I can't seem to get MMS to work?

I installed ArcSoft.MMS.v5.0.71.33

When I go to send a message it seems like its trying to send it via email as it only shows my contacts that have email + phone number on it.

Second issue is if you go to settings > personal > phone you cannot save any settings until you copy over 1 voice file. For some reason if the combobox is empty (no voice file) you cannot exit out of this page. To fix copy any file to your ring tones directory.

I do like the rom so far. Very fast, especially on my txt messages which I send so many of.

update: 12:23 est

I got MMS to work, don't know how..but I did. It shows proper contacts, and also when I go to compose a message its the actual MMS template.

New version released: Bare WM 6.5 23009 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed.

New version Released: Bare WM 6.5 23009 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed.

I have released a new versions of ALL files of the "Bare WM 6.5 23009 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed" in order to address the issues that were reported up until post #38

Both Vanilla and Chocolate flavored ROM's were updated, as well as the source files and configuration files for those that want to cook your own ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Glad to hear that you solved the MMS issue. My ROM hasn't removed any files related to emailing, so every thing should work OK. Sometimes all it needs is a soft reboot.

From the context of your paragraph I guess that with 'voice file' you are actually referring to a sound file.

In this ROM I purposely got rid of as many sounds files as possible, to allow people to install their own sound files and save the space that the unused sound files take. The nice thing about this is that you can use any sound file you like and it won't use RAM space. For example I have about 100 sound files (most of them ring tones) in a directory which I call "My Ringtones" on the external memory card.

It is true that when you first boot the ROM you should go to phone settings and choose the ring tone you want to use for the ringing of the phone. I will incorporate that learning as a tip on post #1. Thanks for reminding me.

Awesome rom, just curious, my screen is a bit laggy, I guess the D3D drivers are not incorporated into these roms.

This is exactly what i need aswell, just would like some smoothness as the menus are a bit laggy.

Thanks a lot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
As you provably know HTC (the manufacturer of the Kaiser / Tilt) didn't release the proper drivers for this device. So perhaps that explains the lag you are talking about.

The video drivers that are incorporated into this ROM are:

1) HTC-TI-Kaiser-Drivers with demo removed

2) NeoS2007 OpenVG Drivers

I am not familiar with the D3D drivers that you are talking about, but I did a quick search on xda-developers and I found a post stating that those drivers DO NOT work with WM 6.5 ROMs that incorporate the 101 MB memory hack. The "vanilla" and "chocolate" ROMs both have the 101 MB of RAM; therefore they are incompatible with the D3D drivers.

Here is the post that talks about that:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4337766&postcount=3

The posts suggest that if one cooks a ROM without the 101MB hack, then the drivers may work; but if you follow the thread you will see that people have tried with all RAM configurations and haven't gotten it to work with WM 6.5.

If you like my ROM, you can try cooking versions with different RAM configurations and seeing if you can get the D3D drivers to work for you. You can download burn your own ROM with the source files and configuration files (which I make available in post #1). If you use OndraSter's Kitchen (osKitchen) you will be able to easily select among three RAM configurations from a pull down menu. Good luck. If you get it to work let us know!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Gozzy69a:
Thanks for prompt reply, I would love to see if I can get these sorta things working, but unfortunately, the business I'm in, doesn't allow me any time, let alone family time. But in all honesty your rom is the fastest and I'm probably going to stick with it for a while unless you bring out a newer version :) or someone else brings out a naked fast (and more improved rom).

Thanks for your hard work.

battery performance?

This thread has been for helpful for me, especially the first post with all the downloads. thx!

I have a question about battery performance. Before I was using TCP v9 ROM and got considerably better battery performance than I do now with my self cooked bare ROM.

In the ROM I have cooked in

SPB mobile shell 3

Vito SMS-Chat

GPS Test

Pocket Player

and a few others like htc calc...

i also removed the aerial battery status.

does cooking these programs into the ROM affect battery as opposed to just installing them with a cab? Or are there some battery related files that have been removed that could affect performance?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
I am not familiar with all the programs you mention, but I know that some of them like SPB Mobile Shell would definitely cause more memory usage and hence more battery usage, as it is always on.

The different memory usage may be caused by different usage on your part. The thing that affects usage the most is the screen. Make sure you setup a timeout of 1 min or so; and setup the device to turn off after say 3 minutes. That will help a lot. Turn off doesn't really turn it off; it just turns off the screen totally; but phone still works and the like.

The other things that cause a lot of battery usage is using more than 1 communication method (Wi-Fi, Edge, etc.) at once. If you have WiFi on but your device doesn't connect to Wi-Fi (because you are out of range or something) that eats a lot of battery.

