cab file that can be installed on Liberated Snap VUE for mic n Phone

GREAT WORK GUYS

one question

Is there a cab file that can be installed on Liberated Snap VUE to get the mic

and phone working ? Any plans for releasing it soon ?

Or the only option available is to Flash ROM ?

PS: I do not need GPS , just mic and phone on liberated SnapVUE will be Great
[Shift Development] putrawanz:
help me

where can i get the radio update , it is "romupdateutility.exe" i cannot find when i download all the file?thanks a lot to thaihugo and cmonex.. i love u all:D:D
[Shift Development] saiweb:
thaihugo

you beat me. I had been pulled into a business travel engagement and lost opportunity to post the first cooked rom. I am away from my Shift. I will try to compete with you on supporting the headset though, once I go back home. :-)

Congratulations. Will let you know once I go back and flash the shift.

[Shift Development] sniveri:
I don`t know if this can be somehow fixed, but if you lost connection and pin-code is asked that "cannot connect"-balloon appears so often that it is allmost impossibe to retype pin. Same goes when you reboot winmo and you don`t right away type your pin.

Second thing is that this rom does not have portrait/landscape selection in screen settings.

Everything else works really fine! Thanks for awesome rom, when wired headset can be used it is perfect :) (I don`t really need SD or bluetooth on winmo).

ps. Is there a registry setting for speaker phone so it could be forced to be used all time, or can speaker be mapped as "phone-speaker"? (also registry editor would be nice to have allready cooked in rom)
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
portrait landcape is a registry key HKLM/system/gdi/rotation/disable.... Next version will have it deleted by default.

If you navigate to windows/settings, you will find a registry editor.

For speaker, I'm looking into it.
[Shift Development] alex_time:
For screen rotation install this, is http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pocket-device-power-manager-v1-0.html is just 120Kb, it adds a soft reset link (wich is missing right now) and a screen rotation tool.
[Shift Development] alex_time:
Wonderfull ROM!

Anyway there are things that maybe can be improved, like:

Impossible to add a Mail and Calendar on the Today screen;

Missing the Phone icon under Start->Settings to change network, Pin, etc. (but you can open it if you click on the connection icon on start bar, then the Setting link);

Missing a soft reset tool (for now this http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pocket-device-power-manager-v1-0.html can do the job)

Missing a screen rotation tool (for now, this again http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pocket-device-power-manager-v1-0.html can do the job)

Missing a link to the registry editor under Windows to the Programs Fodler;

Missing the old SnapVue Setting folder, even if all the programs and icons are still under the Windows folder;

Remove the Guava Bubbles.cab under Windows folder to free 113K

Remove the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml under Windows folder to free 233K (we do not need it without a weather tool like HTC Home)

Remove the RILProxyLogPPC_Crossbow.cab under Windows Programs to free 210K;

Remove the Windows Mobile Green.cab under Windows folder to free 103K.

What do you think thaihugo?
[Shift Development] alex_time:
To have at least a Today notification on new sms and email incoming, I installed this http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html not very light but it works, even if the icon size is a bit buggy...there is a cab for HTC Home that works on Shift??
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Agree with you. I want to find some thinks on speakerphone before posting new rom, but a cleanup is needed. As for the all purpose tool, I'll add taskmanager back.
[Shift Development] martelasol:
It compliments thaihugo! For the Italian language? Thanks :)
[Shift Development] alex_time:
First of all change the keyboard layout:

Change the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLan to whatever you want your layout to be. The default is CurLang=409 (hex).

English - 409 (tested - works)

Finnish - 40b (tested - works)

Swedish - 41d (tested - works)

German - 407 (tested - works)

Italian - 410 (tested - works)

Make sure to edit the value in hex!

Bye
[Shift Development] martelasol:
many thanks alex_time, I ago have the described procedure, but to the restart snapvue he is always English. How I can make? Thanks

Working nicely, based on my very limited testing. Thanks to all who worked on this. If anyone is looking for mirrors, here are rapidshare ones. Please verify MD5 checksum after downloading to ensure that whatever you're downloading jives with whatever thaihugo put up in the first post.

RADIO ---> http://rapidshare.com/files/202458716/Radio.rar

ROM v2 ---> http://rapidshare.com/files/202460130/romv2.rar

For Windows users, you can download an MD5 calculator here ---> http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-calculator.shtml (or just Google for "MD5 calculator" and download from a trusted source!)
[Shift Development] august8:
Whoops, spoke too soon. Once the device "turns off" on the WinMo side, ie. the screen turns off, no amount of pressing on the snapvue button will make it turn on again except for a soft reset on the Vista side. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's very strange. The 3G indicator light is still flashing periodically, so it's not as if the WinMo side has died completely.

Help?
[Shift Development] sniveri:
click settings->connection->usb to pc and enable advanced network functionality.
[Shift Development] cmats:
Yep same problem here had to remove batery to gat the winmo starting again !
[Shift Development] Pantaloonie:
How long does it take before it shuts down?

I've sat here looking at it for the last 35 mins, trying to duplicate the problem, but it hasn't turned itself off - not running on battery though, are you?

Edit - I switched to battery power, it went to sleep after a few mins, but came back on when i hit the snapvue button.
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
No problem here either.....strange.

[Shift Development] erezj:
thank you all for your amazing work.

i need some help ( looks like im missing something).....

why cant i install any cab on the shif after the rom upgrade?

i tried even to install vi exe files from the vista side... i get installation unsuccessful...

what didnt i do after the rom upgrade?
[Shift Development] sniveri:
That is because you have advanced network functionality selected. if it is not selected this black screen issue comes along old problem and solved in other threads.

mic on snap vue without flashing custom rom

hi,

is there any way to get the mic on snapvue without flashing custom rom...can any developer help here to give instructions to get mic working on liberated snap vue?

thanks
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Make sure you install V2 rom
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Nope, it will never happen. You need to flash rom and radio to get sound working. even by inserting dlls by cab, you will only get a hissing sound.
[Shift Development] shawankit:
thanks forthe quick reply...appreciate if you an tell me the dll name that fixes the mic problem...or if you can post the fixed dll it wilbe great. iwoul like to experiment with it...thanks for all yourkind help..
[Shift Development] wr6969:
This is really awesome work. Downloaded and installed, and here is my feedback so far:

The biggest issue seems to be whenever there is a data session active in Vista. If there is, no incoming call can be received in WinMo. This is very strange, because I understand that voice takes priority over data. Once Vista is shutdown/hibernated or the data session terminated, voice calls can come in again.

I tested with a data session active in IE in WinMo by browsing a website. With the data icon still active, I made a call and it was received OK in WinMo. Strange. It seems as if Vista is hogging the entire line when it uses the cellular line's data connection, preventing all voice calls from getting to the WinMo side

The above testing was conducted with my EDGE line; I don't have a 3G voice-and-data line to test with (I only have a few data only SIMs for 3G)

Maybe someone can test and see if they are experiencing the same things as what I am experiencing? Otherwise, this v2 ROM is great!

Oh, and I haven't found a way to forward my calls to another one of my backup voice only lines when I go out and don't want to carry the Shift! Any pointers would be appreciated! :D

PS: Apologies to cmonex; I was helping her test out the SPL stuff when I had to disappear suddenly for unavoidable reasons and didn't let her know! Appreciate all the hard work put in, cmonex; wish I was more helpful!

speaker phone auto on

There seems to be one freeware program called "Speaker phone auto on" this could be used meanwhile someone gets better ideas. Haven`t tried it yet but I will try.
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
As far as the data/voice issue is concerned, I have always had the same thing happen if I am using Edge while on a data link with any of my phones. Try it on a 3g network and see what happens. I have 3g here at home and do not have that issue. If I am on a 3g data connection in either Vista or Winmo and a phone call comes in, it works fine and I do not even lose my data connection!

Don't know about the forwarding calls issue as I never have done that...... ;)

Later
[Shift Development] matthew.karas:
call forwarding

The GSM standard has codes for forwarding and other features. Some of them are not implemented by every provider, but they work by just typing in the code and pressing dial. There are lots of websites listing them. Here is one I just found:

http://www.geckobeach.com/cellular/secrets/gsmcodes.php

Irritatingly, despite being in some versions of the standard, I have never found an operator with which you can forward SMS messages, so if you have two numbers, you still end up carrying two phones (or a dual-SIM phone).

Hope this helps.

[Shift Development] august8:
Thanks, that worked! It's shocking how one little thing can break the entire operation of WinMo.

Can't Map Buttons

First, Great job on the Rom and Phone!! There are no buttons assigned though. How can I map the buttons to to use with a program? I'm using Voice Command, but need a button to activate it? I think it will require a reg hack, but not sure how to do it. Thanks.
[Shift Development] wr6969:
Thanks, the website's codes worked with my provider! I find it strange this is not built in to the current ROM? Or perhaps the "feature" was removed due to space constraints?

The other thing I noticed is that on my "phone" screen, the screen sometimes "shakes" 4/5 times, then is OK, then starts shaking again. Dodgy video drivers? The "shaking" is like those on old monitors when you place a cell phone too close to it.
[Shift Development] Blue_Lightning:
I want to know if this ROM can do 3G video call ???

if so, where can I get the dialer skin or somewhat like that ???
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
There is no issue. EDGE cannot allow voice and data at same time. Only 3G.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Nope because 1 there is no access to camera and 2 there is no drivers for video call. Look at video call support for universal on WM6.0 and you will see how long can be the suffering.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Nope this is not the dll fixing the sound, this is the dll fixing the phone added to the rom having the sound. So there is no way. And as I said, dlls are depend of the radio. So there is no point losing time posting them if you don't want flashing roms and radio.
[Shift Development] wr6969:
Oh, I was under the impression that whether you're on GSM or UMTS, the data session will either terminate or put "on hold" when you have an incoming voice call. When I tested in WinMo with Vista shut down, with a data session active (I can see the icon which denotes an active data session), when I call my own number, the phone rings. If Vista is on, and there is a data session, the call doesn't get through. Very strange.
[Shift Development] hykhleif:
guys since i am new on flashing roms and hardspl and to be accurate i never did any of those tasks. Do you think I should wait for sometime before I install the rom and radio, are there issues that need to be improved.
[Shift Development] sniveri:
If you don`t like this rom you can allways use another one. For me this rom is really good so go ahead and try it. issues that are presented does not limit using your device anyway. Those are more like improvements: getting headset working etc.
[Shift Development] joy.d:
perfect ROM like all Roms of Thaihugo :-)

Maybe you have a *.cab for the Softreset Button? (I kill sometimes my Shift and must softreset it)

Thank you - one milestone more :-)

help my shift always phone line disconnected automatically

help me thai hugo and cmonex:confused::confused::(:(.. my shift after i install your rom i have some problem, first i follow your procedure that hard spl the shift after that i install the radio then the rom v2 after that i get the new winmo that your create but the phone line going like crazy like sometimes the line is connected to the network then turn on the line automatically and show that the there are no service. then the line get back show 3g and H after 1 minute turn on the phone again... help... i try my sim at another phone can get the internet and call but at yours rom (radio i think) i get that error.. hope you can help me..:confused::confused::(:(
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
Have you made sure to set your network settings? In the phone settings you need to set the band properly. I used the "Auto" setting in both boxes then soft reset. That covers all available GSM and 3g bands.

Hope this helps you............ Later

Stupid Question, but ...

For starters - this is great work and thank you to all who worked harder than I ever could on it.

Now for the stupid question:

I note in the starting post that (quote) "this is GSM only". So ...

Does that mean that the Shift is now limited to the GSM bands only, or does this mean that phone calls only on GSM (I know we are not up to video calls yet)

Really, what I am asking is - if I flash all this, can I still access my NextG Telstra network (HDSPA 850 band - probably got the HDSPA letters around the wrong way again) for data?

Like I said, potentially very stupid question, but I have to ask :)

Nick
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
I am not familiar with Telstra. If Telstra uses the gsm bands (850-900-1800-1900 mhz bands) it will work fine. This will not work on the cdma shift i.e.Sprint. I believe that Telstra is GSM, so you should be fine. If you use a sim card, it is GSM.

Later
[Shift Development] nbos04:
hdbueller,

thank you for the reply. I just want to confirm (I'm "not the smartest man"), this radio version (for the European/Asian Shift) still maintains the Quad-Band GSM and Tri-Band UTMS. It doesn't over write the current ability of the shift, which is access to the GSM and UTMS hardware.

The only reason I ask is, not being very savvy in a lot of this, I want to make calls, but I want to maintain my HDSPA downloads (ie, I want my cake and I want to eat it to!)

Like I said, not savvy enough to know if anything I am saying is right.
[Shift Development] Rabia:
installed since 3 days and so far i would say its great so thank you Thaihugo for releasing this rom for the us who can't wait but CMONEX you are just a star, without you nothing could have happened, still waiting for more improvments like headset usage which am sure someone is working on it right now --Good Job Folks-- and for the disbelievers (anything can happen :) )

Problem with USBTOOL

i see that when i connected the usbtool when vista is running WMDC wi connected and automatically the 3G or H will disconnected then it after i tranfser all my files from vista to my document in WINMO then i disconnected the usbtool the 3G or H will connected again and going be crazy again.. always keep trying connected and disconnected again until show no service. then the line became good again.. but show 3G or H keep want connected but fail.. at last i do ROM upgrade again and become good again but i cannot use the usbtool if i want to transfer the file must sent through email.
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
Yes. You are correct................... Later
[Shift Development] hykhleif:
Guys please as I mentioned in my previous posts, I am a complete newbie, I am still trying to figure out when I will do it.

As I mentioned i never installed hardspl, but I know that my shift is liberated, since I the guy who sold it to me showed me that it is liberated.

When I finish from hardspl, do I have to re-liberate my shift before i start to install the rom and radio.

I hope someone will answer it now, so I am just awaiting this answer before I do the hradspl and install the rom and radio.

Please if you kn ow of any small hints to avoid problems in hardspl or install the rom and radio, mention them here and how to solve them.
[Shift Development] Ash2Dust:
try this cab for today..

So far seems to work quite well :)
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Once you have applied HardSPL, you will have an unliberated rom. But you can just flash the new rom and radio to get the new functions under a pre-liberated rom.
[Shift Development] hykhleif:
guys i followed all the steps of hardspl, and install radio and rom. The phone worked fine.

But one thing i noticed is that in snapvue the writing and icon became large became than it was before when it was liberated. How can can i make the icons and interface smaller.

Do u also think I can install mobipocket on window mobile side
[Shift Development] hykhleif:
guys please helphow do i install cab files after i did hardspl, installed radio and then the rom, but then i noticed i can't install cab files anymore

thanks
[Shift Development] Pantaloonie:
If you cannot install cab files, you have used the original version 1 rom.

Download the version 2 from the original post, and flash it with that.

As for the resolution change, your previous rom must have had realvga installed.

Search for it on the forums, and install it.

I find 96 dpi works best.
[Shift Development] shawankit:
thanks for your quick reply , i was afraid that flashing radio wouldmake this gsm only and i cannot use umts / hsdpa for data as the first page mentioned GSM Only.....however reading separate post here i know inderstand that my dumn assumption is wrong...and after flashing i would still be able to use my umts/hsdpa connection for data.....cheers to you guys ..great mile stone achieved.....
[Shift Development] hykhleif:
how can i know which version of rom i flashed. I used the radio and rom posted on page 5. it says its snapvue rom version 1.30.453.0

Maybe I am doing something wrong, since what i do is i open the window mobile from vista and put the cab file there, then i I return back to windows mobile and that when I see that the cab file does not look like i used to, it contains many files
[Shift Development] cmats:
hey thanks for this great build :-)

Anybody know vhere to find a registry editor for this rom ??
[Shift Development] hah:
for the first time after upgrading,winmo shut down automatically,but it's ok later. the rom is good,so please don't worry about enabling headset.just think of bluetooth,cause bluetooth headset is more practical for such a big phone.

again,great job thaihugo
[Shift Development] sniveri:
it is allready there. using file explorer browse to folder /windows there is registry editor.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
or in /windows/settings to find many debug tools
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Probably the method you use to copy the cab is not good. In any case, you must see the cab file as one on the WM side. You should check if you have any compression program like winrar playing a role here. Otherwise, try to doanload the cab from pocket ie, once connected to vista.
[Shift Development] hykhleif:
after i did install the rom and radio. and finally figured out a stupid cab problem. One problem i have now is I am stuck without office to install. I tried few few times to install a MS Office Cab, once done it can't open any documents, so then i uninstalled it. `So i tried to install it from the original microsoft site but it keep telling I have a newer version of MS Office. How the heck is that and I don't even have MS Office on the WM side

Please MS Office is really important to me, how can i can install it

H --> 3G --> E --> no SERVICE! help!

Hi,thai hugo and cmonex,thanks to the efforts of this rom and radio, I have flashed my shift using this rom and radio, I found my shift couldn't establish 3G/3.5G connections anymore only gprs can surf if i set the band.

Before connection, the signal shows [H]. During connection, it changes to [3G] and but fails to establish the connection. Then it automatically retries. This time the signal changes to [G] (GPRS), and a data connection can be successfully established. However, if I load any page on IE, the [G] connection will be automatically accelerated to [H]...Just at this time, the connection is terminated. And after that, no matter what I do, how many retries, it just can't get reconnected. I need to reset the entire WinMO.

I can't call or being called if i have a 3G connection! If I sellect GSM in network type instead of Auto, then calling is no problem anymore.

But this mean that I lost the high speed internet...3g or H

Did I do something wrong?!

I've lived in an area which is a 3G area, and my phone went crazy. It first shows an H with full strength... then when I try to make a call, it either won't connect or the signal goes completely dead. Other times if I just watch it, it will switch between H, 3G, E, and even G. Sometimes it'll even lose the signal altogether. What is going on?!? I've tried different rom and they all do the same thing.

Interestingly, if I go to phone settings and change my band detection things from Auto to GSM and the data to GSM frequencies, it goes right to GPRS and all phone calls go through fine (but now I don't have 3G/H data)

PS/I tested different SIM cards (also different telecom providers) on my shift, and got the same result. But now I have a problem with it... for your information i at malaysia using celcom 3g.

HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME, I CANNOT LIVE ONLY USING GPRS ALL THE TIME MISS MY 3G AND H SPEED:(:(
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Well it seems your cell provider is not compatible with the radio. To confirm this, download the backup radio from the first post (at the bottomn of the post) and flash it. You'll get a hissing sound after doing this (plug a headset to avoid it), but just try to connect and see if you get 3G. If this is the case, then you cannot have phone for now. If it still doesn't connect, then I suggest you switch 3G provider. Anyway, If I remember correctly, you've got some choice in malaysia:)
