New in 1.0a

-removed audiobooster
-fixed the not needed icon for task manager
-changed microsoft cpr files so that you can use htc panels on other homescreens.

Bug in v1.0a
-after setting up my gprs account info the phone sometimes establish a gprs connection at boot I don't know why. Tell me if it does the same to you. I don't know if it transfers anything either so take care if you don't have a data plan !
- htcweather will show in other homescreens but refuses to update though unless you use HTC Homescreen. Dont know why. Anyone can think of a solution ? I've tried adding htcweather panel info directly in the homescreen as in HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml but it still won't update

I just wish scrolling was as fast as with 19700 SYS. I'm sure there was a user made made modification in this one..

[Pikranus]

Rose_BootLauncher (this preloads pocketoutlook)
Wow that sounds cool! How much does it take to boot up? Downloading...

[akumalol]

thx again man!!!

[TheBo]

I just wish scrolling was as fast as with 19700 SYS. I'm sure there was a user made made modification in this one..

I tought that 19700 was a good SYS but I also tought that the speed was emphatized ALOT for the scrolling trick...finally someone who confirms that!!

BTW regarding the speed i didn't catch your comparison...You think that someone as did in this 20279 the same trick that was in the 19700 or what?

BTW2 I'm downloading ur new work with my raging super power ISDN:o:o:( tonight I'll post my impression...:D

P.S: I think you finally rejected the PLUMSIP idea for substituting XT9...And including only 1 language in Xt9 whas a choiche made 4 the speed? SO anyone has just english as base and from that can install only HIS language improving the overall speed?

Sorry for my english I'm in a rush!!

[tipu2185]

Thanks you for your rom. I am downloading it now. @thebo
yes over the time i have realized that 19700 was not fast it was only scrolling speed otherwise i think it was slower.

[frauhottelmann]

So what difference does the boot launcher make - speed-wise? I think I will make a new clean ROM based on the new SYS and XIP, because there are so many Rose ROMs now that one more wouldn't make a difference. Although I remade all the OEM-packages to work without the new cold boot stuff they included. Well, I have a lot of time next week, so there will be some ROM...

[hashtowent]

is so. able to reupload it to a faster filehoster?

i think dr.gonzo is accepting this(arent you?)

if he does not accept im sry for sayng he surely is!

so theres no audiomanager no .net framework and things liek that in this rom?

or do you have this things included all the time/arent making roms w/o this?

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

yes yes upload it where you want. I just upload it on this server cause it is the one from my ISP and so upload speed is much faster.

.NET 3.5 is in audiomanager too (I love the fact that it displays album art!).
Yes overall 19700 is slower but I really liked that scrolling speed :)

I guess with bootlauncher the rom takes longer to boot but I like the fact that I don't then have to wait for pocket outlook to load when I want to send/read messages. BTW Frauhotelmann do you want my OEM ROM and SYS for your clean version ? That could save you a lot of time!

I only included one language in xT9 not for speed but for anyone to be able to add what they want.

I could make a PlumSip version to see if it's faster but since there is already Hikey rom is there really a point ? I haven't tested his rom so I don't know what's in his. Tell me if you're interested.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

BTW did you see with this new SYS we don't need to change bronzeres.dll to make custom sliding panels anymore. You can specify which .cpr to use directly in the home xml file ! I'm trying to adapt my Mona Lisa homescreen to this new format to see if it works good

[TheBo]

mmm for me..i would interested BUT if it takes you a lot of time...in that case no! Because i'm trying plumSIP but even with the eng CAB some things are still chinese..which is not...mmmmuch understable like could be french, spanish or similar.
Well i don't even know if english PlumSIP is quite useful in our languages French and Italian which have accented words...
Does localized PLUMSIP of our languages exist?? :confused

[TheBo]

SORRY!Double post. Damn slow connection!

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

according to hickey there is only english, so no it wont be very useful for us. Could you direct me to the translation cab though ?

[Meerkats]

Hi Dr Gonzo,

Firstly, thank you for providing this new ROM. I've flashed it onto my device, so far it looks and responds very well.
I have found one small problem with the bluetooth activation. I am unable to switch the bluetooth on either from the Comm Manager or from a long press of the lower volume button. Does anyone else have this issue?

Thank you.

Stuart

[akumalol]

this was a problem on my rom too.?
dr gonzo have u included rose oem packages of bluetooth??
maybe this is the cause [ havent still tested]

[fireburned]

Thank you again dr. gonzo for your work !

;)

[hashtowent]

Thank you again dr. gonzo for your work !

;)

is your bt working?

[TheBo]

@Doc:
Hope we are not misunderstanding...translation CAB was posted by Hikey in his first (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381094) post of his Rose ROM and it is meant only for english "translation" of PLUMSIP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=122811&d=1224344099)

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Hehe you're right, it's not working :D
Off finding what went wrong!

[fireburned]

is your bt working?

Yes, bt works (i use my clean rom under XIP 20279 Build 20279).

[akumalol]

Yes, bt works (i use my clean rom under XIP 20279 Build 20279).

omg lol.......

[frauhottelmann]

Thanks Dr. G for the offer, but I'll do my own, since I am nearly finished. And it is better for a newer kitchen release. Because then I can distribute the Rose packages separately and they should work for everybody, with or without the new cold boot stuff. I will offer both versions once I am done, one complete and one clean...

[hashtowent]

Yes, bt works (i use my clean rom under XIP 20279 Build 20279).

could you please give it to us?

it its based on system of s740 right?

where do we find it?

