yes I noticed. working on it. Somehow missing the driver.:confused:

Working on a "service pack and so far fixed album gesture; support link in the internet tab; bta2dp... working on this wifi issue. as soon as I am done I will post a cab to solve this thing before I cook it in.

SVI:

I'm pleased to see that you fixed your MDA and that cornelha's toolkit is working for you.

Do you have any thoughts as to differences between 20931 and 20273? I assume that there are many undocumented bug fixes and optimizations, but have you actually observed anything?

I will flash ANGEL at some point, and I'll try to remember to do some before-and-after benchmarking (from HORNET Manilla 3.8) to see for myself.

Just curious.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
SP1 is uploaded!!! Please install the update!

When you do the benchmarks let me know the results. It is deffinately a higher build, and it seems faster. The rom is not the HORNET as I started almost from scratch after pillaging Cornelha's rom for packages. It behaves differently...

I POSTED SP1 on second post!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
FYI: I ran SP1 in 923b and now the wifi starts on the first tap.

Also, the icon shows syncing again - thank you.

I put the image association back to album because I like the way it handles viewing pictures. But that is why we all tweak to our own flavors.

---------------

I just noticed Wireless LAN settings does not show my connection, but Configure Wireless Networks does show I am connected. This could be because I did not update to [01] version.

I won't be able to do that until next week.

Manilla 2D landscape?

Thanks for the ROM S.V.I! I love your ROMs, more than the TNT series :)

I recently tried your Manilla 2D Beta 4.5 ROM, and this ROM, and I'm facing a small problem with them, Manilla 2D doesn't work in landscape mode :(

Every time I go landscape, either it flips back to portrait, or it doesn't resize well to the new position, so, I was wondering, is it a Manilla bug? and is there some work around for it? I really love landscape mode :)

Interesting observation

Thanks, Mick. By stylus reset you mean the side reset button, right? (the screen was unresponsive, at least in my case).

Another question: Have you tried to use VoIP with this ROM?...

Now, here is an interesting observation: I tried to access streaming media (music, video clips) from a couple of web sites using IE, Opera mini, and Opera. All three failed. However, Skyfire succeeded with no problems whatsoever even though it's beta and free (?). What's your own experience with media?

S. V. I., thanks again for this great ROM. The more I use it, the more I'm convinced it's the best I've seen (and I've tried lots of ROMs).

Yes, the side reset button.

I had it occur again and the reset did not work, had a thought and disconnected the USB cable and tried again and it worked. May be related.

VoIP. I tried out skype using a WiFi connection, it works but with a little breakup. It has been mentioned before that the Wizard performance is a limiting factor when running Skype the suggestion being to overclock in order to get good results.

I see that Omapclock defaults to 180, I have previously used Battery Status which includes Omap software that ups the cpu clock on demand. Might play with that sometime.

Talking of WiFi. Have had a couple of problems with WiFi, it can get itself into an undefined state where from the Comms Manager it cannot be turned on or off.

The switch will go black but then not blue and then it cannot be enabled at all. One time I went into the settings|wireless LAN and turned i ton from there but could then not turn it off using the Comm Manager and had to power off using the power switch.

I have only tried it using Google Video so far which worked OK.

Skyfire sounds useful. Will get a copy.

Transcriber, not included?

I did some searches and there are a number of threads about raisning this question in general WRT to WM 6.1. Seems that it is an option, something about Windows Mobile Pro, anyone seen a fix for the Wizard?

VoIP, Wi-Fi, and OmapClock

Thanks, Mick.

VoIP: I meant the native VoIP. It works on some ROMs, and it doesn't work on others. I'm curious if anybody tried the native VoIP with Angel?...

OmapClock: The version built into Angel doesn't remember the value set by the user, and resets it to the default of 180 when the device is off. So, it's fairly useless.

WiFi: I don't have problems with it except for occasional need to click twice. So, perhaps there is some interaction with additional programs you're using.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
Go to \windows\startup and select smartskey. Accept closing smartskey program. Go to \windows and edit smartskey.ini by using total commander or copying it to your PC. Search for OMAP in the file and remove the comment marker ";" and set the clock speed you want. Copy back to your phone. Click \windows\smartskey. It does not state it has started, but it should. You can confirm it has started by selecting it again, it will ask if you want to close it and you can select no.

Now whenever you reset, smartskey will restart OMAP when it restarts itself.

Whenever you decide to change the clock speed, you will need to edit smartskey.ini to this new speed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mick.j:
I am now thinking that the problem is only seen when the active sync connection is present. Yes, although it is redundant to run active sync and WiFi at the same time, with WM5 it would run and I could check out stuff like peekpocket but it looks like with WM 6 it results in a conflict. Have been checking this stand alone for a day or so and not repeated in "normal" use. :)

So I think my earlier bug report re. WiFi can be ignored.

Regarding VoIP, RoryB provided the link below in order to obtain a Transcriber install, also there is a VoIP install for the TNT ROM. Might be worth a try.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366878

Edit, there is an option here for setting the CPU clock speed that works a little like the Battery Status version, which ramps the speed up and down dependent on CPU load. OMAPClockKeep runs the CPU clock at a max and idle setting.

I will give this a try soonish.

Please, how change Manilla's theme?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] LivArt:
use M2DC, search it here
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
refer to the manila 2D customizer thread in develoement and hacking. also the manila 2D skins thread. you can also take the "manilaGFX" folder from windows and copy that to your PC. edit files with photoshop. make sure you save them in the same format they came in. copy the files to the manila gfx folder. that should do it.

If you want the original theme you can find the cab in the windows folder. (that only has files for the manila gfx folder and not the files in windows; those have to remain in windows for some of the tabs to work.)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
M2DC changing themes: You also might want to make a safe copy of the current HTCHomeSettings.xml since I think it might get changed by M2DC and you could lose the original theme.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] LivArt:
You can backup Your actuall theme in M2DC.

Thank you, max speed and slider

Many thanks, RoryB - that's very useful. What's the max speed you tried with this ROM? With other ROMs, I've seen anything from 200 to 230M. Some would freeze at their max rate, and it was quite difficult to unfreeze them...

Another detail: I noticed that the left-side slider in this ROM always works as volume control. In many other WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs, it activates scrolling in certain applications such as Contacts and web browsers. Do you by chance know how to make it behave so?...

Many thanks,

LK
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lkmda:
Many thanks

Many thanks, Mick. This is promising. Pls post results of your experiments - may be useful for many of us.

It's amazing how fast people in your link are driving their Wizards. I've never been able to go that fast without freezing....

I'll also try to experiment when I'll get back home (I'm traveling right now...).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
I do not use overclock. I have been happy with it as is. Also, I heard overclocking uses more battery life and I want the battery to last as long as possible.

That feature is part of smartskey. Go to the \windows folder and click smartskey.exe and accept stopping it. Then edit smartskey.ini with Total Commander or similar, or copy it to your PC. The ini file has explanations in it how to set clockspeed for reboot as well as how to change the function of the slider and softkeys.

Copy smartskey.ini back in to \windows folder and click smartskey.exe. Remember, it does not say it is starting it just starts.

Secutity and Signed Certificate issues

I get signed certificate issues when installing certian cabs and when I installed Fishopolis it in installed, but complains about not being able to inititialize security. Is security removed from this ROM or something to that effect?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mick.j:
I read further about OMAPClockKeep and find that it has one speed while the wizard is active and another when it is sleeping which is good I guess but as RoryB comments running a higher clock speed all the time the device is active may hit the battery harder and being constantly high may be stressful on the electronics, certainly some have mentioned that the temperature rise is noticeable when running long term at a higher clock speed.

Myself with the previous ROM I set the upper speed to 236 or so which gives about a 20% speed boost and does help with say TomTom when planning routes and when it recalculates when changing route. The lower speed being set to 140 which allegedly will improve battery life if the phone spends some significant period of time sleeping.

I have done some searches for Batterystatus running with Manilla2D and found the following solution.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2726238&postcount=940

The poster recommends that BatteryStatus is adequate for the task rather than its replacement HomeScreen++, BS comes with many other features including signal strength, memory usage, battery temperature, battery load and a host of other things. It looks like only HomeScreen++ is now available at the authors site at http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm.

I have found a version of batterystatus for download at http://www.4shared.com/file/56844591/4c7543e5/Battery_Status_104.html?err=no-sess

I might try this scheme out tomorrow (Thursday).

Any feedback available on this, I would rather not add the Audio Manager if there is another fix in order to save program memory.

Edit: BatteryStatus is now running using the above link for instructions and with a little setting up does the job. I use the CPUScaler option and also enable Taskbar Indicator. The current speed is displayed albeit a little crowded tucked under the Volume icon. Selecting it opens a menu giving access to options.

As the link above states this is just the nbf file. you will need a flashing utility to flash it. (can find it with he A3 download)

The "B" stands for beta. I fixed manila skin, overclocked to 216; set the weather to not download on auto; menu/window animations; new grey tsk (like TWOLF's idea) New manila clock gfx unlike any other skin you will find :cool:

Gmaps have been updated to 3.0.0.0.12 (download it via favorites) this is why I do not cook it in anymore.

Let me know what you think as soon as you can so I can release the final.

just noticed a battery drain problem due to smartskey.ini.

before you flash, copy the old smartskey.ini out of your device and replace the one in the new rom. or just copy and edit the one in the rom.

you have to use activesync to copy averwrite the file. I will fix that asap.

As I mentioned before I ran BatteryStatus with the SecondToday screen and it runs OK although when being woken the CPU speed is 195 rather than a lower value whereas I would expect it to be lower, probably a setting somewhere. The battery life was really hit dropping to 50% in just a few hours so have removed it for the moment. Will play a little more when I have time.

I checked with the task manager and nothing seemed particularly active, the most active program being the Active Sync killer but that, of course, was already in place before I added BatteryStatus.

While looking for BatteryStatus to download I came across a program called Vistahide Battery Gauge which complements very nicely the Memory gauge on the Task bar in the Angel. The exe file in the attached zip needs to be copied to the wizard, I copied it to the Windows folder and then placed a shortcut in the Startup folder

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mick.j:
I tried the CAB that I listed earlier that did this same fix for another HTC device and it adds the various shortcuts and registry entries but it then caused problems with the Buttons setup app, the buttons were no longer listed. :)

But it does look like some shortcuts and registry entries may be needed. Strangely the actual record app hotvoice.exe does not run when clicked on directly so may also need some registry settings.

The recorder in Notes does record OK but have no idea if this uses hotvoice.exe, I tried to see using the taskmanager but every time I switched to the task manager the recorder in Notes automatically switches off. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] tekknogenius:
hotvoice.exe only runs when it is attached to a press-and-hold button (ie, as long as the button is pressed it will run, when the button is released it will stop). That is the intended functionality of hotvoice.exe (hence the "hot" in hotvoice.exe).

all because i wanted to do it fast and check out whats new on this rom SVI ur a murderer uve murdered my contacts and other stuff on my phone how can u be so cruel and release such good roms that im forced to flash new ones as soon as i can??

well crying is over n since the milks already been spilt so heres my take on angel 4 so far havent really found a problem, memory is awesome, the recording button ofcourse is still on the fritz like already been noted, theme is agian a major plus point

there is jus one thing i hope ud think about maybe adding a rssfeed reader? Its not tht big of an issue installing it an all but its just something tht looks so much better when its built in like in craken's rom.

will post more as i go along
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mick.j:
That is what is not working, when holding the button that is or indeed a momentary push.

But I was also curious that it also did not run when simply selected. The shortcut includes the switch /q when the button 4 is held and no switch in the shortcut for when it is momentarily pressed. I am guessing "q" is for quiet, that is, going straight to record rather than opening the app to wait for user input. I am using the CAB that I referenced earlier for the details of the shortcuts and registry entries.

I have not as yet worked through all the linkages of shortcuts and registry settings involved but I am a little curious in normal times as to why it will run from a momentary push -> shortcut but not from explorer. Something to investigate. :)

For the moment I might just link Notes into the momentary push on button 4.

This little issue aside, the ROM (version A3) is working great.

http://rapidshare.com/files/212461570/SVI-A4-B2.nbf

Here is another test update.

I put in HTC recorder just in case the ms one did not work. (I would rather get the stock one working because it takes less space......

Never mind. Fixed the recorder.:D

I also fixed the clock in today screen. You can now have a space where you can tap the screen if it should turn off on you,.. without opening the clock settings.

This one is not overclocked. eats too much power.

I also added Pocket RAR and associated it with RAR and ZIP files

You can now change the background with MS-PIMG for the today/Home tab; However you still need to use M2DC to change the background in the rest of the tabs. Make sure you backup the original background png in \Windows\ManilaGFX folder.

Please let me know what you think. is there anything broken? It's hard for me to keep up and remember everything I need to do with this thing.

Let me know how it goes...
