It appears I may be the only one experiencing the power button issue. :confused:

Anyways here are my results:

WM g.S Test 2 21169 = power button working

Stripped AT&T ROM = power button fails to respond 95% of the time

Official AT&T ROM = went a whole day (today) with no issues with power button

CRC 13.3 = power button fails to respond 95% of the time.

What happens is that my phone only becomes usable by resetting the phone. Power button will not wake it up from its sleep. I've noticed I only experienced this issue after trying out one of the 6.5 ROMs. At first I thought it was a loose button but after further testing with 4 different ROMs it has to be software specific. When I get the chance I'll try some other ROMs and see if the issue still persists. I'm a bit surprised that only the official AT&T isn't giving me any headaches. I've been flashing custom ROMs for the past two years on my Hermes. I'm actually due for an upgrade in April and may get the Iphone but that's besides the point. I loved my Hermes and it was my first PPC.

Any thoughts on what I'm experiencing here? I was hoping to hold onto my Hermes until summer for the rumored 32GB Iphone.

Great ROM!!

I just have one question that someone might be able to help me out with.

1. Is there anyway to stop the vibrate when you tap the screen

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WoNd3RBoY:
The exact same problem here...when this happened to me 5th time in a couple of days...i went searching here and found other people experiencing the same problem...ALSO ON GOLDEN GLOBE ROM!

have 1.50 radio, hardspl v7...everythings...

It a shame...because this release is working fast and is the best one i've tried so far...but when it decides to hard reset...damm...it all over...have to reflash it...

Hope this post help to bring out an important issue and helps solve it. Thank you for the release.

best regards from sLOVEnia.

Hi Josh,

Using your V18 test 2. I unfortunately suffered frozen screen when the device was connecting to active sync. soft reset did not help. the screen is stuck in the splash screen. :( A hard reset didn't help either.

Looks like I will need to figure out how to get the device unstuck. First time this has happened with your ROMs though.

Download speed

Thanks again for your hard work and dedication to this platform Josh. I am amazed and very appreciative of the time you put into this.

But I am sorry to have to nitpick on the download. I know it would be faster if I

had an account with "Deposit Files", but i am currently at 15.0 of 51.7MB of this download after an hour and a half. I show I still have 57 minutes remaining.

PS: Another donation coming your way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
while Deposit Files can be slow/aggrevating (when it says you are already downloading file when you are not) i won't blame them totally for the speed, i can get a rom in about 7 minutes (+-2min). granted i'm on a university connection so its nice and fast.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
I'm so sorry guys, this appeard to be the only file sharing site that isn't blocked by my job that i work at during the day.. as soon as i get home i'll have it uploaded to fpt speediness :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cminion:
really minor thing, but can you add the app that sync the time of the phone, so when i flash with a new rom the time will be correct and i dont miss all of my calendar entries
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
sure i'll see if i can find and add next one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ferretlife:
I'm downloading off a T1 here, so that shouldn't be the issue.

Josh,

Fully understandable. My wife's work just started blocking everything on their PC's. It's driving her nuts.

Here is a link for all off my server:

Can you please publish your latest kitchen. I want to playaround with titanium. Email and Text messages seems to have gone off it and I dont want Pictures or Music.

Otherwise a great ROM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
so about that test 3 kitchen :) :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] padawan:
Josh, Outstanding cook. You have brought new life to my old Hermes. I was about to give up on my Kaiser with its freezing and slow GPS so I thought I would tinker with the Hermes on the shelf.

Now if someone would point me in the direction on how to take what you have done and port it to my Kaiser. I would like to use your rom as a model and add in any Kaiser specific items.

Any suggestions?

BTW- Im also donating.

BIG thanks for your hard work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
wait 2 weeks and i'll be over there myself cooking roms for kaiser also.. :)

In the Manilla 2D when you have your quick contacts/people is there a way to contacts from your SIM. I seem to only be able to add if they are in my outlook contacts.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arcy:
Is it just freezing or is the screen not responding? I do experience freezes but mainly a screen that won't turn back on. Does it only happen when flashing these ROMs? I'm back on the official stock ROM and am hating it but its the only way I can get my phone functioning.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
on that note, my wife will still have my old trusty hermes and i'm gonna be getting a used one from a coworker so i can continue to create hermes rom goodness for you all :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
Woohoo! I was getting worried, as more Hermes chefs depart for newer devices I was thinking i was going to have to upgrade....man i'm cheap
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
lol i hear you man.. if my friend wasn't practically giving me a kaiser i wouldn't get one... having 3 kids and a wife there's not much money left after my check :) yep i'll still be here.. aint going anywhere, u guys are great family to have :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
does anyone have a few mins to put together some sweet @$$ screenshots of my spider 6.5 rom :) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arcy:
Is anyone able to flash the 6.5 ROM and go back to another ROM (other than official) without any power button issues?

I flashed the spider-themed 6.5 to see if the issue would persist. I didn't test it out too long but the button appeared to be working. (btw, the facebook app is a dead link in programs). I then proceeded to flash CRC's 13.3 ROM and the power button ain't working again.

I'm looking to test out more chefs and see if I get any issues. I'll probably proceed back to stock ROM as the power button magically works for some reason.

sorry Josh I choose another background and modified titanium to have weather forecasts and notifications in a single line :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ReeS86:
awesome

Hey Josh great job on the 6.5 builds, and all of the others for that matter:D! I Just installed Test 3 and it looks nice. I'm a little confused though, the splash screen from the HEXX build is still coming up first at boot, does the WM 6.5 test 3 not have a replacement or should I have flashed a stripped official ROM first?

ReeS
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
21176 test 1 coming tomorrow ! ! This build is waaay fast.. hex startmenu is really smooth.. you all will love it.

Hi Josh,

your WM 6.5 Project is amazing, many Thanks for that!

As long at it is beta I woukd like to use the old 6.1 one.

Are you planning a next light release with the 6.1 base?

LG

sapphire_pro
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yes Allot of stuff is fixed! and runs allot faster!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yes, I plan on redoing a new 21028 build for 6.1 that was the last final 6.1 official build i believe.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
What I've noticed after 10mins

had to HR after flash, hung on WM splash screen w/o prompt to calibrate device

after setup reboot, hung at WM splash screen again, had to SR to get it running (went FAST after that)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
u flash that oem att rom man?? gotta get that in for max stability :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
flashed it last night before reflashing 21169Test3, i'll reflash and report back; guess i thought i would be ok, but with jumping builds i should have known better
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
grab it from post 6!! thats the updated one....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
Ok flashed ATT bare and then 21176.1

It hung at the first boot again so I did an HR and then things went in smoothly...i waited about 5minutes with no beeps or prompts
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
did you get it from post 6? cuz i flashed no issues at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sapphire_pro:
This would be great!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:

21176 Test 1 - Mirrors

Though I was able to download the new Rom 1000x faster today, I still made mirrors for all. And repackaged as a zip for those 7z challenged.;)

21176_Test1.zip

Really like the last "Test3". Hopefully will get to try this one today.

U are too nice to me man!! Thank you so much! I'll get it up on another mirror when i get home later also :) can anyone get a screenshot of the home page please?? ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] oltp:
Congratulations Josh with another great build. It is noticibly faster than previous builds and I'm sure you can fix the lock etc. Made you some screenshots, the first ones are plain and the last homescreen is with Titanium Weather and a modified cpr. I'm not complete satisfied with the Notifications bar in the last screenshots and am working on getting the original one included in the rom back. Probably some registry settings that I have to look for.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] uiskibum:
oltp, how to you get the weather in there, i've looked around and can't quite figure it out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WildnMN:
I would like to know as well! Which weather prog are you using?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
WOW Amazing job Dude!!! Thanks!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] oltp:
You're welcome chef!

It's Titanium Weather. Got it from the Raphael software board it's 480x640 based so I changed the Titanium_240x320.cpr (see attachment) a little. Feel free to update it, IMHO the digits can be a bit larger and I still have to work on the landscape cpr. That one is very promising due to the width.

Btw Josh could you pls change the today settings for Wireless, Owner info and messaging? There switched by default again. Man I love this rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] padawan:
YEA! All right... Something to look forward to with all the gloom on Fox Business...

I have a Kaiser sitting on the shelf now. Let me know if you need a beta tester.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HolyAngel:
@oltp

I replaced your titanium cpr with the original and re-enabled titanium and it basically crashed my phone out completely, i had to reflash, just thought i should post that real quick :P

Also, has anyone been experiencing a radio issue with this latest build 21176?

- Since flashing I get 1-No bars in places where i used to get 2. The call quality is also very poor, scratchy and breaking up for the whole convo, even when up to 2-3 bars of service. Im on ATT and the radio I have on is in my sig, i cant remember off hand :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
I think, Josh ported the XIP,SYS from Anryl Kitchen or Raphael Kitchen and they are more specific files in them and will be crash for Hermes or some incompatible. Need more cleaner to porting SYS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Wow tai!! Thanks dude! What a honor to have you comment on my thread :) i actually ported from DA_G kitchen raphael

Any suggestions u got i'm happy to try... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
And honestly i have had no radio issues on latest build.. been running 2 days.. did you get link from post 6, it is a cleaner build than in my ftp folders.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
I ported with raphael kitchen like you and have so many issues. I lose a lot of time to find all different files and registry .rgu. After removed and put another files i got it better stable. Yesterday i tried Anryl kitchen too, it got better than raphael.

yea man, i'm sorry... i haven't had problems that much at all.. u left some 0409 files from 21159 and some from 21109 but main core files and rgu from raphael DA_G kitchen. works good.. i can upload kitchen if you want to look?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
be sure to remove all skymarket, skybox, and skyline, and winlive from new build and it will run allot better also man!! rgu's in there do weird things with notifications and other things

hmm i'll look into that man!! thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TAI_Sw:
My sys is very clean. I removed also CHome and put another lockscreen. I installed manila2d and it run very fast :D. But im not sure that it working stable or some issues come out if I try intensivity more.

wktask

Is it possible to uninstall the wktask-thing and install another taskmanager. (I'm using your amazing V15 3G Rom - thank's 4 your great work!!!) I don't like the wktask because if you tap on start, the color gradient around the Start text and the buttons (appearing if you have an open program) looks

realy bad!

Or could i at least take it away from auto startup using a reg.editor or something like that?

kind regards, Sven
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
hey man!! you can remove the wktask from the \windows\startup\ folder and reboot and you should be good.. thanks for the kind words :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jardan:
i don't know if you can unistall it, if it is not in the remove programs menu then i think you can't. but you can stop it from starting up, if you go to the uper right corner and keep pressing with your stylus, a menu will pop up. go to "preferences" and use the down two arrows to move further right until you see a tab "startup". there you have the option to enable or disable the program from starting up automaticly.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] balupg:
Great ROM! If this is "test", I can't wait to see the final :)

No issues with radio, but I noticed that after a loong call, the unit freezes. Only soft reset option works. Surprisingly the call is not dropped. Just that no keys respond.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
on the freezing thing?? did you install s2u2 cuz i noticed the same when i enabled the call answer things in s2u2 when i disabled that it went away and no freezing.

And thanks for the sweet comments dude! :) Peace,

Josh
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] balupg:
Nope! no S2U2. In fact the rate at which you come out with ROMs, I don't get much time to install anything else :)

Keep spoiling me....

Cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
hehe i try :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
It would be really, really cool, as this and CHome are the only bad things about those new builds. The coredll and the rest are really fast.

One issue to test... I didn't try it on 21169, but on 21159 I installed HomeScreen++ UI (former BatteryStatus) today plugin. While it did install ok, it couldn't start... :eek: (of course I reverted to the normal today screen) and that's a really bad news :(

I'll have to try it on the newer builds, but in the middle of the week I rarely flash my device as I need it for my work...
