I don't know why - but I don't change anything when I am going from Beta to Final ROM.

That works to.

I didn't abolished. I am always testing and benchmarking different Builds. In the moment the Build 28244 is the best Build.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] fulat:
its ok... i shall wait for ya official clean WWE ROM again. anyway.. 1.2.5 it seem better memory management even.

i have tested both papago and garmin gps system running on sense. no problem reported like others.

[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
It's because of the Build 28244. Build 23698 is probably more compatible. Thank you for your report.

Hi brainmaster

I have a problem all of your rom. Afte I use my own ringtone(mp3), it always switch to "none" and cause missing calls. I like to use CHTeditor's toggle switch for mute status. I test it and can not approve the CHTeditor direct cause the problem.

Some reports after playing with 1.25 for one day

Hello brainmaster ... first I would like to thank you since your last beta 1.25 is very responsive, very fast and virtually free of any bugs (actually I did not find until now)... you are really a master chief...

Second, since my first Smartphone had only 64Mb of memory I'm always very careful of memory usage so I've done some memory checks with the latest 1.25.

a. After one day playing around I used "HTCAddict CleanRam" and make a purge memory. Then I have 55.56MB free with Sense loaded and 78.20MB without Sense...

b. After a clean reset I do the same and I have 69.63Mb free with Sense and 95.74Mb without Sense... (if you want I can post all those screen shots)

There is any issue of memory leaking or it is "normal comportment" that after playing around with the phone the RAM is decreasing? By the way, I'm not using background tasks except S2U2...

Third, our phones are able to handle in call recording (this was one of the reasons why I've did not buy an HTC...) but in your ROM, there is no possibility to do it ... Since it still remain a Acer phone do you think that you can add this function to the final ROM ... if not it is possible to install back the S200 original dialer skin and take back with this function ?

Thanks a lot and keep going your job is superb …

Christoph
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
About Memory Leak - when you use the Sense for a while it (E-mails, Music, Photo Tab) it occupies memory - its not a leak. That is why I don't use Music and Photo Tab.

If you want to gain about 15 MB more memory - go to the Add-ons section, download the MMAppLauncher and activate it. I am personally using it and I have on my CHT 2.0 ROM always more then 65 MB of free memory. On ROM without CHT it will be around 80 MB of free memory.

About - InCall Recording - yes, I am planing to integrate it, but it just didn't had a time to get deeper into that. If you have some suggestions or you find something that would be helpful on that, please post it here.

What is that Dialer that you are using to record the Calls? Vito's Audio Notes (Shareware) can also record the Calls.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] ctsatsis:
Skins

Thanks for the trick :)

Actually since your rom comes with XTask I've just installed your "brainmaster´s xTask Start Menu Replacement.cab" wich is working perfectly (more fast than MMLauncher) ... I've managed to earn 14Mb

Well I'll try to install the original dialer from Acer S200 Cabs which can be found here thanks to rafivyto ...

The skin is installed and working ... the only problem is that you have to push manually twice in the "end buttom" to close it and it is very difficult to access the keys...

After some tests the dialer is almost unsuable in your skin; recording is working but the other side volume is very quiet (actually the same syptoms with a real HTC :))

I not recomand to install it in a "production" phone ... only for tests...

2nd day of use and one bug ...

After a secind day of use I come up with 3 issues :

1. I've managed to make incall recording usable by using the Car provided by "pavlica" with the combination of AutoCallRecorder

2. I've came up with an issue by trying to install SlideIT... Actually Swype is perfect but I can't in any version have it in more than one language and since I'm using constantly English and French SlideIt could be a solution ... I've discover that installing SlideIt does not allow me any more to select a keyboard from the bottom middle key... The solution, reinstall and uninstall Swype... by the way if you know how to add more that one language to Swype I'm interested ;)

3. I'm having some freezings with in coming audio call but I don't know if it not the cause of ACR 1.24 or anything else (tomorrow I will uninstall it and will try again ...)

If I found something new I will continue to repport.

Have a nice day

Hi brainmaster

I see you use the CHT2.0. Have you tried the toggle switch of phone? Every time I use the toggle and can not turn on the phone again. Only can start the phone after reset.

The problem exist at every rom I flashed. I have to use CHT1.85.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
Yes, this problem exists with the CHT 2.0.

No bug since 2 weeks of heavy use

This rom is probably the fastest and the most "clean" (in RAM use) I've ever used ...

Thanks a lot Brainmaster and good luck

No need for that. I have retired but in January when I have more time I will release new Manila Multi ROM.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] panoz:
Hey guys, brainmaster thanks for your hard work.

