Icons and Graphics...

It's my understanding that most of these builds where "originally" extracted from RUU's from devices that had VGA graphics, where as "our" Hermes are QVGA... so most of the Graphics for the QVGA builds were either from other builds, 6.5 graphics that were resized or graphics that someone recreated.

Search on *_DPI_96*.* in Josh'es 21198 Kitchen and you can narrow it down from there...

There are a lot of kitchen qvga graphics, themes and icon packages here at XDA (and other places) if you use Search... Most of which you can change to them in the Registry manually where "it" is associated to an icon... or installed for you by someone's CAB.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MAFoElffen:
How many additional programs have you installed? I was having this problem... sort of. I "reorganized" my desktop under \Windows\Startup by creating new folders (such Applications, Utilities) and moved the shortcut links to appropriate folders such as these and others that already existed, such as Accessories and Tools. Then I went in the Registry...

HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Folder_Name...

;and added/changed...
Icon (string) \path_to_icon\icon_name

...That way it kept my "Start Up" menus short in page-length and organized... and if you go to:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCScroll\

; you can play with the dword setting for :
velocity_factor (dword) xxxxxxx ; 20000 is default...

Until you can tweak it to fit how "you" touch and move "your" screen. Slowing it down will let the page-rate be able to display a moving menu, display a smoother "scroll" and "catchup" with the graphics better...

Hope some of these ideas helped.

OK. This may be off subject, and my apologies if it is. :eek:

After reading thru a few days of posts on this thread and replying to a few posts here- It hit me...

Even thru some of the flames and problems on this thread... I both admire and feel for Josh. I feel for you that are having problems, where a myriad of circumstances, app's that you installed, different devices that fall into the umbrella of "Hermes", different carriers that you are trying to go thru and how you went about something that might have caused something else to occur...

2 years ago, I would not have imagined that my "hermes" was capable of doing what it does today! The processor is not fast by "todays" standards. The ROM and RAM is a third to a quarter the capacity of what is in new devices "today." The graphics of new devices are ... do I need to go on?

I applaud and am grateful to Josh and XDA for giving new life and functionality to what might have been an outdated device that was originally designed to do ... and what now is my "Favorite." It is "now" faster and vastly more functional than the day I bought it. Yes, the Hermes has it's limits and boundaries in hardware... But I think we've been pushing those limits every day...

The flaming... well personally, I try to remain "constructive." I try to remain helpful and respectful of others. A lot of people have helped me and been patient... I always have something to learn and if it helps me... I am not afraid to share it.

Sorry, just had to say it... Maybe "some" here will ponder before they hit the "submit" button or share something constructive to someone when it helped them...

Some of you here- cook your own ROM's... Remembering, it is a both a previledge and courtesy to test something different or a different perspective of that same flavor. I feel we TEST ROM's, Applications, Kitchens, etc. to expand our own boundaries and to find both Bugs AND Solutions.

it was the titanium customizer draining the battery josh with it disabled the battery lasts alot lot longer but when it is enabled the battery only lasts for 2days at the most

thank you for all your good hard work josh

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MAFoElffen:
Battery Drain

I'm curious... Was it the "Customizer" or the actual Titanium "Menu" being loaded? If it was Titanium, was there anything additional you had loaded into that Menu that made a data connection? ...Such as Titanium Weather?

I did noticed that after I had installed Titatium Weather, the "Update" was set as a default to update

every minute

! It seemed like my phone was constantly connecting and disconnecting to a data connection. This drained my baterry faster and would slow the system down. When I changed that setting to 720 (minutes, same as 12 hours), it was a lot better.

Noob here.

Thanks Josh. Great work on the ROM. Clearly you are very talented and my prayers are that you would be in a new job quickly.

Thanks also goes to the community. Great forums & a great wiki.

I have had my hermes for two days and it is now:

Sim unlocked (tested & confirmed)

CID unlocked

Has Hard SPL 2.10

has Josh's Dark Winter 3G V15 installed

i disabled both of them my battery use to last for a full 7 days when i flashed joshs 21501_Springtime rom and tested it for aweek to see how it takes to the phone i noticed the battery only lasts for 2days at the most in stand-by mode.

this is what i done to mind goto start, settings, today, items tab, untick windows default, and tick date

i didn't add titatium weather because HTC Home has it built in i've always used it

i think the titatium menu interface does slow the phone down and i found drained the battery but without it enabled i've found my phone runs alittle faster and the battery lasts alot longer

hope this helps you out as it's helped me out alot

Best Regards

A noob question:

I use the Cingular/ATT Microsoft Direct Push email and on my Blackjack my calendar seemed to update automatically as well as my inbox. With Josh DarkWinter 3G V15 my inbox updates but not my calendar. How would I enable the Calendar to update automatically with ATT Direct Push?

Thanks,

Hey Josh can the Super Ram hack on the Kaiser be implimented on the Hermes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pslocom:
Thanks for the reply but I'm in love with Titanium, it's the context, right click, options, whatever you call it menu that I don't like. In Josh's screenshot (Included below) it's the bottom middle picture.

I'm just not a big fan, so I'm looking for either his ROM without that piece, or a way to disable/take it out.

If anyone knows of a way I can just disable it myself that would be fine.

Thanks Again,

Caller ID missing

Hello Josh

really nice nad fast ROM

One of my issues is that I missing Caller NAME when Im getting call

I just see an number but no NAME from my contacts and its really there.

Anybody can help me with this?

Big thanks

Oh thank you sooo much. Now this ROM is the best. So far no problems at all. Every so often I wish it ran a little smoother in spots but it's WAY better than the ROM that was on there before.

Hey guys. I have two questions, would be very appreciated for any information...

1. Recently I have a problem with Internet connection. Every app is working fine (IE, Google maps, Skype, I can even ping any host from Task manager), except QIP (russian IM for ICQ and Gmail) and IM+. QIP keeps saying "Can't find network" and IM+ is saying "Connection to ICQ server failed! Please check your connection" for every IM service added into it. No matter whether I have GPRS or WiFi or Activesync connection. Some time before everything was just great and I didn't do anything related to network on my Hermes.

I tried soft reset, doesn't help. Do you have any idea how may I debug the problem..?

2. Is it possible to install some 3G dialer over 21501? If yes, which one would you advise?

Thanks guys!

P.S. regarding point 1. Google maps working fine, but Google Latitude stopped working... very strange.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Of course you can :)

Just about any dialer should work, choose your one and install it.

Questions and Help

Hi there.

I flashed this ROM list night (springtime) and it is stable & simple (I like it) but I have some questions:

(a) Where can I find different themes/skins other than the included in this ROM?

(b) Noticed it is very slow while browsing the new "start" menu... is there a way to make it faster e.g. overclocking it?

(c) the icons in the start menu looks crappy (I mean not good resolution)... it this a problem with my device resolution or it is an icon resolution issue itself?

(d) I would like to have both M2D and Titanium features in my ROM. Is there a way to install M2D in this rom so I can switch from one to another and see which I prefer?

Thanks a lot for your ROM and your prompt responses.

timezone problems

hello guys,

I keep having problems with the continuous timezone auto-changes. In other 6.1 ROMs I have seen a tab in the Phone settings where you can uncheck the option for automatically changing your timezone. I did found on the forums an option for adding a reg key that should make that tab appear, but it was only tested on WM5 and didn't worked for me either when I tested it.

I'm currently running 21198 (had the same issue with previous Josh' ROMs, including the Manilla versions).

This is sooooo annoying!!! Please, anyone else having this issue?? Anyone with a solution??

6.1 Refresh?

Hi!

If I remember the 6.1 refresh was promised a looong time ago, wasn't it?

Did I miss it? I am still running M2D Light V15. It seems like I am little by little getting over my Rom-flashing addiction (can't use 6.5 ROMs due to some apps incompatibility)

Launch Advanced Config if you don't have it then install it via device update

Under the phone section look for the NITZ tab and set it to yes and click done and reset. Then you will have the time zone tab under the phone settings.

Hi,

If I look at the program memory used right after I performed a reset, it is about 30.45 MB... but after using the device for some time, it reaches 38MB, leaving less than 10MB free... Any idea where this difference is coming from?

Another related question: I could see with other ROMs that the available memory had been increased to 55.72 MB (storage) and 51 MB (Program)... why don't you use this hack on your ROM?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
hmm, I have 59.29 MB of storage (without RBS hack) and 51.61MB of RAM :D

The size of storage, apart from other various hacks and whatsoever, depends on how many apps are built-in into the ROM, that means if you have M2D in the ROM - say bye to over 10MB ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bbdoc:
Storage is not that important to me... I've far enough storage with the current version as far as I install most of my apps on an SD... anyway, more storage is of course always welcome :D But RAM on the contrary is quite important... most versions I could find (with M2D, I like it too much) are using more than 30MB of RAM, which means not much remains for other apps to load, and I particularly had lots of issues launching Tomtom, which requires quite a lot of RAM...

Finger scrolling Feature

Hi!

It looks like a very good job! :)

But can anybody tell me what finger scrolling feature can I install in this ROM?

I mean the feature like in PV DVH v27 ROM or in TAI_Sw's 20954/Build 20954 Lite ROM, when you can scroll menues down and up with finger.

so how many ram you have now (in total)?

remember - it's not only nk.exe... it's the whole image (and especially xip.bin).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Philux:
As far as Ram on my Hermes I dont know cause my wife is currently using it. (Current roms in my sig) On Kasier with the new hacks they have taken total ram from around 86mb to 107mb. Which is quite a bit. Even if we could save 10mb extra on the hermes it would be well worth it.

I see what you are saying as far as it is just not the one file (nk.exe). I will have to read more on how this is set up (Little over my head right now to be honest).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
ah, I see. On Kaiser it's a different story - there was 101MB at the start, then they changed something in kernel indeed, and it got to only 85MB... it can be changed back however :) but as I said: it's a different story, related only to Kaiser (they changed a kernel).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Philux:

I have some applications, installed on my SD, but after flashing this new ROM, these apps are not in the application list of my new ROM anymore... Do I have to reinstall all of these, or is there any way to recreate the link towards these apps on the SD card from the windows apps directory?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Evilscientist:
It's like a regular PC...you have to re-install to get the programs registered in the operating system. The only way to make it work without re-installing everything...as far as I know....is the ROM upgrade mode of SPB backup or something like that. I'd recommend doing a clean re-install of everything and then use a backup program to restore data.

Evil.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HolyAngel:
I would definitely be interested in any possibility of a RAM hack on the Hermes :)

I've almost considered seeing if there's any possibility of procuring a ram chip and unsoldering the original and solder the new one, Provided there is one with the same amount of pins.

I imagine it would be a pretty heinous process if it could even be done.

But then an NK.exe hack would be applicable in that instance for sure then correct?

Is there any current way of doing the NK.exe hack on our phone's?

I've tried researching wth Anryl exactly did or found that it worked at all in the Kaiser but I can't find it anywhere :/

Guys, what kind of backup software are you using with WM6.5?

It is my pets peeve after I flashed 6.5. Resco fails, SPB slows down the system after restore waaaay much. Haven't try Sprite.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
ALWAYS: PPC PIM Backup, ONLY.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bbdoc:
The difference with a regular PC is that when you get windows updates, you don't have to reinstall all of your applications... with ROMs, you have to reinstall them all every time...

Anyway, I've tested and I could launch most of the applications installed on my SD directly through the explorer, without any reinstallation... so the question is, for those applications that launch perfectly, is there any way to add a shortcut directly into the programs directory (unfortunately, there is no "created shortcut" in the wm6 explorer as on a regular PC).

didnt have this problem on other roms, just started happening on springtime for me,

saw someone else mentioned this betwee 250-260th posts and then talk about the HR and doing the att striped rom before the springtime, just curious if this is what my problem is or it just wasnt addressed when someone else asked about it.

I just installed your 'V15 Manilla2D Light Plain Build 01-18-09' and it's a very nice first experience!

I have noticed, though, on my TyTN (Hermes) that the hardware keyboard has incorrect key mappings. I've only discovered a few so far:

CTRL+q = ~ (should be !)

CTRL+w= ! (@)

CTRL+e= @ (?)

CTRL+a= ; (_)

CTRL+s= - (")

CTRL+d= _ (:)

CTRL+f= ? (-)
