I've been using a VERY old version of HTC's Connection Setup. Next release will have the most up to date one. Maybe this will fix the MMS configuration isssues people are having.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
is anyone having battery loss issues, it seems i barely get a day of battery and have to charge every night to have my battery full for the day, maybe i need to use a newer battery not sure just wondering
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ruebyi:
Well, I didn't recognize any strange behaviour with battery, but my Herald is a lot of time connected to my PC.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] kobi_eidelman:
i had this problem with other roms, but not with juststable. try to charge the battery fully,and then reflash the rom. maybe in this way, the phone will "learn" how the battery should be.

don't run to buy a new battery, anyway

good luck

Looks like something doesn't work on my herald, I flashed 15v2h.7z but when I start my pda it seem stuck on the first screen (htc smart mobility).

How to fix it?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
The same way you fix any bad flash. Put the phone into bootloader mode and flash again to another ROM if you have HardSPL or the RUU if you don't. I'll be fixing 15v2h later as I'm working on transfering everything to a new kitchen.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] undying1983:
I'm trying to load another ROM into bootloader mode but when I'm at 3% the pda reset itself and the RUU gives me the error 270, I think it is due to the vista os, I tried to fix it with some vistaRUU driver but I do not solve the problem.

Any advice?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Is your phone HardSPL'ed? Or did you flash it with USPL?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
JustcHome is my 6.5 ROM. It's MUCH MUCH earlier in its development than JustStable.

I'm not sure why it's not running smoothly. Which ROMs has it run smoothly on? Maybe we can find a common ground. I want to make this fast with the majority of programs.

As far as speed from taking out programs, the less stuff within the Windows folder, the faster the ROM is.

Calculator - The stripped version won't have this.

File Explorer - I used to have both managers but people complained about having them both in there. I'd rather not remove parts of windows that may or may not be needed later on.

IE - JustStable has the newest version of IE. PocketIE6. It's actually not horrible. I'm not sure as far as its memory usage, though. Either way, it's no OperaMini, but nothing really is.

Internet Sharing - Lets you use your Edge connection through your computer by tethering.

Messaging -- I'm not sure if this would be possible to remove.

SIM Manager - Actually, I was thinking of removing this. I wasn't sure if anyone else used it, either.

Tasks - Part of Windows.

Windows Media... It's needed for ringtones to work. If I knew which dll's were needed only, I'd get rid of it since I also don't really use it.

HTC Home - This won't be in the stripped version.

Lock - You mean the default windows lock?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
It always starts great, super fast.

I haven't been able to deconstruct when it starts to lag, but for sure when loading any music player -- and i understand this is due to initial scans for media files... But why, in subsequent loads, should there be a lag (i mean in anyone's ROM)? isn't it just a datafile indexing the media files?

Also for sure in invoking SKtools. that takes forever and a day to load, which is annoying, and reason alone to dump it as a uti;ity. the cost-benefit ratio is terrible.

I have no idea if my usage of PCM keyboard or S2U2 slows things down. They never seem to lag.

what is cprog.exe ... that thing is always hogging ton of CPU processing, evebn when nothing is going on. Isn't that the phone application suite?

When I check Task Manager under processes, it's always the hog.

I don't feel comfortable giving this feedback because I don't know enough and have no basis for knowing whuch apps and processes tax the memory or processor.

Hmm, re windows media player. typical MS, requirtes bloatware to perform an integral function. I will go play dummy (i do that very well) and ask on these forums "Can ringtones be made to operate without WMP? if so,how?"

I do know that with audio manager you can SET a file as RINGTONE... I haven't seen that on other audio players. maybe that is no indocation at all of whether something else could drive the ring tones.

Ivan, when I go make minor registry adjustments for font sizes, following the prescribed proceedures, that doesn't introduce any added burden, does it?

I will do some tests removing pocketplayer and some of those utilities, and then see how ifonz runs. It ran fine 2 versions ago. but that is misleading -- and not apples to apples, because i added additional software inclu sktools and pocket player.

