[ROM] [20282] NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez

[renegadedj]

im gonna chime in here and ask if you are using any weather applications?

if you are, thats whats eating memory, its the processes in the background used to enable those weather applications that , if you are not using any weather apps or panels, should be disabled.

if you are NOT using any WEATHER APPS OR PANELS got to registry and delete the MODULE registry key under HKcu\software\htc\bootlauncher and reboot. when you open celetask you should have not have any WEATHER or HTCACTIVITYLOG running in the processes window any more. memory leaks should stop.

[dkoenig]

If I want to install a different weather app, what is the best way to remove or deactivate the one that comes with this ROM?

Thanks for reposting :)

renegadedj and stylez,

Does hiding the app in the configurator make it not run, or just not show up? Is the registry change the better way to go to turn it off and install a different one?

(p.s. I love that weather app for home, but i am going on a trip and the city i want, nor one near it, is not listed)

[dkoenig]

double post.

CHomeConfig will only make it not display on the Homescreen, while as the reg edit will stop the processes of the app "kill the Weather App" make a backup of the reg then when get back from travel can just import reg and get the standard weather working eazy again :)

yep thats what i would do.

IMO weather apps are useless for me. if i wanna know the weather, i just go outside. if i wanna know the weather where i'm going, well, like any good former boy scout, be prepared, and take a damn good sweater or jacket. haha

[l0lcats]

lawl I really want to know why the JOGGR bar still flies off the handle randomly even after all of these ROMs...

[dkoenig]

I want to tether it to my TomTom. I believe with the Kavana ROM it was built in. I might just need to find the DUN cab somewhere.

[dkoenig]

I found this link

Anybody know if this is should work with the ROM?

[spamam1]

Hello,

First time upgrading S620 (well, a Rogers S621) for a friend.. not mine, unfortunately =p

Upgraded to 1.7 Final..

1) can't find "Camera" icon.. somehow, someway, managed to get it,
(fiddling around with camera album/etc), but it didn't do anything.. something like "bad link/shorcut".. I tried HARD-RESET; can't find.. re-load 1.7 Final.. can't find ..??

2) "Video Recorder" -- doesn't do anything when click on it (icon changes when
it has the 'mouse focus' but clicking/etc does nothing..

I've tried both with and without a 2GB memory card (can SEE the pictures on the card, so it's recognized).

??

Am I missing something?

Thank you!

Resco Explorer it's in the options Menu\General untick Enable folder auto-refresh, not sure about Total Commander Options but probably find the same kinda thing. :)

[PH4N70M]

thanks for the quick reply yes that solved it :D

i only tried total comander because of the problem

sorry for implying that it was your beautifully cooked rom

thanks again keep up the good work:cool:

Just downloaded 1.7, and for some reason I can't get wifi to work, and I'm not able to download MMS. I'm not sure if it's already been answered by someone, or in a faq somewhere, but if it is I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some people have had various issues with 1.7 of this rom. It's recommended that after flashing this rom users immediately do a hard reset and then do your customizing and installing of apps.

i used to use the kavana ROM on my old dash, t-mo sent me a new one today and i reflashed trying this version instead.

my only gripe is that the home screen section (CHOME in the CHOMECONFIGURATOR) only displays the missed/recent calls list and the voicemail; in the kavana version it had a sms option also.

any way to change that?

Yes you can in CHome show CMessage, then the 2 @ top of list will show missed calls & messages.

[bugmenot20090308]

thanks stylez, looks like i must've just forgotten to save the configuration correctly or something- went to the the configurator, disabled and re-enabled CMESSAGE and now it suddenly works. lol

[whezzie]

4 some reason I jus can't get into my messenger live ... the icon is there, but the application just ain't working

Someone else said this ages ago and i placed a pic of me in my account, i don't use MSN so deleted the account, sorry can't be of much help.
Download another version and install to device mem should write over if you think a prob with the messanger app?

Run the auto.bat in the FLASH ROM folder follow the instructions, if you get stuck @ 3% please read this post and follow directions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2807194&postcount=485) before flash.[/B]

Hard-Reset after you flash to stop probable problems "If you didn't and have issues please Hard-Reset before posting"
SIZE][/B][/CENTER][/COLOR]

Had this rom installed, was freezing, so I went to reflash via the above instruction, and the "hard reset". After hard reset and power up, white screen appears no longer with the "HTC" logo, and the phone freezes/sticks on the Window's Mobile screen. Removed battery and powered up several times but the same thing occurs. HELP!

The system volume should be fine, people have reported when listening via plug in headsets volume can be low.

I listen to music with the speakers and speakers on 6.0 were loud now when i listen to music with speakers i barely hear it i have to put very close to my ears to listen, is their anything that ur suppose to do to make it more loud?

Does any one has issues with the battery dischargeing very quick

I play music with the earphones and it just last 2 hours then phone turns down, after i turn it up again it just tells the battery has like 40% of charge left and last for another hour or so then it just turns off like it was completely discharged

any ideas on these issue ??

ohh and i know it cant be battery since i used other roms before and it just happend with this one

[jarroyo]

I had the same problem for a time and, it wasn't too long before the phone started just going completely when connecting to the internet, in a phone call, etc.

I also had the weird thing where, when it booted, the phone would show no battery power at all and shut down. When I would hook to a power source to recharge, it would reboot and, once in the main window, I could reboot from there and it would show the power as back up to 70, 80 or even 90%.

My current problem is shutting down when hitting the internet again. This is a new phone, fresh flashed with ROSE 1.7. I will probably try reflashing with 1.6 when I get home tonight and see what that brings. I hate the thought of going back to the OEM 6.0 :( YUCK!

