[ROM][WWE][26.09.08] WM6.1_Light_ROMs [OFFLINE]

[kokotas]

Old Roms Found @ post 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2104134&postcount=7
...I had totally forgotten this thread and these roms..
My advice: Don't use these:) They were my first cooking attempt and were "incomplete":)
Someone may want to try them, so I'll keep them available, but better flash (for daily use) some fresh and stable ROMs!
Let me keep this for future use..(I had an idea about a "Do_It_Yourself_WM6.1" ROM, but it needs some work!)

[vibranze]

Hi Kokotas,
Congrats! Another more ROM for those who seeking for customize ROM:)

Btw, you ROM version is showing 2.26.110.51B. Is this a new version or you just change it for fun?

Cheers,
Vibranze

[ckpv5]

Hi Kokotas
Thank you for the ROM. Installed it on ELF and it works.

Memory After Flashing:
Free Storage Memory ~55MB
Free Program Memory ~23MB

To Vibranze
Where can I find details on your Vibranze WM6.1 Elfin ROM Version 3.0 & 3.1.
Installed 3.1 on my ELF and love it very much, stable and fast. The only thing that I wish is the Storage Memory can be greater than 44.45MB.

Thank you to both of you

Hey guys!
After playing with Extended Elf/Elfin Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365664)[Bepe] and HyperCore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335631)[Anichillus]
I managed to cook the following ROM (for personal use)!
Since now, everything (software & hardware) is working great,
so I decided to share with XDA!

hey kokotas.. good work :) do check my thread, just updated the latest post with info abt my new rom :)

u might wanna post some info on how did u combine both the kitchens if u want newbies to learn from u :D

would u have any idea abt how to remove the managed programs, domain enroll, encryption completely?

[vibranze]

Hi,
I didn't post any details regarding my ROM because it's contained some commercial-ware. I will create another ROM with only open source or freeware if I got time.

My ROM is meant for Elfin and not for Elf so I can't help much to make the storage memory greater than 44.45MB coz the programs inside is what I need and use everyday.

Cheers,
Vibranze

Goos to see more and more new Roms coming out of the woodwork.

Gives me also more time to work on another project that i've been holding off and working on for years.

Congrats

[seferismo]

Hi, How Do I Make My Own Customized Rom? What Are The Things I Need And Where To Find Them? I Want To Try Creating A New Rom That Suites My Taste.. Thanks...

[.dredd.]

Hi kokotas
great rom, but system sounds are extremely silent. I tried to find reg key but not found so far.
Ringtone is very silent as well as mediaplayer etc.
Can not use like this.
All others look nice and working.
Thank you

can try this reg tweak.. works for me in my rom cooking :D

[mcdull]

I have the audio level problem too.. how to fix? or how to apply this fix?

[Ameet]

I have the audio level problem too.. how to fix? or how to apply this fix?

this is a oem package.. open the rgu file and edit the reg strings accordingly.. else import the rgu file in ur device reg.. note that it does work for me, i cant guarantee that it will work for u too :p

[kokotas]

Thanx for the info about the audio guys!
I haven't noticed it, probably because I haven't been to a noisy place(stuck inside home with a broken leg:()
Nevermind...I fixed it and the corrected ROM version is uploaded in 1st post!
Also, if you want to change the audio level yourself:
Find the reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN
You can change and try various values for the subkeys until you find the audio setup you like!
You have to change the following subkeys:
"EAC_GAIN_CARKIT"
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"
"EAC_GAIN_HEADSET"
Regards!

[czf918]

VERY GOOD! I like this kind rom!

[chiledog]

Many thanks

special thanks for the documentation on cooking !!!!

Also,
*At the bottom is a cab attached for those who flashed the v1.0 and don't want to go through the flashing process again.
**Another thing about the audio...
SRSWowHDArm is included in ROM and it's enabled!
Disable it and there you have the default sound level! See the difference?!
Enable it whenever you want and play with its options as it suits you!
Regards!

kokotas:

Thank you for fast action... now I flashed your rom and the audio issue is OK now. I like your rom, it is fast and clean but there are essentials what I need.

I was satisfied with Blue Elves 5 but there are too many things cooked and it could slow down.

Thanks again!

[Cobra2]

Hi kokotas

Great work man, looks like a really nice clean rom:)

2hours now and everything seems to be very stable, thanx for the share.

Keep em comin ;)

I used to have Blue Elves v5 too, and I had never changed that for no other ROM! [Btw...Swiftblade!Where have you been for so long?:confused:] But I thought the same as you ... "too many things cooked"!
So I cooked this ROM with the basic stuff inside!

Thank you for trying it! Till now, it shows to be stable, hardware functional and the applications that I've used so far have no problems!
And to my surprize, the memory leak is not that bad for a WM6.1!
I hope it stays that way;), but if you notice anything strange, please feed back!
Regards!

