I had problems with that, but in a different rom. I found changing to different SIP keyboard worked. It started happening after I updated to the latest SPB Shell. I had been using the default kbd, changed to the diamond one, no more problem. Also used to get hangs with PCM keyboard, it's now my first thought when things start to go wrong!

There's also an issue with letting the file cache manage itself I think, you can disable it with advanced config.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks for the report dude, I'll check it out and see if i can use filesys modules from stable crc release.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rileyd5:
cool

thanks man. i am sure it about the same challenge. good luck getting set up again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bteljuice:

Hi joshkoss,

Sorry to hear tat.

U had cook such a great ROM for us here, i can show my 838Pro off to other WM user tat how cool my fone is. I like the keyboard, Manila2D, SoftReset and others feature that make it most prefect ROM around.

With these i think we owe u something....Furthermore, u need help now.... just donated bro frm : then9521vc@yahoo.com
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Everyone, Thank you

Everyone, Thank you so much!!

Seriously you guys are like family, I appreciate everyone.

I will chase up abusalza he needs a flex cable and hope yours will work on his.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Cool, yep it's all his if he wants.. phones a bit flattened but hope the flex cable is good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] matt_mbk:
Just wanted to thank and congratulate you on the ROM

This ROM is QUICK, EASY, and TIGHT. Other ROM's I tried did not provide a single end user experience like this. They were a collection of programs thrown together. Your ROM with Manilla 2D fixes that for me.

I'm looking forward to any future releases, as there are some issues (as others have pointed out).

The only thing that I have problems with are programs closing (usually happens with Opera for me, and I just have to load it again to get it to come up). I'm sure this will be very difficult to debug!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Opera eats ram, as does Touchflow2D, so you might get auto closures, I know I do when using Opera on a rom without TF2D :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
Any ideas on what to do next?

My 8525 is frozen on the "windows mobile" screen when it starts up. I took out battery and that didn't work, it just got be back to the same screen. I did a reset by sticking a paper clip in the bottom hole and that did the same. Any other ideas?

Last time it was working I was in "Programs" - "Device update" that's in this rom. While it was updating it froze, so then I took the battery out because no other button was working.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
did you flash a att stripped rom from my 4shared? try that first, get into boot loader, press power on right and ok on left, and stick stylus in the little hole all together to get to boot loader then flash the stripped rom and then this rom again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
i can't get connected to activesync
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
you won't need to if you are in tricolour, just flash away with the shipped rom first then try the big storage again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jafo:
I never knew I could do that. It worked...thanks

For a minute there I thought I was going to have to get a new phone, which wouldn't of been all that bad except that I don't have the money.

thanks again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ncd_x:
I can give you that deal

I am thinking of moving to the dark side, so I am open to selling mine to you. I have extra extended batteries and charger with the original box. As a token of my appreciation for your excellent work on this forum, I can ship it for free.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mr. Clipit:
Im so sorry to hear that man... your roms are the best i've come across so far (no joke). good luck and godspeed with getting a new phone and developing more for us :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Done!!! Dude i sent PM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mankie:
Hey josh, i found a working phonecanvas which you can cook in, which does not have issues with adding contacts.

The other issue with the rom is the camera cannot be activated through pictures & video application.

As for the phonecanvas, i can't remember from which thread i grabbed it, so dont know who to give credit.

here is the link: http://www.4shared.com/file/65443216/4af5af77/MBarvian_OpalPhoneCanvas.html
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Dude, thanks, Appreciate it, i downloaded and will check it out..

Check your pm, i need help testing my next beta release.

Beta of a beta i think ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Just put it up bro, that's what these forums are for :) they're happy to be a beta tester
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Well, it's a beta of a beta so go easy on me:

-removed

I have not tested obviously ;) so i'm cooking blind per say. just let me know whats broke and i'll fix it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
V8Beta2 still being worked on :)

Thanks Mankie, Will have another build out soon, once i get these fixed

little issues in manilla2d

Hi,

Got the ROM on my Hermes for a few days now.

It's great, love it.

few small issues and maybe they are known allready.

Under Programs the "all programs" link doesn't work.

A few time's a day i have to tap the screen to start touchflow....?

When i select Call History-Menu-Filter-Missed, the screen freezes,

got a white block in the lower part of the screen and nothing happened.

Press "ok" and the windows closes but the missed calls option is not selected.

These thing are only minor things! Just love the rom and his looks.

Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
I have call history issue fxed in next release so far. thanks for the feedback dude!! You rock!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diegolaz:
v8b1

I'm using this V8B1 and its very nice!

One thing I noticed is if I get a call from someone I don't know, at the end of the call it says something like add to new contact or add to existing contact or ingnore.... but the add options dont work...they take me to a very nice "create contact" screen...but I can't type anything

Did it work for you?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Sorry dude, my phones fried, haven't tested it. i have a fixed dialer coming in my next release.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dfairles:
Email Issues.

Found this on the Manilla thread and it seems to work. If you do not set up your account with Active sync but set it up on the phone itself, then the email app works properly.

The only other issue I have is in multi-selecting messages. I cannot drag across multiple messages in my inbox and select them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Dude,. you rock!! Thanks for the info.

on the multiselection dude, it is used by the menu dropdown on right side while viewing messages.. there is multiselection there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jukkus:
I really liked your rom, but had same problems as all others using xt9 keyboards.

