Some feedback

I downloaded beta2 last night and have been having a play.

Initial thoughts:

I like the 6.5 home screen but I hate how none of these new home screens are editable... I know some people love them so maybe it's just me.

Internet Explorer doesn't seem to work at all. The app loads, but typing url's into the address bar does nothing, clicking the Favorites and History buttons on the home page loads File Explorer, bringing up the tool bar and going to favorites that way works but then clicking on a favourite has the same behaviour as typing in a url (ie does nothing).

I really dislike the font size used in all the right soft-key menu's. It's way too large, I spend my whole time scrolling.

Ditto for File Explorer, font size is so large I can only read the first 10-12 characters of any file name... (I'm aware this problem existed prior to 6.5 but it seems even worse now).

Can't enable WLAN via comm-manager (as other people have mentioned)

Device Lock seems unreliable. I tested calling myself and it took about 6 rings before the phone woke up enough to start ringing... when the phone is unlocked it's more like 1 ring. I specifically tested this because I found slide2unlock so unreliable so I guess there's something difficult about this feature.

Ringtone doesn't seem to work after the flash until I go and manually set it to something different. (I've had this happen after flashes before... not sure what causes it)

General usability is good, ROM is responsive etc. Program memory usage seems high? but that said I haven't encountered any problems caused by this.

No problems (so far) with SPBTime and SPBWirelessMonitor

Overall I'm enjoying the ROM however I suspect I'll end up switching back to CRC's 13.3.

Hope this doesn't sound negative, it's actually a very good ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
New version! :D

Changelog:

2004.04.22

- fixed video drivers (now hardware acceleration in tcpmp works properly. Notice: after first soft reset!)

- changed the CommManager to Blackberry one (taken from Josh's ROM :) ).

2004.04.19

- build 21510 (thanks Anryl!)

- camera fixed (thanks Josh!)

- many modifications to the system itself and to the interface configuration.

- lite version!

hm, I didn't checked it on beta2, but I've checked it now - and it works ok. So please retest on beta3.

Yeah, I'm still woking on a whole theme :)

fixed in beta3.

Use s2u2 ;) but I'll be testing this.

As it is in its very eraly stage, there's almost no tweaks yet, so stay tune :) Remember it's a ROM mainly for testing... although it can be used on a daily basis - but it's not optimized YET.

You know... I'm from this old cookers school - I NEED such comments as only after them I can make this baby better :)

Thanks for this list.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kreciolboss:
screens from beta 3 please

and is there native wm 6.5 file explorer like in josh ROM ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
read the changelog :p

btw - use TotalCommander... who uses FileManager??...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kreciolboss:
normally i use resco explorer but it doesn't work on wm 6.5 and i don't like totalcmd
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papik.i:
Total Commander is best of...other explorers bleee:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bassplaya:
wifi doesnt work in the latest release for me

EDIT: soft reseted and wifi works now

Nice rom really fast for 6.5
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nevetsg:
Hi,

I just installed this ROM to check out 6.5 but now have an issue syncing. I usually have to change the advanced networking setting in USBtoPC.exe but that file is missing.

Now I am kinda stuck because I cant sync to flash the ROM again... Can someone please provide the USBtoPC.exe file so I can try copying it into windows\ ??

***Check that. Found the shortcut hiding in the settings tab, I am now able to sync :-D***
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
2004.04.26

- switched to LZX compression - thus 60MB of free storage without RBS hack!

- switched to 21501 build

- 3G video dialer

- Esmertec Java

- CHome Editor

- Favourite People add-on for CHome

- some more free RAM and more stability of the system (still it's far from perfect, but it's really better now).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregorysl:
Just flashed Your newest ROM and there is few things I've noticed

-still after restoring in PIMBackup phone hungs up

-in Remove Programs Free space left is not shown

-Wallpaper says "darkvision 4.0" Maybe it's time to change ;)

-I don't think that quick menu is necessary

-I've installed HTC Tachi TaskManager 2.1.37655.1 but quick menu doesn't appear on Today screen
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dariodisgusto:
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD ROM, very very very fast :)

maybe some program are not necessary

NoData don't work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
true - and mainly if you were restoring messages. I don't know, what to do about it :(

ha... try it :P I'm working on a version in which honeycomb is completely removed - guess you gain around 2MB that way...

I don't really get what you mean?...

What do you mean by that? Are you sure you know what it is?

Another question: do you have ANY GPRS connection defined?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregorysl:
Yeah, about 4k texts ;)

I've tried this on 6.1, but i like more new Hcomb. And 2 mb is not so much

-Old PIE

-no transparency ton top and bottom bar

-old menus

-no connection wizard

This whole bulid looks like old WM6.1 but with titanium and new Start Menu, but it's fast :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dariodisgusto:
What do you mean by that? Are you sure you know what it is?

Another question: do you have ANY GPRS connection defined?

No, i don't know what it is :D but when i open that program i view: "error" "An unexpected error has occurred in NoData.exe".

Sorry if I will not explain but i'm Italian and I know english a very little bit :D

In any case I repeat: Beautiful ROM :D:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
no, no, no! :)

It all depends on the THEME - it HAS to be a theme specially for 6.1 to turn all those options on.

true, there is none... I have to add it.

hehe.... NoData allows to turn some of your GPRS connections on or off - and you just don't have any of them ;) and that is why it crashes - it's unusual situation someone has no gprs defined ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregorysl:
So You need to create proper darkvision theme for WM 6.5, beacuse i wanted to check how "Classic Blue" looks, but I didn't like it, so i back to DV theme :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
that's true - as for now only after flash you have a proper 6.5 theme. The TSK file doesn't work properly yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noccy80:
Doesn't work for me :'(

Flashing with Hermes.DarkVisions.v5.beta4.21501 works fine up till 99% when it drops a "Checksum error, buffer=0x239826D8, input=0xC26C3283" on me. It then states done, 100%, but the device won't get past the "blackness" that follows the boot screen (which looks really hot btw)

I'm using HTCFlash to flash from within Linux. Could this have to do with the bootloader? It's been a while since I tweaked with it, so I have no idea about the specifics of mine - the tricolor screen says "HERM200 IPL-1.04 SPL-2.10.Olipro"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
No, it's definitely not normal. It should be around 40-42mA.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] StefanHou:
Hi utak3r

Do you have some screen shot for Moto and QM?

What about the performance of 23017 /w Manila?

Is 2305x already stable?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] posy:
Hi,

how do you check the power consumption?

regards
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
See an attachement.

It's really fast... and free RAM starts from around 22MB and ends up after a full day somewhere around 18MB.

Of course, do Hibernate or KillEmAll twice a day ;)

Hm, it seems to be quite stable and without problems. It's just some of the apps doesn't look right - you see, the working canvas has been moved few pixels up... But the RAM usage is pretty nice here and no locks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] StefanHou:
Ouch, did some test on the MotoSurf. it really slow to me. The other significant problem is that the 'Programs' panel does not work. I clicked to add some program but it only brought me a blank black screen.

Will download the Manila version tonight and do some test.

I really love Manila, that's why I also consider MotoSurf, but then always reverse to the non-Manila since I hate the non-landscape capability.

I tested the Final version of 23017 last night, but I noted some problems.

The performance is not as good as the V15 23017.

Then also a problem with the soft keys bar that misteriously missing, did some fix, it appears and then missing again.

Now I returned to DV4, again...

Hmm I think 23052 is worth to try...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
ok, so I reinstalled and tried out the Final w. several HRs after installation done nothing else w. settings, and was able receive files. Whether it was a success I don't know since couldn't find the files.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
hm?

Not misteriously :D it's by purpose!

