ringtone corruption issue still

1. v17 has the same issue as v16a - ringtone is currupt problem.

2. Not sure why MS Money is in this ROM, I would prefer PacMan. :)

3. Had to soft reset after powering off as it wouldn't reboot. It didn't hard reset however.

4. Superbright and Ipaso Titanium customiser are missing!

5. Start menu reads 'Messaging' upon boot, but changes to 'Start' when you move around

Still testing, but nice to have more free RAM than the base Josh 222 kitchen.

Downloading V17......

with V16 fingerkeyboard doesn't work but it worked with v15, I hope it'll work with V17.

by the way TAI I like the image of V17 :)

wow i'm waited this release!!! :p

thank you TAI for V17! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LWJoubert:
Good ROM, do not like all the MSN apps in the start menu.

No need for Search, Money, Live, Weather & Messenger.

Missing is still the CHome customizer & {maybe Titanium Weather}

Otherwise ROM is fast with lots of memory.

Thanx :D

I don't understand something: why do i need to flash an original rom before flashing a cooked rom.Whats the purpose?

I haven't got any problems with tai rom's but with josh roms i need to hard reset very often.

Nice Rom man. Very fast and very responsive.

One issue though, MS Money looks like is non responsive.

Feedback

Tai, as others have already said, thank you greatly for your roms. They are fantastic. I just installed v17 and noticed a couple of things. The wi-fi still randomly turns on and off. It seems to turn on and off more frequently when connected via usb to the computer. Also, the internet sharing no longer works. I tried it both on xp and vista. My 8525 will connect and shows up in windows explorer but when I try to connect to the internet with internet sharing I get an error. Could this problem be related to the advanced networking rndis error that oltp mentioned in post 1046? I very much rely on internet sharing and need it to work. Do you have any thoughts as to what I can change, replace, add, etc. To fix it? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] burkay:
because different ROMs have different disk structures and they get in the way of each other. The stock ROM sort of formats the whole disk.

V17 and Ringtones

Great ROM - i notice that unlike V16, I am unable to change ringtones at all or save any changes in Sounds and Notifications, i get an error " Ring Tone Error: This ringtone file is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ring tone."

My ringtones are on my storage card under the My Documents folder

the file are MP3's

I am able to play all the files with Media Player

Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jesse99:
Another great ROM :D

I'll start testing some more later, for now I do see a nice improvement in free memory, great job on that.

Since this is a Lite version I'd prefer seeing the Msn apps out of it, except for Messenger (of which I'll simply install a Cab) I don't really need them anyway.

Having trouble getting .NET Framework 3.5 installed on V17. Using the same CAB I installed on all previous ones without a problem.

Now it gives me an installation error popup: "Close all applications, maximize available storage space and run the installation again. Support code: 3."

Got 22 Mb free so that can't be the problem.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Radical_MT:
.NET 305 is already in this ROM. You just need to enable it in HLM - Software - Microsoft - .NET (change it from 0 to 1 and soft reset or may a reset will be better)

I have a big problem. :( . I have the MDA Vario II. I went to install 21222_Lite_V17. I'm stuck with the align screen. I can't get true that. The other problem is that i can't even put the old one back. none of the other rom is responding now :(..

ERROR: [224] DEVICE NOT RESPONDING.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LimDul:
very nice ROM, as all your previous versions. Thanx a lot

just sometimes it takes a longer time to boot, but only sometimes. besides that works like a charm.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jesse99:
I assume you try to get the old ROM back from your pc? That won't work, because ActiveSync won't make a connection.

Try reflashing the old one from SD card. Put the .nbh file in the root of the SD card, rename it "HERMIMG.NBH" (watch the 2x M), then reset the device while holding Power and OK buttons left and right side of device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cr4ck3dn:
Some bugs on Hermes. :(

1) When open the phone or restart it, enter the text messages himself.

2) In IE when I click on favorites or search, I open the file explorer.

3) In some programs (not all) after you give the "minimize" the program and try to reopen, not open back (eg.Pocket Alarm).

4) Once the songs / alerts from the "sounds and notifications" not working "file corrupt ..."

After restart their returns.

5) MSN Weather, MSN Money and Search Widget not open them (listed in program).

Thanks for the software and on next update will solve the problems reported.

6) Sorry for my english :).

Others mentioned that V18 is not stable, however, I have not had any problems. I also want to mention that in V17 the MS Weather & MS Stocks widgets did work, they were just extremely slow to load/operate.

I can't thank you enough for bringing new life to an older device. Please keep up the great work!

Hello, thought I'd give 18 a try after sticking with 14 for a bit. I've noticed you've included the diamond keyboards, which are a good addition although now I find that

if i start typing a message I end up way ahead of the cursor

if I try and add someone to the 'To' address field, both the to box and keyboard suggest names ,and if i select any and then click into the text window to write a message the phone freezes. :/

Has anyone come across this or can anyone replicate it? It doesn't appear to happen with one name but if there's a few to select from it does.

Otherwise a great looking rom :)

First Bug on V18

I don't know if this is a bug on V18, but when you turn on the camera on the upper right corner it shows how many pictures you can take or how many minutes you can record on video. On my hermes it says that I can record over 5 hours of normal video using the L setting (large) but when I put it on video for MMS the counter goes to 00:00:00 minutes and when I push record a warning pops out saying that I don't have enough disk space.

Haven't had much time to play with it yet, but I can confirm these 2 errors (they were in earlier ROMs already too):

I'm also experiencing a little bug with the context menus. The top most items are invisible (no text, but still clickable if you know what's there).

Personally I prefer the new WinMo 6.5 context menus that were in previous versions, however I seem unable to get them back using the registry entry that was posted before about this...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] burkay:
the last version is way slower on my hermes than v13. I suspect that it is the new task manager.

on the other hand, some of the programs that didn't work before in v13, now works in v18. I appreciate more functionality, in spite of less speed. But maybe you could just remove this task manager, add wktask, and give us a happy 19th :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arty:
wktask isnt compatible with 6.5, but ya...the task manager in V18 is really weird.

and noticed some slowdowns fter installing several plugins for titanium.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jesse99:
The answer to your questions is in this thread already. Versions V13 and above have no problems syncing with Windows Vista anymore.

For most people the roms run stable but there are some issues. WinMo 6.5 is still in beta at Microsoft, so you can't expect a 100% stable version yet. If you want that, it's best to download a WinMo 6.1 rom.

Install Device Update, the link can be found on this forum if you search on it. Through Device Update you can install MS Office Mobile.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
I have to say that it does feel much slower than previous versions. Not sure what the reason is. The screen switch from landscape to portrait is definitely much slower and less reliable though this may be due to the different background theme for each being used.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LWJoubert:
