Midi ringtones

Hi ahmedfikry, great job you've done here.

Installed your latest firmware on my AT&T tilt, so far so good, everything runs smooth except some MIDI ringtones i used to use when i had WM6.0 and WM6.1. With this ROM they don't wanna play at all as ringtones. If I select a midi file as ringtone, in preview won't play it, and if i'm called, the phone plays the default ringtone (WindowsPhone) instead of the MIDI file.

Any sugestions?

Thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
i dont use midi ringtones so i didnt know about that...i will test & see..maybe ill post later if i find a way

but meanwhile, you can convert midi to mp3 ..there are many software converters & you can even do it free on some websites,,,that way you can play your fav ringtones right now untill i find a way around that
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] TMWNN:
I've been using this rom afew weeks and im very happy with how quick my tytn II is to use now, much less sluggish than the default 6.1 rom.

My problem is with the supplied opera mini browser, it yahoo mail and facebook it seems to randomly swap words around in sentences making this really hard to read!, anyone else got this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] acrodex:
Thanks for checking that. It was a problem of the cab I downloaded. I re-downloaded it and now it works!

Strange Problems

I tried to recreate the before mentioned Problems but was only partialy able to do so. My Ringtones in this ROM are placed under

Application Data > Sounds

and once selected they stay. I use WAV, WMA, and MP3 Ringtones. I always use MP3 Audio Editor or Audacity (Freeware) to change Audio to any prefered Format.

Just to have tried it out I also selected a Midi Ringtone and sure enough I was able to select it but unable to play it and when returning to the Menü it changed itself back to the first Ringtone in the list.

Opera Mini did not jumble any Words for me no matter what I tried. Facebook, news.ch etc.

Never missed a Phone call with this Rom. But its not my primary Phone (HD2) so I might just have been lucky until now.

Just thought I give it a try to see if I can confirm your Conflicts and just because I could not recreate them it does not invalidate your claims. Hope you will find a solution.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
That is very generous of you Ahmed, to spend time researching our small issues. Of course a cook feels responsible for his 'dish' so to speak, so I understand the impulse. But I was more commenting just for the general discussion, in hopes that other users might share enough information that together we might discover, most likely, what things we have done in error to generate such problems. It seems enough people are using your ROMs without such problems that the issues we've brought in are not so likely to be your fault, but rather elements we have brought to these particular ROMs in terms of non-compatible tweaks and the like. Things which might have worked with other ROM versions or on other devices, but not here.

Thank you for pointing out the location you prefer for sound files to be used by system and PIM alerts. This simplifies things. I've moved my favourite sound files there and hope to see improvement in sound reliability.

As for the phone not notifying me of all calls... it could be there is a glitch in SPB Phone Suite with the firewall element. It is very handy, but perhaps I should try the firewall software you include in the UC folder and compare how they work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
Why on earth would you want to use MIDI files if you have such a beautiful device as the HTC Tytn II, which can easily play real music (files)? Besides that, like ahmedfikry already said, you can easily convert MIDI files to any other music filetype.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
Copy your ringtone into the Windows folder. Then, you can select this ringtone within the "Sounds & Notifications". Works for me.

Try a different radio ROM. The default radio ROM might cause the problems you have.

Can't help you with this one. I had this issue on several ROMs, too. I do not have this issue with ahmedfikry's ROM, though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
True enough, I haven't seen the backlight timeout reversion issue with AhmedFikry's work, only with some other ROMs on this and other devices.

I tried the WMA files I wanted in \Windows, but that yielded the same problem as described. The \Application Data\Sounds folder seems the way to go, so testing that now.

This Kaiser didn't have the stock radio in it when I bought it a couple of weeks ago, as the previous owner is a member here as well and had tried a few ROM versions, though not since about a year ago. Currently the radio I use is the same one AhmedFikry uses, as it seemed wise to use the same recipe the cook uses on his own phone (even though it's not his main phone for personal use).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
yes..i include the backlight fix in cooking my roms

23542 is out & will cook it tonight :) after wrok

i will attempt cooking with a new groups of native drivers & NK again but i may just release the regular drivers as V1 so you guys can have it sooner

Hi ahmedfikry,

I cannot wait to flash your new ROM.

Is possible to cook one with 3G dialer? Or if possible to provide a cab for it?

Thanks for your great work
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thesecondsfade:
Hey ahmed, could you cook a 28XXX (like 28232) version of your ROM? I use iDialer's Google Voice Callback feature and with the PIE included in the 23XXX series, it doesn't work. I don't mind not having threaded emails (It's not really "threaded" anyway since it only shows one side of the conversation). Thanks man.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
As suggested last night, I tried having my Ring-Oldphone.wma file in \Application Data\Sounds. This morning I received the first call of the day, and while the phone woke up, it rang with the default Windows tune. Made me a bit angry. Then I tried sliding (I'm using the 'TCP Mega_Dialer_New_Builds.CAB' since yesterday, after using the default phone skin for a day and not much liking it for functionality and responsiveness) to answer the call on the second ring, and the client on the other end did not perceive my answering. I got a blank line. Normally I get 5 rings... but I'm guessing that there is some weird delay in ringtone with the default sound being activated. He called again in a minute, and by that time I had switched, again, back to my favoured phone sound, and that worked. I was able to answer the phone after two rings without problems.

So I guess I will make copies next, putting Ring-Oldphone in all 4 locations (WHAT THE HECK IS MICROSOFT THINKING?!) and see if that makes it 'stick.' These places now all have copies. Wish me luck.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
The preferrable radio ROM also depends on the region you live in, which telephone provider you're using, etc. For instance, I use the 1.71.09.01 Neon radio ROM, because it works best for me (I tried several). For Kaiser radio ROMs can take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=393182.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
Thanks again. I'll have another look at available radio versions for the Kaiser and try to sort out whether another version might suit my Vancouver/Rogers location and contract. That radio version you use is the same one our gracious cook uses, 1.71.09.01, as listed in his signature. It's also the one I've been using with his ROMs.

Clock always shows on the top right

I can't figure out how to make the clock not show in all the programs, in X-Pro which is a voip program, while configuring the sip settings, the OK button doesn't show because the clock is taking up the place.

Is there a way to make the clock not show in all the programs. In several other ROMS which I have tried, usually this option is there.

Secondly the HTC task manager is hidden because of the clock but this is not a major problem as I have started using ArkSwitch.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] 3nigm4:
In WM 6.5.x, OK button is in the lower right corner, and the taskmanager you are talking about is the one that comes from HTC tha is NOT included in this ROM, and you can install the one you prefer.. such ArkSwitch you are using.

If you get a program that place buttons on top of the screen, it may be not compatible with WM 6.5.x, and you have to wait for an update from that program... (EDIT: or go back to WM 6.5/6.1)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
On the minor side-track subject of radio compatibility... I tried one which apparently works for a number of Kaiser users - KAIS_Radio_Only_1.27.15.32_CustomRUU - but it doesn't work for me with ahmedfikry's 23541 ROM, not at all. The device sort of works with that radio, but very slowly, often taking 5 seconds or more to respond to screen input then suddenly responding, then not, again and again. And the camera app opens, but there's no image. And no audio output either. Got a call, couldn't hear the other party at all. So that radio and this ROM are non-compatible and I'm back to using KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1.71.09.01 again, where audio mostly works, the camera works fine so long as I use the HTC camera quality patch, and the screen generally responds very well. GPS is crap, not getting within a kilometre of my locations, but I don't really need that anyway. Oddly, GPS sort of worked a couple of ROMs ago. Maybe just a personal glitch there.

do you have any third party task manager applications installed?

did you have WiFi ON before it went to sleep?

I did not have a single SOD since i flashed, trying to see why some users get it & some don't...i suspect that it is due to other software
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] boufa:
I did have the task manager that you have packaged installed. I also did have the WiFi off, though it had been on earlier in the evening. It was a fairly fresh install. I had installed the 42 ROM about 2 hours before bed. Added some of my programs (opera, etc) but not too many. In the past I have had it do it to me on a completely clean rom.

I did link my email to an exchange server... maybe that is it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] boufa:
I am going to flash it again... then change to the same radio you have in your sig. I am going to set up my exchange server and then that is all. I will leave it for a few days and see if it happens.

ROM with new kernel and OEM Drivers

Dear ahmedfikry

For two days i tested Burtcom's esperOS 23518 cooked with new native 6.5 kernal and OEM Drivers. I noticed remarkable file copying speed increase (Mem Card to Mem Card), as this issued annoyed me pretty much previously when i used other 6.5 cooked ROMs, also some great one. Now again today i have flashed your released V5, which, while copying the same file, behaved a little slow.

So what say... i feel that a lot of kaiser users want the 6.5 ROMs now to be cooked with new native 6.5 kernal and OEM Drivers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
OK

i will work on including the new 6.5 native drivers & OEM ... & i will include GPRS settings too

These will be in my coming V6
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] daigoro64:

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

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] yanbingyu:
flashed the rom for one day, working great so far. but i could not find the quickgps tool, is it not included? would you consider add it in?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Vytelo:
You should include QuickGPS, because it's necessary for most of Kaiser users.

I've set up GPRS settings manually, so It's working for me.

Still, this ROM is one of the best, so I'll wait for a newer version.

Good Quick GPS Alternative

Try this instead:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2296622&postcount=104

jjblaster uses this in his ROM instead of Quick GPS. I use Navigon on my Tilt all the time and I always get a super fast lock. Also, Quick Position doesn't nag you when the data expires (which can be annoying).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thesecondsfade:
I could not open up Outlook after flashing this ROM. It did not do anything when tapping tmail.exe. Anyone else have that problem?

Everything else seemed okay.

Is there any way you could add alternate themes (like the amarullzBlackBlack theme included in JJBlaster's ROMs)? I'm not a big fan of the "Classic Blue".

Another request, the 4 icons-wide Start Menu. It's too hard to navigate through the Start Menu when it's only 3 icons wide. There are threads about how to do it out there. I think it's pretty simple... maybe even just a CAB install that modifies some registry keys.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
look at first post for fixed Quick GPS cab file

I will try to keep the roms "light"...so when i release the next one, i will modify the UC zip file to include this cab for the users who like it

I think task managers (mostly Arkswitch but sometimes AMeBa too) are the reason for SOD

some users also report SOD with WiFi ON followed by screen going to sleep

I suggest that you do not install ANY task managers for now

this rom leak was from a direct rom dump & i am sure it is not the reason for SOD ..has to be some application causing conflict

i will update my XDA_UC zip file soon when i test & find one that does not cause this freezing isuue
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] boufa:
I had a SOD immediately after my first phone call, 10 minutes after I flashed. I am not going to count that one since there are a lot of things that could have caused it.

What ROM do you use as you "clean" ROM. The one that you use prior to flashing one of your roms. I want to follow every step as close as I can to what you know works, then see what happens.

Has anyone had any luck using or not using s2u2? Could that be what is hanging it up?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cypherstream:
I put your 23542 build on today along with your XDA_UC file.

Upon starting up I always get some nag dialog box which states:

api.dll

There is no application associated with "api". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.

Where is that coming from?

I removed everything from \Windows\StartUp except for:

Autodataconfig

Palringo

poutlook

The Palringo has a windows icon (like a file it doesn't know what type it is), while the other two have application look icons.

I removed some other stuff like the Ark task manager from reading a few threads here concerning task managers causing problems with the phone not waking up. There was also some mortscript or something that caused another PITA nag screen at startup. I have no idea what it does but I removed it and there are no ill effects from it.

EDIT: It was that Palringo file in the startup. I have no idea what Palringo is or does, but I can't see anything wrong removing it.

I have updated to 23542 two days ago and i experienced SOD a couple of times. Mostly when i leave the wifi on.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aggelosp:
I'm not sure guys what do you mean by "SOD", but I wonder if it's the freezing problem I've been having since yesterday (after 6 days with absolutely NO problems).

I have ahmedfikry's ROM + Google maps & Skype (both installed since day 1) and the problem I'm having is the following:

- The mobile phone is VERY slow since yesterday, opening programs takes almost a minute and sometimes hangs and have to reboot it

- Since yesterday, it sometimes show some black vertical bar at the right side of the screen (it's not hardware related I believe, just some hanged program)

I tried soft reseting and taking off the battery and re-placing it, it temporarily helps but soon or later it does it again.

I'm seriously thinking of re-formatting the phone. Is there any really stable release that I can try or do you suggest to stick with Ahmedfikry's? I wonder if I should even go back to WM6.1 as the phone is mostly for business use and hanging will cause me trouble.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kmrmania:
SOD means Sleep of Death i think... basically is when the phone enters sleep mode and doesnt wanna come back to life. at this state the phone doesnt receive calls. you are only left with a soft reset to work again.

Edit: Just experienced another SOD while the wifi is OFF.