It's the first manila rom that has lasted more than a day on my phone..

I got this problem with the wifi : Can turn it on, but

can't

turn it off...

any ideas?
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
I had some time today, so I cooked new BETA ROM:

Instead of using the xTask, I can recommend you the uTask program. It runs as service, can close programs on X and you can re-assign any key. In combination with my MMAppLauncher Start Menu Replacement it works great.

Attached is the customized 5 Languages uTask version.

Hi BrainMaster,

It's great to see new release from you! I am still using your 28244 clean ROM, it's working good, only sometimes will hang, don't know the reason, but it's already the best ROM I ever used!

Is 21685 newer than 28244? from the no. it looks older.

By the way, if this ROM can release more RAM and stable, can you offer a clean ROM for us?

Many thanks!
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
21685 is the HTC Build and yes its newer then the 28244. This ROM have better memory management.

Sorry, I have no time for other ROM's in the moment.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] euplio:
Hi brain, compliment again for your rom, if do you want I can help you making other roms (clean,gtx,etc...)

Thanks Brain, new up 1/2 day and it's stable
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] dimamyth:
Flashed this ROM after 5 days of heavily using Arto's Sense 4.0, and this firmware is definitely more stable. Also, it's better adopted for s200 (e.g. "Settings" more functional, as it runs WM ones, not manila's).

One and only small bug I found is (like it was in Arto's): FM tuner not sounds after starting it's app, need to switch (up-down) system volume to make it heard.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] liyhang:
Thanks brainmaster. Glad to see your new rom.

Beta 1.2.6:

- fast than beta 1.2.5

- can't set picture background

- eat RAM than beta 1.2.5 (>10Mb) i have disable image tab, music tab and install MMAppLauncher to replate Windows menu
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
What do you mean with "can't set picture background"?

Memory management is better for me then with 28244 Build. With CHT 2.0 installed and many widgets active, MMAppLauncher, I have constantly around 60 - 65 MB of free RAM.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] big:
...so, in beta 1.2.5 free RAM always 70-75Mb :)

in beta 1.2.6 same 55-60Mb

in Settings>HOME>Appearance > can't set Use this picture as the background
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] big:
Set Use this picture as the background ok, because MMAppLauncher press OK it's direct out!
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] bananana:
Hi BrainMaster

Will you crop a clean ROM from this build?

I think the SPB shell 3.55 is more better for S200 then Manila.

If you don't, then can I disable the Manila to install SPB shell? will there be any side effect and consume more RAM?

Regards!
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
In January i will release new Manila ROM's in all languages.

You can disable Manila and install SPB Shell - there will be no memory problems.

3 days playing with 1.2.6 without any major problem ...

The only question is why removing - xTask ?

Happy cooking

Christoph
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] brainmaster:
Its BETA ROM, so I've removed xTask only to see how the uTask is working.

On my Acer I also have the latest BETA ROM, with uTask and its working great. You can install xTask if you want. Here it is.
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] ctsatsis:
Don't worry i have it already ...

The problem with utask is that he map to the "ugly" task manager so, probably with use with something like E*Native Showcase can do the job ...

I actually prefer to stick to xtasks because it can also been used as Windows StartMenu remplacement... the benefict, you save the 3Mb of RAM of MMLauncher...

Icon's Problem

Hello,

The icon is missing in Windows Start Menu for all my apps installed in the SD Card, the same happens also in the Sense Launcher (see screen shot bellow).

EDIT: I found, it happens that somehow the SD Card had a bad FAT32 file structure ... so after a good format the problem dissapear...

So, nothing to do with the Brainmaster's ROM. Sorry for the inconvenience ...

[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] bananana:
Tested for more than 1 week.

No big bug found but some small.

- FM Radio has no sound

- Cannot rotate the screen by software (the Navigation software loader)

The biggest problem is freeze, it will freeze few times a day, it seem the freeze is from phone activity, for example, when a SMS come it or a phone call come in, but I only feel like that, not sure it's 100% that reason.

Otherwise this is really good ROM.

Hope a more stable clean ROM will be released soon!

[Omnia 7 General] evilangelic:
No, not a normal slot.

In some mobile phones with windows 7, the MicroSD is hidden inside.

You cannot access without unscrewing, and it voids the warranty.

The phone must be taken apart into pieces to find the MicroSD, it is not one you just change for different music all the time!

We need a person to volunteer to take apart their phone!

