SuperD-Lite! WM6 Optimal Base Rom

[edhaas]

Welcome to Dopod Lite (now D-Lite!)

Latest version is SuperD-Lite! (Links at bottom) If you are new to my roms, I suggest you read through this first post and the rest of the thread so you understand where this is coming from.

There are lots of nice roms out there. So, why put out another? Well, everyone's different, and I think there are folks out there who may be looking for this.

Note: For V1.2 and V1.1 changes, see below! I am leaving the links for V1.0 and V1.2 because they work great, and avoids hassle for those who don't want to bother putting in their own Java VM, (V1.1 and 1.2), or want to use this as a base for further cooking. (Won't work in V1.2)

From my own testing and use, the latest stock WM6 Hermes Dopod rom has proven to be the fastest and most stable of the current official WM6 roms. This is supported by the fact that a number of the well known chefs are using it as their base. (Sleuth, Shaps, and some others) I've been running my own version for awhile now, and am very pleased with it: its ability to sleep and play music, its skip-free A2DP, and its speed.

However, it has a moderate amount of bloat, which can be removed to make it better.

I have stripped the following: Transcriber, Windows Live, VOIP, Voice Commander, Autoupdate, Catalog, Error Reporting (though it still shows in Settings), SQM, Ceipui, Calculator, ClearVue pdf reader, Zip, the less-used ring tones, and the standard movie clip. Probably some other things too. I have also compressed some files to gain free storage space.

The result is a fast, stable rom, with a minimum of clutter, which performs all the basic functions very well thank you: Phone, Internet, Java, Office 2007 (without OneNote), GPS, etc. etc. It is ripe for customizing in your own special way. If you want it to become a developer rom, add that stuff. Add custom themes? Go ahead. Add functionality? Ready and waiting. There's plenty of free memory and storage space: 30.06 meg, and 59.51 meg respectively (V1.0, 6mb page pool). I could have added a few meg to program memory by reducing the page pool from 6meg to 4meg, but I chose not to do that in the interest of maximizing stability and functionality.

I have altered the initial customization routine to do only the basics: set hspda, set acoustic parameters, and a few registry settings. It does not access the extended_rom, so you are free to do what you want with that.

You will have to choose your own radio (or leave the one you have). You will likely want a replacement calculator (there are lots of good ones). You may want a voice dial program (take your pick). You will have to add your own carrier settings. (Cabs are around for most of these.) The start up screens you currently have will stay there. This is an OS only flash.

If people have suggestions and links for additional functionality, feel free to post them!

If you have never flashed a rom before, take care to follow the excellent tutorials (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295751) available before doing it for the first time. Your Hermes device can be ruined otherwise.

I will try to fix bugs, etc. but this rom is best suited for those who can troubleshoot things for themselves. This is a hobby, and I can't guarantee I'll be around everyday to help with issues. However, I really don't expect a lot of problems, and you can look on the Dopod release thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316770) for some help with things as well. (Not to mention the rest of the site!)

See second post for more screen shots (5 pic limit/post), capture screen program NOT included in rom. Memory stats are as above, not as pictured, because I had that program and file explorer loaded and running.


Version 1.0 links, Includes Tao Java 10_1_7_575 built in, 6mb page pool. Time-tested stability and performance.

V1.0 Rapidshare Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/45634079/DopodLite1.0HermesWM6.zip)

V1.0 Megaupload Link (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FNI8EG7F)

Version 1.1: Offered with some trepidation, however since Schaps decided to package two alternative Java VM's I thought I'd give people a choice. In this version I have also decreased the page pool to 4mb, which makes me a bit nervous, but seems to be running ok for me. The final memory results are remarkable: Free storage memory is 61.03 mb, and Free program memory is 32.07 mb at cold boot after customizations! See post for further discussion. (Update: I have added a 6mb page pool version for those who have issues with the 4mb version.)

V1.1 4mb PagePool Rapidshare Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/48063067/DopodLiteV1.1WM6.zip)

V1.1 6mb PagePool Rapidshare Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/48573231/DopodLiteV1.1-6mbPP-WM6.zip)

V1.2 Update: In this version I have gone even further, by removing all .rgu files from the V1.1 base. This eliminates about thirty-five file entries in the Windows directory, and frees up about 200K of additional storage memory. For some operations, this should increase rom speed even more than its already "blistering" pace. The downside to this is that it is unsuitable for those who want to use it as a base for their own cooking. (Except for the RomDonald kitchen, which should still work.)

V1.2 4mb Page Pool Rapidshare Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/50922785/DPLHermesWM6V1.2a4mbPP.zip)

V1.2 6mb Page Pool Rapidshare Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/50924129/DPLHermesWm6V1.2a6mbPP.zip)

SuperD-Lite: Based on V1.2, and incorporating bepe's new technology of melding extended_rom and storage rom, this version boosts available storage memory to 71mb. Be aware that this flash will wipe out your extended_rom partition. If you are coming from another chef's or stock rom, you will have to reload all your apps, etc. If you are upgrading from one of mine, that is still probably safest, but you can check my last post for an optional method.

Hello Edhaas,

Thanks so much for this lite version!!

I was wondering if you have the cabs for Solitaire and Bubble Breaker (when you extracted them I was wondering if you kept them). I have searched and am unable to find them. It seems like they should be readily available but I am unable to find complete versions of their cabs.

Thanks again for this version and your time,
vjgrace

[drgopoos]

thanks for the base.. i wanted one that i could customize according to my needs

[joecruz]

Hi,
Thanks I also wanted a lite rom. Just wanted to ask, since u said it's based on the latest official dopod rom, is it exactly the same with just those apps removed? No special tweaking, interpollating of other devices' roms, other imgfs, etc? (like what the other chefs are doing).Just the official dopod rom itself?

[alancstan]

Edhass, care to provide some screen shots?

[rob.ocelot]

Edhass, you just did what I was contemplating doing last night!

Kudos for removing that ugly calculator with the buttons I can barely hit with my fingers. I never understood why some chefs left in that calculator while they blinged up the today screen and added nice dialpad skins.

Sorry about the games. It was a tough decision. In the end I took them out because I'd already played them to death. The freeware site in the second post has lots of games, including solitaire. There used to be cabs floating around here for the games, but I'm guessing they were pulled for copywrite issues. If I'm in error, it would be great if someone could post links or update. If you want, I could cook up another version with the games, I think they're around 500k together. It may take a few days though. If anyone else wants them, please post your request.

Regards,

[edhaas]

drgopoos - you're welcome!

joecruz - It's all dopod. I played around with using another Java, and some other stuff, but for me the original works fine, and is much smaller. I changed some registry settings, and the initflashes, and removed stuff, but no mix and match in this version. Thanks for asking. Edit: I did change the version of mxip_notify.vol so that I could remove ceipui (phone home).

alancstan - I'll work on that. Basically its a standard WM6 looking rom. It boots into the Windows Default theme, but I've included the standard Guava Bubbles and Mobile Green themes. The difference is in the speed, stability, and available storage. You can make it look however you like!

rob.ocelot - Yeah, the calculator was always one of the first things I replaced when I ran a new rom. There's lots of better options out there.

[rob.ocelot]

Noticed that Remote Desktop is taken out as well. This actually works out better for me since you can install it to memory card -- more savings.

Any reason you left the sample pictures and dogbark.wav? (these are some of the first things to go when I start a new ROM)

Edit: Also no HTC X-button, which I almost always turn off. It never did mesh well with the way I use my PPC (closing/minimizing things to get to the today screen just to open the task manager).

I'm very impressed with how snappy everything seems to be!

Thanks for the comments! I chose to leave in the pics because they were really small, and I felt like there was some comfort factor involved for those transitioning from a stock rom. (When opening Pictures and Videos, its nice to have something there so you know its working.) I also sometimes use the dogbark for my alarm. (and its also small) :p

Actually the version 1.0 of x-button is built-in. This version is small, and its only function is to close an app completely if the x (close) is held down for a few moments. There is no today screen option. (Look in system settings, near the bottom, I think its called taskmgr or something. I've overwritten mine with a later version.) I didn't update it because I know there are folks like you who prefer other task managers, and I didn't remove it because for those who like to close their apps and not hide them its a simple solution.

Best wishes,

Many thanks for the Lite Rom, will try and see if working fine with my x01ht with chinese input. :)

Thanks so much for your response, No problem about the games, I know you are probably busy. I just though I'd ask because my wife really loves the bubble breaker game.

Anyway, this lite version is awesome, so much memory it is unbelievable...thanks again for the memory space and the stability!!!

[ratcom]

nice base rom, thanks for putting the work in so lazy people like myself dont have to ;) I'll add my own meat and potatos and see how she runs in the next few days......

[galaxys]

I like LITE versions, and I've been following this thread. This rom sound good and I might give it a try. thanks

Thanks for the link, my wife will appreciate that game.

Take care!!

[edhaas]

Well, per request I've added some screenshots to the first and second posts. Please note the screen capture app was added after the flash, and that available memory is larger than shown.

Also, we're around a hundred downloads, and I'm guessing the relative quiet here means everything is working great, and the rom is just boringly reliable and efficient! ;)

Best wishes,

[rgelfand]

Found this rom very good.

On the subject of a2dp skipping, would brief pausing be called skipping? I have parrot mk6000 hands free carkit. It's bluetooth version is 1.2. I realize that bluetooth version 2.0 is downward compatible, could this have something to do with pausing? or is it a processing bottleneck? or buffersize issue?

Thanks in advance

A2DP troubleshooting seems to be a bit of an art. I can tell you that my Plantronics P260 stereo headset streams beautifully and skip-free while running internet radio, or any of the usual music players with the current settings. If I add another app to the mix, the music will sometimes pause while the other app is busy, then resume. If you are running TomTom while streaming internet radio, you might get pauses. Or, the 1.2 bandwidth could be an issue also in that case.
I did a mini-search and found a posting by pocc that might be helpful for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1406333

Generally though, the current thinking is that usejointstereo should be "1", and all the "bitpool" settings should be deleted for the best sound. See here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308752&highlight=hermes+a2dp+sound+quality). Which is the way I set this rom at default. If you do want to tinker with these settings, I suggest using one of the custom tweak apps, or getting a registry editor. Let me know if you need further help.

When I run wmp, the only other application I run is activesync. I have played mp3 recorded with bitrate of 48 and 320. Still the same problem. May bitrate 48 it doesn't happen as often. But I would have thought that at bitrate 48 you wouldn't generate major bluetooth traffic.

Just so happens, parrot claims that this problem they experienced only with hermes.

Thanks

Well, we're heading a shade off topic, but my guess is that it shouldn't matter too much what bitrate the music is recorded at. My understanding is the digital music is transformed into a waveform, which is then fed to the speakers or to the bluetooth driver, which then breaks down the waveform again for transmission to the bluetooth device. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

I would check out pocc's post. He claims to have solved the Parrot issue.

The other suggestion I could make, would be to try a less resource hungry app than WMP. TCPMP for example, or HTC's Media Player. Good Luck!

If you don't specify bitrate in a2dp settings, does hermes decide what bitrate to use once or is this dependent on the recording? Clearly, the 320 bitrate recording sounds significantly better than that of 96.

Parrot's tech support said the unit was tested at 192 a2dp bitrate. Would you know the max a2dp bitrate hermes would if not set in a2dp setting? If not, is there a way I could check?

Thanks in advance

[rgelfand]

Could it be that hermes just doesn't have enough horsepower to decode mp3 and encode to a2dp consistently and therefore it needs to catch up after a while?

[edhaas]

Well, no. The reason I can say that so confidently is that I am using A2DP regularly as I described, which sounds awesome, just like wired, and never have a pause or skip. I have played recordings which were made at 256 bitrate and have not had any problems (They just sound better). I think your problem can be solved. Read the links I provided and give the settings there a try.


Good luck!

I'd give that a yes. Had no issues, except for some weird happenings when I tried to make a backup and I got some errors relating to the non-existent Solitaire and Bubble Breaker games (or possibly their icons/links which still might exist in /Windows). Still worked fine, just that SPB Backup reported errors with them.

Strange as it may seem, the lack of activity on this thread is a good thing. I'd rather not read comments like "love the bling, makes my com manager look ace. Too bad it's broken four other things in this ROM, please fix it". :rolleyes:

[rgelfand]

Though I have enabled hsdpa, when connected the icon doesn't switch from 3g. Does this mean with this rom you could only make 3g connection, or the connection is hsdpa connection and errorneously shows 3g?

Thanks

[edhaas]

I have added a megaupload link on the first post for those who have trouble with rapidshare.

rob.ocelot: Thanks for the comment. I also had the complaints from SPB Backup, but as you say it worked fine anyway. I haven't bothered to track it down as it doesn't affect functionality. It's possible to add exceptions to SPB backup so it doesn't complain, but to be honest it's not worth searching for the thread and the registry entry for me. I'm happy everything is working well for you.

rgelfand: Did you get your a2dp working well? The hspda is working, but yes, it does not show in the indicator. You can check your download speeds at dslreports: http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed
to verify that. Also, there are registry tweaks to enable the indicator. Schaps custom configuration tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=43787&d=1184345460) works if you don't want to dig, and it can be useful for changing bitpool settings etc for your a2dp troubleshooting.

@edhass
Yes, everything in this rom is working smoothly. I have not run into any problems whatsoever, and I have tricked it out with a whole bunch of weird stuff.
Dammit edhass, this could conceivably be the last rom I ever flash! :( Now what am I going to do with my weekends? Spend them with my wife? :confused:

LOL, Sorry about the wife thing :p! Thanks for the report. I have also had that problem. My wife swears I "break" my Hermes on purpose, so I can spend hours (usually after midnight) "fixing" it. I have to plead the Fifth Amendment on that. :o

Seriously, it really takes a lot of work to reflash. Even though I've probably done it over a hundred times by now, it still takes at least 4 hours to recover from a new flash (I have lots of programs I need access to.), then fixing all the little bugs, etc, then deciding if it's any better than the previous rom. It's fun, the eye candy of a new rom is exciting, but at some point it gets old, especially if the underlying performance of the rom isn't any better (or is worse). Much easier, though less exciting, to just load in new apps and themes when I get bored with the current setup. Or remove a buggy app with add/remove programs when needed. :(

many thanks edhass, Im lovin it!! even put it on my girlfriends 8525, she was like , "did u get me a new phone"? haha quick ?, sometypes when i type sms messages or notes, the caps lock keeps coming back on after i turn it off, this has happened to me with other roms too, any help i appreciated, again thanks for the rom very nice, i especially like how all the junk is removed.

FYI... Don't get me wrong. I performed a speed on speakeasy site. The fastest to date. Going through Atlanta server, the upload was 300 and download 550. As far as, a2dp I am going to have to live with pauses as I tried everything and pauses persist.

[edhaas]

jc and rgelfand: Glad you're both liking the rom.

jc: I can't duplicate your issue, but in the past I did have trouble turning off the caps lock, until I realized I had to press the function (dot) key first, and then the caps lock key to permanently unlock it. The same as you do when you turn it on. If you don't hit the dot key, it will only make the next keypress lowercase, and then return to the capslock condition. Hope this is what you're running into.

rgelfand: Sounds like you've got the speed! HSPDA speeds vary across the country, and even from minute to minute. I just got 923kbits/sec here, I usually get around 700. Sorry about the a2dp. It sounded like pocc had gotten it licked. One last thing you might consider before giving up or buying a new bluetooth stereo adapter, is changing your radio. Try a couple and see if a change helps.

I'm not able to use your ROM (and other latest WM6 releases) because its not BBConnect/Goodlink "cracked" or hex-edited. So i'm still stuck with the pre-official WM6 versions.

Would you be able to release one with the version hex-edited so that Goodlink could be installed successfully?

Many thanks.

Are you saying radio rom affects bluetooth performance? If so, how? as I understood it was for gsm/3g.

[larsuck]

@rgelfand - Do you have wifi enabled? I have noticed in the past that when wifi is enabled and is sniffing to find a signal that it intereferes with A2DP every 30 sec. or so.
Even if this the wifi isn't the problem, perhaps your radio version is having some kind of similar effect, whether it be interference or perhaps just sapping your phone's cpu cycles enough to cause the skip.

I don't have wifi on.

However, now that you have mentioned it, a thought came to mind. Whenever an a2dp connection is established, if there is an action that produces a notification, the notification sound iterrupts. I wonder if there is a processs that produces a sound, some sort of notification, that causes iterruption.

One thing is true, no sound is being lost as it pauses. I don't remember where I saw it on this forum, but it said that no sound being lost points to processing power of hermes.

Many thanks.

I'm sorry, but since I don't use Blackberry, I couldn't test the rom, and I don't want to release something that might not work, or could cause more problems. If someone who has already done the modification wants to post a link, or if you eventually do it yourself, I'd be happy to put the link on the first post. Good luck!

larsuck: Thanks for helping out.

rgelfand: Sounds like a good thought. I don't use direct push either, so I can't be much help. One suggestion is to make sure all your attachments, emails, etc are being saved to storage memory instead of SD card. Also all today screen or "resident" programs should be in storage memory as well. Another radio may also handle the polling for messages more smoothly. (Isn't troubleshooting fun!):rolleyes:

Would you be able to release one with the version hex-edited so that Goodlink could be installed successfully?

Many thanks.

I wonder if the attachment in the following thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321157) might help those who need blackberry with this rom?

OK, I am offering this with some trepidation, because the original version has been so stable, but since Schaps has been kind enough to package two versions of the Java VM in CAB format, I have decided to offer a version of the rom with Java removed. For those who are currently running the old rom, I don't see any real reason to upgrade, other than the flexibility of playing around with another Java VM to see if you like it better. I have reduced the page pool in the new rom to 4 mb, which I hope does not cause any problems, and some people believe may increase performance slightly. It also looks cool on a cold reboot when you see 32 mb free program memory, and 61 mb free storage memory! I have also fixed the mildly annoying, but inconsequential solitaire error message. For those who want to upgrade from V1.0, I suggest the following process: Make your complete backup, flash the new rom, restore your backup, load the Tao Java .cab, soft reset using the power off button, remove the shortcut for the midilet manager from the Start Menu. This process should essentially return you to baseline, but with a smaller page pool, more free memory, and the ability to remove the Tao Java VM from add/remove programs, and try the Jbed Java VM if you desire to do so.

See the bottom of the first post for the rom link, see the second post for links to the Java VM cabs.

Have fun! :)

[gerald_s]

Astounding.
Its online since more than 15 hours and no feedback?
Either its running perfect or nobody noticed the new version. :)

So I have to give it a try :D

[edhaas]

Hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think. So far over 20 downloads of the latest version, and over 200 for the previous version. As others have suggested, I'm taking the relative silence as evidence that its just doing its job in its own quietly effective way. ;)

Best wishes,

[gerald_s]

Running it now since some hours without any problems. You did a great job, mr. edhaas, a fast, responsible ram with a lot of free memory.

[daduy]

Dear Edhaas,

just want to let you know that your ROM is fantastic, they're fast, stable, and has a lot of free memory :D, simply fantastic, way to go :D

Welcome to Dopod Lite!

There are lots of nice roms out there. So, why put out another? Well, everyone's different, and I think there are folks out there who may be looking for this.

Version 1.1: Offered with some trepidation, however since Schaps decided to package two alternative Java VM's I thought I'd give people a choice. In this version I have also decreased the page pool to 4mb, which makes me a bit nervous, but seems to be running ok for me. The final memory results are remarkable: Free storage memory is 61.03 mb, and Free program memory is 32.07 mb at cold boot after customizations! See post for further discussion.

V1.1 Rapidshare Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/48063067/DopodLiteV1.1WM6.zip)

Have fun, and enjoy! :)

ey, man, your little rom is really nice...

I'd love to make the same for the spanish HTC official version, could you point me to the tools you've used and the content of the packcages or their parts you have striped out (i know some of thems are on OEMAPP, so you have deleted only parts of packages, i suppose).

Thanks in advance, and congratulations for your work.

[seasky3246]

Hi edhaas. Thx for your base ROM.
I flashed the latest version on the day it was released and before I used the 1.0 on the Hermes. This afternoon I made a phone call and about 20 minutes later when my call was not over the device froze. I've used the 1.0 version for a long time and this is the only problem I've experienced since I used the base ROM including the 1.0 and the latest 1.1.

[edhaas]

Thanks, everyone, for the nice comments. Daduy and gerald_s, and jcespi2005, I'm glad you're not having any problems.

jcespi2005: I used mostly bepe's package tool, tadzio's imgfs tools, my own "squeezer" package, XVI35 binary editor, and notepad. In the first post I summarize what I've done. Some of the packages group nicely with bepe's tool, others are still spread through various folders. I use notepad to go through each .rgu to hunt down all the dependencies and note what can be removed. I edit the initflashes.dat to remove shortcuts that are no longer needed. Actually, if you're interested, we might collaborate on a Spanish version of this rom. Let me know.

Seasky3246: I'm sorry about the phone hang. As I mention in the post I am a bit concerned about using a 4mb page pool. I myself had (only one) SOD experience while streaming 3G internet radio to my bluetooth a2dp stereo headset with the new version. (I had powered down and let the music continue, then after about 20 min the sound cut off and I had to soft reset to regain control of the device) I'm not sure whether to blame the reduced page pool (I never had this on the old version), or some interaction with the new 1.50.00.00 radio I'm running, or some freak thing. I ran memmaid, and sktools and did clear out some old registry entries a previous music player had left behind after uninstall, and I ran the heck out of the internet radio and gsplayer via bluetooth again and the problem hasn't occurred again. (I'm running the 4mb page pool version currently, still.) I think I'll post a 6mb page pool version of the 1.1 as well. If people have problems with the 4mb version I'd appreciate it if they'd try the 6mb version (or version 1.0) and report if the problems go away. Thanks for the report.

Best wishes,

[jcespi2005]

I'm interested. I am acquainted with tadzio tools, bepe's package tool and XVI35. I'd like to know about your "squeezer" :)

I've dumped the spanish HTC ROM and package with bepe's tool to use with bepe's cook.

Let me know how can we collaborate, or how can i help you(us) with the lite spanish version.

Thanks in advance.

[vjgrace]

Edhaas,

You did it!! Actually additional storage with the same great stability (6mb page pool), Excellent!!

Thanks again!!

vjgrace

[seasky3246]

Great Edhaas. Thanks for the 6m pagepool
but it seems that the rapidshare link is unhappy at the moment....

[klabton]

This is what i was waiting for :)
32 MB of free ram :)
Thank You man :))

[edhaas]

Klabton and vjgrace: Thanks for the comments. Always nice to hear nice things. :)

Seasky3246, did you finally get the rapidshare working? (The download count keeps going up. :))

Jcespi2005: I tried to rush out an alpha build of a Spanish version to send to you, but I am having some (major) issues with it. :( I'll let you know as soon as I have something testable. :o

Best wishes,

Hi Edhaas, yes. I flashed the 6m PP ROM this afternoon and it'g great ~
Thank you!

[gerald_s]

I guess the 6 MB PP version will have 30 MB free Ram after a cold boot?

[edhaas]

Hi everyone,

gerald_s: Yes, the 6 pp version has over 30mb program memory free on fresh boot.

jcespi2005: Sorry about the Spanish version. I've been delayed fiddling around with the new T-mobile rom.

On that subject, I wanted folks to know that I've checked out that rom, and actually produced a version similar to that here. However to be honest I don't see any difference in performance. It is very quick on cold boot, but then so is this one. It does have a newer version of Tao Java, and Arcsoft MMS, but I'm not sure the difference matters in any way. It's also a bit "bigger", in that it has more files, which are not obviously connected to anything, and that will take time to strip without causing problems in functionality. My alpha for example, has problems with the camera, and I'm not sure why. Anyway, down the road I may put out something with the new build, but I'll need to think of a good reason, and spend some time making sure its reliable. There are also some cabs, like a little tray launcher program that people might like, which will likely find their way into the forum soon, and could just as easily be run on dopod lite.

Best wishes,

[edhaas]

Let me know what major issues you have to see how can i help you (if i can).

Thanks.

I finally got the Spanish version running, and would greatly appreciate it if you could test it for me.

Here's the Link. (Link pulled, buggy.)

Thanks much,

Here's the link (http://rapidshare.com/files/49059609/DopodLiteSpanishV1.1WM6-4mbPP.zip).

Thanks much,

One little question, what ROM do you take for your little spanish version, the Dopod WWE or the HTC ESN one?

I ask cause i like to have all the CABs for the striped out components from the ROM to install later if i need.

Thanks, i'll give a try and report back.

Regards.

[edhaas]

I pulled the Spanish version for now, based on some very good testing that jcespi2005 did. Not ready for general use I'm afraid. :o

That version was based on the Dopod rom, with language files pulled from the HTC rom.

As far as CABs go, its hard to make promises. It's a bit of work to repackage OEM programs into CABs; not insane, but if you don't do it often and/or haven't spent the $$ on the good tools to do it easily, (which I can't justify for this little hobby) it takes time.

Otherwise, I guess we're back to the quiet sound of many happy DopodLite users! :)

Best wishes,

[edhaas]

Hi All,

Its been awhile since anyone's posted. Based on what some have written in other threads, I'm guessing people are happy with the current rom which is great. So, again with a bit of concern I am offering my latest update, which really fixes no problems, (are there any?) but is slightly smaller (frees up an additional 700K storage memory) and likely a bit faster (removes about a hundred .rgu and .dsm entries from the Windows directory). I'm hoping it's just as stable as the other versions have been. The downside to this version, is that it is not easily disassembled for use as a base for further cooking. However, the design philosophy for this rom is that it is meant to be customized after flashing anyway, so it should not be a problem for most.

To upgrade from 1.1, just backup, flash, and restore. From 1.0, backup, flash, restore, install JVM of your choice.

Links are at bottom of first post. (Edit: V1.2 pulled for now due to active sync problems.)

I hope you like it. :)

[gerald_s]

I'm very sure we will like it (although its not always the best idea to remove all the rgu's and dsm's). But I'm sure you've been careful in removing. I will test it tomorrow and report any issues - if there are any.

As long as I don't have time enough to create my own perfect rom (perfect for me) I'm using your roms because they are really great and well thought out. Thanks again for investing your time in building roms.

Hi Gerald,

You are right, I do my best to release clean problem-free roms. Unfortunately, I've just discovered a problem with activesync and this rom. I've pulled the links for now. Those of you who've already flashed, if you could test everything out and let me know what doesn't work so I can add back the appropriate .dsm and/or .rgu files I'd appreciate it. Last night things seemed to be ok with all my old apps, but I hadn't tried re-synching my contacts and appointments. Sorry for your trouble everyone. If others want to try this as a "beta", PM me and I'll send links.

Regards,

[edhaas]

OK, I think I'm going to have to be more tentative with this latest release. I've added back the .dsm files and gotten activesync working. Its a shame activesync is so touchy as I didn't really find any other problems, and it adds 65 files. But activesync is "core" functionality, and needs to work. Down the road if I can figure out what else I can pare, I will. So, as soon as I can get rapidshare to complete the uploads, I'll be reactivating the links to the V1.2a versions. Again, only a subtle improvement for most in terms of speed, and about 200K additional storage memory, but it should be a seamless upgrade for those on V1.1 already. Again though, it won't "play nice" with the rom kitchens out there, so if you're cooking stick with an earlier version.

BTW: Over 300 happy downloads so far of the various versions.

Take care,

[gerald_s]

Here's now my report, better late than never :)
Flashed V 1.2a with 6 Mb Pagepool, after cold boot I had 61 MB storage and 28,23 Mb program memory.

Installed in main memory:
.) enAlarm
.) BatteryStatus
.) WizbarLite
.) MobipocketReader
.) cLauncher
.) SPB Mobile Shell
.) VJs tools (flashlight, brighter screen

Installed on storage card:
.) Total Commander
.) SkTools
.) HTCustom

Changed the Comm Manager (guess its one of Schaps), made some tweaks with HTCustom.

Copied HTC Audiomanager and TaskMgr to main memory (no need to install it), tested every single installed program - running without any problems.

Internet, Email and SMS is also working, I cannot test MMS because of missing provider informations :mad:

Now running always in the background:
.) BatteryStatus
.) MobileShell
.) cLauncher - integrated in Mobile Shell

Free memory: 24 MB!!!! A hell lot of ram with 6 MB PP and MobileShell running.

As I said before: I'll keep this rom until I've time enough to create my new one :D

[edhaas]

Hi Gerald,

Thanks for taking the time to shake it out and post your results! In my own testing, I got 30.16 mb free program memory on cold boot with the 6mb page pool version. If you have occasion to do a cold boot again (hopefully not!), make sure to wait a minute or so to allow the boot to finish completely. The start up routines draw memory until they complete, which takes awhile even after the PPC becomes responsive.

Best wishes,:)

[joecruz]

Hi edhaas,
I've been using ur v1.0 ever since it came out and I must say it's working great! fast and very stable (i think I had to do soft reset only once in the past week where fone locked up). Anyway, I heard a lot of good things about the new official T-mobile version and was wondering if you could do a "T-Mobile Lite"? Exactly the same way as u did with the dopod version. That would be excellent if u could.

Thanks

[pietrucci]

(Update: I have added a 6mb page pool version for those who have issues with the 4mb version.)
Sorry I didn't follow this thread but I read this passage in your first post.

The question is: did anyone have "issues" with 4 Mb pagepool??? I never heard of that (and I read a lot around here...).
Ok to some it seems it's a littlebit slower than the 6 Mb pagepool (but to some it doens't!), but never heard of other issues.

[alancstan]

Using the v1.1 4Mb since inception, fast and stable! No problem...

[Radimus]

I just installed V1.2 6mb Page Pool and all seems well.

[klabton]

Great job edhaas :)

It' the best base for customizations :))

I have only one question, that i couldn't find the answer.
I have changed all dialpad and phone skins except one. The one that comes when I have to enter PIN.

I ask this question in Keiser 3G dialpad topic, but no answer. Maybe here somone can help me.
How can I change this one skin??

[edhaas]

It's nice to hear from everyone.

joecruz: As I mentioned a few posts back, I did do a T-Mobile Lite, but I found it was just like this one, only a bit larger in size. I didn't see any advantage to it. If there is some, let me know and I'll reopen that project.

pietrucci: Someone else (and I) had some phone problems once with a 4mb version. Most never have any problem with it. (Like alancstan!) I offer the 6 for those who do have problems with the 4, but again its a rare thing. With the 4mb version you do have 32 mb program memory at cold boot. (Vs 30+ mb with the 6mb versions)

Radimus: Thanks for the report. You're really loaded up! But that's what this is for. One minor quibble, you're "before" shot only shows 23mb free program memory, which of course is actually much higher. You must have had some processes running (I see activesync of course). Let us know how the "shake down" goes!

klabton: Glad you like it. I don't know much about skinning. I did look at the graphic files and didn't see anything that looked like it, so it's probably not named as a normal graphic file. Hope you find the answer you seek.

Best wishes to all, :)

[edward-riko]

WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE T-Mobile Lite
THANK YOU
EDWARD

[uglybee]

Is this preloaded with ATI fix? Is it neccessary to apply?

[gerald_s]

The ATI-fix is for watching videos faster and/or in better quality on the hermes. I think the fix is not implemented but I guess you can find a cab somewhere around here.

IMHO the intention of this rom is to be a clean, fast and stable rom, ready for customizing with all the required apps. Perfect to play with and customizing it

[Radimus]

It's nice to hear from everyone.

Radimus: Thanks for the report. You're really loaded up! But that's what this is for.

The only thing installed was MyMobiler for remote control and screen caps

http://i14.tinypic.com/4p155qa.jpg

Perhaps I should have rebooted the device before taking the screen caps, perhaps the installer didn't clean up.

[NRGZ28]

This is a great ROM, but I'm taking it off today. It doesnt do well while it's in suspend mode. Any email notifications I get, the sound gets chopped off. It plays for a little bit, then when I turn the device on it plays the rest of sound file. Bluetooth audio (A2DP) doesnt work while it's suspended either. I noticed AVCRP doesnt either (suspended or not). I have "phonealarm" and it wont switch profiles based on time, while it's suspended.

It's a great ROM otherwise, fast and stable, but the power problem described above is a deal breaker for me. Just reporting it, so edhass can maybe look into it :)

[edhaas]

Hi NRGZ28,

I wonder if you have some third party apps which are getting in the way. I can't replicate your notification issues (you might try a new radio version). Also, for me the a2dp works beautifully in suspend mode. (One of the coolest features.) I don't use AVRCP (I'm not sure what it is, I'll look it up.) or Phonealarm, so I can't help with those, but again I would try to look for interactions with other apps.

Hope you get it sorted out, and thanks for trying the rom.

edward-rico: Vote noted. Any particular reason for that build?

uglybee: No, I did not build in the ATI fix. If you need it add it in. I haven't needed it. Some of the configuration tools also include it.

gerald_s: Yep.

Radimus: Probably mostly the activesync busy with something.

BTW: I've noticed that Opera mini beta 4 runs much better with the Jbed Java than with the Tao Java. (for those who are fans of that browser)

Have a nice day,

[edward-riko]

edward-rico: Vote noted. Any particular reason for that build?


i am using now the t-mobile test rom
this rom is very stable and very fast it is the better rom i used until now before this i used the dopod official lite

this new build is the best i tried

thank you
edward

[uiqjirka]

This rom is very stable and very fast.Thanks

[klabton]

Ok. Flashed with 1.2 :)
And I've found the way to change pin code skin :) so now totally every thing looks P.E.R.F.E.C.T :)

Thanks edhaas :)

[yu130960]

I have tried almost every ROM and most recently am coming from the TNT Roms PRo 6megpp and was fairly satisfied until it creashed and made the phone hot to touch in less than 5 mintues. Don't know what exactly that was but anyways, thought I would like to start fresh and stay official. The HTC official was really bloated and Scaps Roms were okay but I was looking for something a little leaner and quicker without sacrificing stability. So I took the 1.0 Dopod from here and put everything that i like on it and it is working great so far.

HTC Home 1.7
Today Agenda beta
and most of the TNT applications which for the most part are available as free cabs.

Once loaded up I really see little difference between this clean ROM and the TNT.

P.S. Even though it adds a little space I would request a recooked ROM adding the games back in for those occasional boring times waiting for something....

[NRGZ28]

Well I reloaded austinsync's clean TMobile ROM today and all my power issues went away. I always run the same set of software.

PhoneAlarm Full 1.61.175
PocketBreeze 5.3
WeatherPanel 2.5

That's it....

It's funny that I had Dopod based ROMs loaded before and didnt have the power issues.

[klabton]

I have no problems with this rom :)
i have:
SpB Diary, Shell
SMSdrFix
H-Button

Still >27 MB ram after SR. :)

Have no issues with battery drain.

[edhaas]

edward-riko: Any specifics about the speed and stability vs this build? I see that someone has put out a lite T-Mobile build. (Actually not as "Lite" as this one after you add back Office though.) You might give that one a try.

uigjirka: Happy you're liking it.

yul30960: Glad it's working well for you. There are lots of free game cabs around, which can pretty much replace the built in apps and more. Have fun!

NRGZ28: My personal opinion is that the cold reset and reinstalling your apps is likely what cured your problems, but I'm glad you've found a solution.

klabton: Congrats on the skin! Thanks for your comment.

Best wishes everyone, :)

[gerald_s]

Ok. Flashed with 1.2 :)

How did you change it?

[mcorrie1121]

Hey a question about this rom...

When I use Soft Key to change the today screen button to "mew sms", whenever i press that button i get "the file 'tnsms' cannot be found".

Where do i get this file/whats wrong?

[klabton]

How did you change it?

I found one solution somewhere on this forum.
When You install those two cabs, You will get black Kaiser style Pin pad, that is more cool looking than original dopod :)
First install sdkcerts.cab, than the second one :)
More about those cabs here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321733

You will get extra top right battery icon in Schaps style :) You can alwas turn it off using Advanced Configuration tool, or HTCustom :)

[klabton]

I think, I've found a little "thing".. When I'm downloading for exmpl. some cabs from xda, i dont get names of files, only attachment.php. When i change ext to cab, it can be installed. I didn't get this with previous version ;)

[gerald_s]

I downloaded your "PK Black&Whitexxxx.cab" some hours ago, the file was named correctly. I'm using V1.2a - 6 MB PP.

[edhaas]

Hey a question about this rom...

When I use Soft Key to change the today screen button to "mew sms", whenever i press that button i get "the file 'tnsms' cannot be found".

Where do i get this file/whats wrong?

I wonder if you're using an incomplete or incompatible version of the Soft Key app? I don't see a "tnsms" file in the Windows directory of this rom, so it isn't there. I can suggest WM5NewMenu however, I think you'll like it. :) (check the resources in the second post)

klabton: I also just downloaded a .cab file without incident. Are you using Internet Explorer? (That's what I tested with.) I hope one of your apps didn't do a naughty on the wrong registry setting. :o

Regards,

[mcorrie1121]

Thanks. The Soft Key changer was in the "Lots of CABs" link in the second post so I assumed it would work. My bad there.

[diezoo]

I'm insane user :) have a lot of application and configuration.
I'm using for 24 hours, no problem, all working excellent.
I will keep for a while.... I'm very happy.

Thank you Ed.

[mcorrie1121]

Ok another question...On my start menu customization screen, there are two options for the "Games" folder; one is empty and one contains the games. The empty one is automatically checked, and when i try to uncheck it it says "Cannot move that item." :mad:

How do i remove that extra folder?

[larsuck]

Hmmmm. Seems to me I had this problem too, though it has been so long I can't remember straight. Try deleting the empty games folder using File Explorer.

But be sure to run a backup before you do. It has been a while you understand.

[edhaas]

Hi Everyone,

mcorrie1121: No problem with the SoftKey thing. I am surprised about the Games thing though. I just checked with a cold reboot, and the Games folder is not present or selected in the Start Menu in this rom. Please double check that to be sure you're using my rom! If it was added by some later app you loaded, then follow larsuck's advice by browsing to Windows\Start Menu, and deleting the Games folder which is apparently there in your case. (Double check that it is empty first.) The one in Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games is the "real" one, which is there, but empty after a cold reboot with my roms.

[Edit: It occurs to me that you may be restoring a backup from a different rom over this one. This is definitely not recommended, and will almost certainly cause you problems eventually, although it can seem to work for awhile.]

diezoo: You're welcome. Enjoy the rom. You're setup looks really cool BTW. :)

[mcorrie1121]

Hmmmm. Seems to me I had this problem too, though it has been so long I can't remember straight. Try deleting the empty games folder using File Explorer.

But be sure to run a backup before you do. It has been a while you understand.


:D Nice call man! Worked good.

I can't say for sure but I'm pretty sure that that folder wasn't there when I first flashed; as for what program added it, I don't know, I had installed many programs. But its all good now.:)


Edhaas: No I didn't use any backup here, especially not from a different ROM.

It shows up in mine as well. Not bothered as it is a simple deletion. Funny that it is popping up.

[mcorrie1121]

Ok, so I know you can't use a backup from one rom to another, obviously. But can you use one from your v1.1 to v1.2? The only difference is you removed all the .rgu files. I just thought i'd check with the source first tho.

[alancstan]

edhaas... will u be releasing a new rom based on T-Mobile 3.60 Build 18125.0.4.2 ?

[yu130960]

edhaas... will u be releasing a new rom based on T-Mobile 3.60 Build 18125.0.4.2 ?

Personally, I think the purpose of Dopod lite was the stability and speed. I haven't seen that in the 3.60 build and there are plenty of others and even one other ultra clean rom floating around.

[kparikh82276]

Hello All,

Thanks again for providing us w/ the new ROM.
I've read through most of the post, and i have the impression that majority of you feel this is a fast ROM.

I don't see that.

I upgraded from the ROM WM6 3.00 to this.

I do see the increased memory, fantastic, but don't see the speed that everyone else is seeing.

What do you think would help.... maybe SKtools optimization?

:confused:

:confused:

I used TNT 2.0 6meg and saw the little bit extra speed but that was moot the day I reached for my phone and it was burning up. Scared the sheet out of me. That's when I looked for something that was stable and lean. I am sure if you want all out speed everyone will say try out the TNT Rom. All others were slower then Dopod Lite.

[edhaas]

alancstan: I'm not sure about the T-Mob build. I did to an initial stripped version, but it was larger, (so there would be less free memory), and to me not any quicker, and there were some "hiccups" in the build that made me nervous about stability. I've been around here long enough that I realize people always want the latest build, thinking it must somehow be better; I used to feel that way too. But I've started to value the "tried and true" more lately, especially when I don't see much difference in performance. This rom fulfills a particular niche. It seems to be the most stable and glitch-free WM6 rom available, I see almost no problems with it especially in comparison to the stuff I read on other threads. It is also the most broadly customizable, with the most available memory of any functional rom out there. It also very fast, at least to me any difference with the T-Mob build in terms of speed is negligible. So, really I haven't been able to justify to myself putting out a new rom with potential bugs, and asking everyone to go through reinstalling everything and testing and debugging and fixing. (That's not to say I won't ever do it though. :p)

yu130960: Yes, there is an "ultra ultra lite" T-Mob build out. If you read carefully, you see that my rom has more available storage memory and just as much program memory, and includes Office in the build! It also has much fewer reported issues. (Although, I'm sure those will get sorted out.)

kparikh82276: This is based off the same build as the one you upgraded from. The speed will be about the same, only perhaps slightly faster, because in accessing the windows directory it has fewer directory entries to search. Some people feel a 4mb page pool is quicker, so you might try that. Also, yes, you can do some file cache tweaks which can help for some operations. I used to play with those a lot, but haven't felt the need for awhile now. Hope you enjoy the rom, it's flexibility grows on you. :)

[alancstan]

Thanks for the feedback edhaas... a good point to note;)

[edhaas]

Well, now that I said there wasn't any good reason to do a T-Mobile version, bepe goes and makes a modified version of it which incorporates extended_rom into available storage memory, and changes the balance. So, I created a T-Mobile Lite rom, which is pretty much equivalent to the DopodLite V1.0. It uses a bit more program memory, wipes out your extended rom, but gives you 67.10 mb of free storage memory to play with. For those of you who are happy with the Dopod version, I really can't see a good reason to change, especially with the hassle of reinstalling all your programs, etc. (Restoring from a D-Lite based backup is not recommended.) The speed is not any different in my opinion, and I'm not sure anyone is using nearly all their storage memory anyway. But I know there are some flash addicts out there who will have fun with this.

When I am able to figure out what bepe did to create this modification, I will release an updated D-Lite version, which should really be something!

Edhaas,
I've come to the realization that these Dlite roms are just like the dog that never barked. Very few have problems with them, so no one really posts about them, so the thread gets pushed down to the third page and no one notices it so that no one else downloads it. The price of success I suppose.

I am impatiently awaiting your next rom with the super big storage. (See my sig.) And see if you can't make it a little less perfect this time.
:rolleyes:

[yu130960]

Yes, I agree. D-Lite has become my permanent ROM and now that I set, I even find that I am visiting here less frequently. I am just going to wait for WM7.

I was going to spend considerable amount of time cooking my own, but what is the point when you have a great base to work off of...

Good job.

[kipe]

@edhaas, great ROM (using v1.2 6mb pagepool)! ..am gonna be an avid follower of this thread.. :D as someone said before this, damn..is this my final ROM.. as good as it get? ..hope not.. looking forward to your upcoming development on this...

anyway bro, which are using personally anyway for your hermes?

keep it up!

[Golok]

bravo the rom was great . damn stable.

i've got problem with mms. can't receive it at all. i have no problem sending it.
got the correct netwiz installed. Telkco setting is already correct . i've double check already.

a check with SKtool system info says MMS is not availlable.

one of the service SMS receive is not runnning due to the missing SMSReceiver_dll.dll .

is it due to this ?

many thanks

[edhaas]

Thanks, guys for all the nice comments.

larsuck and yu130960: Yeah, I agree with your point. But overall I guess I'm happier to know I've done a good job. :cool: I did a trial of a "supa Dopa", but the "cookbook" instructions bepe gave didn't work for some reason. I'm going to keep at it though. Unfortunately, I'm at the in-laws for a few days and can't work on it, so it'll be at least a few days.

kipe: Thanks, currently I'm running the T-Lite, just because I want to be able to address people's concerns with that since I just put it out and I figured there'd be more problems with it. When the new D-Lite comes out I'll probably run that and for the same reason. As I've said, I really don't see much difference between the two in performance or feel.

Golok: I haven't heard of any problems with MMS. Are others having any problems with it? I don't use it myself, so I can't give you a flat answer. Also, I won't be able to flash back for a couple days to verify the issue. You might try searching the MMS threads to see if you can get some hints from those. You could also make a backup, and then try from a cold-reboot to set up MMS first and see if it works. My guess is its either some obscure settings or registry issue, or a software incompatibilty. If that doesn't work, try installing a newer version of Arcsoft MMS, there are cabs available on the forum. Again, work from a clean-reset. As last resort, you could try the T-Lite rom, which incorporates the newest Arcsoft MMS already. Good luck!

Have a nice weekend everyone!

[kipe]

Dunno whether it's the ROM default registry setting or my device, apparently there's a beep sound when I initiate a voice call, check up the registry settings and it seems that the script value for registry key concerned is set to play.. no big deal actually but if anybody interested to not having this beep sound comes up everytime u make a call just do the followings:

Edit registry setting HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dialing, i.e. at default "Script" value which is set as "p" (for 'play'), change the 'Script' value to blank i.e. erase the ''p'" (only the value "p")..

[yky]

Thanks for the great work from Ed! I've been using v1.1 for about one week and it works like a charm! It is so fast and stable that now I visit the forum for a new rom lesser and lesser. It actually save more time for me. I use HTCustom to unlock the extended rom for another 9mb storage.

Another beauty is I didn't find memory leak with this rom. Some of the chef roms leak program ram over the time. I even notice the ram size decreased over every second. This rom absolutely doesn't have this bug!

Thanks again. I am expecting your next Dopod Hypa Lite!

[darthgus]

Just wanted to post and let everyone know out of the 30 or so roms I have tried since WM6 has been available, this one is the fastest and most reliable one so far for me.

All I add on from the default is;

HTC Default Black Theme
Kaiser Dialler
Kaiser Style 10 Button Comm Manager
Pocket CM (Kaiser Theme)
Kaiser Theme for Media Player

Phone is lightweight, zippy, and havent had an issue to date.. Im like the person above, I think I have found the perfect setup until something that is significantly better comes along!

Thanks again for your hard work dude!

[edhaas]

kipe: Thanks for the tip. That is an annoying sound.

yky and darthgus: Thanks for the comment.

All: The new "superstorage" version is almost ready. One issue with it is that the Jbed Java does not want to function. The regular Tao Java works well however. Since only one Java works, I'm thinking I should cook it in, like with V1.0. One good thing is that the new Opera mini 4 beta 2 now works fine with Tao Java. Do people prefer I delete the .rgu files or not? Looks like around 70 meg :eek: usable free storage (with Java and Office), program memory is about the same as before.

Best wishes,

[larsuck]

Edhaas,

Well, I did it. I have finally skewed enough reg settings and installed/ uninstalled/ reinstalled/ upgraded enough programs to make my current D-Lite 1.0 a bit wonky. Of course, this is in no way any fault of the ROM - conversely only a really stable ROM would have made it this far.
So it looks like good timing with your superstorage D-lite debut and I will definately be trying it out.

The best feature of your D-Lite ROMs has always been the stability, and I think that cooking in the Tao Java will save some people some headaches down the road. If people want a ROM stripped to the point of insanity (and perhaps instability) then there are other options.

I don't plan on using this as a base for recooking, so as far as I'm concerned you can cut the .rgu files. However, I am pretty sure I am in the minority here and there will be more than a few people who will miss them.
Perhaps you should use your original D-lite ROMs as a guide, leave the .rgu files in the first build and cut them later down the road when the ROM has proved itself stable... Just my two cents.

[edhaas]

Larsuck, thanks for the feedback, and your reasoned reply. Since I posted, I have read that the problem with the Jbed Java is with the Java and is not a problem with the rom, as I had assumed! (Silly me.) Since I had already built and uploaded and briefly tested new versions based on 1.2, I think I'm going to go ahead with that, assuming that eventually someone will "crack" Jbed, and this will give people a choice. In the meantime, they can load the Tao Java cab, which works quite well. See the next post for rom details.

Best wishes,

[edhaas]

Hi All,

This version is based on Version 1.2, but incorporates bepe's new discovery on melding extended_rom with storage memory. Thus, it bumps total storage memory to 74mb, and free storage memory to 71mb at cold boot. :eek: Program memory is unchanged. Otherwise it is just like V1.2, so you can read about that in the first post and the rest of the thread. Be careful of the following:

This rom will overwrite you're extended_rom! Save what you need to from that before flashing.

Like V1.2 most .rgu's are removed. Thus the rom cannot be "packaged" with bepe's package tools. (Cooks note.)

You will need to install the Tao Java cab from the second post to have a working Java.

Upgrade instructions: If you are coming from another rom, you will need to reload all your apps. Restoring from a backup will corrupt the registry and mess things up.

If you are coming from one of my roms, the safest route (plan A) is also to reload everything (especially if your current setup is "a bit wonky" :)). However, if you insist, and are comfortable editing the registry yourself, you may be able to restore your backup, then edit out all references and keys which relate to "EXT_FLASHDRV" (case insensitive), and get an acceptable result. But if you have any problems go back to plan A. Be sure to load Tao Java if you are coming from V1.0. If you were using Jbed Java, uninstall that and load the Tao Java. Also, be sure to uninstall any extended_rom seeing and accessing utilities in the old rom before making your backup.

I hope you enjoy the rom, download links will be placed in the first post.

Best wishes,

[alancstan]

Edhaas,

What is the major difference btwn T-Lite and Super DLite?? Getting really confused with the "lite" :confused:

[mryeknom]

I like your rom but V 1.2 haven't soliter I alway relax with it, could you give cab for install that?
Thanks Edhaas

[edhaas]

alancstan: They are really very similar. I put out the T-Lite because people were asking for a T-Mobile build, and at the time I hadn't figured out how to add extended_rom to the storage memory pool with the Dopod rom. At this point, the major difference is that T-Lite has Java built in. Also, the T-Lite apparently puts SMS and MMS messages together. I think they are about the same for practical purposes, but if you have a problem with one you might try the other. Eventually, I'll probably strip out the Java and the .rgu's from the T-Lite like I have for this one, especially once they get Jbed Java working again. Also, the T-mobile base is a bit bigger to start, so this one will likely always have a slight edge in storage memory.

Hope that helps, I don't think there's any real good reason to switch unless you're having problems, or just like flashing and reinstalling everything. (Which is a common affliction around here!)

myreknom: I think that's a no-no for copywrite reasons, but someone may have done it, and there are lots of other free solitare programs out there. The links in post two should get you started.

Regards,

[larsuck]

@mryeknom: See this thread for a link to a .cab file of the standard games.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320192

@edhaas: This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway: if I don't use any Java programs, do I need to install a Java VM? Will SuperD-Lite! work without it?

[edhaas]

I don't think it should be a problem to run without a Java VM. But keep one handy on your storage card just in case! Opera mini is a nice web browser though. It's really the only thing I use Java for at this point.

And thanks for helping out with the games cab. :)

[kipe]

flashed to the latest super d-lite, guess what? ..it became a hybrid (see my screenshots below) with the latest OS kernel in T-Mob test ROM (OS CE 5.2.1620) & the official dopod's build (17944.0.3.1) ..the ROM version still reports as 3.54.707.3 ..was this intended edhaas? tq for the hardwork bro..

[alancstan]

Edhaas,

Sorry to ask, but in your personal opinion, what is the great advantage between the Dopod version and T-Mobile rom version? To a noob like me, it seems that T-Mobile is the latest version (3.60) while Dopod is older (3.54). Understood from you that the base of T-mobile will be bigger, could it be additional or patches running with it?

rgds

[edhaas]

kipe: [Revised answer] Yes, it is a hybrid build. I could not get the dopod build to use extended_rom directly with bepe's instructions, so I had to modify the dopod build to get it to work.

natzakaria: Sorry about that, but I'm intrigued. What was the problem? All of the network/phone stuff is "stock" and intact.

jnfjs and ratcom: I've added a sendspace link here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/54k4v0) and to the first post. Its for the 6mb page pool version, which seems to be the most popular. If folks want a 4mb link, just ask.

alancstan: To be honest, I don't know. The T-Mobile version has newer components, like MMS and Tao Java builds. It also has a few new "core" files and programs that are larger. Presumably, newer is better, and usually newer files are larger as new features/fixes are added. However, sometimes things are added in anticipation of future functionality and sometimes new bugs are introduced. So, newer is not always better. The problem here is that the Dopod build has been extremely stable and functional, and there are no bugs I can point to and say they are fixed in the T-Mobile build. Some people prefer the way the old MMS version works, some don't. Opera mini beta used to not work with the old version of Tao Java, but now it does. I don't think there is much difference overall. Just pick one, and be happy. I know you won't make a bad choice. :rolleyes: Down the road we may have more evidence to answer this question definitively.

Best wishes,

[natzakaria]

Edhass sorry for my extremely brief remark - I wanted to run the network config wizard cab and installed it but running it says that something about dopod blah bla - I installed the cab for WWE network wizard so that I dont have to deal with setting mms and internet connection from my provider

[DaVince]

Hey edhaas.. this ROM is awesome. I just tried the 6mb pagepool version and it's really fast (no, I'm not the noob that you usually hear saying ITS GR8!! IT VERY VERY FAST!! ITS THE FASTEST ROM EVER!!). I've been using the ROM for 2 days now and I'm very satisfied with it. I used to have the TNT 2.0 which is also very good.

I like what you did about joining the storage and ext_ROM together.. and the fact that it's "lite" enough to only have the essential apps. The ROM is very stable too, never had a lockup/freezing (probably because I don't install any today plug-ins.. not even the HTC Home).

Thanks for the excellent ROM. Keep up the brilliant work. ;)

[alancstan]

Yes... I truly agree, Edhaas is churning out fast and stable rom!

[jompao]

Hi!

I'm using SuperD-Lite 6mb and I can't use HTCustom or Pimp My black, both teak sofware gives and error when saving settings. Any solution?

[edhaas]

Thanks for the nice comments. Since I'm not making $ on this, its nice to get the pats on the back. :p

natzakaria: Sorry about the dopod thing, you might try the T-Lite and see if that works for you. (Or ask that they fix that utility.)

DaVince: Thanks for the comment, and for the Jbed fix, can you confirm it works well? Is it a standalone install, or does it go "on top" of the previous build? Once I get confirmation I'll post the link in the second post.

mrbranch, Jafo, alancstan: Thanks guys.

jompao: I tried also, and can confirm the HTCustom doesn't work. However, schaps advanced configuration tool does work, as does Tweaks2K2 and Sktools. I don't know what the problem is with HTCustom. :confused: The schaps tool covers most of the same bases (and more). Make sure to uncheck the extended_rom stuff. Also, you can look up the tweaks themselves and apply them with a registry editor, but I know that can be a pain.

[kyphur]

This is a great Rom. I love the Speed and Memory. :D

Did I miss something, you left a 0k Solitaire file in the Rom, it causes SpbBackup to throw an Error.

One Suggestion: Seems that there is a split of preferences on the combined/split MMS/SMS Inbox, might think about removing ArcSoft MMS from the Rom and providing links to the two different versions for users to install their preference (of if you don't use MMS gain a little more memory).

Kyphur:cool:

[larsuck]

Well, my expectations were high and this ROM has met them. I can't say for certain yet as I have only been running for two days or so, but SuperD-Lite so far has been as stable and free of bloat as it's predecessors. Installing all my junk and bling was as smooth as hot silk through butter off a duck's back. No hangs, no burps, no forced reboots, no nothing.

After installing everything I need and then some, I still have over 45 megs free. Complete overkill. I'm lovin' it.

I am running the 6mb version and it is as snappy as any ROM I have used. Less than 1.5 seconds to open Windows folder with File Explorer is amazing. There might be faster ROMs out there, but I don't want them. This is the last ROM I'll ever flash. Probably. Ah, who am I kiddin!

[bigwhizkid3]

Hi Edward,

I would say this rom is one of the fastest that i have tried.

The only problem i have with this is after installing several big programs, it will reboot and stay stuck at the window mobile screen and i will have to do a hard reset to get the system back to default again. Try doing the installation for 5 times. Same result, thus have to use dopod official Rom and no problem after that.

I am using Dopod 838pro.

Apps install without problem.
HTC Home
Pocketbreeze
gCalc
Recso Explorer

Problem occurs after these are installed
Mapking Asia
Mapking Asia Vocal
Lexisgoo English dictionary

Some occasion, these programs cant be installed at all even if it is to the SD card.

Just sharing for information.

Thanks for the good work.

[jdel]

Hi All,
I also installed this ROM on my Dopod 838 Pro and had a similar problem as others. The initial installation was fine. I loaded all my software (soft resets in between) and still fine. Then after I synced with my PC it all went belly-up and would hang at the WM6 screen. Only solution was to hard reset.

Now I am back with JJ's Black-X ROM (Beta 2)

If you have a solution it's be great to try again. Thanks for all your effort!!

[dan13l]

edhaas - this is a genuinely superb rom. I've tried LOTS of roms, both on Wizard, and on Hermes, and this has to be one of the quickest, most polished roms I've ever used. Loads of storage and program memory, a minimum of clutter, super fast, and no bugs.

Well, I say no bugs ;) I have on minor issue, and that's when texting, or at least that's when I've noticed it.

If I turn the phone on, slide out the keyboard (which flips the screen), hit the text hotkey, and start writing a new text, sometimes the backlight will switch off (mid-text) until I press another key.

It only happens occasionally (in fact, I've just tried to reproduce it and can't) but it's often enough to be a little bit annoying. Probably not annoying enough to ditch the rom though; everything else is fantastic.

Thanks for all your hard work - you've made me and lots of other Hermes user extremely happy :)

[kyphur]

If I turn the phone on, slide out the keyboard (which flips the screen), hit the text hotkey, and start writing a new text, sometimes the backlight will switch off (mid-text) until I press another key

I've experienced that using unmodified AT&T WM6 Rom and a few others.

[larsuck]

I saw somewhere that the backlight-going-off issue is somehow caused by the Enable Keyboard Backlight Auto Sensor option (under Settings>Buttons) being checked. Unchecking seems to solve the problem.

Edit: well, bummer. That fix doesn't seem to be working for me. My blinked out this morning when typing the third letter of an text message. It seems to happen when I am listening to music over A2DP - but then I am almost constantly listening to music over A2DP. But I too have experienced this with other ROMs.

PS, love the new avatar Kyphur.

Would appreciate if someone can advise me which :

bro natzakaria, ..from my experience, HTC home and kaiser's 3G dialer (both of schen's latest) work just fine, u can top it up with the kaiser comm manager (either from schen or schap) ..the speed when opening of windows folder would not not deteriorate.. refrain from installing audio manager if possible..

[edhaas]

Hi Everyone,

kyphur: Thanks, yes that pesky thing has been around for awhile, and I keep forgetting about it. I use spb backup myself, and of course it runs fine anyway, which is why I probably keep forgetting about it. I thought I'd fixed it awhile back. I'll think about the MMS, however I like this rom to have basic functionality for folks who are less sophisticated so that things "just work" out of the box for them. I haven't gone the "ultra ultra" route because of that. At this point, the T-Lite and the D-Lite offer different MMS styles. I will consider an "ultra ultra" version at some point though. Thanks for the comments/suggestions/report.

bigwhizkid3: Sorry about your problems. I went on a loading rampage after your note, and the only problem I noticed was that after loading a bunch of stuff into storage memory, the device refused to load another cab. However, after a soft reset (holding down the power button), the device allowed me to keep loading new cabs again. I got to 25mb storage free and ran out of things to load. Everything seemed to run ok (except Wofenstein3D, which I suspect doesn't run real well with PPC's anyway as the keyboard mapping isn't there.) You might try an older version of D-Lite, just to see if its the merging of extended_rom which is causing the trouble.

jdel: It sounds like you did the soft reset thing. (Make sure you use the power button.) However I suspect a bad app in your case causing the hang. You might try syncing first, or using one of the unmerged versions of DopodLite.

larsuck: Thanks for helping with dan13l's and kyphur's issue.

natzakaria: Since they all add directory listings to the windows folder, they will slow the listing down. I doubt you would notice it much though. If you like them, put them all in.

One tip for people: The trial version of Sktools allows you to clean out registry entries and shortcuts that are left behind after sloppy uninstalls. It happens a lot. Its worth using once in awhile to keep the bugs away. (Memmaid has a similar function, but Sktools seems to be a bit more thorough.)

Best wishes,

[natzakaria]

Added the 3G dialer and HTC Home but the moment I add the audio manager opening the windows folder comes to a crawl - pls advise which audio manager works best?

Hey Everybody,

Quick question, if I load the SuperD-Lite rom that wipes the ExtROM partition, will the ExtROM partition be recreated if I reload ver.1.2?

Just a bit paranoid :)

Thanks :)

Hi All,

This version is based on Version 1.2, but incorporates bepe's new discovery on melding extended_rom with storage memory. Thus, it bumps total storage memory to 74mb, and free storage memory to 71mb at cold boot. :eek: Program memory is unchanged. Otherwise it is just like V1.2, so you can read about that in the first post and the rest of the thread. Be careful of the following:

This rom will overwrite you're extended_rom! Save what you need to from that before flashing.

Like V1.2 most .rgu's are removed. Thus the rom cannot be "packaged" with bepe's package tools. (Cooks note.)

You will need to install the Tao Java cab from the second post to have a working Java.

Upgrade instructions: If you are coming from another rom, you will need to reload all your apps. Restoring from a backup will corrupt the registry and mess things up.

If you are coming from one of my roms, the safest route (plan A) is also to reload everything (especially if your current setup is "a bit wonky" :)). However, if you insist, and are comfortable editing the registry yourself, you may be able to restore your backup, then edit out all references and keys which relate to "EXT_FLASHDRV" (case insensitive), and get an acceptable result. But if you have any problems go back to plan A. Be sure to load Tao Java if you are coming from V1.0. If you were using Jbed Java, uninstall that and load the Tao Java. Also, be sure to uninstall any extended_rom seeing and accessing utilities in the old rom before making your backup.

I hope you enjoy the rom, download links will be placed in the first post.

Best wishes,

[edhaas]

larsuck: That's odd. (I saw your edited note.) I know you run lots of stuff. Try using the sktools cleanup function. Also, if your free memory (most likely program memory) is getting low from too many simultaneous programs it can cause hangs. Does it happen with a clean install? Let me know what you find. Thanks.

kipe: Thanks for helping natzakaria, I hadn't seen your response by the time I finished writing mine.

natzakaria: As far as audio managers: Gsplayer, Tcmp (ver .72 from the website, not the new hacked .8 something floating around), or the built in Media Player. You can add a standalone playlist manager to make life easier.

joel32137: Reflashing with an older version should restore the (empty) extended_rom, for sure reinstalling a stock rom will do so.

Take care.

[larsuck]

I saw somewhere that the backlight-going-off issue is somehow caused by the Enable Keyboard Backlight Auto Sensor option (under Settings>Buttons) being checked. Unchecking seems to solve the problem.

Edit: well, back to the drawing board. My screen switched off this morning when typing the third letter of an text message. It seems to happen when I am listening to music over A2DP - but then I am almost constantly listening to music over A2DP.



Edhaas,
Sorry for the confusion. When I said "back to the drawing board" I wasn't talking about your ROM. I meant that my fix above for Kyphur and Dan13l didn't seem to be working.
I will edit my previous post for clarity.

[edhaas]

larsuck: Thanks for the clarification. :) I'm much happier now!

dan13l and kyphur: Have you tried setting the registry key: HKCU>Control Panel>Backlight>QKeyLedTimeout to 30 (decimal)? That and turning off the autosensing as larsuck suggested might do it. (Sets backlight timer to 30 seconds.) Be sure to soft reset by holding the power key for 5-10 sec until the power off message comes and answering "yes". Then power up.

Take care.

joel32137: Reflashing with an older version should restore the (empty) extended_rom, for sure reinstalling a stock rom will do so.

well i did reflash with d-lite v1.0 after super d-lite because i was having a similar problem with bigwhizkid3, only mine hangs at the at&t screen. although i find the former more stable, total commander can't find the extended rom anymore. i tried mounting it by htcustom still no luck. isn't it because the partition isn't there anymore?

[edhaas]

schemer: ATT screen? Are you trying to restore from a backup of another rom? Serious no-no. Anyway, thanks for the test. I thought it might work to just use the old version directly, because of the way the modifications were made, but it appears not. Your thinking seems sound, we have to restore the extended_rom partition. Just flash a stock rom (Dopod, T-mobie, ATT, etc) and then to the Dopod Lite 1.0. You could also probably just flash a blank extended rom. They're floating around here I think. (Don't restore from a backup when changing roms.)

Best wishes,

[DjStiky]

Can anybody help me setup voip on this rom? I've never even seen what it looks like, let alone know which cab files to install.

Thanks

Hi Ed,

No, I was not restoring from a backup, that was left out there because your rom versions do not overwrite the old splash screen. Well, thanks anyway for the tip, I'll do just that. Hope you could fix the bug of the super d-lite, I might as well re-flash that super fast rom...Good Luck!

[takashikastl]

OK i read through this whole topic, i was wondering if anyone knows how to get youtube to work on this rom, it worked on my last one, connecting thru streaming media, but now it says cant find network, when i click on a video. anyone know how to fix?

[dan13l]

Haven't tried that yet, I can confirm that the problem's still around though. Don't think I've got a registry editing app installed, so I'll sort one out and give it a go.

One thing I did forget to mention though, and it's a really big thing: the battery life on this ROM is AMAZING. Seriously, utterly phenomenal. The best battery life I've ever experienced on Hermes, bar none.

[mcorrie1121]

Hey edhaas i was just wondering if u included this fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328450&page=2)in ur rom for volume issues.

[sobepmp]

I'm finding this ROM to be extremely fast and stable. Only problem I'm having is that the lights on the keyboard don't come on anymore. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe theres a registry tweak or something to fix this. I'm planning on sticking with this ROM if I can resolve this issue.

[larsuck]

You might try fiddling with the Settings>Buttons>Backlight Enable Keyboard Backlight Auto Sensor setting before going digging in the registry.

[edhaas]

Hi guys,

First of all, I want to recommend to those of you who have not started editing the registry themselves, to become comfortable doing so. I think it marks the transition between a beginning to intermediate user and the intermediate to advanced user. It also really empowers you to make often significant changes to the functioning of your device without having to wait for someone else to make it "easy" by incorporating it into a rom or tweak program or specially designed cab file. Short tutorial: Get a registry editing program: PHM Regedit works nicely, there are others that work well. Install it to your device, either SD card or storage, doesn't matter. Make a backup of your device. (You should do this regularly anyway.) Then enter the program, learn how to navigate registry and find the keys you're interested in, double click on the values you're interested in, then change the values you want to change. (There is a wiki on this in the WM5 tweaks section.) Its a bit scary at first, but if you've made backups, nothing that serious can go wrong. At the worst you have to hard-reset, and restore your backup! The big error most people make is that one needs to soft-reset using the power-down technique and not the pin in the hole method after making changes to make sure they "take".

schemer: Thanks for the clarification.

takashikastl: I tried the youtube site, and it worked for me in the "mobile version" (pretty cool, I hadn't tried it before.) Not in the non-mobile version. (There it seems to want flash installed.) I used Internet Explorer to browse to the site, and the link opened in streaming media. There is a thread around which suggests using tcmp (search for "tcmp youtube") which may work for you even better. Avoid the .81 version of tcmp, as the "sleep mode" for playing music with the device powered off does not work for that version.)

dan13l: Check the freeware link for the PHM Registry Editor app as above. And thanks for the comment on battery life. :)

mcorrie1121: [Edited answer] Yes, the SetAccousticParameters program is run whenever a soft reset is performed on this rom. (Assuming you don't delete the Startup links). [2nd edit: Looks like only after a hard reset. It seems it removes its own link from startup after its run once.]

larsuck: Thanks for helping sobepmp.

Martinjv71: If you have a suggestion for something that will work for you let me know.

[edhaas]

Hi Claymen, Thanks for providing the alternative links for Martinjv71. I wanted to double check with you if it was OK to post the links on the first post with the rest of them. I don't know if you get charged for bandwidth or if that's a problem for you. Otherwise we can just leave them here tucked away for people to find.

larsuck: thanks again, btw your avatar is awesome.

Thanks Larsuck! my bad, im usually pretty good at searching.

[dan13l]

I applied the registry tweak for the backlight problem over the weekend, and so far so good; I've not had the backlight cut out during texting since.

Will keep an eye on it, and post back if the problem reappears.

[furiardy]

why when i sliding keyboard,the power doesn't turn on ?except i turn on the power first...can it automatic turn on when sliding ?

[mcorrie1121]

"Is there a way to have the phone be off and turn on when i slide out the qwerty?"

Is that what u meant? im confused by your...wording...:)


On another note, id like to blame you, Mr. Edhaas. Why u ask? Because your ROM is so good i cant find another one id consider trying, and i was considering gettin into cooking but so far i cant see any reason to...i dont have anything i want to change. So thanks a lot! :mad:

:)

[klabton]

Well....TyTn is not a Kaiser :)

[edhaas]

dan13l: Glad its working for you. Thanks for the update!

furiardy: I haven't seen a Hermes operate that way. If there is a power setting in the registry that does that I'll be happy to report it. Have you used another rom that does that? (I could sneak a peek.)

mcorrie1121: Sorry about that. :o Cooking can be fun to play with, and used to be more useful/important when storage space was cramped and one needed to maximize what was in the flashed area. (Also the early stock roms had bugs that could be fixed.) Now, since what is not used in the rom can be converted directly to free storage memory, which the end user has complete control over, it doesn't seem to be as important. Its also such a hassle reloading everything and setting everything up after every new flash. Which you do often, because you keep thinking of new things to flash/change/correct/update. If you want to do stuff like trying to port applications from new devices before other people figure out how to make a cab file of it, then its worthwhile. Just be sure your social or business life can take the hit!

klabton: Ah, so the Kaiser does that? Is it known if that's a hardware dependent thing?

Best wishes,

[klabton]

TyTN II also make sound when You slide keyboard :) You can set custom sound from setting. I've read about this somewhere. Rotating screen is not working like on Hermes. Its a electronic switch, not magnetic, so it's really difficult to make it work on Hermes.
If somone can write program, that is connected with screen rotating, when you slide keyboard, then maybe sound could work :)
But i don't thik, that waking up by sliding will be ever possible on Hermes

[etreby71]

edhaas,

I have a couple of technical questions I need to ask before using your Super D Lite.

1 - You mentioned that this version does not have the necessary RGU files and therefore cannot use with a kitchen like hypercore. Is this statement true even if I do not wish to do any changes to the ROM......just dump it and maybe add a few OEMS of my own and rebuild it again?

2 - When Bepe first introduced the concept of merging ext rom with the storage he only gave us the OS.nb file from which we can also extract the XIP using a kitchen like hypercore.
That means I can take your super d lite and dump it to get the OS.nb and from that extract the XIP as well. Then after that taking the complete OEM and SYS packages from another ROM lets say, Schaps 3.60a for that matter and then build my Rom. Would you say that this can work or it will cause major problems?

Thank you in advance.

[PAPPL]

I also want to know about this Rom MacDonald kitchen posted in first post. This one can cook ROMs with removd rgu's?
Can't find anything about Rom MacDonalds, google too.
Which kitchen is best (for ROM-stupids like me) for only removing apps/files from SuperD-Lite ROM v1.1 (or 1.2 if possible) and recompiling it again?
Is there a simple kitchen with a user interface where you can load a OS-nbh/nh and then say kick this and that and recompile to new-OS.nb(h)?

[mcorrie1121]

Hey ed, just a suggestion for ur roms.

There is the option of, by whatever method, enabling the rom to read ringtones off the storage card, when they used to have to be in the /windows/rings folder.

I noticed ur rom would not do that, while other roms have, so i dont know if it would be a big deal or anything. Its just an easy way to keep the windows folder down post flash.

[edhaas]

klabton: Thanks for the info. Doesn't appear I can make it work for the hermes.

etreby71:
1) That's correct. You could use Dopod-Lite 1.0 or 1.1 though.
2) I am not intimately familiar with Schap's rom, but from what I gather that may work. Good luck!

PAPPL: Sorry, I'll correct the first post, it should read RomDonalds kitchen, which is in this section. I'll correct the first post. As far as getting started in cooking, I'd suggest trying mattk_r's pandora kitchen. Then work up to working with a new os.nb like etreby71 is talking about. And when you do that, start with a stock rom or dopod v1.0. Good luck!

mcorrie1121: That's a registry tweek. I didn't burn it in, because often putting things like that on the storage card causes problems. (there is a delay in accessing the SD card when it first wakes up, and I was afraid it wouldn't find the ringtone in time.) But it may work for you! Something to tinker with! If you can't find the registry settings, post back or PM me and I'll find it.

Best wishes,

I don't think so. The 3.60 version is out there in the form of the T-Lite, which seems to be less popular than the D-Lite, although they function essentially the same. If I hear of some improvement in 3.61 I'll reconsider. Let me know if you hear of anything. (BTW, I thought you were running the T-Lite? That threads been very quiet lately, although the downloads keep going. ;))

[gerald_s]

After moving to Cairo for some months finally I had enough time to flash my hermes again. I tried the 4 MB PP superstorage one, after installing all my today addons and permanently running programs (BatteryStatus, Wisbar Advance, MobileShell and Claunch) and setting the glyph cache to 32768 kb I've 30,7 MB free Ram after a soft reset.

Again well done, Mr. Edhaas, congratulations for this rom.

[claymen]

I've had a weird issue lately, ive not been able to get the HSDPA working. I doubt its related to the rom but wondering if anyone else has had similair issues. I've tried 1.4x and 1.5x radio roms and also enabled it using the HTC Tweak with no luck. The standard 3g GPRS works fine but it wont switch to the high speed access when other phones around me will, mine is 838Pro and others are using the D810 without issues.

Its very random so any ideas would be great. I've confirmed im using the same access points as well.

[alancstan]

Edhaas,

Yup I am still running the T-Lite. Really quite over there, so hop over here to see-look see look! :)

[berwick]

hi i m a newbie in PPC, holding a X01HT
i m quite into this rom
but is that able to make into CHT (or CJK) support?
and do i need to back up the extend rom stuff when using super lite?
is there any file "HK ver specific"??

[gerald_s]

Now I tried for more than one hour to connect to my wireless lan router. The router is of course secured with a WPA-PSK key. I can connect with my notebook, but not with my Tytn although I'm using the same settings (WPA-PSK, TKIP).

So I tried to disable the security features and it worked. Back to WPA key - wrong key.

So whats wrong? Apparently my Tytn is sending the key somehow false, but why and what can I do to avoid this problem?

Is anybodey using a secured wireless connection with this rom?

This was the main reason for me to buy this device - to connect to a router to the internet and talk with my phone via skype while I'm abroad.
Well.
And I love gadgets like the Tytn :D

[dan13l]

It seems that Windows Mobile suffers from the same problem as it's older brother; namely that it gets slower the more you use it.

Any advice on things I can flush out to get back that freshly flashed feeling?

[edhaas]

Hi everyone, lots of questions for a change!

gerald_s: I use WPA PSK myself without any problem. I find if I use settings>connections>wifi>add new, rather than filling in the password when the connection "pops up" on its own, I have better success. If you continue to have a problem, try the 6mb page pool version. It does work! (You can restore a backup from the 4mb version over the 6mb version with no problem.)

claymen: Remember that the HSPDA icon is not active by default with this rom, even though it actually does use HSPDA. To activate the icon, use direct registry tweek or schaps configuration tool. (HTC Tweak seems to have issues with the superstorage thing.) My H icon activates fine. There were some early posts about this.

alancstan: Always nice to hear from you, but if you post in the T-Lite thread, it will "bump" it to the front and new folks can read about that rom again. ;) BTW, there's some interesting info for users of this rom in that thread also.

berwick: I'm pretty sure others have done that. Larsuck would know I would guess. You might try PM'ing him. Yes, you should back up the extended rom if there's anything in there you need before flashing the "Super" D-Lite. It will be gone afterwards.

dan13l: Yes, very true. Try sktools' "cleaner" functions. You can run the demo version over and over until all the accumulated bad registry entries are gone. Memmaid also does something like it. Afterwards, make a backup, then cold reset and restore from the backup. Of course the most effective way but also the most time-consuming is to cold reset, restore your pim info, then reload your apps. Try the other ones first!

natzakaria: I'll answer your PM here, as others may have similar questions: 1) concern about lack of standard games: Yes, thats a feature, not a bug. You can download cabs to restore the games if you wish. Check this thread. There are also even better versions of the games available.
2) HTC Audio Manager slows down windows directory listing: Apparently that is a known issue with that program. Probably the cab is built poorly, I'm not sure. However, I've tried it and it seems to work fine, unless you need to use file explorer on the windows directory a lot.:(

Best wishes everyone, nice to see some action around here! (I feel like the Maytag repair man sometimes.:rolleyes:)

[natzakaria]

Edhaas - can you point me to which cab you are using for the HTC Audio Manager

[larsuck]

@berwick - I have never tried Chinese support, but Japanese fonts and input work very smoothly on this ROM. Give your CHT or CJK support a try and see how it goes.

@edhaas - I noticed today that repllog.exe (bluetooth activesync) is not in my /windows folder. Is this something you took out, or something I accidentally deleted?

[berwick]

@larsuck just curious to ask, ur jap input an dfont is built into rom, or add as a app?

[larsuck]

Both are added as .cabs after installation.

Tried first as you suggested - same as before.
Then I installed 6 MB PP Rom, again the same. I think I give up, its not that important, if I'm at home I also have my laptop around.

[gerald_s]

@edhaas - I noticed today that repllog.exe (bluetooth activesync) is not in my /windows folder. Is this something you took out, or something I accidentally deleted?

Are you using 4 MB PP or 6?
I guess both roms are the same beside the pagepoolsize, I had a look in my windows directory, repllog.exe is there. Maybe you deleted it by mistake.

[larsuck]

I'm on 6mbpp. Cool. If you have it, then the necessary whosits and whatsits should be there if I just copy and run it.

Can you do a brother a favor and post it?

[gerald_s]

Sorry, can not copy it. As soon as I try to copy it with total commander to my sd card it says "Overwrite \storage card\repllpog.exe" although there is no such file on my card.

Searching a way to copy it from my device.

And I can not dump the nb file because of the superstorage rom size :(

Ok, finally I could dump repllog.exe from the 6 MB PP superstorage version, try if this one is working on your device. Its not zipped, rename the file from "repllog.exe.zip" to "repllog.exe".

[larsuck]

Thanks for going to all the trouble. I really appreciate it.

Wow! I wonder what else I am missing!:o

[gerald_s]

Thanks for going to all the trouble. I really appreciate it.

Wow! I wonder what else I am missing!:o

Your welcome.
I'm wondering how you managed to delete this file? :D

[edhaas]

natzakaria: I haven't used HTC Audio Manager in awhile. I think I was using a Wizard at the time. You may want to try a few versions to see if one works better than another. Or read some threads on them. Let us know if you come up with a definitive answer to recommend for others.

larsuck: Yes, the replog.exe is there. Something you installed may have "hidden" it though. A cold boot will restore it. Let us know if you figure out what app is responsible so we can avoid it!

gerald_s: Thanks for helping larsuck. You may also be stuck with doing a hard reset (aka cold boot), setting up the WiFi first, then installing things to find out what program is causing your problems. (Or, you can use your laptop as you say. Still, Skype is cool on the handheld, and works best over WiFi.)

As I've mentioned before, using a registry cleaning utility can help extend the time until hard resets, by getting rid of accumulated bad uninstalls and unwanted registry entries.

Best wishes guys,

[gerald_s]

@larsuck:

Did this file work for you? Did you find anything that you are missing on your hermes?

[larsuck]

Well, I rolled back my system state (using a previous backup) and, lo and behold, the file is there. So something I have done in the past 10 days is the culprit (a couple of cabs I installed to get auto bluetooth syncing going look fishy, but I wont spread any names until I know for sure).

Thanks everyone for helping me out with this.

[anak_design]

ed, I read some of the reviews for your rom and they sounds great. I've been using shap's but there are a few errors and the support aren't as great. So I'm wondering if your rom will work on my HTC TyTn/ Dopod 838Pro?

Concerning support:

well said!

[anak_design]

whoa!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean I expect manufacturer-kind-of-support. I'm just saying that when I asked in Schap's thread, I rarely get any replies and sometimes, the question got ignored. But here, I see that people are much more willing to answer, and Edhaas himself is actively answering people questions.

That's what I meant by "better-support"

apologize for the wrong use of word :P

anyway, since it's working on TyTn, I guess I'll give this rom a try :)

[edhaas]

larsuck: Did you get your bluetooth synching working? I don't use that and just want to make sure it works. I took out bluetooth HID support (keyboards, mice) in this rom, which I don't think will affect synching, but I'd be interested in knowing for sure. I know GPS and a2dp work fine of course. If you need to troubleshoot that issue, the T-Lite version has the HID stuff.

anak_design: Welcome aboard! I do try to do what I can to help people out here, but I'm very fortunate to have a great group of knowledgeable, active and supportive users. As you gain experience, I look forward to seeing you help out the next new guy! :)

alancstan: Thanks for helping.

gerald_s: Thanks for the comment. I know it wasn't meant as an attack; more passing on the knowledge. I'm glad to hear you got your WPA connection working!

kipe: Thanks for supporting gerald_s.

Best wishes everyone,

[larsuck]

Yep, bluetooth sync is running like a champ. I find it connects more reliably than usb.

[leepriestenator]

I've been searching for the perfect ROM for over 3 months now.... from the looks of it.... i've found it.

edhaas.... been following your work since the days of your ROM Squeezer. You've been mighty active here and I'm so glad you decided to start cooking.

I noticed you mentioned you've taken out the default Calculator app and the Transcriber. I use both of them extensively and I would appreciate it if you could point me to a tried and tested low mem usage calculator and some way to reactivate the Trasnscriber.

I intend to use your Super D-Lite ROM and I was wondering if the Java impediments will affect my use of Opera v8.60. Also is there a better version of Opera available?

Thanks and Best Regards... and keep up the good work.

Lee

Think I found the Transcriber @ http://wmblack.info/

That is the right one... correct?

[edhaas]

larsuck: Thanks for the info.

Lee: Thanks for the kind words. That transcriber cab is the one I am aware of, but there may be others out there. It should work fine. The calculator is a bit tricky. 1-Calc is mentioned by lots of folks, and the cab is floating around, but the company has protested its use. On the freeware sites there are others you might try (search PPC freeware). A nice "full bore" calculator is Neocal, but its not free. I wouldn't worry about resources with the calculator too much. Opera 8.60 works fine, but I really prefer Opera Mini. No current Java issues I'm aware of.

FYI folks, over 1,000 downloads of the various flavors of D-Lite and counting (not including the mirrors I can't track)! :p Still getting regular downloads of the earlier versions, which makes me glad I left them there.

Best wishes,

[gerald_s]

I noticed some days ago that my backlight is turning off after 7 seconds. As this is to less time to read a mail or whatever I changed the setting to 30 seconds. Everything was fine until the next softreset. So for me its obvious that something is changing (at least) this registry key at startup. Those files are loaded during the Windows start:

.) ciphase2.exe
.) ciphasegui.exe
.) coldinint.exe
.) connmgr.exe
.) device.exe
.) enAlarmPPC.lnk
.) gwes.exe
.) launcher.lnk
.) poutlook.lnk
.) services.exe
.) shell.exe
.) shell32.exe
.) TimeWizard.exe
.) WisbarLite.lnk

Most of this files are system files and apparently necessary.

launcher.lnk, WisbarLite.lnk, poutlook.lnk and enAlarmPPC.lnk are started via \Windows\startup

enAlarm, Wisbarlite and poutlook are not changing the registry settings, launcher.lnk is linking to \windows\launcher.exe"xx (xx means two strange characters looking like squares)

So I kindly ask you guys to have a look in your registry and/or in the \windows\startup folder if theres are the same files and above all: is there an entry "launcher.lnk"?

Edit: After writing this post I noticed that my device is switching off the backlight again after 7 seconds. Very strange.
Hmmmmmm. That means as soon as the registry is saved by windows itself (some seconds after going to sleep mode) its back to 7 seconds again.

[leepriestenator]

Thanks for that edhaas. I was just wondering how to get rid of the tray at the bottom of the screen with the comm manager icon and the battery icon. Most roms i've used till date have a link in the Startup folder of Windows ?(initxxxx)

Also what exactly is the Launcher in the startup folder for?

[edhaas]

gerald_s: I don't have a direct answer to your issue. I don't think the launcher.lnk is the problem. I'm currently running the T-Lite for the past few weeks, as I was helping people "shake down" that version. But I'll switch back to the Super D-Lite since we're getting more questions about it, and the T-Lite thread has been dead. Anyway, my 30 sec keyboard timeout registry settings are stable with soft-reset. Are you actually looking at the registry key to verify it's being reset? Also, troubleshoot with a hard reset (backup first!), then make your changes to the clean registry, then soft reset by holding down the power key for about 5 sec until the prompt comes up, and hit "yes". Then power up after a few seconds. Then check the registry. That will prove to you the settings are stable in the stock rom. :p Then it will be a question of figuring out what program is causing your problem. (enAlarmPPC or WisbarLite most likely) :(
Another possibility is that the storage memory buffers are full (don't ask me why). A soft reset as described above may be all you need to allow registry settings to "take" again.

leepriestinator: To be honest, I've forgotten how to remove the tray icons. I think its registry settings. There are apps which will replace/hide them. Wisbar and cpanel and Batterystatus and others. You may have to hunt and experiment, sorry. Fill us in when you find the solution. The launcher in the startup is not absolutely necessary, but seems to speed things up. ditto poutlook. You can try taking it out and you'll see what I mean. It takes up a little program memory, but seems worth it to me. There may be some problems running without it, but I don't remember exactly what they were if any.

Sorry if I seem a bit unresponsive here, I've been busy in "life" lately. :o Keep me posted!

Take care,

Of course I checked the registry entries, they are changed as soon as the device is saving the registry (softreset, power off, power save mode). I don't think that enAlarm or Wisbar are causing the problem, they were running before without issues on your roms. Maybe something went wrong after installing the backup from the 4 MB PP version. Or I cleaned the registry to much :D. I will do the next days a fresh install, then only synch the contacts and then I will install every day another app to see whether this problem is coming back or not. A long procedure but the most effective way of testing it really out.

Take your time, Edhaas, no need for you to find a solution, I'm sure I'll find the "troublemaker".

edhaas... no worries there. I know its in the registry... I was just being lazy. Figured you might know it and thought if I posed the question it might help the others as well. I'll find out about it keep you posted.

BTW... for those who are having problems with VC 1.6 regarding announcements or BT related issues... just PM me and I'll post the complete solution here. It works great with Super D-Lite. Thanks edhaas.

[edhaas]

leepriestinator: Looked up the registry entries to remove the tray icon:

Courtesy of meschle:

Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000

Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000

BTW, once I reloaded the Super D-Lite and my old backup I found I'd deleted the launcher.lnk from the startup folder, and of course everything works well. I put it back even though I don't notice much difference.

Best wishes,

[gerald_s]

I can remember that one of the cracks here mentioned once that, if you remove this icons, the device will be slowed down. No idea why.

BTW: After flashing the rom new and installing all my apps one by one my problem with the background light is gone. Maybe I cleaned the registry too much :D Guess I should try to reproduce this issue, I'm curios what change caused this problem.

[larsuck]

Yeah, there are those that say that the removal of the Wireless Manager Icon slows down the machine. I have never seen it myself, but then that doesn't mean it isn't true sometimes.

[dereknas]

Will there be any big impact for the Superlite version since the extended Rom is opened now and I believe software is sharing this space?

[gerald_s]

Its not sharing the space, its more space itself. There is no more extrom, theres only one larger program storage.

[dereknas]

Its not sharing the space, its more space itself. There is no more extrom, theres only one larger program storage.

Hi gerald_s, am I able to recover the space if let's say in future I would like to flash to other Roms?

[edhaas]

Hi Folks,

gerald_s: Glad the backlight issue got sorted. Thanks for helping out in the thread.

larsuck: I've been running without the icons for a few days. Doesn't seem to be a huge difference in speed, or enough for me to notice anyway.

dereknas: As gerald_s says, in the Super D-Lite (and T-Lite) the extended rom is gone, but you get more storage memory instead. (The other D-Lite flavors maintain the extended_rom.) The easiest way to undo it is probably to flash a "stock" carrier rom, and then the rom of your choice.

BTW, I recently ran in to the first situation where I actually needed my storage memory. The new version of Thompson's Handheld PDR no longer runs on storage cards: 23meg! I was grumpy about it, but it does run very smooth now. And there's still plenty of room left.

For those of you in the U.S., I hope you're enjoying your holiday. :)

[edward-riko]

Dear edhaas

can you do your cooking on the new ATT rom (OS 5.2.1622 18128.0.4.4)
will be nice to have it with big storage and the extended rom blend into the mane memory

i used your D-lite now using T-lite and will be waiting to ATT-lite

thank you
edward

[dereknas]

Hi edhaas,
So you mean that if I flash Super D-lite and later wanted to try other Roms, I would need to go through the hassle of installing back the stock Rom first before proceeding?

Thanks.

[schemer]

Hi edhaas,
So you mean that if I flash Super D-lite and later wanted to try other Roms, I would need to go through the hassle of installing back the stock Rom first before proceeding?

Thanks.

you can directly flash other custom roms but you won't find the ext rom when you wish to use it. in my case, i flashed mrvanx repackaged dopod to avoid reflashing the radio and it worked.

[edhaas]

Hi All,

edward-riko: I answered your question in the T-Lite thread where you originally posted. Nice to hear from you.

derenkas: Its about a 10 minute extra flash, :eek: so yes its a minor hassle. But why would you want to flash another rom after this one? :confused:

schemer: Thanks for helping out.

Hi edhaas,

I took your d-lite 6MB PP ROM as baserom for merging it with
Schaps 3.54b german to get a german superstorage rom.
Did this with Hypercore Kitchen.
As I just needed the os.nb and XIP folder and no .rgu files
for recooking I thought this should work...

OK... It worked and I have now as expected a german rom
with 72.21MB storage (68.22MB free). -> Superstorage !!

But I wonder why my first splashscreen shows 3.60 instead
of expected 3.54 for rom version?! Can you clarify? Is the
SuperD-LiteWM6Hermes6mbPP.rar based on 3.54 as 1.0 was
or is it 3.60 as it seems (must have missed this in the first post) ?

Best regards,
Oliaoglio

I believe this has been noticed and is kind of buried in the thread. Kipe noticed it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1485838&highlight=hybrid#post1485838
Also, there were some guys bitching on the forum earlier about there not being a stable German ROM out there. If you happen along that thread, you might want to share the one you made.

Yea, if someone wants to test my german superstorage rom,
no problem. I would just need some upload space... :o

Anybody can help out?

Olioaglio

edit:
@larsuck,
so according to edhaas' answer to kipe it seems not to be possible
to pimp a stock dopod 3.54 rom to superstorage with bepes instructions ??
So all current superstorage roms are hybrid builds with 3.60? Right?

Edhaas? Kipe? bepe? Can you bring some light into this?

Olioaglio

[edhaas]

larsuck: thanks again

Olioaglio: Yes, that is what I've seen. I sliced and diced bepe's instructions and rom, and thought I'd created a clean updated 3.54 version, but then kipe noticed I'd actually created a hybrid. I then tried various other methods of modifying xip's etc, and then got tired of playing with it, since the released version(s) turned out to be very stable anyway. I have since gotten some more ideas, but haven't been willing to commit several hours to disassembling and reassembling running binary comparisons, and rebuilding and reflashing to try them out. My feeling is that bepe left out some information, probably inadvertently, but since it works I'm not worrying about it for now.
Good job with your own "hybrid". I thought it would work for you! Claymen offered to host some files over on the T-Lite thread (check the last page). Rapidshare is based in Germany I think, and is the standard around here. They will let you open a free "collector" account which allows you to track the number of downloads as well.

I'm feeling a lot of pressure to do a new build, but am hesitant given the lackluster response to the T-Lite compared to this build. Can anyone say if MMS or the Java in the new build is better? There's also the issue of whether to strip the PTT code or just make it selectable (more complexity, and difficult to troubleshoot as I don't need or want to subscribe to PTT. (it's ATT specific anyway) I would also strip the bloated animated start-up. Then there's the maintenance of a new thread. I think I'm talking myself out of it, but then I said that about the T-Mobile build and I ended up doing one anyway.
Beyond the effort, I also just don't think its likely to be any "better" a rom than this one!

[claymen]

If you want me to host some files drop me an email through the forums, I'm at work so cant spend my entire day trawling the forums (as much as i'd like to ;)) but yer i dont mind chucking files on my hosting, rapidshare annoys me due to the limitations of one download per x hours, when your trying to download a bunch of roms to try it makes it very painful.

[Olioaglio]

edhaas,
thanks a lot for congrats, but unfortunately my created superstorage hybrid rom (at least for me) did not work as expected :(
Unless I have a lot of free space and german UI, I have the problem,
that for any reason the rom seems extremely unstable. To me it seems, that
the melted extended space is getting corrupted by IMGFS files or whatever
after some installations and/or playing around. This results in sudden hangs
and after softreset the device doesn't boot up anymore (hangs on first screen)
or come up with corrupted start menu and/or missing files popups and so on.
Every time hardreset is needed. On the other hand, if I build a rom with just
optimized space /wo extended rom (~62MB instead of 72MB storage)
according to tadzios instructions the rom is 100% stable in any way.
Maybe is just my extended rom area a bit of corrupted, since I had major
issues with installing apps or data in it even with earlier builds like the
Schaps ones. So I would be VERY happy if someone could check my
superstorage rom out and report whether it is really unstable :confused: or my
device memory just sucks. :eek:

Messing arround since days and spent a lot of hours on this, but I tend
to give up now. The problem on the existing 3.6x roms with melted ext rom
is, that they are all just WWE versions, and no one did mess around anymore
with translating muis like Schaps did with his 3.57a and 3.54b builds.

@claymen,
thanks, I sent you email :cool:

Olioaglio

EDIT:
Turned out, that the rom is stable!! Just having flash memory issues
with MY own device which caused the troubles.

[clausg]

Dear Edhaas,

Also from my side: big thanks for that extremely lean and stable version. I have loaded really a lot of apps and since now, it has not given me any stability issue.

Especially my Blackberry client, the BBC 4.0.0.90 (known to be resource hungry and to give the system a good amount of instability) works like a charm on this ROM. This should be one of the very recommended ROMs for Blackberry: big storage (as BBC needs a lot!) and stable.

So far, I have not seen any issue with A2DP, WiFi or BT.

[a8yss]

i already tried 2 type of dlite 4mb pagepool and 6mb page pool. both give me same result, after instaling tons of aplication and game. it can suddenly reboot and hang before it reach windows screen. the only way to fix it only to hard reset. how to fix it, really want to make this rom work becoz i can instal everything that i want :(

regards

my hardware are
Dopod 838 pro

[edhaas]

clausig: Thanks for the comment! I'm happy to hear the rom works well with Blackberry. Enjoy.

a8yss: Fill me in on some more details. Which apps are you loading? Could one or more of the apps be conflicting with each other? How much storage memory do you have left when you start having problems? Stick with the 6mb version until you've got everything working.

Also, I tried a few of the newer radio roms (1.54, and 1.51) and had issues with them and my carrier (ATT). 1.50 and below seem to work well though. Anyone else have problems?

Best wishes,

[venelar]

It's been over a month and i finally found an issue with this rom.

When in the outlook inbox, after i have viewed then closed an email, the d-pad no longer scrolls through the emails. Touch screen works fine..just no d-pad.

overall though, this is hands down the best rom i've used to date.

I don't have that issue with D-Lite. How do you close the email: with the regular okay button (stylus) or with the okay hardware button? Do you use htc button? I remember I had the same issue with a different ROM while using AEBPlus.

Hi All,
Things have been their usual quiet here, which again is a good thing...

after awhile all rom are crash, but if use rom with no superstorage rom are ok, strange

i use both of ur rom for testing 4mp pool and 6mb pool.

[larsuck]

Olioaglio pointed out to me that some Hermes devices have bad blocks in their extROM, which could cause problems such as yours, i.e. problems with superstorage ROMs but not with regular roms (which apparently don't actively use the extROM).

This situation is really a bummer, because although it is probably due to defective hardware, the only way to discover said defecive hardware is to install an unsupported ROM. Catch 22.

PS, did you try Hypercore's Second Edition (SE) ROM?

[a8yss]

larsuck
yeah just read it, he made release candidate 2 alraedy isnt..

have u got similar problem like me, and tried Hypercore's Second Edition (SE) ROM?? if not, i better wait, instaling all the application make me sick haha

[larsuck]

Well, no actually ab8ss, I don't have any problem at all. I am using SuperD-Lite and loving it for months now. Try Hypercore's SE, I haven't read through the thead, but he seems to have made it in a different way. Perhaps it will fix your problem.