No, I haven't taken out any battery features, but the settings of those (whether WiFi is in battery savings more or performance mode, screen timeout, etc.) may have changed since you now have them at Windows Mobile default and the other ROM may have had them at some other setting.

Hope this helps.

MMS Proxy

opps, i need to read further
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Chaisu:
thanks, i opened communication manager and saw 3g auto was on, after switching that off i'm back to my expected battery power.

one more questions... i added any files dealing with wifi (or that had wifi in the name) which had been removed, but i still can't seem to find a "wifi settings" or anywhere to get a list of wireless networks. All I get when I turn on wifi is a baloon the shows a couple networks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Adding those files was completely unnecessary if all you want to see is a list of networks and other WiFi settings. Assuming that you have the VERY latest ROM installed (I have made updates, so make sure you have the latest), then you can get WiFi settings in two ways:

1) Comm Manager - Settings - Wireless Lan

2) Start - Settings - Connections - WiFi

List Start Menu" Alternative to Honey Comb Start Menu

"List Start Menu" Alternative to Honey Comb Start Menu

In my quest to make this ROM even easier and quicker to use, I have been searching for a way to quickly launch programs. I first stumbled across CLauncher, a Titanium (Today) screen plug-in and I was so excited that I developed another 3 plug-ins and made them available through this post in the Clauncher thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4282868&postcount=163

and I even made icons available for the CLauncher here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4288989&postcount=164

However, a few days ago I stumbled upon a solution called "List Start Menu" which is basically a replacement the 'honey comb' start menu of WM 6.5

The HoneyComb start menu is pretty, but it is not very quick operate. Somehow our brains are not equiped to quickly look and process data in a 'honey comb' pattern. It is much quicken to process linear patterns; and it is also easier to navigate through single lists with a cursor or joystick.

Compared to the CLauncher solution, the "List Start Menu" saves RAM, doesn't duplicate function with the Start Menu, doesn't require any setting beyond the installation of a CAB file, doesn't require extraction or creation of icons, updating of entries, etc.

So I spent a full day fixing the 'List Start Menu' in order for it to support landscape mode (previously only portrait mode was supported), and I hereby invite you to check it out. Perhaps it is also a better solution to you.

You can read the whole post and download the installation cab file here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4351597&postcount=47

For me this is such a great improvement over the honey comb, that I am never going back!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OndraSter:

Make sure you have in Sources\EXT folders: Apps, Fixes, Settings, SYSpkgs (small/cap letter shouldn't make a difference).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ramos96:
same as before, but i was able to build a rom and it flashed correctly so im not that worried about it. beer money coming friday when i get paid :D

now its time to learn how to:

change bootup screen

change bootup animation

and adding my own cabs

sincerely,

ramos96 :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OndraSter:
Bootup screen is now in More Tweaks menu since last release and animation you must add package with HTCAnimation and then you can edit or change the .gif file in it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
If you are creating a new ROM based on the 'source' files that I post on page 1, then in order to change the bootup animation and the Windows boot up screen you will have to go to the following directory and change the files there INSTEAD of changing them through the "More Tweaks" menu of osKitchen (that feature was NOT available in oSKitchen back in the days when I put together this ROM)

D:\osKitchen\Sources\EXT\Settings\Startup Animation - PW

The files you can change from there are:

animated.gif (this is the animation that shows up after the boot up screen. You can replace it with any animated gif file as long as you keep the same name AND it is of the right size. The one that I have included by default is the HTC logo animation)

Welcomehead.96.png (this is the Windows boot up screen. You can replace it with any png file as you keep the same name and it is of the right size. The one that I have included by default is the Windows 7 screen)

Changing the bootup screen CAN NOT be done from the kitchen itself. That requires flashing of a special nbh file. The good news is that the flashing of such a file can happen at ANY time (be it before you install a rom, or afterwards). Its just like a radio ROM, its installation is independent from the ROM installed, and you won't have to reinstall a new ROM or RADIO after you flash a new splash screen. However the process of how to do is beyond the scope of this forum, so I suggest you use the search function to fine a thread that talks about that.

Good luck.

Since v1.0.8 it can :) http://clip2net.com/clip/m12051/1250194534-clip-179kb.png
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Yes, I know it can. I have version 1.0.8

However when I put together the Bare WM 6.5.23009 Cooked ROM's and the source files with unnecessary items removed it didn't.

Therefore the dll files which are necessary for the animation are all bundled up TOGETHER with the animated.gif and Welcomehead.96.png files inside these folder:

D:\osKitchen\Sources\EXT\Settings\Startup Animation - PW

If people that are trying to burn a new ROM download the source files I made available to them, and use your Tweak Menu to add their own files, but do not select "Startup Animation - PW" as an EXT option, then the animation will NOT work because it is missing the dll files.

Now if they DO select "Startup Animation - PW" when burning their ROM, but they also specify animated.gif and Welcomehead.96.png files through your Tweak Menu, then the outcome will be unpredictable, because who knows if your kitchen will give preference to the animated.gif and Welcomehead.96.png selected through the Tweak Menu or the ones inside the Startup Animation - PW EXT folder. I guess the outcome will depend on whether your kitchen burns the EXT folder first or the ones selected through the Tweak menu. Only you (or somebody who has tried to create that conflict) can answer the question.

In a future build of this ROM I will get rid of the conflict by moving my chosen animated.gif and Welcomehead.96.png to the original directories, but for the time being the conflict exists.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OndraSter:
It can only splash screen (splash.nb) and welcomehead.96.png, NOT animation! So it won't be unpredictable, Animation you must do on your own package.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
WOW. I didn't know you figured out a way to incorporate the splash screen nb file into the kitchen. That's fantastic! Congrats.

Well in that case the only thing I need to move back to its original directory (in a future build) is the welcomehead.96.png..and that is the only one that could potentially cause a conflict since th order of installation will determine which is the one that is installed last...and hence the one that is visible when the ROM boots up for the first time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OndraSter:
I named package created by kitchen zzz_oskitchen_pkg (or something like that, I'd have to check source code for exact name) so unless your package is more far in alphabet, kitchen will overwrite it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Good thinking OndraSter. My EXT package is called "Startup Animation - PW", so it comes before your package...hence based on your explanation the windows startup screen selected through the Tweaks menu will be the one displayed. So there doesn't seem to be an issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mvmpy:
Thank you Witschey for your great work.

I am giving it a try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mudkip:
do you think you could include a version with the HTC task manager? as well as the keyboard sliding sound. i installed sounds and it auto set one for keyboard and i cant find the sound file
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mvmpy:
Just reporting one crash for the record:

I was using the IE when I slided out the keybord, and hit "enter" to start searching on the Google page. The phone restartet by itself.

What I am missing for "my personal" use is the Task Manager (which I will install some .cab file), Battery Icon Meter and the Wheather Widget.

It is really fast and stable. Great Work Witschey, thanks for this ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mvmpy:
I do not like the Titanium UI, so I installed the MotoSurf Home Screen from jboogie3 witch incorporates the Battery Meter and the Wheather Widget.

As for the Task Manager I installed FdcSoft TaskMgr 3.1.

So far, everything is working fine. I love this ROM since it leaves us so much room for personal programs and cabs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
The keyboard sliding sound IS already part of the ROM. I used the 'Piano' type. If you want a different one you should go to the Windows directory of your PPC and search for the following file:

SlidingSound.exe

Execute that file, and after that you will be given other choices for the Sliding Sound.

In a future release of the ROM I will incorporate a shortcut to 'SlidingSound.exe' in the "Systems Tools" folder of the Start Menu. For the time being you need to access it as I describe above or create the shortcut on your own.

As to the Task Manager that item was left out on purpose because I consider other task managers to be better, and I don't like to have duplicate applications on my ROM's.

If you want the task manager in your ROM you need to cook a ROM by yourself. I only cook new ROMs when I in inadvertently crippled a feature, or forgot a shortcut (like in the Sliding Sound issue you reported), but when I purposely left an item out, you need to cook the ROM by yourself.

All you need to do is move the missing item from the 'Files removed from Sources' folder that I made available on post #1 to the SAME directory where you find it, but on the sources directory...and burn as usual.

Here is the place where you will find the task manager related files:

\Files removed from sources\EXT\Apps\TaskManager_2_1_37385_2

\Files removed from sources\SYS\23009\Shell\taskmgr.exe

Good Luck.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
That is strange because the video playback files ARE there, so you should have no problem watching the video. I played a few videos and the first time i got a black screen for a short while, and then the video started. After that it worked well. Maybe the operating system takes a little while to find files, create registry entries and the like; not sure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mvmpy:
You are right, it works. I did two things. I turned off the phone and restarted it. And I started the video from de playlist of the WM Player, and not from the File Explorer. So i don´t know which of both things did make it work, but it works just fine.

Any Ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Glad you like it. The SIM Manager is not part of the operating system, it is an external application that is added by the manufacturer or the user.

If you download the removed files from post #1 you will find a folder called:

Dopod_SIM_Manager_1436365_by_NiTroGen

In there is the SIM Manager. You can try to put together a cab file from that package and install it, or you can burn your own ROM with that folder.

OR you can do a search on xda-developers to see if somebody has a cab file ready which you can apply yourself.

I personally don't use the SIM card storage for anything. I keep all my contacts on the phone's memory and since I use Microsoft Exchange, I can simply synchronize with other phones when I need to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] livebackwards75:
