Dude, sorry it's taking a couple, but so far testing today has gone very well.. should be this afternoon or tonight after church. :)

Appreciate the kind words! ;p you will like the build! :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wellknow:
V8 Beta1

COMING SOON!!:mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yea, sorry dude, better i get some bugs out instead of releasing a unstable release! buuuuut seriously it is coming soon today! I promise :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diegolaz:
"Coming soon" = "when i'm able to finish it in the next couple of days (1 to 20 days)"

So be patient, :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
lol yes, thanks.. thought it was gonna be easier than it turned out to be :o:o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
See post2 for fixes, should be up later today! I promise. ;) it's working very well:cool::cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rileyd5:
no problemo man

take your time. we can wait. You are putting out a lot of material and we should just be happy! have a good day.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] drbrains:
Sorry for the late reply. I reflashed my radio-rom with the latest 1.56 version (was using 1.54). The problem seems to be solved. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
V8 is out!!!

V8 is out!!! Updated post 1 with links for manilla2d, lite build will be a couple mins then going to bed.. I'll get all the descriptions up tomorrow during work..

I told you it would be tonight!! Enjoy all! I really like how it came out! :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rileyd5:
flashing now

you are the man!! will be the first in line. looking forward to it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Cool cool... hope you like... this one i learned allot about oems and kitchen stuff.. sorry it took a while to get a good build out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rileyd5:
looks great

Livesearch works (it prompted me to download a new one which is much faster!!). Icons rock, so far so good. will try opera with great anticipation!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gleogil:
flashed, changed the skin and installed MMS, very good so far.. nice job :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chukalov:
I know this is probably discussed in other threads already but going by the Dr.Puttingam's instructions we should flash an official ATT rom first. His link points to cingular_3.62 which has a radio 1.54 in it. Can somebody point me to a stripped version of the official rom without radio pls? Also next step is to install HardSPL7. I already have HardSPL, i put it on last year so it's an older one but it works fine. Do I need to reflash that too?

Thank you and can't wait to flash this OPTIMIZED Manilla2D. Great job man!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] araw23:
If i could hug you guys, I would.

At&t 8525 hermes here.

Everything is running like a Champ with v8b1.

I cant believe its not a final release!

I am new to the rom world, but this would be my 9th rom and has got to be my favorite.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bplay:
how can i install mms?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bplay:
Big thanx for your work, for me the rom worked very very well....

album worked not quite perfect, i couldnt handle it by touching the screen, installed an cab from an older manila 2d package, now working....

the only thing left:

cant change ringtone for phone, is there a solution?

big thanx...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
ZOCSTER he has a 4shared folder in his signature. please look in there. Later this eve i'll add a direct link to my post1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arty:
why does it say "OPTIMIZED"?

can you explain this a little bit? i mean does it need less memory than the other manila2d roms? is it faster ? more responsable?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Dude, Thank you soo much..

It is a Honor to cook for hermes community!

And this one i can honestly say i put allot of work into learning new stuff.

Appreciate you All! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Upx compressed all exe's. loads faster and should use less memory.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
can't change ringtone? i have not experienced this. could be mapped to storage card. look in advanced config and you can change location to internal memory.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Joecd04475:
youtube

Has anyone tried the youtube player with this ROM? If so, is it working?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
it worked during testing for me..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Updated list of apps included on post 2. still updating list. so should be complete in a couple mins. as for the lite version, i will have that this evening when i get home from work. sorry for the delay in that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moodog77:
Voip?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is it possible to integrate Voip with the touchflo interface? I like touchflo, but it's not possible to get to the today screen to see if voip is configured/connected.

edit: Forgot to say, this rom looks very slick, and is very fast. Went from CRC to this without flashing AT&T stripped in between, and got first hard reset ever. Flashed AT&T and then this, and all's good now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
I am way excited about this rom with high hopes. I too am AT&T 8525 hermes and I'm downloading it and will see how it works.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
I got a little too excited and downloaded V6 by mistake. dam... now downloading V8
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
LOL omg, Thanks dude! Good luck!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gleogil:
run the device update and download an MMS composer
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
then run connection setup again from start/settings/connections
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
I love this rom. The opera internet works which I couldn't get working on the other. Plus rom is set up in English so less changes to make.

