[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
diagnostics / trouble shooting

hi Ivan, i'm having some problems with Just Stable V2 -- but these could easily be due to changes I have made since my flashing. So I'd like your help in the "level 1" troubleshooting. I'll describe the troubles I am having, then describe things I've done that could, perhaps, have interfered with the proper functioning of the ROM:

(1) When I switch from Portrait to Landscape, it redraws fine. But once it is in landscape, it gets stuck. It does not go back to portrait, and everything freezes up. Even sliding out the keyboard doesn't move the display back to the portrait mode. All I can do is soft-reset.

But I have done this over and over again, and the problem is completely consistent.

(2) Now, I know that one of the primary gauges you use to illustrate how fast these ROMS are the speed at which they flip to horizontal, and back to portrait. And for sure, after I first flashed, it performed exactly as advertised - blazing fast.

(3) I want to see what effect the following could have.

a. I have made registry changes for system font, menu bar font and popup font. These all perform really well, and don't seem to impact anything else.

b. I did add some fonts to the Windows folder, and also to the Windows > Fonts folder ... Some of these had come from my PC's font folder... It's possible that it was after THIS step that I started to get "memory critically low" when I had maybe 3 apps open, such as Total Commander, Pictures and Video, and Skyfire browser. So I wondered if these maybe 15 additional fonts could have added considerably to the device memory. (For example, I added Arial, but each variation was its own font file: regular, italic, bold, bold italic, arial black; and, another example was Myriad, and Segoe, Segoe condensed.

**** Could you please list, or do screenshot of the Windows folder, font files to list exactly what is there with your ROM installation?

I tried to delete some of these files, but was unable to do so since they were in the Windows folder. But I did do that trick of renaming the extension to be .bak -- and for those that accepted this renaming, I was then able to delete these font.bak files, to try to reclaim memory space. And I have not had that error message anymore, where I am asked to close down an app in order for another to run.

c. I also loaded up quite a lot of cabs, whenever possible installed to SD card, which is 8gigs. Here is what is currently showing up as a folder in my device Programs Directory, despite my selection to install on SD card:

Connections

GoogleMaps (I don't remember why this is here, since I think you

cooked it into your ROM.... Is this the case -- that any app cooked

into the ROM will not show up in Programs directory on the device?)

Oxios > memory > CloseApps.exe, Hibernate.exe

PCMKeyboard

S2U2

S2V

SIPchange

Start Menu > Certificates > dummy.txt (***** Is this something that

comes with your ROM, or did some app I installed create that? I didn't)

Windows Media Player > Default(Landscape).skn , Default(portrait).skn (*** Is this

something the ROM installed? I did not add this)

d. I also, in order to use the HTC Home music tab with Audio Manager, installed an audiomanager today plugin.. but this has always been realllllly slow to bring up the music player when I am on Music tab within HTC Home. I know that initially Windows Media Player would still launch, until I used "Advanced Configuration Tool" and was able to select which media player should be default for the music today plugin. I selected AudioManger instead of the default selection Windows Media Player.

(***** eventually i unistalled the AudioManager plugin because it just doesn't seem to run well at all, takes several minutes, and clicking the audio manager app in WKtask icon on taskbar, and i cannot figure out what sequence of stuiff to eventually get it to play, but this became intolerable. SO now I have unchecked Music within the list of HTC Home plugins... and I just use my PocketPlayer app)

e. I had set up WKtask preference to perform the horizontal-vertical rotation of the screen when I do a vertical gesture on the OK button at right-top of screen. That had worked fine, until some point that I cannot figure out might have corrupted that smooth operation.

=====================

f. QUESTION: Can you please tell me how I can recognize if the javabed and OperaMini versions that come with your ROM are the ones running on my device now? On JustStable v2 first release, you recall that Opera Mini was broken... so in those few days i had installed a cab file that loaded a different instance of that app... Then you released this V2 build 4, and I have just presumed that when this ROM was installed, it is linking up your javabed and Opera Mini... QUESTION: Under Start menu > Programs .... in all prior versions, you had a folder named "Apps" -- and inside that was the esmeretic javabed that calls opera mini. .... in Build 4, what I see now is no "Apps" folder, but instead a folder named "JAVA" all in caps, and inside it are two things: esmeretic java, and OperaMini .... In all prior versions OperaMini was not located here. This is why I am asking these questions. I am trying to see if there is any unintentional linking of your new build's javabed with that other version of OperaMini I had installed onot my storage card?

===========

This is everything I can think of at moment... I have screen shots I will post later that show the font size chnages I made (I did not attempt to alter the Notifications screen or registry at all, since I have adjusted to it being as is, which looks great.)

any help in troubleshooting WHAT KINDS OF THINGS could create interferences in ROMS basic performance? all would be appreciated, thanks!
