v2.7 and MSVC

Hi,

I have one or two questions :)

I did flash 2.7 version without MSVC.

I tried to install MSVC cab but I did not successed with neither version.

1.6.19971.CAB

1.6.19965.CAB

1.6.17913.CAB

Did some one install it on 2.7 ROM aftwards?

Is it possible that I make backup with e.g. SPB backup then flash 2.7_MSVC

version and than restore data? I this possible to work?

Just a big Thanks

Hey guys ( & girls),

this is my first post as I usually search and read through all your posts ( and usually find an answer) if I have a problem ;)

However, I follow especially the Blackstone threads and just wanted to thank everyone who donates their spare time and patiently answers (often repeated) questions.

Dutty: wife comes before cooking ( but your fans need you too :D ) Glad your daughter is alright.

Mods: Respect

Seniors: Thanks for your effort

Juniors: Thanks for your effort as well

This is the best rom ever! no problems at all. Now finally the first day in the callendar tab is monday:) I've upgraded from 2.4 and I'm so happy with it. I've never done hard spl so only things I've done was downgrading duttys 2.4 to stock 1.14 then upgrade to stock 1.56 and at last uspl to 2.8.

Thank You Dutty!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Where did you get MSVC cab from?

If you use Spite or SPB and backup all PIM data and software. There shouldn't be a problem restoring this on V2.7 + MSVC
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClownShoes:
When you say it didn't work, is that because you got an error at the end? That is normal with Touch HD and is due to the fact the software tries to map a hardware button that doesn't exist! Go to settings/ personal and you should find that voice command is now an option and will need switching on. You can also go to button mapping from the same personal menu and set MSVC to a long press of the green button.

Let me know if you're still having probs, but worse case scenario, yes it should work to back up with Sprite and then do a level 1 restore over the 2.7 with MSVC.

Just a warning though; MSVC has been causing the no ringtone bug for some time now with newer rom builds! It can be prevented by de activating incoming call alerts in the MSVC settings.

Hi All.

I tried Dutties 2.8 rom but am having alot of problems with my phone i.e cant make calls as phone / radio is not on and wont switch on. Random reboots freezing etc.

To get it to work i simply used the USPL 2.5 to activate the boot loader then ran Dutties wrapper from the 2.8 download and the rom was upgraded. This is all from a stock version of the phone bought about a month ago from orange.

Because of the problems i am having i would like to go back to the default Rom or the newest version of the default rom. Can i simply upload it to my sd card then run bootloader and it should re flash as its an official rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Good first post. Glad you were able to follow procedures and everything worked out well.

Welcome to XDA
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you had stock rom already on device you would need to use USPL and flash a HTC 1.56 rom first before using USPL to flash to Duttys V2.8

I've searched the thread and can't find a definitive answer that works.

Is there a way to get background for all tabs working, while keeping the new style start menu which I kinda like?

I'm on Dutty's Extreme 2.8 rom. I tried the fix suggest in another thread whereby I deactivated TouchFlo, installed Showaco All_Programsv4.1_3ICON.cab and mUn bg4allTabs_stockLike_v1.cab but New Style Start Menu still will not open.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClownShoes:
Yes there is. Use Maxycy's customiser software

I haven't tried installing these .cabs, but when you mean get background working do you mean wallpaper? Are these .cabs a theme or wallpaper installation?

Just need some clarification from yourself

EDIT

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Not that I have seen or heard.

I don't know about SPB backup but with Sprite backup you can. If you read several pages back there is something about creating the backup image, flashing and then restoring the image with merge level 1. Don't know if that helps you though.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rajnus:
Yes exactly that. At the end of the installation I do get a message about some kind of error. But now I have problems reaching all settings...

How can I get to remove programs? :-/

@Fallen Spartan http://www.ipmart-forum.com
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClownShoes:
What kind of problems getting to the settings?

Was there not an option under settings/ all settings/ personal/ voice command?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you go to the TouchFlo Settings tab and click on All Settings does it not work? If not, do a soft-reset and try it again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] enigma27:
ok so if i load the USPL again and flash the HTC 1.56 rom then once done re do the USPL and reflash dutties 2.8 i should be ok?

also there are two different version of dutties 2.8 rom. is the only difference the voice command software?

i tried flashing with the rom which include MRVC?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you currently have a stock HTC rom and the stock SPL loaded to your phone, then yes, just install the HTC 1.56 rom and then Dutty's 2.8 (using USPL of course where needed). Just follow my guide from whatever point you are currently at.

Yes, the only difference between the two versions of 2.8 is the Microsoft Voice Command (MSVC).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Right. I just meant if he could not get into All Settings ;) Soft-reset usually fixed that before.

Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] enigma27:
Thank you sir.

Only problem is i currently have a broke version of Duttie 2.8 on the phone as i did not install the 1.56 rom first.

Is this going to cause problems?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
No. As long as you can get your phone into bootloader you can recover from this. Put it into bootloader right now. What is your SPL version?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClownShoes:
Have you installed any Touch flo customisations? That kind of manilla freezing is a typical side effect.

I would suggest either uninstalling any tweaks you have or worse case scenario, backing up your PIM and hard resetting.

