Hi guys, just testing v2.2 and putting some finishing polish on it.

2.2 now has :-

- FingerKB fully integrated (all images and skin assets stored in ROM. not easy to do, but very fast now it's done)

- RealVGA, with fingerkb working in all DPIs (thanks for the headsup phezthie)

- TCPMP updated to bimbam69's version (Sorry kralikba and anyone else using AVRCP)

- SRS Wow HD (disabled by default)

@kralikba - I just realised - if you use "OK" button to go back to today screen, then the short/long press on hangup key is not an issue. I think this approach is better than messing with the scary OEM_Misc.DLL file which is a bit mysterious and difficult to predict.

[edit] - Version 2.2 is now uploaded in the 1st post. Have fun.

Hi,

I cant find any Wifi controls on comm manager or wifi settings.

Hi..

thanks for the great rom but i have an issue with pBar...it refuses to run in startup.... can i do something about it?...

Great ROM but .....Can I add Russian to keyboard? I need it very much. Simply install another keyboard wont help -I cant make it default.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] phezthie:
IMHO, fixing the fingerkb config issues will make this ROM unbeatable. it runs/responds like the uni shipped rom version due to considerable free ram :):):)

wifi working great. i used the spb ms widget to activate/control it. :D:D cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] responderman:
Hi there

Could you explain more on the widget you used to control wifi please?

Jay
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] thingonaspring:
Hmmm, 2 people with wifi wireless manager problems. Odd.

I'm running it on 2 G4's (64 and 128) without that issue.

Can you confirm if your devices are G3 or G4? That might be part of the problem.

I'm certain I can get fkbconfig running a bit - not all options will work mind, certainly switching skins probably won't, due to the hack I used to get it all running from ROM.

Changing the default skin to another (like russian) can be done, but it will take a little effort. I'll make a quick guide and post it up later.

The best way is to create a custom ROM using the kitchen, but it should also be possible to patch a running ROM.

Very good ROM, my compliments to you. All software runs without problems and still 30 MB of free RAM, impressive! It feels not as 'snappy' as Tomal's 8.5 ROM, it's mostly the graphics that are slower in your ROM (building the screen, scrolling is slower). But I can live with that, I love the extra 4 MB free RAM (Tomal's has 26 MB free RAM in my situation).

One tiny thing though: I was used to the Fn-right arrow to start the communication manager, but this does not work. Can this be fixed with some registry key or something?

Hi !

After flashing your rom it tells me "device will be customized in 3 seconds" and then i receive the error "custsk.exe cannot be found".

What am I doing wrong ?

Please help.

Many thanks and best regards,

P.S.: And pleeeeeeeease kindly include the other languages in the finger keyboard as i need the german layout.

There's something in the extended rom of your device, and it's trying to install on 1st boot, but failing.

Use this guide http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader

to fully format your device.

This procedure wipes your entire device - rom, storage, and extended rom - so be carefull.

Once it's formatted, put it back into bootloader (step 4 on the wiki page above) and reflash the rom.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] thingonaspring:
Tomal's doing it the sensible way I suspect - copying the KB skin files to device storage, but this is not the most efficient way.

The trick with this ROM's fingerkb support was forcing all skin files to load from ROM, saving a ton of resources.

FingerKB expects skin definition files to be in "installed_dir\skins", and skin graphics files to be in "installed_dir\skins\skin_name". With this layout, the files cannot come from ROM (all ROM files exist in a flat directory structure in "\windows").

The way round this is to hexedit fingerKB's main DLL, removing references to "skins\" or replacing them with null unicode strings, then edit the main skin definition file and rename it's GFX directory to "." (current directory).

With this layout the "installed_dir" is "\windows", the skins directory is never referenced and the GFX directory is ".", so the most complicated path we end up addressing is for GFX files at "\windows\.\" - which is the same thing as "\windows" - hey presto - flat directory structure, everything loads from ROM.

The config app however doesn't respond to the hexediting treatment - it either shows a null list of skins (must be looking in the wrong place) or crashes while checking the paths of files it's enumerating (possibly being upset at something unexpected in the "\windows" directory).

Like I said it wasn't straightforward to get this running from ROM, but having got the main KB DLL working, I figured the config app should be a breeze. As it turns out, it seems the DLL was written for efficiency (very little sanity checking in the code, allowing us to hack away happily), whereas the config app is written with a bit more rigour, making it harder to hack.

[edit] think I found the problem - fingerkbconfig is written in .Net, which has better error checking and most importantly stores unicode strings in a slightly weird way.

I've now got the config app running fine, along with multilang support from a different Giannis86 skin, which I've optimised to 8bit gfx to save resources.

Just some more tweaks and it'll be ready for upload. Sorry but this will need a reflash as most of fingerkb has been changed/updated for this build.

@kralikba - I have AE Buttonplus working in this build too - tested with backlight key launching pdf/calc/camera on 1/2/3 presses. Short/long hangup press still doesn't work as you described, but using OK button instead of short hangup gets round the problem.

[edit] OK, v2.21 is uploaded with full proper multilang fingerkb and a fix allowing for AEButonplus. Enjoy!

banking application

At first - this is the ROM I was waiting for a long time. Thanks a lot.

Two wishes:

- the SIM toolkit (mainly used for banking applications) is missing, can this be installed separately?

- Fn+right arrow does not launch the comm manager, can this be fixed?

Suggestions:

Add WkTask manager

Thanks :)

Hats off

Gr8 rom...

flashed last week...

only issue found is with the SD settings. Sometimes my SDHC card malfunctions showing only folders but not files. Ofcourse removing and reinserting the card solves the problem for time being. But it would be problem if I install some important applications on the sdhc card... ya, the problem is common with that patch and I experienced the problem in various other roms as well which use the same patch...

Apart from that the rom is flawless (for my usage)

Thanks to thingonaspring..

Actually I'm using the previous version...

can anyone suggest me if I should change for 2.2?

Yes, I did not understand the changes in 2.2 and their use.

Sorry for my ignorance. I'm new to this place..:D

STK service fixed

Found a solution for not working Sim Toolkit, as the required dll and exe is present:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Stk_service]

"Flags"=dword:00000000

"InitDelay"=dword:00004E20

After adding those two entries and softreset STK service is working. Probably the first entry is the important one. Now the Fn+rigt arrow for comm manager and I am happy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] thingonaspring:
@naveensakhamuri

Odd - STK is working for me on vodafone uk.

I'll add that patch to the ROM anyway as there will be other people with the same problem I'm sure.

Can you post a link to a ROM that does have FN+Right arrow launch comm manager? I'll then be able to see what bit of the ROM does this, and whether it'll play nice with the rest of this ROM.

[edit] - found one. The comm manager key requires a whole service (wireless manager service) to run at all times - which is a terrible waste of Ram. I'll look for another way.

@responderman

activesync - I've no idea how to stop it launching by default, so if anyone knows a way to force this in the registry, let me know.

Meanwhile there's a manual workaround. Go into activesync app, click "Add server source", with these details :-

email : z@z.z

Autodetect : no

Server :127.0.0.1

SSL : no

User : z

Pass : z

Domain : z

Save : Yes

Contacts : no

Calendar : no

Email : no

Tasks : no

Now you'll be back in activesync app. Select "schedule" and set both options to "manually".

Activesync will now not launch on boot unless you're connected over USB cable.

It's a pain in the backside, and I'd love to know how to disable this by default - so as I said if anyone finds a proper way to do this, let me know.

Can I use default messaging style/theme?

First of all congratulation for this great effort.

I am using this ROM from a week and having no issue, good battery timings and memory. I have just an issue facing with messaging look and feel. You have integrated some kind of messaging software which shows messages of a contact in a list. I am not able to forward that specific message to some other person. In simple words it is very disturbing for me. Is there any way to get back the default messaging style.

Thanks.

add'l apps installed, viz.

ezmoney1

adv. config tool

magicall

oxios hybernate

cleanram

plus, im using spbms 3.5 (a really RAM hungry one) that's the reason why i prefer and been looking for a super lightweight ROM without unnecessary apps pre-installed. of course, fngrkb is a must for me. likewise pimbackup, adv. config tool to set the call logs to max and netcf for ezmoney compatibility.

TCPMP

I am experiencing strange behavior of TCPMP. Description:

Playing xvid 640x368 1,0 Mbit/s, not converted, benchmark shows 129%, that means UNI has enough power to play this (29% reserve) Overclocking is disabled.

- when playing with USB charger everything is smooth

- when playing on battery, the playback is not smooth, it slows down little bit every half second. Very well visible when some object moves at constant speed (titles at end of movie are good indicator). Benchmark is still same.

I was not experiencing this with other (Tomal) ROM's, enabling overclocking does not help, even benchmark stays same.

Is there any special power saving feature which is causing this? Does overclocking work?

@naveensakhamuri

Hello, can you tell me which driver you're using in the SD Settings app?

Also, have you found any roms that play well with your SD card? If so, I can find the working driver in that ROM and come up with a solution.

@Insert_Coin

There's a bit of a trade-off with autohibernate where you gain available memory, but at the cost of intermittent bursts of CPU activity while everything gets hibernated. I'd probably leave it out of the ROM for that reason and allow users to choose what suits them best.

Likewise advanced config, which I know a few people have asked for. It's best installed from a CAB as it's generally only run once, then removed when you've finished tweaking - so not much point having it in the ROM taking up space.

Meanwhile, I've been working on improving speed and memory for 2.3. For previous versions I'd switched off a bunch of virtual memory tweaks that weren't having much effect as VM wasn't particularly busy. As we add features and expand the ROM, so the load on VM has increased and we need to be more careful about how it's used.

The v2.3 I'm testing has a marked speed improvement based on ensuring key drivers and OS components are retained in VM, rather than swapped in and out of pagepool. This should have a positive effect on battery life too as it'll reduce stress on the CPU.

I've also reorganised the XIP section, freeing 200kb of additional physical ram (50.72mb now available), while adding wince.nls to XIP for another nice speedup.

Lastly, I've added a missing option to boot registry that allows driver stacks to be loaded into available high memory slots. This makes more efficient use of RAM, so you should see a further slight improvement.

More to do on 2.3, so I'll keep plugging away on it.......

Notes synch not working

Hi,

any idea if that might be caused by the ROM? I never had this problem before but my PC is not the most constant environment so it's possible something else has changed.

I'm on version 2.x (file is downloaded some time ago - Uni_21127v20-64). Thanks for any pointers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] thingonaspring:
@asdafer - ah yes, I'd forgotten about that.

There's a really annoying DLL "fsreplxfilt.dll" that's intended to run at all times.

Its job is to watch filesystem activity and keep a note of files that have been changed.

The idea is that when you sync your phone, activesync checks the list of modified things and uses this as a guide to sync back data.

Oddly - only notes sync uses this list, everything else works fine without it.

Unfortunately FSreplxfilt.dll interrupts all filesystem activity (read, write, create, delete file), slowing the machine down, and eating some RAM+CPU in the process.

For that reason, it's not included in the XIP section, so notes sync will fail.

I'll take a look at the impact of reinstating fsreplxfilt, but if it ends up slowing things down too much, I may just leave it as it is.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] asdafer:
Thanks for a quick response. I can live with that. I'll find a way to copy the data accross.
