reset to get to a working condition.

Never had that with this rom , but did with some of Iruses , and had to hard reset to resolve it
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cottinghamm:
Agreed, screen now coming to life after fiddling with the do not lock setting, not got anywhere with the Transcriber yet tho.

I can't find anyway of getting the transcriber working, does anyone have a step by step fix, I need this before tomorrow please, I have 5 back to back meetings and need to take notes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cottinghamm:
So long as it is not just me I am sure that we'll get a fix for this .....
