Page 7 ?

I think this is a bug with threaded text messaging which was introduced in WM 6.1.

This always happens to me for my sport score update texts.

You don't have to open and close the messages but you do have to scroll up to them until the "new message(s)" is/are highlighted and then click ok. Should solve the problem.

Landscape Issues

I'm having and issue, at first I was using the newer version with no issues other than the freezing. Now I switched to the earlier, more stable, version and now I can't do anything in landscape mode.... all the text disappears and I have to turn into portrait mode to see everything thats been typed..... this is happening in ALL of my programs.... IE, SPB Finance, YouTube App, Word.... It's driving me insane, please let me know what I can do to figure out whats causing it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AeroSigma:
I have the same problem. I switched to the 20755 build because of the landscape freezing, but I'm now have trouble displaying text in landscape mode. In any entry field I just get some small garbled pixels in the center (entereing a web URL in IE or a contact name in the address book)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] laser8302:
Sorry for this being my first post, but I had the same issue and turning off clear type fixed the problem. It was discussed earlier in this thread.

Need help with using ROM file!!! Please!

Please anyone help!

Can you explain me in details what should you do as soon as you download xCite.1_ROM_5.2.21046_Build_21046.1.6.3_WWE.7z or xCite.1a_ROM_5.2.21046_Build_20755.1.4.0_WWE.7z files?!

I spent almost a day trying to figure it out, but when I was trying to upgrade ROM on my Incite with "Flashing Spookys New ROM" way (by replacing and renaming CT810_V10i_Ship.dz file with the one that I downloaded from here (21046 or 20755)) it is not working :eek: and I'm getting an error message from the LG flasher: "Problem with communication between cell phone and PC"

Anyone please help!!!

What am I doing wrong???!!!

Thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dark9781:
You don't need to use the renaming and replacing method for spocky's rom. All you have to do is unzip the exe file and install as if you were installing the v10i rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stask1:
Very strange because when I'm downloading both files, they have no extensions (exe, rar, zip, etc), thus not able to open them by default with any program. Tried to open them with WinRAR - gives me an eror (unknwon file format or file is damaged). So I'm puzzled!

I downloaded several copies from different websites. File sizes always the same:

73.4 MB (77,062,025 bytes) and 68.6 MB (71,943,310 bytes) respectively.

May be I'm missing anything?

Any help?

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
You need 7Zip, a recent version of WinRar or any software that supports 7z format. Then extract the archive and execute CT810_XCITE_1.EXE.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stask1:
Never mind everyone!

Silly me.:)

I was using an old version of WinRAR ( 3.2 instead of 3.9)

Sorry for misunderstanding everyone!

SMS bug about to drive me crazy!

First, i want to say thanks to Spocky for making these ROMs!! They are at least a million times better than the stock ones, and i really enjoy using them!! :)

Does anyone know a way to fix the bug where you have to tap each and every message to get it to show as read? :confused: I just noticed that it wasn't showing any of my messages read a little while ago, and it's really annoying to me... if anyone has a way to fix this, even if it's experimental, PLEASE let me know!! :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dark9781:
The new version of Spocky's xcite rom (based on the v10x rom) is great. I installed all my programs and still have 74 MB of free storage memory. Program memory is holding steady at 36 MB. The kinetic scrolling works great and I have not had a freeze in landscape as of yet. I think the new drivers might have helped that problem. a2dp still doesn't work, but the rom is overall more stable than the initial release. Thanks spocky for bringing us a great update.

Also I was wondering the same thing about the messages. I tried a whole bunch of registry tweaks (trial and error) and none worked. It is a bit annoying if you're having a conversation and have to click 20 messages to get them registering as read.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GuardianUSMC:
Thanks for the report, I hadn't had a chance to flash yet, probably tonight or tomorrow, which version did you use? Thanks for the update and also thanks as always to Spocky, awesome.

xCite2 Rom

The LG Java Cab works for the xCite2 Rom. Also, the Rom was going strong without freezing but it eventually froze on me. I am not quite sure but it seemed as though freezing in landscape is directly correlated to memory usage. I have not tested this directly but it seems this way by when my phone normally freezes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] looo:
Flashing now. Will tell you how it works out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GuardianUSMC:
Well I flashed last night and since then I have had it freeze 13 times and sometimes without doing anything to it at all, it will freeze. Lots of options are grayed out so you can't change them and I am not sure what's up but this seems far more unstable than the last release, not sure what changed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IchiKafka:
I noticed that prior to putting any of my apps on the phone that it did not freeze at all. I tested it for a couple hours or so and the accelsensor worked perfectly and the phone ran very quickly. Although once I added my apps on the phone and they began to use up resources the phone began to freeze. I also noticed that when my phone was locked that it would not freeze in landscape.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GuardianUSMC:
Yeah but if you can't install and use apps without dooming yourself, then it defeats the purpose. I might have no choice but to revert back to the factory piece of crap default just to avoid this excessive freezing, its unreasonably too disruptive.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrphil101:
was using the 1a build since released. the other release was unbearable with the freezing. I updated to the Xcite 2a 20755 ROM a last night. It works fine so far as for the screen not freezing. Hasn't locked up once.

couple of days b4 that I advance configed the phone and changed a bunch of settings. next day was draining the battery in about 6 hrs. after the new 2a rom the battery is draining in about 8-9 hours. I was going for more than 12 with the stock 10i ROM.

so, updating the ROM removes old registry and replaces it, overwrites it, or just changes settings pertaining to the ROM being installed?

have added garmin xt to storage card and advance config, other than changes personal prefs nothing else added, so memory hasn't changed a whole lot. read earlier that might have been related to freezing, and is that still the reason we still have 2 diff releases?

Thanks again to Spocky & the team!

answer to question about still having 2 releases answered in first post, :o duh!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dark9781:
I used the most current build, but had to flash to the older build because it kept freezing on me. I was hoping that the problem was fixed, but I got about a day before I couldn't do anything without it freezing. The older build is defiantly more stable.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GuardianUSMC:
Well I am glad that I am not the only one, unfortunately as much as I hate to do it, I have no choice but to reflash the old v10i stock ROM. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
What makes you guys flash back to stock v10i against stable xCite2a. Is it tha lack of a2dp, buggy alarms or anything else ?

FYI apart from removing att apps and fixing 3 registry keys (cleartype on landscape, proxy manager, and bad glyphcache value), I didn't change anything else. So, if there are news bugs or battery issue, it's only related to v10x changes (approximately 10 registry mods, 10 provxml mods, drivers update, radio update).

I should build a beta test wm6.5 rom in the next few days (1st, a closed beta and then public release), but I'm pretty sure freezing issue will still be here, so if any of you have an idea on how to fix this bug, you can experiment on 21046 build right now (that's also why I released this version). Unfortunately I can't do much more without a phone to debug it live. If any of you has IDA skills, don't hesitate to experiment. You may also try to modify/remove things related to graphics (disable cleartype completely, play with various parameters of advanced configuration tool...) or gsensor to fix it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rkrishnan2012:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mjpoetic:
Thanks to spocky12 for the rom! My biggest issue with the Incite was the cleartype in landscape. How did you fix that anyway? Also, what's the best way to make a cab of some of the old software (PS Note, MobileZip, etc.) that you might want to keep???

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] a.picchetti:
just my 2 cents

Spocky... I haven't had anymore freezing incidents on the 2a rom than I did on any stock rom... the 1a build was a different story and it was locking up constantly, but I remember an occasional freeze on the the 10h and 10i stock roms and I didn't have the stock 10x build on for long before I put your 2a (custom 10x) rom on my phone... the phone seems to behave as expected... it is windows of course, so it is going to have its freezing issues, but I think it is the incumbent OS and not anything in your rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrphil101:
how does the ROM update effect the registry? update, overwrite, replace? Are settings I made prior to rom update staying in registry?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrphil101:
I don't think I agree with the it is windows & going to freeze statement. once I got 10i then on spockys ROM 1a, I didn't have any freezing issues. Not once that I can remember. Now the other build was horrible for freezing.

I was curious also as to why folks were going back to the 10 h\i versions.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
The rom update replaces anything on your device (as if you formatted your pc and reinstalled windows).

As for windows and constant freezes, here are the facts :

- everything works good on any old wm6.1 build (19xxx + custom 20755)

- every newer build I tried had freezes even without changing anything else on the rom.

