i've found i have the same problem. i'm searching deeper for answers, and i'll post here if i find anything that helps, but basically so far i've tried the htc excalibur wiki instructions for setting up mms for the tzones 5.99 plan and it doesnt work on the rose rom.
[HTC Excalibur] jbailey49:
I tryed that first and it didn't work. I had no problem with mms until i switched to this rom. Other than the mms problem I love this rom and the last thing i want to do is downgrade.:eek:

Comm Manager

Thanks a lot to NRGZ28, Ricky and Stylez for building this rom, I appreciate your work very much. The Rom is pretty stable, and I didn't have any problems so far, except a gprs configuration mistake caused by Connection Setup, but I corrected it easily.

Well, Comm Manager options not fitting in one page seemed to annoy me, so by modifying its reg and limiting the SupportedFunctions value to 4, last two options (data connection and ringer) became invisible and others fitted in single screen. (The slider on the right is still visible though :) Then I tried changing DisableButtonText to 0, it made the Comm Manager graphical and all config options fit in a single screen easily.
[HTC Excalibur] Biggie Da Dansa:
lol any help? i hate having the messages like this lol its so frustatiing

HTC Streaming

I'm trying out the ROM again, and i noticed that when i try out the m.youtube.com video, it would start the stream program but all it says is connecting... and that's it. nothing else.

Can i reset or play around with parameters to get it working.

Is the streaming program working for others?

Thanks

I just up'd this crap to my cr-I phone and it completely bricked it. You better hope that Jobs gives me back my money.... or I swear, I will completely over-pay and be subjugated to a carrier of their choosing... all over again!!!!:mad:

On a lighter note:

Great Job guys... I have been using rickys v20 (supermod...my own personal flavor) for the better part of eight months... and have had zero desire to upgrade. Until Now.

Flashed it... and away it went. Again, hats off.... super job!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
glad it worked lol, happy dre day :)
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
Ya think they forget about Dre....

Still Pimpin...

Ok. Been using the build for a day solid... tinkering, tweaking and beating.

Couple of notes:

1. Once Omap is clocked above stock... this build is blazingly fast. Very nicely done.

2. Comm Mgr workaround I found to be pretty slick. Just enable comm mgr as an app template from the myapps slider. It launches immediately with no lag (for those of you having issues with it)

3. The Snooze function does not seem to work on the alarms... no can you select days from a checkbox list. Just an observation.

Also... do you have a work around to that will hide the msg center icons when there is no unchecked vmail,sms, mms etc. ??

Again excellent build quality... nicely cooked chefs!
[HTC Excalibur] ygb:
Concerning volume control (at least for the loudspeaker- i assume the same for headphones) it is the 'system sounds' in your current profile that controls the volume level of media players. The problem is that when you crank that up, the warning sounds also play loud, so i ended up changing those individual sounds to vibrate, and leaving the general system sounds on high.

This ROM isn't based on Kavana's, if that's what you're implying.

2 issues

so i flashed to 1.7a the other days n so far evrything is great except for 2 lil things. 1. is i cant download from internet explorer and 2. for sum reason outlook mail keeps opening up randomly. any ideas on how to fix?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well I didn't cook "Kavana's"... but I think Kavana did! :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
i think there is a cab install somewhere here to download and save files thru internet explorer. o know opera lets you, i think, right guys?

and the outlook mail opening i dont think is random. it kept happening to me, and i changed the joggr setting for tapping the top or the bottom part of it. remove outlook mail in these settings cuz the joggr is sensitive sometimes and that is whats opening it.
[HTC Excalibur] drifterrolly:
sometimes a white screen will come up and i have to reset the phone.

any clue what could cause this?

If what you want is to disable the eT9 predictive text input, then set the following registry key

[hkey_local_machine\software\tegic\et9\ime'>

Press left soft key

"TextInputMode"=dword:00000000

(default is 1, enabled)

close the registry, open word o any application to write something and prove that it works
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Or even easier go to a text input box FN + SPACE choose ABC, no need to edit the registery :D

Quick Update/Thank you

Wife love's the Phone and Software. When she's happy I'm happy.

No major software issues that we've found.

One minor issue is updating weather program. I've got it selected to update automatically but it will only update if I select WiFi.

Other wise.. Opera Mini has been working great, coverage is excellent.

