Just wondering ... why does audio manager pauses playback if you press the powerbutton? it did not happened with the original ROM or lomlom's ROM, can you please get it fixed?

I also had the glitch with audio booster, but it was fixed by following your steps - thanks.

Also, just wondering - in lomlom's ROM audiobooster came as a option in the menu (I did not check his audiomanger's version :p) in audio manager. but not in this ROM.

But over all it IS the best and the fastest ROM till date! Plus lots of free space to boot :D
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
:D Ankit Sir, you dont read between the lines. In my ROM the problem is, it starts automatically even when it is not connected to a PC. It is NOT meant to work THIS way. :) While connecting to a PC it remains active because it syncs data to PC as soon as it is updates like when you receive a message, or missed call, Add a contact, task, reminder etc. Plus it provides the pass through access to the PC's internet connection so that you could browse internet on your mobile using the same connection.

But when disconnected from a PC it should not start automatically once closed. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I think all these problems are solved on next reboot as i said in my post. All this only happens for the first time you start your phone after flashing or hard reset. Just start audio manager, play a song, start audio booster. Listen to 4-5 seconds, close both, restart. Thats it.

After doing this, my Audio Manager doesn't stops on pressing power button, have audio booster in the menu and audio booster's equalizer works nicely.

Actually i think the Audio Booster and Manager are from different sources, have different versions so they behave erratically for the first time. But after starting for the first time, they set up the registry correctly and everything becomes alright. I am waiting for the 2.0 version of Audio Booster to become available, cab or oem. Then i'll include the compatible versions in another update to the ROM.

A request

Hi krazy,

Canyou please create a rom with similar features for the OLD GENE??having read through the thread i am too eager to try this rom in my OLD GENE

Thanks...
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Sure man, i'll try out tonight. But you ppl will have to test it as i dont have this phone. I'll post the link on the first post along with for the new gene.
[P3400 ROM Development] htc3400:
Thanks

Thanks so much dude...i will test it out on my GENE...thanks so much for your efforts...

:D
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Uploading the new versions of ROM (Both New and Old Gene) :) (Dont get confused, i am updating the ROM second time today)

Changes:

Audio Manager 2.0 (The theme of this one matches the rest of the applications, and it takes quiet less memory than the older version.)

H4_Inbox latest version .427 : Newest version of utility for recieving files via Bluetooth on storage card directly.

Audio Manager was provided by Ankit360 so many many thanks to him.

He also provided me Audio Booster 2.1 but this version has only equalizer and no controls to control 3D sound, Treble and Bass, It directly opens the Equalizer screen. Without these, the audio output was terrible so i patched the older 1.2 version to work with Audio booster 2.0. Its working nicely and music is sounding great!

See you guys in an hour or so. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] vaibhav_batra_the_techguy:
so can i flash my gene with this ROM now?

my gene has s/n starting with HT7XXXX
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hey, i have uploaded a version for old gene too, try that out. There is no harm in trying these ROMs just keep your current ROM with you in case it doesn't work. You can always flash back your previous ROM if it doesn't works.

But i haven't tested the version as i dont have an old gene. So try on your own risk or wait untill someone reports success.
[P3400 ROM Development] SHaDoHaCK:
very very thanx bro

you are the man
[P3400 ROM Development] htc3400:

[P3400 ROM Development] htc3400:
@Krazy

hi dude...

thanks:D

@Dheeraj: Hey buddy, i dont get you? Are you suggesting that i should remain with Cyberon's Voice Commander or that i should remove both?? I am not going to remove both, so please tell me the choice between the two and please dont forget the functionality criteria while judging. ok :)
[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
My mistake, I meant to say remove "Microsoft Voice Commands" as that consumes more memory. Sorry buddy....
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hmm, Ok. Lemme have some more feedback and then i'll decide. Thanks for your suggestion buddy :)
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Just downloaded your 2.4 ROM in the morning.

Initial feedback:

1. Speed is very good.

2. Love the extra storage.

3. Activesync is starting automatically (once in a while on reboot) and so is Cyberon Voice Command (actually once)!

Over all a great ROM.

