[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hi Kevinpwhite, i've been playing with FFboy's 6.1 rom mainly as this has over 100Mb free and to see how it works with the niggles I have been experiencing.

The issue with icons disappearing on the start menu does not occur. Using this rom I was using the Resco Explorer today plugin as a launcher and on the very odd occasion I did get blank icons but disabling and re-enabling the plugin cleared this. To be honest I did not anticipate a problem with the icons on 6.1 but I thought I would give it a try.

Now I know you advocate installing all apps to main memory but I like to keep my device memory as clean as possible. Probably a throwback to those old 64Mb devices where every file on the devices internal memory would steal precious kilobytes from the program memory and as I like to re-flash from time to time I find 99% of all my applications work just fine by copying back the shortcut to the start menu so personally I prefer to keep as much as possible on the sd card with the exception of task managers, today plugins etc.

Next, do you recall a while back I mentioned the volume was very low on my Bluetooth headset? keeping the device at normal volume I nearly deafened myself when I made my first call using my headset (I forgot I left the volume up high on the headset) so there was something in the rom which made the volume low.

Lastly and not related to testing I tried the AGPS off utility as it takes forever for my TG01 to get a fix, once its got a fix and held it for a few minutes I can try again say a few hours later and it gets a fix instantly and I recall having to disable the AGPS to speed up the Omnia gps. Well after loading the cab IGo reports no gps :( so I thought no problem I would reverse the setting and after restating IGo still refuses to find my gps :(

Not to worry though I will give this new rom a try and see how it works and let you know.

I am not complaining on any of the points above, I know you try these things out and if it does not work then its your problem but I just wanted to share my experiences.

If anyone is wondering why I have not gone for any of the newer 6.5 roms I have problems with all of them where randomly programs stop working (even the built in apps) and none of them have the red and green call/hangup buttons on the bottom of the screen which I feel are quite important on this phone.

Keep up the good work and thanks.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
I'm not sure what the specific changes are between WM6.1 and 6.5, but I don't believe that I have mande any changes to the OS which would affect this behaviour compared to the stock Orange ROM.

I have done a side by side comparison on two TG01s running stock and my clean ROMs and could not determine any difference. Same music, same settings.... tried separately into both wired USB and BT speakers and BT headset (Sony Ericsson MW600). I usually aim to have all of the system, music app and headeset volume settings at no more than about 60% simply to minimise potential for audio distortion. Again, as above, I don't believe that there have been any changes in this ROM which would affect the volume, but if you can point me at any possible registry settings I'll gladly have a look to compare.

The AGPS_Off I posted a couple back simply changes the registry value from 2 to 0. If you have then edited back to 2 again with a suitable editor and soft reset, it will be back exactly as was. In the 3 or 4 days since I set to 0 on my prime device, I have found the GPS to be vastly improved, particularly with maintaining a lock -I have had running for over 12 hours at a stretch indoors without a hint of dropping the lock and very good performance while driving also.

I'm afraid I have no experience of IGo, but I have seen various other posts and gather that it may have some of its own unique eccentricities.... this TG01 thread contains a number of opinions on the subject.

Many thanks for the feedback - I'm sorry I can't give simple and definitive solutions in each case, but I hope you will get working to your satisfaction.
[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hi again, just reporting my findings with the latest rom and remember these are not complaints.

Bluetooth, the volume has gone back down since the 6.1 rom where it was very high. Possibly just needs SRS installing and 'tweaking' but I can manage so I will have look a bit later on.

Missing program icons, almost all missing. I even deleted the shortcuts and made new ones but its still the same all I get is the odd one or two icons that display correctly but its never the same ones twice.

GPS, I had heard quite a few people place good reports about the gps under the new radio. It still takes ages to get the first fix but if I exit and load again or use another gps application this does not lockup or crash.

However everything else is fine, I have not had any issues with using the device at all and all my software works just fine.

Thanks again
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Thanks for trying the newest edition of the ROM and again for your comments - always good to know how someone else if finding things...

I'm still puzzled about the icons issue... can I just clarify for understanding that this is a case of Start Menu icons not showing correctly for programmes installed in the uSD card ?
[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Yes, applications installed onto the storage card just appear as white square with a thin blue band across the top.

If I get chance I will post an image

In Call Volume and vooice distortion

Hello All,

Just wondering how the in Call Volume is with thsi rom. The stock UK Orange rom has me holding the hard on my ear to hear anything clearly, and even then the voice seems distorted. Is this a ROM problem or HW. Thanks

Regards

Mustafa
[TG01 ROM Development] mkultr4:
Hello,

Try using SRS wow the 3 cab version. I have had no complaints from people calling me. Everything seems to be fine.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Call volume seems fine to me... but this does seem to be something which different people have different perceptions on. And if you do want greater volume, then the SRS suggestion is one option to get greater gain.
[TG01 ROM Development] sergmreg:
Hello Kevin,

Thank you for the ROM. I use It about three weeks and like it very much!
[TG01 ROM Development] jasharrar:
help, i want ro re-install this rom but every time i try the sddl method i get the message "upgrade image not found, copy an image to prg folder of storage card" the tsw is in thr prg folder and i have tried it with other roms, can you help me please. kind regards

jas
[TG01 ROM Development] mangonguyen:
Wow! It's so nice! Thanks so much!
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
I think you need sddl+ and not sddl to resolve. sddl+ is included with this ROM download package.
[TG01 ROM Development] BiG K:
yup need to click on sddl+ as I made the same mistake the first time round too :o

I've tried the ROM, it's good :D The call quality seems a bit better than before but I still have occasional problems with loosing signal when switching between 3G and 2G, which causes the GPS signal loss but this was present in the official toshiba ROM :rolleyes: If there is no signal, then there is no A-GPS fix and hence the phone looses GPS signal :rolleyes:

However uninstall Google Maps, it didn't work on my phone, it would just exit randomly! Uninstalled and re-installed the new version and everything works as it should :D

Thanks Kevin :D
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Many thanks for your comments - the GPS issue is definitely related to the A-GPS operation. I recommend using the .cab or Registry change mentioned in Posr 1. This turns off A-GPS - I have driven ca. 750 km across OK, Denmark and Sweden in the last week and had absolutely no drop-out problemsat all. Satellite acquisition is typically <30 seconds; better if ephemeris data has been downloaded. I plan to try a different A-GPS server just out of interest in due course, but is rreally not required for effective service.

Re Google Maps - I will look at replacing for a future edition; however, had previously noticed that crash behaviour when run after eg. Garmin XP and when I had the A-GPS server active. Not seen the issue since having turned A-GPS off........
[TG01 ROM Development] drphibes:
I recently bought a 2nd hand tg01 and it came with a cooked rom. I installed your rom last night and it has made the phone so much better.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

ROM(ENG) 6.5

Hi Kevin,

with the assitance of above guy, we had successfully up ROM 6.5 for my 2nd TG01 which is sent from France, the first time hold it almost to cry with it due ROM with Francaise, I even do not know 1 word :confused:

found your package & it make my TG01 alive, morethan 1 week, everything seem to be ok, Bluetooth, GPS...just few times it auto restart that I don't know why.

Once again, I want to express my special thanks to you that help my fone alive :-)

Hope that you can offer us WIN 7 in short time :-))

AK.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hi @AK ... many thanks for your feedback - great to hear that the ROM has been a success for you. Can't really offer any reasons for the few self-restarts you mentioned; possibly some software conflicts ? I've not noticed that issue in my own use day to day. If it does it again, perhaps you could let me know what apps were running at the time ?

I'm afraid however that I am a real amateur at this and do not have the knowledge to be able to create a WM7 edition.... however I am sure that some of the real experts will succeed before long. Just keep an eye out in this forum and I'm sure that there will be a version to try before much longer.
[TG01 ROM Development] ak1978:
Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your supports!

As I mentioned, it's just happened few times that fone was on STANDBY mode, not running any program.

Moreover, I have installed Google Map V.4, just work 1 time only, next running made my fone pending so I have to remove it away.

AK.
[TG01 ROM Development] bagiabanmaybay:
Thanks for the ROM,

I have tried it for a few days and it has been really stable and fast (with SPB and window menu disabled, i have 80 MB at boots).

Only one problem, I installed sip change and it didn't work, and now i can not seem to remove it from my device which is quite annoying as the notication screen keeps popping up after each soft reset. Any1 knows how to reinstall SIP change please give me some hint please.

Thanks
[TG01 ROM Development] appositech:
Please assist

Hello experts,

What I have on my TG01 is the following:

SP-00

RIL 1.0

Radio version: 5001.0001.76

I believe it is the set Orange WinMob 6.5

Should I try your version?

Conflict in radio numbers, could it hinder my local GSM functionality?

If you could, kindly direct me to an appropriate ROM of yours with least of glitches.

I was shocked by Toshiba's touch sensitivity, and do regret switching from the HERO.. I miss my HERO.

Thanks
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
You are very welcome to try this ROM.... I would hope you won't find any significant glitches :) The two versions are identical apart from the radio - one is the UK/Italian and the other Chinese.

Regarding sensitivity, it is likely that you do not have the screen calibrated to best effect. The trick is to carry out the Screen Calibration process (run the app under Settings, same as when you boot from a Hard Reset) but ensure that when you tap the cross hair target as it moves round the screen, you do so only very very lightly. The pressure is recorded in the registry and that will determine the subsequent sensitivty in normal use.

Here is a View attachment ScreenCal.cabwhich you can simply run to overwrite your existing settings and it should be noticeably 'lighter' to the touch. Each screen is individual, so best to do for your own specific device. If you then use a registry editor such as Resco you can find the releant keys and save a copy for future use.
[TG01 ROM Development] appositech:
Always thought callibration was only to set the co-ordinates.. how easy to learn if you open the right pages.

I am in Bangladesh, does the radio digits/figures have an impact at all on gsm functionality?

Such quick response!

Very helpful indeed.

Thanks again.
[TG01 ROM Development] leeston2379:
Your GSM reception may be affected, however it's doubtful that it will stop it functioning all together.

With radio its a case of trying whats out there and finding whats best for you in your area.

For example, in the UK i see little difference between 1600 and 1700 when it comes to GSM but 1700 is much better for GPS.

You can change the radio version in the rom yourself if you follow the instrucions HERE.
[TG01 ROM Development] appositech:
Good to be in such good company (thanks to all who wanted and did help)

No luck with any download threads to work yet, but I guess that is the least of work I should do myself.

See how we go.
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hello.

Could You confirm that this ROM has no problems with SD card applications after returning from sleep mode ? Now I have original Toshiba Orange UK 6.5 ROM and unfortunately it has problems like many cooked ROMs. Especially I can see it with Garmin Mobile XT on SD card. I can execute/finish it many times but it is enough to do such sequence:

1) Finish Garmin XT ( after at least one execution )

2) Enter TG01 sleep mode

3) Return TG01 to normal operation

4) Execute Garmin XT - it does not happen. System tries to do it ( turning colours ) but unfortunately system hangs. Only reset of TG01 helps ( from back of TG01 or by long lasting press of sleep button ).

Maybe it is problem from system caching of SD card operations ? As I know such problems were with ipaq 214 and caching has been blocked.

I found safe solution how to execute Garmin XT and maybe any other application on SD card after returning from sleep mode. It is simply enough to execute file manager for example and to do any operation on SD card ( simply enter on SD root is enough or to any other SD card directory but must be done !!! ). After it Garmin XT executes ok.

Best regards

[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
This ROM is based on the original WM6.5 but heavily edited and with many amendments eg. to the Registry. I run my TG01, using my ROM, with Garmin XT (on the uSD Card) a lot and have not found any issues with it. I've also not had any reports of problems from other users so far.
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Thanks Kevin.

It means I can try to load Your ROM. Hope different bugs of original ROM will be fixed like blinking backlight during internet surfing. Other reason I wanna change original ROM to Your is bad quality of audio. I mean voice of phone responders which is distorted ( I did not ask them whether I am distorted too ). Did You notice such behaviour in original ROM and fixed it a little bit ?

Regards

Jacek
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
The audio quality on this ROM is absolutely fine. There were a lot of issues in the early days with the original official WM6.5 ROMs but these were fixed in a later relese by Toshiba. This ROM is based on this later (much better) edition.
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Kevin, do You know whether any ROM updating can enable SIMLOCK that was previously disable ? I bought my phone unlocked and have not unlock code so I would like to be sure it is impossible to lock phone again.

Jacek
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hi Kevin.

I loaded Your ROM. Works fine so far ( more tests wiil be in a future ) but I am a little disappointed :( . My main problem ( bug in system I suppose ) still exists. I mean problem with SD card apllications execution after returning TG01 from sleep mode. I described You it above. Would You check it personally on Your unit ?

There is even worse I decribed previously ( on original ROM too ). It is not even necessary to execute Garmin XT one time. It is enough to :

1) by file manager set cursor on QuePPC.exe on uSD card

2) enter tg01 to sleep

3) return from sleep

4) by file manager try to execute QuePPC.exe. System will hang and only reset can help.

As I mentioned in previous post to avoid hang, after returning from sleep, do not execute QuePPC at once but change directory, return directory to this with QuePPC.exe and now try to execute it. It will work.

Regards

Jacek
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Once it has been unlocked, it will stay unlocked. Flashing a different ROM will not have any effect at all.
[TG01 ROM Development] wafeeq:
backup your card and format it, or try another SD card..

This worked fine for me...

Else try one of FFboy's roms, he's using another SD card driver
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
Unfortunately it gives nothing. What is interesting some applications treat this way as described here Garmin Mobile XT, Ozi Expoler for example, execute always ok without any system hangs and crashes.

It seems some strange solution exists. I create soft link do Garmin XT. This link of course not in SD card but in internal memory. Now, execution of Garmin not directly but via this lnik works 100/100 so far.

ROM testing

Hi.

Other bug on my tg01 is concerned with backlight value . I have backlight set in manual - not automatic mode. After soft reset backligkt is much lighter then I set up manually. I have to go to backlight settings and what I can see ? Slide bar shows my settings not settings of lighter backlight. Now it is enogh to tap somewhere near requested position on slide bar and backlight become as I expected.

Could You confirm it ?

Regards

[TG01 ROM Development] BiG K:
To anyone who is interested, I have taken KevinP's latest ROM and replaced the 0300.76 radio stack with the original UK radio stack, 5005.0001.76. If anyone is interested in it, please PM me and I can send a copy over :)

Sadly the "Orange" screen after the Toshiba screen is back but other than that, everything remains the same as I didn't mess around with the actual ROM as I found Kevin's really stable! (The animated Windows screen is still there though)
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Good to see there is still interest in this version - please advise how you get on with the original 'Orange' radio - in the early days of development there was a lot of controvosy about one radio vs. another but in the end the Italian one (minus the O splashscreen) seemed to win out for UK use. Anyway, glad you find the ROM is running happily.

It's my favorite ROM. Thank you.
[TG01 ROM Development] olyloh6696:
Hi, i Know this is pretty old, but i face this problem on ALL custom ROMs. A 'solution' is to enable auto backlight adjustment. Then after a soft reset/power on your backlight value will be corrected. Another solution, is when you power on the device, and the backlight is high, put your phone in suspend mode, or lock the phone. Then wake it up from sleep/unlock it. Then your backlight value will be adjusted.

hope it helps!
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hmmm... I've never really spotted that one. Have always used the 'auto' setting since way back in the days of WM2002. If you have specific requirements for this or any other similar type of settings, my approach would be to use CeRegEditor to capture the relevant Registry entries and then create a .cab which would allow me to instantly restore those whenever required.