Upgraded to larger size battery works great 2100maH. (phone still fits in case).

Oh Is there a way to Password protect the phone when it goes into keylock?

Thanks,

Bob

Button re-assignment?

I would like to assign a new program to the SYM/Camera button, as I never use it (specifically a program /Windows/BTAudioToggle.exe). I know there are various ways to do this, but I'm wondering if there is any special suggestions given what's cooked into Rose v1.7.

I am not opposed to tapping the JOGGER either, if someone can give me a quick tutorial on how to do that.

Thanks!

memory leak

ive notice that the fones memory drops extremely low completely out of nowhere...and this is after the pagepool modification..i would start out with out 25mb memory and in bout an hr i would only have 14mb and then another hr im down to under 10mb....anyone else have this issue...any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] nic3a:
I love this build 1.7 and i use it alot. however i noticed a major "flaw" in the rose rom. Is there a possibility to make this rom more battery friendly or at least similar to the "original" Kavana and Ricky roms?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Do you use an extended battery?
[HTC Excalibur] Nismo300zx:
OK like am i the only one that's having a memory leak...this is ridiculous..is there a fix for this or something...and dont says its the phone because i was runnings rickys rom with the same programs and settings and this didnt happen..now can sum1 help me please

this rom still has alot of bugs that need to be worked out.
[HTC Excalibur] blackshin0bi:
no, you are not alone. i had a huge memory leak and it was very annoying i think the process was something like htcactivitymonitor or notification monitor something but anyway my phone always ended up with like nothing free and i had to revert to the versions before this. if the memory leak did not exist i would be using this version because i did like it.
[HTC Excalibur] Nismo300zx:
do u know wat this process is for?...and are you sure the memory leak issue isnt in the older version..i really dont want to downgrade the rom. this version is great..xcept for the bugs like this and other lil things
[HTC Excalibur] dxter:
Look for a program called "Automatic Keylock", it does the job.

the software comes with a screen saver that shows phoe status, clock, last calla voice mails etc.. and you can set a password for it..

I know its not the only way to do it, but this one work great for me.
[HTC Excalibur] hooddy:

I haven't had much luck with Automatic Keylock on the Rose-based ROMs. I get an error about not being able to establish a keyboard hook. I have tried to install both on the phone and on the storage card.

Any advice?
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
ROM looks great guys - All 3 of you !

Is there any chance you can add the "SMS Pack" option that was in the older Ricky ROMs. I would like to start using this as my primary ROM - but there are a bunch of SMS's on my other S620 that I need to keep hold of.

OR - If there is a way to copy over the database containng the SMS's from the other S620 to this one I would love to know.

Thanks for all the great work - Keep it up.

Im using Rose v1.7 R&S remake... and it works great.. try to do a reset..

The only thing i notice with this rom is a bug when i get into de photo album, or sometimes in the contacts menu.. i scroll down and it goes up again.. so i have to keep scrolling until it stop doing it.. (thats in the contacts) but in the photo album i can see any other photo than the first one, cuz every time y change it to the next photo, it was like if i press the home button in my Pc keyboard, and goes back to the top.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Sounds like a battey problem as no one else has mentioned this in the thread, has been mentioned on other threads and the issue tends to be battery, would advise an extended battery from ebay etc.

[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
I've had some nasty problems with this ROM, mainly a memory leak of some sort... almost daily I'd have to reboot my phone because it didn't have enough memory to open ANYTHING... I couldn't even get to my text messages. I had no pix, files, or any software installed besides what came with the ROM. I do have quite a few Contacts.

Anyways, I gave it a hard reset, and we'll see what happens this time. However this time I installed the eT9 cab in the link below, and now my predictive text works perfect again... I made the comment that predictive text wasn't learning earlier in this thread but got no reply... The one below works properly.

[HTC Excalibur] DonutYankee:
I've also had a severe memory leak problem. I'm only posting this now because this ROM was perfect until this problem showed up over the past couple of days. It seems to have come out of nowhere. The main culprit seems to be the messaging program. After exchanging about 10 or so text messages both ways, I notice the phone starts to lag. Upon opening CeleTask, I notice that my free RAM has gone down from about 17 MB to around 1. I basically have to reboot every 5 minutes or so just from texting. I'm sorry I can't be more specific on the problem, as it has only come up over the last couple of days. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] blackshin0bi:
bingoooooooooooooo!!!
[HTC Excalibur] nightburn:
Many of us are not experiencing any of these problems.

-Do a hard reset after flashing the ROM, if you still have problems reflash and hard reset AGAIN.

-Don't use the pagepool tweak. I've found that this tweak just makes the ROM run slower and have more unexplainable issues.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thank you for taking the words out of my mouth... Have said many a time about this and also people should realize how many people downloaded the ROM with no complaints.

cant transfer file from another phone via bluetooth.. have done hard reset twice, and re-flash it too.. but still when i try to transfer a file or a contact from another phone (have tried with Motorola, Siemens and Nokia) it says transfer canceled on the other phone...

[HTC Excalibur] EarthQ:
Pagepool size effects?

What are the effects of changing the pagepool size?

- Less pagepool more RAM for programs but less responsive?

- More pagepool less RAM for programs but quicker ROM?

- Recommended values?

- Impact on batery life?

Thanks!!
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
Good Question about the PagePool.

(For Rose Rom) My question is what picture size to use for the stock contacts that will show the best resolution on the incoming or outgoing calling screen.

Mine have blurry pixels now and it sure takes away from the new clean face-lift.

? X ?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
pfunkside,

Re: PagePool the device has a standard 12MB PagePool so therefore you can decrease the PagePool size and increase the ammount of available RAM, what you are doing in the process is decreasing speed to increase RAM, i.m.o i'd leave it stock.

Re: Pictures will get back to you with rez i used, did use pics taken with better camera than the Dash "n73 & DSLR" and cropped then resized with GIMP.

stylez.
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
Using a stardard 3x optical point & shoot digital camera.

Cropped/resized pics originally for the old ricky v. 24. Outlook saved most but they show up stretched on 1.7a Rose on incoming outgoing screen.

Just wouldn't mind replacing some to make it nice and tidy again.

dimensions or any helpful tips welcome.

Thanks Pfunk
[HTC Excalibur] EarthQ:
Hmm... in theory increasing the amount of RAM means less battery life, as RAM content needs to be always being refreshed.

Is there a way to dynamically adjust the poolsize (ie. reghack) or just before flashing?

If it would, it may make sense to have kind of tool/script to adjust it depending on what you plan to run on the device (i.e. if you need to run a GPS navigation with big maps you may need more RAM, or play a game you may need more speed).

BTW, HUGE thanks to NRG, Ricky, Stylez and rest of forum guys, and of course to MS & HTC for making such cool releases possible :D :D :D

OTOH, what is the bug reporting/feedback mechanism? PMs? online bugtracker (Google Code, SF.net...)? This or dedicated thread?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
The PagePool tool is not changing the Physical amount of RAM in the device - hence I do not see how it could possibly affect battery. You are still powering the same amount of RAM - just changing what it is used for on the device.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thank you for pointing that out as it's only available RAM that is increased, also tasks still use the same ammount of RAM no matter how much RAM you have.

Unexpected Shutdowns

Hi again ..

I am experiencing unexpected shutdowns with this new ROM.

I was thinking it is due to an old battery (it does not last much lately), but it seems that it only happens when using PIE.

I tried then switch to Opera and occurs too :confused::confused:

I am going to try to get a new battery, but in the meantime ...

Anyone with this problem?

No issue mentioned there was the whole white screen incident but sorted by a hard-reset did you try a hard-reset before flashing another ROM?

Was you using the default PagePool?

Give it a go bruv as for some reason with the Rose seems to be alot of bad flashes, nearly every issue people have brung up has been fixed by a hard-reset, except the fixes placed on post 1, should really update post 1 to say hard-reset after flash and you spot on keeping default pagepool :)

That was actually a valid question... no "funnies" implied. I'm at 1.4 cuz.. there's nothing else to do. The fact that the Excalibur is not my main device anymore, has a lot to do with it too. But you guys, can still improve on it.. right ? So what's next ??? :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I was only joshin back bruv as you tend to leave silly comments usaully :p

Same here the Excalibur is not my main device "really should flip my sig", the ballz is in Ricky's court and since we both have familys to take care of time is strapped, to be honest my personal feeling is that lot's of people are using the ROM if we add much more it will be bloated and most of the issues like previous statement can be overcome.

So just like you were sitting on it :)
