thanks for the kind words fellas.

@ moesfeld : Customisable rss and twitter by categorys is a great idea, I will look in to getting it done in the near future.

I am in the dark about "freedom from barriers" , do you have any links from where I can read more regarding this ?

Hi sajio,

You have really done a great job with the site, i actually am now quite addicted to your site to catch on the software which i miss on XDA. So keep up the good work and i hope with all the frequent updates and personal attention, you have made it full of valuable resources. What i think is keep your site fresh alway like you do now, and you would not need anything additional.

Regards

Sharif Ansari

Well it pretty much depends on what cms you use. Many have the "accessability for disabled" already inbuild.

I found the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

Also I found the Web Accessibility Toolbar that lets you check if you meet the guidelines.

Please no now scold me I searched around and I couldn't find it even called t-mobile and tried to contact HTC. So basically when I tether my g1 with pda net I watch my temperature from a baseline of 83F jump all the way to almost 110F. Does anyone know what would be a bad battery temperature. Or abreast point me in the right direction to find this info. Thanx
[G1 General] aggtrfrad:
the battery is charging because of the usb connection (obviously) plus you are probably using the 3g radio at full range and there should be some cpu usage for the tethering app so there you go ...

don't worry though nobody has fried any phone to date, from high temperature.

You should be ok.
[G1 General] tubaking182:
i tether all the time. i never check my temp, but i have noticed it gets very hot. i would say if you are worried about it then don't tether. tethering uses the wifi+radio(internet)+charging+tethering app+all background stuff, the temp is gonna rise just like the temp of your laptop rises as you use it more and run more things at a time. the phone doesn't really have a great cooloing system
[G1 General] SolemnWishing:
Haha I have a silicone case on my phone, when tethering the case can just slide right off because it has expanded so much from the heat.
[G1 General] crxtasi:
This is true and thats why I take out the battery cover when ever im just in my hotel room :D but its normal to get that hot while tethering.
[G1 General] pistol4413:
Thanx

Thanks guys for all the responses. I kinda figured that the temp rose because of the wifi, the screen not timing out, as well as the usb charging the fone. But none the less I jus wanted to make sure. Thanx again all!
[G1 General] jashsu:
You might want to try tethering using bluetooth instead of wifi. bt uses significantly less power and thus generates less heat.

Seriously, I've seen it be slow, mysteriously not work until after a soft reset, suck down all sorts of battery..... but this...... this is new.

Trust me, this picture is not doctored. And my desk is not moving at 117mph. And I live over 210 miles from where these coordinates are. You just gotta see the picture. It's been like this for 30 minutes so far, and right now I'm actually moving at 142mph. My desk would actually be CLEAN if it were moving that fast you'd think! ahem!

What GPS program are you running?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
QuickGPS, same thing a lot of people use for sanity checking their GPS. GPSToday refused to get a fix, so I fired it up to let it run and I discovered the GPS was reporting that nonsense.

BTW, a soft reset fixed it interestingly..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mautana:
GPS not supposed to work inside...?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MACkjam:
Sometimes it does. Also, if you get a fix outside and go inside, it contnues workng.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
The Kaiser's GPS is crap, but generally if it's "warmed up" it will work fine inside. My house is all wood, so it is fine in that regard.

I've used GPSes for several years and had the Tilt almost a year, this was not a new experiment I was doing. :) At least, not intentionally!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MACkjam:
Mine isn't crap at all. It's better than most and certainly better than my wife's Xperia. The Tilt is somewhat different to the TyTN II and also depends on what rom you have etc etc etc. In fact the rom plays a huge difference in the gps and other apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
Nope, it's complete and utter crap. If you don't think so, you haven't used a decent GPS ;-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ADB100:
This has happened to me on two occasions in the past - seemingly completely at random. Stopping & starting the GPS didn't solve the problem on either occasion (actually just stopping TomTom and then restarting it a couple of minutes later). The only solution was to soft-reset it.

I think I was relatively near to the location the GPS thought I was, I also seem to remember it was only showing one satellite as sending valid data and it was this data that was erroneous (obviously the Kaiser was at fault). However a soft-reset solved the problem and I haven't seen this behaviour for about 4-months.

