stupid question I know

First of all: Great Rom. This Rom saved my life!

I have two stupid question. I know I am getting grilled for that:

1.) My bottom bar with the windows start logo and start /contacts is black. Can I change the color of it? If yes, where? I am searching now for maybe 30 minutes :(

2.) I use Windows Basic as my home screen. Is there a chance to remove the internet calling line?

Sorry again for the stupid question and thanks for the unbrick tutorials.

I've gotten close to configuring the sip client, followed instructions here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299950

I am able to hook up to my sip provider, I call the phone number, phone rings, I can answer it, but I get no sound, and I can't hang up the phone, the buttons such as answer, and hang up do not work. I am using tmobile dash 3g with the latest 3volution Rom, I've tried so many different sip clients, and all of them don't work very well, Fring is the closest sip client I was able to use, but the one thing wrong with it is it disconnects all the time using my 3g service, wifi seems to work pretty well. I am only using a data plan, was hoping that sip built-in client would be something that worked well. Ookba any chance of getting the built-in sip client to work properly for the next build?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] adomad:
Thank you.

Does anyone have the problem that numbers are not getting recognized as a saved number?

If someone is calling me and his number is definitely in my telphone contacts, the phone is telling me "unknown".

Is there a solution for that?

Had to downgrade to 2.0 :(

Great ROM, but there is a high current draw, usually above 150mA. I have seen it at a high of 400 and as low as 90, but it is much higher compared to 2.0. The previous ROM at high is 200, low is 4, but I generally run about 52.

battery life in new ROM

Despite numerous posts on the topic indicating that the new ROM causes the battery to drain faster, my personal (unprofessional, non-quantitative) observation has been the opposite: the new ROM drains the battery at about the same rate with bluetooth and wifi turned off and the power consumption is MUCH LESS with bluetooth turned on!

With the last ROM, when I had bluetooth on (I use a jawbone prime headset, which seems to strangely cause more battery drain than my previous headsets), even without any phone calls, the battery would drain almost completely from a nearly full charge overnight. With the ROM, on the other hand, the charge level drops only ~10%.

Any chance to get the 23017 build for the Maple

... reading the battery consumption is somewhat discouraging to me to put on the ROM. I've tried the 3VO roms on the Dash (the old one) and they are fantastic... upgraded to the S521 and would like to have the same experience :-) - so any ETA on the 23017 build for the GSM folks?

Error opening shortcut

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename" error when I configure the long press for the inner circle button for "task manager" ??

I realised some of the shortcut options like "contacts", "filemanager" works but not all the application available works.

What could have gone wrong?

That's not correct. The correct behavior is for the phone to disconnect after the synchronization. Direct Push technology means that the server will "push" the email notification to your phone. Then the phone will connect, download the changes, and disconnect.

Problems with new build 112509

There are a couple of problems with the 112509 build. These two are the biggest issue.

1. No Internet connection. I have used the configurator several times, but despite epc.tmobile.com showing up correctly in the connection settings, it simply won't connect to the Internet.

2. Text labels do not display in the start menu

On a positive note, the GUI just flies now; it's so fast to tool around the menus, and opening programs takes next to no time any more. The new core seems to be much faster than before.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Verify your internet settings again. It's something you're doing rather than it being a ROM issue. To display text labels in Start Menu, enable them in Start, Settings, UI Tweaks.

The Internet problem turned out to be solved by unchecking the "Use Automatic Configuration" option in the menu of the Connection Manager.

The UI Tweaks solution was just what the doctor ordered to get my text labels back.

Great idea posting the BETA area. Unfortunately there will be a few draw backs to this that I can see. New folks with little experience jacking up their phones trying to get the latest and greatest from your kitchen. :)Not that BETA's are difficult but they are a test run for a reason.;) And your inbox is gonna be blowing up from all the feedback, or complaints.:rolleyes: I just wish you the best and hope it doesn't become too much of a headache for ya. :eek: I am downloading it now and gonna flash after lunch. I will add to your inbox clutter after a few days testing. Thanks again Ookba. You are awesome. :cool:

Beta is nice, not quite as snappy as 2.5, but the battery issue seems to have been addressed. Will look more closely when I get into the office in a few.

I was using the last BETA for 2.5 and had a late developing issue with Word for some reason. But my power consumption was fantastic. Longest I went was 76 hours on a charge.

But I will be sure to keep an eye on it. As always thanks to Ookba for all his hard work in making our devices that much better.

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] slipknotfn:
I noticed while running the 121009 BETA that while I had the titanium panels layout in the titanium toggler switched on the wording in the appointment section was messed up. I know that was a long sentence. The word calender is under the date when you scroll down to the appointment screen while on your homepage. And if you scroll right or left the new appointment wording is on top of the word appointments. If you switch the titanium layout off in the toggler this disappears. Anyone else notice this in the BETA? Other than that I am quite pleased so far with the BETA. I like the audio manager. Anyone know how to get the unlock clock screen from the Excalibur over to the 3G? I liked the huge clock at the push of a button. Cause sometimes ya just want to know what time it is.

Ookba:

Once again, bloody brilliant work!! Why aren't you working for HTC - if you were, I know all the 6.5 updates would have been released by now!!!!! Ditto for 7.

One question - the volume control in the later 6.5 cores, although nice to have, messes with the profiles. If I set up the profiles as some combination of vibe and ring, and then move the volume control from a ring volume to either vibrate or silent, it rewrites all the profiles, and from that point on, I can only get EITHER ring, OR vibrate, OR silent.

So, I took your v1.6 and extracted the three OEM volume files (HTCvolumeControl.dll, HTCVolumeControl.png and HTCVolumeControl.dll.0409.mui) and copied them over to your v2.5, overwriting the v2,5 files then rebooted. Got the .png graphic (without vib and silent), and the volume would increase/decrease when selecting a ringtone in the "Ring settings" ui. Vibe would work at the same time. However, when someone calls me, there is only one single volume for the ringtone (and notifications, reminder sounds etc). The system volume control will not actually increase/decrease the volume. Ditto for a profile settings.

To make this work, do I need to "register" the DLL file? Is there a way to "install" the volume only control from v1.6 into v2.0, 2.5, 2.6 etc? Perhaps a .cab file? Would a .cab work, or am I missing something more?

I really rely on my ring and vibe profiles in the office, so I'm currently "stuck" on your v1.6, but would love to be able to move forward to 2.6beta etc.....

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nvongsouvan@yahoo.ie:
Well, I've got the windows builtin sip client to work well, all I needed was a trixbox server which I already had. I was trying to connect the sip client directly to my sip provider, probably a nat issue or something, that's when I had the above problems. Everything works real good, I can dial via 3g or wifi, depending on where I am at. Magically, when I am in wifi range, the connection will automatically switch to wifi, and when i am on the road out of wireless range, it will switch to 3g, very nice. Occasionally it does not connect to my trixbox, but that's very rare. Overall, I can make US calls for less than 1 cent a minute, and when I average 300 minutes a month, and have to pay tmobile 29.99 for 450 min, well you can see what I am saving. I'd have to say though the call quality is decent, there are occasional cutoffs and lags during a conversation, but it may be that I have to do QOS on my home router, or the networks (3g via tmobile, comcast via home, is what I use) are sometimes saturated with traffic, mostly though, that's not the case, I've gotten pretty good call quality. One caveat is the sound comes out of the back speaker, which is a documented issue with sip on windows mobile, but it wasn't that bad with my dash 3g, I ended up getting a bluetooth microphone/speaker, and all sounds go to it when connected, so if I don't want someone eaves dropping on my conversation, I can just use that, not a big deal. I've tried to use audio switching software from speaker to earpiece, but nothing really worked well enough. Ookba, all I have to say is the 3volution has made this phone very functional for me, thanks! Keep up the good work.

I accidentally flashed this ROM to my T-Mobile Dash 3G. I say "accidentally" because I intended to only flash the HardSPL so I could -eventually- flash a ROM to the phone, but didn't think that because the HardSPL was in the same package as the ROM, it would go ahead and flash the whole shebang. Well, now I know this ROM will flash to my phone with no problem and it works very well so far! Nice work, ookba and jockyw2001!

@:OOKBA

Firstly, thank you very much for the work involved in the putting the ROM together, a really great effort! Secondly, I loaded both the 2.5 rom and then the 2.6 beta thereafter.

With both rom's I found a significant decrease in the battery life in comparison to the official 6.5 HTC rom, from around 2 days of active use, to about 6 hours with roughly the same amount of usage.

I have searched and tried everything that has been suggested but cannot reflash the original HTC rom, the only reason for wanting to do this being the battery life, your rom is far superior.

So rather happily so, it would seem as if I am "forced" for lack of a better word to use your rom, and would really appreciate it if you could concentrate on this aspect, i.e. the battery / power consumption, when brewing up the new ones :).......

Other than that, as feed back, I have used the beta rom for a few days now and haven't encountered any bugs, so thank you once again for your great work and effort!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] harunjo:
FYI as far i know , official htc rom is 6.5 rom and i am experienced with a lot battery consumption with this rom.

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Svenitos:
First of all, thank you very much for your hard work. I used 2.0 for a few months and I'm now testing 2.6 beta, but I'm having some issues.

- When I scroll back between my threaded text messages, it goes from one message to the other, but it doesn't scroll in the message itself. Since some messages are pretty long, I can't read it completely, only the first and last lines. BUT, if the last received/sent message is bigger than the screen, it IS possible to scroll between the messages.

- When I'm typing a message and scroll up and then to the left or right by accident, it goes to another message resulting in saving my message as a draft.

Does no one have the bothersome slow keyboard?

I upgraded tot Ookba's Rom in the hope that the key response would be faster but after 3 roms i've almost given up hope.

When i type a text message (or mail or internet message ala facebook etc) I am used to typing fast but even if I physically hit all the keys in my text the phone still manages to skip some letters, only if i type slow (which isnt really the point with such a phone) it registers all of the keys.

I've tried all kinds of tweaks and searched all over the place and have not found a sound solution and am now considering getting a blackberry, a bb has key response that i would expect from a qwerty phone.

So doesnt anyone know how to speed the keyboard response up?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Svenitos:
My Snap mostly can't follow the keys I'm hitting, but it never skips a letter.. So I assume you are a very fast typer or your keyboard is broken. :)

Hey Ookba!

Must say your rom is great! was on your september release (i think) for a long time and I recently upgraded to the current version. It's all good!

Just one thing though, on vibrate mode, when a msg comes in, it vibrates for like 3 seconds, which is very long! Kinda defeats the purpose of having it on vibrate so only you know you have a msg. So I think the whole office can hear my phone vibrate now when a message comes in haha!

Is there anyway to shorten the vibration length? It'll be great if there was some way to tweak the registry file (if there's one)

hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks again Ookba!

You rock!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] JcNeji:
Go to profile. then edit your vibrate profile and instead of having the rintype set to vibrate. set it to pulsing vibrate, then you get 3 real short bursts for a message, its better than a 3 second burst

US Dash 3G Keyboard Problem after Upgrading to 112509 Version

I had been running the 3VO.1.60.090209 since it came out. Had few issues, but decided to upgrade to the 2.50.112509 version, mostly in hope of fixing the Skyfire ALT key issue.

Upgrade went fine, but this new version doesn't work at all with my Dash 3G keyboard. No matter what I try, the SHIFT and ALT keys do not function correctly. This is a big problem ... I've tried changing the keymaps to US Layout for the SNAP, and to United Kingdom layouts. Also back to the stock layout. Nothing helps. I'm hesitant to try the German or French versions...

Has anyone with a US standard Dash 3G solved this issue? Otherwise it looks like I'll be downgrading back to 1.60.090209.

Edit 1/3/2009 - Downgrading to 2.00.101009 seems to have worked. At least for the keyboard issue.
