not sure if this is something josh or someone else can help with or where i should post it...

i am a new user of pimbackup (since deciding to move on from vp3g earlier this month) so i am not sure how to even use the program properly. it is doing the important part of backing up contacts and messages fine. i went looking for instructions and i did not find anything written up, but i did see some screenshots that show a page for selecting files or folders to include in backups. i have never seen this page while using the app(i have looked for every option). i cannot figure out if i am just missing something or if there is something different about this app for hermes. i am sure i saw the same issue in tai_sw's lite rom and possibly in CRC's rom too.

can anybody understand and help me figure out how i backup files and folders with pimbackup?

by the way josh, i am still using your lite test rom from last week. the phone works great with this rom, but the battery life is very poor so i am hoping that is a radio issue. i have tried 3 this month and i think the original radio worked best for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] taze:
1) i get no audible alert from new SMS or MMS message even though the obvious is setup in Sounds & Notifications.

Solved had something to do with the fact i had alerts and rings on my storage card, under my ringtones. removed ringtones from storage card, reflashed, fixed

2) The music tab on M2D lists all of my ringtones, alerts and sounds. How can i specifiy the folder to search from?

Solved OK so it searches the entire Storage Card. by removing ringtones from SD problem solved

Ok so now when i sync my contacts with my pc, the Birthdays and Anniversaries are off by one day. every bday or anni on the phone is one day in the past but its still correct in outlook on the pc???

whats the different between colored 3g & colored 2g?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohanz:
yes, i also need to know whats the different between 2G n 3G?

anyway, have any forumer here which using hermes 100 (with 64mb ram) had try Plain2G/3G? Does it ok? how bout the power consumption?

I do need to know the pros n cons first, before I flash the rom on my phone. Coz last time I did installed M2D Lite (but forgot which edition),n it make my phone hang (stuck at bootloader)! I guess its due to lack of ram. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] M3NF:
Well on the page before will be the answer as some one just asked this questions :)

But to save you more looking the answer is ...

2G=No video calls

3G=Video calls
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] luvaholic:
thanks a lot for the information.. gonna splash this rom to my hermes asap
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohanz:
luvaholic: i notice u also use dopod 838 pro too.

tell me the result (ur experience) when u already install m2d colored 3g.

i'm keen to try Plain 3g edition :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xit:
donations

guys, i hesitated a long time to write this, but I just can't 'not'.

I am using Josh's latest v.15 now on 2 Jasjams and 4 Dopod 838 pro's. While I had some problems to start with, all these were solved by flashing the AT&T rom first, and in the case of the Dopod's, force flashing SPL7 from msd card to get things started.

This full-colour-3G ROM is amazing. No crashes, syncs fine, accepts server certificates, and so on. I just can't fault it, and it has been done by a guy who really seems to know what he is doing and has attention to detail. so....I had to donate a little to him. And, I had to tell YOU coz I'm still excited about how great my Jasjam is now.

So, for those who can, and those who would perhaps like to consider, I just wanted to remind users of this ROM that enthusiasm AND help make the world go around. ;)

Wow, you must have some bulging pockets or a heavy belt! :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
uhhhh you said bulges... lol rofl:p:p

on a serious note.. thanks XIT and everyone!!! you all are awesome and truly great friends to have.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gasoline:
Thanks Josh

The M2D Light ROM is wonderful, fast response

There are 2 minor issues on the ROM

1. M2D interface is not support Tradtional Chinese

2. The Wi-Fi of Communication manager is not work

Other things work fine, nice ROM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emugpp:
Might be your timezone settings on your phone, that could cause the appointments to be off one day :/ check it out :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
thanks!! yea i'm looking into that weird wifi thing.. i think it has to do with the comm manager.. cuz it works fine for me and allot of people but some users no go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xit:
nah, one is mine, another a mates, and the 4 Dopods belong to a friend who uses them for his small salesforce. Everyone is VERY happy, believe me. :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zerocool00:
Soft Reset causes hang

I have hard reset 3 times now and tried various things that I thought might be the problem (restoring contacts and such from PIM).

It seem that no matter what I do, I cannot soft rest or press the power button (for a reboot) after I have used the phone for more than an hour.

At first, I can soft reset and everything boots right back up, but if I go ahead and configure network settings, time settings, gmail, weather, and other small items, I cannot soft reset or it hangs at the Windows Mobile boot screen. This last time I did not restore anything from my backup, just configured the settings.

Xit- what problems did you have at first? I am DL the shipped rom now to see if that fixes my problems. I'll report back...

Thanks,

Michael
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Or search for the at&t stripped, but either one should straighten out your issue. Need to flash the stock rom before flashing big storage roms.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kabimaus:
My first one! Small bugs?

