If you want, you can just disable the today plugin, and you get a full working wm for when you want to be serious. And you just soft reset when you are just using it as an updated snapvue.

To disale fully pointui:

delete the shortcut in \windows\startup (start2) and disable the today plugin.

To reenable, recheck the today plugin.

Hissing, loud pitch noise after installing Light and/or Full ROMs

Thaihugo thanks for your work. I admire you for your work and for the time you put into this.

This is my first post I think although I check and look into the threads on a daily basis.

I installed both roms, the light version and the full version. For both cases, I got a hissing, loud pitching noise after making or receiving a call. The phone software would work but no voice was heard at the Shift. After ending the call, the hissing noise started and it would only stop with a soft reset via VISTA. In some ocassions, after making or receiving a call, WM would freeze and thus a soft reset was needed.

I also tried to SMS but it didn't work. I was able to receive SMS but not to send a new SMS or to reply an SMS. When trying to do so, the SMS would just go to the OUTBOX bin and stay there for a few minutes. After a while, an error message would come on.

Your roms are great.

Please let me know if you have any comments about the noise that I'm reporting or the SMS issue. I've read about this hissing noise issue at other threads but I thought your latest roms dealt with this problem already.

Thanks
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Install this:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DMWZBMQ6

This will solve the hissing. You forgot to install the radio.

For the SMS, make sure you have entered the SMS service number in the phone parameters for your provider. Look on your provider website for this info.

If too many people experience problem to find their SMS number or their connection setup, I might put back the automatic setup, but I still think the 3 megs of storage are too expensive for a one time setup.
[Shift Development] leonlsl:
i can't download the both roms, if possible, please upload to the site http://www.filesavr.com. thanks
[Shift Development] TheoMobile:
Thaihugo Thanks!!!!

It works great, it was not easy but the hardspl works and a shifts bios update and finally got my shift stable and up to date with your latest rom and phone.

The first impression is that Tom tom works but as known a shortage of memory to use the maps but the program works. I tested more gps programs and they work.

The gpsblue was a little difficult got it not to work. So I took the gps gate again and that worked perfect and quick, good signal on vista side. The gps test program is handy, on the other hand there are enough other programs to test, so if you want to free memory.

Form spb the traveller and phone suite are working perfect

Other programs will work but needs improved screen as known

The task manager and the cleantemp are very handy

I cannot wait for your develloping of memory and vga

What a good job thanks again

Question: where can I check the phone version????
[Shift Development] scocios:
Great rom!!

Thanks for the help. I got it moving along. I got both my work email and the internet connection up and running. I'm still not able to send SMS. It's odd because I do receive SMS and phone calls. I can also make phone calls too.

Anyway, your rom is great. I decided to go for the age of beauty. With your rom I was able to install all the stuff that I never did because of RAM constraints. I now have in my HTC shift (besides the obvious - Office, etc.):

- PDF viewer - PocketXpdf

- Personal Accounting - Cash Organizer

- Real VGA with 128 dpp

- Opera brower

- Pictures, Images viewer - XnView Pocket. This one helps me al ot because frequently I get scanned documments via email and I wasn't able to open them up because the Windows Image viewer is just too basic

- Phatnotes - Note taking software

- Resco Address Book - This program might be redundant so I will probably take it off.

I packed all of the above into WM using your rom and I still have about 10 MB free for storing more stuff!!!!

In my opinion, the Shift is now one step closer to perfection. SD and Bluetooth activation are still the challenge.

Great work! I'll donate soon.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
you can even use upx to save more space. just copy your biggest exe or dll to vista side, upx them, and copy them back. It doesn't work for all, but most of them can save space.

as for sms, go to your phone settings, then the last tab. there must be your provider sms phone number there.
[Shift Development] samstables:
Love this ROM but I can't get the Network browser to work - I followed your instructions and established that I called Vista side HTCShift and sharing is allowed, but it just says it can't connect. Do I need to set up which "network adapter" to use? If so, which one do i use? :)
[Shift Development] gmarg:
I am using age of reason (excellent work) but have a small problem. I choose manually the network and the band in SIM settings in order to make phone calls, SMS and have data connections. The only problem is that it doesn't connect any more in 3G, only in GPRS. Is there a setting like in previous ROMs in "settings" (on the lower right of the screen - can't find them enywhere) to force it use 3G or HSPDA?
[Shift Development] putrawanz:
The problem is same with mine.. only gsm band can get the line.. if i put auto no service will be appear.. maybe have a problem with the radio..
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Are you connected using connection center? make sure you have selected a partnership or a guest mode connection.
[Shift Development] samstables:
Yes, it connects with Vista fine as it sync'd all my contacts and diary entries and continues to connect and sync...

