[MAY 23] The end is nigh DeathV2 ***No longer supported***

[shogunmark]

Ok, so im not going to host a closed beta this time. Im going to open this up to everyone!

First and formost its impossible to thank everyone involved, so to keep it short and sweet im just going to thank the whole community!

Down to business!
This is based on the latest ATT rom posted by incognitho
19213 build with 1.65.20.29 radio
I also kept the radio with this because this rom is optimised for that particular radio. Other radios will work.

This also has the settings for ATT, so if your an ATT customer then there is no need to add/change internet settings, etc. If you are not with ATT then you will need to change these. Since this is in beta at the moment i have no plan to remove these. In all honesty, i tailored this rom around me, added a few popular apps and decided to share it. If you dont like it then there are tons of other roms floating around for you to flash!

This rom is also UC compliant!

Apps in the rom
-netcfV3.5
-Total Commander *The ftp plug-in has the xda ftp built in.
-Blue Switch *just a simple bluetooth toggle (on/off)
-HushSMS *i just love the MWI feature, its fun to mess with people :D
-SMS Scheduler
-VipPimRingtone
-MS Hearts
-MS Cubicle
-Dopewars
-LocationSMS
-VisualGPSce
-FlashLite
-CorePlayer
-YouTubePLayer
-Clear Temp
-GXmark
-JeyoSMS backup
-PocketRAR
-Power Manager
-VXutil
-WiFiFoFum
-VNC
-WifiProfiles
-Personalizer *this app allows you to put any text for your cell provider name
-AdvancedConfig
-Modaco CamerAware * i mainly use this for navizon
-Modaco Donate
-Modaco AppToDate

-Incax suite that includes IX cam recorder, IX security cam and Livecam
For more info on these apps please visit them at http://www.incax.com/ and also check out the test thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386477
Its basically a neat little app to let you stream video from your phone ;)

And tons of reg changes, to many to list!

Looking good.

How is the battery life for you on the 1.65.20.29 radio?

[support]

Today is 23 - May - 08

Downloading :D

[neva dinova]

flame me if you want but i have never been more ready for my kaiser to experience Death

[Grumps]

You do know its May 23 right?

[shogunmark]

Looking good.

How is the battery life for you on the 1.65.20.29 radio?

to be honest, im not sure.. its rare that i dont usually have it plugged in somewhere.. whether in my cradle at work, or driving in my car, its almost always got power..

[shogunmark]

its late.. i overlooked the month a little :D but at least i can catch spelling errors :D

You kiddies have fun flashing.. im going to bed, its been a hot day in the kitchen!

[bbrain]

this ROM is from the future for me, only the 22nd over here :p

[conceptcar3]

can anyone tell me why this rom is named DEATH lol... im scared to flash

[walshieau]

can anyone tell me why this rom is named DEATH lol... im scared to flash

cause when you flash it, it then marks all blocks in your NAND as FF

[shogunmark]

LMFAO that's good... its a conspiracy.. i wanted to post all these great things about this rom, get everyone to flash it and brick their phones so they would have to send them back, then we would blame it on poor video drivers and file suite against HTC..

anyway, back to reality.. im really going to bed this time

Thanks shogun for sharing this !

Let the ROM flashing party continue !

[NFRCER]

Congrats on the new rom shogun

[slovoflud]

Nice ROM. I may stay with this one for a bit...

BTW, what is the O2 Wireless Plugin supposed to show in the top left after the clock? I get "Unavailable"...

Edit:
Sorry - almost embarrassing :) the solution is in Settings>system>personalizer


--same here - i thought it might be my radio - flashed that - a nd still Unavailable. probably just looking for the O2 network... don't know

[robosiris]

Congrats on the rom. What's the free memory like, regarding 'Program' and 'Storage', before personalizing/installing apps .. anyone?

[Dredd67]

No sound for me with this ROM. Weird cause I had the same radio before with v1 and was working like a charm.

[slovoflud]

is anyone having problems with connecting to the internet through USB? and ActiveSync in general. having trouble installing apps though USB (automapa)

[pauljohn54]

So far so good. One very noticeable thing is my videos. On other ROMS even WMV files that I specifically encoded to play on pocket pc did not play well with high loss of frames but I just clicked on one and even with the default media player they play well.

A little bit more exploring and the great thing about this ROM is not what you can see (which is still appealing) but what you cannot see. The rom is smooth and stable not the fatest so far tested but not much of a difference.

Do not know what you did for the video but it works so much better. Only gripe so far is Skype not working and the fact that because this is a 1.65 radio I assume I cannot use the 1.58.16.27 which so far has given me the best GPS experience.

Thanks very much for allowing public testing will anxiously await your future releases.

[DaGreek]

is there an app same like connection-wizard or something else...

can find manually voadafone bute cant select. the kaiser choose automatic ATM..

have usa a other radio but doesnt help.

can anybody help me

ps: great rom :D

[webvan]

Wow, this ROM rocks, just tried the Dutty Diamond and it just didn't work for me.

The "internet sharing" seems a bit odd, HTC old style ?, will see if I can make it work.

[ahassouna]

well this is my first rom to flash on my kaiser and it's great, only problem is the IGO 2006 is not working, any idea how to get it to work pls?

[PostDeals]

Does anyone know how to make SKYPE work on this?
I know other roms have a fix for skype in their rom. I am a Dutty fan but Skype is critical since I am on the phone all the time during my travels.

Has anyone tried to use MIOMAP with the Today screen does that work?

[webvan]

Found the new version in \programs\web - odd thing is that adding "internet sharing" in the Comm manager with the Advanced Tools shows the old "wireless modem" app !

[shogunmark]

LIke i said, its totally beta....
I dont use skype or igo, miomap, etc.. if there are specific fixes to make these things work and you know where they are at then provide a link and i will see what i can do to incorporate into my next version!

I will also update with the mirrors.

[ceevee369]

thanks Shogun.

i was attracted to the GX mark you had but I do not get better than 1588 (OK la) after 2 Hard and soft resets. This might explain different 7200 chipsets in the full year production me think.

Can't find the provider tweaker and am nothing with medianet settings her in taiwan :D
Will wait for a polished version. Wish you luck - and many fruitfull hours-

PS. the guy who comes for us all in your intro screen scared my cat. :(

[shogunmark]

is anyone having problems with connecting to the internet through USB? and ActiveSync in general. having trouble installing apps though USB (automapa)

This shouldnt be a problem, all of my tests before releasing this were done through activesync, testing internet, installing apps, etc... then popped in my sim to verify everything else.

[NotATreoFan]

Really?

...then we would blame it on poor video drivers and file suite against HTC.. .

no sound initially when the "tap the screen to setup begins" or after customization? because i eliminated that stupid beep at the tap screen :D

OK :) just found out that we're now connected through a proxy, that's what was causing problems. Automapa works fine now - just had to fully delete all files from SD card before installing it onto your ROM.
as I said - the ROM is great, a few things which concern most people (like Skype) is a little problem, but still as you said - it's still a beta, and we're all here to help :)

Look for HTC ConnectionSetup cab file (look in NoThrills thread if you can't find it anywhere else).