Thanks for the great ROM.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Re: Changes in V 2.5

1. Since you are removing Windows Live (:D), I think we can afford the additional space requirement of Microsoft Voice Command.

2. Thanks for removing IE6, always thought it was a bit sluggish and BIG. So we are gaining some free space here :).

3. But I am a bit edgy about the fact that voice tag's can not be saved, but what the harm in a bit of experiment :).
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hey addicted, thanks for the feedback buddy. But since you have quoted my post, i must tell you, that i didn't said for feedback on v2.4, it was for the v2.5 that i am currently testing. I suggest you to read previous 4-5 posts :)

EDIT: Oh you posted it separately, great :) Yeah I am removing Windows Live, back then when i was so keen on keeping it the reason was there was no other way to use hotmail accounts, but now since we have a convenient way of using hotmail and live accounts without any additional software along with excellent IM software like Palringo for free, I dont think there is any need to continue living in the past :)

Actually 2.4 also doesn;t have IE 6 so no space gained from that, but the original SYS i got had IE 6 so i removed and replaced it with IE 5.5.

Ya me too in mood of experimenting a bit. And what the heck, you can always disable voice commands by deleting its startup shortcut. :)

Off topic

Hey buddy, since you are using SPB Mobile Shell 3 (read it somewhere), One question:

Does the contacts and caller ID function work weird after installing it? I mean in my case it wont search properly if the contact name is big (or rather huge), like say I save my office contacts as ESL Kol RC Pretoria Paromita Debgupta (You can guess why, hopefully). The search function works well for first 2 to 4, but say if I search Paromita, it can not find it! Also when displaying the Caller ID, it just displays the first 1 to 3 words :confused:. Can you help on this ?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Well i was using SPB mobile shell, but its too heavy for my taste. I am back on my good old HTC Home 2.1. I love it too much, less memory use, good functionality and the great feeling of using Windows Mobile native UI. For others it may be crude or whatever, but i love the default UI. its fast and it works for me. If i had to use a generic phone i would have been gone with either smartphone version or with some other brand like Sony Ericsson.

I haven't got such long names :) in my contacts so never gave it a try. Will try it out and tell you. My guess is that it will happen without SPB Mobile Shell too. Its some limitation of the Contacts app i think. It searches upto 5-6 words only.
[P3400 ROM Development] zinzar:
Hi Sumit :

After using the 2.4 this is my feedback

1- It is fast and memory ok ( like everyone tell )

2- Activesync is open always , after close also it come to open again .

3- if i left the device for long time it hangup , and if i call my number i here ring but my mobile not working ( flash LED is working but screen not open ) , and for your info this is first time that happened with all your previous ROM .

4- Blue tooth headset is disconnected after sometimes ?? ( i should close BT and open again)

5- IN SPB MS3 , when i open the programs or setting is come to be mixed ( programs with sitting and setting with program )

I did not see any one mention this much problem , so i flash my device twice and same problem coming, and this is first time that the device hangup this much , so i will flash the v2 / 3 untill you release v2.5

Another thing :

- i told you before about the icon problem in v2 r3 when i recooked and you give the solution, it is work thanks' a lot
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
No there is no such issue with the default contact app. Since I have been using it for some time :).

I am also thinking about uninstalling it, its chic but not worth the slowness :).
[P3400 ROM Development] rakesh_4utoo:
I am also a fan of HTC home becoz it consumes less resources and provides more stability and usability,I hav an issue, can i use the old camera application with 2.4 or 2.5 (6.1 pro roms) and even with your 6.5V2pro rom.(I think in my OLD gene the old camera app working great with awesome picture quality as compared to new HTC camera V2.0) Pls suggest how to,i tried to install HTC camera 1 available somewhere but it fails.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Old Camera needs two things for working : Original Camera Driver dll in OEMDrivers folder and Original mHub and Directshow that came with Gene which is present in OEMApps folder. So if you use these two folders from original roms you will get the camera working back.

But there are implications to this. First of all, i have fully removed the previous directshow and mhub and integrated new mhub and directshow tightly into the system as this is needed for applications like youtube to work. The registry settings for old and new versions of Dshow and mHub clash with each other. So you will need to put the old codec files only from original mhub and use the new directshow. The new mHub also need to be present. In this way we have (New Directshow + Registry) + (New mhub + registry) + (Old mhub codecs - Registry). The new mhub and directshow are in seperate folders while the older codecs are in OEMApps folder itself. Do this and you will have your old camera working.

An alternate is to stop using any application that relies on new directshow and remove the new ones completly. After that replace the old components in OEMApps and you will be good to go. New apps wont work, and camera videos might not play in Windows media Player but camera will work.

Choice is yours :) I know its complicated, but thats how it is :o
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hi Zinzar,

2. Activesync always open is a problem in newer SYS and the solution is to create a fake server and then in Schedule settings, disable the automatic schedule. I have discussed this many times before.

3. This is strange, never happened with me. Dunno, it may be a problem with old gene as old gene versions are not fully tested (coz i dont have one :o )

4. Bluetooth module is having problem in this ROM, and it is cured in v5. So please wait until i release the new one.

5. Actually, my rom by default misses some icons in the SYSTEM tab in Settings, and i am yet to figure out how to add these using registry. So for the time being i am using a workaround. If we copy any icon to \Windows\Start Menu\Settings, the icon appears in Start>Settings>System. So it is those SYSTEM icons that are appearing in SPB Mobile Shell menu. It is a design flaw of Mobile Shell and it should not do this.For now, there is no solution for this problem.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Version 2.5 is Online

Please note that Windows Live is not present in this build. But hotmail and windows live mail users can now access their account using pop3 access. For information on how to do that, please see post #2.

I have reverted to Cyberon Voice Commander as I did not found Microsoft Voice Command as useful as Cyberon and the size was big too. Problems with bluetooth are also gone in this build and i hope this is true for other problems too.

Enjoy! :)

can please provide xip and sys folder for this build or kitchen will be great.. :):)
[P3400 ROM Development] jasondavidbyrne:
Hi once again Krazy...sorry for posting this in this thread...but I jst downloaded ur 6.1 v2.5...am thinking about flashing it however can you produce the same RAM magic in 6.5 as u have done in 6.1 (28-30MB). I seriously love the 6.5 and find the UI better looking and would not like to flash to 6.1 (2.5) if you can give me a solution to my issue.....The RAM is just not enough in 6.5....starts at 23 mb and keeps decreasing to around 15 mb and then the phone starts hanging alot. For e.g. when the phone is locked and a call comes in, it hangs....looking forward to ur response.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Ankit: Yaar, screenshots of all WM 6.1 ROMs look same, i never customize the home screen, so whats the use? I post all the details in the first post, so i thought there is not much need of screenshots. What do you think?

@HKSin1988: Its even better with me, i am getting 31.17 MB on startup on freshly installed ROM :D After all installations and 6 Email accounts, RAM is 28.97 MB on startup and 25 MB on general use, Awesome, I keep astonishing myself :D

@Pank789: There is no need to provide kitchen buddy. I have made sure all the dsms in this build are complete, i have ran builddsm.exe through every package. So this rom will dump 100% perfect. Dump it, extract xip and do the usual stuff that you do with Ramerson's kitchen (my preferred for WM 6.1) and you will get the kitchen. I am sorry but i wont upload the whole kitchen readymade. I expect some work on your part too, if you like to have it your way :D A bit rude i am, isnt it :)

@jasondavidbyrne: Buddy, I have discussed this before also, WM 6.5 has memory leaks problems right now and thats what causes RAM to disappear after a while. Now if I was in Microsoft under Windows Mobile 6.5 Team, i could have thought of something but right now i have no control over Microsoft's code. Ya, my rom has less RAM then helgee's and i am yet to figure out the reason for that. Whenever i get it right i will improve the ROM, thats for sure. SO keep your fingers crossed :)
[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
Hi Sumit

May be you are bored of this comment - "This ROM is so far the best", as people keep saying the same thing after each release from you. But, can't help it, because that is what the truth is. Another killer ROM from you that too with 31 MB plus RAM at start-up! Thanks a million...

At least i have decided to stick to this WM 6.1 build, till a bug-free WM 6.5 is out. With SPB mobile shell, I don't think that I will ever have complaint about the interface as well. Thanks again!
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thanks Dheeraj :) It may sound strange, but comments like that never get me bored :D I love praises because of perfectly being a human :) On a serious note, ya this ROM is one of the best i have ever made with good balance of features and performance. Plus this time, i have made it sure that chefs that always want to have roms their way can dump it properly and use it as base. SO all in all, this ROM has got something for everyone :) I wonder if i could achieve the same feat with WM 6.5, that would be really great, although i doubt so. Winth 6.5 one of the biggest problem is that we wont have a native 6.5 kernel ever and the dpi files are also not native for 96 dpi (qvga) as 6.5 is not made with qvga in mind. So i cannot guarantee performance but ya, if only the memory leaks get disappeared, it will become usable atleast.
[P3400 ROM Development] Pank789:
hi krazy,

thanks for the reply buddy but again i request you for sys and oem folder or steps to dump them to use with ramsernav's kitchen.

i tried dumping nbh file using the kitchen but i m getting error with viewimgfs executable.

i also tried ramsernav's steps to dump the rom but oem and sys packages are not comming properly..

i tried combining the output of visual kitchen with ramsernav's kitchen but

NO LUCK :(

What is the different xip for Old Gene and New Gene? only in address or the contain of files?

[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Dumb Question

@krazy:

1. pkgtool and pkg_Cp did not work on this ROM completely I guess and hence I guess you have uploaded the XIP and SYS.

2. So I am assuming the OEM folder is ok?

3. What to do with romhdr.bin and XIP_Bins ?

Thanks and sorry for the dumb query :o
[P3400 ROM Development] Pank789:
which kitchen u r using as i tried to build the rom using the xip and sys folders and OEM dumped using ramerson's kitchen but again no luck .. :(

its failing while creating os-new.nb file. some times imgfstodump

if everything goes right device stuck at boot screen itself

i tried using the ankits build method even in that case my device stuck at boot screen only

i am having old gene also i tried the xip which worked with my device previously but :(

that was for sumit ..
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
LOL. No way to know :confused:
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
To cook in Ramerson's kitchen you need to do following steps :

1. Prepare OEM and SYS as you want.

2. A folder ROM must contain your XIP in dumped form (extracted form). The XIP for new gene should be in a sub folder called XIP_NEW and for old in XIP_OLD.

3.A folder called base with following contents :

(i). Extrom.nb: the extrom file. Use 4 MB version for optimal result.

(ii). gene-imgfs-xpr-hdr.bin : The gene file system image with XPR compression. LZX doesn't works properly with Ramerson's kitchen. YOu cannot create this file, you need it from Ramerson's original kitchen.

(iii). os-hdr.nb : This file is created using nbwork.exe passing it 3 other files as parameters, use this command line :

nbwork -b template.nb os-hdr.nb xip0.bin xip.bin +1 imgfs.bin

here:

-template.nb is os-hdr.nb taken from original kitchen.

-or-hdr.nb is the final file that we want to create. Ramerson's kitchen needs os-hdr.nb as name.

-xip0.bin is a 0 byte, empty text file renamed to xip0.bin, can be created using notepad.

-xip.bin is the ported xip that you are using with your kitchen.

-imgfs.bin is again gene-imgfs-xpr-hdr.bin renamed to imgfs.bin. This is an empty file system image.

Actually os-hdr.nb is a partition format specifier. It is used during the cooking process to create OS.nb file. This file contains all the partitions that are to be flashed into the phone. os-hdr.nb specifies where the partitions being and where they end, their size, format etc.

(iv). xip0.bin: this is again the 0 byte file that we created in previous step.

(V). xip_new_gene.bin or/and xip_old_gene.bin : The ported xip according to your phone.

I hope this info will help you in proceeding further.

Good Luck! :)