Yes. But I recognize many people use it.

But re all those items in the Communications settings... I kjnow this sounds ignorant and goofty, but do ALL of those really impact: connecting my phone, connecting my data, connecting wifi, connecting bluetooth, beam... I'm sure yes, but it has always seemed cumbersome to me.(that is from a dumb consumer perspective)

I know that I am ready to use whatever you next put out. I am about done in terms of patience waiting to get a useable phone. what i mean is, my work requires heavy multimedia usage, video, etc... so until i learn how to use sashimi )to help automate backup/restore not just apps but their settings), i just don't have the time anymore to test iterations.

Ivan, I note you have not commented upon several people's suggestions to eliminate arcsoft from the rom, and let people load their own version. what's the rreason for that, if i may ask?

thanks as always
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
This is a random bug that happens on all kinds of ROMs that run Windows Mobile, whether it be WM6 or WM6.1, stock or third party. I don't know what causes it, either. All I know is that reflashing tends to fix the issue.

I'd have to figure out what part of WMP is needed for the ringtones. I assume it's the codecs more than anything else.

No.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking if the control panel items slow down the ROM?

I did. For the few that will be happy with not having arcsoft, I'll have a billion new people complaining that MMS isn't working because they didn't install arcsoft themselves. lol I'm working on making MMS work, though. :p
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
One last check on top bar icon set: new ones were posted in Raphael thread

These were posted tonight -- specifically as QVGA versions of some VGA icons in the Raphael forum. Ivan, I know you solved this already with a previous set. This is just to let you know this set exists -- in case there are any differences you like.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
Are you saying it actually IS hogging resources, or the bog is that it APPEARS to be hogging resources? ... Whenever I flash, I follow "best practices" and, upon hitting the first prompt to align the screen, I the do another hard reset to repeat that process.

Are you suggesting that actually flashing again from the RUU.exe could possibly eliminate the problem? If so, I would not mind AT ALL just making it my standard practice to flash, reset, and then repeat the whole flash process. That's a small price to pay for a performance improvement -- IF that's what you mean. But I doubt it is what you mean :)

No. it'e even dumber than that ! I was trying to ask: Cant you dump some of those controls, or are they all necessary? I mean wifi has about 3 different pieces to it, vs what would prob be the apple method: "Wi-Fi Controls" (turn on/turn on) and the available networks always appear by default, as tyhey do on most people's laptops and wifi desktops. just disregard this...

You're right, I read that. I just thought maybe subsequent to that you'd actually "come to your senses", deciding the proper course of action is to eliminate it, and send such people who can't or won't read an auto-reply:
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
This bug is only there if you notice the process taking almost all the CPU. It also KILLS the battery. I'm not sure how badly it affects performance, though.

hehe, Well, it starts getting annoying after a while. As it is, my PM box is constantly complaining that I have to delete messages because it's almost full.

I did manage to update the connection setup wizard on the newest build, which I haven't released, yet. Hopefully this will help.

Other than that, I've been working on a new kitchen that lets you cook in both LZX and XPR compressions. All you do is tell it what compression algorithm you want to use and the kitchen does the rest. You choose your packages, click on build, and after you close the BuildOS window, it automatically knows what to do as far as compression, and it does it all on the fly (including hex editing the needed files on the fly) then it automatically changes the pagepool and gives you an option to change it as it does it. Then it automatically creates the NBH without the need for input from the user. The point is to make it as user friendly as possible. (Actually... it's to make my life easier when it comes to cooking. lol)

I'm actually thinking of making this a multidevice kitchen. (Oh, and I'm not including the actual ROM parts, only the kitchen and the files needed for the compression and everything else mentioned here.) Anyhoo... I got off subject.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] undying1983:
I used USPL method
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Then you have to flash back to your default RUU first before you can flash again as you can't flash with any other certificate but the default. (USPL only temporarily disables the certificate checking.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] undying1983:
What do you mean for default RUU?