[bojaniste]

Does anyone has link for skype fix or something???? please provide, skype is very important for me... Beside skype, this is the best rom so far

[robosiris]

I've asked before but can someone tell me the free (storage and program)memory usage for this rom? Thanks again. I'm asking because it hasn't a pic or info hasn't been posted. Thanks in advance.

I got the Coreplayer black screen, it comes around every once in awhile. If I switch to Raw or ddraw from Qtv & then go back to Qtv it's fine again for a few resets.

[ceevee369]

Thanks. i disables ATT and medianet, but still needed to use the config cab.
1 thing i can guarantee so far after having tested latest releases from the last 2 days :
Shogun's is DAMN fast despite an "above average" GXmark score

Shogu, tell me how you reached the +1700 mark. Any other tweaks you did before release/ cache to 8Mb instead of 4?

EDIT:
Q1 ; where I normally see my provider, above clock and on left of dat, it says 'Wasted space here" how to remove?
Q2: did something wrong and now i see constantly a Bluetooth micro logo in right down corner flashing. Answer; BT logo flashes if mobile is in discoverable mode.
Q3 ; I swear that I did not see any faster ROM out of the kitchen. You did something amizing here. used the Dutch Diamond as base? (though there seems to be plenty of O2 around, and I never saw a GUI like that )
i am gonn spend a long time here me think

[Dredd67]

no sound initially when the "tap the screen to setup begins" or after customization? because i eliminated that stupid beep at the tap screen :D

LOL no, i didn't gave up so fast ;)

Currently running dutty's latest, but will propably give your rom a second chance. Maybe it was just a bad flash.:confused:

I ran the gxmark right after a flash, nothing installed, radio off, etc...

Q1. "Wasted Space Here" Problem is from running the personalizer. Just go back and re-run and enter in custom text, your provider name. or you can uninstall it from the add remove programs. That app allows you to display custom text there.

Q2. i didnt know that lol

Q3. i used the latest ATT rom as a base, but happen to like alot of the o2 plug-ins... i had made a cab along time ago of all of their plug-ins but never published it. Figured i would include them.

This is rom is like a hell faster than any other roms. Is there anyway I can use youtube. Man I like this rom an stick with it. Thanks.

[Dredd67]

By the way i like the red theme... What kind of music do you listen to ? Must be something like Sepultura, Megadeth or even worse :D

[ouminan]

An update on the coreplayer thing. This looks like it's related to the new video drivers? Coreplayer has a special rendering mode that worked around the busted video drivers for the Qualcomm chipset called QTv.

Apparently the new HTC drivers is causing issues with Coreplayer's QTv mode. However, I've switched to DirectDraw and turned off dithering and turned on smooth video to improve quality, and the benchmark dropped from 300% - 90fps (non-HTC driver + QTv) to 240% -73fps (HTC driver + directdraw).

However, if someone can patch the driver or patch coreplayer so they play nice together, QTv + HTC driver benchmarks at 360% - 108fps.

Can't wait. :)

[shogunmark]

This is rom is like a hell faster than any other roms. Is there anyway I can use youtube. Man I like this rom an stick with it. Thanks.

The youtubeplayer will play FLV videos... so you shouldnt have any issues using youtube... for more info see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227

By the way i like the red theme... What kind of music do you listen to ? Must be something like Sepultura, Megadeth or even worse :D

if you want a hint.. the default ringtone is Slayer's Raining Blood :D

[webvan]

That Youtube player is great indeed ! Wasn't aware of it.

Any idea why the Commmanager insists on showing the old wireless modem when you add "internet sharing" with advanced settings ?

[scotchua]

I'm getting this error when i try to run Jive messenger, not sure what's causing it, but there must be something taken out of this version that was in the last version because it worked fine on v1. Anybody know what causes this? Otherwise this is still one of my favorite roms i've tested. Skype isn't a big deal to me, and every other program i have works flawlessly. Just wanna figure out the issue with Jive since i think it's hands down the nicest IM app i've used to date.

**edit** it appears this is caused by roms where the chef stripped out SQLCE. I'm not sure where to check for that, since i've never looked for it before but thought i'd update with my progress thus far.

[mcmexican]

I have been using this ROM and have not had any issues at all including installing my Touchpal SIP that normally gives me issues. The ROM is very fast and the battery life is great so far been running it since last night.

The best i've used from XDA. I guess it pays having someone cook a ROM from within the states rather than someone from Europe.

Has anyone had any issues using this rom with voice speed dial and a Jabra BT500 headset? I can't get it to open speed dial. It just opens the phone. On 6.0 roms when this happened you could change the auido gateway key to OEMAGW.dll and that would fix it. Doesn't work with any of the latest att builds. Any ideas? On my hermes it uses BTAGEXT.dll and has no issues. However in this rom and any ATT rom recently it doesn't work. The headset can activate MS Voice Command.

I have a brief question on HushSMS - I've tried using it before and it will never send an anonymous message. The number always shows up to the other party making the app useless.

Take a look at this black skin dialer. Its alittle darker than stock.

[flame on o2]

Very nice anf FAST rom BUT its buggy and drains the battery very fast. Wait till you guys start using it normally you will see the drain (at least for me). When I go landscape and use clear type all the menus dissapear. tcmpc does not work and tomtom slows down at times with weird stuff happening. I noticed that fast roms cause problems for whatever reason. Thanks anyway hope it works for everypne else.

I am in the states myself and this is the best ROM by far, that I have used. I have found no bugs yet and have used all of Dutty's, Laurentis, etc. recently. Thumbs Up, I am a believer!

[sirooga]

I am getting a Mortscript loading error every time I reset or powercycle my phone. I was also wondering what Autoshortcut.Ink link is for in startup.

[ceevee369]

It is confirmed. Happy to say tha after flashing 15 ROMS in the last 5 days, this one steps out above the others. And I am not talking about what is on board or not, but in terms of stability, power consumption and radio.
I though I had something going on with L & D :D but it seems I am fully attracted to Death now. Gonna make a pact with the devil as I wanna polish this ROM to its utmost functionality.

This said, Shogun, the only isues I found untill now are:
Quick GPS malfunctions: no d-load via Net nor 3G.
Connects and says connection failed. Will try with new cab.
Can only find Com 1, 7 and 8 through GPSgate. Where are the other Com ports :confused:
Seems a similar set-up as Samsung old I780 COM setup? (O2 setup maybe?)

Again, I encourage all to give this one a try if you want to see a more than quick response on your device . it IS a keeper
Congrats Shogun, I envy the one whom makes Death alive :cool:

I agree this rom is great but I am not experiencing these issues you speak of, most likely because i own a tilt. I believe shogun included in this build the ATTsettings.cab, which would have to be removed if you're using the kaiser.

[ceevee369]

Bandana,

MY BAD. indeed, I forgot to run disable hidden proxy. Quick GPS works flawless now.
Will try other GPS related stuff and get back.

I notice that I now also have this "File Mortscript" cannot be opended Eror msg after soft reset.

SPB backup seems not to work.

[mcmexican]

Has anyone been missing calls on this? I have had 3 times today where I just get notified on a VM. It has wrong throughout to day many times. Just wondering is it not picking up some calls. Maybe I will just change radios.

-McMex

[dominicong]

Overall the rom was great but No video dialer :(

[redbandana]

there is no need for a video dialer considering a tilt doesn't have that option. The cook uses a Tilt and as he stated he build the rom around his preferences. However, you can install any dialer you like. There are plenty around the forum.

[tinpusher]

Great Rom! Really fast, and I like the progs you included.

Here's what I've noticed.

This Rom is as fast or faster than the

[May 19] L26_3.53.502.0_(AT&T_Source)_wm6.1_pro_v1, which was the fastest I'd found.

I finally found a rom (besides L26's "favorit") that runs Opera 9.5 (doesn't freeze).

TCPMP does not work for me. I get "Crash: Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit." I'm using 0.72RC1, which I've used (via UC) in all the previous roms I've loaded.

All my SPB programs work great, mobile shell is FAST.

Biggest bug I've noticed, and I hope its a bug and not the beginnings of a hardware problem, is screen flicker. When the device is in standby (or sleep, whatever its called when the screen is off), the screen flickers on (just a blank white screen) for a 1/2 second up to 5 seconds (it varies). Sometimes it happens many times a minute (4 or 5). Movement of the phone doesnt cause it, i.e. it happens sitting on the table. I have flashed this ROM 2 times, no hard resets (other than initial resets after flash), and I havent tried reflashing just the Radio to see if that fixes it. I've tried most of the dutty, L26, and an Alex ROM's since March (flashed probably 30 times with those ROM's), and I havent seen this before. I'll try to go back to the [May 19] L26_3.53.502.0_(AT&T_Source)_wm6.1_pro_v1 ROM and see if it still does it. First I'll try hard reset, and then Radio flash only to see if it changes. I have no touch issues, or other screen issues, everything else works great.

If anybody knows of something obvious that I've overlooked causing the flicker, by all means let me have it!


I'll hard reset now, but cant flash the radio until i get off work.

Update: after Hard Reset, TCPMP still not working, and screen flicker still there.

I agree this ROM seems very speedy.
Shogun, if you wouldn't mind letting go of some secrets, can you explain how you are able to quicken screen rotation?

I would say that your screen rotation speed it consistently about 1 second (1 mississippi). I have played with some other ROMs that were this fast, but others are less consistent taking between 1.5-2.5 seconds within the same ROM.

Even comparing yours to the build you cooked from the rotation is nice and speedy. While this doesn't make or break a ROM for me, I am very interested in what is influencing this.

thx.

[bengalih]

Oh I have another question regarding this ROM and pretty much all the new builds. What have they done to eat up all the extra memory?

Most of the older ROMs had about 101MB Total running with something like a 8-14MB page pool. All of the new builds show only 85MB Total and are running a Dynamic (12MB) page pool. So, I don't think this 15MB discrepancy is due to the Page Pool. This also doesn't seem to be reg entries or any caches, as that wouldn't be reflected in the Total, but the available. Can anyone shed any light on what has changed in these newer roms?

thx

Shogun. thanks for making an ATT specified rom. haven't flashed yet (been way to busy) is the proxy enable/disable included? no biggy if it isn't i have the cabs for it, but how about cingular video? I'm dying to flash but got way to much to do with memorial day coming up and all.

Props again your roms are always great! we can never have too many cooks!

Great Rom! Really fast, and I like the progs you included.

Here's what I've noticed.

This Rom is as fast or faster than the

I have the screen flicker as well in standby mode. I did have it with a couple of other ROM all of them being the more recent 6.1 ROMS. I will go back and look and see if I can identify the ROMS I saw it in. I had a few missed calls and wondered if it had anything to do with it not coming out of standby mode.

[kjb86]

I just have one question before I flash because every other ROM seems to be having this issue.

Does this version have the dreadful lag in the keyboard where it is very unresponsive?

[RizwanKhan]

For some of you who are interested, here's the theme I've made for the V2:


nice one .. :)

[shogunmark]

I agree this rom is great but I am not experiencing these issues you speak of, most likely because i own a tilt. I believe shogun included in this build the ATTsettings.cab, which would have to be removed if you're using the kaiser.

um no... i used no att settings cab, rather i used the mxip files from the oemoperater folder, i just modified them a bit :D Im not going to use a cab when the settings are already there ;)

@ceevee369
The quick gps problem could be the fact that i think the ATT proxy is on by default, if you run the disable proxy from the tools menu this should solve the problem. For the final release i will disable the proxy by default. This was just a mere oversight on my part. But all the com ports are there.. and the only thing that is O2 about this rom is their plugins.

[shogunmark]

Has anyone been missing calls on this? I have had 3 times today where I just get notified on a VM. It has wrong throughout to day many times. Just wondering is it not picking up some calls. Maybe I will just change radios.

-McMex

The radio from the official HTC build that was just released should work on this rom... and so does the radio from hell...

[shogunmark]

Overall the rom was great but No video dialer :(

yes, no video dialer, my test phone is a tilt which has not front cam, and my regular phone is a tytnII which has the front cam, but no need for it in the US since we dont do video calling...

This is a problem with the baserom, i used the latest ATT rom for the base and it has backlight issues, this is why i had left this unreleased until everyone from my closed beta told me to release it anyway.. so i did :D

I experience NO flicker or any screen issues at on my Tytn. Gonna run a GXmark soon again as this baby did not lost any juice (yet) it seems.

@shogun,

How to solve the "Can not run Mortscript" error message popping up after your dad's picture ?
As for GPS Att disabled settings helped for Quick GPS, though GPS sync (cold + Warm) are still very slow.
And where Garmin XT Mob normally COM 4 uses , this has now become COM8 as it seems that the device could not find any other ports. No clue what this means as I do see the ports in Bluetooth Com manager screen indeed.

Already one advice to include in your Death V3 : Connection wizard. it looks odd having this Turbo ROM though requiring to d-load a cab for this :D

[shogunmark]

Shogun. thanks for making an ATT specified rom. haven't flashed yet (been way to busy) is the proxy enable/disable included? no biggy if it isn't i have the cabs for it, but how about cingular video? I'm dying to flash but got way to much to do with memorial day coming up and all.

Props again your roms are always great! we can never have too many cooks!

the proxy enable/disable cabs are there, CV not built in.. basically i stripped it, and put in the internet/mms settings and used that for a base. I did leave the ATT dialer intact in case anyone wanted to enable PTT on this rom. However it is by default turned off, but running the PTT cab will enable it.

[kwickone]

shogunmark and all,

I had some very odd issues that eventually had me flash a different rom...which is a bummer, as I was very excited to try a little "death" action!

I experience MAJOR screen non-responsiveness, and some amazing slowdowns (possibly related to the screen issues). For the screen taps, I would tap, and tap, and tap, and if i was lucky the tap would finally register (both stylus and finger).

For slowdowns, I would have to wait up to 5 seconds for a program to launch.

I have a Tilt, was using the Radio that came with the ROM. I did do a Hard Reset after flashing. I did try resetting my screen alignment too.

I suppose it could have been a bad flash....I needed a working phone so I could not thoroughly test for the "bad flash" issue. I may retry V3...if and when that bad boy comes out.

Thanks again for your efforts.

[shogunmark]

I experience NO flicker or any screen issues at all FYi on a TytnII.

@shogun,

Indeed, att disabled settings helped for Quick GPS, though GPS sync is still very slow. And where Garmin XT Mob normally COM 4 uses, this has no become COM8 as it seems that the device could not find any other ports. No clue what this means as I CAN see the ports in Bluetooth Com manager screen indeed.

Already one advice to include in your Death V3 : Connection wizard. it looks odd having this Turbo ROM though requiring to d-load a cab for this :D

yes, i kinda worked backwards :) im a little weird like that... but since i was going to be testing all the time i wanted to ensure it worked for me right after a flash... so i will have to deal with the challenge of stripping out the ATT settings later... but no big deal, that should actually be easy.

I am starting to notice the slow GPS sync, i might give the radio from the official HTC rom that was just released a try.

[ceevee369]

@ Quickone ; You're senior so no need to tell that a hard reset is required upon the set-up screen I guess :o
Might give it one more try before walking away from Death :D

these are odd issues... and was something we discussed in the original beta thread. I would get intermittent taps and/or slow downs on my tilt, but not on my tytnII and both have the same chipset. we havent actually narrowed this issue down yet. this is problem i have seen with many different roms and has happened on both of my phones. Its a really odd problem to track down...

[wnirenberg]

Shogunmark..Just for a change of pace for you. Since flashing the rom yesterday there has actually been no problems thus far. No screen flicker or lag anywhere. Seems to be the fastest and most stable 6.1 rom so far. As for your family speed secret...that explains why my tilt keeps asking for more...LOL

I agree, so far the only issue i've had is with JiveTalk, and it is still in alpha testing, so could just be that software....well and of course skype but they just need to update that program anyway. The last build they released was like in November and it doesn't work right on any wm6.1 roms anyway...stupid sound coming out the back speaker all the time, haha.

Again, excellent speed, having problems with SPB PocketPlus though 4.02 - after a soft reset the "ok" button not longer works, anyone noticed that ?

I know you said it's the baserom, but I tried reflashing the current radio, and tried the new 1.65.16.25. No change in the screen flicker, I though it might have something to do with the radio because this poster is "stuck" with the radio from hell, and doesnt have the flicker.

ok ok, you won this round! lol
gonna flash now.. hopefully all goes well since it is based on the ATT settings

[nicholasendean]

yes, no video dialer, my test phone is a tilt which has not front cam, and my regular phone is a tytnII which has the front cam, but no need for it in the US since we dont do video calling...

"Scopophobia?" (re: we don't do video calling, am just kidding my rom building buddy)

Anyway.....I sersiouly have to say that I love your Rom. Oh,and I DO video calling and it works a treat once I installed Nadavi_NFDialer.cab. I have spent two days adding and testing various software on this rom...and believe it or not I have had NO problems. This rom of yours is THE BEST rom available on the xda forums.
There was one problem I dont care a toss about and that was having to unistall threaded sms text. Its your cab that you put together which I have used for ages. But if it IS installed on this rom, then the phones MMS will stop working and sometimes freeze so be warned anyone who wants threaded text. Could just be my upgrade but I have installed this rom three times in the past few hours to test it properly as always. Each time the same thing happens when the threaded txt cab is installed. Who needs it anyway.

Anyway. that was just my thanks done and dusted and I look forward very much to V2 of Death.

Am not a wealthy chap at the mo but rest assured I am a generous person in real life and certainly believe in giving to those who go out their way to help others. In particular, in regards to this rom which imho has allowed the lost but so much anticipated multimedia enjoyment and pleasure factor which "should" have been available by default in the first place from the original manufacturers rom.

Alright, well, I must admit, this is a fantastic ROM thus far.
Very very stable, really quick, responsive, etc.

The ONLY thing i've noticed that bothers me is the Comm Manager problem we've seen before (when closing an application, it pops up in the background).

but honestly, so far everything is excellent and by far the best i've tried.
This seems to be a keeper.

Thank you and good work!

[YYYYY]

Fastest rom I´ve seen so far, cant wait for the final release, respect! I will test the battery life and if its ok, I will stay with this rom!

[BrandywineITS]

Giving it a whirl now, will edit this post with any problems. Installed ROM and hard reset.

First impressions:
1) Love the Reaper and clean home screen graphics
2) No messaging icon in the start menu for selection (personally preffered location rather than button or scroll)
3) No Comm Manager in Programs folder (does exit in programs>Tools and )
4) Beam is on after install
5) Original radio (1.65.20.29) poor in NE-US
6) It is fast.....
7) Having a heck of a time getting AT&T to connect to internet. Would not connect immediately after installation at all. Settings appear right, but still no connect to internet, even after running "AT&T WAP MEdia Net and MMS Settings.com" and restarting. Re-hard resetting, we'll see how it goes. Connects now, but thoroghly convinced radio 1.65.20.29 blows, switching back to 1.65.14.06.

[mcmexican]

The radio from the official HTC build that was just released should work on this rom... and so does the radio from hell...


Thanks, I loaded 1.65.14.06 we will see how it goes the radio that came with the ROM had amazing battery life for me equivelant to the niki 1.58.16.27 which to me is the best battery life radio.

Thanks

Thank you for all your efforts - yours is the first ROM I have flashed on my Tilt.

I was getting the White Screen and chickened out each time going further. I finally got HARDSPL installed (really no issue) and wish that I had done it sooner. Your ROM is really fast.

It appears that everything that I use is working EXCEPT I cannot get a GPS lock for all the tea in China.

I did a hard reset after the update.
TomTom is set for an external GPS on COM4 at 4800 baud.
I have soft reset till I am blue ;)

PS - on my system GXMARK is 1588. In case you wondered.
So - my question is - on your ROM I have not seen any issues that anyone ELSE has mentioned with GPS - can you give me any ideas of trouble shooting this?

I lookged to the radio in my signature in this thread:

Try going to settings/quickgps and update. Change TomTom to 9600 and try visualgpsce to help with a cold start.

anyone know what version of HTC Album this ROM included and where I can get it?

thx.

Thank you for your quick reply -
I had already downloaded quick gps - sorry - I forgot to say that in my message.

BUT - I downloaded the data again just to be sure.

I tried 9600 baud, and loaded visualspacegpsce.
Nothing. No response what so ever.

Since 4800 does seem to recognize that there is at least a GPS device I set it back to 4800 and loaded visualspacegpsce again - and it IMMEDIATELY found satellites.

TomTom however did not.

I waited another 2 minutes and then TomTom found satelittes. This radio seems to be a little less tolerant of poor sky than the prior radio. BUT
IT IS WORKING! Thank you RAC2371. I sure appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks

Seems like there are a lot of positive reviews on this rom, but being a beta, is there going to be another release soon? Or is it worth using this release? I don't like to flash too often, as I take too long to get back up and running again.

to be honest, there will be a final.. but i want to get all the bugs worked out as best as possible. I cant say when the final will be since im actually hoping/waiting on a newer ATT rom without backlight issues, so it could be 2 days, or 2 weeks, etc... But its going to be beta until i feel like its good enough to put my final stamp of approval on it. I had mental issues with releasing this particular rom because of the backlight issues. I hate giving out something that i know has issues. maybe its a perfection complex.. i dont know.. but yes, a final will come, just no eta of when that will happen!

i think these issues are directly related to the radio. You can flash a different radio. and probably wouldnt be a bad idea to try!

how can i add touch flo to this rom..or that scrolling feature?? i noticed it this doesnt have it..

yeah, you can enable it using advanced config or kaisertweaks

[shogunmark]

Giving it a whirl now, will edit this post with any problems. Installed ROM and hard reset.

First impressions:
1) Love the Reaper and clean home screen graphics
2) No messaging icon in the start menu for selection
3) No Comm Manager in Programs folder
4) Beam is on after install
5) Original radio (1.65.20.29) poor in NE-US
6) It is fast.....
7) Having a heck of a time getting AT&T to connect, even after running "AT&T WAP MEdia Net and MMS Settings.com" and restarting

1. thanks
2. i didnt include the messaging shortcuts because there is a hardware button for it.
3. comm manager should be in tools
4. beam doesnt really count since its for BT obex transfer, only applies when BT is on
5. radio does kinda suck, i agree
6. its on crack
7. att settings are built in, no need for a cab, all internet and MMS

[shogunmark]

Shogun, will you consider releasing a liter version without the extra application additions when you do go live?

to be quite honest.. if you want a lite version, you can get the os that i stripped from the incognitho thread, i took out the att stuff (except the dialer) and posted it there. it doesnt have any tweaks though... so if you are requesting that i could probably take that and tweak it a little...

#7, dind't connect after hard reset, even though settings appeared to be correct.

[shogunmark]

I cant thank everyone enough for flashing this and giving me your input... like i have said this is beta and built around my wants/needs. But your input will help build a good final release for everyone!! Thanks again

And also thanks to those that have donated! its very much appreciated!

Yeah well I like your ROM... I actually stripped both yours and the HTC one by incognito to try and look at the differences. I dumped the whole os.nb and compared files and reg entries to see if I could discover your secrets!

It looked like there was one or two DLLs that might have been changed out, but comparing the registry hives and the XMLs I couldn't really see what you had done to get it so quick :). Unless it is a whole lot of little things that add up (like a bare interface, touch flo disabled, no sliding sounds, etc...), I don't know what is speeding it up.

I'm not a cooking wiz, so if it involves more than just swapping out a file or doing some reg tweaks, I probably can't figure it out at this point.

I would strip down the incognito, but I'm afraid it won't give me the performance that yours does.

So, if you would either
1) Do your tweaks to the incognito in a format that would allow others to strip and rebuild
2) Release a liter verion of yours
or
3) Tell us some of your secrets ;)

This would be much appreciated. I tried to extract and rebuild yours with kaiserkitchen, but got some error during rebuild (I think on a comm manager file).... so I wasn't able to strip out some of the stuff I didn't want.

Anyway, the above would be much appreciated if you were able. I really like having the latest "Official" as my base, even if it means it might be a tad bit slower...so, I just flashed off yours, and for now I am running the new HTC just to see how bad it is ;)

Thanks for your efforts!

p.s. Where can I find a standalone HTC Album that you use?

[whk]

i think these issues are directly related to the radio. You can flash a different radio. and probably wouldnt be a bad idea to try!

Thank you for responding - however - I do have it working now. As a matter of fact it seems to be working pretty well at this point - it was almost like there was a dam to be broken and once it broke it works fine.

It simply did not want to get the first connection.
Excellent ROM at this point. It works a treat - the only other thing I can find (very minor) is that my bluetooth headset HT820 does not have the same amount of volume that it used to have with the old ROM. Certainly not a fatal thing.
Thanks
Bill

[wnirenberg]

I agree, so far the only issue i've had is with JiveTalk, and it is still in alpha testing, so could just be that software....well and of course skype but they just need to update that program anyway. The last build they released was like in November and it doesn't work right on any wm6.1 roms anyway...stupid sound coming out the back speaker all the time, haha.


Well I spoke to soon, after installing Jivetalk I get the same crash. But as you said it's still in alpha phase so it's probably not the rom. Still a GREAT rom Shogunmark!

[wnirenberg]

No the Meth capitol of the world is Georgetown, California!

And I thought it was here in Atlanta;)

yeah it works with the first version, but shogunmark said he didn't change anything related to the only known cause of the problem, so i guess i'll just wait till they release a new version, which probably will happen soon anyway since i don't know much about fixing those kinda problems :P

[res036]

anyone know where i could get a registry editor for this rom since there isnt one on here.


thanx

The Wireless LAN menu option in comm manager is not working - the registry entry is pointing to WLanMgr.exe and should point to WLanSettings.exe.

I just installed arcsoftmms composer 5.0.31.7 and i cant send or receive pics

[mjg1]

Great ROM shogunmark - thanks.

fyi, very fast ROM however the included radio (1.65.20.29) didn't seem to get GPS locks. Have changed it to 1.65.14.06 and now works very well indeed (Australia, Telstra NextG 3G network). Also loaded the Network Wizard cab to change all network settings (away from AT&T).

Always fascinating the different pros/cons of ROM / radio combos. At the end of the day though, I must say all of the chefs are very talented and its fun to try out different options.

Will stick with DeathV2 / 1.65.14.06 for a while...

[redbandana]

HTC Audio Manager would be cool in the next release.

Speaking of media players when i go to start>programs>media There is an application there that named "player" and it doesn't work. Anyone else have this or is it something I added after?

I am also on Telstra NextG 3G Australia and am getting a gps lock with this radio (1.65.20.29) The first time after loading took forever but subsequently is getting lock in under 30 secs.

your bad :-0 it is supposed to be the TCPMP plaer and it works well for us all ne (though i would prefer to see TCPMP linked as applic with Youtubeplayer as buffer etc can be managed )
What soft does the Youtubeplayer uses anyway?

Audio manager cab installed and is now linked with shortcut through "today-item" set up.

This for me starts to smell as an almost perfect ROM

:( (Mortscript is still bugging me, but I know think Shogun made an inside joke > "Mort" is French for "Death" (kidding)

PS. I flashed radio 1.65.14.06 and guess what... 1 bar plus reception on same static location. Need to test GPS outside later on

[Knumb]

nice shogunmark! Gonna test it out later today!

[nicholasendean]

I just installed arcsoftmms composer 5.0.31.7 and i cant send or receive pics


First off hello there my fellow Death 2 rom user. :D

I too installed various mms software which caused all kinds of screwups. I live in the UK and use the orange network. FIrst off I have installed the rom three times but only to test it.
What I noticed is that on the installed software live "Shogunmark" HAS already placed mms software so I don't think you need to have installed another over the top. I did the same as I couldn't get it to work. Problem is simply to use the Dutty cab "network configuration" which I dont have handy but you can find via search. And it should allow the already in place mms software to allow you to send and recieve no probs. i now have no problems but did at first. I unistalled the mms I put on, used the configuration network cab, told it that Orange UK was my chosen network, reset the device and BINGO.

Hope this has been of some help as it is early and I am struggling to see the display as am writing this on my "tilt!"
Oh, and I found the file for configuration of network settings hope it helps.

Some ideas for the final version of the Death ROM:
- HTC Audio Player TAB in HTC Home
- Connection Wizard
- new dialer
- link to Office Mobile in the program folder
- remove customer feedback...

[janys]

It's really a nice, superfast and really really well-equipped ROM...

BUT

After a few hours of using it, I lose all sound. Media Player doesn't work, I can't hear the phone ringing, I can't hear the calling side and noone can hear me. The whole phone is simply mute/deaf.

Reflashing helps, but soon I lose the sound again.

Which Radio are you using?

[janys]

Which Radio are you using?

1.64.08.21

I'll try 1.68.20.29 - as I see it in your signature :)

UPDATE: I re-flashed Death V2, sound works again and I see that 1.68.20.29 is the default radio for this ROM. I hope it'll last. Somehow, I feel the problem was caused by installing an application. Not sure which one, though.

I have the same thing - there is a "clicker" graphic on mine (like what they use in the movies to "synchronize" the sounds with the video) on it and it also says "CORE" - but you are right - it does not seems to play anything.

After reading through mostly good stuff about this rom I decided to install it in my Tilt. Despite the fact that the rom is super fantastic BUT the flashing has caused my 6GB SD card to show garbled files. I SEEM TO HAVE LOST ALL MY DATA ON THE CARD:(:(. When I check the memory used, it shows me that the sd card has more than 3 gb used, so I am hoping that the data is still there:confused:. Please please pretty please someone HELP me recover those files.

In case anyone wants them, I can recomend the attached files that I CANNOT live without and which DO work on 6.1 perfectly, especially well on DeathV2!!!

:D

1. Nadavi_WM6.1_BLACK_VF_Dialer_for_Kaiser here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365629)
2. HTC_Action_Screen
3. effcomm

I have installed the above as I use them all the time.I use video calling sometimes and it works fine. The action screen I rename "NEW" and put a shortcut on my left side soft key for instant access to a new "whatever" whenever I need it. THe effcom is the best cab I have used. Allows instant on screen access to bluetooth WiFI and Phone on/off without any fuss.

Hope someone finds it useful.

(DeathV2 is a keeper for sure)

Did you remove the card from the Kaiser/Tilt before you upgraded?
I ask as its a 100% prevequisite when rom upgrading. Although if the card is the source of the rom then its different. I'm sure other users have more info on this as I am not a brainbox on the subject. I just remember reading several times that cards should be removed before rom updating. You may be able to repair or re aquire some of the files via a card reader and your PC and perhaps doing a scandisk etc.

Good luck anyway and sorry I cant help more.

Yeah i'm not too sure why that did happen. I always remove my card before flashing just in case.

Are you seeing all that junk from the phone or from where u can access the card from the computer?

Unfortunately :confused: I did not remove the card. As a matter of fact I have flashed close to a million times (slight exageration) with my card in the tilt but had never faced this problem. Strange thing happened while I was setting up the device using Schaps Advance Config, I usually set all the default folders for pics, music etc to be in Storage card. After setting and soft resetting some of the files came back to life but not all and I still see garbled forlders and files. I have also tried the card on my PC and Laptop but with same results. But anyways thanks guys for your help. I hope someone will figure this out :confused:

[ceevee369]

I did some further testing on the GPS efficiency.

Remark1:
GPS seems to be slow/ less efficienent for all new HTC Roms and last cooked Roms from other great Chefs.

Remark 2:
We do not talk about a "first fixation" here as this can take for some devices even more than 5 minutes.
TIP; dowload this week SATELITE position data first via Quick GPS and run GPStest cab before running GPS soft.

So, what's the verdict:
Stock Rom on Death 2: best cold start 185 sec. Warm : 45 sec :(
1.65.14.06 : Cold start approx 360 sec, but warm.. 15 sec :)
1.68.20.29 ; Cold start : 120 sec - warm 25
A well perceived Niki I tried (1.58.16.27) gave no juice (might be not compatible)

What else I saw: more scaring than the last 48 hours playing with this ROM; screen freezes... Especially SPB Mob Shell2.1 seems to be the trouble maker.

I also have never removed my SD card to flash a new ROM, and never had an issue. I also flashed Death V2 with my SD card in my Tilt with no issues....that being said, maybe I will start removing it based on this issue :rolleyes:

Bummer dude.

not sure what youtube player uses, its something that was developed here, i gave link to it somewhere earlier in this thread.
The mortscript error is coming from Personalizer, you should be able to go to add remove programs and uninstall it.. i am probably going to exclude this from future releases.
Some ideas for the final version of the Death ROM:
- HTC Audio Player TAB in HTC Home
- Connection Wizard

I have considered the first item, unsure at this point...
Connection wizard will come on final release
new dialer is still up for discussion, i have been trying different ones, etc
Office mobile is in the start menu, i could move it programs folder if everyone would prefer that?
customer feedback is removed, the icon is there though.
1.64.08.21

I have tried those 2 radio's, plus the radio from hell and experienced no audio loss, i think there has been 1 other person report this. Its more than likely caused by an installed application as you noted.

Its always good to remove your card before flashing. However, this can also occur if you had your card encrypted from the previous rom. either way it sounds like your hosed... hope you can retrieve your data

awesome thanks. great rom shogun. its the best one I have flashed on my tilt by far. and I have flashed A LOT of different roms. I usually flash a different one a day just to try them all out. But looks like I found one im gonna stick with. donation coming soon as I get paid.

[vtskillz]

I don't believe this radio is compatible with this rom. Why didn't you use the radio included with the rom?

I think only the 1.65 radio's work. I'm using 1.65.16.25 in the southeast, us.

[vtskillz]

thanks i'll give the 1.65 radios a try

[ceevee369]

Thanks Shogun.

The error occurs when trying to add/remove program. Seems some ghost files and Reg’s remain, resulting in the Mortscript error @ start-up.

Solution:
Re-install personalizerV2 http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/get-personalizer-v2-0.html
"wasted space here" occurs --> change with any text you want.

PS1:Tthe longer this ROM embeds itself, the more stable it becomes.
PS2: Hooray, with all soft , tweaks and patches installed, GXmark still has the 1588 score, similar as flashed out of kitchen.
PS3: Confirm that Radio 1.65.14.06 is best for battery consumption , #of bars and GPS.
GPS warm start goes to less than 15 seconds now.

[Xenozx]

What would cause me to score a 1588 on GXmark 1.1f on a fresh install of this rom? thats really really low isnt it?

[ceevee369]

What would cause me to score a 1588 on GXmark 1.1f on a fresh install of this rom? thats really really low isnt it?

It is not , me think. Look at the GXmark thread page. 1400-1500 is the benchmark now for current releases.
Some reported +1700 which is doubtfull - except if the latest dll from HTC stock roms might be used.

