the issue has been identified. i had removed the default WMplayer skin from the ROM thats what is causing the problem with audio manager. so i've decided to go back to the default WM player skin and i'll remove poorlyduck's skin.

@1stHTCphone: have u tested the new version of advanced config?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
Hey mates, found one bug and one problem of the ROM 1.2 and 1.5.

After you set the COM port at "External GPS" the value will go back to "none" when you reopen it. Also the check box at tab "Access" will uncheck. However I still can use my external GPS. See could you fix it.

Another problem is I love to use batterystatus but sometime when I restart my ELF, the today plugin of Batterystatus gone and the check box is unchecked by itself. Don't why. Could you check it if you have time. Thx.:o
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
does this happen everytime u restart?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
I'll try it ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
we are going to release a newer version, so does anyone have a bug or two to report?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Piesang:
Please include the 6sided Cube.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
:D sorry to disappoint you mate, but cube is never coming back in my ROM :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
just wondering :D, if we remove the one note , will any user miss it :?:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Piesang:
Is it a big job to make two ROMS? One with Cube and one without? I dont know how much work it is so maybe its possible.

But then on the other hand I guess everyone has got something they want in the ROM so then you will have to make a lot of ROMS.

A very easy CAB file for the CUBE with the 6sides would be nice. I got one on the forum by Noonski and it works perfectly but it only has got 4 sides.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
well bro, one bug can cost htctouhp 4 hours of his life, so it's a lot job to be done ;)

and about the 6 sided cube sry we can help much, but i put a link for 6 sided cube in the first post :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:

Speaking of Calendar, what's the best way to remove duplicate appointments/contacts other than manually?

I have found this post online with calendar issue..its for Hermes Mobile 6 .. same issue...

there is one cab file for it.. but i think it for Hermes Mobile 6 only

But i dont know programing thats why couldn't mobifly for ELF may be you guys can make out somthing out of it.. and put in your ROM... to avoid such problems...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nfhuysamen:
omg! what a great OS!!! record boot time. from the second the 'smart mobility' appears until i can use my phone a mere 35s !!! running elf 64/128. THANK YOU htctouchp

No, I was just giving the memory info (but for 0MB PP on v1.6)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
:D dont worry, i was just informing everybody. it was not meant for u alone :D

btw, thanks. i think u have used all of my ROMs.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fairchild68:
Hi,

sorry to say that my mp3 files on audio manager are still jumping like mad- no change here from my perspektive:(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
not possible. mr_ding has also confirmed that this problem is solved. are u sure u are using version 1.6? pls check the Device Information to confirm the version.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fairchild68:
hi,

100% positive 1.6 - but i put a spb backupfile back on, which may transported a problem. now having hard resetted again- you are right audio manager works.

all i need now is acc audio support and i am a very happy cookie with this rom

thanks for the work guys
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
hmmm, are there some codecs available separately for acc?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fairchild68:
i'm using coreplayer 1.2 which worked fine on blue elves 5.0- there used to be a seperat acc.cap file for tcpmp

if you change the output to mono right it is ok- but no stereo output
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fairchild68:
well, i'm just stupid- you certainly need to put a stereo device on to to enjoy a stereo effect.

ok- you guys just created my new ROM, after months on blue elves (may it rest in peace)

you guys are great!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
glad u enjoy it, off to sleep, c ya guys ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rizjav_86:
nice rom!

Thanks for this great rom and thanks for fixing the audio manager bug in this new version. pcmkeyborad also works fine. this rom is REALLY fast. just one question... is it necessary to have palringo on this rom? I dont think that every1 need it. wouldnt it be better if you just give it as a cab for those who need it?

i have noticed one more thing, the sound quality for calls and music is MUCH better on this rom as compared to shadow and blue elves.

I am using battery status and I clocked my ELF to 312 Mhz ! I am lovin it :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
glad that u like it :)

i think i'll have to remove palringo from the ROM soon as nobody really seems to be interested in using it :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mr_ding:
TCPMP Plugins for AAC, AC3 and FLV:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
so if these codecs/plugins are so easily available as cabs, do i need to cook them into the ROM?

Comments:

1. Personally I don't like the wait cursor - although this ROM is so fast you very rarely see it! If you are going to add one, I like vista blue.

2. Needs the SPB calculator and diamond skin. I know cab is attached in Post 1, but why not include in the ROM?

3. I would like to have the large menu text (when you press bottom soft keys in apps). Can't remember if it is part of large start menu or task manager.

4. Would be nice to have random access as it doesn't take up much space and makes contacts usable - without going to iContact or PCM.

5. Unless I read the details wrong on Post 1, I thought WMP had the poorlyduck diamond skin not the default. I only see the default WMP skin.

6. Palringo is nice, but not sure it is needed on a "clean" ROM.

7. Love the vista start icon

8. Love the HTC Home plug - version, clock and icons

9. Nice to have a fast boot up and nice generic splash screens

10. Nice black diamond dialer
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mr_ding:
Doesn't bother me too much if it's part of ROM or not.

Personally, here are some cabs that I ALWAYS install after every ROM upgrade:

HTC Large Title Bar

HTC Random Access

TCPMP along with plugins

My shared links to those cabs (in case others want them)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
thanks mate..this should help everyone :)

@2manyphones: thanks for those observations. my answers:

1. that cursor is dedicated to one of my close friends, so i dont want to change that.

2. i've tried like anything to have it cooked into the ROM, but just cant do it. i'm really pissed off at this stupid calc.

3. i'll look into this.

4. i'll look into this.

5. blasev forgot to update, v1.6 has default WM skin. :D

6. its not ultra clean ROM, so palringo is there.

7, 8, 9, 10. thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mr_ding:
Here are some more files to share

Should be part of ROM (imho)

- HTC Large Title Bar (bigger icons for title bar)

- HTC Random Access (Find a contact quicky by letter in your directory)

- TCPMP with AAC/AC3/FLV plugins

Should not be part of ROM:

- BTMusic (enable you to use BT Headset to listen to music)

- RAR (rar support)

- TuMa Games Pack (includes Line4Line, Mines, Pac-Man, tetris, ColorInvasion, Euchre, Spades, HotDeathUno)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Attached Calc OEM.

Should work.

It has Password on it because it has the new Skin i made so you need to replace it with whatever skin you want.

But the registry is set to a PNG file.

Palringo looks better but it misses Skype Voice Calls from fring.

But Palringo is still better then MSN but it still doesn't support File transfer.

Tha't's about the only thing, still contemplating on it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Rene-357:
i realy realy like this rom,,great work and thanks a billion times for guide me. i realy thank you

sorry for my english
[Touch GSM ROM Development] erwinsie:
hehehhe i will try this rom now after its not beta anymore :)

again its really hard to satisfy everyone ;)

i definetely need BT A2DP.. cant live without my a2dp headset !

but i agree about TCPMP. we shouldnt include media player at all :)

btw, i use tcpmp with subtitle plugin and watch movie with subtitles
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
About the batterystatus gone not happen everytime but sometime. Sometime the check box at Today is checked but not show up at Today screen, have to uncheck and check again than may come back. Ever never happen before when I used other ROM
[Touch GSM ROM Development] urchinray:
Shoud I reinstall everything when I upgrade my ROM from 1.2 to 1.6? Some ROM could not use the backup from the previous version. Could I use my old back up?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
yes, better reinstall.

about the plugin issue, do u face that problem with other plugins also or just BS?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Spb Backup 2.0 has a neat feature that selectively restores your programs if you made a ROM upgrade. It works between different cooked ROMs (not just versions) too!

P.S. I don't work for them ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
i have try that many times. ten times using spb rom upgrade mode and i get ten times error. not big issue , but sometimes after upgrade i can't see my dialed number on phone skin, and some program didn't work properly. and still i'm a fans of spb backup ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
never happened to me, i use BS continuously for the past 2 days ;) use the latest ver :0.06.331

Problem

htctouchp, i used all of your versions so far. I really like them but unfortunately the most important problem is STILL NOT FIXED. I am talking about the "hang" after standby. it happens not that often any more but yesterday i was facing the same issue as in the previous versions.

If a locked device (elfin in my case) comes back from standby and you push on "contacts" for instance, everything is hooked up. No reaction and answer from the phone anymore.

Since this is BASIC FUNCTIONALITY I really hope somebody could fix that. I would love to use your rom but this is one of the basic KO criteria.

thanks for listening to my complaints :)

regards

PS: Of course I did a couple of hard resets after flashing to new version. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
*sigh*

i didn't have this problem after one hard reset. anyway, i'll try my best to find a way out :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] cBlack:
you're my man... THANK YOU !
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
did u do a hard reset after upgrade?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Jura_ZG:
Hi blasev, could you upload essential 1.6 with your pp. I seem to not be able to find hex string in 1.6 nbh file?!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
which Hex string did u try to look for? wasn't it this one:

03 15 A0 03 02 15 A0 13 00 10 83 E5 DA C2 FF EB?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] deoli:
Thanks a lot for the great work. This must definitely be the best ELFIN ROM around at the moment!

Two issues I've noticed in the 1.6 version though, that were'nt there before:

- Internet Explorer doesn't close when tapping x. (But then again I normally use Full Screen Mode and never close it that way, so this might also apply to earlier versions of the ROM.)

- when installing gollum's or P1tater's Diamond Keyboard and Keypad only numbers appear when pressing qw, er, ... / abc, def, ... (This is obviously a problem of the App, I just thought I'd mention it, since it worked fine in earlier releases.)

Keep up the good work!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Jura_ZG:
Just realized i had "start of file" marked instead of "whole file". Foud it now, sorry for the inconvenience.

What do you think about 4 mb pp on this rom?

Does it reduce speed somewhat?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
1. :confused: how do u close IE when in full screen mode? in normal mode if i press X, it closed properly for me.

2. better use PCM keyboard than using those diamond ported keyboards.

@Zura_ZG: only you can decide the best PP value for your needs.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sancho555:
Hi,

i have the same problems with gollum´s keypad. The problems has been never before. In 1.2 also no problem just in 1.6

Have anyone an idea?

thx

sancho
[Touch GSM ROM Development] deoli:
1. Yes, I normally close it through the task manager anyway, so I don't really care. Actually after one (of several hard resets) I notice this might be related to issue...

2. Without installing the Diamond keyboard first the X now closes IE. Thanks for the PCM tip! I'll give it a try.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
mmm maybe this benchmark can help , done using sk tools

4mb pp -> 420 memory speed index

6mb pp -> 535 memory speed index

8mb pp -> 553 memory speed index

so i choose 6mb pp

change your pp with the provided cab at the first post (pp changer for elf only) :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Jura_ZG:
Thanks man. Really apreciate your help and info

I've tried almost every rom there is for elf but this one is incredibly fast.

Excelent work guys.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Jura_ZG:
You mean zip file right?

Just pick wich pp i want and execute bat file?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
correct :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Jura_ZG:
Ok, tnx ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
i'm not using the mentioned keypad, but pcm keyboard and resco keyboard work fine :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] 2manyphones:
Update to post 525

I went to set up active sync and am not able to sync. I am using MS Exchange 2003. I tried deleting the pair and re-syncing with no luck. Also tried syncing with only GPRS or only with PC with the same results. The support code is 80004005.

Also a strange thing when I installed some software (random access, PCM Keyboard, Marshall Vista WaitCursorand), reset and now have the default windows start icon instead of your vista icon.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
nobody else has reported any problem with active sync so far :rolleyes:

vista start icon changed because of msrshall cursor. the marshall cursor dll has all the default windows icons except for the wait cursor.

Touch Essential v1.7 BETA

guys new version 1.7 BETA is released. pls check post 1 for download link. this ROM is based on newer build 20275. everything else is same to v1.6.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] flykthewiz:
What does 20275 give - I have got 1.6 working perfectly with all my apps and exchange etc.

Is it worth updating?

IPL and SPL

Ok this is gonna be a stupid question..

but what would happen if I don't use the ipl and spl as recommended in post 1?

Will this rom work if I don't upgrade my ipl and spl? my basic understanding is that the ipl and spl impact boot times and program load times. I know the wiki probably has more on this but I have not checked yet :)

I have previously flashed swiftblades wm6.1 rom with no issues..so my guess is that it won't make a difference. Am I correct?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
IPL/SPL is recommended to be upgraded because of 2 reasons:

1. base ROM that i'm using is 2.27 which should work best with IPL/SPL of same or higher version. of course u can use older IPL/SPL also.

2. in general the newer IPL/SPLs boost the performance, so i recommend everyone to upgrade them even if someone uses my ROM or not.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] absorber786:
:) thanks for the quick response. Will give it a try then.

btw I would see a performance improvement if I did the upgrade on my current rom..right?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
yes, u should definitely see improvement if your current IPL/SPL is lower than 2.20.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] absorber786:
well this has been kinda off topic....but thanks for your assistance..

now im off to your other thread for more info and guidance on spl and ipl :):)

hmmm I see that dsixda(I hope that right) got a new tool to help in identifying my current spl and ipl ...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
well, u don't need any tool to identify IPL/SPL version. just go into bootloader and see for urself.

For whatever reason (bad flash, etc) active sync is now working with v1.7 where it didn't with 1.6. Wifi /comm manager works with me. Didn't use 1.6 long enough to notice differences, but applications / skins are identical.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Thanks a lot for this rom! I'm running it since this morning on an elf and indeed it is fast and stable. The fastest rom I have used so far on an elf.

Please don't add anymore programs into this rom. It is a very light rom and runs fast that way. I don't understand why people want to add more programs to the rom. You can install it afterwards after flashing isn't it? And personally, I don't use a lot of programs that are part of all the other homebrewed roms. Total Commander and Regedit may be removed as far i am concerned e.g..

So please keep it lean and mean!

What I miss / and would be nice to have:

1. A link to messaging (sms)

2. The diamond calculator

3. WOW HD

4. A 8MB pagepool version (I guess a lot of people are no hexedit wizards, and it is a bit tricky)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
thanks for compliments. but it seems to be very hard for me to please everyone :)

however, from now on i'll keep the default PP as everyone has a different choice. total commander and regedit are very light programs, even if u let them inside the ROM, they won't harm. my aim is always to make a fast & stable ROM. i try never to compromise with speed n stability ;). so don't worry as i'm not going to add too many programs.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
guys, reuploaded the ROM. Please check post 1 for changelongs.

PS: pls confirm the removal of annoying bug related to tskschedule.exe or if there are some new bugs to be taken care of :D.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ksk622:

PS: also check for "Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe" bug.