The Network Plugin says "Map Drive Failed" if I try to set it up under \\htcshift\users or \\htcshift\c$ and if I try to browse it says "No computer was found on the network"

:(
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Browse won't work anyway. I think sharing might be locked by your firewall. also, in control pannel, network and sharing center, check if you have file sharing enabled, and password protected sharing set to on

repost Age of Reason

Hi:

Interesting news with this rom, could some please post the ROM to age of reason, in a different server, is really hard to get the same from the actual file share, thanks in advance. And great job.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Mirror for light rom here:

http://www.filesavr.com/light_1
[Shift Development] ListZ:
WM still won't connect to Vista side!?

First thing's first:

Thaihugo, THANK YOU man, your last ROM "Age of Reason" is just GREAT, thanks a lot again!!!

I highly admire your work and the afford you've put to accomplish such a fast and useful ROM. It runs so smoothly, so there is nothing to complain about!

Second:

Unfortunately, even though I followed exactly step by step your guide here in the post #2 about connecting to Vista side, I couldn't get any success. My WM Network Plug-in also says "Map Drive Failed", no matter if in Vista's Network and Sharing Center the File Sharing is enabled, and the Password Protected Sharing is set to on.

I can see some other people here already experienced the same problem as me when trying to connect to Vista side, so I really beg the Shift gurus in this forum like you to find a workaround!

Thank you, ListZ. :)
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
This is more of a vista configuration problem. But you can definitly connect if you set up properly.
[Shift Development] ListZ:
I admit, connecting to Vista side could really be a Vista problem!

Thaihugo,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I agree with you, because as long as we all have your ROM installed, which must be all the same in each and every WM side, so it really seams to me that the problem with connecting to Vista side must be somewhere in our different Vista's settings.

Now I'll try to dig even more in Vista to find out what I can set better in order to permit the WM side to connect to Vista.

Will share my hopefully successful experience later!

Thank you, ListZ. :)
[Shift Development] TheoMobile:
I have had the same problem but now it is really stable after a shift bios update to the latest.

Just let you know it helped me.
[Shift Development] Scrtcwlvl:
I just would like to say, thank you for a fantastical rom. This combines everything I find useful and nessecary within a shift rom along with a wonderful interface that is exceedingly finger friendly.

Top notch Thaihugo, top notch indeed. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to produce a wonderful rom.
[Shift Development] leonlsl:
thanks very much.
[Shift Development] samstables:
Ah, the old firewall problem. I'll have a go tonight and let you know if I can break through it!

feedback

hi thaihugo

i m testing your age of reason rom for one week. honstely i think this is the best we can expect for now (i.e without sd slot mounted wit win ce)

the storage capacity is the best i have never seen on snapvue. with upx i instaled textmaker hpc+ozvga, doc to go javabed, ebuddy , opera mini , tcpmp with qtv.cab, mappy navigation, omnia D3D drivers... i stil have 22 meg of storage!!!

after some registery tweak every thing work like charm :)

no problem so far.

for connection setings , i use as usual french setting cab to use wap as the main connection

finaly my only interset for sd card is ...maybe gps.. and swaping memory on it to have better performance

thank you
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
if you use garmin xt, you can have small region maps in 6-10 megs. enough to use it with current setup... that's how i'm doing it

mic don't work((

hello guys! thanks for the best ROM (i'm using age of reasons). new features realy open new age of posibiblity. only one problem destroying my mind :), headset microphone don't work at all! what i have done: i erased original russian ROM by HardSPL, after that i flashed radio (i tried two versions from thaihugo post), made reset and flash Light ROM. What i did wrong? Thank anyway, you are the best)

ps: excuse me for my english)
[Shift Development] denchikus:

[Shift Development] lucid:
I've accidentally received a call whilst in a crowded cafe with semi-boozed up people.

Took the call, and despite loud background laughter I was able to hear and be heared !! Excellent piece of work, that shift... (if ya add XDA-magic)

After hanging up... everyone wanted to look at the Shift (many joe farmers like me) and have it themselves, to use as Navigation and PC device in one, and also be able to call with it.

