changed the radio to the 1.58.25.17 no more weird echo when talking on the phone. installed the hidden proxy cab and reran the connection wizard. tested MS IE and wasnt giveing me any issue telling me that the connection was lost. changed from wap.voicestream.com (gprs settings) to internet2.voicestream.com (data plan-edge settings) and still no issue. re downloaded the new beta version of skyfire and working as well. thanks

EDIT:also sirius wm5 is now working again!!!!!

Turns out that I was hit by a nasty virus, that disables the antiviruses (I use Kaspersky KIS) and impersonates as a Microsoft antispam app....

First time ever I'm hit by a virus. Darn.

I wanted to ask for recommendations regarding HardSPL for this ROM.

I currently have 3.56, but still encounter freezes on all ROMs I've tested (in some it's worse than others).

I've seen recommendations to use emonk's (?) 3.29 patched.

What do you think?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
According to some the 3.56 spl is missing pieces. Some recomend the use of hardspl 3.29.

I personally use hardspl 3.56. If you are having freezing issues I would give 3.29 a shot. Please let me know if you have better results with 3.29. I have considered switching myself to try it out.

I will try to dig up the posts regarding whats missing from 3.56.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
I'll try flashing it during this weekend.

But I won't be flashing your new version till I get my PC back, hopefully tomorrow.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Sounds good. I look forward to your feedback. I nearly have the update cabs complete so after you give me some feedback I should be able to finish them up. Most of what we discussed in the last version will be implemented in the cab update.

There will be a seperate cab for each version.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
OK,

I flashed the 3.29 HARDSPL, and am currently using the NIKI in my sig.

I tried the KAIS_Radio_Only_1.70.19.09, but found it ate up my battery.

Possibly tomorrow I'll give it another try.

I'll wait for my PC before flashing the new ROM (am currently using one of my daughters' PC).

I'll play around with the current version tomorrow, in order to see whether there're any problems or if there's still any lag.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
Still on version 3.57 and radio NIKI 1.65.29.22

Do'nt know if this is related, but today, after flashing 3.29 HardSPLS, under clear skies, after SR and an updated AGPS file, I've had terrible GPS TTFF.

I tried this several times today, it took me over 10 minutes to obtain TTFF. subsequebt fixes were faster.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
I always get much faster fixes if I use GPStest and minimize it. Fix time on clod fix no matter what rom is always under 30sec
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
I had a hard time getting GPS fix also with GPS Test.

The best GPS TTFF I've had with the Tilt was about 40 seconds, with subsequent fixes of seconds, This was with NATF's ATT 3.25. I haven't had under 1 minute GPS TTFF with other ROMs.

I always load AGPS data prior to the test.

The basic test I do is just after flashing a new ROM, when the system is uncluttered. I load APGS data, install GPS Test and IGO8, and go out into my yard,in order to perform the test.

But back to the results under 3.29.

I'm still trying to find the linkage between the various s/w components (ie ROM, radio, HardSPL).

Tonight or tomorrow morning I'll test GPA performance again, and if it's still bad, I'll reflash 3.56.

I've read reports in XDA that there's a 3.29 Hard2 version, that supposedly performs very well ( a version hacked by cmonx), but I'm really hesitant to install such a basic system component that is hacked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
aruppenthal,

I just saw ih the thread that you deleted Clear Temp.

Why is that? I always use it to HR, rahter than the cumbersome key-combo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
I only took out the clear temp not the Clear Storage. Clear storage is still located in the settings menu. It will hard reset for you.

Clear temp is part of the update cab that will probably be complete in the morning.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
Sorry, I missed that...

Of course I meant Clear Storage.

I couldn't hold out till I got my PC back this Sunday, so I just flashed it with v4.

I'll reinstall everything and let you know.

The 1st thing, however, will be to test GPS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Thats always the first thing i test as well. I got my first fix in arounds 40 sec with the radio in my sig. Let me know your times once you test it. As I said in a earlier post i always use gpstest to speed up my fix and I also disable agps. I personally find agps useless. I think I actually disabled agps by default.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
GPS TTFF was a bit over 1 minute. Not the fastest I've had.

My experience with AGPS (on WM6) is quite the opposite - it certainly speeded up the GPS acquisition.

This has changed in WM6.1.

I've read in XDA that WM6.1 doesn't use AGPS. Certainly it's one additional "feature" by MS............

In my case GPS Test doesn't always speed up GPS acquisition, since it also has trouble finding those darn GPSs...

The thing is that can't put my finger on the factors influencing GPS.

At the moment I'm completing automated installation of all my cabs using Sashimi.

The only app I can't get to be installed is SPB Backup.

[edit] Boot times are still VERY slow.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
are you using spb backup 2.0.1? i had no issue installing it

I talked to a few other chefs. It seems that the rom loads everything before the today screen comes up. The rom loads all the icons and graphics during boot. Unless I change base roms I dont think i can get the boot down any shorter. As long as the base stays speedy during operation I am not going to stress too much over the boot. I am working on a rom based on 20748 though so I may change them all to that base if it goes well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
I'm using version 2.01.

It gets to the point where the app is installed to the SD card, and then it just hangs there (in the sashimi screen) for a very long time.

Althought afterwards, when I go to start-programs, it's there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Have you tried manually installing it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
Yes, in that case it works perfectly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
OK

Possibly you can add some comment to be displayed during the long boot process, eg "Windows is loading" or something.

Also don't be offended, but maybe you can change the initial splash screen. I personally installed the Clownfish.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
I like the idea of adding windows is loading. I have actually been thinking about changing the match screen. I will include it in the update cabs.

I have added several differnt alternatives for the very first boot screen (the vegas sign) in the third post. If you have a different one than I have available and would like me to add it to the optional changes I would be happy to. Almost everyone has a personal favorite so I will probably leave it to the user. An alternative is to not include a splash at all and the one installed will remain when flashed.

Ill ask bengalih if he has any idea what is causing that to not install with sashimi.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
I see that you're using SPL 3.59.

I did not see that version in the HardSPL thread by JockyW?

Have you tried the 3.29 cmonex?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
OK

I installed the 3.29 by monex, will test it out throughout today.

But I've had several hangs this morning while reinstalling everything, don't know whether it's related.

Re the band cab:

I installed the original one I have been using w/o any issues till this ROM, but now am unable to save the settings at GSM (initially the band showed AUTO, but I'm in a GSM area most of the time, do I always change it to GSM, to conserve battery, otherwise it'll keep searching).

The app hangs for about 3 minutes, then gives me the following error message:

"Warning: Unable to change GSM/UMTS band, please try again later".

The only way to exit is by SR.

I installed the CAB provided by you, and it worked (I reinstalled and it did not require an SR. But neither did my CAB).

I had no issues at all with my CAB, until this version.

Could it be it has something to do with monex's SPL?

The 2 cabs are the same size.

Bottom line, the Band cab now works (yours), but this is strange.

I reflashed this morning, tested GPS TTFF with IGO8, after refreshing AGPS, and w/o using GPS Test. Acquisition time was almost 1 minute, not bad (not the best I've had, but not bad).

Re the Navigation folder that I wrote you about a few days ago, it turns out it's created by GPS Test. It wasn't there after I flashed the new ROM, and it was there after I installed GPS Test. So mystery solved.

Re long boot times, about a week ago I tried out Athine w/o Manila, I have a feeling (since I did not measure it) that load times are shorter. With your ROM it takes well over 2 minutes (I think almost 3 minutes. This is not reasonable).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
As far as the cabs. I have no idea why they would be different. The spl changes how the rom loads so its possible that it could be the culprit.

I am not experiencing boots anywhere close to that long

I got a pm last night regarding the boot. I am working on a solution. I need some files from my office so I will have to go pick them up later today.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
Is there any sort of log file which i could send you, to sort out the long boot?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Theres not one for boot that I know of. Just for program errors. I think I have the issue resolved. I will know for sure once I get my thumb drive from work. The down side is its kitchen related so it means I cant fix the issue with a cab. I will have to start from scratch and rebuild the kitchen. I hope to get it all done today.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
I'll perform the following tests:

I currently have your ROM and radio, with SPL 3.29.

I'll perform an SR and measure the time it takes until I see the little wheel that comes just before the system begins loading my Today items.

Then I'll d/l AGPS and test GPS TTFF with IGO8).

Then I'll backup, perform an HR and the then same test (with a completely clean system except IGO8.

I don't want to use GPS Test as a benchmark, since it's just a utility, and my day to day NAV app is IGO8.

Then I''ll flash the 3.56 SPL, measure again the boot times and GPS TTFF.

This way we might get some clues.

By the way, I see that you're using SPL 3.57? and I read somewhere in XDA that there's 3.59?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
That sounds great. I really appreciate you taking the time to test it out. We may find 3.29 is a better spl. I actually have 3.56.Hard on my phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
OK, partial results - part I

Performed SR.

Measured the time from pressing the SR button till the 1st splash screen appeared, then the time until the "windows match" appeared, then the time the little round clock appeared until the Today screen was filled.

Test began at 18:51:45.

The "windows match" screen appeared at 18:52:22, that is after 37 seconds.

The round clock (don't know what else to call it) appeared at 18:53:30, that is after an additional 1 minute and 8 seconds. So up to now, total net boot time was 1:45 minutes (please check my math!).

The Today screen was filled at 18:54:00, that is after 30 seconds.

I checked the settings I gave in Schaps Advanced Config, Splash Screen. The settings were:

MS timeout on startup: 10000

Carrier timeout on startup: 10000

(both values were initially 30000).

Now regarding GPS TTFF.

Immediately after SR, I refreshed AGPS and started IGO8.

I began measurement immediately after IGO8 got to the map screen, and I went straight to the GPS icon, where IGO enables you to see how many sats are locked.

Test began at 18:55:40.

IGO8 got a fix at 19:06:44, that is after 11:04 minutes (incredible, this is possibly the worst ever I've had).

I then permormed another SR and started GPS Test at 19:30:30. Fix was obtained at 19:44:00, that is 13:30 minutes!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
That is by far the worst gps fix ever.

I am using a new sys for the new rom so hopefully gps fix will be faster. I would also like to see if a different radio changes your results. Some developers say gps fix is related to radio and some say it is not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
Partial results, part II

Performed Clear Storage.

Allowed customization to complete and performed SR.

Test began at 20:05:30.

The "windows match" screen appeared at 20:06:12, that is after 42 seconds. Longer than on the previous test.

The round clock did not appear this time, but the Today screen appeared at 20:07:09, that is after an additional 57 seconds. So up to now, total net boot time was1:39 seconds, slightly lower than the previous test (1:45 minutes).

So now we know that whatever s/w I installed, did not affect the boot process.

Now to the GPS test.

Immediately after SR, I refreshed AGPS and started IGO8.

I began measurement immediately after IGO8 got to the map screen, and I went straight to the GPS icon, where IGO enables you to see how many sats are locked.

Test began at 20:20:49.

After over 13 minutes, I still did not obtain a fix, so I stopped the test, and did not perform the test with GPS Test.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
Well, in my experience, the radio does affect GPS and battery performance. But it is conjunction with the ROM, as well as too many other parameters.

This is what makes this so elusive.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wisniak:
Partial results, Part III

I flashed hardSPL 3.56 and performed a Clear Storage.

Allowed customization to complete and performed SR.

Test began at 20:55:45.

The "windows match" screen appeared at 20:56:20, that is after 35 seconds.

The round clock did not appear this time, but the Today screen appeared at 20:57:20, that is after an additional 60 seconds. So up to now, total net boot time was 1:35 seconds.

So now we know that the HardSPL does not affect the boot process in a significant way.

Now on to the GPS test.

Immediately after SR, I refreshed AGPS and started IGO8.

I began measurement immediately after IGO8 got to the map screen, and I went straight to the GPS icon, where IGO enables you to see how many sats are locked.

Test began at 21:01:05.

GPS fix was obtained at 21:06:50, that is after 5:55 minutes, a very long time, but significantly lower than with the cmonex 3.29 SPL.

This very long TTFF is not normal, but on the other hand, after HRs, I did experience long TTFFs with IGO8, even with WM6 ROMs.

Just to emphasize, Part III was performed with a clean system (besides IGO8, which was required for the test).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Version 5 is up. I have completely rebuilt the rom from the bottom up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] deeznuts:
Ahh, disapointing for me seeing flash 2.1 cooked in. Why not the newer 3.1 thats been out? Is it just a typo and u meant 3.1 is cooked in? I love that new youtube app from diamond but u need flash 3.1 cooked or the only version of flash installed for it to work right. Man, i got so happy finally seeing a new full rom with htc home too. Let me know bro, thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
The youtube app is working great. I cooked 3.1 flash in. It was a typo from the last build.

If you have any issues let me know ill cook another version with flash 3.1 in it. I have a package for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] deeznuts:
Cool, thanks! Ill flash it tonite after work. Whats the pagepool? Maybe i didnt see it but no biggie, can always change it with the new pagepool changer thats out. I love dynamic pagepool, works great everytime. Is there anyway maybe u could pm a download link to this flash 3.1? I need a way to completely delete the flash thats already on it then install flash 3.1, im sure u already know that though. Why did u choose the older flash version? Thanks for the quick response! Pics and apps look good but id say get a nicer dialer, that one reminds me of how my tilt came factory, God i hated that. Maybe try the newer opal dialer. Its up to u of course since this is just my opinion. Thanks again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] nrzm:
good

thanks you bro for your work and am going to download it and try .. but its seems that it 2G version and have no video calls anyway it doesn't matter for that i want to try it i really want to stop just for a week without flashing my device i need a perfect roms i know there is alot perfect here and alot good brains :D:D:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
It has a dynamic pagepool.

The flash I used was 3.1 but it is missing a mui file so ill have to patch it or recook it. The youtube app included works perfect though.

I can cook a version with a fixed 3.1 in the morning. Ill post it first thing tomorrow.

I agree on the dialer. I just havent decided which one i want to use.

EDIT: since i used a 3.1 package you might be able to overwrite it with the cab.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Yes you are correct it does not have video call. Unfortunately I live in the US and our useless carriers dont let us use video call. I may cook a version with 3g if there is enough people looking for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] deeznuts:
Thanks. Ill try it but think a recooked version would be best asu said maybe tomorrow if u get a chance. Check out mbarvians opal dialer. Many on here love it as well as me. Great for us att users since it doesnt have video calling but offers everything else. Not sure if it has smartdialing. If not then id say go with a smart dialing phone app since thats usually a must for all. Dual touch dialer is tried and true and even has video dialing for those who use it. Maybe cook that in with a custom skin that matchs ur cool wm7 theme. I read its pretty easy to skin this dialer. Let me know bro.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Heres the Home Version of the rom with flash 3.1

Here
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Add on dialer added to post 4.

Most of the credit goes to Mbarvian and Kidnamedalbert. I just modified it and added some graphics.

This Dialer will only work on these roms.

As far as I know it is fully functioning. Post any issues.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tmasazo:
can i make a backup and reflash then use the back up or is it better to reinstall all the programs after a flash
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
Since i have used a new build and the majority of the system files have changed, I recommend not using a backup for this upgrade. You will get a much more stable rom if you start from scratch.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] deeznuts:
Wow, really nice dialer! Thanks for the flash 3.1 version, downloading now. Why does this dialer only work on ur rom? Will report back any bugs found, downloading dialer and rom now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aruppenthal:
I had to remove some of the dlls that were already incorporated into the rom. I also edited a few of the dlls to work correctly on the 19214 base. If someone installed it on another rom they would most likely have to hard reset.

I hope the home version is the one you wanted with 3.1 :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] deeznuts:
Oh, i see. Should be just fine now with the flash 3.1, thank you. Gonna flash soon, will report back laer after testing it out all day. Looks very promising!

Any chance someone can mirror the v5 w/3.1?

I've been trying since yesterday (v5), but can't get further than

"Network Timeout".

If not, I'll just keep trying.

My Overview

Nice touch, love the graphics you included throughout the rom! Even the htc home weather is cool, never seen it like that before. Been running it all day today installing all my usual cabs and running them and all is good. Love the opal dialer too! Now for the bad:

1. Has the old problem of no htc home music tab. Yes its there from scratch when u first flash the rom but if u use hhc (which im sure we all do) and take away the profile and launher tabs leaving the other 4 available, theres now no music tab. I remember there was a simple reg edit to fix this but havent seen this problem in a rom in quite some time.

2. No CLeartype in landscape or ie. Now i understand this if u have the omna drivers or that d3d crap thats useless to us tilt users but i dont think this rom hs these drivers installed. You can talk to Garmin since he found a way to get Cleartype working in these new 6.1 roms if you dont know how.

3. This is just more annoying than a bug but why is there a bluetooth icon on the top bar when its turned on? I mean, i know why but have never ever seen it on any cooked rom and probably best left out. Is there anyway to get the annoying bluetooth icon go away for good? I know my bluetooth is turned on by the flashing blue light on my phone, dont need an extra icon there.

These are the only bugs i could find so far and these are very small bugs and just more annoying than probably bugs. These im sure can easily be fixed making this a perfect htc home based rom! Anyway to fix these bro? Also, anyway to make ur opal dialer version universal to work n other phones or roms? Thanks. Ill test some more now, havent tried video or youtube yet. Overall though, very speedy rom and stable.