One soft reset every four months would be a blessing.... Other issues on the phone mean it gets a soft reset at least once a week anyway :rolleyes:

WM 6.0 ROM/Radios give better GPS performance

What does your GPS do that my WM 6.0 ROM equipped TyTN II cant? Cold satellite locks in about 30 seconds, hot satellite locks nearly instataneously? You don't get that with your TyTN II? Ah but then you have a WM 6.1 ROM:eek: - say no more. Is it any coincidence that MACkjam also has a WM 6.0 ROM? The hardware is capable enough, as long as the right ROM is used and in this regard newer is not better.:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MACkjam:
Touche mon ami!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cerberus_tm:
Has this been confirmed? It does not really coincide with my experiences.

The history of my TyTn II:

- stock 6.0

- radio 1.65.14.06

- GPS worked fine

- stock 6.1 flashed

- GPS worked fine for a long time

- GPS started getting weaker and weaker, gradually over time

- PDA Corner Ultimate V21 ROM flashed

- radio 1.71.09.01 flashed

- GPS keeps getting weaker, nothing seems to help

Currently, it MAY connect on the highway after 5+ minutes, or it may not. Or even later. Never sooner. Once I have a lock, it is steady, though. Walking around town will never give me any lock anymore, not even after 30 minutes. Not even in the park, which is not very small. I have tried clear skies. Using TomTom, Google Maps, or GPS Test all at once or seperately makes no difference. My GPS is practically useless by now.

Is there anything that could be done to fix this? I should be much interested.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
GPS Glitch report + ideas

What would you accept as confirmation? Is a long thread here at xda-dev about *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 Update? sufficient for you? Is the fact that while you had WM 6.0 on your Tilt, your GPS was fine (the whole time) good enough? I've had my TyTN II since 1 October 2007 and the GPS performance has not deteriorated under the signature ROM to any noticeable degree (although when it had WM6.1 on it, the difference was very noticeable).

Are you sure about that radio at that stage? 1.65.xx.xx series radios are meant for WM 6.1

What, nothing at all?

Not sure if it's related but one of the causes of deterioration over time with regard to battery reliability, is that the contacts get dirty. If the battery isn't transferring all its power to the GPS circuitry of the phone (GPS is very power hungry) then this would explain poor GPS performance. If you have some contact cleaner or Iso Propyl Alcohol and Q Tips, use them to give the battery terminals and spring contacts a careful but thorough clean (making sure not to bend the spring terminals). You'll also need to be careful not to get the cleaner anywhere other than on the cotton bud and connectors as there are moisture sensor stickers on the phone which could be triggered if they get wet. You could also try cleaning the 4 corner gold connectors and plate on the back of the battery. This connection (along with the antenna sticker) seems to have some effect on RF signals.

FWIW I've had occasional glitches as originally referred to in this thread. I've put it down to radio interference as in each case I was in an area where I imagine there were strong amounts of residual/stray? RF in combination with tall surrounding buildings. My GPS also said I was travelling at about 120 mph at the time. Powering off then straight on again didn't fix it and I actually couldn't get it to work properly again until I got home and after I synched with my PC (maybe something to do with a QuickGPS update).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nerdtaco:
I flashed to hard SPL 3.56 from 3.29 and now I get a GPS fix consistently in under a minute.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cerberus_tm:
WM 6.0 works!

Kiwi, thank you very much for your elaborate reply!

Yes, thank you for that thread, it comes pretty close to confirmation.

In fact, it was my brother's phone then, and he said he never had any trouble with his GPS under 6.1, so that I did not expect the critical change to have happened at the switch from 6.0 to 6.1. I rather thought it was some hardware gradually deteriorating.

That counts towards confirmation.

I apologize, my brother flashed to 6.1: I hadn't thought of his flashing the radio as well, which seems obvious in hindsight. I don't know what radio he had at the time.

