Sorry I disturbed u guys with that question of mine. Was tired when I asked and didnt ask properly. I do knew where the Excalibur eT9 changer was and it function but the down button doesnt seem to get it down to the US keyboard so now I figured it out after pressing all the keys that might do that for me. :p

Thanks again & sorry for the pain!:D

[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
did you set up your data connection? There is a handy little program that does the work for you and it is included in the rom

Lockup

Does anyone know why some apps or the phone itself will sometimes lockup with this ROM? It's usually the calendar app when I am adding a new event, and other times it's the settings menu that locks up. I've tried killing their processes from the task manager, but the only way to fix it is to restart the phone.

Also, sometimes the entire phone will lockup when ending a call. Is there any fix to these annoying problems? Otherwise, fantastic ROM, guys! Thanks so much for making it!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:

[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:

See I want the HTC Home layout because I want the weather in a panel but I also want all 4 (missed call, email, mms, txt) in the home panel as well.

I've used Chrome Configurator but to hide and unhide but I'll be damned if you can get it to work.

Anyone figure this one out. I'll be searching

Excalibur Hangs on startup

I flashed to v1.7 and the phone worked great for a month and now it hangs during start up. It gets to the screen that gives the info on the rom and hangs. I've tried to do a hard reset with the two soft keys but it doesnt seem to respond to that and I can never get the master reset screen. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] FokenNewbee:
Settings > 4. Home Screen > Home Screen Layout (Select any Sliding Bar layout)

After you change something in Chrome Configurator make sure you Menu > Exit, then it will ask you to Confirm...Yes and your changes should work.

[HTC Excalibur] The Raddish:
I am seeing this exact behavior on one of my phones. I can't get the comm manager to work at all, it always just hangs.

On my other phone (wife's phone), it sometimes won't boot and just hangs. Hard reset doesn't always work. Usually when this happens it has to sit for a while (sometimes an hour or more, sometimes a day) and then a hard reset works again.

My wife's phone issue may be hardware since this seems to be ROM unspecific. However, the lock-up behavior on my phone is just with the 1.7 version, which happens to be the version I like the most, but I'm not happy about the lock-ups and comm issues.

Any insight would be appreciated. :)
[HTC Excalibur] kmattoo:
So I installed this again and it worked great for a while and then after installing a program on my storage card, the rom starting having issues. Things like Comm Manager wouldn't load up and some of the soft key commands wouldn't go through.

However when I boot up without the storage card and insert the card after a reboot, everything works great again.

Pretty odd. Any suggestions?

IE Settings and IE/Mail Cache Move

Hello All,

I love the ROM! I have 2 questions I cannot seem to find an answer for via searches.

1. Where is the IE settings? They are not where I expected them within Start > Settings.

2. How is everyone moving their IE/Mail cache to their SD cards? Is everyone still using the SurrealNetworks utility? I thought it didnt work on Windows Mobile 6.1

Thanks,

New Dash owner

I have moved through several Smart phones/Pda Phones in the last 2 years. I have had the following:

Blackberry 8700G

Blackberry 8100 Pearl Black/Red

HTC Juno/Shadow

HTC Herald/Wing

T-Mobile G1 Android First Release

T-mobile G1 Dev Release

Now I have purchased a very clean Dash. It came with Ricky n styles 1.7ROM.

I have read almost evry page in this thread. I am blown away athow much support has gone into getting these ROMS working, and am thrilled with the performance of this phone. I am not used to not haveing a touch screen, however, now, after a week of using it, I almost would pref not to have one. If only we could get a browser to perform like the G1's.

I give much props to you guys for making this ROM happen, and make it run as smooth as it is. Not a single ROM on my wing could make that phone perform like this one does. You guys rock.

MMS Icon on Messagin Window is Different

Hello ALL,

When comparing the Rose ROM to Ricky's 6.1, I noticed the MMS icon on the Rose messaging window (where you see all your email accounts, text, MMS, etc) is different fmr the Ricky 6.1 ROM. The Ricky 6.1 MMS icon was much easier to identify as MMS since it didnt look exactly like a IMAP Mail account icon. Is there any way to change this?

Thanks,

thanks for this rom, i have been using it for a month and only had to mayor issues

1) Got stuck on boot screen 2 times and had to hard reset( thats why i love sprite backup)

2)The camera album never shows the pictures just keeps loading (havent solve it)

other than that is a great rom, fast, nice looking
[HTC Excalibur] timothyjok:
There is definitely issues with the storage card. If I try to use a sound file from the sc in a mms message it won't transfer most of the time. If I pick one of the first few that open in the list it will transfer it but any further down it won't. Also the size of the picture it sends in an mms is very small. opening the full screen option makes no difference. Hard reset made no difference
[HTC Excalibur] swest215:
Thankx for the hard work

Just want to say thankx to all for your hard work in creating these ROM and the support that you give for them, I have a dash and really have no need for any other phone, whenever anybody comments on my dash I referr them here (although half of them didn't understand what to do?*lol*)
[HTC Excalibur] Ravok:
Hey stylez, like I said before, great ROM, thx to you and Ricky and NRG.

This issue I've had randomly, both on this ROM and on Kavana's, but sometimes I"ll view my Contacts and go out of it for whatever reason, sometimes making a call sometimes texting sometimes just cause I was getting a number for someone else, and it won't let me back into my contacts without rebooting. I close it in CeleTask, but it still won't reopen. Any ideas? It happens much less with you guys ROM, but it still occurs maybe once a week or so. No big deal, just wondering if I'm alone. :)

edit to add: I did do a hard reset, twice now. Just an fyi :D
[HTC Excalibur] hovax615@hotmail.com:
never had that problem(but i only used ricky's version of kavana for a week & the rose rom for a week)i'm using kavana's new wm6.1 rom not the WWE one but never had that problem
[HTC Excalibur] kentrey:
Love this rom but I have a few minor gripes. Ill add them in seperate threads cuz im at work typing from my phone and kinda busy

1. In the rickeywatt version, when entering user names on websites, it would remember formery used user names and email addresses. It was convenient to not always having to enter all my email addresses to sign in to certain websites. I still have predictive text but it dont save new words

2. The light is really dim. Its hard to see in daylight
[HTC Excalibur] kentrey:
3. Outlook Email always randomly pops up. Im thinking this might have something to do with the Jogger bar turned on. I just turned it off and it hasnt popped up since.

4. When I hit the Start button, it always starts out in my documents on my device. The rickeywatt version would start you off in the last folder you were in. Its a pain in the ass to browse through folder after folder to get to my skyfire and games.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Sounds to me like 2, 3 and 4 are just issues with you not knowing how to use your phone. LOL
[HTC Excalibur] lubs:
I've been using this ROM for a couple of weeks and although it's pretty, it should be considered Beta IMO.

First off is the Comm Manager. If you want to turn on Wifi, you shouldn't have to potentially restart your phone, cross your fingers and try again. The CM seems to load more reliably as the days have passed.

There is also a memory leak either in the ROM or in the applications. I notice there's about 1 MB or RAM left and no apps running after some time. I use Free Mem and it frees up a couple hundred KB. I have to restart the phone at least a couple of times a day.

Here's a strange problem: I sent a text message and now it's permanently in my Outbox. Every time I start the phone, it gets sent to my friend. I cannot delete the message. Thank god it's not one of my business contacts or this would have been very embarrassing.

The battery life seems to be worse than on previous ROMs.

I have some other gripes, these are the big ones. I'm going to downgrade soon, and eventually switch phones. The S620 has been good to me, but alas, the little OMAP850 is only capable of so much.
[HTC Excalibur] kentrey:
Ill give you that, kinda. Ive had 4 different roms on my phone and got used to all of them except this one. I went through every setting and never seen any brightness setting or outlook email off setting.

I would really appreciate help on #1

Help.