[TheBo]

Well bt was working good also in Hikey ROM...with VOL_UP schortcut also..I managed using 2 hours ago a bluetooth satellite receiver...so. no problem on that side.

[frauhottelmann]

I noticed the cpr change too. I wanted to swap the standard cpr files and there were a couple of them. So there is one for each theme now. That can be a problem too. I tried the HTC Rose Sliding Panels and wanted to add a launcher panel and the icons were screwed up from time to time...

[fireburned]

could you please give it to us?

it its based on system of s740 right?

where do we find it?

I'm working on this new clean rom based on build20279/xip20279, i have some bugs, if all is ok, i'll post it.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Frauhottelmann : I corrected the bugged icons for a custom launcher in this rom. HTC made mistakes in their cpr file for the operator panel or whatever it's called.

[frauhottelmann]

Mh, I just noticed that the new MMS software causes problems. Lol Have you tried it?

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

how ? it worked good last time I tried it ? I'e been able to send one

[hashtowent]

Well bt was working good also in Hikey ROM...with VOL_UP schortcut also..I managed using 2 hours ago a bluetooth satellite receiver...so. no problem on that side.

with this one or hikeys? or both? for me bt iosnt working onthis and akumalol rom!

[frauhottelmann]

Have you included it in this ROM? It caused the ROM to not work at all. But I think I made an error during porting it from new cold-boot to old style...

EDIT: I there a shortcut to the boot launcher in start up?

[tipu2185]

Bluetooth is not working and also there is a task manager shortcut in start menu but file is missing.:o

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

I can't find the problem, it's going to take time. this is getting on my nerves.
When I started the rom again from scratch I know it worked... I should have tested it at every new flash :mad:

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

there is a shortcut to bootlauncher in HKLM\init if I remember.

Yes I forgot that icon there thanks for noting it.

[Hikey]

LOL

the PlumSIP5en.cab is just a translation of plumsip

I attached the full pack of New-e_PlumSIP5_C730_V5.0.0009.CAB for your reference.

[koostdijck]

ROM looks good, but also in this 'Rose' ROM Windows Live is not working, I cannot get signed in (GPRS is working).

[TheBo]

with Hikey's S740 ROM

@Hikey Thanks for your sharing.

[hashtowent]

Yes I forgot that icon there thanks for noting it.

is this why bt isnt working?

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

unfortunately not. :(
Thanks Hickey for the link!

[hashtowent]

may hikey could say ow hed gotten bt to work ;) may he has some ideas

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

I think the question is rather how I've made not to work anymore :D

[hashtowent]

your not the only one "making it not work" so i think it is a problem with the s/w nit by you but let me know if you gott it 2 work would be greatest rom ever i think ;)

[tipu2185]

As one of other mate here mentioned that live messenger is not working it is also not working for me. I am connected through my wireless lan to internet.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Yep not working for me too. I never tested it because I assumed it would work without any problem since I never touched anything related to it but no !!!!! great...

I'm currently flashing a rom with the original htc OEM to see if those problems come from my SYS folder or from the XIP.

[frauhottelmann]

On my previous ROMs with the Rose SYS and the Rose OEM bluetooth stuff it worked pretty good.
I think I might have found my mistake...

[TheBo]

Can confirm

BT and Live not working 4 me too

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Ok bluetooth work with original OEM so it must be my mistake. Windows live still wont login though. Must be a problem with rose version ? I should try with packages from older SYS ...

[ceturan]

Bluetooth is not working and audiobooster is not on select

[tipu2185]

I was using your 19700 rom and it was working fine in that.

[TheBo]

Bluetooth is not working and audiobooster is not on select

CAn confirm: ON is not "checkable"

So main issues so far are

live (Msn and Windows Live) NOT WORKING
Bluetooth NOT WORKING
IA Task manager shortcut INVALID


And IMHO
SpB backup doesn't work
Bold fonts are not good
Bold Fonts in JBED are very scarying and unreadable:D:D
Could you include a File Explorer (other than WM provided) like u used to.

Other minor things I don't remember

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

What do you mean by audiomanager "is not on select "?
I wish I could test this one but I can't seem to find my headset. Must be in my car but it's parked far away :mad:

[TheBo]

He meant what I tryed to explain the previous post...
You can play with Audiobooster once headset is plugged in BUT in the MAIN screen there is a "ON" checkbox...that even when selected is not "checkable" so the settings won't apply...
at least I did not noticed any changement in my phone call

If you think it will help I'll provide you a screenshot

[frauhottelmann]

He means the Audio Booster. It just doesn't work. You can open it, but the check box "on" can't be selected, so it doesn't turn on.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

TheBo : you mean bold fonts in standard sliding panel homescreen ?

[akumalol]

i think here is the same problem on audiobooster
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343224

[tipu2185]

TheBo : you mean bold fonts in standard sliding panel homescreen ?
I think Bold font in sliding panels look good but in menus and etc it looks bad. Dr. Gonzo this roms UI is awesome other wise, I hope you find solutions to errors.

[TheBo]

Yes Bold in menus is not that useful
but I also meant BOLD in JBED...use gmail app if you have an account and you would see unreaded mail in scaryng bold font...lol...btw I think it's not a cooking related issue so...this would be a plus...

I prefer small fonts as in msessages and mail the more I could read in a single screen the faster I read...I REPEAT IMHO!!!

For audioboost this is the shot
http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1397/screen001kg9.jpg
The "ON" check box doesn't work. It really is SELCTABLE but NOT ACTIVABLE.

[tipu2185]

The "ON" check box doesn't work.
I agree with you regarding fonts. Fireburned includes more readable font in hims roms. It is not bold. But I still think that if sliding panels can be customized then they should have bold headings speacially Clock should be bold.

[parthabhatta]

Its also not working in Hikey 20279 ROM.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

ok now I understad.

I've fixed bluetooth and windows live messenger.
I agree with the fonts in menu now that you mention it.
I'll change that.

[tipu2185]

Since most probably there is no solution for Audio booster as mentioned in a thread that was mentioned before, so might have fixed rom sooner. Awesome.:D

Dr. Gonzo thank you once again for your work.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

haha but I have a new problem ! htc album now doesn't find any photos ! :D

[frauhottelmann]

lol, that is strange. It always worked here...

[hashtowent]

when are you going to load it up?

[TheBo]

lol, that is strange. It always worked here...

It also worked on his Gonzo rose 1.0 earlier this afternoon...that was the first time I tryed it.

Oh I forgot to mention a good thing...I have a MVO (a Mobile Virtual Operator) and with Hikey's ROM the operator showed on top clock's bar was the real operator not the Virtual One...but with this GOnzo's Rose v1.0 the operator is the right one...the virtual one.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Another problem, my phone starts a gprs connection at each boot. Haen't found why yet. Man those things are annoying. You change just a little thing and you get lots of unexpected results. talk about butterfly effect!

If I don't find what's doing this I'll post the rom anyway and let you guys hopefully find a solution!

this is great you do s.th and the others outhere go onwith the rom!

[TheBo]

mmm strange...real strange...this things keep me thinking that IT is something more empiric (usual question: does this word exist in english?) than logical...

Stupid questions: have you check reg keys like that run at boot? (Run, RUnOnce, init) etc??

Maybe Network configuration that loops in background at every boot??

P.S: "Visitor Messages" ...new forum feature??!? WTF never seen it, lost a message...ahahah

[ceturan]

haha but I have a new problem ! htc album now doesn't find any photos ! :D

HTC Album work on my phone.

[frauhottelmann]

No, the visitor messages exist for a while now.
Yeah I am going crazy with those little changes too. The cold boot doesn't finish now. It goes to 100% and reboots, but it's not really done, since all shortcuts are missing and other things don't work. I know it's one of 4 OEM packages, but I don't know what the mistake is....

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

I can't remember how to change the fonts to make them smaller. It never does what I want. Anyone having detailed instructions ?

to be more precise I know how to change the fonts in the popup menus but that's all. I can't figure out the rest.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

camera doesn't save pictures in my documents/pictures anymore.. grrr. that's why htc album doesn't find any images

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

I'm flashing my last test. If the camera still doesn't save the pictures where they belong I'll post the rom here and ask for your help.:o
Next I'll try to get the fonts right, thanks for the post BTW zeeshee.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Finally found the problem with the camera. The MUI was set incorrectly.. 809 instead of 409 and since the directories where pictures are stored are set according to the current language.
Ok so I will try to set the fonts thinner before posting the rom and we should have something good !

[matrix77]

Will you put missed call\sms reminder in this rom?
I can't find the way how to install it later and it is very useful thing :(
Thanks for this great rom!

[jpeel]

Dr. G, thanks for working on this ROM. I can't test it yet as BT is essential for me, but I'm really looking forward to this one. Can I also request that theMyPhotos shortcut pointing to the mypictures on the SD card? I have looked for how to do this on other ROMS but never was able to find the file you used from koxo.cn.

[frauhottelmann]

Hey Dr. G foe upload you should try something like http://www.qooy.com/
It automatically hosts the file on several other sites, making it easier for people to choose from where to download...

[combory]

Hi Doc,

I'm using your rom 1 day ago.

Some problems.
Modaco NODATA doesn't work.:(
There's an icon name Task Manager in "all program" that i've an error (Can't find 'IE_Task_Manager') but with the power button i can use the task manager (the old i think)

I'm installing the chome configurator, but there's no way to use the weather sliding in another home screen layout.:o

Thanks for your work.
can i hope you make a french version of this rom ??:D

[anarckia]

+1 for french rom ! :)

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

You have to edit some files to be able to use the weather panel in other homescreens.

in HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml there is a line CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel" that specifies to use HTCSlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and HTCSlidingPanel_320x240.cpr cpr files, which contain the weather panel layout. Maybe it might be a good idea to include them in the default microsoft cpr files... I'll try that

Modaco nodata works on the version I'm preparing.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Ok I've made the modification it works :) You'll now be able to add the new panel using a "regular" sliding panel layout

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

As for the Rom in french it's possible but it will need new translations for the new htc programs. Is someone wants to translate I can send the files.

[zati]

Maybe you can release a partially french rom without HTC programs translation.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

and yes I forgot about the myphotos panel hack ! I hope it won't be incompatible since it was hacked from a previous rom version..

[combory]

As for the Rom in french it's possible but it will need new translations for the new htc programs. Is someone wants to translate I can send the files.

Tell how to do, join your files and i'll be happy to make it :)

[bluege]

As for the Rom in french it's possible but it will need new translations for the new htc programs. Is someone wants to translate I can send the files.
To a portuguese Rom i can make a translation. If so please send me the files to do it. Thank you.

[zeeshee]

Hi Dr

Will you release it today or tomorrow?

[combory]

a second thanks for your job.

Another little problem i have : the clock is disappear if it's not used.
I'm using Autokeylock, and in charge profile, i choose to enable backlight et don't turn off display, so i see that the clock disappear. :confused:

I urge to fill test your future version :eek::eek:

[TheBo]

I would also be happy to translate it for italian users...


and for the system MUIs for WM6.1...I was wondering do you need specific S740 localized muis...or you can recycle even other WM6.1 phone's ...just 4 saying ...like omnia? Don't think it's possible, Am I worng?

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

zati : yeah I could but there aren't that many files to translate maybe 6-7. I'm waiting for someone's help I don't really want to. But I've already translated audiomanager so that's one less :)

[koostdijck]

Dr. Martin Gonzo, I saw there is an updated version 1.0a of your Rose XIP/SYS 20279 ROM. Is this the ROM with all fixes or will you upload a newer version?

[tipu2185]

Dr. Martin Gonzo, I saw there is an updated version 1.0a of your Rose XIP/SYS 20279 ROM. Is this the ROM with all fixes or will you upload a newer version?
I dont see any link to new rom. :confused:

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

I'm sorry I just have the files for french translation. So I will ONLY make a french rom. But I will give you the OEM ROM and SYS folder once the rom is complete so anyone with the correct files will be able to add a language. Also I've never tried it but I guess mui files from the omnia might not work

zeeshee : today

combory : I think this is the lock normal behaior, nothing I can do to change that.
To translate the files you need to use a program like reshacker (google it) and edit the mui files I've joined. save them with 040C in the filename instead of 409. I've also added previous french mui files for reference when I've got them. You'll have to compare the files to see if there are any new strings. If not then we can use the old file. If there are any new strings you should be able to copy paste most of the old french text to the new mui.
take care that the number are still corresponding !
MENUITEM "From Contacts", 40089
MENUITEM "From Call History", 40555
MENUITEM "Add %s", 1291
MENUITEM "Clear All", 40099
for exemple here 40089 might be 40088 in the old french file...
Good luck!

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Nono don't download this rom it is still buggy :D

[TheBo]

Because it is on his personal server...u can see it if you browse it...BTW mas made this night at 00.20 and since the DOc says it's the good one ...including the mods he has made now as we speaking..I won't download it.

[koostdijck]

I tried the following link: http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev/gonzo_rose_v1.0a.rar and downloaded a ROM file. Dr. Martin Gonzo just told us NOT to download this file because it is still buggy.

[TheBo]

I just received an SMS and I have noticed that on the home screen it has NOT the previou of the sender...Someone of you noticed it?
You could just trying marking an old sms as "unreaded"

[koostdijck]

Me too, I will not flash this ROM.

[TheBo]

@Dr Martin GOnzo

I've just translated 3 of yours MUI
The WeatherApp
HTCActivityLog
getMMSCtxMenuInfo

now to try them could I just substitute them on the fly or they are deep system locked..so I should cook a rom to thest them?

[hmmc]

i can translate this ROM for Czech users...

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

You can drop them them in the windows folder.

add in the registry :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available]
"0410"="Italian"

Then select Italian in the setting and reboot (maybe a reboot is necessary for the choice to appear).
I don't know if the rom will boot without all the SYS italian mui file present but if it does it should allow you to test your translations.

I'e finished the rom for now. Haven't changed the font I still can't figure how to change the size of the text in softkeys :confused:

Still one problem, it sometimes start a gprs connection at boot so take care if you don't have a data plan. I don't know if it downloads things or not or if the problem is only with me. Maybe it's the weather app trying to download although it is configured not to...
Let me know !

[TheBo]

mmm well my initial intention was using it as substituted for default eng 0409

so I guess the deploying trick would not work...

Thnks a lot 4 the tip

Font changing will be nice but may for next rom I guess, but about gprs does no data works on this rom???

And when will this rom be available.

[TheBo]

regarding the FOnt thing...I think fireburned should know how and tell you without problems becaused he did it recently in his latest rom

could this help?

I've uploaded the rom to qooy.com but the link doesn't work for me. I'll have to upload it to my own server again sorry for the inconvenience.

NoData works no problem.

I followed all those guidelines and other articles on msdn to change fonts. I can change them easily but can't reduce the size in the softkeys. I've sent a PM to fireburned to hopefully benefit from his help. In the meanwhile I've kept the standard fonts.

[TheBo]

Have you also changed them in the softkeys?
Because a workaround could be choosing a font that at the same weight (in terms of pt) is smaller

[TheBo]

Regarding the multi host service qooy I can also report that it doesn't work 4 me...btw it's common that those service go temporarly down due to the high traffic so..it is a good rule to annotate the direct links they provide to the effective hosts..like mEgaupload and Rapidshare and so you could publish just them and not the main multi-host link.

there are a lot of good alternatives to qooy you can google for it... shareonall
fileducky (this one is very simple and it always worked for me)

Pay attention some services are faster than other to upload your file to the various hosting services..

THANKS FOR YOUR ROM

It is perfectly normal to take that long for cold boot. Happened to me for every ver of this ROM I've tried to install

Woot. I just flashed mz working version. After 20 not running ROMs I finally got it working. Don't know if bluetoth is working I'll check. I don't think I'll release the full version, just the lite one.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

it seems this rom gave everyone a lot of trouble to build something working !
Also I'd really love to make the new camera work but I believe it's hard coded to a specific camera sensor.

Fireburned gave me the tip to make the font thinner. Apparently you have to make the OS believe the fonts are chines, its the only way to make them thinner. I'm waiting for his complete instructions to speed up the process.

[Rolandh]

Would it be possible to have a cab file of the Audio Booster, or does anyone know if there is one floating around the forums that will work on the Vox?

Roland

[bastiaan2003]

I flashed it any I didn't like it. There are too many hangs.
Maybe it's because it's a "beta" rom. I did like the Mona Lisa 19700 test version. I flashed to this one again and I'm sure that, when this ROM is finished, I will like it.

Keep up the good work!

[frauhottelmann]

The GPRS connection might be caused by the weather panel. It always wants to update after a re-boot!

[tipu2185]

Livemessenger still not working for me in the new rom

[Pikranus]

How is the QWERTY keyboard in the new ROM? Is this ROM generally more or less stable?
Screenshots and personal impression would be appreciated!

Is live messenger working for you???

[TheBo]

well I rebooted 7 times now and I hadn't the GPRS issue...I DO have the weather configured..and it works throu ACtiveSYnc...
maybe it 's because I don't ahve GPRS configured?

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Are you running any special programs that might cause these ? Anything step by step procedure that might reproduce those hangs ? It never hanged a single time for me :D

Yes you have to have the gprs configured for this to happen. I guess too that it's because of htc weather. Well it will be simple to test, reboot with another homescreen and I'll see!
And I confirm that windows live works for me. Do you have any error message or nothing happens ?

[Meerkats]

Thank you Dr G!

All is working well. The only thing I miss is the Guava colour scheme. Black is nice though! :)

Well Done!

I can CONFIRM:
Live msn WORKs!
Live Mail & Live Stuff WORK!

Bluetooth WORKs(tested with external BT receiver GPS)

GREAT WOrk doc!

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Well I confirm this connection is because of htc weather trying to update at startup. This behavior is quite dumb actually :confused:

NoData, I've found it in a cab file so I will install it.

[tipu2185]

Thanks a lot Dr. Gonzo for such a wonderful rom and your hard work. It is working perfectly. I love black rom and new calling style.

One thing I have noted that in contacts small icons on the left of each contact in previous rose rom were like those are in call record, in this version they are same as before previous old roms. They looked nice in version one.

Just flashed the v1.0a version, will test tomorrow and post feedback :)

Looking forward to testing already :D

[naidu001]

I feel the Audio manager's volume output is low:( comparatively with other ROMs..
Is it the same with you guys...?

[revanmj]

for a problems with the font size, I think you're using wrong font because it's wider then default which you can see on this comparison:

EDIT: as far I know default WM6 font is Tahoma but I couldn't find any cab file with it to test

[FeareX]

I feel the Audio manager's volume output is low:( comparatively with other ROMs..
Is it the same with you guys...?

Even with the volume at loudest? For me it's just as loud as other roms, only thing is the audio manager doesn't have any volume control anymore.

With the side volume buttons you can just put it as loud.

Or else try an hard reset/reflash?? That may solve it.

I do all of translate (only not jbed for the moment).
May be i do something wrong :D
Please help
Join the translation

[frauhottelmann]

Hey Dr. G which SYS muis do you use for the french translation? Are those from the Q9 dum or from where? I was playing with German, but the Q9 dump doesn't contain all SYS files necessary for the Vox and of course I would have to translate the OEM muis...

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

Yep Frauhottelmann, I just tried it with combory translations added it works good!
Tell me when you're finished translating all combory and we can have our french rom !

tipu2185 : you mean the picture for contacts wad different ? Right now it should just changes the pic for missed incoming calls or outgoing (right word?) you've made.

matrix77 : install mortscript (http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view) and put the attached file in your startup folder ! It's the script I wrote.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

well not so fast there are still incompatibilities. With the french mui I can't open contacts. Pretty big problem for a phone huh ? I guess we'll have to translate this one from the english one too..

[tipu2185]

tipu2185 : you mean the picture for contacts wad different ? Right now it should just changes the pic for missed incoming calls or outgoing (right word?) you've made.
In rose version 1. The pointed images in contacts were black and white like shown in call log.

Very good and stable so far. Very good RAM optimization, fast and responsive.
One question - I have backed up my phone using sprite. Now if Dr. G updates his ROM further with same XIP etc and i restore my back up after flashing will everything work smooth as now or I shall have to install everything allover again.
One more thing how are everybody finding the battery life ? It seems as if battery life has gone down a bit-not sure enough though. Waiting for others comments.
Many thanks to Dr. G for his hardwork.

I have similar kind of feeling about battery life but I am not sure. I charged it yesterday night now it is 48% left, but rom is awesome

[revanmj]

could someone tell me where I can find MMSC settings? When MMS was a separate account it was easily, but now I can't find it. I need it because my operator settings in Connection Setup are wrong and I have to correct them

[FeareX]

Hi everybody!

Like I said yesterday, "I will give my opinion tomorrow", so here it is :)

I tested it today (mostly at school) and i like the new interface (weather included an things like that)
At school is used audio manager all day, with my headphones plugged in. One thing i noticed was that if I forward a song and want to listen at any given point, the music lags a bit before it starts playing.
Another thing wich is different from previous versions. If i have my headphone plugged in and i receive an SMS, the sound goes trough the phone-speaker in stead of the earphones. I didn't like this very much, because i can't hear it trough the music.

And the rom doesn't feel very fast, but then i installed Vox-OC and put it to 228Mhz and now it flies (haven't tested if the audio manager lags with the OC turned on). But i definatly notice that the rom is allot more taxing on the phone then my previous Gonzo 6.1 rom.

When i receive an SMS and i read it, the icon wil still appear on top of my screen (and the text in the SMS tab on homescreen). Then i open it again, and thén it removes the icon. Don't know if this is a bug or something with my phone?

I hope the responsiveness will be better in the final version, but at the moment the ROM looks very good :)

Keep up the good work! :D

[TheBo]

My Keypad (not the QWERTY) does write only numbers...I've tried installing eT9 but nothing changed.

Some of you guys noticed it?

[tipu2185]

Mine is working fine for sms.

[Pikranus]

Finally flashed it :)
I think Internet Sharing doesn't work in this ROM. It just shows an empty window over the screen, and it's impossible to kill it in Task Manager.
Apart from that, it's a great ROM!! File browsing using Windows Explorer with my device connected through ActiveSync is now much faster than it used to be! The device boots up pretty quickly and responds very well. This is definitely the fastest and probably the best ROM for Vox ever.
Thank you guys, keep up the great work!

ADDED:
Nevermind, I got Internet Sharing to work after a couple of reboots. Very strange.

[Leygion]

Jump to it also !
Amazing work have been done !
French xT9 and keyboard layout installed
Works like a charm so far !

[chandanbs]

No problem with the camera here.

Hi all,
sorry during my first reboot after the OS was flashed, i had this problem.
i did two soft resets, and i didnt see this issue (camera view upside down), i think there was some device problem. now after warmboots, its working fine.

[lastOne]

Hi,
here are my findings with this rom:

- Comm Manager doesn`t start, therefore no bluetooth, no wireless
- pressing the Menu (right side) is freezing the application and cannot be closed not even by Taskmanager, only soft reset will do the job. This is true for : Start Menu, Contacts, Calendar, Pictures & Videos, Tasks etc

Unfortunately everything looks very good, but (for me at least) doesn`t work as it was supposed too.

Hi lastOne!

4 me too. I'm actually using an external Bluetooth GPS receiver.
Com Manger works just fine!

I think you are using 1.0 and not 1.0a

[guohuageng]

Could you tell me how to fix the bluetooth bug?

[swapnilgyani]

Have been playing with this one for a little over 24 hours now. I love the new features available during an ongoing call.

The ROM seems quite stable, no unexpected bugs this far. Bluetooth, Windows Live, Camera, Java - they all work fine for me.

The only area of improvement I can see in this one is the amount of memory it hogs :D Just as we have seen with almost all new ROMs, memory just disappears as you use the device. None of the memory freeing tools will reclaim substantial amounts. That, in turn, affects the overall speed and snappiness of the ROM.

I'm hooked on to this one for now. Thanks a lot Dr. G for providing us with a great ROM yet again :)

[lastOne]

i`ve downloaded this ROM 2 days ago using the link from the first post ... i think is 1.0a

[TheBo]

well the 1.0 has the bt not working like the Windows Live stuff

and the 1.0a has been added in the later afternoon of the 20 october (at the 17:10 here in Italy)

so maybe you downloaded it just before that time ;)

Good lastOne! yesterday I searched for an hour on my phone and over the net but i didn't find a solution. Glad you find it. Maybe you could post it here because I remeber another used was interested on it.

Btw i think it's really crazy that S740 users have to configure MMSC settings through a reg edit...

i`ll post the whole story later tonight when i go home ( i`m @ work right now). It involve couple of steps.

Infact this was exactly what I was thinking...I am using a Virtual Operator wich bases is network on vodafone's net so COnnection Setup...detects it as VOdafone settings..but OBVIOUSLY they don't work because the settings are different.

back to square one :(

[matrix77]

Is this rom draining your battery much faster then other?
It seems to me that the battery life is about at least 30% shorter, so I've flashed the Mona Lisa 19700, which is really fast, and I just hope dr.Gonzo will make the final version.

It seems that it was an mp3 music file (just one) which caused this problem. Without it AudioManager works, with it it doesn't. That's very strange, becaused it worked with no problem with WMP or older versions of Audio Manager. Anyway, erased the song, and everything works fine now.

Good job Dr. Gonzo and everybody who contributed to this great ROM.

[lastOne]

as promised, here are the steps i have taken in order for my MMS to work ( my mobile operator is not on the Connection Setup aplication database.)


- first i defined a new grps connection using my operator settings (Settings > Connections > GRPS > New). In my case Connects to: property is set to Work, very important.

- use a registry editor (i`m using Registry Workshop trial) navigate to :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\Work]

- copy the content of DestId to a blank notepad document, in my case this is : {A1182988-0D73-439E-87AD-2A5B369F808B}, not sure if it`s the same for everybody

- now navigate to :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\MMSCSetting\SampleMMSC]

- i just modified the SampleMMSC profile. Here are my settings, you should modify yours based on your operator settings:

"waptype"=dword:00000000
"Name"="Work" (i have modified this to match my newly created GRPS connection which is set to connect to Work)
"ConnectionVia"="{A1182988-0D73-439E-87AD-2A5B369F808B}" (i have modified this - you have this, or something like it, in that blank notepad i was talking about earlier)
"Gateway"="193.230.161.231" (i have modified this - provided by my operator)
"MmscURI"="http://multimedia/servlets/mms" (i have modified this - provided by my operator)
"ISP"="SampleMMSC"
"WAP2SendDefaultSize"=dword:0004b000
"WAP1SendDefaultSize"=dword:00019000
"SendDefault"=dword:0004b000
"GatewayPort"=dword:000023f1 (i have modified this - provided by my operator - don`t panic in the reg editor you can type a decimal number)

[lodewj]

Previously I was using the clean rom by fireburned.

my findings:
pro:
- nice theme
- darn fast

con:
- My phone isn't recognized by mobile device center anymore, so I can't synchronize or can't use it as external storage (am I the only one experiencing this?)

- Some icon's don't work anymore (like welcome center)
- When I want to type an sms or anything else, I can only use the sliding keyboard for alphanumerical characters. The normal num pad only produces numerical chars.

UPDATE:
After this procedure I can sync my phone again:
Start --> settings --> connections --> more --> USB to PC --> uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality".

Weird thing is that this worked with the clean fireburned rom.

1.0a also used after the Bluetooth problem?
There are ways to fix it?

as strange at it may sound ... most of the times work as expected and sometimes (it happend 2 time in my case) everything i listed in that post doesn`t work

[Pyrtek1991]

Chat sms... where I can delete it?
srry my e...

[TheBo]

Pyrtek1991 you mean you would prefer standar sms to the treaded ones?

If so...take a look at this

Before installing the CAB remember you have to shutdown tmail.exe

[Pyrtek1991]

THX ... all ok ;)

[nec947]

could anyone make screenshot from this ROM ?

[hashtowent]

New in 1.0a
-bluetooth works
-windows live works
-removed audiobooster
-fixed the not needed icon for task manager
-changed microsoft cpr files so that you can use htc panels on other homescreens.

Bug in v1.0a
-after setting up my gprs account info the phone sometimes establish a gprs connection at boot I don't know why. Tell me if it does the same to you. I don't know if it transfers anything either so take care if you don't have a data plan !

i thing it is because autoupdate is activatet ive dissabled and no more edge connections :) only if i want to :)

[birdibird]

nice rom again dr! :cool:

[FeareX]

I stepped away from this rom now because of the RAM drain it has.

It boots with around 20mb RAM available. When i open a couple of apps and close them (making sure in the task manager) some of my memory simply disapeares.
I know that what i discribe is normal, but not by this much.

Anyone else noticed this? Also the homescreen responds very bad, i think it's because the 200mhz cpu can't handle it (@240mhz its fine)

Would love to get some feedback :)

TRUE. i noticed the same problem too. I even flashed my rom again. Did a few restarts too but no use.
I have not installed any other software. Camera dosent start. It says not enough memory. Phone hangs repeatedly.

[TheBo]

Indeed it is true, but using Oxios and AEButton for closing apps immediatly (I configured AEButtons so I double press RED button and I close the app) I manage to have 22-20 MB of ram almost always.

P.S: I also removed The weather Stuff from starting...now I'd love to know how to get rid of HTCActivityLog.exe

[FeareX]

I flashed my phone back to lefab's cleanrom.
My phone was on all day. And of the day i wanted to listen to music and browse a bit in opera mini. First i went to the taskmanager and close everything (because it was on all day allot of memory was already dissapeared). So i was browsing with audio manager on the background. And all of the sudden my music stops, windows just exits audio manager to free up ram!! So i restarted audio manager and when i loaded the next page in opera, audio manager pops out.

So in short, it doesn't help the useability of the rom :(

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

It's in fact a problem with all the things htc put that run in the background : weather, phone skinning...
I think you could try to disable a few registry key to get rid of what you don't need :

for exemple in HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher you could delete the skinning of volume, the weather application if you don't use it and the automatic launch of pocket outlook at startup..

Maybe a few other things could be done to free more memory, like disabling the new skinning of the calling screen, but I prefer to keep it it's quite useful.

Can this be also the reason for battery shorter life with this rom?

[FeareX]

So the clean rom has it's positive sides :D

If a very clever ROM-cook cooks the new SYS and XIP in lefab47's clean rom, that would be perfect (winmo 6.1 and newest core components). LeFab47 was already working on this rom if i didn't misread it :D

But besides all of this, I really like the Rose rom! To bad it doesn't suit all my needs. Useability comes at #1 and if it shuts down my programs in use to free up ram then it just isn't for me.

I think this rom shows why the new s740 has that much memory. The coding is more inefficient (look like that to me)

Dr. Gonzo, keep up the good job! Your a true windows mobile guru :)

[matrix77]

Try Mona Lisa" v1.0 SYS 19700 XIP 20262, I like it the best, and I've tried them all

Aha, but what about the memory usage at boot? In the settings it tells me that there is very little ram available. Then I go to the task manager and end all tasks and allot more memory comes available. I wonder why that is...

But because you recommend it, i'll try it tomorrow ;)

Thx!

[matrix77]

After reboot I get only 15.84M and if I choose "free memory" in Cele Task, I am getting 26.34M.
I like it's speed and the battery life.
You can get it from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2598284&postcount=45)

[FeareX]

Running the Mona Lisa rom now :)

I have a question about flashing. In another thread i read that it is best to hard reset your phone after a flash. Is this really better or just make that specific person feel better? :p

[parthabhatta]

Thanks Dr Gonzo for the theme. Now we have a theme with different style. You are a really wonderful.
By the way the weather panel shows only temperature and weather icon. Previuosly I had used a weather app (Featherweather portrait) developed by Showaco in Excalibur forum. It worked really well with Vox and will suit very well in the weather panel of Red Dress theme of yours. But I am unable to try it since I am afraid once I install the app it will mess up with your app. So will you give your opinion suggesting a way I can uninstall your weather app keeping the theme and install featherweather by Showaco.

The link to showaco thread is

all credits to Showaco for this wonderful app.

Thanks

Wrong posting. Sorry.

[Grisu09]

Hello,

i am using this rom now for a few days. Its quit good, but i have one strange behavior : during phone calls sometimes my wlan turns on.

Is there some explanation , why this is happening ? It´s not a big deal but drains the batterie faster i guess...

[FeareX]

Maybe your holding in your volume up key? Wich makes WLAN go on.

