which dialer is included?

hi sumit,

can you please tell me which dialer is included with this ROM???cos i dint like the dialer you have used in the lastest releases of you ROM...no offence but its just a personal choice dear....anyways im downloading this new build...:)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@ALL: Ok, i will upload my version too. :) You guys are amazing, i sometimes dont understand what kind of ROMs you people really like :D

@HTC3400: Buddy, the dialer i am using in all my new roms is just a modification of the original wm 6.1 and 6.5 dialer. Only the bitmaps for buttons and the dialer background has been replaced and its not truely a skin. Even if you disable dialer skin, you will get this dialer. In my view the dialer looks lot better than the original dialer while consuming same amount of RAM.

If you need something else, you are free to install it as there is no skin in the rom that can conflict with yours. I dont like to spend 2-3 MBs of RAM on something i use 4-5 times in the whole day. All the dialers available are memory hogs and including one of them in the ROM causes people to not be able to install any other. Many like S2U2's dialing screen for example, but the Elfin dialer conflicts with it.

So keeping these things in mind, i have provided a mid-way. By deafult my dialer will look better than the default and keeps the user free to install his/her own. I hope you understand my point.

@ALL: IMPORTANT: Since the XIP of this ROM has some modifications, i have inserted initvmmap.exe in the xips of both new and old gene by method told by Ankit. All this time, my roms have been missing this file and some registry settings which disables the new memory management system introduced in WM 6.1 and 6.5. Now from this ROM onwards, it will be enabled. New Gene is working fine with this new arrangement but i depend on you guys to test the old gene version. PLease at least one person test this rom on old gene and give me feedback. I will only upload any further versions after that.

"Didn't work for Old gene "

@Krazy

Flashed my old gene, However even after successful flashing the phone was stuck in the initial WM 6.5 boot screen, Tried soft and hard reset, but nothing worked, eventually flashed back to Vanilamanila...:)

@Avi087.mutya

Try and get into the bootloader mode on your phone and reconnect usb, if usb(text) shows up on the bottom of bootloader screen on your phone then you should be able to run rom update utility and flash another rom, that's what I did..:)
[P3400 ROM Development] avi087.mutya:
hey danny how did u flash back?
[P3400 ROM Development] avi087.mutya:
how to get it to bootloader mode?
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
While pressing the camera button, do a soft reset..:)
[P3400 ROM Development] NoteGarner2020:
hi

Power off your device..

Power on your device with holding camera key upto you see tricolor screen.
[P3400 ROM Development] avi087.mutya:
my device is not even turning off.
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
Press the camera button and insert the stylus into the reset socket besides the usb socket on ur phone, It should work that way..!!!
[P3400 ROM Development] avi087.mutya:
great it worked thanks..
[P3400 ROM Development] NoteGarner2020:
Hi

With power off button ??

Try removing battery simple...:)
[P3400 ROM Development] avi087.mutya:
hey danny u tried version 4 or 3?
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
All the earlier builds from Sumit are working fine, apart from this recent V4 21812 build...!!!
[P3400 ROM Development] avi087.mutya:
does this work for ht8xxx? even version 3 gave the same prob now
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Allright guys, hold your horses. I will make a new build for old gene. I already told that i have done some changes in the XIP, and i didn't had an old gene to test it. Wait for a while.
[P3400 ROM Development] salim1001:
thanks Krazy

I thought i am missing out something when i flashed your Rom but after coming back here i noticed i am not alone!!

Thanks for checking on this for us....!!
[P3400 ROM Development] techmate:
@Krazy: I am also facing the issue with this build for OLD GENE. The device hangs gets stuck at booting up stage.
[P3400 ROM Development] jyot:
bro am nt able to run POINTUI HOME 2 on this rom

can u help me making it run
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Guys, i have sent an PM to Da_G to help me port the xip with initvmmap.exe for old gene. I am waiting for his response. So old gene users will have to wait for a while but i assure you if i get this thing working, it will be worth it. i am removing the download link for now so that nobody accidently downloads the rom.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ok guys, after much fiddiling with the Old Gene XIP i have found something. I reported the XIP using the original WM 6 old gene xip provided some posts ago by our friend BesFen (lots of thanks to him) and then inserted the initvmmap.exe and its registry settings along with boot_ms.rgu. I think this is gonna work coz i took xips of about 10 different phones which come with WM 6.1. All of these have the same addresses for 3 files : device.exe, filesys.exe and initvmmap.exe. The former two, i knew about before, but since initvmmap.exe also seems to fall in this fixed address category having addresses 0x10000000 and 0x13000000 across all devices, i think it will work.