I'm losing memory over time. It just started recently. I've been using 1.6 for some time now and have had no issues. However, now the phone will just get down to 3MB of memory available and I cannot load applications until I restart the phone?!
[HTC Excalibur] fletch319:
Loss of memory

I have been having the same quick memory loss problems as a lot of users when txt messaging. Notice I said "a lot" and not all. The responses I have seen have said reboot or it's not happening to me so it's your problem. Even the creators of the ROM have seen unwilling to help out.

Today I was able to track it down to a process called HTCActivityLogExe.exe. On MY phone that process increases it's memory footprint by almost 1MB for every single txt message I get. I don't recall this happening when I first loaded the ROM so why it's happening now is beyond me. So rather than just saying reboot after ever 5 txt's would someone care to actually help troubleshoot this to help out the community as a whole? Unfortunately I haven't been able to dig up any info on this process to know what might be causing this or why it's happening now vs before etc.

Killing the task obviously frees up a ton of memory and the phone still seems to operate normally. Thoughts?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I repeat b4 posting do a hard-reset none of us are magicians...

Sorry for my blunt answer but it's kinda common sense to do a hard-reset if your phone is playing up....
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I lol the creators arn't having the problem thats why we can't understand how come some people have the issue and not others?

Over 2000++ "no specifics" dowloads of 1.7 alone and still a small proportion having issue.....
[HTC Excalibur] fletch319:
HTCActivityLogExe

I totally understand that since it's not happening to everyone it's hard to troubleshoot. But obviously a hard reset does nothing (only temporary) and I have tried to at least share some of my troubleshooting information I have found but now I'm hoping your knowledge will come in handy. I'm willing to do some further testing to dig in deeper but the inner workings of the ROM are your specialty :)

Any thoughts on the HTCActivityLogExe.exe process?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I do understand and not mean to come across as an ass, what happens if you kill HTCActivityLogExe.exe as soon as phone boots?

Have you tryed reflash and hard-reset as lots of bad flashes, also the ROM is ported from a phone with far more resorcesses than the dash.
[HTC Excalibur] fletch319:
Right after rebooting I terminate the HTCActivityLogExe.exe process and as far as I can tell everything works fine. I have tried all my apps and haven't noticed any issues.

I have also tried hard-resets. I have not reflashed 1.7 after my initial flash. But I'm not sure how reflashing is going to change how this app behaves. I can try and give it a shot tonight. It looks like this process is executed all over the place in the registry. So maybe it's just a tracking app for debugging or troubleshooting purposes?
[HTC Excalibur] fletch319:
I did some digging through the rest of the forums and it looks like there are numerous versions of this HTCActivityLogExe.exe app. A lot of them have an enormous memory leak and some don't. I was also able to track down that this process gets launched when you use the HTCSlidingHomePanel. The weatherupdateservice gets called which in turns loads the HTCactivity app.

For those who just want their phone to run without running out of memory every 5 txt's do the following:

Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Apps\HTCSlidingPanel and delete the "Module" key which has a value referencing the weather app. When you reboot, WeatherApp.exe, WeatherUpdateService.exe and HTCActivityLog.exe no longer load. Apparently they are all part of the weather app.

So perhaps those who are not having issues are not using this home screen?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Taken from earlier on in the thread, thanks for finding it again, using the HTC Homescreen still no issues. "Means you can't use the HTC Weather if you delete the key"
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
That I won't do for an issue that is fixed with a reboot and has just started happening out of the blue after the phone has been working flawlessly.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
+10 rep for you, friend.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Coolio, there you go then just a soft-reset needed :)

I tend to reclaim RAM with free RAM after closing programs rather than trying to reclaim @ a later date, hope that helps.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
Yeah, I do that all the time. It's trained into my fingers. :)

double-tap botton joggr

It's just like Fletch was saying it gets to a point where that doesn't work. It's down to like 3-5MB and "freeing" memory doesn't work. I killed the task and got, this time around, 4MB+ back. Which is a lot better than restarting the phone.

Looks like Weather Apps have a bit further to go in the efficiency department.
