Twitter posts

All,

There seems to be a MAJOR misunderstanding about two tweets I put out early this morning. Sergio and I had a conversation late last night while the ROMs were uploading about how much people would 'pay' for his work. So, I decided to ask that very question on Twitter. I asked;

1. Russ741:Question for all of you: Why do your or don't you donate to Sergio or I? Hit me back on DM. I am interested in point of view not "I'm broke"

2. Russ741

:

Another opinion question for you: If Sergio charged 50 Cents (USD) to download his ROMs would you still download? What if it was $5 (USD)?

While I realize that these tweets look like thinly shrouded guilt trips for donations. They were/are in fact honest questions. What motivate you the user to send a donation? Is it something you like in the ROM, something really new, pretty artwork? What? and conversely why don't some of you donate? The most universal response was; 'cause I'm cheap' or some variation.

The second question was designed to see just how much YOU thought his work is worth to you. And to those of you that made mention of the legalities of charging for downloads, perhaps you should simply RTFQ rather than trying to read my mind. We have no intention of charging for the ROMs I just wanted to know what you thought they were worth.

All this got very interesting when out of the blue Sergio sends me an IM saying his computer has 'burned up' and asking me to post requests for donations. So, now I look a bit foolish because my questions now seem all to close to reality. This was NOT a planned event, no matter how much it may seem so.

Finally a couple thoughts;

1. Do I think everyone who downloads the ROMs, tries them out and likes them should donate? Yes, I bloody well do. Would it really break your budget to send Sergio a fiver? Seriously? I say this with apologies to the kind gentlemen who want do donate but cannot due to government imposed restrictions and fees. We did some rough math and figure that Sergio has over 200 hours in the V9.x ROMS. Total donations before today? $15 USD since V8 released. Yes, he does it for fun not for money.

2. If you (the users) think that I am somehow showing favoritism to some users and not responding to the needs of all. This is the other side of the coin, since I am not Paid to do this, I get to choose who I will respond too. If you don't like that, go use another ROM and see how much support you get. My team and I bust a*s to make sure you get the best support on XDA. We get a lot of thank yous and what I really appreciate are the truly loyal Cell ROM fans that step in when my team and I cannot to support the rank and file members. And those that defend our stalwart position of Quality over quantity. One thing you should all fully understand. Sergio does not release the ROMs. I do. He cooks them, posts them to our private beta page and we provide him feedback, things get fixed and when I am satisfied and my team agrees then we release to you.

Ok... let the flaming begin...

Im kindof a noob, I flashed my ATT Tilt 2 with the Leo Cell Evo V9 (23562), and the Radio 4.49.25.91, everything seems good except the messaging is really (frustratingly) slow, and the battery drains quickly (1% per call minute).

Which version of this rom should I flash to have these two things corrected?

Im thinking I need Leo_Cell_Evo_V9.1_(23562)_NO_CHT_NO_HTC_SMS_CLIENT.rar

or

Leo_Cell_Evo_V9.1_(23562)_LITE.rar

After I reflash do I need to reflash the radio?

Please someone help cus I would like to reflash this before my trip in about 12 hours from now. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
Welcome young Jedi...

You need do neither.

1. Your battery and phone are now 'out of sync' you must train your battery and phone to work together again. This will take several (2-3) discharge/charge cycles. Let the battery drain down till the voice command starts crying in pain, then charge overnight and do that again two more times. Your battery will be fine. I get better battery life on EVO 9.1 than I ever did on stock.

2. Did you use Task 29 before you flashed and equally important did you hard reset immediately after flash? You should do both these things for optimal performance.

3. How many SMS (text) messages do you store on the phone? The more you store the slower the client will get since it has to index and combine all those messages into one file per conversation. If you have more than about 150 SMS messages, then you have a couple choices.

3.1 Delete as many as you can

3.2 After flash and hard reset, complete setting up your phone then open the SMS client, tap all messages. Plug the phone in and walk away for a couple hours while it gets all the files built. It will help but you will still see lag due to the size of the files it has to work with.

Hope this helps

Carrier, ROM? Need some more info..

>>Edit<< sorry I see the ROM... need to know which carrier and radio..

Russ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
Hey I like that, mind if I use it sometime?;)

Russ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayr415:
sorry for the lack of info but i'm using the recommended radio for the rom on tmobile network
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cranbone:
We shall see
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
So you are using the radio in my sig? 4.49.25.91? on TMo and your network is dropping out while on calls? Is that correct?

