Thanks a lot!downloading.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TheMasta:
When I run ROMUpdateUtility.exe all seems to start OK, when the progress is at 3% I get the error (attached image)

Any ideas on this?

Cheers!.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
for any 3% u must CID UNLOCK ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Campello:
You unlocked the CID?

You removed the memory cards?

You removed the SIM Card?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
@ campello :did u know that i thank u for helping us out :D keep the good job bro ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wernerbaden:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] absorber786:
Thank you but guess what.....thats also blocked "You have tried to access a web page which is in violation of your internet usage policy.":(:( damn these IT people..

oh well some patience maybe and will get it tonight...they say patience is a virture

Thanks blasev for the effort..much much appreciated.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TheMasta:
Thank you Campello. For CID unlock I downloaded USPL_2.28.0000.zip (previously installed EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab) but the USPL_2.28.0000 never completed sucesfully (Stalled on the second step at 75% and the pinguin on my screen).

Currently I have IPL 2.20.0002 and SPL 2.20.0000

Any Ideas? If I try tu run your ROM's update utility I get the error on the screnshot.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thebomber:
downloading yaaa thx for 1.8

hope it doesnt mess me up like 1.7
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
follow the steps EXACTLY as mentioned here for CID unlocking:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2506093&postcount=136

and if you have more questions related to CID unlocking, PLS don't ask in this thread, but in the thread related to USPL. and sometimes, u have to try the unlocking process 3-4 times to make it work.

Unnamed Contacts

There was a problem after updating the ROM.

Appeared several unnamed contacts and locked for exclusion!!

Forget, after I restart the HTC they are missing
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thebomber:
dont know something is wrong it stops at smart mobility screen and turns off

it flashed a success 100 percent what went wrong

cid unlocked also
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TheMasta:
Ok, I understand. Thank you for your help and effort :):cool:

Cheers!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wernerbaden:
I finally installed the new 1.8 Version, but i can't get my SIM card to work. After it shows the "smart mobility" message the phone switched off. Does it has something to do that i have an old Radio ROM? Where can i get it?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thebomber:
same problem man i flashed back to original rom
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Campello:
Try a Hard Reset first.

You can get the new Radio here.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wernerbaden:
no luck, i tried a hard reset, der Radio link is down. :-(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wernerbaden:
it works! i had to put in the sim card when the device is switched on! Thank you!

Calculator Skin is unusable

I had a good time for one week with v1.6, now with v1.8 i can't use the calculator because the display field is overwritten by another black field

the visible skin is nearly a black skin, i thought the diamond skin would be a white one?

any other have the same problem?

Greetings from Germany and a lot of thanks for the hard work

Thomba
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Campello:
Same problem here.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
skin can be changed easily. just search for another one.

everyone: its just impossible to satisfy everyone even though i've worked as hard as i could. if this continues, there wont be another release at all. consider this v1.8 as a last release.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] flykthewiz:
Here's the white one :)

And a white Dialer Skin too
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Thomba:
please don't be angry ... i gave you many thanks for your hard work!

Should I keep problems for me? I think that would be not good for a "forum"

I tried the Diamond Calculator II by Leo2016 but it want me to delete the actual skin

first - is anybody able to tell me how to do this?

Many Thanks

Thomba
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mr_ding:
Not everyone is hard to satisfy. I for one REALLY appreciate the hard work that you put into releasing ROM.

Keep up the good work, don't let a few individuals discourage you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Campello:
we know you work hard to make this perfect ROM.

this is a great ROM :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Thomba:
sorry if i was misunderstood, maybe in case of my bad english ...

I'm not an individual I am "Thomba"

I just had one (1) question, nothing else and I never had the intention to discourage anyone!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] wernerbaden:
i just played around, i have still problems with the sim card. if i shut down my mobile an i switch it on it shows the "smart mobility" message once and it switched off. As a workaround i have to boot without the sim-card and plug it in during power on. Then the mobiles makes a reboot and start with with the recorgnized SIM card. Does anyone has the same problem? ( i made a hard reset and upgraded to the newest radio rom )
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mr_ding:
No, mine is working fine. I'm using SIM card from Canada Rogers AT&T.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] anandoc:
If there are any Canadian Rogers users here, can you report back and tell me if the "Name Display" function works with this ROM ? (Provided that you actually have that feature in your plan). Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
don't make rash discissions :p

hmmm maybe it's time to post something in this thread again... I posted here some time ago with a problem concerning this rom. Since then I haven't had any problems with it anymore so no more posts from me either.

Now I'm really enjoying this rom and checking the thread daily for updates. I'm still using the first version but I'm going to upgrade to v1.8 when I have the time.

Don't stop releasing new versions. Keep it the way you like it (so far it's according to my desires from a rom :p) and post it here "as is".
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mr_ding:
I'm on Canadian Rogers PAYG. Yes, "Call Display" works fine for me (when receiving phone number that's not listed)

If the number is in my contact list, then the caller name will show up too.

Somebody with this problem?

Thanks

Its My First Time To Flash A device

i must have to say its really a work of GENIUS

thanks a lot for ur brilliant Effort:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
Dear Thomba

I understand you were inonvenienced because of this issue till you got to know that the skin is to be changed, yet you also need to consider that the developer is working tough and trying hard to solve all the issues with everyone. Maybe at times there may be a few bit hard responses by them. But its just the pressure, No hard feelings :)

I'm sure Htctouchp and Blasev took your appreciation rather well :)

Hey Aman. Thomba has a valid suggestion of adding these instructions somewhere in the initial posts ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Marcb:
can all this procedure be done under Windows Vista x64 bits?

it doesn't have ActiveSync, it's Windows mobile device center
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
Yes it can be but you will need the 64bit RUU to work. I had one but lost it since I formatted my PC. But do a search and you'll a complete procedure on flashing in Vista 64B
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thebomber:

Need Help

i just flashed this Rom and its really really a brilliant piece of work....

but I have a problem with my network wizard because it did not include CHINA and i am in china using China mobile so i can get access to automatic internet settings.....

any solution for this situation
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
i know that this rom in not perfect for everyone. it doesn't have china network wizard (and some other country) , and it will never be, unless u help us out by giving a newer network wizard.

about calculator skin, never tried to change it, cause i don't see the necessary. for our concern calc skin was only candy eye, we never use it continously. but the current calc is working greatly.

and for some person that have problem with upgrading, i urge u to post and find solution in the WIKI or STICKY in this thread. not that we doesn't wanna help u guys, but sometimes our chef : HTCTOUCHP was more concern in rom development, not answering the same question again and again. He is working hard for u guys for free ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thebomber:
guys thanks god rom flashed and everything is looking great till now :d

all i did was flashed new spl and ipl 2.27 and 2.28(cid unlocked)

update the latest radio

the device is faster and hope i dont get that touch problem :D i miss your roms htctouchp :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] anandoc:
Call display and Name display are two different things. Call display will just display the caller phone number on your screen and if you have the number stored on your phone, the associated name will also show up.

Under name display, even if you dont have the number stored on your phone, the calling party's name shows up on your screen. This information is sent from Rogers to your phone. So essentially if you get a call from a person whom you have never talked to before, his/her name will show up on your screen alongwith the phone number.

This feature is supposed to work only under the official Rogers ROM and a lot of ppl are trying to figure out to make it work under cooked ROMs too. I was curious if this feature worked for this particular ROM or not.

More info about Roger Name Display here

Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Can anyone confirm if this ROM is compatible with BT stereo headsets. If not, how would I go about getting that option.

Currently running Blue Elves and fumctions ok.

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
Of course it is. I am using Plantronics 855 work fine for me.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mr_ding:
Well, I'm sure for $10/month with PAYG, "Name Display" is not part of the included feature.

I see that it is an extra $7/month feature if you have a monthly plan for (Call display + Name display) or $2 for (Name display) alone.

If you have subscribed to that feature, I don't see why it will not work with this ROM.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
sorry,is this rom for elf or elfin?thank you
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
Hi htctouch, I tried V1.8 last night, it is a piece of very good os than before. More stable and compatable. The bluetooth for the GPS that about COM port problem is gone. It is working fine now. What I suggest for your new ROM is come with or just provid the download link of WOW SRS. It is a very good software to improvide the sound system of the PPC especially this ROM. What I meant is this software make the Bass more dynamic and also improve other part of sound but one thing I don’t like is it make the sound weaker. With your, it is perfect match.

Softrest is needed after installed and before you use it. And you can tell the big different when you use headphone to listen music. You may not tell if you just only use the tiny internal speaker for the music. Enjoy it!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
first try - sound gone mute -> hard reset needed

second try - it work, the sound output is nicer ;)

conclusion ->sry i can't put this in the first post, too risky for a newbie

but anyone may try this on their elf(in) :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thebomber:
i dont see the srs woow needed i used it in my jamin to raise sound but i see the sound is way over the high

i listen to 80 percent only more than that its like a woooow :D

i will try it and give the feedback

edit: works perfect on elfin no need for hard rest just a soft one

i find it useless i am sorry the sound is already high :D

just one thing i really find winrar usefull around here :P

also battery status for battery status and overclocking ::d how about that
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
thx for the input

well, i always hope that ppl will customize to their own liking, so we will keep it lite :D

[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
People who are using this ROM please check here

I would like to say thx to our great great chef htctouchp and our customer service manager blasev. I believe most of the people here will agree that this is the best ROM for ELF and ELFIN ever. But I would like to say something to remind people here.

This is not your taylor made ROM, so please accept something that you may not like and something that you think is missed. Be honest, I really don't like the today screen and the wait cursor (Sorry chef) so I made my own theme (or you can download somewhere else) and use Marshell Cursor.

Somethings missed? Just install by yourself. No ROM in the world is perfect for everyone unless the one you make for yourself. So please don't yelling something stupid here again. Otherwise no more people to dedicate their time and work here. After that you just only can holding your PDA and say why so slow... why so rubbish... why no upgrade... why...... or you might go to HTC to complain and yelling see would they have any reply to you. I don't think so.

One more thing we can do to save the time of our chef is new guys please go through whole thread before you ask a question here. I found that some questions already asked before and have answer in previous post.

I think we better save the time for our chef to improve the ROM instead of wasting the time to put "something your want" into the ROM.

Want some more good stuffs here?

I think the better way to encourage people make some more good stuffs here is make the people feel you appreciated their work. Two ways to do so you can just simple say thanks here and buy our chef a drink thru Paypal like me.

Remember that more encouraging here will have more brilliant stuffs here.

Sorry about my poor English. I hope I could present what I want to tell. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
It is not for raise the sound but imporove the Sound Quality, like the Bass.

If you use it to listen the Hotel Carlifronia especially the part of Drum, you will see what I am talking about when you turn the wow srs on and off.

* Please use the headphone not the internal speaker
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
Please check post #747, I added something there. It alright just want to share something good with people here. Before this, I wouldn't use my PDA to listen music but now, I will when I without my mp3 player with me.:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thebomber:
well i love this program and its extracted from o2 devices and i just quickly tried on the speakers will try the headphones

but they are still new :P gotta hold for a day or 2

anyway nice pickup to place for music fans :D but whats better than to listen in a lecture
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ms818:
Just want to ask, htctouchp,

the version is now v1.8, do u think there will be any upgrade to, say, v2.0, or something? :)

I'm now using shadow rom. I have been USPL by djvw yesterday to welcome Touch essential. As I'm a user, not a player, I hope I will not change the rom for a long time until a revolutionary rom is appeared. The last rom I've flashed is shadow 2.1TE since February.

Do u think I may wait for some time, say, a fortnight, to upgrade it? :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
I used Shadow 2.1 before, if still 1.7 I would say wait but 1.8 I say go ahead. You wouldn't regret. Much better than Shadow 2.1 but you better upgrade the radio, uspl and isl.:cool:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
enjoy v1.8. it could be our last meal ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
thx bro :D

@TheBomber

well first i was on the original os -> Can I install the original OS without trouble?

then i cid unlocked using latest version by htctouchp -> is it just executing the file elf-uspl.exe which is in the root of the Zip-File USPL_2.28.0000.zip ? Are there other tasks to do before this? (A read here about Making a special directory or copy some files on the sd card, for example.

Why you removed you the simcard and mmc in step 3. i heard in the forum i have to remove all the cards first.

Actually i am not happy with this rom because i have to plug in the SD card and telephone card during power on.

Please help.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
if you are not happy with my ROM, don't use it. go and flash some other, nobody is forcing u to use it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wernerbaden:
"not happy" means, that i have to insert the SIM card after i power-up the mobile. This does not mean, that the ROM is bad. I played with it the whole night, its very fast und stable! Can you help me? u can PM-me, i think its a special problem.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
i dont understand this problem. obviously the SIM card and SD card should be inserted before u start the phone.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wernerbaden:
The Mobile doesnt boot if i do this. it show the "mobile..." and it switched off.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kmiel:
Hi there,

Had a go with this ROM and I must say: very clean and fast! Just the thing I was looking for; a really fast base and I'll (try to) customize it myself. (Still don't really know on how I want it to be...)

After installing SpB PhoneSuite, the installer wanted a soft reset. So I did. And it's still soft resetting ever since. It's showing me the "smart mobility" part, followed by the HTC logo part and then the splashscreen of Windows Mobile 6.1.

After a while, the backlight turns off but the splashscreen stays. I've had it lying like this for +/- 8 hours without a change.

Any thoughts on what this could be? Is it a known issue? Never had this problem with SpB PhoneSuite. Other application which was installed: BatteryStatus (clocked it to 247MHz).

Currently I'm charging the phone and hope it has the USB connection active and try to flash it again or else take out the battery and see what happens.

And another question: how can I change the wait cursor and eventually the Start button? I respect your choice and I know one has to make a choice, but I'd like it to be different.

Thanks for your hard and great work! I'd love to start using this ROM.

Looking forward to your response.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
try another SIM/micro SD card.

@kmiel: there are plenty of options available as far as wait cursor is concerned. just search for another one. MM marshal has done a remarkable job in this regard. and i dont advice overclocking, hard reset once, dont overclock and then try using that software.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kmiel:
Thank you for your prompt response! I'll have a look at the cursor.

Just removed the battery and put it back again; the phone boots again and it's just the way it was before the soft reset horror. Weird...

I'll have a go with your ROM and post my findings.

Thanks again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] flykthewiz:
I had that problem with a different ROM and it turn out to be a faulty SD card.

Try booting the phone with just the SIM, if that works then you have the same problem, time to buy a new SD card! (I could still read mine on PC)

I have got NO PROBLEMS at all with 1.8 :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
yes SD card might be an issue. i was also reading about the hangup/freeze issues. this issue is very common for niki. there doesn't seem to be a clear solution though. the possible causes may be old USPL, SD card, old Radio etc. so i suggest everybody to use the latest USPL, radio etc and if possible try changing the SD card.