- ks20 has the same kind of issues (not graphic freezes, but phone driver reloaded when resuming from standby, which dismisses 50% of the incoming call that wake the device up + a strange "backup battery running very low" popup) with any build >20755.

- lg only made 2 windows mobile devices so far : Ks20 and Incite. Ks20 was only released with WM6.0 and Incite with WM6.1 with build <20000.

I think microsoft modified some important things in gwes/shell32 in builds >20xxx that make old drivers behaviour inconsistent and of course LG engineers never faced them as they are using old builds (or maybe that's the reason why they're using such builds).

The problem is far less important on htc devices as :

1- htc engineers are much more experienced on windows mobile

2- they release new roms constantly, based on recent builds, so it's not too problematic for chefs to work on recent builds.

Anyway, I think it may take time for us to fix these issues (if we ever fix them) and I might be pessimistic but I don't expect wm6.5 to fix things (in our case, that's not wm that has to be fixed, but driver that has to be adapted, and without source code or new devices to get updated driver, that's quite difficult)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] a.picchetti:
my second 2 cents

you know that makes a lot of sense... this is only my second winmo device, I had a blackjack before this and never had a problem with it until one day it bricked itself and I decided to go with the incite instead. So I don't know anything about htc products and wasn't think of the driver situation... I bet that is the issue, the lack of maturity in the lg/windows drivers.

Thanks Spocky... still having a great experience with the new 2a rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mjpoetic:
Yeah I tried changing the value of "HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation" to "0" with the original Incite rom but the disappearing text was always an issue. I guess that should have been my question, how'd the disappearing text get fixed?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jeremy477:
can someone post a working link to the latest build of the xcite2 rom 20755. i have tried this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?zm4hlzzjayy and i click download and it gives me an error saying the file is not available.

never mind i got it to work. i guess it was my browser that was not working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rkrishnan2012:
happens 2 me too. u got to try again la8r. it works for me after a while
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GuardianUSMC:
For me its the fact that constant freezing is costing me loss of data, its screwing up the registry by corrupting it when settings are being written to it, options disappear and become grayed out because the system crashed and now the settings won't hold. In addition some changes I make are not saved, they are ignored, I like to set my own phone to whatever I want, and if I can't change a setting, its no use to me. I also make heavy use of my phone and to have it freeze up or be unpredictable while talking on the phone, using an app, writing a note or changing something, that's a productivity suicide for me and makes my phone a buggy novel toy and not useful to me anymore if I can't trust it to function. Plus the reset on the side doesn't always fix it which means I have to take the whole damn skin/cover off to access the back and pull the battery and its just getting too much, not to mention the back cover wasn't designed to be taken off every 20-50 minutes.

I agree with you, that statement is simply ignorant. The fact is that I had an HP iPAQ 6515 for 4 years and it never froze on me, never crashed, and was by far the best piece of WinMo equipment I have ever owned. Then I had a MotoQ9h (I had to relearn a bit since this one is NOT touchscreen) but it was perfect, never froze, never crashed and we hacked the **** out of this phone and it never once threw a fit. We even cooked and upgraded its ROM to a beta release by MS that Moto and AT&T weren't going to release and it still works going on 3 years now and now I have the Incite and I have to say I am not happy with it much, too much crashing (granted most of it with the cooked ROM) and the instability of any mods we make for it, just makes it a crappy template to work with. So far I have had this phone 3 months and it has crashed on me at least once a day (every 30min-60min with the cooked ROM), to me that makes it a piece of crap and disappointed that the LG people are not doing more to fix it. I am being patient with it cause I hope that awesome people like Spocky can make this better and build a better ROM than the useless LG devs but its wearing my patience thin since this phone is really not living up to any of the past phones and that's just plain sad and disruptive to my life.

It happens and its not much do with your browser, they use a selection of low bandwidth nodes for the free service and they reach bandwidth bottleneck sometimes, so its a bit hit and miss, when this happens, I usually wait and hit it again later during off peak time and it works like a charm. With them patience is the key, they certainly are not the rock stars of download services, especially when there is a huge demand put on a specific link.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@GuardianUSMC : So you're saying that xCite2a (based on 20755 build) has constant freezing ? I thought it was only related to 21046, and that 20755 was stable (well, as stable as stock rom, I mean).

Does anybody else have this kind of issue with 20755 ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PhoneTamer:
Does anyone have any sort of idea when a 6.5 beta ROM is coming out or anything? I just flashed it on my brother's gf's Kaiser, and i really am impressed by it. I'll even alpha test if the chances of bricking my phone aren't too tremendously high (i'd rather not brick it, but if i do, it's fine) so i'm always here to help, and i would be glad to :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dustinmcd:
GuardianUSMC

You don't have to take the battery out; just hold down the end key for 5 seconds or so and either press the jog dial or click the screen where the "Yes" button would be. The "freeze" that is happening is the display no longer refreshing, not the device locking/not responding. I know you've already flashed to an LG rom, but this may help others who are having a freeze here and there and are pleased with the benefits of Spocky's rom and want to use the newer build.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IchiKafka:
I have used both builds and the 20755 build is stable as for the 21046 build it does freeze up when the accelsensor is on but I have not had it freeze even once while it has been on. I personally prefer using the 21046 build because of the kinetic scrolling and simply leave the accelerometer off.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GuardianUSMC:
The 20755 was fairly stable, it only froze on me a couple of times but for reasons stated by others, I prefer the 21046 which is what's killing me with constant freezes.

Yeah I am aware of that but as I stated, sometimes the standard resets don't work, not the hole on the left, not the hold end button and wait for the shutdown and say yes, those still cause data loss if you have something pending that you can't update/shutdown properly. But the freezing reaches points where the battery pull is the only thing that fixes it. Trust me, not an idiot here, I know what to do and if doable, its been done ;)

I am going to reflash again with the 21046 because right now its f-ed beyond fix since NO SETTING of any kind is holding or taking anymore and just about 80% of the settings are grayed out, so whatever got pooched its done already. So I am going to reflash it and try disabling the accelerometer and see if it keeps doing it or not. Will report back. In the meantime, can you guys post comprehensive accelerometer settings (other than the option to turn it off) so I don't miss anything, if its just the option and nothing else, then I know where it is and what to do, thanks.

Selectable Wireless Plugin

For those using the stock v10x rom or spocky's xcite 2 rom you may have noticed that the wireless plugin on the today screen in no longer selectable and can't be moved. There is also a problem for some unknown reason the wireless plugin and the LGdatetime plugin switch places (usually when you use sprite backup). I have solved both these issues. Attached is a link to a cab I made.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rpmbnsf:
I know this has been mentioned in several posts but nothing I have seen compiling a bunch of peoples opinions into one post..So here goes:

Out of the 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs what do you see as being the fastest ROM - fastest as in responsiveness to screen taps, scrolling, animations etc.. And also fast as in how well will it play movies (I know this is a very subjective one as results will vary with how the movie has been encoded).

My results have been:

Fastest - Michy's 6.5 Clean Edition; It seems to scroll very well, load opera fast and when i load up SPB 3 on it the animations to screen swipes are smother that any other ROM. Issues are batt life seems to be a lot less than other 6.1 ROM's. I also notice the Bluetooth seems to not cut out as much with this ROM so that's a plus.

Downside is there are a few bugs still in this ROM (I know Mitchy is and has worked hard to iron them out..and many thanks to him for that!!)

Movies seem to play (for me) better with this ROM as well. the same movie will have less lag and sound sync issues with this ROM..almost like there is a better driver in this ROM for graphics? Also I did not add any codec bundles or anything...just as the ROM came and added CorePlayer..

I still find myself using the Mitchy's Clean 6.1 ROM just due to almost no bugs and longer batt life...almost as fast if you keep as much RAM free as you can with it but still not as fast as his 6.5 ROM I currently have about 62 MB with everything installed that i like to run on it.

Please post your take on what you find is faster for you and your setup.

My setup:

Mitchy 6.1 Clean ROM

Programs Added:

SPB 3

SoftMaker office 2008 - loaded on mem card

Memaid

Calendar Touch

Resco Radio

WMWifiRouter

C-ApiSRO (XM and Sirius player)

Core Player

Google maps

Opera

MSVC

WinMobileTorrent

Numpty (great game!)

After Soft reset:

free Storage - 95.64

free Program - 61.25

for the 6.5 ROM the RAM was about 14MB less with all the same loaded..would love to get all this onto a very clean 6.5 ROM and see how much better the performance can be!

Just wish I had the know-how to cook ROM's!

Please post your results too