Hey Josh!

I've only gotten my Hermes three days ago and yesterday updated it with V15 Manila (full, plain). It was my first ROM upgrade whatsoever and it's very very cool, I like it a lot. Indeed I've already deleted all the other ROMs that I had downloaded before to try them all out. For what? :)

Anyway, there are one or two tiny issues that really bother me though. Maybe I'm just too dumb, in that case please excuse my ignorance... I've tried to search this thread but haven't found anything.

First, on the TouchFLO home tab, the "Call History" always displays the icon that is supposed to indicate missed calls. Even if there aren't any. Is there a way to have it work properly? As it is it makes no sense, so I have to deactivate it. It'd be useful if it worked, however.

Also, I was wondering is there a way to have more than just one appointment being shown on the Home tab? No matter how small i make the fonts, even if I remove all the other stuff (clock, alarm..) there is just one appointment being displayed. Even if there are more on the same day... It'd be great if that display behaved the same way as the appointment summary on the home-screen of WM6.

Still, a very cool ROM.

Christina ;)

Colored Theme

This theme is the bee's knees! Is it available as a separate skin somewhere?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ameiurus:
Congrats! I couldn't agree more! I have two Hermes and Josh's ROMs are the only ones I load now. I just wish I could convince him to cook a Kaiser ROM; I would be in heaven!

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the Manilla2D interface. It always shows that icon whether there's missed calls or not. I've looked through the default theme and I can't even find where it can be changed. Maybe someone else knows what icon file that is.

Again this is a limitation of the Manilla2D interface. I don't believe there's anything Josh can do to fix this. He just cooks in the Manilla2D. You might want to install M2DC and see if there's any way to change it but I've looked and didn't find a way to modify it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] taze:
my timezone is correct. my current date and time is correct. and my appointments are correct. just B-Days and Anni's stored in contact are off one day. f**'n weird:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kabimaus:
I've had exactly the same problem, with only full-day-appointments (such as B'days, Anni's !) being affected. It was indeed the timezone that was wrong on my PDA. Did you check the timezone on your PC as well??

Christina
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mossburg44:
hey josh did you update the Manilla2D colored version on 1/18 also?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emugpp:
Same here, looks like no one was able to hack the appointments-tab, to let it show more than one appointment..IMO the only major drawback with M2D..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] amugaldynia:
On my Hermes something not good. I have MDA Vario II from Polish operator ERA (same as T-Mobile) and Hard SPL 2.1, without SIMlock and with SuperCID. After second reset Hermes goes on calibrating menu.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WildnMN:
Hey Josh,

Enjoying your Roms!!!!

I am new to this and find XDA very helpful. I was given my hermes from someone who didn’t use it anymore. I was able to unlock and superCID the device. I have installed your ROM and am quite pleased.

Only a few questions though. After unlocking the device, I was able to use it on T-Mobile. I was able to connect to the 3G network. I installed Tia’s rom and tried his out, very nice. And then I tried yours. I did follow the suggestion on flashing the AT&T OEM rom before using yours. I had to upgrade the radio for the OEM rom to take. I flashed yours and upgraded the radio to 1.47.30.10. Now my connection is on the Edge and not 3G. Did I miss something? I am a noob at this, but am learning every day.

Also, I have noticed after using the Opra browser, TouchFlo will disable. I would have to “tap here to launch TouchFLO”. Is this a bug? I can live with it though.

Cingular 8525 HERMES100 - SuperCID

ROM: Josh's Manilla2D v15

Radio: 1.47.30.10

SPL: Hard-SPL V7 2.10.OLIPRO

IPL: 1.04
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] taze:
nice sig....looks familiar!

its not a bug, touchflo automaticly disables when ppc is low on memory, great feature!

as for the 3g, idk, might just be your icons, dont have tmobile so not sure how that works. search the wiki and d/l a copy of fieldtest. there you can see your true connection
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] luvaholic:
hello joshkoss! i'm wondering can u help me.. i'm trying to splash ur COLORED3g ROM into my Hermes using sd card method. why is it stuck at the bootloader? it seems that the pda didn't recognize the ROM, i have renamed the rom to "HERMIMG.nbh". kinda weird.. since this is the first time i'm having this kind of problem, i've just splash ur darkwinter rom to my pda and it success.. can u help me? since ur rom is very attractive to me.. thanks!

Been using M2D light for a while now.

Programs keep crashing for me.

Well,not so much crashing as minimising.

They are still 'active' but they have disappeared from view.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
That sounds like you ran into the "big storage bug" you need to flash the at&t rom before switching to another big storage rom.