[Taninpv]

Very nice ROM. Fast and stable, I like this a lot! So far so good, been using it for 4 hours now.

[mcdull]

I would like to report another issue. Quite a number of locale is missing from the rom. for example, all Chinese locale was not present. I know it may not be there by default. But I would really want to have them included. It should be related to wince.nls

Thanks alot.

[ckpv5]

Hi Kokotas

Thank you for your new updated ROM v.1.3. Eventhough this is for Elfin, I maybe crazy, still manage to flash to my Elf, and of course change the default 12MB PP to 8MB first (using the multi platform PP changer) before flashing. (Total Program Memory now is 47.65 same as the v.1.1, this is 8MB PP, right ? Pls advise as I maybe wrong)

Your ROM is always fast and stable.... thank you.

Memory After Flashing:
Free Storage Memory ~56MB
Free Program Memory ~23MB

You're like my crazy ROM tester:D
I'm glad you've tried it!
Also, I'd appreciate it, if you're so kind to decribe what you did (pagepool change) so others elf owners could do it too! Post it here or pm me to add it in 1st post. Whatever you like brother!

ps:Updated the tut in 1st post!

hey kokotas.. which is the home plugin u cooked?

[kokotas]

1.BatteryStatus Ext1.5 with my modified "HtcHome" theme.
*Internal Task Manager is DISABLED!
**The default cpu-speed in BatteryStatus options seems to be 195MHz. Don't know why(yet)!?
Things to do:
i)Set default speed to 201!
ii)Set overclock option to 208!
iii)Check overclock on wakeup!
iv)Check overclock after reboot!
v)Soft Reset!

2.EffComm
*With it, there is no need to use CommManager!)
Regards!

[ckpv5]

Hi Kokotas

Yes.. I am crazy:D

Just reflashed again my Elf without any modification on the PP. It seems like the Multi Platform PP Changer is NOT working on your ROM but the final result is amazing... the total program memory is 47.65. (This is 8MB PP right? the 12MB PP usually show 43.71

Not sure why but maybe Elf will accept the 12MB PP ROM as 8MB PP ROM. Maybe someone else can confirm this.

I am happy with this ROM, clean, fast and stable. Well, maybe will reflash again once you release a new ROM:D

[kokotas]

It seems like the Multi Platform PP Changer is NOT working on your ROM.
You are right! It has no effect on these new builds!
(This is 8MB PP right? the 12MB PP usually show 43.71
*The pagepool is DD! I mean that it is Default Dynamic,
so that we have 12MB PP for ELFIN and 8MB PP for ELF!

Getting an image file corrupt message when trying to install v1.3 - downloaded from both mirrors. USPL's and everything (I've done loads of Roms before, so I'm not exactly a rookie...)

Getting an image file corrupt message when trying to install v1.3 - downloaded from both mirrors. USPL's and everything (I've done loads of Roms before, so I'm not exactly a rookie...)

Scratch that... flashed OK now, needed a hard reset, then USPL. Trying the new Rom now...

[TangerineTractor]

OK, got V1.3 running like a dream... but I wish I'd got the silver/black dialler - any chance of a CAB?
Also, I've not seen AltTab before - I keep getting something up on screen, but have no idea what's activating it or how it works... help!

No cab unfortunately!
...well, you could overwrite some files in \Windows, but for every (ROM)file you "overwrite" you get equal RAM-memory loss.
Also, I've not seen AltTab before - I keep getting something up on screen, but have no idea what's activating it or how it works... help!
Normally, in a stock ROM, when you swip up on your screen
you activate Biotouch and the Cube comes up!
Because there is no Cube in these ROMs, I have changed the whole action (inspired from Noonski):
When you swip up on your screen, AltTab runs!
AltTab is an easy way of going from one open window to another!
If you don't like it, there is a way to disable it!
Go to HKLM>Software>OEM>TFLOSettings
Set EnableCube to 0

Just re-flashed with the blck version... all fine - worked out AltTab, needed Comm Manager, and applied my modded BatteryStatus theme (launches commmanager when you click on the clock, and shows mu IMAP mail acocunt as well as the ActiveSync one).
Have to say, I don't like WKtask and have disabled it... I reckon the best task manager and battery indicator is the one in SBSH iLauncher... but I don't need all the launcher bit any more.. WKtask is overkill on a 'lean' device, pbar is too fiddly... any other suggestions?

[kokotas]

Ok, since you're trying stuff with this ROM, I'd like to ask you for some info.
Thanks.

Is everything ok after you installed CommManager? Everything is fully working? Which CommManager did you tried?

Does QuickMenu have TaskManager? Well,I think it does! It's free and very handy, but I don't like the fact that the menu "shrinks"! I like it more finger friendly;)
Also, you could try to enable the task manager of the B/S with a trick if you want to...but not sure!

I used the commmanager from tour first post, just installed the commmanager cab not the certs bit, works fine.
My modded batterystatus theme works wonderfully - I never used HTC home because the clock was too big, and I don't need a launcher. I use two mail accounts, an ActiveSync and an Imap, so need something that tells me the counts in both and accesses both seperately - the default messaging plugin was the only thing that worked until I tweaked the batterystatus theme. I like everything finger-friendly where posisble - I also have installed TodayAgenda and TomTom - working perfectly with GPS over bluetooth. I've installed iLauncher just for the battery bar and program manager - it's as clean and finger-friendly as I can find!
Screenshot attached - theme is GuavaBubbles slightly modded to make the horizontal lines less visible, and blackbars applied... the batterystatus theme is a mod of your original, with the voicemail gone and a second mail icon pointing to my IMAP account. I've also stuck commmanager behind a keypress the seconds display for ease of access...

Hi Kokotas

Among the three editions of the Light ROM, the BlackEdition is the best for ELF. Very much better memory management compare to V1.3. After 24hrs of usage, the free memory is always around 21MB.

Some info on Memory After Flashing:
Free Storage Memory ~56MB (62.88 / 6.38 / 56.50)
Free Program Memory ~24MB (47.65 / 23.59 / 24.06)

Thank you for the fast and stable ROM.

Rgds

[kokotas]

@TangerineTractor:
That's good news!
That's why I cooked this ROM!
It's almost a base ROM which can be modified in many ways from any user!:D And what do I do when I get bored(which is usually)with a setup??
HardReset and try some new stuff:cool:
(ps:Yes!No need for the certs in order to install the CommManager that I suggested in 1st post)
Very nice setup you have there;)Never thought of red...

Update: Been running BlackEdition for 24 hours, no isuses at all - very fast and stable, no memory isuses, good battery performance too (also ran 1.3 all last weekend with no issues).
Additional software installed: TodayAgenda, TomTom 6.02, SBSH iLauncher (only for Task Manager and battery indicator), GPS Quick Position, iContact, and CommManager re-added.... memory staus below:

@ababrekar: I'll probably post a sort of "HowTo" today:)
But I still can't remove the useless managed programs, domain enroll, encryption completely:( Have to search and try more!

trick to remove domain enroll found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1882740&postcount=196 and it works too

Hi kokotas!

You have done a great job for me with this clean ROM... it works excellent. I love the black skins especially dialer because black and white is the most visible in daylight.

I just wonder if you could release a ROM for Elfins with more pagepool than 8MB. I tried out the 24MB PP ROM from Pdaviet (or somewhere) and it runs fast but again... there are a lot of features cooked which I do not use (remember I told you that Blue Elves had the same issue for me)

Thank you for your great job again!

With best regards

Dredd

Hi there

I have a big problem with this version. ActiveSync keeps screwing up on my Vista 64 bit. Normally it works perfect, but after installing this, it keeps getting screwed and then I have to reboot the phone a few times to get it working. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi dredd! Maybe I'll try to make a bigger size PagePool, but I think that 8MB is quite balanced!

I have a big problem with this version.
Hi Flemming! Which of the 3 versions?

[Harboe]

Ohh sorry I forgot. The BlackEdition.

PS. Else than this problem everything is working great and I like the rom very much. :)

In BlackEdition I have (partial) removed SQM, the System Quality Metrics application from Microsoft, in charge of sending customer feedback from your phone back to Microsoft. Probably that is the reason for your sync-problems (also having in mind that Vista have a "MSSnitch" inside)! There is no issue with WinXP!
Has anybody else with WinVista experienced same problems? Please feedback!
*If it is a bad flash, then you should check and do the following:
1.Download again the ROM.
2.Plug into a different usb port the usb cable.
3.Flash again the ROM(with the SIM&microSD cards removed)
If you still have the same problem, you should better try another ROM (or check your PMs)!

my 1st installation of a custom rom
Light_ROM_v1.3_WM6.1[OS_5.2.19209][Build_19209][WWE]
went smoothly.

really liked the information given in the 1st post of this thread.

thanks kokotas!

i have problem getting SRS_WOWHD_ARM.cab from post#1 of this thread to work on Light_ROM_v1.3_WM6.1[OS_5.2.19209][Build_19209][WWE].

i found and installed the ppc version of srs wow hd from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2060364&postcount=121) and it worked straight away.

perhaps SRS_WOWHD_ARM.cab from post#1 is the smartphone version?

I used the PagePoolChanger futher down the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326006) to change the pagepool to 16mb - works perfectly, and a fast rom is now an amazing one - with no overclocking, it's faster than any other ROM I've had overclocked to 237mhz (the fastest my Elfin will run stably)

BIG TIME SCREWED.. so i need to know what to remove to get rid of mms

I just flash the blackedition, and I had similar case.

[kokotas]

Well...My opinion:
If yours looks like mine
then I'm afraid that the PP changer didn't work!
It's impossible for a 8MB_PP_ROM to have the same ProgMemory with a 16MB_PP_ROM!
Where did those 8MB go to or come from? However that would be cool! ;)

Shit!
Those f..cking Vista!:mad: So BlackEdition DOESN'T like Vista!
Well, here is the case:
I don't have a PC with Vista so even if I change something in the ROM I can't test it before I give it to you! And that's not right for me!
However, (maybe) another member (with Vista PC) is going to try another blackedition and we'll see if it is fixed!
Till then, you should try another ROM!

I agree, but available program memory has gone up, and the system is definitely faster, so I don't know what's changed...

This confirms that the pagepool isn't changed by the tool (it will say so, but it looks at the wrong offset). Still 8 mb. Too bad it isn't simply changing the offset of the tools for newer roms.

Is it possible to have two sets of this ROM, one for ELF and one for ELFin, since ELFin can take up a bigger PP, if there will be a 16MB version for ELFin, it will be super.

kokotas:

I quote "captkkk".... it does indeed seem that Page Pool Changer had no influence to your LightRom pagepool (however I also experienced some enhancements in speed).

Now we have you as our only hope/chance to have 16MB pagepool version of your Black Rom for our poor Elfins....:rolleyes::)

Thank you

Ps. your rom is still excellent... works like charm even with 8MB PP... but you know we are humans and we need always the best :):)

[ZILLKA]

Testing. BTW, what about PP size 6 mb?

[kokotas]

I am trying stuff about the PP size and about the Vista issue!
I can't test the cooked (trial) ROMs or anything at the moment.
I had an accident ...
Flashing Fever! => Broken pins in the miniUSB port! => No connectivity!
I'll have to wait to fix it...

thanks again to kokotas and vijay555.

kokotas for his ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383993) that allows me to replace \windows\biotouch.exe without difficulty

vijay555 for his VJBrisk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=265677) that allows a "new biotouch.exe" to launch a shortcut to s2u2.exe

this means slide2unlock2 will remain locked, even if there are accidental presses/brushes(due to hardware design) while my elf is in my pocket.

[kokotas]

Hi mangokun! Your post gave me another idea and I recooked my ROM!
I'll have to wait to get my phone fixed in order to try it:(
However,I don't know if it's a good idea, but...
is there anyone interested in doing some flashing\testing for me???:)
One with an Elfin and a Vista PC in order to see if the cooked ROM is Vista compatible too!?

Hi kokotas!

Although I use WinXP but if you need assistance to try a new ROM I would do it for us (not very deep but as a common user)
How about testing a 16MB pagepool ROM? :D:rolleyes:... for Elfin of course

[TangerineTractor]

I've noticed something, don't know if it's specific to this ROM...

The in-call volume does not seem to have any effect - it's always very loud, doesn't go quieter...

Find the reg key:

You can change and try various values for the subkeys until you find the audio setup you like!
You have to change the following subkeys:
"EAC_GAIN_CARKIT"
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"

It effects the volume level.
It was very loud indeed!(In v1.1 and v1.3!Not in BlackVersion!)
It needs turning it down a little:)

[CraigHardy]

Hey kokotas, im usin your blackedition at the minute must say its very good rom!

just wondering if you or anyone else can shed some light on this matter, how would i go about hiding the open programs next to the start menu?

regards
craig

[kokotas]

how would i go about hiding the open programs next to the start menu?
That is the WkTask, the taskmanager used in my ROM!
Go to its preferences and find your way through the options there!
Regards!

[CraigHardy]

ah thanks for a fast reply kokotas!

[Vector-SS]

Wow, this is the first time I actually load a new ROM on my phone and that thing is super fast. I love it !

Two things though:

How come the graphics on the top left (next to the start) are always messed up? And is of different color (grey, as opposed to black). It's really bothering me for some reason.

And why is the scrolling (programs, settings) not smooth?

Aside from that I'm very very satisfied. Great work!

EDIT:
Okay I have figured out how to make it the same color, though there is still a horizontal line right above start

[kokotas]

...though there is still a horizontal line right above start
Again...check WkTask's preferences!That line is the battery gauge.
As for the scrolling, it'll get smoother after setting up the phone and doing one or two Soft Resets!
Regards!

[TangerineTractor]

Thanks. Set the Embedded key down to 80, and now the slider does alter the volume during a call. I think maybe at its default setting it was so high that even when decreased with the slider it was still loud!

Well I went to sleep and I woke up only to see the horizontal line disappear alone :D The scrolling for settings/system is super smooth, though the programs scrolling still lags a bit. Not a problem though as long as that horizontal line disappeared :)

i had tried the light rom 1.3 or the black edition. My problem is i can't see all the incoming call telephone no or the contact name. all i can c is just the blank notification. What cause this?

[kokotas]

Hello!
I haven't got any problems with Caller ID!That's strange!:confused:
Let's try to solve this:)
I'm going to describe what I did after flashing:
Well, I used PIM Backup to restore all my contacts. I didn't create them one by one! (Also,I don't know if it matters but I have all my numbers in the format +306936123456. I always put infront my country code +30)
Under Settings/Connection I set up my connection & soft Reset.
Under Settings/Personal I set up the Sounds-Notifications & went to Phone to check the network,services(callid etc).
That's all I remember:cool:
Do a Hard Reset and check your settings again!

i did it the same thing before, is juz i thought is software crushed. But, my sister phone using the same rom and same software dun hav this problem.. i dunno wut is the problem tat cause this problem.. so sad....

by the way, all my phone no is using the same way to set. I try to sync by activesync or juz use pimbackup to backup restore after i hardreset. Even i reflashed it for twice oso same problem. But the other phone ( flashed to other 4 elf) no such problem. T.T

[kokotas]

Have you tried switching SIM cards with your sister?
Insert yours in her phone and see if the problem persists.
Do check the settings under
StartMenu\Settings\Personal\Phone\Services.
Can't think of anything else now.If I come up with any new idea I'll pm you.

tq, i will figure it out too... i think should be the registry problem... but anyone of u noe abt the registry for the incoming call notification??? thanks kokotas... i will try to figure it out too.. once i have the solution i will tell u guys too...

[Vector-SS]

I have noticed that Touchpal (I installed it) becomes very laggy after a couple of hours of use and is solved by a soft reset. Then again, I noticed others complaining about the same thing with the HTC keyboard on Shadows ROM.

Could it be the threaded SMS that is causing this? I never had this problem with Windows 6.

[kokotas]

I think there is a way to find out if the threaded SMS are causing any lag when typing any messages. Here is the thread you should check out:
SMS Tweaker v1.0 to tweak SMS/MMS in WM6.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387884).
Use that tweaker and switch to normal mode to see if the lag is gone!
Regards!

[Vector-SS]

I use phonepad and I can't say that I have any lag with that.
But, I think there is a way to find out if the threaded SMS are causing any lag. Here is the thread: SMS Tweaker v1.0 to tweak SMS/MMS in WM6.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387884). Switch to normal mode and see if the lag is gone!
Regards!

Yeah it seems to be threaded SMS that is causing the lag for some odd reason. I disabled threaded SMS through the registry and now its working fine.

Too bad as I really liked the idea of threaded SMS. Some of you might not notice the lag, but I send about 2000+ messages per month and I type extremely fast so therefore I really notice if the input can't keep up when I type, especially when it's touchpal.

To disable threaded SMS:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s:

Change SMSAvailable from 1 to 0

[_LunaTiC_]

To disable threaded SMS, do this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
DWORD
value set to 1.

I tested that, and it works! The above solution made some trouble with my phone. Kind of disabled the SMS notifications or so...

You know what? I really didn't notice it until you bought that up. Despite that I'm going to have to live with it like that as messaging is very important to me and I can't deal with it being laggy. This way, I will rely (sp?) on my little orange LED :)

What can cause the message notifaction to disappear anyway? Anyone?

[furrypotato]

THanks for the ROM - nice and fast and plenty of memory to run programs. I can run Opear 9.33beta now without low memory !

Couple of issues- minor one- The nice, big Clock seems to have disappeared from the Today screen...

Major One- the phone screen does not come back on from sleep when I press the power button. I have to soft reset to get it back :(

Any ideas ? I've gone through all the powe/backlight related options I can find.

Hi Dylan! I guess you're talking about v1.3.

Try to do a hard reset & then reflash the ROM! Also check the keylocking options.

Go to Today items and enable BatteryStatus for the clock...

""the phone screen does not come back on from sleep when I press the power button"" -

based on my experience with any ROM, using the WkTASK setting, the Brightness should be at level 4 maximum... more than that, the problem "the phone screen does not come back on from sleep" will occur.

Rgds

[Vector-SS]

Hey Kokotas,

I have a quick question for you. Every once in a while, when I select my start menu, about 20 items drop down. I like it and it looks good. Then they somehow disappear alone.

When I try to add more in the start menu through the settings/menu, it tells me no more than 7 items could be selected.

How can I go about adding more as it sometimes happens alone?

Hi
In the Settings on Personal tab you find Large Start Menu... uncheck the box and you'll get your fav orig start menu :)

[kokotas]

I have a quick question for you. Every once in a while, when I select my start menu, about 20 items drop down. I like it and it looks good. Then they somehow disappear alone.
Well, I guess that's a bug of the start menu! Have you tried enabling\disabling the EnlargeStartMenu? Till now, I have only noticed that if you have no items at all in the start menu, then it doesn't respond to finger taps! So there is a minimum of items=2.
When I try to add more in the start menu through the settings/menu, it tells me no more than 7 items could be selected. How can I go about adding more as it sometimes happens alone?
Try adding some shortcuts manually under "\windows\start menu\" with an explorer like TotalCommander or Resco Explorer or GSFinder.
See if there you could add more than 7...
Well I have now done a hard reset and it's working fine again. So I think I'll leave screen brightness alone!
Good to hear that it's working fine again, but you should set the correct brightness settings in WkTask:
the Brightness should be at level 4 maximum...

[Vector-SS]

So when I disabled "Enabled large start menu" it seems to work :) Hopefully it stays that way. I love this ROM, it's super fast. One last question though, my programs still lags when scrolling up/down after many soft resets. On the other hand, my settings/system scroll very smoothly

You think a hard reset would solve this issue?

My experience is that the programs folder is almost always laggy in all MS devices when you install some extra progs. I used Universal and that was same. Maybe the prog icons load slow.

[whoaaitsdavey]

Hi Dave!
Have you try to hard reset and then check if the camera is working?
Some hints:
1.Under StartMenu\Settings\Personal\Buttons set the button to point to CamShoot(NOT Camera) in order to have the side button for camera.
2.Under StartMenu\Programs you should find a Camera.lnk!
Isn't that working?
3.The HTC Album has nothing to do with the camera.
Unless you want to assing the album-key(bottom left on sceen when camera is launched) of the camera to HTCAlbum instead of pimg.exe.
You could try something in the registry. I haven't done that, but I think it should work!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCAMERA
"1"="pimg.exe -camerakey"
Change pimg.exe => HTCAlbum.exe and when you press that key you'll have HTCAlbum opening instead of the default pimg.exe

My Rogers ROM was actually smooth. Anyway, I will remove some icons I don't use and see what happens. If that does not work I will try a hard reset. Messing around with my phone is becoming an addiction :D

[alkisk]

I've been using the v1.3 rom for a few days, and its proved very fast, stable and functional. (would like to use black rom but i have vista on the pc...)

But, has anybody else noticed that not only you cannot change the volume on the headset using the sliders as noted before, but also you cannot change the ringer volume, which is probably too low??? any solution for that????

thanks for the fast reply!

that would require a reboot every time that you would want to change a volume though, right??

and which value is which???

carkit for the bluetooth???
embedded for the volume during a call???
headset for the for a headset???

and which one is for the ringer????

greetings from Thessaloniki!!

[kokotas]

that would require a reboot every time that you would want to change a volume though, right??
No, you got it wrong!
It requires a reboot after changing the registry,
but when you've set the right_for_you audio max level,
then you don't have to reboot each time you want to change something!
Use the volume_sliders by tapping the volume icon of the top bar!
Don't be afraid to play with those (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN) reg_entries!
carkit for the bluetooth???
embedded for the volume during a call???
headset for the for a headset???
You can't harm your phone, but if you want to feel more safe, make a RegistryBackup!If you change those you'll see that the ringer level is also changed!
greetings from Thessaloniki!!
What a beautiful city!!! I'd really like to live there sometime in the near future!:) Beautiful women, sea, great food and stressless way of life!;)
Best Regards!

Flashed the light rom... am very pleased with it! Thanks u for the effort :cool:

[alkisk]

been playing around with the registry keys for the sound, and managed to have nice volumes with the following exception:
When I hear music through a headset attached to the mobile and he phone rings the ring volume (in the headset) is extremely loud! if I lower the eac_gain_headset value then the music is tto low, and also the ringer volume of the device goes down!
Also, the volume setting slider slider can adjust the volume on the headset, but not the ringer volume of the device as it should.
Does anyone have any definite idea what each key does, and what is the difference of the eac keys and the codec keys, and also the uplink volumes????
(maybe i'm getting off topic and should ask in another section of the forum - sorry for that..)

Hi Kokotas

It's been awhile since your last update. Hv flashed the 4MB PP test ROM on my Elf, it's working fine at the moment but the PP still shows as 8MB not 4MB. Is it because I flashed it on Elf?

Memory After Flashing:
Free Storage Memory - 59.72MB
Free Program Memory - 24.56MB



I maybe wrong, what I notice is whenever the Net CF 3.5 is in the ROM, the PP cannot be change to 4MB but any WM6.1 with NetCF 2.0, the PP can be change to 4MB or 6MB.

As usual, your ROM is always fast.

...but the PP still shows as 8MB not 4MB. Is it because I flashed it on Elf?
Memory After Flashing:
Free Storage Memory - 59.72MB
Free Program Memory - 24.56MB
That's strange!
In my Elfin I get:
For 4MB_PP - > Total (Prog) memory : 115.68 MB
For 18MB_PP - > Total (Prog) memory : 101.68 MB
Even by doing the math: {4 + (115.68-101.68) = 18} you see that it is correct!
Anyway, thank you very much for testing ckpv5!:)
Did you have the chance to test Sync with VistaPC?
If you see anything else, please feedback!

Regards!

Hello my friend back!!!

Good to see you are here again!

The 18MB PP version is already waiting on my D drive but now I am testing the pdamobiz test2 diamond version... which is very impressive but has a few bug... wifi does not work, some programs are not willing to be installed...

Sooner or later I flash your 18MB PP version... have you killed the biotouch.exe error message?

With best regards

Dredd

Ps. I just realised that you referred to your Elfin... does it mean that you got it back?... Good news!
What does UC2.0 capable stands for?

[kokotas]

Ps. I just realised that you referred to your Elfin... does it mean that you got it back?... Good news!
Hey Dredd! Yeah!I got back my touch:D
But I'm having exams at the university and I don't have much free time for now!
... have you killed the biotouch.exe error message?
Well, I have a 0byte Biotouch.exe inside the ROM which does nothing
plus I have set
HKLM>Software>OEM>TFLOSettings
EnableCube => 0
I didn't remove it, because in this way you can use any "Application.exe" renamed to "Biotouch.exe" or you can use vjbrisk(like here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372657)) which is cooked in the ROM.
What does UC2.0 capable stands for?
UC2.0=User Customization 2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337)
Basically, it's a way of installing cabs, entering RegEntries, moving/deleting files in AUTO mode using your SD card! But if you don't want to follow that way you just let the phone boot and reset without doing nothing!

Regards!

Hi Kokotas

Think that because I flashed on Elf and that is why the PP shows as 8MB.
But is not a big deal to me as I always prefer 8MB. In fact in this ROM, just completed all the usual softwares installation, still hv around 22-23MB free program memory.

And yes, Sync with Vista PC is still a problem for this test ROM. Only the first time it is ok. After disconnected, it can't be re-connected. Still not a big deal to me.. my desktop is still XP.

I'm using black edition - it look fantastic ! but I have encounter some problems like:

- it's nearly impossible to turn device ON with sim inside !! it stuck at the PIN menu - touchscreen is dead...
after some ( about 5 ) replies finally it runs normally

- BatteryStatus is enormously p***** off with message: thank you for using, its shareware and you can use it as it is...

- it has huuuge memory leakage ( i can not reboot, becouse of turning on problems )


any ideas ?

WoW!:eek:
If you are talking about the black edition from 1st post...I don't know what went wrong in your case, but I didn't face any of the above problems!
Only advice is to do a HardReset and reflash without any cards inserted!
If you are talking about the test versions, thanks for the feedback. I'm still testing some stuff myself and had a kind of a freeze when I used my old 1GB microSD! Till now no problems with BatteryStatus or memory leak!

Regards!

*ps: Did a minor hex editing in ROMs and uploaded again in order to test if an ELF "sees" the 4MB Pagepool!

[jackolus]

memory leakage isn't so important - running on 16-17mb is enough...

it's quite disapointing with this turning on feature, becouse it really is the best rom i've ever use so far ! of course i'm using black edition from the first post, downloaded about 2weeks ago.

I just realise that i'm erase SIP change and startmenu from autostart (ooops) - now it's back and we'll see is it change anything ;)

oh... and just one thing
in batterystatus proc is from 121 to 286mhz but when i'm opening a windows folder it takes a looong seconds when it's done - maybe it sounds ridicilous but comparing to other roms it's seriously slow :(

[ckpv5]

Hi Kokotas

Found two problems on my Elf so far.

a) There is no Contact softkey in the Dialpad. But pressing the spot will bring up the icontact. The wording "Contact" is missing.

b) Unable to create New Text Msg (SMS). In normal mode is worse, no reply and no new msg. at least in the threaded SMS, still can reply SMS.

**SOLVED - reinstalled SMS Tweaker, new sms can be created either in Normal Mode or Threaded Mode, same goes when click SMS in the iContact, now it goes into New SMS creation screen.

Is it this time your test ROM is not compatible for Elf??!!

I'm facing two of those problems as well. I'm facing some memory leakage, not as much as original Rogers ROM, but yeah the BatteryStatus message is really getting to me.

Hi ckpv5!
a)I had just removed the word-it's blank,but the "button" is still there!I thought that it's not really useful having contacts there since you have smartdialing!
b)So I realized myself!I'll have to try to fix or remove SMS Tweaker!
Thanks again man!You are helping me a lot!
Regards!

[ckpv5]

Hi Kokotas

Re the item (a).. yes.. just notice that on the screenshot on the first page.
No problem at all... as long as pressing the blank space will brings up the iContact, I am happy as I really like to dial a number thru the iContact rather than the smartdialing. It's more convenience to me.. anyway it is a personal preference.

I'm facing problem with AdvancedConfig. When I want to browse the Storage Card to select a location, error will pop up. It says "Please install NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab". Will check if my Storage Card is corrupted. Will you recheck the NetCF ?

Rgds

[kokotas]

Temporary holding this..

[ckpv5]

Thanks Kokotas

Flashed the updated ROM. Yes, SMS and NETCF are working fine. The memory management is better than the previous one. Leaving it overnight, the available memory is around 22-23MB (this is after full software installation).

Sync with VistaPC is still a problem. Others... none so far.

Thank you for this great ROM. When do you expect to release an updated core?

Memory After Flashing:
Free Storage Memory - 59.74MB
Free Program Memory - 24.71MB

Hi ckpv5!
That problem with Vista Sync is getting really irritating to me!
Next week I am getting a new Vista_Laptop!
When I'm done with my exams, I'll try cooking with Vista and then I think that I'll solve any Sync problems and try to port a newer build! [I found the Diamond's new build, but can't find Xperia's:(]

Hi there!
The 4MB(&18MB)PP_ROM doesn't have the same applications (eg:BatteryStatus) as the BlackEdition in first post, so no CLOCK!
BUT,You can add any Today Plugin you like!

Best Regards!

[ckpv5]

Hi Kokotas

Good to know you've found the Diamond build. Eagerly waiting for the updated Light ROM.

Xperia ??!!... well tried that, do not feel it as good as the Diamond one. The diamond one is faster but your ROM is still the fastest for my Elf.

Good luck for your exams.

[PtN.009]

wht to ??
'v downloaded this light version ... i got htc p3450 elf...
it stops updating on 3% & give error report.. corrupted image file...:mad::confused::eek:
plz....
'm tired of using original os... in need of updated version

[kokotas]

My advice...Download once again the ROM and follow the steps bellow(from First Post):

$Links$:
1.Capture ELF/ELFIN Device ID and CID ID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2053472&posted=1#post2053472)
2.Elf_Howto Dump Rom (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom) , Tools for doing that;) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2120814&postcount=66)
3.Help collecting Elf/Elfin Original Roms Model Id & Cid Ids (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379034)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Some instructions:
1.CID Unlock your phone! Look here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1402844&postcount=1) if you have SPL-1.1X.0000 and here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2029798&postcount=32) if you have SPL-2.2X.0000.
DO NOT CONTINUE, UNLESS YOU CHECK (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2165086&postcount=54) THAT THE CID_UNLOCKER WORKED!
2.After removing SIM & microSD cards, connect to PC & enter Bootloader (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_Resets)!
3.Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe & wait to finish!
That's it!
In this way you'll have a back-up of your original ROM
and
you could safely proceed (after CID unlocking) with flashing any custom ROM, not just mine!
Regards!

@ckpv5: Thanx for trying it on Elf!
Thats good news!:D

@vibranze: ROM version is showing 2.26.110.51B because I didn't change the mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml found in bepe's kitchen!

@ababrekar: I'll probably post a sort of "HowTo" today:)
But I still can't remove the useless managed programs, domain enroll, encryption completely:( Have to search and try more!

@fuji: No greek keyboard there! It's WWE!

Good luck & have fun with your ROMs brothers!;)

Hi!
I know that you're facing a big problem and you don't need me telling you
"What were you thinking, flashing your ARTEMIS with a ROM for another device.."
but there is a big chance that you killed your pda!
I guess (wish) that you had CID unlocked your phone before flashing
and that you're able to enter bootloader.
So check here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306904) and basically ask in Artemis upgrading (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=318) for further assistance to your problem.
Regards!

ps:I had totally forgotten this thread and these roms..
My advice: Don't use these:) They were my first cooking attempt and were "incomplete":)
Someone may want to try them, so I'll keep them available, but better flash (for daily use) some fresh and stable ROMs!

[erwinsie]

very classic.. some1 just accidentaly go to elf forum, (maybe) entered random thread, pick a rom, and flash it to their phone (non elf) lol
read read read thats the key - but what i can say, with latest ipl and spl, flashing a rom now is VERY VERY easy to do- at least for elf in my case.

[dsixda]

How are people able to afford these phones if they can't even figure out that an Elf ROM is only for Elfs?

Oh well, at least Kokotas got some exposure for his ROM :)