Currently, I am at work and, when I tried to connect to the internet, it would not connect and shut down when I changed the settings in GPRS. This morning it did the same thing, when I tried to turn it on, it comes to the HTC screen, buzzes and shuts down. I have done this about a dozen times so far THIS afternoon, I did it for about an hour this morning.

[mbi0]

Hope we can come up to a solution this just happens to me under this rom maybe u can try kavana´s rom to see if its better 4 you :D

[LeoArg]

Very good, thank you!:)

I bet you didn't perform the "required" hard reset [/industrial strength sarcasm]. :rolleyes:

Yes, I have been plagued with much-shortened battery life as well.
I think I'm going back to Rickywats remake of Kavana's ROM.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate."
Well, what we REALLY have here is "software development" in the sense that MASH 4077 was a "surgical hospital". Slap-Dash (pun intended) and meatball, at best.
For example, when one these code-cowboys decides to cook up a ROM, do they:
1) Create a High-level Design Proposal that includes the programs, features, and utilities they intend to include, and then post it here and ask for public input before ever venturing into the "kitchen"? No.

2) Provide regular updates on the forum during the development process? No.

3) Implement a procedure for tracking issues as they arise during the dev process, including assigning an issue number (we call it a "Software Change Request, or SCR)? No.

4) Do they use a panel of software quality-assurance testers to evaluate the product and detect issues before releasing the ROM to the general public? No.

5) Do they release the ROM in stages such as Alpha (basic functionality is in place and working), Beta (all functionality and features are in place, most are working, ROM is stable), and Final Release (all features and functionality are in place and working correctly, ROM is stable, issues that were discovered (and tracked) in the Alpha and Beta phases have been corrected or deferred to a patch or service pack to be released later? No.

6) Are there procedures in place to accept and track issues reported by users post-release, with fixes/patches posted for download with README's describing exactly how the issue presented, what was the cause of the issue, and how it was fixed? No. (Just adding the a CAB file named "BaseHueFix.cab" to the D/L page doesn't cut it. I don't have time to read through 70+ pages of postings to see if that's the fix for my battery-draining issue. And yes, I've used Search, the # 2 "answer" to "fixing" problems right after "hard reset".).

Do I sound like I know something about software dev? Well, yeah I do.
I've been in software engineering for nearly nine years, three in tech support and the rest in QA.

This a-here is "hobby" programming for cell phones. So, you take what you get. And they are fun to play with.

FWIW, my recommendation is to NOT use these ROM's on a phone that you might actually NEED to be productive or have to rely on in an emergency. The OEM ROM might be ugly and lack features you would like to have, but it will have been through the processes I listed above and will typically be more stable, reliable product (though not always).

That's my $.02/your mileage may vary/any resemblance to persons living or dead is coincidental/statements made by GoJ or employees of Goj are not endorsements of any particular product or service/the secretary can neither confirm or deny at this time, etc.

A little off topic, but does anyone know why we can't edit the pagepool size after we've flashed and whether or not we can change the pagepool size if we're using a different ROM?

[stylez]

Yes you can use on the other roms.

Ghost of wako!!!

Yes there where & are many happy users, yes we did fulfil requests, yes we did update, yes i do still provide support and read all the thread you will see that.
Go cook your own ROM and don't go into subject topic past your level of skillz.
Yes you have anoyed me by your blatent lack of understanding first with regards coming into somones thread and slatein a ROM & the chefs....

4000+ downloadz and only a few disgruntled customers who didn't pay for the time taken yet will moan like you.

Have some decorum!!!

In other words use a different ROM and don't spout your mouth off......

Thank you for the time taken, to produce a ROM and help users.

[uansari1]

Stylez, thanks for your response to my question... but can we edit the pagepool size after flashing, or say I'm running Ricky's V24... can I edit my pagepool size and not reflash?

[stylez]

Stylez, thanks for your response to my question... but can we edit the pagepool size after flashing, or say I'm running Ricky's V24... can I edit my pagepool size and not reflash?

Not possible bruv, sorry to say wish it was as would then be far easier. :)
It's the .nbh that gets modified.

Fair enough... thanks for the clarification. :)

:cool:

Not to sound like a d*ck, as two wrongs don't make a right, but the ROM developers on here are doing this in their spare time and for fun. There are several releases of each ROM and there are generally .txt files with the changes laid out nicely for people to see and choose which ROM/version they'd like to use. Also, the threads for each ROM are to be used as a sounding board for issues and problems. There is ample information to ensure that problems are resolved. As for the Alpha, Beta, etc...People at MS as well as other pay software creators are paid for their work and have the necessary resources to go through all of the steps that you'd listed. Additionally, these companies have to be sure that they have nearly all of the bugs worked out before they release or people will lose faith in the developers' company and stop PAYING for software.

I have used several and am currently using Kavana's remade by Ricky. The battery life on the Dash is poor no matter what 6.1 ROM you're using.

This forum is for people who have an idea as to what they're doing and aren't afraid to try something a bit shy of leagal on their device. Sometimes you roll 7 or 11 and sometimes you crap out. Either way you've tried something and learned a bit more about how your device works.

The long and short of it is that nobody needs to be b*tching to these folks about what's going wrong with an install. Look for information and solve your problems or don't take the risk.

[Ghost of Jaco]

if you don't "recommend" us using these roms than why are you here?

My exact quote was:
FWIW, my recommendation is to NOT use these ROM's on a phone that you might actually NEED to be productive or have to rely on in an emergency.