But heck, what those these values mean? if we're happy with a redraw of a 6 vs 2 ns (?visible :D) than a score does not mean much.
My 30fps videos work well now. And even in WMP which they never did before.

Thanks for the info. I ran the version that was included in this rom. I just assumed it was the same one he used for the initial scores. I guess not. so 1588 is fine :) just wanted to make sure my phone wasnt jacked. My camera moves like shit lol.

Hi, I had exactly the same problem. In my case it might have been caused by the radio, but also by installing a "bad" application. The only thing I did was a quick reflash. My radio is 20.29 and so far so good.

[will_raymo2000]

I know people have talked about the blank white screen flashing during standby.. but is there really no fix for it? not a problem but a bit annoying at times!

also the comm manager bug is annoying at times as well..

other than that I absolutely love this ROM, by far the best I have used yet!

[ceevee369]

I had 1.2.2 working well on DeathV2. :)

Removed it and bought from Mobihand new 1.2.4 with Serial :mad:

issue 1: can not input the new genuine serial message pops up' Unable to validate Serial Number abd/or user ID
issue 2: playing either MP3 or video, screen remains black.

Anyone has similar issue - solution as I damn wanna stick to this V2 without loosing Coreplayer :p

Had an issue similar to an earlier post about missed calls. However, from reading Bengalih's thread on MSVC, seems that by settting MSVC to announce calls through BT headset, the phone does not ring. Decided to change Ringer to Ring and Vibrate with the same MSVC setting. Now, the phone vibrates and announces the call through the headset, however it does not stop vibrating when I answer the call, and even after I hang up. The only way to stop the vibration is by a soft reset. I am not sure if this is a ROM or MSVC issue but did not find anything similar searching the forum. (I have changed my MSVC settings to use BT if available without Ring and Vibrate for the time being :))

Really liking this ROM though. It reminds me of the Qmobile for WM6.

[ceevee369]

I used Pocket mechanic Pro to do some (risky) reg cleansing.
had to remove 236 invalid / empty reg's which does not mean anything, thouhg... (do a back=up before by all meanings)
no more lag AT ALL , superfast jumping from SPB 2.1 (modded with Diamond settings ) to any application.

GXMark stays at 1588, so no gain-loss there.

I haven't seen the non-stop vibrate issues with MSVC before, so I don't think it is the cause. Did you check out my MSVCToggle script in the MSVC thread? It will let you quickly swap between announcing through BT or handset. This way you don't need to use vibrate to know a call is coming in.

I started to forego the "Excellent Rom ...but" comment but I wanted everyone to be clear that I absolutely love this ROM. No onto the question. I downloaded the cab posted on page 1 post # 2 I believe. anyway has anyone gotten the enable PTT cab to install. I keep getting an unable to install error message.

Did you delete the app data before you installed 1.2.4? If not u need to. It stores your old serial in there. Delete the entire coreplayer app data and try to reinstall.

I had to switch from qtv to gdi to get rid of black screen. qtv seems to malfunction on all the newer 6.1's

I wonder what the invalid reg entries are based, because even a stock rom gets that high of invalid entries, but its worth me dumping and taking a look at sometime

This ROM Has serious issues with my Jabra BT320 headset. Had it randomly move a call from my phone to my headset ..while I was on a call...

Also refused to resync with my headset, had to go into bluetooth manager and delete it then readd it. No amount of powercycles/resets of either device would make it redetect it even though it was still registered.

ROM seems pretty fast, Power manager screen locks the display ( Can't close out of it ) and I think a couple other random apps had issues. All in all pretty speedy.

Good work man :)

[kagekouen]

The Meth works. True story. Great stuff shogunmark.

[nicholasendean]

Hi all.

Lovely ROM. I have been swpping from Death V2 to Leos rom and have come back to Death V2 as it is imo for me at least more stable and to my own liking.
To keep my little problem brief as possible.

Problem: I cannot get cardexport OR wm5torage to work on either of these roms mentioned. hell I have even tried a new stock rom of www.6.1 but no matter what I do, what I try, and what I have read and trust me I enjoy reading to learn and am NOT lazy or by far a "noob" so have been all over the web these past 3 days both searching the xda via various indirect and non indirect searches...heck I have even read up on "other" htc model phone threads and found I am far from alone in this non working mass storage issue. BUt alas nothing I have tried has made hell all difference.

FYI: the nearest I have got is the COMPUTER SYSTEM and a laptop bot of which have the same spec (XP-sp2 base) show the Kaiser as a recognized mass media device and I can even go into the image icon of the drive in explorer. BUT....EITHER nothing apprears inside the explorer window, or the Kaiser crashes.

PLEASE can someone shed some light on the actual reason why this is happening even it is unfixable I would dearly like to know that the 3 days I spent were not in vain. As at least knowledge learnt is NEVER wasted...right!"!!!! :cool:

Regards
Nicholas

hmmmm. . . If your headset is on and you initiate a call on your phone - it WILL move it to the headset if you come in range of the headset. I have had some issues using my car BT and Motorola HT820 and HS820 all three and switching between them. Sometimes it will recognize that I have BT available but still play Voice Command info over the phone's speaker.

But it does this on the original AT&T Rom as well.

Thanks Arup.

Reg cleansing solved the issue of the Serial misfix.
and GDI enabled instead of Qtv did the trick, but Damn, it plays orefully bad :(

CoreCodec seems not to have a solution for Qtv on 6.1 Roms (or could it be that only Cooked Rom's where other dll's are used are infected (Shogun?)

@ Shogun,

As for the Reg cleansing, approx 20% was related to add-on soft's which is around 180-200 reg's from the Rom itself.

Hi,

One of the biggest problems i have is the 80%-90% of cpu when using the touchscreen, does this ROM solve that?

Are there any video's available that shows a tytnII with the original ROM and one with this ROM to compare it before trying this out?

This is a link with something usefull i gues, however it's for the e-ten X600 with another processor, but thesame problem of the 80-90% cpu usage:

Man this looks good !

[ceevee369]

Well, I know the answer :p

All PDA phones I ever had resulted in a CPU load of 80 to 98% when launching a program.
80% average is still the same on this ROM.
if this affects your rendering and drawing, it is bad , but this does not happen with this ROM

HOWEVER:
Touching the screen only takes 12-15%
2-4% limited CPU power is used by internal proces only.
Average CPU load is around 20-30% when clicking on settings, volume, active sync, start etc.

Don't know if this helps, but when you read through this thread, you'll see that this is a fine piece of Rom Sir :)

ceevee369,

When launching programs i would call it normal, i'm just talking about when touching the screen, if i touch the screen and keep it touching without releasing the pen or finger, then it takes 80% to 90% of cpu load with the original ROM.

Did you also have this result when you had the original ROM?

So this ROM takes just 12 to 15% of CPU? this would make a huge difference for me no doubt, would love to get this rom if it is out of beta.

Edit: it even seems better then the fix on the ETEN Glofiish X600/650, since it takes 15% of cpu, and not between 12 and 15% ;)... if it's true that is...

Greetings,

Steve

I've tried to use the cab on my Kasier as it is. Installation runned fine.

Now i need to reflash my phone (was stuck on the HTC logo) after reboot.:D

[cp1md2b]

i had the wrong version posted.. i uploaded the correct version...

I downloaded and installed after a fresh hard reset. However, was not able to connect.:confused: It did bring up the screen saying PTT charges will apply. I answered yes to accept charges. Registered name screen appeared however that was the end. Each subsequent push of the PTT button on reapeated the aforementioned steps. Never resolving in being able to launch the ptt application.

Not a show stoper just providing the feedback. I still believe this ROM is more feature rich, and I'm willing to see it through to final production.


Keep up the good work Shogun :)

[pkley]

To everyone who has the "crash.txt" issue, were you able to get it to launch EVER?
I know I was able to get it to launch, because one of the first things I always do is change my file associations - add m4b and a few others. I don't thnk that I tried to play anything until later...and the first m4b file I tried to open did open and show the time but wouldn't actually play. After that - nothing.

Where can I delete the TCPMP settings? Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but don't have time for a HR.


Oh, and would you mind adding the button 6 HOLD option? I use that to toggle my BT audio reroute!

[ceevee369]

@ Steve

I confirm through Pocketmechanic Pro measurment:
12-15% CPU usage when touching screen on average. No lag what so ever forcing CPU at higher speed to redraw.

[trsteve]

ceevee369,

Can you check this for me more?

I have also pocket mechanic pro, great application ;)

But there is some difference at what you do: if i don't do anything while pocket mechanic pro is open there is about 3 - 6% cpu load

If i click on the screen and hold it on the screen i get between 45 and 49% cpu.

Now it comes... if i click the scroll wheel and go up and down without stopping i get 100%.

What results do you get exactly in these 3 situations?

[Baserunner]

Great work, great ROM! I'm having Q-mobile flashbacks wich is good!

However, the only problem i experience, is the keyboard layout.

On my kaiser, i have the following:

@ on Q
! on W
: on C

however, this new rom has an other button map like this
! on Q
@ on W
: on D

(ofcourse, the whole layout is different). Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance :)

Search for tilt keyboard fix, you'll find what you're lookin for. Install the cab then soft reset.

[fone_fanatic]

shogun, how close would u say the release of this rom is?

I want to flash it but i know right when i finish installing all my apps and tweaking it to how i like it then it'll be released and i'll have to do it all again.

[mounsif]

No video dialer ??

[scotchua]

No video dialer ??

He said earlier that he doesn't use it, and since the rom is kind of designed around his preferences it's not in here. You can just get a different dialer though.

[pen25]

just did a test on mine fresh install 1617 gxmark.. testing this beta now will let yuo all know if i come up with anything

[SouthernLuke]

No video dialer ??

The rom was developed around the AT&T Tilt which lacks the front camera as opposed to the Tytn II. Therefore the lack of integration.

What results do you get exactly in these 3 situations?

1: same - 3-5% on average
2.click on screen and hold : 35% on average
3. scroll wheel up and down , jumps indeed to 100% but is mostly showing 30-40%

Again, I suppose that this is same for all ROMS on this kind of device with 72xx chip @ 400mhz.

As reported to Shogun, the radio i use 1.65.14.06 is a real battery drainer. lost 20% in 2 hours being mostly on sleep mode.
Will try the one Shogun recomended and get back with a comparebale battery test simulation (I know that there is a cab out there to simulate usage )

[DaveShaw]

Search for tilt keyboard fix, you'll find what you're lookin for. Install the cab then soft reset.

Won't work, you need to do the reverse of the Tilt Keyboard Fix.

This can be done by deleting the following Registry Entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"CWSLayout"=dword:00000001

Shogon, did you you disable touch flow? I have 1018 contacts in my phone and being able to scroll by flicking finger was nice. Funny thing is it vs not using your ROM... uhm stop judge DeathV2 wins :)

But if there is a way to enable it that would be icing on the cake.

No complaints.

Nobody seems to have it noticed, but I am missing the calender shortcut in the menu and in program's

Anything I've tried to get this shortcut back in place ended in failures.. copying from windows dir, editing in the registry \shell\...

Does anybody how to fix this?

But for the rest. I LOVE THE ROM. Hope to see the final / next asap.

Did you unhide the file? If you copy a link from windows into the start menu folder make sure you check the properties and unhide the file. Should show up then. I use resco which makes it super easy but it can be done fairly easily with total comander as well.

Actually its not missing, the calendar shortcut was moved to the office mobile folder since there was softkey for it. One thing that has always bothered me with M$ was all the redundancy, having short cuts when there were hard/softkeys, etc...

did you softreset after installing?

and like i said, it was untested, since i dont have it then i couldnt fully test it, i may look in to it further later.

[whk]

This is a thank you to Shogunmark. I live in the southern USA and this ROM is the best yet.

I have had no issues with it period. It simply works.
1. great radio
2. battery life - 15 hours after unplugging it this morning I have 90 percent battery left - (about 12 phone calls of 3-5 minutes each) and checking emails every 30 minutes) - not heavy usage but on the old AT&T ROM it would have been at 50-60 percent.
3. excellent speed
4. love the default settings and programs.

honestly, not sure when a final will come.. im actually hoping for incgonitho to come through on a different ATT release so i have a better base with no screen flicker or backlight issues. or unless i get the netcf and sqm problem figured out... so i would say your safe for a few days :D

It is amazing that you have 90% battery life after a 15 hour day using the new 1.65 radios, or even any radio for that matter.

I unplugged it from the charger before 6 AM this morning and it is now 5:30 pm. My battery is at 87 percent.

I am HOME!!!!
Bill

[rkatzla]

Having used a number of 6.1 cooked ROMs, this has definitely produced the best results for me across the board. Call quality and reception in Southern California on ATT is significantly improved (compared with same radio on different ROM). Battery is significantly improved (compared with same radio on different ROM). Exchange server works perfectly.

I have had 2 small problems. 1) Attempting to play a WAV fie via TCMP generates "Audio codec IMA ADPCM not supported by the player" which has not occurred in other ROMs. 2) A couple of times the device has spontaneously restarted, one time freezing up on opening splash with backlight remaining on for about an hour until I realized what was happening.

Overall, this is an excellent ROM which has vastly exceeded my previous ROM experiences. This is, however, the curse. This experience has made me NOT want to try other ROMs.


Thank you .

I second , third and zillion that for sure. (almostgot seduced by another though I stick with this one as it is damn stable )
Added value is the "less intrest" from the Forum on this one , which does not force me to read 145.689 times "wow" -or "downloading now" :-)

1 Warning:
I wanted to see how the Windows weather cab and Home weather cab (refered to in L26 V4 thread) affect the loss of weather info on the main screen,
Well, they thisresulted in V2 not booting fully anymore and needed to do a hardreset.
(SPB Sprite back-up works well on this ROM)

Shogun, awaiting a V3 is my aim :D

Yeah, Death V2 is perhaps the best kept secret of the roms here.

Looking forward to next release as well.