According to your advice I tried the stock 6.0 ROM including radio 1.27.12.11, and it worked! Thank you very much! I remember searching for GPS fix threads a while ago, but somehow I never found these useful threads. With this ROM+radio my GPS always connected within 1-2 minutes from the window sill, excellent.

But then it gets interesting. I flashed PDA Corner Ultimate X2 V5 (WM 6.5) while keeping the old radio. GPS still worked like sunshine! So I guess in my case it is this old radio that does the trick. I got no sound, of course, so I changed to 1.71.09.11 as recommended by the ROM's chef. Then GPS worked as badly as before, though perhaps a trifle better (not sure). In any case it was not workable.

I think I should try some other old radios as well, to see whether one of those is compatible with both WM 6.5 (or 6.1) and my GPS.

About your advice of cleaning the battery's contacts: good to know, but I suspect that this is not my problem at the moment. Because 1.) I often get seven green bars in GPS Test and still 15+ minutes before a fix, and 2.) my GPS worked like a charm with the old 1.27... radio.

Now I think I must switch back to 6.0 again. I hope I will not be put off too much by the disdvantages, I have never used 6.0 before. I don't care about the menus, I never use them anyway (rather SPB Mobile Shell and Ultimate Launcher). What other disadvantages are there to 6.0? Can you recommend a good custom 6.0 ROM + radio?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cerberus_tm:
I had tried the flash to 3.56, too, but I didn't notice any difference, alas.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cerberus_tm:
I just tried the NIKI radio 1.58.11.07: it works very well! My GPS gets a cold fix as fast as with 1.27.12.11, usually under 1 minute. Unfortunately, no sound either (using WM 6.5).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
The menu is almost identical as far as HTC official ROMs go. There are just a couple of extras in WM 6.1 and it's faster, especially on screen redraws associated with keyboard sliding.

Whenever a 'can you recommend a...' post comes up, often the mods dissaprove because one persons good ROM is often rubbish to another. They normally suggest a 'try them and see' approach.

I am currently testing this ROM 6IEQMTIT.

Error 1 - Task Manager cannot be opened. either is not signed.....

Error 2 - HTCAlbum cannot be opened...
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Yes, you are correct ... there appear to be a few links (on "Applications" panel) to apps that are not installed: cleanRAM, HTC Album, HTC Audio Manager & YouTube (plus the link to PIM Backup has a bad path in it).

The Task Manager link in the root of the Start Menu has a bad path but the one in "Start Menu\Tools" is working correctly.

I will repost the mxip_WWE_CHome_Programs.provxml tomorrow (to fix the path for PIM Backup ... and maybe replace other broken links with apps that are installed).

As for the missing apps ... you could install them via cabs or (in the kitchen) add their oem package folders to the 6IEQMTIT build folder and recook the rom.

I think I will probably recook 6IEQMTIT myself (fixing all these things) and just update the link ... stay tuned ;)

Thanks for the feedback!
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
New version of 6IEQMTIT rom is now available (see first post).

Hello,

did you try version 23001.5.0.60 that Chanvis already post on his kitchen? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=513421
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Yes, I am in the middle of converting it right now :)

However ... I am reading some disturbing feedback in there about SMS/email messages not opening and such :eek: ... delaying my release of the P3600I version until I see what Chanvi says about it.

I still have a little bit of work left to do with making all of my own tweaks for the QMTIT2 build that I will include. I had just got them all nicely polished with 21900 and now the CHome launcher structure has changed (now running apps from CLinks instead of CWelcomeCenter) so I have to repeat the process for the new CLinks reg keys and CPR files.

Without these changes, the modified version of TitaniumWeather 4.2 will not show up. Also the new apps panel is all in french right now so I would have to edit it anyway, lol :D

I might even post a pre-cooked test NBH just to get some feed back before I post up the Kitchen (it is kinda annoying that the current 21900 Kitchen I am hosting requires so many "fixes" to be applied ... depending on how 23001 turns out I am tempted to post a "SP1" release of the 21900 Kitchen just to tidy things up).

While I am still at this stage, does anyone have any specific requests for the Kitchen, ext builds and/or precooked roms?

Just flashed 6IEQMTIT2 and fixed with TitaniumWeather.mscr

Why and how to get rid the "face plate (flashed warning)" every time after reboot. The indication as follows "MortScript v4.3b5" discription as ".mscr and .mortrun extensions registered. Please run any .mscr/.mortrun file or read the manual.

Have you got Configuration_Network.cab set to run from the SDConfig.txt on your Storage Card?

It was always something that the cv93+oggi roms had in the "postinstall" folder (many versions ago) and I still run that on all my roms (just hadn't thought to mention it in this thread .. sorry :o ).

If you haven't got that cab then you need to run it. It will setup all the gprs/mms network config for your carrier.
[P3600 ROM Development] desolateone:
Unfortunately I did not have that .cab set to go, but have installed it now and MMS is back running.

Other than that, this ROM is fast, low memory footprint, well set out and a pleasure to use.

I would love to see the tweaks from Schap's Advanced Config, under Power Management applied as part of upcoming ROMs that you may generate.

This is due to the ROM "appearing" to be a little battery hungry until you apply the power settings like AsyncMAC, IrSIR, PPTP and L2TP to enabled.

Hey,

I am really enjoying the ROMs that you produce and confirm that they are getting better, though slower. The larger fonts are gr8!

Could I ask that you make a less resource hungry one, say with Opera as the browser in lieu of IE if this is possible as I am unable to get Opera to work on your ROMs.

There are a lot of apps that are probably not used by a lot and slow the system down.

Perhaps a 'lite' version?

Another request (sorry) what do your anacronyms mean, for example "6IETIT" and "WWE+FRA".

regards tchoklat

PS I do not see donate boutton that I would gladly use! :)
[P3600 ROM Development] SuperSport:
Hope this helps! ;)
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Thanks Super :)

(hey if you get the chance it would be great if you could test flash one of my trinity roms and let me know if/how they are failing to boot)

@tchoklat

Yes, the WWE/FRA are just the windows codenames for English and French language on ROMs. This kitchen supports building both because the original chefs (Chanvi93 & oggi) are French. However due to demand I concentrate on cooking on WWE roms for download.

The EXT package bundle codenames (eg "6IEMANTIT") were created by Chanvi as quick abbreviations for [version of IE] + [Manila 2D] + [CHome Titanium]

(not a comical reference to "man boobs" :p )

In the past we had several bundles that had Titanium disabled and so the "TIT" did not seem so redundant ... however I feel it has matured now to the point where it is best to include it and just turn it off in "Today Items" if you really want to turn it back into no frills wm5/6 look.

I am actually still in the process of trying to optimise these ROMs but it is a complex issue when dealing with breeding-edge beta builds of 6.5.x ...

Start by choosing the non-Manila ROMs and maybe see if the IE6 ROM is any leaner for your needs.

However I am very happy to report that I have just finished uploading a newer (better) version of the 23060 Kitchen and ROMs. The links on the first page will be updated in the next few minutes.

Essentially I have modified all the TSK theme files in 23060 to remove the broken "PushButton" image values (invisible OK/Cancel bug), thus allowing me to go back to using the native 23060 GWES (which seems to have quite good memory management and stability).

I have also fixed up some startmenu icon images and changed the MortScript registration to run from config.txt AutoRun during first boot (so that you won't have it pop up every other time you reboot).

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of those apps will not slow down the system just by being installed (if you don't run them) ... you will only save "storage memory" by omitting them :(

However, I have been meaning to create a new "ultra lite" version. I will indeed leave out any frivolous apps, but I will also look at things like disabling some BT functionality as that chews a lot of background memory. Things like STK services could also be disabled ... I just need to work out what people consider "essential" in a bare bone ROM.

Give me a URL to whatever version of Opera you are trying to use and I will see if I can cook it in there.

Thanks! I am flattered but don't plan on listing my own paypal. You can always donate to XDA-Dev or to Chanvi & oggi for starting this kitchen (that I am now just evolving) or even to the member "Da_G" for constantly providing these latest 6.5 beta builds to the XDA-Dev community :D