I am reuploading the fixed ROM for old gene. I am 99% sure that this will work and if it really works, I will have a 100% WM 6.1 and 6.5 compatible XIP for Old gene too. So no more problems of this kind in future. :)

UPDATE:

Fixed version for Old Gene now online!

Please test and report about it immediately guys. DA_G has already released 21815 for VGA. So QVGA should be coming soon, i have already ported the XIP for it :D. So don't be late in testing this one :D
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
@Krazy

Flashed the fixed version of build 21812 for old gene, But the same problem persists, phone was stuck in WM 6.5 boot screen after successful flash, Tried both hard and soft reset, but to no avail...:)
[P3400 ROM Development] roopart:
I have extract your file on desktop, but it is not opening. Is there any other site from where I can download 6.5 rom for 3400i
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Do NOT post the entire thread!
[P3400 ROM Development] mehra:
working fine

version 4 working fine buddy. keep it up. will report of any issue comes across.

bye

:):):)
[P3400 ROM Development] salim1001:
Hi Krazy

Looks like the same thing again. Just flashed the ROM without any hassels however stuck at windows 6.5 screen.

Sorry about it and thanks again!
[P3400 ROM Development] Siddharth Thevaril:
Some large icons in the start menu look blurr in 6.5 ROM v4.

v3 is better!!!
[P3400 ROM Development] rakesh_4utoo:
after updating my gene with V4 ,it stuck at welcomehead screen, configuration Beep coming and after that just a gray screen nothing more.

SUmit i think some changes in XIP is responsible for this.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
OK, Old gene users, i think i am wrong with my theory and the address of initvmmap.exe is still overlapping somewhere in the XIP. I guess for now you guys will have to live with the old xip. I will post a fixed version with xip made using older way tonight. :o
[P3400 ROM Development] BesFen:
Hi Krazy,

Maybe the address of initvmmap.exe is not compatible with old GENE, I flash my old gene 12 time last night and today but no success, although i use your address but still unsuccess, I try to search reference of initvmmap.exe for OLD GENE but can't find it. :confused::confused::confused:

How about the performance of New gene with initvmmap.exe compare with New Gene without initvmmap.exe?? does it better?

Thank you.
[P3400 ROM Development] funguru:
please dnt forget to add this(attachment) its nice you know!!! Thanx.. I flashed even i knw it will struck on welcome..suicide mission
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ya, i think so BesFen. The file seems to have the addresses like filesys.exe and device.exe, its fixed. For new gene its 0x10000000 and 0x13000000 for e32 and o32 respectively and i was hoping that same would work for Old gene too but it seems it doesnt work like this. Maybe the address is fixed but i think for old gene its different. For now i think it will be better to keep this file outside the xip although i dont know whether it will serve any purpose outside the xip. initvmmap.exe initialises the virtual memory slot structure and after that regular dlls load. But if it is itself made a regular dll, i dont think WM 6.1 style virtual memory mapping would be possible. The system probably reverts to the older style of vm mapping.

About the performance, there is not much percievable difference between memory consumption although it seems a bit better. But one thing i noticed, even when at a time when i had only 6 MB of ram free (i was stress testing the rom :D) opera 9.5 loaded without closing any of the running 20 programs :eek: So my be this says something. And i think battery life is a bit better, i used phone for calling for 2.5 hours, played songs for 2 hours, played Virtual Pool mobile (good 3D game, uses d3dm_ti3d.dll and tid3deng.dll for graphics rendering (its the texus instrument direct 3d graphics driver for Omap 850) ) for about 1.5 hours but i still had 40% battery :)

I guess old gene users are not that lucky. I have asked da_g but he has not responded, guess he is busy with other things :(
[P3400 ROM Development] rakesh_4utoo:
@besfen:-

pls share your Manila 2D WM 6.5 21812 ROM.

@:Sumit

waiting for a fixed version of V4.0.:)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ok Guys, Uploading another fixed version. This time i request everybody to hold back, and just one person to come forward as volunteer and post here that he/she is gonna test it on his/her old gene. After testing when that person gives a thumbs up feedback, then only other people will download. I guess you people are wasting too much time and bandwidth on this.

Another note, although build 21815 is aready out i am having serious problems with it. So i guess we will need to be with 21812 untill ankit or besfen or some other friend of ours post a good working sys. The sys provided on PPCGeeks is giving stange problems with QVGA, and some problems with VGA too :o

[P3400 ROM Development] zinzar:
Ok

I will Do IT

For Sumit ( the man that he work for Old Gene this much time for others :) )
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thanks zinzar :) Its all for the good of community man, long live XDA! :) Its due to this community that i am still enjoying my 10 month old phone like a new toy, otherwise, with nokia phones, there was nothing to do after 10 days :D Lol!