Here is the one I use, it had the radio rom stripped out, and is flashable from sd card from veyka's 4 shared:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
An amazing amount of work. Don't think it goes unoticed. It's a good job for us old Hermes users that you've still got one as well. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mossburg44:
hey josh did you update the Manilla2D colored 2G version on 1/18 also?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Working on it bro.

Darkwinter is being updated to DarkWinter2 today and then those m2d roms will be updated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Post 4 update

Hello peoples..

As of recent i've been playing with my darkwinter build and decided to release a update.. see post 4 for the details :)

it's loaded with goodies, and fast, and very cool.. It basically is the rom i use all the time...

So if your up to flashing give it a shot but ppp p p please be sure to flash oem att rom on post 4 first to prevent hard resets :)

Peace my peoples, I love you all :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MystaMagoo:
Hola Josh :)

Many thanks for your hard work.

I installed HTC task manager(I like the it being in the top right corner).

It disappears once M2D(touchflo) fires up though :(

Is this a M2D(touchflo) limitation or is there a way around it?

Using light version still :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
really, thats quite odd.. did you install the one from device update?? i think it's the latest one?

i think there is a autokill switch in the registry settings for htc task manager you need to set to 0 i believe also.. lemme look.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MystaMagoo:
No,it does not appear in DU,I have it as a cab(Shamanix I believe).

The 1 in DU is the 'advanced' TM,which I think is the 1 already in your rom?

Maybe they clash?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
the one in device update is listed in htc apps :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BrAtKo:
Josh hello thank you for nice ROM I really like it a much. One thing I really missing (which has been included in DVHA rom) is the call history list in the dialer keypad. In your dialer I can see only last call, not the scrollable list of all calls (dialed and missed). I have used it heavily (just pressing the green pick-up hw button and you are in which is fast to redial missed calls). I do not know how this dialer is called that's why I cannot try alternative. What do you mean about this ? Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Sorry man,, Call list you state is in the 2g versions.. did you flash 3g for video dialer?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BrAtKo:
I see now it is clear for me. Yes I have flashed 3G ROM 'cos I'm on 3G network but I do not use video calls. Is it possible to install 2G dialer over this 3G ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WildnMN:
I have ran into the same problem with programs minnimizing. I will try flashing the at&t rom again and give it a go. Been using your m2d for over a week now. Really enjoying it! Thanks!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MystaMagoo:
Just flashed Darkwinter2,wow it's beautiful :)

Also 1st time I seen s2u2,very nice.

Now,if I was to order a personal ROM.....;)

Replace opera9.5 with opera mini.

Take out youtube.

Take out office(I don't use but could always install if needed).

Take out google maps(I don't use but could always install if needed).

Install 10 button comm manager

Install softkey changer

Otherwise this is my perfect ROM :D I am so lovin it.

Just 1 thing though....

wktask shows an icon in top right corner when an app/prog is open but not on today screen?

Is this normal?

I tap there and wktask opens no problem,just no icon to say it's there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BrAtKo:
Josh please does it mean that 2G version of your ROM is different only in dialer ? Because I'd like to use 3G (and UTMS) for data. Thx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
correct... 3G data works on all roms.. 3G is referred to as only the 3G video dialer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
Running it under TL.9.6.

Hi Josh,

I've just downloaded it, and love it running on my Hermes. It's really fast. I compared it with your test Hex which seems to be even faster.

I tried Dark Winter2 under TL.9.6., everything seems so far good and working, but i could not load the Picture files. Without TL it works fine, but with TL they do not just load.

What could be the problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Sorry dude but what is TL? I'm a noob :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
TL means Throttle Launcher. Sorry for the abbreviation.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
hi Josh how are you?

i saw your hexx pic nice who made it? :p

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA lol well does the final release non beta will fix the wireless settings link broken? i need to tell my sister that she needs to go to setting conections and wifi cards jejeje.

Hope everything will becomes good for all!

BTW does anybody can links me on how to get a link to my paypal donate screen?

i cant see it! jejejej im a noob!!!

I think Throttle launcher wass too slow because of the 3d efects... (non3d just Flash animation)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kabimaus:
Real bugs this time?

So, once again it's me, now I think I found a real issue :(

The ringer volume is always highest, no matter what I set in the volume adjust application. Also, even if I select "increasing volume" in the notification config, the phone rings at maximum volume from the start when a call comes in. Is there a way to handle this?

Also, if I select the german keyboard layout, the keyboard still doesnt behave as with a german WM. The mapping is ok, but when I press on the function key (the circle) and then on space to turn a letter into a "special" german letter (ä,ü,ö,ß) I do not get the correct result. Instead I get accentuated letters (á,ú etc.) so I have to repeat pressing the function-space until I get the right ones. On a german keyboard layout, after using function-space on an "a" the VERY FIRST thing you get is "ä" (as well as ö,ü,ß with o,u,s respectively). Its pretty annoying because we often use these special letters. Can that be somehow easily fixed?