I have an Omnia 7 testing device and I am willing to disassemble it. But I really don't know where to start with this. Seems that the phone can be disassembled only with special tools that I don't have...
[Omnia 7 General] karthikraman:
Omnia must have a slot like the HD7?

Got this from a link (I am a new user: so can't post links yet: here's a goo.gl/Vi0e)

While the Omnia 7 has an microSD slot, it isn’t your run of the mill one. The microSD card that comes with the device is essentially locked to the device. If you remove the card, it will make the phone inoperable. I did read a tip that this may change later on, or if you swap cards and reformat then you have to suffer with losing your data, but that hasn’t been officially verified yet. Also someone will probably figure out a hack or way to copy the formatting scheme over to a new card to avoid losing your data, so don’t fret too much about this.
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
Just got delivery of Samsung Omnia 7.

I'm trying to open it up but I can only get access to 1 screw..the other ones are partially or fully obstructed!
[Omnia 7 General] digime:
@karthikraman - there is no card locking going on and upgrading memory is fully supported by MS. It just has its own special procedure and consequences. Too many tech writers have been reporting this as if it's some kind of hardware hack special to the HD7. Nonsense, as I said it's supported and designed to work that way.

Manufacturers have decided to hide the cards inside. Maybe they thought that was safer so that people didn’t swap in new cards and complain their phones had stopped working or, if they did the hard reset, that they had lost all their data.

Anyway, all we need to know is whether we can get to the SD card in the Omnia 7 or not. If we can the upgrade ought to work.

@lvoky - Can you post pictures or describe what tools you need?
[Omnia 7 General] lvoky:
Well, I can post some pictures later, but generally, as hboos mentioned, the screwes under the battery cover are partially obstructed with the rest of the phones casing... Which means that before unscrewing these, the casing has to be somehow removed. There are no other screws on the phones body, so I guess the plastic top and bottom part of the phone has to be "unclicked" somehow. Or maybe we have to begin from the display, like with iPhone 3G for example...
[Omnia 7 General] VinceRothwell:
OK, I have got it apart, but haven't found the SD card yet.

Where the slider is for the USB charger, use a small screwdriver & gently prise the plasic up (with the slider open), gently work your way around to get the complete cover off.

There you will find three screws, once these are rmoved the end will come off, after which you can slide the metal case off. You can then access all the screws.

HTH, Vince

[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
Thanks Vince!

Taking it apart just now!

Just for clarity...to take the first bit off, open the usb slider and put a screw driver in to take off the plastic from the END of the phone... then everything is easy from there.
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
is it possible for the microsd card to be underneath the sim card slot or inside the area with the antennae?

[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
Right guys,

After faffing around with this...the microSD card must be located just beneath the screen..unfortunately, I am unable to check for sure because the board has connections glued on to the sides for the power, camera and volume buttons..

what a downer

[Omnia 7 General] foxbat121:
HTC, and maybe Motorola, is known to use microSD card for internal storage in various phones. Samsung, on the other hand, doesn't do that normally. All the Galaxy S phones have flash chips mounted directly on the circuit board. Samsung makes those flash chips, so it makes no sense for Samsung to use someone else's microSD cards.
[Omnia 7 General] digime:
Nice try and thanks for giving it a go.

Here's more info on the official position from MS:

http://windowsphonesecrets.com/2010/10/29/microsoft-speaks-on-micro-sd-and-windows-phone-storage-expansion/

I said on an HD7 thread that I think they are just being really careful and making sure they minimise potential problems - they don't need the launch to collapse with any Apple-antenna type bad press.

I think I've decided to go for an HD7 and will probably upgrade the memory once I've used up the 16GB.

Olympic levels of disappointment

I have had my Omnia 7 for 24 hours, and it's going back.

There are two issues.

The first is that the speaker phone is very poor - and this matters to me a lot.

The second is the decision to only include 8GB of storage on the device. I hoped it would be enough, but it just isn't. After OS requirements and space for apps etc, I installed my work music collection onto the machine - 720 songs, and there is 1.5GB left. Not even enough for a movie.

At this stage, I would definately rate the Windows Phone 7 OS - it's fast, slick, and very, very cool, but MS's decision to restrict user expandable memory has made WinPho7 a no-go for me.

I can't understand why, for a few extra bucks, MS didn't specify a minimum of 16 or even 32 GB of storage. That would have made the devices killers and given the long production runs and relative cheapness of SD RAM cards so much of a price issue.

I tried the HD7 (which you can hack to upgrade), but my hand is too small for my right thumb to comfortably reach the left hand edge of the screen.

I'm gutted. Stupid MS. :mad:
