[Update 14/12/08] MBV Solace v2 rc16 - Are you up for it?

[mbarvian]

Hey guys,

First off, I would like to say a big thank you to all of the people who have helped me out in my ROM cooking (you know who you are)!

Well, here's the scoop: First, my new puppy (a shitzu/toy poodle) chewed my cable up, so I couldn't flash ROMs (at least easily). The next week, I lost my device to freezing cold water (was bending over to put the cover on the pool for winter). Believe me or not, what I'm basically saying is that I have no device (temporarily). So, the following ROM has no screenshots, and I don't even know if it will boot or not. But, if you're up for it, here it is:

Solace v2:

This is what I ask of you: since I don't have a device, if you find anything wrong, or have any suggestions to make, please post a reply stating them! Also, you should probably know that I ported the XIP and SYS from the Opal, so it might not boot at all. Please let me know if it doesnt! Also, if it does not boot, just enter bootloader (press the stylus into the reset hole while holding the camera button) and flash a different ROM.

Oh, one last thing: as you probably know, many people like to see screenshots (including myself :D), so if it's not too much, could you post a few screenshots and I'll add them here.

Once again guys, I'm sorry for laying down the burden for you guys. I'm going to pick up a new device (hopefully) next week. thanks for your support XDA!

Enjoy :)

I know, and if it was me reading it, I probably wouldn't believe it :)

No, I'm not using the new PIE, and I'm gonna try and use the 20931 build

[Squilukl]

And now, I will go test.

REPORT: Not booting. :-(

[loller90278]

hey i have a question,i had solace v1 up and running, and downloaded v2 (that didn't boot)

how would i roll back to v1, or now the new updated v2 when it wont boot?

sorry if its a noob question, but activesync is not connected :confused:

[exoduzy2k]

read his post #1...
...(press the stylus into the reset hole while holding the camera button) and flash a different ROM....

You will see a tricolor screen. wait until you see "USB" appears, then flash your v1.

[mbarvian]

don't worry, this new one should boot no problem :)

[loller90278]

ahh thanks exoduz, didn't read that (my fault!)

Once you have a look at it, will try again. If I can be of any help let me know.

Same here. There is one difference, this one didn't flash a new splash screen. But no boot.

Keep working, I'll keep testing.

[mbarvian]

wow, this is pretty annoying :)

i have no clue why it's not booting. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the XIP, so I'll try using a different one.

thanks for the support though guys, and if anyone finds that emulator, please let me know!

glad to see you back cooking again brother

[Bjd223]

Holy smokes, this is sweet. I love Solace v2 beta. And I have a feeling that this next one will be awesome. Welcome back mbarvian.

[Travito]

mmmmm open beta, mmm.

Haha and to think you said you'd only be getting me RC3 today, you're already up to 5.

Maybe rip the XIP out of the blackstone? that would be interesting, maybe.

Also, are you still tossing in the New Generation/Diamond HTC Tones and Sounds (Innovation Tone, Afternoon Tone, Modern and Night sounds, etc) like with RC1?

[Posessor]

Nice work, but mine too gets stuck at the first splash screen.
But I did find the emulator for you though as a token of my appreciation :) :

no need to buy a new one just enter bootloader and flash a new rom (hold camers button, & press stylus into reset hole& plug back in usb cable when bootloader is up)

[Mayhem963]

Nope, RC5 not booting as of yet. Patience, grasshopper:rolleyes: . Sure this rom will be booting in no time.

[mbarvian]

new version posted!

let's hope it boots :)

[lebigboss]

I'm downloading it. Hope is my only way to survive this wait.

[parleyp]

RC6 Boots...just got to the alignment screen. More info to follow.

Great job.

[loveheels]

any photos?

[parleyp]

I just shot these. This is the raw rom except for my Garmin software. I don't have a hosting place so if someone wants to put these out that is fine.

[Vol22002]

RC6 Boots...just got to the alignment screen. More info to follow.

Great job.

Please post some screen shots. Thanks



(Edit) Never mind someone just asked the same question as I was typing. lol

[lebigboss]

It works good job your my boss!

[parleyp]

I didn't allow UC to run so this is all based on the raw rom out of the box.