Well, I'll tell you what I'm trying, I connect my herald to the computer in bootloader mode, I go to the RUU folder, where is the NBH file, and I try to start the romupdateutility.exe, in the end when it start transfering I got a black screen on the pda and the error 270 on the computer.

I'm an italian noob, sorry for my bad english and sorry if a wrote something stupid :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Use the default ROM that came with your phone. If you used USPL, it's the only ROM you can flash unless you use USPL again after windows has loaded.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
It does affect the phone, but I'm not sure to what degree. It depends on what Priority the process takes above other processes. It DOES kill the battery quite fast, though. I'll give you that much. I don't remember how the performance was affected, though.

I don't clock hours, but I don't think you'd want to know the time I have spent on this ROM. lol From creating, modifying, etc the kitchen itself to obsessively testing and retesting and flashing and reflashing, tweaking a little here and there, changing whole sections out altogether, etc. I'm thinking that I've developed a bit of OCD about this ROM. lol

^_^ I appreciate the editorial. Made me feel good.

I do understand the issue and I wish it would change. XDA has become a full "gimme, I have the right to everything without work" and the people who contribute have become a dying breed.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
ok il try that i figured that might be the case i already have a new battery i bought when i bought the phone so ill just put that in and hope it works, i really didnt think it was the rom thats why i asked if anyone else had any issues, so thanks :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
It may be that strange bug mentioned above. It happens randomly on random ROMs and usually a simple hard reset or reflashing fixes it. I still can't figure out where the bug comes from.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] undying1983:
Thank you very much Ivan, I was giving up, now everything works fine, you are the best ;)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
music player

ok and the music player still doesnt work but all you have to do is install the cab file ill post and it will work, dont know if its worth ivan to cook in the rom since its so easy to install the cab,
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
ok ivan thanks ill put in my new fully charged battery when i flash the next version :)

one question the rom is super fast already and iv read about overclocking, i dont need to overclock on a already fast rom do i?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Are you saying that the built-in one isn't working? (There isn't a built-in one, which is why I disable the music tab (and to save memory.) Or that when you install any OTHER cab other than this one, it doesn't work? I'm confused. :p
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
by default the music player is not on the home screen, when i go to settings and activate the music player i get a warning that the music player isnt there or cannot be found, so i install the above cab file then the music player works perfectly, do i make more sense now maybe not lol let me know
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Ok. Yes, the error is because I don't build the player in. lol

I disable it because I don't use it and it just takes up memory and space in my case. :p So, yes, to use the tab, you MUST install the player. ^_^

wm 6.5 help possibly

hey ivan, i just flashed my wife's wizard with a fairly stable wm6.5 rom , this guy has two versions a "stable" and a manilla2d version (i am using the manilla ver.). I know that the wing and the wizard are fairly similar phones so i didn't know if maybe he could help u figure out what problems u may be having with it. I am a little jealous my wifes wizard already has 6.5...lol!

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ruebyi:
Hi Ivan!

Found another "Bug" in 15v1 herald (not able to flash 15v2)

The Volume Icon in Taskbar is only skinned when volume is above 0. For vibrate and Mute the Standard Icons are shown.

ruebyi
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
ivan your 15v2 is already fast, is it worth it to overclock the rom or is that just to make slower roms faster, any other benefit to overclocking?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jjroc1:
no this was on a wizard only

i was just giving ivan another cook who has successfully got 6.5 working so maybe they could talk and get it working for wing/herald
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Overclocking makes things faster at the cost of battery. I don't really overclock my ROMs (Never seen a need to) so I don't know if it makes a huge difference with our phones.

That bug isn't there in 15v3, or least not when I use it.

As far as 15v2 not working, I'm not sure if it's something in the server or something in the ROM.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ruebyi:
15v3 ???

