JUST DONT USE IT. you sound like bigger idoits trying to prove everyone that DCD roms are slower than stock and if you have tips, they shouldnt be to improve, they be called tips on how to perfect what is almost close to perfection. DCD i love your work, and i thank you to gc14 for all your random knowledge. end rant

Cooking vs dcd default

Hi Guys,

I'm a total noob to this stuff. I've been reading posts, etc and I was all set to update to the vzw update, when I started seeing all that horrible stuff about locked down gps so I figured hey, might as well flash with something that seems better.

So somehow, I installed the bootloader no problem, flashed the radio no problem, and then flashed using DCD's 3.2.6 rom (Thanks btw). Fast forward a few hours later and I'm in the kitchen cooking up a custom. I don't like the vogue dialer, I wanted the homeplug, I wanted java, I wanted Windows Live, and I wanted htc x button. Oh, and I also wanted to replace the voice command app.

So I cooked and cooked and flashed and flashed, and I found that whenever I cook my own, the phone is much more unstable. (Both with the new verizon radio, and with 3.42.4)

First, thing I noticed was that after I flashed with a custom, the start menu icon in the upper left corner wouldn't appear until I pressed it or the ok key. Hmmm....

Second thing I noticed was that when I would hit ok while in another program, the phone would not return to the today screen. (Though I did see this happen once or twice using dcd's already cooked rom).

Third thing was that when I had windows live push me mail, I couldn't actually open the mail messages.

I'm cooking and loading the bootlader, (using version 2.4-olipro btw) and then connecting via usb to update the rom. That's the way to do it right? Same with dcd's? Boot into the tricolor screen, run his updater utility from windows and connect via usb right?

The only other possible weirdness on my end is that I'm doing all this from a macbook pro running parallels. I'm downloading all files from the mac and then copying over to my virtual xp drive.

Anyway sorry for the long post, but that's pretty much where I'm at. I'd love to be able to customize but stability is more important right now. Are there separate installers for the customizations I want? (x button, different dialer, java, live, etc) Can I do it that way?

I also did the titan gps fix via the wiki, and I still can't seem to get gps working. :(

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jin

Oh and I almost forgot... I need solitaire! I spend a lot of time on the subway in nyc!

Also, thanks so much dcd for all your hard work!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mrslysly:
If you are using the newer radio versions they have the gps already enabled. The gps fixes are for people that have it changed or turned off by oem settings (from the carrier). I have the 3.42.50 radio and gps works from the get go. If I remember right the gps is enabled on any 3.xx.xx radio versions. So try the gps after a fresh flash but before doing the fixes. Using google maps it takes about 30 seconds to lock 6-8 satellites with cloudy cover for me.

There is a quick mini tutorial for the proper settings to enable apps to use the onboard gps. Don't remember the link off the top of my head.

Reg edit

Hello, 2 things from a noob

1) How do I edit the registry on my Titan?

2) I installed the kitchen, but don't see the programs that were checked on my phone. Did I do something wrong? It looks the same with the kitchen as it did with just the rom.

Thanks in advance,

Sprint TV cab here

A few people have asked for this so I thought I'd post it. I went looking for a new Sprint TV cab a month or so ago myself since the older one I had before made No2Chem's rom (nueROM 2.2-5770-pre8) freeze whenever I ran it. The older one always worked fine on dcd's but I switch back and forth whenever a new one comes out from either rom developer.

Where did I get it? I downloaded and flashed the latest official HTC Sprint rom and ran GetSprintTV.exe (included in the HTC rom). By looking at GetSprintTV.exe in a text editor you'll see that it downloads the cab from http://sprint.vend.mobitv.com/download/SprintTV_6800MR.cab. I tried downloading it directly without running GetSprintTV.exe and I received an unathorized message. I tried it again later and it worked fine. I am posting it here in case the link above dies or doesn't work for you. I installed it first to make sure it worked and it did. Then I reflashed the nueRom, installed it and it worked. I watched an episode of Hanna Montana with my 8 year old daughter to make sure it worked. I did.

↓↓ The url from which GetSprintTV.exe gets the cab ↓↓

http://sprint.vend.mobitv.com/download/SprintTV_6800MR.cab.

↓↓ If that doesn't work I posted it here ↓↓
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cobaltikus:
1) You need a registry editor. There are a few good ones out there. I use dotFred's task manager. check out http://www.dotfred.net. Side Note: PIM Backup is also by dotFred and that is great for backing up and restoring a couple things before and after rom flashes.

2) It you make a rom from the kitchen without making any checkbox changes it should come out just like the prebuilt rom. You won't see any programs in the "Remove Programs" section because that only shows programs installed through cabs. Not sure if that is what you meant.

Does that answer your questions?

dcd 3.2.6 at 300 degrees for...how long?

Hey guys & gals...

I've been very happy with dcd's roms since i started using them (about a week after I got my pda...) and I'd like to start cooking my own. However, I'm finding very little dcd-specific documentation on the OEM and SYS packages included (what works, what doesn't, what does what, etc...) Any chance I'm missing my research target, and where should I be looking?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jeffgman:
Which SPL?

I am currently running SPL-2.40-olipro with DCD ROM 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50. I noticed on the front page of this thread DCD recommends users of SPL-2.40 should upgrade to SPL-2.47. Should I upgrade? And if so, what is the difference between the two?

Thanks,

Jeff
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Artok:
I could tell you where to look, but I'm a bit burned from reading the entire thread... There is talk within this thread of the benchmarks of each, and 2.47 is superior to 2.40. Its easy to upgrade, click the SPL on my sig to get the required file.

In short, its a matter of preference... IMHO, upgrade. Its easy and is recommended for 3.2.6.

help with GPS

Hey guys,

Hope someone can help out a noob. I flashed my Verizon xv6800 for the first time this week. Used dcd 3.2.6, installed the verizon carrier cab. My phone is working fine, I had to call Verizon and they got my data connection working.

However, I can't use GPS with google maps, not sure why. I made all the changes settings I found in the FAQ (set GPS program port to COM4, hardware port to None, Baud rate to 4800, Manage GPS automatically option is checked, phone's location setting is set to "ON" in Start->Settings->"Personal" tab. I've soft reset my phone with these settings. I've also tried *228 resetting with #1 and #2, still not working.

Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks so much

I just have 1 issue, for some reason TouchPal 3.5 won't install. Keeps getting "Installation unsuccessfull", for some reason. Anyone know why?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Protonus:
Hi,

how old is your phone? Did it have the "new" Verizon update on it prior to this flash?

Did you install a clean ROM, or was it cooked in the kitchen?

EDIT: Forgot an important one.. Did you ALSO flash a new RADIO?! You didn't note it, that concerns me. Without a new radio, you won't get GPS. I suggest 3.42.50. What guide are you using for flashing?

Are you flashing with nueSPL 2.47?

In Google Maps, I'm assuming you've enabled "Use GPS" from the menu?

Also in Google Maps go into it's options, and manually specify the GPS COM port and Baud per your above settings.

Does it say Seeking GPS (0) ? If so it IS trying to get GPS signal. Are you trying this out doors? GPS does not penetrate indoors very well, ESPECIALLY for initial lock. I suggest you try it outside / in the car. It takes about 45 seconds to a minute to get the initial cold / GPS lock. Leave it on this screen for several minutes outdoors and observe what it says.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] txi001:
I got my phone in 12/07. I updated to the new Verizon 6.1 official ROM this week, found out that it didn't support GPS, then decided to try to get the most current ROM available. I used a ROM kitchen, I don't remember specifically flashing a RADIO, though when I look under Device settings, it says under Radio version: 3.37.75. I assumed that meant I had the Radio as well, and from what I could tell in some FAQs, as long as it was above 3.35, it was fine.

The bootloader I used was SPL 2.40.

When I click use GPS in Google Maps, it says "seeking GPS satellites (0) ..." which I assume means it's looking from what you've told me.

I actually am indoors in my apartment. I've just been reading that I should go outside, maybe I'll go for a stroll=)

Thanks, will let you know how it goes.

Ah ok, now we're getting the information needed. Take a look at the other threads in this forum (Titan Upgrading), regarding the new PRI that came with this new ROM. You've removed your ability to use GPS with other programs by installing the new Verizon ROM. It can be fixed, but it's a pain.

That's the new Verizon radio yes, but it's outdated before they even released it. After you fix your PRI issues, update to the latest radio (3.42.50). You flash it like a ROM. It is regarded as providing faster and better GPS locks.

You should be using a 2.47 build. Furthermore, use nueSPL, it's much much easier/safer/faster to flash off a SD card.

Given the other things you've said, it might be trying to look, but I doubt it will find them. Definetly try it outdoors.

Make sure to set the Google Maps GPS settings manually as well. I've never gotten it to work with them set to auto.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] txi001:
I didn't have much luck with the GPS walking around outside for 15 minutes.

My PRI version is 2.03_002. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, what I've been reading in the threads about PRI is regarding Roaming issues which I don't have. Are you certain I have a PRI issue which is causing my inability to use GPS?

I unfortunately have a 4gb micro SD card which is why I've been doing the USB tethering and using Olipro 2.40 for my attempts at ROM upgrading. I guess I'll pick up a 1 or 2gm microSD card tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Protonus:
Not sure what you're doing to mess up the quotes lol..

I'm going to guess you didn't look in the forum as I suggested as just 2 threads below yours is a thread about the PRI issues with the new Verizon update. EDIT: I see your new post that you saw it now. Good.

Yes, I'm rather certain you will need to install the original PRI to get GPS to work.

You were confusing PRI with PRL. I know it sucks they look the same in a lot of fonts in lower case etc. PRL deals with the roaming list.

As far as flashing off SD card, I use my old 128 mb TransFlash card I got for my v710, when transflash (aka microsd) was first released (damn thing cost me $40 back then too lol). So really any NON HCSD card will work (aka 2 gb or below).

You should definetly be using 2.47 in most cases, of whatever unlocker. not 2.40. However see the PRI fix threads for specifics. There are two methods, the PPCkitchen methods and the gc14 methods, AFAIK. I don't claim to know much about them as I wouldn't ever flash a factory ROM lol.

Good luck.

I always thought that this would be great in wiki of something. I am not very knowledgeable regrading these components and would not be the best to do so.

In using search, DCD claimed from what I saw that the first three were not needed but saw a post where a guy swore by Sql.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
What components you include all depends on what your needs are. I believe the SQL app is for creating applications. A lot of folks here make their own programs, etc and so I can see how sql would be useful for them. I dont so didnt bother installing it.

But I like games so checked off that box.

There really is no right or wrong decision to be made - the ONLY thing you have to be careful of is not to check of two versions of the same program. For example, you have the choice of two different camera versions - only choose one.

TITAIMG.nbh

TITAIMG.nbh
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drew826:
The exe is really a self-extracting compressed file. When you double-click the .exe on a Windows computer, it extracts the files to a temporary directory and runs the update file to update via usb. To get the actual .nbh rom file, you need to extract the files from the .exe file. WinRAR can do this (I don't know if other programs can). Open the file in WinRAR and extract the rom file (RUU_signed.nbh). You can extract the rest if you want, but all you need is the rom file. Then rename that to TITAIMG.nbh and copy to the root of your SD card. Sounds like you know how to do the flashing, so I won't cover that.

HTC Home = complete hang?

First off- awesome job on this release. I've been dying for the new video driver. My free proggie memory is sky high compared to any other release, and the device is just a whole lot snappier.

Ever since I went up to 3.2.5, I've had a strange problem, which happens every time. Never had the problem pre-3.2.5.

Flash 3.2.6, no SD card for UC

Install the HTCHome plugin (htchome-2.1-hermes-n2a)

Access Settings->Today

Click Items tab

Device completely hangs (before the tab even renders), unresponsive to anything, including power button. Green status light continues to flash though.

Soft-Reset

Device boots, loads the home screen, the radio signal shows the X for no service, and the device is completely hung with the same symptoms as before. Each soft-reset is the same from there on. I have to perform a hard-reset to get my device working again (thank god for UC!)

Device:

xv6800 (TITA100)

R 3.42.30

D 3.2.6

SPL 2.4 Olipro

I've done this both with the stock rom, and with one cooked from the kitchen with pretty much the same stock options. My guess is that the crash occurs when shell32 loads the htchome DLL to populate it into the today items list- and again at boot when it enumerates all the today plugins.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help earlier. I was finally able to get the bad PRI off (it was extraordinarily painful, took about 3 full attempts of the entire process for me before it finally worked... and I had some strange active sync issues in the middle which made me think I had bricked my phone).

But all is well now. GPS works, data connection works, etc. So glad I finally did this.

Gotta say I like this ROM. I have been playing for a little with very happy results. One little glitch. When I leave my home calling area and go "roaming", my roam indicator flashes as well as "No Service" on the screen. The flashing "No Service" indicator is the glitch because I do have service. I have Alltel service and have installed the Alltel carrier cab. I also have the 3.42.50 Radio. Anyone else have the same problem? If so, did you have a solution?