Mind you, they knew nothing of the Shift Conspiracy, where a year long delayed device with covert GPS and covert GSM was finally released as a crippled version of what could have been. Maybe HTC used it to Spy on Microsoft as they gave Ballmer one... ha..

Still, the wide open eyes and gasping of about 20 people staring in disbelief when you actually take a call with a "PDA on steroids" as they called it, remains priceless.
[Shift Development] denchikus:
"PDA on steroids"... hah hah))) funy)
[Shift Development] robs96:
Hardware constraints

I know I'm a noob on this stuff, but it appears that the lack of Bluetooth/WiFI is related to the possibility that the device is actually two seperate devices in the same case. My wonder is if someone has taken the device apart physically to see if this is true. . . . . I've personally heard that the prototype devices running around MS about a year and a half ago had all this working with Windows Mobile. . . . . . but some hardware may have been stripped from the latter devices. Anyone got the knowledge and guts to strip there device down and see how the engine is setup under the hood? Maybe we just need to connect a wire between two boards to get it working!
[Shift Development] vulcan_gr:
2 boards, thats true...

there is a disassembly guide... look for it
[Shift Development] robs96:
unfortunately for most search isn't the easiest thing to use on this site. besides the point of disassembly is the overall results of the disassembly which is the location and connectivity of the various components (i.e. bluetooth chip).

Since I was met with such warm regards I'll crawl back into the shadows!!! The kind words of the people on these forums reminds me why I moved over to an iPhone last summer!

[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Happy chappy

I have just tried out these roms.

Initially the lack of automatic 3G setup was a bit of a shock, and I wished for instructions in the first posts to state which settings to note down before flashing these roms. Anyway after a bit of jiggy pokery I soon had internet working fine.

And I am loving the amount of free memory.

As always, the stability and compatibility of your roms are first rate.

Many thanks for your work.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Empty games

Can anybody tell me how to delete the empty games folder from the programs view?

Edit:

I discovered how to. Obviously I am new to windows mobile.

I fired up File Explorer and deleted the Games folder under /Windows/Start Menu.

Made me chuckle when I saw that Microsoft had organised non-start menu items in a start menu folder.
[Shift Development] mactablet:
I have to agree

I have to agree with you. There's an awful lot of tweakers on these forums who couldn't be bothered helping anyone with anything and seem to be bothered enough to post a narky comment but not bothered enough to assist with a simple question.

These Rom's pretty much suck. I haven't even used my Shift for a couple of months becuase of all the issues. (I'm getting into my firesuit right now :)).

Fact is the unit promised so much but without wifi and easy bluetooth it's a half useful machine IMHO.

Activesync is at best 50% reliable and when not on high power is flakey. The battery life on vista is awful and without wifi on the winmo side you're good for an hour and a hlf computing basically.

The Shift project is as good as gone for so many reasons, and a ROM which delivers is not on the horizon. I'm off ot a Viliv S5 which can provide 200 hours standby and a good 10 hours of computing, GPS and more.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
blah blah blah. you're so predictable it's not even funny... go out and find a girlfriend, it will help releave a lot of presure from you. Just make sure it's not a troll too.
[Shift Development] mactablet:
Ummm, there you go, kinda sums it up.

So instead can we try to have some open dialogue? Can you deny that the battery life is awful? Can you deny that the Shift project has not delivered on some things like Wifi, SD card access, trouble free bluetooth (I know all about the shift project problems and I'm not blaming anyone, just pointing out that we don't have an official Project ROM yet).

Some of these things are important to people, not just me. If we had wifi, SD, BT etc on the winmo side we'd have a machine capable of 90% of road warrior tasks with the ability to switch over to Vista when needed - with 100's of hours of battery life.

The Advantage was that good after a year or so due to the awesome Athena Project. The shift could take it to the next level, but hasn't yet.
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
If you have something against the shift, why do you come in this thread exactly?

If you have something against the Shift project, why again do you come in my thread?

If you are *****ing about some people who doesn't get answer in the forum, do you realise nobody is paid to answer questions, and the few people who have done something here have a busy life too.

Whatever you want to say about the shift project, do this outside of my rom thread. They are stupid people that believe i'm part of the shift project group, or that I got any dollar from the 2500$ donation thread, and you are not doing anything to help that fact.

Yes the shift has fault, yes the villiv is a nice device, yes it has two hours battery life but again, WHY DONT YOU START YOUR OWN THREADS ABOUT IT.

