Hello TAI

In order to solve the auto-triggering WiFi bug, is it possible if I were to remove the 'WiFi ON-OFF' file from the directory. What are the consequences?

I miss the V17 German Version (21232 GER: ?? ) to download :-(

Can anyone help me?

thanks a lot
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Macs_mzz:
Hi everyone.

I would say I'm still pretty much happy of V13 and I hesitate a bit to move on to subsequent ones.

The WiFi issue seems bit systematic from V14 onwards. Am I wrong?

Thank you for advise.

Thumbcal Seems Corrupt on V17

Tai,

Wonderful work! Testing V17 now. One issue came up with my Herm 100. Could not launch Thumbcal from the Golden Globe or from te executable in Program Files. An error bubble pops up saying:

"Error

File Corrupted !

Please run a virus-check, then reinstall the application."

I tried to hard reset, but no luck. Not sure what to do.

Wifi turns on and off randomly with V17

I have the same Wifi toggle issue, along with the slow internet explorer. I have a Herm 100 running V17 with radio 1.56.70.11.

KJ
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cyberdroxxx:
Great work TAI, however I am reluctant to use v17 since it consume lots of memory space. Your v16 isn't bad at all. Keep up the good work..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aznbballer:
Great ROM, wifi fix

Spent an entire day going through various ROMs, this one was by far the best!

As for the wifi problem, I only noticed the issue pop up after I connected to my wireless network. It seems that it automatically tries to connect to any network that has been set up.

So, go to

Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN -> Menu -> Network Cards and delete all the networks that are listed. Wifi won't search for something that doesn't exist.

Hope this helps!

Guys, need H E L P!!! ---> SOLVED Behaviour due to corrupted "My Documents" on SD (still a pain though!!!)

yesterday an unsuccesful ActiveSync connection was stucking my dev and resulting in corrupting pOutlook executable (if I navigate to \windows and try launching it just does nothing)

I'm pretty happy with my setup therefore I'd rather avoid starting again with another flash so I'd be very grateful to try recovering my setup with a mercyful soul posting the exe for me.

Many thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Macs_mzz:
Hi aznbballer.

Does this mean that you won't be able to keep settings for your favourite wireless lan?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aznbballer:
looks like it. a small inconvenience though compared to the battery drain the wifi search does every 20 secs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Alcibiade:
Cant believe the Wifi problem is still there :(

Other Roms from the same built dont have it

One request please please please, can you make a v17 of the Golden Globe - Black ?

Pleeeeaaase !!!!

Thumbcal issues with V17

Anybody run in to the following issue that came up with my clean Herm 100 running V17 and radio 1.56.70.11:

Could not launch Thumbcal from the Golden Globe or from the executable in Program Files. When I try, an error bubble pops up saying:

"Error

File Corrupted !

Please run a virus-check, then reinstall the application."

I don't have the cab for this customized Thumbcal, hence not sure what else to do.

Bluetooth headset loosing connection on V17

Noticed that my Plantronics BT headset looses connection after about 20-30 min into a call (Herm on wall power). I have to turn BT off, then on in order to reconnect. Did not have that before. Not sure if this is a V17 ROM issue or Radio issue.

so i checked again, looks like wifi is still turning on and off. sooooooo no fix afterall

I got the exact same error when I installed V17 onto my Hermes with a brand new (blank) 8GB microSDHC card. Are there any fixes for this yet? Thumbcal in the V16 release worked fine. Too bad I did not archive "\Storage Card\Program File\ThumbApps" from the V16 firmware.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ad454:
I reflashed V16, zipped up the ThumbApps directory, reflashed V17, and unzipped the ThumbApps directory back onto the storage card. Now Thumbcal works great under V17 and the Thumbcal_107_helper provides a valid reg code.

I have attached the ThumbCal V16 zip file for those others that want it working under V17 without having to reflash their phone 2 additional times. Enjoy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ad454:
Unfortunately, when I installed "letsjapanno5x.cab", which I need for Japanese support, onto the V17 firmware, it completely disabled the (Start) - button, making the firmware unusable. I can't even access the "Settings" anymore. :(

This is strange, since "letsjapanno5x.cab" installed and worked fine on the V16 firmware, and did not affect the start button. I am following the instructions specified below which worked on many of the previous TAI firmwares:

http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/1245186-post227.html

I live in Japan, so it is important to have Japanese character support and input method. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

No SMS

Hi,

first of all. very big thx TAI for your great work.

I downloaded

21500/build 21500 Manila2D V14

Download:

Black: Manila2D_Black_V14_GER.rar

on my Hermes and it runs and looks very well. But I`m not able to open or to write a SMS. Does anyone know where the problem is?

Thx in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Macs_mzz:
Guys,

From what I can see and from my personal experience I would suggest V13 to whoever is just looking for a ROM to use and not to play.

Since I have it (TAI you did really GREAT!!!) all my temptations to evaluate new ROMs are vanished.

The problems I have are really minor and not really bothering. Probably just depending from the few resources offered by Hermes w.r.t. the demands of Manila GUI.

P.S. It just bothers me (but this is not depending from the ROM, I suppose) that I am not succeding to upgrade the RADIO (even though till now I could always flash what I wanted!!!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] naveen:

Bugs

I found 2 bugs in the new V18

1. "Messaging" when rebooting the phone.

2. The 3G icon keeps on dissapearing every 20 seconds.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
"Bug 1" above manifests with V17 on my phone. I just close it and TouchFLO loads normally. My 3G icon comes on and off, but I figure that is due to network coverage.