Are you already uploading? :D

ruebyi
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Not uploading it, yet. I did change a few things so that hopefully MMS works fine now, but it's not tested. I tested sending but I haven't tested receiving. Which one was it people were having problems with? Sending works fine with v3.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
iv had issues with each juststable rom but was easily fixed by installing the most recent version of arcsoft, so not a big deal imo :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Chongie:
Hi Ivan,

I am sorry to sound impatient but when is 15v3 going to be made available?

Because i heard that 15v2 had problems getting passed the flash screen I skipped it.

Thanks.

Chongie
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Haven't had time to really work on it. But probably today during work after my training session. I think it MAY be close to being Beta. I'm gonna ramp up production on it and also start backporting features to JustcHome. I'm also working on kitchens modifications for many different phones. I'm almost thinking of porting bepe's most recent visual kitchen to the Herald or even turning it into a multidevice kitchen with multiple compression and all.

I was about ready to upload 15v3 when I made 15v4. This one has a fixed rhodium notification enhancement!

I've tried my best to fix MMS. I've also included a newer version of the network configuration wizard. If you have tmobile, I don't think you need to run it. There should also be a 3mb limit on MMS's. I also created a new kitchen based on Bepe's newest kitchen. I don't know why since the old one worked fine, but this new kitchen makes cooking a much faster process.

I get a bad image file corrupt while using the Update utility on my wing. What to do? :confused:
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
Have you flashed other ROMS before to your Wing? For example, is your Wing "Hard SPL'd" ?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ruebyi:
Sounds great! Can't wait for the new Upload!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] DrogenDiego:
waiting for the upload too :)

The new rhodium notification system just rules!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] xecutionkrk:
Yes i followed the topic "Hard spl in detail wing/herald" , my spl version is 4.26.xxx
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Compressing the Wing version right now. I'll be creating and compressing the Herald version and uploading them both in a few.

The newer build doesn't have the connection wizard startup automatically, you must run it manually from the connection part of the settings. This is the only way I could get the new version of it to play nice.

I tested it and MMS sending AND receiving is working. I didn't try sending a large picture, but there should be a file limit of 3MB.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] DrogenDiego:
niceeee I'll be flashing as soon as its out! Thanx bro

Sir Ivan, if it is easy to do, time-wise, would you post a screenshot of the new notification system?

i'm very excited about this new release... I just have to learn SASHIMI right now, because I now have my config optimal for all menus, apps, themes, and using iFonz, which is working just fine now for me.

So, my original and consistent intent: to have a clean ROM upon which I could run iFonz, is now apparently met :)

thanks chef!

No problem. But it'll have to be after I come back from lunch. ^_^
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] xecutionkrk:
Ok I nevermind, I got it working. But one thing I don't like is the start menu opens as scrolling menu rather than the default link style. How can that be fixed?

Thanks.

It's not broken. :p

Go to start, quickmenu, then exit.

Choose, exit and don't restart.

SASHIMI HELP please

That was me :) :D

Now, can you help me make sure I use it correctly please?

I've spent a ton of hours customizing the apps and themes and settings and registry items I use to make my Wing work effectively. And I have spent similar days getting iFonz set up for me -- my preferred app launcher for now.

I am hoping that Sashimi will enable me to now save & preserve all of that stuff, so that then I can flash Ivan's new release and feel solid & confident that all that customization can be replicated using some kind of automation.

I'm going to go view the youtube video again, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANgzCqrcjHw , but for now, could you tell me just the "Sashimi 101" essentials.

Will I be, esssentially, going inot all of my app folders and saving off various configuration files, then storing them somewhere in Sashimi folder.. then save copy of my whole registry... then add all my cab files for all my apps, etc. Is that the basic idea?

And then, once the backup process occurs, does Sashimi create ONE installation/ restoration script, or is there a whole series of items I will need to babysit as it goes and recreates all those customizations?

I hope you see this Thursday and reply asap (!) because I am anxious to be done with customization for a long long time ! I really need to use my phone!

thanks much,
