dcd's titan ROMs & kitchen 3.0.4

[wbvczar]

I have installed this ROM and everything is working fine. Thanks DCD!

I did notice that I no longer have the Sliding Sound available. Is there a way to add it back in? I have searched the forums and found posts but nothing conclusive. How can I add it back in?

Thanks in advance.

dcd removes the sliding sound by default in precooked roms.
If you want the sliding sound enabled you need to add it as an option when cooking your own rom in the kitchen. The option is right there in the kitchen. you just have to select it.

[wbvczar]

Thanks for the replies. Since I have the DCD rom already installed, I would rather not have to redo it (and call Verizon again). Can I get the HTC sliding sound software anywhere, or how can I use what is in the kitchen?

The sliding sound in his kitchen is an OEM. The only way to use it is to reflash the rom. Just for your information though, if you already have the latest radio and dcd's latest rom, you will not have to call verizon if you reflash it again.

[azclown]

I did find a sliding sound cab file here

http://rs262.rapidshare.com/files/93019505/PLAzmAs_Sliding_Sound_pack_for_Windows_Mobile_V2.r ar

Not sure whether it is functional as I don't like the sliding sound myself, but have at it and let the rest of us know, if you would....

Here's the link of where I found the link..... So read away before you install.....

WOW - Your insightful post makes everyone just wanna jump up and help... If you are having issues, EXPLAIN what the issue is exactly, explain your current setup to us, so that we can start somewhere with an explanation for why YOU screwed up YOUR phone..... We need to know what ROM you were running , what bootloader you are currently running, what radio you currently have loaded..... Then we can assist YOU fix the phone....

[aguas]

hey dcd, love everything about your ROM, but quick question.
the volume tweak on my phone is causing the speaker to go out because it is so loud switching from speakerphone to, err, non-speakerphone.

anyway to tone down the volume so the max isnt so loud?

[beaseac]

Thanks everyone for this FANTASTIC, and by fantastic I mean AWESOME, thread! I upped my XV6800 to the latest sprint rom and then flashed DCD 3.0.4 from the kitchen. It's fantastic! The only problem I ran into was not upping my bootloader, once I figured that out, and by that I mean READ it again, I was all set. I didn't have to call Verizon, it just took a little while for everything to start working. I had alot of signal loss at first but after a little bit of time it seemed to start working. Is this normal BTW?

Anyway, Thanks for all the hard work, especially DCD! I guess the only thing that would make it better is to have more "options" to add into the rom when cooking... but I'm happy! :)

Thanks men and women!

I clearly was NOT asking for help. I also was not asking for flaming. I was asking if anyone else was having the problem. I know how to fix the phone.

ALSO if i have 3.0.4 there is only ONE set up I could have.

everybody calm down, have a beer, try the new 3.49 rom and see if GPS/BT are as improved for you as they are for me, get ready for the wings game, and chill :)

coffey_joshua i have never seen what you described. my first guess would be reflashing the rom, but to answer your question no you are the first one ive heard of with that symptom.

[coffey_joshua]

exactly what is happening with 3.0.4, 3.35 radio, 2.40 olipro


is that my phone began to slow down extremely when trying to use PIE on a certain website trying to get directions. well a screen popped up saying i should close a program to free more memory. ( i only had my contacts and PIE running) so i did a soft reset because it was not responding. It went to the boot loader screen. I was heading out to a big festival while this happened. So i just took the battery out and left it in my car over night, put the battery back in the next morning and it started up with all my programs, info, no problems at all.

well last night i changed some registry things for gps and did a soft reset. It went to boot loader screen. so i tried to run exitbootloader. It would not make a connection. So i took the battery out. Plugged the phone into the charger with no battery, unplugged the phone, plugged the battery back in, and it worked fine.

[azclown]

Joshua - My apologies for coming off as flaming you. It just that when I read your post I had no info to go with to help.... sorry

As for the issue you are having - 3.0.4 does not work well with the 3.27 radio. You need to have either 3.35, 3.37, or the newest 3.39 radio on the phone for any 3.0.4 ROM to work.... As DCD suggested, flashthe latest "official" sprint ROM to get the latest radio, and then put DCD 3.0.4 back on the phone, it will clear up the soft reset issue....

[kockroach]

exactly what is happening with 3.0.4, 3.27 radio, 2.40 olipro
Might be good to upgrade your radio to 3.35.04 first. If you look at the first post, it says it is required.

I have seen that "free memory" problem, but that was before 3.0.4 was released. Once I switched to 3.0.4 and the 3.35.04 radio, I haven't seen that problem. However, I was having a GPS problem. Reflashing did the trick. I am actually on the newer 3.37.20 radio now. Everything is working perfect.

EDIT: azclown you're too fast...you beat me to it.

[coffey_joshua]

sorry not 3.27 i've been running 3.35.04
I've been running this set up since dcd put it out and i have not had a problem except for this bootloader thing

and it has only happened twice but it has happened only when i soft reset

[ebb]

I'm just going to flash the 3.39 radio alone on Monday. I found 3.37 too buggy with bluetooth, and am back on 3.35, which is very stable with DCD 3.04, but still an occasional BT shut down. Hopefully 3.39 will be a step forward.

[retro-linux]

I just flashed to the latest DCD ROM, and I feel like I'm playing wack-a-mole with Activesync--it is constantly launching. Also, my phone won't remain disconnected from EVDO or 1X. The moment I use comm manager to disconnect, it dials again. I don't have any programs running except Activesync. Yes, I've tried the fake server trick (about 10 times...).

[azclown]

Get shaaps advanced config - Cook that into the ROM and use it to set your connection to close at whatever interval you want, I have it at 30 secs.....

[clamknuckle]

A word of caution on advanced config and playing around with connection settings. Anytime I install advanced config or change my registry to disconnect the data connection, I am unable to answer incoming calls most of the time.

I seem to be in the minority, but I'm not the only one that's reported this, and I personally think I've nailed it down to something to do with Active Sync being active when the incoming call comes in. If I have active sync running, I can't answer the call, if I close active sync, I can. Problem is, I need active sync, so these hacks and such aren't an option for me right now.

It probably won't affect you at all, but I wanted to post just because I spent like 5 days trying to figure out what the issue was.

I am totally with you clam. The advanced config can be traced back as the culprit for a lot of users problems. I have seen at least 3 different threads about problems that have finnaly been traced back to the shaaps advanced config installation. (Not all have been in the titan forum so you might bnot have seen the problems that ppl have been having).

ebb. The 3.37 radio is great for gps (I am now certain that it gets better gps lock) but bluetooth can be spotty. I havent had too many problems, but others have.

Hey Clam - What version of Shaaps are(were) you using, and if you would, could you list all the OEM's that you cook into the ROM.... I've used Shapps since DCD's 2.3.0 kitchen and never had any incoming call issue like that.... However, I am using quickmenu OEM and have another OEM that sets the registry settings so that active sync is turned off by default.... I will test by disabling the quickmenu option for active sync and then running active sync, and calling myself from a 3rd party phone..... I'll report back when done.....

hey dcd, love everything about the ROM, but quick question.
the volume tweak caused my phone's speaker to blow this morning, so im working on getting a new phone (no more refurbs :mad: ) i think it is too loud switching from speakerphone to non-speakerphone.

anyway to tone down the volume so the max isnt so loud?

[domineus]

hi all sorry I love dcd's rom just...
well I use the buildos in the ppcgeeks kitchen instead of another buildos
I was wondering for anyone that has used another buildos has arcsoft 5 worked with dcd's kitchen? I would love to use it and not the 3.4 from ppcgeeks kitchen

I had a thread around here somewhere, but I was using the newest one available I believe. I was using pretty much bare bones stuff at the time, I did it on both nuerom and dcd, and both had the same result.

dont want to get too nosy, but im dieing to know when the next release will be, if there's even a planned date. thanks for the great work DCD!

umm, maybe today. im happy with my titan since 3.49 leaked...
go flash the new radio 3.39.10 (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26119) and ill update soon

[clamknuckle]

I went to 3.49, but went back to 3.0.4 when I noticed the only difference was that 3.49 was slower.

[kashabrown]

Noticed the new 3.1 ROM - I d/l the kitchen - I have a Verizon Titan - also noticed the carrier .cab - after reading these last posts, I guess there is a new radio rom out there also. Just wondering what the order would be - flash the new kitchen then install a verizon cab? Just a newbie who has utilized your software up to now with great admiration!

[jbot]

I'm have currently flashed my verizon xv6800 to ultimately have dcd 3.0.4 with alltel radio 3.37.

I have read where you can't let the alltel rom boot. i thought i got it back into the bootloader in time, but i still get the alltel splash after the htc splash when the device reboots. once in my phone, everything references verizon. is this the way it is supposed to be, or do i need to go back to the stock rom/radio and start over?