Old Gene users are equally important for me. I will keep on working on inserting initvmmap.exe into the old gene xip to provide full benefit of the new WM 6.1 and 6.5 Memory management to users of it. I am not like HTC who makes the phone and leave the users alone with it. Seriously guys, if not for this community, htc would have been dead long time ago.
[P3400 ROM Development] zinzar:
Report

1- flashing Ok

2- ROM stuck ( waiting 20 minuets )

Sorry !!
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hmm.. this is getting serious man, this one is the original old gene xip given by Besfen, i dunno whats going wrong. Well, i'll report the xip using 21728 xip as base, i think thats the only solution. Thanks for testing buddy. Will upload the fixed one tomorrow.
[P3400 ROM Development] BesFen:
That xip ported dirrectly from wm 6 original for old gene, also I already upload this original ROM in my thread.

Before I found it, I use your pro user WM 6.1 xip as my base xip :D

Xipportex work well with that xip as base too. If you still have a problem with old gene, I will upload my working 21812's xip but without initvmmap.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thanks Besfen. But i couldn't get this buddy. This time i ported the XIP using the XIP provided by you, the WM 6 Original XIP for old gene, but still its not working, its kind of amazing. Lets give it one more try otherwise i will remove initvmmap.exe from old gene altogether.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
@krazy: Is there any power drain issue with this ROM. Not sure because I tried it for around a day. But seemed like it. I charged my cell full in the night and in the morning it was 70%. It could be a problem with calibration / battery also. Just a thought, do let me know your observation.

Thanks.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No, i dont think so. In fact my battery is running even better, i haven't charged since last 2.5 days still i have 25% battery.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Okie! Will give it another shot, lets see...

Don't have the money to buy a new battery :D
[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
Can confirm that there's no power drain. In fact, battery backup is better in this ROM. Thanks sumit for another superb ROM!
[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
Oops! Sorry, double post... :(
[P3400 ROM Development] ams1576:
hey dude can u tell me where 2 find HTCVolume Control?

am sorry if i am asking at the wrong place

but i would love to c this feature added in ur future roms
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Sorry buddy, No power drain. Actually I haven't calibrated my battery for a long time. After calibration, its giving good backup. The speed also very good, specially after using omapclockplus :).

Great job, as all ways.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Old Gene Users: Hard luck guys. I think i would need to give you the XIPs ported in the old way, coz nobody is responding to my queries.

21815 is working well on New Gene, so i will skip 21812 for old gene now. Will post 21815 for both soon.
[P3400 ROM Development] BesFen:
Yes 21815 is working well, I use 21812 Xip.

I still can't find how to include initvmmap in old gene xip.:(

Do you have 21815 xip?
[P3400 ROM Development] charge1313:
Is it just me or does v4 seem less stable than v3? I get less free ram (Starting at around 22 Mb, ~15 Mb on usage and ~13 Mb after a day) and programs in the background seem more likely to close. Especially Ram intensive ones like Opera 9.7 and google maps....

I used SPB backup to port all my apps/data/settings from the v3 build that I was using earlier... Could that have been a problem?
[P3400 ROM Development] pavanbaw:
actually i m facing one problem in this ROm

the game bubble breaker is not starting ....its showing an error "SHCreteMenuBar Failed" and then "Cannot open Bubble breaker resource file"?

Do u guys facing same problem...? any solution?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Besfen: I have posted the 21815 xip in the Ankit's Windows Phone Development thread, but its for new gene.

@charge1313: Ya, actually as features are being tweaked by Microsoft and OEMs, the memory performance of ROMs keep changing. This 218xx series seems to be more of a memory eater.But this is the series on which latest developments are happening.

@pavanbaw: I am not having this issue at all, bubble breaker is running fine. This is strange :confused:

@All: So far i have noticed two subtle changes in the new 21815 build, First the Themes API is changed and we needed new theme files at the time of cooking. Its being said that in future more parts of the OS will be skinnable and my guess as well as ankit's too is on Start Menu and Lockscreen. These are significant parts of the UI and start menu is the most important in my opinion. The least amount of control that we have on, is the start menu right now.

Secondly, The Treeview control is made finger friendly. This control now shows bigger + signs in items that are easier to tap using fingers. This is a good change and i was coincidentally thinking about it last week.

I am providing MS Voice Command in the new ROM instead of Cyberon Voice Commander. Although the later is 1 MB more in size, it provides good features, i mean it seems more practicle for me. Give it a try, if nobody likes it, I'll remove in the next version.

Keep an eye on this thread, 21815 is coming very soon.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
WM 6.5 Pro Users ROM version 4 Build 21815 Online Now....

I haven't changed the version this time, since the previous ROM was incomplete old gene rom being missing.

Notable Changes :

1. Finger Friendly Tree View Control : To see it, start any apps that uses a Tree View like the Advance Configuration Tool.

2. Microsoft Voice Commands: This may run on first startup, go to Start>Settings>Personal>Voice Commands and disable it to save some ram if you are not going to use it for long.

3. Pagepool again changed to 4 MB. Anybody having difficulty can change it to 5 MB with the Page Pool Changer utility i have talked about many times.

Now Old Gene users , this time i have ported the xip with xip from 21728 as base so there should be no problem, but i have dont a little experiment, so i would again recommend 1 user to volunteer and try the rom first and post comments. I just cant bear it that old gene is having non 6.1 xip, thats why i am trying on it so hard. So i request support and patience from you guys :)
[P3400 ROM Development] nisalatp:
Sumit,

I just loaded this into my old gene. It is not booting up. It is stucked at Colourfull Windows Mobile StartUp screan for minutes now. I flashed it again and the results were no different.

Need your advice immediately...

I have tested this rom over Old Gene, It failed.

Sucessfully flashed using RUU.

But device wont boot up. It hangs at the startupscreen for some minutes and then Displays an error message.

ERROR

Device Start up failed due to sudden loss of power. Please Click "YES to Continue.

Note:

DO not remove battery before device has benn completely shutdown (OFF).

I select YES, it restarts, hangs for some minutes, and come back to same screen. Then Said "NO" Restrat, Imediately comes back to the same screen.

Please Resolve at your earliest.
[P3400 ROM Development] charge1313:
Tested on New Gene - works like a charm. Much better than the previous V4 build.

New tree control is a godsend - I use the folders list in Pocket Outlook 20+times a day!

It takes even more RAM though. But all menus and scrolling seems much much better.

Looks like the build I'll be using for some time to come....

Great work Sumit!

Edit: Didn't change page pool and file system cash is set to 0(Auto) only

I ported over apps and settings using SPB Backup as usual... but there seems to be a problem: The Theme this ROM came with seems to be missing now.

@Sumit: Can you post it seperately?

Thanks!
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Are you sure you have downloaded the correct version? What is your SPL version? if its olip, then you should download the old gene version. if it is oref, then the new gene version.

Hope it helps.

My SPL is 1.10.Olip. And I am using the correct version.

I am flashing this from years now with various roms, Never had a problem. Cant be a problem at my end.

@Krazy: Not working for OLD GENE:confused:. The last 2 builds 21812 & 21815 have failed on the OLD GENE. I know you are owning NEW GENE and may not have the device to test it.... The earlier ROMs cooked by your worked like charm on OLD GENE. Not sure how come these 2 new builds are have issues:confused::confused:?. The device simply does not boot up. It gets stuck at startup screen.
[P3400 ROM Development] rakesh_4utoo:
Same Problem :confused::confused:
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
You guys dont read, this is clear to me now. I have already said in that post that i am experimenting right now with old gene and just one person should download and post the results. But it seems you people have a fair bit of bandwidth for wating :o

Ok, so this is clear now that old gene is not working with WM 6.1 style xip. So now i am gonna port the xip in previous way. Sorry guys, but there is nothing much i can do untill Da_G gives answer to my query which i dont think he will. :( You guys will have to remain with non standard xip.

Sumit I always use my Office Internet and believe it or not my speed in office is 16 MBPS ADSL:). it takes around 2-3 minutes to download a 50 MB rom file(depends on the file sharing server also).

That is why i tried it. Anyway cook with the OLD style xip atleast provide your 6.5 rom built 21815 Thanks in advance

@krazy:

Was wondering if you can do the next build without honeycomb? (anyway, I disable it :D).
[P3400 ROM Development] nisalatp:
Oh Sumit,

Sorry if we upset you, We never meant to do.

Well, if theres no solution, we will be happy with non standerd XIP. Anyway, custom roms are not standerd, nomatter how they are great, as they say. (No offence to anybody, just kidding)

Including me, I think all want a new wm6.5 rom. with or without XIP afterall. So we would be morethan thankfull if you can give us a working rom AS FAST AS YOU CAN. What you cook is so great even without some spices. So drop the XIP mombo jumbo. We wont be mad at.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Check out the new build guys, this one should work fine.

@Addicted: Sorry i dont get you buddy, how can i remove honeycomb?

But this time, the error message is gone. It Just hangs.

@ Sumit; Maybe its something else, Not that XIP?

In the mean time, Can you give me a like to a working 6.5 edition of yours? Pleazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz????

Thanks for your time and effort.