UPDATE--RC7

rom doesn't inclued splash screen or radio. Testing with radio 1.58.25.17 works great

NEWLY DISCOVERED
BlueTooth will not turn on. I forgot to test on RC6

FIXED
No .netcf in the rom--must be added--FIXED
advanced config can't be opened--installed .netcf 3.5 to fix--FIXED

SIP is standard. Attempted to install your opal keyboard suite and it was unsuccessful. It fails with a permissions issue even if I separately install the certs and sdk certs. FIXED

Quick GPS fails on download. this is similar to an issue with pda corners rom but his fix will not install nor will a new quick gps cab. Fails on permissions same as the keyboard suite.UPDATE==killing biotouch allowed me to install pda's quick gps fix which now allows quick gps to work!--FIXED WORKS FIRST BOOT

STILL OPEN
Dialer is missing the more page where you turn off vibrate on connection, set your auto text response etc. Reinstalling your opal phone canvas to fix this doesn't. I am looking for the place to enable in the registry. Will report back. UPDATE--no fix found yet. I personally don't like having it vibrate when it connects and would like to find out how to disable it.

[I don't consider this an issue because not everyone customizes their weather locations and it is easy to fix]
Custom weather--patching with the n2a patch for this version works but you have to install scoutchua's manila fix afterward or touchflow won't start.


COMMENTS
Power Management fully enabled to start--great no tweaks needed

GPS does lock quite well indoors despite quick qps not being operable.

Overall works quite well. Will report more after I customize.

[mbarvian]

It works good job your my boss!

great to hear it guys, now all I ask is to explore the ROM and post your findings :)

I'm posting screenshots, courtesy of parleyp (thanks man!)

enjoy ;)

Try terminating Biotouch.exe with a proper task manager and seeing if that fixes at least some of your permissions problems. I had been having some issues installing some programs on RC1 due to that.

Welcome back M, missed ya...

I still have install failure due to permissions even with biotouch.exe terminated for the opal keyboard suite but the good news it that it allowed me to install pda's quick gps fix and now quick gps works..

[lebigboss]

As all your former Roms, this one is just great. But I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put the diamond (or touch HD) keyboard to be able to write with fingers.

[Travito]

Can anyone else confirm that Bluetooth is not working? or is it just my device?

[not-available]

Can someone tell me if this Rom have some kind of actionscreen? The one that clicking the send button (the green one) will give options to a lot of things?

Thanks

[parleyp]

rc7 posted!

fixed issues that parleyp stated :)

I updated my post. RC7 fixed most issues. The only annoying thing I have is the vibrate on connection. There should be a page in the options of the phone but it still isn't there and I don't know how to turn it off without that page.

Also, the n2a patch still requires scothua's manila fix to make touchflo work. I don't think this is a big deal because it is easy to fix and not everyone customizes weather.

Otherwise--Great job. I am going to keep hammering this over the weekend or until you release something new.

New Issue added to other post--BlueTooth won't turn on...Please see what you can do to fix. I love my BT stero headphones!

[parleyp]

Can anyone else confirm that Bluetooth is not working? or is it just my device?

You are correct. BT won't turn on.

[parleyp]

There is no action screen in it.

[not-available]

There is no action screen in it.

Pity.. the one on the Touch is very cute. Maybe there is a cab for it.

[parleyp]

Pity.. the one on the Touch is very cute. Maybe there is a cab for it.

Agreed. The one in PDAUltimate 10 is great.

[lebigboss]

In addition, if I good understand the pictures of the PDAcorner, Manilla2D works on landscape mode.

[Travito]

Also, requesting removal of PS Shut XP in next version, tapping "Turn Off" won't actually power my device fully off, and it takes over the default prompt. I'm on live chat with ATT support regarding messaging issues in the area, they wanted me to power off while they did some tests, had to yank the battery.

[msd24200]

ok all resolved :-)

glad to hear

[Travito]

am i the only one not able to send/recieve SMS?

I think it's a ROM conflict, downgrading to an older L26 ROM fixed it.
Re Upgrading in case it was a bad flash

Edit: re-up works, testing my normal Radio ROMs.

Edit 2: yep, just a bad flash, eMo radio and RC7 working.

[parleyp]

What about Bluetooth? Is yours working now?

[mtkhalid]

no luck with BT:(

[Travito]

What about Bluetooth? Is yours working now?

No, MBV thinks that this is something that can be fixed, albeit a difficult fix.

Also, I have mixed feelings on the new IE. My mobile view doesn't work, looks exactly the same as Desktop view. It's nice in that it doesn't use that much memory and is fairly quick, but now if i want to use a mobile website (facebook mobile, YouMail Visual Voicemail) I have to either use Skyfire or Opera.

[Mikulec]

Pity.. the one on the Touch is very cute. Maybe there is a cab for it.

Here u go. Hope u like it.

[commander5555]

RC4 gives radio info and the other info but stops on the splash screen.


same issue here.....

[not-available]

same issue here.....

There is already a RC7.. test it. Read also the last pages to check for bugs - example: BT is not working.

As I need BT a lot, will wait for other mbarvian release.

BTW: mbarvian, glad to see you back ;)

[TaC]

My Kaiser is ready for testing, but i need at least BT because i spend a lot of time driving...

[parleyp]

I agree with you on the new IE. I typically use skyfire or opera anyway because IE seems to be so far behind in usability.

I hope MBV finds a way to fix the BT because otherwise, despite the very beta nature of this rom, it is already one of the smoothest roms. I too have to have BT to function so am anxiously awaiting a fix...I do understand it is going to be hard to fix because it is my take that he is going to have to completely rip the BT stack out of the base and replace it with one that is known to work on the kaiser...lots of work.

[mbarvian]

ok guys, here's what's coming in rc8 (should be here momentarily!):


- downgraded PIE
- Ported 19606 CE OS/build from Xperia
- Bluetooth issues (should be) fixed
- Made TouchFlo 3D skin somewhat prettier (small changes)
- Fixed Shutdown issues and QuickGPS issues (ugly skin though :()

Uploading now!

welcome to the kaiser community :)

which rc are you using?

[Stranger1984]

same probleme here. Dialer not working.


*edit
I'm using RC8

[wolfo]

welcome to the kaiser community :)

which rc are you using?

the last one -RC8

[freakSHO]

my dialer seems to be working.

[wolfo]

The problem is not from the radio- downgraded to 1.58.25.17 and still not working :(

[parleyp]

Sorry for taking so long. I was out for a while. There is definitely an issue with the dialer. I just did a hard reset to re check. Also, first startup, there is an error saying tmail.exe is not a valid application. This pops up before the customization screen on first boot and after the customization after the hard reset.

The phone can answer calls with the BT headset but dialer cannot be entered from any button or link. Still no dialer after the hard reset. I am going to flash again.

UPDATE: reflashing...will report back.

Still no phone after second flash and hard reset...MBV can you dig into this?

[bigdyl69]

Just wondering, did you hard reset after flashing?

[Travito]

two flashes, made sure to HardReset, "tmail is not a valid Pocket PC Application" prevents me from getting into Pocket Outlook, this makes RC 8 a dealbreaker for me, what really sucks is that i spent all last night customizing RC7. Oh well, downgrading to 7 again, luckily i have my cabs saved in one place this time, need to install and configure Shashimi when i can afford a bigger SD Card.

Was the phone working for you? I have two flashes and hard resets and nada! That is a definite deal breaker.

I use Tier Auto Install so I can pick what I want...It is easy, with no configuration needed so I don't worry about sashimi although you can do the same thing with it in manual mode. FYI--6 more posts to senior status for you!

Yup, looking forward to that senior status.

Didn't try the phone, when I found that I couldn't open the mail app, it became an immideate dealbreaker, being i needed to get a functioning ROM in place so i could go back to college (was home for the weekend), I decided to config Sashimi to auto install everything i put on all my ROMs, flashed back to RC7 after trying to get mail to open on 8 a couple more times, and ran sashimi.

Ended up having to manually do a couple cabs though cause i forgot to disable TouchFlo to do the N2A weather patch. Which is nifty that the one for v20 works with whatever version MBV's got in this, cause 20 lacks the animations and this M2D is animation included, i figured the replacement EXE would conflict, but no problems.

[edg3one]

First of all i want to thank you for the great effort you put into this amzing rom)

Got a couple of problems with R8 on my Vodafone NL Kaiser..

1) "tmail is not a valid pocket PC application" when i (USB) connect to my pc's
2) Mail & SMS dont open in m2d (related to 1?)
3) Pin-code screen doenst popup after booting.. pressing the "green" phone button it still doesnt popup... only when i go into commanager and select "phone settings" i can enter my pin
4) related to 3 i think... green phone button dont get me into the dialer.

(other question.. why cant i select sim contact for "People" in m2d? or is this a common problem.)

I think he is using version 20.

thanks for the feedback guys :)

I'm gonna try and get the dialer working. The only question I have (to the people who are still running rc8), what is the CE OS/Build number of RC8?

Thanks guys

I'm still in RC7 which works fine (except for BT I don't use). I can't test RC8, I'm at work (in France it's 4:36PM).
MBV have U think about my keyboard problem?
It's will be great to can use internet without the stylus.

[Stranger1984]

CE OS/Build number of RC8 is "CE OS 5.2.19608 (Build 19212.1.2.60)"

[swtaltima]

so is 8.1 functional? love your work buddy and want to flash but seeing things about the dialer not working etc... just curious if i should wait

[hmdshmds]

MBarvian , your ROM would be a perfect one for my need.. if it has a built-in Video call support (3G dialer).
I tried to use some of the available 3g-dialer cabs.. but I ended up with a mixed graphics of the 2g and the 3g dialer!

[biscuits1978]

I just flashed RC7 this morning, and as it sits now it is running really slow. I will try flashing RC8 to see if the performance has improved. I was running the v2 beta and it was running very well prior to flashing RC7..

Update: RC8 still ran slow, along with the known issues of the phone dialer not showing during a call. I reverted back to Solace v1.5 and removed the Mortscript for M2D landscape, all is good and running very quick and functional. I, too, am a big fan of MBarvian's work, but I gotta go with a stable ROM on my phone. I know he'll get all the kinks worked out soon!

[trandinh]

I'm using Solace 2 beta, it's very good: beautiful, fast & stability!

Just flash Solace 2: hmmmmm...:
+ Phone dialer not appear
+ Not found tmail.exe when start up

+ I like new Power app.
but not have more time to test, so come back Solace 2 beta to use for my job and wait author's bug fix

Many thanks for MBarvian!!!

any news MBV?

[revo420]

I also would like to know :) how the phone situation working out for ya? and Happy Thanks Giving! hope you enjoy it you deserve it!

[myrandex]

I think that this rom has lots of promise. There are some things that I really like about it. The Dialer issues and the tmail.exe problem are showstoppers though :-/ I will probably reflash it back after they are fixed though!

I'm using RC8 and the dialer is working fine... It's really starting to look good MBV! I've been a big fan of your roms since the beginning they are very elegant and clean. MBV FTW!

EDIT:
Ooops take that back! Not working

[parleyp]

i haven't forgotten about you :)


I knew you hadn't forgotten. You have been very busy releasing all the SYS/ROM ports etc. I have a new found understanding of the complexity of putting out a good rom since I have been taking a few stirs in your kitchen...It is much harder to put out a quality rom than I thought. I have cooked a few and not been really happy with the results. I like your kitchen much better than ppckitchen. I feel like I have more control with yours although their kitchen is pretty slick when you first start.

[Travito]

i haven't forgotten about you :)

heheh, i know, i just felt like buggin ya.

How's RC9 coming?

[mbarvian]

heheh, i know, i just felt like buggin ya.

quite well. i'm playin around with the new omnia build, I think it'll be fast!

this sounds like great news! but just a lil bug i noticed in RC7...when I receive a text and respond, it'll still say i have a new text until i highlight the message.

Confirmed, i didn't know how to explain this properly to report it. I have to hit okay and go back in over and over if i'm in a conversational text set.

yup, this is a common problem in a lot of the other roms out there like HD and athineos, but never had a problem with it on mbarvians roms til RC7...not really a problem just EXTREMELY annoying lol

[jaimerod]

I can't wait for the next release candidate for this ROM. I've been testing RC7 and it has so much potential. I can't wait to see what you do with that omnia base!

[Travito]

speedy omnia bases make me happy... DO WANT.

[mantis123]

Cannot wait for RC9:D

[jaimerod]

MBV, I know you made a kitchen but do you upload the kitchens for your ROM releases? It would be nice to be able to cook in some of my paid programs into the ROM also.

Hey chef, do you have this m2d theme as a cab or zip?

Hey
I have looking forward to see this ROM, and i have a problem.
Seems to work fine, 2 things is annoing.
After boot, the radio wont work, until i under commiúnications press Phone, and then enter the PIN for my mobile-number.
The 2. is if i have to call someone, i cant press the greem "talk" button, nothing happens, when the phones ring, i can use the green button, and connct to a call.
And i can hit on the screen -"People" and press "Alle people" and then find the people i wanna talk to...
A bit annoing...
RC9 ??

[hummy15]

I am using MBV Solace v2 beta. The best ROM ever. No issues with dialer, connection, GPS, battery life, just name it! The battery life is very very good. I can't wait for the next one. I have flashed all SAKAJATI ROMS, and finally settled for MBV. Keep up the good work Chef.:):)

[parleyp]

Make that two dittos. I am up for a private beta.

Can't wait anymore :(

[adamantios]

I have issues with sms, email/outlook and like the others with the dialer. Any solutions?

BTW, great ROM!

Thanks

MBV Solace v2, is it up for me? :P

[Roflcopterrr]

what?! :confused:

i made a video illustrating it, it'll be up soon

[xmoo]

what?! :confused:

I get the same thing, but I am able to use the ROM.

First thing noticed THE SPEED IS AMAZING!!!

EDIT:
I did get this error, This is what i've done.

Instal ROM.
HARD-Reset
On Configuration press next (set-up the things after rom is installed)
done.

I've noticed that when you change somethin on the Windows Mobile set-up configuration you will get this warning.

EDIT

DO NOT CHANGE THE TIME, THEN YOU WILL GET THE POP-UP!!!

Darn it! I wanted to flash but i don't want to sacrifice all my data until it works, and if i can't set the date, there's no use, cause I use mine for scheduling.

MBV, do you have any ideas? Hop on AIM if you want to brainstorm. Haven't flashed but i can try to ponder stuff at the very least.

[jaimerod]

The last one I was able to use was RC7 and it was very nice! Keep up the good work! I have a feeling this rom is going to be BIG!

[Travito]

Well, here's the SITREP, Figured I'd save MBV the trouble of posting this as he had to log off earlier and i'm assuming he's also logging off XDA for the night.

Apparently M$ has been sticking TimeBombs into shell32.exe in new OS builds that are Beta.

Apparently the Omnia SYS in use is one of these with the lovely embedded timebomb.

MBV's trying to come up with a solution, we found quite a few links with information across XDA and some other forums while we were discussing it on AIM.

The best solution to ensure that there is no contamination of the SYS, would be to edit shell32.exe, hunt down and eliminate the timebomb code, and then use that version of the exe, but then there's definately some possible legality issues.

It seems you can also just use a different shell32.exe as long as certain conditions are met (can't remember off the top of my head) and then it'll work, but in that case i'm worried that the speed boost from using the Omnia base will be eliminated.

Passing this info along for the Tech heads, if any Mods don't want this here or if MBV decides that this should be internal development info, let me know and i will promptly remove it.

[adamantios]

I get the same window, but in my case it never went through the seetings...i.e., it never asked me to set anything up (align screen, time, etc). I can't go past it...

[Iced Coffee]

Just flashed the RC9 this morning and now got this same message on start up:

This concludes the beta test of this software release. Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers.

To obtain a newer release or further info, please revisit the web site that you used to obtain your current beta release.

I found a way to cure the Kaiser device: Go to BootLoader (as guided in Kaiser Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets):

* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone along with the camera button
* Release both buttons once the bootloader screen appears


After doing this you will find your device in BootLoader mode. Just plug your USB cable and flash another ROM :)

Good luck!!!

[erwinpiero]

You know what Iced Coffee, i'm just had same situation as You are :(, and yes, now i've just get in to bootloader and back to my previous ROM, does anyone know why?

[mbarvian]

it's fixed guys!

[not-available]

it's fixed guys!

Same link chef?

Also, the theme of the rom is the used on the images? Your pretty one m2d theme?

Thanks

[Sonfire]

it's fixed guys!

I'm getting a corruption when trying to flash the rom.

I downloaded it a few times. Is anyone else getting this?

Thank God for HardSPL. I've never seen a rom fail in the middle of flashing. Scared the crap out of me.

[Hodo]

I'm getting the same corruption - the RC9 download link says 'uploading' - does this mean there's another fixed file to try on it's way?

Getting the same error this cocludes the beta test.

[myrandex]

Well I downloaded it after noting MBV stating that the issue was fixed, but then someone afterwards posted that he encountered the problem. I'm wondering if it was really fixed or not...I'm thinking I really need to learn this Sashimi thing to make installing new roms less traumatic (not that I've ever claimed that before, just making sure all of the settings are correct etc.). I'll try it out soon if I don't hear a response and find out on my own.

Jason

[Travito]

That's an old link, he still needs to upload it. He said it was fixed this morning but the download link shows an edit yesterday and the upload is marked the 9th

[mbarvian]

ok guys, it's clear I need some more clarification on this:

I think I have fixed the issue where it the ROM expires. This was caused by using a BETA Build from the Omnia ROM. There was something called a Timebomb inside Shell\system32.exe. There was a patched version of this for the Timebomb, but it was for the Hermes (even though it wouldn't be any different on the Kaiser) build 19949. I could easily have switched these builds, and there would not be this issue, but there would be a huge speed decrease, and it would defeat the whole purpose of using the Omnia build (a little exaggerated there :))

So, I just patched the Omnia build's system32.exe

Thanks for Travito for his help!

Here's what's coming in RC10:
-Fix BETA Expire issue
-Better QuickGPS skin
-More ROM available
-Some minor multimedia tweaks

I'll upload it as soon as I get home!

I know that Sakajati released a version of Hyperdragon based on the Omnia build - you may want to check with that resource to see if similar issues came up when that ROM was cooked.

OH NO! I guess its wait until RC11. MBV is creating this rom without even having a device! A true master cook.

I'm not master, but I'll keep my eyes open if I see a solution. Thanks for trying so hard.

Yep, Rc 10 gets the same beta expired message. @#%^@^!! Was really looking forward to your rom man. Reconfiguring is such a bitch

[funkadesi]

aww mbravian, I was hoping for a great rom but you wrote a love letter :P we Love you too!

We'll just have to have the slowed down version until we find a way to remove that message. Maybe there is another version of the omnia build shell32.exe that won't go all crazy. We'll have to keep our eyes open. But for now, a working Solace v2 is going to be awesome!

Here's to *hopefully* getting a booting RC!

ok guys, new (slower) version uploading now...

too bad we couldn't get this worked out :(

Hey,

right after flashing/hard reset i can say that your *** rom works, but no service***, and that it's fast.

No "beta" error.

Just the error "cprog.exe is not a pocket pc application". It comes with every reboot. But it can be clicked away ...

Greetings and thanks for your work,

well i can't either log into my network, sorry didn't notice it right away.

so : no pin code entry.

Well after you click that message away, can you use your phone? Mine doesn;t work...I can;t get on the ATT network and it doesn;t even go to the dialer.

[jaimerod]

yes, I am having the same problem. I'm going to try to install mbv opal dialer and see if I can get to the dialer at least

Kind of unrelated, but I am having another issue with all these ROM flashes...when I restrore my backup I get "ghost" email accounts (my gmail). Does anyone know how to delete/remove them?

I am dumping the rc7 rom and will pull cprog out of that. My phone does answer and works...just the phone app itself is non responsive. I'll tell you what, once we fix this issue, this rom is a keeper. This is the fastest rom I have ever used including my home brew!

UPDATE--The one from rc7 says it is not a valid application.

[Travito]

looks like the SYS will just flat out not work.

You said that this was mostly omnia with the epix shell32, right?

Why not try a straight up epix port? being you said it wasn't too big a step down from omnia.

It'll probably still be an improvement from what the Kaiser community is used to.

hey guys,

i'm using the omnia build still, but I'm uploading a new version that should fix the phone issues. I just have a few questions:


How much free RAM/ROM?

What does the calculator look like?
What do the album and photos page of TouchFlo 2d look like when there is no music or photos available?
Anything that you would like to point out ;)?

I cannot update Quick GPS, always receiving Errors. and also, when I press Phone, nothing happen.

[mdmike]

what about when you go to Communications\Phone?

I can turn it off and on and I can also click on phone in settings\personal and set ringtones and other settings fine. just the Green Phone button and screen phone button at the bottom doesn't fire up the dialer application.

[parleyp]

thanks very much man ;)



AHHH. it must be something to do with the omnia build.

I'll look into it, more :(


Yes the phone can make calls and receive them, you just have no keyboard access or access to any options. I had the same issue last night when I dropped in cprog.exe from the latest Htc wwe kaiser build from my kitchen.


Quick gps is beautiful but not working.

I have attached the screen shots of the quesitons you have. I do hope you get this fixed because this is the fastest rom I have ever used.

FYI--I have shi tzus too. I know what they can do to cords and I have had more than one phone take a dip in my pool. Did you ever get a new device? Which one?