If you don't like this feature, go to Programs->System->RegEdit, go to "Services" tab and turn "nuenobar" service off.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] erfansah:
mirror please :( i've download from 4shared probably 5 time, but all file had been corrupted specially at *.nbh file so, would you upload again in raphid or megaupload maybe. thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] StefanHou:
Oh Ok understood now....:D

So, this is the time to test the Manilla...let's do it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eiben_robert:
I used utak3r manilla quite a lot, I think it is really good in terms on speed and stability. In fact for me it was the best WM6.5 manilla ROM I used (I checked all the major ones)

What ruins is for me is the fact that manilla restarts when I launch opera mobile if there is less than 20 mb free (so basically all the time :). It is not big deal but i just don't like this. It seems all the manilla ROM's have this issue so I'm back to titanium.

Thanks and keep up the good work utak3r!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
but, erm.... it's not an "issue", it's by purpose (again ;) ). Opera itself eats so much RAM that Manila has to be closed for that time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
Hi utak3r,

recently I tested your v5.17.23052.OldTodayversion, very nice, retained all programs and still 20-21MB left.

However, I found after several trials that impossible to see the digits in the window when direct dialing through phone pad. What did I do again wrong?:eek:

Was it necessery to leave out PCM contact, would you be willing to patch with it.

BTW. BT problem solved.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Nothing. It's the problem with a new layout of this build: some apps can't find themselves in this... Note the working canvas is few pixels higher than in older builds - that's the problem... we just have to wait.

However... if you want to use this build, switch to the standard dialer (Accessories->Switch dialer).

Some do want it, some do not.... ouch :rolleyes:

In the meantime just install it for yourself :)

Good :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
Thanks for the advice, but with such installations I loose precious RAM, I'm using your ROM with ThrottleLauncher which is then getting slower.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MystaMagoo:
MMS doesn't work or do we need to install it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
I have no idea (not using it) - but it should work, it's ArcsoftMMS installed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MystaMagoo:
It's not working then :(

It's there but when you click to start a new MMS nothing happens.

Also when you click MMS options nothing happens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] williamhk:
hi Ladislav, do you mean BT A2DP issue? :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
No, just the file transfer part.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
However, I couldn't switch it to 24h clock, is it possible anyhow.:o

If "nuenobar" is on , there is one outstanding line is left onscreen.:eek:

If someone uses it, he should go to Programs->System->RegEdit, go to "Services" tab and turn "nuenobar" service off, by tap and hold on the line and choosing Stop, otherwise the bottom bar buttons disappear.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Just change your locale ;)

Can this work in Dopod 838 pro ? because i read some threads that WM 6.5 can not work in 838 pro

hi Utak3r!! i tried cooking a russian rom with your kitchen but i have issues that don't want to work.

could you please cook a rom with russian language??? thanx in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
Hi utak3r,

currently I'm using the 23017 Final version, because it works with bluetooth headset through Broadcom_Bluetooth_Manager.CAB, while the 23052 does not.

But I found no SRS HD WOW in it, only its config, when I open it, it says no WOW HD driver loaded, means there is a missing program?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] the_shadow23:
mms problem

hi utaker

the mms is not working, i think

when you press new mms or mms options nothing happend

did we have to install it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
that's true - it's not working. Please try to install some Arcsoft MMS. The future versions will have MMS working, I've already fixed that issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] the_shadow23:
thanks for the advise utaker

i installed Arcsoft_MMS_5_0_43_63R1 and for now everythink is ok

by the way very nice rom :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
To all:

while I'm working on DarkVisions v6 since few weeks already, there will be one more release of DV5, based on COM2 line, probably on 21872 build.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
Nice surprise!

Anyways I suspected you were busy working on new releases.

Could you shed more light on Darkvision v.6?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
hmm, the most important thing it's based on WM6.5.x line. The rest... right now it's changing too often to let me say anything about it :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] htcherm200:
why i don't have this down soft keys ??

i restarted my herm and whats happend ? - i lost my down soft keys ! WHY? How to fix it ? :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
It's not a bug, it's a feature!

If you don't want to have more space on the today screen, just switch the nuenobar service off.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] htcherm200:
Thank You So much, for me it is not a feature :) but addition :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Note it dissapears only on today screen, in apps it's as normal :)

Nevertheless, go to regeditor, switch to "Services" tab and set nuenobar service to disabled mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] htcherm200:
Teraz dopiero zauważyłem, Polski user ! :d

Dzięki za pomoc, ten dodatek to nic specjalnego, wolałem jak było po staremu :D jak w moim poprzednim WM :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
Keenly awaiting the new version(s), Laslo.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
I'm running it for two weeks now, and the last whole week without a single reset - after that I had 20MB of free RAM and the only thing which got screwed is the battery icon in HS++ which was telling I was charging - while I wasn't ;)

This is a perfect build (21872).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
User maveron58 fixed the A2DP profile issue:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd]
"Flags"=dword:00010002

Thanks a lot, bro! :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Montea:
I flashed this ROM about a week ago & I'm liking it a lot. I use SPB mobile shell so this was the perfect ROM for me. I have a tone of memory left & haven't had to do any soft resets.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
Come on utak3r, can't take the wait much longer! :) After all these years it's finally come down to the situation that your ROM is the most usable one left for the Hermes. (imho!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] k2wl:
any build using 28002 is coming up????

thanks for this gr8 rom...:)3

bye take care
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Nope.

There's coming 21872 build, as I put it almost to perfection for the last few weeks.

New builds will be in DV6, but that won't happen to soon. You see, those builds ain't stable for now - and I don't like it ;) Maybe in experimental section I'll put something, we'll see.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MystaMagoo:

"unlock" on turning on the phone

Hi,

I recently had to reflash DV5, and it requires me to click Unlock each time the phone is taken out of standby. I know I had this disabled before, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I did to get rid of it!

Any reminders would be appreciated...

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ladislav Molnar:
If you would be willing to read back on this thread you could find the solution written by utak3r. I've read it once because it still bothers me, but the solution wouldn't work for me. After a while the lockscreen just stopped appearing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Rencx:
I use FINAL version of DarkVisions ROM, but i have small problem.

After 1.st restart all down bar with ''calendar'' and ''phone'' is lost.

Is this a bug or it need to be like that?

How you have on your TyTn???

If somone have some free time and can make special ROM for me from DarkVisions Kitchen. Please PM me!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikeage:
that's a feature; look up nuenobar.

Disable via the registry, under services.

Note that the buttons still work; if you can remember what's there, then why waste screen space?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikeage:
Thanks a lot for your help. It was really useful. :rolleyes:

The solution, in case anyone else wants, was that QuickMenu was locking the screen. It can be disabled from the QM options.

First of all thanks a bunch for the wonderful ROM. Its the best 6.5 ROM out there and I love the speed!!! I have recently started facing issues with my activesync thro USB. It lets me sync only when no SD card is inserted. Would you know why this is? This used to work perfectly for me till recently. I tried re-flashing the ROM using the method you described but it didnt work.

EDIT - I solved this issue - looks like some app that I installed didnt get uninstalled properly. Formatting the SD card helped and im back to using this wonderful ROM.

versions

For a noob, what do the versions Manila, MotoSurf, QM, OldToday mean?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] doodle moo:
Thx

this is the fastest rom i have ever used i was on a flashin spree but this rom stopped it i can run loads of apps and still have 25mb of storage i also use today home screen which normally freezes up most roms but this keeps it running. etc..... the list keeps going

thx chester
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noidtluom:
I think Manilla means it has the Manilla2D home screen by default. MotoSurf I've not heard or used before but I think it's this interface (found via google). No idea what QM and OldToday is.

I would also like these questions answered.

Edit: QM seems to be an abbreviation of QuickMenu, but I installed the normal mainstream one and it also had QuickMenu installed, so I'm not too sure.

Well, right now I'm having my annual cooking-break ;) I have to get my batteries loaded again...

I have an almost complete final DV5, which I'm running for few months now without flashing - and it's just excellent.

Just... give me some more time, I have to recover :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MystaMagoo:
Sorry bro,not meaning to be pushy ;)

I still using 23017 that I made myself from your kitchen :)

If I get the latest xip and sys can I just put them into the kitchen?

Not bothered about visuals as I use SPB.

I'm very happy with what I've got but if I can have smoother and quicker then why not :D