Several people on here have more than one phone. The ROMs are fun to play with, I just wouldn't to load one up on a phone that I might need to call for an ambulance. At least, not until I had tested it for weeks under varying loads and conditions. So I load them up on a "spare" and keep a backup phone.
It's been a blast for the most part, and I have learned a lot about cell phones that I didn't know. :)

[Ghost of Jaco]

I meant nothing personal, Stylez, and it is unfortunate that you took it that way.

But I wasn't "moaning", I was just making observations about the ROM developement processes (or lack thereof). As for reading the threads to see how you are supporting your product, I have read many, many threads and postings. The reason you (and other developers) have to keep answering the same questions over and over is because of the lack of standardized processes in place for tracking issues as they arise. On a related note, 4000+ downloads does not equal 4000+ permanent implementations nor 4000+ happy customers.

I am not demeaning the efforts of you, Rickywats, Kavana, et al. Quite the contrary, I commend the amazing abilites and you all possess! And I know firsthand that software developement requires a lot of effort, and I applaud you all for making that effort.
I do feel that the products delivered to the public could be better developed and we, the customers, more satisfied, if some developement and quuality assurance standards were set in place. And that was the point I was making.

Good day.

[cswroe]

I have had some small issues with this ROM, but nothing serious. There was the battery issue, but a hard reset did care for it. Every once in awhile I am noticing a random restart, is that the ROM or some software I installed, I do not know. I make regular backups so I can always go back a few weeks.

A lot of complaints are raised by those that really do not have any business adding a cooked ROM to their device. The do not have the technical ability to read the instructions to begin with, and they do not understand that this is a gift, it is free, it did not come with your device. You chose to add this and have the ability to return from whence you came.

I enjoy trying out different ROM's but totally understand it is at my peril. If there is a problem as a group we can try to resolve it, but if not, so be it. It is tantamount to complaining that your daily newspaper was late when you do not pay for the paper to begin with.

No worries, i'm sure that if the redies where available and we got paid for our time then there would be alot done different, i understand how software development works in the business secetor but like quoted we are not making money and spend many hours of our time devoted to projects that we see no return except happy customers "oh and the disgruntled" to which doesn't detur us.

You have to understand from my point you come into a thread and write what you did then you gotta expect a response, if i had gone away and probably sat down and thought about my response it would have read the same as thousandlegs

Peace,

[roloracer]

Yes you can use on the other roms.

Good job bro, for getting it off your chest.:)

[kparikh82276]

I have to say that it has been a long time now and i have not had issues with the ROM. there are your scheduled resets and once in a while resets that need to take place because phone froze, but other then that, i advise people to load this rom you will love your dash again.

I have to say that touch screen offers more powerful programs, but this ROM makes the dash a new phone.

you will not want to get rid of the phone once you have installed this rom.

[NRGZ28]

Dont forget the original author of this ROM, without who none of this would have been possible.

Yes Please i would love a new rom till my htc touch pro 2 gets released from tmobile. And just so you know I use this Rom daily and sync through my works exchange server. I love it and I am a salesman so believe me when I tell you that I do a lot of phone time.

[vwgtiron]

No worries, i'm sure that if the redies where available and we got paid for our time then there would be alot done different, i understand how software development works in the business secetor but like quoted we are not making money and spend many hours of our time devoted to projects that we see no return except happy customers "oh and the disgruntled" to which doesn't detur us.

You have to understand from my point you come into a thread and write what you did then you gotta expect a response, if i had gone away and probably sat down and thought about my response it would have read the same as thousandlegs

Peace,

stylez.
You saying something bad about chefs, I might have to stab you with my wusthoff

You saying something bad about chefs, I might have to stab you with my wusthoff

Why you quote me since that's now totally out of context?....

So please quote the correct peeps..... :)

"From that looks like you going to stab me with your wusthoff?" PMSL :D:rolleyes:;)

[Ghost of Jaco]

I understand completely, Stylez. And once again, I meant nothing personally to any of you guys. Thank you all for the hard work that you perform to bring these ROMs to us. They do make our phones emminently more useful and enjoyable.

Peace.

I did some digging through the rest of the forums and it looks like there are numerous versions of this HTCActivityLogExe.exe app. A lot of them have an enormous memory leak and some don't. I was also able to track down that this process gets launched when you use the HTCSlidingHomePanel. The weatherupdateservice gets called which in turns loads the HTCactivity app.

For those who just want their phone to run without running out of memory every 5 txt's do the following:

Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Apps\HTCSlidingPane l and delete the "Module" key which has a value referencing the weather app. When you reboot, WeatherApp.exe, WeatherUpdateService.exe and HTCActivityLog.exe no longer load. Apparently they are all part of the weather app.

So perhaps those who are not having issues are not using this home screen?

I didn't have the problem, and I wasn't using that home screen... however, WeatherUpdateService was still loading on boot, as well as tmail.exe. This successfully stopped that from loading.

Do we need tmail.exe to load as well, or can we delete the registry module for that as well...?

Leave tmail alone as it's the process for your message box etc, hardly takes any RAM and does not consume battery. :)

hey NRG it would be really cool if you could cook your new rom (if you decide to make a new excalibur rom that is) based off the just leaked HTC Snap software
it seems as if Conflipper got his hands on it as it says over here: http://www.wmexperts.com/htc-snap-t-mobile-captain-no-inner-circle

just a suggestion

and thanks for all the work you've already done both for the Excalibur and Raphael

[NRGZ28]

HMMMM intereeesstiiiiing... I'm gonna go talk to Conflipper right meow! LOL :)

Man i didnt know it was so tough over here :D Sorry for you bro...and you know who you are ;) Just creepin some threads for my other bro :p

[uansari1]

Did anyone notice any better battery life with the save battery cab that Ricky posted a while back?

[rilbel]

I am gonna try this ROM pretty soon. :)

[uansari1]

Great rom, but the battery life is nowhere near Kavana or Ricky v24...

[rilbel]

Testing it.. looks good so far, got a couple of questions so.. :)

[rilbel]

Hey stylez, I flashed your ROM v1.7a.
Gonna test it for a week or so to see if I will keep it running or go back to Kavana's.

It looks real good btw. I like the black HTC logo thing when you start it. You got some nice themes with the green/black, which is more of a esmerald to be honest, the grey bars are cool, even though you have double sounds like two Old School tones, and others. Really like the new image for when you lower or make higher volume. :)

Great thing is that...

CHome is cool. Not an expert yet but I am playing around with it, reading also the thread in here. I tried to install the one for desktop, so to speak, it doesn't work... any reason why? It tells me that the CHomeConfigurator has encoutered a problem and needs to be closed. :confused:

I got a couple of questions.

1) First of all, I did the pagepool thing like you said at 4.5. I got around 24 M steady so thats great... but I noticed that the phone runs muuuuuch slower, when I click back, when I install or uninstall something. How come? Is there something related to the pagepooler?

2) When with Kavana 6.1, I had full bars and reception everywhere, but last night I had the phone go on searching way too many times and yes I did configure it for T-Mobile. Any reasons?

3) Can I change the icons using the CHome Config on the phone, or I need the desktop one?

So far not much more. If something else comes to mind I will ask. :)

Yeah the speed decrease is due to pagepool RAM or Speed they knock each other, tended to use RoseROM without, if you look @ CHome Config sticky there is a link in first post with detailed instructions & even a video how to set up own panels :)
Using same Radio as Kavana so not sure why searching
Glad you likeing & feel free to shoot any ?'s @ me bruv.

[rilbel]

Yeah I knew the PagePool had something to do with the lagging of the phone. And I bet you it might have something to do with also the network searching being so slow, although, I am just assuming here. So, just out of curiosity, if I PagePool at 15 instead of back to 12, does it mean my phone will be even faster than at 12... or it doesn't matter because 12 is like the max the phone needs to go at its mazimum speed?

I also can't seem to terminate CommManager and WrlsInt.exe in the Celetasks. I click terminate, click yes... and nothing... they don't go away.

I pretty much got the CHome down, but I don't get why the Zip version doesn't work. Any other links I can get it from? :)

I imagine this is something you should try and see.

If you have a backup application, you should be able to create an image of your software and just tryout different pagepool sizes to see which you like best. I have Sprite Backup, which allows me to make executable images... I have been trying out different pagepool sizes to see what works well.

So far 4.5mb is out... too laggy. 6mb was a little better, but I still felt like it was slow and the only way to have good performance was to overclock the processor which make battery life even worse. 12mb is smooth but I'd still like a bit more ram. I'll be trying 9mb pagepool shortly... just working on a fresh image from scratch so I can really make things easy for myself.

I'd love to hear others' thoughts on what pagepool sizes they like. I know Stylez recommends leaving the Rose pagepool stock, but dropping the older Kavana and Ricky roms to 4.5mb... guess we'll see. ;)

[rilbel]

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that 4.5 and 12 were not the sole ones you could try. I don't run a lot of things on it, but at times I like to run OZMess and it drains that M man.

Try any no. we "Ricky & i" have put this with instructions in thread.
I tryed all settings pretty much "when pagepool changer was posted and to be honest preffered stock on Rose.

I just flashed the 1.7 ROM yesterday.

I absolutely LOVE IT!!!! It is 150 times better than the stupid Tmobile ROM...

One question... Can i get the weather on the main screen to show more than one city at a time?

No. The only workaround would involve integrating another weather app into that homescreen and setting it to a different city... would be a lot of work.

[l0lcats]

Just flashed to 1.7. I find the phone is now in better working order than it was with 1.6. Maybe it's just in my mind...who knows. :D

I've noticed, though, that the battery life meter is not accurate and will not show the true amount of battery life left until the phone is restarted. This started randomly in 1.6 and I figured flashing would help. I'm looking to get a new battery anyway but I wanted to get this onto the forum just in case I am not the only one seeing this.

[uansari1]

Have all of you guys been sticking to the stock pagepool size? I was running a 9mb pagepool and the phone was MUCH more stable than with a 6mb pp, plus I had 21ish mb free memory. I just flashed to the stock 12mb to try it out for a few days. Curious to hear all of your thoughts. Also, are any of you with stock pp sizes ever maxing out your memory?

Hi
Please to all!
How install this files?
I cannot yet.
Thank you:)

[NRGZ28]

Well version 1.8 is coming... I'm working on polishing it up as we speak. It's FAST with this 21040 SYS and XIP. Stylez.. do you wanna go in together on this and start a new thread ? If you could provide me with all the extras that went into this ROM (I dont know if ricky ever gave em to you) I can put them all back in the ROM :)

So far, I've updated all the icons on it to modern looking stuff from the Maple and been optimizing it for speed. I can tell you I have A LOT more experience doing ROMs since the first time I made NRG "Rose" 1.0 :P So far so good, look for a release within a couple days. Stylez.. contact me man... :)

Holy f@ck, this is what I've been hoping for! The new core but with all the same applications... perfect! I don't know anything about cooking ROMs...but is there any way you can take their 1.7 and pull out what you need, or just replace the core? (That would probably make it too easy, huh?) :)

Btw NRG... is there any chance you know what Comm Manager uses to disconnect the data connection? I'm trying to add a subroutine to your MW1.3 weather.mscr to utilize whatever Comm Manager does after each weather update...

[NRGZ28]

datadisconnect.exe :)

[uansari1]

datadisconnect.exe :)

Yeah, that's what I thought... I actually tried to use it by clicking on it from Resco Explorer and it didn't do anything with the connection. Any thoughts?... I'll try to work it into the mscr and see if it works that way. Thanks!

Oh, and I edited my earlier post asking about extracting the apps you want from the v1.7 rom...

[NRGZ28]

Mortscript has its own routine for disconnecting active data connections. Look it up in the mortscript manual :)

As for simply taking the addons in their 1.7.. yeah... but it's easier if stylez hands em to me :P

I hear you about 1.7.

As for Mortscript, I've tried creating a sub called EndGPRS with the command "CloseConnection("The Internet")", with no luck. I also just tried changing the command to "Run("\Windows\DataDisconnect.exe")...also with no luck.

I've been researching for solutions, and came across others trying the Mort. function with no luck... even tried an app by Vijay555 on one of the boards that supposedly terminates GPRS connection, but didn't work either, lol... guess I'll keep looking.

[NRGZ28]

DataDisconnect.exe probably needs some "command line" switches. Not sure... I'll look into it for you if I get a chance...

[uansari1]

Thanks man, I appreciate that very much. I'll continue to research this and see if I can't find a way to trace what it does when run from Comm Manager (though I don't know much about software)...

On the topic of the ROM, if you guys end up doing this and if it's not too difficult, it would be amazing if you all could integrate Oxios Alarms into the "Clock & Alarm" the way it was in Kavana's and Ricky's v24. It's not a "must have", but a "very nice to have". :)

Edit: Found a solution for the constant network connection in this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305332&highlight=datadisconnect.exe

There's an application that someone wrote for the HTC Breeze that can set a timeout in seconds for the network connection, as well as other settings that I'm still exploring!

[Beasting]

so any exact date when the new version going to come out?

[sgalbincea]

Great ROM, but I cannot get the weather to work. I think this has something to do with the fact that I use the so called "T-Zones" hack. My settings:

GPRS
-------
Data1
Connects to: WAP Network
AP: wap.voicestream.com

Data2
Connects to: Work
AP: wap.voicestream.com

Proxy
-------
Proxy1
Connects from: WAP
Connects to: The Internet
IP: 216.155.165.50:8080
HTTP

Proxy2
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
IP: 216.155.165.50:8080

My question: has anyone using the T-Zones trick got the weather to work with this ROM? I was using a Kavana ROM prior to this and NRG's Weather 3.1 worked fine.

Thanks for you hard work guys, this ROM IS awesome. :)

[uansari1]

Try removing both proxies and changing "Data 2" to an apn of epc.tmobile.com and making it connect to "The Internet".

[sgalbincea]

No dice. When I went to IE to confirm I was directed to a T-Mobile page to upgrade my plan, apparently from T-Zones to whatever the $20 internet one is.

[uansari1]

What city do you live in? Could be that they've closed up the network due to the 3G rollout, though it would be quite a coincidence if it happened when you flashed to a new rom.

Don't worry about it. I just went to the T-Mobile website and since I have been with them for so long they offered me an $89 family plan that is unlimited EVERYTHING, so I just added the full $20 data and it all works great now! :)

How many lines do you have on your account?

[aussiedog]

How many lines do you have on your account?

Based on the pricing and that he stated that he has been with them for a while, I'd have to say 2 lines. 49.99 unlimited calling (I can't remember about the texting part) plus 39.99 for each additional line. It's T-Mo's Customer Loyalty plan. If you are a post paid customer that has been with them for a while and are in good standing (ie not too many late payments, etc.) you will qualify. Call them or go into any store and it will pop up on CAM if you're eligible.

Additionally, I hate to sound like I'm hawking T-Mo, but the 'new' rate plans changed on April 15th and all for the better. They added up to 500 minutes on some of their plans (at the same price) and/or free mobile to mobile. Check the website (or call, go in a store, blah, blah, blah) and see if it's worth it to you. Chances are that it will extend your contract another year on most plans, but if you plan on staying with them it's definitely worth it. :)

[sgalbincea]

How many lines do you have on your account?

2 lines, one for me and one for my wife. Was paying $150 for 2000 minutes, now $90 + tax for all you can talk. :)

Also, they didn't even make me extend my contract - too cool.

i have 4 lines i dont save at all

[sgalbincea]

Wow thats really nice

You would, it's $89.00 for the FAMILY plan, not 50+40. Anyways, this is WAY OT, PM if you want more info.

[aussiedog]

You would, it's $89.00 for the FAMILY plan, not 50+40. Anyways, this is WAY OT, PM if you want more info.

Don't know who you talked to, but it is $50+$40 for each additional line for Customer Loyalty plan, at least that what it keeps telling me when I am upgrading peoples contracts every day. :) If you know something different please pm me your rate code and I'll punch it in CAM tomorrow to verify and issue a public formal apology. They are still 'loosely' calling it a 'Family' plan when there is more than one line in order to avoid confusion with customers, it markets (sells) better, for sharing messaging bundles, and to obviously have only one bill, but since it's 'unlimited' it's really all the same (ie you're not pooling minutes). Additionally, some customers were complaining that they were losing their MyFavs. They didn't get that it doesn't matter with an unlimited plan. This (http://www.cellphonesignal.com/t-mobile-unlimited-loyalty-plans-get-official-on-myt-mobilecom/) might explain some too!

And yes, this is waaaay off topic, but I rather not have people thinking that they can get 4 unlimited lines for $89. No offense and take care.

P.S. My sincere apologies to Ricky and Stylez for jacking the thread. On topic, I have been using this ROM for a couple of months now with no glitches. Every day the phone brings a smile to my face. Great work guys!

[rilbel]

I'd like to know how you guys made it so that when I type a new text, to select the recipients I just have to type the name of who I want to sent it to ie: st and a list of people beginning with st will appear, instead of having to center click and choose form the list.

Thank you. :)

[iamyud]

Sorry guys if this has been covered but I've gone through 40+ pages and still haven't found anything out.

A) I get a weird symbol when I press alt for the "@" sign. I saw someone say to go to accessories>excalibur eT9 changer. It shows uk, usa, spanish etc. I can't select the other ones. It has UK selected but when i scroll down, the bullet doesnt move. Any reason as to why?

B) I can't edit profiles. I want to rename "Normal," "Silent," and "Vibrate" and change their volumes and what not but it doesn't do anything when I try to edit.

Thanks guys, any feedbacks appreciated.

Doh! Just dug in a little deeper and you are correct sir - $89.98 for the first two lines, $39.99 for each additional unlimited line.

Still, a heck of a deal if you ask me! Sorry for the confusion.

THANKS!!!! i knew it was simple, thanks again

[blooder]

i used to use the kavana ROM on my old dash, t-mo sent me a new one today and i reflashed trying this version instead.

my only gripe is that the home screen section (CHOME in the CHOMECONFIGURATOR) only displays the missed/recent calls list and the voicemail; in the kavana version it had a sms option also.

any way to change that?

Yes you can in CHome show CMessage, then the 2 @ top of list will show missed calls & messages.

I have the same problem. But when I click show for CMessage in the CHOMECONFIGURATOR is shows Message Center as a separate panel. But I would like just have new SMS/MMS on CHOME.

Well, i just downloaded this new rom, im excited to see what this baby can do! So far it is aesthetically pleasing, i like it. will post back later.:)

[stars.galore]

Ok, well i just flashed my phone to another rom, remake of ricky and stylez actually, the only issue that im having is.... where the crap do i find the .cpr and .dll files, everytime im in the windows folder, if i stop scrolling down, the phone will automatically take me back to the top, and no im not touching the joggr. Im new to all of this flashing etc, and i've been trying for the last 3 hours and how to re-do the font, i've downloaded some fonts from a different thread that i hope to get on the phone, but im completely lost. I'll come back right after work in hopes of finding some help! Thanks you guys!

P.S. my phone is so slowwwww now, any ideas why?

[Zypperneck]

Sorry in advance...newbie to this whole thing. But, I have a T-mobile Dash-Black. I see all these Rom Versions out there, what is the best one for my phone? I installed the Vanilla and it seems pretty good, is there a better one. I am have the Alt key mapping issue and my voice command seems to stop working when ever I disconnect my bluetooth headset? Have these issues been addressed in other Roms.

Once again, please be gentle, I'm ignorant! I have tried searching the threads for these issues, and noticed others having them, but I have not seen any fixes?

Thanks

[uansari1]

Have you searched for "best rom"? I suspect no, otherwise you'd know the standard answer to that question. I will say this, however... I've used Kavana, Ricky's v24 remake of Kavana, NRG's Rose 1.4, this remake by Ricky and Stylez (v1.7a), and NRG's latest Snap based ROM. All of them are good, but my personal favorites were the latter two. However, I also tend to decompile and scrub ROMs before flashing to my phone now to get rid of unwanted stuff. My advice is to try a few of them and see which you like the best. I think the most recent two will be the most up-to-date and stable of the lot.

[l0lcats]

I've noticed, though, that the battery life meter is not accurate and will not show the true amount of battery life left until the phone is restarted. This started randomly in 1.6 and I figured flashing would help. I'm looking to get a new battery anyway but I wanted to get this onto the forum just in case I am not the only one seeing this.

Strange...

Hi,

I'm new to rom flashing so any suggestions are apprecieated. I already tried google, the search feature just for this thread, just for the excalibur forums, and for the entire site.

I am using this rom right, without any other app's added. I'm having a problem with Opera Mini. When I try to log into a website, I cannot populate the password field. I can click it, type into it, but when I say i'm done, the field is then blank. Other fields on websites work fine.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for this great rom.

Um, yeah... that's not actually related to this ROM. You just don't know how to use Opera Mini properly. Once you've typed your password into the field, hit the center of your directional button (or "Ok"), then click done.

Being new to this scene, I figured it was rom related since it wasn't happening with my stock rom, and the fact that opera is included in the rom itself. I'm guessing I had an older Opera on there, or possibly just had my password saved and forgot how to put the pass in properly.

Regardless, you solved my problem and thank you.

[uansari1]

No problem... we all learn from each other, through trial and error, or accidentally stumbling on the answer (which happens fairly often I think)...

[agency391]

first off i would like to thank xda for all the help on my devices. i have had every device from the wing, blackjack, shadow2, pantech duo, but i have to say i love my dash because of this site and this rom. no disrespect to other makers of roms because they have all been great and im have tried to make one(bricked my dash many times) so i leave that to the big boys so i would just like to say thanks.. with that said i have i small something to ask about. when i go into my photos on a stock (and some cooked) roms i can go to my videos and see the thumbnails, but i have not been able to on this rom. i have done my searching before asking this question and if it has been ask can you just point me in that direction. well thanks in advance and once again thanks for all your hard work it is truly apperciated...al94r

[SRgustavo]

hi guys, im using this rom but for mistake i deleted the slim panels, and i liked lcd kavana's slim panel, is there a way that i can get it back??? or do i have to reflash???
i think it is a .cpr or.ddl, so if anybody got the file please let me know
thanx

[SirJangly]

Hey guys, great rom. I have a problem though. When I try to use a question mark, I get some weird f looking symbol, and when I try to use an !, I get an =. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

Search TegiceT9 it's the regional keymapping. Weird £ its a uk pound sign :D "i think that's what u on about?"
Was thinking u need US keymap now i'm wondering? and just wondering more...

Thanks I got it now :)

I have another problem though. My battery status is always at 100%! How can I fix this?

Hard-Reset as never been mentioned before... If still an issue after Hard-Reset Re-Flash.

[jarroyo]

with that said i have i small something to ask about. when i go into my photos on a stock (and some cooked) roms i can go to my videos and see the thumbnails, but i have not been able to on this rom. i have done my searching before asking this question and if it has been ask can you just point me in that direction. well thanks in advance and once again thanks for all your hard work it is truly apperciated...al94r

I have noticed in this and several of the other ROMS that when bringing up photos, it defaults to the device. I don't think I would be too unique in that I always save my photos to my storage card to save device memory. Is there a way to change the default on the picture program (the new one or the old) to look to a default directory on the storage card?

[thisone]

Rom is excellent!!!! Wow i was using kavan's rom before this on my old dash (currently has kavana's installed)

One question, how do i access my radio? And does it need an internet plan?

or is it like, the Phone Radio, As in, talking.

Thankyou for kind words & yes it's the phone radio as the dash does not have fm capability.

"execute SPL now - allow to run JumpSPL and after this step, press center button (Continue) on your Excalibur and screen should turn nearly white"
Press any key to continue . . .

Did the allow Certificate and the Unlocker...but after running the jumpspl, I get the Jump Address 0x0000 thing and then have no idea how to get past that. I never get the "phone goes nearly white" thing...???"

[Enlefo]

My dash suddenly went hay wire on me and I figured my dash had finally died on me. Decided to try a reflash and go with this ROM from the old kavana version I was using. Seems to have fixed things. This rom seems significantly faster to me, kudos to everyone involved! I can hardly believe how much faster my phone has come from winmo 5 > 6 > 6.1 > kavana > this.
I am rather annoyed at some of the messaging features though. With kavana you have missed calls, vm, sms, mms, and email all displayable in one line. You also get a message preview even when that line is not highlighted. With rose vm and missed calls have there own display line, as do sms and mms and then a third for email. Also none of these lines show a message preview unless you scroll to that line. I can no longer see all my messaging info without having to scroll down. This is a big step backwards for me and if I cannot change this I'll have to go back to kavana or try something else. I have looked around and cannot find any way to configure it so I can get all my info on one or even two lines. No option for preview either. Is there a way to change this?
Also curious if there is a way to change the text message alert noise to something other then the prepackaged sounds. This is non rose specific. every version of winmo 6 and 6.1 I have used cannot change them to anything other then the default noises even though the sounds are in a wav format. The winmo 5 I had on my dash could to this no problem, even used mp3's. I have even tried replacing default sounds with my own wav file under the same name, bit quality, etc with no luck. Not related to my first question but I figure I'll throw it out there and make my post GIGANTIC. :o

Go to start/settings/home screen and change it to sliding panel media (or media topbar) and then make any necessary changes in CHome config to add or remove panels.

The reason I am trying this is because I have that "keeps searching" problem mentioned on the board here a couple of times. Had the Dash for almost 2 years now and its been good, but the other day it started to freeze. I worked for days to get it working, but then had to do a hard reset. Since then it does not connect, except for Edge (Wifi works as well)...it just keeps searching.

I tried my SIM in my wifes Sony phone and it works. Makes me think something happened in the phone itself? Any thoughts or idea, or any help with where I am stuck above would be appreciated!!! :)

[netmatt]

OK, I let that screen just sit there (the 0x0000 one) and ran the other stuff and the screen finally went blank/white. Unfortunately, now the RUU gets an error [260]: Connection and says my smartphone is not connected...sigh?

EDIT: Re-ran the RUU and it found it...updating now, fingers crossed

UPDATE: Argh...finally got it loaded, but still same searching problem. I guess I am off to T-Mobile to try a new SIM Card...

[Enlefo]

Stick your .wav on root of storage card :)

Totally works! Also works with mp3's or by dropping the sounds in the application data sounds folder which would not work with my kavana rom. Woo hoo!
Know how I can set my alarms back to three with a review all page?

As far as alarm goes can't any much better "i.m.o" than pTravelAlarm (http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta.html) it's what i used to use when dash was primary device.

[memphis060]

The ROM is great!!!!

only concern is that it doesn't displays my Provider's name on the home screen... only a number... is there any way to fix that?

I Switched back to WM6 HTC official ROM (spanish), and the Operator's name doesn't shows up. It even acts like if I were on a roaming area, when I know I'm on my home network, and not roaming around.

[memphis060]

Sorry to bother you guys, I just figured out that both ROMS flased into my device, aren't from my local area... Rose remix is from UK, and the HTC WM6 its from Central and South America.

This is why the device "thinks" its roaming. With the NRG ROM it didn't had any problems, since it's US based.

I will try flashing the Original HTC WM6 WWE update again tonight. This is the one that was working great previously on my Excalubur.

Hopefuly it will do the job.

[drnayeem]

Great ROM ,

Thanks:(

i have not noticed this, did you have wifi turned on by accident? and how old is your battery?

this is the main rom i use, i have a second dash for playing. its a very stable rom , were lucky to have members like the ones we do in this forum

[drnayeem]

No i have a good habit of closing applications as soon as am done with those and my DASh id just 7 months old so i guess should not be a issue with the battery ........

Any way out ???

[skaroger867]

ok lets start at squar one, when you say it drians fast, how fast is fast? also what are your charging habbits been like over the 7 months?

[drnayeem]

Ok thats gr8 ...
i need to charge my cell 2 times a day, and the battery lasts for say half an hour of surfing ... thats it .
Charging habit i have been charging my cell overnight since i purchased it.
any suggestions ?
Hey thanks for your help ....

Hey thanks for your help ....

if reflashing isnt a problem i would try that, maybe a different rom to see if the problem stays. or try a new battery, you can get extended batteries from ebay for a decend price.

one of the two should fix the problem, or atleast pin point it

[drnayeem]

That seems to be a good diagnostic work out,
Will try out Energy Rom, tonight and get back to you .
Thanks

[skaroger867]

yea thats the good thing about the dash, so many roms to choose from. either way i would get an extended battery. im ordering an 1100mAh and a new non t mobile battery cover next week, along with a new upper keypad lol.

[drnayeem]

Hey ,
Followed your steps and flashed my dash with the new Energy ROM,
ROM looks great, but the battery issue is not yet sorted out,
the cell shuts down all of a sudden with the battery alert and when i reboot it shows 50 to 60 % battery ..............
any diagnosis,
:confused:

A "NEW" battery if still an issue then it's hardware.

YUP guess so ordered for a new 1050 mA battery on ebay,
should solve the problem i hope ........

Wrong Thread.........

[sbressler]

My apologies if this was already mentioned in the thread, but I couldn't find it by searching. I've been using this ROM for about a month and a half, and it's pretty good, save for two big issues. Perhaps you can help me with them:


No audio comes out in Windows Media Player. Speakerphone and ringing working fine, but I can't get audio from Windows Media Player (and I imagine other applications). And yes, I've made sure the audio isn't muted or at 0%.
Often, I get a "tmail.exe was unable to execute because the phone ran out of memory" message (or something to that effect). Almost immediately after the error message, the phone freezes and I have to take out the battery to reset. Also, any text messages that I had recently received are lost when I restart the phone. I never have more than one or two applications open at a time, and this error often comes when it would seem the phone has ample memory.


Thanks so much.

Let the ROM load full @ startup it's a problem with the original port. "there will be a double load leave till done" :)

those this happen after every reboot?
or just the first after flash?

[cobo10201]

I downloaded the latest version and i really like the ROM, but my RAM slowly drains until the phone isn't useable. I've flashed to other ROMs like Kavana's and the orriginal Rose and I do not have this problem. I only have the RAM drain when using this ROM

Its been a while since I have used this ROM, but from cases with a lot of ROMS, i can tell you this is definitly a leak. My best guess would be that it has to do with Pocket Internet Explorer, as i have seen it cause this is a lot of other ROMs. I don't currently use the ROM, nor did I make it (though Ricky and Stylez did a great job with it :D), but that is my best bet..my two cents...

Do you use Pocket Internet Explorer? From experience i believe that it doesn't have to actually be open, you just have to have opened it once and that could start a leak...

If you really like the ROM, maybe try using some of the free RAM Free'ing applications out there (use Google and such, I know there are there, I just don't remember where). Maybe that will solve your problem. Best of luck

I have to come to the same as i don't use the ROM anymore "update in phone AT&T Tilt" but never during my use did i have a leak that was substancial enough for it to be an issue, mind you many programs stock WM i never use, also with over 6000 downloads still a small ammount of reports of RAM leak "not stating there isn't just that it's not seen by all" ;)

[taalon927]

found something missing i would concider escential.

when viewing the MMS folder or even a MMS message, there is no delete option just move ....

how can i edit in this command? or can this rom be updated with this added and one thing removed?!

id like to suggest removale of the weather apps from the processes, i would suggest they remain as a extra to be installed but in reality.

1. not everyone uses it
2. those that use it dont need it to load up emmediatly
3. if it is used often it can still be added later.

just a idea because the two weather processes are my guess at the long reboot time.

either that or a way i can personally remove them from my phone, heck i live and work on a farm i dont need a phone to tell me its raining when i already know it is lol

People have said what to remove to stop weather in thread and the weather wasn't an addition it's part of the ROM, have no idea about MMS but no one else ever mentioned it so imagine there must be a way to delete them..

[Cyclonezephyrxz7]

If you can "Move" the MMS, just move them to the trash folder...then click "Empty Trash" or whatnot...that should solve that!

Good Luck :D

[taalon927]

actualy it was me not grabbing my glasses lol... i over looked it, they provide a delete button without going into the menu.

to bad about the weather thing, wish there was a simple way to uninstall it now that im running it. so far i like this rom but have noticed some random lockups and now and then it auto shuts down have not figured out whats causing it yet, could be a faulty battery. also sometimes while im doing something it flashs back to the main screen pretty fast not sure if it has something to do with the backlight turning off once i figure out what might be causing it, i might ask for help fixing it.

one question anyone else noticed that the power % seems to not read properly? battery in settings bar is always higher then if your use celetask to check it. and even that one i do not trust much.

anyone know how to change MMS settings so it does not always give me a delivery notification? i forget to remove it sometimes and i end up with 5 or more reports cause of sending it to multiple people.....

[jarjar123]

I have to say many thanks to Ricky and Stylez for putting together this rom. I was having so many problems with the Kavana rom, it just wouldn't play my drm music in windows media player and it would crash the entire phone when I tried. So I also had problems with the t-mobile rom because it wouldn't recognize the 8 GB micro sd card I had just bought. So after much tinkering I downloaded the Rose rom by ricky and stylez and now I can sync up my phone with my napster account and it plays like a charm on the 8 GB micro sd card. Wohoo, I be jamming mon!!

[notreally]

Can someone put \My Documents\UAContents\ in a .zip and upload it to mediafire?

I accidentally deleted it and lost the ability to create MMS.
