FreeOTFE4PDA - transparent disk encryption program

Hi All,

It been quite a few releases since i last tried FreeOTFE4PDA, now more and more it seems i'm relying in storing sensitive information on my phone, i just recently tried getting FreeOTFE4PDA to work in the newer builds, September 4th, 2010 - 24631 and did not work. I was wondering if anyone has had luck getting FreeOTFE4PDA to work on a recent build ?

Every time i try to mount a volume, it displays "Mount failed; the virtual storage device could not be activated at this time"

FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" transparent disk encryption program for PCs and PDAs

With this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on your PC/PDA. These disks operate exactly like a normal disk, with the exception that anything written to one of them is transparently, and securely, encrypted before being stored on your computer's hard drive.

http://www.freeotfe.org/

I thinking of giving the September 8th, 2010 - 24634 a shot to see if i get luckly :)

thanks!

Laz.

I've been working on getting a bluetooth stereo headset adapter working, but the audio skips a lot. A person in the thread for it suggested an application called SKTools. It didn't have the ability to adjust a setting called "A2Dp SBC bitpool" to fix the skipping. Is this something related to Energy ROM that it isn't there? Does Energy have a way to adjust this setting?

hello.

have anybody become GER rom from nrg?

in first post stands that must contact nrg...but no answer from him a few days now :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
I have no skipping with blue tooth when streaming to my Pioneer 7000BT car stereo over bluetooth. No problems when playing music on the phone or streaming Pandora while driving.

What device are you connecting to?

And what are you trying to play over bluetooth?

Does it skip at all when not using bluetooth?

What do you mean by adapter? Blue tooth is built in. You just need a blue tooth headset. No adapter needs to sit between. Or were you not meaning that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] J-Hop2o6:
if your Bluetooth A2DP audio is skipping, then restart your phone and reconnect again.. it does that to me sometimes, and the only fix is to restart my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
How did you attempt to contact him?

I would suggest twitter or instant messenger rather than PM on XDA.

I have been loyal 21xxx. I wavered when people fell in love with 24xxx and said the title post should be changed claiming 24 was most stable. It was overeaction. If you still want no random freezes or brainfarts 21xxx is where to be.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] raz1337:
I'll be more specific. It's a bluetooth stereo headset adapter. I plug headphones into it, and it transmits audio from my phone. So, naturally, I'm playing music or listening to a movie over the headphones. There is no skipping without bluetooth. The adapter only skips when I move the adapter around. It's fine when stationary, but it makes walking and listening to music impossible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] deeznuts:
How does it play through bluetooth bro? I also have a pioneer avic 90-bt system in my ride. When i make a connection for bluetooth on my tilt2 it just gives the option for bluetooth headset and something about a serial port, nothing for audio headset? My device connects to the unit fine via bluetooth for calls but how would i play music via bluetooth on my head unit?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
Yes: clearly XDA_UC is restoring/configuring something that is causing the problem. Check the contents of XDA_UC folder in your card and if you can't figure out what is wrong, perform your installations and configurations manually (without using XDA_UC), and export them again.

Anyone else struggling with email notification sounds failing after a while?

Mine seems fine on boot, ok for a while but then just gives up, ringer and text notifications OK though.

This is 4th September ROM, which personally I think was the best ROm released yet! Top work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steve4bass:
Are the version designations 21916 and 24634 given to the ROMs by NRGZ, or are they actual Microsoft versions of the OS which NRGZ has ported and modified?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] chetbkool:
Microsoft versions, beta, leaked and final releases that NRGZ and other chefs use to cook in the ROM's.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Ok, I think I understand.

Phone uses bluetooth to connect to adaptor.

Regular non bluetooth headphones plug into this adaptor.

Not sure why there would be skipping from that. Check memory usage next time you experience skipping.

Works great. The pioneer 7000BT supports both calling and stereo audio. So, any music, or videos use the vehicle's speakers. Not all pioneer units support it. The 7000BT supports it without any add on unit needed. It is not just a hands free kit. It was the newest Pioner model available in February of 2009. It also supports SB thumb drives for music. They also had a 700BT and I think the only difference was the voltage to the connectors to an amp if you use a seperate amp, which I don't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] raz1337:
Memory usage is 62/185 and it skips.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] elazullizard:
Actually I found out it wasn't. I flashed to the stock ROM (No UC) and I found out when I booted up after awhile, the ROM asked me to hard reset. Apparently it's a problem with my bootloader or something. Still, I'm Hard SPL'd so that can't be it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
The ROM asked you to HARD reset??? Never saw something like this.

However, this does not eliminate the possibility that XDA_UC is restoring or configuring something wrong, as the problem you described before was a different one (freezing), unless your description isn't clear to me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Flash of Energy.RHODIUM.24634.Sense2.5.Cookie.Sep.07

Finally flashing Energy.RHODIUM.24634.Sense2.5.Cookie.Sep.07

Had a busy week and am just getting to this now.

Made a couple tweaks to my XDA_UC.

XDA will now resoring Application Data for WinFourSquare for me.

Thought about restoring Panoramic MoTweets settings and authentication, but the whole token thing with OAuth. I think I would need to export just before a flash every time if I did that.

I am also adding the program tab through XDA_UC.

Also, attempting to restore Favorites Order as a reg file. We'll see if this works. (This does not work. I was hoping the ids were stored in exchange. They must not be.)

Living on the edge with this flash. Leaving SIM in.

I am also installing Auto Call Recorder (ACR) and settings.

Needing it for some legal issues.

Might search for a non video dialer so ICR will work. Video call isn't available for me anyway.

Flash succeeded XDA_UC is running. Will report more later.

Had issues, getting the people tab to restore, even with Fav People backup. I am attibuting it to the attempt to restore Favorite Order. I may have to write an app for that.

Reflashing without the SIM in. Going to sync everything over wifi before putting my SIM in.

After XDA_UC completed and sense loaded, I soft reset.

Now, turning on wifi and synching over active sync.

Favorites are gone. I had deleted the messed up ones before reflashing.

Used Favorite People Backup to restore. It only restored 5 them successfully.

Eventually the others showed up. Wierd.

Sticking the sim in now.

Will continue testing.

Everything is working great. Only thing to manually setup is Favorite Order for people. Not too important. I only keep 7 in my favorites.

Memory seems great. Been through all the tabs multiple times and I have 48 MB left.

questions

I just flashed cookie sense 24xxx sept 7 version and it seem really laggy

when your going through the start menu when going to folder to folder...

Is it just me or does this seem to be the case in general ???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
ROMs are always a little laggy initially. Give it a while. Make sure everything is done synching and soft reset after that.

But, maybe you should have left the page pool at 18. Lowering it to 14 might be too low.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] L4RRY:
Please, can anyone reupload me somewhere Sep 4 24xxx DinikGlass ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] coppertop:
I had the same experience with the Sept. 7th Standard but after a little use, it kicked in and is running nicely.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsmith154:
home layout question.

I have the tasks selected in the home layout and chose to list as many tasks as possible. This allows me to scroll through them after draging down the tab to see my multiple tasks.

I do not see a selection for the calendar when I goto add it to my home layout, but it is there. That is good to have because I love this function. I had it set up, in the past to function just like my tasks as described above. I must be having a brain fart because I looked allot! to find where to select how far ahead from the calendar this tab for the calendar to list as the tasks function lists. Another words, I would like this home layout calendar tab to list allot of schedualed dates so I can pull down this tab and scroll though them just like my tasks home layout tab does.

Does any one know what setting and where it is so I can get this funciton back again?

My Calendar tab is on my home layout but only lists one date and when I slide the tab down no ther dates show up. When I slide the tab down with my tasks tab on the home layout they do show up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] prisoner881:
I'm having similar lag. Scrolling through tabs is painfully slow. Menu's pop up amazingly slow as well. I flashed from CHT/Dinik/Sep04 build and didn't have these issues with the prior. Task29'd first, of course, but that doesn't seem to matter.

Does NRGZ28 have a Rhodium/Tilt2 to test these with anymore? Recent builds just don't seem all that usable on Rhodium hardware. RAM usage is just too high. Arkswitch dies all the time because of it. I'm sure all this works like a charm on an HD2 but it seems to be just too much for a Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buffalosolja42:
Ram and speed

I know if I did research I would find this but I was reading NRGz twitter post and even he was baffled to why the Topaz with Cookie and Dinik default free ram was over 100mb!! we need to look into this to get our phones running, or people with CDMA might just be lucky
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dafunk60:
I'm glad it helped you but the credit should go to the people who figured out the start menu was using so much memory, the people who made the referenced cabs, and NRG for sharing his great ROM's. I just made a 23xxx energy specific tutorial.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
I am honestly seeing no lag.

AFAIK, NRGZ28 does not own a Tilt 2, but owns a Verizon Touch Pro 2.

And, if I recall correctly, he borrowed BigBadger's Tilt 2 for a while.

When memory runs low, do a soft reset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buffalosolja42:
Is your rom default just asking trying to figure how to get optimal settings for my tilt, and I thought he had Tmobile. Either way we appreciate his work, I do have a suggestion have a cab(s) for the things different in reference to standard that way people can pick and choose (may help some).

08 September memory

I have also noticed a bit of a slowness on this recent set of ROMs upon the initial boot. For me it was solved by my usual setup through XDA_UC. The biggest RAM-savers are lowering the pagepool. This one wasn't very high, though. I believe they are set to 18 in this release. I normally lower mine to 16 before flashing, though. I also replace the start menu with quick menu. I normally have it settle around 85MB after using it all day long.

We also have to bear in mind that other than the start menu, the biggest memory hog is Sense. Sense was not designed to run on our device. TouchFlo 3D was created with the lower (relatively) specs of the Rhodium, which is why it was shipped with our devices. Only recently, on 30 August if I'm not mistaken, was there a ROM update released for AT&T for this device. Even still, it comes with a 21xxx SYS, which also affects the memory use of the phone.

Most of the cool stuff on the Energy ROMs are designed with higher spec'd devices in mind. This is the price we pay for running software made for HD2 level devices with half the hardware specs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buffalosolja42:
I totally agree with you I may implement the quickmenu back into mine as well too keep from rebooting, I still think it is funny that the start menu uses so much space you save like 20+ deleting it I guess I will I am bored lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
I didn't mess with the change pool or anything (18 MB is low in enough IMO). And I am not even over clocking right now. I even run Voice Command and Auto Call Recorder.

There is something that eats up memory though. Today, I hardly touched my phone. Received about a dozen emails, missed 1 call. I was down to 30 MB freee. Phone was in the house most of the day while I was doing work in the yard.

I am thinking of scheduling a reboot to occur at about 3 or 4 in the morning. With Tools/Task Manager on the about dialog, it tells how to schedule a reboot. But, it seems that I will need to be awake at the time I schedule it. I suppose I could make a mort script to sleep until 4 am and then schedule it.

Something I don't understand is why the memory used adds up to about 60 MB, but only about 60 MB is free. Basic math would say if I have 185 as the total, and 60 is in use, that I would have 125 MB free. But I have about 60 MB free. I started killing services, thinking that memory might not be showing up. Only the volume control service freed up about 2 MB. Why they didn't just throw 1 GB of ram on these things is beyond me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buffalosolja42:
Totally agree with after deleting my start menu and using quick menu my norm was around 65mb free now it is at 89 free ;/ I will report back on this rom, my take on these nice roms is that I like the task manager on the 21xxx series it seems more stable than arkswitch and sometime my arkswitch keeps me on the screen for at least 3 secs after I hit the end button (not a biggie but if crunched for time ...). I am just trying to figure (sorry to say again) how does the CDMA variant of the Topaz have 100mb free? could it be a radio issue or something with GSM? And do people actually see speed gain in overclocking I don't seen anything mind blowing and I don't feel like writing a script to keep it working
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Overclocking is kind of a love it or hate it thing with these devices. While I do see a difference and see where it could be helpful to some people, I'm doing fine without it. I think the most resource intensive app on my TP2 is Opera and a couple of games. You mostly get a nice boost when switching tabs. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Monfro:
Even the GSM Raphael, that is older but with very similar specs, has about 100mb of free ram on startup.

The main differences between these 2 devices are resolution (WVGA and VGA) and the physical dimension of the screen.

I have bought a Rhodium (still waiting for it to come...day by day)...and reading all of this about its ram management killed me :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buffalosolja42:
I had the Raphael and you know I didn't have the both at the same time I bet it would be a good comparison of speed and free ram, since the screen and missing flash, are the two major things that seperate them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I don't think that NRG has owned a TP2 for some time now. He has an HD2. Certainly a couple of times recently, he's asked to borrow a Rhodium for testing (it wasn't just a Tilt 2 variant that he wanted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You're running a CHT ROM, right ? You haven't given any details of your ROM>

Go into the CHT editor, then "Appoinments and Tasks", and check how many days ahead it's set to look for appointments (default is 7). You can also set "Enable list scrolling if you want". But you need to go and edit the home layout if you want it to always show more than 1 appointment on the screen - you can drag down calendar tab to make it bigger, to show appointments. I have three appointments permanently shown on my home tab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] palah:
same as your settings .... today went to use internet through Opera and not enough memory to launch (had a look and usage was in 90's) did a reset and back to 58, now sitting on 68 after 4 hours. like you think arkswitch is a bugbear (well it always seems to appear when it stuffs up) on 24... 23...roms but did not experience out of memory (using cleanRam)... will give a few days to settle - but may roll back a few builds as did have one that worked fine (note to self ... if rom using works fine ... keep it! :) )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] I burn water:
Make sure you have bluetooth on you F90bt up to date. I had it on mine when I had my f90bt and I it worked, I also upgrade the software to 3.x too. You can always check avic411.com, they may have some info there too.

Had to change this. I may be getting my AVIC and my kenwood confused. I bought a new truck and have the ford sync navi unit and i know it works there. I will look over next few nights and see if I can find my 12v power unit and hook it up to see. But if the 700 does it I think the F90 should since they are roughly the same unit.

It's beyond them, too.

They throw like girls. (I am a girl, so I should know) :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
That is him borrowing a GSM Rhodium. Verizon is CDMA with support for a GSM SIM for oversees travel.

The Verizon variety is CDMA, so these ROMs would not work on it, so in order to test them himself, he borrows.

Besides his working HD2, he also has a Fuze, an Omnia something, and a bricked HD2 (unless he threw that away or recycled it). I don't recall any tweets or posts from him saying that he was selling his TP2.

Would that really satisfy the addiction though?

I felt the same way aboout Sept 4th. Virtually perfect, aside from the RAM issues. Just flashed the Sept 7 version yesterday, half expecting a new ROM to be out in the next day or 2 (based on the current update frequency). Really not sure what I would want changed?

Biggest thing is the memory. I am thinking of giving the 21916 a try, to see how it handles memory. I like the start menu, so getting rid of it is not an option for me. With the hardware button as a start button, it is less important to have the on screen start button at the bottom. On the Fuze, the hardware key was a Home key, and it did not launch the Start Menu by default. Borrowing some code from ArkSwitch (which is freely available), it should be pretty easy to write a small app that puts a start menu in the lower left, if I really miss it.

I keep getting an error: "Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable for approximately 5 minutes. Please try again in 10 minutes."

Does anybody know how can I see Chinese characters in my Energy ROM on Rhodium? I try some but doesn't work for this ROM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
ok, thanks, that explains my confusion then - i.e. it was specifically a GSM Rhodium that he needed to borrow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buffalosolja42:
@JVH3 well I deleted the start menu and I am using quick menu again and the ram usage is hovering at about 70mb with clean ram every 3hrs (not enough info I know). But when I change the today to Iphone Today it goes to 114mb free wow! So disabling the start menu will hold the ram usage down for you, and I am using opera to look at tweets and such not surfing to much besides that, and I have exchange setup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Sense is a memory hog. I've never tried iPhone Today.

I think alot gets cached with the start menu, which consumes memory.

But, I am not seeing a real leak.

If I go to the start menu, intiially, it consumes some memory.

Then, I go back to the start menu, but no additional memory is connsumed.

HTC and Microsoft should both know that you should not cachec things forever. If I went to the twtitter tab once, but have not gone back in 2 days, the memory initially consumed should be released.

There is a leak somewhere else. Maybe mail processing or facebook updates. Not sure. But yesterday, I lost about 20 MB while my phone was inside and I was doing work outside.

But, if we had the memory of an HD2, it would not be an issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] I burn water:
cleanram 2.3

Looks like a new release of cleanram came out today 2.3. It fixes some of the freezing issues. Tried it at it seems to work with no problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Monfro:
21xxx builds, from my Fuze experience, eats 6-10mb ram less than 23xxx (and now 24xxx) builds.

Since a couple of months 21xxx series became fast as and faster than 23xxx builds!! Since then i came back to this series, after a lot of months with 6.5.x

Rhodium, as you said, has an hardware button to launch start menu, so the little-top-left soft button is not a problem.

For this reason i always remap Fuze's Home Key to launch Start Menu (with Tarkim's app).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
Thanks for the explanation! I have to admit I missed the bit about a CDMA Rhodium! :)

Yeah the updates have slowed down a little. I think NRGZ was toying with the idea of going back to 23127 for the next release. I guess we'll have to wait and see if he does...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] smiet:
I think it it is the mail processing, because everytime when I flashed a ROM I have a lot of free memory, but when I set up my mail accounts (Gmail Hotmail and a student mail, all receiving automatically) after every account my free memory drops. When I've set up all three mail accounts I've lost over 20 mb... I've notices that when I set up my Twitter tab it also drops, but just about 5-6 mb, so I don't think thats a big issue...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] chizzwhizz:
If you get rid of the start menu, almost all your memory issues will be gone. Not only with you start with more RAM but you will recover almost all RAM from each application you run and every sense tab loaded...I used to soft reset every day (sometimes twice) but without start menu I soft reset ever 4 or 5 days...and thats just because the phone starts to slow down (my free RAM is still around 60 mbs)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mgfjd:
Start menu? do you mean sense? if not how do I get rid of the start menu..

I guess this is the last frontier before we have a great rom in our phones.. Memory management