All the best

Christina :D

23-1 update 3G full colour?

Hi Josh,

I am always eager to test a new full-3g rom' but can only see a full-2g link in post 4 update.

Is there a full-3G-colour version too? :) Office is optional, but those great little other apps make it full indeed. * edit* just read again that you are working on M2D builds.

PS, have you considered adding PeekPocket? I attached the latest version some pages ago, along with 1-calc and Dutty's File Explorer. These 3 apps are a must have in my use.

Thanks buddy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JMMFairfax:
Hi Josh,

I've been running V15_FULL_Test_21109 for a couple of weeks now without a hitch. I've got it tweaked out just the way I wanted... I praise you every time I answer a call or play bubble breaker.

So my silly question is, what's the difference between that build and the new Dark Winter2 build? If they are nearly identical, then I won't move. If there was some kind of good tweak or bug fix you put in, then I'd consider it. My hope is to stick with a particular build for a while, and I'm very, very please with the one I have. So, I guess what I'm asking is...

Can you talk me into flashing the new DW2?

I'm not really interested in the M2D builds as they took up too much memory and I can't run opera or google maps, which I use a lot. If I can get more speed to run opera, then I'd move, for example...

thanks again. I can't tell you how impressed I am with your work, and the fact that your wife will let you work on this in your spare time...

cheers,

jeff
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
Hi Josh,

so yesterday I tried the same with Hex and TL does not work with it either. The problem is that through TL does not load the page of pictures to be chosen from. Strange, as the same TL was working nicely with WM6.1 TOUCH Build20924 V27 from Dvha79_ddt [Full] NetCF3.5 which had even nice feel of touch scrolling.

So today I went back to the DW2, but another preblem popped up, it does not connect to WiFi modem 5 feet away. Yesterday it was slow but finally connected. Always using the same radio 1.47.30.10.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Yep... all my new full builds are gonna have those now.. i believe darkwinter2 has it :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks for the analasys sir!! i appreciate it.. which build were you using?? i haven't experienced this with my darkwinter builds. i'll need to test and fix it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Hey Jeff, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate your support dude... the build you are using has the same core i believe as darkwinter2.. the only thin that should be updated are the apps i put in if you can see post4 and look whats included it might peek your interest. :) Opera is included in the new darkwinter2 and has a new skin look.. google maps latest is included of course also and runs great :)

Thanks again and peace to you and your family dude. ;)

Joshua
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
that is strange, wifi core hasn't changed between those builds... lemme see if i can find a cab for tl and test it... the only thing i can think of thats changed between those builds are sql.. i believe dvh builds include 3.0 or 3.5... i'll test it today and see what i can find.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Dude, I just flashed your M2D_Light_2G_plain, and wow!

Colour me impressed ;)

This rom and CRC's newest DU is just fantastic, you have come so far from your almost naked!

Donation sent ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks... I know it dude... and can only get better :)

THANKS for the donation dude!!! Totally appreciate it.. we just ran out of coffee and don't get paid for a week. so thanks for the coffee dude :) My wife and I are grateful
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WildnMN:
Hi Josh,

Tried your Darkwinter2. Very nice work!

Question for you....probably a noob question though...I noticed that you have a screen lock on your Darkwinter2. I liked that a lot. I am using your manilla 2G version now. Can that app be applied to the manilla? What is the application name?

I figured it out..downloading S2U2...I feel like a noob!!

Thanks much.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Sure lemme post the .cab's here for you bro.

ok here you go dude.

S2u2 is the app name.. made by the great AC

Skin animation i found in a forum somwere.. then the skin cab has all the registry keys you need

S2U2 first.. . .

Then install josh s2u2 skin cab..

reboot, and your all set :)

Peace

Joshua

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bteljuice:
hey veyka, the 2g light is colourless(the icons), am i right coz mine are.

Plus did u install wktask? if yes, are getting this weird icon near the start button that doesnt go away?

thx buddy :)

Edit: oh and can u post M2D settings so i can remove some tabs? thx bro :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bteljuice:
is the DU 1.8.1.0 the newest one that u were talking about(the built-in one)? or its the newer one that CRC is working on right now?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I would use this dude customiser.

And with wktask, yes, that icon is tf2d, and you cant get rid of it, as far as i know.

Maybe Josh has an idea?

Edit: click and hold the odd icon, go to options, and tick always hide!

I was talking about his new beta.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bteljuice:
btw guys, is there a way to change the M2d clock to 12h instead of 24h?