[Grisu09]

Nope, no key is touched. Im using the button on the headset to take calls.

[zipredictive]

Hi everyone! And hi Doc... good work... and awesome theme.
I'm having a problem with this rom.
I powered off my vox and then, after switching on it, comm manager stopped working. I tried to start it from the menu, from the second tab in the setting menu from the home screen (last panel). I tried to switch off my wlan pushing the up volume button... nothing, down volume button for the bluetooth too...
I tried to start the exe and the ink from the windows folder, and from the power button menu too... nothing.
What can I do?
I tried to reflash the rose rom 1.0a for the second time... same prolem after some time
thaanx

[zipredictive]

.... sometime it works sometimes not! now its working! dont know why! anyway thanx for ur work! I love this rom

[Vener]

HTCActivityLog.exe is for? it is eating up the ram sometimes up to 16mb i believe it is a memory leak.
Btw is there anyway to make bluetooth visibility by default?

[frauhottelmann]

As far as I see it, HTCActivityLog.exe is part of the weather app! Try to change the theme and see if it still loads and consumes that much memory!

[Vener]

i changed the theme, it still loads, btw, it starts with around 2mb then it may go up to 16 mb before i had to restart to bring it down again.Anyway to remove it from the startup list?

[ragsAnurag]

Lookwise its superb. sometimes quite good sometimes hanging especially when I press menu. it won't open especially in folder manager, SMS, contacts, IE.
Thanks

[teddybalan]

Only problem with this ROM is battery life... or so it seems to me.

[kbs_ar]

i've found a bug

when i have the audio manager paused and somebody calls me, when the call is over, audio manager starts

[teddybalan]

Same here.

[Vener]

I think it is suppose to be like this.

[chandanbs]

yes, i too agree. battery life has gone down with this ROM. :(

[mrushabh]

it happens to me if i do it immediately after the phone begins..otherwise if i do it after around 2 mins its fine..instead it loads faster than dr martins old win 6.1

When does there come a final version for this rom? I now use the mona lisa rom but i want to upgrade, but with the bugs now I don't think it is smart. Need to backup my stuff again and like that so a need to be sure the most hard bugs are out of the version.

Thanks

[teddybalan]

Ok so i haven't found too many bugs in this ROM.

Good things:
Awesome looks.
Nice skins on Media Player, Audio Manager, Comm Manager
Bundled programs: RSS Hub and Photo Manager
Integration of Audio Manager on Home Screen
HTC Weather on home screen
ROM is really fast
Usual DR Gonzo ROM advantages: BT and WIFi on with side buttons, stability, etc.

Bad things:
Battery life - phone lasts around 60% compared to other ROMs
Audio Manager has no volume up and volume down buttons
Earpiece volume skinned (i don't like it, maybe others do)

I had to change the ROM because of the battery life.

Anyway, congratulations for this great ROM, Dr Gonzo!

[birdibird]

yes, me too.
I really really really like this ROM, but sadly even on my extended battery, the power drains enormously :(

So I'm thinking of changing back also.

[yosphorn_s48125]

could you please give it to us?

Audio Manager has no volume up and volume down buttons

YES! That is very annoying

htc weather auto update does not work, and sometimes data connection starts without any reason

[technician-2s]

i think i found the reason why the edge starts automatically when our phone starts. the rss hub starts up when we start the phone itself thus it triggers the edge to get connected for updates.

[eranyariv]

I just love Dr. G.'s work here. It surely made my life better with my beloved VOX device. Thank you so much!

I'm using non-English characters for my mail/calendar/SMS and they show up as squares because the Segoe-condensed font installed on the system only contains the Roman charcters set. I'd like to replace that TTF file with one that holds the complete character set. I'm not looking for a localized version - I love the English interface. I just wish to have non-Roman characters show up right.

Any idea where these font files are located?
Thanks,
Eran.

[frauhottelmann]

It's in WindowsFonts !

[eranyariv]

The only file I see in Windows\Fonts is ZLCD.TTF which comes from CityTime Alarms. I can't find the font file the system is actually using. Am I missing something?

[birdibird]

I got an interesting find: i was playing around with sktools and deleted some startupitems, and now my battery is waaaaaaaay better!

i killed the start of the weatherupdate
i set the wlmservice service to manual
i deleted the duplicate notifications
and reduced the started items in startup folder to only wifiInit
(and vitocopypaste, clockontop and tpc)

tornado power control is set to 201 186 120

let me know your findings!

[jontykay]

Dr Gonzo,

Just some feedback: This ROM still seems to lack the stability of your previous ROMs.

The Menu button freezes often.. it hangs and a lot of stuff just does not work..

Your previous ROM's have been an eyeopener.. please make sure this one does not let you down.

I am using SKTools Standard, where do I find the options to disable services?

[frauhottelmann]

You could use this! (http://www.fewbits.com/startmgr/)

[birdibird]

I am using SKTools Standard, where do I find the options to disable services?

just look in the list, you will find:
-Notifications Queue
choose action-mark duplicates, action-delete marked

-Services
scroll thru the list and change with action-manual

-Windows Startup
scroll thru the list and use the action menu



@frauhottelman: nice one, didn't know it yet :)

[Addicted2xda]

frauhottelmann & birdibird: Thanks a lot.
Will bug you, if I dont find it :D

[Gio512]

Hi Dr. Gonzo. I've downloaded your rom and I've found it very amazing! I loved it, but could you add again startup sound or can you explain me how to restore it? Thanks a lot.

Gio512.

[resofty]

This ROM killed my phone.

[resofty]

[Addicted2xda]