There is no good reason for Manilla freezing in a non tweaked and stable rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rajnus:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you are having that many issues with TouchFlo freezing and not being able to get into settings and such, I would personally hard reset. I don't know of any other way to uninstall applications. You could try through ActiveSync if you have it setup I suppose.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rajnus:
No touch flo custimization. Hard reset is hard work afterwards :(

I did not made any backup before installing MSVC
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Apologies mate, didn't realise you were directing me to MSVC cab

Thanks for that bro

@ cRaCKwHoRe - Thought you were off to work ya lazy sod!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Understood but sometimes we have no other options :P Did you ever hard reset after initial flashing? You just have some strange issues...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rajnus:
I have it but how can I uninstall it over AC? This happend after f...kin MSVC.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Just because I am at work doesn't mean I'm actually DOING any!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClownShoes:
If you're getting freezes everytime you go into settings right now, your issue is not with MSVC mate. The installation error you were getting is normal. Besides to uninstall it, you would still need to get into settings.

You never did say; have you installed any manilla tweaks?

Edit; sorry missed you saying no tweaks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Bad luck bro

If you're going to Hard reset anyway, why not put phone in bootloader and flash V2.7 or V2.8 with MSVC

If you have phone sync'd with Outlook you should have at least all your emails & contacts

EDIT

Would try everything else though before Hard Reset.

I see Clownshoes is helping ya out.

Hi,

I've just gotten a 8285, not 8282, and love it. Will this ROM work on my device? Telstra's version is much different from others (I think). Any guidance would be appreciated.

If I flash to Dutty's latest ROM should I also upgrade the radio? Will Radio upgrade work on my device.

It has been so long since I've done this kind of stuff I have no clue.

I would have tried search function, but my questions don't even seem close to anything covered here and I don't have the time (finals at school).

Thanks to anyone that can get me pointed in the right direction!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Are you using Windows XP or Windows Vista?

If it is Windows XP just go through the menu options at the top in ActiveSync. One of them will be to Add/Remove Programs. I haven't used Windows XP in quite a while so I forget exactly the navigation to that option.

If you are using Windows Vista, bring up Windows Mobile Device Center, hover over Programs and Services and click more>>, then click Add/Remove programs.

Either way it should bring up a list of installed applications on your phone and allow you to remove them... unless there is something terribly wrong.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClownShoes:
To install the latest 1.56 roms, you need to install a 1.56 stock rom which comes with the latest radio already :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Very good. If I was you I would run step (2) in my guide and then just skip to step (5) since your SPL is already correct and continue on. Be very sure you focus on step (7) as well :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kuwait:
After reeding so many instructions how to flash Dutty 2.8 looks like the following should work well in all possible cases:

1)Start USPL

2)Upload SPL 1.54 only

3)Start USPL

4)Upload Dutty 2.8

As I know the USPL also can upload SPLs. Have some body tried above consequence and what could go wrong in it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Indeed... but I work for the government so what did you expect?!?!?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClownShoes:
Rajnus mate, can you give us a slightly more detailed breakdown of what's happening to your phone right now, ie the freezing and other problems.

Let's try and troubleshoot this before hard resetting.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes :)

No.

Yes but the latest is included.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jacquiegardner:
OK. If I install 1.56 ROM, which everyone points to the Dummy Guide (perfect for me!). What is the difference between the 1.56 ROM and Dutty's ROM? After 1.56 ROM is installed, do I install Dutty's?

Thanks for the help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rajnus:
TXN bro... too late I did hard reset :)

First thing to install is Sprite backup :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
I don't think anyone has just SPL 1.54 available yet like we do with the older ones. This is why we are all loading the entire HTC 1.56 rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Dutty's rom is a cooked rom and does not include the SPL or radio. The HTC 1.56 rom is an original upgrade rom from HTC and includes the SPL upgrade to 1.54 and the latest radio 1.13.25.24.

Yes yes yes YES! Make sure you are using USPL as well where indicated in my guide.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Dohhhh too bad ;) but this should fix things lol!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rajnus:
Already did. I did had no nerves :)

Phone was OK untill few minutes ago when I did install MSVC.

After first installation I did get that error message. I have uninstall it and try first version of thos three cabs that I mentioned. That was unsuccessful in first second. Then I decide to try latest version. Again same error after installation but them I could not get in to the all settings to deinstall it.

The rest you know...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rajnus:
Yes it did. Txn for suggestions ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jacquiegardner:
OK, if I got it right: Upgrade to 1.56 to get latest radio and USPL (not sure what this is, but seems important) then upgrade to Dutty's.

Seems simple enough.

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Since you are hard resetting might as well load Dutty's rom with MSVC already included now ;)

For push internet to works properly it need s the new opera , but the new opera works with the new gsensor from topaz rom and it soesnt auto rotate so need to add excectpion in flip it, also when in landscape mode the keyboard deosnt pop up.

the new opera also runs all the time and even when close still run in the background. it also every soft reset opera will try to launch so thats why i disable it, but i tdoes work as a bit but not fully functional

We are 2 hours further now, and activesync is working great, I am connected constantly and emails are arriving as the should do. However :( ..... about one hour ago the 'freezing' started again. Not all the times (not clear when it is 'activated'), but most of the times when I get my HD out of his sleep (by pressing the power button), it hangs for about 15seconds. If I am being called, I cannot accept the call for about 15 seconds (so it goes into voicemail) ... So it looks like I am back at the problem of V2.3 ... Which is clearly started by setting the internet on 'always on'. But I need that to have push email on .... Dutty, is this something what you could solve ? That would be really much appreciated .... :)