[Sidewind75]

Can someone please point me to the Original rom for verizon xv6800...ive been searching for it with no luck a few links i found were dead. i would also need the relocker and the radio rom too i believe

Thx in advance

I am on VZW as well and have the same issue with the alltel splash screen. I did not let the customizations run and reflashed 3.0.4 before booting the phone. The phone operates on Verizon's network and has no other known issues than the splash screen. I was going to upgrade to the new sprint radio 3.39? and then reflash DCD 3.0.4 over the radio to get rid of the alltel splash, will this work anyone have a better idea?

Edit: Updated to sprint radio and 3.1.1
Thanks DCD

[kflipproductions]

hey guys i hope im not wasting anyone's time with this.

i started out flashing my xv6800 with dcd 2.3.2. everything worked great (including gps) besides the fact that i couldnt hear ringtones. so I upgraded to 3.0.4. everything pretty well, the gps is really slow sometimes, but the speakerphone volume is so much softer than the 2.3.2. am i missing something? i flashed both the official 3.0.4 and one i cooked and its the same volume. any thoughts? thanks in advance.

Rom version: dcd 3.0.4

Yes, but you have to know what you're doing. What are you trying to cab, it's very likely that a cab exists already.

[kflipproductions]

Yes, but you have to know what you're doing. What are you trying to cab, it's very likely that a cab exists already.
i wasn't thinking anything specific right now. i seem to get different results, even when reflashing the same exact rom i flashed before. most of the time its something with the gps. i have an old xv6800 that i have to send back to asurion pretty soon and ive been doing alot of testing on that, so if i flash a rom thats working well for me, i would try to add components that i skipped in the kitchen.

[kflipproductions]

Recently upgraded my Verizon XV6800 to Radio 3.35.04 and dcd's 3.0.4 ROM.
...I'm running Holux Viewer 1.5. Previously, COM4 would go stupid when I put the phone in standby (using the power switch) and I'd have to soft reset to wake up the port. Now, GPSToday, GoogleMaps, Yahoo2Go and TomTom 6.75 all get an accurate fix within seconds with HV running in the Power Save mode...


where are you getting Holux Viewer 1.5? is it a component in the kitchen? i cant check right now because my laptop is an effin vista and it blows dick. i do all my flashing from my xp office machine.

kflip, the holux gps viewer 1.5 that automatically defaults to com 4 was hacked by TalynOne. You can get it in the first page of his thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363431

I think the attachment is in the second post. Don't get the 1st version he linked, get the second one a few lines down in the post. The second one is the one that defaults to com4.

Is there any reason why doing a full back up using SPB Backup would cause issues on the phone? My symptoms are:



All today plugins are broken (missing links, and most plugins say that they have been uninstalled)
navigating anywhere from today (spb menu, file explorer, Now screen) freezes device
soft resetting does nothing
reflashing and restoring the backup does nothing
removing battery does nothing
sometimes, if i'm quick about it, i can navigate away and quickly close out whatever i open, after which today screen will refresh and everything is normal


hmmm...?

Ok..rule of thumb...you NEVER restore a complete backup with spb backup after flashing your rom. PIM data is ok, but never a full backup.

[kflipproductions]

wish i had known that. it worked bomb the first few times.

[kflipproductions]

hmm interesting note though, both my xv6800s are running dcd 3.0.4 and radio 3.35.04. i tried a full restore on the first 6800, on the same rom that i backed it up on. i have tried restoring the backup and previous backups several times on it, with no change. i reflashed my second 6800, restored the backup, and got the same issue with a little improvement. but overall, reflashing does not seem to make a different. another interesting note is that i had these issues BEFORE i restored, immediately following my latest back up.

**i booted in safe mode, and without all the today plug-ins booting at startup everything runs incredibly fast and doesnt freeze up. after reseting from safemode, everything looks ok so far.

what is the best solution (if any) to completely backup my xv6800 so that if i hard reset i can get all my programs, registry, and settings just like i had them?

[gc14]

what is the best solution (if any) to completely backup my xv6800 so that if i hard reset i can get all my programs, registry, and settings just like i had them?

For programs, registry, and settings...I find that the best, most efficient way to do this is with UC. Currently I have UC installing all my programs then it runs 3 XML provisioning files, one for my registry, one for my file operations, and one sets up my email accounts and exchange settings. This is automatically done for me after every flash or hard reset (providing you cooked UC into your rom). I'm aware it can all be done using one large XML, but I find it's easier to go in and make changes/edits if I break it up into the 3.

For PIM data, I use PIM Backup...it's easy, fast, and reliable.

[kflipproductions]

im not sure how its possible, but i effed up my stuff pretty hard. im guessing its a registry issue with the programs that are supposed to start up in Today. blah. hooray for starting from scratch!

[kflipproductions]

thanks but i think im all set for right now. ill probably end up reflashing soon. i ended up restoring my next oldest backup, and just uninstalled and reinstalled all my spb apps. i had the today screen fail just once, and it corrected itself quickly. so im not sure if its an item i have in today, or if its because of the restore

[craig540]

My keyboard light not lighting up since this rom was installed.
Any fix ?

[kflipproductions]

Ok..rule of thumb...you NEVER restore a complete backup with spb backup after flashing your rom. PIM data is ok, but never a full backup.

are there any known issues with this rom and spb pocket plus? it looks like pocketplus is what is causing my problems. i did a hard reset and loaded up my spb apps one by one, and after installing pocket plus i had the same issues with today crashing. it seems like its just the pocketplus today plugin, because i uninstalled just that component and everything is fine.

any thoughts?

is this thread still active? I know dc 3.1.2 came out. I am trying to decide which version i want to upgrade from 2.3.2. it seems that 3.1.2 is having issues... but maybe i am wrong. so I guess I am looking for verizon users of 3.0.4 to give me their opinions on its benefits from 2.3.2. And if anyone is debating upgrading to 3.1.2. To me it seems like the 3.0.4 and the 3.1.2 are almost identical. I have read through both posts from start to finish. This can be discussed via PMs if it's preferred, i dont want to hijack this post.

hey quick quetions, for this:

You'll need the Sprint 3.49 pre-release update to get the radio, OR if you know how, you can flash JUST the radio via the SD card method.( doesn't work for me, my SD card not compatible)

Just get an active sync connection with the phone and run the Sprint update, DO NOT let the customizations run. At this point you put the phone in bootloader mode ( POWER + CAMERA + RESET) tricolor screen.

How to I stop the customization from running on the Sprint update? "DO NOT let the customizations run."

Guys there is no need to soft reset, or even get that far....as soon as the device boots it will stop at the screen where it says "Tap screen to setup device." From this screen, activesync will connect so you can flash a custom rom, or you can unplug and flash from an sd card.

Hey guys

anyone having random, inconsistent performance with their GPS? Some (clear) days it will lock in GPStoday or Google Maps in less then 10 seconds, Some (clear) days it takes a minute, and some (clear) days it doesn't seem like it will lock at all. Sometimes i get faster locks on cloudy days, which was pretty surprising. i do all the basics to get the GPS going (soft reset, location off then back on, gps viewer, quick gps, *22802, then prime with Google Maps)

any thoughts?

Unfortunately, GPS on the xv6800 will always be inconsistent until an official software update from Verizon gets released. Even then, it still may be inconsistent unless we are able to extract the Verizon PDE (aGPS) server information. Sprint customers are able to obtain locks within seconds only because they are connecting to an aGPS PDE server and are using aGPS. Verizon does use aGPS for their VzNavigator software, but it's proprietary and we have not been able to even see if they use a standard protocol yet. Bottom line, until the xv6800's start using aGPS, the time which it takes to obtain a lock will be inconsistent no matter what steps one takes to try and speed it up. Keep your fingers crossed for an official software update.

I asked this exact question several weeks ago and nobody responded so here's my .02$. I had DCD 3.0.1 and can't remember what old radio version but I was curious about the benefits to updating. I was very happy with my old setup. Several posters here talked about the benefits of the new radio and its stability and I didn't see any real benefit to upgrading the ROM other than I was anxious to 'tinker' and try something new. I upgraded to DCD 3.1.2/3.39 and so far I'm happy with it. Nothing earth shaking as far as improvements for me. Maybe a small improvement in radio signal but again thats probably subjective since I'm on Alltel and live in the sticks! Same programs seem to work fine as before but I don't have anything too complex on my device. I don't text or care about picture messages, etc so I can't tell you if that stuff is better or worse. I'd say try it...probably not gonna hurt anything.

nothing specific. just floatin around the dcd 3.1.2 thread and it seemed like alot of people were having alot of problems.

I ran 3.1.2 for a long time, both while it was in testing and then after it was released and found no issues with it besides dcd just forgetting to include the 1% battery dll's in from 3.0.4. That is easily fixable by just copying and pasting them out of the 3.0.4 kitchen. Right now I'm running the newest test build and the battery dll issue is corrected.

3.1.2 uses updated drivers, I suggest you update.

i had to fix several things in 3.0.4, such as

a new dialer
MMS settings
the volume tweak
vibrate not stopping with ringtone

kind of a hassle. will i have to worry about any of that with 3.1.2?

I do like the new dialer better in 3.1.2 and have not had the vibrate issue. No volume tweak was needed for me and I can't help you with the MMS settings issue.

is there a 100% reliable way to backup everything on 3.0.4? is there a way to create a rom image out of everything i currently have, so if i dont like 3.1.2 i can just reflash to my own 3.0.4 rom that i made with all my settings and programs and what not?

EDIT:

i'm using this dialer and i love it

Well I was flipping back and forth between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 for awhile and I used Sprite backup to greatly speed up reinstallation of everything. Its actually very easy...just flash the clean ROM and then restore everything with Sprite. I would carefully check on the compatibility of going to radio 3.39 and then going back to your old radio...gcincotta is much more knowledgable about that than I. He could advise if there would be a problem going back to an older radio even though its GPS. I know its been discussed I just can't remember what was stated. Personally, I wouldn't want to go back to the older radio now since I can't see a good reason to.

3.39.10 is compatible with 3.0.4 so i shouldnt have to go back to the older radio. i'm familiar with Sprite Backup i actually already have it. but instead of doing that, i want to make an actual rom image out of what i currently have on my phone, that i could use RUU to reflash if i wanted to. is that possible?

You don't have to do anything with the radio. As far as using sprite backup, I highly advise you not to use it unless you're backing up PIM data only, as using it for full backups when changing roms will mess up your device.

dialer: choose the vogue phone canvas in the kitchen
mms settings: install this cab after the flash and soft reset 91462
volume tweak: install this cab after the flash and soft reset 91463
vibrate issue: have never seen it with 3.1.2

Also don't forget to install the verizon carrier cab posted on the first page of the 3.1.2 thread. It's required and should be installed first after the flash.

I don't know...I did a search quite awhile ago on 'backup' before I upgraded to find out the same thing you're asking. I never did find an answer that said it was possible to do what you're asking. Everything I read kept suggesting using Sprite or SPB backup. Honestly, using Sprite it restores everything...registry...settings...tweaks...the whole thing. I just flashed the clean ROM...and then using the default file explorer...went to my storage card and clicked on my recent backup and 'poof' I have my device back just the way it was before.

gcincotta is right about not using Sprite across different ROMS (tried that...what a mess)...what I mean is you can backup your 3.0.4 device. Then try your new ROM...if you don't like it...you re-flash your 3.0.4 ROM and then use your 3.0.4 Sprite backup to reinstall your software. Worked fine for me.

do you know of any way to make a rom image out of everything i currently have on my phone? maybe i'm not asking this question right. i want to ability to flash my phone with anything id like, but then have the ability to reflash to the rom i made with all my settings, files, contacts, programs, today screen, everything. i understand that turning everything i have now on my phone into a ROM image will make all my programs and what not part of the rom and they cant be removed, but it would still be a cool thing to be able to do because as far as I'm concerned, the way my phone is right now is how i will keep it.

No, there is no way to do what you're asking. The closest thing available would be using UC (which was enabled on these roms for that reason, yet hardly anyone uses it). There's a link to UC on the first page of 3.1.2 to read more about it.

is what blueglide said right about doing a full backup and just restoring on the same rom version?

If you're using the same rom version, I've heard that it works. I can't speak from experience as I don't do it. I don't do it for the same reason I don't create a backup of my pc, then when it comes time to start from scratch, just use the backup. When I format my pc, I format it and reinstall everything to ensure it's clean. I do the same with my WM devices.

[kflipproductions]

i guess thats what I'm gunna have to do. i dont think ill have to patience to learn all this UC stuff right now. ill probably just stick with 3.0.4 until i decide i dont like it or i find something significantly better

Is there a reason you want this rom and not the latest and greatest?

Download the Kitchen. Then run BuildNB.Bat 3.0.4 Kitchen (http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/kitchens/dcd_titan_kitchen_3.0.4.rar)

Because I'm a nice guy... I'll download the kitchen... and build it for you. But.... it will be uploaded to Rapidshare since that is the only way I can upload such a large file.....

Doesn't work? I'm using it as we speak. Did you load the correct radio and the correct bootloader to go with it?

[arivis]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[nitro66215]

Thank you so much for sharing.

It's uploading the Rapidshare as we speak....um... I mean... post.... :D

[nitro66215]

Thank you so much for sharing.
I downloaded the kitchen... built it with the default options that DCD had selected... and have posted a self-extracting / Self-running package. You need to have an activesync connection for this to run.

Nitro's DCD 3.0.4 (http://rapidshare.com/files/138314421/Nitro-DCD_3.0.4.exe.html)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVICE FAILURE DUE TO THE INSTALL OF THIS SOFTWARE!

Did that help?