Did you follow the procedure I outlined? task29, flash rom, hard reset, run auto config and carrier config, soft reset?

Have you loaded anything else?

The more information you give us the easier it will be to help you.

Russ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayr415:
yes that is correct.. sorry for short responses.. responding on phone while at work lol.. anyways since i didnt want htc messaging i loaded ...

cookies 1.7 with editor for it

tmobile keyboard fix

freecell game

klaxon alarm

sorry edit.. yes i did follow that order t29 .. flash.. hard reset.. auto network config.. and soft reset
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
I think I just found your issue.... if you are running encrypted exchange email, that is an exchange account the requires a PIN to access it AND load cookies as a CAB it will cause issues with exchange and the network. This is posted on Co0kies thread. I recommend you flash EVO or PRO V9.1 full and try that. This issue I am referring to is not present in cooked version of CHT only CAB loaded ones. Also, the tmobile keyboard fix is included in the carrier config wizard provided by our friend TPC, so you don't need to load it again.

Try this and let me know

Russ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Craig87:
Russ,

If we even thought that you guys did this for profit, we would not hate you, we would think that you were nutcakes!

We appreciate the time and efforts that you guys put forth. Hell, I get flack from my wife all the time for simply spending all the time flashing and reflashing my phone when new ROMs come out. I can't even begin to imagine the stress that you guys go through not only reflashing even more than us average users, but having to find more time to provide feedback on them as well.

Any donations are considered donations as such, period. It is still my opinion that everyone who can possibly pump out some cash NOW to Sergio or Russ should do so. Think what it would be like if they hadn't teamed up and do the work that we now enjoy.:eek:

Keep the faith, keep up the good work. Let's help the Serg unit get back up....show your $$ support, even if tiny....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kenichi:
Russ,

I don't mind donating to you and your team :) Actually I wouldn't mind paying a small amount for each download. Sergio, your team, and you work really hard and I appreciate your hard work. Every single time you guys release a ROM, yeah there might a minor issue but its not big deal because its such a great experience. I surely will donate to your work soon enough.

I agree with your quote about your not paid to do this and you don't HAVE to respond to all replies. It is truly your choice.

Kenichi.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] token2k6:
I'm assuming the auto-config is the first thing that pops up when your phone initializes? so really not much to do there except hit t-mobile and next..but where is carrier config located? I must be overlooking it.

Also, just to be clear, after we flash Task29, we are not supposed to flash a radio, then the rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sambo60:
Was that $15 my donation? I donated because I appreciate the work that is put in, even though I haven't upgraded in a very long time. I'm still using Cell Pro V8 or 9 I believe. I have asked for help on backup/restore but I never get any response. I always try to post respectfully, so I don't think that's the issue. I would like to upgrade, but I don't want to do it until I am sure that everything will continue to work as well as it does now, and I also want the backup and restore process to be as painless as possible. Anyway, the summer is coming, and I will then have time to tweak more. Keep up the great work guys :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayr415:
Well for T29, theres an option to have it install the radio of your choice when using it. I personally have it set as the radio recommended for this ROM, so right after I just flash the ROM.

And as for the issue with the network disconnecting, I probably might just stick with the slight inconvenience than to deal with HTC Messaging, unless of course theres a way to safely remove it without destroying the rom. I recall that serg once tried to create a cab to help remove or disable the HTC messaging, but ended up doing more harm. >.< Thanks for the help though ^^

And as for my data dropping during calls, it doesnt instantly drop when calls are connected.. rather, it only drops the moment I try to use it. Such as open up opera or something, then the 3G or H sign (The black one or whatever color next to the green network sign) drops back down to G, when I open up Comm. Manager, my data connection is still on. The moment the call ends, it jumps back up to edge, 3g, H etc. >.<

After a really hectic day, having to pick up a sick kid from school, take my other kid to a e.c class, I am finally home and back-reading...

First I have to ask...who the hell pissed in your cheerios?? 2 posts, both negatively toned. Forgive me if I am mis-interpreting the tone. I have had a long day and am pretty fried, so it could be me being sensitive.

As a member of the Cell team I'd like to point out that most of us who are on xda do have other lives. I was asked to join because my perspective is a non-techie one. I am a busy mom who relies heavily on my phone to keep my life organized. I have found "bugs" as a fluke. I cannot help much in the techie arena, but I am willing to see if I can duplicate it and pass it on to the rest of the team...which I have done in the past with other issues. If you don't get a response, it may be because we don't have one to give, or we ourselves, have been too busy with our "real" lives and are just unable to get on xda. Before discovering Cell, I tried other kitchens...the support is nothing like what Cell provided, and that is why I was honored to be asked to join the team. Sergio, Russ, and the rest of us try to answer questions, but being cranky won't get much from anyone...as I tell my kids on a regular basis...

...you can attract more bees with honey!!

I am on TmoUS...I use the radio rom listed in my siggy and it works great. Task 29 does not wipe the radio rom, only the OS, so you do not need to flash the radio rom after running T29.

The carrier config is a pop-up that says T-mobile and maybe one or 2 other carriers...this is after the autoconfig does its business. Just tap the bubble for your carrier and let it run. Once all of that is done, give it a soft boot and you should be good to go.

**Sorry to hear about Sergio's computer problems. He's been working so much to get us these great roms, his poor computer probably decided it needed a vacation!! I hope he gets it fixed or replaced soon.**
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] akashastrega:
I K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

I am NOT a techie, so for me I like to KISS...I use PIM to backup my appt's and such, and have all my cabs ready in an "Autoinstall" folder on my sd. As a beta tester, it has made flashing from rom to rom pretty painless!! I don't even bother to back up anything other than with PIM...

now if you need to save a game score or some file configuration, I must respectfully pass it on to someone with more knowledge that I have.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] token2k6:
sweet, thanks for the clarification ash! one more quick question, since you're on TMO..you may have seen I went a little crazy today asking twice about MMS pic size..at first I was sending 650kb files, only getting 7kb back. I used several cabs to change the settings, none worked. Finally made it into the settings on the phone (MMS) have size set to 'Original' then under the T-Mobile specific, I have the size specified to 1024kb. So, I think great! I may finally have it, but all tests yield me getting back 92kb files or so..while a lot better than 7kb, if I send 650kb, I think I should get 650kb back!! anyways, just wondering what your 2 cents was b/c you obviously (may) have to deal with this..thanks in advance :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] akashastrega:
Yeah, that issue has been pissing me off. I have NO CLUE how to fix it, and the various cabs I have tried aren't doing the trick...wish I could help you and me...especially since the other night a number I did not recognize sent me a pic at 3AM...I couldn't see the pic clearly enough to know who the douche-tard was that woke me up by sending the damn pic at such an ungodly hour!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DADDYDC650:
Use the T-Mobile settings cab that Deep Shining provides in his thread. It covers both the MMS size + settings so you won't need the MMS size cab he also provides. Make sure to apply the cab after a fresh install. MMS is working perfect on my end.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayr415:
BINGO...

Found the problem to my data dropping during calls when I try to use it. Its there, but when I try to use it, it drops back down to G.

I go to start, settings, connections, connections again.. I clicked manage existing connections, Tmobile Data is listed there, and I go to proxy settings, This network connects to the Internet is checked.. So I figured everything seems correct...

Now the problem lies here.. Going to advanced, Select networks, Tmobile Data, Edit... For some odd reason, under Proxy Settings, "This network connects to the Internet" wasn't checked.. I checked it.. Ok'd everything called my Cell phone with my house phone, Fired up Opera... And everything was working...

So if anyone else have their data dropped during calls, try to see if this was your problem.. I'm under TmoUS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] akashastrega:
Are you using Evo or Pro?? And thanks for the tip. I haven't had that issue...but then I don't usually get online while I'm on a call...I usually too busy driving, screaming at my kids to stop killing each other, cussing out stupid drivers, and trying to have my coffee. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayr415:
Sorry.. I'm using the Leo Cell Pro 9.1 with the recommended Radio on TMoUS

OH ALSO for people with a MMS Picture size problem...

Those using without HTC Messaging so using Arcsoft for MMS.. Go to reg edit

For User-Agent "Rhodium-1.0/arcsoft-mmsua-5.0.0.xx"

and for x-wap-profile "http://www.htcmss.com.tw/gen/Rhodium-1.0.xml

for those using HTC Messaging ... Go to reg edit

.. I cant confirm if it'll work for HTC Messaging, but worth the try.. I use without HTC Messaging and I actually changed both of them since both of those registry entries were there..

Although the pictures I send to myself are 888k and the ones I receive are only 178k or so of the same pic, when I download the picture on to my phone it comes out as full screen.. The size maybe smaller but atleast I was able to view the picture as full size.. Not sure if this will help anyone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] akashastrega:
I'll check the thread tomorrow and answer what I can

Well guys, it's pushing 22:00 and my mornings start way too early, so I'm gonna hit the hay...

Goodnight...

(or good morning if you are in a diff part of the world)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayr415:
By the way.. Is anyone else having a problem with time sync? Under TmoUS, when I'm texting, the text I receive would be lets say 12:14am, I reply to it, but it ends up saying I replied at 12:13am because thats the time on my phone.. This gets pretty annoying because in the threading, my text goes before the text I responded to. Is there a way to fix the time sync?

And yes I do have it to automatic update timezones etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] diceman725:
Everytime I restart my phone the city I've selected for time zone/weather always defaults back to "My Location". Anyone else have this problem?

Paying for Coffee

Just to chime in I really see little reason why someone like Sergio could not charge $2,$5, maybe $10 for one of his ROMS, but that said, I think this only because by and large his ROMs are nowhere near as buggy as most of his peer group. If I were to pay for a ROM I would not be at all happy to have my calls drop for no reason, or this or that app not to work. In fact I will gladly send in a fin this payday, but there is another point. Should I buy a new pc game (the only thing I could think of where companies routinely send out product that is buggy) it is rare that I know anyone involved by name, nor care. There is more than a little bit of ego involved with most of the prolific ROM chefs found on this site. So sure, set up a site where it is easy to find out what the product offers, provide support without the attitude that is frequently seen here, and I would gladly pay. In fact, I would even pay a monthly flat rate to dl new ROMS as long as there was some guarantee as to how many new Roms would come out on a weekly basis. Hell, the whole lot of you chef's that take the time and consideration to put out a superior product could get together and do exactly that. $10 per month let's say and you could DL the offerings of Sergio, NRGZ28, aruppenthal, and eras2r. I would buy, at least as long as something interesting was offered. Hell, you'd think AT&T, T-Mobile and others would get a clue, but fat chance. So hey why not, and yeah you'll get your fiver come payday Sergio and if you keep it up it shouldn't be the last I cough up.

Thanks for everything

music tab is messed up. in the ALL SONGS tab, songs show up, but when i move to ARTIST TAB, ALBUMS TAB, ETC., its empty. The only thing that shows up is the ALL SONGS TAB.

Music is in my memory card. Anyone else have this problem

Youtube app also doesn't work. getting the same error "Connection failed" and "this video cannot be played" :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sblindheim:
Good morning Dear :)

That has something to do with the timestamp on your phone differs from the timestamp on the carriernetwork. Can't remember where(and can't search right now), but I have seen a fix out here somewhere.. Try to search this thread first, the the Rhodium section, then the entire forum, and last the wiki.

I use my location to get my city. go to weather, menu, settings, enable my location, press I agree. update weather. (be sure to turn of autoupdate if you don't have a dataplan.) Hopefully that does the trick.

:mad:

My solution for data during a call was short lived.. Although I do manage to load a page for a few moments for the beginning bit of a call, after awhile.. it drops back down to G. Anyone have any ideas? >.<

I'm guessing.. once you hit edge, you drop down to G and for as long as you're in call, you wont get back the 3G signal... So if I remain in 3g/H area, and not drop down to edge it wont disconnect on me yet.. I was wondering if there was a way for it to reconnect to 3G after I get back into coverage..

Or that may not even be the problem at all but I don't know >.< .. NVM after some research, this is a common Tmobile Problem =x

Hmmm... Solution #2...

Although it doesn't seem to make sense what so ever, I edited my Band...

Instead of having it set on Auto for GSM or WCDMA .. I chose WCDMA.. (Yes I'm aware Tmobile = GSM) But heeey.. I was walking around my house (which shouldn't have 3g signal for certain areas) but anywaysss... It remained as H/3G throughout the entire call.. (Some points having even no bars what so ever) But I was still connected on the phone and surfing

I believe with only WCDMA chosen, it would never drop down to the EDGE network and remain as 3G / H (Even at no to little bars) than to drop down to EDGE at full bar, etc.

This is all observational.. Not too sure til more testing. But I do receive calls fine at 1 bar of 3G.. so I guess I'll stick with this settings to be able to surf and talk, without having to worry about the data dropping to GPRS during the call and not being able to get back 3G / H service.. Although I'm not sure how much this will affect call quality, ability to send and receive calls, etc..