Question:

On Advance config/Miscellaneous-do I still need to down load Net CF 3.5 or 2.0.?

Question: If I do need to down load one of these would the 3.5 be better than the 2.0?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
3.5 is build in for your speed and convience, just check the tweak to enabled for more SPEEEEEED!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
Sweet. This rom kicks ass!!! Everything is working for me for once.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thank you sir, appreciate it.. i think you will be happy with 20721 build..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:

RBSNC and ... RBSC :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] glenest:
Alls running quick & stable so far, in fact i'm posting from my Hermes but it could use a UK keyboard though.

initial impressions are quite good so i'm goin to stick with it & see how it goes over the next few days
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Just used advanced config to change it over ^^
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks allot dude, yea i've cooked in advanced config with the latest abusalza xml configuration you can change keyboard in there.. appreciate it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Dude, you are AWESOME!! I appreciate it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] latonars:
1 bug

Edge icon hang for a while after reboot:confused:

Click on contact, no response
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Have these bugs still been occuring for you after soft reset? i've been using mine since yesterday on edge service in usa and haven't experienced these yet. appreciate your letting me know man.:cool::cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Beta 3 currently in testing, SEE THE CHANGES!

Hope to have Beta 3 out later today.

Check post 1 for the changes. And Thanks for all your support fellow flashers!:cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dudeluv:
Other than the ability to run this stuff..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=417825

do the Samsung Omnia drivers do anything else for the ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Testing that now sir,

First impressions are, responsivness seems improved. Sceen rotation is pretty snappy, less than one sec.

i'll report in on this later this eve when i'm done testing and upload for everyone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dudeluv:
Thanks for the quick reply Josh.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
The Omni Driver is a D3D driver, I dont think it does anything for 2D stuff, I tried it on my Hermes, CRC's 12.11.

The D3D stuff worked better before I installed the drivers..

Ill try again now.

Edit: they wont even run with the drivers.. chuck up loads of errors.. Run without, just.. slowly, The Hermes is old..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mengsuan:
I load the up driver cab into CRC 12.11 on my Hermes. Screen rotation do get faster;poof and it's rotated! S2P album art is smoother without noticable lags. The driver do make some difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
It's all smoke and mirrors ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mengsuan:
Ahaha.. Perhaps. I'll just poke around with it for a while more to be sure.

Edit: I think you're right. I uninstalled the driver and it's still fast. :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Yeh.. there 3D drivers, and they don't even work in D3D apps on the Hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mengsuan:
In fact, my PDA hang twice after installing the driver. It just hang when resuming from sleep and while entering PIN code. Everything's fine again after uninstalling the driver.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yknow you may be right... screen rotation on my roms has always been quick ;) as it is.

Has anyone been able to run benchy's.. i'll release a beta3 if you guys want with it cooked in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
I had my PDA hang once also, but i was running "superbright", don't know if maybe that screwed with the drivers also. i think i'll release one with drivers and one without later this eve in a couple hours for your flashing and testing pleasures. ;)

Appreciate all your feedback guys.

Noob chef out!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moodog77:
Out of curiosity, what has been tweaked for SPEEEED!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Enable CF3.5 to make your phone faster. (In advanced config).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
it is from abusalza's advanced config2 tweak xml. i'm not sure exactly what enhancement he added but i trust him :)

You can also upgrade to advance config 3 if you want in device update.. but i prefer version 2 myself.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pandur:
Please Help!

My device lock up after flasing V8. it is sitting on the first screen and not doing anything!

Tried both, update via XP and SD-Card...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Flash stock rom first, then flash my rom.

Stock rom here: http://www.4shared.com/account/file...ial_ATT_WM6_striped.html?sId=DnKiUAs5NfCHS4J4

Thanks, after Updating my Radio to 1.56.70.11 it works like a charm...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Glad to hear it man!! Enjoy and thanks for giving me a try! ;):D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chukalov:
Love this Rom!!! Great job man!!! Thank you!!!

Which Comm manager has 3G on and off button? I really need it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diegolaz:
fassst

I just installed V8 and it's faaaaaaaaaaaast :D

I installed PIM Backup from device update, and I see it in "Programs", and in "Programs\System Tools". Do I have 2 versions or is it the same linked from both places?

Thanks! and GREAT JOB!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
same in both!! and thanks dude, you can just delete one shortcut or overwrite the other.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] none23:
josh man thanks for the rom and the instructions on installing a bigstorage rom,,,works great, its a keeper,,,also i find it super fast...only change i made was the theme and thats it...again thanks...also will there be a non-big storage?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Dude!!! You rock!! Thanks for the feedback! non big storage i'll put out when i have a few mins to sit down with my laptop at your request. I want to say tonight, but i plan on spending time with my wife tonight. Don't want my rom cooking to take over ;) I'm a bit of a addict. ;)

So tentative answer would be sure when i have time this evening i'll see if i can upload one :cool:

Edit: Don't know if your in USA but the show HEROES is awesome!! i planned on watching it tonight!! I should so some sort of theme for a rom on this show, How LMAO would that be! lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
mirror

As usual mirror for this fine build

edit I am caught up with prison break through sources :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Eitum:
Best ROM I tried the last weeks. what I miss is the note app (I don't get why i can not draw in one note) and the diamond tastatur.

What I would love if I can change to a 24h clock, change the week starting day to mo instead of su.

What I install for me and I find it's great is Su2u it fits great in the ROM.

and of corse a link collection would be great for some addional software :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks for the mirror dude, ahhh cmon prison break!!! dude, thats my wife's fav show. it's ok, i think this years season is better than last!! it's against my morals to do a prison break rom :o:D:cool:

Edit: But dude, if you requested it and gave me a few good backgrounds to choose from, i would do it for you :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
you could do that I guess it's gotta be fast! :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chukalov:
Just found out that the incoming call ringtone can't be changed. It's not that I don't like "sexual healing" but would like to change that, LOL :).

Also can somebody point me to the Comm manager that has 3G on and off button pls.

Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
lol HAHA i'm sorry man, I swear sexual healing is'nt my personal ringer, I just forgot to change it from the 20755 sys i have. lol:cool:

I'll do a bit of some testing on this and comment this eve on your ringtone bug.

Edit: oh wow, i see your ringtone issue now. geez, ummm sorry,

as a workaround till i fix it on my next release, go into device update and download the CRC ringtones.. should should be cool then.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rileyd5:
Great rom

Using it for one day and it works great. I like the manilla 2d but I actually really like the nonbs version that is named below "Zocster". I noticed you mentioned putting it out tonight but one question. Will opera be built in to it? Or do you have a cab for this specific version? This version of Opera is the best of tried but with manilla it is taking too much memory. after opening two site (1 tab still) I was down to 6 mb left. other than that, the speed and other programs rock!! Very impressive. Enjoy Heroes tonight. I unfortunately get stuck with Spongebob... yes I know loser but the kids won't have it any other way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] burkay:
So far so good. I have minor problems though. First as mentioned, the ringtones are not working. Not a big deal though as I ahve copied my own ringtone into /windows/ring and I am using that now. Second, I have a font problem in the sound settings dialog. The fonts are not readable, as if I am missing some font. And the final problem is I couldn't install the crc black comm manager from device update. The download and install seems to be fine but at the last moment it gives an error and then restarts the phone. Nothing appears to be changed after the restart.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chukalov:
I changed my ringtone from Phone-Menu-Options. After that it shows as it should be in Settings-Sounds & Notifications ;)

Before there was no options there to change the ringtone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] srt42b:
Where do you enable CF3.5? I looked in all the drop downs in advanced config but I can't seem to find it?

Also, does anyone have a link to a mms composer?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Darkchaser:
Ok, I may be alone in this but I've had to hard-reset several times. Basically whenever the device froze, I have to hard-reset. It froze when

a) installing some programs

b) when i tried to open an invalid link

c) After a hard-reset, I usually have to soft-reset once to get the WM6.1 Starting Config.

d) I tried to install a skin but the skin never changed.

e) After installing some skin files, links like Soft reset and Music ID refused to work and I had to hard-reset.

f) It even froze once when I tried Activesync.

I flashed from a stock ROM (Dopod SEA). Also when I flashed, it said something about 1.11 spl but I chose 2.10, which is the hardspl that I have. Was there something wrong with my flashing? Sigh....I don't know. From the short time I tried this ROM it's great, but I've already hard-reset 3 times already and I don't want this to repeat so many times. I have a sneaky feeling it's a bad flash, so maybe I'll try flashing from another stock ROM and pray that it works . If anybody has a better idea, please help......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
As far as advance config go to the very bottom where it says miscellaneous

then look for option with net 3.5
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] srt42b:
I don’t have that option under misc. I only have:

Security warning…

Delete CAB file…

Automatic daylight savings…

Show daylight saving time…
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
Are you sure you have the correct V8 rom and not V6 or V8 light? I have the full V8 version, because I just checked mine and there is no:

Automatic daylight savings

Show daylight saving time

Mine says right after:

Security warning

Delete Cab

Calendar App

Default Calendar

Net Compact Framework 2.0

Net Compact Framework 3.5

etc

etc
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] srt42b:
Yeah I'm sure. I just checked under the system and it says V8 Beta 1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anhTS:
Greeting from Switzerland

Dear Joshkoss

a big thanks for your sweet rom v8. It's very fast and stable. I just try your rom now for a few hours and i don't get any issue or hardreset. Good work chef, i think, this is the best rom then i reflashing until now. you became slowly the best of cooking rom awards. Thanks again for your hard work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
I think you instaled another advanced config over the one that was in the rom already.. .net 3.5 is already enabled hence you would not be able to get into advanced config (.net app) The tweak in advanced config is for some sort of preformance tweak.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks man!! I'm trying, every rom i learn new things. like a wine, getting better with time ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mankie:
Great rom, very fast, no hardresets. However, the youtube application is very slow in video rendering, looks useless, maybe you can remove it.

But a bigger problem for me is the fact i cant change the ringtone for incoming calls or for emails/sms notifications. When i click on "ok" it does not change the settings, just sits there.

One other thing, the dialer is very nice, any possibility in adding 3G capabilities?

*EDIT: Also i'm having an issue with Device Update, i check on an app i want to install and it generates and error and asks me to close the app.

I have an Tytn and my apn settings are correct.

Thanks for a great ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
the sms/sounds etc it has been answer one page back answer 401. so has device update. for the rest the chef is still working on it, as it is part of my request also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mankie:
Same issue, when i try to do phone->options->sounds, when i click on "ok" it does nothing, does not save the settings nor does it exit out of that screen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jjkim5:
How to change "Calendar Link" in the HOME page

I have an "Informant" application. How can I change the "Calendar" link to open the other app (ie: Informant) other then default ROM calendar app.

I try to poke around by changing calendar.ink in the windows directory but it seems like the "Calendar" link is directly pointed to calendar.exe in the windows directory.

Is the a way to change this link?

Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
did you flash a shipped rom first? in my 4shared i find the att stripped rom is best so if you can flash that one first, as you can see the result on post 401 solved it so ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
V8Beta2 Work In Progress

Hey guys, appears device update doesn't play well installing comm manager over my comm manager. so beware! i'll see if i can fix that on next release. also sounds i have fixed so far. working on a good opalish comm manager including 3g for next release also.

i'll do the lite version this time around first.

Thanks all you flashers, you all are great! :D:cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mankie:
I'll give it a try and will report back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mankie:
Will 3G dialpad be the same cause this one is great just that its missing video call?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Hey Man,Thanks for checkin my rom out.

I'll look into a 3g manilla dialer, haven't found one yet, but let me know if you see one, i'm looking. :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] none23:
Hey Josh i got one small thing i find wrong though:( whenever i play files either in WMP or the home player it freezes after one track is done :( is there anything to fix this or is this caused because its big storage? thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Arktronic:
You've got an excellent ROM, Josh! I did find an issue with the RSS Hub app. TouchFLO can't launch it (clicking it under the Internet tab does nothing), and when I start it manually from \Windows and try to click More Info under Options, it says the help file can't be found... and then displays the help file :p

Thanks for your hard work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mankie:
Just noticed another issue off adding new contacts through the dialer. Enter in a number and click add contact to "new contact" or "existing contact", it will freeze up the phone. Also adding an image to a contact whether through the dialer or through contacts, it will not allow the camera to take a picture and then assign the picture.

otherwise this is a great dialer.