[mdmike]

Quick GPS is not working either. However Google Maps (Street version and standard version) works

I have Release Candidate Fifteen.

SYS: Epix
XIP: Omnia
QuickGPS Fixed (supposedly)

Will flash momentarily, I am authorized to release this should tests show as successful.

Edit: RC 15 is a NoGo.
* Activesync process: Replog.exe takes 80+% of CPU usage (hovering around 98 right now) and makes ROM unbearably slow when connected via USB and this lasts quite a while.
* Cannot access dialer, as before.
* It seems that you went back to a very old version of M2D, before the Music Tab updating and animation issue was fixed, that's a big issue for me personally.
* Quick GPS acts like it's downloading then tells me the connection failed.

Well L26 I have to admit it I bailed on waiting for a good one of these roms...only to retry your M3D rom (posting from it now). C ya,
Jason

I think it's better not to mirror Solace v2 yet since this are all beta versions.

Let's wait for a version really working ;) From what I'm reading looks an amazing fast rom.

[jaimerod]

Wow, thats very disheartening that rc14 was also a bust.

At least today is another day, and who knows maybe today MBV will succeed at creating the fastest ROM yet! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Everybody: don't give up on this ROM, this is where the future of the kaiser lies.

I wholeheartedly agree. There's lots of nice ROMs out there, but MBV is pioneering the use of an extremely fast set of bases here. It's experimental and we shouldn't expect it to work "just like that" because there's a lot of kinks to work out.

Also, I'm starting to think that shortly after I build my hackintosh for Christmas and get Parallels Desktop installed on it so i can run XP alongside OS X at pretty amazing speeds, I am thinking that I am going to start cooking. MBV keeps telling me it's a good idea.

[Tutungzone]

Mbar... just downloaded and flashed the most recent... I am liking it! Very fast it seems and no complications with USB like the previous version. Missing some needed apps on there... MS Voice, and such, but good overall so far. I will let you know if I run into the same bumps as others have experienced.

I have been playing at cooking...but I don't understand it all yet..I don't like ppckitchen.org as it has lots of things that just aren't available in the settings panels...They deleted them to pump up demand for their home grow apps..

I do like kaiserchef--mbv's kitchen but don't fully understand everything yet. I really want to learn from him because these roms are revolutionary. We will get it right as we test for him.

[Tutungzone]

... no complications ...

I agree with you guys that this ROM is very fast. The dialer screen missing is just a small thing...lol. It's ok though, only a few things to fix on here and this ROM will be the fastest I have seen with Manilla2D. Mbar... guess you still have not been able to obtain another phone huh? I used to have one with a bad screen around here somewhere I would give to you if I could find the damn thing.

Good work though... can't wait until the stable release... it will be screaming if it keeps this up!

[ruizit0]

nice but the included radio messed all up :\

release a free radio version please :)

There isn't a radio included....Mine wasn't changed when I tested it last night.

[Travito]

Confirmed. He's been leaving splash and radio out to increase flash speed.

[parleyp]

I thought this was the case. The file is too small to have the radio in it. Also saves upload time for him and download time for us. Have you heard from him? Do we have any more private betas? He asks as he slowly goes into withdrawal....

[Travito]

As previously posted, I Priv Tested RC15 with permission to release if successful last night, it was having the same issues reported in 14, and the USB problems from an earlier build came back apparently, as Tutung mentioned that 14 didn't have that issue, but when I tried to ActiveSync, POW! ZAMMO! BANG! 98% CPU usage.

I haven't heard from him today, worked 8hrs and tried to stay off AIM to be productive, i've been coding batch files for work. Maybe tomorrow...

[blaker13]

Damn people, dude is one of the best chef's around, and all you expect is perfection all the time, saying post this, post that, when if you just read all the post you could answer you own questions... And all this dont post this until it works and crap..... just dont post anything, so unperductive... we are lucky he is still her seeing he doesnt even have a tilt right now...lol, This stuff cracks me up.

[B0$$$]

When pressing the Call button or the green button on the phone, the dialing screen does not pop up. Even when I go to start menu and click phone nothing pops up. is there a fix to this?

Other than that this is the fastest m2d rom I have tried to date.

Can you please read some posts before the one you have made? If you read before post you can see that that problem is a known issue posted before and without solution yet. Chef is cooking without a Kaiser, so be patience dude.
