Greate dude ;) Thanks

Now what I need is a stock rom for S521 (keyboard with TAB key).

Just waiting for this so I can have my device back if something fails.

(I dumped my RAW files and post the links in the other thread)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Skeith:
and so it begins..

great job man!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] cpimentel:
I've flashed it... dude... it's beautiful!

The only problem 'til now is that the FN characters are not right.

If I press the FN + A, I should get '4', but I get '*', if I press FN + S, I get the '4' instead '5'.

Will set up mail etc trying to find any bug.

What is the 'Auto-lock' feature?

PS: using Snap as modem ;)

hey cpimentel. I created some stock ROMS for just that reason. You still have to JumpSPL or HardSPL but they are here. I will build another using your raw files shortly... :)

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Great!! Thanks. I'm using a Keylock program by Maniac. Much better than the HTC one, even has custom notifications for messages waiting, screen saver, etc. Turn it on in Settings, UI Tweaks. Configure it in Start Menu, Tools.

As for the keyboard, the default layout is for the US WWE SNAP/Maple/Dash3G. Go to Start Menu, Tools, run Keymap Config and select EU keymap. It will work!! :)

QuickGPS needs some love, have to see why it's not working... I think it's cause I used the package from Dash3G and not SNAP. I will check.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
I fixed it. Instead of a patch, just redownload the ROM from the original link and reflash. Also fixed one other bug I forgot. :)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] cpimentel:
I see the same stock version as mine available to download, thanks dude ;)

hi. thanx for the ROM. I would like to confirmed that it worked liked a cham on my HTC Snap S526 from Singapore..

:D

will make a donation for TS and JockyW :)

oh yah... the weather program included.. i am supposed to give a zip code or location code... does that mean its only applicable for US?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Dude, just reflash. Obviously something went wrong. No need to start a panic!

Already 10 downloads and flashes including a forum moderator. No problems.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] bmnaccounts:
I'm going to read up on how to do a hard reset. I can't re-flash because the flash program doesn't recognize a device. I'm not trying to scare anyone - just trying to bring up some valid points in case it's a problem that needs to be addressed...
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Ok good. Power the phone off. While holding Volume UP, power it on. Follow what it says to do. However, you may just have a bad flash. Could have been a power surge, moved the phone, USB problem. I would suggest reflash. And use a different USB port while you're at it. :)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] bmnaccounts:
Will try that - thanks!

EDIT: Looks like that worked! Thanks, I'll be following up! I really appreciate everything - sorry if I came off as a bit of a fear mongerer... your ROMs are fantastic!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nightryder21:
Yea. Plus they will have other stuff on there too. So yea I think it would be great.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] i_am_rufus:
OK, just updated and I'm very pleased with the improvements, expecially IE.

Observations so far:

The bottom soft bar keeps the transparent background screen on it in all screen.

On the main menu, when you select "add" on the Internet panel, it just takes you straight into Internet Explorer.

Otherwise..... so far so good!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] i_am_rufus:
OK, one little problem. I can't update GoogleMaps at all. Every time I try to install I get a "can't install" error.

OK solved it. You must update right after a reboot. If you run Google Maps at all, files become locked and you can't update, even if the app is shut.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] bmnaccounts:
Got everything up and running again and it's looking pretty good. I will 2nd what rufus said about the add/remove favorites and how now it just opens IE. Will test around for any other new bugs...

EDIT: There is a typo in Settings > AGPS ;)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] i_am_rufus:
Now I've got a tricky one for you. Not actually a bug, but a change none the less.

On the stock O/S as well as your previous ROM release, Google Maps was able to turn on the WIFI for a brief moment to gather addition fix information to improve your location. It was able to do this even if it was running in the background for Latitude location sharing. It no longer does this however, and the only way to get the improved fix all the time is to leave WIFI on (it doesn't need to actually connect to an access point). This, or course, drains the battery much faster than desired.

Is this something that can be looked at?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] brad1825:
AGPS = Assisted GPS
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] bmnaccounts:
Yes, exactly. Have you gone to that menu setting? It says "asistance".
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nightryder21:
I don't know if this is a bug or a problem with my phone. The "Locate Me" function in Bing and the "My Location" feature in Google do not work anymore on the updated rom. Anybody else having this issue? Also I second the Add Favorite on the Favorites Panel.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Not me. My Location works with or without using GPS. No problem!?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
DO NOT use backup software

Ok, I have to reiterate, if you guys are using backup software to flash and restore onto a new ROM or an upgrade, DO NOT! Most of my ROM updates are very different, both in the registry, some resource files, and OEM software packages. This means that the registry settings being restored could break the phone, make it freeze, or brick it temporarily.

Please only restore files, not settings or registry entires when upgrading to a new ROM. Thank you.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nightryder21:
Weird. Find My Location works fine with GPS but when it tries to use the cell towers it can't "find" me. Also I am still having trouble adding programs to the App Panel. If there is only one .exe in the Folder it will not lett me add it to the panel. It just says "Files Not Found"

By the way what screen grab program are you using? Thanks
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
The fix for the App Panel is when there's only ONE exe, highlight it, then press the key on the keyboard corresponding to the first letter of the app name. So it it's Google Maps, select it on the right and press "G". Then hit ok. That works.

Weird about My Location. I can get it to work with cell towers or GPS.

Trying to find a fix for the Favorites panel. Just noticed it. Weird. It's always like that though. You fix one thing, another breaks... Lol.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] patfee:
just flashed the 1.50 version

works brilliant.... many thanks!

One "bug?" is that the keys are not correctly mapped

All letters are oke.

but the digits, when i use the fn keu, are moved one row to the left

is there a way to correct this? -> SOLVED... used the keymap configurator and set the keyboard to UK

Thanks again for this great rom!

Yes, Keymap Config allows you to set your keyboard. As I get more Keymap files, I will add them to the app. :D

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Great. this version is much more stable than the last. I made the lock arrow blue to match the remainder of the colors in the ROM. :)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] i_am_rufus:
OK, I flashed back to the previous OS then back to this one just to confirm, and the WIFI assistance certainly did work with your previous ROM. On the previous ROM, even though WIFI is turned off, when Google Maps opens you can see the WIFI icon flash a few times at the top of the screen, then you get a very precise fix if there are any access points nearby. On this ROM, this isn't happening at all, and the only way for the precise fix is to turn WIFI on and leave it on.

hi ookba , i've a problem with your latest ROM , launching RUU nothing happen , flash don't start. the same even tryng with the snap in bootloader mode , what am I wronging ?

(obviously before start the flash I have removed sd and sim card).

I had installed spl 1.19 when I had flashing the old version of your rom...

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] JcNeji:
ookba, do u think it is possible to fix/check to see what is wrong with the keyboard typing, the sluggishness is really getting me to to point i am thinking of getting another phone

I love the snap but it is a messaging device and if i cant type at a reasonable speed without missing letter...
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
No, it worked. CABS just say that sometimes. Check Accessories. They should be gone.

Did you actually extract the RAR file? You cannot run the RUU within a ZIP or RAR folder. Please actually extract it to your hard drive and then run it.

Seems more like an MS thing to me than a ROM issue. Keep in mind that these are still development cores so they may have little things like that missing. Try enabling/disabling Automatic update of date/time.

Looks like maybe this new core 21939 is causing some issues. The old ROM was on 23017 which is older than 21939.

I think what I'll do it re-release the ROM back under 23017 with the remainder of the fixes later today or tomorrow. If you already flashed 21939, stay on it for now, then flash to 23017. :D
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] benny73:
i've extracted the rar file in a desktop folder, and then i've launched the .exe romupdate utility, but the progress bar stops at 0%.

there are some solutions? can i try to flash by sd?

Looks like some bugs were found. I have recooked the ROM back under 23017 and will release a 1.60 shortly for those having particular issues. I too have found some bugs with 21939 unfortunately. That's the way it is cooking ROMS!

1.60 will esentially be the same as 1.50 other than the core, built in widget and favorites panel fix. If you are not having issues with 1.50, by all means, keep using it. I will eventually take 1.50 down. Up to you if you want to upgrade though. :)

Check the first post soon for 1.60!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] brad1825:
Core Performance Increases

Besides the bugs you found in 21939, is that core any faster than 23017?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
That question is difficult to answer but I have to say my D3G seems faster on 23017. I found several bugs with 21939 including gwes.exe and a few other modules causing various parts of the OS to get affected. The average user will not notice much of a difference. But I suggest an upgrade to 1.60 eventually.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] i_am_rufus:
Just tried ROM 1.60, specifically testing the WIFI assisted location detection in Google Maps. After OS install, I straight away upgrade the Google Maps version to 3.2.1, then go in and detect my location. On this ROM, as on 1.50, the location detection is only Cell Tower based, with accuracy about 1200m. On ROM 1.00, the accuracy also uses WIFI, and accuracy is down to 200m. You can tell this is working, when you open Google Maps the WIFI icon flashes a few times up near the clock.

This test was done straight after installing the ROM. Only the carrier auto set-up runs, and Google Maps updated. The WIFI is still turned off on all ROMS, so Google Maps is able to briefly turn it on to do a search, then turns it back off.

This is a VERY handy feature to have indeed as it saves the battery considerably, but still provides improved accuracy in Google Maps without having to use the GPS.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Never used that feature. I used a very old GM package in 1.00 from the TMO OEM. in 1.50 as in 1.60 I used the GM package from the HTC SNAP unbranded OEM. Wonder if there are simply registry settings causing this. The only other major thing I changed in 1.50 and 1.60 is IE6. Not sure what to tell you. I will try to find a solution.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nightryder21:
I was just about to post that I found 23017 much faster. I also liked the IE6 on that core. I am also having a weird issue where if I m using the phone the screen will got to my email but only the top and bottom bar show up as email. The actual screen stays on whatever I was using. I can "scroll" between my accounts and stuff but the screen does not change.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] marcin12marcin:
Does this rom offer improvement in voice quality over stock rom?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] i_am_rufus:
Don't worry about looking into the GM package, I just tested the stock ROM again and the feature works fine on it as well. So your thinking that it may be a registry item seems very likely.

It must have something to do with the way applications can activate hardware themselves without user intervention, but is being disabled now some how.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] bmnaccounts:
I'll add to the voices of opinion, in that build 23017 is significantly faster...

Well it looks like WiFi does work. I was at 700m with cell towers, no GPS. Then I switched on WiFi and it jumped to 70m! Did it several times so I know turning on WiFi is what does it. Not sure why it doesn't turn on WiFi on it's own like you said it did in 1.00 but it works!! :) I will try to figure out how to get it to turn on WiFi automatically.

EDIT: And under Menu, Help, About, it now says wifi: 3.

You have to find your Accuweweather location code. Search around on XDA and Accuweather.com. Someone has a direct link to Accuweather to find location codes, I just don't know what that link is.

1. You probably have to go to Settings, Regional Settings, and set your locale if you haven't done so already. There has to be a Scandanavian keymap file around. Do you know anyone else that has a SNAP in your area? Or maybe go back to the store where you got it and grab the kmap file off a new one? :)

2. JZ will work. Or just search around. Take a look at this link and this link for info.

Its not Titanium Configurator. You're using Icons that arent the same size as the Titanium Icons for the remaining panels. Grab an icon or two from \Windows and make your new icons the same size. Then they won't stretch.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
I keep telling people NOT TO USE BACKUP software or restore system files. Only restore documents, ringtones, etc. Every build is different with many improvements so file locations and formats of files will be different from build to build. Especially if your PIM file is from WM 6.1. Follow my unbricking guide to fix the phone.