KJ
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Hissing Syd:
Great ROM

Well done, Tai, for another great ROM.

For me, v18 is the best yet. I prefer the M2D front end, yours has all the good WM6.5 menus, pop-ups etc, it syncs with Vista, and it even passes my contacts to my car kit.

As far as I am concerned, this is a keeper.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bigeneral:
i notice the same. i only have 2g network running, bt, wifi and 3g are off. the G icon is keep on switching to the wifi icon like searching for something and back to the G icon.

any idea?

Update Logs

Excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't it be logical to release update logs with each release?! This would make it simple for everyone to track the bugs and fixes with each release as well as adding new found bugs to a list for later fix and release.

Every time we upgrade a ROM, it seems that while some issues are resolved, far more are appearing which hinders the overall functionality of the OS. As there are no update logs with the releases, there is know way of telling what is actually fixed, added or improved.

TAI, I find your ROMs to be the best I've ever used and I look forward to further updates!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
Thanks for your time to tell me to make a update logs or change logs. I didn't have all the time to write change logs (fixed or added), i have all the days to looking for another job and i have also a big family at home. I do homework with my kids and help my wife to cooking or cleaning at home. When i have free time (only 1-2 hours) to do something for me, i will learning or do my homework (Further professional education). Also i have really a little bit time to cooked some roms for Hermes community. I hope, you will be understanding me why i don't want to do it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Tokoloshi:
Hi Tai, thanks for the response. Totally understandable that you simply do not have the time to maintain logs. Family comes first.

Maybe as a suggestion, some other users could help with this. I for one would be more than happy to offer to help out when possible, and I'm sure others could offer feedback as well. Using update logs would also make your life easier too, saving you time when releasing updates.

Thanks again for the great work Tai.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
Yeah, it would be great if someone to make a list bugs or something like cook in and pm me or send me the list. I will be sure to give my best for you.

Testing V17

Hi,

I'm testing v17 at this moment, but will soon upgrade to the v18.

ROM looks great, good job there Tai.

One small remark on the layout design - noticed that my battery icon turn into a red icon when I am recharging. This seems a little strange as recharging is a good thing, it add power to the battery. Logic dictates this icon should be green (and no, I am not Vulcan...)

But as already stated, only a minor remark.

Regards,

Webster188

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] geraldoak:
hi Tai, downloaded your Manila2d_V18, the problem of Wifi auto turn on and off problem still there.

When i look at Communication manager, the Wifi will auto turn to On , then off straight a way. it occur every 40 sec.

tested during this on/off time, it causes menu and program lagging and battery drain.

Is there anyway to let me update the wifi module ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
Sorry, i really don't know why you get wifi on/off like this. I have checked it when i tested the ROM many time and didn't get the wifi bug. I am so sorry but i can't help you. Maybe i will try next time to change another CommManager.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Hissing Syd:
Hi Tai,

I too have the same problem with Wifi switching on by itself when I open the Comm Manager.

But I can put up with this minor incovenience in this otherwise great ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
Sorry about that, i have found the wifi bug on new manila version. Next time i will turn back to manila previous version. V14 with old manila doesn't have wifi bug.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] geraldoak:
Hi Tai, you did a tremendous brilliant ROM. this is the only issue i facing, battery drain due to the wifi off/on, the battery only can last for less than 8 hours for my usage, but Manila_2D_V14 battery life last for 1.5 days

FYI, i did the below troubleshooting, the wifi bugs still there.

1. turn off the Manila 2D, soft reset phone

2. turn off active sync,

3. upgrade to another version of Comm Manager.

Manila 2D Lite Version

Hi Tai, I love your manila 2D ROMS for hermes. For me they are the best ROMS. But the last version with a Lite Version was v14 ? I did'nt see any links for Lite versions (or ultra lite) in the v15, 16, 17 and 18. Thats why I am still using v14. Continue with the greate job.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SaturnusDJ:
Very nice job indeed.

I appreciate you ported 6.5 to HERMES but I don't like that new 'start menu' style MS created. What is the latest 6.1 ('normal' start menu) you have built?

I would most like a very lite build but with Manila2D. Anyone suggestions?

Edit:

I found out the LITE version of the ROM I have used for months does include M2D this also was your latest 6.1 ROM if I am right. So, using v10 Black Lite now. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cibermac:
I don´t like either the Start Menu from WM 6.5. But to fix that, I am using Quick Menu, so I never enter in the new interface. I like the old style o fWM 6.1, but I only can see the videos my camera record using HTC Album and the "Photos" aba of the Manila Interface, if I use a ROM based on WM 6.5. I realy don´t know why, but the combination I use is working well for me.

I am thinking about use a new lite rom from TAI, based on the Titanium interface (with QUick Menu of course) to see if I can get more free memory. Does anyone know if Titanium Interface is less memoty consumer than Manila ?

Why is ActiveSync always active and resist in memory? It can't be stoped. I stop him from task manager, after 1-2min it's again open..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N3oN:
Tnx TAI!

So when i go to phone settings, network tab, and select from the drop-down menu on the left the network selection mode to manual, the phone should start the search for all the available network and show a pop-up window with the list of the founded network to choose the one you want to link with... in this way the phone lock the network to the chosen one and when there isn't that network coverage available show a notification window to ask if choosing another network or leave the phone without coverage.

Anyway neither the Find Network button don't work, that button allow you to start the network search manually even if you have the network selection set to automatic

Tnx so much for your work!!
