I'm honored Jose included me on this project, though I'm really just along for the ride. HE does all the work, I just critique, ehehehe!

Glad to have you back cooking brother, has been a LONG year since we did the Crossbow project!

Is this one really stable? I've tried shadow's new 6.1 roms... but there were some really unexpected hrs and stuffs like that...
If you say its rock stable, i promise i will flash it tomorrow

[kareeem]

I hope it works well with voice command and doesn't lag!

this is not my first rom;)

[kareeem]

Of course not, i've tried your wizard rom but that was a while ago. It's 78 percent dl and i hope it doesn't lag as much as the rom i have now. VC also doesn't work well with the rom i currently have.

When selected in System\Settings, you get an error message saying "BTICon.exe -target file does not exist." However when you OK out of the popup, you are taken to startup manager (looks like Windows\Startup). I have not tried any options there.

Looks good and solid otherwise, so far...

Looks good and solid otherwise, so far... its a coding error, forgot to remove it... i will post a fix later...thanks for the feed back.

meanwhile delete the bticon.exe from the startup folder then go to windows and create a shortcut to the the startup folder from bticon.exe.

[mcfarlan]

Hi Faria,

Glad to see this cooked in since it is one of my 'must have' apps. Is there a way to change the default for placing a call from the handset to the BT headset? Of all the 6.1 ROMs I tried, CRC's is the only one so far that has allowed that functionality.

Thanks

That got rid of the error message. Overall impression is very good. I am using the 10MB pp and it is really quick. The cooked in apps that I use all work well. Will begin loading my apps and post if any problems.

[kareeem]

I must say, the most stable rom i've flashed on the hermes yet. Definitely staying with this one for now :D

[Anant]

Downloading now will post feedback later after flashing. What pagepool is recommended the default 6mb or 10mb? please advice before flashing.

[faria]

:DDownloading now will post feedback later after flashing. What pagepool is recommended the default 6mb or 10mb? please advice before flashing.
if you gonna load loads of apps i recommend 6mb but if u dont then change the page pool to 10....that my personal favorite.

i belive DR. P has a solution for that...i will post it when he gets home.

[kareeem]

Okay, this seems to be a hermes problem, not a rom issue. Of all the roms i had, when i have a lot of icons in the programs folder or the games folder and i scroll using the scrolley, the phone lags a lot and takes a bit for the icons to load. Is that regular? Should i just minimize the number of icons used?

ps. in this rom, are you able to hear incoming calls from your headset or do we have to manually configure that?

[faria]

see u later guys..2:00 am here...dr.p will take over in a while.

loads of those icons would n be linked to apps in the storage card by any change?

my headset beeps when i call comes tru...is that what u mean?

[Silverexp]

Welcome back… I’ve always been impressed with your ROMs. I had to retire my Hermes (Wizard too) and just moved over to a Kaiser. I’ll have to dust off the Hermes for one more flash tonight… any chance of Kaiser ROM?

[hamster0914]

Good to see you back Faria!

Can anyone confirm if the announcements are coming through the Bluetooth headset with VC on this ROM?

[mcfarlan]

You hear incoming calls fine through the headset. VC incoming calls announcement and placing calls are through the speaker...

[kareeem]

Yes faria, in fact almost all of these apps are on the storage card. And what i meant by the voice command thing was that if it will announce who is calling?

[danik_iceman]

Welcome back, Faria!!!
So glad to smell your cooking again. I've missed it :)
I still think that your "The Real Thing" Rom was the best rom ever for wizard.


Mmm...I wonder if we could get some more description of the rom with the possible fixes made and apps cooked. Eventhough I am gonna flash it right now anyways since I know the quality of your roms and apps you choose to cook in...:)

[faria]

Yes faria, in fact almost all of these apps are on the storage card. And what i meant by the voice command thing was that if it will announce who is calling?

most of the time the storage card goes into power save mode so i takes longer to load because it has to wake up...another factor is how fast it is your card speed....your problem is the apps in the card that i can assure u.

i would format my card and try again.

as for the othe question some one posted the answer above

[hamster0914]

So the 'speak notifications only using handsfree' doesn't work?

I know it seems to be a VC vs. WM6/6.1 problem, but I've heard some 6.1 ROMs have that function working now.

[Anant]

First impression!!!! EXCELLENT. Will use it for a day and report again.
Thank you faria. We missed you a lot in the past. By the way I changed the pagepool to 12mb before flashing. Let's see how it works.

i had it working in a unreleased wm6.1 build ,i will look into it.

[kareeem]

Yea i think it's the card as well. If i undo the power saving mode, will it help?

[MrDSL]

wow I really like this ROM so far. Haven't run into any problems so far except vc not working with my headset.

faria I sent you a PM to the vc 1.6 version I use and it always works with no hacks with every 6.0/6.1 ROM I have installed except shadow ce..

[elivne]

It's an AMAZING rom, very very fast(and just today I installed 3 other versions of 6.1 for speed checking).

faria - you are by far the best cook, I checked my usual tweaks(for instance 256K buffer for the SD card) most of my tweaks were not there! you made the rom faster and I don't know how - not to mentions it has all the essential stuff that slows down the system.

I bet your lite ver will give the best benchmark we got.

[Pumpiron579]

Just set everything up, ran all the programs to make sure they worked and used the stylus to reset the phone...guess what, it hard reset.

[hamster0914]

I've installed a number of programs, synced with Exchange no probs, and done several stylus resets, but no unplanned hard resets so far.

[tora201]

Anyone got a mirror for this? Can't stand rapidshare telling me I can't download, when I haven't even downloaded anything today.

[swolfman]

Hi
I tried the link in the first post pointing to:

[notyourdaddy]

it just takes a minute to load. its all the screenshots and description

[notyourdaddy]

my phone appears to be stuck in permanent roaming mode after flashing this rom. I've tried reapplying my carrier's settings and it doesn't help

definitely fast rom though

I had experienced the same problem on many other roms but this so far.
It may hapens on some certain softwares. :o

Not so easy: my IE give me finally empty page only.
But here is very easy workaround: download the .mht file and view it after that. With all screenshots, description and link :)

can anyone please upload it to anyplace other than rapid or megaupload?

Hey Pumpiron,

I see this has been happening to you often. I experienced it with Storm but none of the others. I use WA3/WAD a lot and soft reset often to reclaim RAM and no problems. Maybe a hardware issue on your device? I have played with this ROM since it was released and except for the 2 issues already note, it is rock solid...

[mcfarlan]

Would you consider making this installable by cab rather than cooking it in? Creates unhandled exception errors and soft resets when it is cooked in and WA3 is installed.

Thanks.

[MrDSL]

Well I flashed this last night and my phone won't wake up. WHen I try and call it doesn't ring or anything. The lights flash like its on I just can't get the screen to wake up.

I had to take the battery out and restart ..


Hmmm now its stuck at the smart mobiliy startup screen and won't go past that..Not good I've never had this problem before.

(lol i sound like a broken record with this reply as of late but...)

Try checking the NAND for bad blocks (info 8) ...... and if there are any (there should be 3 on a fully working device) clear them with 'task 2a'.

Im not sure if this is occurring more recently or just a coincidence but do give it a go anyway.

[Yod-b]

no 1 is forcing you:D
thanks faria... i cant wait to finish work and get home :D
you mentionad loading programs when talked about pp... if i usually run three-four apps and i have lots of today plug-ins, what do you recommend?

[jocool]

Welcome back!!!! Really missed your ROM's, and had to settle for second best in recent times.
Looking forward to flashing and returning feedback.

I'm looking for info on what your talking about but can't find it yet. Do you have a link where I can read about this?

So far I just hard reset and we'll see how it goes..

[mrvanx]

Well just fire up mtty, put your device in bootloader mode.....hook it up and run the command 'info 8' this will check the device for bad blocks.......then if there are any (as i said before there is usually 3 there on a perfectly functioning device) then run 'task 2a' and see if it fixes them.

This is just a guess based on the dodgy behaviour of the device since i figure Farias rom would have claimed alot more casualties in this manner if there was actually something wrong with it.

Thanks will do when I get home since I can't connect my phone to my work pc..

hey thanks! i missed this one in reading through the posts. hehe

[fuzzvirus]

I am waiting for a mirror too. Anybody?

[MrDSL]

I installed the working vc 1.6 version over the one that comes with the ROM and so far my bt headset works fine..

Hopefully you can replace the working one with the one thats currently cooked in.

[Dr Puttingham]

The only way to make this work is with the BTVoiceCommand file. It's included in the MSV 1.6 cab that you guys are installing which is why it works. Jose's MSV version is newer and doesn't include that file and the necessary reg changes. This will (I expect) be resolved in the next release as I also depend heavily on MSV and miss the BT functionality.
The WIKI covers this here, look for the How to make Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 work (WM5 & WM6 tested!). (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Utils) section. Also covered here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283412&page=7)

[Dr Puttingham]

Mirror added, Post #4

[DvTonder]

This is a great rom, thank you - really fast and stable.

I have noticed one bug though - the power/battery icon shows up in the dialpad top right corner after the 2nd time the dialpad is opened.

Great work tough - donation coming later today.

[Pumpiron579]

Hey Pumpiron,

I see this has been happening to you often. I experienced it with Storm but none of the others. I use WA3/WAD a lot and soft reset often to reclaim RAM and no problems. Maybe a hardware issue on your device? I have played with this ROM since it was released and except for the 2 issues already note, it is rock solid...

No, it is not a Hardware problem. It does not Happen with WM 6 roms, Just with a few 6.1 Roms.
I put on the same software, Sirius, Google Maps, Live Search, sync to my PC, set the Keyboard to 263177 and in this rom, fixed the M$ Voice Command. After I set up all my apps and pair my Headsets, Cars Handsfree, the last thing I do is check what the memory is at, most of the Time it is at around 11%. So I allways use the stylus to reset the phone and want to see what the memory is at after a reboot. Schaps and Pays WM 6.1 roms I have had no problems with, No Hard Resets, But this one, Shadow TE and Randomize roms, It hard Resets itself when I use the styus to reset the phone..... I just Flashed back to Shaps 440 Beta again and loaded up all my apps and reset it with the stylus and it did not Hard Reset??
I ruled out a Hardware issue.

[slavik]

Great work guys, thank you.
This rom is the best of all i tried so far.

[Anant]

I have found one problem that if I activate dialpad for say call history of for dialling a number, even though after the call I close the application, it remains in the memory.
You can check this in the system's Task Manager, Application and there probably one or two entries in the memory for phone which you cannot forceibly close also.
It needs to be softrest to get it off. Immediatly after soft reset if you check the task manager that entries are not there. You can check it out.
Any solutions?

[Anant]

Also with VC, even after pairing the BT set ( I am using Jabra 8010 with A2DP profile on) the phone selected tunes through the speaker only but on one or two occassions the name of the caller was correctly announced through BT headset. But on a couple of occassions it didi not annouce through the BT set. So it is randomly intermittent for me. However the call is correctly transferred to the BT set while the incoming call as also with the outgoing calls.

[fuzzvirus]

@Pumpiron579 and others who had hard reset
Here are few of my observations
1 . I have noticed that whenever there is cooked ROM without extended rom, I got some problem if I am coming from 6.0. Also sometimes partial hard reset.
2. Changing a few parameter using Schaps Advance config tool can create this issue
3. Restore backup from previously rom can also mess up like restore files using PIM backup or restore HTC Home customizer.
4. There are changes in the registry structure. So be careful before putting any hack. I had some problem after deleting keys from HKLM\Services

If you are having regular resets, get K's 6.0 full final rom and flash it and then try Shadow TE or Faria& Dr. P. I can assure you everything will be smooth.

Whatever I have described above are my experience and I tried almost all the 6.1 ROM. I flash regularly :)

[Pumpiron579]

Thanks for the advice but, I am not comming from any 6.0 rom, I do not use or even open Schaps Advance config tool,
The only registry change I make is to the Keyboard and that is with the registry editor.
I have never used anything to Restore a backup nor do I use PIM.I never have regular Hard Resets, just with Farias, Randomize, and the Shadow TE.
When I think I need a good base to start with, I use the Rom that has the
Radio that I want to use, in this case it has been the OEM Telstra I-Mate rom.
I can reset with the stylus all day with Schaps and Pays WM 6.1 roms and any wm 6.0 roms, it is just these three that has this problem.