The last sentence can be reused to feed your trolliness. I used alls caps for your leisure.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
As far as I am concered the Shift only 'promised' Snapvue and I purchased it not even knowing whether it would definitely liberate.

So these ROMs are a huge bonus to me, and I am grateful for the wizardry of the people involved.

People often want things that they don't have, so it doesn't suprise me that as soon the phone is available, interest is generally lost in that and people want the next thing. When they get it they will be wanting the next thing. It's human nature.

But these are pretty good times, so I would have thought if someone really needed a high memory WM plaform, why not just get one of the many excellent mobile phones available?

The Shift is very versitile in my opion, and that is why I prefer it to anything else available, even now long after it has been discontinued.

The ROMs available here make the Shift even more useful.
[Shift Development] Bradaland:
I agree with Flanimal,

Now that I have liberated and have phone capabilities, when is the holographic projection snapvue coming??? :)
[Shift Development] FOOFTR:
I also agree - the ROM's are great so don't get worked up Thai Hugo...post #65 suggests that the forums aren't helpful...I totally disagree. Additionally the poster wants to engage on the flaws of the shift with the very people who are trying to optimise it. Why not appreciate the work done to date rather than ***** about the device not meeting your expectations - it's almost like you blame the contributors here for that?

mactablet - if the Shift isn't for you, move on...
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
We had this topic thousands of times. Not only about the shift. so *yawn*

You are of course entitled to your opinion. And of course you can bash the shift for its limitations. But those limitations are designed by the manufacturer and you should know them before you buy it.

Thats why we have reviews and communities.

However, you cannot bash the developers here for their excellent roms and dedication for a device that seems dead or not right or crappy, or whatever you think it is.

We are all very grateful for every small enhancement and any new idea.

For that matter, we should hope for those clever people to find new

ways to unlock new features in a otherwise limited device, but we should NOT expect it.

my 1 cent...(not worth 10 cents)

CDMA?

My Shift is a Sprint CDMA version.. HOw do I get this rom onto it..?
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
I'm afraid you cannot. Maybe CDMA expert can prove me wrong here.
[Shift Development] RamTheMan:
Nothing is useless

There is saying: Nothing is useless, it can still be seen as a bad example. And so I see the mactablet posting!

Since Thaihugo posted these ROMs (I'm using Shift age of reason) my HTC is back in use! I navigate off-road with maps that need some MB RAM. This is a well done work making this pourly designed device a good one to use.

So again, Kudos to those who spend effort and time to make this happen!
[Shift Development] unapproachable2kx:
Yesterday I try to install a couple of games,but none are running on this Rom (runs very well on HTC Touch),

didn't you included Direct3d support?
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Unfortunatly, most of the game requires a video driver that the shift doesn't have. The one dealing with the screen doesn't have the fullscreen instructions needed by most games. I found some opengl games to work properly, but you won't be able to run most of the games correctly. Maybe we could start a list of running games though.
[Shift Development] unapproachable2kx:
That sucks,not only we dont have a good amount of memory space but no 3d drivers,

nothing can be ported from Touch HD?

I know there is a project over there with some others msm72xx chips trying to run Ati 3d drivers..

I will pm you authors contact if interested
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
I'm following it, but the video driver is also probably the one dealing with the switch between WM and vista, so we need some more intense hacking here.
[Shift Development] SixFive7:
ActiveSync

Hi there,

I feel awefull asking these questions but after trying all night long, I'm afraid I see no other options.

Here is my problem:

When I reset snapvue it starts with network sharing and network plugin working. Activesync does not work.

Then I start the usbtool. It gives me: "Please plug in cable firest !" So I click on menu -> USB_cable_in after which nthing happens.

When I do the same when my data connection is offline the USB_cable_in gives me the activesync arrows in the top WiMo bar. But on the Vista side nothing is happening. No activesync. Just a network card in de device manager.

Just now it worked once, and I setup a Windows Mobile Device Center partnership. But after a reboot it doesnt.

Vista is SP2, WMDC is 6.1, and windows update has updated the Mobile Remote Adapter drivers. Reinstalled it all to many times.

What am I missing?

How can WiMo give me two arrows, and Vista say nothing?

Why does the usbtool always say "plugin cable firest!"?

In short: Al suggestions are welkom. Sorry to ask this, feel like a noob.

Seperate from that -> AWESOME ROM!!!!!

Keep up the good work :):):)

Thank you already,

Jori Huisman