I have wwe os, English hardware keyboard, but because I'm finnish I also need my scandic letters. With T9 keyboards I used custom sym0409.txt file to get ä,ö from "dot + space". Problem is that it doesn't work anymore with xt9 keyboards.

So would it be possible to have rom with standard keyboards i.e. Lite ver. or do you know anything that solves my little problems...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AdamsJourney:
I've been running V8B1 since last night and I have to say I love this ROM! I just updated from V6 and got all the things that I was missing in V6 ie: battery status, task manager etc. I really like the new dialer. I have no issues to report other than the 'all programs' button not doing anything but that is minor.

I usually don't comment on ROMs but this one is damn near perfect... and its still a beta! :cool:

<edit>

I did think of one thing, if you could make the default background the same as the manilla background so that the start menu drop down doesn't have the globe picture then I think it would seem more integrated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AdamsJourney:
Oh yeah I did find that the other ringtones included in the ROM other than Ring were corrupt. Not sure if that's only me or not.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
no sir, sorry, fixed in next release.. thanks for the comments.

back to building roms:p:o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] iluvgillgill:
this rom doesnt work with chinese patch.when i installed a chinese patch phone function does not work.when i press the dial buttom from today screen nothing happens.

but i guess not many people who are chinese in here so i think its not worth your time to solve this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Capt Fiero:
I flashed V8 last night and started my tweaking, and at first glance, this is the slickest, coolest rom so far I have used. I usually run Schaps, CRC and Aus stuff.

I really liked the Opera Browser, and the touch flow was amazing. However the big glitch and the only reason I might have to give this one up is, the browser would randomly crash, and kick me right out to the today screen saying Tap Here to Launch Touch, TomTom would randomly exit back out, seemed like everything would just crash back out. Drove me nuts all day while my wife and I were out shopping. The integrated U-Tube is simple Amazing. I love it, I have not had the chance to use the RSS feed yet, but it looks really cool as well.

I do load my phone VERY heavy with apps. TomTom, Monopoly, 4gig of MP3's couple of media players and such.

You sir have a great rom, just needs some tweaking for stability.

I cant offer a cash donation at the moment, but I can offer you virtually unlimited hosting space on a server with extreme speeds.

Great rom! One of the best I ever used. Just some minor bugs, the backlight turns off automatically even when you have unticked the box in settings. And if I take out my micro sdhc card and put it in again I need to reinstall all apps that was installed on it.

Anyone having issues with BlueTooth? Every since I flashed this ROM (BTW it is awsome) people have been telling me my BT sounds like Im in a empty room (sounds distant or hollow).

This may be an issue with my BT, but Im just checking non-the-less. I have a moto h700. I also lose sync to it frequently. Thats why I think it may be the BT.

Thanks for this ROM and any suggestions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Arktronic:
I haven't heard any complaints from the other end when I use hands-free devices with this ROM, but I do have a different issue: I haven't been able to receive files over Bluetooth, even after enabling OBEX and Beam.

its d3d update but where do i use it m8 :D i did included it but no difference in tcpmp
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] carcomp:
At a total risk of getting flamed, and pointed to the wiki, and linked to other threads to read, what will the d3d do, or at least what will I notice that is different than most other roms? I have read some about this d3d but its still kinda fuzzy about what good it is.

Thanks, I REALLY appreciate any thoughtful responses.

BTW- Yes I did read the whole thread, and no, I don't think anyone really answered this question.. They just put what "seems" to be happening.

I don't want to flash away from a good working CRC rom and loose my bejeweled score for nothing, but video upgrades excite the hell out of me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
As CRC said, it is 'smoke in the water' it doesn't really do nothing. I didn't find any huge improvements when installed, may be initially but .... hmm
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I have posted about 3 times... and flashed and tested the roms.. this driver does nothing..

D3D is direct 3D, so, whatever it does, wont help with the WM UI or, with anything that doesn't use D3D.

Only really useful on the Kaiser where they don't have a working (well.. didnt) one of there own..

turn off advanced setting

open active sync - menu - connections - uncheck - check - synchronize all pc using this connection - open 'USB choice - OK

Honestly sir, i'm not sure if there's a installable fix. what i've done is replaced all the 20755 bluetooth modules with abusalza's as i've heard he's got good quality bluetooth sound. i'l be updating post 2 later if i have time with more fixes and hope to have more colors next time around.

Please Heeelp!

Hi,

i wanted to flash my Hermes again, after i flashed it with this rom, but the bootloader couldn't load, and now my vario 2 doesn't boot anymore (so i cant sync it what means i cant flash it anymore) :( it shows the bootscreen with the hermes on it, and nothing else! what can i do?

please help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
So you had pressed the left OK and right power on, all together and stick stylus in to the slot and it didn't bring boot loader?

Once you have done that, you can flash a shipped ATT ROM with a stripped radio from my 4shared. Don't worry if activesync doesn't show as it is paired.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Darkchaser:
That's ok. Your ROM is still pretty good so I don't mind (too much:D) re-flashing to v2 when it comes out. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MDMC:
it bring's the bootloader.

can you give me a link of the ATT Rom??

Thanks for your fast response!

edit: i downloaded the official ATT from your 4shared, but which radio should i download?