[MrDSL]

Mine locked up browsing the internet and had to remove the battery and stuck at htc startup screen again so I had to hard reset again.

I have used many many ROM's and just about every 6.1 ROM thats been released so far and this hasn't happened before.

I suspect schaps config tool might be causing issues so I'm gonna avoid using it and try something else and see if that helps..

[duke_stix]

so, so far, faria has once again delivered a rock solid rom?!
the replies I've been reading through the past 10 minutes seem to mainly be due to to software issues with respect to third party add-ons.

time to flash methinks!

Have you tried going to schapps forum for advanced config and get the latest one? I have used/tested all the 6.1 roms for 8525 except this one and have had no problems.. I'm definatly gonna check this one out but i'm thinking i'm gonna hang out till the light rom is released.

Up to your usual (quality) standards I think.

Despite an excellent start I had been having problems with the threaded SMS on Randomize' wm6.1 rom's.

Nice 2 c u back

I had this problem too but had not edited the registry with Schap's config or anything else. I had Cloudyfa's Shadow 2.0 TE installed for a few days but flashed this one this afternoon, and had it freeze up whilst browsing on the train this evening.

[faria]

guys rest assured that im taking this issues on board.... please also give a bit of leway as i been out of the loop for a while....the clean rom will be sligtly delayed because of this issues, after i fix them them a will public test/release updated versions.

[etreby71]

Faria,
Thanks for a solid ROM.

I have just a few comments which are really cosmetic should you wish to fix in your next release:

1 - The battery icon at the title bar is the old style. There is a new one that shows the % power left. Maybe you want to have a look at that. I do like your own made 3G icon.

2 - I cannot get rid of the bluetooth or the xpshut icon at the bottom tray. I guess you can do that through registry fix but I don't know how.

Other than that things seem to be fine.

[Pumpiron579]

what changes did you make?

are those roms big storage too?

Schaps wm6.1 Beta 440 works fine and is not big storage as Pays Beta and Final roms are big storage and I have not had any problem with the Stylus Reset.
Randomize hard resets when I use the stylus and is Big Storage as Shadow te and yours are not big Storage roms and hard resets when I go to use the stylus.
The only change I made was to the KeyBoard Qwerty, I used the registry editor and changed it too "263177". I also used wpbears AT&T cab to set up my AT&T settings and it resets itself after it installs, but it did not Hard Reset. the only time it hard reset is when I use the stylus.

[ndelahun]

I just had the same problem. I had just installed new phone skin pressed to softy reset and it did a hard reset on me( I have installed same phone skin cab on many other rom's and it has worked)

[chrisryn]

Well I flashed this last night and my phone won't wake up. WHen I try and call it doesn't ring or anything. The lights flash like its on I just can't get the screen to wake up.

Hmmm now its stuck at the smart mobiliy startup screen and won't go past that..Not good I've never had this problem before.



This happened to me also flashed last night. Took forever to boot, woke up this morning no issues. When to lunch and phone would not wake up soft reset stuck at white htc screen. Hard reset very slowboot. Canceled the auto config. Haven't had the wake up problem again. I don't know if its a hardware issue or not but it is slow. I am going to redownload and flash right now. I will post what the outcome is.

Also vc and bluetooth a no go. Only thing I get through bluetooth is the call can't even give vc commands through headset.

[ai6908]

Welcome BACK Faria!! ROM is snappy and thanks for it. Are you planning on releasing a kitchen too along with the lite ROM?

[uiskibum]

So far this rom has been working great for me. Very fast and no issues. One question though, how do we adjust the pagepool of the rom?

[venelar]

here you go

[Slammin]

Wow!


Not that all the other 6.1 ROM's were sucky, and I really thought CRC's was going to be my last flash, but I just took a chance and flashed this one and, yes, very pleased!

Great work!

And yes, I am a newb, but I have flashed just about every ROM since I got this phone :D

This one is FAST, though I did set pagepool to 10mb (I'd always set, or maked sure it was set to 6mb before) and the only issue, which actually isn't an issue so I will call it 'different', is that when using my BT headset, though I get callerID announcement in the headset, my phone itself still vibrates and plays the ringtone at the same time.

Never had that before with any 6.0 or 6.1 ROM, but again, I actually kind of like it this way. It does not announce the caller over the phone, so that is good, but having an incoming ring indication with both headset and the phone is actually a very good thing for me because sometimes I am not wearing my headset, though I am still paired and BT is enabled on the phone.

Installed SPB Shell and SPD Pocket Plus so far, still installing other goodies, but so far, so good.

Great ROM!

[hamster0914]

Wow!
when using my BT headset, though I get callerID announcement in the headset, my phone itself still vibrates and plays the ringtone at the same time.Hey Slammin, I assume you're using MS VC? Did you need to apply the hacks to get the caller announcement through the headset, or did it just work for you?

[Karzi]

Welcome Back Faria
Glad to see your back!
Will be trying this rom :)

[nanastas]

okay- I was REALLY happy with CRC's rom. it was really solid.
This one is just as solid, and I've got about 20mb more Storage RAM at my disposal.
All the same installations, except that most are cooked in now.
Everything's working great- top notch job guys.

[Slammin]

Hey Slammin, I assume you're using MS VC? Did you need to apply the hacks to get the caller announcement through the headset, or did it just work for you?



Yes, I always, out of habit I guess, install MS VC. I did not install any relating BT hacks though I did tweak the bitpool settings a bit to stop the dropouts when playing music.

Don't forget to go into the VC options and select the 'announce incoming calls' option. It's off by default.

In JBED, both gmail and opera 4 are always asking for permission. I tried selector.utf tricks. none worked. Can anybody help?

[MrDSL]

This is still my favorite ROM but now my touch screen just stopped working so I can't unlock my phone haha..

[raix]

Thx! I'm gonna flash it right now!

[mcfarlan]

I received one voicemail and the system notification has not gone away. After listening to the voice mail, the notification remains active and even after I select the dismiss softkey, does not go away. Keeps reminding me I have voicemail when i don't.


Edit: Interesting that I tried a hard reset and it is still there. Could it be a network issue?

[faria]

Schaps wm6.1 Beta 440 works fine and is not big storage as Pays Beta and Final roms are big storage and I have not had any problem with the Stylus Reset.
Randomize hard resets when I use the stylus and is Big Storage as Shadow te and yours are not big Storage roms and hard resets when I go to use the stylus.
The only change I made was to the KeyBoard Qwerty, I used the registry editor and changed it too "263177". I also used wpbears AT&T cab to set up my AT&T settings and it resets itself after it installs, but it did not Hard Reset. the only time it hard reset is when I use the stylus.mine is big storage...this never happent to me .i tried to recreate it but my device never does hard reset. but never the less the issue is very serious.and im trying to figure it out.

Faria,
Thanks for a solid ROM.

I have just a few comments which are really cosmetic should you wish to fix in your next release:

1 - The battery icon at the title bar is the old style. There is a new one that shows the % power left. Maybe you want to have a look at that. I do like your own made 3G icon.

2 - I cannot get rid of the bluetooth or the xpshut icon at the bottom tray. I guess you can do that through registry fix but I don't know how.

Other than that things seem to be fine.

bticon.... delete from the starup folder..
reset app ,go to windows and launch phm_traylnch.exe ,delete the entry..

This is still my favorite ROM but now my touch screen just stopped working so I can't unlock my phone haha..can you access the phone tru activesinc? if you do i can tell you how to access the registry...then i will send you the calibration data.

[ljinsane]

I click the link to get the rom and I get this:

never mind ...figured it out

This happens to me sometimes when I get a voice mail with my SIM card in one phone
but switch it to another phone before I listen to and clear the voice mail. To fix it, I
just call my phone and leave a new voice mail. Then when I listen to the one I just
left it clears the system notice. I don't know why the phones do it but this happened
to me with both WM PPC phones and the standard cheap phones. But the fix works for
both types. At least for me it does.

[uiskibum]

Hi All

Long time since i last posted but i had to now Faria is Back,
Flashed the rom but after a while i just get no sound at all and it needs a soft reset,
if i soft reset it more than 3 times it hard resets for some reason?

only apps i installed myself are TomTom and S2U2...

Any help regarding sound would be much appriciated as i really like Faria's Roms

Keep up the good work Faria And Dr P

Kind Regards
Nic

[raix]

I am running S2U2 0.99c.

Just came home, wanted to sync my device back with outlook in order to get my data restored...second freeze....not booting up any more, seems that the next Hard-Reset is needed.

Is it possible that WinMob 6.1 is a big load of crap?

This is the 5. Hard-Reset during the last 2 days!

[unicorn78]

Just set everything up, ran all the programs to make sure they worked and used the stylus to reset the phone...guess what, it hard reset.

I sure you have problems with your hardware, I flashed most of ROMs you installed, but I didn't encounter this although I installed tons of softwares and soft-reset dozens of times. It could be a bug of some series, I use Hermes200.

[the archer]

Just want to say create ROM, many thanks. Been using it for 24 hours with tomtom, Pocket informat 8, S2U 0.99C, SPB weather. No resets required yet, the only issue is i can not get Pocket CM as my default contacts manager even though it is set in the registry

Oh never mind. Have had some major lock-up/freezing/slowdown issues with this rom. I guess WM6.1 is tougher to make than WM6...at least a stable and fast one.

Going back to Schaps WM6.1 beta. That worked pretty flawlessly so far. But I do have faith in Farias work. He made the best ROM I've used (can't remember which WM version tho).

No, it is not a Hardware problem. It does not Happen with WM 6 roms, Just with a few 6.1 Roms.
I put on the same software, Sirius, Google Maps, Live Search, sync to my PC, set the Keyboard to 263177 and in this rom, fixed the M$ Voice Command. After I set up all my apps and pair my Headsets, Cars Handsfree, the last thing I do is check what the memory is at, most of the Time it is at around 11%. So I allways use the stylus to reset the phone and want to see what the memory is at after a reboot. Schaps and Pays WM 6.1 roms I have had no problems with, No Hard Resets, But this one, Shadow TE and Randomize roms, It hard Resets itself when I use the styus to reset the phone..... I just Flashed back to Shaps 440 Beta again and loaded up all my apps and reset it with the stylus and it did not Hard Reset??
I ruled out a Hardware issue.

Should all new development stop because you are experiencing an issue that seems nobody else is experiencing?

Dude, just RMA your phone, or don't run ROM's that cause you problems. What's the big deal here?


Really, I do feel your pain, I think, but still, why bother with something that does not work for you when you already have something that does work for you? Granted, you should be able to enjpy this particular ROM as must as myself, but have you ever heard of Windows?

When it comes to hardware/firmware/software, and Windows, all bets are off. But I bet you already know, and have experienced that. Again.

Not to minimize your situation, as I support Secure Mobile device Communications for a living, and in this case, I'd sooner send you a new device rather than try to figure why your device is so 'different'.


Fix what?

SlamminDude, chill...... Now you are talking nonsense....Just reporting bugs, Called Feedback, Beta Testing..... helps the cooks produce a better roms..... If you read the forum, this has happened to other people running wm 6.1. roms as well.

I do this as a hobby. I have a Sony Ericsson P990i that I use for my Business.

I never asked you to try and figure out why this happens to my device? Faria is a Legand and if any cook will figure out why these wm 6.1 roms Hard reset, He will be the one.
Hey, but I am up for you sending me a new Device:) I could add a few more, I will settle for a Kaiser or an Elf, But I really have my eyes an an Athena.

What did you mean in the link page with this statement?

clean rom coming tomorow

[Dr Puttingham]

I agree with you, you posting your experiences with this ROM is the best way Jose can hope to resolve. I had similar issues with my friend Matt's big storage ROM's in that they would spontaneous hard reset for no reason or when soft resetting. (And I like Matt's ROM's, nice and clean and fast) I suspect it has to do with the way the extended ROM is merged into main memory. I've had no such issues with this ROM... but yesterday, for no reason, my email notification, which is Alarm 3 and Vibrate and flash lite suddenly I had no audible notification and my phone was doing a steady (like 30 seconds at least) vibrate, like a angry bee... most odd. A soft reset and it works fine now.

I know you flash official ROM (as do I, before each different flash when possible) Are you HardSPL'ing and have you tested for bad blocks? BTW, which official ROM are you flashing?

[kipe]

Dr. P, when can we expect the clean ROM bro? ..looking forward to that.. great job anyway, for faria & you on this.. cheers!

Dr P, I have done both. No bad Blocks. I flash the Telsta I-Mate wm 6.0 and reset the rom just before it loads up the ext rom. . I was using AT&T's offical before I flashed a new rom but I get better radio reception and it find the 3G network faster with Radio 1.54.30.10 .

From post #92:

"bticon.... delete from the starup folder..
reset app ,go to windows and launch phm_traylnch.exe ,delete the entry.."



What that say's is that you need to use File Explorer and go into your Windows dir and launch phm_traylnch.exe. You can configure that app to remember what you have deleted and I would suggest you do that first.

Fot the bticon, I had to use Total Commander to rename it to an invalid extention (.ex_ instead of .exe) reboot, go past the file not found dialog, or whatever it was, the go back in and actually delete the renamed file from the startup folder.

Kareem, I totally feel your pain with the scroll thingy, but do you really think this ROM's thread is the place to bring it up again, and again, and again? One reason many people don't read ROM threads here at XDA is because there is so much in the threads that has almost nothing do to with the ROMs. Then because they don't read the threads, they ask a question which has already been answered multiple times. This in turn leads to more bloat on the thread, which leads to fewer people willing to read through it, and in time will completely unravel the fabric of civilization.

BTW, Schap's advanced config should help you get the battery and comm manager off of your tray. But god help you if you have the commmanager button manner-mode setting enabled.

Believe me, i'm 99.9% sure i'm not the only one with this question. I also have no idea what you mean with the manner-mode thing. Anyways, i fixed it.

[venelar]

what he means is if you press and hold the comm button to put the phone into vibrate an icon will appear in the sys tray.

unzip this and drop the file into /windows, overwrite the original and you can have an "iconless" manner mode.

unzip this and drop the file into /windows, overwrite the original and you can have an "iconless" manner mode.The "iconless" mannermode is already there, was one of my many initial suggestions.

So... I ended the BTIcon task with Task manager and then deleted from \Startup (I love that little app!) Then I deleted phm_traylnch.exe, disabled Power and Wireless icon with Advanced Config and voila! (and I am in vibrate mode...)

Hi,

I have been using this ROM since last week and it is very fast and very stable.
I have one main issue which is really bothering me, and did not happen with other 6.1 ROM's that I tried which is battery drain. I get to 20% in the afternoon. This has not happened to me for a very long time since the old and bad radio ROM's.
I don't have anything installed on the phone except for push email.
My radio ROM is the latest 1.50.3
Does it happen to anybody else?

Hi, been running this ROM for 2 days now, I really like this Rom but am experiencing bad memory leaks. After all my regular apps are installed & a SR I get 23Mb which inflates to 24 something after Oxios. Without running any apps my mem will drop to between 17-18Mb within 3hrs. Anyone else noticing bad memory loss?

I installed Battery Status & WkTask, could this be the cause? I had setup my Tytn exactly like this through all my various WM6.0 Rom's & have never had mem leaks this bad yet. This is my 1st WM6.1 flash, guess I'll have to try other 6.1ROM's to see if this happens there too!

Also, I've had to SR my device 3 times today because it frozeup while using File Explorer. No response to any hardware buttons, even power off nor screen taps. Only SR would help.

[kareeem]

Anybody know where the voice command installation directory is? I need to replace the 4 files so that i can get the announcement of incoming calls through the headset. Thanks

[hamster0914]

Anyone else noticing bad memory loss?I've noticed this on all the 6.1 ROMs I've used so far (pretty much all of them), so its not just Faria's.

Re MS Voice, save yourselves the trouble, Post #3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336908) on It's Right's thread

As for the mem leak, I myself have come to the conclusion that it's possibly the Kaiser DialSkin. I went back to my PaulyA big button dialskin (as I hate SmartDialing) and it seems much better (for me at least)

These are my observations based on my experiences, is all.

That link is to the Microsoft Voice Command, which is include with faria rom already, so is there anyway I could direct audio and things to my bluetooth instead of internal speaker on Faria rom.

I'm running another ROM right now but getting ready to flash back to this one again, but if I remember, I did install the cab anyway and all BT functions and announcements worked with my Jabra 8010, but before flashing the cab, the remote control functions worked, but the audio would only come through the phone and not the headset.

[Visini]

So it already has the fix to announce calls? If no, can somebody please post it here?

To my knowledge (after months of searching) there is no fix for e-mail notifications over bluetooth on Hermes with WM6. It is my understanding it has to do with the BT stack used in WM6 and how it works with Hermes. However, if you have a BT headset with A2DP profile, it will work. See this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308247&page=4

I just ordered the Jabra BT8010, since I can use just one of the earpieces and it will give me my e-mail notifications. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, however that thread seems for a different ROM: Lswv or something like that. I think i've tried the attatchment posted in the OP but didn't help.

[hamster0914]

Thanks for the reply, however that thread seems for a different ROM: Lswv or something like that. I think i've tried the attatchment posted in the OP but didn't help.That thread also works with any other ROM, I used it to get VC working correctly on Faria's first version of this ROM, but it seems you will need an A2DP capable headset to get notifications working through the headset instead of the speaker.

Re. the memory leak, I have also been using the Kaiser dialler. Will remove and see if the memory leak problem improves.

[kareeem]

Oh okay, great to know. Is it the first cab in that thread?

Yes, but its announce call doesnt work either on bluetooth ... so its both of them that dont work. if i am doing something wrong or if there are any crack that can get call announce to work on bluetooth i would be happy for someone to help :eek:

[kareeem]

I also just realized the memory leak. No idea where it comes from. S2U2 is laggy and i think it's because of the memory. I tried everything with the voice command including installing another copy which didn't work. So i might have to flash to a different rom but i still am not sure. Will there be a lite rom of this released? Thanks

[Edge85]

Very Nice Rom so far, only problem I have is that the media player does not add my music to the library. I can open individual files and that works, but loading the 1650+ mp3s on my flash doesnt work. Any ideas?

Is it a limitation of Windows Media Player? It used to work fine on the Audio Manager in Previous Roms, i just wanted to try out this player.

Noticed the memory leak also, and voice command just doesnt function right for some reason ... but it would be great if faria added it in with it fully working .... like I said if anyone knows any solution we don't please help

[Slammin]

I'm running another ROM right now but getting ready to flash back to this one again, but if I remember, I did install the cab anyway and all BT functions and announcements worked with my Jabra 8010, but before flashing the cab, the remote control functions worked, but the audio would only come through the phone and not the headset.



Pardon me whilst I talk to myself.


I just flashed again last night back to this ROM and sure enough, BT audio would not flow through the headset with the exception of music, but that was only if I initiated it from the handset.

Reinstalled the msvoice cab and everything, including caller announcements work again.

That will only fix routing to bluetooth not caller announcements were speaking about on an mono bluetooth not A2DP Bluetooth. Thanks

[kareeem]

I also installed the fix and it didn't work. I have the moto s9's which have a2dp but it still didn't work for some reason.

[Dr Puttingham]

The MSV issues are not specific to or related to this ROM. This has been going on since WM6 and the Hermes is not supported. If it DOES work it's probably due to the headset. Post these elsewhere please ??

BTW, this is the only ROM that my Piscel 1.2 has worked with no mem errors (all day with no reboots)

My only REAL issue with this ROM, since I went back to my PaulyA dialskin is losing email, etc sound notifications over the course of the day.

Sorry about that I think the debate about MSV was because it is one of the built in softwares in this rom and it doesnt work properly in this rom. I did not know it was an error between HTC and Hermes. :D

I tried everything with the voice command including installing another copy which didn't work. So i might have to flash to a different rom but i still am not sure. Will there be a lite rom of this released? Thanks

i also noticed "memory leak" and extra-ordinary battery drain. then i disabled MSVoice Command, since i hardly use it anyway, deleted the link on the StartUp folder, and everything seems to be fine. used the phone without the VoiceCommand for 24 hours, and i don't see any irregularity in terms of ram and battery drain.

Anybody else could confirm this?

[greatbal]

the first time i used this rom, i had the problem of random freezes and hard-resets. so i decided to go back to Shadow TE since i've used that rom for a week without any problems. Guess what? I also had random freezes and hard resets! So i flashed to Randomize's Storm, which i've used for a couple of days without experiencing any problems. Still random freezes and hard-resets!

I thought i messed up my phone due to frequent flashing of roms. Then i read every post on this thread thinking that it all started when i flashed this rom.

This is what i did (thanks to the posts on this thread):

1) HardSPL'd my phone. (i used to flash using the Force Safe SSPL optionin flashing roms)
2) Downloaded mtty.exe and ran the command "info 8" and "task2a". (i had 12 "bad blocks"! I never knew about this thing until i've read the whole thread)
3) Flashed a complete official WM6 OS. (Dopod 838 Pro WM6 upgrade since its radio rom 1.47 works best in my region.) - soft-resetting before the customization part.
4) Flashed again Faria's/Dr Puttingham WM6.1 rom

Result? I haven't any problem after 48 hours of use! No random freezes nor hard-resets! :D

The only issue i had is the extra-ordinary battery drain and sort of "memory leaks". I'm sure some of the people around here noticed that too. But when i disabled and deleted the MS VoiceCommand from the Startup folder (since i don't use it anyway), everything is fine for the last 48 hours. :)


I've tried every WM6.1 rom out there for the Hermes. This one rocks! :D

Thanks Faria and Dr Puttingham! :)

[greatbal]

Small issue i could live with, but Faria or Dr Puttingham may want to take a look at:

I can't play/preview sounds (e.g. midi/wav file attached) when composing or when i receive an MMS. :(

[MrDSL]

I also got random freezes and hard resets also so I just made my own 6.1 with pandora for now until a newer version of this one comes out. So far no freezes or hard resets.

I'm not sure whats going on with that but hopefully it will be fixed soon cause I really like the software etc in this ROM.

BenWe learned that back in the Wizard days. Many times it resolved my problems when flashing numerous custom ROM's. Now it's even more important (IMO) as the Big Storage is the merging of extended ROM into main storage. I liken it doing an unconditional format of a drive. (but that's probably not really a good analogy :) )

Understood, thanks Steven. It makes sense, although the difference between a hard drive and our device's flash memory is enormous (so to speak, heh, heh.)

I am going to give it a go. Don't think I will do it before every time I flash, though.

Cripes, I need to settle on one cooked ROM and be done with it, or seek professional help to get over this obsession! Let's see if your collaboration with Faria will be the solution to this never-ending flashmania.

I flashed this ROM and it is pretty good except for a small sound issue I am having. My sound stopped working!

I even reflashed back to my old 6.0 ROM and still no sound. Any thoughts?

If THAT fixes it then HardSPL and continue flashing whatever. If it doesn't I'd suspect you have bad hardware and take it from there.

That's what I was thinking about doing. I am on AT&T here in the states. Do you think that will work? I am not afraid of taking it apart and seeing if the connector is broken or loose :)

My device is the HERMES1000

I was reading on the Kaiser forums (granted not the same device) but there was a post there about some kind of conflict with the radio and the new 6.1 ROM's and that flashing the radio up did take care of the sound problem.

I will mess with it some this morning and see what I get and report back.

It was just the speaker connector.

All fixed and good to go!

Does MS VC work with bt etc out of box? I'm really looking forward to the new release so hurry up before I go into withdraws :)

[kasual]

1st - Thank you for your hard work creating dependable ROMs and allowing us to benefit from your skills.

I don't see anyone else having this problem, but it is driving me nuts... (more so than usual..) Several times a day the phone will change the ringtone to silent without any prompting that I am aware of. When that happenes, I usually miss a couple calls before I realize it has happened.

I keep the profile manager in the HTC homescreen unchecked (not even accessable), so I know I am not accidentally hitting that. I don't have any profile managers running in the background that I am aware of, however I can't ID about 1/2 of the items running in task manager.

Any suggestions are welcome.

[larsuck]

@gotid: Google Mr. Vanx upgrade guide. It isn't part of XDA, but it is a good guide for beginners. And although this is a great ROM, 6.1 builds are proving to be a bit pernicious, so I would probably suggest a bit more stable build for your first flash. You might think of searching the site (using google again) for some of Faria's previous WM6 goods.

@kasual: The profile manager in HTC Home Plug may be messing you up even though it is unaccessable. The "auto" profile setting automatically switches your phone to vibe (or silent maybe?) during any appointments you have. Check when you phone is going silent, and if that corresponds to appointments you have in your calendar, then you have found your culprit.

[Mentor_JRH]

Does anybody know how to make Black Berry work on this build? and what version of the SW are you using in that case?

:-) Great build I love it!

This is great, probably the best 6.1 ive used (havent changed since adding this rom though).

Just wanted to say.... can't wait for the vc1.6 bluetooth fix built in, trying the cab though

tried the cab, now my headset beeps incesantly, and the notification is still not sent to headset (the fix won't fix that)

Does any one know if installing a VC 1.6 cab overtop allows for notification via bluetooth headset?

The slide out keyboard is correct but the onscreen keyboard shows the @ sign at number 2 and the " where the @ sign normally is.

okay- I've searched and searched. This answer is nowhere to be found.
I'm running this ROM, and my signal strength/network icon is the one on the left:
(the 3g/H or E icon and the antenna thingy with the bars)
On my previous ROMs I had the icons like the ones on the right:
(a solid 3g/H or E icon and the corresponding icon where the bars are)

Why has this changed? and how do I change it back?
I know it's a trivial thing, but it's driving me bonkers.

Ola, Jose and Steven:

I flashed this very interesting-looking ROM a week ago, but had a problem with "Microsoft Voice Command is shutting down due to lack of memory." I had no additional software installed, and just a couple of the ROM's programs running.

There were about 20 Mb of free program memory when I ran into the low memory problem.

So I tried another ROM for a few days. Didn't like it, and came back to yours.
On reflashing Faria/Puttingham's ROM tonight, I have the same problem.

Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening? I would really like to solve this problem, as the ROM looks spectacular. I have run MSVC on many other ROMs with no problem.

Thanks

I had to install some cabs seperatly for some missing soft like equalizer and audio manager.
Why did you all mapped WMP insted of audio manager on HTC home.

How can I map some Aps in to accessories folder (istead on programs)

Please excuse me on my bad English.

Ok I'm going through withdraws so release the new version already :D

Just kidding great job can't wait for the next release..

[sutheep]

Multiple hard resets, after active sync. Even after I flashed official dopod (SEA) rom and SR before customization. What could be the prob here. Usually HR happens after I configure everything, notifications, MSVC, Contacts, Calendar, EMail. Havn't installed anything as yet.

Hmmm, I thought I had replied to you from my 8525 (running your and Jose's, ROM). I don't see my reply posted though.

So here goes (again, sort of.) Thanks for your timely reply, Doc, and the information about a new version. You had advised us of that over a week ago. I hope it comes out soon!

I regretfully am arriving at the conclusion that my problem with MS Voice Command, as my superior officers in the Navy were so fond of saying, "Sounds like a personal problem, mister.) No one else has complained about it, so, I dunno what gives.

I even flashed the AT&T official ROM as you suggested earlier, then your ROM. Didn't help.

Otherwise, I really like the ROM. One niggle, however. Faria's them (background, or whatever you call it on the Today screen.) The streaks of white on the black background are esthetically interesting, I suppose (I will leave that call up to the "artistes".) But they are bloody distracting and make it diffcult to see icons and text, don't you think?

So, I am using the AT&T theme. It's OK, but the black I think does provide better visibility in say, sunlight.

That's it for now, neighbor. Enjoying the cold snap? (For those of you in truly cold areas, cold for us in South Florida is highs around 16-18 degrees Celsius.)

Kind regards,

Ben

Dr. Puttingham, Well, I tried again, and it stayed the rom was usuable. Then I sync it w/ my outlook, and bang! freezes. I did a soft reset it stucked at WM6.1 Splash screen for quite a while. Did couple more softreset, no luck. had to hard reset it manually. I'm on Vista (updated wmdc driver) Don't be sorry, and Thank you! :) This is what rom flashing is all about, I flash roms pretty often. Well use the info I give and make a better rom. I'm very eager to use your rom, been reading alot bout it. I guess I have to wait for a fix! :)

And cold?.. this is cold.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=73247&d=1204224820
was -31 this morning- should've got a screen shot of that.

OK, nanasty, let's not get personal. Hooyah Airborne, from a NavSpecWar vet. See, we can be nice when we want to. Now you try it. ;) And it looks like Dr. Puttingham was a chaplain, so you don't want to upset him or he will get on the hotline to the big guy in the sky.

I hope that your temperature in that screenshot is Celsius, eh? If not, Airborne is gonna freeze his little ..... off.

[nanastas]

yes, that is celsius- but at -31 it doesn't matter.

and for the record, my .... is not little. Hasn't been for decades.

Brown-water is mostly mud- you're okay in my books.
I wish I could same for myself and the Big Guy... 0/10 on the commandments is gonna catch up sooner or later....

[faria]

sorry guys for the delay... but it took me a week fo fix IR! [broken by default in wm6.1] also im replacing drivers as the newer ones do not support some apps.at the moment im quite busy at work to...more news soon.

[kasual]

@kasual: The profile manager in HTC Home Plug may be messing you up even though it is unaccessable. The "auto" profile setting automatically switches your phone to vibe (or silent maybe?) during any appointments you have. Check when you phone is going silent, and if that corresponds to appointments you have in your calendar, then you have found your culprit.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I just looked and it did it again, without any appointments today. Just a wierd quirk on mine i guess.

Relax, Jose, we can wait (impatiently, but we'll wait. You are our great hope. ;)

Doc, Could Jeyo SMS Backup be causing problems after restore?

[basha]

Please can somone help me to put (map) som apps in to accessories folder than programs.:confused::confused::confused:

[Dr Puttingham]

Doc, Could Jeyo SMS Backup be causing problems after restore?I'd try without. I've never backeduped / restored any ROM ever so I have no knowledge therefor. It's typically not a good practice IMO.

@basha - I'll look into it this morning if I get a chance.

@Doc, 1 Full day w/o restore, just your rom. And I have to say, I'm impressed :) Sticking w/ it for a while.

Did anyone experience battery drain with WM6.1?
My TyTN is eating battery faster with WM6.1 than with 6.0. I have tried two different ROMs (my own and Faria/Dr Puttingham's ROM) but same result?!

Cheers

Having same problem here.

[Dr Puttingham]

I've got a request in for integating htc audio mgr and equalizer per Basha's request. Jose's completely revamped this and it's getting much better, IMO. We're finding little things here and there but I'm confident he'll post soon. (It's his birthday today so he MIGHT be drinking instead of cooking, ehehehe :) )

I think battery life is getting better, I complained about that myself.

Later

[silasrye]

One application for which Ive found no better alternative is Mortplayer. I would vote against cooking in AudioManager, as I never use it or WMP.

On a related note, I have set Mortplayer to associate with all media files, and when this is done, my phone wont ring, so maybe WMP is required no matter what.

[compumad]

Happy Birthday José. All the best for you. Thanks again for the great job with this rom.

[faria]

Thanks fari and Dr P. This is the best 6.1 rom with good speed and stability.
I have been using farias roms since my Wizard time. He is one of the best chef at XDA-DEV.

Also I have few comments:
I had to install some cabs seperatly for some missing soft like equalizer and audio manager.
Why did you all mapped WMP insted of audio manager on HTC home.

How can I map some Aps in to accessories folder (istead on programs)

Please excuse me on my bad English.

Thanks again to Jose and Dr P.
Look foward to see updates

because since the rom had no audio manager i did not make sense to map to it. if you want to map audio manager as defaut player simply change the folowing value in the registry:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Music Plug-In]
"MusicPlayer"=dword:00000002


dword:00000002 for audio manager
dword:00000001 for media player

as for mapping shorcuts to the accesories folder do this:
install your app then move the shorcut to the accesories folder,this can be done with explorer.

Happy Birthday José. All the best for you. Thanks again for the great job with this rom.
obrigada.thanks i will be posting the next update in the next couple of days.

it will be branded as the "R-32 " TO COMEMERATE MY AGE.ehehe

I have also but most people say no.
i changed the relevant drivers in the new update will see if it makes a diference.

[Dr Puttingham]

it will be branded as the "R-32 " TO COMEMERATE MY AGE.eheheWow, I've got PDA's that old!

Happy Birthday Brother!

ehehehehe!

[BigBen]

Wow, I've got PDA's that old!

Happy Birthday Brother!

ehehehehe!

Feliz aniversario, Jose! Happy Birthday Jose!

Steven with the PDA's 3 decades old, six of my high school classmates and I in were chosen to learn computer programming. Punch cards. Fortran I.

Keep up the good work, guys. Glad to see a couple of capable stalwarts such as you two still with us in the Hermes forum.

[sutheep]

2 Things.

1) Edge Icon: When I'm connected to edge, the edge icon is a small E w/ arrows and it's stuck there. There's no small E on the Singal Level. How do I change it?
2) Wifi: When you tap the Wifi Icon, when you're connected, it doesn't show Wifi singal level. just says you're connected. How do i Fix this?

Thanks. Lookin' forward for the R-32 :P Happy birthday Jose!

[fuzzvirus]

A very happy birthday to you looking forward to your R-32. Please see if you can change the midlet manager which asks for permissions everytime. God bless you.

[basha]

First, Happy Birthday to you Jose Faria.

Second, Thanks to Faria & Dr P for help. I have done changes accordingly.

Third, Now one week and rom is stable and running smoothly, no battery issue or memory drain. But I had sudden freeze two days ago and done soft reset. Now things are back to normal.
Hope minor bugs will clear up on with your birthday release.

Another observation:
Once you press the answer button to answer the call, it has few seconds delay. Though you press answer button, phone rings until you get connected to call.
I have notices this problem with some other Herms roms as well.

Is it common problem with 6.1 or some bug?

[sutheep]

This might be useful to some people. I followed and I havn't had a hard reset as yet.


Steps by Steps
First, please test your phone with mtty.exe to make sure you don't have any bad block, if so, please fixed before started.

1. Flash HardSPL
2. Flash the full AT&T Cingular 8252 3.62.502.3 Original ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available%20Original%20Shipped% 20WM6%20ROM%20Versions
3. Avoid installation of misc software at first boot
4. Flash ROM


What original ROM i need to flash before Flash ROM?
i had tested
- Dopod HK WWE (SEA) ROM, Crashed less than 24 hours. more than 3 times.
- i-mate AUS Telstra WWE ROM, Crashed after 3 days, while enabling network plugin.
- AT&T Cingular 8252 3.62.502.3 Original ROM, after 1 week, never encouter problems.


Thanks geraldoak for this.

Download AT&T ROM here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available%20Original%20Shipped% 20WM6%20ROM%20Versions

I also found that you have to use Kaiser's Network Wizard. The Dopod's SEA wizard will crash the device. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66570&d=1200791991

the above problems may be related to mising certificates...my new rom has several new carriers certs.

update;
i also belive battery drains due to the phone stack [3g band in particular] therefore i replaced it today with a original hermes wm6.1 files.

First, Happy Birthday to you Jose Faria.

hum...im afraid cant test that...my phone buttons are broken!

[Dr Puttingham]

hum...im afraid cant test that...my phone buttons are broken!So THAT'S why you never answer my calls!

[faria]

So THAT'S why you never answer my calls!

im sorry darling.i m not avoiding you! really!:D

[faria]

more about battery related stuff...

wm6.1 also has a few more app/services running this also impact the millage. most intriguing is a new app/service called "Basicphone" as far as i can tell this is related to emergency numbers ,but but older roms already supported this. i wonder if the new app is future support for emergency call over voip!

one thing i can tell you wm6.1 is the bridge between wm6 to wm7.:D

maybe they finally decided to give the phone app priority over the other apps and bundled it in a service that has more priority?

I find this interesting, and exciting, because your ROM and Berds WM6 have given me by far the best battery life. I used to keep my 3g turned off because I would be at 20% by about 2pm. Now I keep it on all the time, and I charge at night, with still about 40-50% left. Any better life than that, and I won't know what to do with myself....

[faria]

in fact this service loads before any others.

[MrDSL]
